"Where are you from? Do you want to donate an official position?" Ou Mengmeng thought about it and made sure.
"No, he's twenty. It's probably too late to study and take the exams now. I'm thinking about learning while doing it. After all, he comes from a Rong family, and he will definitely not lose his reputation as a gentleman."
"No, it's good that those two guys can take care of themselves. Isn't your boy Rong smart since he was a child? He was let out when he was born. Why is he not even a scholar at 20?" Ou Mengmeng waved her hands hurriedly. , who should you talk to, let alone Jia She and Jia Zheng? People from the Lai family and Jia Yucun are all the same kind of rebellious people, just like Grandma Lai now. I am afraid that the person she hates the most in her life is Jia Mu. .
Grandma Lai's face stiffened again. She had just said that she was late in studying, but now the old lady directly said that it was the child who was let go when he was born. When he was twenty, he still hadn't been admitted as a scholar. Whose fault was it?
"Grandma Cai Rong also said that with our background, we cannot take the imperial examination." Aunt Lai calmed down and then whispered.
"Why?" Ou Mengmeng hurriedly looked at Hu Hue, "Go and call the eldest girl, Second Grandma and Grandma Rong."
Soon, the three people came in and saw Aunt Lai. The three of them understood and bowed. Wang Xifeng looked at Aunt Lai with a busy smile and said, "Auntie, what we said is all farts. What's more?" Come and talk to the old lady again."
"No way, slave, it's so easy to come here. I want to see the old lady, and I can feel at ease after paying her a visit." Aunt Lai was a little embarrassed, so she could only smile and say.
"What's going on?" Ou Mengmeng turned to Qin Keqing.
"You have good intentions, and you want to let the boy from the Lai family become a member of the family, so that he can be passed down for another two generations. If you don't know, you will really change the family. However, now, Aunt Lai, the elder couple are still slaves, and according to the law, the boy from the Lai family No imperial examinations are allowed. Even if you donate an official position, your family must be clean and have three generations written on it." Qin Keqing smiled and explained to Ou Mengmeng softly. (See the format for Jia Rong’s donation of official posts. Not only must he write about himself, but also the basic information about his father and grandfather.)
"The main thing is that if Lai Shangrong can study and is very talented, he will lack an opportunity. No matter what, his granddaughter will help them. Now it is to donate to the officialdom. Even if the Lai family has saved a lot of money for several lifetimes, really It is useless to donate a false job, but to donate a real job, the money cannot be afforded by the Lai family. So Cai'er's granddaughter and Grandma Lai said that it would be better to let Lai Shangrong be an apprentice in the shop, and then choose a girl from an innocent family to protect the children and grandchildren. It's better to continue." Yuan Chun said to Ou Mengmeng with a busy smile.
"Now is not the time for the Duke to be here. I have made it clear to the eldest master and the second master that they have to keep their tail between their legs. So I don't dare to help you at this moment." Ou Mengmeng nodded. After pondering for a while, "Brother Rong, if you are not good at studying, don't bother. If you have the money, it is better to use it to buy land for him. From this generation on, it will be a problem to change the family if you want to change the family. .".
"That's right, Qian'er, the attacker in Baoyu's room found his grandson's wife and said he wanted to come back to work." Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked someone to take the spoon and asked Aunt Lai to sit down. "She is from a commoner background. She has a mother and father at home, and she also I have a brother. He said that the family had recovered from the disease before, so the old lady exempted her from paying the price and let her family reunite. It had only been a few months, and when she came back, she said that life at home was difficult, her mother was not in good health, and her brother still wanted to marry. Sister-in-law. Nowadays, no outsiders are allowed in the house. They are not allowed to enter the house if they are not born in the family. I have no choice but to let her go back! What a good child. So, Aunt Lai, of course it is good for her children and grandchildren. However, you have been living a stable life in the house for generations, so you don’t know the dangers outside. So don’t say that I curse you. You will be happy at home for a thousand days, but it will be difficult for you to go out for a while. If you live a good life like this, you are also trusting the house. The blessing here is really because of Lai Shangrong, the whole family quit their citizenship. Although it is for the sake of generational love, it will not stop it, but what will happen to such a big family in the future? "
Ou Mengmeng wanted to laugh. She felt that Wang Xifeng was quite talented. Look at what she said. She also knew about Xi Ren returning home, but she had managed to drive them out with difficulty. How could she let them come back now? When people come back, they don't let others find opportunities.
So Wang Xifeng didn't need to go back to Ou Mengmeng and just did it directly. Besides, these girls and women in the house are not doing well. When they search for things, they have an average of two to three hundred gold. Checking their accounts, the figures don't even add up.
You must know that the girl and mother-in-law receive monthly money, receive
Reward money can be checked in an account. If the account includes all the income from the time you enter the house to the time of checking, even if you don't eat or drink, but you keep the full amount, then where does the excess come from?
These days, Ou Mengmeng starts from these small things and forces the girls and women to really work hard to learn to read. Because once you know the characters, you can keep accounts by yourself and explain the sources. Amazingly powerful.
Because the rules of the house are that from now on, you can put away the money you save generously. As long as there is an account to prove it, the money will be the monthly salary, plus the rewards for the New Year and festivals. Then, the money can be taken out of the house and there is no need to hide it secretly. This is what you earn from your labor.
Otherwise, why should the Lai family be in a hurry? Even if the Lai family spent several lifetimes of money, it would be impossible for them to have the property they have today. So, they must act quickly.
I didn't want Lai Shangrong to donate an official position before, but Leng Zixing was a commoner, so he was copied and imprisoned. Therefore, Lai Shangrong must be an official. Only by becoming an official can they protect their property.
Now it's time to see who can rush first.
"That's right, you, you have been worrying about your children and grandchildren all your life, how old are you? Now that life is going smoothly, the Lai family can earn more than ten taels of silver a month, right? You are still young, and it is better to help your children and grandchildren than to lose your livelihood. The whole family can point to an official position that is out of reach." Ou Mengmeng smiled and said softly to Aunt Lai.
"Didn't you come out too? Lock up the prodigal wife and train your grandchildren again." Grandma Lai looked up at Ou Mengmeng and blurted out.
"My children and grandchildren are not up to par, but my granddaughters are too cute." Ou Mengmeng smiled and was not angry.
She actually knew that Aunt Lai hated Jia Mu. When she was young, who didn't order flowers and flowers in her intestines? As a result, Jia Mu promised her to Daishan's long-term follower. As a result, she died earlier than Daishan. After all, Daishan's body was No, it was caused by joining the army. But the one who follows him will only be worse. After all, the master is in trouble, and it will be even harder for him to survive if he follows him for a long time. Therefore, Aunt Lai felt that her husband's death was for charity, and it was not considered an act of anger.
While watching others grow old with good clothes and good food, she worked hard, lived by flattering Jia Mu all her life, worked hard to raise two sons, and when she got old, she still had to be looked down upon by these young masters. How could she not hate it?
Ou Mengmeng actually understood, but she only understood, but she didn't think that Grandma Lai was right.
