45 045 Talent
◎Disgusting! You just want to cheat, right?◎
Jia Zhen and Youshi brought Jia Rong here at this time, obviously not to have dinner.
The three of them also went out today, and came back with Jia Baoyu. Because they heard from the housekeepers that the family of Jia Min, the aunt of the West Mansion, came, and as the younger generation, they must go to the house to greet them.
Therefore, although it was a little late, since they had already returned to the house, the three of them could not pretend not to know, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and hurriedly took the car to come here.
There was no other way. Although the Ning and Rong mansions were neighbors, the main courtyards on both sides were a full street apart. In between, they had to go through many doors and gates, which was really troublesome. If they didn't take a car, it would take at least half an hour to walk, which would be a waste of time.
So Jia Zhen and You Shi ordered someone to harness a car and rush to Rong mansion. Because they were in a hurry, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong also sat in the car, instead of riding a horse or a sedan chair.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were sitting there and didn't feel anything, but You Shi couldn't help but complained with a smile: "It seems that we are all sitting in the car today."
It turned out that today was the day when Jia Zhen, You Shi and their son Jia Rong went to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to pay their respects to their eldest master Jia Jing.
The three of them went there early in the morning and returned around noon. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong rode horses, and You Shi took the car. They traveled so far and went through so much trouble just to show their "filial piety" and sincerity, but they didn't expect to be turned away by Jia Jing again.
Why did they say "again"? There is a reason behind this.
It turned out that Jia Jing was also a different person.
As the legitimate heir of the East Palace, the only legitimate son of the late Ningguo Duke Jia Daihua, he originally had a bright future, and he could have a lot of good days without doing anything.
This is not a good fortune that ordinary people can have. For example, the eldest legitimate son Jia She in the West Palace, although he is also the eldest legitimate son, has a younger brother Jia Zheng who is the second legitimate son to share a share. But even so, his life is considered to be very comfortable, not to mention that Jia Jing is an only child.
Doesn't that mean he can act freely?
However, Master Jing did not follow the common path at all.
Because his eldest brother Jia Fu, who was born to the same mother, died at the age of eight or nine, Jia Jing was the only son who lived to adulthood, so Ningguo Mansion did not have as many problems as Rongguo Mansion, and there was no need to play the game of inheriting the title and the property separately.
Everything in Ningguo Mansion belonged to Jia Jing. What
made people even more envious and jealous was that he not only had such a unique economic foundation and material conditions, but was also a top student.
This Master Jing was very good at studying since he was young. He didn't even have to wait for the death of the Duke of Xianning, Jia Daihua, to ask for some favors for him. He passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. He passed the imperial examination much earlier than Lin Ruhai. He was definitely a young talent, not to mention a young genius.
However, there was only one thing, that is, his luck seemed not very good. Not long after passing the imperial examination, his father Jia Daihua died...
Therefore, he did not serve in the court, but returned to his family to work as a servant for three years. Then, according to reason, he should have prepared to inherit the title, but he was unwilling to do so, so he passed the title to his son. From then on, he devoted himself to practicing Taoism and became a completely idle person.
Mo Yu learned many different versions of gossip about this past event from System 006.
For example, one version said that the reason why this Master Jing was so eccentric was because he had seen his elder brother Jia Fu being beaten to death by their biological father, Xianning Duke Jia Daihua, when he was being beaten and scolded, and he himself was also beaten for decades, which left him with a serious psychological trauma.
Yes, in this version, Jia Jing's brother Jia Fu was beaten to death. The evidence is what Jia Lian's wet nurse, Mama Zhao, said. The old men in the Jia family always educated their sons in a simple and rough manner. It didn't seem like they were educating their sons, but more like they were interrogating thieves...
So, it was normal to scold or beat them a few times, and it was possible that they were beaten to death accidentally. All we can say is that Jia Fu was a child who couldn't stand being beaten... Besides, if a father beats his son to death, he deserves it...
It is conceivable how miserable and repressed Jia Jing's life was in such an environment.
When he finally waited until their father, Duke Jia Daihua of Ningguo, died, and there was no mother like Mrs. Jia of Rongguo Mansion to take charge, he was the most powerful person in the entire Ningguo Mansion, so why not let himself go? He immediately turned the table over and quit.
Don't you beat us brothers every day like you interrogate Mao?
I, the grandpa, would give up, so what?
If you have the guts, crawl out of the coffin and beat me?
...
Well, it feels quite in line with the mental state of contemporary youth.
Another theory is that Jia Jing was unwilling to take the title simply because he did not like it - because the title of Duke of Ning was downgraded to a title of the governor of the Jingying and the general of Shenwei when he inherited it. It sounds like a high position, but it is a military position. Jia Jing likes to read, so asking him to do this is too much to ask.
The more crucial thing is that Jia Jing not only likes to read, but is also very good at reading, otherwise he would not have passed the imperial examination.
Nowadays, ordinary people cannot pass the imperial examination. They must be smart, talented, and hardworking.
Jia Jing must have a talent in this area to pass the imperial examination.
If he had focused on becoming an official, relying on his ancestral shadow and connections, plus his talent from the imperial examination, it would have been very likely that he would have been able to have a successful career, become a king and a prime minister, and eventually successfully lead the Ningguo government to rise and embark on a road to revival. This
is actually the transformation route that the neighboring Rongguo government has been dreaming of - Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu both worked hard on this route, but unfortunately they both failed.
One didn't have the brains, and the other didn't have the fate...
Jia Jing succeeded, but due to some strange circumstances, he was not able to enter the official career, but had to go home to inherit the title, and he had no chance to enter the officialdom from then on. It's still a bit of fate, and it's a pity.
If this happened to an ordinary person, he would be depressed for two days at most. After all, the title of the governor of the Beijing Camp and the first-class general of the Divine Power is a first-class rank. Many people cannot strive for this rank in their entire lives. Jia Jing can get it without doing anything. Isn't this a sure win?
You will laugh even in your dreams.
But Jia Jing is different. He is a top student and is very interested in the Taoist worldview. It can be seen that he is a wise man. His perspective on these things is definitely different from that of ordinary people.
This kind of great thing that ordinary people think is a great thing, but in his eyes, it is only the pain of "getting what you want".
Because it was so painful, he gave up everything and moved directly to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city.
Not to mention becoming a monk, it was basically the same as becoming a monk.
Anyway, he didn't care about all the weddings, funerals, and social affairs of the Jia family.
Even the title was directly inherited by his son Jia Zhen. What else could he not let go of?
Well, it was simply his original intention to pursue the truth.
Of course, in addition to these two versions of the explanation, there is another statement that is even more powerful.
[What kind of thing could make a man leave home in anger, abandon his wealth and glory, and live alone in a Taoist temple? ]
[And not long ago, this man had just passed the imperial examination and was even about to inherit a hereditary title of the first rank. Why would he be so depressed at such a peak moment in his life? 】
【This is exciting to talk about...】
【It is a shocking melon mixed with passionate tug-of-war, a bloody and illicit love affair, and even Xichun's life experience...】
System 006 tirelessly played the information that Mo Yu wanted to know. Mo Yu was "watching" it happily, but suddenly he heard a very violent cough coming from the table.
When he looked up with astonishment, he saw that Jia Zhen had walked in front of him without knowing when, and was staring at him.
I don't know if this brother Zhen coughed too hard just now, not only was his face red, but the expression on his face also looked a little scary at first glance. Mo Yu was taken aback when he saw him. He was thinking whether to say a few polite words and greet him, after all, he didn't look very well. However, Jia Zhen had already tried to force a smile on his face and greeted Mo Yu cordially:
"Is this Brother Mo from my aunt's family? Oh, look at this child, he is really born well."
Hearing Jia Zhen suddenly say such a thing, everyone around him was silent, and Mo Yu was also stunned, not knowing what this brother Zhen was up to.
Mo Yu didn't know, but everyone else present knew it very well.
Yes, why would the dignified governor of the Beijing Camp and a first-class general who had inherited the throne be so humble and awkward to greet a little kid who was less than four years old?
Isn’t it because you, Mo Ge’er, almost took off my underwear just now?
But then again, the inside story that Mo Ge’er just “told” was really exciting...
Emma! I never thought that there would be so much fun in the East Palace!
But what does it have to do with our West Palace?
Because Mo Yu gave too few clues, the crowd who didn’t know the truth couldn’t help but start to observe the people present to see if anyone had a wrong expression.
Unexpectedly, they actually found something.
This time, the one who couldn’t sit still was Jia She, the big boss in the West Palace...
So, this matter is actually related to Big Master She? Could
it be? ?
...
No way?
As the saying goes, "there is no impenetrable wall in the world." Although this matter is a top-secret secret, and the people involved in the matter are no longer alive or have been sent away, there are always a few people who know some fragments. Usually, there are
people who like to gossip when they have nothing to do. Unexpectedly, it was verified by the young man of the Lin family today, and everyone's gossip spirit is simply burning even more. It
just so happens that one of the parties involved is the hated Master She, so the desire to dig deeper into this gossip is even more urgent... Unfortunately,
Master Zhen of the Dongfu is also there, and he has to jump out to save the reputation of their Dongfu no matter what.
Then this gossip may not be heard in full...
What a pity.
I wonder if there is any kind-hearted person who would pull Master Zhen away and let the young man of the Lin family continue to "think" about this matter?
They really want to hear the details.
The crowd of onlookers stared at Mo Yu eagerly, and then secretly looked at Jia Zhen, Jia She, and even Jia's mother. The flames of gossip in their hearts were burning fiercely, almost turning into substance.
Mo Yu knew nothing about this.
He was still being polite to Jia Zhen.
In fact, Jia Zhen's words were really boring.
But he also had a very obvious advantage, that is, he looked pretty good.
In fact, several men in the Jia family had this advantage.
Jia Zhen is now almost thirty years old, and because of proper maintenance, he still doesn't look old like a middle-aged man, but has the elegance of a mature young man.
In terms of appearance, he is quite good, and his speech and behavior are also pleasing to the eye as he has been brought up in a big family.
There is only one thing, when he smiles, he is a little too greasy.
Mo Yu looked at his face, and suddenly remembered the story of "climbing the wall" in the original plot, and the whole person suddenly felt bad.
[I say this brother Zhen, you look quite decent. So why do you want to attack your own daughter-in-law? No... Who on earth would attack his own daughter-in-law? Do you think you are Emperor Minghuang of Tang? You are doing all these messed up things, and you will feel happy if you force Qin Keqing to death, right? What does your son Jia Rong think of you doing this? ]
[Author's words]
Another day of life and death continues!
The New Year's Day holiday is coming soon!
There may be some minor adjustments to the details later, which will not affect the main plot. \(^o^)/~
