Chapter 382: It’s Not Easy to Get a Good Job (Please Subscribe)

Master Pardon is gone!

He walked quietly and quite peacefully!

He did not hang on a woman's belly, but passed away quietly in his study room while admiring antiques.

The time happened to be ten days after Jia Cong got married!

Soon, the news spread, and Ning Rong's second mansion was in complete silence.

When it comes to sadness, almost no one has such an emotion.

In fact, everyone has already been prepared for the possible death of the great master.

For no other reason than Jia Cong's wedding, which was such a glorious event, the eldest man had to be helped to show his face. It was obvious that his body could not even withstand the torment of the wedding.

It's just that no one expected that the elder's body and bones were already so weak.

Fortunately, both the Spring Festival and Jia Cong's wedding have been completed, otherwise we would have to wait at least three years!

No matter what, the death of the eldest master is a big event for the Rong Mansion and even the entire Jia family in the capital.

Jia Cong immediately took a long leave and prepared to observe mourning for three years!

Jia Lian, who had just attended Jia Cong's wedding and had just returned to rule, also took a three-year leave.

There is no way, Da Qian rules the world with filial piety. Unless they are the favorites of the current emperor, there is no possibility of stealing his love!

Jia Huan also asked for a year's leave from today. As a nephew, it is appropriate for him to observe mourning for one year.

Unexpectedly, Master Zheng also asked for a month's leave from the court, and his expression was quite sad.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that although he and the elder don't deal with each other, they are brothers after all.

Even after living in the same house for more than fifty years, how is it possible to say that there is no emotion at all?

But as a biological brother, there is no need to observe filial piety or anything like that.

The old lady's expression was quite calm, and she had obviously been mentally prepared for it.

Mrs. Xing cried more sadly, but no one would think that she was crying because of the eldest man.

The eldest man's attitude towards her was quite bad as a couple.

And given Mrs. Xing's character, she is probably worried about her future life after the death of the eldest master!

This is actually easy to understand as long as you know Mrs. Xing's living conditions in recent years.

In Zhuangzi outside the city, Mrs. Xing's life was quite comfortable and her life was quite leisurely.

Being able to manage the housework and make money, the sons and daughters of Zhuangzi's family are very respectful to her. Naturally, she wants to continue living in this state of life.

And the premise of all this is that the big master is still alive!

Fortunately, brothers Jia Lian and Jia Cong came forward in time and ensured that she would have a peaceful and comfortable old age, which made Mrs. Xing less 'outstanding'.

In short, Rongfu holds a big funeral.

On the day of the funeral, sacrifice tents were set up in front of the entire noble family in the capital.

The four princes, eight princes, twelve princes, as well as the remaining uncles' houses, and even many families from Taizong Congxun expressed their opinions. This scene was quite majestic.

At least, it was even grander than the scene at Qin Keqing's funeral in the original Red Mansions novel.

In fact, everyone knew very well that if the royal clan members were not so explicit, I am afraid that all the clan clan members headed by Prince Zhongshun would behave accordingly.

For no other reason, everyone is willing to give such face due to the entanglement of interests.

It will be easier to negotiate when Rongfu returns the favor in the future.

Because Mr. She was originally from Jinling, Daqian was all about "fallen leaves returning to their roots".

Therefore, the eldest master's coffin will be temporarily placed in the Jia family's temple, Tiejian Temple.

After Jia Lian and Jia Cong completed their hundred days of mourning, they carried the coffin south for burial.

During this period, all festive activities in Rongfu and the Jia family in the capital will be terminated.

Of course, outsiders won't care what happens in private.

But if something goes wrong during the mourning period and outsiders find out, it will be a heavy blow to the family's reputation.

All in all, the great master’s funeral was quite a scene!

Although Rong Mansion has not yet returned to its peak state, its influence is not weak at all, and can even be said to have reached a higher level.

After the elder's funeral, the entire Rong Mansion, or the entire Jia family in the capital, seemed to have fallen into a state of silence. Naturally, this was not the case.

The large study room in the front yard of Rong Mansion is the Mengpo Zhai of the second master Zheng. Most of the core members of the Jia family in the capital are here, even Lin Ruhai.

After all, after his uncle passed away, it was normal for Lin Ruhai to take a few days off to express his condolences.

"Second brother Lian, and brother Cong, after you carry the coffin and go south, you will be in control of the situation in the south. Don't have anything to do with the Zhen family!"

"Your task is not easy. Allocating grain, grass and supplies, those families in the south will not be so honest and peaceful, so it will be a struggle!"

"Use as much power as you can. If you encounter trouble, don't cover it up. Directly ask for help from the princes, clans, and nobles!"

"Although what you do is mainly to help the family improve its strength, it is also a disguised form of help. If you can use external help, don't be polite. They won't be grateful to us!"

"Actually, it's a good thing that we can be quiet for a while!"

"After all, Brother Cong and I are so eye-catching that we may have been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many forces. I don't want to be stabbed in the back!"

"It just so happens that there are basically no major wars in Daqian. We can focus on developing the territories outside the sea and the territories in the southwest!"

In the big study room, only Jia Huan's voice was heard, while the others listened carefully.

I have to say that the status and strength are quite amazing!

Even Master Zheng was obviously not very interested in such things, but he didn't say much.

"Brother Huan, do you want to give up the foundation here in Daqian?"

Lin Ruhai suddenly said: "Why, all you care about is the outer sea and the outer territory?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Jia family members present became energetic, and they were also very curious about this.

Especially Jia Lian and Jia Qiang!

They are considered to be from a traditional dandy background, and have become accustomed to relying on their family for survival and development.

Let them go out and make a living, they really don't have much energy and ability!

They naturally hope that the family will develop as powerful as possible. As for the outer sea and outer territory, they are just used as support, so there is no need to care too much.

Jia Lian and Jia Qiang were right to think so, after all, their positions in officialdom were not high.

I saw too few things and didn’t understand the layout of the court.

The civil service system has become completely enlarged. Unless there is a major turmoil that gives Yu Xungui a group of generals a chance to rise, the situation will only get worse in the future.

Generals as capable as Jia Huan and Jia Cong are similar to Di Qing in the Song Dynasty. They are a thorn in the side of the civil service system, and they must be quickly eliminated.

Today's emperor wants to control the military power, so he naturally makes various small moves to add fuel to the flames.

All said and done, it's all because of the Supreme Emperor's ability to survive.

Even though his body and bones are no longer as good as before, and he even suffers from serious illness from time to time, he still firmly controls most of the military power of the Beijing Camp and the Imperial Guard.

This makes the current emperor feel less secure!

If he wanted to gain military power, he could only attack the noble generals who had military power in their hands.

Military generals with low-level backgrounds may not be in trouble, but military generals with noble backgrounds are the targets and targets of the current emperor.

Under such circumstances, unless you kneel down completely and become a nobleman without real power, the situation will not fundamentally change.

But once the nobles lose their military power, isn't that just meat on the sticky board?

Anyway, Jia Huan would never agree to such a thing where his wealth and life were in the hands of outsiders.

He also didn't want the family behind him to be manipulated by others.

Of course, Jia Huan won't do everything right. Some people are not suitable for moving to outer seas or foreign lands.

Therefore, he answered quite calmly: "Uncle, I will not touch the fundamentals of Rong Mansion!"

"But my uncle should also know that the development of Rong Mansion has reached its limit!"

"No matter whether it is today or the court, it is impossible to restore the mansion to its peak state!"

"Some things must be prepared for a rainy day. In the Rong Mansion alone, the master and the second brother Lian, brother Cong and I are all members of the officialdom, and we are all in high positions!"

"Isn't this scene a little too eye-catching?"

Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement: "It's indeed an eyesore, at least some civil servants can't stand it!"

"But behind, there are Brother Bao, Brother Lan and Brother Zhuo!"

Jia Huan spoke calmly, but what he said was shocking: "If there is a chance, everything must be arranged properly, then it will attract attention!"

"The situation in Ning Mansion is better. Right now, only Brother Qiang is fighting in the officialdom!"

"But when Brother Qiang's son grows up, and Brother Rong's son also grows up, we have to make arrangements for them. The situation will be even more shocking!"

Everyone present looked a little weird at this time.

Just listening to it made them feel a little frightened, let alone if they really wanted to do it all, the Jia family would really be too conspicuous.

Not to mention, as long as the teaching quality of clan studies does not fall behind, many children from the clan will emerge in the future.

Just thinking about it makes my heart go cold!

If during the founding period of the People's Republic of China, when the noble family was the dominant force, such a situation would not be so eye-catching. There were far more exaggerated things than this.

But now that the civil service system is in charge, the Xungui family will definitely not be allowed to compete so well.

When the time comes, all means will definitely be used to suppress and target them crazily.

Once caught in a court battle, the children of Ning Rong's second house would definitely be unlucky.

If not done well, the entire army may even be wiped out.

They had never thought about this in the past, but now Jia Huan has made it clear.

"Those who are willing to fight outside, I will take them all away when the time comes!"

Jia Huan finally said: "If you don't want to leave, then just stay here in Daqian honestly and peacefully, and act in accordance with the rules set by the court!"

"No matter what accident happens, we will all have a safe retreat in the end!"
