dream of red mansion

Chapter 134

"What does the patriarch mean by this?"

Jia Daixiu asked.

Jia Jing stopped talking, and said to the door: "Get the family tree!"

"Yes, sir."

Lai Sheng's calm voice came from the door.Then everyone saw that the meeting hall was opened, and Lai Sheng, the general manager of the Ningguo Mansion, walked in respectfully with a large plate in his hand.On the tray was a large booklet about one foot long and half a foot wide.Impressively at the entrance are the four characters of "Jia's family tree".

When Lai Sheng came to him, Jia Jing said to Jia Daixiu: "Uncle Xiu, please take a look."

Jia Daixiu didn't quite understand Jia Jing's meaning for a while, but he stretched out his hand after hearing the words.Seeing this, Lai Sheng bowed his waist and lowered the plate so that Jia Daixiu could read it more easily.

Jia Daixiu's expression suddenly became solemn and respectful, and tremblingly he turned to the first page of the thick family tree, which was the family tree of the long house.

At this time, he was not in the mood to remember his ancestors, and his eyes quickly focused on Jia Jing's name.

Immediately, his complexion changed.

Everyone in the hall was amazed.But he didn't dare to fight for the family tree, so he had to wait patiently.

Jia Daixiu looked at Jia Jing with a complex expression, and then said to Lai Sheng, "Go and show everyone."

When Lai Sheng heard the words, he first glanced at Jia Jing, and seeing Jia Jing nodded, he bent down again, held the plate, and brought it in front of Jia Dairu.

After everyone in the hall had finished watching, all of them had different expressions.Several people wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start, so they didn't say a word.

After a while, Jia Zheng took the lead and said, "Jue, the king of jade, this word is very good!"

Jia Jue is the name that came after Jia Zhen under Jia Jing on the Jia family tree.

When Jia Zheng spoke, everyone seemed to have found a breakthrough point.

Jia Daixiu thought for a while and said: "Since the patriarch has changed his name, then we don't have to worry about it. I ask the patriarch to be lenient for today's matter."

In fact, Jia Daixiu could also see that there was no trace of changing the name at all, which meant that Jia Jing had already named his youngest son from the very beginning, and there was no problem.

So, doesn't it mean that they have been troubled these days?So, he found a slope, so he said this.

Jia Daixiu had the mentality of calming things down, so naturally he didn't think about it, but he was bluffed by Jia Jing's hand for a while, and wanted to leave.

But listened to the Confucianism of the family: "Wait a minute... Since the patriarch has already made arrangements for this matter, the matter of changing the name will not be mentioned. It's just that I still have one thing I don't know."

Jia Jingdao: "On behalf of Uncle Confucianism, please speak."

"Since the patriarch has already arranged a good name, I don't want to talk about the absurdity of the past. I just ask, from now on, will the Jia family only have Jia Jue, but not Jia Qing?"

Among those present, Jia Dairu was not the only one who thought of this.If it is true that the name Jia Qing is no longer used, Jia Jing has never engraved the name Jia Qing on the genealogy...

Then what does he mean by holding this matter these days?It can't be just to see their jokes, right?
Sure enough, Jia Jing said in an unquestionable tone: "Jia's clan, the eldest family's direct descendant, the fourth generation descendant ranks second, Jia Jue!

Jia Qing, my son of Jia Shaomu! "

Shaomu is Jia Jing's word.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was puzzled at first, but they slowly came to their senses.

Jia Dairu even stood up straight away, and said, "The patriarch means that the name Jia Qing will continue to be used?"

Jia Jing said with a blank expression: "As I said, the fourth generation of the Jia family only has Jia Jue and no Jia Qing! So, is there anything else that Uncle Dai Ru wants to say?"

"you?!"

He is old but not stupid.What Jia Jing meant was very clear. Since there are no problems in the genealogy, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you clan elders.

Everyone saw that even the oldest Jia Dairu had hit a wall. Although there were still many people who were dissatisfied, they did not speak rashly.Thinking of letting Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and other people in power in the two governments break the situation first.

Jia Jing looked around and said, "Since everyone is fine, let's stop today's business."

With that said, it was time to serve tea as a gift.

Jia Amnesty came here today entirely with the mentality of watching the excitement.He didn't care about the clan or not, as long as it didn't affect him, he didn't bother to bother, anyway, Rongguo Mansion was now headed by Jia Zheng.What's more, he was still thinking about getting a maid from Jia Qing, and he was happy to show favor, so he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Jia Jing's gesture can be regarded as expressing his attitude clearly.Seeing that most of today's affairs can only be discussed here, Jia Zheng stood up and said:

"Since that's the case, it's getting late, so let's go back first."

After Jia Zheng said so, although Jia Dairu, Jia Zi and others felt unwilling, they had no choice but to do so, and they all got up one after another.

Jia Jing also stood up to see him off.

But it was said that since Jiazi left the Jia family's meeting room, he did not leave the mansion with everyone, but quietly went to the accountant of Ningguo Mansion while others were not paying attention.

The accounting office of Ningguo Mansion is a building next to Ning'an Hall, and it occupies a large area. In addition to the places such as coming out of the closet on the front, there are several rooms on the side, which are places for the clan stewards to rest.

At this time, in one of the rooms, Jia Zhen was drinking tea with several of his personal attendants and Xiao Yaoer.

The door was slowly pushed open, revealing a figure.

"Third uncle, you are here."

Jia Zhen quickly stood up with a smile on her face and said hello.

It was Jazi who came.

Although Jia Zhen called him Third Uncle, he didn't have the restraint of an elder at all, and said with a flattering expression: "Zhen'er, the discussion over there in the conference hall is over."

Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, and she said, "How did it turn out?"

Although he has been in a bad mood for a long time, he still hopes to hear the news that Jia Jing has been compromised and corrected his own mistakes.

Jiazi's expression became a little embarrassing, and he said, "The name has changed, but it's not really a change."

Jia Zhen frowned and said, "What's going on? Third uncle, please tell me carefully."

So Jia Zi told Jia Zhen what happened in the meeting hall in detail.

After half a stick of incense.

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Jia Zhen growled.He didn't dare to imagine that Jia Jing could mess around like this, all the children of the Jia family and his Jia Jing's son were all farting.

It's just deception and self-deception.

Jia Zi observed Jia Zhen's thoughts, and after thinking about it, an idea came to his mind.

"Zhen'er, why don't you go to the West Mansion and talk to the old lady over there. With the honor of the old lady, she will definitely be able to subdue elder brother. When the time comes, won't you be able to fulfill your wish?"

Jia Zhen half-believingly asked, "Can it work?"

He knew that Mother Jia had been out of charge for more than twenty years, and she only cared for her in the Rongguo Mansion.

Moreover, I heard that Mother Jia also likes Jia Qing very much.Every time he went back to pay his respects, he could only say a few words in vernacular and then told him to go out.And if Jia Qing went, I heard that Jia's mother would stay and play with her for fun.

So, would Mother Jia be willing to come forward to suppress Jia Jing?
Jazi is very confident.He said: "It's definitely possible! Although the old lady doesn't care about things, who would dare to underestimate her? Thinking back when the Duke of the Kingdom was still alive, Jia's house was completely respected by Rong Guo!
At that time, the Jia family was walking outside, but no one dared to underestimate them.But with such a large family business, the old lady manages everything in an orderly manner... Especially after the Duke of the Kingdom rested in his later years, he even took control of the entire Rongguo Mansion, and there was no mistake at all!
However, although the old lady is easy-going, she is also the most disciplined person.There are not a few clansmen who were taught and punished by him back then..."

Jazi's voice was inexplicable when he said this.In fact, he was one of the people who were dealt with harshly by Jia Mu back then.At that time, he was still very young and stubborn by nature, but he said a few words that should not have been said, which somehow reached Jiamu's ears.

So, he was locked in a dark room by his equally asshole father, and he was not given food for a few days... Whenever he thought of those days, he felt inexplicably terrified.

Jia Zhen thought it was reasonable.Besides, there was no one else who could restrain his father.

But he still had his own thoughts, and he only heard Jia Zhen say: "I don't think it's better than this, third uncle, after you go back, go to Dairu Grandpa and ask him to bring some elders from the clan to the old lady's place tomorrow morning. Third uncle will follow , beat the side drum beside me, complained by the way, and told the old lady everything about my father's reckless behavior."

Jiazi hesitated when he heard this.Then I heard Jia Zhen say: "Don't worry, third uncle, as long as third uncle handles this matter well, after I take charge of Ningguo Mansion, third uncle's blessing will naturally be indispensable!"

Jiazi's eyes brightened instantly when he heard this, and he stopped hesitating immediately, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Zhen'er, third uncle will definitely take care of this matter for you!"

With a smile on Jia Zhen's face, she stood up and said, "Then I'll wait for good news from third uncle..."

Watching Jia Zi leave, the smile on Jia Zhen's face gradually faded.If Jia's mother stepped forward to suppress Jia Jing, Jia Jing's reputation would definitely be discredited. By that time, maybe he, Jia Zhen, would be able to take charge of the Ningguo Mansion in a fair manner.

So, at this time, how could he hold the knife himself?
Just when Jia Zhen was proud of herself, she didn't know that there was another figure quietly leaving behind Jia Zi's departure through the corridor outside the house...
