That night, Lin Daiyu stayed at Rong Mansion for dinner.
Jia Baoyu's wish to get close to Lin Daiyu failed, Jia's mother directly called Lin Daiyu to her side, and was very affectionate like a good granddaughter.
Lin Daiyu was not uncomfortable with it. Jia Mu was very good at making these superficial remarks. Every time the family came over, at least on the surface they were very affectionate.
Even Mrs. Wang has no dissatisfaction.
After all, the Lin family at this time can be said to be extremely prominent.
The head of the family, Lin Ruhai, is a dignified second-grade feudal official, and Lin Daiyu is very honored as the legitimate daughter of a second-grade official.
She even maintained a quite supportive attitude towards the old lady's attempt to get along with Shuangyu. This is the reality.
In order to entertain Lin Daiyu, Rongqingtang's luxurious dishes included many Jiangnan specialties, and Lin Daiyu ate quite comfortably.
There was a martial arts course in the girls' school. Although Lin Daiyu didn't like it very much, she still exercised seriously and her physical fitness was quite good at this time.
At least, you don’t need to take the decoction and medicine every day.
After dinner, Jia Mu pretended to be casual and asked her son-in-law Lin Ruhai about his employment in Shanxi Province.
It is not easy to find out the details from Jia Min.
Although they are mother and daughter, Jia Min is the housewife of the Lin family after all at this time, and some things will not be discussed casually with her mother.
Especially regarding the information about her husband Lin Ruhai, Jia Min rarely spoke because of the old lady's subtle attitude before.
Before, Jia Mu didn't care much about this.
But the situation is different now. Jin Province involves astonishing interests. If Jia Mu wants the Rong Mansion to get involved, she has to rely on Lin Ruhai's help.
Lin Daiyu had no doubt that she had it, and while drinking the delicious scented tea presented by the school, she casually told her what she knew.
Because Lin Ruhai valued a pair of children very much, Jia Min had no intention of hiding Lin Daiyu's information and situation.
Of course, Lin Daiyu didn't know much.
All she knew was that her father had just gotten acquainted with the situation in Jin Province. She heard that there was some chaos there and that he might not even come back during the New Year.
Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu frowned slightly and muttered dissatisfied: "I don't know what those adults are doing fighting all day long, aren't they tired?"
Jia Mu heard it funny, but she was not very satisfied in her heart.
Of course she knew why Jin Province was in chaos. Wasn't it caused by the novel "Cornucano" and the local coal mines?
However, Lin Ruhai has been here for a month and still hasn't figured it out, which makes Jia's mother unhappy.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. If you don't strike while the interests of Jin Province are not completely divided now, you will have to pay a high price if you want to get involved in the future.
Of course, Jia Mu has always been more self-centered.
As long as you want to do something, you will do everything possible to do it, and you will not care about other people's thoughts and ideas.
This time is no exception, Lin Ruhai is her son-in-law!
Jia Mu planned to send someone directly there and ask Lin Ruhai to build a coal mine, and a large one, otherwise she would not agree.
"Dad wrote to say that the guys over there in Jin Province are so bold that from time to time, fights involving dozens or even hundreds of people break out!"
Lin Daiyu was a little worried about her father's safety. The old lady aroused her sadness and couldn't help but murmured: "They also said that sometimes military supplies were used, and even horse battles occurred!"
Hearing this, Jia Mu's face became a little stiff and her heart felt a little blocked.
My previous thoughts collapsed instantly, and I didn’t know what to do for a while.
How could she have imagined that the competition for interests in Jin Province would be so fierce?
If you send someone from the mansion, it will be in vain unless you use the secret power you have at your disposal.
She would not doubt that her granddaughter Lin Daiyu's words were a lie.
How could a little girl under six years old talk nonsense in front of her own grandmother?
But in this case, the Rong Mansion's desire to get involved in the coal mines of Jin Province may have to be put on hold for the time being.
The main thing is that there is no one in the house who is not afraid of risks and can still stand alone. Anyone sent there is just delivering food.
There is no other way. For the time being, we can only place our hope on Ning Mansion.
Speaking of Ning Mansion, Jia Mu felt a toothache.
This kid Jia Rong is getting harder and harder to handle.
Previously, because Baoyu caused trouble in the girls' school, Jiang Rongfu was slapped in the face.
Mother Jia was very angry, but there was nothing she could do against this boy.
At that time, she was so angry that she almost asked Yingchun, Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun to drop out of school.
But not only the second child objected, but Jia Rong, the boy, also directly informed the whole clan in the name of the clan leader that if the young girls of Rong Mansion did not go to girls' school, their places would be divided among the Sanfang clan members who were attached to Rong Mansion.
This time, it made Jia Mu very uncomfortable!
In particular, it became even more depressing when the Sanfang tribe members who were attached to Rongfu came to visit one by one and tried their best to send their daughters of school age to the Ningfu Girls' School.
Naturally, Jia Mu was not happy. She was not really a stickler. How could she not know the benefits of Ningfu Girls' School?
Not to mention that the female teachers in the female school are all well-known, and have good relationships with the wives of many powerful people in the capital, and can help the female students broaden their personal connections.
The few nuns invited by Qin Keqing to leave the palace, not to mention their own abilities and knowledge, just their possible connections in the palace, were not something Jia Mu was willing to give up.
In addition, Baoyu made trouble in the girls' school, which offended Qin Keqing, who had always been close to him, quite a bit. It was really not worth the loss.
As for Jia Rong, there is no sign of taking the initiative to surrender.
He even bluntly stated to the second child that the children of Rongfu were really difficult to discipline and that they would no longer go to the Clan Academy to report. The Rongfu should hire someone to teach them themselves.
This word reached Jia Mu's ears, making it even harder for her to continue to be tough.
Even the second child, who has always been the most obedient, also criticized her behavior against female students. If the stalemate continues again and Jia Rong really doesn't care about people's feelings, then Jia's mother will be in an embarrassing situation.
If nothing else, Jia Zhu and Li Wan would definitely be dissatisfied.
Then both the eldest and the second eldest brother will have knots in their hearts.
If the children of the Rong Mansion want to rely on the power of the clan, it is probably impossible.
In the end, Jia Mu ended this embarrassing incident by letting it go.
But right now, the boy who asked to go to Ning Mansion, Jia Rong, felt unspeakably depressed and awkward.
But there is no way, the interests of the coal mines in Shanxi Province are too amazing.
Even Jia Mu, who is well-informed and has experienced many turmoils, cannot give up easily. It can be said that she is the foundation of the family's prosperity for hundreds of years. No matter how selfish she is, she would not dare to mess around in such a matter...
