Zhao Sheng was left at home by Jia Lian to monitor Jia Zhen. Of course, there were also situations in Jia Sheyuan.
If it was an emergency, Jia Lian would even teach Zhao Sheng how to send him a message.
After listening to Zhao Sheng's report on his family's situation over the past year, Jia Lian frowned.
Sure enough, Jia Zhen is still evil-minded...
It seems that it is time to start preparing some backup strategies in case of emergencies.
"Little man, I have met the second master..."
After letting Zhao Sheng go down, Jia Lian recruited Sun Zairen.
After he greeted him, he smiled and asked, "How is your restaurant going?"
"Thanks to the second master, I have opened a small restaurant in Juxianfang, Xicheng, according to the second master's instructions. The name is also called Juxian Tower according to the second master's instructions. There are three floors in total. There are private rooms on the third floor, but there are not many, only a few.
Now the business is pretty good, because the second master said that there is no need to avoid the relationship between the villain and the second master, so no young people come to bother him. If this continues, it is estimated that within two years, the villain will be able to earn back all the capital invested by the second master..."
Seeing Sun Zairen looking overjoyed, as if he had won his lifelong career, Jia Lian also smiled and said: "That's great.
But I've also said that I don't open a restaurant just to make money, but more to give you an identity so that you can do things for me. Since the business of the restaurant is still good, there is no need to report everything to me. I can trust you. You can take care of the specific management matters yourself.
Now, I want to tell you something... Do you know our Dongfu's eldest son, Sun Jiarong? "
When Sun Zairen heard this, he immediately laughed: "The villain also happens to know that he is a frequent visitor to the restaurant. It is because he heard that the second master of Juxian Tower is the proprietor, so when something happens, he takes the children of your house with him. Come over for a drink.
The villain sees that they are the nephews of the second master and they often get discounts, so they always like to come.
In addition to Uncle Xiao Rong, there is also Uncle Xue, who is also a relative of your house. Tsk tsk, this guy is very generous every time he comes to spend money. Not only does he not want the villain's discount, but he always gives more, which is euphemistically called "two." Please support me and take care of our business..."
It is common for the children of the Jia family, up to the patriarch Jia Zhenqi, to have prostitutes, gamble and drink together.
Especially after Xue Pan came to Rongguo, because everyone knew that the Xue family was rich, the children of the Jia family, including Jia Rong, tried to please him so that they could defraud him of his prostitution and gambling money.
Xue Pan is also a cheerful person. He has only been in Jia Mansion for a few months and has become close to all the children of Jia Mansion.
Unfortunately, Prince Teng was not in the capital, and Jia Zheng didn't care about him. Therefore, after arriving in the capital, Prince Xue was seduced by the children of the Jia family, and became ten times worse than when he was in Jinling City.
Poor Aunt Xue, one of her original intentions when she first came to Beijing was to have Xue Pan restrain her temper under the constraints of her uncle, aunt and others. How did she know that this would be the result...
"Fool Xue?"
Jia Lian smiled, but he didn't expect that this guy had already gone to take care of his business before meeting him.
It’s not surprising, Juxianlou sells all kinds of Jiangnan wines, and it’s not far from Ningrong Street. It’s not surprising that they went to have a drink, and for his sake, it’s not surprising that they went to support him.
He didn't pay much attention to it and just said to Sun Zai: "Now that you have recognized the person, it will be easy to handle. If they go out to drink again in the future, you should find a way to have a good relationship with them. It is best for them to introduce you as a confidant." Hand in hand, especially this Jia Rong."
Although Sun Zairen didn't know Jia Lian's purpose, he didn't ask much. He nodded and said with a smile: "This is not difficult. Although the villain has a low status, several young masters know that the villain is the second master's son, so they also treat the villain. You're welcome.
They are also young people, fond of wine, lust, and loyalty. As long as the villain tries to please them and dare not say anything else, it is certainly not difficult to establish a good relationship. "
"That's very good."
After sorting out the foreign affairs, I went to visit Aqi and Aqin again. I felt that there was nothing missing in Ping'er's arrangement, so I left.
After dinner, he took Wang Xifeng to serve Jia She's soup and medicine, and went back after completing the formalities.
Jia Lian sat on the kang and washed his feet. While Ping'er, Qingwen and Xiang Ling were all there, Jia Lian called them close and warned: "From now on, your second grandma and I will eat as little as possible." Let the people in the kitchen arrange for someone to deliver it. The three of you take turns, and when the time comes, take someone to the kitchen to pick it up in person."
The three Ping'ers didn't think anything after hearing this, but they just responded. Wang Xifeng laughed casually and said, "What are you telling them to do? Are you still worried that someone will poison us?"
Wang Xifeng was just joking, but after she said it, when she saw Jia Lian was silent, she said in shock: "Are you really worried about this?"
Wang Xifeng never expected that Jia Lian really meant this? Poison them in the Duke's Mansion? Who can do it? Who has the courage? ?
Jia Lian glanced at her and said: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. When the great master is dying, be careful and there will be no big mistake."
Wang Xifeng was silent. For the sake of the housekeeper, she fought with the slaves all day long, but it was all trivial matters. She never thought of involving a battle of life and death.
"Are you worrying too much? Who can harm us? Who dares to harm us after eating the heart of a bear?"
"If I die, whoever may benefit me may harm us."
Jia Lian said calmly. His words also made Ping'er and the others shiver. Obviously, they had not thought about this problem. At this time, they couldn't help but feel terrified after what Jia Lian said. valley
"Just because of a title? As for... There are so many mansions in Beijing, and we are not the only ones with titles. Whoever deserves to inherit inherits it. I have never heard of anyone fighting for it..."
Jia Lian was actually quite surprised when such words came out of Wang Xifeng's mouth.
But if you think about it carefully, it fits Wang Xifeng's character and knowledge.
If she was really a far-sighted woman, she would not have ended up like that in the original novel.
He couldn't see clearly the fundamental contradiction that was related to his own interests, and blindly fawned over Mrs. Wang, but instead completely offended his serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing.
Maybe she thinks it's natural to be close to her aunt and do things for her, thinking that her aunt will be kind to her and won't abandon her...
It's a pity that in the final analysis, Mrs. Wang is really just using her.
After all, Sister Feng missed her by not studying, and she didn't learn from history. Her understanding and knowledge of the world all come from the current world.
As everyone knows, the real world is often shrouded in fog. Sister Feng is a person who was deceived by the harmonious illusion of a prosperous and wealthy family.
In order to attract Wang Xifeng's attention, Jia Lian had to look at her and said solemnly: "First of all, just because you haven't heard about it, it doesn't mean there is no such thing.
Because those who died in the struggle for family interests and the struggle for title inheritance will not climb out of the coffin and tell you this. "
Wang Xifeng was shocked when she heard this.
She's not unintelligent, she just doesn't want to believe such horrific things that she hasn't seen or heard before.
Now that she was reminded by Jia Lian, she was shocked to realize the horror of this kind of battle involving huge interests.
She even suddenly thought of her father...
It seems that just before my grandfather passed away, he got sick and died!
She didn't dare to think about it because she thought it would be too scary.
Is there anyone trustworthy in this world?
Seeing that Sister Feng's face was a little pale, Jia Lian was afraid that he would go too far and make Sister Feng fall into paranoia of being persecuted, making her feel uneasy all day long.
So he softened his tone: "But don't worry too much. It's true as you said, there are not many people in this world who dare to harm us.
I am reminding you, but I am adhering to the mentality of being careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship, so that you should pay more attention before I successfully inherit the title.
Even if I am over-attentive, it will not be harmful to us if we are careful. Do you understand this truth? "
Wang Xifeng and others were silent, but Qingwen nodded repeatedly. She opened her beautiful big eyes and said, "I understand what the second master said. I heard it said in story books that this is called 'fratricide.' !”
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at Qingwen in surprise.
I originally thought that Qingwen's knowledge could only be seen from the stage, but no drama dared to play such a big drama of family struggle and fratricide. Because this may offend the royal family, and may offend the wealthy families at the bottom!
Who knew this girl had a hidden trick and could listen to storybooks? I don’t know where I heard it from, but I still remember it in my heart.
Qingwen frowned again, clapped her fingers and said, "But the second master's only brother is Mr. Cong. He is still so young, how can he argue with the second master..."
Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied with Qingwen's blind behavior and scolded: "You little girl, what do you know about this film? Just go away."
Then Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Is it really because of Cong'er?"
Of course Wang Xifeng has not forgotten that that day, Jia She deliberately said that he would pass the title to Jia Cong and Jia Huan in order to anger Jia Mu. Unfortunately, such words did not cause much turmoil in the two houses. Everyone just said that the elder was ill and confused, so she didn't care.
Now that I think about it, if something really happened to Jia Lian, the title might really go to Jia Cong!
Jia Lian smiled, neither admitting nor denying, but followed her words and asked: "Cong'er has been raised under the eldest lady's knees. Haven't you heard about this?"
Wang Xifeng curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Of course I know. I heard from the eldest lady that it was Aunt Yang who took the initiative to take care of her. How could a little thing raised by an aunt change after living with the eldest lady for a few days? ?”
Wang Xifeng really didn't pay attention to this matter at first. After all, Mrs. Xing's own foundation was not stable. Could it be that Jia Cong had been with Mrs. Xing for a few days and the family would recognize his status as "the legitimate son"?
That's a joke.
However, if you think about this matter carefully, you can see that most of those people really have evil thoughts.
No wonder the heartless man guarded all the entrances to the Grand Master's courtyard as soon as he came back. From this point of view, the unconscionable worries may not be unfounded, and we really need to be on guard against those people.
