◎ Please advise, how can our family break the impasse?◎

"We don't want to be like the Zhen family in Jinling..."

It turns out that this is the real purpose of Jia Zheng and his wife's visit.

Since Jia Zheng said so directly, it seems that he has no other choice and is going to reveal his cards directly.

Emma, ​​this second uncle is so frank all of a sudden, it seems a bit unreasonable not to give a response.

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Yu, and soon decided that he, as the father, should speak up and "decline politely" - since it has to be declined anyway, it doesn't matter whether it is declined politely or not.

Since Lin Ruhai took the initiative to express his intention to do so, Mo Yu was happy to cooperate, and immediately shut his mouth and waited for Lin Ruhai's performance.

Lin Ruhai coughed lightly and began to present facts and reason to Jia Zheng.

To be honest, although what Lin Ruhai said was not pleasant to hear, it was all practical. If it were not for Jia Min's sake, he should have kicked Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang out. After all, it was too speechless to come to someone's door and cause trouble.

Mo Yu, who was watching from the side, felt that this second uncle was really confused. He was old, and he looked serious when he had nothing to do. He could even teach the younger generation a lesson when he saw them.

I never thought that he would lose his temper when he encountered something. He was just talking nonsense now, even after begging twice.

Apart from other things, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu are still watching there. I really don’t know what to say about him...

Oh, yes, speaking of which, Jia Baoyu is still here.

Why is there no sound for such a long time?

Could he be scared silly?

Mo Yu glanced at Jia Baoyu, who was curled up in the corner with a depressed look on his face for some reason. Seeing that he didn’t bother her, she was happy to be quiet. She just changed to a more comfortable posture and started eating melon.

In fact, the situation of the Jia family is not impossible to break, but I don’t know if Jia Zheng has the courage and guts to do it.

After all, it seems that Jia’s mother is still the head of their Rongguo Mansion, and I don’t know if Jia Zheng’s words will work... It doesn’t matter

. It seems that if he is the head, he can really do the same as Lin Ruhai’s suggestion.

Mo Yu was still complaining here, not noticing that Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng had strange facial expressions.

Lin Ruhai was just talking halfway, and was going to send Jia Zheng away with a few fake polite words, but he didn't expect that he would be ruined by Mo Yu as soon as he started - this kid, how come he is still like when he was a child, and likes to talk nonsense.

But it's better this way, so he doesn't have to go through the trouble of finding excuses to fool Jia Zheng.

He really has run out of patience with this second brother-in-law, and they can no longer be as close as they were when they were classmates at the Imperial College in Beijing 20 years ago.

People always change.

Especially them.

Now one of them is immersed in officialdom and has become a celebrity in front of Master Kang.

The other one had no chance to pass the imperial examination, but he got a job as the director of the Ministry of Works by relying on a will submitted by his deceased father before his death. He was a low-ranking official with no rank, and he was working in a place like the Ministry of Works where there was no money to be made, but he was still struggling.

So, when you are studying, you really can't see anything.

At that time, Lin Ruhai thought that this second brother-in-law was really something, at least he looked like a romantic and suave person, but he never thought that this person was "golden outside and jade, but rotten inside".

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.

When they were classmates in their youth, they didn't need to bear any family pressure.

Of course, both of them were still young at that time, and they were just classmates, not relatives in law.

After all, Lin Ruhai was several years younger than Jia Zheng, and Jia Min was two or three years younger than him. At that time, she was still a little girl under ten years old, and she was not yet at the age of marriage.

It was this kind of classmate relationship without any in-law relationship that was the most comfortable.

Moreover, Jia Zheng was the second Jia Baoyu in his life.

This type of person is definitely very good as a friend, but when everyone grows up and starts to take on the responsibilities they should bear, things become not so wonderful.

Because Jia Zheng didn't understand the ways of the world, he was only a fifth-rank official after working in the Ministry of Works for many years. It can be said that he had basically no hope in his official career.

In fact, if he had been honest and focused and stayed in the position of official, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Anyway, there was no title for him to inherit in his family. It would be good for him to just do a job and earn some salary to support his family.

The fact that Jia Yuanchun was sent to the palace to be a maid was a big mistake he made.

Of course, Jia's mother also agreed to this idea, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea.

It can be said that there is no idea more speechless than this.

What kind of person would send his teenage daughter into the palace to serve an emperor who could be her grandfather?

Obviously, the Jia family was really anxious.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun was a sensible person, and she finally got out of that cage with many efforts.

Now she is married to Prince Ping, and is his principal wife. Although there are some problems, it is better than being a "virtuous concubine" in the palace and then "dying young".

It's a pity for Jia Zhu.

If Jia Zhu hadn't died, maybe the Jia family would have a chance to turn things around.

Now...

Looking at Jia Lan, the only son left by Jia Zhu, he seems to be a good student, but he is a little too cold-hearted, and I'm afraid he won't be a "savior".

The Jia family might really be doomed.

No matter how you look at it, it's like this. So don't fight anymore, just lie down and wait for death - this is the only thing you can do now, and it's also the only key to a chance of breaking through.

You didn't expect it, did you?

The key to the Jia family's current situation is not hard work, but sloppiness.

The main reason is that their ancestors were too capable.

What does it mean to follow Huang Taiji to conquer the world? Even Master Kang has to think carefully about this military achievement - he has to take good care of the emperor's favorite general.

However, this kind of thing is still fresh for a day or two, and it is an obligation for a year or two. If it takes decades, it will be torture.

It just so happens that the Jia family has been passed down to Jia Zheng's generation, which is exactly the third generation.

It is said that wealth cannot last for more than three generations, but it can be seen that their generation is also the limit.

Everyone wants to save themselves, but if I really give you a suggestion, do you dare to follow it?

Just because you sent Yuanchun into the palace before, and publicized the auspicious sign that Jia Baoyu was "born with jade", you really deserve to die a hundred times, and you still want to get away.

Dream on!

As for now, the only solution is to lie down quickly and show Master Kang that the Jia family has been insignificant since the third generation, especially the fourth generation, without any ambitions. Maybe they can still make a comeback.

Of course, they can't do things like selling official positions or lending money at high interest. That's just courting death.

When I see Sister Feng again, I have to think of a way to remind her. Otherwise, if they continue to play like this, the Jia family will really be finished.

While Mo Yu was thinking about these things, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng continued to chat about their own things.

Of course, this was only superficial calm. In fact, whether it was Lin Ruhai or Jia Zheng, they had already felt mixed emotions under Mo Yu's wave after wave of thoughts. They didn't know what to say.

Lin Ruhai certainly felt a little embarrassed, but Jia Zheng was even more embarrassed.

Indeed, although Mo Ge'er's words were not pleasant to hear, they were indeed true... So this time he came to the right place, and now he has really found a way to save himself?

Jia Zheng looked at Mo Yu, his heart full of gratitude. At this time, he began to regret why this restriction prevented him from saying a word, otherwise, he could express his gratitude to the child.

These words seemed simple, but in fact, they had saved their entire family's lives.

Keeping a low profile was originally a common tactic used by scholars. Jia Zheng was always aloof and liked to be refined. This time, it just happened to hit the spot he was best at. Since then, he has become more humble and low-key in public.

Lin Ruhai finally sent Jia Zheng and his family away, and then smiled at Mo Yu and said, "Mo brother, it's hard for you, a small person, to accompany your father to entertain guests for so long. Next time when you meet guests, you must come to accompany your father."

When Mo Yu heard this, he immediately showed a bitter face. It turned out

that this time was another unprovoked disaster. How come he has to accompany his father in the future?

Then he doesn't have to do his own work?

I'm afraid Master Kang will be the first to disagree.

Thinking of this endless task, Mo Yu felt a little unhappy. Even the donkeys in the production team dare not use it like this, right? He is still a baby!

Mo Yu felt bitter, but of course he would not show it. He just looked at Lin Ruhai quietly and waited for him to continue.

Seeing his precious son like this, Lin Ruhai dared not say anything more. He just joked a few words and sent him back to his room to rest.

Mo Yu also followed suit and went back to his room to rest.

Let's talk about Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu. Jia Min also spent a lot of time and effort to coax the little girl.

Jia Min patted her chest again and again and said, "I will never marry you to your uncle's house." Xiao Daiyu turned from worry to joy, and she was worried about Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu in the flower hall. However, it was not good to go and inquire, so the mother and daughter could only whisper in the room.

After a while, they heard that the Jia family had left, so they came out, but they didn't expect that Mo Yu had been sent back to her room by Lin Ruhai to sleep... There was nothing they could do, children always feel tired, so it's better to sleep more.

After all, Mo Yu is now working in the palace, and her schedule is the same as that of Lin Ruhai, a second-rank official.

Working is hard, it's really pitiful, she should rest more.

Fortunately, everyone in the family is smart, so they sent the Jia family away so quickly, otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to cause trouble.

Seeing that their sons and daughters were asleep, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai returned to the study at the same time and discussed the next countermeasures again... After all, even such a stupid family as the Jia family felt that something was wrong, so the sky in the capital seemed to be really changing.

The Lin family thought that after sending Jia Zheng's family away this time, they could live their lives quietly for the time being.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened that night.
