Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Twelve Marquises

The people around Jia Lian naturally became Jia Lian's younger brothers, greeting him with a smile.

"Second brother, the Jia family is now successful. I congratulate Rongguo Mansion for returning to the list of famous families in these forty-nine cities! I hope that second brother will not forget the brothers!"

"That's it, congratulations, second brother!"

"Congratulations to my second brother, your official career will be prosperous!"

This group of guys who are more or less related to Jia Lian are even more rude;

The three generations of the Daqing Dynasty went around and around, but that wave of people was still on their heads.It's just that some people changed positions and added some seats.

Especially among these nobles, if we really talk about it, everyone is a relative and friend.

The compliments kept coming, almost drowning Jia Lian.

"Second brother's family is getting up. Don't forget to give us a hand in the Liu family of Duke Li's mansion! We are all four bastards!"

Some people are shameless and have already begun to ask for benefits.

Before Jia Lian could reply, the person next to the speaker immediately affirmed.

"Of course, I've asked all over the city, and no one will tell me that my second brother is benevolent and righteous. He is known as the Living Gongming of Liangzhili and the timely rain of North and South Zhili. Second brother has returned to the top ranks of nobles, and he will naturally bring us second-rate people with him. They're just running errands."

The two Zhili refer to Jingcheng and Jinling. The Jia family lives in Jingcheng, but their hometown is Jinling.Therefore, this person now gave Jia Lian such a nickname.

They tried to morally kidnap Jia Lian's help with such secular remarks as, "There is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname."

After saying that, he even gave Jia Lian a thousand dollars and said politely to please him.

"Don't talk about the four bastards. You must know that I, the Marquis of Xiangyang, followed the old man of the Jia family through life and death. The old man was very kind to our Xiangyang Hou Liu family."

He expressed his stance to Jia Lian with a loyal look.

"Now I will follow the family tradition and follow my second brother."

The people of the Liu family of the Marquis of Xiangyang were impassioned, but everyone around them didn't know who was who; when the old masters of these two families died, the Jia family and the Liu family fought for military power. There was no tradition at all.

Hearing the Liu family's concubine speak so seriously, the people around burst into laughter.

"So, second brother will naturally not treat you badly?"

This smile is of course a mockery.

But the Liu family didn't take it seriously and nodded seriously.

"It's natural!"

With such an attitude, Jia Lian didn't know how to answer the call.

This Marquis of Xiangyang is one of the twelve marquises among the four princes, eight princes and twelve marquises.

With Zhongjinghou, Baolinghou, Jinxianghou, Chuanninghou, Pingyuanhou, Dingchenghou, Jintianhou, Baoninghou, Jingtianhou and Shouxianghou.Including the Lin family, the Ziwei family and the Xue family, that's all the twelve noble families.

Among them, the Marquis of Zhongjing is in the same family as the Marquis of Baoling, and the Marquis of Zhongjing is a new title.

But now it's been two or three generations; the friendship between the families wasn't that good before, and now it's even weaker.

In the past, each had their own struggles, but now most of them are attached to King Beijing.

There was no one in their own family who could live up to expectations; the only people who could keep their ancestral marquis titles were the historians of Zhongjinghou and Baolinghou; these two princes were the natal family of Jia Mu in Rongguo Prefecture, the historians.

Others such as Jinxiang Hou have become Jinxiang Bo.These are all relatively well-off; the Lin family has completely lost their titles in Lin Ruhai's generation, and the remaining ones are just generals.

Like the Jia family, they were able to preserve the dignity of the Hou family. They relied on the existence of a superior old Marquise in the family. Therefore, they could hang a plaque of the Hou family high and use the support of the Hou family to call themselves the prince of the Hou family.

This is not considered over the limit.

Just like the Jia family still has Jia Mu, a superb wife of the Duke of Guo, the Jia family is still the residence of the Duke of Guo.

The dignity of the family is entirely supported by women.Jia Lian knew about this relationship, but there was one thing that Jia Lian didn't understand.

"Oh! How can I, Jia Lian, help you get back to the second level! I'm not even a first-rate person!"

Jia Lian did think so himself, but people around him only regarded Jia Lian as being self-effacing.

"Second brother is too modest. You should know that the Xiaochao Society is only as big as a slap in the face. If someone stands on top of it, it is already a top-notch family!"

Jia Lian can understand this.

The so-called small meetings are held for big things, and the general meeting is held for small things. The so-called Xiaochao is a small meeting to decide the direction of the country during the Qing Dynasty. It is usually very informal and settled in the Shangshu room.

The five people gathered together and announced it at the court meeting, and that was it.

If you take each of these five people individually, they are all beings who can make the entire Qing Dynasty tremble with just one stamp of their feet.

Just the list of titles on the forehead, such as Shangshu Ling, Prince Shaobao and other ministers, are numerous. If the memorial were written in full, it would take up three or four pages.

Just looking at the name of the hotel is hard, I don't know how many people I think it must be.

But what does this have to do with the Jia family? Even if Jia Lian balds his relationship, he can't find any relatives of his own!

But before Jia Lian could ask in detail, he continued in a troubled manner.

"Don't say that the second brother can have a relationship with the people in the Xiaochaohui. If there is anyone in my family who can stand firm in the Chaohui, I will burn incense."

This answer made Jia Lian even more confused.

Officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital have to go to court every day.They are all high-ranking officials in charge of one matter in the capital, and at worst they are at the deputy department level.

This is already the top pursuit of second-rate nobles; few nobles have achieved this.

If there is a person in the family who has a firm foothold in the court, let alone him burning incense, Jia Lian will also burn incense.

Hearing what others said, Jia Lian lamented in his heart.

"As long as my father tries his best and becomes the deputy director, do I still need to work hard?"

It's all Jia She's fault for not working hard, so he didn't even have a chance to win.

But before this person could finish his envy, another noble disciple said.

"It's too much! You guys have gone too far. How can you ask my second brother to win you over like this?"

As he spoke, he held Jia Lian's hand and spoke sincerely.

"Second brother, they are not real people; I am real. If second brother gives me a chance to produce one or two people in the family who can go to the imperial court, my family will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

These words surprised Jia Lian even more.

What is it that makes these people have such great expectations of themselves?

Although officials of the seventh rank in the capital must attend the Great Court Meeting once a month, this is not something Jia Lian can arrange.

Jia Lian, a seventh-grade inferior, doesn’t even have the qualifications!

Not to mention their family, Jia Zheng is the only one with this qualification.And because of his status, he is always excluded.

If I had so much power, I would definitely arrange it for my father first.

Which one do you think?
But this also exposed the ambition of this group of people. This group of nobles is very unwilling to accept their current decline.

At the same time, it also explains the hierarchy of top, second and third-rate nobles.That is to be able to participate in small court gatherings, go to court, and go to large court.

But then again, why on earth do they have such confidence in themselves.

Where did this misunderstanding begin?
