Now that Jia She was suddenly seriously ill and was about to die, no one knew that one of the happiest people was Mrs. Wang.
In fact, Mrs. Wang has always been worried. It was fine when Jia Mu was here. Once Jia Mu goes, she is afraid that Jia She will find a way to drive him and his wife out of Rongguo Mansion.
Although the family property was divided in the hands of the old master, sometimes the world is unfair.
Jia She took the title, and once Jia's mother died, he would be the highest-ranking person in the Jia family. If he became unreasonable by then, it would be really difficult for the couple to deal with it.
Now that Jia She will die earlier than Jia Mu, this is a happy event from heaven.
Although the title will most likely still be in the hands of Dafang, at least, as elders, they have an advantage whether facing Jia Lian or Jia Cong.
However, when she saw that Jia Zheng was muddle along and had no plans for the future, she still reminded him:
"His uncle already had resentment, but it was only because the old lady was still here that he could not get angry.
If the old lady passes away in the future, I'm afraid her uncle won't let us go. "
Jia Zheng was no better than Mrs. Wang and could not tell lies with open eyes. He squinted at Mrs. Wang when he heard this.
I suspect you are joking. From the looks of it, I'm afraid that my brother's bones will be broken when the old lady goes away.
Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Zheng's gaze and continued: "Since his uncle has this idea, I'm afraid Lian'er may not have the same idea. I think Lian'er's mind has gradually matured recently, and he is willing to follow the example of his ancestors and go to the battlefield to gain fame.
If in the future, after he seizes the title, he is unwilling to live in Dongkua Courtyard and wants to come back to live here, what should we do, sir? "
Jia Zheng's eyes also became sad.
Although he is aloof and does not like to talk about benefits, he also knows that what Mrs. Wang said may not be impossible.
Thinking about it, if he were Jia Lian, he might not be willing to live in the side courtyard all the time.
"Well, we can only talk about it then. As an uncle, I have never treated him badly in these years. I think he will appreciate my kindness and will not openly fall out with me for this.
Even if the old lady passes away, when the time comes to be extremely difficult, we have no choice but to return some of the family property to her, and we can just buy another house. "
Speaking of these, Jia Zheng felt uncomfortable.
After all, he did not steal or rob this property, but relied on his performance when he was young. His parents gave it to him, and he has owned it for so many years. Naturally, he would be reluctant to give it back when he is old.
But he also knew that he could legitimately inherit the family property, such as houses, shops, and farms elsewhere, because these things could be born out of the title and were inherited by Jia Zheng from his parents.
There was only such a large and splendid Imperial Palace, and if he wanted a big house, he would have to give it to him.
In fact, Jia Zheng once even thought about simply packing up his family's property and moving out, giving the empty shell of Rongguo's palace to Jia She, and seeing how he could maintain the expenses of such a huge palace.
After all, he felt that this was too bad, and he couldn't do it just to watch his brother's jokes and ignore the Jia family's face.
He even thought to himself, it's not that I don't want to move out, but that my eldest brother is too prodigal, and if he takes over the family business, it won't be long before everything is ruined.
Look, isn’t there nothing left of the portion of the family property the old lady gave him?
Although Mrs. Wang also knew that they could live a good life even if they moved out of the Duke's Mansion. Even the old lady said that the friends in her house who belonged to her alone would all belong to Baoyu in the future...
No one knows better than Mrs. Wang how rich Jia Mu’s patronage is, which is even more than the current official treasury of Rongguo Mansion!
Therefore, no matter what, they will not live a miserable life.
However, people always look upward. After having been the head wife of the Duke's palace for more than ten years, how could she be willing to go out and be an ordinary official wife?
"I heard the master say that Lian'er now has a serious official status, and he is young. I'm afraid he can be promoted again in the future, and his future will be bright.
But as for Baoyu, his future is not yet settled, and he does not study hard like his elder brother. Do you think it is possible for Baoyu to take over the family title? "
Mrs. Wang tried her best to speak lightly, making it seem like she didn't pay much attention.
Titles and official positions are all official status, and they are also the foundation of a family like theirs.
For example, Jia Zheng, although he does not have a title, he has a serious official status and still has full status. He is not inferior to Jia She at all.
From what she meant, it was like two brothers. If one was successful, he could earn an official position by himself, but if the other was weaker, his parents would be partial and give the official position in the family to the weaker one.
But Jia Zheng still saw through his wife's evil intentions at a glance!
His face suddenly turned ugly and he scolded: "Don't say this is impossible, even if it can be done, I won't allow you to think about it!
If the word spreads, I, Jia Cunzhou, will no longer have to be a human being! "
Jia Zheng attached great importance to his reputation. Even if his father did not pass the title on to him, he was only disappointed for a while and then let it go.
In his heart, studying, obtaining fame, serving the emperor and father, and being famous for future generations are the right path.
Therefore, he forced his sons to study. Whether it was Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, or Jia Huan, his expectation for them was to make progress in their studies and to be able to pass the imperial examination and become officials in the future. valley
As for the title, it’s good to have it, but it’s nothing if not.
Those are shortcuts taken by people who are not motivated.
For example, Jia Lian in the past, just because he knew that he could inherit the title, he only regarded studying as a leisurely activity. He didn't need to take the imperial examination to become an official anyway. He just waited for the future to be rich and honorable like his father before he died.
Jia Zheng looked down upon such people.
Now Mrs. Wang actually wanted to persuade him to seize the title of Dafang in order to let his son Baoyu take a shortcut. Such words that offended his inner pride made him very angry.
"As for Baoyu, I have already decided his future. In the future, he can only take the imperial examination and become an official.
What kind of title can last forever?
The beauty of a gentleman will be cut down in five lifetimes. Only by passing down poems and books can it truly last forever.
Among the sages and prime ministers who assisted the country and the people in ancient times, who achieved great success through family inheritance?
Even if Baoyu fails to pass the imperial examination in the future, it can only be because you are too doting on him. He has no ability himself and has lived a life of poverty, so he cannot blame others.
Ask Lian'er to give up the title to Baoyu, luckily you can think of it. "
Jia Zheng scolded Mrs. Wang mercilessly.
Mrs. Wang had thought about this outcome before speaking, so she didn't care too much. Seeing that Jia Zheng's attitude was really firm, she didn't say much, ignored the matter, and asked about Xue Pan's lawsuit.
Whether his son is good or not needs to be compared. If he compares with Pan'er, Jia Zheng may be much satisfied with Baoyu.
…
In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen had to put aside her dirty thoughts and exempt the Qin family from Ding Province in order to avoid suspicion because of what was rumored in the manor a year ago.
But after all, he is not a person who can control his desires for a long time. Recently, seeing that Qin is becoming more and more charming, his heart is uncontrollably agitated, and he gradually strengthens his desire to please Qin.
He believed that as long as Ronger and Mrs. Qin were not allowed to be husband and wife, women would miss men once they were lonely for a long time.
Coupled with his sugar-coated bullets, it is possible to win the beauty back.
As for using force, he would naturally not think about it until the seduction failed. Besides, he didn't dare to use force.
Qin was designated as his great-grandson's daughter-in-law, but it was decided when his grandfather was still alive. At that time, Qin was just an infant.
He himself didn't know if those people behind Qin were still paying attention to Qin.
Therefore, what he said to threaten Jia Rong was also half true and half false.
As his actions became more and more explicit, he believed that as long as Qin was not stupid, everyone could see his thoughts. However, although Qin did not cater to him, she did not seem to mean to scold him, which made him secretly excited.
Just when he was about to take down his daughter-in-law in one go, he didn't know who deserved to be offended, but he wanted to offend the drunken Jiao Da instead.
There were still guests there that night, so Jiao Da started yelling and swearing in the Nanyuan. He asked Jia Rong to shock him, but Jiao Da turned around and scolded both his father and son.
"Those who are a bunch of unsatisfactory beasts, those who care about the ashes, those who care about the ashes, and those who raise the brother-in-law raise the brother-in-law." This famous saying was spread, and his face turned green at that time.
No sooner or later, at the critical moment, extinguish all his enthusiasm.
He felt as if there were a pair of eyes secretly staring at him, and seemed to be able to penetrate his thoughts!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? In anger, he sent Jiao Da to Zhuangzi in the south every few days.
In fact, he wanted to kill that old guy.
But he didn't dare. The reason was very simple. Jiao Da was his ancestor's personal soldier and had saved his ancestor's life!
When he didn't have any official position and only relied on the shadow of his ancestors to enjoy wealth, he didn't dare to bear the name of ungratefulness, so even though he hated him to death, he just sent him away from afar.
"By the way, foster brother-in-law, who is he scolding?"
Jia Zhen is still very sensitive and knows that it is him who is being scolded by "pa ash", but who is the adopted brother-in-law?
Jia Zhen did not doubt Youshi, because in his mind Youshi was very timid and would never dare to betray him.
Could it be the Qin family...
Jia Zhen thought it was very possible. After all, Qin made him feel more charming than You. Such a woman might not be able to bear the loneliness after getting married without being nourished by her husband.
He was very unhappy in his heart. Could it be that he was so busy that he made wedding clothes for others? It seems that I have to find an opportunity to give Qiang'er a good whipping, and then ask if it was Qiang'er who picked his fruit!
If Mrs. Qin had a brother-in-law, it would undoubtedly be Jia Qiang.
