Chapter 115 Jia Zheng: I'm afraid my brother won't agree

In Rongqing Hall, before Jia Zheng took off his official robes and court clothes, he had already stepped over the threshold and entered the hall. Li Wan, Sister Feng, Baoyu, Daiyu, and Tanchun quickly got up and saluted Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's elegant face relaxed slightly, he nodded to Fengwan Baodai and Tanying Xichun, then bowed to Jia's mother and said, "My son has seen his mother."

Jia's mother raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng, frowned, her old eyes showed surprise, and said: "Zheng'er, you came here without changing your court clothes, could something have happened?"

Generally speaking, when Jia Zheng went to court, he had to change into regular clothes at Mrs. Wang or Aunt Zhao, and then greeted Jia Mu. once.

On Jia Zheng's elegant and fair face, there was a touch of complexity. He sighed and said, "Mother, this morning, Jia Ziyu resigned from the title. Jia Ziyu is courteous and virtuous, and the title of Ningguo in the East Mansion is gone."

When Jia's mother heard the words, she was stunned and didn't realize it for a moment. She seemed puzzled and surprised, "Jia Ziyu? Who is Jia Ziyu?"

The word Jia Heng was only used by Han Hui, Yu Zhen, etc. before, but in the past, in terms of the court, and now the princes of the Chen Han Temple, who doesn't know Jia Ziyu.

Jia Zheng explained: "Brother Heng, mother, he has resigned his title now, the Holy Majesty has given his permission, and the imperial decree will arrive at the two prefectures later."

"What about the title? The Holy Majesty didn't say that the title should be inherited by Brother Rong and Brother Qiang?" Jia Mu woke up suddenly, and the spoon in her hand "Bada" fell into the soup bowl with blue cloud pattern, and issued a sound in the Rongqing Hall. There was a crisp sound.

A pair of brilliant eyes looked at Jia Zheng in unison.

A look of disbelief floated on Li Wan's elegant and soft face.

Jia Heng... is he really going to resign?

But can the emperor's golden words be taken back?

Sister Feng's bright and clear Danfeng eyes were also puzzled.

Didn't the old man say earlier that the resignation on the table was just Jia Heng's method of "retreating to advance"?

No, how can you resign from the title?

What a big family business, Jia Heng... Is he a fool? !

The more Sister Feng thought about it, the more her heart trembled inexplicably, and she felt an indescribable emotion growing and entwining in her heart like a vine.

As an outsider, his heart hurts so much that he can't breathe. He has a face as bright as peach pistils, phoenix eyes are confused, and his mouth is slightly opened.

As for Jiamu and Yuanyang, they were equally shocked and inexplicable.

Only Baoyu's eyes were shining like lamps, just like the face of the full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, with a look of infatuation. Xinzhi, I misread him before!"

Dai Yuyu paused for a moment, turned her head and glanced at Baoyu, who was suffering from depression, her brows, which were misty and misty, frowned slightly, and her bright eyes with autumn water also showed ripples of absent-mindedness.

In Tan Chunyingxiu's bright eyebrows and eyes, there is also a look of puzzlement.

Nobility, really don't want it?

What was that Uncle Heng thinking?

Mother Jia was stunned for a while, her lips moved, and she suddenly looked at Jia Zheng.

The big maid, Yuanyang, was holding a handkerchief to wipe the soup splashed on Jia Mu's cuff.

Jia Zheng looked ashamed, and sighed: "Mother, we all misunderstood Brother Heng, he really wants to resign from the title, the title was originally a gift from the Holy Grace, but now it has been taken away, Brother Rong, Brother Qiang and the others... ...cannot be enshrined."

Mother Jia: "..."

So, in the end, the title... is still gone?

After a hundred years, how will she meet the old Ning Guogong under the Nine Springs?

"Zheng'er, what kind of statement did Jia Heng put on that made the Holy Majesty take back the imperial decree? Mother Jia suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously.

As soon as this remark came out, Baoyu, Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun all cast their eyes on Jia Zheng.

Even Sister Feng's face was casual, but she also pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Jia Zheng sighed, and said, "This is the "Cijue Table", which my son copied from the engineering department."

With that said, he took out two folded yellow papers from the armhole.

On this side, Yuanyang reached out to take it, and was about to pass it to Jiamu, but she heard Sister Feng who was at the side say softly: "You can read it, Yuanyang, so that you won't have to find reading glasses for the old ancestor."

Yuanyang was stunned for a moment, and seeing Mother Jia nodded to herself, she picked up the envelope and began to read.

Following the clear and crisp sound of pearls and jade, and correct accent, resounding in Rongqing hall, Jia Mu's complexion changed a few times, her eyes were dazed, and she was speechless for a long time.

Baoyu's complexion was also dull, and he only felt that the words sounded like fairy sounds and echoed in his heart, until he turned around when he said "don't be gracious to your ancestors, but get fame yourself".

There was mist in Daiyu's eyes, but she didn't want that Uncle Heng's life experience...to be so miserable?

And Brother Zhen in the East Mansion, how could he... bully others like that?

"Don't be gracious to Zu Yin, you will get your own fame." Tan Chunfen murmured with her lips moving.

Between the handsome eyes and eyebrows, there was a look of confusion that seemed to be infatuated or angry. The clear and crystal eyes vaguely reflected the tall figure of the young man in the green shirt and the straight shirt, who was looking around with his sword. For some reason, he suddenly felt half-hearted Pat, and suddenly woke up, there was a blush of rouge on both sides of Xue Ni's cheeks.

Xichun wrinkled her nose, pursed her thin lips slightly, and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Seeing the different expressions of people in Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng sighed. He came back from the palace, and he had read these two pieces of paper over and over again.

He felt that every word was like a mountain, and the force was like a thousand junctures, pressing on his heart, almost making him breathless.

Li Wan lowered her head slightly, her beautiful and soft face was a little hot, she just thought that Uncle Heng...Unexpectedly, it was her villain's heart that judged a gentleman's belly.

Only Sister Feng's Liu Shao eyebrows were raised, a charming, light and familiar charm of a young woman in Huaxin overflowed silently from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, slightly neutralizing the sharp charm.

"No, what's new about this letter? Isn't it a resignation?" Sister Feng said with a frown.

She had just listened to what was going on, but she felt at a loss as to why everyone in the room was...

With a gloomy face and complicated and inexplicable emotions, Jia Mu sighed: "Oh... Feng girl, with this expression, even if you are hard-hearted, you will feel unbearable."

Jia Zhengdao: "Mother, as soon as this form was put up, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty praised Ziyu's move. They were inexplicably impressed by Ziyu's move. Unable to bear the extinction of Ningguo's incense, and having a dilemma between reason and reason, my son proposed that Jia Heng should inherit the incense."

"Second Master, he resigned from the title and still inherited the incense, what's the explanation?" Sister Feng Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows and said softly.

But she suddenly remembered the bet she had made with Jia Heng earlier, if Jia Heng's resignation was successful, she would ask the host to make amends and complain.

Sister Feng just felt stuffy in her heart, somewhat unhappy.

Jia Mu paused for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "This is a kindness to him. He will sacrifice to his ancestors and offer incense."

In China's thousands of years of feudal patriarchal society, ancestor worship has always been deeply hidden in the inheritance of blood culture.

The virtuous rulers of ancient times practiced benevolent government in the world, and they never stopped offering sacrifices to others.

Ningguo Dazong was abolished due to a crime, and now the Xiaozong is offering incense.

As far as Jia Heng is concerned, letting Jia Heng preside over the incense sacrifice with the Xiaozong is even more of the emperor's grace, which is equivalent to giving him glory and grace.

"Doesn't that mean that Jia Heng has become the patriarch?" Sister Feng asked with frowned eyebrows.

Jia Zheng said loudly: "Jia Ziyu is the patriarch of our Jia clan, and the glory of all men and women of our Jia clan!"

Li Wan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Sister Feng who was suspicious, and explained softly: "Now he has a great reputation because of his resignation, so it is in line with people's hearts to let him succeed the patriarch."

This is the key point. The persecution of "Jia Heng" by the Jia family has already fallen into the eyes of scholars and public opinion with the fame of "Cijue Biao".

Some details were also placed in front of everyone.

From Jia Zhen's collusion with thieves to being expelled from Jia's family, it can be said that Jia's family has acted as a complete "clown" and has been nailed to the pillar of shame.

Now coming to be the patriarch of the Jia clan and living in Ningguo Mansion is the supreme glory of the Jia Mansion, and it is also the only way to wash away the "stain".

Even, a little exaggeration, the Jia family will cry and ask Jia Heng to be the patriarch.

At this time, Jia's mother was awakened by Li Wan's casual words, and her old face showed surprise. She stared at Jia Zheng and said worriedly: "Zheng'er, the only way to live is by letting him be the patriarch now." Otherwise, the reputation of my Jia family's east and west will be ruined."

Since Jia Heng's resignation is a sage, what is the Jia family who made things difficult and threatened him?

When Jia Mu thought of this, she shuddered.

Tanchun also paused slightly, his clear eyes full of shock.

Jia's mother thought about it for a second, and vaguely thought of another layer. Yuan Chun is now sent to the palace. Now that her mother's family has such a stain, Yuan Chun...

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized the same thing, he couldn't help feeling a sense of fear, looked at Jia Mu, and said worriedly: "Mother, I'm afraid that Ziyu will not be able to resign from the position of patriarch, our reputation..."

Mother Jia also hesitated, thinking of that unyielding concubine, she just felt a headache. After thinking about it, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Sister Feng from the corner of her eye. , Mother-in-law and the others will go to Liutiaoer Hutong early tomorrow morning, and personally invite Jia Heng to worship the ancestors at the Ningguo Ancestral Hall!"

Sister Feng: "..."

Let the Eldest Master and Eldest Wife invite Uncle Hang, the old lady will not be afraid to fight.

Jia Zheng also looked at Jia's mother suspiciously, and said, "Mother, Jia Ziyu hates his brother and sister-in-law deeply. Isn't this going to add fuel to the flames?"

Jia's mother smiled wryly and said, "Don't you know that Jia Heng hates She'er and his wife deeply, but now we have to let him get out of his anger first, and She'er and his old couple make amends to him, and he just needs to get rid of his anger."

Jia Zheng said silently, "I'm afraid my brother won't agree."

With his elder brother's personality, how could he be willing to apologize to Jia Ziyu?

"If he doesn't go, he has to go! He was the one who clamored to get rid of Jiaheng's family membership, but now he has made the clan ashamed to step down. Tell him that if he doesn't go, I will go back to my hometown in Jinling." Jiamu said, His eyes were slightly red again, remembering the loss of the title, he cried: "Even if the old man returns home, he is ashamed to look at others, the title... I lost it! I lost it..."

Apparently, Mother Jia was still brooding over Ning Guo's loss of title, and even felt resentment in her heart, "Brother Heng, you are noble, you are amazing, you don't want a title!"

But the title is passed down from the ancestors...
