Chapter 153: The determination to forgive the great master
When the court angel suddenly came to Rongguo Mansion, the entire mansion was immediately in chaos. However, Jia She was calm and prepared. While opening the central door to welcome the angel, he instructed the servants in the mansion to place the incense table and other items.
After everything was ready, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian knelt in front of the incense table. The old lady Jia Mu and a group of female relatives were waiting in the Rongxi Hall. The atmosphere was extremely tense and solemn. The maids waiting in the room were waiting.
He didn't even dare to take a breath.
Outside, the angel had already unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly: "By Heaven's decree, the emperor is appointed..., Jia Lian, the son of the first-class general, succeeds to the title of third-class divine power general. I hereby express my gratitude!"
"Thank you, Lord Long!"
Jia She looked calm and kowtowed first to thank the emperor for his "great kindness". He ignored Jia Zheng, who looked dazed and pale, and his cheap son Jia Lian, who was full of joy but a little distracted, and sent the angel away politely.
"Sir, the old lady invites you!"
When he came back, Yuanyang, the capable maid beside the old lady, was already waiting there. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, her face full of shock and uneasiness.
What happened today was really beyond her expectation, and she didn't know how to comment on it.
The eldest master actually passed on the title of title to the second master Lian without saying a word!
Such a change will definitely trigger a new round of division of power in the government. I just don’t know what the old lady is thinking?
But no matter what the old lady thinks, this matter has been confirmed by the imperial edict, but it cannot be changed.
"I also happen to have something that I want to talk to the old lady about!"
Jia She's brows and eyes were calm, and he smiled at Jia Zheng, who still looked dazed, as if he had not yet recovered from the sudden blow. He chuckled and said: "Younger brother, let's go together!"
Jia Zheng nodded numbly, as if he had lost his soul, and followed Jia She with stiff steps, feeling confused and filled with fear deep inside.
a bolt from the blue!
The news brought by the angel was really like a bolt from the blue to him!
He did not expect that it was his eldest brother Jia She who took the initiative to relinquish the title. He thought this was the current emperor's true thoughts. He was full of doubts but also panic. He didn't know where the future would be.
Although the old lady did not call her by name, Jia Lian, who was now the master of Rong Mansion and a third-class Shenwei general, consciously followed his father and second uncle honestly. His mood was agitated and his thoughts were churning. He did not expect that his father was so decisive and transferred the title to
He gave it up without hesitation.
The three men here have their own thoughts, and things are also in chaos over there at Rongxi Hall!
The news reached the ears of the female relatives, and the old lady Jia Mu's face turned extremely ugly. In an instant, she understood that this matter must be related to the eldest son, and maybe it was the eldest son's handiwork.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt and nephew Wang Xifeng had different expressions. Mrs. Wang seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt from the blue, her face was drained of blood, her body shook and she almost fell, causing the confidants and maids next to her to exclaim.
Wang Xifeng was surprised and happy. She suddenly remembered what Lian Er had said to her a few days ago, and she felt a sudden rush in her heart. She didn't know what it felt like.
But no matter what, the three female masters in Rongxi Hall knew in their hearts that the world in this mansion was about to change.
As an embarrassing and transparent person, Mrs. Xing was filled with gloating at this time. Mrs. Wang, her sister-in-law, had always embarrassed her in the past. She must be unlucky this time. She deserved it!
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian came in. The old lady's face turned cold and shouted angrily: "Boss, you are a traitor, why don't you kneel down!"
"What does the old lady want to do?"
Unexpectedly, Jia She, who had always behaved foolishly and filially, did not listen to the old lady's words this time. Instead, he sat down on a chair and asked with a smile: "You really don't take my son seriously, in front of the Wang family."
And Xiao Wang’s face must be disrespected by me!”
"You, you, you, you bastard, you still have the nerve to say that!"
Mother Jia's face changed slightly, and she looked at her eldest son Jia She with cold and stern eyes, as well as deep hidden uneasiness, and said angrily: "If you weren't such a treacherous person, would something like this happen today?"
"Don't be angry, old lady. It's my fault that you're so angry!"
Jia She's expression did not change, his heart did not beat, and he turned a blind eye to Jia Mu's eyes as cold as ice knives. He smiled and said, "I am the aristocrat in this house. What's wrong with giving up the title to Lian'er?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she hesitated and said angrily: "Why didn't you inform me in advance about such a big matter?"
Jia She was even more straightforward. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "If I had told you in advance, would the old lady agree?"
"Huh, after all, it's your fault!"
Jia Mu snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "The title of a good first-class general has suddenly become a third-class general. The Rong Mansion has been completely defeated in the hands of a traitor like you!"
As he spoke, his face was filled with sadness and displeasure.
"Brother, how can you talk to your mother like this and not apologize to her?"
Seeing that Jia's mother was sad, Jia Zheng couldn't sit still and hurriedly opened his mouth to express his dissatisfaction to Jia She.
"shut up!"
A sharp light flashed in Jia She's eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Second brother, if you want to know your own identity, are you able to take care of my affairs?"
"Brother, you..."
Jia Zheng was so angry that he blushed and felt embarrassed, but he did not dare to confront Jia She. He was used to being the master of the house and could not control it for a while.
"Boss, you're a traitor, I'm not dead yet!"
Seeing Jia She bullying Jia Zheng, Jia's mother suddenly became angry and shouted with displeasure: "You have done something wrong, why don't you allow your second brother to say it?"
"Yes, uncle, you went too far this time..."
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who had been silent as the backdrop, spoke up and directly slapped Jia She.
"Wang, do you have any say in this place?"
Jia She's eyes turned cold, and he waved his big hand and said unceremoniously: "Ms. Wang, please get out, and Mrs. Wang, please go out too, and Mrs. Xing, please go back too!"
After saying that, he ignored Mrs. Wang's extremely ugly expression and smiled at Mother Jia, who had an unkind expression: "Old lady, it's time to explain some things clearly!"
Mother Jia's expression was stern, and she took a deep look at her eldest son. Seeing that he didn't care, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, knowing that what was supposed to come would eventually come, and weakly waved her hand to signal Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others to leave.
Mrs. Wang was quite unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey Jia Mu's wishes, so she had no choice but to leave with Wang Xifeng and Xing.
After driving all the maids in the house away, Jia Mu then said with a cold face: "Tell me, I want to see what you, the rebellious son, have to say?"
"Old lady, you have endured enough for now!"
Jia She's expression did not change, and he did not notice any change in Jia Mu's attitude. He chuckled and said, "If we don't take advantage of the fact that the Supreme Emperor is getting older and more kind-hearted, how long will we have to wait?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Jia Mu's face changed drastically, and she asked eagerly: "Are you sure?"
"Three years ago, the Supreme Emperor summoned Prince Yizhong for the first time, and his love for him has not diminished over the past three years!"
Jia She smiled leisurely and said: "I have been observing for three years, and then I took action decisively until there were no problems!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Mother Jia looked relaxed and glanced at Jia Zheng and Jia Lian who were looking confused. She suddenly felt angry and said angrily: "That's it, there's no need to give up the title!"
Jia She didn't take it seriously and said: "I'd better not stay in my position and obstruct the eyes of my superiors, and if I don't take the opportunity to leave early, will I wait for the superiors to remember to deal with me ruthlessly?"
Today, the Lord is not a merciful Lord, but has a cold and hard temper.
When Jia Mu heard this, she pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Why is this so? The power of the four great families in Jinling is not a vegetarian. The emperor must also be concerned about it!"
"Old lady, let's not mention the four great families of Jinling. I get so angry when I talk about this!"
Waving his hand, Jia She suddenly pointed at Jia Zheng and said angrily: "I gave this trash a full twenty years, but in the end, he ruined a good deck of cards!"
Jia Zheng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"What's the meaning?"
Jia She was angry, shook his head and sneered: "Twenty years ago, the resources in the mansion were so rich, but twenty years later, the mansion has become an empty frame. Only the plaque at the door can bluff people, and all other resources are useless."
It was wasted on you bastard!"
"Brother, why did you say this?"
In front of his nephew, being reprimanded by his eldest brother Jia She, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face turned red and he asked angrily.
"You still have the nerve to say this!"
Seeing Jia Zheng being like this, Jia She was furious and sneered: "Why did Wang Ziteng get up? Didn't he just use the resources in the government to raise it?"
Jia Zheng opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His eyes flickered and he felt guilty.
"You loser, even if you want to use the resources of the palace to help Wang Ziteng get promoted, you still have to publicize it at the critical moment so that outsiders know that his rise is the result of the palace's efforts!"
Jia She expressed his hatred for iron and said angrily: "No matter how high the prince rises, he can only follow the baton of the palace, instead of letting the Wang family cross over and become the four great families of Jinling."
The leader!”
The leader of the Four Families of Jinling is not just a name, it involves huge interests, and can mobilize a lot of resources of the four families, whether it is official resources or financial support, it is quite amazing.
After hearing his elder brother's severe accusation, Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he dared not speak.
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this. When did his man, who had always been lustful and mediocre, become so domineering?
At the same time, he was shocked by the information he just heard. It turned out that Wang Ziteng's rise relied entirely on the resources of the Jia family!
For some reason, he suddenly recalled in his mind that when his wife spoke about the Wang family, she always used a superior tone of hurtful words, and a raging anger suddenly arose in his heart.
"Okay, these things are in the past. There's no point in holding on to it any longer, boss!"
Jia Mu opened her mouth to break the awkward atmosphere, but the look of loss and disappointment on her face clearly showed that she was not as relaxed as she said.
"Now that the old lady has said this, I am too lazy to continue to dwell on this!"
Jia She shook his head, then changed the topic and continued to find fault with Jia Zheng...
