The Spring Festival wedding is over...

Although it was not sensational, nor enthusiastic, nor was it a scene full of guests, it was still quite passable, at least for a concubine born in the Rong Mansion.

Jia Cong represented the family of the woman, followed by more than a dozen talented students. This formation was a bit intimidating. Even Feng Ziying and others who were guests and friends of the man did not dare to ignore him.

They really have no right to neglect him. Among Jia Cong's younger brothers are five or six high-ranking junior officials from the Ministry of Industry. Who knows if a big shot in the court might emerge in the future?

In other words, the training effect of building a provincial residence for his subordinates cannot be ignored.

The Provincial Courtyard was originally used to receive concubines and concubines, and its regulations were built according to certain regulations of the back hall of the imperial palace.

In order to prevent certain taboo buildings from appearing unnoticed, Jia Cong still invited several veterans from the Restoration Department as guidance through Qin Zhong's father, Qin Ye, and participated in the entire supervision and construction of the Provincial Courtyard.

With their guidance and the small stoves they spent a lot of money to build, all the young people who participated in the entire construction process of the Provincial Homestay, according to these senior officials from the Ministry of Works’ Camping and Maintenance Department, would be able to establish themselves in the Camping and Maintenance Department.

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are all transactional yamen and require a large number of professional talents.

In this era where liberal arts are the absolute mainstream, there are very few professionals who understand the planning of palace construction. Many officials from the Ministry of Industry, despite their high rank, have poor actual abilities.

It often takes many years of self-study to fully understand the many professional and technical requirements of the Ministry of Industry and to avoid accidents when handling specific engineering tasks.

Notwithstanding the frequent occurrence of major cases in water conservancy projects, in addition to the fact that the officials in charge of specific affairs are indeed greedy, there are also many cases where lower-level officials collude to bully the superiors for their poor professional standards, or even blame the superiors for taking the blame.

According to Qin Ye, this kind of thing is not a secret in the Ministry of Industry.

Otherwise, looking at the history books, why every time a great master in water conservancy appears, it deserves a special mention. Isn't it because there is a serious shortage of talents in this field?

After the construction of the provincial hospital was completed, Jia Cong simply used Qin Ye's relationship to send several of his younger brothers who performed particularly well to the Ministry of Industry's Maintenance and Repair Department through a special assessment model.

Qin Ye was quite generous. Not only did he accept them all, but he also gave them all ninth-grade official status. This was a good thing for both parties.

The same is true. At this time, among Jia Cong's subordinates, there were as many as five who had ranks in the Ministry of Works alone.

There are two more people who follow Lian Er and hang out in the Shuntian Mansion Office, and they can almost get the ninth rank official status. Liu Xianglian will also arrange for a few of them soon, and they can also get the official status with just a few small achievements.

Except for three or five younger brothers who are really too young to be involved in the officialdom, the rest of them all have arrangements and all have official status.

Naturally, these circumstances cannot be hidden from Feng Ziying and other distinguished disciples. Although Jia Cong's subordinates are of extremely low rank, they should not be underestimated.

After a lively wedding banquet, when Jia Cong left, in front of Liu Xianglian, he crushed a teacup into powder with one hand and solemnly said to Yingchun: "If Liu Xianglian does anything bad,

Even if you send someone to tell him, see if I don’t break all his bones!”

Yingchun was moved to tears, and Liu Xianglian was so shocked that her face turned green, and then he walked away.

Later, from the words of Siqi, the maid next to Yingchun, I learned that Yingchun was living a good life in the Liu family, and that her life was gentle and ordinary, which made her feel completely at ease.

As each of his subordinates made arrangements, Jia Cong's life became more and more leisurely, and the number of ethnic studies students who were willing to take the initiative to get closer gradually increased, and there was no shortage of manpower to run errands.

Not only the ethnic studies students, but also the tribesmen who knew about Jia Cong's actions, no one dared to look down upon him. Lian Er also invited Jia Cong to visit him from time to time to communicate with him.

It was during this process that he learned about the government's letter to Jinjin, hoping that Jinjin could allow Concubine Yuanchun to visit the family.

At present, the palace has sent personnel to check the specific situation of the provincial palace. As long as there are no problems in this inspection, it is estimated that the matter of Princess Yuanchun's provincial marriage will almost be resolved.

Sure enough, after spending almost tens of thousands of taels of silver to entertain the palace envoys who inspected the palace for marriage, and after receiving satisfactory results, he directly ordered that Concubine Yuanchun be allowed to leave the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit the palace.

After receiving the order, the entire Rong Mansion and the Jia clan in the capital were in an uproar.

However, in the private gathering, Lian Er didn't look happy when he talked about it. He just said that he had spent too much and was almost unable to support himself.

Obviously, after being trained in the officialdom, he has broadened his horizons a lot. He has a very clear and rational understanding of the impact of Yuanchun Palace Princess's marriage visit, and he is not as ecstatic as ordinary people.

Also, Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine for quite some time. In addition to being rewarded with some gadgets from the palace from time to time, it was really hard to tell whether the direct impact on the mansion was good or bad.

Every time the palace officials sent Yuanchun gifts to the younger brothers and sisters, as well as palace gadgets for the old lady and the second wife, the red envelopes given to the palace officials far exceeded their true value.

It's not a gift from the emperor today or from the emperor. At most, it will only be a joy for a while, and then it will be sent to the warehouse to eat ashes?

Of course, Yuanchun would probably have no choice but to tell the other concubines in the palace that she had strong external support.

But as a result, too much public money was spent, and Wang Xifeng didn't look very good recently.

I heard that both the old lady and the second lady didn't pay attention to the reality of the shortage of money in the palace. They still went their own way. When they wanted to use money, they just gave instructions lightly, as if Wang Xifeng could conjure money out of thin air.

According to what Lian Er said while drinking, if he hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped Wang Xifeng's stupid behavior of using dowry to supplement the father's family in time, I'm afraid this famous Feng Lazi would have followed the same path as the original work.

As a result, the shortage of money in the public sector was so serious that it even became difficult to issue monthly payments.

For this reason, Wang Xifeng has recently been called to reprimand by the old lady and the second wife.

This is absolutely unbearable for Wang Xifeng, who has always been strong and loves to seize power.

Unfortunately, Lian Er was not a vegetarian at this time. He directly told Wang Xifeng that if Wang Xifeng acted recklessly in his name, he would directly ask Wang Xifeng to return to the Wang family with the dowry. He could not afford to serve such a daughter-in-law.

Obviously, Wang Xifeng was frightened by such cruel words. If she was tricked to death just for the sake of face, it would be too unworthy.

I heard that in order to avoid being picked on by the old lady and the second wife, Wang Xifeng repeatedly wanted to hand over the management of the inner courtyard, but neither the old lady nor the second wife had the intention to take over. They even tried to comfort Wang Xifeng and let them take care of the house.

I highly recognize Wang Xifeng’s management abilities.

Now, no matter how stupid Wang Xifeng was, he knew what the old lady and the second wife were thinking. It turned out that they were treating her as a mallet.

In anger, she imitated the two bosses and started to drag her feet.

No matter what the two bosses want to do, the things they are told can be pushed back as long as they can. Whether they can be pushed back or not depends on how much money it costs. Anyway, the public has no money, so if you want her to do something, you have to use money.

After going back and forth, neither the old lady nor the second wife can stand it.

They couldn't reprimand Wang Xifeng for being perfunctory, so they had to summon the two gentlemen and their wives to discuss it in Rongqing Hall, and each contributed a part of the money to the official, so as not to appear so poor.

After this incident, Wang Xifeng lost her enthusiasm for the so-called housekeeper's power. No matter how extravagant the second wife's words were, it was already impossible for her to take the initiative to use money to supplement the work.

When talking about this, Lian Er lamented repeatedly that his mother-in-law Wang Xifeng was deceived by her aunt Mrs. Wang, and she didn't know how much money she had been defrauded in the past.

Didn’t they all use your name and make up for it?

Otherwise, Wang Xifeng would be so honest and obedient, wouldn’t he feel guilty?

Jia Cong knew it, but he didn't mean to say it out loud.

At this time, his energy cultivation has entered a stable stage, and his luck is also extremely strong. He plans to leave Beijing and travel around after the Yuanchun wedding ceremony.

He was almost fifteen years old and had a muscular build, almost 1.85 meters tall. Although he was not exactly muscular, he was not thin at all.

In fact, at this moment, he had already thought about leaving the world of Red Mansions and returning to the main world.

Thinking about how much luck can be absorbed, at least that's the case without much action.

It's not that he is a saint and doesn't have the courage to make waves, it's just that the timing is not right.

In the current generation of Daqing, the national power is at its peak. At such a time, whether it is rebellion or making a fuss, it is quite unreliable behavior.

Since Jia Cong can gather luck through golden fingers, Daqing may have the so-called dragon energy to protect national luck. He cannot predict the outcome of the conflict.

I have finally accumulated a lot of luck through writing books, and I don't want to waste it in the battle with the dragon's luck in the country.

If he holds the power of the Rong Mansion, he can even become the leader of the four major families in Jinling. There is also another way to gather luck, but it is a pity that Jia Cong cannot do this without using strong means.

In the original work, Ning Rong and Ning Rong were able to point out the phoenix eggs through the vigilant fantasy fairy. Who knows if they have other means in the underworld? Jia Cong has no intention of easily provoking the mysterious realm that he is not familiar with.

Where are the ancestors of the Wang family and the ancestors of the Shi family?

In this case, the Jia Clanology has been on the right track, and the luck it can provide has almost stabilized. There is no need to trap yourself in the capital. Instead, you can walk around more to gain experience, and maybe you can still do it after returning to the main world.
