Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters tough
On Rongqing Hall.
After hearing what Jia Cong said, Jia Mu was furious and laughed in anger, saying, "This is the book of sages you read? Marrying and husbands will die and follow their sons. Then, the old woman, I, ask you, where is your filial piety?"
Jia Cong seemed not to see Jia Mu's anger, and he replied, "Reply to the old lady's words... The Master said, "The previous king had the most virtues and the key ways to obey the world, the people should be harmonious, and the upper and lower levels should not be resentful. Do you know it?" Zengzi avoided the seat and said, "How can we know it if we are not sensitive?" The Master said, "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue and the birth of teaching. I sit again, and I talk to you. My body and hair, my parents should not be hurt. It is the beginning of filial piety. We have established ourselves and practiced our ways and made famous in later generations to show our parents. The end of filial piety. Filial piety begins with serving our parents, serving our kings, and finally establish ourselves.
Cong was taught by saints since he was a child and did not dare to forget the foundation of his life. Therefore, he loved his body, hair and skin, and did not dare to hurt him. He started to be filial. He studied hard and obtained fame. Because of his family, he abandoned his pen and joined the army, served the king with loyalty and respect, and made a first-class contribution to the nine borders. Now he was awarded the title of Marquis and became famous in the world to show his parents.
This is Jia Cong's filial piety."
Seeing Jia Mu staring at him in a daze, Jia Cong didn't care, but he continued, "Old lady, Cong thought that filial piety is not filial piety. In Jiangnan, the gentleman and I advised me several times that Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, to follow the trend and obey the new law. Although Zhen Yingjia was moved, he could not convince the Zhen family's wife. Finally, he was in trouble of raiding the family! Is this filial piety? It is filial piety!"
These words shocked everyone in the hall!
Mrs. Wang and others took a breath, and Baochai and others were even more shocked behind the curtain.
Who would have thought that Jia Cong would dare to speak to Jia Mu like this?
I didn't expect that the huge Zhen family would die because of the wife of the Zhen family...
When Jia Mu heard this, she was so angry that her whole body trembled and said excitedly: "My wife, have you stopped you from doing that new law? I don't know when the farm in your family was exchanged for the village of Hei Liao by your evil deeds. You still have the face to blame me for harming your Jia family?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Cong is not an accent of the old lady. When it comes to this matter, the old lady is indeed much better than the wife of the Zhen family. The old lady never asks about the outside. The reason why Cong said this was just to tell the old lady that blind obedience was not truly great filial piety."
Jia Mu said angrily: "This is strange. Submission is not great filial piety. Is it possible to be disobedient? I ignore you, Confucius or Mencius, "My family has always managed the family with kindness and filial piety. You can do whatever you want outside, but you have to listen to us inside. Don't use the words from those books to coax me, but I know that even in the palace, the emperor is in charge of the previous dynasty and the queen is in charge of the harem. This is called the male protagonist outside and the female protagonist inside. Humph! If you want everything to follow your heart, let us all suppress you, I advise you not to have this beautiful dream."
When Jia Cong heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he was not angry at all.
Perhaps a smart opponent is always more interesting than a naughty boy...
He looked at Jia Mu and nodded, "What the old lady said makes sense. As long as the previous matter is not involved, it is naturally the old lady who has the final say."
Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "Is what the eldest lady said the matter before?"
Jia Cong said strangely: "Isn't Cong the person in front?"
Jia Mu: “…”
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
God, there is really someone in the family who dares to confront the old lady.
But the old lady herself probably didn't realize that she had acquiesced to this situation.
Of course, when she reaches Jia Cong's position, she will not acquiesce to herself, and it will be ugly.
Jia Mu is of noble status and background, but even Jia Mu's father is just a bowling marquis, and is not as noble as the champion marquis.
Actually, if you think about it, it may be a good thing to have someone who can compete with each other...
However, Zhu, the wife of Jia Mu's mother, said something: "Brother said this interestingly. Shouldn't the marriage of his children follow the orders of his parents?"
Jia Cong looked at her with a faint look and said, "What the wife said is that the marriage of children should naturally follow the orders of their parents and matchmakers. However, the eldest wife did not discuss with her uncle's family. If one party can't speak up, just settle it? As for the words of the matchmaker, it is unheard of."
Behind the curtain, seeing Jia Cong "resisting death and not following" and even collided with Jia Mu head-on, Baochai's heart was about to melt and her eyes looked at Jia Cong with water.
She thought Jia Cong did this all for her...
Zhu, the wife of Baoling Hou, said again, "This is not a matter of urgent power. Besides, it is not just about this matter, but about the family. What the old lady says is what it is, and what is the inside and outside? This is definitely not an act of observing filial piety. And the old lady said before that Baoling Hou Mansion is now having a difficult life, so she relies on a little investment in the farm. Now, Prime Minister Ning, who is so heartless in the court, even this investment is taken away. Fortunately, I heard that when you come back, you will have to take care of this matter. My aunt and her aunt said that you will keep a hand in the Baoling Hou Mansion. Those who commit crimes also pay attention to the relatives and hide each other, let alone our trivial matters? What do you say about this? Do you not listen to what the old lady said?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong looked at the decree with a mean and aggressive face in the hall and asked curiously: "Has Madam fell asleep just now? I haven't heard the old lady just said that she is different from the confused lady from the Zhen family who caused the Zhen family to raid the house. The old lady only cares about the inside and does not ask about the outside. Besides, I, Jia Cong, do the emperor's entrustment, and it's your turn to be a woman who is pointing fingers? Also, in this limelight, if the Baobing Hou Mansion is tired of living and wants to die, no one will stop her, but I want to take my Jia family to die together, so I will not be with you."
After saying that, without waiting for the opportunity of Zhu's angry crying, Jia Cong said to Jia Mu, who looked gloomy: "At this moment, even the princes of the royal family were encircled. The deep connections of the Zhen family and the Tian family were still confiscated and questioned. If the Baoling Hou Mansion still couldn't think about it, Jia Cong had nothing to say."
When Jia Mu heard this, she felt a little sad. After glanced at Jia Cong fiercely, she said to Zhu, who was distorted with grievance and tears, "Okay? Your sister-in-law advised you not to listen. The second brother advised him not to listen. I didn't listen yet... Now you have good words, are you comfortable? When you go back, just give him his original math to Brother Nai, and say that others can't recognize you, a poor relative, and you don't have a shy face to lean in front of others. When your head falls off, people will hide away in advance, for fear of splashing blood. You still expect others to save you from the sight of me, a bad woman? Bah! Stop daydreaming of your mother!"
When Zhu heard this, he looked frustrated, but he could only leave angrily.
Zhao sighed and said goodbye.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng was very disliked by Jia Cong. Her second son Wang Li and Ning Zechen's son Ning Yuanze planned to murder Jia Cong, intending to seize Jia Cong's property in Qinxiangyuan. After the failure, he was killed. How could Li not hate Jia Cong to the core?
It hasn't been a few years.
When he got up and said goodbye, he advised Jia Mu, "I heard earlier that this brother in the big room is amazing. But I heard that this brother was very cruel in the big room. It was the old lady who asked him to come here to raise him. I thought he could be more respectful to the old lady, tsk..."
Before the provocation and disagreement was finished, Jia Cong said coldly: "Li, last year you conspired with your son Wang Li to plot against me, and wanted to kill me, and thought of my wife's grace of raising me, and I did not care about you. But if you think that the Jia family is a fool, then you have made the wrong idea. For the sake of the wife, I will give you a last advice. With a wife, aunt, and second sister-in-law, the Wang family and the Jia family should have prospered and both prospered and lost. Now they are all in a difficult situation, and it is difficult for all major mansions to protect themselves. The Jia family, the Wang family should live a low-key life, and after passing this disaster, they will talk about other things. If you are still making trouble in the middle and want to provoke discord and vent your son, there is only one way to die. The Supreme said: There is no way to be good or bad, but only people will bring disaster. I hope you will do it yourself."
When Li heard this, he immediately stepped off his face. Seeing Jia Cong was shocked and angry, his face was so hot that he wanted to refute something, but Mrs. Wang could not bear to see it anymore and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go home first."
When Li heard this, he knew that Mrs. Wang had seen through her thoughts. She did not reflect on her own insults in her own plans, but only hated Jia Cong for being vicious and evil. She could even see through such a clever plan. After he told her, others gave her ugly look.
After glaring at Jia Cong fiercely, Li took his leave.
After she left, Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said to Mrs. Jia: "Let the old lady make a joke."
Jia Mu didn't like Li's trouble, which made the Jia family ugly, but now she wouldn't blame Mrs. Wang, but instead stared at Jia Cong and said, "Okay, your champion Hou is amazing! You can drive all the relatives of the Jia family cleanly! I'll drive away my wife and I tomorrow, and there's no such thing that will hinder your Jia family's relatives!"
After a little silent, Jia Cong said, "The old lady should understand that if it weren't for them as relatives, how could he say those alert words? I'm not a person with a lot of verbal words.
Your Majesty gave me the Emperor's Sword and ordered me to kill all the evil spirits in the court.
If it weren't for the old lady and her wife's face, how could Cong tolerate them being rude?
If it weren't for the old lady and the wife's face, I would have made them realize that I was no longer the villain they remembered, who could beg for work in that ear room and beg for insults and tramplings.
Now I am the first-class champion of Daqian. I am the noble Duke. How dare a woman be humiliated?!"
This is a brilliant saying, and it is unparalleled in power.
And the whole hall was shocked...
Grandmother Jia lowered her eyebrows and stared at Jia Cong with a breath, feeling weak.
When Jia Cong's status was, he was such a cold and ignorant bastard, and Jia Mu really had no choice but to do anything to him.
If he talks a thousand words, as long as he does not achieve the point of being inferior to a beast, she will not be able to go to the palace to sue him for his rebellion.
A sense of decay arises, and Jia Mu waves his hand and says, "Stop it, you have read a lot of books, all of which are the principles of dealing with us. Now you have also been named a marquis and a high-ranking official, and you are becoming your champion marquis and become your loyal minister. Don't come in and make trouble with us again. I can't withstand such troubles, and I don't have to come in and settle down in the morning and evening... I only warn you not to bully Baoyu with your power, otherwise I will not give up with you!"
When Jia Cong heard this, he looked helpless and looked at Mrs. Wang. Seeing that she was also looking at him with gentle eyes, he smiled slightly bitterly. Mrs. Wang nodded to him and signaled that she understood.
Jia Cong said, "Old lady is so relieved. Baoyu and Brother Huan are no different from me. There is no need to say anything about this matter... There is another thing. When in Yangzhou, the Lin family in Suzhou bullied Lin Meimei when her uncle was unconscious. Later, my uncle woke up and I discussed with him to see if he would move the Lin family to the capital. My uncle was guilty and refused to come because of his aunt's affairs. In the end, he decided to go to Beijing because of his aunt's affairs. But my uncle said that he had no reason to live in the Jia family. I told him that the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter and would never let Lin Meimei live outside. Finally, he agreed to ask Uncle Lin to live in the front house of the East Mansion, and he would have to serve him. My sister Lin still lived here with the old lady and went to the East Mansion to visit every day. In another month, Lin Meimei would come back."
Hearing this, before Mother Jia had time to say anything, Baoyu ran out of the curtain behind and said happily: "Really? Sister Lin is really back in the next few months?"
When Baoyu came out, the others followed, and all the guests left.
Jia Cong nodded to Baoyu and said, "I'm back and now I'm taking care of Uncle Lin on the boat. Baoyu, Uncle Lin is unconscious now. It's hard to say whether he can wake up. Mostly he can't wake up. Before he fell into a coma, he asked me to take good care of Lin Meimei. You and Lin Meimei are both the tops of the old lady. Don't bully her in the future. Of course, I told her to not let her get angry with you anymore."
Baoyu smiled shyly when she heard this, but then she recalled something was wrong and a little confused, as if something was wrong...
Jia Cong patted his shoulder and said nothing more. Only then did he have the opportunity to greet Li Wan and all the sisters in his family one by one.
Baochai was in the last place. After the two looked at each other for a few breaths, Jia Cong asked, "Sister Bao is still safe?"
Baochai nodded gently, her eyes becoming more gentle as water.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jia Cong guessed that it must be because of Aunt Xue. After the two looked at each other for two more breaths, he changed the question and asked, "Where is Sister Ping'er? She is in a hurry to come back to accompany her second sister-in-law, and she refused to stay in Jiangnan for a day. Why haven't she seen her before?"
As soon as these words came out, a silence suddenly appeared in Rongqing Hall.
Baochai, Xiangyun, Tanchun and others looked stagnant, and Baoyu looked even more ashamed and lowered his head.
Seeing this, Jia Cong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Baochai and said softly: "Sister Bao, where is Sister Ping'er?"
Baochai was shocked when she saw him like this and hurriedly said, "Brother Cong, don't worry, Ping'er is fine, right in the East Mansion!"
If Baochai said this before, Jia Cong would naturally not ask anything again, but the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall is so strange that he would not think too much, so he said strangely: "Why don't she come to help here? How could she be in the East Mansion?"
Baochai was speechless again, and only shook his eyes and advised him to go down. At this moment, Jia Mu said angrily: "I drove the girl who was ignorant of her ignorantness, and she would not be allowed to enter the door in the future! She dared to instruct her maid to push Baoyu aside. It would be good if I didn't kill her!"
Jia Cong looked at Jia Mu with deep eyes and asked softly: "Old lady, did someone beat her?"
Baochai couldn't see that Jia Cong was really angry, fearing that the misunderstanding became deeper, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no, Ping'er is so good... The old lady is the most compassionate, just to scare Xiaoqi, how could someone really beat him? Besides, the master is here too..."
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong nodded, and no longer looked at Jia Mu who was snorting coldly, but looked at Baoyu who was worried about him. Suddenly, he smiled, and Baoyu felt a chill in his heart. He said, "Baoyu, how did you teach you a lesson?"
Baoyu was ashamed and said with guilty expression: "Jia Cong, I... I really have no bad intentions. Really, I just thought Xiaoqi..."
On the top, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang narrowed their eyes and looked down carefully.
Jia Cong looked at Baoyu for a moment, and Baochai's nervous heart was almost jumping out. She was not nervous about Baoyu, but was afraid that Jia Cong would really have a big fight with his family, which would be bad for Jia Cong...
Tanchun and Xiangyun were on the side, and wanted to speak but stopped, wanting to persuade Jia Cong.
Fortunately, Jia Cong only patted Baoyu's arm with a red face and guilty face and said, "I understand your personality. You like little girls the most, but it is never ridiculous. But I still want to advise you that some habits should be changed. Otherwise, with the master's authenticity, one day, when the old lady can't take care of you for a while, you fall into the master's hands again... Good brother, please beg for your own blessing."
After saying that, he no longer looked at the dejected Baoyu. After bowing to the depressed mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others in the high hall, he nodded with Baochai, Tanchun, Xiangyun and others, and Jia Cong turned around and left.
Here, he will probably rarely come in the future.
However, with this tough conversation today, Jia Mu and others should understand that he is no longer the same as before...
When I won't point fingers at him anymore.
After leaving Rongqing Hall, it was already dark and it was already past midnight.
It was quite cold on the night of Chang'an in February. After Jia Cong looked at the sky, he strode towards the East Mansion.
