In fact, Lian Er thought too much, and Jia Rong didn't pay much attention to the matter of getting married and the hidden meaning in it.
Time flies and the Chinese New Year period is soon here.
Since the Little New Year, the sound of firecrackers on the street has never stopped, and the air is filled with a considerable smell of gunpowder smoke, and the New Year flavor is quite strong.
Everyone in the Ning Mansion is busy, preparing to celebrate the New Year happily.
Early on, the red lanterns under the eaves were hung up.
As the saying goes, new people bring new atmosphere.
This year happens to be the first year that Jia Rong inherits the title and becomes the head of the Jia family in the capital.
Whether it was the servants of the Ning Mansion or the Jia family in the capital, they all felt that they should take care of things well and leave a good impression on Jia Rong.
After all, after more than half a year of observation, anyone who is not stupid can tell that Jia Rong is not an easy person.
He didn't have to worry about studying at home, after all, he hired a professional tutor for the imperial examination.
As for forcing ethnic studies students to copy books, this was also approved by the foreign teachers. The tribesmen and the parents of the children in the attached school had nothing to say.
The key is that since Jia Rong became the head of the Ning Mansion, the Ning Mansion has undergone a major blood change.
Although this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him and was all handled by Mrs. Zhao who was in charge of the backyard, things always happened when he was the head of the family.
In addition, there is the polo game that is gradually becoming popular in Beijing.
Everyone knows that it was Jia Rong who proposed the idea of playing polo and started forming teams to conquer all directions.
The current polo match has become one of the favorite forms of entertainment for young men in the capital.
Among them, the amount of money involved in each polo match has begun to advance from a hundred taels to a thousand taels level.
With the attention of many noble families in the capital and the investment of big businessmen, I believe that when the polo league starts next year, there will be an even greater money storm.
Apart from anything else, there are a lot of polo players in the Ningfu Polo Team. In just a few months, who hasn’t earned three to five hundred taels?
All of this was done by Jia Rong, who had never been a prominent person before.
Not to mention nonsense like awe, at least the people in the Ning Mansion and the Jia clan in the capital knew that the new head of the family was capable.
I'm really not that old now, but there's always time to grow up.
In the mansion, Mrs. Zhao is still in charge, so no one of the servants should behave randomly.
After more than half a year of rectification, the order and atmosphere within Ning Mansion have been greatly improved.
Jia Rong saw all this and naturally knew it well.
With his grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, sitting in the backyard of Ning Mansion, he doesn't need to spend energy here and can put most of his thoughts outside the mansion.
As he turns 30 this year to worship his ancestors, he doesn't plan to go through the same process as before. There are still some things he needs to talk about.
It’s so outrageous over there in Rong Mansion!
Jia Zhu and Li Wan have been married for less than half a year. The honeymoon period and the newlywed period have passed.
Jia Rong has been waiting for Jia Zhu to take the initiative and contribute some of the channels used by his father-in-law, Imperial College, to offer wine to Li Shouzhong.
It's just a pity that this guy is just like a piece of elm wood and has no performance at all.
This is very fucked up. It’s not touching the core interests of Jia Zhu or Rong Mansion. I believe Li Shouzhong will not refuse, so why is there no expression at all?
Didn't Rong Mansion hear any news that there are several students in the clan school who want to take part in next year's childbirth examination?
If it hadn't been for the previous polo team and the distraction of getting married, I'm afraid he would have come looking for him a long time ago.
Regarding this matter, Jia Rong planned to ask straight to the point after worshiping the ancestors.
It just so happened that all the elders of the Jia clan in the capital were there at that time, and the difficult female relatives like Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were not in the ancestral hall, so it was easy to talk.
On the New Year's Day, Lian Er and his husband in Ethnology's office checked the accounts of the antique shop and then directly distributed the dividends.
After more than half a year of operation, the business of the Ninqi Store is on the right track.
Every month, it can basically bring Jia Rong nearly a thousand taels of silver income, which is more than ten thousand taels a year, which is quite good.
After signing and depositing his money, Jia Rong finally revealed some of his thoughts, letting Lian Er know what he was thinking.
He would not tell Lian Er his thoughts that were too specific.
Who knows if this guy will turn around and sell him. If the old lady Jia Mu and the second wife Mrs. Wang were to know about it in advance, there would definitely be complications.
Especially Mrs. Wang, she only cares about her own interests. As for the Jia family and the clan, she doesn't care at all.
From the story of the Red Mansion, we can know how unreasonable an old lady will be if she dotes on her grandson.
Lian Er was quite astute and heard the deep meaning of Jia Rong's words. He couldn't help being surprised and said: "Brother Rong, what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, it's just to provide extra protection for ethnic studies students!"
Jia Rong said vaguely: "Grandma told me that there are many doorways in the imperial examination. If no one leads through the door, it is easy to fall on the threshold!"
"Then have you thought about the reaction of the old lady and the second wife?"
"This is a matter of the Jia family. We have to get the Wang family and the Shi family to get involved. My second uncle is not afraid of people laughing at him!"
In one sentence, Lian blushed and felt embarrassed.
"In addition, the second uncle can also inform the elder in advance, maybe he will be needed to help set up the ladder at that time!"
After saying this, he served tea to see the guests off.
As for whether Lian Er will act according to his ideas, it doesn't matter at all.
Soon, it’s New Year’s Eve.
The entire Ningrong Mansion was immersed in the joyful New Year atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, for the Jia family in the capital, the most important thing is to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
Of course, for those tribesmen who are used to taking advantage, it is quite attractive to have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner provided by Ning Mansion and take some New Year gifts.
When worshiping ancestors, it was rare to see Jia Zhu.
I heard that this guy has been working hard to prepare for next year's spring since he got married. It's very hard.
But Jia Rong could tell with just one glance that this guy was too drunk.
The bones in the body are already weak, and I guess the newlyweds were uninhibited, which made their face pale and bloodless. The bones in the body are also very thin, and they look like they will collapse if the wind blows.
It is really in line with the current mainstream image of scholars, who are powerless!
Ahem, Jia Rong is less than 14 years old at this time, and his height has reached 1.6 meters, only a few centimeters shorter than Jia Zhu. I don’t know how this guy grew up smoothly?
Regardless of whether it was the New Year's Eve or the New Year's Eve, Jia Rong sent people to invite his cheap father who lived in the suburbs and his grandfather Jia Jing, a cultivator, back to his house to preside over ancestor worship, but all failed to achieve their goals.
It's something that was expected, even though I don't agree with it in my heart, but I still have to do something superficial...
