Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Jia Zhu nodded immediately after hearing Jia Zheng's meaning. To be honest, he had thought about it before the separation. That simple scholar, recalling how impassioned he was when he discussed state affairs with those classmates when he was a scholar, Jia Zhu would blush now.

He has never understood so well as now, what kind of courtier the emperor wants, you can be mediocre, you can also be petty, but you must be completely loyal to the emperor, as long as you don't get involved with any elder brother If you go in the middle, you won't cause any trouble.

Their Jia family is already eye-catching enough. The hereditary glory of the achievements of the ancestors is already a big attraction. If it is mixed into such things as forming a party, what good fruit can there be?The matter of Ningguo Mansion is the emperor's wake-up call. If Rongguo Mansion can no longer rein in the precipice, Rongguo Mansion will be the next Ningguo Mansion.

"But where is the old lady..." Jia Zhu was in trouble, and Jia Zhu also agreed with Jia Zheng's idea. As long as he was an official in the court, he didn't believe that he couldn't give his wife a shadow. Why bother to grab the Rongguo Mansion? Since it's the second room, then follow the ancestor's rules, and he doesn't think so!But the old lady is so old, if she splits up and lives with her uncle, she won't be so angry!

"I'll tell the old lady, even if I take a step back, the first room and the second room cannot be separated, and I will find a way to separate you from your wife." Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Zhu.

"Father, what do you mean? If the old lady doesn't want to leave, you have to accompany me?" Jia Zhu gave up, her eyes widened. Even if he was accused of unfilial piety, he would also get the old lady out. No matter what method he used, how could his father back down on this matter?

"The old lady is getting old, I..." Jia Zhu interrupted Jia Zheng before he could finish speaking.

"It's because she's getting older that she can't be stimulated anymore. The old lady is already sick with anger. It's the best choice to go out with us to take care of her life. Dad, you must be careful about this matter." Don't be confused!"

When the family is separated, everything will return to ashes. Jia Zhu knows very well in her heart that even if the old lady doesn't want to leave, the uncle and Mrs. Xing probably don't want to stay. Mrs. Xing has been suppressed by the old lady for so many years. She was unconvinced, but she didn't dare to make any moves under the pressure of the second room.

Now that Big Brother Zhen of Dongfu has been imprisoned, and he is still under the big hat of forming a faction, even if it is all over the family, it is not an exaggeration. The patriarch of the Jia family was originally Big Brother Zhen, but now he has to be replaced. Well, the most qualified one is Jia Amnesty.

At that time, Jia She will be the patriarch and the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. After the family is divided, Mrs. Xing may be able to turn the world upside down!

The more Jia Zhu thought about it, the more this was the case, and continued: "Thinking about it further, if the old lady refuses to leave, it will really come to the point of ransacking the house. Wouldn't it be unfilial for the old lady to be implicated at such an age? ? Dad, no matter what, the old lady can’t be allowed to follow the uncle and the others.”

"Things are not so bad. Although your uncle is confused, if you try to persuade him, you may be able to..." Jia Zheng still had the heart to say something, and Jia Zhu's eyes almost fell out.

"Father, what's wrong with you!" Jia Zhu looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief. It wasn't that he was cold-blooded, but he was a man as old as his uncle.What is dad going crazy about?

"Father, didn't you tell me that you also agreed to split the family just to get angry with your mother? Are you brave enough to say such a naive idea?" Cut off a stick to make my father sober, "Now we should separate ourselves from Dafang. What they do has nothing to do with us!"

Dad, are you too kind?Jia Zhu swallowed this sentence abruptly, only staring at her father helplessly.

Jia Zheng looked troubled: "It's not like Zhu'er doesn't know the story of Zheng Zhuanggong and Gong Shuduan. If we really do this, what is the difference from cultivating evil?"

Jia Zhu looked at his troubled father in front of him, and really didn't know what to say: "Uncle has passed his forty years, and you still need to persuade him? What's more, uncle is your eldest brother. When it comes to persuasion , it’s not Dad’s turn? Now, Dad, you see that this ship is about to sink, and you still hesitate to abandon the ship. When you die with him, are you still wondering if you did something wrong? Dad, you are sober One point, that's fine, you go to your uncle and tell him that the relationship here is serious, only this time, no matter what troubles happen to their eldest family, you are not allowed to take care of it, it has nothing to do with us! "

After sending Jia Zheng away, Jia Zhu didn't understand. The one who told herself sharply in the restaurant, where did the father who was different from Hanchen and Manchen go?

Seeing Jia Zhu returning to the room with a gloomy face, Li Wan thought that something happened again, and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Is there any bad news?"

Jia Zhu shook her head, smiled wryly, and said to Li Wan, "Tell me, have I changed and become cruel?" The uncle is his close relative, but he really has no affection for him. Wife, father, have complex feelings for mother, and Baoyu and other juniors are like Bibo's father. Is the relationship between people only relying on blood to maintain it?With such indifference, even if they are close relatives, now he will not have any compassion for them.

"It's changed, but there's nothing wrong with it. I'm changing too. Do you think I'm not good?" Li Wan gently held Jia Zhu's cold hand. At the same time, she had the idea of ​​separating the family. She looked at Mrs. Wang's housekeeping methods, imitated Yingchun's behavior considerations, and firmly remembered Wang Xifeng's killing. Everything was waiting for her husband to support her a new home. , she guarded their home for him.

She is not the ignorant Li Gongcai who only knew how to abide by the three obediences and four virtues.

"Maybe, everyone is growing up, but he is refusing to accept it." Jia Zhu secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that this matter cannot be left to father, it is a matter of fate, and there is no room for error.

Jia Zhu did what he said, when Jia Zheng adopted Jia Zhu's opinion and went to find Jia Amnesty impatiently, Jia Zhu went to Jia Mu's room, and when he came to the door, he saw Yingchun's maid Siqi standing there. At the door, Jia Zhu stopped and asked, "How is the old lady?"

Seeing that it was Jia Zhu, Siqi saluted quickly, then lowered his voice and said, "The imperial doctor has just left and opened a house. The cook is boiling medicine. The old lady has woken up. She just said that she is tired and wants to rest. After a while, no one asked to pass it on, and the second girl is accompanying her inside."

Jia Zhu nodded and said to Siqi, "Go in and report that I have something important to tell the old lady."

Siqi hesitated for a moment, and went in through the curtain. After a while, he came out to let Jia Zhu in.

Jia Zhu stepped in and saw Jia Mu lying on the kang, her face had changed a lot, Yingchun sat beside her, still holding Jia Mu's hand, her eye circles were still red, obviously she had just cried.

Jia Zhu knew in her heart that Yingchun was also the daughter of her uncle, and now the old lady was obviously frustrated by her father and stepmother. Yingchun felt worse than anyone else, and he also felt sorry for this sister, but he really He has ignored so much, it's not that he is cruel, it's that he can only make plans in the future after picking himself out first. Working outside to redeem the second younger sister from the market.

"Pearl, come here." Mother Jia waved her hand to Jia Zhu, letting Jia Zhu come over, "You are promising, now at this juncture, you don't have to worry about me anymore, if you have anything to say, just say it. "

Jia Zhu glanced at Yingchun, Yingchun's face changed slightly, and then she shook her head lightly: "Brother Zhu, since it's an old lady asking, you can just talk about it, it's good to know something."

Mother Jia also nodded, and patted Yingchun's hand: "Second girl, even if I fight this old bone, I won't wrong you."

Seeing this, Jia Zhu sighed inwardly, and hoped that the old lady would not be like her father, who was hesitant to make up her mind.

"Pearl still wants to know what the old lady thinks about the separation of the family." Jia Zhu didn't answer, but asked Jia's mother first.

The family separation was a great pain in Jia Mu's heart. When Jia Zhu mentioned it, Jia Mu couldn't help showing a sad look on her face: "If this family is really divided, I will have no face to see the dead ancestors!"

Jia Zhu thought to herself that it was indeed so, and then continued: "Of course Zhu'er knows, our family is not full of people, and we don't have a noble background. We only got a Duke's mansion with the blood and sweat of our ancestors. The bitterness in it is not worth it. Outsiders say that the old lady must want to protect this inheritance passed down from her ancestors, not only the old lady thinks so, but every time Zhu'er thinks of this, she will feel uncomfortable in her heart."

There was a look of regret on Jia's mother's face, and there was also a hint of sadness and pride. When she married in, it was the time when Jia's mansion was in its prime. At that time, she was half the lady of the Shi family and half the Jia mansion. Daughter-in-law, but how many years have passed by now, her children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and the current foundation of Jia's mansion also has her hard work, which is already an inseparable part of her vitality. No matter what, I can't let go!

Jia Zhu looked at Jia Mu's changing expression, and continued: "But the old lady, because of this, she is even more attractive. The old lady is very transparent, so she can't see clearly. Why did Dongfu fall? The big brother just sent some things to the elder brothers in private. To put it bluntly, it was just entertainment. First, he did not participate in the rebellion. Second, the position of big brother Zhen is a false title, and it is impossible to interfere with the court. The name of the party was confiscated, which shows that the emperor has long thought about the Dongfu, if the Dongfu is like this, how can our Rongfu be better?"

Jia's mother was silent, and there was deep thought in her eyes. Every word Jia Zhu said hit her heart, and then she looked at Jia Zhu who was speaking rationally in front of her, and Yingchun who was also thinking on her face. , Mother Jia suddenly felt that she was really old. Mother Jia had never lacked the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists. Thinking of this, Mother Jia slowly showed a smile.

"Okay, okay, as expected of Zhu'er, as long as you are still here, even if the Rongguo Mansion falls, the Jia family will not fall either!" Rather than clinging to a glory that has already faded away, Mother Jia hopes to return it in her lifetime. Can see another round of rising sun, and Jia Zhu, she can already see his future.

Jia Mu let go, and Jia Zhu's goal was achieved. Coming out of Jia Mu's room, Yingchun followed behind him. Jia Zhu looked at the second sister who still had tears on her face, and felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. feel good.

"Second sister." Jia Zhu was about to say something, but Yingchun shook her head.

"Brother Zhu, I understand that everything is irreversible, and there is no need to delay any longer. I know what kind of people Brother Zhu and sister-in-law are. Considering the relationship between you and my brother and sister, you should pull me out anyway." Yingchun didn't have a sad expression on her face, instead she showed more strength, which turned Jia Zhu's pain into appreciation.

"There is one more point. Brother Zhu has to think about what to do with the second wife after the assignment is made. Don't underestimate the second wife." Yingchun finally said.

Even the second sister has already thought of this, Dad, what do you really want?Thinking of Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu was frustrated for a while, no, he would never allow his father's brain to short-circuit to such an extent, even if he knocked his father unconscious, he would force him to separate the family together!

He didn't believe that his uncle could be awakened by his father's words. If he could wake up, he wouldn't have been drunk and dreamed for so many years!It's not that he's being mean, it's the truth.

Sure enough, as Jia Zhu expected, Jia Zheng spent a lot of saliva on Jia She, in exchange for Jia She's white eyes and cynicism.

"I know. Didn't you just fall in love with the position of the patriarch? Now that your second wife is very prosperous, you want to trample us under your feet, don't you? Don't forget, I am the hereditary title The eldest son of the eldest son, this family should have been divided long ago. Did I say anything about you occupying Rongxi Hall for so many years? Now that the family is going to be divided, you see that the situation is not good, so come and tell me that there is nothing wrong with you. Save yourself, come and send the second master out."

Jia Amnesty was ungrateful, Jia Zhu looked at Jia Zheng's face, and felt very unkind in his heart. My old man would not touch the south wall and would not look back, this is good!

Jia Zhu didn't bother to persuade Jia Zheng anymore, and directly said Jia's mother agreed to split the family: "The old lady has no objections, and she is willing to let us take care of it. Dad, what do you have to worry about?"

At this moment, Jia Zheng really had no idea. He nodded, but then said: "In a few days, the case at the East Mansion will be concluded. Brother Zhen and Brother Rong are probably in trouble. Right now We still have to figure out how to buy some innocent people back, Brother Zhen and his daughter-in-law can't be left outside as slaves."

Jia Zhu's heart suddenly turned into a jumping foot, when is this, and she still thinks about Dongfu?

"Father, Lian's daughter-in-law is the housekeeper now, and the family is about to be divided. Do you still want Lian's daughter-in-law to come out with money to redeem someone?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment: "After Lian's daughter-in-law got married, Zhen's daughter-in-law also walked around with her a lot, and she couldn't just leave her alone."

"Ha, Dad, you are wrong. Now that our family has just made up for the deficit, and the daughter-in-law Lian has no spare money, I am afraid there will be chaos for a while after the division of the family. At that time, the daughter-in-law may not even have her own money. I can't even take care of it, and I can still manage it to the East Mansion? Do you think Mrs. Xing doesn't exist?" Jia Zhu can now imagine the conflict between Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng after the separation of the family.

"Furthermore, can Lianer's daughter-in-law listen to your father? Now in our house, even the servants are only following Lianer and his wife's lead. Daddy, you are still thinking about these things, which is really ridiculous! "Jia Zhu is going all out today, and his father is still thinking about waking his uncle up. Now, in his opinion, his father is the one who should be scolded.

"What do you mean?" Jia Zheng was taken aback by Jia Zhu's rare squall.

"Father, haven't you noticed? The furnishings in your study have obviously been tampered with, and many books have been downturned. I saw it at a glance when I went to the study the other day. At that time, I called the kid in charge of the study to come over and ask. I know that Lian'er has been there." Jia Zhu paused, this study is where Jia Zheng works, and he often goes to the study to discuss things with his father, and it's fine if the kid at the door doesn't stop him. Are you free to come and go?

When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt the taste. When the things were in Jia Lian's hands, he was only thinking about the feeling of returning the lost things, but he forgot how Jia Lian took the things from his study. I heard Jia Zhu mention it from time to time, and then I realized something was wrong. I dare say Jia Lian didn't sneak in, but was let in by the gatekeeper in a fair and honest manner!

Seeing that the expression on Jia Zheng's face also changed, Jia Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. If his father is not moved by this matter, then there is no cure!

"Father, don't worry about the affairs of Dongfu. We can't care so much now, and there's no need to care so much. You have to take care of everyone, and it will only drag you to death!" Jia Zhu threw down With this sentence, I turned around and went back to my room to discuss with Li Wan how to deal with Mrs. Wang's affairs. If my mother's affairs were handed over to my father, I'm afraid it would be a mess again. I have to suppress how much reluctance and sadness I have now. , even if it is a mother, it can't go on like this.
