This is an anti-theft stamp. The purchase ratio is less than 30%.
The anti-theft time is 24 hours.
He looked at Jia Xie, who had been crying for a long time and still hadn't stopped crying.
Shuijing sighed and said with emotion, "The dead can't be brought back to life.
Xianfang is down there … He also doesn't want you to ruin your body like this. You should get up too.
Don't keep kneeling. "
As he spoke, he gave Chongjiu a look. Chongjiu immediately understood and went forward to help Jia Xie sit down on a chair.
Shuijing said again, "Speaking of which,
I'm really sorry for you. I've paid too little attention to you all these years. I don't know how you've been all these years. "
Jia Xie wiped her tears. "I understand that you have difficulties.
So I didn't dare to cause trouble for you all these years. Naturally, I won't resent you because of this. Later on, after that incident, I knew that you must have resented our Rongguo Manor as well.
I don't dare to be an eyesore in front of you. Now that I can see you again, I'm already very satisfied. "
These touching words made Shuijing feel even more guilty.
He had been at odds with the Retired Emperor since he was young.
To be exact, the Retired Emperor didn't like him.
He was too lazy to show his warm face to the cold butt of his father's nephew who was old enough to be his father's nephew. Moreover, because of certain matters, they had several conflicts. Although he had the upper hand every time, he did not think that he was wrong.
The only thing he regretted was that he was too young.
He only knew how to act recklessly and didn't know how to beat around the bush. Therefore, the grudge between him and the Retired Emperor grew bigger and bigger.
When the Retired Emperor ascended the throne after the Retired Emperor and the Retired Emperor passed away, his good days of endless favor would come to an end.
However, he didn't take things too hard or even complain. Instead, he thought that a real man knew when to yield and when to stand tall. If you don't want me here, there will be a place for me. If you think I'm an eyesore, I'm too lazy to get close to you! Thus, he casually waved his sleeves and left the capital.
As for Jia Xie … Although he had a good relationship with him, Jia Xie was the eldest son of Duke Rongguo. Since he didn't plan to stay in the capital, he couldn't take away the future heir of Rongguo Province and leave Rongguo Province without an heir. In addition, at that time, even if he didn't get involved in political affairs, he was still feared by the Retired Emperor. In order to prevent the people around him from suffering with him, he could only keep a distance from them. Although he was not afraid of the Retired Emperor, he did not want to implicate the people around him.
After that incident, it was not only Rongguo Province that he resented, but also the Four Princes and Eight Dukes. However, Jia Xie was his study companion, so when he started to plan, he deliberately avoided Rongguo Province. However, he didn't want to pay attention to the possibly innocent Jia Xie. He also didn't allow anyone to mention this name in front of him. He thought that Jia Xie inherited the title of Duke Rongguo. Even if he didn't take care of her, she would still have a good life. Now, it seemed that it wasn't so!
Thinking about it carefully, before Jia Xie got married, although she had two or three concubines, many of the children of the noble families were like this. It wasn't a big deal at all. Since he didn't have any problems with women before, why did he become a lecherous ghost now? Especially when it came to visiting brothels. He and Jia Xie had secretly visited brothels when they were young. However, they went too early and the brothels weren't open yet. They didn't have the nerve to go a second time. Looking at Jia Xie now, the brothels were almost his second home.
No matter how much Zhang Xianfang's death affected Jia Xie, it shouldn't have affected him to this extent.
Moreover, what did Chongjiu say about Jia Xie before? It was true that he was a shameless old scoundrel. However, saying that he couldn't tell whether an antique was real or fake and was treated as a fool … Not only did he lose face, but he also lost face for his grandfather, Jia Yuan. Not to mention Rongguo Province, Jia Xie often went to the palace when he was young. What good things had he not seen before? Besides, although he didn't have the talent for studying, he had a good eye for antiques. How could he be deceived by a shopkeeper who sold fake antiques? No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the shopkeeper did it on purpose.
However, why would Jia Xie deliberately ruin his reputation? This point was worth thinking about …
Shuijing's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Tell me, what kind of grievances have you suffered all these years?"
It had been many years since anyone cared about whether he had suffered grievances or not. Jia Xie's nose twitched again. He said in a muffled voice, "I'm the master of Rongguo Province. I'm the one who bullies others. Who would make me suffer?"
Shuijing touched the jade ring on his thumb and said, "Think carefully before you speak. You're not the Jia Xie of the past, and I'm not the old master anymore. I might not be able to do other things, but I have no problem standing up for you. "
Jia Xie was very moved when he heard this. He thought that Shuijing was too modest. He could even do something as big as rebellion. In the end, he succeeded in driving the retired emperor off the throne. What else couldn't he do?
After being moved, he became excited again. Shuijing was finally willing to see him and stand up for him. Didn't that mean that all the humiliation he had endured all these years finally paid off? It seemed that the saying in the opera, "When Heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a great man, it must first torture his will" was true. He could finally hold his head high.
Jia Xie didn't speak for a long time. Shuijing thought that he was too embarrassed to speak. After all, how could a man who was almost 40 years old complain like a child? Shuijing felt that he had overestimated Jia Xie's thick skin.
He wasn't the only one who thought so. Chongjiu asked tentatively, "Master, I know a thing or two about the Lord Jia's grievances. Why don't I tell you first?"
"You know?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Chongjiu smiled and said, "It's not a secret in the capital."
Shuijing's expression changed, and he nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Chongjiu cleared his throat and said, "Master, you don't know. Although the Lord Jia is the head of the family in Rongguo Province, he doesn't live in the Glory Hall, which symbolizes the head of the family. It's the Lord Jia's younger brother, Jia Zheng. The place where the Lord Jia lives … "He looked at Jia Xie sympathetically and said," It's separated from the garden in Rongguo Province. It's separated from the big Rongguo Province by a wall. The worst thing is that the courtyard is very close to the horse porch, so there's a strange smell in the air all year round. People in the capital secretly call the Lord Jia 'General Ma'. "
"Not only that, but as far as I know, the servants in Rongguo Province and the people who have a good relationship with the Jia Mansion all regard Jia Zheng as the master of Rongguo Province. For example, the servants usually call Jia Zheng 'Master', and the Lord Jia 'Great Master'. Another example is the communication between the aristocratic families. The invitations or gifts are usually sent to the second branch of the Rongguo Province. Jia Zheng's banquets are usually held in the Glory Hall, and it's in the name of Rongguo Province. "
Shuijing felt uncomfortable when he heard this. This was simply throwing Jia Xie's dignity and face to the ground and trampling on it. As the master of Rongguo Province, he was ignored to this extent … He didn't know how Jia Xie had lived all these years.
Chongjiu continued, "Everyone in the capital knows that the Second Master of Rongguo Province, Jia Zheng, loved to study since he was a child, and was upright and upright. It's said that he was originally going to take the imperial examinations, but because his father, Duke Rongguo, couldn't bear to see him suffer, he took the initiative to ask for an additional position before his death. Because he worked hard, he was promoted to Minister Counsellor. On the contrary, the Lord Jia didn't do proper work. He loved leisure and hated work. He spent all day looking for flowers, asking for willows, walking chickens, and touching dogs. There were also their children. Jia Zheng's eldest son, Jia Zhu, entered the Imperial College at the age of fourteen. Unfortunately, he died before the age of twenty. Otherwise, he would definitely be a Minister Counsellor. On the first day of the New Year, the eldest daughter was said to be extremely noble. The youngest son was even more strange. As soon as he was born, he held a multicolored sparkling jade in his mouth. He probably had a great fortune. On the Lord Jia's side, the eldest son didn't do proper work. Every day, he worked as the steward of the second branch. His only daughter had the nickname of 'Blockhead'. No matter how you look at it, following the second branch of Rongguo Province is more promising than following the first branch. "
Speaking of sending Lin Daiyu to the capital, Lin Ruhai was also very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. Every time he thought of Lin Daiyu's heart-wrenching cries before he left, he felt endless heartache.
However, when his beloved wife, Jia Min, was on her deathbed, she personally instructed him to send Daiyu to her maternal grandmother's house. He couldn't go against his beloved wife's wishes.
After being husband and wife for many years, and having deep feelings for each other, Lin Ruhai naturally understood Jia Min's worries. In addition to worrying that Lin Daiyu's situation at home would become awkward after he married a second wife, she was also worried that Lin Daiyu would be at a disadvantage in marriage if she didn't have a proper upbringing.
Although Lin Ruhai was a man, he knew in his heart that if she wasn't his biological daughter, it would be very difficult for him to treat her wholeheartedly. Lin Daiyu was not only his daughter, but also his only child in this lifetime. He didn't want her to suffer even the slightest bit of harm.
Therefore, he had long since given up on remarrying. However, if he didn't remarry, Lin Daiyu's upbringing would become a big problem.
The most important thing in a woman's life was marriage. However, the first of the "Five Don't Marry" that had been passed down since ancient times was, "Don't marry a widow or an eldest daughter.
”。 Unfortunately, the Lin family was not prosperous. Although they had a few branches, they were all Tang clans. There were no direct branches. More importantly, they were all small families. The female elders in the family simply couldn't bear the responsibility of educating Lin Daiyu. Only Lin Daiyu's maternal grandmother, Shi Taijun of Rongguo Province, was a first-rank Duchess. Before she got married, she was the young miss of Jinling's Shi Hou family. Lin Ruhai believed that if Lin Daiyu was educated by her, she would definitely become a noble lady with good moral character and manners. When it came to marriage, the other party wouldn't reject her because of "no upbringing".
Moreover, it wasn't safe for Lin Daiyu to stay by his side.
Jiangnan itself was intricate and complicated. In addition to many nobles, the power of the salt merchants couldn't be underestimated. Especially the rich salt merchants. They often put their heads on their belts. If anyone blocked their path to wealth, they would definitely kill Gods and Buddhas. Lin Ruhai was the Salt Patrol Imperial Censor, and also the Salt Patrol Imperial Censor who refused to wallow in the mire with them. Naturally, they hated him to the core. Fortunately, although Lin Ruhai refused to collude with them, he would still turn a blind eye at certain times. Therefore, after so many years, he had lived smoothly until now. However, in recent times, the waves had piled up. Lin Ruhai already felt danger lurking around him, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. He wasn't even sure he could protect himself, how could he protect the young Lin Daiyu?
