385 People Are Selfish
Jia Lian and Jia Rong pulled Xue Pan helplessly and hurriedly to the door.
Shi Zhongkui first comforted the three of them, then left Xue Pan and asked Yu Shun to take Jia Lian and Jia Rong to the side hall.
Let Yingchun, Hu Hui and Baochai go talk to Jia Lian and Jia Rong.
Hearing that Shi Zhongkui was worried about the prince Yuanchun gave birth to was likely to be the trigger for the Shi family and the Jia family to become enemies.
Jia Lian, Jia Rong didn't believe it at first.
But I heard Yingchun say that once the prince born in Yuanchun becomes the emperor, won't he and his heirs be afraid of the Shi family?
If you are worried that the children of the Shi family may have inappropriate thoughts, you may be sure that the two families will fight overtly and secretly.
Once conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, and are even exploited by others to secretly instigate and create conflicts, leading to bloodshed, there will inevitably be a sword fight in the end.
Jia Lian and Jia Rong thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that it was not impossible.
Moreover, the uncle and nephew are not Yuanchun, a mother-in-law who would risk everything for a nephew. Naturally, what they care about is the interests of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.
Anyway, the Jia family is already extremely wealthy at this time. With the Spring Festival and Daiyu's presence, whether the child will be a prince or an emperor has no impact on the Jia family at all.
Even now it seems that it will be more troublesome if the child becomes the emperor.
Jia Lian immediately stopped talking.
Yuanchun was the second eldest daughter, and Jia Lian was the eldest daughter. To a certain extent, Shi Zhongkui's decision was more beneficial to him.
It can even be said that the prince who prefers the queen and the queen's son is more likely to ensure the prosperity of the big house.
Otherwise, if Yuanchun's child becomes emperor, he will definitely care more about Erfang and Jia Baoyu.
Maybe in a few decades, Rongguo Mansion will become a second-bedroom apartment again.
Seeing that Jia Lian was silent, Jia Rong sighed secretly, whoever heads the Rongguo Mansion has no influence on him and the Ningguo Mansion.
But if Shi Zhongkui had any objections to him, Jia Rong shuddered just thinking about it, not to mention that her ability to inherit the Ningguo Mansion depended entirely on Shi Zhongkui's support.
Thinking of this, Jia Rong and Jia Lian looked at each other and made their choice quickly.
Facing Yingchun, Daiyu and Baochai nodded and left the side hall. Xue Pan felt relieved when he saw that the expressions of fear on their faces no longer looked like before.
Moreover, this guy still had some conscience and asked Shi Zhongkui with a hesitant expression, "How should I persuade the eldest sister in the palace?"
Shi Zhongkui glanced at Jia Lian and Jia Rong, and saw that they did not dare to look directly at him, then he smiled and said, "It is destiny to have order in order of superiority and inferiority. Is it possible that you are willing to see your bastards secretly doing things in order to fight for the rights in the family?"
The wind and the rain, or even killing each other?"
Xue Pan shook his head in fear.
Moreover, Baochai is the eldest wife of the Shi family. Now supporting Shi Zhongkui's orthodox theory is equivalent to supporting his own sister and nephew. Xue Pan is not that stupid.
With Shi Zhongkui's operation, it can be said that the child in Yuanchun's belly is destined to be an existence that his uncle will not love and the emperor's own father will not love before he is born.
After Xue Pan returned home, he told Aunt Xue what Shi Zhongkui said. Naturally, Aunt Xue, like Xue Pan, preferred Baochai and her children to continue to be the heads of the Shi family.
After Jia Lian and Jia Rong returned home, they told Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, who had been called back temporarily, behind closed doors.
The expressions on these people's faces are truly wonderful.
No matter how stupid Jia She and Jia Zhen are, they can still figure out how to choose something that is beneficial to them.
Their biological sons, one is the head of the Rongguo Mansion and the other is the head of the Ningguo Mansion. As long as they can maintain the prosperity of the two mansions, they don't care what the future of Yuanchun's children will be like.
If it becomes a stumbling block, getting rid of the child is not a difficult decision.
And as long as Shi Zhongkui lives, no one can change this.
Jia Zheng was so angry that he almost carried it away, but Jia She said, "Confucius and Mencius also paid attention to the order of hierarchy", which immediately made him blush, but he couldn't say a word of objection.
The son born to the queen is the legitimate son, and no one can object to becoming the prince until he has done anything disobedient.
Otherwise, as long as any gossip spreads, Jia Zheng will not be able to gain a foothold in the noble and official circles.
Looking at the expressions of Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, Jia Mu knew that these two father and son groups had given up Yuanchun for their own glory and wealth.
There was even support from Shi Zhongkui, Jia She, and Jia Lian, in order to suppress the second wife, they were eager for Yuanchun to fall out of favor.
Even if Mother Jia still favors her younger son, she can only sigh and say, "I can go to the palace now and try to persuade my poor eldest granddaughter."
When Jia She heard Jia Mu's compromise, he felt as happy as if he had drank ice water in the dog days of summer.
Even the hatred he felt when he was forced to give up his title has mostly dissipated.
He smiled and said, "It's good if the old lady can understand the formality. Since my family is already extremely wealthy, we really shouldn't have other thoughts. Otherwise, it will be too much and not enough, which is a recipe for disaster."
Jia Zhen, who was wearing Taoist robes, nodded in agreement. Looking at Jia Zheng, whose hands were shaking with anger, she kindly tried to persuade her, "Master Zheng, if I were you, I might as well use this matter to seek wealth from the emperor and Bo Qian for Baoyu.
"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu's eyes lit up, and Jia Zheng calmed down his excitement, and slowly calmed down and began to think.
When Jia Zhen saw Jia's mother, Jia Zheng thought deeply and continued with a smile, "And don't forget about the Xia family."
Now Jia Mu and Jia Zheng had more on their minds.
Jia Baoyu may not necessarily be rich for the rest of his life just by getting a title, but if he takes the opportunity to marry Xia Jingui, then the Xia family's millions of wealth will belong to Bao Bao and his children.
Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian and said, "Lian'er, if Baoyu gets a title, are you willing to let him divide the family?"
Jia Lian didn't think much about it at first, wishing that Jia Baoyu and his family would just get out.
But seeing Jia Zhen wink at him, and thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood that after Jia Baoyu separated the family, he would have to bear all the shortfalls of the Rongguo Mansion alone.
The partiality towards Jia Mu in my heart is called disgust and dissatisfaction.
But think about it again, even if the family is not separated, is it possible that the second wife is still willing to help him bear the shortfall?
Even if the families are not separated, not only will the expenses for the second house have to be paid for by the Rongguo Mansion, but Mrs. Wang will definitely always secretly embezzle the Rongguo Mansion's income.
It can be said that the sooner the family is separated, the better.
Jia Lian stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, old lady. After Baoyu and his second uncle separate, not only will the child not object, but he will also give Baoyu a place to live in Zhuangzi outside the city and in the north."
Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were both stunned, as if they were meeting Jia Lian for the first time.
Then I heard Jia Lian say, "It's just that since the child has given away the only two houses in Rongguo Mansion's hands, the Rongguo Mansion's house and Grand View Garden will have nothing to do with the second house from now on, so as to avoid making jokes among the brothers."
"Okay," Jia She, whose beard trembled without waiting for Mother Jia's anger, objected, and immediately made arrangements, "I'll do as you say."
Jia She suddenly stood up, but was held back by Jia Lian.
