Jia Cong naturally didn't know about the conversation between Lian Er and his wife. Of course, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care too much about it.
If someone who is not afraid of death really jumps out, he won't mind letting him go to Huangzhuang to "struggle". As for whether he can come back safely, it is not something that Jia Cong should consider.
After taking the little maid to the main hall of the General's Mansion, Wang Shanbao's family came over and said with a smile: "Third Young Master, my wife asked you not to leave in a hurry. I have something to say later!"
Jia Cong nodded in agreement. The relationship between him and Mrs. Xing was maintained well, and he did not want to destroy this harmonious atmosphere easily.
After dinner soon, he asked the little maid to go back first and waited alone in the main hall for half an hour. Mrs. Xing finally came back from Rongqing Hall.
Tsk!
The old lady is really good at troubles. Mrs. Xing is almost forty now, and she has to go to Rongqing Hall to serve three meals a day.
It wouldn't be a big deal if there was only an old lady, but with a bunch of juniors sitting and standing, it would definitely be uncomfortable. Of course, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu were also quite embarrassed.
To say that Mrs. Xing didn't care about Yingchun, without this reason, even if she beat Jia Cong to death, she wouldn't believe it.
It can only be said that in order to show her authority in the government, the old lady dug a deep hole and caused great harm to others.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Mrs. Xing finished her dinner and called him over to enjoy tea and talk.
"Many people are concerned about the Imperial Manor in your hands!"
Mrs. Xing got straight to the point, looking warm and concerned: "What is the situation over there at Huangzhuang?"
If she hadn't seen Jia Cong's 'ability', she probably wouldn't have the patience to speak.
I guess you are one of those "many people"!
Although he understood in his heart, he was not very angry, it was just human nature.
Regarding Mrs. Xing, he naturally wanted to speak straightforwardly and plainly, about the gift of the Prince of Chu to Huangzhuang, and how he had noticed that there was a problem with Huangzhuang's harvest before.
In order to deal with Huangzhuang Zhuangtou, he specially invited the Prince of Chu to sit in charge, and finally captured Huangzhuang Zhuangtou, but even so he did not dare to send him to the official directly, but sent him to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it clear.
Speaking of this, Jia Cong showed a "depressed" look and said helplessly that all the small stewards in the Imperial Village were related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In order to suppress these guys, he had to ask the Prince of Chu to send a confidant to serve as the head of the village.
Mrs. Xing was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she also knew that the situation at Huangzhuang was extremely complicated. Jia Cong could not speak at all. The power was firmly in the hands of a group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was not an ordinary difficulty to fight for it.
She immediately gave up all her thoughts, thinking that if the people were blocked, it would be even harder for her to come out alive.
This person is also a reality. Since he has no way to get involved, he will never mention it. He encourages Jia Cong with a few words and lets him go.
Anyway, she didn't lack money at this time. The business run by her two brothers at home brought in a lot of money every year, which was enough for her to stand upright and gain a foothold in the General's Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. There was no need to take risks.
"Madam, is the third young master exaggerating?"
From the beginning to the end, the Wang Shanbao family always stood behind Mrs. Xing. After Jia Cong left, they couldn't help but speak.
"Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is probably basically true!"
Mrs. Xing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Huangzhuang is full of people related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We can't afford to provoke them at all, even if the master comes forward!"
Wang Shanbao's family was speechless. They didn't have the courage or confidence to ask her to confront those connected with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Speaking of which, the Xue family who lives in Lixiangyuan are also related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do they have to treat the old lady politely even if they don't see her?
Of course, this is a bit biased, but it remains true.
By the way, Xue Pan also came back from Lixiangyuan. He talked with his mother and sister about the various things in Huangzhuang. He shook his head and sighed: "It is not easy at all to manage Huangzhuang well. It almost made us younger brothers run away."
leg!"
"So, Brother Cong has completely controlled Huangzhuang?"
Aunt Xue was surprised and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy in the future!"
"Why is it so difficult? Who dares to explode and stab me?"
Xue Pan's eyes widened angrily and he said fiercely: "If anyone dares to disobey, he will be sent directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Zhuangzi on the frontier!"
The mother and daughter were startled by the murderous tone of this man. Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "It's not the steward of the palace, but the people in the mansion..."
Then, he recounted the recent restlessness in the house and what he said, and finally shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Brother Cong can't stand it!"
"hehe……"
Xue Pan laughed indifferently and said disdainfully: "If anyone dares to reach out, just let them pass!"
Seeing that her mother and sister were puzzled, she suddenly felt a sense of superiority in her knowledge, and said with a smile: "With the boss and the Zhuangtou invited by Prince Chu's Palace in charge, those little stewards don't dare to mess around. If the guys from Rongguo Palace are allowed to
If you go to seize the class and seize power, you will die without a burial place!"
"It can't be so serious!"
, Aunt Xue said in surprise: "At worst, just let it go. Is it possible that those little stewards of Huangzhuang can still kill them all?"
"Does mother think that because of the greed of the families in Rongguo Mansion, they will let it go easily when the situation turns bad?"
Xue Pan said disdainfully: "They won't give up easily without breaking their head and bleeding and paying a heavy price!"
"Fortunately, your aunt has been troubled recently and has no time to pay attention to this!"
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on her rich face.
"What's wrong, aunt is in trouble?"
Xue Pan spoke subconsciously without taking it to heart at all.
"Isn't Zhou Rui sentenced to exile? Your aunt doesn't have a useful and trustworthy steward. It's the harvest season recently. She's so busy that she can't think about anything else."
Xue Pan was noncommittal about this and had nothing to say.
"Can't you help your aunt?"
Seeing her son's cold attitude, Aunt Xue was a little dissatisfied and suggested, "How about sending some capable shopkeepers over to help?"
"I'm afraid my aunt won't be happy!"
Xue Pan said indifferently: "If my aunt doesn't object, I don't care!"
"What nonsense are you kidding? How could your aunt object to it?"
After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she hurried to Mrs. Wang's place, ready to help Mrs. Wang overcome the current difficulties.
It's just a pity...
Leaving in good times and returning in bad mood, this is what happened to Aunt Xue.
Fortunately, Xue Pan had already gone out to drink with friends, otherwise his face would have been even worse.
"What's wrong with mother?"
Xue Baochai naturally saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Your brother really got it right, but your aunt didn't agree!"
"Why is this?"
"How did I know? Forget it, don't mention it again!"
Not to mention that Aunt Xue's good intentions did not receive a positive response, and her self-esteem and face were hurt. Mrs. Wang also had troubles that she could not tell.
She didn't mind asking the Xue family's accountant to help sort out the complicated accounts. Unfortunately, many of the accounts were hidden from the light, so she had to deal with them on her own without any help from outsiders.
Once you are discovered, how will you show off your wife's money in front of Aunt Xue in the future?
Even if they are biological sisters, they will not have the slightest respect for a sister who is a traitor. I am afraid they will immediately despise her to death.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang could only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood. Even if she was deceived by the managers below and suffered heavy losses, she did not dare to make too much publicity.
This was also the main reason why she didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Cong's palace, although she was quite moved to say it at one time.
Of course, she had a hard time, and she couldn't let Feng Lazi, her niece, have a hard time!
As a result, Feng Lazi became very busy, busy with all kinds of trivial things all day long, physically and mentally exhausted but enjoying it.
For Feng Lazi, who loves power, the busier she is, the greater her power is. This is her ideal life.
Until one day, he suddenly fainted and became red, and gave birth to an almost-formed baby, so he was forced to recuperate in the yard.
But even so, she only felt sad for a while about the miscarriage of her unborn child, and then immediately turned around and actively engaged in the affairs of the government.
In such a crazy state, not to mention Lian Er who lost an almost-formed son, Ping'er who was busy all the time and had to deal with household chores and take care of Feng Lazi was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.
"Grandma, you'd better take a good rest. It won't be too late to come out and manage the affairs of the house when your body and bones are healed!"
"No, I won't be willing to completely seize the power of the house's internal affairs while my good aunt has no time to take care of her!"
Lian Er, exhausted both physically and mentally, stood outside the door with a livid face. The little maids around him were all silent and trembling.
Crazy, Feng Lazi is simply crazy!
Lian Er turned around and left with fire in his eyes. Ping'er later found out that Lian Er had returned and left, but he didn't dare to tell the crazy Feng Lazi.
"Third brother, brother, I am suffering!"
In a teahouse not far from Huiyou Bookstore, Lian Er poured bitter water toward Jia Cong opposite him, pouring out all the things that had happened in those days, and even did not hide his dissatisfaction with Feng Lazi.
Tsk…
Looking at Lian Er who looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot, Jia Cong didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Wang's fighting methods were very powerful. She just handed over the internal and external affairs belonging to the government's public accounts to Lian Er and Feng Lazi, and then directly killed a formed baby, and at the same time, she beat the couple to death to relieve their fatigue.
Not to mention the tedious internal affairs of the back house, Lian Er also had to intervene in the property and store income that belonged to the government's public accounts while handling official affairs at the yamen.
The shops in the city are okay, and they can be dealt with slowly after going to the Yamen.
But the farm outside the city was difficult to manage. It was too far away to take care of it, but he had to take care of it.
As I said before, the farm stewards below are more and more arrogant. If they don't go and check the accounts in person, this year's harvest may simply disappear, and the government will have to cut rents and interest rates to "appease the tenants."
In the past, in order to make money, he had often 'colluded' with those farm bosses. Now, naturally, he would not just watch the interests belonging to the Rongguo Mansion being taken away by a group of farm bosses...
