In Rongqing Hall, Jia Rong found a chair and sat down, and explained with a chuckle: "The old lady should also understand the situation at that time!"
"Prince Zhongshun plotted against me and the master, and we were almost beaten by them. If we hadn't reacted violently, others would have thought that Ning Mansion was easy to bully!"
"It's just that this matter must involve the noble family, even today, otherwise who would be willing to help Ning Mansion?"
"Under such circumstances, it is natural that the Rong Mansion should not be involved immediately. It is really inappropriate!"
"It would be too unfair if the outside world has bad thoughts and thinks that Ning Rong and the two houses are working together to create a monster!"
The explanation was so reasonable that even Jia Mu, who was about to have a fit, had to nod her head in approval.
There are some things that don’t need to be said, and everyone actually knows them.
Like this court turmoil, it is no joke.
The impeachment memorial of the Ning Mansion was directly aimed at Prince Zhongshun, and at the same time brought down the Xungui family and the current generation.
As long as there is a problem with one of the links, Ning Mansion will not be able to live with it.
The Rong Mansion would not easily participate in such a high-risk behavior, nor could it afford it.
Otherwise, Lian Er's previous incident would not have been revealed so easily.
In fact, it would be best if the Ning Mansion did not inform the Rong Mansion. If it were informed in advance, would the Rong Mansion be better off participating in the matter, or should it be better to just pretend that they don’t know?
At that time, Rongfu will be passive no matter what.
The greatest possibility is that there will be a rift between Ning Rong and Ning Rong's house. This is a situation that Jia's mother Titie does not want to see.
At the moment, using this Qiu Hou to settle accounts is just a matter of finding a reason.
"Old lady, no one expected before that in order to appease the noble family, I would be directly asked to be promoted to a noble rank without being demoted!"
"You must know that the master was seriously injured at that time and was definitely disabled. The inheritance of the title of Ning Mansion has reached the final moment, and he has taken a huge risk!"
Jia Rong kept up his efforts and said slowly: "If I only inherited a fifth-grade title, Ning Mansion would basically have become the bottom of the noble family!"
"Although Ning Rong's Second Mansion has declined, it cannot decline so quickly!"
"Even if the Ning Mansion is in trouble, the Rong Mansion must not collapse with it now!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jia Mu's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Why is it that it won't collapse even if it collapses? Isn't it good now?"
"Yes, yes, Ning Mansion is indeed lucky!"
Jia Rong said happily: "Every time I think about the danger at that time, I can't sleep well at night!"
"It's over, don't think too much about it!"
Jia's mother sighed: "This time, Prince Zhongshun's palace has been punished so hard that he will have to be honest for at least ten years!"
Ah!
This judgment is really accurate.
In The Story of Red Mansions, isn't it exactly ten years later that Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan, who was raised by Prince Zhongshun, became friends?
After all, Prince Zhongshun is an orthodox member of the royal family. As long as he does not take the initiative to raise a flag to rebel, even if it is to maintain face, he will not be easily touched.
At most, it would just weaken the power of Prince Zhongshun.
But this is definitely not a good thing for the forces that have enmity with Prince Zhongshun.
Once Prince Zhongshun lives long enough, for some forces, he will definitely be a tiger on his side, and even sleep will be uneasy.
Seeing that Jia Rong was silent, Jia's mother didn't take it seriously. She changed the subject and asked, "Since Brother Rong, you are already the head of the Jia clan in the capital, do you have any plans for the future?"
Obviously, the previous explanation or deception had quite an effect.
At least, although Jia Mu's intentions are poor, her attitude is still quite kind.
Don't you just want to share the power of the clan? Is there anything you can't say clearly?
"I don't have any plans for the time being, but I'm just following Xiao Gui!"
Jia Rong smiled and said: "At my age now, it is impossible for me to go to war. I'd better focus on stability!"
"That's not okay!"
Jia Mu frowned and said, "If it were normal, this would be the best thing to do!"
"But right now, our Jia family has just gone through something. If we don't show anything, it will be easy for outsiders to look down upon us!"
"Then what should we do according to the old lady's wishes?"
Jia Rong smiled softly and asked: "I think the old lady knows the situation in the clan, but she doesn't know what to do?"
"Brother Rong, how about letting your second uncle Zheng participate in the management of clan affairs?"
Jia Mu did not answer, but changed the subject and said: "After all, your second uncle Zheng has been an official for many years and has rich experience!"
You have a lot of experience sitting on the bench!
I don’t know if it’s because she is too young that Jia Mu is too lazy to hide anything.
However, Jia Rong didn't care about this and said directly: "Old lady, Uncle Zheng works as a demolition officer at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, so he definitely doesn't have any leisure time on weekdays!"
"Uncle Shen, on the other hand, happens to have nothing to do and can help manage the affairs of the clan. What do you think?"
"No!"
Mother Jia's face turned gloomy and she objected categorically, saying angrily: "It's not convenient to ask Uncle She, and he's not capable enough to help manage the affairs of the clan!"
Tsk!
I knew that the old lady was very prejudiced against big houses, but I didn't expect that she would be so biased.
If Mr. Pardon were to find out, I'm afraid he would be furious.
Jia Rong pretended that she didn't hear anything and asked directly: "Old lady, what you mean by clan affairs..."
You can't interfere in everything, right?
Mother Jia had a faint smile on her face and said slowly: "Brother Rong, you may not know that there are many people in the Jingcheng clan who live in the Rong Mansion!"
"The old woman has no other idea. She just hopes to bring these clansmen who rely on Rong Mansion for survival into the hands of your second uncle Zheng. What do you think?"
“I think it’s good!”
Without saying a word, Jia Rong nodded in approval and said, "Since Uncle Zheng is willing to take charge of some of the affairs of the people in the capital, I naturally have no objection!"
"However, I hope these tribesmen will create another roster. From now on, the tribe will not be responsible for their annual festivals and their share of the festival fields!"
"Don't worry, old lady, Uncle Zheng is willing to help share some of the clan's responsibilities, and I will definitely not hold you back!"
"A fixed account book will be sent to the capital every year for the harvest from the sacrificial field. At that time, the account will be reconciled with Uncle Zheng, and then the share will be sent to the Rong Mansion!"
The greatest manifestation of family power is naturally the farmland, which is a fairly stable income and is much more reliable than the farm controlled by the family's children.
The key point is that even if a serious crime is committed and the mansion is confiscated, the court will not easily touch the sacrificial fields. This is the last guarantee for a family.
Jia Rong was very straightforward. Since Jia Mu wanted to get involved in the clan power, she might as well be more generous and open an opening first to let Jia Mu see the hope of taking control of part of the sacrificial land...
