It’s not just ordinary listeners who feel fearful!
The senior officials of Caobang, who originally wanted to cause "enormous" trouble, were now frightened. The sudden heavy pressure prevented them from making any rash moves.
At this time, they had already found out clearly that "Passing Mountains and Seas" was the vest of the second-class general Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion.
And Jia Rong is also the head of the four major families in Jinling!
The relationship between the four major families in Jinling and the Cao Gang has been quite complicated recently.
At the beginning, there were naturally conflicts and conflicts, and some senior officials of the Cao Gang even planned to give them a heavy blow to let the four major families of Jinling know how powerful they were.
Unfortunately, he was completely frightened by a sudden powerful arrow.
Later, the four major families in Jinling and the Cao Gang jointly sold sea salt, which suddenly entered the honeymoon period, as if the previous conflicts did not exist.
How can it be?
Not to mention the displeasure of being slapped in the face, just the fact that Jinmen and Tongzhou are divided into two departments does not mean that we can give up.
As an important node and terminus of the Northern Canal, it involves considerable interests, and Caobang has no intention of giving up casually.
However, I just have to wait until the time is right before taking action.
I just didn't expect that Jia Rong would strike first.
He actually wrote a novel in the style of a vest, and then put Caobang in danger.
Especially the last plot, which is simply running towards the fate of the Caobang. Wouldn't it be dangerous if the court or the current emperor heard about it?
All we can say is that the powerful people in the capital are really vicious!
At this time, the top management of Caobang no longer cares about causing trouble for Jia Rong. Their most important task is to eliminate possible risks.
In particular, the influence of the novel "The Grand Canal" must be quickly compressed into a relatively safe area, otherwise blessings and disasters will be unpredictable.
But they didn't know that they were the audience for the novel written by "Awesome". Ever since they heard "The fortune of millions of Cao workers is tied to it", they had a strong fear and suspicion of the Caobang.
The royal spies sent out have collected the information they want to know.
However, after reading the detailed information, his face became very ugly, and he was obviously shocked by the content inside.
When the novel reflects reality, even with today's determination, I can't help but feel shocked, and I keep mumbling to myself: 'The fortune of millions of Cao Gong depends on it!'
Dai Quan stood aside quietly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
With his understanding of the present, he knew that he would definitely take action against Caobang.
I estimate that the method should be the two tricks used by Pig's Foot at the end of "The Grand Canal". Although the effect is good, the backlash is minimal.
Caobang will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it will be only a matter of time before it is divided into small hills that do not belong to each other.
What he is thinking about now is how to place a few of his own people to work in the towns along the Grand Canal, and take advantage of the Cao Gang to take advantage of the chaos.
As soon as I think about the fact that he, the powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, may not be able to make money as fast as a sub-rudder in Caobang, I feel unhappy.
After all, a person who can be popular for a long time in today's world cannot be confused, let alone be dazzled by money.
What kind of money can be collected and what kind of money cannot be collected? Some money should be known to the present, and some should not be so. You must have a clear heart, otherwise you will not know what happened if you are rejected by the present.
Of course, I have to admire Jia Rong's methods.
Obviously he wanted to target Caobang, but he used the method of writing novels to attract the attention and attention of today, and then used the hands of today to deal with Caobang.
It doesn't matter if Jin is unhappy. Anyway, it's not Jia Rong's initiative. It's up to Jin to decide whether to do something or not.
If something really happens, no matter whether it's the present or the Caobang, they won't be able to easily trouble him.
Gee, this method is really powerful!
Little did Jia Rong know that Dai Quan, who was in the palace, was thinking about himself right now.
At this time, he was teasing his little boy who was less than one year old at home.
After all, he is a descendant of his own blood, so he cannot let his wet nurse raise the child. There will be endless troubles if he encounters a person with a bad character.
As for the mainstream method of raising children among the powerful families in Daqian Capital, he didn't bother to comment. Yingchun was the best negative example.
Fortunately, stepmother Youshi never interfered with the affairs of the courtyard where Jia Rong and Qin Keqing lived, so she was very peaceful.
Grandma Zhao is also quite open-minded. Although she disagrees with Jia Rong's way of raising children, she has no intention of talking too much.
It's a pity that the child is too young, otherwise Jia Rong would really want to build him an amusement park powered by a water conservancy mechanism.
Qin Keqing was naturally in a good mood when she saw how much he cared about his children.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. Just like the two elders from the neighboring government, she felt that Jia Rong, the father, was too kind to his children.
Every time Phoenix Egg sees Mr. Zheng Er, he is like a mouse meeting a cat. He is afraid and alienated. How can there be any affection between father and son?
Jia Zhu's situation is slightly better, and her relationship with Master Zheng is very respectful and respectful.
Mr. Zheng Er often acts like a strict father, but his children are very cautious. How can they get along well with each other?
Mr. Pardon is not an economical person either. When he saw Lian Er quarreling and quarreling at every turn, it was no wonder that Lian Er initially favored his second wife.
If I hadn't experienced some things and had Jia Rong's advice to wake me up in time, I'm afraid my current relationship with Mr. Pardon would still be alienated and cold.
However, everyone in Xifu still thinks that this kind of relationship between father and son is normal.
It seems that the relationship between father and son in other noble families is also like this.
It can only be said that the influence of Confucianism at this time is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Damn it, every noble family seems to be practicing Confucianism and putting the king, the minister, the father, the son, into practice in their own family.
When Jia Rong reacted, he felt funny. It was obvious that the noble bosses were desperately trying to get the best expression of what they were lacking.
On the contrary, in those so-called scholarly families and noble families, the relationship between father and son is not stiff at all, and can even be said to be quite harmonious.
As for the ups and downs outside, the turmoil caused by the novel written by Ma Jia was not taken to heart at all.
What he didn't expect was that not long after the novel "The Grand Canal" ended, a big change occurred in Caobang.
The leader of the Cao Gang was suddenly assassinated and seriously injured and was about to die. The entire top management of the Cao Gang was immediately thrown into chaos and the fight for power and profit broke out.
When he first heard the news, he was a little surprised. He felt that this was probably done today, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
After meeting and chatting with Dai Quan, I realized that the incident had nothing to do with the current situation and was entirely caused by the Cao Gang leader's bad luck.
This guy's experience can be described as a knife on the head.
The dignified leader of the Cao Gang actually chased a famous prostitute from a brothel, with only a few guards around him. As a result, his enemies caught him and severely wounded him.
As for whether there were other joints inside, Jia Rong didn't bother to care.
But he knows one thing, it will not be easy at all for Caobang to pass smoothly this time.
From Dai Quan's words, he knew that he wanted to take action now, and he admired Ma Jia's "overwhelming" suggestions in the novel.
As long as the opportunity is right, it is inevitable that the Cao Gang will become a loose gang alliance.
Jia Rong feels that she is really lucky.
After something like this happened to the Caobang, he probably wasn't in the mood to care about himself, at least until the internal problems were completely sorted out, so he could relax a little more vigilance.
Not only did Jia Rong think so, Xue Baochai, who had been paying close attention to the development of the situation nervously, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Ningfu Jia Rong is the head of the four major families in Jinling. After causing trouble, he can sit on the Diaoyutai without worrying much about possible backlash.
But the Xue family couldn't do it. They didn't have such confidence and strength. They had to charge forward and show off, and they lost a lot of money and interests.
Although Uncle Xue felt that doing so was worth it, and Xue Baochai also agreed with Uncle Xue's idea, he was still very heartbroken.
You must know that the shops destroyed by the Cao Gang were all prosperous shops in the prime areas of the towns along the canal. The losses caused by being closed for one day were considerable.
But she couldn't do anything, she could only wait and see how the situation developed, completely unable to control herself.
Xue Baochai once again felt the importance of strength, and her ambition to become a successful person became stronger. She did not want the Xue family's position to remain so low.
When I reported the good news to Aunt Xue, my statement changed again: "Mom, the top management of the Cao Gang is in trouble at this time. My brother and second uncle will be much safer when they go boating!"
In fact, Uncle Xue and Xue Pan were running Gangchuan, which was affiliated with the Caoyun Yamen. The Cao Gang would only take Gangchuan's idea if their brains were in trouble. If they were not careful, they would be labeled as rebels. Which Cao Gang leader could bear it?
rise?
In order to add chips to his future, Xue Baochai put a lot of effort into planning the Jinmen Port.
There is nothing we can do about this!
She was very envious of Sanchun, who could follow the two female school principals Qin Keqing and Jia Min from time to time, attend gatherings organized by Mrs. Xungui, and make friends with ladies from the Xungui family as handkerchiefs.
By the way, I will appear in front of all distinguished ladies from time to time to give them the most authentic and good impression.
If a noble lady's family happens to have suitable children, she will naturally not mind getting married to Ning Rong's second family.
Xue Baochai felt envious every time she heard Sanchun accidentally talk about this matter.
She wanted to attend such a gathering with the two mountain chiefs, but unfortunately the two mountain chiefs did not give them the chance and only took their direct relatives like Sanchun and Lin Daiyu with them.
Xue Baochai has his own arrogance, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to find the two mountain chiefs and invite them to take him with them when they attend the party.
She knew, however, that some noble ladies attached great importance to their origins and the reputation of their families, and did not look down on the Xue family. She did not want to take the initiative to go there and bring trouble to herself.
She had never told her mother, Aunt Xue, about this, just because she was afraid that her mother would be too worried and hurt her face.
To blame, I can only blame my aunt, Mrs. Wang, for being too homely.
Knowing that Xue Baochai would stay in the Rong Mansion all day long and not go out at all, and would not participate in the gatherings of the noble ladies' circle in the capital, Xue Baochai naturally had no chance to go out with him.
To be honest, Mrs. Wang's behavior is simply a sign of ostracizing herself from the circle of distinguished ladies in the capital.
According to the information Xue Baochai learned, Mrs. Wang acted like this, making it difficult for the outside world to believe that she was the wife of the head of the Rong Mansion, and she acted too selfishly.
Yes, Mrs. Wang's biological daughter Yuanchun entered the palace early and became a concubine in the palace, so she didn't need to bother taking her out to socialize.
There are other beauties in Kerong Mansion who have not left the palace and are dependent on the clan members of Rong Mansion. It is not that they do not have daughters of the right age.
As the head wife of the Rong Mansion, she has the obligation and responsibility to take some of the women in the house and the clan who have not left the palace to participate in the social circles of the noble ladies.
Of course, a close niece like Baochai can also go along.
Otherwise, how could other noble ladies know the spoiled guest kept in the boudoir of the Rong Mansion?
Without meeting many times and getting to know each other in depth, which noble family would you expect to marry?
This is also the main reason why the outside world and the circle of distinguished ladies do not think highly of Mrs. Wang. In short, her behavior of staying at home is really inappropriate.
To put it bluntly, I don’t often attend such gatherings, and I have seen and known the unmarried family members of other families. How can I choose a suitable wife for Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu?
Mrs. Wang doesn't really think that Phoenix Egg has a chance to become a prince-in-law or a prince's horse, right?
Anyway, if Xue Baochai is asked to marry Phoenix Dan, she will definitely not be happy at this time. It is better to marry a new poor Jinshi, at least she still has enough ambition.
In fact, Xue Baochai was vaguely aware of the real reason why his aunt Mrs. Wang always lived in Rong Mansion, and found it a bit incomprehensible.
Indeed, because my uncle's official position is not high, my aunt Mrs. Wang's imperial edict is also not high, and it is only a fourth-grade imperial edict until now.
When gathering with those who have super-grade and first-, second- and third-grade titles, they always feel like they are inferior to others. In addition, some noble families have character flaws, and it is indeed possible for their face to be hurt during the gathering.
Once the number of times increased, and in addition to the fact that she was the head wife of the Rong Mansion, there was a big gap between the two, so naturally she was not very willing to go out.
But in Xue Baochai's view, this was nothing at all.
If you make more friends with Mrs. Xungui, you can not only find out a lot of secret information, but you can even help your uncle get promoted at critical moments, making Cousin Zhu's life easier.
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang has no such thoughts and ideas at all, and Xue Baochai can only do nothing.
At the moment, I can only try my best to show my abilities so that the big bosses of the four major Jinling families will understand, and at least help the family develop better and more stably.
In addition, he also invites female students to his home from time to time, and personally hosts private gatherings among female students to deepen their friendship with each other.
There was only so much she could do. Fortunately, Ningfu Girls' School was indeed a good place to study and make friends, so Xue Baochai naturally had to take advantage of it.
At this time, the second uncle who was away running a boat suddenly wrote back and told him an amazing event...
