Chapter 891: Mother Jia: The Lai family is the old lady's confidant!
Chapter 891 Jia Mu: The Lai family are the old woman’s confidants!
Speaking of the Lai family, there was one thing that Jia Rong felt was quite incredible.
Seeing that the Jia family school was flourishing, the Lai family wanted to send Lai Shangrong, who had resigned from his citizenship, to study at the Jia family school.
But according to the rules of ethnic studies, Lai Shangrong is not qualified to enter the formal classes of ethnic studies. At most, he can only go to the senior management class.
The so-called senior management class is a training class that specializes in cultivating managers and even housekeepers. Jia Baoyu's elder follower Li Gui attended such a training class.
But the Lai family refused to agree and insisted on letting Lai Shangrong enter a formal class on the grounds that he had already resigned from the country.
Ethnology is not something that the Lai family can mess with.
It is true that Lai Shangrong got rid of his slave status, but the problem is that except for him, the whole family is a slave of the Rong Mansion, so others don't look down on him at all, okay?
In the formal class of the Jia family, there are children from other honorable families studying. Would you like to ask them if they would like to be in the same class as Lai Shangrong?
Obviously, it is impossible to agree to it.
Even if the Lai family behind Lai Shangrong is extremely wealthy and the noble disciples in the official class are commoners who are not taken seriously, they will not be happy about it.
Just kidding, the world in Daqian is very hierarchical and has clear class barriers, which cannot be easily overcome if you have money.
If it were known to outsiders that the son of a noble nobleman was accompanied by the son of a slave, it would be greatly affected whether he entered school or entered officialdom in the future.
Ordinarily, with the money and power of the Lai family, it is possible for Lai Shangrong to be sent to a good private school, or even a famous academy in the capital.
Why still focus on ethnic studies?
Jia Rong knew very well that it was the Lai family's habit of taking advantage of others, so naturally she wanted to continue taking advantage of the clan school.
Given the status of the Lai family in the Rong Mansion, wouldn't the Rong Mansion help pay for the education required for Lai Shangrong to enter school, as well as all the miscellaneous expenses?
It's a pity that Jia Rong doesn't give him face.
The rules of clan science were established with great difficulty by him and had a certain binding force, but he didn't want to break them just because of a mere Lai Shangrong.
Besides, Lai Shangrong and Jia Baoyu are both spoiled and spoiled, and are not material for studying at all.
Coupled with the words and deeds of my grandmother and parents, I was not a good bird at a young age.
For such a guy, Ethnic Studies will definitely be insensitive. It is better to go to other well-known private schools in the capital. Ethnic Studies does not welcome him.
The clan's attitude was so firm, and Jia Rong's meaning was so clear, the mentality of the Lai family members almost collapsed.
In the Jia family in the capital, the several masters of the Lai family consider themselves to be half-masters whose words carry considerable weight.
Unexpectedly, Lai Shangrong is not even qualified to attend ethnic studies. How can this be unreasonable?
The influence of the Lai family is only effective in the Rong Mansion and cannot be affected by the Ning Mansion. Naturally, don't expect to be able to talk to Jia Rong.
Even though she was waiting at the gate of the clan school, Jia Rong was not in the mood or interest to talk to the members of the Lai family.
What the hell?
It's okay to let the old lady of Rong Mansion spoil you. Anyway, you can't see her at ordinary times. Out of sight is out of mind. Even if there is any filth, it won't affect Ning Mansion.
As for the rest, there really is no so-called intersection at all.
You can't think that the Lai family is qualified to participate in the affairs of the Xungui Group, right?
Even the Rong Mansion has not yet entered the core level of the Xungui Group. Who can take a fancy to the Lai family?
Not to mention other things, not to mention the various training courses held based on ethnic studies, not to mention the active participation of the sons and servants of the Ningfu family, there are also activists in Rongfu.
It's a pity that none of the children of the Lai family took the initiative to participate, as if they were not children of the Rong family.
In fact, the Lai family does not regard themselves as the son of the Rongfu family, but as a half-master. Their behavior and mentality are very unusual.
Seeing that Jia Rong of Ning Mansion didn't give him any face, Aunt Lai took action personally and ran to the old lady to cry.
Then, the old lady specially invited Jia Rong to Rongqing Hall to talk.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but she actually made it clear for the Lai family that they wanted to learn from Lai Shangrong, a student in the official class.
After all, the Lai family is loyal to her and has served her for so many years. It is reasonable and reasonable to give her some convenience.
Jia Rong really didn't understand, so he made it clear: If he accepted Lai Shangrong into a formal school, it would seriously lower the reputation of ethnic studies.
Others don't care what the reason is, they just know that the clan school actually admitted a slave's son into the official class.
The old lady was very unhappy and asked Jia Rong directly what her intentions were. Could it be that her words were of no use at all?
Naturally, Jia Rong would not give in easily and made a direct statement, letting the old lady figure it out.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Jia family was boiling.
Jia Rong's meaning is very simple. Since the old lady insists, he won't be polite.
In order to maintain the reputation of the clan school, the children of the Jia family can only be placed in the same class as Lai Shangrong. Of course, the children of the Shi family are also indispensable.
All of a sudden, not only the Jia clan members were dissatisfied, but even the historians were very angry. What was going on?
Despite the Lai family's usual show of force and power, many Jia family members are also shamelessly flattering and flattering, hoping to gain some benefits.
But if their children were asked to study in the same class as Lai Shangrong, they would absolutely not agree to it. Especially those clan members who had excellent academic performance would react even more violently.
In the future, the children of their family will most likely be admitted to the imperial examination and then enter the officialdom.
If some colleagues knew that when they were studying, they were in the same class as the son of a servant in the family, how would they lose face?
As for the historians, it was a completely unfounded disaster.
Mrs. Baolinghou even came in person to have a good time with the old lady.
Her meaning was also very clear. The old lady had to use slaves to promote those around her, and no one had anything to say.
But it cannot affect the children of the Shi family, which is absolutely unacceptable.
I don’t know what the old lady was thinking about praising the Lai family so highly?
In short, there was a fuss over Lai Shangrong's entry into the clan school for almost half a month, and it finally ended with the Lai family sending Lai Shangrong to study in an academy outside the city.
But because of this incident, not only the tribesmen were very dissatisfied with the old lady, but even the pardon master rarely lost his temper in Rongqing Hall.
He understands the importance of ethnology to the family.
At this time, almost all of the officials employed by Lian Er were from the Jia family school. Lian Er also praised the Jia family school many times in his letters. How could he allow the old lady to act recklessly and lower the reputation of the Jia family school?
As for Mr. Zheng Er, he was also quite dissatisfied. He just didn't have the courage to vent his anger directly to the old lady. He simply didn't go to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects for a month, and expressed his thoughts and intentions very clearly with actions...
