After dealing with Mrs. Xing, we had a sumptuous dinner in the main hall, and then leisurely returned to the small residential courtyard.
Although Mrs. Xing is slow to respond to business matters, this is not a bad thing for him. Being able to show up frequently is very useful for Jia Cong to maintain a stable life in the General's Mansion.
I have traveled through time for more than half a year and have not encountered any headaches or troubles, which is the best proof.
Compared to the bustling second bedroom, the eldest bedroom is much more peaceful. Although there may be some troubles from time to time, mainly because the eldest man's wives are restless, overall it is quite peaceful.
At least, that's the case for Jia Cong!
The Rongguo Mansion is like a big sieve. The servants don't know what to say, so they can easily find out any information.
The little maid Lingque, the boy Wangcai, and the nanny Li around him all told him some useful and useless news from time to time.
How should I put it, it feels to Jia Cong that it is a messed up word.
Standing on the top floor of Rongguo Mansion, the old lady and the second wife, Mrs. Wang, all put on the faces of Bodhisattvas, aloof and unconventional.
The next person below belongs to the housekeeper Wang Xifeng. Unfortunately, although her methods are good and her abilities are acceptable, she cannot withstand the completely loose atmosphere in the entire Rongguo Mansion.
What she can target is the housewives, who are basically old ladies and second wives. How to manage them?
Every time he was so angry that he yelled and wanted to take action, but every time he was blocked by the old lady and the second wife. His prestige, not to mention sweeping the floor, quickly declined.
She seems to have unlimited glory, but she is actually very frustrated. The old lady and the second wife really only use her as a housekeeper, and they will not really let her have the power of the house.
She may know it, or she may not know it, but she is just greedy for power and has a flamboyant personality, and she simply cannot extricate herself.
Through reports from people around him, Jia Cong knew that those maids and women had various unpleasant descriptions of Wang Xifeng. This was the result of nanny Li helping to modify the wording.
Wang Xifeng couldn't control the situation, so the servants below were naturally in all kinds of chaos.
The four great butlers, as well as the great butler and so on, are all extremely wealthy owners.
The ladies in charge who have a little bit of power, as well as the so-called respectable ladies, all dressed in gold, silver and silk, all suck the blood of the Rongguo Mansion.
The eldest maids are all like young ladies from rich families, and their lives should not be too easy.
By the way, every time I mentioned the chaos in the second room, whether it was the nanny, the maid, or the servant, they all looked envious and jealous, wishing they could take their place.
It's just a pity that Jia Cong has no idea of rising. He is just a bastard. If he wants to live a prosperous life, he has to be careful about his management, let alone his servants. He is still far from being famous.
Even the second room, he had never been there since he traveled through time.
The main reason is that they are afraid of trouble. The eldest man has a grudge, but the old lady and the others completely ignore it. In other words, they just recognize each other during the Chinese New Year and worship ancestors.
Of course, Jia Cong has just been hanging out in the main house, so it's not good to dance too much. Otherwise, it would be good to take advantage of the time of kowtow to pay New Year greetings and get some exquisite silver naked women.
It's a pity that he didn't even have a chance to come in and kowtow.
By the way, the second room is really lively, and all kinds of trivial things are known to the whole house, which often affects the sensitive nerves of the old lady and the second wife.
Little girl Lin Daiyu only showed a little temper for a few times, but in the end she became a model of "sharp and mean" in the house.
This is also the main reason why Jia Cong is not willing to provoke anyone there, and has never been to Erfang's site even once after traveling through time.
Damn, even a seven-year-old girl is treated like this, let alone a bastard with no status like him. I'm afraid he will have to call a housekeeper grandpa when he sees her.
Apart from other things, my younger brother Jia Huan has suffered a lot. How can he be reconciled when he is involved in the matter of Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg?
In just half a year, because of his own writing and because of Aunt Zhao's involvement, the second wife punished him by copying Buddhist scriptures eight times.
From this, we can also see the viciousness of the second wife!
Copying books is not such an embarrassing thing. For half a year, Jia Huan followed his classmates in the school to copy books and sell them for money, and got several taels of silver in exchange.
The key point is that once you are exposed to Buddhist scriptures too much, your temperament may change due to the influence. Not to mention that Jia Huan is still a six-year-old child and has no ability to distinguish at all.
That is to say, this kid has an out-of-touch temperament. Otherwise, under the influence of Buddhist scriptures, he is likely to be directly abolished, and it is still the kind that outsiders cannot grasp.
Every time he was released after copying Buddhist scriptures, Jia Cong would take the boy to play on the street outside. He didn't want the first boy he took in to have mental problems.
I heard that the Jinling Xue family has gone to Beijing and will come to visit them soon. Then the second room will be even more lively.
Listening to the words of the little maid Lingque, the second room has begun to prepare for the arrival of the Xue family, and there are many rumors about the Xue family's wealth.
Due to all these reasons, Jia Cong avoided the second room like a snake or a scorpion.
There was basically no interaction. He was completely transparent there. Whether it was the old lady, the second wife, or the maid below, they basically never mentioned Jia Cong.
Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, for some unknown reason, have basically never been to Dafang.
Even Lin Daiyu and Jia Cong only met once on the day they first arrived, and never seen each other again after that.
Anyway, there seems to be an invisible barrier between the first room and the second room, blocking contact and communication between the two rooms.
It is not clear what the eldest master and Mrs. Xing are thinking, but Jia Cong is enjoying his leisure time. If he accidentally gets involved in the phoenix egg incident, it will be difficult to escape easily.
After waving his hand and telling the boy to go away, Jia Cong braved the hot midsummer sunset and the hot air waves to return to his small courtyard.
The nanny Li and the little maid were taking refuge from the summer heat under the eaves. Their foreheads were covered with hot sweat, their cattail fans kept shaking in their hands, and their faces were still ruddy from the heat.
When he saw Jia Cong coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said hello.
"Why are you staying outside the house? Isn't it hot?"
Jia Cong took off his coat and handed it to the maid. There was no trace of sweat on his body. He took the mung bean soup from Mr. Li and asked casually.
"It's so stuffy in the house!"
Li responded casually: "This weather is really too hot!"
Hearing this, Jia Cong stopped moving and asked curiously: "Isn't there an ice rule? Didn't the government issue it?"
"Humph, is there any exception?"
Speaking of this, the nanny Li's face became very ugly, and she said angrily: "That woman in Wang Shanbao's family is not a thing. In addition to the master and his wife, there is also the most favored aunt. Everything is as usual there. The big house is divided.
All the other ice bags that arrived were quietly taken out and sold by her!"
