Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Jia Jing and Jia She, two cousins, went to Jinling hand in hand to deal with the remaining members of the Twelve House clan in Jinling, as well as offering sacrifices to fields and other matters.

The two walked by water, Jia Jing was full of worries along the way, but Jia Amnesty seemed to have nothing to worry about.But whoever faces such a worried person every day will feel depressed and affected.

"Brother Jing, you can relax. This tree has a big branch, and it is impossible for the clansmen to hold together for thousands of years. From then on, there is nothing wrong with Jinling branch and Beijing branch."

Seeing that Jia Jing was always anxious and worried, Jia Amnesty could not help but comfort him.

"Hey, Enhou, if you don't become the patriarch, you don't know how sad I am."

Jia Jing let out a long sigh.

"Since I took over the responsibility of the patriarch, what I have to consider is how to grow and prosper the family. I don't have the idea of ​​dividing them out like this now. Others are willing to join the clan. Alas, I am dividing them all at once. After entering the twelfth room, I don’t know how to explain to my father and grandparents.”

"Brother Jing, if you are reluctant to give up their twelve houses, you might as well give up the Rong Mansion."

Jia Amnesty suggested nonchalantly, his eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Enhou, what did you say? You need to beat you up before you know what patriarchal clan is?"

Jia Jing slapped his face down.

Jia Amnesty was not happy either.

"Brother Jing, don't scare me. To tell you the truth, it's their own responsibility to separate out their twelve rooms. You have personally asked those people who were sent to Jinling to check. If you don't separate them out, it's up to them Will the sage be annoyed by the evil deeds of sneaking around and bullying men and women? How many years has Wu Shangshu followed the sage, and he can’t stand being reprimanded? Can you stand it? In the end, he won’t lose the Ningfu He will lose face in front of the courtiers if he has the title of honor."

What Jia Amnesty said left Jia Jing speechless, with a dejected look on his face, regretting that when he summoned those people sent to Jinling, he let the Rongguo Mansion father and son listen together.

"Losing the title of the Ning Mansion is the last thing you can't see your ancestors."

Jia She leisurely threw this sentence to Jia Jing, patted Jia Jing's shoulder, and said with all his heart: "Brother Jing, my brother thinks that Zhen'er is not like you can be admitted to Jinshi. You might as well take advantage of him Younger, let him take good care of his body. When he was 20 years old, he was thrown to the Northwest. After three or five years, he could return as a powerful general of the third rank and fifth rank. The power of the Ning Mansion in the army, if it is lost for another generation, I am afraid that I can't get it back."

"Oh, Enhou, you still have the idea of ​​a warrior. The world has been in peace for a long time, and the titles of the Ning Mansion and the Rong Mansion are good. After three or five generations, the titles are no longer eligible to go to court. Not only us, but also the lords who followed Tai/ancestors to conquer the world. In the end, there are only two families left: Zhenguo Gongfu and Liguo Gongfu. You don’t need to look at those with titles, they are all trash who can only receive money and can’t do anything. If they are given rights and let them be court directors, they will not succeed. The rest who can occupy a position in the court and have the final say are just There are only civil servants who passed the imperial examination. Don’t you think so?”

After Jia Jing said so much, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

"Instead of waiting until then, when the children and grandchildren have no way out, then seek changes, and then think about the imperial examinations. Haha, maybe you have to hire a master, but you can't hire a good one. It's time for the Ningguo Mansion to switch from Wu to Wen."

Jia Amnesty poured tea for Jia Jing, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Jing, I admit that what you said is reasonable. But if the Wu Xun family is all thinking like you, in less than a hundred years, there will be no more generals in the court who can command the army." .dont you agree?"

"Enhou, I'm just talking about the future of the Ning family's children, and I'm not the one." Jia Jing stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "I also think about whether there will be generals in the court who can command the army in a hundred years' time? You think too highly of your brother."

Jia Amnesty was choked by Jia Jing's blunt words, he seemed to have grasped a little reason why saints don't want to see their cousins.

"Enhou, your Hu'er is a good person, and he will definitely succeed in the imperial examination in the future. Your eldest nephew is growing up day by day. Tell your younger siblings about his marriage. I want to be in a scholarly family. Find it for him, so that the future grandchildren will be able to pass the imperial examination."

"Okay," Jia Amnesty replied sullenly.

The cousin's eyes are on three generations later, so there is nothing wrong with planning for his descendants.But from a sage's point of view, he would definitely not re-use an honorable man with such thoughts as his cousin.Even if the descendants pass the imperial examination, there is a certain number of seats above the third rank.

The two have different intentions, and neither can convince the other, and they have nowhere to go on the same boat, so they can only sit and drink tea silently or play chess to pass the time.The last time Jia Amnesty returned to Jinling to pay respects to his ancestors was when he had a son, and he bickered with Jia Zheng all the way back then, thinking about it, it seemed more interesting than it is now.

No wonder Jia Jing is not popular in the East Palace, because he has too many plans for himself and his descendants?Otherwise, how could the group of East Palace subordinates who fought with the courtiers to the death to reject him and advocate letting nature take its course, um, even the group who waited for the saint to ascend the throne naturally after a hundred years would ignore him?

It's really hard for him, the left concubine who holds a title and was born as a second-ranked Jinshi, to be unable to get along with nobles, and he can't get along with people who are clean in the imperial examination.

Jia Amnesty shook his head and sighed.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the water, through the half-closed windows on the ship's side, and projected onto Jia Shen's face.

Jia Amnesty put his hands behind his head, relaxed his body, and felt the gentle waves of the water.Thinking that it would be four or five years since I went to the border, and then set foot on the land of Jinling, but I accompanied the patriarch Jia Jing to do the division of the clan.

Ugh!

He understood that he was trying to persuade Jia Jing to give up, but in reality he was still unhappy.

My mother was right, the clansmen in Jinling have many houses and people, good and bad are mixed, and Ningrong and Rongfu are in the capital, so it is beyond their reach to restrain them.Those people have been accustomed to using the names of Ningrong and Rongfu for more than a hundred years, pretending to be powerful and harming their neighbors.They think that the laws of the royal law are all for show, and they won't do anything to them.When the accumulation is settled together, the Rongguo Mansion is not the patriarch, and it cannot escape.

Whether the prefect of Jinling indulged them because of Ningfu's face or Rongfu's face, none of the courtiers knew.

For their own father and son, the sage and the prince will look at the friendship of the companions, and they may let go of the Rongguo Mansion.

But the friendship with the royal family is also used a little, but a little less.

Besides, this friendship should also be used for descendants, for example, it would be good for brother Hu to inherit the marquis, how could it be used to exonerate those clansmen who committed crimes in Jinling? !

Yes, the friendship should be used for brother Hu to inherit the Marquis.This sentence from the mother moved the father, and made the father urge Brother Jing to divide the clan.

Jia Amnesty turned his back to the moonlight, looked at the cabin shrouded in moonlight in front of him, and a clear thought suddenly appeared in his mind——Mother has changed a lot!Compared with before I went to the Northwest, I am a different person.

Speaking of Northwest, Jia Amnesty recalled all the experiences that the husband and wife had had in the mansion before he went to Northwest, and the thought of indignation immediately overwhelmed all his rationality.

The mother has always favored the second brother, and in his opinion, what he loves is not the place.Martial arts practice despises hard work, so stop practicing.Who doesn't practice martial arts hard.snort!

He always praised his second brother for his good study, but he was in his 20s and didn't even pass the exam as a scholar.Disgraceful and lost at home.If the father hadn't been afraid that Shang Zhezi would make the second younger brother the heir apparent, and the courtiers would misunderstand that the sage wanted to change the prince, he would have already made the second younger brother the heir apparent during the years in the northwest.

Now, Jia Amnesty felt that his mother was not so partial to Jia Zheng when he established himself as the eldest son.

The father said that his mother urged him to submit the book about the matter of asking for the establishment of the eldest son, and he seized the sage to declare to the courtiers that he was determined to establish the eldest son.

The timing was perfect! .

Reason returns to Jia She

——When did mother become so sensitive to the government?My father never talked about these things with my mother before.Jia Amnesty couldn't figure it out, so it was her mother who figured it out.

Parents and children are orderly, is it mother who figured it out?Just seeing that everything in the mansion is in order; the second brother also knows that he has made progress.

If my mother could understand ten years earlier, my second brother would go to the border with me for three years, at least I could get a fifth-rank Qianhu to return to Beijing.

The boat swayed with the waves, and without knowing it, Jia She fell into a dream.Jia Jing, who was in the next cabin, stared at him without any sleepiness.

Enhou, Enhou, Jia Shede established a son, Chengjue is the Marquis.The Ning and Rong prefectures have always put the Ning mansion first, but it was broken when Tang Shu succeeded Rong Guogong in his place.

In the future, the gap between the two prefectures will widen, alas, what can be done.Zhen'er is an only child, it is impossible to let him join the army or send him to the border to take risks, so he can only seek a way out in the imperial examination.

Auntie Rongfu's little thoughts, that is to say, Jia She can't understand.

Jia Amnesty practiced martial arts and had to go to the border for five, eight or even ten years. If he couldn't come back, the title would fall to the second child.

Hmph, the most poisonous woman's heart.

Seeing that Enhou came back from the border, the title must be given to Enhou, so she encouraged her cousin to establish a son...that is, Jia She, a fool, still treats her as his own mother.

Whether to talk to Enhou, Jia Jing thought and thought, and finally let go of this idea. They are mothers and children, and they can't be close.Forget it, forget it.

If Jia Jing knew that the idea of ​​dividing the clan was from Jia Mu, he might not think so, hehe...

The two brothers Xiaoxing stayed overnight and soon arrived in Jinling.Calling all the heads of the Jia family to talk about the division of the clan immediately made those dignified clan elders lose their manners, and everyone understood what the division of the clan meant losing.Crying, making noise, and begging all became a mess.

What's more, according to their seniority, they scolded them as unworthy descendants.

"Brother Jing, although you are the official of the imperial court and the patriarch, you still have to listen to what your uncle said. Even if your father is alive, he still has to call me uncle, and you can't just divide the clan if you want to." What about Zong?"

The person who said this was the oldest elder in the Jia family, who will be 70 years old.

"People in the world have always regarded the prosperity of the descendants of the clan as their prosperity. Now that the clan is divided into separate clans, do you Ningrong and Rongfu look down on us common people?"

After all the clan elders had vented their anger, Jia Jingfang told all the illegal activities of the Jinling clansmen who had been collected by the servants sent to Jinling last time.

"It doesn't matter if you don't belong to the clan. Those who bully men and women and don't take the law seriously will be sent to the government for punishment. Then,"

Jia Jing looked at Jia She, who nodded encouragingly.

Jia Jing continued: "The Jia family is also a big and respectable family. They want to return the fertile land they have taken over, as well as the houses and shops they have taken over. Anyone who commits crimes must not stay in the family. If the reputation of the whole clan is ruined, I and my children will be expelled from the clan."
