Just as the second bedroom cannot kick out the first bedroom, Jia Lian cannot kick out Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Since he knew this, Jia Lian would not forcefully separate the family. A life-and-death struggle may not necessarily lead to everything he wanted in the end.
Therefore, Jia Lian has only one purpose.
That is, first get the legal right of residence in the main courtyard.
This is righteousness. After today, the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion no longer belongs to Jia Zheng alone, but also to his eldest grandson.
Although Jia Zheng is still the master, he, as the eldest young master, at least has the right to speak, so that he can handle family affairs in a legitimate manner in the future.
With this legitimate name, the right to speak in the family will depend on their own abilities.
When Jia Mu returns to the West in the future, she will continue to live there if she can. If she can't, who should move out? The consequences are self-evident.
This means that Jia Zheng is a harmless person. If Jia Zheng is as disgusting as Jia She, Jia Lian will only want to stay away from him, or find a way to reunite him with Jia She's brothers...
Therefore, Jia Lian knew that he would probably remain in this "mixed" state for a long time to come.
Jia Zheng and others may not be aware of Jia Mu's longevity, but Jia Lian knows that if there are no accidents, the old lady will live to be over eighty, and she will still die early.
Seeing Mrs. Wang looking at him with complicated eyes, knowing that she might have understood his thoughts, Jia Lian didn't care and even gave her a simple smile.
Then he said to Jia Mu: "The old lady also said just now that since there is no difference between the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard, my grandson has another matter that he wants to discuss with the old lady and my wife."
Jia's mother felt a little tired. Since Jia Lian became an official, the family seemed more prosperous than before, but there were also many more things.
Every now and then, Jia Lian would always create something for her to make her unhappy.
After everyone was seated again, Jia Mu asked, "Tell me what it is about? Do you want to invite your master to come in?"
"There's no need to trouble the master to make a trip. It's not a big deal. As long as the old lady and the madam agree, I'll just go and talk to the master later."
"Yeah." Jia Mu nodded.
"It's like this. After my father passed away, my wife, sister-in-law, and sisters had to take a car to the east cross courtyard to kneel and sit up and down every day, which was not very convenient.
Moreover, the old lady also ordered that after February 7th, the funeral of the elder would have to be more standardized. By then, more mixed people would come in and out through the front door. If I accidentally bumped into my wife and sisters, how would I feel about it?
Therefore, the grandson thought that it would be better to open a private door between the backyard of the east cross courtyard and the east garden here.
In this way, not only will it be easier for my father and my wife to sit up and save time, but it will also be easier for our family to travel in the future.
For example, when Sister-in-law You and others over there come to say hello to the old lady, they don't have to go around the west corner gate every time. They can go straight across the courtyard from the east.
Of course, the most important thing is to facilitate myself. I thought that after my father's funeral was completed, I would circle a piece of land on the east side of the courtyard and build a place for myself to practice martial arts. In this case, there is no need to make so much noise every day in the study room next to Rongxi Hall, disturbing the master and his wife.
What do you think, old lady? "
As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jia Baoyu clapped his hands happily before others said anything.
"Okay, that's it. I used to walk from here to the west corner gate every day, and then take a car there. It was very troublesome to go back and forth.
If a private door is opened in Dongyuan, Sister Lin and I can go directly behind my wife's house and go there to pay homage to the great master.
Brother Lian’s consideration is really appropriate! "
Jia Baoyu said so, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had no room to refuse.
We just said that the two sides are one family. If we deny the two sides access to each other now, won't it make Jia Lian suspect that they are not sincere?
However, Mrs. Wang immediately thought of the opportunity to win back the game. She said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, Lian'er's consideration is indeed reasonable. Let's just leave it alone. As long as it is convenient for the old lady to go there, it is time to start. A door is the best.”
Seeing Mother Jia nodding, Mrs. Wang continued: "However, as the old lady said just now, the two sides were originally a family, and the eldest master used to be here.
Now that the eldest master is gone, Lian'er doesn't have to move there. What do the dozens of people over there say? Also, the past years are divided into years..."
Mrs. Wang knew that she had suffered a secret loss, and thought that since Jia Lian lived here as a family, shouldn't the area in Dongkuaoyuan also be under the jurisdiction of the extended family?
Don’t underestimate the East Cross Courtyard. It used to be the majority of the garden of Rongguo Mansion, and the total ground area accounted for four to one-fifth of the entire Rongguo Mansion!
Since Lian'er wants to divide the things here, then Dongkuaoyuan can't count him alone anymore.
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Jia Mu understood what she meant.
I know in my heart that these are things that must be discussed at home to change things, because I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion, waiting for Jia Lian's response.
Jia Lian smiled and said: "What my wife means is that the dozens of people in Dongkuaoyuan will also be managed by Guanzhong in the future, and their monthly money, etc. will also be distributed by Guanzhong. In the past, Guanzhong allocated the money to the elder That share of money will no longer be distributed from now on, right?"
After all, Mrs. Wang was afraid of forcing Jia Lian, so she said: "Just like you and Feng Yatou did in the courtyard, the house over there will be yours to use in the future, but... you have been managing the house at home these years, so you should also know that the official situation, making ends meet every year.
For the sake of all of us, it is better to keep this money in the official position to prepare for future family events. What do you think, Lian'er? "
Mrs. Wang kicked the ball back.
Rongguo Mansion is a super big landowner. Its annual rent, land tax and other income is very huge. The cash money alone is tens of thousands. The following people bring in countless things and property every year. The reason why Rongguo Mansion is The luxury above and below is only nourished by the countless tenants and tenants below...
Although in the previous years, Mrs. Wang and others did not really distribute one-third of the amount to Jia She, it was still a huge expense.
Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that it was not a loss.
Although Jia Lian forced them not to admit the family separation, it was a good thing that they could take the money back to the official.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang turned against Jia Lian's army, Jia's mother did not express her position. She felt that Mrs. Wang was right.
Since we are a family, all the money should naturally go to one place and everyone should discuss how to use it.
"My wife is absolutely right, just do what she wants.
From now on, things over there should be handled according to the rules of the family, and nothing special should be done. "
Jia Lian is not Mrs. Xing, so how can she care about the gains and losses?
What he wanted from the beginning to the end was just the land in the east cross courtyard. If he got it, he could do a lot more.
As for the equal share that Jia She looks at every year, what is it worth?
Mrs. Wang took it back, thinking she had an advantage. But she didn't know that everyone's money was in one place, and she didn't know who would suffer...
By building a martial arts arena, he could legitimately ask for money from officials.
Well, it seems that we need to build it as soon as possible, otherwise we may really suffer a loss.
Yuanchun should be crowned a concubine. If the Grand View Garden is still built at that time, I am afraid that the entire Rongguo Mansion will be completely hollowed out in an instant!
It doesn’t matter, this is something that everyone can take advantage of. And as long as his share of money is used, wouldn't it be considered his share of the Grand View Garden in the future? It's not too much for me to go in and take a stroll, right?
Fortunately, Yuanchun had not yet been granted the title of concubine at this time, and Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were not confident enough to dare to open a battle with him.
Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would definitely not be so easy to talk to today. In order to prevent him from causing trouble, she kept retreating.
Mrs. Wang was really surprised to see Jia Lian agreeing so easily. She even felt that maybe Jia Lian really had no bad intentions and was only thinking about his family.
So, he threw away most of his unhappiness and asked Jia Lian where he planned to open the toilet door.
Jia Lian also told Jia Mu and others about the idea that he had planned long ago. Seeing that Jia Lian's plan was thorough and sound, Jia Mu and others did not say much and let him handle the matter on his own.
From beginning to end, no one thought it was bad to tear down the wall at Jia She's funeral.
No one mentioned whether Jia She’s mourning hall should be moved to Rongxi Hall since they were one family!
In the final analysis, reason and interests must be weighed against each other.
When Jia She died, everyone cried and that was all. Since Jia Lian, his son, has no intention of helping Jia She fight for his rights, Mrs. Wang and others will not take the initiative to mention it.
