Soul of reincarnation

Back in Beijing, Jia Cong nodded to Mrs. Xing for the marriage.

After Jia Cong got married to Mrs. Lu, Ping'er was very smart and took the initiative to retreat. After Mrs. Lu got a handle on the housework at home, she stopped taking care of things and concentrated on taking care of Qiaojie.

Mrs. Lu is quite smart. While managing the housework, while being filial and flattering to Mrs. Xing, she did not forget to take care of her sister-in-law and niece.

Jia Cong reciprocated, and also took Lu's younger brother to the mansion to be raised, and taught him to read himself.

The Lu family was also very competitive, and soon gave birth to the eldest son Jia Xuan and the second son Jia Fang, both of whom were named after Jia She.Knowing that Jia Cong had a son, Jia Amnesty finally breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly said that the Lu family is blessed, and that even if Jia Lian couldn't bear him a grandson for a while, he would not die.

A few years later, Jia Cong's family welcomed Jia She, Jia Lian and his son back.

In the eyes of Mrs. Xing and Lian's second sister-in-law, Ping'er, Jia She and Jia Lian are now dark and thin, and they are suffering at first sight.But for Jia Cong, who sees his father and brother every year, he is used to it. As long as they are in good health, there will be no problem.

When Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian came home, they each brought two servants, so the house was extremely crowded.

But they are a commoner's house now, so it's not easy to buy a big house and move there, it's too conspicuous!

So Jia Cong bought four small villages one or two days away from the middle of Beijing on the trading machine, and arranged for these four servants who were very trusted by Jia She and Jia Lian to be the heads of the villages and look after Zhuangzi.

Now Jia's house doesn't look so crowded.

In the past few years, Jia Cong also bought a few farms, plus a few small houses in Beijing, all of which were included in the public account, and handed over to the Lu family to collect the income every year, and use these income to maintain daily expenses.The Lu family is good at housekeeping, and can save a lot of money every year.

Over the years, Jia Cong has successively sent silver to his father and brother. Jia She and Jia Lian both hold 5000 taels of silver in their hands.Now that I have two more farms in my hands, even if I return to Beijing for the first time, I am not afraid of running out of money.

After Jia Cong was acquitted and released, he took a lot of antique property from both Jia She's confidant and Jia She's private house. He didn't intend to keep it for himself, but waited for Jia She to come back and handed it over to Jia She.

Although he is also a son, he knows that in Jia She's view, the concubine and concubine are distinct. If these property can be left to Jia Lian, Jia She is still willing to leave it to the eldest son.

However, in order not to expose the money he saved with the trader, he could not reveal that he could sell those antiques at a high price through the trader.Jia Cong calculated the expenses of these years and the money given to Jia She and his son before, and then calculated the discounted price of the antiques.Adding, subtracting, and subtracting, finally took 3 taels of silver notes to Jia Amnesty.

Even so, Jia Amnesty felt in his heart that Jia Cong had a good character.If it were someone else, how could he take care of his father and brother all these years, and finally took out this huge sum of money.

Jia Amnesty was also unambiguous, immediately called Jia Lian and gave him 2 taels, and returned the remaining 1 taels to Jia Cong.Said it was a separation.

Jia Amnesty has experienced ups and downs, so what can't be ignored.Divide the money, and the two sons will not have conflicts over trivial matters in the future.Even when Jia Lian returned to Beijing for the first time, he would not feel like he was living under the fence.Even because he said it clearly, Jia Lian was more grateful for trusting Jia Cong, a concubine brother.

Jia She and his son returned home, and Jia Zheng also returned. Only then did they know that the second wife, Mrs. Wang, had died in exile.Jia Zheng recovered his health at Jia Huan's house. I don't know if it was because he missed Jia Baoyu, his son-in-law, or because his family was defeated and he was ashamed to stay in Beijing, so he soon asked Jia Huan to send him south to Jinling.

However, Jia Zhenjia Rong and his son had no news at all, and they did not return to Beijing.

I don't know if it's because of the inconvenience of sending letters, or the house that went south to Jinling didn't intend to continue communicating with this side. After they returned to Jinling, they didn't have any correspondence with each other.

Even Jia Lan who is still in the capital, because the patriarch Jia Zhen was convicted at the time, all the families in the capital have separated and established their own clans, and they don't even have to gather together to worship their ancestors. They have never seen each other these years.

Because his father and brother were pardoned, Jia Cong could take the imperial examination.He went to find Jia Huan, but these years Jia Huan got married and had children, took care of the family business, lived a comfortable life, and forgot the Four Books and Five Classics.Let him take the exam, he may not even pass the Tongsheng exam now.

Jia Cong had no choice but to go by himself. He passed the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination smoothly, and was admitted to the second list of Jinshi.And Jia Lan, who may have studied hard at her uncle's house for many years, also won the second list of Jinshi in this session.

They are two cousins, uncles and nephews, and they are of the same age.However, they have been indifferent for many years, and Jia Cong and Jia Lan just nodded and greeted each other, without any more expressions.

Jia Cong is not without complaints about Jia Lan. He feels that he is too influenced by his mother, so he could change his surname to Li.

In the past, even if the Jia family did not treat Jia Lan as well as Jia Baoyu, they did not treat their mother and son badly.He was also raised with the Jia family's money, and the old lady didn't forget to give him a share of the money when she passed away.

As a result, Jia Lan seemed to have forgotten her surname Jia, and seemed to dislike Jia's family members very much, and she did not even want to see them during the holidays.Could it be that he disliked the Jia family's conviction?

Just like he and Jia Huan didn't have a good relationship before.But after coming out to settle down, they can also support each other to live. Everyone is surnamed Jia, so they are more trustworthy than outsiders.

Jia Cong always felt that Li Wan's mother and son had hatred in their hearts, but he didn't know where the hatred came from.In terms of treatment, the treatment of the two bastards, he and Jia Huan, was not as good as that of Jia Lan.

They didn't enjoy many blessings, and they didn't do anything illegal. When the Jia family was convicted, they would also be implicated.They didn't hate anything, because their surname was Jia, and their roots were here.

After the palace examination, Jia Cong and Jia Lan also chose different paths.

Jia Cong knew that he had no connections and was not very good at being an official, so he went to the Imperial Academy to be a good scholar, and wanted to go to the Imperial Academy to study for a few more years.

Jia Lan didn't know what he planned, but with the help of his uncle, he managed to get a post as a county magistrate, and soon took his mother to take up the post.

When Jia Cong became a good scholar, the Jia family could live in a slightly larger house, and the Jia family could also use a few servants.

Before Jia Cong could find the house, Jia Amnesty bought a big house with 5000 taels of silver in his hand.He also clearly stated that this house and the two farms in his hands will belong to Jia Lian after a hundred years, and of course the Xing family will also be taken care of by Jia Lian.

Jia Cong also understood his approach, letting Jia Lian live in his brother's house always felt like being dependent on others.With Jia Lian's current wealth, it's not that he can't afford a house, but Jia Amnesty wants both of his sons to live in front of him.

What's more, when Jia Cong became an official, Jia Lian now needs a backer to start a family business and do some business.

So the whole family moved into the big house.

Although the two householders live with their parents, the family business has already been divided.Therefore, there is no need to worry about any conflicts between the two sisters-in-law.Now the entire Jia family is under the control of Ping'er. Jia Cong knew that Jia She didn't have much money in his hands except for the two farmers, so he asked Lu to pay a sum of money every year to his second sister-in-law, Ping'er. It's pretty cool.

Lu's naturally felt that it was better to be the master of the family before, but the world is like this, parents do not separate the family.

It's still good now, although they still live together, the family business has been divided, and they don't worry about their own losses in the future.

Jia Cong had already handed over the 1 taels returned by Jia Amnesty to Lu, and asked her to watch over the family business.The Lu family is extremely shrewd. Apart from buying land, he also added a few shops.

Jia Amnesty worried that Ping'er was too old to have a son, and wanted to buy a concubine for Jia Lian, but Jia Lian stopped him, saying that if he had no son in two years, he would consider taking a concubine.Jia Lian and Ping'er already had a relationship, and he was grateful to her for taking good care of Qiao Jie.Although Ping'er is just a girl to help her upright, if she can give birth to a son, she is still a legitimate son.Why add to the chaos of outsiders?After many years of exile, Jia Lian is not considered young anymore, even Sister Qiao is going to talk about marriage, and he is no longer so easily attracted by beauty.

Jia Cong passed the Jinshi examination, and many families came to congratulate him, except Jia Huan and Jia Yun's close clansmen, the Zhang family Jia Yingchun married, and Jia Daishan's old soldiers. Grandma's family, these people who have been in contact with Jia Cong for many years.

The so-called poor and lowly friends should not be forgotten. These people who still maintain friendship with the Jia family after the Jia family fell to the bottom are of course the guests of the Jia family.

Jia Cong has no background, and Jia Yingchun's husband's family is an honorable military officer, so he can't help much with civil servants.His daughter-in-law's natal family, Lu's family, still rely on him to pull them out.Jia Lan's nephew didn't intend to help him either.

So three years later, when their class of shuji scholars disbanded, Jia Cong didn't consider entering the Six Departments, or finding a vacancy to become an official outside.If there is no one to help, Jia Cong may have to wait for several years just to wait.

Jia Cong was admitted to the Hanlin Academy directly when he was taking the exam at the dismissal hall, and became a Hanlin official.Although he has no power and no gray income, it is a good choice for him to be a stable official.

Jia Cong now has a teacher in the same year, and he also made friends with a few like-minded people who are dedicated to studying in the Imperial Academy.Having known each other for a long time, others also know that he is profoundly knowledgeable, and he devotes himself to studying, and power disputes are not involved in him.

Jia Cong is very clear about his character, strengths and weaknesses. He is not good at dealing with people, nor does he understand specific people's livelihood and sentiments.In this life, I have never been in the Six Departments, nor have I worked as a magistrate, county magistrate, or other foreign office that specifically manages civil affairs and people's livelihood.

He was an official in the Imperial Academy, taught in the Imperial College, was an examiner in the provincial examinations, and also served as an academic and political officer. He spent his whole life as an academic officer in charge of learning.Although he has little power, he can be called a great Confucian and is respected by students.In the end, he achieved the position of Sanpin Guozijian Jijiu, and he also became an official in this position.

Jia She died without any illness at the age of eighty. When he passed away, his great-grandson had seen him, and he was satisfied and passed away peacefully.

Jia Lian was shrewd and capable, managed a considerable family business, and sent his son to study with Jia Cong.Although his son's talent is limited and he passed the examination, his grandson's talent is good and he passed the examination as a Jinshi, and someone in their family became an official.

Jia Cong's children and grandchildren also have their own achievements in their careers.

Even Yingchun, the youngest son of the Zhang family, was sent by his mother to study with his second uncle because he could not inherit the title, and finally became a civil servant.

At this time, when people in Beijing mentioned Jia's family, they didn't think of the glorious Second Duke Ning Rong, but the name of Qingliu in the imperial examination.

But Jia Baoyu, who returned to Jinling, did not want to be an official in the imperial examination.On the contrary, his son is very talented and has a bright future.After Jia Zheng's death, Jia Baoyu became impatient and became a monk.And Xue Baochai even has a grandson, and his son has a future, so he doesn't care about it at all.

On the contrary, Jia Lan's official career has developed well, and his promotion is also fast.I don't know if it is because of too much effort, but it is also difficult to die of illness and leave orphans and widows.Now, Li Wan will teach his grandson the same way he taught Jia Lan.At this time, Li Wan took the initiative to walk around with Jia She.Even though he had some complaints about Li Wan, Jia Lan's son was still surnamed Jia, and he couldn't still rely on the Li family, so Jia Cong took over his studies.Only then did the two families live in harmony again.

Because Jia Cong has been an academic officer for many years, the descendants of Jia's family and the children of relatives and friends all benefited.Not only can he study with Jia Cong, but it is also easier to be admitted to the Imperial College after graduation.The same kind of rice feeds all kinds of people, not everyone is as bad at practical affairs as Jia Cong, so as officials gradually become officials, the Jia family gradually gains some power.

However, the Jia family has always used only a few rough servants to do some work such as kitchen, laundry, cleaning, gatekeeper, and horse feeding. Even the shopping, making clothes, shoes and socks are all done by the female relatives themselves.

Affected by the family tradition, the Jia family can no longer raise playboys.
