Aunt Lai came into the old lady’s room with a smile.
Smiling and chatting for most of the day.
Came out of Jia Mu's house with a smile.
Smiling, he let the girl support him all the way out of the back house.
Smiling, he got into his sedan chair.
As soon as the sedan curtain was closed, Grandma Lai's face stopped smiling.
.
What kind of drama is the old lady going to sing?
This is the reason why she came to Jia's house today. As for her grandson Lai Shangrong becoming the county magistrate, that is just an excuse - all the officials have become officials, so why bother talking about it?
Aunt Lai is undoubtedly the most honorable slave in the Jia family, and she has already reached the top among slaves.
But not every slave has such great fortune, it requires real ability.
Grandma Lai has this ability!
Let me ask: Which slave can be like her, Nanny Lai, who knows what she wants at all times? And can also think clearly at all times how to get what she wants?
But don't think that as long as you can observe people's emotions, be good at speaking, and please your master, it's enough. That's just a beginner.
The knowledge and experience in this were the heirlooms of the Lai family, and Grandma Lai passed them down orally to her two sons - Lai Da and Lai Er.
.
The young men of the Lai family carried the sedan all the way into the courtyard gate of the Lai family and into the hanging flower gate. A little girl came up to open the curtain of the sedan chair, and two more little girls came up to support Grandma Lai as she walked across the sea.
Behind the large courtyard with green bricks are three large main rooms with carved beams and paintings. The two little girls at the door quickly opened the thin bamboo curtains, and two big girls in red and green came out of the house. They came up to them with a smile and said: p>
"My ancestors are back. I have been waiting for a long time."
Aunt Lai was helped into the house by two little girls, and Lai and Lai hurriedly came to greet her.
Aunt Lai sat down on the big Kang by the window. The two little girls left, and immediately two more big maids and two little maids came up. The two little maids knelt on the ground and rubbed their arms and legs, and the big maid rubbed her waist.
, the other carefully rubbed Grandma Lai’s temples.
Aunt Lai leaned comfortably on the big cushion of red satin embroidered with golden peonies and let out a sigh of relief:
"That little bastard from the Jia family makes my back hurt and my legs feel numb from sitting on it."
Lai Da couldn't wait any longer, so he caught up and asked:
"Mom, your old man has been here for half a day and has made people anxious. What does the Jia family mean?"
Aunt Lai half-closed her eyes, waved her hands and said:
"What do you mean? That's because their family is fighting within themselves. Let's just continue to 'dig'."
.
"Poaching" has been the Lai family's consistent strategy against the Jia family for decades, and it has never stopped.
From the time when Grandma Lai was still serving the Jia family, she was always thinking about how to "dig" her own wealth from under the Big Gold Mountain.
She watched Jia Zheng grow up and knew that the son Jia Mu valued most was actually a waste, and Grandma Lai became even more angry.
So, Aunt Lai first made her son, Jia Zheng's nanny, into Jia Zheng's personal servant. Lai Da was taught by Aunt Lai and coaxed Jia Zheng around. In this way, Jia Zheng became the official of the Rongguo Mansion.
The head of the family, Lai Da, naturally became one of the several housekeepers in the Jia family.
Nanny Lai tried her best internally, and Lai Da worked hard on his own outside. Within two years, Lai Da successfully solved the old housekeeper and became the number one housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion.
After some further operations, Lai Da's daughter-in-law became the leader of the four daughters-in-law of the housekeeper and director of Rongguo Mansion.
The male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside, tightly holding the fate of Rongguo Mansion.
Is this enough?
No.
Aunt Lai and Lai Da worked together again, and the next year, Lai Er was promoted to the number one housekeeper in Ningguo Mansion. Not long after, Lai Er's daughter-in-law also became the top housekeeper in Ningguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion was also completely captured.
After the Lai family completely controlled the second Rongning family of the Jia family, the brothers worked together and the husband and wife were united, so they could let go of "digging".
This is the skill of the Lai family!
Are you dissatisfied?
In the words of Grandma Lai:
"If we don't poach them away, the Jia family will lose their fortune, so why not take it in for them? We have endured two or three lifetimes. If we don't become rich, what's the point?"
.
"Mom, I understand. This is another battle between the eldest and the second eldest brother. My wife wants Jia Lian and her daughter-in-law to get out of Rongguo Mansion.
Fortunately, my wife took action. If Jia Lian was embarrassed by this, our lives would be ruined.
That kid Jia Lian was fine before, but now he is really not a good guy. Is the old lady confused? Instead of leaning toward Baoyu, lean toward him?"
What Lai Da is most concerned about is the old lady's attitude - after all, although Jia's mother is no longer in charge, her position in the Jia family is extremely important.
Over the years, all the masters of the Jia family are happy to be the hands-off shopkeepers, which makes the Lai family feel at ease. Jia Lian of Hulaba has changed his gender, which is really a lot of things!
Aunt Lai frowned and closed her eyes, then waved her hands and said:
"Of course the old lady still prefers gems, but things are a little different now.
Baoyu is a useless waste. Just like his father, he has no accurate ideas for doing things. He will definitely be like his father in the future. Whatever his wife says, it will be whatever he says.
So both the old lady and the madam understood this. The old lady intended for Baoyu to marry a girl from the Lin family. How could the madam be willing to accept it? Didn't this mean that the girl from the Xue family had already been brought in?.
They are a confused family, and they are still fighting over this. Hum, it has only been a few decades? The Jia family has already lost half of it."
Lai Er was a bit timid, so he came over and sat down beside Grandma Lai’s Kang and said:
"There is a mother who travels around this house to build relationships. She is highly respected in the Jia family and is considered to be the top. Even Jia Zheng has to stand up and speak when he meets her.
But having said that, no matter how powerful and respectable our family is, we still have to pretend to be slaves in the Jia family.
Now that we have all got rid of our slave status and Rong'er has become an official again, why don't we leave the capital as soon as possible and act like a wealthy man in an upright and dignified manner before returning home with our money?"
Aunt Lai didn't open her eyes, she tilted her mouth and smiled:
"Rong'er didn't take the imperial examination. His faculties are down because the Jia family has been working hard behind the scenes.
Nowadays, the power of the Jia family is no longer strong, so they are cultivating and wooing them, which is just us Ronger and Jia Yucun outside.
Compared with Jia Yucun, although our Rong'er has no examination background, the Jia family believes that they have been "kind" to our family for a lifetime, so they naturally believe in our Rong'er more.
Looking at it this way, our officials in Rong'er can still rise in the future.
Lai Er, don’t you want to be the prefect or the uncle of the Jiedushi? If you don’t want to, I still want Fengguanxiapei to be the emperor.”
Lai Da also came over and sat down, frowning and said:
"Mom, I agreed when we built a garden last time, but this time, I don't feel confident.
We use the old rules of the Jia family's ancestors to 'dig', and no one can say anything. For example, all income goes to the accounting room, and if the Jia family gets a point, we will definitely be able to share half of it. This is known to everyone, and Jia Lian knows
I don’t dare to care.
But over the years, we have taken the money that the Jia family had saved in other families in the early years, sold the Jia family's properties outside the capital, and hid several large sums of money. It adds up to a terrible sum.
It doesn’t matter if the rest of the Jia family is confused, but if this really comes to a ‘big reveal’ for that Jia Lian, we will..."
