Chapter 407: Bear the Burden
In the air of spring, Jia Cong walked out of the courtyard of Jia Dai Confucianism, the barking of dogs and the noisy noise of the children in the neighborhood, and the various contradictory realities of the difference between the rich and the poor and the teachers and students, and this spring represents the birth of all things, just like the health books written and promoted by Jia Cong, and like his new Shoukang Baojian, etc., everything is included in the two yin and yang fish, and the darkness and light are together. When he was eight years old, his family was not doing well, and he is still now, but he is no longer a teenager.
He came out and saw Feng Ziying pulling and pulling Xue Pan again, and walked over, Feng Ziying laughed quietly: "Brother Xue just can't listen to other people's gossip, in fact, the gossip is a lot old, whether you listen to it or not, it's still there, what do you care about them?" ”
Jia Cong said: "Where is there any gossip? ”
Liu Xianglian led him into a tea shop next door to the antique shop, the jade face was handsome, and said: "It's just that the people in the market are talking about it, it's an antique shop next door, it seems to be related to your Jia family, Zili won't know it, right?" ”
Xue Pan snorted coldly: "It's the son-in-law of the Zhou Rui family in the past, whose name is Leng Zixing, it's them, and this Leng Zixing is still running around north and south." ”
Jia Cong suddenly, Liu Xianglian covered her mouth with her fingers and said "shh
In the antique shop next door, Zhou Ruijia's voice first had a trace of indignation, and then there was a sense of schadenfreude, and his voice was very small but powerful: "I said that the girl and son-in-law, you old sons and me, it is still normal to want to go back to Naxi Mansion, it is very simple, but I may not be willing." In today's years and situation, those who are too domineering will inevitably invite retribution and disaster. ”
"How majestic was Grandma Lian at the beginning? It's not like there's no way to ask for help? ”
"That Jia Congguan master, no matter how fierce and vicious he is, he can escape other people's calculations, can he still escape the three disasters and six diseases? Can you escape three years of filial piety? Can you escape the wall and be pushed by everyone? Hum! You don't know that the higher you stand, the worse the fall hurts! ”
"That's not the case!" The girl who was already a wife said, but her girl knew that she only said that she could go back to Rongguo Mansion at will just for the sake of leisure, just like fighting with Wang Shanbao's family, but she didn't know that a housekeeper's wife was disgraced, and then going back wouldn't it make the lower people laugh and talk? Where is the face? How can those who have lost their prestige do it?
Zhou Ruijia said a few more words, saying that Jia Cong slapped her in the face and insulted her, which was simply a slap in the face of Mrs. Wang, and she didn't take Mrs. Wang in her eyes. Muttering for a while, Leng Zixing laughed with him: "The old mother-in-law doesn't have to worry, I think that when the son-in-law was in a lawsuit with someone for selling antiques, he asked the insider to go back to his mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law replied to Grandma Lian, and there was nothing to do, but you know: It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree." ”
"What my mother-in-law said is good, recently there have been rumors in the officialdom that Jia Cong's future is very dangerous, one is that the people who are loyal to the prince's camp are still not convinced, and they want him to die, and there are such people in the inner palace...... Against such two major forces, alas, it is really worrying...... However, today's Da Sima, the assistant military counselor, the government of the court, and the secretary of the military department, Jia Yucun, are the old acquaintances of the son-in-law......
Jia Cong thought that he was worthy of the Leng Zixing of "Leng Zixing's speech on Rongguo Mansion", he was so good at speaking, he could speak well, and he was worthy of being a businessman, and he coaxed his old mother-in-law to be happy in a few moments.
"You can catch up with the master of the court, son-in-law, you are really amazing." Zhou Rui's family praised, the anger was swept away, she used to be a slave, but she also had a slave, but she couldn't live a poor life, and she secretly hated the shameful laughter of everyone after losing face, she thought in her heart, Jia Cong not only did not have a title, nor did he do the highest Shangshu among the Beijing officials, they are still generous, the antique shop is rich, and if you have money, you can be accompanied by power.
Immediately, it seems that the Laiwang couple who were driven out by Jia Cong, and the Spring Festival nurse Wang Mama also came here as guests.
After that, they couldn't hear what was being discussed in secret, and the other party must have been guarding against the wall. Jia Cong couldn't help but sprout "The phoenix that falls to the ground is not as good as a chicken", the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the dragon swam shoal was played by shrimp, indeed, the higher the person stands, the worse the fall. Think about it, he has been away from power for a long time, why don't you want him to be worse than dead when he was beaten down by him and have grudges with him? No, even if there is no hatred, why haven't you seen his jokes?
"According to me, it's better not to listen, people's words are terrible." Feng Ziying observed the words.
"It doesn't matter, whether you want to or not, the more you go up, the more you have to bear, there are always more and more things. We believe in fate, but human initiative cannot be ignored, and no one knows what will happen when our greatest potential explodes. Jia Cong waved his hand and smiled.
Although being despised by others, cursed, ridiculed, and quietly avoided, there will be no great trouble, which is called forbearance, but the word forbearance is a sharp blade on the head of the heart, and it will bear the pain of the heart. Jia Cong asked himself to learn Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, medicine and martial arts, and he may not believe it all, according to pragmatism, what he learned is only useful to himself, but he will never be the great forbearance of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. After the twenty-seven months of filial piety, everything he arranged began to be revealed, and everything he worked hard would come to fruition. What is the expression of the enemy?
Jia Cong and his entourage wore clothes and obeyed the back door to enter, and also went out from there, he wore filial piety clothes and covered his face with the brim of his hat, which ordinary people did not know. Jia Huan parted ways with him on the road, saying that he would come back first to ask for peace, Jia Cong could see that Jia Huan and Xue Pan, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, etc. did not have much contact, not all the way, even if it was all the way, Jia Huan's concubine was not famous, and there was nothing to do, Jia Cong carefully found that Jia Huan was paranoid and dark, probably caused by the environment.
Back in the main hall of the East Cross Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cong instructed Sun Fu to entertain Xue Pan and them, Xue Pan seemed to have something to say, and he stopped talking, but Jia Cong had already taken a step ahead, Xue Pan twisted his body, quite impatient: "Brother Liu Xian, you often go with my brother-in-law, do you know that the new medicine he developed is reliable?" I remember that he asked me to take people to buy a batch of ores, many of which were realgar, orpiment, etc., this can't be a poison like arsenic, right? ”
"Probably not." Liu Xianglian frowned, trying to think about her memories, and seemed to be struggling: "When Zili talked to those Westerners, he said that it was an organic arsenic compound, as if arsenic was called arsenic trioxide or something. I guess it's a home remedy. He said that you don't have to be afraid, there are still people who eat realgar and cultivate immortals in ancient alchemists, and there is arsenic in them, such as Ge Hong. ”
Xue Pan nodded in amazement: "I thought I didn't know that, what astronomy and geography, cultural and martial arts, science and technology, but anyway, he is my brother-in-law, so he won't harm me!" ”
Liu Xianglian thought to herself that it was not necessarily, if you didn't know how to restrain and continue to cause trouble for the family and the marriage family.
Feng Ziying listened thoughtfully to their conversation, he had long known that Jia Congfei and other idlers had secretly persevered in their low-key development and endured humiliation in the face of such a predicament, would this kind of person sink? He wanted to see in person how Jia Cong's glass factory operated, and took Zhang Youshi as a guide, because he also had a group of middle and lower nobles to win over, and wanted to get a piece of the pie and prosper together.
At this time, Jia Cong entered the Rongxi Hall on the middle road, Jia Mulin, Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others came, and a new major event in the clan was slowly unfolding.
