In Rongqing Hall, Ou Mengmeng was just about to take a nap when the door announced that Aunt Lai was here. Ou Mengmeng looked at the chiming clock again.
In fact, Jia Mu's biological clock has not changed for decades. In order to avoid suspicion, Ou Mengmeng did not change her daily routine except for exercising more.
Now, Aunt Lai comes in time for her nap, which is a bit interesting. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep, not talking at all. Sure enough, something was revealed.
Aunt Lai also knew that Jia Mu would not be able to see her now. Even if she had more face, she would still be a slave, and the master would not stand up specifically for the sake of a servant.
Originally, when Aunt Lai came, she had to say hello to Jia Mu first, and then she had to go to the houses listed on the nameplates to say hello.
So he said that the old lady was asleep, and asked someone to lead her to Wang Xifeng, where Qin Keqing happened to be. So Grandma Lai was brought in.
"How come you have time to come here?" This is Wang Xifeng's east room. He is sitting at the head of the kang, while Qin Keqing is sitting at the end of the kang in the west.
The account books were placed between the two of them and they were reconciling the accounts. Now the people in the accounting room and the bank outside have been changed. Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing check their accounts together every day and talk about the daily life in the house. These two things are in his hands, and the Lai family is not having a good time now. All the errands in the house have been replaced by new people. The Lai couple looked at the general manager, but they were almost empty. In addition, the nursing home was changed yesterday and Yuanchun had done it, so it was quite normal for this person to come here today.
"Look what grandma said, come and say hello to the old lady, madam, grandma, I can't choose a date." Aunt Lai smiled and bowed, and said sweetly. .q.
"What a coincidence. The old lady is on her lunch break, but she is getting old and she even forgot about this." Wang Xifeng shook her head and moved her chin to Ping'er, "You really don't have any eyesight, Mom. When grandma is here, she doesn’t say anything about getting a spoon for her.”
Aunt Lai's face changed slightly. She was a person close to Jia's mother, and she had retired from the house at an old age. Although the bond of betrayal was still in the house, the masters could give her some face wherever she went. Wang Xifeng now lets people take skewers, which is no different from being slapped in the face. But he quickly smiled and said, "Grandma Xie, how can you not be so valuable and still stand tall?"
"The old lady and the cats and dogs are all respectable, please hurry up and sit down." Ping'er came out with a smile and pushed Grandma Lai to sit down.
"..." Grandma Lai choked up and was speechless for a long time. She was retired and an old lady. When she came to the Rong Mansion, she said "cats and dogs in front of the old lady" and was hit in the face, causing pain.
"Aunt Lai, are you busy today?" Qin Keqing asked someone to pour a bowl of tea for Aunt Lai and said softly.
"It's nothing. The boss told me before that I wanted to donate a future to our brother Rong." Grandma Lai thought about it and looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile.
"Brother Rong of yours?" Wang Xifeng thought about it, "Oh, by the way, the old lady let your grandson go out, but now he is studying?"
"Isn't that right? It was the old lady's grace that allowed this boy to be born. Think about it, the servants couldn't resist the old lady's kindness. They wanted to make him have some potential." Aunt Lai said it very well. They Donating an official position is not for yourself, but for the sake of the old lady's good looks.
Wang Xifeng smiled, leaned lazily on the big chair, picked up the tea bowl and drank, not bothering to talk to him anymore.
"It is not difficult to donate an official position, but there is a problem with status. The imperial court has rules. Five categories are not allowed to take the imperial examination. They are cold status, which means that those who have not passed the examination for three generations or more cannot participate; the descendants of government officials who work as errands in the government office but have no fame. The descendants of people who are engaged in music and entertainment are simply the descendants of actors; the descendants of beggar households and Dan households are the descendants of beggars, as well as the descendants of small traders who live on land and sea all year round; and finally, the descendants of slaves. He is not qualified to participate in the imperial examination." Qin Keqing smiled and said smoothly. (The imperial examination system of the Qing Dynasty)
These days, the old lady's book of law was not given to them in vain, and the legal provisions came out of her mouth. Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, just not giving them this face. And Qin Keqing is from the Ning Mansion, so she is just a guest for now, just giving random advice.
Aunt Lai was dumbfounded. Now that the descendants of slaves are not allowed to take the imperial examination, you are not allowed to take the imperial examination. How can you talk about donating officials? If you are accused, it is a serious crime. The Jia family is actually brave
Da Baotian, who is of the same lineage, calmed down and said with a smile, "That's what I said, so I wanted to ask the government if there is any solution!"
"It's not impossible. It's okay to adopt your boy out and find a civilian and innocent family, and change his name. However, once you get an official ultimatum, you can't change it back. That's just to show off one's family lineage and glorify other people's ancestors. . And he can no longer talk about his relationship with you, otherwise, he will be deceiving the emperor. This is like drawing water from a bamboo basket. I advise you not to do this, it is not cost-effective!" Wang Xifeng said slowly and leisurely, with a look like I am doing good for you.
"Auntie is right. I'm afraid that in the end, the hard work of your elders for two generations will be in vain." Qin Keqing nodded hurriedly, "It's better to be more cautious."
"Is there no other way?" This Aunt Lai doesn't know how to do it. If he is not an official in the name of the descendants of the Lai family, how can their money be transferred to his name? Then the money is deposited with them by the Jia family. It belongs to your family and can be taken away at any time. Thinking about the consequences of Zhou Rui's family, the Lai family has actually been going crazy for a while, otherwise, they would be thinking about donating their official positions now.
They approached Jia She, who looked at them and said directly, "Which of your eyes can tell that I have the ability to donate an official position to you?"
Asked Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng looked embarrassed. He didn't say yes or no. He was anxious when asked, so he directly said that he would ask the old lady. It really made Lai lose his temper.
Lai Er asked Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen was not as frustrating as Jia She and Jia Zheng, but he asked, "It's not your son. Let Lai Er ask the eldest master of Xifu, the second master." So Jia Zhen So he hid.
After going around in a circle, Lai everyone went back yesterday to talk to Lai Da about Yuan Chun and Wang Xifeng. Lai Da thought about it and went to see my mother to see what the house meant. After all, Aunt Lai and Mu Jia grew up together. No matter whether something happened or not, if Aunt Lai said it, some people would believe it. This is like mud falling into the crotch, which is either shit or shit. What's more, Jia Mu is not really a charitable person.
The East and West mansions have been under the control of these two brothers for more than ten years, and they are so dirty and smelly that no one can get rid of them. So when she first went out, she was actually full of confidence, but now she is a little unsure.
"Then only you and your family can deregister. If you and your family can deregister, the old lady will give you a favor and write a document to prove that you have already deregistered. However, the old lady is reluctant to leave, so she keeps you and your family in the mansion. I'm a servant, but I'm not a slave, I'm a servant, but I can barely give it a try." Yuanchun's cold voice came from outside the door.
