Before dying, Jia Daishan called everyone in the family. Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Hu, and Jia Zhu are all there, and the Liu family and Xiao Wang also bring Jia Ying and Yuan Chun and other juniors. After drinking water and eating more than half a bowl of ginseng soup, Jia Daishan was in better spirits, and said, "What about Yu'er?" Jia Yu went up with red eyes, "Father, I'm here." Jia Daishan said: "I've suffered you all these years." Now that your mother is gone, it's time to put things down. Jia Yu choked and nodded. He said to Jia Yu and Jia Zheng: "Now that I'm going too, there is no one in a huge mansion who can support the door, you two brothers should abandon their previous suspicions and work together." Jia Zheng also had tears in his eyes.

"Everyone, you respect your in-laws and raise your children, and you do a good job." "The second family, you married in later, you don't have to pay attention to some grievances, if there is anything difficult in the future, just come to your sister-in-law." The two daughters-in-law also blessed themselves and let out a few small ones. Yuan Chun and Jia Lian are still young, and Jia Daishan only instructed them to take good care of them.

Then there was Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu is also older now, and because he was forced to move forward by Jia Zheng every day, his body is a little weak. He called out to his grandfather in a low voice. Jia Daishan showed a weak smile to him and said, "Good boy, I take care of your brother on weekdays and neglect you a lot. And he said, "You have to fight." Jia Zhu thought of her mother who died early for a while, and she was not close to her sister Yuanchun, and tears rolled down.

Jia Ying was seven or eight years old, and Su Ri was not close to this grandfather, but heard that he loved his eldest brother very much, and when he saw that he was going to die, he approached his mother sadly. Jia Daishan touched her head, praised "Your mother taught you very well" and let her go down.

At this moment, Jia Daishan's body had some strength, sat up and called softly: "Hu'er." Jia Hu had been waiting below, and when he saw this, he held back his tears and came up, holding his grandfather's hands, choked up and couldn't speak. Jia Daishan said: "Among my children and grandchildren, you are the only one who I personally teach, Hu'er, the Jia family depends on you." Jia Hu's heart was sour, tears were about to flow, and he didn't want the old man to go uneasy, so he held back and just kept nodding.

Jia Daishan's face turned red, and his voice became stronger, holding Jia Hu's hand and talking non-stop. How could everyone not know that this was a return to the light, Jia Yu quietly turned his head and wiped his tears. In the end, he reluctantly looked at the people under the bed, and sighed: "In my life, half of my life is a horse, half of my life is rich, and there are successors, so I have no regrets." He closed his cloudy eyes, and his hand holding Jia Hu drooped weakly.

Jia Hu cried bitterly.

As soon as Jia Daishan died, Jia Hu was the most sad and sad, and after a few days of funeral, he was erect and haggard. Rong Guogong passed away, but there were many chores, everyone was considerate of Jia Hu, so they didn't ask him to work hard, but the rest of Rong Mansion pulled the people of Ning Mansion to discuss it.

On the mourning hall, Jia Hu was dressed in white, with a thin figure and a sad face.

Seeing this, Jia Jing couldn't help but sigh at the guests who came to mourn, so that the filial piety of the eldest grandson of Rong Gong spread far and wide. Over the years, he worked as a magistrate in the rich land of Jiangnan for six years, and three years ago he was transferred to the capital to serve as the Ministry of Rites, during which Rong Guogong contributed a lot, and he was very grateful to this uncle.

There were fewer people, so Jia Jing came over and patted Jia Hu on the shoulder, and really reproached: "Hu'er, I heard that you have only eaten rice soup in the past few days?" If you spoil your body like this, your grandfather will be uneasy underground. His words were sincere, and it was difficult to hide his worry and cherishment.

Jia Hu's dark eyes moved, and his thoughts immersed in sadness were also pulled back, and he thanked Jia Jing in a hoarse voice: "What Uncle said is that the Si people have passed away, and the living people will continue to live." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Jia Yu and Jia Lian softly.

Jia Jing was relieved: "You finally don't drill the horns anymore." ”

Jia Hu changed the topic and asked, "My cousin went to Jinling to participate in the township test, I don't know if there is any news?" Originally, Jia Hu also wanted to follow, but at this time, Jia Daishan was already seriously ill, so he refused to leave. Jia Hu was also glad that he didn't go to Jinling, otherwise he would not even be able to see his grandfather for the last time.

Because in front of the spirit, Jia Jing only whispered: "He will come back in a few days, and I will ask him to sue you in person." ”

Jia Hu realized that his sad and depressed mood had also been alleviated because of Jia Zhen's news.

At this time, there was a lot of chaos outside, someone came to inform Jia Yu and Jia Jing, and there was a father-in-law outside the door to announce the holy decree. Jia Jing hurriedly reminded: "Enhou, ask someone to open the main door and set up an incense case." Jia Yu knew that there was this, and the chief steward Lin Zhixiao was also an old man who had passed through the scene of receiving orders, so he commanded in a hurry.

After a while, the father-in-law who had delivered the decree was welcomed in, and there was a black oppression on the ground.

The father-in-law dragged out his voice and asked, "Where are Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, the sons of Rongguo Gong?" ”

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are listed.

Jia Daishan knew that his time was running out, so he went to the testament, and he wanted Jia to pardon the lord, and broke Jia Zheng's thoughts early. At this time, Jia Zheng was asked to take over the order, even if Jia Zheng knew that there was little hope, his heart couldn't help pounding.

The results disappointed him.

The father-in-law recited a bunch of words on the decree, but he let Jia Yu be demoted to two ranks, and he became a first-class uncle, and he also gave Jia Zheng a petty official in charge, and he could join the company after filial piety. After reading the will, the father-in-law smiled and said, "Uncle Rong, take the order." ”

Jia Yu was overjoyed. His father once said that he had no merits, and the most likely thing was that he would be demoted a few ranks in a row when he attacked the knighthood, and in his previous life, he only attacked a first-class general. Now that the title has been raised to a higher level, isn't it a surprise?

He happily accepted the holy decree, stuffed a purse into his father-in-law's sleeve with understanding, and hurriedly asked: "It's hard for this father-in-law, and you still don't know your father-in-law's name?" ”

The father-in-law touched the purse, and the fluttering piece of paper saw that it contained a silver ticket. Rootless people love money the most, he smiled more sincerely, and said kindly: "Uncle Rong Guo doesn't have to be polite, the surname of the miscellaneous family is Wu, and the uncle can call the father-in-law of the miscellaneous family." ”

Jia Yu asked Gonggong Wu to stay for tea, and Gonggong Wu smiled: "The emperor is still waiting for the miscellaneous family, so he won't drink tea." Jia Yu sent him outside the door.

This Jia Yu is full of spirits, but Jia Zheng is like being struck by lightning. He participated in the township test several times, and all of them were named Sun Shan, and he is still white. I heard that Rong Guogong was not good, and the emperor also invited Jia Yu and Jia Zheng to inquire, and he also specially inspected the knowledge of the two. Jia Zheng felt that he was better than Jia Yucai, but now he was shocked to hear that the emperor had given him an official, and the whole person was stunned. It must be known that the emperor of this dynasty can only stop at the top of the three grades. In other words, no matter how Jia Zhengguan does, at most it is the third product. How can Jia Zheng, who prides himself on being a talent, endure it? Jia Yu has already attacked the Marquis, and he will not be able to overpower Jia Yu for the rest of his life!

Jia Zheng didn't want to think about it, relying on himself to get a jinshi and then become an official, not to mention a first-grade officer, or a third-grade official, I don't know if there will be such a day. Jia Daishan just considered that Jia Yu would not necessarily pull the second room, and Jia Zheng didn't know that he would not be able to pass the imperial examination until the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, so he specially asked for this grace for him, so that he would not become white. In the capital, the white body is better than the average civilian, and it is not as good as the stewards in the high-ranking families.

Jia Zheng didn't think that this was his father's love for his son, he only thought that he was pregnant with talents, and he didn't look down on the position of chief given by the emperor. Fortunately, he still had a little brain, and he didn't say these words, and he also showed indignation in front of the eunuch who sent the decree.

Of course, Gonggong Wu also saw that Jia Zheng's face was different, and he couldn't help but wonder, what a glorious thing this is, why is this Jia Zheng so uninteresting? Not to mention that he came up like Rong Guobo, so he showed a smile. He gave Jia Zheng a definition of "I don't know what to do" in his heart, and after returning to the palace, he naturally added fuel and vinegar, but he knew that the big house and the second room of the Rong Mansion had been in discord for a long time, and this was a reward for Rong Guobo, right?

Jia Daishan took the excerpt, Jia Hu knew it, and the excerpt was dictated by Jia Daishan, and he personally transcribed it. Jia Zheng got an official position in charge, he was not surprised at all, but Jia Yu was not a first-class general, but Rong Guobo, he was very surprised.

The titles of the four kings have not been inherited from generation to generation, but most of the eight dukes have been downgraded, and Jia Yu has directly changed from a first-class general in his previous life to Rong Guobo, and he jumped a few times in the middle. Jia Hu sighed, no wonder everyone wants to learn from the dragon's work, isn't his father just betting on the right treasure at a critical juncture, so he has today. Jia Hu just sighed and threw it to the back of his mind, leaving only a faint trace on his heart.

After stopping for seven days, and doing a water and land dojo for 7749 days, Rong Guogong's coffin was placed in the Tieji Temple, together with Jia's mother, only to be brought back to Jinling for burial by Jia Yu and Jia Zheng.

On this day, Jia Jing opened the ancestral hall and summoned Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Hu, and Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhen also followed him.

Jia Jing said: "The tree is divided, and the son is divided." Now that your mother is gone, your father is gone, and the funeral is over, and you are all married, and you have sons and daughters, I am the patriarch, so I will preside over the division of the family for you. I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

With the patriarch as the middle person of the family, it is naturally no problem. Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both agreed.

Jia Jing then introduced several people in official uniforms around him to others.

"This is a few adults from the Ministry of Rites, the Rong Mansion is a family with a title, and the division needs to be reported to the imperial court, so these adults will record the details."

Jia Hu was a little curious, but Jia Jing didn't give a detailed account of what these officials meant, so he had to look at them with curiosity. A young man had probably heard of this ten-year-old young man who was talented and very filial, and nodded to him in a friendly manner. Jia Hu smiled back embarrassedly and looked away.

Jia Jing first divided all the things in the Rong Mansion into several parts. One is the private house that Jia's mother will have time to leave a last word in the future, one is Jia Daishan's private room, one is the part that the inheritor should inherit, and the other is the part of the big house and the second room.

Jia's mother said that she died of a sudden emergency, but in fact it was Jia Daishan's order, so she naturally did not leave a last word. Jia Daishan was already seriously ill at that time, and the masters of the Rong Mansion were busy mourning and serving the sick, and they didn't have time to share Jia's mother's private room, so they stayed until this time.

Jia Daishan left his last words, so he divided the private rooms of the two old men first.
