Rongguo Province was born in martial arts.
If a general wanted to be promoted,
The only way was to fight. Duke Rongguo Jia Daishan knew very well that he could inherit the title without being demoted.
It was all because of his military achievements. But when Jia Xie and Jia Zheng were born,
The world was peaceful.
The rebels in the country had been quelled.
The foreigners were also beaten until they needed to recuperate for decades. There was no war.
Their Rongguo Province was useless.
The title passed down would also be lowered. There was no other way.
Jia Daishan could only consider giving up martial arts and turning to literature.
Unfortunately, Jia Xie was not good at literature or martial arts.
She was also committed to being a good-for-nothing.
Jia Daishan was very disappointed, but Jia Zheng, who loved to read, gave him hope. As mentioned earlier, Jia Zheng was actually not talented.
He only knew how to memorize by rote. Jia Daishan was a martial artist. He thought that Jia Zheng was a scholar just because he could recite an essay.
However, he did not know that in the eyes of a real scholar.
Jia Zheng was a blockhead who studied to death. He did not know how to master a comprehensive study at all.
Although Jia Daishan was not satisfied with Jia Xie, he was very satisfied with Zhang Xianfang, his daughter-in-law.
Later, he relied on the relationship of in-laws.
He sent Jia Zheng to the Zhang family.
He asked Zhang Xianfang's father to give him a few pointers. Zhang Xianfang's father was an imperial censor. He was eloquent and merciless. However, Jia Zheng was a person with a lot of self-esteem. He only went to the Zhang family once and refused to go again. He even complained to Jia Daishan that Zhang Xianfang's father was deliberately making things difficult for him. Jia Daishan was very angry because of that. He thought that the Zhang family looked down on them in Rongguo Province, so he not only complained about Zhang Xianfang, but also didn't help the Zhang family when they were in trouble later.
A reliable teacher would hurt Jia Zheng's self-esteem. Only a flatterer could teach Jia Zheng well. Because of this, Jia Zheng wasted his time until Jia Daishan was about to die. He didn't even pass the exam. Jia Daishan had no choice but to ask for an official position for him. How did it become that Jia Daishan couldn't bear to see him take the road of the imperial examination, so he gave him an official position? It was obvious that Jia Zheng wanted to, but Jia Daishan didn't have the ability.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately spreading false rumors in order to suppress Jia Xie and give people the illusion that Jia Zheng was more suitable to inherit the title of nobility than Jia Xie.
Shuijing thought for a moment, then looked at Chongjiu and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter with those sons? Especially the girls' fate and character, how do outsiders know so clearly? And the young master who was born with jade in his mouth … he said it as if he saw it with his own eyes. "
"Some things were deliberately spread by the Jia Mansion, and some were leaked from the mouths of the Jia Mansion's servants. Everyone in the capital knows that the servants of the Jia Mansion can't keep their mouths shut. After a few cups of yellow wine, they even know which room the men are sleeping in at night. "
It didn't take much to know that the Jia Mansion deliberately spread the rumors. But so what if she was born with a noble fate? Could she be the empress or the mother of the future emperor? Unfortunately, if the Jia Mansion wanted to become a relative, they had to change the current emperor first. And the young master who was born with jade in his mouth. What an auspicious sign. What did the Jia Mansion mean? Did they want to rebel and usurp the throne? But judging from the servants of the Jia Mansion, they didn't have the ability to do so.
Jia Xie's head was buried very low, and her face had turned purple. Although it was his own choice to endure the humiliation, he felt that he was more cowardly than he originally thought after hearing about his life these years from other people's mouths. The fact that they didn't call him a cowardly old bastard behind his back was already giving him face. And the second branch, what did they do? They even made him lose face.
Shuijing wasn't interested in the stupid things that the Jia Mansion did. He only said to Jia Xie resentfully, "Why did you let Jia Zheng live in Rongxi Hall, and even give him the authority?"
Jia Xie was ashamed and said, "Mother used filial piety to threaten me to give Rongxi Hall to Second Brother. I couldn't disobey her. And the authority to manage the household. After Xianfang passed away, Mother gave the authority to sister-in-law Wang Clan. "
"So now the Wang Clan is managing the household?"
"No, it's Brother Lian's daughter-in-law."
Chongjiu explained, "Second Young Mistress Lian is Lady Wang's niece."
So in the end, the Wang Clan was still managing the household, but they had moved from being in the open to being in the dark.
Shuijing narrowed his eyes, "Your mother also made the decision to marry this daughter-in-law?"
Jia Xie nodded.
"You've become a filial son!" Shuijing sneered.
Jia Xie was raised by his grandmother and had never been close to Mother Jia. Moreover, he knew that Mother Jia was biased toward Jia Zheng, so he didn't expect much from Mother Jia. He would give her face, but as for filial piety … he could only laugh.
Jia Xie was silent for a long time, then said, "Although I have two sons and one daughter, the only one I really care about is Brother Lian. Brother Lian is the only descendant of Xianfang. No matter what, I have to protect him. "
Shuijing's hand that was touching the thumb ring paused, "What do you mean?"
Jia Xie gritted his teeth, his hands gripping the armrest of the chair so tightly that blue veins popped out, "I'm afraid there's something fishy about the deaths of Xianfang and Hu Ge 'er."
Shuijing unconsciously pressed the thumb ring harder, Wen Dongyan's goose feather fan paused, Chongjiu's eyes widened in surprise, and the two secret guards didn't move, but they also pricked up their ears.
Hu Ge 'er was the eldest son of Jia Xie and Zhang Xianfang. When he was only five years old, he fell down from the rockery in the garden and died on the spot. Speaking of which, Shui Jing had attended his one-month-old banquet back then. However, he wasn't in the capital when Jia Hu died, so he didn't know what happened at that time.
"Tell me the details." Shuijing's voice became colder.
Jia Xie said, "When Hu Ge 'er climbed up the rockery, there wasn't a single servant girl or woman by his side. Xianfang rushed over and saw Hu Ge 'er's miserable state. He immediately fainted, and then fell seriously ill. At that time, I was busy taking care of Xianfang and Brother Lian. By the time I came back to my senses, all the people by Hu Ge 'er's side had been disposed of by Mother. " Speaking of this, his red eyes burst out with resentment, and he gnashed his teeth, "Mother has always been kind to the servants, afraid that others would say that she treats human lives like grass. This time, she suddenly beat all the people by Hu Ge 'er's side to death, saying it was for Hu Ge' er, but I don't believe it."
He wiped his tears, "I had my suspicions, but I didn't dare to tell Xianfang. At that time, Father-in-law had just been removed from his position by the emperor emeritus, and the whole family had been chased out of the capital. After that, Hu Ge 'er's incident happened, and Xianfang was already half dead. I was afraid that I would agitate her again, so I took all the blame for beating the servants to death, and warned the servants not to say anything. I planned to wait until Xianfang recovered, and then I went to Mother to question her. After all, I couldn't let Hu Ge 'er die in vain. Moreover, we still had Brother Lian. Xianfang gradually got better because of him. However, Xianfang's illness suddenly worsened, and he was bedridden. "
"Before Xianfang died, he begged me to protect Brother Lian. I originally thought that it was a blabbermouth who had let it slip in front of Xianfang. It was only after I married Madam Xing that I found out that someone deliberately said those things in front of Xianfang to aggravate her illness. Madam Xing was chosen by Mother to marry me. She came from a small family, and didn't have the ability to manage Rongguo Province. Mother wanted me to marry her because she wanted the Wang Clan to continue managing the household. In fact, since Xianfang had passed away, I didn't care who I married. However, the problem was that when Mother saw Madam Xing, Xianfang's health had already begun to improve. "
Mother Jia saw her new daughter-in-law when Zhang Xianfang was on the verge of death. Although it seemed cold, it wouldn't cause too much criticism. After all, many families were like this, and she couldn't leave the position of matriarch empty. However, doing this when Zhang Xianfang's health was improving was a big problem. As long as Zhang Xianfang didn't die, there was no need to choose a successor. Unless, she was very sure that Zhang Xianfang would die.
Jia Xie continued, "It's not that I didn't dare to fight to the death with them, but Brother Lian was still young. I was afraid that if I didn't pay attention, he would be harmed. Therefore, I could only endure. They did these things for nothing more than the title of nobility and Rongguo Province. Therefore, I began to indulge myself and became the useless hedonistic son that they wanted. I didn't stop Brother Lian from being raised by Mother in her room. They deliberately raised Brother Lian into a hedonistic son, but I pretended not to see it. They married Brother Lian to a niece from the Wang Clan, but I didn't object. They used Brother Lian as a steward. In Brother Lian's heart, Jia Zheng was closer to him than me, but I didn't care. As long as Brother Lian could live well, it was fine … "
Wen Dongyan frowned. "Has Marquis En been able to find any clues over the years?"
Jia Xie said shamefully, "I didn't dare to investigate back then. Now that so many years have passed, any clues are probably gone. In fact, these are just my guesses. I don't have any evidence. "
"It's fine as long as you have suspicions." Shuijing played with the thumb ring on his thumb and said faintly, "When I do things, I never need any evidence."
"Close? Who's close to her? " Jia Xie looked at Lin Ruhai as if she was looking at a naive fool, "I'm a hooligan. My own life isn't good, so I don't have time to care about others. In any case, when Daiyu first came, I didn't see her. However, I also didn't see my good second brother who is close to you and Minmei. The Wang Clan has always had a bad relationship with Minmei. As far as I know, she hates Minmei very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown her power on Daiyu's first day. If you want her to take care of Daiyu, the sun will rise from the west. As for the Old Madam … "His expression suddenly became strange. He laughed twice and said," She treasures Daiyu very much. She treats him better than her own granddaughter. When Daiyu came, he didn't tidy up another courtyard for her. He directly let her sleep in the jade screen cabinet in her courtyard. That jade screen cabinet was originally for Baoyu. When Daiyu came, he moved to the bed outside to sleep. He hasn't moved out yet! "
