Jia Rong returned to Ning Mansion and said nothing about what happened in Rong Mansion.
It's really embarrassing!
The Jinling clan doesn't know what's going on. Don't they have some clues in their hearts?
How dare you write a letter to express your dissatisfaction?
What makes people even more speechless is that the letter was actually delivered to the old lady of Rongfu.
To be honest, Jia Rong is the co-head of the entire Jia clan, including the Jinling branch and the Jingcheng branch.
Although he did not value the so-called clan power, and even gave some of the clan power to the neighboring Rong Mansion in order to live a peaceful life, it did not mean that the Rong Mansion could really overtake the Ning Mansion and become the talker of the clan.
Jia's mother has a high status and holds the title of duchess, but it is not her turn to be the master of the Jia family.
Maybe the people talking to the Jinling clan were all senior citizens, and they felt that they had no common language when talking to Jia Rong, so they sent the letter to the old lady.
But no matter what, they acted like this just because they didn't take Jia Rong seriously.
In this case, why should Jia Rong take them to heart?
Given the current state of the Jinling clan, it is impossible to do without the support of the Beijing clan.
Whenever the Jingcheng clan expresses its intention to abandon the Jinling clan, as long as the slightest hint of it is revealed, I believe that many forces in Jinling will pounce on it without hesitation and completely devour the Jinling clan without leaving any residue behind.
To put it bluntly, the strength of the Jinling clan itself is very average, and to be able to achieve the current situation is just a fake.
I don’t know what those people think. It’s quite possible that they haven’t mastered enough self-protection power in the past hundred years.
This is also the reason why Jia Rong's evaluation of the Jinling clan is very average. A powerful person is not like a powerful person, and a squire is not a country squire. I really don't know how the Jinling clan positions itself?
When Lin Ruhai was working in Jiangnan, why was there no response from the Jinling clan?
He did not directly serve as the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. He had been in other places before. However, if he had held the post of magistrate, he would have certain connections and strength in the officialdom of Jiangnan.
Because of his good work in the local area and his special background, he was appointed by the emperor to be the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor.
Before that, he had never heard of any connection between the Jinling clan and Lin Ruhai.
Now that I see how the Jingcheng clan has direct contact with Lin, I don’t know what to think?
Anyway, according to Jia Rong's wishes, it will be fine as long as they don't hold back.
Just as Mr. Pardon said to the old lady, there are too few talents in the capital clan at this time. When the talent in the capital clan reaches a certain level, he will take the initiative to take action against the Jinling clan.
After occupying such good resources for hundreds of years, it ended up being like this?
No matter how you put it, you have to be among the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River.
The situation in Jiangnan at this time was similar to that of Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty.
Of course, because the Daqian Dynasty did not implement the policy of the nobles and the lowly, the civil servant group had not yet reached the point where it could dominate the world with one hand. Although the power of the Jiangnan gentry group was powerful, it was not so fearful that the royal family did not dare to act rashly.
But as far as Jia Rong knew, the so-called gentry in Jiangnan were not just joking.
Together they have almost divided the wealthy Jiang Guangua, leaving very little space for the common people and the court.
That is to say, there are local troops stationed as a deterrent, and taxes in the Jiangnan area have always been collected normally. Although the amount of money is not large, it has always been able to maintain a relatively stable situation.
After all, the Daqian Dynasty was a Han dynasty, and its attitude toward the gentry was unlikely to be unequivocal.
This also fueled the arrogance of the Jiangnan Gentry Group!
Of course, the noble group of the Daqian Dynasty is living well. They all have their own interests in Jiangnan and can check each other with the Jiangnan gentry group. This is the main reason why the royal family has great influence on the Jiangnan region.
But no matter what, the Jinling clan has relied on the power of the Ningrong Palace and has been operating for nearly a hundred years, but it has not yet become one of the top gentry families in Jinling. It is really quite useless.
As for the so-called official amulets, they are bullshit and bring disaster!
What he relied on was mainly the power of the Ningrong Second Mansion in the capital.
Of course, there is still the power to connect the so-called four major families in Jinling in the local area, as well as the power of the Zhen family, to have a great influence on the Jinling prefecture's yamen.
But, that’s it.
As far as Jia Rong knows, in the past ten years, not one of the Jinling prefects has been convicted.
In other words, it is indeed debatable how powerful the so-called official protection talismans in Jinling are.
The cooperation with Lin Ruhai will not end for a while at least.
The clans in the capital will be sending a steady stream of manpower there.
Just from the letters sent back by the first wave of ethnic studies students, we can see that after their experience, both their knowledge and their ability to deal with practical problems have been significantly improved, which is quite good.
When the second batch of ethnic studies graduates arrive next year and a stable talent training model is formed, Jia Rong can start planning for the officialdom.
During this period, Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou salt inspector, was the key.
Jia Rong didn't want Lin Ruhai's career to be affected because of the problems with the Jinling clan.
After returning to the mansion, he immediately threw the affairs of the Jinling clan out of his mind and didn't pay much attention to them at all.
After Qin Keqing heard the news, she immediately came to the second gate to greet her, and fulfilled her duty as a wife.
In terms of housekeeping ability and personal appearance, Qin Keqing is definitely a top expert.
In addition, she showed how to give full play to her own advantages and performed very well in front of Jia Rong, perfectly interpreting that women are made of water.
Of course, although Qin Keqing has many advantages, his shortcomings are also quite prominent.
That is to strive for perfection, and I don’t know why. When facing the old lady and the masters of the Rong Mansion, I always feel a little cautious and look a little inferior.
The same is true. Although Qin Keqing is not inferior to Wang Xifeng in ability, his reputation is much better than Wang Xifeng.
Unfortunately, in Rongfu, a good reputation is of no use at all.
The people in the Rong Mansion are used to pushing the envelope. The more you give in, the more they won't give up. They have to take advantage of it.
What displeased Jia Rong the most was that every time Qin Keqing went to Rong Mansion to pay respects, Jia Baoyu, who was only just four years old, would try to take advantage of her.
Either they want a hug, or they are flooded with all kinds of requests, and if they don’t agree, they’ll throw a tantrum and get very upset.
If this guy wasn't too young, I'm afraid Jia Rong would have looked for a chance to educate him.
Not to mention that Jia Baoyu is just a child, this kid is very smart and what he says is quite bold...
