After explaining all the matters clearly to Jia She, Feng Ziying discovered that Jia She was not as bad as she had expected. Perhaps his character was indeed bad, but as a man who was treated poorly by his mother but could not bear to say anything.
, and can also think of various side ways for the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion to make money. It is not that simple to sit firmly in the Rongguo Mansion with thousands of people.
Everyone knows that because of the ancestor's favoritism, the second wife was favored more, whether it was Jia Zheng or Baoyu, and even the family was always managed by Mrs. Wang until it was later handed over to Jia Lian's wife.
Wang Xifeng, that's because Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece, but no one can deny that Jia She is the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion and a first-class general.
A hundred years after our ancestors, it’s hard to say who will have the final say in the Jia family. Moreover, this title will definitely follow Jia Lian’s lineage. No matter how favored Jia Zheng and Baoyu are, they will eventually get a branch family with more points.
The child's property is considered a good ending.
If the families are not separated, Jia Zheng and Baoyu will have to live in the shadow of Jia She and Jia Lian all their lives, unless Jia Zheng's fifth-grade idle official can really do something famous, but obviously, if Jia Zheng can
If you have that kind of ability, you won't have to work in the Ministry of Industry for decades.
Her impression of Jia She has improved, but it can only be seen as a collaborator. Since she is a collaborator, Feng Ziying also has to make some requirements for the other party, including that the rhythm must be according to her own arrangements.
Although he didn't know what the rhythm Feng Ziying mentioned meant, Jia She also vaguely estimated that it might be related to government affairs, but this was not his concern. He only needed to do a good job in accordance with Feng Ziying's requirements.
"My dear nephew, how about we have a drink at Yu Bo's place at noon?" Jia She was in an unusually good mood, having negotiated such a big deal, although there will definitely be a lot of work to do next, and he will definitely be very busy in the following period.
, but Jia She was satisfied.
It doesn't matter whether you are busy or hard, the key is to have money income. Even Jia She could faintly feel that the vague contempt and disdain of the martial artists who came into contact with him in the past had disappeared, replaced by
A kind of recognition and respect, this sense of respect that Jia She had never received in the Rongguo Mansion was far better than the awe that people in the mansion had for him.
Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment.
Eating wine alone with Jia She will definitely attract the attention of many people in the Rongguo Mansion. However, no matter how secretive Jia She is, sooner or later it will gradually become known to the public. Hundreds of generals and assistants will involve at least
There are hundreds of families, and there are different opinions. How can the secret be kept?
It's just a matter of using various information asymmetries to scare the other party first, making them look forward to the early return of their family members, and letting them keep the secret for the time being. But people are so talkative, and in Feng Ziying's opinion, it's impossible to keep a secret for one or twenty days.
It's so valuable, maybe it will spread throughout the world in a few days.
With Jia She's temperament, he naturally doesn't care about anyone's opinions. What's more, there is nothing unscrupulous about this kind of thing, and he can gain a lot of favors from various martial arts heroes. Why not do it?
If Jia Zheng and his wife knew about this, Feng Ziying couldn't judge their mentality yet, but Jia Zheng was about to go to Jiangxi to serve as an academic administrator, so he probably wouldn't have any opinions. At most, he would be surprised at why he suddenly treated Jia She.
It's just a little surprising at first glance.
As for the other people in the house, Feng Ziying naturally doesn't care. Even Jia's mother can't say that there is anything wrong with supporting her eldest son, right? You can't say that your second brother has gone to Jiangxi to study politics. The eldest brother can earn some money legitimately.
Is the silver also wrong?
“That’s okay, then I’ll bother Shibo.” Feng Ziying thought for a while and agreed.
"Okay, Shanbao, let the back room cook some special dishes immediately, and Brother Keng and I will have a good drink." Jia She was overjoyed.
This business is of course more than that. Although these thirty or forty people basically include their own connections, it does not mean that they cannot expand wider channels.
People entrust others, people introduce people, even those families who have paid a ransom of 5,000 yuan, maybe they can make a few thousand taels, and it all depends on the brother Keng in front of them. Thinking of this, Jia
Forgiveness will greatly increase your motivation.
"He left a meal?!" Wang Xifeng couldn't believe her ears. Jia She actually left a meal? This was the first of its kind. Even Sun Shaozu came to the house so many times, but he didn't seem to have left a meal, right?
And Brother Keng actually agreed.
This is also not in line with Brother Keng's perception of Jia She. Wang Xifeng is very aware of Brother Keng's disdain for Jia She. Now he can stay to eat and drink, and even add dishes to the kitchen. This is so shocking.
“Yes, Wang Shanbao went to the kitchen to say hello in person and asked Sister-in-law Liu to prepare quickly.” Hongyu was also surprised. It was estimated that the news would spread like wildfire in the house immediately and spread throughout the house in an instant.
“Is it because Brother Cong wants to become Master Feng’s disciple like Brother Lang?” Ping’er asked hesitantly.
"Impossible. How can I talk to Brother Keng all morning about Brother Cong? Do you need Wang Shanbao to guard the door?" Wang Xifeng shook her head decisively, "It must be a big business, and we can only rely on Brother Keng.
Only by doing this can we make a successful living, otherwise how would the master be so warm and welcoming?"
"What should we do?" Ping'er also ran out of ideas, "Uncle Feng is leaving to return to Yongping Mansion tomorrow, so we can't..."
Seeing Ping'er blushing, Wang Xifeng also thought about the situation that day, and felt numb all over. She quickly shook her head and put away those situations in her mind, "Don't worry, since you have to eat in the house, this won't happen for a while.
Then leave, and let Xiaohong keep an eye on her. As long as there is any sign of leaving, you can wait outside the Yimen and pretend to meet her..."
“But what if the eldest master sends it out?” Ping’er asked again.
Wang Xifeng was also stunned, "You can't, right? Didn't you ask Wang Shanbao to wait at the door before?"
Ping'er shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. We've already left food for everyone. How has the lord ever left food for anyone?"
Wang Xifeng thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, you and Xiaohong go and keep an eye on him first. If you really can't go out, just wait outside the corner door. I don't believe he can disappear without seeing anyone when he goes out."
“But grandma, once Uncle Feng goes out, I’m afraid he won’t be able to enter the house again,” Ping’er reminded.
“He can’t enter the house, I can only leave the house.” Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth, unwilling to understand what kind of medicine Jia She and Feng Ziying were selling in the gourd.
Facing the stern-faced Wang family, Jia Zheng was also speechless.
Seeing that the Mongols had begun to retreat, Jia Zheng had already begun to think about preparing to go south. Naturally, the Wang family would not follow, so only Aunt Zhao would follow, which was what Jia Zheng expected.
He and Mr. Wang have long been in a state of never getting tired of seeing each other, and never getting tired of each other means that they are only never tired of each other, and will not reach the state of being tired of each other. In other words, it is a state of indifference, that is,
Because there is Yuanchun in the palace and Baoyu in the palace, the other two have to maintain the appearance of husband and wife.
"Madam, who can Brother Keng want to see? Who can interfere with this? My eldest brother is inviting Brother Keng to a banquet. It's normal that he didn't invite me. I will be going south soon. I am also very busy during this period. Besides,
Yes, didn’t my eldest brother and I have a drink with Brother Keng some time ago?”
Jia Zheng couldn't understand Wang's mentality. Brother Sukeng didn't usually come to his place. Sometimes he went directly into the garden. Everyone knew that he just went to see Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou. They tacitly understood how Wang was doing.
, why is Mrs. Wang so unhappy this time when eldest brother keeps brother Keng’s meal?
"Sir, we all know what uncle is like. Have you ever seen him staying with foreign guests?" Wang's face was calm, but her tone was unkind, "Although I don't know what uncle and Brother Keng said a few days ago.
"Yes, but my uncle has never been very fond of Brother Keng, so why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic? If there is nothing weird in it, I won't believe it."
Jia Zheng was startled for a moment and then realized that what Wang said was reasonable. The whole family knew his brother's character, so why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic about Brother Keng?
“Could it be that the eldest brother wants to let the second girl...” Jia Zheng asked tentatively.
Mrs. Wang nodded and shook her head, "Maybe there is something to do with it, but uncle shouldn't be so warm. There must be something more tempting to him. I'm worried that uncle won't want the reputation of our Rongguo Mansion.
Go do something, if something goes wrong, it won’t be your uncle’s fault alone.”
His words were hidden, but he wanted Jia Zheng to find out what was going on between Jia She and Feng Ziying.
In the past, Mrs. Wang would not have been so interested in asking about these things. Even if Jia She and Feng Ziying had something to do, she would not bother to ask about it. As long as it did not affect her own life in the house, they would be left alone. But now, the situation
Something is different.
Wang Xifeng came to her a few days ago and mentioned that Jia Lian took a concubine and gave birth to a son in Yangzhou. He said that maybe in a year and a half, Jia Lian would come back with his concubine and give birth to a son, and he might even get a wife in Yangzhou, so she asked.
I can't stay in the house anymore.
This makes Wang a little sad.
Sister Feng has been in the house for several years, especially the years when she managed the affairs of the house. She has worked hard and accomplished a lot, but now she has ended up like this, which is really heartbreaking.
But this is all secondary. Sister Feng told her that the situation in the house is going from bad to worse. From the search of the money obtained by the Lai family to the current situation, it can be maintained until the middle of next year at most, which means there is still more than half a year.
The family is about to enter a state of constant resistance and sales. The question is, how long can these low-priced properties in Rongguo Mansion be able to sustain themselves?
Sister Feng’s intention to leave may not be without this reason, but who else can solve the problem of this clever woman struggling to make a living without rice?
