Chapter 945 The Grand Master Amnesty Also Has a Temperament
Chapter 945 Mr. Pardon also has a temper
The troubles Lian Er encountered came from Mr. Pardon.
The matter is actually relatively simple to say, that is, Master Pardon is going to hold a full moon banquet for his eldest grandson in Rong Mansion.
But Lian Er didn't want to agree. The child was really too young and looked very weak. An accident would easily occur if he returned to Beijing.
The Pardon Master was resolute and made it very clear: this is his eldest grandson and the direct heir of the great family, and the full moon must be held in Rong Mansion.
If he were his direct grandson, he would just follow Lian Er's wishes.
Lian Er understood in his heart that it made sense for his father to act in this way.
If the majestic grandson of the eldest son of the Rong Mansion cannot do anything in the Rong Mansion during the full moon, who knows what kind of ugly rumors will appear in the mansion?
This kind of thing will definitely happen once his son's full moon banquet is not held in Rongfu.
Even without the testimony of a group of relatives and friends, some things are really difficult to say, and the government can even reduce the resources that his son may obtain in the future.
In addition, there is the issue of title succession.
After all, Lian Er had been in the officialdom for many years, and he vaguely sensed some of the situation, but he just kept it in his heart and did not say it out loud.
The second eldest son, or even the old lady, may have ideas about the title of the first eldest son.
Especially Jia Baoyu's performance in ethnic studies may have made the second wife and the old lady have other thoughts.
Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second wife, has already become famous. As long as he continues to work step by step, not only he will definitely become a member of the third rank, but at least he will not have a problem reaching the fourth rank before he becomes old and becomes an official.
But Jia Baoyu is a standard wealthy and idle person.
It would be nice if you could be a princess or princess, you would naturally have a title on your body, and your status would be extraordinary.
But if you don't have a relationship with the royal family and want to live a smooth life in the future, you'd better have a title, which can at least bluff people.
The title of Rongfu is now a first-class general, which can last for at least two more generations. After reaching the fifth rank of captain, there will be no title.
If Jia Baoyu can replace Lian Er and inherit the title, at least Mrs. Wang and the old lady will not object, and may even secretly add fuel to the flames.
Lian Erdu was vaguely aware of it. How could Master Pardon, who had experienced the deposed crown prince, not be aware of it at all?
The best way to dispel some people's unrealistic ideas is to reveal Lian Er's eldest son in front of others.
As long as Lian Er has a legal heir and can grow up smoothly, it is simply a delusion for the second brother to seize the title.
Although Master Pardon did not explain these directly, his tone still contained a lot of relevant information.
Of course he felt sorry for his eldest grandson, but when it came to the succession of the title of his eldest son, he could not tolerate any mistakes.
If the eldest son of Lian Er cannot hold a full-moon banquet in Rong Mansion, who knows if some people will be so crazy as to do something to a little baby?
Anyway, outsiders don’t know it very well, but it’s normal for a baby to die young due to being born weak and in poor health.
Lian Er naturally understood what his biological father meant, but the problem was that his eldest son looked really not that healthy.
Unlike his idea, Wang Xifeng supported the pardon master's decision.
However, she planned to return to the capital with him.
After all, it is the flesh that fell from her body, and it would be nonsense to say that she does not love and cherish it.
Without waiting for Lian Er's reaction, Jia Rong was the first to refuse.
Across the screen, he simply asked Wang Xifeng a few questions and easily gave up his unrealistic ideas.
The first question: Wang Xifeng is in confinement, and it is quite dangerous to give birth. Can her body and bones withstand the torment of traveling far away?
The second question: Is it safer for a child to be placed in the hands of a nanny, or is it more cherished if it is placed in the hands of a biological grandfather?
The third question: Is Wang Xifeng worried about Lian Er staying alone in Tongzhou?
Just kidding, although Wang Xifeng has a strong temper, she won't joke about her own life. I really think her body is made of iron.
The reason why he wanted to return to Rongfu in the capital was not only because he was really worried about his children, but also because of the instigation of his second wife, Mrs. Wang.
Haha, do you really think Jia Rong doesn’t know?
Mrs. Wang, the head of the family, has been complaining a lot in the past year, and her energy and spirit have become quite depressed, all due to the internal affairs of the Rong Mansion.
There is one thing that will definitely make people laugh out loud, and by the way, they will call it a "wasteful bitch".
When the situation in Rongfu was good and its momentum was growing, the government's fiscal revenue last year was actually negative.
It is simply a big joke. When a power like Rongfu is gaining momentum, there is still a fiscal deficit?
Not to mention anything else, the gifts from the officials and merchants below are not a small amount.
Not to mention, there are other hidden incomes, the amount is definitely not a small number, which can thicken the savings of the Rongfu public treasury.
It's a pity that under such a good situation, the public accounts of the government run by Mrs. Wang turned out to be in deficit, which is simply bizarre.
Either Mrs. Wang has swallowed a lot of money secretly, or Mrs. Wang's housekeeper is not capable enough and cannot control the situation.
In fact, as far as Jia Rong knows, there are two factors.
Under such circumstances, it was quite difficult for Mrs. Wang to manage, and it was even more impossible for Mrs. Wang to use her own wealth to supplement the public income.
And Wang Xifeng is naturally the best person to take the blame.
Privately, Mrs. Wang often wrote to Wang Xifeng, urging her to return to Beijing as soon as possible to take charge of the overall internal affairs of the palace. She was too old to support it.
With Wang Xifeng's temperament, there was no way he could withstand Mrs. Wang's flattery. Coupled with his thoughts on the power of the Rong Mansion's internal affairs, he was already ready to take action.
Wang Xifeng firmly held Lian Er's private property in Tongzhou and refused to let it go easily even when she was pregnant. How could she have no idea about the power of the Rong family?
If there were no problems during her delivery, even during her confinement period, in order to satisfy her inner ambitions, she would grit her teeth and insist on returning to Beijing to take control of the government.
But now, life still matters.
As for who pays more attention to the baby, the wet nurse or the biological grandfather, isn’t that nonsense?
No matter how careful the nanny is, it is not her own child and there will always be some oversight.
Master Pardon treats his eldest grandson like a treasure, probably as much as offering sacrifices to his ancestors.
If Wang Xifeng didn't particularly care about the first two points, then she would never let Lian Er take office in Tongzhou alone.
Just kidding, with Lian Er's temperament, as long as Wang Xifeng relaxed his supervision and discipline a little, he would probably have several concubines and even concubine children within a few days.
As soon as she thought of such a possibility, Wang Xifeng felt depressed and would never allow Lian Er to have the opportunity to cheat.
As for the inheritance of the title that Lian Er and Mr. She were worried about, Wang Xifeng did not take it into consideration.
Originally, Lian Er didn't intend to remind him. Who knows what Wang Xifeng's reaction will be?
However, Jia Rong felt that she should take the initiative to mention it so that Wang Xifeng would be aware of it.
If nothing else, at least let her know the true thoughts of Master Pardon. There is a reason why he is determined to let his eldest grandson hold a full moon banquet in Rong Mansion.
Jia Rong didn't know whether Lian Er reminded Wang Xifeng.
It's just that when he returned to the capital, he was with Mr. Pardon and Brother Zhuo, who was just born and was not yet one month old.
He did not make any guarantees to Lian Er, but with his personal escort, the little baby arrived in the capital from Tongzhou without any accidents.
In fact, because he helped regulate Qi and blood, Brother Zhuo's body and complexion improved a lot.
After sending the person safely to Rongfu, he said goodbye and left.
As a result, that day, Jia Rong heard rumors from the Xifu that Lian Er's eldest son, Brother Zhuo, was not in good health and he didn't know if he would be able to grow up smoothly.
Damn it!
Jia Rong didn't react at all, but Qin Keqing, who had always been mild-tempered, threw the cup and angrily said that Xifu had gone too far.
Obviously, Qin Keqing, who had just become a mother, was very sensitive to children's matters and could not stand the nonsense coming from the West Mansion.
Then, upon hearing the news that Mr. Pardon was furious, the Rong Mansion immediately sent many maids and women to Zhuangzi.
According to what Mr. Pardon later said, if he didn't want his precious eldest grandson to be exposed to the bloody shock, he would probably kill a group of ignorant sons and daughters.
After all, she is a traitor to the Rong Mansion. If the Grand Master is really angry, the old lady will not intercede for a bunch of gossips to give birth to a child, so as not to really chill the Grand Master.
Despite the fact that the old lady has always been kind to others and would not easily punish the servants in the house, it does not mean that she does not have thunderous methods.
Master Pardon's behavior definitely belongs to the filial category. The old lady was able to completely control the authority of the Rong Mansion, which was the result of Master Pardon's cooperation.
If he doesn't cooperate, the old lady can't do anything with him. She can't just kill him quietly, right?
Besides, it concerns the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the pardoned master, and the old lady doesn't dare to touch it easily. The children of those gossips can only be said to be unlucky.
Jia Rong rushed to Rong Mansion as soon as possible, first checked Zhuo's condition, and then directly stood up for Dafang.
Just as Qin Keqing said, it is really not a good thing for Rong Mansion to spread rumors against a little baby.
The news will definitely spread. Rong Mansion is a big sieve, and the entire Jia family in the capital will become famous.
"Old lady, the family in the mansion is making a big fuss. Don't handle it lightly when it's time to straighten it out. Otherwise, will you pay it back in the future?"
When visiting the old lady in Rongqing Hall, Jia Rong also made it clear: "If we come here a few more times, will our Jia family still have a reputation?"
"I also know the old lady's concerns. She is worried that the relationship between her children is complicated and excessive punishment will cause them to have a strong backlash!"
"But it won't be a problem if this goes on. People outside who don't know about it still think that the one who makes the decision in our house is a son born in the family!"
The words are enough for this purpose. As for whether the old lady can listen or not, that is the matter of Rong Mansion.
He didn't pay attention to the old lady's ugly face. Some things were actually better discussed.
If the Rongfu family's birth was really causing trouble, and the old lady was unwilling to take ruthless measures to rectify it, he would have to consider the possibility of splitting the clan.
It's not that he is making a fuss. Just look at the situation of Aunt Lai's family and you will know how rampant the Rong family is in having children.
He just sucked the blood of the house, but he still relied on the power and reputation of the house to dominate outside and take advantage of others, and he did no one knows how many evil things he did.
The outside world will not pin all these things on the Lai family, but will record them on the Rong family.
This is just the Lai family, but there are also four major stewards in the Rong Mansion. Who knows what the situation is like in the families behind them?
When Rongfu is not weak, it will be nothing. But when Rongfu is weak, old and new accounts will be settled together. It is no joke.
In the story of Red Mansions, Master Pardon took a fancy to Shi Duozi's ancient fan and asked Lian Er to get it.
Lian Er did not resort to plundering, but Jia Yucun came forward to deal with Shi DaZi. In the end, all the charges fell on Mr. Pardon.
To say that he was unjustly accused is definitely unjust. At least he did not do it himself, nor did he take the initiative to torture people to death, otherwise he would not have taken action against Lian Er.
It can be said that he was neither wronged nor wronged. At least from the perspective of the court's laws and the analysis of simple folk concepts, Mr. Pardon was the 'chief conspirator'.
Analyzing the situation of other dilapidated and powerful families, it turns out that the families have really made a lot of efforts to have children and have servants.
Fortunately, thanks to Jia Rong's silent Qi and blood energy conditioning, Brother Zhuo's body and bones are getting better day by day, and the Rong Mansion also successfully arranged a grand full moon wine.
The anger in Master Pardon's heart has now subsided a little. He is focused on his eldest grandson and has no interest in the messy affairs in the house.
At this time, the benefits of living in the East Compound for a long time were revealed.
With the door connected to the Rong Mansion, the East Courtyard is like a small independent mansion. Mr. Pardon is the master of the mansion. If you don't want to deal with the Rong Mansion, even the old lady will have trouble inviting people.
He was originally an old otaku. He used to be addicted to drinking and sex, but now he is focusing all his attention on his eldest grandson. He can completely ignore the affairs outside and in the Rong Mansion.
Jia Rong wrote to Lian Er and Wang Xifeng in Tongzhou about the pardon master's performance, so that they could feel at ease.
Just as he said to Wang Xifeng, as a biological grandfather, the great pardon master's regard for his eldest grandson is not just talk. He is really as precious as a treasure.
That is to say, Lian Er is not in the mansion, otherwise he would definitely be jealous of his own son after seeing the behavior of Mr. Pardon.
You know, the Amnesty Grand Master had never given him a good look since he was a child. It was not until he came to his senses that the relationship between father and son became better.
Mr. Pardon's behavior made the old lady very shaken, and he often scolded his unfilial son in front of his wife, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and her grandchildren.
In the past, Master Pardon would come to Rongqing Hall from time to time to pay his respects, but now he has not seen anyone for ten days and a half. Even if he sends his confidant maids to greet him, they always appear to be indifferent, which is really annoying.
As a human being, there is nothing I can do about it...
