The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 16 Zhongshan Wolf

Ningrong Street is still as busy as ever, with an endless stream of visitors, but the red silk on the chests of the stone lions in front of the door has been replaced by white paper flowers.

The smiles on the faces of the guests inside also disappeared, and they all had sad expressions on their faces, as if they were wearing facial makeup from a drama.

The day before, the Rongguo Mansion was dressed in red and green, and it was full of joy and was still holding weddings. But the next day, white things followed.

Really everything is impermanent!

Ordinary people's parents die, and their family members are just a little sad, lamenting that birth, old age, illness and death are natural.

However, the generous family is different. When an elder dies, the family is like a mountain falling apart. Their intuition is gone and they don’t know where the future will be.

No, after sending Jia Jing back to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Dai did not go with him to see Jia Daihua, but went to Rongguo Mansion in the west.

At this time, Jia Daishan's body had been wrapped up and temporarily rested in Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner.

There is a mourning hall in the main hall of Rongxi Hall, where princes, ministers, relatives and friends can express their condolences.
There were forty-nine monks and Taoist priests inside and outside the house, shaking the magic weapons in their hands and chanting words to save the souls of the dead.

Jia Dai straightened his clothes, looked solemn, took the incense offered by the boy, and bowed respectfully three times.
Then he turned around and bowed to the brothers Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Min who were kneeling in front of the soul, expressing their friendship with each other.

I have met Jia Daishan several times and takes good care of him as a junior. It's a pity that the year never ends!

If it weren't for Jia She's promise to dethrone the prince - not to reduce the hereditary title of Rongguo Mansion and betroth the eldest princess to him as a house filler,
Otherwise, Jia Daishan would not have died of anger on his sick bed!
Jia Dai sighed and looked at the three anxious Jia She brothers and sisters. He didn't know how to comfort them. Everything will pass!
After the two backers of the Jia family passed away, they entered a trough. The imperial court would no longer pursue Ning Rong and his second family. As long as they lived their lives behind closed doors and did not seek death, they would not die.

However, Jia Dai was a junior of the Yu family and was young. Although he served as the commander of the Yanshan avant-garde in the Beijing camp, his official position was only controlled by Ning Rong's second government.

All said and done, in the eyes of others, Jia Dai is also in the glory of the ancestors of the Jia family, and he has no real ability.

These great principles cannot come out of his mouth no matter what. Jia Dai could only say a few polite words, saying that Jia Daihua still had something to say, so he returned to Ningguo Mansion in the east.

After this delay, it was already the time to turn on the lanterns. Thousands of houses were lit with bright lights. There was no joy on the faces of the pedestrians coming and going, and the whole atmosphere was very depressing.

It seems out of place with the return of spring to the earth and the revival of all things. It seems that Jia Dai has come to the wrong place.

The Ningde Hall was quiet, with only the pale lanterns fluttering alone in the cold wind, making people panic.

At this time, Jia Jing walked out of the room and closed the door. His eyes were filled with energy again, and his rickety spine straightened up again.
Turning around and seeing Jia Dai, Jia Jing's thin face was startled for a moment, then showed disdain. His eyes were cold and pale, and he looked like he wanted to eat Jia Dai. He shouted in a low voice:
"Shuzi, what are you doing here? You know that everyone in Xifu is very busy, but you don't know how to help take care of it!"

"Don't even think about it. Without the care of the Duke, where would you be today?"

"Humph! It's true that raising you is in vain..."

With Jia Daihua's explanation and promise, and knowing the contents of the deal between Ning Rong and Wang Ziteng, Jia Jing felt that nothing had happened. Emperor Taikang would not dare to be too involved. As long as he was alive, he would have a chance to make a comeback!

There is a saying: The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof. Just now, Jia Jing took back the position of future clan leader, but the title that was easily available to him was gone. When he saw Jia Dai, he was still furious.

Feeling that everything was the fault of the person in front of him, he relied on his status as elder and future clan leader to lecture Jia Dai and undermine his prestige.

The huge Ningguo Mansion has more than tens of millions of assets, so we can't let this bastard get away with it in vain. This is our own family property, and it will belong to Zhen'er from now on. No one can take it away from him, not even Emperor Taikang!

This time, the Dog Emperor is very lucky. There is the Taishang Emperor and Yizhong County Prince (Xu Changguo, the youngest son of the deposed prince). The merit of Conglong belongs to him, Jia Jing.

The Jinling Jia family will surely become great again in his hands!
