Ningguo Mansion, Ning'an Hall.

Jia Zhen, the hereditary third-grade majestic general, sat high on a large red sandalwood armchair inlaid with blue and white jade, with a footrest under his feet. His impressive face was full of power and anger.

At the beginning of the founding of the Yan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao learned the lesson that the nobles of the past dynasties would be corrupted and turned into a coward, and innovated the method of inheriting the nobles of the Yan Dynasty.

The hereditary nobles who founded the country have descended from generation to generation.

There are those whose meritorious service is extremely high but cannot be replaced hereditary. Although the lintel does not fall, the title will still be transferred. Unless future generations strive for success and achieve great achievements, otherwise, after five generations, the traces of the ancestors will be exhausted and the family will eventually be changed.

For example, in the Jia family, although Jia Zhen only holds the title of a third-grade mighty general, she still lives in the palace of the Duke!

According to the previous dynasty, when titles were reduced or reduced, all other specifications should be reduced according to etiquette. Otherwise, it would be overstepping the bounds, which is a grave sin.

However, thanks to the divine grace of Emperor Taizu Gao and the great merits of the Spyker inheritance, he was able to keep his family status intact even though he was downgraded.

Even if you have only three grades, you can still maintain the lintel of the Duke of the country.

With such a family background, compared with the ordinary third grader, Jia Zhen is more than a hundred times more noble?

If he is diligent in royal affairs, good at being an official, and makes meritorious deeds, he can be promoted to a noble title.

Compared with other people who risk their lives to fight for the title, it is much easier.

However, although Emperor Taizu was a man of great talent and profound thinking, he originally wanted to prevent his descendants from going down the old path of the previous dynasty, blindly enjoying happiness and degenerating. He wanted to use this method to force the children of Wuxun to make progress, but the children who were born in a wealthy and honorable land could not do anything.

, still intoxicated and dreaming, many dead.

Although Jia Zhen is only a third-grade noble, she has a background in the Duke's palace. Her status is not inferior to that of ordinary princes. She is also in the prime of life and has at least several decades of wealth left.

And even if it is passed on to the next generation, there will still be decades of wealth, so how can he feel the slightest sense of crisis?

I still enjoy the blessings every day, and I am arrogant. If I feel dissatisfied even if I don't like it, I will beat, scold and punish me at will.

At this moment, Jia Zhen looked at her trembling son who was kneeling in the hall, and cursed angrily: "You useless bastard, you can't even do such a small thing, what use do you have? What a damn beast!"

Jia Rong was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly remembered what Jia Qiang had said before, and became even more confused.

He also discovered that in the past year since he got married, his father had become more and more displeased with him. Instead of looking at his son, he was clearly looking at his enemy.

But he cares more about his daughter-in-law Qin than his own daughter...

Although Jia Rong was shocked, angry and frightened, she did not dare to show it at all, because in this Ningguo Mansion, her father Jia Zhen was the only one who respected me!

Suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, Jia Rong closed his eyes and kowtowed, "Master, Brother Qiang is dead and refuses to come back. My son can't bring him back alone..." Seeing Jia Zhen's face getting even angrier, he was busy again.

Said: "But Brother Qiang said that he will never talk about the matter of the former son to the outside world. As long as we restrain the servants in the house, no one will know about it. My son told him that even if he wants to leave the house and clean up the matter,

He had to come back and kowtow to the master. Who would have thought that he was also the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo sect, and his great-great-grandfather was also the legitimate son of the Ningguo Gong. He had a substantial family fortune when the family was separated. He didn't have any of that family property either.

Don’t think about it anymore, just treat it as something he has been chewing on for the past ten years.”

Originally thinking that Jia Zhen would become more and more furious, Jia Rong, who had been closing his eyes and waiting to be bathed in the thunder, found that the silence above was terrifying. He quietly opened his eyes and looked up, and saw Jia Zhen sitting there with a pale face. His heart moved and he said cautiously.

: "Master, maybe... or my son will take a few younger children and go again, and we will be able to 'persuad' Brother Qiang to come back..."

But Jia Zhen snorted and said: "Since he is determined to leave the house, why should we force him to stay? It's useless to force him to stay. He can't survive outside and will come back to beg me!"

Jia Rong whispered: "Sir, Brother Qiang is wearing linen clothes now. When my son left, he was cooking porridge in a clay pot."

Jia Zhen was startled when he heard this. This situation obviously took him by surprise.

Speaking of which, he really wasn't someone who just pursued male sex, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until Jia Qiang was so old before he started thinking about it.

It's just that in today's world, most officials and nobles regard good masculinity as an elegant thing.

Not only him, but also the second master Jia Lianlian from the next door house, didn’t he also keep a few handsome young men in the study so that he could get angry at any time?

Feng Yatou from Xifu is so jealous that she doesn't let Jia Lian get involved with women at all. The people in the room around her have been cleared away, leaving only Ping'er, who can't be seen or touched all the year round.

But Wang Xifeng never paid attention to the boys in Jia Lian's study. Firstly, she couldn't have children, and secondly, she couldn't fight for favor and publicity, so Jia Lian kept a lot of rabbits around him.

It can be seen that nowadays there is no shame in masculinity, this is the world situation.

Therefore, Jia Zhen would occasionally stir up Long Yang.

But what he pursues more is women.

But I didn't expect that the night before, for some reason, the more I looked at Jia Qiang, the more I felt that her color was outstanding. I even felt that except for the stunning daughter-in-law, no one in the Duke's mansion could compare with Jia Qiang, so I took action.

The ordinary heart.

If he really succeeds once, maybe he will give up.

After all, his heart was filled with that taboo figure...

Who would have thought that now it would be impossible to ask for anything? How could Jia Zhen, who had been asking for and getting everything in the Ningguo Mansion for many years, be willing to do so?

He heard that the dandy boy he had raised for more than ten years actually cooked porridge by himself, which was really beyond his expectation.

However, Jia Zhen was able to securely hold the position of clan leader, and she was also a person with some skills. He thought for a while and said: "Go to the master who is the master of the clan school and tell him..."

Jia Rong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "Father, are you asking me to fire Brother Qiang?"

Jia Zhen spat and cursed: "Damn beast, what do you know? That brother Qiang is the same as you. He is used to admiring flowers and stubborn willows. He moved out of the house first, and then expelled him to study in the clan. The clan is not sure.

What slanderous words are there? How stupid! Besides, why don’t we take advantage of you, you bastards, by expelling the clan? That’s a beautiful thought!”

After scolding him, he added: "Go and tell me, just like I said, brother Qiang is not good at studying, which made me angry. Even if he loses his temper and moves out of the house, the discipline in school cannot be relaxed."

Not to mention, within one month, you must first memorize the "Four Books" to make sure you are familiar with it. If you are not familiar with it, you will have to be disciplined severely by your master."

Jia Rong was completely shocked when he heard this, and became even more horrified by his father's methods...

He thought that if such a method fell on him, he would definitely be worse off than dead.

Because for dandies like him and Jia Qiang, studying is almost like drinking poison.

After he got married, he finally escaped from the sea of ​​misery, but Jia Qiang is still in the clan school.

It would be a kind of relief for them to start ancestral studies, so Jia Zhen said that he thought well.

And it is necessary to memorize the "Four Books" clearly within a month...

This is going to drive people crazy!

Jia Rong has already thought of the terrifying scene of Jia Qiang banging her head against the wall...

As for breaking the jar and breaking it without learning?

This just confirms what Jia Zhen said about Jia Dairu. Jia Qiang was not good at learning, and even disobeyed the patriarch and rebelled against the family.

If it really comes to that point, then Jia Qiang's life and death will be completely decided by Jia Zhen's thoughts, and even the old lady of Xifu and the two masters will not be able to interfere.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong felt chills all over her body, worried about Jia Qiang's fate...

At this moment, he suddenly heard a roar from above: "Damn beast, you've hit a guest, why don't you go quickly!"

When Jia Rong heard the sound, she jumped up and ran out.

But as soon as he went out, he stopped hurriedly. Looking at the eyes of the person in front of him full of suspicion, he asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

I saw a stunning young woman wearing a colorful satin dress with hundreds of flowers and flying butterflies, and she was about to enter with two maids. When she saw Jia Rong running out from inside, she was also shocked.

The young woman was Jia Rong's wife Qin. She looked a little uncomfortable, but she still looked at Jia Rong with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "My wife just sent a message that the master wants to use some rock sugar lotus seed soup, and ordered me to warm it up."

Come."

Anger flashed across Jia Rong's face when he heard this, and his cold eyes were full of disgust and suspicion. He wanted to say a few words, but when he heard the approaching footsteps behind him, his face turned pale and he could only endure the humiliation in his heart.

He gave his wife a sharp look and left in a hurry.

Behind her, Qin's beautiful and weak eyes were filled with resentment and tears. Listening to the heavy footsteps approaching from behind, there was a faint hint of fear in her eyes...

…

Old house in the back street.

After spending a day and a half, Jia Qiang finally tidied up the dilapidated house.

The sun was setting in the west. Sitting on the half-decayed and broken stone bench under the old locust tree in the courtyard, Jia Qiang thought about the future road and how to go...

How can we gain the power to protect ourselves in the shortest possible time...

…
