Chapter 19: The Aftermath (Part II)

In the end, Jia Yu promised a lot of benefits, promised to bring his sister new things back every time he went out in the future, and promised to give his sister a pair of small and chic Ruyao vases to play with, so as to appease the little girl.

After that, how did Jia Yu rack his brains to name the newborn eldest sister, let's take a look at Jia Zheng's side.

Jia Zheng has never suffered such a big loss today since he was born, although his grandmother prefers Jia Yu among their brothers, but Jia Yu is not very close to his parents when he is raised by his grandmother's side, and he is a young son, and before his sister Jia Min was born, he occupied almost all the favor of his parents, except for the old lady, who dares to touch a finger of him? Even the old lady was never willing to let him suffer a little grievance, let alone beat him.

Since he was a child, his mother told him that he should be filial to his parents, that he should understand etiquette, that he should study hard, that he should overpower the elder brother who was raised by the old lady's side, and that he would prove that he was better than his brother, more sensible, more worthy of pain, and even ・・・・・・ more able to glorify his ancestors, and more suitable to be the heir of this family.

He didn't know what his mother thought about the old lady, but for his brother Jia Yu, to be honest, he looked down on him. Everything is inferior, only reading is high, but since he was a child, Jia Yu didn't like to read, only had fun all day long, and spent more time in the house every day than in the school at home, so he was not less scolded by his father, if it wasn't for his grandmother's protection, he was afraid of being beaten. On the other hand, he Jia Zheng, polite and polite, and filial piety to his parents, in addition, he likes to read more than Jia Yu and is more good at reading, which guest who comes to the house does not praise him for being smart and studious? In contrast, the brother who can't even answer his father's questions can't catch up with him, and every time he takes the school exam in front of the guests, he must be the one who fights for his father's face, and the brother only has the role of being a foil.

Everyone praised him for being stronger than his brother, and he was obviously better than his brother in everything, but he was the second son; His brother was no match for him, but because he was born a few years earlier, he was more qualified than anyone else to inherit this huge family business.

Later, the elder brother married his relatives and went out to earn military merits, thinking that he had self-knowledge and did not dare to compare with him again, hiding out to make a name for himself, who knew that by mistake, the Tartars attacked the border pass, and the brother obviously had no news for a few months, and even his wife told him that this business had to be handed over to him, but in the end, the brother not only did not have an accident in the war, but also earned an official position and came back, and he was very uncomfortable at once.

And after my brother came back, some things had changed unconsciously. The master will no longer test the knowledge of the two at the same time, because the elder brother is a military attaché, and he does not need to rely on exams to gain fame; The lord will no longer lose his temper with his brother because of some things, even if those things before can make the lord scold his brother with his head and face, because the elder brother is also an official of the court; Even, the voice of praise and pardon among the subordinates began to vaguely overshadow the voice of praise for him.

These Jia Zheng all knew that he envied his brother's official position of the fourth grade, but he faintly looked down on his status as a martial artist. Now that the world has been peaceful for a long time, it is inevitable to emphasize literature and light on military force, it is good to hold power like my father, what is the role of a military general with no real power like my brother? But it looks good, just like my wife said, although my brother has an official position, he will want the title of the gold list in the future, and the future of the family still has to abandon Wu Congwen, and hope is still on him.

But he never expected that this brother, who had no real power and no favor, would dare to beat him, and it was still such a reason, and his father, because this matter involved his sister's reputation, he had to suppress it, and he didn't punish his brother? You must know that if you change before, Jia Yu would be scolded by his father if he dared to glare at him!

Jia Zheng was full of resentment, but he couldn't express it in front of his parents, especially his father-some things, the effect of not saying it was better than saying it, and when he returned to his own courtyard, he deliberately let many people see his beaten face, looking at those surprised eyes, Jia Zheng felt faintly proud.

Elder brother, I don't know how the reputation of a tyrannical brother affects your status in the heart of the master?

It's just that at this time, the proud Jia Zheng couldn't have imagined that the sentence "bastard who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn" that Jia Yu yelled in his study soon came true, and today it put him in a more embarrassing situation.

Those are later words, and it is said that Jia Zheng was escorted back to the Zhegui Courtyard where he and the Wang family lived like a treasure escorted by the maids, which immediately caused a lot of chickens and dogs, and it must not be said because of this matter, Jia Zheng was only vague about the maids.

But Wang, who is also a party to the case, heard that it was the uncle who beat the second master, and she knew very well in her heart what kind of reason her husband was beaten, and she only needed to go through the list of people who was present at the time, and she immediately knew who told the leak - such a thing must be kept secret, the old lady and the lady will definitely not say it, and the people who heard it were all locked up, and she didn't say that Zhang Xian gave birth to a child, so there is only one person left who knows and will not be dealt with - sister-in-law Jia Min.

I secretly hate my sister-in-law for talking and talking, and Wang's kind words comfort her husband, but Jia Zheng's mind is not on her side at all, Wang watched the maid named Bi Tao walking around coquettishly, crying and crying to squeeze the other girls aside, while taking a "second master" while taking this and that, she looks more virtuous than her as a wife, and her heart is directly offended, but Jia Zheng is good at this mouthful, and her tone and expression are gentler than Wang's, and she is almost so angry that Wang drives the girl out regardless of her demeanor.

Although Jia Zheng wanted to make a big deal about his beating - the matter on his sister's side should not be exported, so he emphasized that his brother Jia Yu beat his brother for no reason and could not tolerate his younger brother, but the old lady is not a vegetarian, and the old lady can't tolerate someone talking about the reputation of her precious grandson more than anyone else, so she sent a grandmother to tell Shi: "If someone says half of today's events, no matter how many years they have served, they will all be sent to Zhuangzi, and my Jia family will not tolerate the subordinates who slander the master." ”

Jia Daishan also said to Shi: "Although it is said that Yu'er misunderstood and made Zheng'er feel wronged, today's incident must not be spread, and the villain has no chance to sow discord." ”

Shi's heart is the same as Jia Zheng's, but she was suppressed by the old lady as soon as she made a tentative move, and she lost a few people in vain, plus in addition to the Lai family, she saved several right-hand men, and several right-hand men were disposed of by the old lady, so she could only be secretly angry, and these two things were drowned behind the celebration of the birth of the eldest granddaughter of Rongguo Mansion.

Speaking of Jia Yu, Jia Yu didn't want to wait for Yuan Chun to be born before naming his daughter - just kidding, did his daughter still have to take the name of Jia Zheng's daughter? Therefore, although his daughter's name is usually chosen after a few years, he named his daughter "Joan" early.

Jia Qiong's full moon wine was very grand, not inferior to Jia Min's full moon wine at all, and there were many noble ladies who came and went, and even the prince's mother's Zhao family sent people to give gifts.

But when Jia Zheng and Wang's eldest son Jia Zhu are full moon, it will be different, although Shi is more serious about this, but the guests know that it has dropped at least one grade when they look at it, and there are not many noble ladies who can be counted, and they only make Wang so angry that he scratches his heart and liver - the eldest son of the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the county Bo Wang's family, who is a dignified founder of the country, is it not as good as a girl?

- She didn't want to think about it, Jia Qiong was the eldest granddaughter of Rongguo Mansion, the eldest granddaughter of the first-class Shenwei general and the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and the eldest daughter of the fourth (and third-grade in the future) general, and Jia Zhu, although he was also Jia Daishan's grandson, but his father was a white body who had not even been admitted to the most basic show of talent and fame・・・・・・ she had that face to post, and the noble ladies had to have that face.

Anyway, as soon as Jia Zhu's full moon passed, Shi began to pack some luggage for the second son, because of reluctance, the luggage was packed for several days, and he thought that the little guys were difficult to take care of, so he discussed with her husband to bring a girl named Jade next to her and Jia Zheng's girl named Bi Tao to Jia Zheng to take care of it.

The Wang family almost bit their silver teeth when they knew it, but Jia Zhu was too young to leave her mother, and it was impossible for her to follow her; Jia Daishan Jia Zheng originally agreed, but Jia Yu said to Jia Zheng casually after knowing it: "The etiquette law says that the doctor has one wife and two concubines, and the second brother has three concubines, which is gratifying." ”

The two girls and the past can do what they can do besides serving, everyone knows that Jia Yu is laughing at Jia Zheng's inner courtyard with the specifications of a scholar, that is, he does not have the fame of a scholar, and he doesn't even have a "scholar" (lifting people).

Jia Zhengda was stimulated and dismissed his mother's kindness: "My son must study with peace of mind to seek the title of the gold list, and he should study hard with the hanging beams, and it is enough to have the servants to serve, and the son is not unable to endure hardship." ”

Shi thought that he couldn't take care of himself in Jinling, and it would be bad if the girls hooked his son in a bad way, so he didn't insist anymore. Wang was satisfied, and as soon as her husband went out, he found a reason to drive Bi Tao out, and was afraid that Jia Zheng would come back and the old love would be unforgettable, so he used some means, and the girl quickly got her daughter's tuberculosis, and soon died, and Wang only sent twenty taels of buried silver.

In October, Jia Zheng chose a day and went to Jinling.
