The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 110
Seeing that no one spoke, Mother Jia broke the silence first.

"You all talk about it, what should we do? Although the eldest girl's intention is here, she also said in the letter that we have to make up our own minds in the end. Now, we have to come up with an idea."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jia Mu stood up with the support of Yuanyang.Walking slowly in the room.

"Just a few days ago, it was here. Brother Ming scolded our family up and down. He said that our family would engage in some crooked ways, and when we did serious things, no one succeeded. At first I was still not convinced, but I didn’t expect it to come true in just a few days.”

"This matter can't be escaped now. Our family has to bite the bullet and continue. Don't blame others for plotting us. In this world, each other is plotting against each other. Whoever is good at calculating, who Just win."

"The account is also obvious. You have to fill in 3 to [-] taels a year for nothing. You all know whether we can afford it. If this continues, it will take three years at most, or two years at least. If you start a family business, you will be exhausted."

"The road now is nothing more than two. One is that we will take it on our own, and it will last for two or three years. At that time, we should go to beg for food and live a hard life. I have lived for more than seventy years. , I have seen quite a few aristocratic families, and they will decline if they say they are declining. It is not the first time for our family to be the first."

"The second way is like what the eldest girl said, go and invite brother Ming back, maybe there is still a way to survive. Tell me, which one do you choose?"

"I can't live for a few more years. I kick my legs and close my eyes. I can't see or worry. But the children's life is still long. You can weigh it yourself."

After Jia Mu finished speaking, she went back to the chair and sat down, drank tea slowly, but calmed down.Occasionally take a look at the crowd with your eyes to see how they react.

Naturally, no one wanted Jia Min to come back, not even Jia Zheng.

From an emotional point of view, Jia Zheng would like Jia Min to come back.One is that Jia Min is his son after all, and he still doesn't want to see his son wandering outside.

The second is the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, which is also related to Jia Zheng's reputation.When he was in the yamen yesterday, Wu Shangshu had gently reminded him to handle the family affairs well.

Although Jia Min's departure from Jia's mansion is a private matter, it depends on who it is for.For Jia Zheng, an official, it was not just a personal matter.

Although this era emphasizes father's order and son's obedience, it also emphasizes father's kindness and son's filial piety.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng is just an inconspicuous little official now. If he is in a key position, or has been promoted, or has political opponents, just because Jia Min was run away, he is a stain.

If some meddling censor were to follow him, Jia Zheng would have nothing good to eat.

Intellectually speaking, Jia Zheng did not want Jia Min to come back.

Once Jia Min comes back, he will continue to entangle with the people in the mansion.At the least, he was restless all day long, and at the worst, Jia Min might order the people in the house to kill him one day.Instead of this, it would be better to let Jia Min go, there will be a way out.

With Jia Min's ability, it is entirely possible to find his own way in the future.

From the current point of view, Jia Min is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to save Jia's mansion.But what if he also fails?

One day, not to mention what is going on with the emperor, he will not be able to pass just the barrier at home.At that time, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Jia Amnesty was naturally unwilling.

Although Jia's mother is more inclined to Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty is currently living in the mansion and living a pretty good life.

Mother Jia doesn't control him very much, and he is still very comfortable in all aspects.Even if you are outside, you can eat well.I usually think of ways to get some money by myself, eat, drink and have fun all day, and live like a fairy.

If Jia Min comes back, will his good life continue?I'm afraid it won't happen.

First of all, Jia Min is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes. Although he is young, he is sophisticated and vicious in his actions.In terms of strategy, it is even more exhaustive.

Secondly, Jia Min knows all about his business outside. If he comes back this time, he will definitely gain power in the mansion. If he wants to make money, it will be even more difficult.He himself knows the business well, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it from him by any means. This will cut off his source of income.

Mrs. Wang would naturally not like Jia Min coming back.

First, as soon as Jia Min comes back, Baoyu's life will be difficult. In the future, Baoyu will not let him be bullied to death?If he was allowed to gain power in the mansion, Baoyu would have no way out.

The second thing is that Zhou Rui poisoned Jia Min, which has become an open secret among the masters. Mrs. Wang's image has suffered a major blow because of this incident.

From this point alone, Mrs. Wang's handle fell into Jia Min's hands.She no longer has the ability to control Jia Min.For this point, even if his natal family came forward, it would be useless.All that can be done now is to hope that Jia Min will not delve into this matter any more.Being able to live in peace with each other is the best result.

Jia Lian also had no reason to like Jia Min's return.

When there was no Jia Min, the foreign affairs in this mansion were basically handled by him, and there was a lot of attention to detail.

Even if others doubt him, there is nothing they can do about him.One is that no one can replace his role, and the other is that he does it more skillfully.

However, with these two things, when you meet Jia Min, you don't know how to do it.Jia Min can not only replace his role, but also do better than him.His methods, in Jia Min's view, are children's tricks.

The most important thing is that this fourth son, Min, is really too shady.If he is scheming people, he can almost count you to the bone marrow. If he is not careful, he will be scheming and sent to the gutter.

Wang Xifeng doesn't welcome Jia Min back.

Don't say it far away, just say it this time.First, he gave presents to all the masters, so he didn't give her and Baoyu, and publicly slapped her in the face in front of the whole house.

The matter of lending usury was done so secretly, but he was still caught.As for the matter of the wine shop, he told him to expose his old background in front of everyone, but now he has to hand it over to the officials, and he can do his own work for a while.

The most terrible thing was the matter between himself and Brother Rong and the matter of Jia Rui's death. He must have caught the handle.

If Jia Min comes back, don't talk about suppressing her in the future, I'm afraid she won't even be able to lift her head in front of him.Why don't you have to listen to him for everything?

I hoped that he would leave this time, so that I could catch my breath.In the future, find an opportunity to silence him, and it will be over once and for all.Unexpectedly, the emperor came to help him, and he just got such an errand.

Jia Zhen also didn't want Jia Min to come back.

Although this errand fell on Xifu's head, it has no direct relationship with Dongfu for the time being.However, judging from the events during this period of time, it is obvious that the fourth brother Min is not a good person, and Brother Rong is also a clever one, and they have been repeatedly defeated by him.

Besides, recently, Jia Zhen has become more and more suspicious that it was a bit strange that she met the robber that night at Xiaoheyan.

How could it be such a coincidence to meet a master?It's fine if you steal the money, why do you have to cut off my life?
As soon as he entered the mansion, he beat Huan Laosan. That day in Rongxi Hall, it is said that he knocked down more than a dozen in the blink of an eye. This kind of skill always reminds people of that person that night.

With his business methods and manipulative methods, coupled with his literary talents, he will definitely be in power when he returns to the mansion in the future.I'm afraid no one can suppress him.Let him gain power, I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future.

Although he is from the West Mansion, he may not have no idea about my East Mansion.

Besides, after so many years, Zhao Lianju had been dug up by him. This person is really too scary.

Seeing that everyone is silent, Jia's mother's mood is even more complicated.

Different from other people who think from their own point of view, as the head of the Jia family, she must think about this issue from the perspective of the entire family and from a strategic height.

She neither wanted Jia Min to leave Jia's mansion, nor did she want Jia Min to return to Jia's mansion.

She didn't want Jia Min to leave Jia's house because she really couldn't bear the loss of Jia's reputation after Jia Min left Jia's house.

It is very degrading to drive a bastard away.

An important symbol of the existence of big families is that they have a different decency from others.In modern terms, it is family honor.

Although in many cases, this decency is gone, but no one would just abandon this decency openly.

It would be fine if Jia Min was just an ordinary person. After he left, after a while, others would forget about it.

The problem is, he's a business genius and a poetic genius.After leaving Jia's mansion, he will either create a foundation on his own, or be incorporated by other forces, and he will have great achievements.

This is in stark contrast to the Jia Mansion.This comparison is the greatest mockery and humiliation to the Jia family.

That's why Jia's mother asked the girls to go to Yeduju, and temporarily tied Jia Min to prevent him from leaving.Trying to let Jia Min dispel his thoughts slowly through time.In the future, he will be used again to make money for the government.

However, Jia's mother was absolutely unwilling to ask Jia Min to return to the mansion.

That day in Rongxi Hall, Jia Min had already lost face with almost all the masters in the mansion.It was only the last step, and finally there was no report to the official.

It is not so easy to make up for this rift.

The main problem is that this brother Ming is not only a good businessman, outstanding talent, but also a master of tactics.

Sister Feng, Baoyu, and Brother Rong are like fools, they are played by him in his hands, and they are not even opponents.

That day in Rongxi Hall, I had hoped to subdue him in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, I told him to be true and false for a while, and then turned myself into a fool, and finally told him to make people look like ghosts. of.

Although other people have their own little calculations in their hearts, they are just playing tricks in the dark.But, this brother Ming doesn't even look down on me at all, he moved out the soul of his ancestors, and suppressed me so hard that he couldn't even say a word.

Therefore, the best way is for him to neither leave nor return to his residence, but just stay in the wild.

But, it's too late now, the emperor's errand is here, who can take it on except brother Ming?
