With four hundred and fifty taels of silver in his arms and fifty taels of silver in his sleeves, Jia Lian immediately felt his waist straight and his heart was singing:

"Our ordinary people, we must be happy today. We ordinary people, we are so happy tonight!"

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I met Jia Zheng who came back from the Ministry of Works, and a group of Qingke's husbands were following behind me.

Jia Lian hurried forward to salute, and Jia Zheng smiled slightly:

"This trip to Gusu is a good one. Your uncle Lin wrote a letter to praise you very much, and he is young and knowledgeable."

Jia Zheng was fond of studying since childhood. When he was young, he was said to be a "people who are rich in poetry and wine". He just wanted to take the imperial examination in order to highlight his ancestors.

Later, when his father Daishan was dying, the old emperor gave him an extra favor and gave him a sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of Works. In the first two years, he was promoted to a fifth-rank chief of the Ministry of Works. Although his official position was not high, he was now the only person in the Jia family who had some real power in the court.

On the other hand, the fifth-rank Tongzhi bought by Jia Lian is just a good name, but it is useless.

Jia Lian had long heard that Jia Zheng had always admired Lin Ruhai, who could regain his family through imperial examinations, and was also humble in character and elegant in action. This was the first person Jia Zheng was willing to make friends with.

If you can get Lin Ruhai’s praise, Jia Zheng naturally has to look up to him.

Jia Lian hurriedly bowed and said:

"It's my uncle who loves you, but my nephew is just doing his part."

Jia Zheng has always been very serious and always praised people until they are happy today, and said:

"It is rare for a young man to be humble and not arrogant.

Mr. Yucun, your uncle recommended, also praised you endlessly, which I didn't expect.

Mr. Yucun is full of poetry and writing, and is majestic and speaks well, which is very satisfying to me.

I wrote a note today, and I wanted to help him get his reinstatement. I didn’t expect that I would approve it and make up for the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Jinling, but it was not a happy event?

Since he has joined you, if he comes today, you will be with him.

"Lüshi Chunqiu" and "Getting Private" say, "You should not avoid hatred if you take external actions, and you should not avoid your son if you take internal actions." In the future, I would also recommend the children of the tribe who are motivated."

When the bamboo strips on the side saw Jia Zheng praising Jia Lian, they all agreed:

"Brother II has always been improving, so it should not be underestimated."

"The young man in Lao Shiweng's family is naturally a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Jia Zheng shook his head and said:

"He is a inherited person and smart person, so he will naturally have a future in the future.

However, Baoyu is the evil one who travels all day long and doesn’t know how to make progress.

My regret in this life is that I cannot be a Jinshi, and I am determined to hope that my son can be successful. Unfortunately, Zhu'er died early, otherwise why should I be so worried?"

He sighed and turned away.

Jia Lian looked at Jia Zheng's tall back and suddenly a question arose in his heart:

"Jia Zheng is so serious all day long and loves elegance very much at heart. How could he like that vulgar and ignorant Aunt Zhao?"

Suddenly I remembered Mrs. Wang whom I met that day. She seemed kind and recited Buddha's name all day long, but was actually full of scheming.

Jia Lian suddenly felt sympathy for Jia Zheng again.

He handed over thirty-one taels of silver to Xing'er and asked him to deal with Su Yazi, while Jia Lian himself sailed back to the study.

Just as he sat down, he was about to continue thinking about the liquor matter, but a servant came to report outside the door and said that the eldest master Jia She asked Jia Lian to come over.

Jia Lian hurriedly packed his clothes and followed the servant to see Jia She.

Last time I came to Jia She's study, when Jia Lian had just returned from Suzhou, Jia She only drank and played with Qiu Tong in the house, and didn't even see Jia Lian's face.

At this time, it was the first time that Jia Lian saw Jia She.

To Jia Lian's surprise, Jia She was not a "sexy old man" who described it as a despicable person, and had a disgusting face. After seeing it, he wanted to go up and slapped his mouth.

On the contrary, Jia She was quite majestic and tall, with a righteous face.

Unlike his younger brother Jia Zheng's elegant and noble character, Jia She is completely like a military general. He has a national face, a high nose bridge, bright eyes, and a straight waist. Although he is nearly 50 years old, he is still handsome.

Hundreds of question marks suddenly arose in Jia Lian's mind:

"You're playing a bad guy like this?

Is he going on the wrong set, or am I going on the wrong set?

Did I hear a fake father outside the door that day?

What should I do if you do this in the future? Should I be obedient or do it in confrontation?

…”

Jia She glared at her big eyes and slapped the table hard:

"You are now promising! Don't be polite when you see your father!"

Jia Lian woke up and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Jia She continued to yell:

"Mr. Lian is such a great gift. Is he going to kill your father and me?

You are now a celebrity in this mansion, so why do you come here to burn a cold stove?

Your uncle wrote a letter to praise you. I was still happy here, but it turned out that he wanted to write another letter and specially praised you to your second uncle again. You have such a great face!

Your second uncle praised you and asked you to marry his niece. It was not enough for him to let you manage the affairs in this mansion. Do you still want to help your second uncle lead the family?

Who doesn’t know that you, Erye Lian, can be a good person? Even the person recommended by your uncle will praise you. Humph! I am the first-class general who is a serious general. If you want to ask someone to support me, you will not come to find me and go to entrust a fifth-rank worker department officer? A joke!"

Jia Lian is really helpless.

Obviously, this was a conversation between him and Jia Zheng at the gate, and it was passed on to Jia She.

Jia She was all dissatisfied with Jia Zheng, Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun, and he was just a scapegoat for being scolded.

But who told him that Jia Lian was born as a son? He could only listen with his head down and there was no other way.

Thinking about Jia She again, it is indeed a bit unfair.

He was obviously the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, and he was the first-class general of the inherited title. This was a title of first-class military officer. Although in today's peaceful and prosperous times, except for the grand dynasty meeting, he usually didn't even need to go to court, and he usually only had to enjoy salary. Once the court had war, he was a kind of meritorious and nobleman who could immediately lead troops to fight, with real power in hand.

But in fact, who could have thought?

The eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, who was honored by the emperor, could not live in the "Edicted Rongguo Mansion" that the emperor praised Rongguo Duke, but could only live in the old house of Rongguo Mansion separated by a wall.

The emperor gave the serious Duke of Rong, who was given to his mother and younger brother's family, and he did not have the share of Jia She, the eldest son!

In other words, the "Edict to build Rongguo Mansion" was Jia Zheng's home, not Jia She's.

If Jia Lian did not marry Wang Xifeng and was able to help Jia Zheng become the housekeeper, then his status in the Jia Mansion would be like his father Jia She. Except for being able to go forward when sacrificing the ancestral hall, he was just a marginal person in the Jia Mansion at the rest of the time.

And the reason for all this is because Jia Mu is biased towards her younger son.

Jia She vented her feelings, but in the end she was not satisfied and shouted at Jia Lian:

"You are a waste too! You have been married for two years and have not given birth to a man or a woman.

There are three types of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. If your wife is useless, wouldn’t she still have a concubine? If that is also useless, you can take more concubines and collect more people in the house. I will teach you this?"

Jia Lian grinned in his heart:

Also, ‘How many more concubines’?

Do you think I was dying slowly?

Are you a real father?
