Among the four major families in Jinling, two are in power, two are amassing wealth, and they have been married for generations, creating a situation where the Jia family has become the head of the four kings and eight princes.
But unfortunately, the unfilial piety of future generations ruined such a great situation.
Since the generation of Wang Ziteng, there have been no outstanding figures in the four major families. There are only four people including Wang Ziteng, Baoling Hou Shi Nai, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding and Jia Jing.
Among them, Jia Jing hid in a Taoist temple because of Prince Yi Zhong's affairs.
Baoling Marquis Shi Nai and Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding broke away from the four major families because of the dispute over their titles. From the Shi family, only Shi Xiangyun often visited Jia's house, so we know that the relationship between them was not very good.
There is only one left, Wang Ziteng, who can barely support the situation of several companies, but it can only be maintained like this.
In fact, after Lin Ruhai married Jia Min, she could be regarded as a member of the four major families.
If Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai could support each other, their status would not be so embarrassing.
In this way, they can wait until the next generation grows up, and the family's vitality can slowly recover.
Everything is ruined because there is no successor.
Of the four major families, only the Shi family can barely be considered completely degenerated. The other families not only have few descendants, but also have no talent.
King Zhongshun thought about it for a while, and then became troubled: "You have never seen Wang Ziteng, and you don't understand his temperament. He is really an old fox, and I can't even deal with him."
"Did Wang Ziteng not participate in the battle for the throne? But what happened in the end, the emperor had no choice but to give him the title of governor of nine provinces and send him out of the capital. In order to prevent the four princes and eight princes from alerting him, he was promoted
Check for all nine provinces."
"If the blueprint is really in his hands, the emperor can only bleed to get the blueprint."
This is true, this kind of thing is of great value, and no one except Wang Tingxuan, who doesn't care, would contribute it.
But it is not that easy to develop new shipbuilding blueprints. This is a big project, and it is unlikely to rely on craftsmen. The imperial court does not have such reserve talents, and there is no way to complete such a project in a short time.
There is not much time left before the defeat of Xihaizizi recorded in the book. What Wang Tingxuan lacks here is time.
"You don't have to trade with Wang Ziteng, you can trade with others."
King Zhongshun asked in surprise: "Who? Besides Wang Ziteng, who else has access to the shipbuilding blueprints?"
"Wang Ren."
King Zhongshun didn't look down on a playboy like Wang Ren. He didn't have any importance, so he asked doubtfully: "Who is he, who can have access to the secrets of the Wang family?"
"Wang Ren is the son of Wang Zisheng. Wang Zisheng is the brother of Wang Ziteng. If Wang Ziteng is not so dazzling, the right to speak of the Wang family should be in his hands."
There is no need for Wang Tingxuan to say the rest.
Wang Zisheng is the head of the Wang family of this generation. Logically speaking, things like shipbuilding blueprints should be in his hands.
Although I don’t know who has the shipbuilding blueprints, it’s always a good idea to give it a try. Besides, Wang Ziteng values power, and he has no sons, so he may not be interested in something like this that is inherited from the family.
Even if the thing is in his hands, as long as he bribes Wang Ren, there is no way to get it out.
King Zhongshun left in a hurry again, trying to find a way to deceive Wang Ren.
Wang Ziteng also received letters from his wife and Aunt Xue.
Wang Ziteng's wife was indeed someone who was paid to do things. She said a lot of good things to the Xue family in her heart, and also pointed out Mrs. Wang's sinister intentions.
Aunt Xue's letter was written by Xue Baochai carefully. She did not deliberately discredit Mrs. Wang, but it was full of the Xue family's grievances.
For Jia Yuanchun's sudden appointment as a virtuous concubine, Wang Ziteng had no preparation in advance. This niece had been in the palace for more than ten years, and there was no good news at all. Wang Ziteng had already given up.
Later, when he got the news, he was not surprised, but became more cautious. Only when he confirmed that this was the concubine made by the emperor for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, did Wang Ziteng feel relieved.
As for the Jia family's eagerness to build a provincial villa, he did nothing but ask his wife to send him one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If the niece is really favored, his benefits will naturally be indispensable. Even if she is not favored, it will only be a loss of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
As for the matter between the two sisters, although he loved his eldest sister Mrs. Wang the most, he also had no feelings for Aunt Xue.
The two sisters, as long as the matter did not come to his attention, he would pretend to know nothing. After all, the palms and backs of their hands were full of flesh, so they could be as partial as Jia Mu.
Now that the matter has come to him, he can't just ignore it.
In fact, the matter is not that complicated. Mrs. Wang originally wanted Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu. This matter was also revealed to the Xue family when they came to Beijing.
At that time, I was angry that Xue Pan was causing trouble everywhere, and since he was not in the capital, I let Aunt Xue live in Jia's house.
Who could have known that Jia Yuanchun suddenly sealed his concubine and made the original marriage an accident.
He also had some guesses that the Jia family wanted to give Jia Baoyu a new job. He did not want to get involved with Jia's mother and always pretended that he did not know.
But while the Jia family was hanging on to the Xue family and refused to agree to Xue Baochai's marriage, they were also lavishly collecting money from the Xue family to build a villa for relatives. This should not be taken lightly.
If others find out in the future, there will be less trouble in impeaching him. The emperor was already dissatisfied with him, and the reputation of the virtuous concubine was not enough to make the emperor put aside his prejudice.
Wang Ziteng made his decision and asked the servant who delivered the letter to the Xue family, "What do you think your wife thinks?"
The old servant said respectfully: "Madam has nothing else on her mind. Firstly, the Jia family has borrowed so much money, and she wants the Jia family to write an IOU. Secondly, madam has found a marriage for the uncle, and she also wants to sort it out.
My own house, I hope my uncle can come forward and let the Jia family return some money."
Wang Ziteng sighed. After all, he still forced the Jia family to accept the marriage. He couldn't understand why they were all staring at Jia Baoyu. That child was probably better than the average dude.
As for Jia Baoyu's great fortune, as a general who emerged from the sea of blood, Wang Ziteng simply didn't believe it.
With great fortune, how dare you not see your biological uncle?
To be honest, Wang Ziteng actually didn't have much impression of Jia Baoyu. He had only met Jia Baoyu a few times since he was a child.
"Okay, I'll write two letters and you can take them back."
One was for Aunt Xue, and the other was for Mrs. Wang. Wang Ziteng made peace with them, preventing the sisters from getting into trouble over this matter.
Mrs. Wang took Wang Ziteng's letter and had no idea for the moment. Although she had her empress as her backer, she did not dare to go against Wang Ziteng.
"Old lady, this is a letter from my brother. Please give me an idea."
After Jia Mu read the letter, she was speechless for a moment. The Xue family wanted to leave, so she was naturally happy. But what to do with the provincial villa, and what to do with the Xue family's money?
Now that the Xue family's money has stopped, the provincial villa has no choice but to stop work. Seeing that the Jia family has stopped work, the Construction Department came over and issued a stop work order.
It is easy to stop work, but it is difficult to resume work. Every inspection costs a lot of money, and the inspection will definitely find problems, and rectification is another expense.
At such an old age, this was the first time for Jia Mu to see such a formation. There had never been so many procedures for the Supreme Emperor's training camp before.
"I'm getting older and don't have that much energy. You can figure it out yourself."
Mother Jia did not give an accurate answer and threw the question to Mrs. Wang.
