Chapter 14: What a Great Mansion
Hearing Mrs. Jing's inquiry, Jiang Long frowned slightly.
In fact, he made up a lie to deceive Yao's mother, there are loopholes, it's not that Yao's mother is very easy to deceive and easily believes him, but Yao's mother and Jing Jianglong have an extraordinary relationship and trust the original body very much, so whatever Jianglong says now, Yao's mother will not be suspicious.
And the biggest loophole in the lie is that a few days before Lin Ya married into the mansion, the original body suddenly became irritable, and she was very repulsive to Lin Ya.
This is obvious to all.
It is precisely because of this premise that the original body vomited blood after seeing Lin Ya, and did not say a word, but everyone was sure that it was Lin Ya who made the original body angry.
Lin Ya didn't even have a chance to defend herself.
So now, if Jiang Long nods and agrees to let Lin Ya go with him, there will be a big contrast from before.
It's amazing.
If you contact him from the dead and come back to life, maybe some people will be suspicious.
Moreover, Jiang Long knew that Lin Ya was still burdened with the tasks assigned by the Lin family, and now he didn't want to ease relations with Lin Ya on the bright side.
Otherwise, the people sent by the Lin family to assist Lin Ya saw that Lin Ya had become closer to him and became closer, and they must force Lin Ya to seize power as soon as possible, and then let Lin Ya secretly transfer the family wealth of Jingfu to the name of the Lin family.
Lin Ya's younger brother Lin Zhi is still in the hands of the Lin family, and Lin Ya has no power to resist now.
Therefore, Jiang Long decided that before rescuing Lin Zhi from the Lin family, at most he could only open his heart and communicate sincerely with Lin Ya in secret, so that Lin Ya would be under less pressure.
"Grandma listens to grandma."
If you directly say that you don't let Lin Ya go with you, it won't work, because in that case, Lin Ya will be made all kinds of difficulties by the servants of Jingfu in the future, so Jiang Long simply didn't say anything, and let everyone guess his thoughts.
I can't be sure in my heart, when these people treat Lin Ya, they will be worried.
"Then let Ya'er go with you tomorrow."
After being reminded by Yao's mother, Mrs. Jing really thought that it was the Buddha who blessed Jing Jianglong and brought her grandson back to life, so she became more convinced of the existence of the Buddha in her heart.
Lin Ya lost her mother at the age of six, and she was already very pitiful, and Mrs. Jing was also quite pitiful and sympathetic to this granddaughter-in-law.
Of course, Mrs. Jing also has other intentions.
She saw Jiang Long looking at Dai Lisi in a daze, thinking that Jiang Long was tempted and had the heart to fit the two, but even if Dai Lisi became Jiang Long's woman, she could only be a concubine, and the child she gave birth to was also a concubine.
Only Lin Ya, the child of the young lady of the main room, is the granddaughter of Mrs. Jing's relatives.
In this era, great importance is attached to the distinction between descendants and concubines.
From the royal family to the wealthy family, the status of the children of the concubine is far inferior to that of the descendants.
For example, even if the prince is the eldest brother, he is not as good as the priority of the younger brother of the lineage, and the children of the concubine in the wealthy family are not qualified to inherit the family business.
For Mrs. Jing, there is really no way, it is okay to have a great-grandson to inherit the Jing family's incense.
But if you have the opportunity to hold your great-grandson, it will be better.
In addition to the wife of the main family, the children born to the flat wife are also descendants, but most wealthy families do not have the habit of marrying a flat wife.
There is already intrigue in the wealthy family, and then get a flat wife who is on par with the status of the lady of the main house, and then the two daughters fight, then the fun will be great, and I am afraid that there will be no peace in the house.
Some people also say that it is not necessary to fight, and it is possible to live in peace.
There is this possibility, but the probability is not large, the reason is very simple, the children born to the wife of the main family and the wife are all direct and enjoy the qualifications to inherit the family property equally, and what mother would not consider her own children?
Speaking of which, I have to explain again that in ancient times, the inheritors of the family business were the eldest sons, and when they separated from their brothers, except for the eldest son, other people could only get a small part of the family property, and they would even be purified out of the house.
It will not be said that several brothers are equally divided, this possibility is not.
Moreover, the elders of the family will not allow such a division, because the equal division of family property means that a large family is divided into several medium or even small families, and the status of the medium family and the small family is far from being comparable with the large family.
Just like in modern times, a hundred small factories may have an annual output value that exceeds that of a large enterprise, but their influence among their peers is far less than that of a large enterprise.
Seeing that Mrs. Jing agreed to let Lin Ya follow, Zhang Jiang was dissatisfied.
She felt that in recent years, Mrs. Jing had paid less and less attention to her, and it was precisely because of this that she was competing to be the first everywhere, wanting to keep her position in the mansion.
And Yao Chen was relieved to see that Mrs. Jing did not blame her daughter.
In fact, in terms of ability and brain intelligence and means, Yao Chen's is inferior to Zhang Jiang's.
There are a lot of miscellaneous things in the house, and these people need to take care of them, so they didn't stay long, Zhang Jiang's and Yao Chen's, and Dai Lisi stepped back one after another.
Old Madam Jing thought about how to reconcile the good things of Delis and Jiang Long as soon as possible, and after a while, she also left.
Yuchai brought the food, and Jiang Long began to enjoy it.
But when I eat it today, it's not as delicious as yesterday.
It's not that the food is not exquisite, nor that the kitchen skills are poor, but Dr. Xu has told him that Jiang Long can't eat meat, can't eat more salt, can't eat too greasy things, and the more plain the better.
Such a meal is tasteless, that is, the original body vomits blood, needs a lot of nutritional supplements, and is very hungry in the stomach, so Jiang Long can eat it in a big gulp.
After a few days, Jiang Long's body has recovered a little, and he is afraid that he will not be able to eat such a light meal.
After eating, Jiang Long felt that his body had some strength, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was just right at noon and the temperature was right, so he could walk in the house and breathe.
The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle hurriedly changed into thick clothes for Jiang Long, which was not at ease, and took the cloak again.
Jiang Long walked out of the bedroom, the warm sunlight was sprinkled on his body, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, squinted his eyes to look at the sun hanging overhead, he had been deep in endless darkness before occupying the body of the original owner, I don't know how long it was, I don't know how long I haven't seen the sun, and I am irradiated by this warm sun.
It's nice to feel like you're bathed in the sun at this time!
"Little master, let's go to the back garden for a walk." Jade hairpin proposed.
The vase also agreed, "The ice on the lake in the back garden has long since melted, and you can see the fish swimming in the water, and the branches of the trees by the lake have also pulled out green shoots. ”
"Okay." Jiang Long agreed with a smile.
A group of three people walked in the direction of the back garden of Jingfu.
To say that the area of this Jingfu is really large, it seems that it was built in accordance with the regulations of the palace at the earliest, and it is located in Ningyuan County, on the outskirts of the capital, which is the only one in the entire Great Qi Dynasty.
In this way, even if the nobles were ordered to lead the troops to fight, and the relatives at home were pinched by the emperor in the palm of their hands, they would not dare to rebel easily.
The princes and nobles who lived in the capital, their mansions were built according to their own grades, and these courts had clear regulations on what official positions, what titles, and how big the mansions could live.
Even if the size of some people's houses will exceed the regulations, it will not be too much.
After all, there is a royal history in the court, and these people all have a stinky and hard temper, and they find mistakes in the officials of the court and the central government all day long, and no one wants to be included in the imperial history because the mansion at home is too big.
Moreover, most of the titles of the nobles are decreasing from generation to generation, and if the descendants do not have outstanding recasting glory, they can only sell the mansion and move away by themselves later, and they are not qualified to live.
It's like Jingfu, this scale is boundless.
It is estimated that even the palaces of those real royal princes who have been divided into other places are not as magnificent as Jingfu.
After walking for a while, Jiang Long, who was still weak, had a general understanding of the size of Jingfu, which was more than 200 meters from his small courtyard to the back garden, which was more than 70 zhang when converted into an ancient unit of measurement.
When he came to the back garden, looking at the lake with more than 30 acres in front of him, Jiang Long opened his mouth even more.
I'm afraid that there is only such a big lake in the imperial garden in the imperial palace in the entire capital.
There are several pavilions built in the lake, and on the water surface between the pavilions, there are several pontoon bridges about four feet wide, Jiang Long and the second daughter walk on the pontoon bridge, and the feet are a little unstable, so you must be careful, otherwise one may fall into the lake.
There are fish in the lake for people to watch, and Jiang Long and his second daughter talk and laugh while watching the fish.
At the corner of a courtyard wall not far away, he cautiously poked out his head, glanced at the direction where Jiang Long was located a few times, and quickly retracted it.
After a while, a small girl with her head down and a thin figure walked out of here and walked straight in the direction where Jiang Long was.
Stepping on the pontoon bridge, Xiao Yahuan walked quickly to the pavilion, gave a blessing, and called the little master.
Jiang Long nodded with a smile.
Xiao Yahuan said that there was nothing wrong, but she saw Jiang Long here from a distance, so she stepped forward to say hello.
Hearing this, Jade Hairpin and the treasure bottle waved their hands, signaling that Xiao Yahuan could leave.
The little girl was blessed and turned to leave.
However, before she could go a few steps away, the little girl seemed to slip under her feet and suddenly fell on the pontoon.
Seeing this, the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle immediately stepped forward to help.
However, the little girl got up in a panic, and then ran away in a hurry with her head down and a red face.
"This little girl is really reckless." Jade hairpin chuckled.
The treasure bottle also clapped his hands and said: "Yes, I don't know which courtyard it is, it's hairy." ”
Only Jiang Long's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flickered, staring at the back of Xiao Yahuan thoughtfully.
