The night is not quiet when the wind blows, and people's hearts are speechless.
Capital City, Ningrong Street, Rongguo Palace.
Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others gathered in Ronxi Hall again. It has been seven or eight days since Jia Chu was awarded the title of Champion Hou last time, but he has never seen the Daming Palace. Coming to the two mansions to convey the decree made them realize something was wrong.
So several heads of the Jia family gathered together again to discuss the matter.
When everyone was seated, Jia Zhen was the first to speak, "Old lady, it's been a while since Brother Xing was granted the title of Marquis. Now there is no movement at all in the Daming Palace. What should we do?"
When Jia She heard the words, he glanced at the old lady, his eyes flashed twice, and then he retracted into his chair and remained silent.
Last time, Emperor Taikang called him over and beat him, which almost scared him to death. He didn't want to ask any more about this matter, so just let him go!
Jia Zheng took a sip of tea, looked at Jia Zhen, then looked at Jia Mu, and said, "Could it be that he is not ready yet? After all, he is not an ordinary marquis. I heard that when his ancestor was granted the title, Was there any movement after a month?"
Mother Jia sat on the chair, her face gloomy and uncertain. The thing Jia Zheng said was certainly good, but it was at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the war, everything was not on track. Let alone a month's delay, even if it was a delay. Two months was very normal.
But today is different from the past. Now that Dakang is on the right track, there should be news about the reward. But now there is no news at all, which is unusual.
Jia Lian didn't know what he was thinking of, and said from the side: "Old lady, father, second master, I thought of something, I don't know whether I should say it~"
Jia Mu saw that Jia Lian seemed to have guessed something, so she said, "If there is anything you should or shouldn't do, you monkey, why don't you tell me quickly!"
Jia Zhen, who was on the side, also smiled and said: "Brother, don't be too formal. Today we got together just to discuss and come up with a result. You can speak freely. The old lady, the eldest master, and the second master will not blame you."
Jia Lian first looked at Jia Mu and then at his father. Seeing that he had no objection, he continued: "Is it because Brother Xian is not here that there is no movement in the Daming Palace?" None~"
Hearing this, Jia Mu pondered, and everyone else also looked thoughtful. Not to mention, what Jia Lian said was very reasonable. Now that no one is here, who is going to award this imperial edict? Jia Qi didn't have a family, his father and mother were gone, and Emperor Ming Kang never asked about Jia Qi's identity since the first time, which made them uncomfortable.
At this moment, Jia Rong couldn't help but said: "Father, there is something I don't know~"
Seeing that Jia Rong was hesitant to speak, Jia Zhen was not as kind as before, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate. How can you look like a man? This is how I teach you on weekdays?"
Hearing Jia Zhen's scolding, Jia Rong secretly laughed in his heart. He didn't know who it was before, but he was still crying here! Now he actually has the nerve to talk about himself. Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud. He knew very well what kind of temper Jia Zhen had. If he knew that he was scolding him, he would be slapped with a big ear. light.
Jia Rong smiled awkwardly and replied: "What my father taught me was that my son knew he was wrong!"
Then Jia Rong continued: "Old lady, eldest master, second master, could it be because of the genealogy, or because brother Qi's title is too high, the saint plans to let Jia Qi reestablish his lineage, after all, it is A rare champion in ancient times~"
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened. Mother Jia looked at Jia Rong who was attacking Jia Zhen. A strange color flashed in her eyes. The movements of Jia She and Jia Zheng's hands were stagnant, and they also looked at Jia Rong with some surprise. They I have been immersed in the fact that a promising brother from the two houses has earned extraordinary achievements and may be able to regain the glory of the two houses. However, they have forgotten one very important thing. Jia Qi has already appeared. Three services, and the credit is so great that it is almost the same as the credit made by the two princes at the founding of the country. In this case, it is really hard to say.
Then who will be the patriarch of the Jia family? Jia Zhen is now just a powerful general with a hereditary rank of third rank. There is a huge gap between her and Jia Qi in terms of title, let alone merit. Who will be embarrassed when Jia Qi returns?
There was a trace of suspicion in Jia She's eyes. How could this seemingly indifferent boy think of this? Really, people cannot be judged by their appearance!
In fact, Jia Rong thought of this when she was playing with the maid on the bed in Dongfu. She overheard a sentence saying that Jia Zhen was very optimistic about Jia Qiang of Dongfu and would not be able to adopt him in the future and let him be the boss. The man who raided the palace.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Jia Rong attaches great importance to the title of Dongfu, and the position of the patriarch of the Jia family, even more so. He will never allow others to get involved. After a hundred years of Jia Zhen, this can be It's his.
After that, he became particularly concerned about Jia Qi's affairs. If this person comes back and joins the Dong Mansion, who will be the person in charge of the Jia Mansion and the position of clan leader? It’s hard to say.
Jia Rong is concerned about the title, and Jia Zhen is even more so. Now that Jia Rong has said this, Jia Zhen can naturally think of another meaning. If Jia Qi returns and is divided into two houses, her position as the patriarch will really be may be deprived of it.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and nodded, "Rong'er is right. It's true that this matter can't be solved. Brother Xing comes from the branch of Ning Guogong and has made such great contributions. It’s not good to let him return to the two houses again! It’s a difficult question whether the East House should be dominated by direct lineage or his lineage!"
Jia Mu was a little silent. If she established another lineage, she would have little to do with the two houses. This would not be good news for the two houses. Unintentionally, she saw that she had not said a word from the beginning. The eldest son was a little suspicious. He, the eldest son, has always been very interested in these things. Why was he silent today? So she asked aloud: "She'er, what do you think about this matter?"
Hearing Jia Mu's question, Jia She was slightly startled. He never expected that Jia Mu would ask him. After a moment of silence, Jia She said, "The thunder and rain are all due to your kindness. What happens exactly depends on the Holy One's will. No matter how much we think about it, what will it do?"
When Jia Mu and others heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Jia She's words hit the mark, and everyone in the room fell silent. This is really what happened.
If Emperor Mingkang insists on forcing people back, they can't refute. Even if they establish a new lineage, they can't resist the decree. The thunder and rain are all your kindness!
After a while, Jia Zhen said, "Why don't I go out and walk around tomorrow to find out what the palace means?"
Jia Mu hesitated for a moment, sighed slightly, and continued: "Tomorrow I will also go to the palace to visit the old concubine Zhen, and meet the girl Yuanchun by the way to see if I can get some news, but Brother Qi will always He is a person who came out of the two mansions. Even if he establishes another lineage, it is still a matter of honoring the ancestors. When the two mansions have troubles, he can still stand by and watch~"
When Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others heard this, they all nodded, especially Jia Zhen, who couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but was not as enthusiastic about letting Jia Qi return to the East Mansion.
After all, no matter how great the credit is, how much he can get, and he may even lose his position as the clan leader. He will not do such an uneconomical deal. After all, he is a blood relative. As Jia Mu said, if something goes wrong in the two houses, he Could it be possible that he really stood by and watched? When the time comes, those outside who poke his spine will be able to poke him to death.
It's a pity that the head of the Jia family has not met Jia Qi, otherwise he would not have such thoughts. Of course, the same goes for everyone else here, but things in this world are unpredictable, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future!
Seeing Jia Zhen's appearance, Jia She's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. He understood Jia Zhen's thoughts very well. To be honest, Jia Chun might not necessarily appreciate the position of a clan leader and a third-grade title.
If Jia Qi can return to the two mansions, the two mansions will definitely be able to revive. But looking at the current situation, the possibility of this is not great. However, Jia Zhen is complacent. With such a person serving as the patriarch of the Jia family, he also What can be said.
Thinking of what Emperor Taikang had said to him last time, Jia She couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
"Is Jia Qi's title of Marquis a blessing or a curse for the two governments?"
