29. The in-laws of the Jia family are really weird
After speaking, the cousin walked out from behind the desk, and then stood behind Jia Lian, holding Jia Lian's shoulder and pressing it to show encouragement. Then left a sentence.
"If you have something to do in the future, you can go to Nanxunfang East Chang'an Street to find me!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, and he didn't leave a name until he left!
But these words also show the sincerity of his cousin, and he gave his address to Jia Lian, so that he can walk around like a relative in the future. really recognized Jia Lian's cousin.
Jia Lian listened to his cousin's address, and was even more convinced that his cousin was not ordinary.
This ministry, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Tai Hospital, Luan Jiaku are all on this East Chang'an Street, next to the Chengtian Gate, this place is called a convenient place in the early morning.
Nanfufang is the only residential area in the vicinity; To be able to have a house in this place where every inch of land is drilled, it is not a matter of money at all.
Bragging, who dares to say that he has a suite in Beijing First Ring!
And his cousin, as an eight-rank person, has a suite on the edge of the first ring, not to mention, it is still a real estate in a place where important ministers gather.
In this way, my cousin's thighs seem to be thicker than my uncle Zhang Erhe.
Could it be that I, Jia Lian, have really mixed into the network of foreign families? Are you going to soar from now on?
"Happiness came so suddenly! Sure enough, life is one step right, step by step! One wrong step, one wrong step! ”
Jia Lian was stunned in his seat for a while, and cleared his mind!
The mysterious cousin has brought Jia Lian countless happy troubles, but behind these happy troubles are mysteries. And this mystery Jia Lian can't guess it.
First of all, the first mystery is that in addition to the in-laws of the Jia family who are married within the four major families, how can they move around are only the Xing family and the You family, which have no foundation.
Where are the other in-laws?
You must know that Dahuaxia has always been a society of personal feelings; Especially this in-law, that is the most important relationship, second only to the blood clan.
In feudal society, if a person from a large family dies of his wife, he must first obtain the consent of the original wife's family, and the wife who marries in can be regarded as having completed the formal procedures.
This is not simply a family relationship, but also a matter of interests; The dowry of ten miles of red makeup brought by the young lady of a large family is real money, which can support a large family.
Money is still the worst thing that marrying a wife brings, and the power of the mother's family is the most important, and it is a relationship that can be borrowed at a critical time.
Therefore, the reason why sons are preferred in ancient times is because men in small families are strong laborers, and they do not need a bride price to marry a wife, nor do they need a dowry from a woman.
And the wives of large families who marry in with a bride price enter the door with a large dowry and relationships.
Although the dowry is the woman's private property, it will also be inherited by the hostess's children in the future, and it is the man who is the cheapest.
Therefore, this big family with a dead wife remarries, and after marrying into the door, Mrs. Continuation has to walk around the original wife as her mother's family, and the relationship can be regarded as half a daughter of the original family, and she has to call her father and mother with the original wife.
Because this involves the ownership of a large amount of property, the foreigner must control it.
It was because Mrs. Xing did not have this formalities and was not recognized by the Zhang family that she had always been in the Jia family.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian's heart was unbalanced again.
"I just don't think something is right! How can someone who can marry my father be a small family, so where did my mother's large dowry go? ”
That's all his money! It's enough property for Jia Lian's liver pain!
In the past, Jia Lian still thought that it might be that something happened to his family outside the family, and there was no one left, so he was in such a situation.
But in the past two days, I realized that how could a big family die so easily. Didn't Fang Xiaoru, who punished the ten clansmen, also have a lot of clansmen who survived!
A family that can marry with the Guogong Mansion cannot be an ordinary squire clan; I don't dare to say that it is a top wealthy family, at least it has to be a second-rate family!
In particular, what he has seen and heard in the past two days, Jia Lian has seen the tip of the iceberg of the network of foreign relationships;
I dare not say that it is stronger than the previous Jia family, at least much stronger than the declining Jia family; Only then did Jia Lian understand that his family was not so simple!
Uncle, cousin, and uncle-in-law seem to be connected into a line, and there is definitely a net behind this line.
"It turns out that this wife's family is not a simple family, it is also a big network."
Jia Lian sighed with emotion, thinking that this is right! This is like the appearance of an in-law in the government of the country.
But this reveals the strangeness of the Jia family, Rongning, and Ning, and there are many things that Jia Lian can't figure out.
One of the most incomprehensible things is how the Jia family was so clean with his deceased wife's family; There is no etiquette during the New Year's holidays, and there is no in-law to take care of even the house?
Is it really so heartless? Or is there something else?
If it's only Jia Lian, forget it; That Jia Zhen also has a deceased wife, and You is also Jia Zhen's successor, not Jia Rong's biological mother; But who Jia Rong's family is has never been mentioned.
That's not all, Jia Zhen is actually not the first heir of Ning Guofu, but he is a bargain picker, and his brother died before he got the title of a third-class general.
It was because of his example that Mrs. Wang had undeserved ambitions.
There is an elder brother above Jia Zhen, I don't know what it is called, but Jia Qiang is the descendant of this person, and Jia Qiang is the decent great-grandson of Ning Guofu;
But the Red Chamber only mentioned that Jia Qiang's parents died early, and she lived with Jia Zhen since she was a child, and she was more handsome than Jia Rong. Although he goes to school every day, he is just covering his eyes, and he is still a cockfighting lackey, enjoying flowers and willows.
But he didn't say a word about who his family was.
How can a family that can marry a decent descendant of Jia Jianing's Guofu be a small family?
If the parents died early, could it be that the foreign family was also dead, and they could watch Jia Qiang's child grow crooked under Jia Zhen's doting and Jia Rong's help, and he didn't care at all?
Jia Lian didn't believe it, he knew that grandma hurt her grandson, it really hurt!
And that's not even the weirdest of all! Jia Jing, a serious family member in Naning Mansion, is the strangest.
Although he is now a Taoist priest, he should naturally have a serious wife if he can give birth to Jia Zhen and the brothers;
can be the wife of a promising son who has been admitted to the Jinshi Mansion in the Guogong Mansion, and I dare not say that her background is stronger than Jia Lian's biological mother Zhang, at least it will not be worse.
But even if Jia Jing is a monk and jumps out of this world, why haven't I seen Jia Zhen and his family walk around!
That's his own family.
Even if you don't ask, you have to have some news, huh? Let's go for the three festivals and two birthdays.
But there are so many characters in the Red Mansion, and there is no clear such person on the gift list of in-laws.
This is too thin compared to the way Jia's mother and his son-in-law walked around.
Look at Mother Jia, when her daughter died, she pointed fingers at the Lin family, this is what a serious foreigner should do; Why is it that the Jia family's foreign family is all silent, except for one Wang family.
Is it really that people take tea and cool it so thoroughly? Or is there a reason why I can't say it!
If Jia Lian hadn't licked his face and took the initiative to walk around with his family, he really wouldn't have noticed the weirdness in it.
"It's strange, it's strange!"
