Chapter 154: Wait for me to be the head of the family
The reason why Jia Lian tried every means to avoid the "Jia Clan Provincial House Project Department" was because he had already made plans and would seize this golden opportunity in order to completely seize the power of the Rongguo Mansion in one fell swoop.
, to become the true head of the Rong family.
After experiencing coffin splitting in the street, Jia Lian became more aware that no matter how rich and status he was, if he had no say in the Jia family, he would not be able to prevent the decline of the Jia family.
If you want to prevent Jia's old car from driving towards the cliff, you must be the one holding the steering wheel.
Luck is just that good.
It just so happened that Wei Tongguang had received the "emperor's mission", so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation, seize the opportunity, and expand the results. Therefore, Jia Lian also used Wei Tongguang's mouth to express his wishes to the emperor in private.
"Reward". The result is of course satisfying to both parties.
All of this is proceeding step by step as Jia Lian envisioned.
But it was impossible for Jia Lian to tell Wang Xifeng.
"Book of Changes" says:
"Confucius said: When chaos arises, words are regarded as ranks. If the ruler is not secretive, his subjects will be lost; if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their integrity; if the affairs are not secretive, they will cause harm. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not go out."
In short, that is "You can't talk nonsense, but you can't be in the house".
Wang Xifeng is the kind of woman who is very self-confident and confident. She firmly believes that all men in the world are not smarter than her (women are the same). Therefore, she never listens to others' advice and only moves towards her own goals.
The only way to make her stop is to wait for her head to make a sharp and intimate contact with the south wall.
But Wang Xifeng is Jia Lian's wife. After all, a couple's kindness lasts for a hundred days, and a couple for a hundred days is as deep as the sea. Jia Lian cannot leave her alone.
So Jia Lian still tried his best to persuade her. If she was ignorant, then Jia Lian would have nothing to regret.
.
Wang Xifeng's body has been trembling slightly, and her sobbing voice has gradually become louder:
"You're talking nonsense! Our Wang family is definitely not as forgetful as your Jia family!
People in our family...never harm their own family members.
My wife is my biological aunt...she will never cheat me..."
Jia Lian sighed:
"You fool.
There is nothing in this world that is absolutely impossible."
Wang Xifeng suddenly raised his head:
"You are a fool!
This time, a lot of money was spent on building the provincial residence. There are many hidden things inside. How many people have sharpened their heads and dug into it. Who wouldn't be willing to pass a hand and peel off a layer of skin?
Even the two men beside the master, Shan Pinren and Bu Guxiu, rushed to get involved. Those two were just bookworms who drank tea, read and laughed. They knew nothing about the purchasing economy, and they brought fans to the master.
They were the ones delivering ink pads again, so I coaxed the master into recommending them to Brother Zhen.
You have no idea about such a good thing like real money.
It was my wife who told me that Lian Er’s trip to Yangzhou was all for our Jia family, and it was not appropriate for you and your family to suffer.
My wife then personally told Brother Zhen and asked me to follow him and take care of him.
Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and the others need to discuss their errands with me because they have to do with future storage. Especially the silver used to make gold and silver vessels is placed with me first, and then comes to me when Jia Rong uses it.
Yes.
If you think about it with your conscience, isn’t this how caring relatives should be?”
Jia Lian's heart sank:
The money was placed in Wang Xifeng's hands, and she had to take it out again to settle accounts.
Before, she only used the monthly money from the Rongguo Mansion to settle accounts. This time, if she also used the money from the "Jia Clan Provincial Home Project Department" to settle accounts, once something happened...
Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng. The dim yellow light shone on her face that was still filled with tears but was already aggressive. He thought of the first night of joy that this woman had brought to him in his life, and the usually ferocious tenderness and concern in her words.
, I felt mixed emotions at the moment.
Seeing Jia Lian's silence, Sister Feng thought that he had been suppressed by her, so she sat up straight again and complained:
"It was a good thing, but you ended up making such a fuss."
He picked up the chopsticks again and gave Jia Lian a piece of vegetables:
"I don't care about Sister Lin's affairs. You can bring her back if you want. Anyway, the old lady has the final say in this matter.
I was so happy that I went along with Baoyu's heart. If the old lady heard it, wouldn't she also be happy with me?"
Jia Lian saw that the silly Sister Feng only thought that the matter was a question of "Daiyu or Baochai marrying Baoyu", so he turned to him:
"I'll go up there tomorrow and I'll be back in two or three days. You can pack my luggage for me tomorrow."
Sister Feng was still thinking about what Mrs. Wang said, "I will tell the empress in person when she enters the palace on the second day of the lunar month next month", so she couldn't help but said:
"How can it be so fast? It has to be next month anyway."
Hearing this, Jia Lian understood that Mrs. Wang was behind this, and ignored her, saying only:
"I have to go to the Yamen tomorrow to settle things. Just hurry up and take care of it."
After a pause, he said again:
"When I went to Yangzhou this time, in addition to Xing'er, Long'er, Zhao'er, and Fu'er, I also asked Qingwen to wait on me."
"What did you say!" Wang Xifeng threw the chopsticks away with a loud "桄桔" sound.
"How dare you take that little naughty fox out! I won't allow it!"
Jia Lian smiled:
"I also think Qingwen is a bit young.
How about I take Ping'er out instead?"
Seeing Sister Feng's willow-leaf eyebrows standing upright and Danfeng's triangular eyes widening, Jia Lian smiled again and said:
"Since you didn't ask me to take care of you, I might as well go directly to the old lady's place.
He said that he needs a girl to serve him on this journey. In addition to mandarin ducks, the old lady can’t live without her. There are also amber, jade, glass, agate, and parrots. There are a bunch of girls aged eighteen or nineteen. If I ask for one, the old lady will definitely agree.
."
Sister Feng was so angry that she banged the table, but she also understood that if this matter was brought to the old lady's side, her reputation would be completely ruined, and she would be labeled as a jealous wife.
After all, the Jia family is a family of poetry, etiquette, and hairpins. They believe in Confucianism and emphasize "the husband is righteous and the woman is obedient." As a wife, it cannot be justified in any case if she is not submissive to her husband.
Especially if the old lady really gives Jia Lian a big girl, then she cannot afford to offend this concubine and cannot move it away.
When she was filled with anger and didn't dare to vent it, Jia Lian took Sister Feng's hand:
"Before, I did a lot of stupid things, and it was my fault."
Sister Feng couldn't help but said "Huh?": Is this something that can be said from Jia Lian's mouth???
Jia Lian continued:
"I'm a bastard in front, and you are following step by step behind, destroying each one when you see them, with a firm belief that will never waver.
But the problem is, you can’t tie me to the waistband of your pants. If I really want to steal something, you really can’t prevent it.
You don't allow me to touch this or touch that, even if I'm ninety-nine or just old enough to walk, I won't even look at you, and you won't be allowed to say anything.
Then we will continue to have troubles one after another. If you think about it, no matter how deep the love between husband and wife is, it will not be able to withstand the hardships. Sooner or later it will become weaker and weaker."
"Bah! Even if I'm so in charge, why don't you still drag all the dirty and smelly things into the house?" Wang Xifeng shook Jia Lian's hand but did not shake it away.
Jia Lian knew that the taste of the owner of his body was a bit poor. He stared at the wives of the cooks in Jia's house every day and couldn't help but lament in his heart:
You might as well be Ximen Qing. Although they also like wives, they like the wives of rich people anyway. You're better off! Just play with your life with the cook's wife!
Were you a fish that was slaughtered by a cook in your last life? Are you here for the green cook in this life?
