Although the little princess always calls herself "young master", she is actually just a little girl. Now that she is attracted to Jia Lian, can Jia Lian escape?
It seems that Jia Lian, a "noble descendant", will soon be upgraded to a "relative of the emperor".
This man is young, promising, capable, and lucky. It seems that my relationship with him before was a great move.
Feeling secretly proud in his heart, Wei Tongguang said:
"Since my dear brother knew that Xue Pan was a fugitive murderer, why didn't he drive him out of Jia's house and sever the relationship, which would save trouble?"
Jia Lian naturally heard that asking questions knowingly was a temptation, so he sighed:
"Easier said than done——
The Xue family relies on not our Jia family, but the Wang family.
When my second uncle married Wang Ziteng's sister, our Jia family was still powerful, so naturally the Wang family clung to our Jia family.
Later, my great-uncle surrendered his military power and voluntarily gave up his position as the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp. From then on, the two princes Rong and Ning were able to enjoy their old age with peace of mind. They had less to do with the affairs of the army, and naturally there was less contact between the old and the old.
.
Nowadays, our Jia family has no power and no old subordinates, but they are just living their lives with virtue. However, Wang Ziteng has been promoted from the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp to the inspector of the nine provinces, a first-rank official, in charge of border defense, and has a heavy army. At this time, how can the Wang family look at the faces of our Jia family?
With the Wang family as a big backer, my second aunt naturally spoke very forcefully in the Jia family.
She wants her sister and her children to live in the Jia family. How can we, the Jia family, escape?
Furthermore, now that the eldest daughter of my second uncle and second aunt has received divine grace in the palace and has been named a virtuous concubine, it should be our Jia family’s honor.
What’s the result? Isn’t it my second aunt’s natal brother, Prince Teng, who has been promoted to an official position?
Not only did our Jia family not get any benefits, but in order to build the Provincial Family House, we emptied the wealth of Rong and Ning Prefectures in vain.
Among them, the Wang family is still a vine, and our Jia family is just a plate of loose sand."
When Wei Tongguang heard this, he felt that what Jia Lian said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"The Wang family is really powerful."
Jia Lian even spread his hands:
"That's not all. As long as our Jia family doesn't take advantage of it, in the future, we will suffer much misfortune."
"Ah? How do you say this?"
"Brother Wei also knows that the population of our Jia family is very small. Among the men in my generation, the only eldest brother in the Rongguo Mansion is me and my younger brother Jia Cong, and the second one only has Baoyu and my younger brother Jia Huan.
I have already married the Wang family as my wife, and now my second aunt is determined to let Baoyu, the legitimate son of the second wife, also marry the daughter of her sister Aunt Xue.
In this way, all the legitimate sons of our Jia family will be manipulated by the Wang family's daughters, and the Jia family will naturally be dominated by the Wang family.
Moreover, the Xue family that my second aunt's sister married was a merchant. If Baoyu married her daughter, the road to the imperial examination would be cut off.
Moreover, by marrying Xue Pan’s sister, Baoyu has a brother-in-law who is a murderer. Whoever has this short-term son in his hands is tantamount to having the short-term son of our Jia family in their hands.”
Wei Tongguang thought secretly:
Of course the emperor is willing to keep this shortcoming of the Jia family in his own hands.
But I don’t know that there is another sentence behind Jia Lian:
"Sigh - if the Wang family is the one who takes advantage of our Jia family's shortcomings, that's what I'm most afraid of."
When Wei Tongguang heard this, his heart suddenly shivered:
Oh, this is true. The emperor only wanted to win over the new hero Wang Ziteng to suppress the old hero Jia family, but he forgot that if the Wang family was allowed to grow bigger, or even let the Wang family coerce and take advantage of the Jia family, he did not put his own family in order to prevent tigers.
The dog became a wolf? The trouble is even greater.
Now that he saw Jia Lian vomiting his bitterness, Wei Tongguang was happy to take the opportunity to ask more questions, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, and poured a glass of wine for Jia Lian:
"Brother, since you have spoken to this extent, I will not hide it. I have heard about it in the palace. The royal family, the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family are all related to each other. If one is harmed, all will be harmed."
, one is prosperous and all is prosperous, all is supported and covered, and all are taken care of.
I heard that in Jinling, there was a man who made up a formula for the names of the most powerful, extremely wealthy and noble local squires and named them "Guan Guan Fu".
"Zuoma'", isn't it the title of "Zunfu"?
Since the royal family, the Wang family, and the Xue family are so close, my brother’s words just now are too narrow-minded.”
When he said these words, his expression and tone were extremely daring. Jia Lian immediately took advantage of his strength and grabbed Wei Tongguang's arm, his face full of sincerity:
"When eldest brother talks about this, it makes people hate him even more!
It was only after Xue Pan came that I heard about the so-called "official protection amulet". This is because the Xue family is using the reputation of our Jia family as a banner.
Brother, please think about it, our Jia family is a founding hero, a noble family, and officials in the same dynasty as the historians and Wang family. His Xue family is a family of merchants, and they are not even worthy to carry shoes for our Jia family. We are willing to lose everything with him.
, one glory, all glory'?
What's more, our Jia family has a total of twenty houses since the second Duke of Ningguo and Rongguo. Now the eight houses of the second Duke of Ning and Rong are all in Beijing.
The twelve people who lived in Jinling, where they were originally from, were all distant relatives, and all came from ordinary families. How could they dominate Jinling?
We Ning, although the descendants of Ergong Rong have little potential, they are extravagant and wasteful and do not know how to be frugal, and they are not motivated by eating, drinking and having fun, but they still want to save face and dare not bully men and dominate women.
On the other hand, the Xue family, since Ziwei gave up to Duke Xue, the descendants of Bafang are all in Jinling. They rely on wealth and power, and they are the local tyrants. Without this confidence, how could Xue Pan dare to kill people in the street without taking it seriously? So this 'official protection amulet' is talked about lively, but in the final analysis, the Jia family, the Shi family, and the Wang family are all using it to bluff people, and in the end they only protect the Xue family.
Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect, so the only ones who made up this 'official protection talisman' to prevent local officials from stopping them from running rampant in the countryside are the Xue family.
Our Jia family and the Xue family are not directly related by marriage. It is the Wang family that has been trying every means to involve our Jia family.
So isn’t this clear? It’s the Wang family, who later became prosperous, and the wealthy Xue family, who want to coerce our Jia family and drag us into their political quagmire.”
.
Jia Lian saw Wei Tongguang's face darken and realized that his words had achieved the effect, so he stopped and shook his head and waved:
"I won't talk anymore. The more I talk, the more I will get upset. If I keep talking, I won't be able to drink this wine."
At the same time, Jia Lian also made up his mind:
Temporarily leaving the Xue family untouched and using the low-energy Xue family with a "gangster" background as a smoke screen will paralyze the emperor's prevention and suppression of the Jia family.
But at the same time, the emperor must also understand that if you don’t win over our Jia family, others will naturally want to win over you.
Sure enough, Wei Tongguang, who was satisfied with what he heard, got off the slope, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's not easy for you."
Juyu blinked her big eyes and suddenly said:
"Then I..."
"Second Master! Second Master!"
Xing'er almost ran up the stairs on hands and knees, shouting in her shrill voice:
"Second Master! Something happened in our family!"
