After Li Miao settled the matter, he repeatedly informed Jia She that his situation was not as pessimistic as imagined. As long as the emperor is not allowed to find any excuses, given the current situation, Jia She will have no problem living in peace for a few years. Don't seek death, you have to clean up some of the beginnings and ends.
Jia She still believed in the words of Li Miao, his son-in-law. Li Miao has outstanding abilities, and he has nothing to say about Jia She. In recent years, he has given Jia She a lot of money. So, he told Li Miao about Ping'an Prefecture.
Jia She's dealings with foreign races through Ping'an Prefecture is no small matter. There is suspicion of supporting the enemy. In the original world of Red Mansions, Jia She, as the main culprit, was dismissed from his post and sent to the platform to atone for his crimes on the charge of "trafficating with foreign officials, relying on power to bully the weak, betraying my kindness, and showing disloyalty to his ancestors."
Today's Dazheng Dynasty is suffering from foreign invasions. Trading salt and iron with the steppe Tatars is more than just a "traffic diplomat". It is very likely that he will be accused of supporting the enemy. Fortunately, these all happened several years ago. At that time, the steppe Tatars had not yet invaded the Zheng Dynasty.
So Li Miao arranged for Wang Ronggui to help Jia She handle the beginning and end. Jia She was also relieved and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. My gratitude to Li Miao comes from the bottom of my heart. I feel that I was really wrong in arranging Jia Yingchun's affairs in the first place.
Li Miao had no choice. He is deeply involved with Rong Ning's second house, and the cause and effect are intertwined. Helping Jia She is also equivalent to helping yourself. As Jia She's father-in-law, it is impossible for Li Miao to ignore death. However, Li Miao repeatedly warned Jia She afterward.
"It won't happen next time, just this once." Let Jia She do it well. After all, Li Miao couldn't always wipe his ass. Jia She also repeatedly promised that he would never cause trouble to Li Miao in the future.
As the inheritor of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She's life was miserable. His title was only due to the emperor's prank. All because he had befriended the former prince. Now Jia She has no choice but to eat and wait for death.
Jia She was actually quite wealthy, and all of his grandmother's property was left to her. His grandmother was the wife of the Duke of Rongguo during the period when the Rongguo Mansion was prosperous, and her wealth was even worse than that of Mrs. Shi.
Jia She grew up next to his grandmother, so he was not close to Mrs. Shi. The old lady prefers her second son Jia Zheng who grew up by her side. Coupled with the emperor's attitude, Jia She's current embarrassing situation is destined.
However, Jia She has been obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting in recent years. A lot of money was spent on this. As for women, although Jia She is lustful, she can't spend a lot of money. In fact, Jia She has not lost money in antique investment over the years.
It's just that Jia She was obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting. They only buy but don't sell, so they often have money shortages. In other words, Jia She is actually very wealthy now. It’s just that most of the assets have become antique calligraphy and paintings.
Li Miao has been really kind to Jia She over the years, and he has always shown filial piety during every year and festival. And most of them are affordable banknotes. Jia She was also truly grateful, especially this time, Li Miao helped him deal with the beginning and end of Ping'an Province, and helped him get the fan he couldn't put down.
Jia She also knew that Li Miao was lustful, so he proposed to give his concubine Qiutong to him. Of course Li Miao refused. I remember that in the original world of Red Mansions, Qiutong was given to Jia Lian by Jia She. This also caused Second Sister You to fall out of favor. One of the main reasons for the final tragedy.
Li Miao became very interested in Jia Huan at the banquet. So, Jia Huan was tested during the dinner.
Jia Huan is Jia Zheng's only concubine, and Jia Zheng's only legitimate son is Jia Baoyu. As the concubine of Jia Zheng, the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion. It stands to reason that Jia Huan's status in Rongguo Mansion should not be low. But this is not the case.
As Jia Zheng's concubine, Jia Huan is also the most threatening person to Jia Baoyu. Although his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was deeply loved by Jia Zheng. But it made Mrs. Wang more wary of Jia Huan.
Mrs. Wang, as the head wife of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan has been belittled by her aunt since she was a child. He wanted to raise Jia Huan, the bastard who was a threat to Jia Baoyu, crooked.
Although Aunt Zhao, the biological mother, was favored by Jia Zheng, she had no good solution to Jia Huan. That is, grumbling in secret. If you are really anxious, you will also curse. The masters and servants of Rongguo Mansion are also good at what they do above, but they must be very good below.
Therefore, Jia Huan's situation in Rongguo Mansion is worrying. Sometimes my life is worse than that of a servant. As Jia Huan grew up slowly, he gradually developed a tolerant personality. Everything develops according to the trajectory designed for him by his aunt, Mrs. Wang.
Jia Huan, who is not young at all, finally got the chance to change his destiny. He has always envied Jia Lan for being able to study literature and martial arts in the Li Mansion. Now Li Miao comes forward to test his effectiveness. This is undoubtedly Jia Huan's last chance.
Jia Huan knew Li Miao's current importance in Rongguo Mansion, and he had this brother-in-law to help him. Even Mr. Shi will give you enough face. Jia Huan knew his chance had come. If he can pass Li Miao's assessment, he can stay in Li Mansion to study like Jia Lan.
So, Jia Huan stood up from the table and bowed deeply to Li Miao. Where is the previous wretched appearance? Li Miao was also stunned. Although he had observed Jia Huan before, he just felt that Jia Huan might be hiding his clumsiness. But seeing Jia Huan's reaction at this time, Li Miao understood.
Li Miao cares about Jia Huan for two reasons. On the one hand, it was because for Jia Tanchun's sake, Jia Huan was Jia Tanchun's half-brother after all, so he had to help if he could. In this way, at least there is an explanation for Jia Tanchun.
Another reason is that the current Yin and Yang in Rongning's second house are declining. Even if the current difficulties are temporarily overcome, we will end up in a situation where there will be no successors. Even if Jialan can be on his own in the future. Don’t you also need someone to help?
Ningguo Mansion has a small population, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have developed the habit of eating together and waiting to die. Let’s not mention it for now. There are many people in Rongguo Mansion, and the serious masters are similar to those in Ningguo Mansion. If Jia Huan is a talent that can be made, Li Miao will definitely spare no effort to cultivate him.
If Jia Huan had been raised crooked for a long time, Li Miao would have treated him kindly. But we will never waste energy, and it is still necessary to provide some support. At least let him live a more comfortable life, not as miserable as he is now.
But now Li Miao has to look at Jia Huan with admiration. It's not that Jia Huan is amazingly talented. Jia Huan is destined to not have much talent in such an environment. How much literary talent can you have if you study in Jia's private school all day long?
What Li Miao likes about Jia Huan is his forbearance and hiding his clumsiness. This is not a quality that just anyone can possess. It must go through long-term training. And many people will only become more decadent in this environment. Situations like Jia Huan's are probably rare.
Li Miao was also overjoyed, an unexpected surprise. "Brother Huan, if you want, you can come to my study at any time to read." Li Miao didn't waste any time and directly gave Jia Huan the highest treatment. Li Miao's study is an important place, and how many people can enjoy this kind of treatment.
So far, only Li Shi and Jia Lan have this kind of treatment. How could Jia Huan not be so excited? It took him a while to react, "Brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law."
Jia Huan knew that Li Miao had a special status in Rongguo Mansion. Since this time Li Miao spoke in front of everyone at the banquet. From now on, it will become justifiable for me to go to Li Mansion by myself. No one will stop me.
Li Miao was overly excited to see Jia Huan. Just getting the invitation from Li Miao made me feel like I was soaring into the sky. Where is this? The current collection of books in Li Miao's study is nothing else. As far as books on imperial examinations are concerned, few aristocratic families can compare.
The efforts of generations of those aristocratic families are not as large as the collection of books in his study. Not to mention there are other miscellaneous books in the study. Books in this era are not open to others casually. Even my brother-in-law is the same.
"Brother Huan, it's not that easy to read through the books in my study. Even if you can digest the imperial examination books to the letter, you won't be able to get the title of Jinshi." Is Li Miao trying to wake up Jia Huan? The key still depends on you. future efforts.
Jia Huan still doesn't understand what Li Miao means. It turns out that Jia Lan is his target, and Jia Huan will be satisfied if he can become a scholar. Now it seems that scholars are not enough. At this time, Jia Huan was full of gratitude to Li Miao.
From now on, when Jia Huan goes to Li Mansion to study, he no longer has to worry about this or taboo about that. Study hard and strive to gain fame as soon as possible. Jia Huan bowed to the ground, full of sincerity. "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Li Miao looked at Jia Huan with a smile and accepted Jia Huan's full courtesy. He said in his heart, I am really your brother-in-law, even receiving a courtesy from you is not an exaggeration. I just want to let Jia Tanchun of Datianzhuang know. I don’t know how happy he will be.
Jia Baoyu on the side couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw it. But then he was relieved. Even if he was asked to study in Li Miao, Jia Baoyu would not be happy. Besides, it’s not like I’ve never been there before, it’s really boring.
Jia Baoyu is still innocent. I didn't expect that Jia Huan would pose any threat to me in the future. It should be said that Jia Baoyu was a kind-hearted person, but he was crippled by Mrs. Shi.
At this time, everyone else at the table began to think deeply. Even Jia Zhen, Jia She and others were sober. Everyone also knows that Jia Huan will be different in the future if he is appreciated by Li Miao. Seeing Jia Huan change his previous wretched appearance again, I felt happy.
In recent years, Rongning and Ningfu have been short of talents, and Jialan is the only one. It's a slight improvement. If Jia Huan can also become a talented person, it will always be a good thing for the Jia family.
Maybe Mrs. Wang, who was worshiping Buddha in the back hall, wouldn't think so. But now that Li Miao has come forward, even Mrs. Wang is now the housekeeper, and there is nothing she can do.
