I don’t know what Jia Zhen, the cheap old man, was thinking. As if she was afraid of causing trouble, she immediately started preparations for three matchmakers and six employments after she made a marriage contract with Qin Ye, the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry.
Without waiting for Jia Rong's reaction, he had completed the pre-wedding rituals a year ago and was waiting to get married immediately in the spring of the next year.
That is to say, at this time, Jia Rong was in a very peaceful state of mind and didn't care about this at all.
If it were the original Jia Rong, I would definitely feel a pang in my heart.
After all, he is the eldest son and heir to the title of Ning Mansion, so he must care a lot about his marriage. How could he accept such a hasty act?
Anyone who is not a fool and knows something about the rules of marriage between noble families will know that there is something fishy about Jia Rong's marriage.
That is to say, the Ning Mansion is not very powerful at this time, otherwise the news would have spread a lot.
Even so, those noble disciples who had suffered losses at the hands of the Ning Mansion Polo Team made fun and ridicule of this matter.
"Brother Rong, congratulations!"
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the howling cold wind is making people feel chilly.
On this day, Lian Er, who had wrapped himself up so tightly, could hardly show his face. He smiled and said congratulations.
"There's nothing to congratulate, it's almost becoming a joke among the noble disciples!"
Jia Rong is dressed in a smart outfit, with thick fur padding the joints of her hands and feet. She is tall and tall, has a handsome appearance, and speaks in a neither gentle nor serious tone. She has the air of an aristocratic gentleman.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lian Er said disapprovingly: "Don't listen to those guys, getting married is a good thing, you will know it by then!"
Jia Rong flicked the riding whip in her hand, glanced sideways at this guy, and said angrily: "I'm not yet fourteen during the Chinese New Year. Second uncle thinks it's a good thing for me to get married at this time?"
"hey-hey……"
Lian Er was stunned for a moment before reacting suddenly, and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, but you kid, don't have any ideas. The identity of your marriage partner is not easy to tell!"
At this time, the two of them were walking side by side on the official road with few pedestrians.
The closest servants around me are fifteen steps away, so I have a wide field of vision and don’t have to worry about being eavesdropped. At least the servants around me don’t have such ability.
After hearing Lian Er's pretentious words, Jia Rong immediately reacted. Apparently, the Rong Mansion already knew about Qin Keqing's matter.
There was no excitement in my heart, no anger, no bad negative thoughts, I just felt funny.
In fact, it has been clearly revealed in the story of Red Mansions.
If it weren't for Qin Keqing's unusual status, given the urinary nature of the Jia clan in the capital, they wouldn't have shown any sign of Qin Keqing's role as the clan's wife?
Jia Mu's attitude towards Qin Keqing was also quite affectionate.
"Second Uncle, do you think it's appropriate for the East and West Houses to do this?"
Since Lian Er already knew something, Jia Rong didn't need to beat around the bush and asked directly: "Is it necessary to burn such a cold stove?"
"this……"
Lian Er was speechless for a moment and said with a wry smile: "The old lady and the master have made a decision. As a junior, what can I do even if I don't agree?"
"Yes, I just can't figure out what the old lady and my father are thinking."
Jia Rong said calmly: "If you want your family to prosper, you don't focus on cultivating your clan members. Instead, you only think about taking shortcuts. How can shortcuts be so easy?"
Lian Er was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question.
The volume of Jia Rong's voice suddenly dropped, and she said leisurely: "To be honest, even if both houses succeed in their bet, so what?"
"Is it possible that that person will directly put us in high positions?"
"The biggest possibility is just to be promoted!"
"But there is no title that is entrusted with great power. Apart from the fact that it sounds a little nicer, it is a little different from what it is now. It is essentially the same, right?"
"Oh, by the way, even if there are any actual benefits, Ning Mansion will still get the lion's share. After all, that person is marrying me!"
With that said, he ignored Lian Er's ugly expression, got on his horse and walked away.
Lian Er's mood suddenly reached rock bottom.
Jia Rong's words were like thunder exploding in his ears, making him start to feel trance-like. Fortunately, there was a servant around to take care of him, otherwise he might not even be able to find his way home. It's not an exaggeration at all.
"Second Master, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lian Er's devastated and shocked look, Wang Xifeng, who happened to be back, was so frightened that his face turned pale with fright.
"Second Master is fine, he's just in a bad mood!"
Lian Er came to his senses, picked up the teapot on the table, drank all the warm tea in one breath, and then put down the teapot and took a deep breath.
Wang Xifeng and Heping'er looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, I was indeed hit by Brother Rong's words!"
Seeing his wife's worried look, Lian Er felt warm in his heart and recounted the important conversation with Jia Rong just now.
He shook his head and finally said: "What Brother Rong said makes sense, why don't the old lady and the others not understand?"
Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled: "How could the old lady not know this?"
Seeing Lian Er looking over, she said with some pride: "I guess the old lady is very calculating. She will definitely not show that she knows Brother Rong's daughter-in-law who has never been married to her and has a special status!"
"If something happens, Ning Mansion will take care of it!"
"If the final plan succeeds, Rong Mansion will definitely benefit from it!"
Sure enough, ginger is still spicier!
Lian Er suddenly understood, nodded and said suddenly: "Tell me, does Brother Rong know what the old lady is thinking?"
"Then there's no need to ask, I'm sure I know!"
Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly: "So what if you know?"
"The old lady just followed the trend and didn't take the initiative to get involved. Brother Zhen is responsible for everything in the Ning Mansion!"
"According to the script, this is a real conspiracy!"
"Besides, seniority and strength are there, even if everyone in the Ning family is angry, they won't show any excessive behavior!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said, "That's easy to say, but I don't want to be at odds with Brother Rong. There's no benefit at all!"
"Although I don't know what Brother Rong's plans are, I always feel that this guy is holding back some big moves and is just waiting to release them after spring!"
Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously and felt that Lian Er was really crazy.
Although she had never been in contact with Brother Rong from Ning Mansion, she didn't think that a boy under fourteen years old could really be that powerful.
Being able to make money is indeed a skill, but it is not that important to the Xungui family. Wang Xifeng understands very clearly that as long as you have the power, you can have anything.
On the contrary, if you are simply rich, you will one day become what others call fat, and you will not be able to keep it at all.
When she was still in her hometown of Jinling, she had witnessed several such cases with her own eyes...
