Chapter 140: Succession

In the fourteenth year of Longzheng, the fifteenth day of the first month, Shangyuan.

Xicheng Judefang Gonghou Street, Ningguo Mansion Ancestral Hall.

It has only been fifteen days since the last time the ancestral hall of the Jia clan in Ningguo Mansion was opened, but now it is a matter of fact.

Today, there are not many sacrificial delicacies for the ancestors on the offering table, only an orange-yellow brocade silk decree.

Jiafu's will to ask for sealing was finally approved on the day of Shangyuan Festival.

Just wait for Jia Huan to go to the Zongren Mansion to take the seal, he can inherit the title inherited by Ning Guogong, the will of the Emperor, read the honor of Ning Shuxun, and specially allow Jia Huan to attack the first-class viscount.

And Jia Lian also attacked Jia Yu's first-class general, but did not attack.

Today, the Jia clan opened the ancestral hall, in addition to reporting the good news to the ancestors, there is also that under the witness of the ancestors and the relatives and friends of the Jia family, the great gift of Jia Huanguo inheriting the Ning Mansion was held.

In addition to Jia Mu, Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, Jia Daixiu, Jia Dairu, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and other people of the Jia clan, they also specially invited the aunt of Jiafu, the former detective Hualang, and now Lin Ruhai, who is now the inspector of the salt imperial history, that is, Lin Daiyu's father, who was in Beijing to see His Majesty and caught up with this matter.

In addition, there are also the brother of Mrs. Wang, the prince Teng of the Jingying Festival, the Baoling Hou Shi Nai, the first-class Boniu Jizong of the Zhenguo Mansion, the first-class son of the Liguo Mansion Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Xiuguo Mansion Hou Xiaokang, and many other relatives and friends who are quite related to Jiafu.

In the middle of the table, two chairs are placed horizontally.

Sitting on the left side was Jia Jing with a withered face, his cheekbones were high and there was hardly any flesh visible on his cheeks.

Originally, he cultivated the Tao and cultivated hardship, and ate a lot of heavy metal pills, and recently suffered the great grief of losing his children and grandchildren, seeing his gray hair and beard, everyone felt sympathy and compassion.

Sitting on the right is Jia Zheng, whose face is also not very good.

He wasn't for the death of Jia Yu and others, of course, he was also sad, but today he was even more sad because of his own son, after today, when he saw him again, he could only call his uncle.

Jia Zheng had a total of three sons, the eldest son died early, and the second son ...... Alas, don't mention it, it's a hero in the fat powder pile.

The third son was originally not very successful, but after the first Rongguo Gong, he seemed to be a different person, sensible and caring, and his ability also increased greatly.

Originally, Jia Zheng was counting on this son to win glory for him, but what did he expect......

In the ancestral hall, in a solemn atmosphere, everyone's faces were different.

Jia Huan didn't have the time to pay attention to what they thought, he had been kneeling there for more than half an hour at the moment.

Before dawn this morning, he was called up, and he rode a horse for an hour on a cold day, and did not enter the water, first received the holy decree, tossed for more than an hour, and then drove directly to the ancestral hall.

I started tossing and turning again, and I didn't play anymore.

To be honest, Jia Huan almost couldn't understand the words in the holy decree and the words that were being read in Jia Dairu's mouth now.

Only when Jia Dairu asked him in a long voice, "Do you know", should say "I know", or when he asked, "You can write it down", he should say "write it down".

Other times, Jia Huan's mind was almost empty.

After a long time, Jia Huan felt that Jia Dairu, an old condyle, was almost out of breath, and finally finished reading.

Then Jia Rui came from behind with a tea tray with two tea cups on it.

Jia Huan took a cup together, and saluted Jia Zheng with both hands, after this cup of tea was handed away, it represented the end of a father-son relationship.

Jia Zheng's eyes were slightly red, and he finally stopped hiding his love for his young son in front of others, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he was reluctant to take the tea cup in Jia Huan's hand.

Jia Huan also felt uncomfortable when he saw it, to be honest, since he crossed over, Jia Zheng has been very good to him.

Although he was driven out of Jiafu, every time he saw him, he gave almost all the money, and he was not as scolding him as he was to Jia Baoyu.

Thinking of Jia Zheng's goodness, Jia Huan only felt that his nose was sore, and tears flowed down.

This time, Jia Huan did not fake again, the admiration and attachment in his eyes, everyone who came to watch the ceremony nodded one after another.

It is very rare to be sincere and not think of a high-ranking nobleman.

"Ahem!"

On the side, although Jia Dairu was also very satisfied, he had to remind Jia Zheng that this is not the time for children to grow up, after all, the holy decree has come down......

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Dairu's voice, his body trembled slightly, and then he trembled his hands, took the tea cup in Jia Huan's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, you must be filial to you...... Father, can't you remember it for me? ”

Jia Huan couldn't stop crying, and choked up: "Father...... Uncle, child...... The nephew made a note of it. ”

After that, Jia Huan kowtowed to Jia Zheng heavily, and Jia Zheng turned his head sadly and waved his hand......

The atmosphere was extremely sad.

After Jia Huan got up, he took another cup of tea from Jia Ruito's tea tray, looked at Jia Jing with a withered face and complicated eyes, and said respectfully: "Father, please use tea." ”

Jia Jingchang sighed, took the teacup, and said, "Huan'er, in the future, the lintel of Ningguo Mansion will depend on you, I hope you don't let me down." Jia Huan, the burden of the Jia clan will be taken over by you from today onwards. ”

Jia Huan said in a deep voice: "I will live up to my father's trust!" ”

Jia Jing took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "Get up, go and kowtow to the ancestor." ”

Jia Huan should get down, and then walked to Jia Mu on the left, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Ancestor, grandson, please be safe from the ancestor!" ”

Mother Jia's face is not much better than Jia Zheng's, and she really can't bear this grandson who is now more and more breathing, but she can't help it, she sighed and admonished: "Get up, now your identity is different, act in the future, think about it more, from today onwards, you will not represent yourself alone, but our Jia family, representing the second prince of Rongning, remember?" ”

When Jia Huan heard this, he said: "Grandson remembers the teachings of the ancestors. ”

After staring at Jia Huan for a long time, Jia Mu sighed again.

The atmosphere is still a little heavy and sad.

"Ancestor, why be sad? Even if Brother Huan'er succeeds to Ningguo's side to inherit the heir, is it still your grandson? The two places are close to each other, if you miss him, just let him come over every day to greet your old man. Does he dare to say a word? ”

Bowling Hou Shi Nai may think that Jia's mother is his own aunt, so he speaks very casually.

Jia Mu glanced at him lightly and said: "Brother Huan'er will be the patriarch of the Jia clan in the future, and he will practice martial arts every day, now is the time to lay the foundation, how can he have so much time to do these face-saving things?" When he is free, I will be relieved to see my old wife. ”

Niu Jizong smiled on the side: "Ancestor, you are really virtuous!" It is a great blessing for Brother Huan to have a grandmother like you. ”

Liu Fang and Hou Xiaokang also laughed and said: "Exactly, it is indeed the blessing of Brother Huan." ”

Mother Jia smiled faintly and said, "It is also my blessing for the old woman to have such a grandson." Otherwise, when I die, how will I have the face to see the ancestors and fathers who are offered in this hall? ”

……

The ancestral hall was closed again, and the people dispersed.

In the end, Jia Jing didn't even look at Ning Guofu and Jia Huan, and drove back to the Xuanzhen Temple to retreat and practice, accompanied by two little Taoist priests.

I am afraid that this place has become a lingering obstacle in his practice.

Under the service of Jia Zheng and others, Jia Mu also returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai went to see his daughter, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and others, told Jia Huan a few words, let him just go to them if he had something to do, and then they also left, they were not idlers.

After the others left, Jia Huan always stood in front of the gate of Ning Guofu and did not move.

Behind him, there stood a large number of minions of Ning Guofu.

The leader is the governor of Ningguo Mansion, the younger brother of Lai Da, the governor of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Er, who also called the ascendant.

Lai Da and Lai's two brothers are the sons of the handmaiden Lai Mama, the ancestor of Rongguo.

In the family, the status of the Lai family is even higher than that of ordinary masters.

"Second Master ......"

Xu was standing for too long, and Lai Er was afraid that Jia Huan would freeze out, so he quietly stepped forward and called.

When Jia Huan heard this, he frowned and said, "Second master? From which generation is this from? ”

Lai Er's face froze with a smile, and said: "Uncle Xianzhen has gone, and now the master has inherited the heir under the name of the master, so he is naturally the second master." ”

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "It's not like this, Big Brother Zhen is down, it's the second brother of the chain, because he thought that the two of them would inherit the knighthood in the future, so the two of them were taken out of the row." Otherwise, the second brother of the chain would be the eldest son and grandson of Rongguo Changfang. Therefore, now I should be ranked below Brother Xianzhen and Second Brother Lian, or the third. In the future, you should still call me the third master. ”

When Lai Er heard this, his face was a little tangled, but he couldn't say that Jia Huan was crooked, because Jia Huan's explanation could also make sense, and now this huge Ning Guofu is already Jia Huan's housekeeper, in the end, he is just a housekeeper, no matter how decent he is, can he still be the master of the house decently?

So, Lai Er simply stopped quibbling and said with a smile: "In the end, the master is wise, he thinks more thoughtfully than us, and he sees it more clearly than a slave like us." ”

Although what he said sounded good, Jia Huan did not have a good impression of the people of the Lai family in his heart.

According to the original book, after the second mansion of Rongning lost power, among the minions who fell into the well, there were a group of Lai family.

Jia Zheng went out as an official and was short of money, so he sent someone to Lai's eldest son Lai Shangrong to borrow two hundred taels of silver.

That Lai Shangrong was just a slave and gave birth to a son from the Yangzi family, and with the grace of Jia's mother, he let himself go, and then went to the door of the Jia family, and then chose a county magistrate of Zhizhou.

But when Jia Zheng went to borrow two hundred taels of silver, the eight lambs actually gave twenty taels......

This is not borrowing silver, this is humiliating Jia Zheng.

And Lai Shangrong was worried about Jia Zheng's revenge, so he hurriedly wrote a letter home, asking the Lai family to break off the relationship with the Jia family as soon as possible.

It can be seen that the Lai family, who has received the great kindness of Jiafu, and the servants who are placed in piles of silver at home, are not loyal servants.

It's just that......

Jia Huan has just taken over Ning Guofu, and his examination has not yet passed, and the title has not yet been raised.

It is not advisable to make a big move for the time being.
