The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 19 Dongfu Story
In the first year of Taikang, in early March, Jia Daishan passed away.
In mid-June, Jia Daihua died of illness.

There are thousands of slaves and masters in the east and west houses of the Jia family, all of whom are like mourning concubines.

With a sad face, he finished the funeral arrangements for the two important figures of the Jia family.

It was already late October in the dead of winter when I was sent to the Jia family temple in the west of the city - Tiekuan Temple.

The cold wind in the north is howling, and the wintersweet branches are beginning to unfold, giving birth to new life.

The transition of power in the Jia family was also like this. It was covered up by the vigorous white for half a year. It was full of gunpowder and the explosion was particularly strong.

Many melon-eaters in Shenjing are looking forward to it, all waiting to see the joke.

Let’s talk about the Ningguo Mansion first. When arranging for future generations, Jia Daihua was in charge. Jia Dai was clearly adopted to his eldest son Jia Fu, and his title was justified.
However, Jia Jing is his son after all, and has been trained as his heir for more than thirty years.
Now, having participated in the mutiny against the deposed prince, his political future has been ruined.

However, how could Jia Daihua be willing to give up on Jia Jing like this?

Through the help of Dai Quan, the old minister who was close to the Jia family, I learned that the Emperor's rapid recovery was all because of the elixir donated by Liu Zhaoyi.
Therefore, the Supreme Emperor has been a little obsessed with Taoism recently, and often invites Taoist priests from Xuanzhen Temple to discuss the art of immortality in Shoukang Palace.

Jia Daihua and his son discussed it and decided that Jia Dai was young and could not shoulder the important responsibilities of the clan.

The Jinling Jia family's family property and the position of patriarch fell into the hands of Jia Jing, the second eldest brother of Ningguo Mansion.

With the financial resources and connections of the Jia clan, Jia Jing was already well-educated and often wandered around Xuanzhen Temple. With the favor of the Supreme Emperor, it was only a matter of time before he rose to prominence again.

Undoubtedly, it was only Jia Dai who suffered.

The good Ningguo Mansion was inexplicably transformed by Jia Dai and was artificially split in two.

The ancestral hall in the west is near Linjingtang, and was given to Jia Jing and his son to live in and take care of their ancestral property.

What a bastard!

Unprecedented in the ages!

Is there any reason to only inherit the title and not inherit the ancestral property?

Here in Jia Dai, it is the first of its kind!
How many people in Shenjing are laughing at him!
However, the word "filial piety" is overwhelming, and who dares to disobey Jia Daihua's order?
As a matter of fact, his mother Xue was weak by nature and controlled by others.

Jia Jing used this as a threat. As a grandson and son, how could Jia Dai refuse to obey? In order to prevent Jia Dai and Jia Jing from confronting each other and causing the Ningguo Mansion to fall apart,

Jia Daihua made the decision and ordered the widowed Jia Jing not to marry another person to fill her house.

Directly straighten the good concubine Xue,
In this way, Xue's daughter, Jia Xichun, is nominally the same biological brother and sister as Jia Zhen.
The Xue family is in charge of the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, which serves as the link between the eldest and second bedrooms of Ningguo Mansion.

As long as she is around, Jia Jing and Jia Dai will be able to live in peace.

Don't let "father" and son kill each other, and brothers will fight against each other. Jia Daihua's good intentions can be seen in general.

However, the flames of the power struggle have been laid. How can he, a deceased person, control it.

Besides, this Xue family was thirty-six years old. She gave birth to Jia Xichun five years ago, and she was still young. She was the sister of Xue Maode and Xue Maocai of the Xue family in Jinling after Ziwei's family member Xue Gong.

In the second year after she got her hairpin, her father gave Jia Jing, who was named on the gold list, as a concubine in the hope that the Jia family would give more support to the declining Xue family.

However, Jia Jing was born into a wealthy family, achieved success at a young age, and had great ambitions. He did not pay attention to the Xue family, which had degenerated into a merchant family. He had no choice but to do so because he could not disobey his father's orders.

After the death of his wife Zhen three years ago, Jia Jing thought of renewing his relationship with the Zhen family in Jinling and marrying his young and beautiful sister-in-law, Zhen Tanqin, as his stepmother.

Helpless, God does not follow people's wishes.

Because Xu Dehui was dethroned as the crown prince, Jia Jing's future as an official of the East Palace was bleak. Although the Zhen family had not been around in Shenjing for a long time, Concubine Zhen was still in the palace.

How could I not know Jia Jing's intentions? She just wanted to use Concubine Zhen's power to blow the pillow wind in the ears of the Supreme Emperor, so that the east wind would come again!

The Zhen family has already given up an innocent daughter to the Ningguo Mansion, how can they send another one into the tiger's mouth?

At the beginning of this year,
When Shui Rong's filial piety period expired, he received the imperial decree and obtained the title of county king. He served as the governor of the former military governor's mansion.
The one I married was Zhen Tanqin. The two played the piano and played the piano in harmony, and the husband sang and the wife accompanied them. They were truly a couple of gods and immortals!

From then on, Jia Jing's dream of flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix was shattered, and it became a big regret in his heart.

Now, Jia Jing is helping the Xue family to fill a house. How does Jia Jing feel about it?
