The road back(37)

Jia Zheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. There were so many eyes looking at him, and those who were far away stood up on tiptoes and looked in this direction. Everyone's face was full of disbelief. After digesting this information, everyone became a little bit agitated.

The reaction came back: Oh! It’s not the old patriarch who wants to separate the clan, but the empress’ father who wants to separate the clan.

That's right! No one has ever heard of someone being dissatisfied with the number of people under his command. What reason would a patriarch of a big clan have to tear down his own territory and influence?

So, everyone looked towards Jia Zheng.

Jia Daixiu stood up tremblingly, walked to Jia Zheng and asked, "Master Zheng, what do you say?"

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Jing with an angry look on his face. Jia Jing just sat there with his nose and nose in mind, not even raising his eyelids.

When Jia Zhen saw her father like this, she walked up to Jia Zheng first and knelt down with a bang: "If my nephew does something inappropriate, please ask uncle to punish him. It means that my nephew is not worthy of being the leader of the clan. Now he is the leader of the clan."

, you can also give in. Why should we cause such a thing as splitting the sect? Wouldn't it be good for the whole family to help each other? Now like this, I don't know, I thought it was my nephew who did something unforgivable. But this time

No matter how much my nephew examines himself, he can't figure out what he did wrong. To the old lady, the nephew is as filial as a grandson and does not dare to disobey him in the slightest. To the two uncles, the nephew respects the two uncles very much.

Although he has never thought about it morning and night, when it comes to major events, he dare not make his own decision without asking his two uncles for their opinions. For the two aunts, the nephew also sent his daughter-in-law to greet them and to serve and flatter them. Even for the brothers below, he did not

Speaking of Lian's second brother, even Baoyu, I dare to say that I, as the eldest brother, love everyone. As for the empress... others don't know, uncle, you should know it. The empress wants to save relatives and build a garden at home. I am

I gave up space, money, people, efforts, everything that my nephew could give. I asked myself, there is nothing I can do to anyone. But now that my uncle is like this, it’s okay to have such an idea.

That’s it, even my nephew was not informed in advance, he is still the patriarch... Where do you want to put your nephew? "

Although Jia Zhen is confused, his words are not false at all. He has no slack in dealing with Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, what he says can stand up.

These words had left Jia Zheng speechless, but Jia She immediately answered: "Zhen'er, get up quickly. You have done nothing wrong. I can testify to this." After saying that, he reached out to help Jia.

Zhen stood up. She turned her face and asked Jia Jing: "Is it reasonable to respect elder brother? I am the head of the Rongguo Mansion. You don't discuss it with me, but you talk about dividing the clan. What's the reason? Is it possible that you take everything that everyone says seriously?"

Come and do it? Today, if he talks about dividing sects, you should say splitting sects. Tomorrow, even Lian'er will dare to point fingers, and you won't be able to listen..."

"That won't happen!" Jia Jing opened his eyes and said calmly: "Your Majesty's father is naturally different from others. Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't know. It's okay if the old lady knows. Brother Zheng came to me and said, it must be

It's a matter that was discussed with the old lady. An elder has spoken..."

"Then I, an old man like me, have something to say. We can't separate the two sects. I am also an elder, how dare you not listen?" Jia Daixiu leaned on his crutches and knocked the crutches on the ground with a dull sound. After roaring, he continued

of cough.

Jia Jing still looked the same: "Of course you are the elder. But do you have a position? The old lady is still a super-class official! Although this is a family matter, family matters are also divided into seniority and inferiority..."

In this whole clan, apart from the empress, only the old lady is the most noble.

The wishes of the mother-in-law and her father represent the wishes of the mother-in-law, and this is what the old lady agreed to. In other words, the two most noble women in the clan have the same opinion.

Once these words come out, who can speak?

Even Jia She was speechless after hearing that the old lady knew about it. He could question Jia Zheng, but he could not question the old lady. At this moment, he only felt that everyone was looking at him with some sympathy.

Yes! As the head of the family, what could be more tragic than that the mother and her brother had discussed something that they had discussed with each other, but hid it from him alone? There was nowhere to vent, so he only turned his face and looked at Jia Lian: "What a sin, even you hid it from me."

Stay with me."

Jia Lian knelt down and said, "I want the eldest master to know. My son really doesn't know anything."

"Your wife has been waiting in front of the old lady all day..." When Jia She asked this question, Jia Lian kowtowed: "It's not that the son is protecting his wife. In fact, she has not cared about the family affairs in the past two years, and she cannot know everything about the family.

Of... not to mention... not to mention... people are hiding it intentionally, how can we know?"

Yes, yes! The villain Lian'er got together with Zhen'er once, and Brother Rong was running back and forth. If he knew about such a big thing, he would definitely not hide it from Zhen'er.

Jia Zhen really testified to Jia Lian: "Uncle, don't blame the second brother wrongly. My nephew can guarantee that the second brother will never know about this."

In front of the whole clan, young and old, Jia She burst into tears: "...it's not that I, Marquis Jia En, want to be ungrateful, it's just that I'm so stupid that I can't even figure out things at home... Just forget it!

Whatever happens to this matter, I don’t care.”

Jia Zheng's face turned redder: he was guilty of transgression.

Jia Jing looked at everyone and said, "Whoever doesn't want to split the clan should go to the old lady, convince her, and then talk to the second brother Zheng. Just these two people will talk about it, and that'll be it."

Who is going to say it?

Even Jia pardoned Jia Lian and kept it secret in advance, which shows how determined he is. Who has the dignity to persuade the old lady to persuade Jia Zheng?

Someone shouted and told Jia Daixiu to go. Now he belongs to the old generation, and he is of the same generation as Jia Mu, and his uncle and sister-in-law are easy to talk to. But Jia Daixiu himself knows that he does not have the dignity to face a super-grade emperor.

Therefore, the coughing sound became more and more intense, and he wished he could cough up all his lungs. His son was also smart, and quickly stepped forward to help the person down, looking like he was about to cry: "Dad! Are you okay? Dad!"

I told you not to come out..."

Yes! Another unreliable finger.

Jia Qinmao was behind, so she said: "Ask Uncle Heng. No matter the old lady or the empress, I have to give Uncle Heng some face."

Everyone suddenly realized why they had ignored such an important person for so long.

So everyone looked towards the Fourth Master. This one was called 'Brother Heng', and that one was called 'Uncle Heng'. For a moment, their eyes were all focused on the Fourth Master.

Can Fourth Master go?

He didn't say he would go, nor did he say he wouldn't go. But he said: "The old lady is easy to talk to. After all, she is just a housewife. It is the men who have the final say on whether to separate clans or not. Instead of asking the old lady, she will cause trouble."

The old lady feels uneasy and has become sick, so why bother? Now that Mr. Zheng is in front of her, it will be clear to ask Mr. Zheng how to divide the clan. If you feel that there is injustice in the clan, with the help of the young and old men,

The big family will discuss it, and whatever can be solved will be solved by the way. This matter of dividing the sect will be over with no trace, so let it go."

This makes sense.

That's right, ask the old lady. The old lady took advantage of her age and got sick for you for a while. What do you do with her? If word spreads, is it a good reputation to force a super-level man to die? What's more, if Jia Zheng is

If he changed his mind, then Jia Mu would have him, his own son who was loved by the old man, to persuade him, which would save him a big deal.

But talking to Jia Zheng is much simpler.

The eyes of Jia Jing and Fourth Master met in the air, and then they separated from each other again.

After going around in a circle, Fourth Master brought the topic back again.

At this time, everyone paid more attention to Jia Zheng than the fourth master. Jia Daixiu came to life again, and first asked: "Master Zheng, please say something."

"That's right! You have to explain clearly why."

"This is so good, there can't be a reason!"

You and I spoke in agreement, and everyone gathered together.

Jia Zheng's face was so expressionless at the moment, but how could he explain such a thing?

Are you saying something bad happened to Ningguo Mansion?

So what happened? I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know, but I do know, but how can I say? For one thing, Jia Jing and Jia Zhen were dissatisfied, and they insisted on not dividing the clan and wanted to drag everyone together to be buried together.

Secondly, this news was handed over by the empress. The royal family has not taken any action so far, so it might be that she has other plans. If the empress is involved because of her own selfishness, it is still a small matter. If it ruins the royal family's plan, it will really be a big deal.

It’s a big deal. When the royal family is blamed, will the situation in the palace be better than that of being tied to the East Palace?

Thinking about it this way, it is even more certain that this matter cannot be discussed.

Could it be that Jia Jing was sure that he didn't dare to say anything, so he pushed the matter forward so blatantly.

After holding it for a long time, he said: "The tree has big branches, and the clan naturally divides into different clans."

What a reason!

Obviously, this statement is not convincing.

No one below was convinced, and they all began to question: "The whole family has contributed to the Queen's marriage. What is happening now is just the Queen's will."

Naturally, Jia Zheng would not pass it on to his empress. When he saw the juniors starting to clamor in front of him, he was also annoyed. This Zong Jiner scored even if he was divided. He then faced Jia Qin, who was the loudest.

He said: "Why did the old lady and I separate our clans? We were both concerned about each other's face and didn't want to say anything. Since you've asked about it today, I'll tell you. Brother Qin, those things you did behind your back,

Don't look at me, I don't know. Monks and nuns are mixed together randomly, most of them are under the banner of empress. Do you think this is the case?"

Jia Qin retreated silently, not daring to speak.

Jia Zheng looked around: "Like Brother Qin, do you still want me to tell you one by one?" Then he looked at Jia Daixiu: "You are not happy, are you not happy to split the sect, or are you not happy not to be able to borrow money in the future?

To collect tribute silver from merchants in the name of the empress?"

Jia Daixiu twisted his body and lowered his head, unable to answer.

Many small traders also wanted to find a way to protect themselves. Jia Daixiu's sons were doing some small business, so they deceived the small traders and gave them one or two taels of silver a month. They only thought it was for the imperial concubine.

Home, don't you know that it was all given to the person who built this house on behalf of Jia?

There are also those who rely on the power of the empress to buy and sell by force, and to occupy the neighboring fields. When calculated carefully, there are really few good ones and many bad ones.

Jia Zheng counted these people one by one: "The empress is the empress of the clan, but who has considered the reputation of the empress? If not, it will definitely affect the empress in the future. If it affects the empress' reputation, it will be a problem."

It affects the reputation of the royal family. Those who know it say that the Jia family does not know the importance and does not restrain the clan members. Those who don’t know think that the royal family indulges the emperor and the mother-in-law’s family is so lawless! You all said that you have done your best for the mother-in-law.

But in the past few years, you have benefited from my mother-in-law and you should have repaid the debt of that day. If there are still people who think that I am ungrateful, then I will accept it."

There weren't many people sitting here with clean bottoms. Now Jia Zheng pointed them out one by one, and no one dared to jump out and say anything again.

Once it is brought to light and people take it seriously, the losses may be even greater.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Jia Zheng raised his head again, snorted softly, and sat down in a relaxed manner.
