Unfortunately, the eldest son died young.
Perhaps he was very dissatisfied with Jia Zhuzhuyu in front of him, but now he was left with two sons.
One is stubborn and lazy; the other is mediocre and dull, with a wretched temperament.
But in comparison, he still prefers his second son Jia Baoyu.
After all, compared to scrap materials, rough jade with flaws is more worthy of carving!
Therefore, the fact that he hit and scolded Jia Baoyu was actually a manifestation of his eagerness to see his son succeed.
What's more, as Mrs. Wang said before, the eldest brother Jia She has a successor...
He, Jia Zheng, was such a proud man. The person he looked down upon the most in his life was Jia She, who was a model of a drunkard and a womanizer. I hate that God was unfair for giving him such a sensible and progressive son like Lian'er!
Jia Zheng felt that at this point, he really could not and should not lag too far behind his elder brother. Otherwise it would be unfair.
Now that Jia Lian has taken over the lintel of the first house, his second house must also build momentum, otherwise how can he live up to the achievement that took him fifty years to suppress his eldest brother!
With these thoughts in his mind, he also felt that he should be more cautious about Jia Baoyu's marriage.
As a representative of the Jia family, one of the four major families, he certainly knows how important having a capable wife is to a person's future.
Let's just say that for so many years, he had asked his brother Wang Ziteng to help him with many things he had been unable to resolve...
Although Lin Ruhai was quite famous in the court, he was only a civil servant after all, and all his wealth and honor depended on his official position. Once he died or became an official, all the glory and holy family members would disappear.
This is called taking tea to cool down.
Mrs. Wang only knew that Lin Ruhai had been ill for several months, but she did not know that Lin Ruhai had submitted his resignation to the court due to poor health half a month ago, but Emperor Ning Kang had not approved it for the time being.
Lantai Temple is a leisurely yamen, and it would not be a big deal if the chief seal officer slacked off for a few days. Perhaps Emperor Ning Kang wanted to wait a little longer to see if Lin Ruhai's illness could get better.
But according to his observation, it is difficult.
Based on the current situation of the Lin family, once something unexpected happens to Lin Ruhai, the Lin family can be considered to have completely bid farewell to the upper class scholars.
Jia Zheng frowned and saw that Mrs. Wang next to him was slightly happy. Knowing that she was happy to persuade him, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy. He asked: "What's the use of telling me this? What the old lady means, you don't mean it."
I know. Since you don’t want to agree to this marriage, how do you respond to the old lady?”
Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Zheng had been persuaded by him, but she just didn't want to disobey Jia's mother and let her solve these troublesome problems.
She had known that Jia Zheng was useless on these issues, and all she asked was that Jia Zheng not hold back.
"Of course I understand what the old lady means. But the old lady loves Baoyu the most. How could she not understand the reason?
In my opinion, the reason why the old lady has not made this matter clear for so long is because she has these worries and considerations in her heart.
After all, even if the old lady feels sorry for her granddaughter, there is no need to promise her to Baoyu. In the future, when Lin Yatou grows up, it will not be a better choice to find another suitable husband for her.
What do you think, Master?"
"Since you are successful, I won't care about this matter." Jia Zheng shook his sleeves and agreed with Mrs. Wang's statement.
The couple talked about the details again, and Jia Zheng suddenly said: "Now that the garden behind is about to be completed, there is no need to delay it. Today, Lin Zhixiao told me that the money in the treasury has been spent again, so he asked me
Where to use the money next, I have nothing to say back to him for the time being..."
"Master, don't be anxious. Zhen's daughter-in-law in Dongfu has agreed to give us the remaining 30,000 taels of silver in the treasury. I think they will be counted and delivered in the next two days."
"Yeah." Jia Zheng nodded, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the house.
