Chapter 363 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 34
After being frightened by Jia Lang, Jia Lian was indeed afraid of the Ningguo Mansion, but then he thought of what Jia Lang said about Jia Yuanchun being made a concubine soon, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"Lang Ge'er, do you think that Big Sister will really be crowned as a concubine?"
"What does Jia Yuanchun's title of imperial concubine have to do with you?" Jia Lang really couldn't understand. He had made it so clear, why did Jia Lian still hold on to his luck and think that Jia Yuanchun's title of imperial concubine would be good for him?
"Look at what you said. After all, my elder sister and I grew up together in front of the old lady. We have the same ancestor. Even if the second branch wants to use my elder sister's power to do something, my elder sister herself should not be so foolish as to agree to it."
Jia Lian still trusted the relationship between him and Jia Yuanchun, but what he didn't understand was that Jia Lang didn't want the first wife to benefit from Jia Yuanchun's title as a concubine. It was not because he was really afraid that Jia Yuanchun would support the second wife and snatch the title from the first wife, but so that when the Jia family was liquidated later, the first wife would be able to clear herself more clearly.
Now seeing that Jia Lian was unwilling to give up this honor, Jia Lang lowered his face and stared at Jia Lian's eyes seriously for a while. After confirming that there was only endless greed in this man's eyes, he completely gave up the idea of persuading him.
Respect the fate of others, and everyone will have a bright future!
Jia Lian was fantasizing about how glorious he would be when Jia Yuanchun was made a concubine, and he didn't care about Jia Lang's expression at all. As for Jia Lang's reminder about the trouble behind Jia Yuanchun's making a concubine, Jia Lian naively said that it was the relationship between the daughter of the second wife and their first wife, and if there was really a problem, he would find a way to distance himself from it then.
Jia Lian left Jia Lang's place. As for what he said to Wang Xifeng after he returned, Jia Lang had no idea. He only knew that Wang Xifeng finally went to Ningguo Mansion to help with her pregnancy.
Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, you have to bear the consequences of your own choices. This Jia family is completely hopeless, you should find a way to get out of it as soon as possible.
Jia Lang originally planned to take the imperial examination three years later. After all, a 16-year-old Jinshi was still too young to be trusted by the higher-ups, and it would easily arouse jealousy. By then, even if Jia Lang had achieved fame, he would not be able to obtain a position due to the obstruction of the others. He was even removed by those people before he could even be appointed as an official and see the emperor.
Now Jia Lang thinks that it would be a good idea to take part in the provincial examination this year, get the title of juren first, and then leave Rongguo Mansion in the name of studying abroad, which would perfectly avoid the period when Rongguo Mansion was confiscated and defeated.
But if this happens, Aunt Li will have to stay alone in the Jia Mansion for the next few years, and I don’t know if Aunt Li will be okay?
Jia Lang couldn't make a decision, and finally chose to go to Aunt Li's courtyard and ask Aunt Li what she thought in person.
Aunt Li was really surprised after listening to Jia Lang's analysis. She had always felt that the Jia family was going downhill, but she never expected that the situation of the Jia family was more troublesome than going downhill. According to Erlang, it would take less than three years for the family's property to be confiscated and the family to be imprisoned.
"Erlang, are all the things you said true? Is the situation in the Jia Mansion really that bad?"
Jia Lang knew that Aunt Li did not disbelieve his judgment, she was just surprised. He was not angry and told her all his analysis in detail.
"So, my son believes that the last glorious years of the Jia family were these two years. I don't know exactly when, but I think it will definitely not exceed three years."
"However, the crimes committed by the people in the Jia family will most likely not implicate innocent younger generations and the women in the harem, and naturally will not affect my son's imperial examination. However, being involved will have some impact on my son's reputation."
"It's just that my son can avoid it by himself, but there is a high possibility that he won't be able to come back in time to pick up his aunt, so..."
When Jia Lang said this, Aunt Li immediately understood what she was worried about, and quickly said, "You also said that the women in the back house and the younger generation will be fine. What are you worried about?"
"Even if you are a concubine, you are a good concubine and a free person. Even if the Jia family is really confiscated, you will not be sold like those concubines who were born as slaves, so Erlang, don't worry about you."
"You stay in the Jia Mansion all day, it's so smoky and dirty, your aunt is afraid it will affect your studies."
"If you were not so young, even if you passed the exam, you would easily not be granted an official position due to your age. If you waited a few more years, the emperor would have forgotten about you, and you would have no connections, let alone the chance to enter the court. Your aunt would not have brought you back to the capital."
"I originally thought that the Rongguo Mansion still had some foundation, but now after hearing what you said, I know that the Rongguo Mansion is really unreliable."
"Since you can't rely on them, why don't you go study abroad? You're right. With a juren status, you won't be easily bullied when you're abroad."
"After three years, when the Rongguo Mansion incident is over, you will be almost 18 years old, and it won't affect you to take the imperial examination."
Every word Aunt Li said was to help Jia Lang analyze the benefits of her original plan. She was afraid that Jia Lang would stay in the Jia Mansion for her. Aunt Li was really afraid that Jia Lang would fall into the quagmire of the Rongguo Mansion and never be able to get out.
As for what Jia Lang said about the younger generations being fine, Aunt Li actually didn't believe it at all. In Aunt Li's opinion, when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. The Jia family has been ransacked, so how can these younger generations have a good ending?
Finally, under the persuasion of Aunt Li, Jia Lang finally agreed to the study tour plan. Then Jia Lang and Aunt Li and her son officially began to prepare for Jia Lang's study tour.
Aunt Li was afraid that she would not be able to escape when the time came, so she planned to take out all the money she had gotten from the Jia Mansion in advance and give it to Jia Lang to take away. Jia Lang was busy reviewing his lessons. Since he had decided to study abroad, he must pass the provincial examination in one go.
Wang Xifeng was not partial to anyone when she assisted in managing Ningguo Mansion, and punished even the most prominent figures. She not only kept Ningguo Mansion in a very strict order, and there were no mistakes during the funeral, but she also showed off her power and indulged in her addiction to power.
Unfortunately, joy turns to sorrow. On the night of Qin Keqing's funeral, Wang Xifeng was woken up by stomach pain while she was sleeping.
"My, my stomach, Ping'er, Lian'er, my stomach hurts so much!"
Wang Xifeng's scream woke up Jia Lian and others. His servant went to the residence of the court physician at night and hurried to find the court physician, but it was too late.
"Second Grandma has had a miscarriage. Alas, there is no hope for her."
The court doctor shook his head, quite regretful. Listening to the court doctor's words, Wang Xifeng felt her cold stomach and was completely dumbfounded. Jia Lian, who was standing by, was almost going crazy, and he refused to accept this fact.
"House doctor, didn't you say the fetus was stable after four months? How come it suddenly...?"
"Well, that's right. But Second Madam had a hard time getting pregnant with this baby, so she had to take good care of it. Who would have thought that Second Madam would be so tired all of a sudden, and now..."
