After noon, Jia Zheng returned to his residence to rest. Jia's mother also called him over and told him what happened to Jia Lian today.
Seeing Jia Zheng being annoyed, Jia Mu and others were puzzled: "Didn't Lian'er tell you?"
Jia Zheng shook his head: "He came to me before noon and only talked about opening a door through the middle courtyard wall. I heard him say that the old lady had agreed, and it would indeed be much cheaper for family members to travel in the future, so I didn't think much about it.
Why, Lian'er really wanted to move out in the first place? "
Seeing Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang both nodding, Jia Zheng said excitedly: "Thanks to the wisdom of the old lady, I blocked his words, otherwise I am afraid that my son will not be able to take charge of the family here and serve you.
Lian'er has become more and more active in recent years, and her temperament has become hardened.
He became an official, and his rank was a little higher than his son. In the future, among the military attaches, there will naturally be many subordinates and colleagues coming and going. Under such circumstances, it will definitely be inconvenient if he cannot open the door and build a mansion by himself.
So I can understand his approach. I had thought about finding an opportunity to have a good talk with him before, but I didn't want to delay it because of the incident involving my eldest brother.
The old lady's handling method was extremely appropriate. In this way, I can feel completely at ease. "
In fact, Jia Zheng has always been worried that Jia Lian will openly break up with him. In that case, even with his "indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune", he may have to fight Tai Chi with Jia Lian.
After all, even he was reluctant to give up the wealth and honor of the huge Rongguo Mansion and move out to live outside.
Now I heard that Jia Lian had no intention of driving him away. Instead, he would rather feel aggrieved and want to go out and set up a new business. This moved Jia Zheng too much.
What a good boy~
These years of loving him have not been in vain.
Jia Zheng, who thought so in his heart, naturally did not hesitate to say more good things.
Mrs. Wang was on the side with a calm expression. She knew that her husband might not think bad things about people, so he only thought about good things.
When I go back in the evening, I have to give him some advice... I just don’t know if he will still stay in Zhao’s house tonight!
Jia Mu took a deep look at Jia Zheng and was not sure whether he was sincere or not.
Then he sighed in his heart, it would be great if it was true. Guan Lian'er was not a cold-blooded person. Knowing that his second uncle treated him with such sincerity, I was afraid that the two of them would be able to live in harmony in the future.
The harmony of a family will not last long if it can only be suppressed by her ancestor.
…
Late at night, after a busy day, Sister Feng, who was still energetic, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and found her home. Sure enough, Jia Lian was preparing to take a rest.
This was the agreement between him and his wife. This month, during the day, one of them would take care of the front and the other would take care of the inside.
At night, they take turns, with one person taking care of them for half the night.
He wanted to have some private words with Jia Lian, so he left everyone outside. While Ping'er was serving Jia Lian to wash his feet, he sat down by the kang and stared at Jia Lian with bright eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Jia Lian asked with a frown.
Sister Feng didn't care about Jia Lian's attitude. She still looked at Jia Lian with her eyes wide open, "I heard from Baoyu and the others that the old lady and the madam have said that from now on, the two sides will become one, and they will never be allowed to do it again." Did you mention the separation of the family?
Even the regular money for our staff is distributed uniformly from the official level, instead of being distributed separately from here? "
"What are you happy about? Although the salary was not distributed here, the annual salary here was also taken back by my wife. After all, don't we lose money?" Jia Lian glanced at Sister Feng and said casually. .
Sister Feng became dissatisfied.
"Stop bluffing me, do you think I am an ignorant person like the eldest lady?
The two sides are combined. Although our money is a little less, from now on, we can live there legitimately.
Besides, when we really need to use money, who among the officials would dare to stop us from using it?
If there is no business, even old ladies and wives can only get twenty taels of silver from the official every month. What difference does it make if the money is placed in the official.
What I'm only worried about is that when the two sides are closed, these things in the old man's courtyard..."
Jia She worked hard for decades, but it was unknown how much of the Duke's family fortune was wasted.
But there is still a lot of chaff in the rat-infested granary. The things and belongings that Jia She has accumulated throughout her life are all in the Dongkua courtyard. Wang Xifeng made a rough estimate these days, but they are richer than the wealth she has accumulated over the years. Too many.
She had long thought about how to bypass Mrs.
Jia Lian heard Sister Feng's intention and replied calmly: "As long as I am here, no one can take away a single copper plate in this courtyard."
Just like the accumulation of two generations of princes in Rongxi Hall, it was all enjoyed by Jia Zheng.
Jia Lian had no intention of occupying Rongxi Hall, and naturally it was impossible for others to take away anything from the East Cross Courtyard.
Even a calculating person like Mrs. Wang didn't dare to show any thoughts about this place in Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall before. She could only say, "The house here is still for their use."
In other words, even Mrs. Wang admitted that this area would still belong to their big house in the future. It is similar to Sister Feng's Children's Hospital. It belongs to them and is independent of the private property of the officials. However, this place is much larger than Sister Feng's Children's Home, almost as big as Rongxi Hall.
In other words, from now on, he and Jia Zheng were equal in terms of the size of the territory they occupied in Rongguo Mansion.
Of course, this is based on his official status and the right to speak.
If not, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others would have the guts to put the things here into the official palace for the family to enjoy after Jia She's death...
And the reasons can also be very legitimate, so that others can't find fault.
This is the so-called struggle of interests within the family. Some people don’t understand. As long as the family is harmonious, what is there to fight about?
There are many interests and people, and there are rivers and lakes.
When these are involved, it's not a matter of whether you want to fight or not. For example, Jia Baoyu only wanted to enjoy wealth and had no intention of fighting. But today, he was actually involved in a struggle, but he didn't realize it yet.
Although Jia Lian doesn't want the Ri family to scheme against trivial matters in the family, but as a member of this big family, he must always ensure that his legitimate interests are not damaged. He must make others afraid to fight him!
Like Jia Baoyu, he doesn't want to fight with others, but he can't stop others from fighting him. It's really sad that his fate is manipulated by others.
As for Wang Xifeng, she was full of worries, but when she heard Jia Lian's confident and domineering words, she instantly felt a lot of moisture in her belly.
She believed that Jia Lian was not just talking nonsense.
Even she can feel that Jia Lian now has more and more say in the family. Both Jia Mu, whom they revered as a saint before, and Jia Zhen, the clan leader from the east, became more and more polite to them.
This is a natural thing. Now the unscrupulous official is now firmly in his seat, and the invitation for the eldest master's death has also been handed over.
In just a few days, a second-grade general will lose his title.
At that time, the conscienceless person will become the person in the entire Jia clan, whose status is second only to Jia Mu, even Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen cannot compare.
As for Mrs. Xing, although she has a first-class title, her own foundation is too poor, she is a widow, and she has no capable children, so it's just the same. For the sake of dignity, just show some respect when you should.
Therefore, Jia Lian has the confidence to say such things, which is convincing and admirable.
For a strong person like Sister Feng to show such an expression, it really makes the man feel more satisfied.
Jia Lian couldn't help but reach out to take Sister Feng into his arms and rub her.
Sister Feng became embarrassed, pushed Jia Lian away, and said shyly: "What are you doing! At this time, you are not taboo? Why don't you stop..."
After hearing what Sister Feng said, Jia Lian stopped thinking about playing games with Sister Feng.
At least in Sister Feng's heart, Jia She is still her father-in-law. He is not a lustful ghost, so why should Sister Feng be charged with such a crime?
In fact, Sister Feng herself is not too taboo about Jia She, but she is afraid that after doing such a thing, she will lose energy and cause trouble, so she can endure it.
In order to show her talents in front of her family, her perseverance is very strong.
Even if she doesn't have sex with Jia Lian for a month, she can bear it.
But she was afraid that Jia Lian couldn't help it, so she let Jia Lian go to bed first every day. When Jia Lian woke up, Youshi, Qinshi and other people probably went back to their homes, so Jia Lian had no chance to hook up. .
This is a simple manifestation of Sister Feng's scheming.
She knew very well how seductive her nephew-in-law and best friend was and how tempting she was to men.
Maybe as long as a man sees her, he will not miss her debt!
He who has no conscience is definitely no exception, but he can hide himself now, so it is difficult for people to see him.
However, he asked himself to send blood ginseng to Qin to nourish his body!
In order to warn Jia Lian, Sister Feng decided to take the initiative.
"Did you know that after you went to the border last year, there were some bad things reported in Dongfu. Rong's daughter-in-law also fell ill because of this..."
Sister Feng deliberately mentioned the Qin family while carefully observing Jia Lian's face and expression.
Jia Lian turned around and asked expressionlessly: "Oh, what is it?"
"I only tell you secretly, just keep it in your heart.
It was probably Uncle Zhen over there who had irrational thoughts, but somehow Jiao Da in the mansion over there found out about it. That night, Jiao Da took advantage of the drunkenness and exposed it in one bite.
Rong's daughter-in-law just got heart disease, and it took her several months to recover. "
Sister Feng looked like she was confiding in Jia Lian.
"Oh, is there such a thing? How do you know it's not a rumor? Brother Zhen, you shouldn't dare to have such thoughts..."
"Tch, do you think I don't know about your man's frivolous nature? Doesn't he dare? Ever since Master Jing became a monk over there, Uncle Zhen has not disciplined him. Is there anything in the world that he doesn't dare to do?"
Sister Feng paused for a moment when she said this. She was the housekeeper here and was well-informed. She had also heard about several evil things that Jia Zhen had done outside. She didn't want to tell Jia Lian or make him unhappy.
"Besides, Rong's daughter-in-law has a good relationship with me. How can her gentle temperament hide something? If I test her, won't she reveal her secret?"
"What, she did it?" Jia Lian's voice suddenly became louder.
He had tried so hard to prepare, but it was still in vain.
Or is it that the Qin family is born with sexual promiscuity, and even Jia Zhen is willing to do it?
He borrowed rumors and used Jiao Da. With these superficial methods, he knew that he could only guard against Jia Zhen.
After all, Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family and a person who wants face.
If Qin took the initiative, there would be nothing he could do.
"Although she may not obey, but looking at her like that, I'm afraid she may not be innocent!
However, that boy Rong'er is like a fool, and he has caused such a thing. He still hangs out all day long and is not home for three to five days. It really breaks the heart of Rong's daughter-in-law...
If Sister-in-law You hadn't been forewarned and kept a tight watch on Rong's daughter-in-law, both covertly and covertly, I'm afraid it would have been possible for the family to be ruined.
Look, there are really a bunch of bastards in Dongfu. They are all people who have no shortage of women, but they want to keep an eye on the ones they can't touch. "
While scolding Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian, intending to give him an enlightenment and let him wake up and not be like Jia Zhen, who wanted to bully Rong's daughter-in-law.
What else could Jia Lian do? He could only pretend not to understand.
It's not good to talk too thoroughly, so Sister Feng quickly put it down and asked a few more questions about what happened in Rongqing Hall in the morning. At this time, Ping'er came in with foot washing water and was ready to take it with her. She leaves.
After thinking for a while, he said to Ping'er: "You stay here tonight and help your second master sleep peacefully."
Sister Feng's decision made not only Qiao Ping'er surprised and blushing, but even Jia Lian couldn't help but look over.
Sister Feng then smiled and said, "Why, you don't want it? Then I'll take it away..."
Jia Lian shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, I'm just curious, why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
Sister Feng was originally worried about Jia Lian's evil thoughts. There were so many wives and maids in and around the house.
Rather than taking advantage of outsiders, it would be better to take advantage of others, and she would feel more at ease!
So he didn't talk to Jia Lian, gave him a haughty look, went out to the outside, and asked Qingwen to follow him out to stay up late.
Seeing Qingwen looking at the house longingly, Sister Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "Why, you want to stay too? Who told you that you can't live up to your expectations and can't please your father, so you can only take advantage of her? .
If you have the ability to let your master take you in, I will keep you here next time. "
Qingwen couldn't stand such words, she blushed and walked out the door.
In fact, Qingwen also has a domineering personality, and she is also arrogant towards little girls and rough ladies. However, in Sister Feng's hands, she has to be both a dragon and a tiger.
For example, Sister Feng's simple words made Qingwen feel jealous of Ping'er...
Sister Feng has her own way of controlling her subordinates. Although it may not be good, it is definitely useful.
