Chapter 184: People are more popular than dead people
Jia Cong's failure to do his job really made some people in Rong Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.
The pressure on the second house is particularly great. Both Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang are gritting their teeth at the growing momentum of the first house but are helpless.
Lian Er, who is sitting firmly in the fourth rank of Shuntian Prefecture, is enough to give them a headache, and they don't know how to suppress it.
Now there is a thirteen-year-old scholar Jia Cong, who is under a lot of pressure.
The husband and wife's brain waves were in the same frequency band at this time, and it was related to the power of the Rong Mansion, and Dafang was absolutely not allowed to get involved.
But the fact is that Dafang is gaining momentum, and the direction of the government has begun to change. If Jia Cong, a concubine, is able to gain more momentum through the examinations, no one knows whether Dafang can successfully seize the power of the family!
Mr. Zheng is doing nothing as usual. Anyway, with the old lady and Mrs. Wang taking action, he can just sit back and enjoy his achievements, and it will not really harm his interests.
Mrs. Wang has indeed prepared various means. I believe that the old lady will definitely support her. Baoyu is here.
In fact, this time she planned to teach Huansan, the restless bastard, an unforgettable lesson, telling him that there were some things that he was not qualified to think about.
Unexpectedly, Jia Cong, a concubine of a wealthy family who had a great future in the imperial examination, actually wrote without doing his job and stated publicly that he would not take part in the imperial examination before he was 20 years old.
After Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, she ordered her confidants from Zhou Rui's family to say fiercely: "Publish it to me, saying that this little beast Jia Cong swore an oath in front of the old lady. I don't believe that he dares to ignore his filial piety and ruin his future!
"
Zhou Rui's family was surprised and said hesitantly: "Madam, is this too much? The old lady..."
"Don't worry, it's just a rumor, the old lady won't care!"
Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "For the sake of Baoyu's future, if that little beast Jia Cong dares to show up, the old lady will dare to confirm the rumors!"
The Zhou Rui family members stopped talking and nodded quickly in agreement. These were all habitual and familiar methods.
"Tell me, is that little beast trying to spread suspicion?"
Mrs. Wang was still worried and asked directly: "Do you want to use other methods?"
"Madam, I think it's not advisable to act rashly for the time being!"
Zhou Rui's family persuaded: "I'm afraid not, the big house is also watching us closely, we can't let anything go!"
Mrs. Wang was suddenly startled and nodded to show her understanding.
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Zhou Rui's family member then smiled and said: "I have inquired carefully, Brother Cong from the first house is indeed writing a new book, and it is being released in major restaurants recently!"
"Hmph, this little beast is quite capable!"
Mrs. Wang's expression softened and she sneered: "I don't know where he comes from with so many ideas. Don't let your guard down. You must keep a close eye on him!"
Zhou Rui's family nodded repeatedly. After exiting, they realized that the clothes on their backs were wet with cold sweat and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
The second wife is really difficult to serve!
Especially in the past two years, she has been so moody that even those around her feel a little overwhelmed.
After her husband was sentenced to exile, Zhou Rui's family suddenly became more cautious. They no longer relied on the second wife's trust to act arrogantly and offend others, for fear of accidentally following in the footsteps of her husband Zhou Rui.
If she also fell, the only daughter would probably die.
As for what the second wife said about getting Zhou Rui back, she didn't believe it.
Without her husband Zhou Rui, the second wife has no trustworthy and capable housekeeper outside. It can be said that she has suffered heavy losses in the past two years.
Even she, a servant who didn't know much about accounts and farm store management, saw that there was something very wrong with the accounts sent over the past two years, but the second wife didn't dare to speak out, so she could only be mute and unable to speak out about her suffering.
In order to remedy the problem of private housing accounts that may become more serious, the second wife wants to get Zhou Rui back, which is indeed an urgent need.
only……
The second wife has been waiting for the general amnesty to catch people, instead of using the power of the second master of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng, which seems very insincere.
After seeing this clearly, Zhou Rui's family became completely at peace.
At the moment, she really doesn't have the courage to confront the big house and add obstacles to the big house.
Not to mention that Dafang is gaining momentum and looks promising at first glance. Now that I have offended him, I don’t know if I will be liquidated in the future. I have to leave a way out for my only daughter and myself, right?
Second Master Lian, who has already secured his position as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, is not easy to mess with. Third Master Jia Cong, who was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen and is famous in the capital, is not necessarily easy to mess with either.
Apart from other things, the talented young men under this guy are hard to deal with even if you think about it, they even have greater potential than Mr. Lian.
As the saying goes, "One good man has three gangs." Lian Erye looks very powerful, but unfortunately he is alone and always gives people a weak impression.
Master Cong was different. As a clan leader, he almost wiped out all the ambitious children of the Jia family and vassal families. Even the two young princes of the Shi family were following behind.
Over time, wouldn’t it become a situation where there is strength in numbers?
Second Master Bao only likes to play with the girls. Even Lan Geer, who is supposed to be the same as him, has become the younger brother of Third Master Cong. How will he fight with Third Master Cong in the future?
As a son of a very powerful family in the mansion, he may not know much about the situation at the upper levels, but because of his special concern for Mr. Cong, he is also very familiar with the situation of clan studies, but the more he
I understand that the heavier my heart becomes.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a joke to ask her to completely offend Da Fang to death without even leaving any escape route?
Among them, there are naturally some factors that are not optimistic about Mrs. Wang and the second generation's children. It is really irritating to compare people with each other.
Mrs. Wang's private property has suffered heavy losses in the past two years, but her inability to do anything directly exposed her weak nature.
At least the management ability can only be described as a mess.
But when it comes to fighting in the inner house, Mrs. Wang's methods are average. Until now, she has not completely brought Mr. Zheng back to the main courtyard, which is simply embarrassing.
In other words, the Rongguo Mansion has a strong foundation and can be poached by Mrs. Wang at will. Otherwise, if it had to rely on Mrs. Wang's ability to manage the affairs of the house, the Rongguo Mansion would probably be so poor that it would have to pawn old things to support the family.
This alone is far inferior to Mr. Cong who, with a group of subordinates, managed the Thousand-acre Imperial Manor in a prosperous manner and was even praised by the imperial court.
As time goes by, even the second wife’s private house, which has several gold mountains, cannot withstand the current wear and tear. Is it possible that it will be surpassed by the property in the hands of a junior?
Whenever such "rebellious" thoughts arise, the Zhou Rui family has the urge to package their daughter and son-in-law as gifts for Mr. Cong.
It's just a pity that apparently her husband's exile has had a huge impact on the Zhou family's reputation, and his son-in-law Leng Zixing is a little disobedient.
Zhou Rui's family sighed in their hearts. There was nothing to say. There must be no problem with her status in Rong Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult for her daughter.
On the other side, Wang Xifeng also heard the news and curled her lips with disdain.
"What happened to grandma?"
Ping'er was very attentive and quickly noticed something strange about Feng Lazi, and asked while busy with his work.
"You're not that good-for-nothing Cong Laosan. He didn't take the imperial examinations seriously and made progress. He even announced that he would not take the examinations before he was twenty, and he only focused on creating new things. I don't know what to say!"
Feng Lazi sneered again and again, but in fact, that was not what he was thinking.
As her husband Lian Er secured his position in Shuntian Mansion, her status in the manor naturally increased and her voice increased greatly.
She was so overjoyed to be called Hao Quan that she hurriedly took action to show off her skills, regardless of her lack of physical fitness.
But Dafang's momentum also increased, which made Feng Lazi feel a little embarrassed.
Before, she was the loyal supporter of the second wife. Now that the first wife is gaining momentum, Mrs. Xing has also gained the right to speak, so naturally she feels a little uneasy.
But at this time, facing Madam Xing, although she was still confident in her heart, she no longer had the arrogance and disdain she had in the past. After all, Madam Xing was her mother-in-law, and she had shown considerable ability in recent years. It was still very difficult to compete in the ring.
And the only supporter behind Mrs. Xing is Jia Cong.
As for the eldest man, he is best described as living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming. As long as his life is comfortable and smooth, he will not pay attention to the fighting in the house.
However, Jia Cong is not easy to deal with either.
This guy stays in the general's mansion all day long and doesn't have much room to do anything.
Also, Lian Er attaches inexplicable importance to Jia Cong. Whenever she mentions suppressing him, Lian Er's reaction is very firm: We must not let the relationship with Cong's third brother go bad.
It's simply baffling. I don't know why Lian Er is so afraid of and flattering Jia Cong?
Not only that, the industry in this guy's hands has also been developing well in recent years, and even Feng Lazi is a little jealous.
Especially this year, Jia Cong, a young boy who passed the exams in one fell swoop and became a scholar, made Feng Lazi very unhappy. Unexpectedly, this boy did not take advantage of the victory to rise up, but instead publicized that he would not take the exam before he was 20 years old, and he was still focused on pursuing the exams.
In Xinshang, he is simply the biggest idiot in the world.
As Feng Lazi’s number one confidant, he naturally knew what Feng Lazi was thinking. Ping’er smiled and said, “Isn’t this good? When I turn twenty, Third Master Cong will also leave the house. No matter what, it won’t hinder Lian Er’s future!
"
"That's right. I'm afraid that kid has such thoughts!"
When saying this, Feng Lazi was a little tangled, as if Jia Cong didn't like the wealth of Rongguo Mansion and didn't bother to compete with Lian Er and her. Such an idea came out of nowhere, but it deeply stimulated this strong man.
Feng spicy food.
When it comes to the contempt chain, she should be the top boss of the contempt chain!
I haven't shown disdain for you, a bastard. Why are you so arrogant and look down on the property in Rongguo Mansion?
At this moment, Feng Lazi's face was very ugly, but she didn't want to really break up with Jia Cong. She was very torn...
