Jia Jing didn't mention it for the time being, but said that Jia Liang brought someone to "visit" Jia Jing to take drugs that day, which caused public anger on the spot, and Jia Jing's mother ordered Jia Jing to be detained.

Originally, the old man in the clan was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Jing because of this incident, and wanted to open the ancestral hall and re-elect the patriarch. At this time, Jia Liang spoke for Jia Jing.

"I didn't call you here to let you take the position of patriarch of the big brother. It's just that the eldest brother is older, and I can't persuade him, so I think of using the identity of your uncles to persuade him to be good. People are not saints and sages, and the eldest brother is not a god, he has been shrewd and capable all his life, and he has only made this mistake, how can he take the position of patriarch in this way, and please think twice about your uncles and elders. ”

There is an elder in the clan who has been out for three generations: "This patriarch is already in charge of supervising the conduct of the children in the clan, if he does not get up properly, how can he hold this position." ”

Jia Liang hurriedly said: "But the patriarch has always been the eldest son and grandson of the long house, and now although Brother Jing has made a mistake, Brother Zhen'er's virtue is also not good, and Brother Rong is young, why take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

Jia Dairu jumped out at this time and said: "Although this has always been the case, it is not without exceptions. If there is no one in the long house who is of good character, the clan also has the right to hand over this position to the second room, as long as it is a person of high moral character. Besides, the patriarch should have put the interests of his clan first, and if he couldn't take on this important responsibility, it would be a good thing to change people earlier. ”

Jia Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately, the position of the patriarch was not so rigid, but also, many big families have also had cases where the patriarch of the family is not the head of the long house. If the person in the long house must be the patriarch, once there is only one child left in the long house, wouldn't it be necessary to let a yellow-mouthed child lead the fate of the whole clan?

However, Jia Liang didn't agree so quickly, but repeatedly insisted on not being the patriarch, just waiting for Jia Jing to quit drugs.

Seeing that the old people in the clan couldn't persuade Jia Yu, they sighed and left, and when these old people left, Jia Mu, who had been sitting next to him silently, spoke.

"It's time to quit drugs first, and if you want to quit, you must really quit cleanly."

Jia Liang looked at Jia's mother and smiled slightly: "It's best if Mother can think like this." ”

Jia Mu pondered for a while and said: "This group of people in Dongfu can't be used, I inquired before I came, and said that the first batch of people sent to Yucai have not yet graduated, and the rest have not yet been trained." This sub-slave has always only praised the high and stepped on the low, and now that they are in charge, they are afraid that they have no intention of supervising it. I asked the mandarin duck to come over, so that he could watch him so that he would not be cranky. ”

Jia Liang was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart, so he smiled and said: "It's so good, but there is only one mandarin duck, she can't help but be busy, there are two big girls around the old lady, I will go back and ask Xing's to send one over." ”

Mother Jia glanced at her eldest son, did not object, got up and only said, "In this case, you quickly settle your eldest brother." Then he went back to Xifu.

Jia Liang watched Jia's mother leave, turned around and instructed the little maid he brought to move Jia Jing to the place, and directly moved him to the small viewing garden connected to the two houses, stuffed it into the small viewing building, and went home to inform his daughter-in-law.

Therefore, when Jia Jing woke up, he only saw mandarin ducks and attackers, and the rest of the people were nowhere to be seen. He had to get rid of his drug addiction in the small viewing building before he could get out.

The process of detoxification is long, but this long process has given Jia Liang a buffer time.

During this time, Jia Liang first sorted out the errand of the mission, and then handed over the recital of the mission, and the sage listened to the above table, and did not say yes or no, only said that he would consider it again.

Jia Liang knew that he was in a hurry, so he only asked people to build their own boats first, so that they could go to the South Seas and pull a few boats of rubber back first.

And Xing Shuang's side, in addition to daily housework, is that the overseer will build a few more Western carriages.

At the same time, Jia Lian's exam was also completed, and Jia Yun still took it back, and in the following days, Jia Lian recuperated at home and waited for the release of the list. Jia Cong was picked up by Jia Yun every day and continued to study at Mr.

In October, it was finally time to release the list. After Jia Lian was a lord, he crossed the children's test and took the township test directly, and won the tenth place in one fell swoop and got a sub-yuan.

On the day of the release, Xing Shuang heard the news and almost fainted with excitement, but fortunately, Jin Chuan was experienced, and immediately sent someone to seal a big purse to dot the officers and soldiers who reported the good news, and immediately sent someone to notify all parties and courtyards, and the firecrackers outside were also quickly put off.

Jia Lian is much calmer than Xing Shuang, before the exam, Mr. predicted the scope of the exam questions for him, and he felt very sure when he answered the questions himself, but now it is only the township test, and he only feels that he can pass it nine times out of ten, and now he has passed.

When Jia Liang heard the news, he didn't go to class, and he was still discussing the details of the envoy with Shangfeng at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Jia Mu and the others were also overjoyed, and even the second room also sincerely celebrated, you must know that although there are conflicts in this family, they are all a family, and one more person in the family can enter the career, which is a good thing for the family.

Although Jia Zhu was a little depressed at first, when he saw that Jia Lian was so respectful and polite in front of him, his heart was also a lot more relaxed.

I am going to occupy other people's titles, do I still have to be jealous of other people's good exams? Although Jia Lian took a shortcut compared to himself, he gave up another bright road.

Therefore, the whole family celebrated with joy, and sent letters to the relatives of each family everywhere, not to mention it.

In the next few days, gifts from various prefectures and houses were sent to Jiafu. Xing Shuang received all the orders, and none of them pulled down. When Jia Liang laughed at her greed for money, she said: "People are kind, if I refuse, won't I slap them in the face?" If you only accept those who are close, those who are far away must feel that you are taking a shelf. It's better to accept them all together, and then return the gift together. ”

When Jia's mother heard Xingshuang's approach, she also agreed with it, and said to her son during dinner that night: "You can't stay home all day, don't bother your daughter-in-law." Is it easy for you to be this steward? In addition to the things inside, she is also busy with this social matter, which is not much more leisurely than you. ”

Xing Shuang was quite proud of the support of someone, and gave her husband a step down, saying, "If you are afraid that I am too busy and tired, you don't have to worry so much." Although I am not talented, I have younger siblings to help me. ”

As soon as Jia Liang heard what his wife said beautifully, he smiled and passed. However, when Wang heard Xing Shuang say this about himself, his heart warmed a little, and he obeyed Xing Shuang's words in the future.
