Qian Hua was replaced like this without being seen alive or dead?
The entire Jia Mansion was immediately in a state of chaos.
What does Mr. Lian, the new head of the family, mean?
With just one word, Baoyu's follower was promoted to the chief comprador of the Rongguo Mansion?
Has he discussed this matter with the old ladies and ladies?
Everyone secretly said that the elder was a cold-blooded person, did things erratically, was greedy for money, lustful, and immoral. His son, Second Master Lian, was not like him. But at this moment, it seemed that this Second Master Lian was also quite outrageous.
.
As soon as Jia Lian returned to the house, Wang Xifeng was discussing things with Heping'er in the house. When they saw him coming back, they all came up to him with a smile.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said:
"It's not good to exchange money for Hua. How can I use Li Gui?
Although that boy is a safe and practical person, he is not very smart. If it weren't for the fact that his mother is Baoyu's nanny, he would not be able to do errands with Baoyu.
Furthermore, he was sent by the master to be with Baoyu, how can we touch him?"
Jia Lian was actually willing to discuss the situation in the mansion with Wang Xifeng calmly, so he washed his hands in the copper basin brought over by Ping'er and said with a smile:
"I haven't come back yet, and the news has come back first?"
Wang Xifeng handed Jia Lian a snow-white handkerchief:
"When does news in our house not travel faster than legs? At this moment, I am afraid that the house where Grandma Lianzhu's widow is unemployed is already talking about this matter."
Jia Lian did not hide anything from Wang Xifeng:
"I have long thought that Li Gui is good. Just watch and let him do the shopping. You can't go wrong."
After a pause, he smiled again:
"I'll give you a chance to sell well.
Aunt Zhao’s two sons, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, have both worked in buying houses, but they cannot both turn to work as compradors, lest the two brothers join forces to squeeze out others.
You choose one of them and leave the other one to me. I have other arrangements."
Wang Xifeng deliberately rolled her eyes at Jia Lian:
"What if the one I picked is more capable than Li Gui?"
After Jia Lian wiped his hands, he handed the handkerchief to Wang Xifeng's hand, sat down and took the tea from Ping'er:
"If you can do it, do it well. If you do well, I will be promoted to you.
There is just one section where they are allowed to compete with each other but not to create trouble.
As long as people who know me dig holes for each other to cheat my own people, no matter how capable they are, I don't want such immoral people."
Wang Xifeng used to listen to Jia Lian's words and always liked to be ambiguous. Once she competed with him, he would definitely back down and give in, which made Wang Xifeng look down upon. But now Jia Lian's words have become eloquent and cannot be argued, which makes Wang Xifeng listen more and more.
Like.
After picking up a plate of pastries and bringing it to Jia Lian, Sister Feng smiled and said:
"You said there is a replacement in this house, do you have all the candidates?"
Jia Lian took Sister Feng's hand and picked out a piece filled with lotus paste. She picked it up and took a bite. After thinking about it, she said:
"Everyone else is easy to handle, but it's hard to choose a housekeeper.
Lai Da is a man of few words. He looks honest and calm, but is actually very shrewd and a capable manager.
His mother, Aunt Lai, had served the elders in the family. The old lady valued him the most, and the master trusted him the most. His son Lai Shangrong was the person the master wanted to promote.
Their family, relying on our family, has really taken advantage of all the good things like promotion and wealth."
When Wang Xifeng heard that he wanted to replace Lai Da, she thought to herself:
Sure enough, I have always underestimated this Lian Er. It turns out that he has so many thoughts in his heart, but he has always kept them hidden. Isn’t this just...
Cao Cao? Yes, the white-faced Cao Cao, the one full of ruthless ideas.
Oh, I really didn’t expect that I, Wang Xifeng, actually married a capable white-faced Cao Cao, haha.
With joy in her heart, Wang Xifeng's smile grew three points bigger:
"I have long seen that there is something wrong with their Lai family. You said that I try to be frugal every day, but I can't do it. Our family spends less and less money, so how come their family is getting rich in silence." p>
Jia Lian is still thinking about the choice of chief butler:
"Although Lin Zhixiao is also a general manager and an old servant of Rongguo Mansion for generations, he is mainly responsible for collecting and managing the bank account and various house and land affairs. He is more responsible for the internal affairs, but the external affairs are still worse." Wang Xifeng smiled and said:
"Lin Zhixiao and his wife can't even make a prick with an awl. I've always said that they are a match made in heaven. One is deaf and the other is mute."<
/p>
Jia Lian sneered in his heart:
Deaf?
Dumb?
Can't you make a sound when you prick it with an awl?
Alas - everyone knows that Wang Xifeng is smart, but they don’t know that Wang Xifeng’s vision is really bad.
Lin Zhixiao and his wife are the kind of "good people" who don't talk much. They don't talk nonsense. They say what should be said and don't say what shouldn't be said. What they say is useful.
I'm afraid that their deafening and mute looks are just pretending in front of Wang Xifeng.
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"These two couples are experienced in doing things, but they are also a little selfish. They are more or less the kind of 'loyal on the outside but cunning on the inside'.
I am about to replace Lai Da here, do I have to replace him with a ‘smaller Lai Da’?”
Wang Xifeng also frowned and said:
"That's a bit difficult. We can't leave the position of general manager vacant. Then, why don't we have to ask the second master about all the big and small things in the house?"
Jia Lian also sighed:
"Yes - indeed, what is the most expensive thing in this world today? Talent -"
.
Just as he was talking, someone came to report from outside and said, "Second Master Yun is here."
When Jia Lian heard this, his heart suddenly brightened.
But all he said was:
"Ask him to wait for me in the small study."
.
Jia Yun stood neatly in the small study room. When she saw Jia Lian coming in, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Please greet Uncle Lian.
Ten days ago, my mother came to plead for me and scolded me severely when she came back.
Uncle Lian asked me to reflect at home for ten days. During these ten days, my mother only gave me one meal a day, and every night she asked me to explain in detail what I had reflected on that day.
Today is the eleventh day. I came to Uncle Lian to ask him to see if I think clearly."
Jia Lian sat down behind the desk and said only one word with a sullen face:
"Speak."
Jia Yun didn't dare to raise her head, she knelt straight on the ground, lowered her head and said:
"I come from a poor family, and I have been looked down upon by others since I was a child. In fact, I have been working hard in the market, and I think I have become a good person.
That day in front of Uncle Bao, I flattered and accepted my godfather, and I was completely shameless in order to pursue my career. I actually hated that money-minded, groveling philistine face.
But..."
He suddenly stopped, as if he really wanted to say something, but he didn't dare and was trying to hold it back.
.
Jia Lian looked at this kind-faced young man with a long face, a long figure, and a really gentle and delicate appearance, and sighed in his heart: Children from poor families have long been in charge.
In his previous life, he was also a grassroots among grassroots, and he could fully understand Jia Yun. He was a young man from a humble background, but he could accept the poverty of his original family, and he was dedicated to changing his own destiny. p>
Although in the world of Red Mansions, Jia Lian, the uncle, is only one or two years older than Jia Yun, the nephew, in terms of actual mental age, Jia Lian is much more mature and calm than Jia Yun.
Jia Lian is very optimistic about him, so he cannot be soft-hearted at this time.
Jia Lian only said coldly:
"Don't hesitate. If you don't tell me, how will I know if you have figured it out?"
