After Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, there was no news immediately.
I heard that Mrs. Wang over there in Xifu shed tears of sadness over this.
Their plan failed. After hearing that Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, he did not go to the palace of Princess Zhengui for duty at all, but went directly to the Queen's Kunning Palace to work as a female historian.
This is very different from the original plan.
Under the Queen's nose, Jia Yuanchun could not move at all.
Apart from anything else, it was difficult to even meet the emperor.
For some reason, no one mentioned Jia Yuanchun's entry into the palace.
Over at Xifu, all the masters were living extremely luxurious lives, as if there was no such person as Jia Yuanchun.
The indifference and ruthlessness of the big family are clearly demonstrated!
Xifu himself doesn't care, so Ningfu will naturally not be too troublesome.
Jia Rong quickly returned to her normal schedule, walking back and forth between the mansion and the clan school.
This is also a way to stay away from the inner courtyard of Ning Mansion, which is undergoing an internal transfer of power.
That's right, as the body and bones of my grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, gradually recovered, control of the inner courtyard naturally returned to her hands.
Half of Jia Zhen's concubines and maids were sent away directly.
This guy doesn't dare to let go of one more thing. He spends all day out drinking and having sex, and he won't come back home before the curfew.
Youshi naturally lived a cautious and cautious life, but fortunately her grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, who had regained control of the backyard, did not make things difficult for her.
He was given a lot of dignity and was even given a lot of authority in the inner court, so he was treated like a tool and kept busy.
When Jia Rong saw that the situation was not good, she naturally hid as far as she could.
Judging from the posture of my grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, it was obvious that she wanted to wait for the inner courtyard to be reorganized before handling the external affairs of the Ning Mansion.
In the past few years, Jia Zhen has been in charge of foreign affairs. From the deteriorating reputation of Ning Mansion, she knows how chaotic it is.
Coupled with the fact that General Manager Lai and others are sucking blood, the situation of the Ning Mansion's foreign affairs can be described as a mess, and it will not be easy to rectify it.
This has nothing to do with Jia Rong, so he naturally doesn't want to get involved.
Except for saying hello twice in the morning and evening, I basically spent the rest of the time staying in Zuxue, with no intention of showing up at all.
Grandmother Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, attaches great importance to the education of her children. Even if she knew that Jia Rong intended to avoid it, she would not really drag him home from the clan to take care of the housework.
In the clan school, Jia Rong is the well-deserved boss.
As long as he doesn't go too far, no one is willing to have trouble with him.
After all, the ethos of ethnic studies has improved greatly, and those with eyes can see it.
As for Jia Rongwo's family studies, no one wants to pay attention to them.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected guy took the initiative to come to the clan school to find someone that day.
"Uncle Lian, why are you here? You are such a rare visitor!"
When she saw Lian Er who suddenly came to visit her, Jia Rong did not hide her surprise at all. She asked him to sit down while teasing him with a smile.
A rare visitor indeed!
The age gap between him and Lian Er is as big as six years.
It can be said that it exists entirely on two lines.
Lian Er has his own circle of friends, which basically have little to do with ethnology.
The most important thing is that this guy is quite capable of dancing with ideas, and he has been working as an errand boy for Mr. Zheng for a long time.
Not to mention that I am so busy that I am rarely at home every day.
Of course, the things he was busy with seemed to Jia Rong to be trivial chores that still required people to run errands.
To put it bluntly, Lian Er has no involvement in the real core affairs of the Rong Mansion.
However, Lian Er is not aware of this and brags to his friends all day about how important he is, but in fact he is not much different from a housekeeper.
Because of the big age gap, Jia Rong and Lian Er naturally can't play together.
Lian Er was now at the age where he would hang out in the fireworks alley, but Jia Rong didn't have much interest in it at all.
He never thought that he would have too many interactions with Lian Er.
At most, if the guy from Rong Mansion provokes him, he can provoke Lian Er.
After all, this guy is the true heir to the Rong Mansion.
But right now, no matter how you look at this guy's behavior, he doesn't look like a normal heir to a noble family.
Fortunately, everyone who knows the inside story of Rong Mansion also knows it well.
It was obvious that Mr. Zheng Er, who was in charge of the family at this time, did not cultivate Lian Er as his heir at all.
Don't say that Mr. Zheng Er doesn't understand anything!
Just because the Rongfu wanted Jia Zhu to marry the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the imperial concubine, it proved that this man was not as upright as he appeared.
If Jia Zhu had not died early in the original novel Red Mansions, marrying Li Shouzhong would definitely have saved Jia Zhu at least five or six years of struggle.
That is to say, Mrs. Wang has short-sightedness and values only yellow and white things and real power. She thinks that Li Shouzhong is just a small fourth-grade official and is not worthy of the high lintel of Rong Mansion.
That is to say, neither the Rong family nor the Wang family have children who have taken the imperial examination to become officials. Otherwise, it would be more difficult to pass the exam due to Mrs. Wang's temperament.
Although the grade of Imperial College's sacrificial wine is not high, its status and influence in the literary world are no joke.
In short, Lian Er suddenly came to the door, leaving Jia Rong a little confused.
"I heard that your boy got some money while studying in the clan school?"
Lian Er came straight to the point. He didn't even drink the tea and looked at Jia Rong with bright eyes.
"It's just about exploiting those boys from the Clan School and making some hard money!"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Second Uncle Lian, those guys from the clan school probably scolded me a lot in private!"
Having said this, he looked at Lian Er and chuckled: "Uncle Lian Er wants to fight for even such a small amount of money, right?"
"You kid, why are you scolding me in a different way?"
Lian Er rolled his eyes, he naturally looked down upon his income of dozens of taels of silver a month.
Even though it was dozens of taels of silver, it was not a small amount for him at this time.
But Jia Rong has said it all. If he really ignores the competition for face, who knows whether the boy in front of him will suddenly turn his back?
Being able to squeeze ethnic studies students and make them help copy books to make money, and also suppress their dissatisfaction, this is the skill.
At least, Lian Er asked himself, if it were him, he could only do this.
It's not like he has never been in the clan school. He still knows very well what the students in the clan school are like. They are definitely not easy to fool.
Of course, he didn't come here rashly to steal Jia Rong's interests.
"Uncle Qi Tang, my life is hard!"
In front of the twelve-year-old boy, Lian Er acted regardless of his shame: "I'm going to get married to your second aunt, Feng Lazi of the Wang family!"
"But you also know that uncle, I am just helping the second master with odd jobs, and I don't have much money at all!"
“I have to deal with the expenses of a bunch of friends, so I’m really stretched thin!”
At this point, the conversation changed and he said directly: "The reason why I came to visit you suddenly is because I want to ask you for some advice on how to make money. Don't tell me that you don't have any!"
This guy is very talented in acting, and he showed the suffering of a poor young man very well.
Of course, this is probably his true state of mind at this time.
After all, the Ningrong Erfu brand is still alive and it still has some energy and prestige.
Even though Lian Er is just an outsider in the mansion, his background is there after all.
The people I make friends with outside are basically the direct descendants of other noble families.
He may not be taken seriously like him, but his status is there.
The monthly expenses spent on drinking with friends is not a small amount, and this money cannot be saved.
If he saves it, he will naturally be ostracized. It will not be so easy to integrate in the future.
Even though Jia Zhu was in the house, she almost pushed Lian Er into the mud.
But in fact, the situation outside is completely reversed.
Jia Zhu's so-called friends were either poor scholars from the Imperial College or descendants of the Xungui family.
There are some things that cannot be seen in Rong Mansion, but once they go outside, everything is revealed.
It's a pity that Dafang is not the head of Rong Mansion.
The pardoned master was preoccupied with staying in the East Courtyard, either playing concubine or playing with antiques. He also treated Lian Er, his legitimate son, by beating or scolding him, and he could not get any financial support at all.
Just relying on the little monthly routine and the extra money from doing errands, life is very difficult.
In particular, as his fiancée Feng Lazi was about to leave the country, Lian Er had to spend even more money outside, and those days were simply miserable.
If he wasn't still sensible, or if he wasn't so courageous, he would have secretly taken the good things in the house to a pawn shop to exchange them for money.
This guy has been worried a lot recently about money.
He didn't even pay much attention to his cousin Yuanchun's entry into the palace.
I accidentally heard that Rong Geer from Dongfu actually made money by exploiting his classmates in the clan school.
In his heart, he was quite envious and jealous.
After careful inquiring, Lian Er couldn't help but feel excited.
An income of more than fifty taels a month is very attractive to him.
At the same time, after learning about it through various channels, I was surprised to find that Brother Rong seemed to be a different person recently.
Of course it was not a sudden change, but it took more than half a year for the outside world to gradually adapt to his changes.
Lian Er naturally didn't suspect anything, but he was interested in Jia Rong.
How to put it, he felt that Jia Rong must have other ways to make money, but the ethnic studies student's power was limited after all, so he couldn't do it.
But he is different. Even though he is just an external manager of the Xifu, he has his own connections and channels. If there is any way to make money, he will definitely be able to grasp it firmly.
If he weren't afraid of being embarrassed, he would have forced the maids in the yard and the boys around him to copy books together to help make money.
"No way, Uncle Lian will be short of money?"
Now, it was Jia Rong's turn to be surprised and asked subconsciously: "Is it possible that the dowry left by my second uncle's biological mother was all squandered by my second uncle?"
Having said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Second Uncle Lian, what you are doing is very dangerous. If Master Pardon finds out, it will not be a joke..."
