Lu Jing instantly understood the reason why Ning Rong's titles were abnormal, and at the same time, Lin Ruhai's explanation also solved the doubts in his heart.

Hereditary succession means that there is no need to be demoted, and future generations can continue to inherit it, even if the heir is broken, it can also be inherited from the clan.

A generation of knights is knighted for merit, but this title does not shade future generations.

After Lu Jing figured out this question, he continued to ask: "The disciple still has a doubt, I heard that the eldest master of the Jia family attacked the title, why did the second master live in the main house?" ”

This is a question he has always wanted to figure out, on the patriarchal ritual system, only the eldest son has the right to inherit, since Jia Yu has taken the title, Rongguo Mansion is naturally Jia Yu's.

After Jia Zheng got married, he needed to move out of Rongguo Mansion and choose another place to live, but the Jia family's current arrangement is full of weirdness.

Lin Ruhai explained: "This matter has to be agreed by the emperor, and the Rongguo Mansion is made up, if there is no consent from the emperor, the second brother-in-law will not dare to live in it." ”

"Back then, my father-in-law divided the property of Rongguo Mansion into two, one for the title and the other for the title, and let the two brothers-in-law inherit them, the eldest brother attacked the title, and the second brother-in-law attacked the estate."

"I see, no wonder the old lady will live with the old man!" Lu Jing suddenly said, since Jia Zheng attacked the estate, he naturally had to bear the responsibility of supporting Shi Taijun.

However, Lu Jing still felt strange, Jia Daishan was not afraid of causing discord between the two brothers Jia Yu and Jia Zheng by doing this, so he asked: "Isn't Grandpa Guo afraid of causing family conflicts by doing this?" ”

Lin Ruhai explained: "This matter is also helpless, the eldest brother is impetuous, not doing his job, his father-in-law sees him as not the housekeeper's material, if the family business is handed over to him, maybe the Jia family will decline in a few years." ”

"In addition, my father-in-law originally wanted the Jia family to turn into a scholarly family, and the second brother-in-law loved reading since he was a child and had a gentle personality, so he let the second brother-in-law take the title and be in charge of the housekeeper."

In fact, he knew that his father-in-law deliberately raised his eldest brother to this character, and the Jia family was too powerful back then, in order to avoid being suspicious of Emperor Yan Kang.

He cultivated the eldest brother-in-law into such a temperament, but tried his best to cultivate the second brother-in-law, hoping that the second brother-in-law could reverse the family atmosphere and abandon martial arts from literature, so that the family could be better inherited.

It's a pity that Yan Kangdi broke his father-in-law's plan as soon as he made a move, and Yan Kangdi directly let the second brother-in-law Enyin go out of office, cutting off the second brother-in-law's road to the imperial examination, resulting in the second brother-in-law neither supporting him in the same year, nor being supported by his teacher, and he has been excluded among his colleagues.

"Disciple understood." Lu Jing admired Jia Daishan a little, Jia Daishan arranged everything of the Jia family clearly, but it was a pity that the descendants were not angry and lived up to his hard work.

And he also knew that there was no responsibility of Shi Taijun here, Shi Taijun, as a patriarch, not only failed to grasp the direction of the family, but destroyed Jia Daishan's arrangement.

According to his investigation, Shi Taijun had an unshirkable responsibility for Zhang's death, and when Zhang was pregnant with Jia Lian, Shi Taijun often called Zhang's to set rules, and continued to reward concubines to Jia Lian, resulting in Zhang's death not long after giving birth to Jia Lian.

"In fact, among these in-laws of the Jia family, the Wang family is still an orthodox martial arts heirloom."

"Wang Ziteng's rise over the years, thanks to the Jia family's abandonment of Wuxun, most of the connections left by his father-in-law have been inherited by him."

Lu Jing knew that if he was shrewd, he was afraid that the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue would still belong to the Wang family the most shrewd, and he also knew that after Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, the Jia family did not get any substantial benefits, but Wang Ziteng's official position was promoted again and again.

It can be seen that the Jia family has done so much to make a wedding dress for the Wang family, and now the Xue family and the Jia family are basically controlled by the Wang family, and the Shi family is a vassal of the Jia family, and controlling the Jia family is equivalent to controlling the Shi family, so it seems that Wang Ziteng is using the resources of the four families to serve him alone.

However, Lu Jing listened to Lin Ruhai's words, and became more and more puzzled in his heart, since Lin Ruhai had already seen that the Jia family was not long-lasting, why did he not take Lin Daiyu out of Jia's mansion all these years.

And to this day, he still wants to marry Lin Daiyu to the Jia family, isn't Lin Ruhai afraid that after the Jia family falls, Lin Daiyu will be implicated: "Since the teacher sees that the Jia family is not long-lasting, why does the teacher still marry Sister Lin to the Jia Mansion, and the teacher is not afraid that Sister Lin will be implicated at that time?" ”

Lin Ruhai sighed helplessly: "This matter is also helpless, my Lin family's heirs are thin, to my generation is already three generations of single transmission, and now the Gusu Lin family and our branch have basically come out of five suits, if you don't entrust Yu'er to the Jia family, there is no one to entrust as a teacher." ”

Then Lin Ruhai said in a changed tone: "Although the Jia family's position is a little problematic, but with my understanding of the two brothers, they are all people who keep to themselves, and they will not do anything big to rob the family and destroy the clan, even if the Jia family is defeated, it will not decay anywhere, and the Jia family's connections in Beijing are enough to protect themselves." ”

Lu Jing understood what Lin Ruhai meant, the Lin family has no relatives, and the close in-laws are now left with the Jia family and the Lu family, and now there are two people left in the Lu family's big house, so naturally they can't take in Lin Daiyu.

Since Lin Ruhai broke off relations with the Lu family, the second uncle and Lin Ruhai have no friendship, and now they are only maintaining the face of relatives.

Lin Ruhai will not rest assured that he will entrust Lin Daiyu to his second uncle, so the Lin family can only entrust Lin Daiyu to the Jia family.

And if Lin Ruhai marries Lin Daiyu to someone else's family, once he dies, Lin Daiyu's mother's family will have no one, and he will inevitably be bullied.

If Lin Daiyu is married to the Jia family, according to Lin Ruhai's thoughts, the Jia family has a relationship with Jia Min after all, and they will not let Lin Daiyu suffer any grievances.

Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh that Lin Ruhai did his best to Lin Daiyu's arrangement, but fate made people, and the Jia family finally lived up to his expectations.

Lu Jing also understood Lin Ruhai's thoughts, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are not ambitious people, they have no ability themselves, they can't achieve anything big, but they can't cause a big disaster.

Even if he commits a crime, he will not do anything rebellious, the Jia family is the head of the Guogong Mansion, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, even if it is decaying, it will not decline.

However, Lin Ruhai's thoughts, if they are put at other times, it will naturally be fine, but now that the situation is complicated, the two emperors are on the same day, and no one in the Jia family can preside over the overall situation, plus there are Wang Ziteng, Jia Zhen, Wang Xifeng, and other people who like to toss, the Jia family will naturally be unable to escape doom.

Lu Jing reminded: "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and the Jia family has no one who can take the lead, the teacher still has to make more plans." ”

Lin Ruhai sighed: "I will consider this matter." ”

Lin Ruhai now also feels that his original idea was too naïve, and the Jia family was too easy to be fooled, causing the Jia family to fall deeper and deeper into the turmoil of the power struggle.

At the same time, he was also quite angry in his heart, he didn't expect that Jia Wang's family would embarrass his daughter, Daiyu and Baoyu's marriage, it was originally a matter that he and his wife agreed with Lao Taijun, and the second brother-in-law had already agreed.

Lu Jing asked, "How does the teacher plan to deal with the affairs of the Jia family?" ”

"After all, the Jia family is involved too much, and I can only do my best!" Lin Ruhai sighed.

After all, the Jia family has the grace of giving birth to Jia Min, and now that Daiyu is also raised in Jiafu, he also needs to extricate the Jia family from the Zhen family's camp as much as possible this time.

However, he also knew that the Jia family and the Zhen family were too deeply involved, and the old lady was the backer of the Jia family, so the Jia family might not give up the relationship with the Zhen family.

Therefore, he planned to deal with the Zhen family first, directly cut the Zhen family and the Jia family, and then inform the Jia family when the overall situation was timed.

Lu Jing sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to take the most difficult road, if he only dealt with other forces in Jiangnan, instead of directly facing the Zhen family, it would be easier to operate, but now Lin Ruhai wants to deal with the Zhen family together for the sake of the Jia family.

Lu Jing only hopes that the Jia family will not live up to Lin Ruhai's expectations when the time comes, but he thinks this is unlikely, when he read Dream of Red Mansions, he felt that Lin Ruhai's death was not so simple.

After Lin Ruhai's death, the Jia family only sent a Jia Lian to deal with Lin Ruhai's funeral, and none of the important people in the Jia Mansion appeared, and now it seems that the Jia family obviously got the news in advance.

Lin Ruhai asked: "Huai Jin, since you have some understanding of the situation in Beijing, do you know the temperament of the emperor today?" ”

"Please ask the teacher for advice!" In recent years, he has also been collecting the deeds of Emperor Yuan Yong, and then speculated on the temperament of Emperor Yuan Yong.

According to his analysis, Emperor Yuan Yong had a tough temperament, and was extremely tolerant, acting vigorously and resolutely, but he was also a little ruthless and mean.

However, judging from the decrees he has promulgated in recent years, Emperor Yuanyong should be a doer, paying more attention to talents, and generally speaking, he is a qualified emperor.

"Today's saint is different from the emperor, he doesn't like superficial articles today, he is more pragmatic, and today's emperor is better at forbearance, Yankang thirty-six years of palace changes, six princes died, in addition to today's saint, and today's friends with the prince of Zhongshun, the eldest prince who was lucky not to die, and the fifteenth prince and seventeenth prince who did not participate in the seizure of the heir, the rest of the princes were all killed, and even the abolished prince who was detained in the Zongren Mansion did not escape, you can think about the temperament of the emperor today!"

Lin Ruhai said with some coldness in his heart, even if Emperor Yuanyong later abolished the crown prince as Prince Yizhong, it was just to echo the emperor's thoughts.

"At the beginning of the succession of the Holy Lord, only the Emperor looked forward to everything, and tolerated everywhere, and it took only two years for him to change."

Lin Ruhai's heart is depressed these days, he doesn't speak as respectfully as before, and he also complains about the emperor's style of acting, so he himself didn't notice that he said a lot of taboo things.

Lu Jing nodded slightly, what Lin Ruhai said was roughly the same as his judgment of Emperor Yuanyong, and he also knew that Emperor Yuanyong made a move on Lin Ruhai, which made Lin Ruhai have great complaints in his heart, and now he said these words just to vent.

However, Lu Jing was still a little worried about Lin Ruhai's situation, and he didn't know how big a battle Lin Ruhai was going to launch in Jiangnan for the sake of the Jia family, so he couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Is the teacher sure of getting out?" ”

Lin Ruhai knew Lu Jing's worries, and said indifferently: "How can you be completely sure of things in the world, if you want to get out, you still need to do something for the emperor!" ”
