If Mr. Zheng Er can be promoted, not only will the old lady be happy, but Mrs. Wang will be even happier.
Although the official positions assigned to Mr. Zheng by Brother Rong of the Ning Mansion are all standard idle positions, his rank has been upgraded.
Mrs. Wang agreed immediately, and even made up her mind to ask her brother to do his best so that she could be proud of him.
At this time, Lian Er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Old lady, Second Aunt, I'm afraid the Wang family may not agree!"
"What are you talking about?"
Before Jia Mu could speak, Mrs. Wang became unhappy and said angrily: "Lian'er, how can you talk nonsense?"
"The four major families are connected by the same spirit and should help each other!"
There are some things that are difficult to say out loud. My brother is prospering in the capital camp. Is it because he has the support and influence of the people in Rongfu?
"Brother Rong said before that Uncle Wang is very interested in competing for the position of the boss of the four major families in Jinling!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "If the master's official position is promoted, it will not be much different from Uncle Wang's rank..."
Needless to say what happened next, everyone in Rongqing Hall immediately understood.
The only way for Wang Ziteng to become the head of the four major families in Jinling is to have an official position that far exceeds that of the best sons of the other three families.
At this time, the prince could not hold a fourth-grade official position, and it was also a military position.
If the second master of politics is successfully promoted to a fifth-rank official position, the gap is really not that big.
As long as Mr. Fan Zheng is still in officialdom, the Rong Mansion will never bow to the Wang family.
Unless Wang Ziteng's competition for the imperial envoy goes smoothly, he will still have a hard time becoming the boss of the four major families in Jinling.
"Huh, Lian'er, you don't need to worry about this. I will have a good talk with my brother!"
Mrs. Wang looked ugly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, sir, I will have a good talk with my brother when I return to my parents' home!"
Even though she said this, the expressions of the old lady and Mr. Zheng did not immediately relax.
Jia Zhu, who was next to her, was just pretending to be transparent and was not willing to participate in such a thing.
The Pardon Master ignored these at all and calmly recounted Jia Rong's arrangements for Lian Er.
"What, let Lian Er join the household department as an errand?"
The old lady was a little surprised and subconsciously said: "The foreign affairs department in the mansion..."
"Isn't there a foreign steward?"
Mr. Pardon was not happy anymore and said in a deep voice: "If it is really something that requires Lian Er to take action, I can do it, right?"
As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, she knew she had said the wrong thing.
Seeing Mr. Pardon's fierce reaction, she said calmly: "Things in the house are also very important!"
"Besides, what is Lian Er's identity?"
"When he first entered the Hubu Yamen, he was only a minor official of seventh or eighth grade. Is this in line with his status?"
"No need to say more, mother!"
Mr. Pardon didn't talk nonsense, and he knew that he couldn't defeat Jia Mu, so he said directly: "This is the clan's arrangement!"
"If mother has any ideas, you can find an opportunity to talk to Brother Rong!"
"Yes grandma!"
At this time, Lian Er was afraid that Jia Mu would play tricks on him and ruin his good future, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Rong is very dissatisfied with the current power of our Jia family in the officialdom!"
"My uncle alone in the officialdom is too weak!"
"Brother Rong's intention is very clear. We must have more clan members in the officialdom so that we can have someone to take care of us!"
"Not only does my grandson have arrangements, but Brother Qiang also has a whereabouts!"
Mother Jia, who originally wanted to scold her, became interested after hearing this and asked curiously: "How old is Brother Qiang that he can arrange it?"
"Brother Qiang was arranged to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Lian Er smiled and said: "Ning Mansion has connections, so it's not difficult to send people in!"
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Jia Mu was in a daze and sighed: "Brother Rong is really thoughtful!"
These words were regarded as recognition of what Jia Rong had done.
If it were in the story of Red Mansions, Mrs. Wang would definitely jump out and ruin Lian Er's good intentions of entering the officialdom.
However, at this time, Jia Zhu was still alive and had a bright future. Naturally, Mrs. Wang would not focus on Lian Er, for fear that Lian Er would be too powerful and affect the interests of her second wife.
After all, during the period of The Story of Red Mansions, the age gap between Jia Baoyu and Lian Er was quite big.
Of course, even so, she was unhappy.
When I was planning to meet my parents' family, I also talked to my brother about it.
Why is there no one to take care of him in the officialdom? Could it be that his brother Wang Ziteng is dead?
Jia Mu thought more deeply, and was shocked by Jia Rong's behavior.
This is what a clan leader should do!
Use the power of the clan to convert network resources and influence into tangible official positions and authority as much as possible.
This skill alone is stronger than any previous patriarch of the Jia family.
But because of this, Jia's mother became very wary of Jia Rong.
Don't forget, she has great ideas about the family rights of the Jia clan in the capital.
If all Jia Rong's plans and ideas are realized, then his prestige in the clan cannot be captured by the simple word "patriarch".
If the Rong Mansion wants to increase its voice in the clan, the difficulty will not only increase tenfold?
"By the way, what about Brother Rong himself? Do you have any ideas or arrangements?"
"Old lady, there are only two men in the Ning Mansion. Brother Qiang has entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is naturally impossible for Brother Rong to enter the officialdom again!"
Mr. Pardon laughed and said: "Besides, Brother Rong is still the clan leader, so how can he enter the officialdom and fight without any distractions?"
"That's it!"
For some reason, Jia Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
Mainly, Jia Rong's performance at the ancestral hall meeting was too dazzling.
At such a young age, he clearly arranged the arrangements for the men of Ning Rong's second house. This kind of skill is quite extraordinary.
If this guy enters the officialdom and relies on the power of the Jia family and the influence of the Founding Eight Gongs, how can he fly around?
The anger that I had been filled with had almost dissipated by now.
Feeling tired, Jia Mu waved her hand to signal everyone to leave. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow.
Then, a fierce conflict broke out in the second room, and Mrs. Wang scolded her new daughter-in-law Li Wan until she cried.
In the eldest house, the eldest man was in a good mood and gave Mrs. Xing a rare good look.
But Lian Er and Wang Xifeng were not living in harmony.
Mainly because Wang Xifeng was too short-sighted, or was influenced by the atmosphere of the Wang family and the Rong family, and was not very satisfied with Lian Er entering the household department as an errand.
At that time, the servants of the Wang family and the servants of the Rong family were just talking nonsense, and each one spoke more smoothly than the other. It seemed that apart from the palace, they were the only ones competing against each other. The problem was that Wang Xifeng believed it after hearing it too much...
