The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 238 cynicism
After reaching a consensus, Jia Amnesty saw Jia Lian's smug look, and couldn't help feeling angry, and Dang Shi lashed out, "Don't be too happy, I'm your father, there are some things we can discuss, But don't forget that there is a big mountain in the house!"

Jia Lian was a little dumbfounded, and when Jia She saw this, he sneered and sneered, "In the past, it was reasonable for the second child to live in the mansion. After all, he and I are brothers, but when you become a prince, he will live in the nephew's mansion." Come on. Hey, you think the old lady would be happy?"

Now, Jia Lian is willing to go all out, "Even if the old lady is not happy, what can she do, can she let the court take back her life?"

"You, don't think that the old lady is so easy to deal with. She is really easy to talk to. I have already kicked out the second bedroom family. How can I wait until today? So, you are going to push her into a hurry. She can really do it for the old lady. The Er family, go to beat the Dengwen drum. No matter what the result is, your reputation will be ruined. How can you go out to be an official? Our Dachu governs the country with filial piety."

Jia Lian thought about it, but couldn't think of any good way, so he had to ask Jia Amnesty for advice sincerely.Seeing his son succumbing to himself, Jia She said with satisfaction, "If you want me to help you, you can add another five thousand taels of silver to me every year from now on!"

"No, at most one thousand taels. In the worst case, I will continue to maintain the status quo. Anyway, the old lady can't survive me."

Seeing Jia Lian's resoluteness, Jia Amnesty thought about it for a while, and thought that it would be good to squeeze out a thousand taels of silver, and then waved his hand, "Go away, when the old lady troubles you, I will tell her what I have to say!"

The day after Jia Amnesty handed over the pleading paper, an eunuch from the palace came to Rongguo Mansion to deliver the decree.Upon hearing the news, apart from Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, who knew the inside story, all the servants of the Jia family, including Mrs. Wang who was under house arrest, knelt in front of Rongxi Hall anxiously waiting for orders.

When the eunuch finished reading the decree in frustration, Jia Lian, who had been prepared for a long time, was overjoyed when he heard that he really won the title without demotion.However, in order to prevent Jiamu and the others from seeing anything strange, he had no choice but to accept the imperial decree in feigned surprise, and then gave silver notes to the eunuchs who delivered the decree, and then graciously sent them to the gate before returning to the mansion.As soon as I walked to Yimen, I saw Yuanyang waiting there, and said as soon as I saw him, "Second master, the old lady is here!"

Jia Lian had expected this for a long time, but he didn't panic. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't the old lady say what happened? I'm still busy enshrining the imperial decree in the ancestral hall!"

"Second Master, don't pretend. You can't think of what the old lady is doing. You should hurry up. I think this meeting will be very troublesome." Yuanyang replied speechlessly, urging Jia Lian not to dawdle. .

When Jia Lian heard the words, she had to shut up in embarrassment, and walked quickly to Rongqing Hall with Yuanyang.As soon as the two arrived in the courtyard, they heard Jia's mother yelling and cursing from inside. Jia Lian paused, thinking that this matter could not be avoided after all, so he bit the bullet and walked into the room.

Seeing that the rightful lord was coming, Jia's mother immediately turned her back on her and shouted to Jia Lian, "Lian'er, do you have the details of today's affairs in advance?"

"Old lady, which character am I? Who dares to tell me such a big thing in advance?"

Mother Jia refused to believe a word of Jia Lian's complaint, "Stop fooling me with your father. If you didn't know in advance, why did the imperial decree prevent you from being demoted to the rank of knight?"

Jia Lian explained, "It's clearly stated in the imperial decree that your Majesty owes his great-grandfather and grandfather the credit, that's why he bestowed this kind of grace..."

"Come on, I don't know the way to look at the old woman. If no one speaks for you, the emperor will think of this. If so, your father won't just be a first-class general back then?"

"If the old lady is dissatisfied, she can go to the emperor to discuss it?" Jia Amnesty was not happy when he was stripped of his title, but seeing Jia's mother still so recalcitrant at this moment, how could he bear it.

"You... You still have the nerve to speak, it's because of you, an unfilial son, that our family got this field."

"It's my fault, but it's a blessing in disguise. Anyway, my title will be passed on to Lian'er sooner or later. Isn't it a great thing for him not to be demoted to the title? When my grandson inherits the title, At least you can get a third-class general."

As soon as Jia She said this, Mother Jia was blocked and didn't know how to speak. She couldn't say that this title should be passed on to the second wife, especially Jia Baoyu, right?Although since Jia Lian became an official, Jia's mother knew that Jia Baoyu was probably not destined for this title, but she always had a little fantasy in her heart, and now she has no last hope, so how can she be reconciled.

"Although what the old man said is good, but no matter what, such a big matter, you should tell the old lady in advance, otherwise it would be too unfilial!" Mrs. Wang said suddenly, and she wanted to give Jia amnesty as soon as she came up. The father and son were charged with unfilial piety.

"The men of our Jia family talk, what's the matter with you, a sinful woman?" Jia She was not used to her, not only scolded back, but also fired at Jia Zheng, "Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. Second child, will you continue to live in your nephew's house in the future?"

Jia Zheng was so ashamed by these words that he hurriedly asked Mother Jia for instructions, "Mother, my son should move out, but I can't greet you every day in the future, and please forgive my son's unfilial piety!"

The reason why Jia Mu was so angry today was probably because of this reason. Seeing that the eldest brother really brought it up and forced the second child to move out of the house, she immediately became angry and didn't bother to appease Jia Zheng. He yelled at Jia She, "I'm not dead yet, why did I become Lian'er's mansion, are you going to drive me away too?"

"Well, I'm not arguing with you! Right and wrong, we have our own opinions. In the future, some guests will come to our door, just to let them see the strange things about our house. Xie Jue's nephew lives in Jialong, but his uncle lives next to the main hall. In the courtyard, tsk tsk!" Jia She said leisurely, crossing his legs.

Mother Jia had no choice but to put pressure on Jia Lian, "Lian'er, what do you say, do you want to follow your bastard father and drive your uncle's family out of the house? If so, then I Also move away, don't stay here to obstruct your eyes."

Jia Lian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a faint smile, "What is the old lady saying, you are the ancestor of our family, whoever dares to drive you out, grandson will be the first to agree .As for the second uncle, it's all up to you!"

"Well, this is like a family talking, much better than your old man!" Jia Mu achieved her goal and stopped making trouble.

Jia Amnesty pretended not to hear Jia Mu's sarcasm, he got up and came to Jia Lian, and reprimanded him, "You ignorant bastard, why do you still carry the imperial decree in your arms, why don't you go to the ancestral hall as soon as possible, and be a man and an official?" You must understand the court etiquette, so as not to let people talk about it!" As he spoke, he took Jia Lian to the outside, and when he passed by Jia Zheng, he did not forget to say, "Second brother, you are right when you say that you are a brother. Don't forget etiquette!"

Seeing their father and son leaving, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng hurriedly followed.When only Jia Mu and the second room were left in the room, Jia Zheng said with a wry smile, "Mother, you heard what my elder brother said when he left, I'd better move out, otherwise how can my son behave under the pressure of public opinion?" ?”

Mother Jia patted the soft couch bitterly, "What sin did I do? Why did I give birth to a scoundrel?" After scolding Jia Amnesty, she thought for a while, and she was unwilling to marry Jia Zheng. When they were separated, they compromised and said, "You go to live in Lixiangyuan like Rongxitang, and let Baoyu live with me in Rongqingtang."

Mrs. Wang was anxious, "Mom, Lixiangyuan is so small, we can't fit in one room!"

"Hmph, do you think I'm a stupid woman like you? Can't you think of this? I've been prepared for a long time. There is a three-way mansion on the street behind, and it is separated from Lixiangyuan by an alley. The nearby clansmen have moved away, and it is enough to open up that house and Pear Fragrance Court.”
