When Jiao Da heard that "Jiao Da is loyal, the Lai family is traitorous," he burst into tears:
"My old master is still the most sage... My old master knows that the person I, Jiao Da, admire the most is Grandpa Yue Feiyue who 'serves the country with loyalty and loyalty'. Qin Hui, the traitorous minister who killed a thousand swords, killed Grandpa Yue... My sage is my old master..." .
Jia Lian cried loudly when he saw Jiao Da at this time, which was indeed his true feelings, but Jia Lian's principle of doing things has always been "don't look at what he says, only look at what he does." Jia Lian still doesn't like Jiao Da that much
:
This Jiao Da was called "Qu Yuan of Jia Mansion" by Lu Xun. It seems that he is the "great loyal minister" who cares most about the honor and disgrace of Jia Mansion.
But the fact is that, except for saving Jia Yan when he was fourteen years old, everything he did in the following sixty years was "destructive". He was not a person himself.
"Constructive" people.
He was arrogant and lawless. He relied on his past achievements to become an arrogant and domineering old bully in the Jia family. He drank and went crazy every day and lived into his seventies and eighties without shame. In addition to bringing shame to the Jia family, he
What can you do?
It's not that the Jia family doesn't want to repay his kindness, it's that the Jia family simply doesn't know how to accommodate him.
If you ask him to be a housekeeper, he won't be able to do it. If you raise him well, he will make endless troubles.
Jia Lian has never seen what Jiao Da was like when he was young, but his current "old and shameless" virtue cannot make people respect him anyway.
.
Jia Lian was not used to Jiao Da, so he suddenly asked with a straight face:
"Jiao Da, my great-grandfather told me that you are loyal, but I want to ask you why you, a loyal minister like Yue Fei, have not done anything good to the Jia family in the past sixty years.
Have you ever done it?
Have you ever seen Yue Fei who only drinks and makes trouble every day?
Did my great-grandfather misjudge you?"
Now, Jiao Da was embarrassed.
He grinned widely, with tears and snot still hanging on his face, but he could only blink his bell-like eyes, speechless.
Jia Lian showed no mercy and continued to press:
"Lai Er is a treacherous villain like Qin Hui, because he eats and drinks from the Jia family, and also cheats and ruins the Jia family.
You, Jiao Da, are a loyal minister like Yue Fei, but don't you also eat and drink from the Jia family, and you also cheat and destroy the Jia family?
You rely on your old age and sell your old age, don't care whether the scandal is true or false, you have everything and don't have anything, and you are shouting everywhere, you are shameless, the Jia family is shameless? Your old master is shameless?
In the eyes of outsiders, doesn't the Jia family become a place where there are no royal laws? It's not you who is being laughed at, but your old master who is blind. Is this something Yue Fei can do?"
.
Jia Lian's words are heart-breaking.
Jiao Da, who regarded himself as "Yue Fei", completely collapsed.
He was stunned for a while, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and howled:
"I'm not a human...I'm sorry, old master...I'm a bastard..."
He suddenly opened his bow from left to right, and slapped his loud mouth twelve times in a row, making his ugly face full of wrinkles swell until it swelled up, making it even more shockingly ugly.
He opened his mouth wide, bared his yellow teeth, and cried loudly:
"Old master... when you were leaving, you said you were useless, Jiao Da... Don't live too long in the future without me protecting you... Old master... Jiao Da, you bastard..." .
That's right! Jia Lian didn't advise him. This kind of person just cried too little and was beaten too little before, so he would be stupid every day.
Jia Lian sat on the futon on the ground and looked at the memorial tablets of the Jia family's ancestors. When he saw the memorial tablet of Jia Yuan, Jia Lian couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
Are you saying that I am a descendant of Jia Yuan, Duke of Rongguo?
In other words, this old boy Jia Yuan is messing around outside and secretly gives birth to a wild boy? Then the child and his descendants will suffer from poverty and no good life for dozens of lives? This is really a crime.
.
Now let me, a descendant of a wild boy, come back and become the fourth-generation grandson of Jia Yuan. He said that he would provide me with all this wealth. But what about the "working people of the Jia family" who have been in the middle for dozens of generations?
?They deserve to suffer?
Jia Lian felt a sore nose when he thought of the tragic life of his grandfather Jia Buquan and his father Jia Xinhua.
Maybe... I should look for the descendant of Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan's family? What if there is a butterfly effect, will it change the fate of future generations?
Then the descendant of Jia Yuan’s family, that is, my ancestor? No, my relative... How do we calculate this relationship?
Jia Lian was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from his ears:
"Second Master Lian...Second Master Lian...you...are you bumping into another guest again?"
"I hit your mother's brother and brother-in-law!"
Jia Lian was so frightened that he cursed before he could recover.
Jiao Da was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed:
"Old master, little Jiao Da, kowtow to the old master!"
.
Jia Lian suddenly remembered that he heard the old prime minister Yao Qianzhi say in Gusu that both the Dukes of Rong and Ning had a martial arts background. His younger brother, Duke Rong, Jia Yuan, was more elegant, and Duke Ning, Jia Yan, was a thorough master.
He is a rough man who always uses vulgar words to curse people. Emperor Taizu himself said that when the war got tense, Jia Yan even scolded him.
It's just that the old prime minister Yao Qianzhi is a scholar, so he naturally can't tell what swear words Jia Yan has cursed, so Jia Lian doesn't know how wonderful Jia Yan's verbal curses are.
Jia Lian had no choice but to shut up again and continued to look at the memorial tablet for a while, then he shouted "Jiao Da" as if he was just waking up from a dream.
Jiao Da hurriedly kowtowed:
"The ineffectiveness lies in the greatness."
Jia Lian was shocked and said:
"Don't kneel, get up quickly.
You are the person my great-grandfather used to mobilize his troops. From birth, to merit, to seniority, who in this house can compare with you?"
Jiao Da was a little at a loss, so he just got up and lowered his head to listen to Jia Lian continue:
"Nowadays, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a while to use it. There are some things that you have to do.
My great-grandfather said that in the early years, the households in Ning and Rongfu in western Liaoning were originally the same, with sixteen villages. The Dawu family in Heishan Village was in charge of the land of Ningguo Mansion, and the Xiaowu family in Heishui Village was in charge of Rongguo Mansion.
The land is only more than a hundred miles apart.
But now the situation is getting worse year by year, and the descendants of Ningguo Mansion are not living up to expectations. There are only nine Zhuangzi left, and less than half of the land is left.
Although the Rongguo Mansion said there was no shortage of villages and land, Wu Jinzhong from Heishui Village used the excuse that the harvest was not good every year, and turned in less and less every year. Every year, at least half of the villages reported no harvest due to drought or floods.
.
My great-grandfather couldn't stand it anymore and said he would ask you to be the 'general village head'.
Firstly, I am in charge of the two village heads Wu Jinzhong and Wu Jinxiao, and I want to catch those two old beheaders who are causing trouble. Secondly, I want you to lead people to reclaim wasteland and open up territory for the Jia family." p>
When Jiao Dalian was asked to be the "general village head", Jiao Dalian nodded and said:
"Back then, everyone in the Wu family was afraid of me. I can do this."
But when he heard "reclaiming wasteland", Jiao Dalian shook his head and grinned:
"Creating wasteland is a hard job, and even poor tenant farmers are unwilling to do it."
"What do you want tenants for?"
Jia Lian knew that once he said the following words, he would be in trouble.
