Among the clan members of the Jia family, Ningrong and Rongfu did not say anything. These people and Jia Ke have experienced both glory and disgrace. Moreover, Jia Ke has served as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department over the years. Ningrong and Rongfu have benefited the most, but those
But the side branches complained one by one.
"Eldest brother is too arrogant and domineering. Sometimes even the emperor doesn't take him seriously. Why are you being surrounded by soldiers now?" said an old man who was not grey, but with a generational name.
"This is still a small matter. If things go wrong next time, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated."
"No way, this is all done by Jia Ke alone and has nothing to do with us."
"It doesn't matter. You go and say this to the Emperor. See if he believes it or not. No matter what you say, you are all being implicated by your elder brother."
Then everyone began to sigh, saying that it was bad luck that caused such a disaster for the Jia family.
When they complained about Jia Ke here, they annoyed someone, Jia Dairu, who used to teach in the study.
Since the death of his grandson, Jia Dairu has been even less dedicated to the study. He often rests at home, but because of Jia Ke's relationship, his share of the money has never been short. In addition, when Jia Rui was seriously ill, the whole
Only Qin Keqing in the Jia family gave him substantial help. Those old ginsengs, although they did not save Jia Rui's life in the end, they helped him delay for a few more days.
Now when Jia Dairu heard these people keep complaining about Jia Ke, he felt angry and said, "Shut up, all of you. When the eldest brother was in power, you were all more arrogant than him. Which of your families didn't rely on him?"
Has his reputation been taken away by force? Now that he is said to be arrogant and domineering, I think you are the ones who are really arrogant and domineering."
"Dai Ru, what you said is wrong. One person is responsible for his work. Since the eldest brother has offended the emperor by himself, he should be handed over to the emperor to vent his anger. You cannot allow hundreds of members of our Jia family to join him just because of him.
Buried with him."
After hearing his tone, Jia Dairu was so angry that he was speechless.
Jia Zheng couldn't talk to Jia Ke because Jia Ke was his son, but Jia She who was next to him quit. Although Jia She didn't care about the affairs of the Jia family, he was unreasonable and couldn't compare with these people.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't want to be here, get out of here. Don't even look at where this place is. This is the Hall of Rongxi."
"Jia She, please don't be here. The Jia family has become like this now. You have to bear most of the responsibility. If it weren't for your lawlessness, how could we be like this? According to our wishes,
Our Jia family cannot be like this now."
"You ungrateful people, I can see it. Before your eldest brother came to power, all of you were poor and poor. Now look at it, which one of you doesn't own hundreds of acres of farmland? These are all obtained by your own ability."
Are you here? Isn’t it because of the reputation of the elder brother that you can take advantage of it? Now if you want to separate from the elder brother, you should first hand over your family property."
Jia She's words made the clan elders below angry, "Jia She, don't talk nonsense. We bought these fields with the money we have accumulated over many lifetimes. If we don't talk about this now, we will just talk about the things that my eldest brother has done to us."
, your Rongguo Mansion must give us an explanation."
At this moment, someone outside the Rongxi Hall said, "What do you mean?"
Everyone looked back and saw that Jia Mu had already walked into the Hall of Rongxi with the support of several people.
As soon as everyone saw that Jia Mu was coming, they immediately shut up one by one. The person they were most afraid of in the Jia family was actually this old lady. After Jia Daishan passed away, the Jia family was also in turmoil. It was this old lady.
He just supported the Jia family, otherwise there would not have been the rise of Jia Ke in the future.
As soon as Jia Zheng and Jia She saw Jia Mu coming in, they quickly stood up from their seats, took two quick steps to their old mother's side, and helped her sit up on one side and on the other.
With the support of her two sons, Jia Mu came to the center of Rongxi Hall and sat on the main seat.
After Jia's mother sat down, Jia Zheng and Jia She stood on both sides of him, and Jia Zhen quickly stood up and stood beside Jia She. If others could distance themselves from each other, Jia Zhen thought she was so close to Rong Guofu.
I'm afraid it's impossible to clear up the relationship, it's better to go all the way to the dark side.
At this time, other people in the Rongxi Hall came over to pay tribute to Jia Mu.
After everyone bowed, they returned to their respective places. Only then did Jia Mu say to them: "Just now I seemed to hear someone thinking that our Ningrong Second Mansion has dragged them down. Is that so?"
When Jia Mu asked this question, the people below immediately became silent. Although Jia Mu has not cared about the entire Jia family for many years, she is after all the highest-ranking person among the people living now. These people sitting in the hall,
How dare you confront her?
"What's wrong? Didn't everyone have a lot of fun just now? Why are they all mute now?"
Jia Mu sat there and asked several questions, but no one dared to speak out.
Seeing that the people below were shocked, Jia Mu said in a gentle tone: "What a big thing happened, and you all can't hold your breath anymore. What are you like?"
When Jia Zheng and Jia She heard what Jia Mu meant, it seemed that she knew something. So they raised their hands and asked, "I wonder what mother's admonitions are."
"What can I say? I'm an old woman and I can't care about your affairs."
At this time, Jia Zheng, Jia She and Jia Zhen quickly knelt down and said, "It's us who let the old lady worry about it. It's better for the old lady to make the final decision regarding the Jia family."
When Jia Mu saw the three heads of the Jia family kneeling on the ground, with a smile on her face, she said to the three of them: "Get up, all of you. I know that you three are good and different from them.
Now that we have reached this point, we should find a way. Aren't some people afraid of being dragged down? Let them separate into separate sects."
Jia Zheng and Jia She were stunned when they heard this. You must know that splitting a clan is not a trivial matter. Sometimes it can even weaken a family.
Jia Mu didn't care about the surprise of the two people, and said to Jia Zhen next to her: "You are our clan leader. Go and ask, whoever wants to leave our second house, you can delete them from the family tree. From now on.
From now on, they will no longer be of the same family as the three families on Ningrong Street."
Seeing that Jia Mu was serious, Jia Zhen did not dare to object. She took a few steps back and came to the elders of the clan, "You are all elders of the Jia family. Who is willing to leave the house and establish another sect now?"
The old lady has also spoken, allowing everyone to separate into sects and go out now. Please sign up now."
After hearing this, the tribesmen below all whispered to each other and discussed the pros and cons of this matter.
If we don't divide the sect now, I'm afraid we will be liquidated by the emperor, but if Jia Ke survives this test, there will still be glory and wealth in the future, and then they will not be able to get the glory. So everyone is entangled here.
While they were still discussing, Jia Dairu stood up first: "Brother Zhen, I am a member of the Jia family when I am born, and I am a ghost of the Jia family when I die. Don't ask me about this matter. I still want to see my ancestors after death."
Woolen cloth."
After hearing Jia Dairu's words, Jia Zhen hurriedly raised her hands and said, "Uncle and grandpa said well. From now on, your share in our Jia family will be doubled. It can be regarded as the pension money given to you by us juniors."
At this time, an old man with a white beard spoke, "Although I complained just now, now, when we should work together, there is no reason to separate the sect. Even if I die, the old man will die on this third-acre of Jia's land.
I still think about going to the ancestral graves and meeting my ancestors after I die."
Then several other old men looked at each other and said dejectedly: "What the eldest brother said is that there is no reason for us to separate our clans. Let's all discuss how to get through the difficulties together."
These people are not very loyal to the Jia family, but they did a lot of immoral things when Jia Ke was here. Now if they don't have Jia Ke's protection, they may die without a burial place.
When the other people saw that the oldest people all disagreed with the division of clans, they had nothing to say.
Jia Zhen saw that none of the people below dared to declare their intention to split the clan, so she nodded with satisfaction. Although the Jia family members were eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, at the critical moment, no traitors had appeared.
Jia Zhen turned around, bowed to Jia Mu again and said, "Old lady, you heard it too. They just complained, and no one dared to go against your wishes."
Jia Mu looked down, then at Jia Zhen, and then said: "Don't worry about the people outside, that was all arranged when the eldest brother left. These people will not retreat until the eldest brother comes back. This is considered a gift."
Our Jia family is here to protect you. Just stay at home for a few days and everything will be clear when the eldest brother comes back."
After hearing Jia Mu's explanation, the clan members below all breathed a long sigh of relief. It turns out that these people outside are from Jia Ke's sect, so that's fine.
At the same time, some of the people who complained the most just now feel cold sweat on their heads. If they had separated themselves from the clan just now, they would immediately become helpless people, and they would also become traitors of the Jia family.
People like them can still benefit from Ke's return.
Jia Zhen saw that Jia Mu had already explained, and the clan members below also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she said to everyone: "Since everything is fine, everyone should go back first. I will let you know if anything happens in the future."
The clan members below then stood up and left their seats one by one, saluted Jia Mu, and then left Rongxi Hall and went back to their homes.
After all these people had left, Jia Zhengcai raised his hand and said, "What's going on with the old lady? My sons are all confused now."
Jia Mu looked at the three people they left behind and said with a smile: "What can happen? Now the infantry commanders and officials in power are all eldest brother's confidants, and the three major battalions outside the city are also powerful generals under eldest brother. Who in the capital is here?"
