My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 136 Jia Mu talks about ancient times
When Jia Mu said this, the whole room was shocked. Jia Zheng was horrified and said, "Mother, why did you say this?"

Mrs. Wang, who was worried about her brother, turned pale and couldn't help but said: "Yes, mother, Tongguan is a big summer trench. No matter how many Mongolian Tatars there are, it will be difficult to take it down, right?"

"Sky moat?"

Jia Mu looked around, looking at the panic-stricken people, and sighed: "Is there any unbreakable natural chasm in this world?
If there really is a natural chasm, the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were many times more powerful than our Daxia people. In the end, weren't they driven out of the Central Plains by the rebel army led by Taizu Taizu of Daxia? "

Mother Jia's words instantly brought the originally joyful and peaceful atmosphere to a freezing point.

Baoyu, who was talking to the sisters, saw that the atmosphere in the side hall had turned cold. Timid people like Yingchun turned pale with fright. His heart also tightened. He stood up and walked to Jia Mu's side, hugging her. He grabbed her arm and said, "Ancestor, what you said scared Sister Yingchun to tears."

Jia Mu glanced around and saw that the timid Yingchun was already huddled in Tanchun's arms, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Even Tanchun and Daiyu frowned, obviously shocked by his words.

She laughed at first, then pointed at the girls and shook her head: "You guys have never experienced war, so naturally you don't know the horror of war."

After sighing softly, he added, "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have said this to you today, but the current situation has been too chaotic recently.

Brother Yu is the only person in our Jia family who leads troops in the court now. The old lady just said a few words. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. "

Wang Xifeng on the side saw this and said quickly: "Ancestor, what are you talking about? As the saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure. It would be terrible if we don't have you, the Dinghai Shenzhen, in charge of our house.

Now that it’s all said and done, don’t be too tight-lipped and open the eyes of us juniors. "

Even though Jia Mu was in a bad mood, she was amused by Wang Xifeng's words, "Well, let me tell you some of the things that I went through back then."

Everyone got excited when they heard that Jia Mu was going to talk about ancient times.

You must know that Jia Mu is now in her 70s, almost the same age as the Great Xia Dynasty. In addition, due to her noble status, people of this age naturally know some things that many people do not know.

Mother Jia first took a sip of ginseng tea, then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looked around at everyone, and then asked: "Everyone knows that our two ancestors of the Jia family started the army from Jinling following Taizu.

But do any of you know how many people came out of us that year? "

Everyone looked at each other and said they didn't know.

"64 people!"

Jia Mu slowly revealed a shocking number.

"In addition to the two ancestors Jia Yuan and Jia Yan, there are 62 other people in our Jia family who participated in Taizu's rebellion.

But why are there only two of us left in Shenjing now? "

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Jia Mu sighed: "Because all the other 62 people died in the battle. War is like a millstone. At that time, human life is the least valuable."

She then sneered and said: "How do you think our Jia family got a family with two kingdoms? That was obtained with the lives of the ancestors of our Jia family in the past generations. Starting from the time of the two ancestors, the men of the Jia family died one after another. There were no less than a hundred people on the battlefield.

Otherwise, do you think that the title of the Duke fell from the sky?

You are wrong, that was earned inch by inch by our good men of all ages! "

Jia Mu's words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shocking everyone's hearts.

Immediately, Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng again: "Zheng'er, you always say that my mother dotes on Baoyu, but I really don't want to let her go. Since Zhuer died, Baoyu is the only man in the second wife, and my mother can't let her go." Let him suffer no more.”

"Ancestor." Baoyu hugged Jia Mu's arm and cried.

"Mother." Jia Zheng also knelt down and cried bitterly. Mrs. Wang hugged Baoyu and cried non-stop.

"And you!"

Jia Mu pointed at Jia She, Jia Lian and all the other people with cursive characters and said sternly: "Do you really think that I don't know about the dirty things you do in your daily life?
The old woman was just too lazy to care, because she had seen too many dead men in the Jia family since she was a child.

In addition, I am getting old, and I really can’t bear to give away the white-haired people to the black-haired people. Otherwise, if the old Duke is still here, one of you will be beaten to death by the family law. "

At this time, all the men of the Jia family, including Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, etc., all knelt down, and there was a burst of crying in the side hall.

Mother Jia's eyes were red at this time, and she turned to look at Jia Yu, who was the only one sitting in the seat.

"Brother Yu, although I am a girl, when I was young, I saw my late father, Marquis Baoling, leading an army on an expedition.

During every battle, my late mother would frown and burn incense day and night to pray for my late father's safe return.

After marrying into the Jia family, Daishan Gong often led the army on expeditions. At that time, the person who burned incense and prayed for blessings was replaced by the old man. The old man spent decades like this until the old Duke... That's all, don't mention it. . "

She turned to look at Yuan Chun and said kindly: "Big girl... Now you are married to Brother Yu, and Brother Yu is highly valued by His Majesty. If one day you really lead the army to go on an expedition, you will know how to marry The warrior is in trouble."

"Ancestor."

At this time, Yuan Chun also stood up. She walked slowly to Jia Mu and took her other arm, with a decisive expression.

"Since my grandson marries Yu's brother, he will be born as a Jia family member and die as a Jia family ghost.

Yu's brother is here, his grandchildren are here, they bear children for their husbands, raise them and teach them to look after their husbands.If Brother Yu goes to war, his grandson will burn incense and pray for blessings just like his ancestors did in the past.If Brother Yu... has three advantages and two disadvantages, my grandson will live a happy life! "

"My poor grandson!"

When Jia Mu heard this, she hugged Yuan Chun and started crying.

"Can it be that none of the children and grandchildren of our Jia family can escape this fate?"

Only then did Jia Yu understand when she saw all the Jia family members holding their heads and crying.

Why was a woman who was born into a noble family and later married an outstanding person like Jia Daishan so confused and indulged the descendants of the Jia family so much that she watched the decline of the Jia family and ended up in nothingness?

She has witnessed the cruelty of war since she was a child. She really doesn't want to see the white-haired man giving the black-haired man away.

She just understood, but she still couldn't agree with Jia Mu's approach.

Now that he has entered the circle of Daxia's top nobles, it is like sailing against the current or retreating if he does not advance.

It's not feasible to just rely on the merits of our ancestors and wait to die. No one who becomes emperor will allow the court to raise a large group of moths. The consequences of doing so will only bring down the entire country.
