"Master, I always feel that it is very inappropriate for the old lady to act like this!"
It was late and cold in the night. Mr. Pardon and Lian Er were sitting in the study room of the east courtyard. The father and son had just returned from Rongqing Hall.
Lian Er is no longer the person in the Red Mansions story who only has money in his eyes and even dares to get benefits from the frying pan.
I saw the intensity of the court battles in the household department, and my mentality towards things had already changed.
The old lady's behavior at night seemed to him quite inappropriate.
It's just that he is a junior, so he doesn't speak very well, and he doesn't want to offend others, so he doesn't say much.
"So what if it's inappropriate?"
Master Pardon said calmly: "Can you boy object to the old lady's decision?"
"I'm afraid that doing this will offend Brother Rong from Dongfu!"
Lian Er worriedly said: "After all, Yuanchun entering the harem is no small matter!"
"I can't tell you, in Brother Rong's eyes, this is just a trivial matter!"
Mr. Pardon didn't take it seriously and sneered: "You kid, don't forget the identity of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law!"
Before he no longer despaired of the future and was completely intoxicated, Master Pardon's understanding of the royal family could be said to be the best in Rongfu.
"Maybe Brother Rong's daughter-in-law has already gotten the news!"
She shook her head and said disdainfully: "Since the old lady thinks there is no need to remind Brother Rong, then she won't do it!"
"That……"
Lian Eryi was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say.
How does he feel that he is the emperor and not the eunuch?
"Just as you usually are, so will you be in the future!"
Mr. Pardon gave advice: "There will be no problem if you keep in touch with Brother Rong!"
"Based on my observation, Brother Rong has a very big heart. How can the small Ning Rong Mansion be able to accommodate him?"
"If you encounter anything in Tongzhou in the future, you'd better discuss it with Brother Rong first. It's better to rely on the government if you can!"
Seeing Lian Er's puzzled face, he said angrily: "Don't you know what's going on in the house?"
"If the old lady takes the opportunity to ask you to do something, will you do it or not?"
"Also, don't you know how rampant the family in the mansion is at having children?"
"If you rely on the government for everything, will the children of these families use the banner of the old lady and the Wang family to do whatever they want in your administration?"
Lian Er felt sweat dripping from his forehead as he had never thought about this before.
"Where's Brother Rong?"
Since there are a lot of messes in the Rong Mansion, doesn't it mean that there are no problems in the Ning Mansion?
"I don't know how much wealth Brother Rong has in his hands!"
Mr. Pardon said rudely: "But I know that unless it is the interests of the canal, there are no interests in Tongzhou worthy of Brother Rong's attention?"
Lian Er suddenly understood!
It's not that he couldn't think of this, but it's just that caring about it would lead to chaos.
"Also, after your son arrives in Tongzhou, he must not only be a good official, but also work hard with your wife to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible!"
Master Pardon saw it clearly and said directly: "You kid, don't take it lightly, this is a big deal!"
"Don't think you are still young. You are really twenty-five years old and you still don't have a son and a half. See if there is anyone coveting my title inheritance!"
Lian Er opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face.
At the same time, his heart trembled, and a stern look flashed deep in his eyes.
He did not doubt Mr. Pardon's speculation that Mrs. Wang, the second wife, really had such thoughts and ideas.
Especially when Baoyu's performance in reading was quite unbearable.
As parents, we always want to pave the future for our children.
If Baoyu can inherit the title of Rongfu, he will naturally not have to worry about it in the future.
"Your wife is a fool. She was easily manipulated by the second brother's family. She is also foolish enough to think that her own aunt is doing her best!"
"In Tongzhou, don't let her have anything to do with the government. Take good care of your body and give birth to a boy and a half girl."
"Believe it or not, if you ignore her, your daughter-in-law will be able to control her remotely even if she is in Tongzhou!"
"The current situation in Rong Mansion is very good. What Dafang lacks is his grandson to stabilize people's hearts. Don't be a fool!"
The words were quite straightforward and the meaning was very clear.
When Lian Er left the study, his head was a little dizzy.
He really didn't expect that Mr. Pardon, who seemed to be neglecting his duties all day long, who was hiding in the east courtyard, playing with his beautiful maids and concubines, would be so awake.
I can see the situation in Rongfu quite clearly.
As for the matter of Yuanchun, which the old lady attaches great importance to, it is not worth mentioning in the opinion of the elder.
Thinking about it, if Yuanchun didn't have strong enough support outside the palace, her life in the palace would definitely not be easy.
Lian Er is very clear about the situation in Rong Mansion.
It seems that the momentum is not small, but in fact the energy is limited.
If it had not been gaining momentum recently, it would have fallen out of the first-class circle of nobles in the capital and become a second-rate force.
There is no doubt that the so-called top forces and first-class forces compete for their own energy and influence on the officialdom.
Needless to say, one's own energy. Official influence is actually the right to speak in the officialdom and the size of the official position that can be controlled.
The Rong Mansion was in severe decline before, and was no longer qualified to compete for positions as officials of third rank or above, so it naturally fell from the top and first-class circles of influence.
Of course, the old lady's qualifications and face are still very important. If she can push forward regardless of face, and promote a third-grade or even second-grade powerful person, it won't be a problem.
The most critical point is that the other duke families, who are also the Eighth Dukes of the founding of the People's Republic of China, basically no longer have any contact with the Rong Mansion. At most, they only interact with each other on a normal basis.
Looking back at the Ning Mansion, it seems that the only official in the officialdom is Jia Qiang, who works for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But he couldn't stand it. Jia Rong had so many golden ideas that he easily amassed a large sum of money and even made a lot of money with the Xungui Group.
Lian Er knew that at this time, Jia Rong's words had considerable weight in Xungui's inner circle.
For this reason, Ningfu is a member of the first-class circle of powerful people in the capital, and he is also a member with quite good potential.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved.
Why did Yuanchun suddenly gain the favor of today and become a member of the harem from a female official next to the queen?
Could it be that you are now attracted to the power of the Jia family in the capital?
It’s really possible!
Lian Er found it a bit funny and wanted to ask the old lady, who was very excited at this time, how to deal with it if she really wanted to take advantage of the power of the Jia family in the capital.
You know, Jia Rong, the clan leader, is quite capable, and almost all the power in the clan is under his control. Even the three-fang clan members who had clearly expressed their support for Elong Mansion before were all obedient and obedient. There will be a good show in the future...
