"Third Young Master, today the whole family of the Second Fang is out to visit the Wang family!"
In the evening, the remote courtyard of the General's Mansion became a little more lively. The little maid Ling Que was busy with her work and gossiped: "I heard that the Second Mistress was also going, but the Second Master Lian was not free for a while, so he didn't follow.
go together!"
Jia Cong sneered, what do you mean by not being free?
It's just that the elder gave him a bad look and Lian Er understood the situation and made an excuse.
After all, although Wang Ziteng has a high position, he does not have much power. He has limited influence on Lian Er's official career, and there is no need to come to him to please him.
In addition, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang, the aunt and nephew, have not dealt with each other very well recently.
The news that Lian Er was promoted to the fifth rank of the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Justice finally spread, causing all kinds of sourness in the second room.
Not to mention the envy and jealousy in Mr. Zheng's heart, Mrs. Wang was not in a good mood either.
Finally, with the promotion of the second master of the government, he gained the pleasant status of the fifth rank. In the blink of an eye, his niece Wang Xifeng caught up with him and became his equal.
We had to meet each other every day. It was obvious that Mrs. Wang was in a terrible mood. With her temperament, it was inevitable that she would have to do something.
Even a transparent person like Jia Cong could faintly hear some rumors in the house that were not very friendly to Lian Er, and they obviously had something to do with Mrs. Wang.
However, these rumors did not spread widely, let alone spread outside. Needless to say, this must be Wang Xifeng's handiwork.
Jia Cong was naturally happy to see this as a joke. Once the aunt and nephew did not deal with it, the previous situation of jointly controlling the affairs of the inner house would completely disappear.
The most important thing is that the aunt and nephew are facing each other. At least until one party is completely suppressed, the fight is inevitable.
If nothing else, this is definitely a good thing for a big house!
It's not that you want to fight for control of Rongguo Mansion, but you don't want to be peeped by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark at all times. Wouldn't it be nice to live a peaceful life?
At least, Jia Cong has no interest in participating in the fight in the mansion.
But the problem is that once Dafang is targeted and becomes passive, he, the bastard of Dafang, will never have an easy life.
Right now, what he is most concerned about is the promotion of his new book "The Richest Man in the World" and the possible strong rebound.
The reason why the market is relatively calm is mainly because the content of the new book is currently being released, and it does not involve a particularly exciting plot, otherwise it would have caused a stir long ago.
But then, as the pig-footed Liu Dafu became the third person in the Salt Gang, he gradually came into contact with the core secrets of the Salt Gang, and naturally some more explosive content was involved.
Not only Jia Cong, but also the Crown Prince of Chu, who had previously patted his chest and pledged his full support, also knew that there might be a first wave of rebound, and was mentally prepared. Recently, he had frequently met at Huiyou Bookstore to discuss various countermeasures.
At this time, I heard that the prince had returned to the capital, that the second house had come to visit together, and that Wang Xifeng might have a conflict with Mrs. Wang. It was just for fun to relax.
"Don't spread random messages. If the second sister-in-law hears about it, she'll be in trouble!"
With a smile and a warning, Jia Cong ignored the little maid's rising little mouth's protest and asked the wet nurse Li, who had been silent, "Mother Li, is there anything else happening in the house?"
If we really want to say that she is well-informed, the nanny Li is obviously much better than the little maid, and the information she has gathered is also more reliable.
"There is news from the Second Wife that this time the Second Wife has become ruthless and must ask my uncle, Wang Ziteng, to help the Second Master get promoted!"
This news is interesting. It seems that the second wife, Mrs. Wang, was driven into panic by the cold war between Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng for more than half a year. At the same time, she was also stimulated by Lian Er's promotion.
If the second political master is promoted again, he will be a fourth-grade official, the top person among middle-level officials, one step away from being qualified to go to the court to discuss politics.
This is definitely a good thing for Rongguo Mansion!
The reason why the Rongguo Mansion declined so quickly was because there were no Jia clan members in the court, and because of the lack of information, they were marginalized over time.
This is as important as the position of public opinion and whether there is a channel for speaking out!
As long as someone in the Rongguo Mansion is qualified to go to court, it will be like having a channel for public opinion, and the situation will immediately become different.
At least, things that involve or endanger the Rongguo Mansion can be known and counterattacked immediately, or ways can be found to resolve them.
Compared with the original work of Red Mansions, this is definitely a rare improvement!
Of course, this is also the result of Jia Cong's persuasion, and he will not deny this.
Just as he said when he fanned the flames with the eldest master, there are quite a few idiots occupying the toilet in the court. They are all occupying seats anyway, so why not ask the second master to occupy them?
As long as the second master of the government can become a third-rank official in the court, the Rongguo Mansion's ability to resist risks will be greatly enhanced, instead of being frightened and overwhelmed by a mere long history of the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion like in the original work.
"Third Young Master, it is said that the old lady is somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Lin!"
Nanny Li revealed another piece of news and whispered: "It's because of Master Bao and some other things. It seems that Master Lin is unwilling to cooperate. The old lady is not very happy!"
When she said this, her expression was quite disapproving, as if she was also dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai's ignorance, and she didn't know where she got the confidence from?
Jia Cong also heard the complete story of this matter from the elder.
Lin Ruhai had met the current and previous empresses, so he found a day to visit the old lady and showed full respect.
The old lady got the idea, so she simply relied on her old man and asked Lin Ruhai to take Jia Baoyu as her disciple, teach him the way of the imperial examination, and take over Lin Ruhai's vast network of contacts.
If Phoenix Egg is studious and motivated, Lin Ruhai will naturally not refuse!
Unfortunately, during the few days of training, through old housekeeper Lin's inquiring, he had a clear understanding of the internal situation of Rongguo Mansion, so he naturally looked down on Phoenix Egg.
If nothing else is said, Lin Ruhai would not accept him as his disciple if he always dismissed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty as "stupid people". Wouldn't he be making himself unhappy?
On the other hand, the old lady also hopes that Lin Ruhai will keep in step with the four major Jinling families and work closely with the four major Jinling families in the court.
This is simply impossible!
Not to mention that Lin Ruhai is very opinionated, and his background as a civil servant and the four major families of Jinling are not the same. Not to mention that he is still in the distrust stage at this time, how can he act recklessly? Isn't he asking for trouble?
The old lady is used to keeping her word, or she has been praised by everyone in the Rongguo Mansion as a self-centered person. She simply cannot tolerate the younger generation not obeying her, even if there is even a hint of such an idea.
Then, the disobedient Lin Ruhai will naturally not be popular.
The old lady's attitude is the weathervane of Rongguo Mansion, and even the nanny Li is affected...
I have a good recommendation. I will update one more chapter. Don’t expect a chapter to have many words for the public chapter. The first chapter will be 3,000 words after it is released. This is my habit.
