Many people know that the Jia family is not as good as day by day, but when did the Jia family start to decline?

The answer is that after the incarnation of Jia Daishan, the old prince of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Dai, the first-class general of Ning Guofu, died, the Jia family inevitably began to decline.

Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion abandoned Jue and left home, and the two rooms of Rongguo Mansion fought, and they did not think of being officials. So much so that the two national mansions were directly placed on the official face, and there was only one person from Jia Zhengqu who was a member of the fifth grade.

However, even if the family is already so ruined, under the leadership of Jia's mother, the Jia family is still living in fresh clothes, magnificent, and boldly exposed the gold and jade.

Because compared with the four kings and eight princes in the early days of the founding of the country, the current Jia family has a closer relationship with the Jinling historians, the Wang family, and the Xue family, and is collectively known as the four major families of Jinling.

There are marriages between each generation of these four families, such as Jia's mother is from the Shi family, outsiders are called Shi Lao Taijun, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are all from the Wang family.

Although the Jia family is on the decline now, the marriage of the Jia family to the Wang family is thriving. Now the head of the Wang family, the brother of Mrs. Wang, and the uncle of Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng, is serving as the envoy of the Jingying Festival.

This Jingying Festival makes the position of a second grade, but also a prominent official, holding the largest military power in the imperial court in the Zhili region, and awarding the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Jia Lian's current boss, Su Lanluting, came to Wang Ziteng and wanted to call himself a subordinate official.

The four major families of Jinling have always been in the same spirit, one is prosperous, one is lost, the Wang family is prominent, and the other four families can naturally be blessed. This is also the reason why the Jia family is declining day by day, but Jia's mother can still enjoy it with peace of mind, if the Wang family does not fall, there will be no trouble for the Jia family.

Mother Jia's mentality has affected the whole Rongguo Mansion, so Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng took advantage of the power of the Wang family to manage the expenses of the Rongguo Mansion as a matter of course. So Jia Lian heard Shi Xiu say that the emperor was dissatisfied with the four kings and eight princes at this time, and he still didn't care much.

……

When Shi Xiu saw Jia Lian like this, he immediately complained a little, but he had been thinking about these things in his heart for a long time.

Shi Xiu said: "The Beijing Mansion is prominent, and he is the only one. Since the abdication of Emperor Taishang, none of our four kings and eight dukes are living as good as one day at a time? Your second uncle has been put in the Ministry of War by the Emperor Taishang since that year, and after the Emperor Taishang's abdication, he has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and has only been promoted from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. ”

Jia Lian frowned and said, "How are you going to go?" ”

Although Shi Xiu is easy to forget himself when he fights, he just works hard, but he is usually a clever person, and he whispered at this time:

"What else, naturally I am looking for an opportunity to show loyalty to the emperor! Putting aside the other mansions for the time being, now that you and I are out of office, they are the emperor's courtiers, and the future is promising, so why bother to be dragged down by the previous ones? ”

Shi Xiu was excited to say this, but Jia Lian's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and said: "If you have this idea, go to find the prince of Beijing, he is a person who wants to support you and me." It's useless for you to talk to me, I'm most impatient with this, it's really annoying to think about such pickled things all day long. If the emperor really doesn't like me, I won't eat the emperor's food. ”

Shi Xiu still had to say, but it was already time to be on duty, and the colleagues who came out of the guard were calling him, Shi Xiu couldn't, so he had to leave with hatred. "Okay, you Jia Lian, it turns out that the essence is still so unlearned..."

Jia Lian was not annoyed when he heard this, only shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave. Shi Xiu looked down on him and didn't want to make progress, he also looked down on Shi Xiu's flies, and his heart to re-befriend Shi Xiu a few days ago suddenly faded, and he felt sorry for Shi Xiu.

Before King Shui Rong left that day, he encouraged Jia Lian to be an official well, just like Shi Xiu. How could Jia Lian not hear this, but with his temperament, he really couldn't do everything possible to seek officials.

If the emperor or the court gives him a promotion one day, he will suffer by himself, if he is asked to sit on a cold bench, he doesn't care, he has to be a guard in the last period, directly release Jiangnan, and find Wu to eat wine with Yang Zhi.

"It's just that this kind of disappointing the kindness of the Water King......" Jia Lian smacked his lips and shook his head to shake the flashing thought out of his mind.

What is it worth, I will repay the water lord when I have the opportunity in the future.

Jia Lian thought like this, but he smiled, left the guard's office, and went out of the noon gate.

Zhao Tianliang Zhao Tiandong had been waiting for a long time for the carriage that came to pick up Jia Lian, and seeing that Jia Lian had not come out for a long time, he was in a hurry.

Jia Lian got into the car, and the carriage ticked and left the imperial city.

Kyoto has two prefectures in the north and south, called Xin'an County in the north and Pingwan County in the south, and Rongguofu is counted in Pingwan County.

Jia Lian's carriage left the imperial city, entered Pingwan County, drove into Ningrong Street, and finally stopped in the back door passage of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian knew that the eldest lord Jia Yu was unhappy with him now, so he no longer entered from the black oil gate, so as not to feel uncomfortable after meeting Jia Yu in the east courtyard of the garden.

Jia Lian got out of the car, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong went to settle the carriage, Jia Lian strode into the Rongguo Mansion, and he was still scolding and sighing, Shi Xiu is a good martial artist, but unfortunately his mind is really inferior...

Xing'er, as Jia Lian's personal servant, waited at the back door for a long time, and when she saw Jia Lian at this time, she hurriedly greeted her, and first congratulated the second master Mu Xiu.

Jia Lian nodded, and finally accepted his complaint.

Xing'er walked with Jia Lian, and talked to him all the way about today's affairs in the house, so that Jia Lian could know the movements in the house.

Xing'er also knew that Jia Lian was impatient with those trivial things, so she only picked out the key points, including the fact that Jia's mother took the eldest girl out of the house today.

The eldest girl is Jia Yuanchun, and when Jia's mother often goes out of the house to concubine Nan'an and other people for banquets, she will bring the Sichun raised by her to see the world, and Jia Lian is the same today.

Xing'er lowered her head and said, when she was about to go out of the back door, Fang stopped the trivial matters in the house, and whispered: "Second master, that old Zhou Rui said that he had something to tell you." ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately stopped his pace, Zhou Rui didn't dare to come to him through Xing'er if he had nothing to do.

This was arranged by Wu Yong before leaving, and asked Zhou Rui's family to sell Mrs. Wang, holding the handle in Jia Lian's hands. Some time ago, when Jia Lian was suffering in the upper courtyard of Jia's mother, it was Zhou Rui who rushed to grit his teeth to save him, if he didn't save it, he couldn't do it, in case Wu used the words of betraying Mrs. Wang's family, with Mrs. Wang's means, how could their family end well.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Rui's family seems to live on this side of the back porch, you go and ask him to come and see me." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Xing'er left in response.

Jia Lian looked around, found a no-one ear room and went in, and waited by the window.

After a while, Xing'er and Zhou Rui came over step by step, and Jia Lian waved at the window and motioned for them to come in and talk.

After entering the ear room, Xing'er stood beside Jia Lian's side, and Zhou Rui saluted first and said, "The little one has seen the second master." ”
