I don’t know if there is a tacit understanding between the elder and Jin Jin. When the elder’s merit report was handed over, it was amazing that it was delivered to Jin Jin’s desk as soon as possible.
well done!
Today's reply is concise and concise, but it caused a little stir in the cabinet.
The elder was promoted to the sixth rank of Beicheng Army and Horses Division commander due to his meritorious service. The original commander Wu Fan was promoted to serve in Shuntian Mansion. Ma Yuan, who was also the deputy commander, was also promoted to half a rank, but his position remained unchanged.
As for the meritorious personnel on the Grand Master's list, all the cabinet members praised them, which will be of great help to their future promotions, and everyone is happy.
Some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.
Jia Zheng was one of them. It would be strange to be happy when he saw that the Grand Pardon Master had been promoted to the sixth rank, which was only half a rank lower than the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry Yuanwai Lang that he had served for almost twenty years.
Especially since the eldest master had been an official for only a short period of time, in less than two months, he was promoted two ranks in a row and became the administrative leader of Beicheng, which made him almost jealous and crazy.
No, the older baby felt aggrieved, so he went to his mother to complain and tactfully said that his eldest brother had the ability to support outsiders, so why didn’t he know how to help his own younger brother?
"This traitor is really outrageous!"
Mother Jia was so angry that she called Lian Er directly and said: "Go and call your father here. No matter what, you have to go back to the house!"
After saying that, he just waved his hand to chase people away, completely ignoring Lian Er's bitter look.
"Hey, what's going on, Second Master? Is he being bullied by someone?"
Housekeeper Wang Xifeng was so overwhelmed with the management that she was busy with trivial matters all day long. The women in charge were still refusing to obey the rules because of their seniority. Although Feng Lazi was a well-known character, she was also competing with these women.
It consumes a lot of energy, and no one can bear to do it so many times every day.
The most irritating thing was her good aunt. Every time she fell out with the housekeeper, her good aunt would show up on time and say that a family like Rongguo Mansion should treat its servants well to avoid being said by outsiders.
She really listened at the beginning, but as time went by, the situation became worse and worse. No matter how stupid Wang Xifeng was, she realized that something was wrong.
Her good aunt had no good intentions, she was just muddying the waters.
The servants in the Rongguo Mansion have long been out of the habit of being disciplined, and they are all very cunning. If they don't use enough force to intimidate, these cunning servants will not be able to command them at all.
The housekeeper's biggest concern is lack of reciprocal deterrence. Doesn't her good aunt's deliberate guidance want her to have trouble with the housekeeping and finally have to ask for help from her aunt who has many years of experience in managing the house?
Pooh!
Wang Xifeng is not stupid. When the eldest master handed over the title, Mrs. Wang told her that they would join forces to deal with Mrs. Xing. There was no possibility of it happening. Ms.
.
Even now, Mrs. Xing has followed the eldest master to live temporarily in another courtyard. How can she interfere with the housekeeper affairs in the house when everyone is gone?
As a result, Mrs. Wang's sinister intentions and purposes came to light. She was not willing to let go of the housekeeper's rights and wanted to snatch it from Wang Xifeng. She always used the sign of being good for her niece and created a lot of trouble for Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper and director.
They are both daughters of the Wang family. Since they can make alliances because of their own interests, they can also fall out because of their own interests.
It's just that Mrs. Wang is an elder after all, and she often makes small moves secretly to cause trouble for the housekeeper. It's really hard for Wang Xifeng to do so without clear evidence.
"How can I? Just now the old lady asked me to invite the eldest man back. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Lian Er smiled bitterly, the head of the house really didn't have any taste for him. Just the old lady and a giant Buddha were so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
"It just so happens that the eldest master has been promoted. Why don't the second master take advantage of this title and invite the eldest master to come back to celebrate?"
Wang Xifeng's eyes rolled, and she immediately made a suggestion: "It's good for us to be happy too!"
Lian Eryi thought for the same reason. It would be better if he could invite the elder to come back to live in his house.
…
"You kid, don't bother me!"
Seeing Lian Er smiling shyly, the elder said angrily: "What are you doing back home? Do you want the old lady to scold you every time you get the chance?"
Lian Er was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't explain to the old lady if the eldest master didn't return home.
"I have pity on my son. I have to go back home and have a banquet. I have to help my son get through this!"
When Lian Er saw that persuasion failed, he immediately pretended to be pitiful and decided to invite the elder back.
"Okay, okay, look at how talented your kid is. He only knows how to do trivial things in the house all day long, and he doesn't even think about doing anything serious outside the house!"
The old man was so angry that he waved his hands in disgust and said: "You are an empty shell of a third-class divine general, so you should be more comfortable with it!"
"master……"
This was heartbreaking. Lian Er felt aggrieved and didn't know how to express it. Seeing the eldest master's playful expression, he felt even more depressed and said helplessly, "My son can't help it. The whole family is counting on his son to be busy!"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not like there are no servants in the house. Why do you, the head of the house, need to be busy? Are you still running errands like you used to be a housekeeper?"
The elder sneered and said disdainfully: "I see you are so dizzy, do you really think there are any good things left for you in the house? Stop daydreaming!"
"That's not what the master said!"
Speaking of this, Lian Er had his own ideas and whispered: "The old lady is getting old, won't the warehouse in the mansion eventually fall into the hands of her son?"
“What a beautiful thought!”
The elder almost laughed out loud and said angrily: "The old lady's body is strong and strong. In my opinion, it is not a problem to live for another twenty years. What else will be left in the warehouse of the mansion by then?"
Lian Er said nothing, his disbelief clearly evident on his face.
"Hey, you kid doesn't know anything. I'm skilled in martial arts. It's not a problem to look at people's complexion and mental state!"
As he said that, he picked up a piece of paperweight on the desk and easily broke it in two under Lian Er's incredulous eyes. He extended the broken piece to Lian Er for a clear look and sneered, "How is it? Do you know what's going on?"
"This, this, this, when did the master develop such martial arts?"
Lian Er rubbed his eyes, then picked up the paperweight that was divided into two halves, and knocked it hard, making a crisp and pleasant sound. He couldn't see anything fishy, and finally put it down with a look of helplessness.
There was a sudden thought in my heart. If it was true as the old man said, the old lady had a strong body, I really don't know what her condition would be like if she lived another twenty years.
Thinking of the horror, I shivered and my face turned bad.
"There are still many things you don't know!"
The elder looked disdainful and sneered: "Well, the empty title you have is of no use. How about I help you get a real official position, so that you will not be completely ruined by staying in the house all the time!"
The real purpose is naturally not for Lian Er, but to let Lian Er help attract firepower, so that Jia Mu and Jia Zheng will not have to stare at the big boss all the time and have a hard time?
"Well, what kind of official position can I help my son get?"
Lian Er was moved. Seeing that the eldest master was prospering in the officialdom, it was impossible not to envy him.
As the eldest master said, his third-class Shenwei General title is nothing more than an empty show. After being the head of the Rong Mansion for several months, Lian Er understands this deeply.
The connections in the house are all in the hands of the old lady and the second uncle. As the head of the family, he is treated like a puppet, not as good as he imagined.
On the contrary, the eldest master, after jumping out of the Rongguo Mansion, even though he was only a seventh-grade Beijing official, he still prospered. In less than two months, he was promoted two levels in a row and became a full-time official of the sixth grade.
Only then did he realize how seriously the old lady and the second wife had misled him. A nobleman without power was as miserable as a phoenix with no feathers, not as miserable as a chicken.
"I will have a big plan in Beicheng recently. You will first find an eighth-grade clerk to work around. As long as you get good results, you will be promoted immediately!"
The elder looked serious and warned solemnly: "I tell you, kid, if you really enter the officialdom, you have to keep your tail between your legs. I have offended the censor Yanguan of Lantai Temple, and they are worried that they will not be able to catch me."
, if you kid can’t control yourself, just don’t think about becoming an official!”
"Can you allow your son to think about this carefully?"
Lian Er smiled bitterly, he really looked down on a mere eighth-grade official, and he had to face the scrutiny of a group of censors from Lantai Temple all the time. It was scary to think about it, but he was unwilling to give up a great opportunity.
Didn’t you hear what the big boss said, is there going to be big action in Beicheng? Referring to the big boss’s previous thunderous operation and strengthened sanitation and cleanup operation, which one of them will not alarm the court and attract the attention of today?
As long as you do a good job, promotion is not a matter of minutes?
Besides, the elder finally relaxed, but he didn't dare to refuse casually. Who knows if there will be such a good thing in the future?
…
"Boss, you have good things to do to benefit outsiders, why don't you think about your second brother?"
In the main room of Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu finally caught the boss who was back for a trip, and scolded him with an unhappy face: "Have you never heard of the saying 'killing tigers is a brother'? What do you think?"
"What ideas can I have?"
The elder looked indifferent and wrote lightly: "When I asked someone for help at the Ministry of Industry, it's not like the second brother didn't know about it. He was sitting on the Diaoyutai without any movement. How could I have the nerve to ask?"
"Second brother, is this happening?"
Mother Jia was a little disbelieving and looked back at her younger son who was pretending to be transparent.
"Mom, the eldest brother didn't make it clear at the time. How do I know he wants his son's help?"
Jia Zheng looked aggrieved and said depressedly: "My son doesn't want others to gossip!"
Tsk!
The old man almost vomited. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as Jia Zheng. Before Jia Mu could help her, she said angrily: "Don't say it so nice. It seems like you have many jobs in the Ministry of Industry."
You are so valued, but you don’t know how to fight for it, why do you have to ask me to come to the door for you to know how to help me?"
