How did they come to the conclusion that they wouldn't make money?
If he really didn't want to make money, why would he suggest such a suggestion?
Jia Lian was worried that they would regret and blame him in the future, so he smiled and said,"Big Brother Zhen, brothers, it's not as difficult as you say. I'm confident that I'll be able to earn at least a few hundred thousand taels after completing the mission the emperor gave me. We're brothers after all. Why don't we work together and make a fortune?”
"Brother Lian, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we really can't!" Feng Ziying shook his head. Silver is secondary. You can say that you have fallen into the emperor's trap. If we add in, what will Duke Beijing and the other distinguished officials think of us? Wouldn't that destroy their prestige and increase their arrogance?”
"Ziying's right." Chen Yejun said. After all, the emperor is powerful now. We can't come out in the open and can only wait for the opportunity.”
What did he mean by not being able to do it openly?
Jia Lian was sweating profusely after hearing this. Would they still dare to cause trouble?
As the saying goes, if the monarch does not keep secrets, he will lose his courtiers, if the courtiers do not keep secrets, they will lose their lives, and if they do not keep secrets, they will be harmed.
This kind of beheading matter came out from the mouths of the fourth and fifth generations of officials. It could be seen that this was how their parents usually taught them.
Taking a step back, even if he really wanted to do this, he should pretend to be loyal and then take advantage of the moment when he wasn't paying attention to suddenly attack and finally settle the situation in one fell swoop.
Cough, cough, cough, he was thinking too much!
Just the few of them were shouting so loudly that they could be heard everywhere. They were afraid that the emperor did not know. They simply could not do anything but spoil things.
Jia Lian remembered that there were spies of the Emperor in Rong Mansion and became even more determined to break away from them. Even if they were all raided and executed, it would not be a pity. They asked for it.
As long as he did not implicate him.
Jia Lian raised his wine cup to hide his uneasiness, but suddenly found an outsider in the seat, Liu Xianglian.
He even wanted to kill him.
He quickly coughed." Old Third Chen, you drank too much!”As she spoke, she winked at him.
Chen Yejun was stunned for a moment before he laughed." Second Brother Lian, you're overthinking things. Liu Erlang has always been one of us. Otherwise, do you think I would be so careless?"”
Jia Lian took a deep look at Liu Xianglian, who seemed to be unaware, and smiled,"I see, I see!"
Jia Zhen quickly clapped her hands." Now that we're done talking, we can drink to our hearts 'content! Come on!"
A group of musicians filed in from outside the door, followed by a few young actresses in green.
Like before, Jia Lian carefully looked at their necks.
Fortunately, there was no Adam's apple.
Unexpectedly, Jia Rong saw it and teased,"Second Uncle Lian, they are the famous Celebration Class in the Divine Capital. The one in front waving her sleeves is Boss Zhao.”
Jia Lian was engrossed in the show. As he wasn't on a proper stage, Boss Zhao didn't have any oil paint on his face. He only saw his eyebrows sweep away the autumn frost and his eyes contain clear spring water. He was the most graceful and charming, and his voice lingered around the beam for three days.
Jia Zhen saw that Jia Lian was watching while beating the beat and smiled,"Brother Lian, it's a pity that Boss Zhao sells his skills and not his body. Otherwise, he could be your concubine.”
Everyone knew that Sister Feng was not an easy person to get along with and laughed heartily.
Jia Lian couldn't be bothered with them.
Even Jia Rong was shaking back and forth. Jia Lian immediately knocked on her with his chopsticks." What are you so happy about? It's not too late to laugh when you get married!”
"Second Brother Lian is right," Feng Ziying agreed. Seeing that Rong Geer had reached his age, it was time to get married. Otherwise, if he only used his strength on Wu Shengjiang, how could Brother Zhen hold a grandson?”
Jia Zhen twirled her beard and smiled." A while ago, his mother also visited a few families. Some talked about the Qin family, some talked about the Hu family, and there was also a family with the surname Xu. People like us can't attach power to them. We just need to look at the good people.”
The Qin family that Jia Lian listened to, wasn't it just Qin Keqing?
He had spent so much effort to get in touch with her previously. Could he just watch her become his niece-in-law?
"Big Brother Zhen, you can't underestimate Brother Rong's marriage. After all, he's the eldest grandson of the Ning family. Even if he can't find a prominent official in the Prince's mansion, he should at least be of equal status.”
As long as she didn't marry someone from the Qin family, she was free to do whatever she wanted!
"Brother Lian, you're wrong." Jia Zhen laughed. Although the name above our heads is big, it doesn't live up to its name. I only have the title of a third-grade mighty general. I don't want to see their faces. It's better to marry someone from a small family. According to Brother Rong, as long as she's beautiful, I'll accept her even if she's an actress.”
When Chen Yejun heard this, he jeered,""In that case, Big Brother Zhen, what do you think of Boss Zhao? Could there be a second one who looked like that?”
These words deeply won Jia Lian's heart.
"Extremely, extremely!"
In fact, what Jia Zhen was talking about was the awkward part. The title of founding nobility was quite big, but it was actually gradually fading. People like Jia Zhen did not even have the qualifications to stand in the court. On the one hand, it was because of the suppression of several generations of emperors, raising disabled people. On the other hand, there was no successor for the noble families. As a result, only two or three of the four princes still held important positions in the court. Most of them were like the Jia family and Wang Ziteng, who were close to each other and were bound together for good or bad.
That was why they were even more united, so that the emperor would not be able to attack them one by one.
This was the need for self-protection in reality, and also the embodiment of helplessness and decline.
Jia Zhen clearly saw her own strength, but she didn't realize that at times like this, she needed to find a reliable noble to be related to.
Just think about it, in another time and space, if Qin Keqing's father was an important official of the imperial court like Wang Ziteng, he wouldn't have done such a thing even if he had the guts.
Jia Lian felt that it was his responsibility to make Jia Zhen realize this.
"Big Brother Zhen, let me say something that I shouldn't say. Our family is no longer the same as before. The reason why we can still maintain our status is because of the relationship between our ancestors and relatives. Brother Rong didn't have a strong physical family. If he didn't even have a respectable in-law, once he made the decision, his circle would only be so small. What else would the Ningguo family have other than that brand? They couldn't even be compared to ordinary rich landlords. Big Brother Zhen, as a father, you can't let Brother Rong's temper go. He's young and naturally loves beautiful women, but you have to think about the long term. You can't let our ancestors 'foundation be destroyed in our hands.”
Jia Lian tried his best to persuade her, but he was afraid that he did not clearly tell Jia Zhen that it was fine to marry the Hu family, or the Xu family, but the Qin family was mine!
Jia Lian's reasoning was all for the good of the Ningguo Manor, without any personal gain. Even Feng Ziying and the others nodded repeatedly." Big Brother Zhen, Second Brother Lian is right. This is a major event for the Ningguo Manor. We can't let it go easily. We must find a suitable person, at least a daughter of the Jingzhao Manor."”
