"What did the old lady say? My grandson admits that since he returned to Beijing, everything he has done has been with the family in mind, and there has never been anything inappropriate. I wonder why the old lady said this?"
"snort!"
"When you first returned to Beijing, you abandoned your biological father and grandmother and made your elders wait for a long time. Isn't it unfilial?"
This is preparing to settle an old score. After hearing this, Jia Hui pretended to suddenly realize:
"It turns out that it was because of this incident that it was indeed my grandson's fault that day. I have already told the master that he didn't care! Grandma also said that she didn't take it to heart. The grandson also expressed his gratitude to the old lady for thinking about his grandfather and grandson. I never took this matter to heart, but I didn’t expect it to make the old lady so angry. In this way, my grandson is indeed unfilial!"
Jia Hui said it was her fault, but implicitly accused Jia's mother of not caring about the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren.
Jia Mu also knew that it was really unjustifiable to accuse Jia Hui of being unfilial because of that incident.
Then he went on to say:
"What now? You're dealing with the servants in the family without telling me. Do you take me seriously?"
Jia Hui heard this and replied:
"Old lady, my grandson has already informed the master and Brother Zhen about this matter. One of them is the first-class general of the house, and the other is the head of the Dongfu family. The old lady is very old. Because of this matter, the old lady has troubled her to worry about it. Sun I can’t bear it!”
"Besides, the master is the first-class general in the house, shouldn't he be able to deal with the servants in the family? You must know that the target of impeachment a few days ago was the master, not the old lady and the second master!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
After such a long time, she also figured it out. The people in the government were so rampant, and he, the head of the family, could not escape the blame. However, outsiders only recognized Jia She, which indeed allowed him to escape the fate of being impeached.
"Brother Hui, it is the old man's decision to run the family. Do you still want to change it?"
Seeing that the fire had reached Jia Zheng's office, Mrs. Wang also became dissatisfied.
"What did the second wife say? I just said that the eldest master has the right to deal with the servants in the house, but I didn't say anything about the second master!"
"okay!"
Seeing that she could not grasp Jia Hui's fault, Jia Mu also began to feel upset.
"Now that the most evil servants in the house have been killed by you, let the remaining ones go back. They are all old people in the house. I am used to them. If I change them, I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to them!"
"You have to agree to this!"
"this..."
"Old lady, their blood relatives have been killed by their grandchildren. How can we keep them around? It's better to sell them again!"
The money in the house has been distributed, how could Jia Hui let them come back.
But Jia Hui's answer really struck home with Jia Mu, who sneered at Jia Hui and said:
"I just said you were unfilial, and you still talked back and retorted. After saying so much, have you ever taken my words seriously?"
Jia Hui shook his head when he heard this and said:
"What the old lady said is wrong. You obey your relatives in everything and do not argue about right and wrong. This is foolish filial piety! Although my grandson is a military commander, he also understands some principles of saints. The Filial Piety Classic says: A husband's filial piety begins with caring for relatives and ends with serving others. Jun, finally stand up!"
"Today, my grandson is afraid that the master will be implicated by his slaves again and deals with the criminal slaves. Secondly, His Majesty appeases the good people. Thirdly, he punishes rape and eliminates evil and protects the reputation of my Jia family. Although he is not as loyal and filial as the ancients, he can't bear it. Be the last one to be unfilial!"
"Hmph! What a mouthful!"
Seeing every word of her words being refuted by Jia Hui, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel helpless.
Then he thought of something and said:
"I think your sharp mouth is specially used to deal with me. Since you claim to be loyal and filial and don't take me seriously, I won't be annoying here anymore. Yuanyang, prepare a carriage and horses for me. I will go back to my hometown in Jinling. Let the Duke see what kind of life I, an old woman, am living now!"
As he spoke, he stood up, as if he had really made up his mind to leave Shenjing.
"Mom, don't be angry, why is this happening!"
"My mother is already old, how can she bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling? Isn't this just shortening her son's life!"
"Mother, my son has realized his mistake! Please calm down!"
This time, Jia Mu's mother stepped on Jia She and Jia Zheng's face.
Seeing that Jia Mu was about to leave, she quickly knelt down in front of her and apologized.
Mrs. Xing and the Wang family also hurriedly tried to persuade Jia Mu to give up the idea of returning to Jinling.
Although the Jia family has fallen to a middle-class family in Shenjing, it is still a royal family, and Shenjing is the center of power in Dachu.
As soon as Jia's mother leaves, Jia She and Jia Zheng will always have someone to serve them.
Although Jia She had a title, he had no official position. Although Jia Zheng had an official position, he was just a small official.
None of them wanted to leave Shenjing and go to Aurous Hill, a place they thought was a wasteland.
"Brother Hui, I see you've made the old lady so angry. Why don't you apologize quickly and relent, lest you make the old lady angry?"
"Yes, brother Hui, the old lady is so old, why do you bother to contradict her like this!"
In order to keep Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng also began to talk to Jia Hui.
Looking at the chaos in the hall, Jia Hui couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
How could someone like Jia Mu really leave Shenjing and travel thousands of miles to her hometown in Jinling?
Why did the founding lineage in Shenjing City stay in Shenjing and did not want to return to the original county no matter how declining it was.
It is because Shenjing is the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom. No matter how it declines here, in the eyes of others, it is still a noble family in the capital. No matter whether it is a wife or a daughter, it is still a noble family in Shenjing.
If he returns to his original county, I am afraid that within two generations, he will be completely forgotten by the great Chu nobles.
That is the real decline.
It's not that Jia She and Jia Zheng didn't expect this, but they were frightened by Jia Mu's use of this trick for a lifetime. They really didn't dare to bet on whether Jia Mu would really get angry and leave Shenjing.
But this move won Jia She and Jia Zheng, which really did not scare Jia Hui.
If Jia's mother returns to Jinling, she will be his grandson, Jia She and Jia Zheng are still alive, and it will not be her turn to serve her.
I still hope that Jia Mu can leave Shenjing. It would be better to take Jia She and Jia Zheng away.
"Master, second master, the old lady is old after all, and it is normal to feel homesick. As juniors, we cannot just care about ourselves, we must obey her!"
After that, Jia Hui said to Jia Mu who was getting up:
"Don't worry, old lady. My grandson understands the old lady's feelings. Now my father has no official position and my second uncle is just an outsider. There is no big difference whether he does it or not. My grandson will go to the palace to express his gratitude to His Majesty. Let the two of them A gentleman will accompany the old lady back to her hometown!"
After saying that, he started to leave, but Jia She held him back!
"Brother Hui, the old lady is just saying angry words, why should you take it seriously!"
"Yes, brother Hui, all the old relatives and relatives in Jinling are gone. When the old lady goes there, there is no one to talk to..."
Jia Zheng on the side also opened his mouth to dissuade Jia Hui, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Hui.
"Second uncle, it is human nature for an old lady to miss her hometown. Besides, the old lady of the Zhen family is still alive. Isn't Aunt Yangzhou sick? We just take this opportunity to visit! Why do you two want to stop her?"
"Don't worry, old lady. My grandson is Uncle Wu, so he can meet the saint directly. He will go to the palace to request an order for the two masters to accompany the old lady back home!"
After saying that, Jia She was shocked and left the Rongxi Hall directly, leaving only the dumbfounded Jia Mu and everyone at a loss.
