In the main hall of the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, the atmosphere is quite subtle and weird.
"I don't care whether they agree or not, I will behave like this in the future!"
The elder waved his hand, ignored Jia Zhu's embarrassed look, and said leisurely, "You must also know about my relationship with your father, so it's better not to talk about the marriage invitation, so as not to embarrass everyone!"
But your actions are too unacceptable, right?
If it were told, not only would the Rong Mansion become the laughing stock of the entire capital, but the old lady and the master would be angry to death. Not only would you, the Minister of Industry, not be a help to the government, but you would also benefit from the master.
Although she wanted to think so, Jia Zhu didn't have the guts to confront the elder, so she had to stand up and hand over her hands, saying helplessly: "My nephew will definitely tell the uncle's wishes to the elder, but..."
"Don't worry!"
The elder waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Just bring what you want and you don't need to get involved in the rest. This is a matter between me and your father!"
Jia Zhu had no choice but to nod in agreement and left the east courtyard with his wife and children who were equally shocked.
"Come out, is it fun to listen to the corner?"
After Jia Zhu left, the elder greeted Yingchun and Jia Cong into the house, turned around and said angrily to the back: "How old are you, you still play such unworthy tricks!"
Lian Ertan laughed out loud and said with a smile, "Aren't I afraid that Brother Zhu will be embarrassed?"
"We are all cousins, what is there to be embarrassed about!"
The elder laughed angrily and scolded: "Speaking of which, sir, I have been back for a while. Why don't you see your wife and Sister Qiao?"
Lian Er's face became even more embarrassed, and he said helplessly, "The affairs in the house are so busy that it's hard to escape. I will naturally bring Sister Qiao here after my daughter-in-law has finished her work!"
"Tsk, I won't talk about you either!"
The elder said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that in the past few years since I've been away, your wife has been coaxed by the second roommate again!"
"How can that be possible!"
Lian Er felt embarrassed and said depressedly, "It's just that the relationship with the second wife has become a little warmer!"
"As long as you know this, I don't live here all the time!"
The elder waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Remember to give birth to a son as soon as possible, otherwise your title will still be at risk!"
Lian Er's face completely collapsed, and he said depressedly: "I do think so, but..."
"Forget it, forget it, this is your young couple's business!"
The elder said indifferently: "Bring Sister Qiao here and let me take you with me for a while. I haven't seen my granddaughter yet!"
"Okay, okay, I'll send Sister Qiao to you later!"
Lian Er hurriedly changed the subject and asked curiously, "Master, what you just told Brother Zhu is true?"
"Of course it's true!"
The elder said calmly: "Don't you know what your second uncle is like? Instead of asking the government to force me to waste my resources again and again, and in the end I can't get a good deal, I might as well just play deals. If your second uncle is himself
He can't blame me for his lack of ability, I still have to give him a good physical pain!"
"I'm afraid the old lady will be very angry!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said, "My son will be unlucky then!"
"I don't care about this!"
After waving his hand, the elder said disdainfully, "It's best to figure out some things early, otherwise some people will have to hang on to you and refuse to let go after a long time!"
Lian Er was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really possible with the old lady's behavior, and was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, okay, go and bring Sister Qiao here, you are not welcome here!"
Seeing Lian Er sitting stupidly as if he had some enlightenment, the elder waved his hand angrily and chased them away, asking Yingchun and Jia Cong who were sitting next to him to read the joke.
As for Wang Xifeng's negative attitude, the elder just thought about it for a moment and understood that this woman must have been plotted by Mrs. Wang again. As for the reason for the plot, it should be related to Yingchun and Jia Cong.
It is nothing more than a resource issue. Wang Xifeng is worried that the resources in the hands of the elder are as partial as the old lady. In the end, they are all given to Yingchun and Jia Cong, and she and Lian Er will not gain much.
Instead of doing this, it's better to follow my uncle's footsteps, maybe you can get some benefits.
It can only be said that idiots are idiots. They believe it when Mrs. Wang provokes her. She doesn't even think about how Lian Er's current position came about.
Although he is only a fifth-rank official, the official position of General Judge of Shuntian Prefecture is such a good one. As long as he stays in Shuntian Prefecture for a period of time and has enough qualifications, his future promotion will not cause too much backlash and rejection.
Do you really think that Lian Er is as good as the eldest master? If Lian Er is suddenly promoted to a high position, will he be able to sit firmly?
Of course, even if you tell a snobbish person like Wang Xifeng about these things, she probably won't listen. Only the loss of benefits is the most important thing, and she won't care whether Lian Er has that ability or not.
Don't think that the eldest master doesn't know that Lian Er has been very careful as an errand in Shuntian Mansion in the past few years, but Wang Xifeng has secretly taken advantage of Lian Er's position to gain a lot of benefits.
To put it bluntly, it was using power for personal gain. That is to say, Wang Xifeng did not violate the bottom line and acted no differently from other official wives. The eldest man just turned a blind eye, otherwise he would have told her what regret means.
The eldest master knew that Wang Xifeng was in an embarrassing situation in the mansion. Jia Mu was suppressing her, and Mrs. Wang was secretly causing trouble from time to time. In addition, the money in the palace was tight, and the mansion was fond of extravagance and waste. Sometimes there was a serious shortage of money.
.
It can only be said that Wang Xifeng was fascinated by the Rong Guofu brand. She also had a gun-loving temperament and loved to seize power. She simply could not bear the burden of Rong Guofu, but she had to do it forcefully.
Lian Er was a junior, and since he was not in an official position, there was not much he could do to help. Wang Xifeng was far inferior to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in house fighting, so one can imagine the final result.
Mrs. Wang was always her biological aunt. No matter how defensive she was, if Mrs. Wang really wanted to show off as being close to her, Wang Xifeng would not be able to treat her coldly.
As time goes by, who knows whether Mrs. Wang will persuade her again to use Lian Er and the authority in the house as bait to lead Wang Xifeng to have a biased temper and blind her eyes?
Don’t think that since the eldest master has not been in the mansion for many years, he doesn’t know what is happening in the mansion!
That is to say, Wang Xifeng has not done anything that goes beyond the bottom line, otherwise the eldest brother would have taught her in minutes what it means to do something with ease.
The brand of Rongguo Mansion is no longer good, and now it is all supported by the eldest man. As long as the eldest man secretly uses some tricks, Rongguo Mansion will definitely be in trouble in the capital, even if Wang Ziteng wants to protect it, it will not work.
The Jingying Jiedu Envoy is very good. If the civil service group does not give him face, he will lose face. Besides, it is quite taboo for military ministers to interfere in the affairs of the civil service. Wang Ziteng will understand this.
It can only be said that Mrs. Wang's methods are even more clever.
Obviously they have been divided into two houses, and even the daily expenses have been completely separated. In fact, it is almost like dividing a family. However, relying on Jia Mu's favoritism and Wang Xifeng's greed and stupidity, she intervened in the affairs of the house and actually caused Wang Xifeng to have a sidetrack.
It’s a good thing.
The eldest master has no interest in paying attention to the struggle inside the Rongguo Mansion.
But there was one thing he absolutely couldn't tolerate. Wang Xifeng kept Sister Qiao in his hands and refused to let the elder take care of her. Instead, he left the little girl under the care of a wet nurse and his maids.
Why, don’t you despise the way the eldest father raises his children?
To be honest, the Wang family's parenting methods are a joke in the capital. It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. As a result, she has raised a bunch of stupid people who are extremely vicious and illiterate!
The eldest master has spoken, how can Lian Er have the courage to cheat?
Not long after, Lian Er came over with a cute little girl about four or five years old, pink and tender, who was brought up by the elder. Seeing his hidden displeasure, it was obvious that the process of having a child was not easy.
smoothly.
Behind him, there were two wet nurses and four maids, who looked nervous, as if they were afraid that the elder would hurt the little girl. It was really inexplicable.
The little girl Qiaojie's body is a little weak. Judging from the way she peeks at the nanny behind her from time to time, it is obvious that she has formed some kind of dependence on the nanny.
Lian Er and Wang Xifeng are such a bastard couple, and they didn't even notice the child's reaction!
Fortunately, there are Yingchun and Jia Cong. Although they are one generation different from Qiao Jie, they are not much different in age. The three children soon played together. Qiao Jie gave out crisp and charming smiles from time to time and seemed extremely happy.
How long did it take for the nurse to be forgotten?
"Master, I'm really sorry. I'm late because I'm too busy with business in the house!"
Not long after, Wang Xifeng came running in all her splendor. Seeing Sister Qiao with a happy smile on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and then apologized to the elder.
"It doesn't matter, I know that the affairs in the mansion are complicated!"
The old man waved his hands indifferently, looked at Sister Qiao who was having a good time, and said leisurely: "I am happy to have Sister Qiao with me!"
The smile on Wang Xifeng's face froze, and she followed the elder's words and said with a smile: "It is Sister Qiao's blessing to be educated by the elder himself, but the child is young and weak, so it is better not to touch the ground!"
"You don't know this!"
The elder chuckled and said leisurely: "Children can only have strong bones if they run more and move more. I have been carrying Yingchun and Gong'er for so long, has Lian's wife ever heard of these two boys getting sick?"
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng was stunned. She carefully recalled that she had never heard of the rumors about Yingchun and Jia Cong being ill. Looking at the light steps and rosy faces of these two guys, it was obvious that their bodies and bones were extremely healthy.
"Second daughter-in-law Lian, since you are busy every day, and I have experience in taking care of Yingchun and Cong'er, would you like Sister Qiao to live with me for a while?"
The eldest man is not someone who is willing to forcibly marry someone else's mother and daughter. But if he said so in person, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but object, otherwise an unfilial label would directly weigh her down.
On one side, Wang Xifeng was caught off guard by the request made by the eldest master. On the other side, Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second eldest son, hesitated for a long time after returning, and finally went to the study of the second master Zheng to ask for an audience.
