This old lady from Rongguo Mansion is really no ordinary old lady.
As the legitimate daughter of Marquis Shi, the wife of Rongguo Gong, despite being in the inner house and never leaving the house, she has gone through the Jia family's decades of prosperity and decline, with all the vicissitudes and dangers, to be able to be as peaceful as she is now.
, in fact, we have already understood the world.
When she married into Jia's family, Jia's mother-in-law, as a great-grandson's daughter-in-law, had her father-in-law and mother-in-law, great-grandfather-in-law, great-grandmother and mother-in-law, sisters and sisters-in-law, and hundreds of servants.
The grandson and great-grandson’s daughter-in-law will hand over the family property to the grandson and grandson’s daughter-in-law.
He was able to manage the family internally and be courteous to others. He was able to give birth to children without hesitation. He even treated her husband Jia Daishan's six concubines with kindness and handled them appropriately.
Judging from all the things Jia Mu did, Wang Xifeng, who was known for his shrewdness and hard work, was really thrown off the streets.
Such an old lady, do most people want to deceive her?
Dream!
.
But is Jia Lian an ordinary person?
If you are stopped by this sentence, and you don’t know how to deal with it, how can you still call it Jia Lian?
Jia Lian must not only be able to cope with it, but also be able to cope with it well, so as to lay the foundation for his next step.
This is the skill.
Ability that ordinary people don’t have.
.
Jia Lian's reaction was first surprised, then hesitant, and then finally let out a long sigh, knelt down in front of Jia Mu and said:
"If the old lady asks her grandson what she wants, and the grandson doesn't answer truthfully, that would be unfilial.
But...if my grandson told me, firstly, I don’t know whether I should reveal the secret, and secondly, I’m afraid that the old lady would worry too much.
If this makes the old lady worried, wouldn’t it be the grandson’s fault? I’m afraid the ancestors can’t spare the grandson.”
As soon as Jia Mu heard this, she knew that there was a profound meaning in it, but she still kept a straight face and said:
"Don't come here and act mysterious in front of me.
Just tell the truth, what have I not experienced?
As long as it's a big deal and it's solved through discussion, there's nothing to worry about.
But if you refuse to tell me, you don’t even have eyes for me. You can just go back now, and I won’t dare to accept your kneeling.”
When Jia Lian heard this, his heart immediately turned like lightning:
It seems that since the old lady is determined to ask for an answer today, it will not be easy for him to get through. Rather than risk offending the old lady, it is better to go with the flow.
Although the old lady has retired and has little power in the Rongguo Mansion, her status in the Jia family is high, and she is the real "Dinghai Shenzhen".
In the whole family, as long as Jia Mu is your strong backing, many things you have to do will be much easier and smoother. Why not do it?
But some means must be used to convince the old lady without causing trouble to himself.
In just an instant, Jia Lian had already made up his mind.
So Jia Lian immediately smiled and said:
"I dare not disobey what the old lady said, but this matter is indeed a bit mysterious. If I just say it like this, I'm afraid the old lady won't believe it."
Jia Mu relaxed her expression, pulled Jia Lian up and sat next to her:
"I know you are a sensible child. As long as you tell the truth to me, I will naturally believe you.
These days, I have been watching with cold eyes. I know that everything you do is for the good of the Jia family.
In this case, why can't you be honest with me?
At my age, I always feel uneasy, which is what worries me the most.”
The old lady's back and forth words, one hit and one pull, were quite precise.
.
Jia Lian lowered his head and thought for a while, and seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying:
"Then the grandson will tell you everything. If the old lady really doesn't believe it, there is nothing the grandson can do."
Jia Mu didn't say anything, she just took Jia Lian's hand and held it tighter.
Jia Lian raised his head, looked into Jia Mu's eyes, and said seriously:
"When it comes to this matter, my grandson didn't believe it himself at first.
How could Duan Duan dream about the spirit of Ning and Rong Ergong?
Moreover, the two ancestors also told me in their dreams:
'My family has been famous and rich since the founding of the country. Although it has lasted for hundreds of years, although there are many descendants left behind, there are only few successors.
The day before yesterday, I saw that my grandson Baoyu was smart and intelligent and had some hope of success, so I begged Fairy Jing Huan to warn him in his dream about his stubbornness and to lead him to the right path. However, the idiot has a perverse nature and strange emotions. He has never understood it and is quite disappointed.<
/p>
My brother couldn't bear to see the Jia family's fortune finally run out and reach an irreversible situation, so he had no choice but to retreat and settle for the next best thing, and then come back and try to find you again.
Although you have indulged in lust and lust before, if you can repent and rebuild your family business, the future is uncertain.’”
When Jia Mu heard Jia Lian talk about Ning and Rong Ergong in such a tone, it was really not the way Jia Lian usually spoke, and she couldn't help but wonder:
Could it be that the ancestors really appeared in dreams and warned the descendants of the Jia family?
But I heard Jia Lian continue:
"Don't say that the old lady may not believe these words, but my grandson didn't believe them at the time anyway.
In particular, the two ancestors also said that after the third generation of the Jia family, my generation will soon be confiscated."
"Ah?"
The word "property confiscation" scared Jia Mu so much that she trembled all over.
"What did you say? What about confiscating your home?"
Mother Jia's always gentle and steady eyes suddenly showed a look of horror - the descendants of Rong Guogong will have their homes confiscated after only three generations? Isn't this a disaster? Is this a big deal?
Jia Lian also shook his head and said:
"My grandson was also very frightened in his dream, so he asked the two ancestors.
Rong Gong said: "Anything that is unethical or disrespectful will come out of glory, but it is peaceful to start a fight.
Ever since Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law’s over-made coffin was used as the source of trouble, the situation has been devastated.’”
When Mother Jia heard "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law's coffin", she immediately thought of the dangerous situation on the day of Qin Keqing's funeral, and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Then I heard about the "Three Spring Festivals" and secretly wondered: Could it mean that there are only three years left before the house confiscation?
But after all, Jia's mother was very nurturing. She knew that the more she wanted to know something, the less eager she was to ask questions, so she just looked at Jia Lian with encouraging eyes.
Sure enough, Jia Lian continued:
"What shocked my grandson even more was that Rong Gong read this paragraph:
‘The humble room was empty, but in those days the bed was full of wats;
Withered grass and withered poplars, it was once a singing and dancing venue.
Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green gauze is now stuck on the canopy windows.
How can you say that when your hair is thick and your powder is fragrant, your temples will turn into frost?
Yesterday there were bones in the loess, and tonight there are mandarin ducks under the red light tent.
A box full of gold, a box full of silver, a beggar with an open eye is slandered by everyone.
I am sighing that others will not live long, but I know that I will be mourned when I return!
If you train well, you will not be able to become a strong leader in the future;
Who chooses to live in Fireworks Alley?
Because he thought the gauze hat was too small, he had to carry the shackles;
Yesterday I felt sorry for the coldness of my broken coat, but now I think the purple python is too long.
Luan Hengheng, you just finished singing and I appeared on the stage, and I recognized the foreign country as my hometown.
It’s so ridiculous. In the end, you are just making wedding clothes for others.’
My grandson's heart froze when he heard such words."
.
"Today's Jia family, although it can still be seen from the outside, is already riddled with holes inside. It cannot be hidden from others, nor from the ancestors."
Jia's mother sighed deeply and looked at Jia Lian's clear and shrewd eyes. After a long while, she finally asked again:
"Ning, Rong Ergong said that Baoyu is smart and wise, why don't you enlighten him?"
