Chapter 151 Set up your own business?

Jia Mu felt confident because she heard Jia Lian promise last time that he would not compete with her for family property.

Although Mrs. Wang also heard Jia Mu talk about this incident, she did not hear it with her own ears and could not judge whether Jia Lian was an excuse or sincere.

At this time, hearing Jia Lian speak like this, Mrs. Wang could not help but feel a little nervous, but she did not show any signs of it. She just said calmly: "We are all one family. If you want to ask anything, just ask It’s just that there are too many people to worry about.”

Mrs. Wang intended to emphasize the concept of “one family”, and she was reminding Jia Lian not to say anything excessive that would make it difficult for everyone. .

Jia Lian said: "Thank you so much, madam. What I want to ask the old lady and madam is, are my father and master really separated in these years?"

Jia Lian's words really changed the expressions of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

If you say points, you are definitely right.

After all, the economy is divided and the houses are completely separated and incommunicado. Isn't it like this when brothers in the world separate their families?

If there is no point, it seems to make sense.

Although the two rooms live separately, they are still on the territory of Rongguo Mansion. The most critical evidence is that the human relations with various families are handled by Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng and Jia She, one is the master of Rongguo Mansion, and the other is the eldest master.

This is the biggest confusion of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng and Jia She, their personalities, knowledge and cultivation are completely different. After enduring each other for so many years, the old man finally died. They are also in their forties or fifties, so why don't they separate quickly? Everyone is clean?

But none of them can kick anyone away!

Jia She lived for the longest time and received a title. Logically speaking, he should live in Rongxi Hall and support Jia's mother.

However, both Jia’s mother and the old Duke of Guo preferred Jia Zheng and his wife, so in their later years they preferred to let Jia Zheng and his wife support them, and jointly decided to kick him aside...
< br />Filial piety is greater than heaven. Although he was dissatisfied, Jia She did not dare to go against his parents. He simply hid aside and was able to keep quiet.

Let’s talk about Jia Zheng. Although he defeated his brother in a fight and obtained the ownership of the main courtyard of the Duke’s Mansion, he did not dare to kick Jia She away!

Because he got everything, but not the most important title.

The title and the imperial palace are inseparable. When Jia She was at home, he could still be said to be serving his mother and taking charge of the family for the time being.

Once Jia She holds the titleAfter leaving Rongguo Mansion, the result can be imagined. Not to mention whether the court will intervene, Jia Zheng himself has no shame in continuing to give orders at home.

Therefore, Jia She and Jia Zheng have a relationship where neither can do anything to the other.

The relationship between Jia She and Jia Zheng is the crux of the root cause of the two houses in Rongguo Mansion.

Fortunately, Jia’s mother lived long enough, so the two families have lived together peacefully for so many years.

Now that Jia She is dead, although Jia Zheng and others no longer have to worry about Jia She’s counterattack after Jia’s mother dies, the fundamental problem is still unresolved.

Once Jia She died, his son Jia Lian would inherit the title, which undoubtedly added a variable. A variable that is more difficult to control than Jia She. After all, no matter how confident Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are, they will not think that they can survive Jia Lian...

There is no way around this. For Jia Zheng and others, although they won for a while, losing the most critical thing determined their final outcome.

As long as Dafang still has heirs, they will have to move out of Rongguo Mansion sooner or later.

Jia Zheng was already ready to retire, so he forced his eldest son Jia Zhu to study hard in the early years, and at the same time sent his eldest daughter, who had excellent conditions in all aspects, into the palace. Jia Zheng and his wife, who are trying their best to keep their wealth, hope that their eldest daughter can also contribute to their family.

After Jia Zhu’s death, he had the greatest hope for his second son Jia Baoyu, hoping that Jia Baoyu could study and become an official, so that their lineage would not be completely degraded after his death. A home for common people!

The retreat is the last choice. At least, Jia Zheng is not planning to hand over the Rongguo Mansion yet.

Before Jia Mu drove Hexi to the west, Jia She had no ability to overthrow him. Jia Lian, who is a younger generation, does not have this ability, at least for now.

Mrs. Wang will not and dare not change Jia Zheng's will at will.

Therefore, facing such a sensitive issue with Jia Lian at this moment, she did not speak rashly before she understood what Jia Lian meant.

Jia Baoyu and Daiyu listened obediently, not daring to say a word.

They were even surprised that Jia Mu and others did not drive them out.

After a long silence, Jia Mu asked: "How about dividing the family, or not dividing the family?"

Jia Lian seemed to be discussing a very important matter with Jia Mu and others. As for ordinary things, he replied with a plain face: "If the family has not separated, there is actually nothing to say.

But if the family has been separated, the grandson really has some thoughts to share with the old lady. Explain to the master and wife.

I used to be young and didn’t quite understand the truth. Every time I heard people say that Feng Yatou and I were doing housework here to help my uncle manage the house, I didn’t take it seriously.

But in one month, I will be twenty years old, and it will be my crowning year.

Since ancient times, when a man is crowned, he is considered to be an adult. It’s not like the grandson will always live in his second uncle’s house and never have his own home, right?

So, I have discussed with Feng Yatou that after the eldest master’s funeral affairs are settled, we should move out and no longer rely on the care of the master and his wife.

Old lady and madam, you don’t have to worry. Your grandson is now considered an official and has his own foundation. You don’t have to worry about how much suffering we will suffer after we move out. tired.

This is actually my response to Mrs. Cai’s instructions just now.

In the past, we didn’t have any affairs here, so the exchanges between relatives and friends were all supported by the master and his wife.

From now on, we also need to take up our own responsibilities. So don’t worry, madam. This time my relatives came to express condolences to my father and also sent memorial gifts. In the future, my wife won’t have to worry about returning the gifts. Feng Yatou and I will be responsible for returning the gifts ourselves.

Well, that’s probably it. ”

To Jia Mu and others, Jia Lian’s words were like a mountain wind and tsunami exploding in their ears.

They did not expect that Jia Lian would actually do what he said. It is really abnormal to make such a decision, and it is not in line with the natures of him and Wang Xifeng.

It would be easy to say that the two of them are particularly strong-willed and are not willing to "depend on others".< br />
But obviously, they are not.

In order not to live with that old ghost Jia She, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng happily agreed to come and help these people. Bian is the housekeeper, and he works hard and is unwilling to return to Dongquaoyuan even if he is beaten to death!

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others are also happy to see the success out of consideration for the stability of the family.
/>
In fact, this is the gentle policy of Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and others, allowing the two future masters and mistresses of Rongguo Mansion to temporarily take charge of the housekeeping, so that in such a special situation of Rongguo Mansion, see Look a little more normal.

They thought that after Jia She died, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng would have no worries and would not die here anymore, but they didn't expect that they could not bear it so much. Jia She had just died, and they thought Do you want to go back?

Could it be that their humility and filial piety were all just a show of pretense, and they were waiting for this day to leave their elders so that they could go back to a small place to become kings and hegemons, just like Jia She did?Profit?

Therefore, Mrs. Wang was almost subconsciously happy, and then she started to think again.

If she could really kick Jia Lian away, Mrs. Wang would be happy for her. But she can only think about it. She is not naive and knows that this is impossible. If it was really like what Jia Lian said, there would be many problems that would follow...

Mrs. Wang started to think carefully.

Both Jia Baoyu and Daiyu were shocked by Jia Lian's sudden decision.

Daiyu looked at Jia Lian blankly, feeling very reluctant to give up. But she had no intention of persuading Jia Lian, because she knew that Jia Lian would definitely not make such a major decision without careful consideration.

She must stay with Jia Mu, so if Jia Lian moves away, it will not be so easy for her to see Jia Lian in the future - this person has always cared for her, even though he often pestered her. , but I also feel that my cousin is considerate.

In this way, this family becomes more and more boring.

The Baoyu next to him didn’t understand anything...

Jia Baoyu saw Daiyu shed tears and said nothing, and knew that she was reluctant to leave Jia Lian.

Although he felt a little disgusted in his heart, he couldn't care too much at this time. He looked back at Jia Lian and advised: "Brother Lian, do you really want to move out? We all live like this Isn't it good to be together? Can you and Sister-in-law Lian not move away..."

On the one hand, Baoyu spoke up for Daiyu, and on the other hand, he felt really reluctant to let go.

First of all, he couldn't bear to part with several extremely beautiful maids in Jia Lian's courtyard, including Ping'er, Xiang Ling and Qing Wen.

If they lived together, he could go to Jia Lian's house every now and then, look at them, talk to them, and feel satisfied. If Jia Lian and Sister Feng move back to Dongkuayuan, then he may not be able to see those touching girls easily.

Secondly, he couldn’t bear to part with Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng is both his cousin and his sister-in-law, and she has always been very kind to him. She even hugged him when he was a child, and he still remembers her scent!

Finally, I feel a little bit reluctant to let go of Jia Lian.

Brother Lian is at least much cuter than Brother Zhen and Brother Huan...

"No!"

Jia Mu stared at Jia Lian After a long while, he really couldn't tell what Jia Lian meant, so he patted the armrest of the high couch and said seriously.

Jia Lian looked at her, waiting for an explanation.

"You are an official now. Just like your master, you are impatient to take care of these trivial matters at home. It is not a big deal in the first place. Housekeeping is not a necessary thing. You used toIt's the same as leaving the errands to Lai Da and others.

It’s not impossible for you to move back to Dongkuaoyuan.

Could it be that if you move back, you won’t recognize your second uncle, your wife, and me? "

Jia Lian was busy and said he didn't dare.

Jia Mu continued to say in a deep voice: "If you make other decisions, I won't care about you.

But you still want to be independent and have to deal with your relatives alone? If this is the case, where do you put the face of Rongguo Mansion, and where do you put the face of your master?

Don’t you want everyone to see our family’s jokes? ”

A family, like a country, can only have one court.

If Jia Lian also communicates with other mansions normally, he will go to other places during the New Year just like here. When giving gifts at the mansion, should they recognize Jia Zheng or Jia Lian? How should they respond to gifts from the Rongguo Mansion? Do they really prepare two copies and mark them as "Da Rongguo Mansion" and "Xiao Rongguo Mansion"? If so, it would not be a joke. .

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "In that case, my grandson will not go back to Dongkuoyuan. It just so happened that my grandson also felt that it was indeed unseemly to separate a part of the dignified Imperial Palace to establish a household.

Anyway, now that my father is gone, the East Crossing Courtyard is of no use. It is better to tear down the middle wall in the future and restore the original appearance of Rongguo Mansion. From now on, there will be only one Rongguo Mansion, so it will naturally not make people laugh. "

Jia Mu was stunned: "If that's the case, where will you live? "

"No matter where you are, if you spend tens of millions of taels of silver, you can buy a yard for several people to live in, and you won't look shabby. ”

Jia Lian’s words were even more unexpected. Even Mrs. Wang’s expression suddenly changed.

If Jia Lian’s face was not calm, she would have thought that Jia Lian was crazy. !

Actually, he is willing to give up his identity in Rongguofu and go out to stand on his own feet? Does he know what this means?

Jia Mu was also startled, and then her face turned full of hatred. He said sadly: "Lian'er, Lian'er, you are forcing us! Do you really plan to have no contact with us from now on? "

Jia's mother lost her composure, and Jia Lian couldn't stand anymore. He knelt down and said in the same manner: "Old ancestor, please calm down. It's not because your grandson insists on doing this, but he has no choice but to make this decision." of.

The grandson just doesn’t want people to think that he can only rely on his uncle and aunt forever.

What the grandson wants is a home of his own, a home that he is willing to pay for, plan carefully, and carry forward.Instead of doing a lot of things, in the end you can only get one sentence from others, that you are helping your uncle take care of the house!

In fact, the grandson doesn’t want to move out either. But... to be honest, just when my grandson came to visit his ancestors, he bumped into a few women sweeping the main courtyard. They all said that it was a real loss for me and my wife to take in Feng Yatou and me all these years. very.

Even this time, my father’s funeral needs the help of my master and my wife to make it smooth...

My grandson is grateful for the kindness of his master and his wife. But it’s really shameless to stay at the master and his wife’s house all the time. Therefore, ancestors should let us move out.

Ancestors, don’t worry, even if we move outside, we still dare not forget to honor our ancestors..."

As soon as Jia Mu heard what Jia Lian said, she immediately Realizing that Jia Lian must have been stimulated, he suddenly decided to move out.

So he hurriedly asked for the specific reason.

Jia Lian did not hide it and told him what he heard. , and made even more heart-wrenching remarks in front of Jia Mu.

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately guessed that this was probably the beginning and end of Mrs. Wang. No wonder she asked Wang before The madam brought over the remaining silver, but Madam Wang was still reluctant and kept asking questions. So it turned out that it was because of this that she did not hesitate to smear the reputations of Jia Lian and Sister Feng just for the sake of a mere sacrifice?

Seeing Jia Mu staring at her, Mrs. Wang did not dare to sit any longer. She was full of grievances and could not express them, so she stood dull.

After all, Jia Mu was not good at all because of such gossip. Mrs. Wang came to vent her anger for Jia Lian. She turned back to look at Jia Lian and sighed: "It turns out that's why you are still a fourth-grade official. You are just some lousy slaves who don't understand right and wrong. You talk nonsense." Take it seriously?

Think about it, for your father's affairs, your husband and wife have contributed people, efforts, and money to help you handle it. How could there be any selfishness at all?

It’s just a small sacrifice. We have spent all the money we have, so why do we still care about that little bit?

You can just accept the sacrifice. Anyway, your father’s funeral is still going on for so long. No one knows how much more money will be spent. Just treat it as an extra sum of money paid by the official to you. Just use it. As for the return gift, you don't have to go back and forth by yourself. When you come back and send the gift list, it will naturally be handled by the officials in the future.

I thought it was a big deal to make you like this. Really, your sister Lin is not as worried as you are. You are really going back as you live more. "

Jia Mu deliberately joked to lighten the atmosphere, so she looked at Daiyu with a smile.

Even though she knewDao Jia's mother was so amused by her that Daiyu suddenly blushed with embarrassment.

There were more than one or two people who said she was too worried, but this was the first time for Jia Mu to do it in front of Brother Lian and others. How could this make her so worried?

However, if the old lady can persuade Brother Lian to change his mind, even if she is wronged, it will be nothing.

Daiyu thought so in her heart.
