Chapter 40: Ruthless
Lin Jin and Wu Jiugong talked about the Jia family, and the topic finally fell to Mrs. Wang. By Mrs. Wang, she thought of the high-powered Wang Ziteng, and now the glory of the "four major families" all depends on him to support.
Therefore, she sighed: "Even the antique dealer who married the daughter of a slave of the Jia family saw the crisis of the Jia family, 'There are many masters and servants who are rich and honorable, and there is no one who plans and plots, and the children and grandchildren are not as good as the next generation.' It's a pity that the whole Jia family is still immersed in the glory of the Rongguo Mansion that day.
My grandmother can see a little, but as a backhouse woman, the adult male in the family is not angry, and she has no good way, and now she puts the hope of revitalizing the family on my second uncle's Baoyu, who was born of jade, but I don't know that he is just a look, and he can't be the optimus pillar of the family like Wang Ziteng. ”
Wu Jiugong asked curiously: "I heard that his piece of jade was taken out of his mouth when the grass fell, and there are ready-made eye-piercing and seal handwriting on it, but is it true?" ”
Lin Jin nodded: "That's true." The jade is said to be as big as a bird's egg, I didn't believe it at first, I thought it was a second aunt who faked, after all, how big can the newborn baby's mouth be, how can it be put down. However, after asking my mother, I found out that the jade was not so big at first, and it only became so big after it was taken out of my cousin's mouth.
At that time, not only everyone in the delivery room, but also my grandmother, who broke in because of the exclamation of the midwife, saw it, so my cousin's piece of jade was regarded as a strange thing, and it was precisely because of this that my grandmother felt that he was born extraordinary and would do great things in the future. ”
It's a pity that people only borrowed the shell of the Jia family to rob them, not to help the Jia family revitalize the family, so everyone who had high hopes for Baoyu couldn't help but be disappointed in the end.
Wu Jiugong thought that the royal habit would cast a layer of mystery on his birth, and then thought of Baoyu's birth and the fact that the jade was taken out of his mouth to face the wind, and he twisted his beard and said: "In this case, it is better for your cousin to be honest and not to be outstanding, otherwise, it may not be a good thing for him."
In fact, he should be glad that when he was born, not only did he catch up with the peaceful and prosperous era, but the reigning Emperor Taishang did not believe this. Otherwise, I'm afraid that your cousin won't know how tall the grass on the grave will be right now. ”
Lin Jin nodded in agreement. She also knows the royal taboo about such things as "oracles", so when she was reading the book, she didn't say anything about Baoyu's ability to grow up peacefully, and she was alive and kicking, which was incredible, and she could only say who made the family the protagonist, otherwise, how could she live past the age of one if she changed people.
Thinking of the Wang family and the character of Wang Ziteng, Wu Jiugong advised: "Although you and Wang Ziteng have nothing to do with now, but in the future, when you interact with the Jia family, you can't say that you will deal with the Wang family, if possible, you try to stay away from Wang Ziteng, that is a ruthless person." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jin was very surprised and asked, "It's rare to hear you comment on a person like this, but you two shouldn't have anything to do with each other, right?" Have you seen him? ”
Wu Jiugong shook his head and said, "I have never met." ”
Lin Jin was very strange, "Then how did you come to the conclusion that he is a ruthless person?" If the conclusion is drawn from some deeds from hearsay, but this prince Teng doesn't seem to have any anecdote circulating? ”
Wu Jiugong chuckled lightly and said, "The few caravans that are running the sea trade now, except for our family, there is no official background behind them, and the other caravans have the shadow of officials behind them. The person behind the fleet of the Xue family in Jinling is Wang Ziteng. ”
