Chapter 991 I will tell anyone who dares to fool me
Chapter 991 I will tell anyone to get out of here who dares to cheat.
Seeing the plausive and shameless housekeeper in front of her, Xue Baochai really opened her eyes.
She is considered a talent if she can speak about taking advantage in such a fresh and refined way, making people feel like they want to give her a heavy blow without even being able to understand their hatred.
Naturally, Tanchun would come forward to deal with such a guy.
Tanchun was sharp-tongued and didn't save any face for the housekeeper. He just sprayed her violently and walked away.
Speaking of which, the establishment of Ningfu Girls' School must have seriously affected Sanchun's life trajectory, which is completely different from the story of the Red Mansion.
Tan Chun is a good example. In The Story of Red Mansions, she has to rely on Mrs. Wang. She is always cautious but still has a straightforward personality. She is a standard activist.
Spending all day wandering around the phoenix egg, apart from my own hobby of calligraphy, it can be said that I seriously lack enough study time to improve myself in other aspects.
Because the marriage was in the hands of Mrs. Wang, in order to avoid irritating Mrs. Wang, she had to alienate herself from her biological mother and biological brother, making her a stranger inside and out.
In the end, I still couldn't escape the fate of being sold, and I probably ended up dying in another country.
The situation of Tanchun at this time was different. He entered Ningfu Girls' School early, so he didn't have to wait in front of Mrs. Wang every day.
Although he has great talent in calligraphy and is willing to work hard, he has good calligraphy skills at a young age, but his knowledge in other aspects is not bad either.
Learning from a genius is learning from a genius. It is not as comprehensive as a master, but as long as you are willing to learn, you can still be quite powerful.
The key is that with the protection of female students, my personality is maintained extremely well.
Because I wanted to avoid Mrs. Wang, I chose to live on campus at a young age. I didn’t have to go to Mrs. Wang’s house every day to ask for help.
He has never been involved in the messy affairs of the Herong Mansion, and rarely gets involved in trivial matters. His straightforward character has the innocence of a girl, which is extremely rare.
Mrs. Wang expressed her dissatisfaction, but to no avail.
The main reason is that her biggest supporter, her brother Wang Ziteng's official career is not very smooth, and he does not have the confidence as in the story of the Red Mansion.
Later, Wang Ziteng wanted to transfer from Wu to Wen, and needed the full support of Jia Rong of the Ning Mansion. Mrs. Wang was warned, and naturally she did not dare to show her teeth at the female students.
Fortunately, the reputation of Rong Mansion is gradually increasing, and Mrs. Wang is living a comfortable life. There is no shortage of flattering people around her, and they all have high-level imperial orders. Naturally, they will not torment Tanchun randomly, lest others look down upon her.
With a good growing environment, Tanchun's growth is quite gratifying.
She studied very hard in the girls' school. Although her talent was not as good as that of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and even Shi Xiangyun was slightly inferior, the speed at which she completed her basic coursework was only more than a year late.
Don't think that the time is very long, in fact it is quite short, which shows the genius of Tanchun.
Because there is no need to delve into the Four Books and Five Classics, the basic courses of women's studies are arranged to be completed in five to seven years.
Basically, after completing the basic courses, female students can graduate.
Whether it is in terms of cultural accomplishment, stewardship, or other miscellaneous studies, they have all reached a certain level.
To say that in terms of internal affairs, it is not an exaggeration to say that the beggar is a weakened version of the hexagonal warrior!
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai basically only took more than two years to complete the basic courses. Of course, they lacked basic practical experience.
Shi Xiangyun took three and a half years, and Tan Chun took four years, which was the fastest among the three springs.
After completing the basic coursework, it is time to in-depth study of various knowledge.
Tanchun's performance is quite good, especially in terms of execution ability, coupled with his straightforward and even somewhat fiery temperament, he is very promising.
If we go by Daqian's mainstream views on women at this time, Tanchun definitely falls into the less popular category.
The teeth are sharp and the mouth cannot be stimulated, or the sand cannot be rubbed in the eyes.
Those so-called scholarly families, as well as wealthy families, pay attention to the mediocre behavior such as if the water is clear, there will be no fish, if the people are careful, there will be no disciples, etc.
But I can't stand it, Jia Rong is optimistic about it.
Let's put it this way, Tanchun at this time will definitely be an enhanced version of Wang Xifeng as long as she is given enough training opportunities.
Likewise, Jia Rong did not do anything deliberately, but it was due to Tanchun's own personality. In addition to calligraphy in the women's school, what she most loved to learn was the art of ink.
In terms of discipline supervision at the women's school, Tanchun is the leader of the students.
No, Xue Baochai also made full use of his talents, allowing Tanchun to be a professional counterpart in dealing with those gossipy and difficult mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in Rong Mansion.
Not only can Tanchun be of great help in this regard, Tanchun can also play a significant role in the supervision team.
His knowledge and his character of not being afraid of offending others make him very suitable for a position like a supervisor.
That is to say, it is inconvenient to show up, otherwise the craftsmen of the Xue family will not have an easy life.
The Xue family is actually facing a similar situation to the Rong family, even more serious.
The number of children born in the Rong Mansion is rampant, and the children born in the Xue family are not peaceful owners. The most important thing is that the shopkeepers who are not children in the family are quite difficult to manage.
Even Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's biological father, the previous head of the Xue family, used his identity as the head of the royal spy to barely control Xue Pan's entire industry.
When Xue Pan became the patriarch, because of his young age and his previous poor performance, the shopkeepers in the shops and various businesses were not very convinced.
If the four major families in Jinling hadn't gained momentum and the Xue family had benefited from it and seemed to be prospering, some shopkeepers would have taken the money from their shops and started a new business.
They have been operating in the same industry for a long time and have no shortage of experience or connections.
As long as the money is in place, they can use the Xue family's nest to lay their own eggs.
The key is that they also have a particularly good relationship with certain members of the Xue family, even to the point of forming an overt or covert alliance of interests.
Even if the head branch of the Xue family wants to pursue the case, some clan members will come out to plead for mercy.
Neither Aunt Xue nor Xue Baochai has the kind of temperament to be cold-faced and have no regard for human feelings. In the end, they could only lift it up high and put it down gently.
Xue Pan is not stingy and doesn't care about these so-called joints, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai won't let him act like this.
Sometimes, Xue Baochai was very envious of Tanchun's forthright temper. He really couldn't help but dare to say that she would never be able to do it.
Of course, there is a price to pay for being straightforward and straightforward.
No, within two days Mrs. Wang sent someone over and asked Tanchun to come over and talk about it.
Fortunately, Tanchun was well prepared. With a book in his hand, he arrived at Mrs. Wang's place and greeted her respectfully.
Mrs. Wang was not polite and pointed at the old woman standing next to her. She was the one who had been sprayed with disgrace by Tan Chun a few days ago. It became clear what was going on.
Tanchun was impatient, so he respectfully handed the brand new book in his hand to Mrs. Wang without waiting for the woman to speak.
"What's this?"
"The remaining materials from the demolition of Lixiangyuan are all recorded in detail?"
"It's all rubbish, why record it?"
"My wife will know it right away!"
Listening to the conversation between mother and daughter, the faces of Zhou Rui's family and the woman who was begging for scraps standing next to her became a little unnatural.
Obviously, the mother-in-law must have had access to Zhou Rui's family, and then she was able to file a lawsuit against Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang probably also intended to beat Tanchun, so she took advantage of the situation.
Not to mention anything else, Tanchun was already in his early thirties at this time, and both his body and face had grown.
As one of the twelve golden hairpins, how could Tanchun not be beautiful?
Her appearance was bright and elegant, with some traces of Aunt Zhao, which made Mrs. Wang feel uncomfortable just looking at her.
At this time, Tanchun's personality was not pleasant. Although his relationship with his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was very cold due to various reasons, he got along well with his biological brother, Jia Huan.
When it reached Mrs. Wang's ears, she naturally became displeased.
After all, Mrs. Wang is the legitimate mother, and the decision-making power for Tanchun's future marriage is in her hands. If Tanchun doesn't know how to restrain himself, he may suffer a lot in the marriage.
According to Mrs. Wang's wishes, after Tan Chun gets married, she will also serve as Baoyu's companion, and she has no intention of letting him go easily.
However, after reading the contents of the book, Mrs. Wang's expression changed and she no longer wanted to cause trouble for Tanchun.
"Are the contents in the book true?"
"Of course it's true, it's the price set by the Xue family store!"
"Okay, okay, what a great skill!"
Mrs. Wang's eyes narrowed, and when she looked at the old woman, there was a faint cold light in her eyes.
What anyone in a superior position hates most is deception and deceit from those below.
In addition, Mrs. Wang has a hobby, that is, she likes to collect cash.
Now, that woman has both, so how can she get a better deal?
Previously, the mother-in-law had sworn that she went to the construction site of the Provincial Family Courtyard to beg for worthless scraps. As a result, Xue Baochai not only refused to give them, but also sent Tanchun to speak harshly to them.
How could the old woman allow outsiders to criticize her, how could she allow others to criticize her? She cried and begged Mrs. Wang to help her get back her place.
This guy also knew how powerful he was, so he evaded the important points and ignored the light ones. He specifically singled out Mrs. Wang and said to her displeasure, why the Provincial Family Courtyard was built by outsiders, for the sake of the Rong Mansion's reputation and so on.
Mrs. Wang really fell for this trick, and with the Zhou Rui family members echoing her, she was naturally unhappy and called Tanchun, wanting to teach her a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Tanchun didn't follow common sense and directly exposed the woman's worst worries.
Mrs. Wang also didn't expect that the scraps that the complaining mother-in-law said were worthless were actually so valuable outside.
Just the intact green bricks and black tiles left behind by the demolition of Lixiang Courtyard is worth hundreds of taels.
Although the money is not much, only two or three houses in Lixiangyuan have just been demolished at this time.
If the entire Lixiangyuan was demolished, wouldn't the intact materials that could be left behind reach thousands of taels or even thousands of taels?
"My wife doesn't know something!"
Tanchun opened his mouth and added a handful of firewood: "When the Lixiang Courtyard was built, it was during the most prosperous period of the mansion. It was also a training yard built for the Duke's grandfather. The materials used were all excellent. How could it be worthless?"
"The green bricks and black tiles are all high-quality products from the official kilns, and the most valuable ones are the beams and other timber!"
"According to Sister Bao, some wood materials cannot be used by anyone other than the royal family. If they are placed outside, they are valuable treasures with no market value!"
"A rough estimate is that just by demolishing a few courtyards, the intact materials left behind can be worth more than 10,000 taels!"
It's better not to say more, lest it arouses Mrs. Wang's greed and forcibly interferes with the construction of the provincial residence.
But even so, Mrs. Wang was shocked.
"Ten thousand taels?"
She was quite surprised when Tanchun nodded solemnly and looked at the woman with a rather unkind look.
Even Zhou Rui's family was implicated by her.
He nodded and called a few strong women to come over and drag away the complaining woman who had collapsed to the ground with fear.
As for the fate of this guy, it goes without saying that he will definitely be kicked out of the Rongfu family to have children, including her whole family.
Are you kidding me, is Mrs. Wang so easy to deceive?
After the mother-in-law was sent away, and even Zhou Rui's family was driven away, Mrs. Wang asked Yan Yuese about the construction of the provincial residence.
As for the demolition materials worth ten thousand taels of silver, she had no intention of asking for them.
Ten thousand taels of silver was still within the range that Mrs. Wang could not care about. Besides, she also wanted to be embarrassed.
The construction of the Provincial Family Courtyard is overseen by a group of young girls, including girls from the four major Jinling families. If she goes too far, she will cause a big joke.
Tanchun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally passed this level and passed the intact materials that had been left behind.
If it were to be sold at external prices, the several courtyards demolished to build the Provincial Family Courtyard would total almost thirty acres of land, and the value of the good materials that could be obtained would be tens of thousands of taels, right?
Again, the Rong Mansion will never want these materials.
Otherwise, the total amount of money spent to build the provincial residence would only be a little over 50,000 taels, which would be embarrassing to tell.
The little girls in charge of supervising the construction did not dare to be greedy and had no such intention. Instead, they asked Jia Min, the head of the female academy, for advice.
In the end, it was Jia Rong who came up with the idea to keep the most precious wood from the fallen materials and exchange the rest for silver.
Then, he went to the outskirts of the capital and bought a large village, which was specially used for outings by female students and for practicing.
This idea was unanimously approved by a group of young girls, and the matter was settled.
However, just in case, Xue Baochai and the other little girls had prepared several sets of rhetoric in advance to deal with all kinds of troubles.
Of course, they had reported it to the old lady early, and the old lady naturally had no objection. Tens of thousands of taels of silver were not in her eyes.
Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, is a moderate trouble.
This person's ability is really average. She can't even do the job of guarding Chengdu, but she is still a housekeeper with great authority.
Mrs. Wang has been in charge of Rongfu Gongzhong for nearly twenty years. As a result, Rongfu Gongzhong's output has become less and less, and it has even reached the point where it has long been unable to make ends meet and is struggling to make ends meet.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to entrust it to Wang Xifeng, and let Wang Xifeng, her niece, help take the blame. It is really not enough to support it...
