Chapter 79: The Human Heart Has Its Own Public Theory
Opening up your family name is not a joke, but the most severe measure of clan punishment for individuals in the patriarchal society of this era.
Especially for families like the Jia family, the Jia family has two houses, Ning Rong and eight houses in Shenjing. They are descendants of Ning Rong and Ning Rong. They have to gather together to worship their ancestors at the end of the year. At that time, people who did not have Jia family status were not even allowed to participate in the sacrifices.
From now on, when you walk outside, you cannot think of yourself as a member of the Ning Kingdom.
To be more serious, he is called a wandering ghost without any ancestors.
If someone doesn't know what's going on, they may think that Jia Heng has bad conduct, is surly and rebellious, and is not tolerated by the clan.
Even if he takes part in the imperial examination and carries such a reputation, he will be affected in some way.
To put it bluntly, social evaluation has plummeted.
People are social beings, three people are like a tiger, and a crowd of people can make a fortune.
This is the real reason for Jia Heng’s impassioned speech just now.
He couldn't wake up the people in Rongguo Mansion who were pretending to sleep.
But he can express his attitude.
So, does he need to convince Jia Mu and Jia She?
unnecessary!
Debate is always about convincing the bystanders, rather than convincing the other party to argue!
He must express his own position. Even if he is expelled, it will create a situation where you say you are right and I say I am right.
It cannot be a one-sided clan. Comments like this are circulated among the people.
Otherwise, in this era, the emphasis is on the emperor, the emperor, the master, the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles... He, Jia Heng, was so slandered by his clan that he no longer even had any ancestors, and became a rootless person.
In fact, in the Jia family, which has been a century-old prince, even Leng Zixing, an uncle of Zhou Rui's family, can tell Jia Yucun, "Nowadays, the population is increasing, affairs are becoming more and more prosperous, and all the masters and servants are prosperous, honorable, and well-planned."
If there is no one, then I can’t make do with ostentation and frugality.”
It's impossible for Jia's mother to be the person at the helm of the Jia family and not be aware of it at all.
But you don't necessarily think the ship will sink.
Of course Jia Mu was aware of the unkind acts she committed against Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but she did not realize the seriousness, perhaps she was paralyzed by herself.
Of course, the Jia family did not do anything. In the early years, they sent Yuanchun to the palace in order to gain the respect of their relatives. Jia Zhu entered school at the age of fourteen, tried to become an official from Kejia, and introduced Jia Yucun as foreign aid. These were all attempts by the Jia family to win
Ways to operate from power.
But if you don’t cultivate your inner strength, there will be no men left to do anything.
It is destined to be nothing.
Of course, he would not care about what happened to the Jia family. Jia Shengsong wanted to use the clan as a shackle to make things difficult for him, but he made the wrong calculation.
Jia Mu's face looked ugly at the moment. She calmed down her breathing and looked at the tall and proud young man. Indifference gradually appeared in her old eyes.
This young man, either out of anger or self-preservation, just used the heroic spirits of his ancestors to talk things out, disturbed the peace of his ancestors, made the Jia clan uneasy, and the clan could no longer tolerate him.
"Let the clan elders discuss the matter of expelling Jia Heng from the clan." Jia's mother said in a weak voice, and Li Wan at the side quickly stretched out his hand to caress his back.
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression was indifferent and he said in a deep voice: "Old lady, I am a descendant of Ningguo and I have never done anything wrong. Why do the Jia people want to expel my family name?"
He doesn't have to act as a Jia clan member. He doesn't have much nostalgia for this identity, but he can't be slandered by Ning Rong's second house!
Jia Mu waved her hands, looking tired, and said: "Since you have no clan in your heart, let me let you go and start your own business. You don't take the people in the two houses in your eyes anyway."
Mrs.
Jia She snorted coldly. Seeing the "gloomy" look on the young man's face, the hatred in his heart was relieved a little, and he said: "There is no place for you in the clan. The house and fields in Liutiao'er Hutong where you live are also the clan's property.
Once the clan registration is gone, the clan elders will re-examine the residence and the source of the fields. If it is clan property, you must hand it over!"
This means killing them all.
After Jia She finished speaking, he looked at Jia Heng coldly, with a sneer on his lips.
He heard that Jia Heng had just gotten married. If all his property was taken away, he would take his newlywed wife to live on the streets and drink the northwest wind!
Jia She thought bitterly in his heart.
Jia Zheng frowned and sighed: "We are of the same race, so why worry about fighting each other..."
Obviously, Father Zheng didn't agree with Jia She's style. This was spread because he wanted to say that the Jia clan abused his relatives.
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said with a sneer: "Don't bother the clan. The property of the farm and house is the hard work of Heng's parents, and they will not take any advantage of the clan."
All the family property, land and house deeds are written in his mother's and father's names, and they have no connection with the clan at all.
Of course, Jia She said that he would not use force or robbery.
Without the protection of the skin of his fellow clan members, in Jia She's eyes, he was no better than the stone idiots who came after him. They were just fish and meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by Jia She as he pleased.
"Except for a certain clan, I also have something to say. After Heng became the Ning Kingdom, the head of the two families, because he was not tolerated by the clan's underlings like Zhen She, left the clan to set up a household and stayed on his own. The heroic spirits of the two kingdoms of Rong and Ning are here
, God makes it clear, and you can learn from it!"
After Jia Heng finished speaking loudly, he bowed his hands towards the upper nave where Jia Mu was standing, turned around and left.
In the Rongxi Hall, there was a sound of silence, as Li Wan looked at the young man in green shirt, elegant and handsome face, with a bit of sadness, such a young man was not tolerated in the clan, and a touch of pity gradually appeared in his eyes
.
A trace of sarcasm flashed through Sister Feng's eyes under her willow eyebrows, and she thought to herself, what's the use of talking so much? You and the old man were choking each other, and you went crazy and wild in the Hall of Rongxi. Now it's better, and the old lady won't help you anymore.
Now that you have been expelled from your clan, let’s see how you gain a foothold outside!
Jia Zheng sighed and wanted to say something, but he felt torn between his clan and right and wrong, so he just sighed.
Mrs. Wang glanced at the young man's back with disgust.
Youshi raised her bright jade face, looked at the young man who turned away with a faint expression, and sighed softly in her heart.
After all, it was her husband...
Behind the bead curtain, Tanchun's hand hidden in his sleeve was holding the handkerchief tightly. A layer of doubt appeared between Yingxiu's eyebrows. She had been paying attention to "Uncle Heng" just now, and saw that he looked calm and seemed to be interested in "Uncle Heng".
There is not much despondency about the matter of "removing membership".
Isn't he afraid at all?
"Self-established one's own branch..." Suddenly, Tan Chun's white and rosy jade face paused slightly, her heart trembled, and she thought to herself, could this be exactly what he wanted?
That's right, if you are ambitious and capable, go out and stand on your own, and you will not be bound by the clan.
But just wanting to get out is not that easy. Being expelled from the clan will inevitably lead to a loss of reputation. It is not cheap to take the imperial examination and become an official, and it is easy to be criticized by others.
Daiyu frowned slightly and looked at Baoyu aside. She saw Baoyu pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were blank and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Child is arrogant..." Jia She said angrily.
At this moment, Jia Hengfang walked to the threshold. Under the eaves of the corridor, Lin Zhixiao looked frightened and said in a shocked voice: "Old lady, eldest master, second master, the angels from the palace have arrived to receive the order..."
In the Rongxi Hall, everyone with different ideas was stunned and their expressions suddenly changed, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Jia Heng's face was silent as he pressed his sword and left the Rongxi Hall. When he heard Lin Zhixiao's words behind him, he felt a little emotional at how quickly Emperor Chongping moved.
"With this sacred decree, the influence of my expulsion will be completely eliminated. Even if it is an imperial examination, others will not use this issue as an issue. The emperor personally decides the case. The Jia family must confuse right and wrong and suppress the relatives. People's hearts have their own reasons."
Public opinion."
How should I put it, being a member of the Jia tribe is of little use to him, and instead represents endless troubles.
If the Jia family wanted to continue to be kind to him, he would be in a dilemma. From then on, his personal destiny would be completely tied to the rise and fall of the clan. In the future, he would have to be a nanny for the Jia family, and the Jia family would suck his blood.
Of course, he might be able to dominate the Jia family and kill Zhen She? But he is a side relative. Doing so would inevitably lead to someone saying that he was using side branches to seize the direct clan's inheritance, which would require a lot of effort.
It is even easier for him to be clean, to establish his own family, to be granted the title of marquis and to be the prime minister, without anyone holding him back.
"I hope Emperor Chongping's imperial edict will not cause any new twists and turns." Jia Heng thought in silence.
