Chapter 2 A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff
"Dad, why did you come so early!"
In the ancestral hall, Jia Jing shouted for a long time before Jia Zhen rushed over, not caring about Jia Rong, but just said casually to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing was already angry by Jia Rong's words. Seeing him like this, he smelled a fragrance of powder and floated over. He couldn't help but feel angry and scolded:
"You rebellious son, let me wait for you in the ancestral hall, and I will be lewd for filial piety."
"How can you be worthy of your mother when you do this!"
As he said that, he didn't listen to Jia Zhen's explanation and ordered someone to bring a board, press him on the stool, and began to teach him a lesson.
The Jia family started his military achievements, and their ancestors were all military generals for generations. They have always believed in "a filial son under the stick, and a good man under the yellow jing till." Jia Jing was upset. He didn't care about his son under the board, but he was like a thief. While beating hard, he asked what Jia Zhen had done these days.
Jia Zhen had been talking about these days, and only thought that he wanted to take over the Ningguo Mansion, so he could not help but acted a little freely. Just now, he thought that Jia Jing asked him to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter of passing the throne, but he did not expect that he would be beaten. He could not bear the hardship, so he had to write down what he did these days, including some things that exceeded the courtesy, which made Jia Jing even more add fuel to the fire, and the board fell down fiercely and quickly.
Not long after, Jia Zhen was not allowed to move without the servant helping him, and then he was unable to move on the bench, his face was white and his body was covered with blood stains.
Seeing this, Jia Jing slightly relieved his anger, and asked someone to lift Jia Zhen down and ordered You to take good care of him. As for the matter of passing the title and the position of patriarch to Jia Zhen, which was originally to be discussed, he naturally gave up.
"Hmph! If you don't go to take care of you, why are you still doing in the ancestral hall?"
"But at such a young age, he is so sneaky. Why don't you get out of here quickly!"
After teaching Jia Zhen a lesson, Jia Jing looked at Jia Rong and scolded him.
After being an official for so many years, Jia Jing was not a fool. Although he was impatient because of his determination to become an immortal, he became angry at Jia Zhen. However, after the anger, he quickly came to his senses and knew that what he did today was sought by Jia Rong.
Thinking that Jia Zhen had to rest for two or three months after being beaten this time, and that he would have to delay in the world during this period, he suddenly became angry and didn't like Jia Rong, and couldn't help but scold him loudly.
He curled his lips secretly, but Jia Rong was not upset. He knew that his provocation was very simple, and it was not surprising that Jia Jing could wake up. Instead, Jia Jing beat Jia Zhen up in anger, which was really a surprise for him:
"I thought I would argue with Jia Zhen today, but I didn't expect that I would gain this. After two or three months, I think I should be able to impress my grandfather!"
In this feudal society with strict etiquette and law, if Jia Rong wants to fight against her biological father Jia Zhen, she can only rely on her grandfather Jia Jing’s support. Therefore, his top priority is to show his strength during this period so that Jia Jing can clearly feel-
I am more suitable to defend my family business than Jia Zhen, and can also provide support for his ascension to the immortals!
Thinking of this, Jia Rong chuckled, stepped back and said, "Grandpa, can you beat Daddy so that he can change his past and never ruin his family business again?"
"If you believe this, my grandson will pack up now and go to Xuanzhen Temple to practice Taoism in the future."
"I think that only by becoming a monk can one avoid disasters and not be sold to slaves in the future!"
"Nothing!" Hearing Jia Rong's words, Jia Jing angrily rebuked and said, "You are the eldest grandson of Ningguo Mansion. You have become a monk at a young age. What do you think of when you spread it?"
"Do you want me to face my ancestors without any face in a hundred years?"
"Hmph!" With a light snorting, Jia Rong said, "Grandpa is a person who will inevitably become an immortal. In a hundred years, maybe all ancestors will respect you, so how can you be faced with your ancestors?"
"Anyway, today's words have been said unreliable, either I will inherit my family business, or I will follow you to practice Taoism-"
"No matter what, I will not watch the family business in the mansion be ruined, but I am deeply trapped in the mud!"
"You... are evil..." Jia Jing was so angry that he stamped his feet when he heard Jia Rong's straightforward words. Although he had just guessed that Jia Rong was ill-behaved, he never expected that Jia Rong would have the idea of directly inheriting the family business. Where did this happen?
"At a young age, I was thinking about competing for the throne with my own father. Which slave instigated me? I'm leaving now!"
Holding the board that had just taught Jia Zhen a lesson, Jia Jing shouted loudly. As he raised his arm and was about to hit Jia Rong.
Having seen Jia Zhen being beaten, Jia Rong was not willing to make a decision on himself. He is only eleven or twelve years old this year, and his body has not yet grown. If he is beaten like Jia Zhen, and then he has some "accident" during treatment, not to mention his health is in danger, he may also leave sequelae. Therefore, he quickly stepped forward a few steps away from Jia Jing's board, knelt in front of his ancestors' spirit, and said coldly:
"Grandpa doesn't have to hit me. If you think what I say is unpleasant, just start the rebellion."
"Anyway, I don't want to float on this rotten boat after you become a monk!"
"You!" Hearing Jia Rong's words became more and more unpleasant. Jia Jing was so angry that he almost fainted. He finally recovered and was about to go forward to chase him, but he heard Jia Rong say:
"Isn't my grandfather becoming a monk to practice Taoism just to escape from this rotten ship as soon as possible?"
"You left cleanly, but you left a poor captain. Does anyone dare to sit on such a bad boat?"
"If you don't want to capsize with him, your grandson can only leave with you!"
Knowing that he had a rare opportunity to talk to Jia Jing, Jia Rong took advantage of his opportunity to care about these common things and did not stop for a moment, and quickly said his thoughtful words these days. If the sudden attack today cannot succeed, what he wants to do in the future will be extremely difficult!
"Nothing! It's like playing the piano randomly!"
I don’t know if it was so angry by Jia Rong, but Jia Jing held up the board but did not fall down. Instead, he pointed at Jia Rong and said angrily:
"Grandpa, I became a monk and practice Taoism to become an immortal as soon as possible. How did I escape from this bad ship?"
"Besides, how come the foundation left by our ancestors has become a bad ship in your eyes?"
"If I talk nonsense again, let's see if I won't deal with you!"
"Hmph!" Jia Rong sneered, "Grandpa, do you know, how do the servants in the mansion evaluate us?"
"The servants in the mansion commented?" Jia Jing was stunned for a moment. Jia Rong didn't understand what Jia Rong said. His wife had always been in charge of the affairs in the mansion. After his wife passed away these days, Jia Jing was busy with funerals and then became addicted to cultivating immortals. How could he have the time to care about the servants' comments?
Therefore, when he heard Jia Rong's words, he was a little confused, and he didn't know what he was going to say.
"'The centipede insect dies without being stiff', this is what the in-laws of the servants of the Xifu family evaluates us." He said coldly that "Leng Zixing speaks on Rongguo Mansion" in the original book, Jia Rong said:
"Even the slaves outside know that the inner pockets of Ning Rong's second mansions are already empty, but they just hold on to the airs outside. What's wrong with the grandson, the eldest grandson, knowing?"
