Chapter 3: Deciding on the road ahead, the common man inquires about the past(1/2)
Early morning.
Jia Cong woke up with two big black circles under his eyes.
After Jia She left last night, he was full of thoughts, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep well all night.
Not just because the unscrupulous old man Jia Daishan took over this body.
Even for the concern that Jia She showed last night, he couldn't just watch Jia She fall into the fate of being sent to the army in the book.
Under the cover of the nest, are there any eggs?
Even so, let him, a bastard, change the fate of the Jia Mansion, a ship that was destined to sink!
We must not fall into the ending of "the vast white land is so clean"!
As for the other eleven beauties of Jinling except Jia Yingchun, he really didn't think much about them at the moment.
This body is just that of a seven or eight-year-old child. It is too early to think about what is there and what is not.
Mother Feng opened the door and was startled when she saw the two dark circles on Jia Cong's face.
"Brother, you didn't sleep well last night? But the wound on your head hurts?"
Jia Cong smiled: "Doctor Wang is quite capable. After taking the medicine, the wound didn't hurt much, but he was a little hungry."
Mother Feng woke up little Cui'er who was still sleeping soundly on her feet: "Come and wash up. Go and pass the food. I'll help my brother wash up."
Rinse your mouth with green salt and cleanse your face with warm water.
Mother Feng carefully avoided the bandage on Jia Cong's forehead.
Jia Cong suddenly remembered that Jia She casually mentioned something about the door last night, and asked softly: "Mother Feng, did something happen after I fell off a horse from school yesterday and was sent back?"
"Were you and Grandpa Xu, Xiao Cui'er, bullied?"
The matter was over. Feng’s mother originally didn’t want to talk about it anymore, but Jia Cong’s peach blossom eyes stared straight at her.
I can no longer hide it.
So he told everything about how Xu Neng went to invite the doctor in the heavy rain yesterday, but was stopped by the boy at the door and refused to let the doctor in. Even Xiao Cuier was scolded.
Jia Cong was furious in his heart, but pretended to be nonchalant on his face. He pulled Feng's mother and continued to ask: "Feng's mother, what about my biological mother? What kind of person is she?"
"Why has no one ever mentioned her in this house?"
Mother Feng smiled and talked while combing Jia Cong's hair, but there was sadness in her eyes.
"Miss, she is a very gentle and amiable woman..."
"As for why no one mentioned her, there are many reasons..."
Jia Cong’s mother was a distant relative of Jia She’s grandmother, Mrs. Xu, and her ancestors also came from a scholarly family.
But later, due to the death of both parents, the family fell into decline, leaving only Jia Cong's biological mother, Xu Bixi, and two siblings.
Mrs. Xu brought Xu Bixi and her brother into the Rongguo Mansion. She originally planned to raise Xu Bixi and have hairpins so that she could choose a good match and marry in glory.
Unexpectedly, Jia She fell in love with Xu Bixi, who was beautiful, kind, gentle, and more to his liking than the newly married principal wife, Mrs. Zhang.
Stalking to death to take Xu Bixi as my concubine.
Mrs. Xu couldn't resist her eldest grandson, whom she had doted on since childhood. After asking Xu Bixi's opinion personally, she took the decision to bring Xu Bixi into the palace and give her to Jia She as his concubine.
It is also commonly known as the second bedroom.
Although she is a noble concubine, she still has all the required rituals, except that the red wedding dress was changed to pink.
Xu Bijiang felt that his sister-in-law was a concubine and was a disgrace to the Xu family. He left Rongguo Mansion in a rage and has been missing since then.
Only Xu Bixi is left in Rongguo Mansion.
Since ancient times, there have been many private affairs in the house.
No matter how generous Jia She's wife, Zhang, is, she still has a problem with Xu Bixi, who is both talented and beautiful. Once a man and a woman come into the family tree, they will be included in the family tree.
Even if Mrs. Xu personally comes to protect Xu Bixi, cold and cold things like Bizitang are naturally unavoidable.
Later, Zhang's eldest son, Jia Hu, died at the age of less than three, and her second son, Jia Lian, died in childbirth, so no one gave Xu Bixi the Bizi Decoction.
But after all, it hurt my body.
"After the late wife passed away, I originally wanted to straighten the young lady..."
When Feng's mother said this, she sighed deeply.
When Zhang passed away, even though Jia Daishan was already on the bedside, he was still alive. How could he allow Jia She to take his concubine as his wife?
A concubine is a concubine, even if she is your second wife.
At that time, there were only two options before Jia She, either to take the concubine as his wife, which would be regarded as automatically giving up the title of Rongguofu.
Or just wait for the one-year period of filial piety for your wife to be over, and get married again.
Jia's mother secretly provoked Jia She to make trouble several times, but when Jia Daishan refused to comply, she had no choice but to stop.
Not long after, that shocking wave swept through the entire Shenjing. Mrs. Xu died of illness, and Jia Daishan also passed away due to the onset of an old injury.
Jia She's title was lowered several ranks in succession, and in the end he was only a first-class general, a false title that he didn't even have to go to court.
Although Jia Zheng was consulted by Emperor Tianxi because of Jia Daishan's deathbed legacy, he was only given the title of director of the Ministry of Works and allowed him to study in the ministry.
Jia's mother suddenly felt disappointed, and she was even more unhappy with Xu Bixi, who did not help her successfully seize the title of Jia She.
Taking advantage of the aftermath of that old incident, I personally forced Jia She to lie dormant in the East Courtyard, never to be able to stand out again.
When the three layers of filial piety expired, he was given the title of Xing.
Mr. Xing was born into a poor family, and his family fortune has long since declined.
Firstly, Jia She did not need to bring her own dowry for the second marriage, and secondly, the Xing family also took a fancy to the rich and powerful family in the palace and happily married into it.
Mrs. Xing is not as generous as Mrs. Zhang. After entering the door, she looked at Xu Bixi, the educated and sensible second wife, like a thorn in her flesh.
Overtly and secretly, we continue to learn from each other.
At this time, Mrs. Xu had passed away for a long time, Xu Bixi had lost her support, and was not favored by Jia Mu, so her situation in the Rongguo Mansion became increasingly difficult.
In the end, it was Jia She who stepped forward to suppress the Xing family's arrogance and barely protected Xu Bixi.
During the years when he was forced to lie dormant in the east courtyard, Jia She's ambitions were reduced to ashes. He was drunk and dreaming every day, and the beauties in the backyard entered the house one after another.
Even the Xing family gave Jia She two good-looking dowry maids to marry her.
As a result, Xu Bixi felt even more depressed, and it took several years before she finally became pregnant with Jia Cong.
After hearing the news, Mrs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Xu Bixi supported her life and gave birth to Jia Cong, but she also had some of the idleness of her concubines, and died of depression in less than a month due to postpartum disorders.
Jia She felt remorseful and angry, and kicked out all of Xing's confidants, including the two maids who were in charge of the house, and punished them for dozens of times.
Only two unhappy companions and the Xing family were left to show off.
Even on the first and fifteenth day of every month, they no longer stayed in the main house, and the couple fell out of harmony from then on.
It was precisely because of this incident that Ms. Xing finally understood that she could not compete with Jia She at all.
In the end, she became the Mrs.
From then on, Xu Bixi became a taboo in Dafang, and no one mentioned it again.
"That's it."
Jia Cong suddenly realized that no wonder the way Mr. Xing looked at him in his memory contained a vague sense of jealousy and resentment.
"So, it was the Xing family that caused my mother to die prematurely?"
Jia Cong asked further.
Mother Feng pursed her dry lips and saw that no one was in the room.
Fang stretched out two fingers and pointed in the direction of Rongxi Hall: "Maybe there is her...but I can't say..."
"That one always pretends to be a Bodhisattva..."
Jia Cong's eyes suddenly became dark.
The Xing family and the Wang family?
Very good.
He is not a child of seven or eight years old. As a real adult, he has the ability to compete with the Wang family and the Xing family.
There is still time, no rush.
He will collect those old debts one by one, not letting any of them go.
Jia Cong was about to ask Feng's mother what shocking events happened in the past that made Jia She unable to recover and feel depressed all day long.
I saw Xiao Cuier running into the inner room in a panic: "Third Master, it's not good! The old lady sent someone to tell you to go quickly!"
"Master, wife, second master, second wife, second master Lian, and uncle Dongfu Zhen are all waiting for you in Rongqing Hall!"
