The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 23 Seizing the legitimate son
Jia Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Jia Mu using her trump card, and knew that this was not the time to be humble, otherwise, the cooked duck would fly away.

I saw that Jia Zheng's cheeks were red with excitement, and he became much more courageous. His tongue was not tied, and he was already talking. He didn't give Jia She a chance to defend, and directly interrupted his words. Following Jia Mu's words, he added He lit up a fierce fire and said:
"Brother, since these are father's last words, we as sons should abide by them. How can we disobey our parents because of personal affairs?"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Jia Zhengxin raised his voice and clenched his fists behind his back, fearing that Jia She would say "no".
"My eldest brother will definitely disdain to do such unfilial things, right, eldest brother?"

After hearing this, Jia She trembled with anger, his eyes widened, staring at Jia Zheng.

What a good Jia Zheng, I really underestimated you before. You are in vain as a scholar. How can you be sensible, observe filial piety, and know integrity?
He talks nice and irritatingly. When these words come out of his mouth, isn't it because he is thinking about his own family business?

Jia Zheng's ugly face was revealed, and Jia She felt resentful and angry.

Now that they were at odds, Jia Mu did not give Jia She a chance to fight back. Following Jia Zheng's words, she delivered another critical blow and said:
"Boss, have you forgotten who your Lao Taishan is?"

Jia Mu's words were so clueless that Jia She was stunned after hearing them. He refuted Jia Zheng's words in his mind and forgot all about it for a moment, his eyes flashing with doubt.

The same is true for Jia Zheng, thinking what's going on with his mother, he's just a short shot away from taking down his eldest brother.

He thought to himself: Could it be that my mother has softened her heart and regretted it?

Jia Zheng was so anxious that he hid behind Jia She and kept winking at Jia Mu.

Didn't you agree?

The eldest brother gave up his rights in the Rongguo Mansion, and the Xing family girl allowed him to fill in the house, and then sent him to Dongkuoyuan to live on his own.

This girl from the Xing family is the daughter of Xing Guodong, a clerk under Wang Ziteng. As she grows older, her beauty becomes more and more beautiful.

Because she was somewhat talented, Xing Guodong had the idea of ​​using his daughter to match the dragon and the phoenix.

However, there are not many wealthy families in Shenjing City, and it is even harder to find those who agree with the Xing family!
The family you like is from a bad background; the family you don't like is disgusted by the family's low status and refuses to get married.

Unexpectedly, this delay lasted for 1989, dragging a girl from the Xing family into an old girl.

Apart from her status, this torture girl is a good match for Jia She.

In this way, one link after another, the calculation is so that Jia She will never be able to stand up in this life!

But, why is Jia Mu so uneasy about playing tricks?
Oh, by the way, the eldest brother's first wife, Mrs. Zhang, is the legitimate daughter of Zhang Hua'an, the former imperial censor of Zuodu, and the biological sister of the former crown princess. However, six years ago, Xu Dehui was dethroned for the first time because of a clique. Zhang Huaan was the first to be affected and was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to kill the whole family.

Many people in the Xungui family were dismissed from their posts, and many more were exiled to guard the border in Liaodong and were unable to reunite with their families for life.

Jia Zheng will always remember that the snow that year was so heavy, the ice covered thousands of miles, and the snow drifted thousands of miles away. It was so cold!
The nobles of the Wei Dynasty, represented by the four princes and eight princes, went to the Rongguo Mansion to seek an explanation. The father dealt with it in the front yard, while the mother took the opportunity in the backyard to order Zhang, who was not dealing with her, to die of dystocia and massive hemorrhage.

On the same day, the eldest brother's eldest son, Jia Hu, fell into the water and caught cold and died suddenly.

The eldest brother was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes, and was not allowed to go out even half a step; the eldest brother Jing and his son in the east were even arrested and sent to prison.

In the end, the uncle and his father jointly submitted a petition to save themselves, and they were able to escape.

Jia Zheng can think of this section, and Jia She is no exception.

Nowadays, except for Jia Dai, no Jia family member in the East and West Mansion has an official position, and the West Mansion only has an empty title and a false salary.

There are eight people in the Jing clan in the He clan, with thousands of people inside and outside, relying on this ancestral legacy to survive.

With the death of Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua, the Jia family has completely fallen from the top dignitaries of the Wei Dynasty to the ordinary world. The ordinary ones can no longer be ordinary.

Jia She also became lazy. What happened to his father-in-law was not his fault. Besides, after so many years, it was just a matter of mentioning it again. Why did his mother ignore it and blame him?
Unfair, too biased!

Seeing Jia She's soul lost, Jia's mother couldn't bear it, and consciously preferred Jia Zheng, but it was all the flesh she had shed, how could it not hurt?
However, Jia Mu couldn't care much at the moment.

Jia She is already a useless man with no future. If the Rongguo Mansion is left in his hands, it will only collapse.

However, Emperor Taikang looked at Jia Zheng differently and gave him the title of chief minister. Once the mourning period was over, he could work as an official in the Ministry of Works. With the support of the Jia family's connections in both houses, he would soon be able to become a highly respected minister with a bright future!
For the future of the Rongguo Mansion and for the prosperity of the Jia family in Jinling, we must make a decisive decision and give no hope to Jia She.

Jia Mu persuaded herself in her heart and encouraged her silently.

Taking advantage of the victory, he went all out to capture Jia She and make Jia Zheng the head of the Rongguo Mansion!
