Chapter 936 Baoyu: I am happy here and don’t miss Shu.
Recently, Rongfu has suddenly become crowded with people.
Waves of familiar and unfamiliar officials came to fawn over me.
Including the old lady, they were all confused at first. They didn't know what happened, so that the Rong Mansion became so hot?
When they realized what was going on, their spirits suddenly rose, as if Rongfu had returned to its peak.
Mrs. Wang, in particular, has so many ideas and is so proud of herself.
There was no way around it. Things in the Jinmen Salt Farm were quickly fermenting. Those who wanted to get a share of the benefits would naturally try their best to establish a relationship with Wang Ziteng or Shi Ding.
Shi Jia Shuang Hou was very cautious and came directly to thank the guests behind closed doors, not giving the bustling world guests outside a chance to come to the door to establish relations.
Anyway, before this, Shi Jia Shuanghou had already earned tens of thousands of taels of silver by selling sea salt privately, which was enough.
The disadvantages of being greedy and insufficient are still clear to the Shuanghou of the Shi family.
As for the Wang family, the head of the family, Wang Ziteng, is in Jinmen, and the only dandy boy left in the family is Wang Zisheng. It’s not like no one comes to visit to build relationships and friendship. It’s a pity that Wang Zisheng is not a plaything, and he doesn’t do anything after getting benefits.
In other words, Wang Zisheng's weight was really not enough, and Wang Ziteng simply didn't care what his brother said, which naturally disappointed some beings.
Fortunately, there is still a channel like Rongfu that can be used.
The relationship between the Jia family and the Wang family is unusual, and the relationship with the Shi family is also very special.
As long as they can open up the door to Rongfu, Wang Ziteng and Shi Ding on the other side of Jinmen will give them more or less face.
Ever since, there was a scene where Rong Mansion suddenly became crowded.
The old lady could still maintain her composure, but Mrs. Wang became a little carried away under the compliments of many Madame Gaoming.
She did not write to Wang Ziteng immediately and ask him to do this or that. Instead, she invited Aunt Xue to visit her every day. The two sisters talked happily about happy things.
Aunt Xue was very happy to take advantage of it. She also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by many officials and wives in the center and being praised.
Fortunately, she kept in mind her daughter Xue Baochai's advice and just followed the fun without saying any truth or promises.
Anyway, they are looking for their aunt, Mrs. Wang, and they are not interested in the Xue family at all.
Privately, Mrs. Wang wrote to Wang Ziteng in Jinmen, asking how to deal with these unsolicited visits.
If she followed her habit, she would definitely swallow the benefits first, and whether she could do things well for others would not be considered at all.
So what if things didn't get done, the other party asked Wang Ziteng anyway!
However, among the beings who took the initiative to come to the door, there were actually a few with great energy, forces that even Mrs. Wang was quite afraid of.
Ordinarily, with the power of these families, there is no need to ask Mrs. Wang if they want to gain access to sea salt.
But when something like this happened, Mrs. Wang was unsure and naturally did not dare to make a decision easily.
The situation in the second bedroom is very different from that in The Story of the Red Mansion.
The eldest son Jia Zhu is still alive and well, and his career in officialdom is smooth.
Although the second son Jia Baoyu failed to live up to expectations, Mrs. Wang did not put all her thoughts on him.
At this time, Mrs. Wang has many more things to consider and worry about than in The Story of the Red Chamber, so she will naturally not act too unscrupulously.
In the story of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu has not yet started his official career, so even if something unexpected happens, the old lady and Mr. Zheng will take care of it, so Mrs. Wang naturally acts without any scruples.
But now, if Mrs. Wang goes too far, others can directly target Jia Zhu, which is not a situation Mrs. Wang wants to see.
She also knew that some things were hot to hold.
Of course, Mrs. Wang still got a lot of benefits this time. Anyway, she received a lot of money and gifts, so she was naturally in a good mood.
Especially, when Wang Ziteng wrote back, she became even bolder in collecting money.
Shi Ding gave full power over the sale of Haiyan to Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng naturally had to perform well and at least not mess up the matter.
It just so happens that a lot of forces are needed to help carve up the share of sea salt inland.
Those who take the initiative to visit us, as long as they have connections inland, can basically get a share of Haiyan's sales.
Mrs. Wang naturally made a lot of money in this process.
Otherwise, Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng are brothers and sisters, and they are one family.
With Mrs. Wang's greedy temperament, she was even willing to give 60 to 70% of the benefits she gained to Wang Ziteng.
I don’t know if it just suddenly dawned on me, or if it’s just been this routine in the past?
In short, the Rong Mansion suddenly became lively this time, and Mrs. Wang did not have much communication with her husband, Mr. Zheng. It seemed that such good things had nothing to do with Mr. Zheng.
How can it be?
But even if outsiders know the temperament of Mr. Zheng, they usually won't come to see him.
With how well-informed Mr. Zheng was at this time, how could he not know that Wang Ziteng and Shi Ding on the other side of Jinmen were in the whirlpool.
It's just that Mr. Zheng's reaction is very slow. As long as trouble doesn't happen to him and there is no impeachment incident in the court, he won't care too much at all.
Of course, if Wang Ziteng took the initiative to contact him, Mr. Zheng would not be stingy in his support, but it was a pity that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Even if the several civil servants with whom I usually have good friends are jealous, they do not have the strength to participate in the Jinmen matter, so naturally they will not seek help from the second political master.
As for those who took the initiative to visit Mr. Zheng, there were very few of them.
In short, despite the fact that the Rong Mansion has suddenly become crowded, it has almost nothing to do with the second master Zheng.
I don’t know if he knew it, or if he didn’t notice it at all?
To be honest, Jia Baoyu has become very busy recently, either at the invitation of this noble prince or attending the banquet of that noble prince.
If he hadn't been concerned about his status as a student, he might have some dandy boys who would have invited him to the famous brothel Chuguan in the capital.
In other words, Jia Baoyu actually has some expectations and longings for the famous entertainment venues in the capital, but he has never had the opportunity to go there and see them.
In the story of the Red Mansion, Xue Pan, the fool, should often invite Jia Baoyu to eat and play outside. However, now that Xue Pan is busy with Uncle Xue, there will naturally be no ethnic studies students taking the initiative to invite him out for fun.
Recently, many non-ethnic studies students have taken the initiative to make friends with him, which makes Jia Baoyu very happy.
After being invited to play in the Chu Pavilion of a brothel, he saw the various girls here with their own characteristics, and he was instantly addicted to it.
If it weren't for my studies and the control of my family, I would have long been happy and tired of studying...
