Using Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou in the Three Kingdoms, to compare Lin Ruhai's current situation, the old lady was very worried.
The story of the Three Kingdoms is quite popular in the capital, and it was written by the concubine of the eldest family, so the old lady had naturally heard of it in private. The eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, met a miserable end. She really never thought that the situation of her son-in-law Lin Ruhai had become so dangerous.
Coupled with the fact that the eldest master added more fuel and jealousy to the delicate relationship between the Jia family and the Wang family, the old lady will naturally not give up Lin Ruhai's strong support so easily.
As the person in charge of Rongguo Mansion, he has also experienced the most prosperous period of Rongguo Mansion, so naturally he is even more unwilling to let the Wang family go beyond the past.
It's just that Lin Ruhai is not so easy to get. When it comes to the power struggle between the emperor and today, even the four princes and eight princes' families dare not easily get involved.
Given the headache over this matter, how could he possibly care about Jia Baoyu's grievances?
Besides, Jia Cong didn't take any action or take any drastic measures. If he strikes at this time, he might make the eldest man anxious.
The Three Kingdoms craze made this boy steal the limelight, and at the same time it also brought glory to the Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family.
The old lady has also listened to the stories of the Three Kingdoms and the reviews of the Three Kingdoms. With her knowledge and experience, she cannot tell that the guy who can write this thing is not an ignorant person even if he does not have a beautiful heart.
Now she also realized that the eldest man suddenly became sharp and compared the eldest son Liu Qi of Jingzhou in the story of the Three Kingdoms to his son-in-law Lin Ruhai. I am afraid it was not what Jia Cong had in mind.
In this way, while I am shocked that Jia Cong has a sharp mind at such a young age, I am also relieved to have such an idea.
After all, he is the leader of Rongguo Mansion, so he is not completely senile yet.
Naturally, she felt happy that the younger generation in the family would succeed.
But that's it. After all, Jia Cong is just a low-class bastard. If he deliberately suppresses Jia Baoyu, the old lady may take action.
There is a difference between concubines and concubines!
Right now, there's no need to go to war.
However, even if the eight boys around Phoenix Egg were beaten, it was Xue Pan who took action. Even if the old lady was unhappy, she could not say much.
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, was extremely angry!
Jia Baoyu is her eyeball, and she cannot tolerate the slightest disrespect from others.
Unexpectedly, the boy next to Yanzhu was beaten by his nephew. It was simply unreasonable.
By the way, shouldn't nephew Xue Pan stand with his cousin Jia Baoyu?
Aunt Xue may not be shrewd in other matters, but she knows her own sister very well. A large silver note of five thousand taels directly calmed Mrs. Wang's anger.
"I'm not saying that Brother Pan should always stand by his cousins and don't let outsiders laugh at them!"
There was less resentment in Mrs. Wang's tone, and more displeasure and confusion.
Aunt Xue was obedient and deliberately flattered, and finally eliminated the unhappiness of her sister, Mrs. Wang. When she returned home and saw Xue Pan who looked like nothing had happened, she immediately got angry and lectured her: "Look at the good things you have done, but how can you treat your aunt
I’m so angry!”
Xue Pan pretended to be stupid and didn't reply. Aunt Xue was so angry that she fell down. After saying a few words, she simply went back to the room to calm down her unhappiness.
She was the wife of the house, and she was scolded by her elder sister, Mrs. Wang, and she was not in a good mood at this time.
"Brother, don't make mother unhappy!"
Xue Baochai, who had been watching silently, tried to persuade her, but she saw some clues and asked tentatively: "Brother, can you tell me why you attacked Baoyu's servant? This is not a trivial matter!"
"Sister, don't ask too much, you just need to know that if I don't take action, brother, I won't have a good life!"
Facing his sister Xue Baochai, Xue Pan no longer pretended to be stupid and said helplessly: "Brother, I can't help myself either!"
"Brother Cong from Dafang?"
Xue Baochai's heart trembled, and he spoke carefully and tentatively.
Dai Bawang's face turned slightly pale, he couldn't help but nodded, and said depressedly: "Unless brother, I leave the Jia clan to learn..."
"impossible!"
Xue Baochai categorically rejected it, interrupted his brother's words directly, and said resolutely: "Brother will make great progress in studying in the Jia clan, it is better to continue schooling!"
Just kidding, Xue Baochai is thankful that the Jia clan has learned such a good way to restrain his elder brother and keep him from causing trouble. How could he let his elder brother out of prison and act recklessly?
Based on her understanding of her brother, once he leaves the Jia family clan school, he is afraid that he will revert to his old ways and become a standard playboy.
Even if we don't talk about this, just because my brother's strong body is all learned and trained in the Jia clan, he can't give up halfway.
"I knew it!"
Xue Pan looked broken and said disdainfully: "Since my brother and I want to continue to hang out in the Jia clan, I naturally have to abide by the clan rules. I just beat up a few of Baoyu's boys, but I didn't see anything wrong with him!"
"But my aunt is very angry and thinks you shouldn't let outsiders see the joke!"
Xue Baochai forcibly held back some of her words. It would be terrible if her brother knew that her mother had spent five thousand taels of silver to appease her aunt's anger.
"Don't say useless things!"
However, Xue Pan didn't care much and curled his lips and said: "Baoyu is just an embroidered pillow. He was the one who caused the whole thing. As a result, the boy didn't even dare to let go of anything after being spanked. Is there anyone else in clan school who dares to touch him?"
It’s so chilling to see people see it!”
"Brother, please don't talk nonsense outside!"
Xue Baochai's round face was a little red. He was not very happy that his brother was spitting out fragrance, but he didn't say much. In his heart, he felt a little more contempt for Baoyu.
After her brother Xue Pan left, she immediately went to her mother, Aunt Xue, to murmur for a while, and finally decided not to make the matter public.
At the same time, the gifts sent to Jia Congna, the eldest family member, during the holidays have become a bit thicker.
…
Jia Cong had no idea that a turmoil was secretly rising, but was calmed down by five thousand taels of silver.
If he knew it, there would be nothing else to say other than shouting "rich man".
Even my younger brother Huan San was not affected this time. Obviously the five thousand taels of silver given by the Xue family was still very useful.
His days are still ordinary and fulfilling. He goes to the tribe to learn Diangmao regularly every day, and then takes a group of younger brothers to the Huiyou Bookstore, where he either writes something or gives guidance to the younger brothers on their homework, or reads reviews and articles sent from outside.
In other words, with the launch of the Three Kingdoms Review specially launched by Huiyou Bookstore, just like the book review function of online novels, the entire novel review circle in Beijing suddenly appeared and rose, and it became very popular.
Jia Cong knows the important role of book reviews. Many times, book reviews of novels may be more exciting and more attractive to readers than the novel itself.
Many serious scholars were quite dissatisfied with his review of the Three Kingdoms. They vented all their dissatisfaction in the book reviews, and their harsh words were as severe as pointing at Jia Cong's nose and scolding him for his treason...
