Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 21: Jia Lan’s long-term plan to eliminate greed and join forces with Lan Feng
Chapter 21: Jia Lan’s long-term plan to eliminate greed and join forces with Lan Feng
The Jia Mansion is a mess. Leng Zixing and Zeng Jialan once said: "Although the outer frame has not fallen much, the inner bag has been exhausted."
But Leng Zixing feels that the most serious problem of the Jia family is not the financial deficit, but "the family of such a family, a family of calligraphy and calligraphy, poetry and calligraphy, today's children and grandchildren are actually worse than the previous generation!"
In other words, the Jia family's reputation in the officialdom has been greatly reduced. If Jia Zheng is still a facade, then almost no one in the next generation is a suitable successor.
Therefore, Leng Zixing also had some guesses about Jia Mu: "The ancestors were not blind. When they let the eldest girl enter the palace, they might have wanted to rely on the honor of a noble concubine to transform the Jia Mansion into a noble family. In this way, it could be restored again.
Take it easy for a while..."
Jia Lan was able to recruit Leng Zixing as his subordinate. If it was because of his cleverness and his identity as Jia Zheng's grandson at first, then Jia Lan later passed the government examination and won the first case in the court examination. This honor
That was the key to completely convincing Leng Zixing.
If Leng Zixing is relatively optimistic, then Qin Keqing's view is quite negative. Not only did he say that "when a tree falls, the monkeys will scatter", but also sadly believed that "to be able to plan a career in prosperity in the future can be said to be a permanent guarantee."
It’s all over forever.”
Having said that, both Leng Zixing and Qin Keqing spoke very highly of Sister Feng. Especially the latter, after his death, he entrusted a dream to Wang Xifeng and praised: "Auntie, you are a hero in the makeup team, even those belt tops
No man with a crown can surpass you." He also informed Sister Feng of her wish and method to save the Jia family.
Therefore, if the Jia family is to be revived, Sister Feng’s hurdle cannot be avoided.
After hearing Sister Feng's complaint, Jia Lan pretended not to know anything and said in surprise: "How could it be like this? This house has reached such a state?!"
So I pondered for a while and mentioned a few rooms. It was nothing more than frugality and saving money.
Ping'er on the side just shook his head after hearing this: "Brother Lan, this is a job that offends people! My wife and the housekeeper have thought of many ways in the past few years. Although everyone in the house greets me with a low eyebrow when they meet, they secretly say
I don’t know how unpleasant the scolding is!”
Jia Lan nodded sadly: "That's true! Alas... aunt, forgive me, but my nephew doesn't have any good ideas for a while."
Sister Feng sneered, stood up from the kang, her graceful figure instantly stretched out, and stood in front of Jia Lan handsomely.
Jia Lan was suffocated by the fragrant wind, and saw Sister Feng's black and white eyes staring closely at him.
"Others said this, so of course I believe it, but when you Langeer said this, Auntie didn't believe it."
Sister Feng glanced at Jia Lan with amusement, "Brother Lan is not only good at reading, he is also full of ways to make money. In less than half a year, he has built a huge family business. No one else knows.
But I know that Zuiqiong Tower, which has been booming recently in the divine capital city, is your business, Langeer!"
Under pressure from Sister Feng, Jia Lan could only speak. In fact, the solution he gave Sister Feng was just an old-fashioned idea, which was to clear out the silverfish in the house.
At first, Sister Feng shook her head after hearing this, saying that the emperor was not afraid of hungry soldiers. She also said that if the water were clear, there would be no fish. If you care about it, it will only lose people's hearts.
Although the tone was cryptic, Jia Lan understood it. After all, Sister Feng's housekeeping power was nothing more than "acting in charge" of the housekeeping power. In name, Rongguo Mansion was managed by Jia Zheng, who was the second roommate.
That is to say, Mrs. Wang is the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion.
If trouble arises for no reason, Sister Feng is equivalent to destroying her own job.
No wonder Sister Feng threw herself into the trap and Jia Lan sighed secretly.
After all, Sister Feng's situation is just like Jia Zheng's inability to control the Jia family, and she has fallen into the same vicious circle.
But for the sake of long-term plan, Jia Lan still had to speak: "Auntie is confused. You need to know that good fortune never comes again, misfortunes will come again. Now the house is like the burning fire cooking oil. It looks bright, but it is extremely difficult. Then
Everyone above and below must work together to overcome the difficulties. As the saying goes, "The big tree in front of the door is good for providing shade." If the big tree in Jia's house falls, and all these servants are in the house, who will have a good end?
?
It's just a matter of paying off some late nights. I heard that Grandma Lai's family has more money than her aunt. The Lai family's garden is half the size of the Grand View Garden, and their Lai Shangrong even takes a turn as a substitute.
It fills a real gap, if only he is an honest person, it will also increase the reputation of our Jia family, but I heard that Lai Shangrong is even more greedy than his father, and can make tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.<
/p>
Auntie, where in the world are there such slaves?"
Wang Xifeng hesitated for a while after hearing this. She had always heard about the wealth of Aunt Lai's family, but if she wanted to touch Aunt Lai, she couldn't do anything at once.
"Aunt, some of these things have to be done after all. I want to ask Aunt, who else in the Ningrong House besides Aunt can take on this important responsibility?"
Jia Lan's last words ignited Sister Feng's ambition. The two of them worked together to collect evidence of the Lai family's corruption, and then report it to Jia's mother when the time came.
You only have one, you don’t need your life, but you must have money.
The two of them were communicating in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, but something didn't feel right as they talked.
Jia Lan suddenly became alert. Sister Feng's words obviously gave Jia Lan the idea of getting drunk in Qionglou.
Just kidding, this is Jialan’s only foundation now!
"Auntie is joking, this restaurant only has a business of a few thousand taels, how can it still attract auntie's attention?"
"Lang Geer, please be considerate and considerate. There is no reason to have too much money in this world. Besides, you will go to school soon, and let me take care of the restaurant in Nuo Da. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get away. Jia Lan, who was forced into a corner, could only use his big move: "It's true that I'm running a restaurant, but it's more about using the restaurant's running water to make loan sharks, right?"
Sister Feng thought she was sure of winning, but she never expected to be frightened by Jia Lan snatching her away. It all happened so suddenly that she had no time to calm down her expression.
Seeing that Sister Feng's face turned pale and red, Jia Lan also knew not to be too irritated, so he used the same words he used to persuade Ni Er before to persuade Sister Feng. It was probably that once he was involved in things like loan sharking, he would never have peace in his life.
, leaving a big loophole for others. If he turns against the enemy one day and is bitten by the other party, it will really be self-defeating.
……
After walking out of Sister Feng's yard, Jia Lan took a long breath and raised his head, facing the slowly setting sun, and murmured: "The result is not too bad."
Unexpectedly, I accidentally reached a cooperation with Sister Feng, and I was not at a disadvantage.
[This Sister Feng is indeed a woman with seven orifices and an exquisite heart. What she says with her mouth is as good as a pair of man’s fists.]
Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Lan suddenly heard an intermittent cough not far away.
