"I..."
Jia She hesitated to speak. How could he not understand the twists and turns in this matter? He was Jia Daishan's eldest son.
Only Jia Zheng looked blank. He really didn't understand Lin Ruhai's intention. In other words, he didn't understand the officialdom, let alone the great Jing Dynasty.
"The second-rank Lantai Temple official went down to serve as the seventh-rank Yangzhou Salt Inspector"
"Taizu appointed the salt administration of Changlu, Lianghuai, Liangzhe, and Hedong, and sent one supervisory censor to each of them, who were replaced every year."
"The salt from Lianghuai was supplied to Jiangnan, which was one of the lifelines of the imperial court. The Lianghuai Salt Transport Commissioner was set up in Yangzhou. The Yangzhou Salt Inspector was an imperial envoy. His purpose was to eliminate the dirty salt transport in Lianghuai and even Jiangnan, and to restore a clean and honest salt administration to the imperial court, thus feeding back to the national treasury."
"This is a bloody position. If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground and your body will be left in the wilderness."
"Why did Aunt Min die so early? Why did Uncle Lin entrust Sister Lin to his house? If it wasn’t trust in the Jia family, then what was it?"
"But now, how does the Jia family treat Miss Lin? How does Uncle Lin feel? How can Aunt Min rest in peace?"
The resounding words rang out in Rongxi Hall, like morning bells and evening drums, hitting the hearts of the Jia family members.
Wherever Jia Xuan's cold eyes said, Jia She, Jia Lian and others were all ashamed and embarrassed.
"Big brother, mother"
"You know all this too?"
Jia Zheng stared blankly at Jia She and Jia's mother, but saw that the expressions on their faces told it all.
For a moment, shame, regret, and pain intertwined in his heart, and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood again:"Puff!!!"
"master!"
"Second uncle!"
Everyone present was worried and wanted to step forward to help.
However, Jia Zheng did not faint. He waved his hands, his face flushed abnormally, and said:"I am the head of the second branch of the Jia family. Today, my wife and son did something like this. How can I get away with it?"
"Now that I have spit out this mouthful of blood, it makes me realize that self-cultivation, family management, governance of the country and peace in the world are the key."
"I can't even handle my own household affairs, how can I still be an official? I will resign from the Ministry tomorrow."
"Regarding all these matters, I will personally write a letter and send it to Ru Hai."
""Yu'er's matter will be handled by Xuan'er for a while. Now it's just them. We'll make a decision after we bring the maid here."
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu felt something was wrong. This was the first time Jia Zheng spoke in such a calm tone.
Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and others couldn't help but look at the mother and daughter. They were afraid that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully.
"My son, well, I can’t take care of it, so I won’t.
Seeing Jia Zheng’s pale face and a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, Jia’s mother was heartbroken and had to keep silent.
No one dared to look directly at Jia Xuan. This was too scary. In one morning, dozens of Jia’s maids, servants, and servants were killed, Zhou Rui’s family was searched, and Mrs. Wang was slapped with a knife. Jia Zheng vomited blood twice, and it’s not over yet.
Little Xichun on the side watched with relish, and from time to time she comforted Lin Daiyu who was worried because she remembered her father Lin Ruhai
"Second Master, Xiren is here."
Just then, the servant outside the door came in trembling with fear.
In front of everyone, a young woman with a slender figure, a long face, wearing a silver-red jacket, a blue satin vest, and a white silk pleated skirt walked in. She bowed respectfully to Lady Jia, Jia Zheng and others, and looked at Jia Baoyu with affection in her eyes.
This generosity made many people present look at her with new eyes.
Lady Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Youshi, and Qin Keqing had already seen the clues in Xiren's walking posture. It was obvious that she had lost her virginity for a while, so it was not wrong to call her a woman.
"Master, Madam!"
"I wonder what you want me to do?"
Xiren spoke gently, but she was tough and assertive.
"Ahem!"
Jia Zheng coughed lightly and forced himself to speak:"Let me ask you"
"Have you and Baoyu ever violated any rules?"
‘"Shua!!!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiren, but Xiren was looking at Jia Baoyu.
At this moment, Jia Baoyu was hiding timidly, without any masculinity at all, which made Xiren a little disappointed.
But she still stood up and replied:"In reply to the master,"
""Huh!!!"
Although Jia Zheng had guessed it long ago, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be completely shattered at this moment.
""Pah!"
The whole person collapsed on the chair.
No one saw that Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu with contempt and even disgust.
"Second Brother"
"Since things have come to this, let Baoyu take a concubine."
"Maybe you can enjoy the happiness of family life sooner rather than later."
Jia She said a few words that made everyone present open their mouths wide.
Was this clearly giving up on Jia Baoyu and starting to train the next generation directly?
"Uncle She is right. Baoyu is ignorant and rude. Now these things are still under control."
"What if he goes out one day and does something that brings shame to the family, and everyone in the house will be implicated?"
"In my opinion, after today's punishment, it would be better to move Baoyu to the back hall, choose a side courtyard, and take Xiren as his concubine. With someone to take care of him, he will be more mature and take on the responsibilities of a husband."
With a smile, Jia Xuan made a suggestion.
""Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Jia's mother on the couch couldn't help but poke the ground heavily with her golden nanmu cane, and said angrily,"I'm not dead yet."
"Baoyu is my grandson, I won't allow you to do this."
Others may not understand, but Grandmother Jia certainly cannot fail to understand that once Jia Baoyu moves to the side courtyard and takes in a concubine, it is equivalent to starting a family.
As long as you start a family, it will inevitably involve the major issues of family inheritance and family continuity.
The second room not only has Jia Baoyu, but also Jia Lan and Jia Huan, who can inherit the ancestral property. From now on, how can Jia Baoyu, who is almost useless, compare with the ambitious Jia Huan and Jia Lan?
By then, the things that can be left for Jia Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion will only be some extras.
"Puff."
Unexpectedly, Jia Xuan couldn't help but sneer:"Old lady"
"You think what he did isn't deadly enough?"
"Don't forget, you are just a woman. The Jia family order is in my hands. The Chixiao sword has killed many people in the family. I don't care about one more."
"With all that he's doing now, for the sake of the Jia family, I can ask my father to go"
"Xuan Ge Er"
"Don't talk nonsense here. You are the only good person, and there is no good person in the mansion."
"Jing'er is here, I will say the same thing."
Grandmother Jia's face fell and she scolded.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense. Others did not dare to confront Grandmother Jia, let alone interrupt her, and trembled.
""Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Jia Xuan stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:"What Jia Baoyu has done alone is beyond words."
"But what Wang did was not necessarily the case."
What?"
The attention of everyone present was once again focused on Mrs. Wang.
Jia She seemed to have thought of something, looking at Lady Jia, then at Mrs. Wang, his eyes were particularly deep.
Jia Lian was bewildered, not knowing why, and Wang Xifeng's expression became a little strange.
Li Wan was also stunned. She had never had close contact with her nominal"mother", especially after Jia Zhu's death, Mrs. Wang had always been resentful of her, and even did not care much about Jia Lan.
Jia Zhen, Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Jia Rong came from Ningguo Mansion, and they did not understand the meaning behind the words.
Mrs. Xing wanted to know why, but as a second wife, when she married into the Jia family, Jia Lian was already able to marry a wife, so how did she know the secret of Rongguo Mansion?
"Brother wants to tell a story."
Little Xichun held her chin up and waited with great interest.
Jia Xuan glanced at Little Xichun with a telepathic look and said lovingly,"Brother wants to tell a story about your sister Lin. You must listen carefully.""
""Okay!"
Little Xichun agreed sweetly.
Lin Daiyu beside her was extremely alert, afraid of missing a word.
"Haven't you done enough?"
""If you have anything, just let it out."
Mrs. Wang sneered, her eyes filled with hatred, resentment, and murderous intent.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Was she going to fight to the death with Jia Xuan? Was she crazy?
""Pah!!!"
Before Madam Wang could finish, Nan Qiao swung the knife again, and the dull sound of the scabbard hitting the face was heard.
·· ········Request flowers0 ·········
·· ········Request flowers0 ·········
This time, not only was Mrs. Wang's face swollen, but several of her teeth were also knocked out, and her mouth was full of blood. She stared at Jia Xuan in front of her with her eyes fixed, wishing she could cut him into pieces.
""Hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Especially Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing, and Youshi, who were also women, reached out and touched their faces, feeling a little painful.
"Xuan Ge Er...."
Anger is no longer enough to fully express Lady Jia's emotions.
In this Rongxi Hall, things that happened again and again have trampled on the dignity of the oldest lady in the Jia family.
"Haha!"
Facing Lady Jia's gaze, Jia Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently:"Ants always fail to see their own identity and want to shake the heavens."
"Little did I know that I was always the smallest one."
"........"
The Jia family's mouth twitched. It was really mean.
"I recently returned to Beijing and met my father at Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital. I learned some old stories."
"Wang, do you dare to tell us in front of so many people what you were like before you got married?"
"Come on, tell me!"
‘"Uh uh?"
This sudden question aroused everyone's curiosity.
Before she got married, Madam Wang was the only legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Is it different now?
Madam Wang's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, even a little pale, as if her most fragile heart had been pierced.
................
................
‘this...’
Wang Xifeng thought of something, and her pupils shrank sharply.
"This is our family's business. It is somewhat inappropriate to invite my aunt to come over."
"I'll just tell you about it."
Shrugging his shoulders, Jia Xuan continued,"At the beginning of the founding of the country, a merchant from Jinling went to Taizu. Because he was good at strategy, he was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards and the judiciary at the beginning of the dynasty, and was granted the title of county earl."
""Hmm!"
Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others all knew the story of Da Jing and nodded.
In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the titles were different from now.
They were divided into princes, county princes, dukes, founding marquises, marquises, founding earls, county earls, founding sons, county sons, founding men, county men, first-class generals, second-class generals, third-class generals, light car commanders, cavalry commanders, cloud cavalry commanders, and grace cavalry commanders, totaling eighteen ranks.
The founding marquises, founding earls, and founding men were the first subordinates to follow Taizu to start an army, and they were all granted titles.
The marquises, county earls, county sons, and county men were the meritorious officials who joined Da Jing after the founding of the country.
The former had titles, but the latter did not.
During the Taizong period, that is, when the current emperor ascended the throne, after the Yuancong Campaign, the titles were readjusted, and the marquises, county earls, county sons, and county men were abolished. Except for those who had already inherited the title, the people behind were not allowed to inherit the title.
Of course, the marquises who have inherited four generations like the Lin family are almost rare.
"The eldest son of the prince inherited the title of county earl and was in charge of the tributes from various countries. All the foreign ships and cargoes from Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan and Zhejiang were under his management. He held a high position and had power. He had three sons and two daughters, the father of Lian's second sister-in-law, the second son Wang Ziteng, and the third brother Wang Zisheng."
"The eldest daughter is the apple of the eye. She is always arrogant and domineering. She likes to ride her horse to trample on young crops and farmland, and treats human life as worthless."
"In contrast, the daughter of the Jia family is the daughter of two sons, well-educated, polite, and gentle. She looks down on the daughter of the Wang family who bullies others by taking advantage of her power. There are many fights between them. The daughter of the Wang family is repeatedly defeated by the daughter of the Jia family, and she has deep resentment in her heart."
"Later, the daughter of the Wang family married into the Jia family. The two daughters fought overtly and covertly, so much so that after getting married, the eldest daughter of the Jia family never returned home to visit her relatives."
"Since the daughter of the Wang family got married, her personality has changed from bright to dark, her mind is sinister and unpredictable, and many ladies from famous families in the capital have been deceived by her and have stopped associating with her."
"How about this story, everyone?"
Raising his hand, Jia Xuan said with a smile.
Almost no one could guess that the daughter of the Wang family was Lady Wang, and the legitimate daughter of the Jia family was Jia Min, the mother of Lin Daiyu.
Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others were all dumbfounded, and some could not believe that this was the always virtuous second wife!
Wang Xifeng had naturally heard similar rumors at home, and even her character largely imitated Lady Wang, so she was not surprised.
Jia She and Lady Xing were somewhat clear, and had heard some rumors, but not so detailed. Jia Zheng's face was already gloomy. Why did he hear so many rumors when he got married? It turned out that everything was true. Jiujiu.
