"Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, these common things from morning to night, it's really annoying."
Jia Zheng threw away the almost empty tea bowl on the table, his face full of irritation.
"The distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and it is useless to ask anyone to run it. The most important thing now is that the government has no money to build a provincial residence. How can the few money collected from operating those shops and real estate solve the problem?
It's already July. The provincial residence for relatives at Zhou Guiren's father's house has been built. The garden built by Wu Guifei's father Wu Tianyou outside the city is almost finished. If our provincial residence for relatives cannot be built, what will happen?
Do you live up to the filial piety and benevolence of today's people? If you live up to the emperor's kindness, where should we put our mother-in-law's face?"
Mrs. Wang’s heart moved:
Isn't this in line with Baochai's idea just now? Since he wants to drive Jia Lian away from Rongguo Mansion and not ask him to take charge of affairs, it is better to force him to take charge of the Provincial Family Courtyard. There is a shortage of tens of thousands of taels of silver there. Unless he Jia Lian
It is the gods who can conjure money. Otherwise, the Provincial Family House cannot be built, and he will be the sinner of the entire Jia family.
So Mrs. Wang put one hand on the table, sat upright and said:
"My master, what you said is wrong. How can water from afar fail to quench the thirst that is close by? Now that I have a big golden basket, how can I still beg for food with nothing?"
Since the last time Jia Zheng said he wanted to exchange money with Aunt Xue, and was scolded by Mrs. Wang, he did not dare to have any more "delusional thoughts". At this time, when he heard Mrs. Wang say "big gold basket", how could he dare to guess that he was looking for money?
Who redeemed it? He just said casually:
"Then what else can I do?"
Mrs. Wang said seriously:
"We don't ask Lian Er to take care of the affairs of our house because he is not from our second house, but he is still the eldest son of the first house. How can he not care about the important affairs of the Jia family?
Now that he has gained an official position and gained favor, he is naturally a very capable person. When it comes to such an important matter as the bride's wedding, it is natural for him to put more effort into it.
The master is busy with work and has never been accustomed to such mundane matters. He is a junior, so he is so indifferent? Don't you know how much you should worry about this important matter for the master?
Since he refuses to take the initiative, I should go to the old lady Ming and tell her that I want to send Lian Er to take charge of the construction of the provincial residence. Even if he doesn't want to go, he has to go."
.
Jia Zheng followed his words and immediately went to Jia's mother and told Jia Lian that he "asked Jia Lian to take over the construction of the Provincial Courtyard in his place, and no longer let him manage the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion. From now on, all family affairs will be handed over to Lai Da". p>
Jia Mu listened quietly, with no trace of emotion on her face, but her heart sank hard - this Lian Er! He actually got everything right in advance!
Mother Jia looked lovingly at her second son, whom she always valued the most, and felt unhappy in her heart.
Jia Zheng is different from the lustful, greedy, arrogant and lewd Jia She. He is not a frivolous official.
When Dai Shanggong was still alive, he loved his youngest son who loved studying since he was a child. He hoped that he would be able to stand out from the imperial examination, so that the Jia family, who had a military background, could complete the transition to civil servants in the imperial examination.
Loyal to the king and patriotic, honest as an official, diligent, thrifty and prudent, filial to his mother, strict with himself, humble and kind, courteous to the virtuous and corporal, helping the weak and those in need... This son has so many advantages, what mother wouldn't like him?
However, knowing a son is better than his mother, and Jia Mu understands better than anyone else that Jia Zheng, who is very "ancestral", does not have "ancestral ability".
This son was more than loyal but not very smart. Although he often scolded Baoyu for being unwilling to make progress, in fact, at his core, Jia Zheng himself only loved poetry, wine, and elegance, and did not want to make practical plans.
What's even more terrible is that Jia Zheng'er is soft-hearted, has no accurate ideas, and just marries a domineering and selfish Mrs. Wang.
.
At that time, in order to show loyalty to the newly enthroned Emperor Yuanhe of the Jia family, Ningguo Gong Jia Daihua took the initiative to give up his position as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp and handed over the entire military power of the Beijing Camp.
However, for the sake of long-term planning, the Jia family still left this crucial position to their former subordinate Wang Ziteng.
It is precisely because of the long-term planning and arrangement of Jia Daishan and the two brothers Jia Daishan that Jia Zheng was allowed to marry Wang Ziteng's sister several years before the Jia family handed over the military power of the Jingying Jiedu Envoy.<
/p>
As soon as Mrs. Wang officially entered the house, Jia Mu handed over the housekeeping rights to her daughter-in-law and took care of herself.
Jia Mu understands the principle of "not seeking political power if you are not in your position", and she also understands that only by showing "peace of mind" and enjoying herself can her children and grandchildren feel at ease.
But although she no longer managed the internal affairs of Jia's family, Jia's mother was not blind. She only looked at her coldly for a year or two, then secretly shook her head and sighed: This daughter-in-law married the wrong person.
Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession
A girl is afraid of marrying the wrong man.
Marrying the wrong person will ruin your life
Marrying the wrong person will ruin three generations!
The ancestors of the Wang family also had a martial arts background and once served as the county magistrate of Du Taiwei. Later, with the support of the Jia family, Wang Ziteng sat in the position of Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp for decades. Recently, he was promoted to the governor of nine provinces. The Jia family was in decline.
, the Wang family has become increasingly wealthy.
But the Wang family is rich and powerful, but there is still one crucial thing missing from the Jia family, a well-known family like the Jia family - education.
Especially the women of the Wang family, all of them are illiterate and all of them are domineering.
Now everyone in the Jia family knows that Wang Xifeng is domineering and jealous, and Mrs. Wang back then was even worse.
As soon as Wang Xifeng got married, she spent all her money on Jia Lian's eldest daughter-in-law and her own maid, just like what Mrs. Wang did back then.
Ping'er who is by Wang Xifeng's side now is exactly the same as Aunt Zhou who was by Mrs. Wang's side back then.
She was said to be a concubine, but Jia Zheng was never allowed to touch her, and she was not allowed to get pregnant if she touched her. This is why Aunt Zhou, who is now nearly fifty years old, has no children.
It wasn't until Mrs. Wang gave birth to two sons and one daughter that she relaxed her supervision slightly.
As the saying goes; evil people will be punished by evil people.
Mrs. Wang's tyranny could not prevent Aunt Zhao from taking advantage of the situation, let alone Aunt Zhao's "vulgar tyranny".
Jia Zheng, who had been guarded for half his life, suddenly found Aunt Zhao, as if he was possessed.
This honest man, who always only wanted peace of mind, came to Jia Mu at night and begged Jia Mu to protect the child in Aunt Zhao's belly. He also begged Jia Mu to wait for the child to be born, and to ask Jia Mu to take care of her and educate her no matter what.
After marrying Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng was the first unlucky generation.
Jia Zhu is the second generation who was unlucky at the hands of the Wang family. Jia's mother really doesn't want to think about Wang Chunfeng's affairs anymore. As for Yuanchun and Baoyu, I hope my ancestors will bless them, but they must not be ruined again.
And Jia Lan is the third generation.
In order to let Baoyu marry Baochai and hold on to the Jia family's property, Mrs. Wang did not let her eldest daughter-in-law Li Wan take charge of the family, but it was unreasonable to ignore her eldest grandson Jia Lan. As the eldest grandson of the second room of the Jia family,
Jia Lan's status in the government is even lower than that of Jia Huan! Is this justified?
But, Mrs. Wang did just that.
The Wang family is overbearing and selfish. These Jia Mu have long known it, but for the Wang family's selfishness, they would not hesitate to harm the Jia family. This is... too crazy.
Jia's mother had to admit that Jia Lian had a deeper understanding of this matter than she did, and he was more prophetic.
What the Jia family lacks most is someone who can stand tall, see far, think and do what they want. But this person is not Baoyu, but Jia Lian.
This kid is indeed a master at playing chess.
When he made the move of "punishing everyone Lai", he was already sure that he would be able to drive out the demons and monsters in their group. So, should the next few moves be left to him?
