Lian Erduan was sitting in the government office, feeling his face was burning and swollen.
There is a name card on the table in front of him, which reads: "First Class Divine Power General".
And the so-called 'first-class mighty general' is his great master.
This famous post was sent by his immediate superior, Shuntian Prefecture Yin, who had also recently taken office.
Although the man's face was expressionless, Lian Er always felt that there was ridicule in his eyes.
But he couldn't say anything harsh, he had to send the person away with a smile on his face, forget about the grievance in his heart.
The reason is the name card on the desk!
This famous post from the great master was originally sent to Fu Yin, hoping that the other party could release Zhou Rui, who was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion Prison.
The governor immediately knew that there was something wrong. It was clear that the eldest master's legitimate son, Lian Er, was in the Yamen, and he was also the second-in-command of the Yamen. His power should not be underestimated, and he was fully capable of releasing the imprisoned criminal Zhou Rui privately.
As long as outsiders are not alarmed, the government officials will not talk too much. If there are too many such things, they can't control them even if they want to.
However, the fact that Rongguo Mansion sent the famous post to Fu Yin could only mean that Lian Er did not want to make money.
Thinking of the confession document that was presented with Zhou Rui when he came, Shuntian Prefecture Yin thought that there must be something wrong in it. He did not want to wade into such troubled waters for no reason.
No matter how Lian Er and the elder got along, the famous post was sent to Lian Er, and what happened after that had nothing to do with Fu Yin.
Lian Er was completely dumbfounded and felt angry and angry in his heart.
He naturally understood who sent the name card to Shuntian Prefecture Yin. The elder was drunk and dreaming all day long, how could he have time to care about the life and death of a foreign steward?
only……
When I picked up the name card on the desk, I felt it weighed a thousand pounds.
I still don’t know how many things the second wife has done with the eldest master’s name?
hehe……
I still remember that during lunch, Jia Cong reminded him to be careful about the second wife making trouble, but he didn't expect that his words came true so quickly.
This time, I have to do something even if I say nothing.
The remaining good feelings towards the second wife in my heart have basically disappeared.
If you don't deal with the big boss's reputation, you may be blamed for how many times you will be blamed in the future.
If at a critical moment, such as when he was promoted to a third-rank official, and someone used this to make excuses, he would be like a dumb man eating coptis, unable to express his suffering.
When I was about to leave the Yamen, I went to my immediate superior, Shuntian Fuyin, to express my gratitude, and then I left the Yamen with my heart full of thoughts.
"Oh, Brother Lian, what a coincidence!"
At the intersection of Ningrong Street, Lian Er suddenly heard Jia Cong's joking voice. He suddenly turned around and said angrily: "You kid, please speak more seriously, don't be so weird and make people upset!"
"Tsk tsk..."
The smile on Jia Cong's face did not weaken at all. He waved his hand and called Huan San back home. He walked around Lian Er and the horse a few times and said with a smile: "Why do I smell so much gunpowder on Brother Lian Er?"
"
"You are a dog, and your nose is so sharp!"
Lian Er simply dismounted and walked, and said angrily: "Why do you have time to talk to me when you have free time? Go back home for dinner if you have nothing to do!"
"Brother Lian is very angry. I'm afraid there will be a fuss in the house!"
Jia Cong didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Has what I said at noon come true? How does Brother Lian plan to deal with it?"
"You kid..."
Lian Er's expression changed for a while, and finally he sighed helplessly and said: "You guessed it right, do you have any good suggestions?"
The tone of the last sentence suddenly changed, with a depressed look full of asking for advice.
"Let me tell you first, what is going on?"
Jia Cong didn't expect that he actually had the potential of a crow's mouth, but he couldn't guess what trouble Lian Er encountered.
He glanced left and right, and drove the boy who was following him three feet away to ensure that no one else would eavesdrop. Then he briefly recounted the embarrassing scene in the Yamen in the afternoon.
Although he had already had an afternoon buffer, Lian Er still couldn't hold back his anger when talking about this matter. In the end, he shouted angrily: "This is simply unreasonable!"
"Then what else is there to say? Let's report it to the elder!"
Jia Cong was a little stunned. He really didn't expect Mrs. Wang to act so wantonly. Can the eldest master's name card be handed out casually? It was considered a favor.
If you accidentally get involved in something, it will really be like mud falling into your crotch. It is either shit or shit.
Hearing this, Lian Er was a little hesitant and said uncertainly: "Do you really want to do this?"
Once the big boss gets into trouble, it's no joke.
Of course, this is not what he is worried about, but that once the eldest man confronts the old lady, he will probably give in. This is what worries Lian Er the most.
"Then Brother Lian, go find the second wife by yourself. I believe the second wife will give you a chance to speak. As for what will happen next, it's hard to say!"
"No, I'm worried that the eldest man won't be able to withstand the old lady's pressure. Won't he be embarrassed by that time?"
"This is simple. What we should consider now is whether the eldest master's name card has been abused by the second wife and has some unknown stains. As long as the matter of the name card can be solved, the second wife can't care about it.
No matter what, we don’t care about our big house!”
"I'm afraid this won't be easy, right?"
"If it's easy, do you still need the eldest master to take action in person? After all, the second brother Lian is a dignified fourth-grade official, but he is much better than the second master Zheng, who is a young minister of Honglu Temple who has a similar job!"
"Come on, you kid, don't provoke me, that's all!"
That night, the eldest man arrived at Rongqing Hall angrily, making a fuss and demanding an explanation from Wang, otherwise the matter would never end.
It is said, just rumored, that the eldest man was almost throwing a tantrum in Rongqing Hall, and he must make sure that the second wife made it clear about the title card of the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Wang did not expect that Shuntian Prefecture Yin was so timid as a mouse that he would hand over the famous postal card to Lian Er, and was caught off guard.
But she also has a reason. After all, the eldest master is a Xijue, at least on the surface he is the face of Rongguo Mansion.
However, the head of the Rongguo Mansion is the Second Master of the Government. Whether it is inviting guests or asking people to do things at home, the name card delivered cannot be from the Second Master of the Government. It is not shameful enough.
This is also the reason why the eldest master's name card is in the hands of Mrs. Wang, the wife of the housekeeper. There is also a reason why the name card is handed over to Shuntian Prefecture Yin this time.
The eldest master doesn't care about this. He only uses his name for any nonsense. He doesn't know how many unknown favors he owes as the client.
What should he do when people come to him and ask him to return the favor? He must clearly explain where these famous cards have been delivered and what he has done.
Mrs. Wang remained silent and had no intention of answering. She was obviously guilty.
When the elder saw this, his arrogance became even more arrogant, and he directly stated that he would take back his personal name card and not allow Mrs. Wang to use his name card to 'do anything wrong' in the future.
Mrs. Wang naturally refused and directly asked the old lady for help.
So, the old lady officially came to punish the old man...
These rumors were all discovered by the little gossip sparrow when Jia Cong was dining in the main hall of the General's Mansion the next morning.
Tsk…
The old man was indeed unreliable, and he immediately knelt down when he faced the old lady.
He clearly had a big handle on Mrs. Wang, but in the end he couldn't take full credit. He just transferred the right to use his personal name card from Mrs. Wang to the old lady.
Although the old lady would not trick the eldest man normally, at the critical moment, the eldest man would definitely be the first to be abandoned.
Obviously, the elder does not have a deep understanding of this, and I am afraid he will have to deal with it in the future.
As for Zhou Rui's matter, Lian Er managed to escape after all the troubles made by the elder, and Mrs. Wang couldn't bring it up again.
Needless to say, Mrs. Wang will definitely have some means to win over people secretly, but Lian Er can't control that much, as long as she doesn't forcibly involve him.
…
The commotion in Rongguo Mansion was naturally witnessed by Prince Zhongshun who was watching closely.
"Jia Enhou is indeed a complete waste!"
Prince Zhongshun sneered repeatedly. He never expected that the elder would become so cowardly. It was an eye-opener for him.
Of course, he was even more concerned about the partiality of the old feudal lord of Rongguo Mansion. Under such circumstances, he could still favor the second house, severely suppressing the arrogance of the first house, and the discord between the two houses of Rongguo Mansion would become even more serious.
"An old woman who is greedy for pleasure and just wants to firmly hold the power of Rongguo Mansion. She has average knowledge and ability. If Marquis Jia En is not foolish and filial, how would she have any room to stir up trouble?"
"Your Majesty, shall we continue to target Rongguo Mansion?"
"No need, unless something big happens, if the Rongguo Mansion continues to develop like this, it will only become weaker and weaker, until it completely withdraws from the circle of top nobles in the capital. By then, won't you be able to do whatever you want?"
"My lord, I heard that Jia Cong is planning to write a new book again!"
"Then we can't attract this guy's attention anymore. I don't want to be the object of this guy's writing anymore. It's really too much!"
"Understood, my subordinates will send someone to keep an eye on this kid. Once there is any new news, it will be reported back to the palace as soon as possible!"
"That's it. I didn't expect that we would also help the big house of Rongguo Mansion this time. It's really unlucky to think about it!"
Prince Zhongshun stopped staring closely. Lian Er felt the pressure on his body loosen, but he did not dare to relax at all.
Half a month later, Zhou Rui was sentenced to eight hundred miles of exile. Unless he met today or when the emperor issued a general amnesty to the world, he might not be able to come back in a short time.
Mrs. Wang lost a trustworthy and capable foreign steward to help with the affairs outside the government. In addition, all the personal records of the eldest master were handed over, which caused a lot of losses for a while. She was busy for a while.
Lian Er escaped from this incident smoothly, took the opportunity to develop a tacit understanding with Shuntian Fuyin, and gradually established a firm foothold in Shuntian Fuyin.
However, at this moment, all the eyes of the entire Ning Rong Mansion were elsewhere...
