Chapter 762: Telling the truth while drunk (please vote for me)
When it comes to Jia Yucun's ability in all aspects, he is definitely more than a little bit better than Leng Zixing.
But he is good at being able to relax his figure!
After being dragged to a tavern deep in an alley by Leng Zixing, he did not show any displeasure and kept the smile on his face.
For this city alone, Leng Zixing is far behind.
As soon as this guy came up, he was full of complaints.
Nothing else, the life of a home-based son-in-law is quite depressing.
Even though he has no worries about food and clothing, and even in the capital he is considered a small fortune, his pursuits are naturally getting higher and higher, and there is no end.
As a live-in son-in-law, he naturally has no say in the family.
Even the children born cannot bear his surname.
At the beginning, he naturally had no confidence and no courage to resist.
But as time went by, as he helped his father-in-law and mother-in-law dig corners of the Rong Mansion, the capital in his hands gradually became richer. After being called Boss Leng for a long time, his thoughts naturally changed.
Of course, it was just a thought, and he would never dare to resist.
I usually keep these words in my heart, but now I met my old friend Jia Yucun, whom I haven't seen for many years, and after drinking a few drinks, I poured them all out.
Naturally, Jia Yucun could only offer consolation, but in his heart he was quite disdainful and unhappy.
Leng Zixing's complaints sounded almost like showing off to him.
You know, since he was dismissed from office, he was just a poor scholar.
With the experience of being an official, you have a lot of needs for money.
But as the enlightenment teacher for the young lady of a powerful family, the most he could get was fifty taels a year, plus some miscellaneous supplies.
For ordinary people, fifty years of money a year can already lead a comfortable life, but for Jiayu Village, life is quite tight.
Fortunately, when you become Mr. Enlightenment, you don’t need to spend money on food and accommodation. Otherwise, if you have to repair fifty taels a year, your life will only be more embarrassing.
On the contrary, Leng Zixing only needs to sit in the shop and sell antiques.
Because it is a business without capital, you can earn at least tens or hundreds of taels of silver from selling an antique, and your life will be so leisurely and brisk.
Otherwise, how could Zhou Rui's family reach the level of a small rich man in the capital?
The more Leng Zixing 'shows off', the more unhappy Jia Yucun becomes.
Seeing that Leng Zixing was almost drunk, he struck while the iron was hot and revealed his true purpose.
"Oh, why would Brother Shi Fei be interested in the masters of Rong Mansion?"
Leng Zixing was a little curious and sober from the wine.
"To be honest, Brother Leng, my proprietor is the uncle of the Rong Mansion, and I'm afraid we will have to deal with him often in the future!"
Jia Yucun chuckled and explained: "Of course, the most important thing is that I hope to re-enter the officialdom through the relationship between Dong Weng or Rongfu!"
Leng Zixing suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Brother Shi Fei really asked the right person!"
"If we talk about our understanding of the masters of Rong Mansion, although Leng is not the most powerful, he is very familiar with the situation inside!"
"Oh, come and have a drink, I'd like to hear more about it!"
"The Rong Mansion is divided into a large house and two bedrooms. The owner of the big house pardons the old man for his lust for sex. There is really nothing to say. He is just a standard old dude!"
"Lian Er, the legitimate son of Dafang, is quite capable. He has now become a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. With the momentum of the Rong Mansion, his future is quite promising!"
"As for the remaining heirs of the eldest family, there is no need to mention them because they are young!"
"On the contrary, the second master, the second master, is not only the head of the Rong Mansion, but he has also been promoted step by step in the officialdom. He is now the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department!"
"Uncle Zhu, the eldest son of the second wife, is a scholar. He won the Jinshi this year and is currently serving as a county magistrate. As long as there are no mistakes, promotion will not be a problem!"
"As for the second son of the second wife, he is still young, but he is quite popular with the old lady. As for his future future, I can't tell for the time being!"
Jia Yucun was a little surprised. This seemed to be a little different from the news he had heard before.
Seeing that Leng Zixing was a little confused after drinking, he hurriedly asked: "So, the children of Rongfu are quite capable and extraordinary!"
Leng Zixing chuckled and said, "Brother Shi Fei is really right. The Rong Mansion is indeed looking to be revitalized right now!"
As he spoke, his face still looked proud.
The corners of Jia Yucun's eyes twitched, and he almost stopped swearing.
Damn it, since Rongfu has an extraordinary atmosphere and is very revitalized, why don't you close your antique shop early to avoid any accidents?
Of course, he would never say this.
What does Leng Zixing's life and death have to do with him?
"That's not right. The information I found about the Rong Mansion in the past was not so impressive!"
Jia Yucun asked curiously: "It seems that it didn't take long for Rongfu to gain momentum, right?"
"Brother Shi Fei has a sharp eye and can see very accurately!"
Leng Zixing, his mouth full of alcohol, said unsteadily: "The Rong Mansion a few years ago was not like this!"
"As for the source of the change, it only happened after the head of the Ning Mansion next door was replaced by Jia Rong!"
"Isn't the head of the Ning Mansion a third-grade mighty general Jia Zhen?"
Jia Yucun was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Is it possible that something happened?"
"A few years ago, Uncle Zhen of the Ning Mansion had a conflict with Prince Zhongshun, and was crippled by Prince Zhongshun's heir apparent. Currently, the Ning Mansion is headed by his only legitimate son, Uncle Jia!"
"Can this still happen?"
Jia Yucun was stunned, and his first reaction was that there must be something fishy inside.
"Brother Shi Fei doesn't know that Uncle Rong is a powerful character despite his young age!"
Leng Zixing, full of alcohol, shook his head and introduced: "Since Uncle Rong became the head of the Ning Mansion and also took the position of the head of the Jia clan, the first thing he did was to rectify the family science!"
"Jia Clanology?"
Hearing this, the first thing Jia Yucun thought of was the group of teenagers and young people who relied on Lin Ruhai when he was in Yangzhou.
It's a pity that he usually teaches Lin Ruhai's children in the middle courtyard.
In the area where he usually moves, there is basically no interaction with the teenagers and young people whom Lin Ruhai trusts around him, let alone any communication.
He had heard that these boys and young men were from the Jia clan school in the capital, but the specific situation was unclear.
In order to gain Lin Ruhai's favor, Jia Yucun really spent a lot of thought and energy on educating his children.
In addition, Lin Ruhai's eldest daughter Lin Daiyu is indeed very smart, and her academic progress is quite amazing. She has already begun to study the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age.
Being able to teach such talented students is still a great sense of accomplishment, but it is also stressful.
Most of his energy was devoted to educating Lin Ruhai's children, so he was naturally a little slow to understand information from the outside world.
If he hadn't left Yangzhou on an official ship with the Lin family, he still wouldn't know what Lin Ruhai had done to be transferred out of such a prestigious job as the Salt Patrol Censor...
