Xiren suddenly said such words, Yuanyang and Ping'er were stunned for a moment, and both turned to look at Xiren.
What Jia Cong said next shocked the two of them even more.
What does this man want to do? Do you want to take all three of them?
It's just a matter of accepting the mandarin ducks. At most, the old lady can just curse a few words and that's it.
But Xiren is different. The old lady gave it to Baoyu to be his aunt, and Mrs. Wang also likes Xiren.
If we really do this, there will probably be a fuss again.
Ping'er said: "Third Master, are you serious? I don't mind having two more sisters. On the contrary, I would be happy to see us be sisters for life.
If Yuanyang is alone, the old lady may admit it. If there is an attacker, not only the old lady will not give up, but the second wife will also not give up. You have to think about it. "
With her current status, the old lady couldn't do anything to her, nor could she get into trouble with her because of a girl. She could only scold herself a few times.
As for Mrs. Wang, you can just ignore it.
He has been adopted into the East Mansion and is a third-grade general. In principle, he and Rongguo Mansion are only of the same clan.
If you respect her, she is the second aunt. If you don't respect her, she won't even be qualified to talk to him.
In order to maintain her authority, the old lady will only choose to win over herself. In this way, both the East and the West will respect her as their ancestor, and she will have more face in the eyes of outsiders, relatives and friends.
Siluke
"Of course it's true. Don't worry, the old lady won't fall out with me. The second wife has no right to make trouble with me. If I ignore them, they won't be able to do anything.
Xiren, if you have any ideas, you can speak directly. Have you really thought about it? "
Xiren nodded and said: "Third Master, if I don't follow you, you won't be at ease. If you ask for me directly, the old lady will not agree, and the second wife will not agree.
Even if my family comes to redeem me, they may not agree to let me go. In this case, we have cooked the raw rice into cooked rice, but we have simplified things and just show off our cards directly.
The third master also said just now that with the third master's current status, the old lady should try her best to win over her. She will never estrange the relationship with the third master because of a slave, so this is just a small matter for the third master. "
Xiren's words stunned Yuanyang and Heping'er. When did Xiren become so bold?
Judging from the meaning in her words, there is obviously something fishy between these two people.
Yuanyang looked at Xiren, Jia Cong, and Ping'er, feeling speechless for a while.
Now that I have brought the girl from my brother's house, and I want to get the girl from my brother's house, I still don't want to get involved. I can't afford to get involved.
"You three can do whatever you want. Don't involve me. I won't mess around with you."
Xiren said: "Yuanyang, don't you think this is a good opportunity? If you don't seize it and miss today, no one can predict what will happen in the future and what the result will be."
Ping'er also said: "Yuanyang, what Xiren said is right. This is really a good opportunity. Then you can just say that you drank too much and blame it all on the third master. This kind of thing is not a problem for the third master." It’s really nothing.”
Yuanyang was also a little moved. What these two people said did make sense. This was really a good idea.
This man is excellent in all aspects, and he is a good person to rely on.
It's just that this third master is a little young. When he grows up, he will become an old girl. When the time comes, he will dislike himself. What should he do?
He raised his head and looked at Jia Cong, "Third Master, have you ever thought about a problem? When you grow up, the three of us will almost become old girls. When the time comes, you will be surrounded by so many little girls, will you still remember Are we three old girls?"
Jia Cong saw the three of them looking at him with worried faces, and knew that they were all worried about this issue in their hearts.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have also said to Sister Heping'er before that in my eyes, a woman is considered an adult when she is twenty years old and is truly mature. It is much safer to have children at that time.
Besides, given the conditions of our family and taking good care of our appearance, even when we are forty or fifty years old, it will not be much different than it is now. I want you to stay with me for the rest of my life, so how can I dislike you.
Sister Yuanyang, there’s one more thing. I heard that the eldest man is obsessed with you and wants to take you away. If I wait for him to open his mouth, I won’t be able to speak again. I can’t compete with myself for women. , so I thought of letting you decide on your title first. "
Hearing this, Yuanyang nodded and said: "Since the third master has said so, I will not be pretentious. I am willing to follow the third master and serve him for the rest of my life."
Ping'er smiled and said: "This is the best. From now on, we three sisters can be together for a lifetime. Let's have a drink together to celebrate."
For Ping'er, there will definitely be many women after Jia Cong. Instead of looking for others, it is better to find sisters with whom he has a good relationship, so that they can take care of each other when the time comes.
Now that we have settled down and become a family, the four of us have let go.
They chatted and drank, drank and chatted until they were all drunk, and then they helped each other go to bed to rest.
······
The next day, Jia Mu didn't find the mandarin duck when she got up.
After thinking about it, I went to accompany Ping'er yesterday.
He asked, "Where's Yuanyang? Didn't he come back yesterday?"
Amber stepped forward and replied: "Old lady, Sister Yuanyang didn't come back yesterday. She must have stayed in Dongfu."
Jia Mu shook her head. This girl is serious. People have flowers and candles in the wedding room. Why is she staying there?
Under Amber's service, I finished dressing up and barely had some breakfast.
Jia Mu was used to being served by Yuanyang, but now that she was not around, she felt uncomfortable.
After taking a short rest, Jia Cong walked in, followed by Ping'er, Yuanyang, and Xi Ren.
Jia Mu was wondering, why did this attacker come with them?
Did you stay in Dongfu last night?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown.
Jia Cong came to Jia Mu, bowed and saluted: "My grandson, please give my regards to the old lady."
Ping'er, Yuanyang and Xiren also followed suit and saluted.
Mother Jia glanced at a few people and felt bad in her heart.
"Get up, I said, Yuanyang, the young couple are here to pay their respects to the old lady, why are you joining in the fun? There is also Xiren, why did you come here by yourself, where is Baoyu?"
Xiren lowered his head and said nothing. Yuanyang squeaked: "Old lady, I drank too much yesterday..."
Naturally, Jia Cong couldn't let Yuanyang be in trouble, so he stood up and said: "Old lady, my grandson is asking you to apologize. After I went back last night, I saw Yuanyang and the three of them just talking and not eating, so they prepared a table of wine and food to accompany them. They ate some together.
Who knows, everyone was chatting happily and lost control. They all drank too much while drinking. The grandson was also drunk and lost his mind. He couldn't tell who was who, so he gave all three of them to him. Fell asleep. "
Amber, Jade and other maids opened their mouths in surprise after hearing this.
Then he looked at Yuanyang and Xiren with envy, "These two people are so lucky. I don't know if they did it on purpose?" '
When the old lady heard this, she also had a black line. Didn't this bastard say that she would wait until she was sixteen before consummating the marriage officially?
Damn it, not only did he sleep, but he slept with three people at once, who could he ask to reason with?
If the mandarin duck sleeps, he will sleep, and his maid will be given to him in the worst case.
But this girl, Xiren, was specially chosen by herself to give to Baoyu. The second family was also very satisfied with this girl. If she found out, she would probably make a fuss again.
This naughty kid never calms down, which is really sad.
"Brother Cong, didn't you say you would consummate your marriage formally when you were sixteen? So what do you mean?"
Jia Cong said with an embarrassed look: "Old lady, I thought so too, but who knew I drank too much, so I couldn't hold it back. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that all three of them were asleep."
Mother Jia rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe this man's words at all. One moment he was swearing, and the next moment he broke the vow.
"Yuanyang said it's okay. As long as she is willing, she can follow you. It's just that Xiren is the one I gave Baoyu to. What do you think I should do?"
Jia Cong said with an apologetic smile: "Old lady, what else can we do? Since this is the case, let Xiren follow me. If Baoyu is short of people, I will buy him some beautiful maids.
If there is no shortage of people, I will give him one thousand taels of silver as compensation. Besides, Xiren is much older than Baoyu. When Baoyu grows up, Xiren will become an old girl, and Baoyu will probably dislike her by then. "
Mother Jia really has nothing to do with her grandson. Now that everything is like this, she can only take advantage of him.
For the sake of a few maids, there was really no need to argue with him.
What he said makes sense. When Baoyu grows up and Xiren is in her twenties, Baoyu may dislike her.
"Well, since they are all yours, then you can lead them to your place and live a good life. But you are still too young after all, so you need to be more restrained.
Yuanyang, it’s a good home for you to follow Brother Cong. You should remind them more and come over to see my old lady more often when you have time. I’m still not used to your sudden departure. "
Xiren knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, old lady, for your support."
After hearing what Jia Mu said, Yuanyang couldn't help but shed tears. After all, Jia Mu treated her well.
Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed to Mother Jia and cried, "Thank you, old lady, for showing mercy. I am willing to stay with you and continue to serve you."
Jia Mu wondered: "What? You don't want to follow Brother Cong?"
Jia Cong helped Xiren and Yuanyang up and said with a smile: "Old lady, this time it's mainly because I was drunk. If I don't drink, I still have to wait until I am sixteen. My grandson knows that you are used to Yuanyang. To serve your sister, let her serve you first.
I will leave a yard for Sister Yuanyang over there, and let her stay there occasionally for a few days, and then take her over when the grandson is an adult. Of course, as long as the old lady is here, let Sister Yuanyang serve you, and treat it as a filial piety to your grandson. You. "
My mother laughed angrily when she heard this, and scolded her with a smile: "You brat, using my own people to serve me is still a sign of your filial piety. How do you think it's so beautiful?"
A burst of giggles came from the door, and Lin Daiyu and a group of little sisters walked in.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Old lady, in the words of Brother Cong, Brother Cong is not as beautiful as the old lady. Why don't you let Brother Cong think more beautiful?"
These words made Mother Jia laugh. She smiled and waved, and pulled Daiyu to her side. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
When this child first came here, he was very weak and it made me feel sad to see him.
I heard that brother Cong later taught her kung fu. After practicing for more than a year, her body actually got better and better, and she was no longer as weak as before.
I originally wanted to bring her and Baoyu together, but the two of them were not far or close.
Baoyu felt weak in front of Lin Yatou. Lin Yatou didn't like Baoyu very much, but got very close to Brother Cong.
Brother Cong is now in charge of Ningguo Mansion, which is a good choice.
She pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Brother Cong is getting more and more glib now. You should stop learning from him and don't let him teach you bad things."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that brother Cong is now thick-skinned and thin-skinned, and his words are becoming more and more out of tune."
These words made the old lady burst into laughter. Lin Daiyu was also laughing and laughing. Others also covered their mouths and snickered after hearing this.
This little girl is really bad, she always talks in the same way.
"Old lady, don't be coaxed by Sister Lin. I learned all this from her. I remember I wasn't like this before. I've been like this since I followed Sister Lin."
"Bah, what do you mean you followed me? You are really out of tune."
Xichun chuckled and said: "Brother and Sister Lin are naturally not together. Sister Lin and brother are fine. If nothing happens, you can fight. When you are tired, sit down and tell stories. We can also follow suit and listen. How wonderful. "
Daiyu heard this and said angrily, "Oh, Fourth Sister, you really dare to say anything. It seems you are itchy. Let's see how I deal with you."
After Xichun finished speaking, she ran to Jia Cong, "Brother, help me, the big devil is here."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister is absolutely right. Brother supports you. The two of us will deal with the big devil together."
Seeing Xichun hiding behind Jia Cong, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to give up.
Mother Jia watched the juniors bickering and smiled so happily that her unhappiness just now was wiped away.
After a few people laughed and laughed for a while, Jia Cong took Ping'er, Xiren and Yuanyang away.
From now on, Ping'er will be in charge of the entire Ningguo Mansion and will be quite busy, so she won't be distracted from taking care of herself.
Yanhong is in charge of the soap workshop, ice making, ice food, etc., and has a lot of things to do.
Xiaohong asked her to help Ping'er with the housekeeping, and she didn't have much time at ordinary times.
Only Qingwen and Xiangling are left. Qingwen is busy practicing martial arts every day, and Xiangling is a bit naive and not a proper person.
Let Xiren be the maid first and take care of his own daily life.
Before the marriage is consummated, Qingwen, Xiangling, Xiren, and Yuanyang should be regarded as their eldest maids.
Yuanyang mainly takes care of Jia Mu, while Xiren, Qingwen, and Xiangling are responsible for taking care of themselves.
Of course, other people will come when they are fine.
In the following days, Jia Cong reorganized the clan studies.
It was divided into a literary class and a martial arts class.
Literary classes study the Four Books and Five Classics, study eight-part essays, and focus on the imperial examination.
The martial arts class learns the art of war and martial arts, and is trained according to standard soldiers. After graduation, you will be a qualified soldier.
If you study hard and have some hope, stay in the liberal arts class.
Those who were naughty, did not study seriously, and had no hope all rushed to the martial arts class.
The entire clan school has been changed to a closed one, with one trip home once a month. Military law is also implemented, and those who don't follow the rules will be punished directly.
After this rectification and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, the entire clan school took on a new look and flourished.
I believe that after half a year, you will see the effects of the rectification.
They also took stock of the status of the clan members and made some new decisions based on the situation.
Elderly people in the clan who are over 60 years old will each receive a subsidy, paid on a monthly basis.
Families with widows and orphans without an adult man in the family, who are in difficulty, will also receive a monthly subsidy.
If there were men in the family who were unemployed, they were all arranged to work in Jia's Mining Company.
People who idle around and don't want to do anything, people who don't go to work when they are assigned, deserve to starve to death, and the clan just doesn't care, they just do whatever they want.
Jia Cong found a few older people from the clan who could read, write, and count, and established a clan committee.
The clan committee manages clan land and property, distributes subsidies according to standards, and manages all clan affairs.
Jia Cong is just a name, but he doesn't have time to manage these messy things. Everything is left to the clan committee to manage everything.
All you need to do is check the accounts at the end of each year. Those who are unqualified can be easily replaced at the end of the year.
