Shan Ziye's expression showed that this was not common.
But Feng Yibo was not very surprised when he heard that Lai Da's son was an official.
It was nothing more than donating an official position, which he had never done before.
Gouzi and Mengzi both had donated official posts.
He even switched to a real job!
Before donating an official position, one must deregister one's citizenship.
So this news can only mean that Lai Da's son was freed from slavery.
As for the official status, it is probably the same as Gouzi at that time.
It was the grace given by the Jia family.
Or maybe he needs to have an identity so that he can do things easily.
Of course, Feng Yibo was not surprised that the Lai family's son was an official, but he was surprised that the Lai family could buy such a large mansion in the inner city.
Still a little emotional.
Because from this incident, Feng Yibo also thought of other things.
I have seen him in Jia Mansion before, except for the legitimate sons and grandsons of Ning and Rong Mansion.
That is, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Lian, Jia Lan.
The rest, even the decent great-great-grandsons of the grass-roots generation.
When meeting the Lai brothers, they all respectfully call out "Grandpa Lai"!
At that time, I didn’t think it was anything. I thought it was just like Uncle Chen in my own family.
It is a sign of close relationship.
But now that I think about it, there are obvious differences.
Because everyone called him Uncle Chen, including himself.
As for the Lai brothers, the masters of the Ning and Rong houses still call them by their first names.
As such, there is only one explanation.
That is.
The two Lai brothers have been the stewards of Ning and Rong for a long time.
Now, his power in Jia's house is only half as good as that of an upright master.
Even surpassing the great-great-grandson of the other houses.
This is somewhat of a master-servant reversal.
Of course, Feng Yibo has no control over other families' affairs.
But from here to there, he was thinking.
Should we take a warning?
But thinking about it again, I felt it was unnecessary.
As long as he is still there, he can suppress everything in the mansion.
And as he joked before:
Best at accounts.
It's not like the Jia Mansion is full of misunderstandings.
As for after he is gone, it depends on the abilities of the descendants.
If it were like Jia Mansion, a bunch of trash would come out.
So what if he is as capable as Mr. Ning Rong, can he still take care of the affairs behind his back?
After the design of the mansion here was finalized, Feng Yibo asked Uncle Chen to handle the matter.
On the other side, Rongfu has Shan Ziye planning its system.
Saved a lot of financial resources.
But Gongzhong is still unavoidable.
Here, there are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, the Lai brothers, as well as a group of men, cleaning guests, domestic servants, etc.
Everyone has a share.
Of course, Wang Xifeng, who usually takes charge of the overall situation, is also indispensable.
But there wasn't much she could do to interfere.
Just relying on Jia Lian's favor, I just arranged a few places.
It seemed like Jia Yun and Aunt Zhao had begged her.
In order not to lose the reputation of the past, I arranged to go out anyway.
She has such a strong and demanding temperament.
This place is all controlled by men, so it's not easy to interfere.
But Wang Xifeng did not lose money during this period.
Because she had a new way to make money.
In addition to the original ones, use the monthly money in the house to release them.
Collect some interest.
At the last funeral of Mrs. Qin.
She also learned from Jingxu, an old nun in Shuiyue Temple, a special method to help people "eliminate disasters and solve problems."
Of course, not using Buddhism.
Instead, he relied on the power of the Jia family.
Using Jia Lian's name, he did a lot of "good things".
It turned out that on the day of the funeral, she took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to rest in Shuiyue An.
Baoyu only cares about Qin Zhong, and Qin Zhong only cares about intelligence.
But old nun Jingxu approached Wang Xifeng with the attitude of giving it a try.
It turns out that Jingxu is walking around in the back houses of many people in the city.
Occasionally, I work as a broker and help people connect.
If something can be done successfully, she will naturally benefit from it.
The reason why I asked Wang Xifeng this time was a coincidence.
When she became a monk, she was in Shancai Temple in Chang'an County.
There I met a rich man named Zhang.
The rich man Zhang has a daughter named Brother Jin.
One day when I was offering incense, I happened to be seen by the young master of the Li family, the brother-in-law of the Grand Master of Chang'an Mansion.
It hit me right then.
But this Miss Jin Ge has been promised to the young master who was originally the guard of Chang'an.
The former Chang'an garrison was a member of the old party and was implicated in the recent party struggle.
Suspension and retention.
What I didn't expect was that there was no news about Qi Fu yet.
But he was bullied.
When the Zhang family saw that he was losing power, they thought they might as well take the opportunity to defect to the Li family.
After the defender got the message, he naturally refused to lose face.
Not only did his family refuse to withdraw from the wedding ceremony, they also made things worse.
A lawsuit started with the Zhang family.
If this matter breaks out, the Zhang family will be at a loss.
So I looked for ways everywhere to suppress the matter.
Knowing that Jingxu knew many people, he begged her.
Although Jingxu is an old nun, he is familiar with every family in the capital.
I always knew that Chang'an Jiedu Yunguang had an old relationship with the Jia family.
So today I met Wang Xifeng and asked for help.
Want to try my luck.
Even if it doesn't work, she has nothing to lose.
Jingxu begged for help, and she didn’t say she was looking for Wang Xifeng.
He only asked her to forward it to Mrs. Wang and asked Jia Zheng to write a letter.
This is of course an excuse, and Wang Xifeng will certainly not pay attention to it.
How could she possibly cause trouble for Mrs. Wang?
He immediately excused himself and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my wife doesn't care about these things."
Jingxu naturally knew that Mrs. Wang would not pay attention to this matter, so the target was Wang Xifeng.
Immediately he tried to test: "Since the matter is not serious, if my wife doesn't care about it, can grandma take the initiative?"
Wang Xifeng smiled when he heard this, and still said:
"I don't wait for money, nor do I do such a thing."
Jingxu listened, pretending to be disappointed.
After a while, he sighed and said:
"That said, the Zhang family already knows and begged the mansion."
Jingxu often walks around Jia's house, so he naturally understands Wang Xifeng's temperament.
It was all an excuse before, but now it's her method.
Immediately, he looked disappointed and continued:
"I don't care now. The Zhang family doesn't say they have no time, and they don't want to express his gratitude. It seems that the family doesn't even have such an idea."
This is what pinpoints Wang Xifeng's pulse, knowing that she has always had a strong temper and is the most face-saving person.
You can't listen to this.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Xifeng sneered and said:
"You know me all the time, and you never believe in any retribution from the underworld."
This means there is something behind the words, telling Jingxu.
She knew this was not a good thing.
Knowing that Jingxu came to see her, she had no good intentions!
He also knows that breaking up a person's marriage will lead to retribution from the underworld.
"No matter what it is, I can do it as long as I say yes."
After all the talk, Jingxu still grabbed the pulse gate.
But she wasn't stupid enough to agree to it for nothing after being provoked.
"You ask him to bring three thousand taels of silver, and I will do this for him."
When Wang Xifeng thought about it, this was not a big deal.
Three thousand taels is already a big deal for a lion.
Little did he know that the rich man was not short of money.
I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined first, and then I won't be able to climb high.
After hearing this, Jingxu suddenly looked happy and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
He took a deep breath and said, "This isn't difficult."
"I can't compare to the amount of money they spend pulling fabrics and fabrics."
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she knew that she was going to be short. She started to pull back and said:
"These three thousand taels of silver are just for payment for the boy who was sent there, so that he can earn some hard money. I don't want any money."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Speaking of this, he added with a look of disdain:
"It's only thirty thousand taels, I can still get it at this moment."
When Jingxu heard this, she knew that she had just made a mistake.
At that moment, he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would really want thirty thousand taels, so he hurriedly said:
"In that case, grandma will be merciful tomorrow."
"Look at how busy I am, where am I missing?"
Wang Xifeng decided to go back on her word and ask for more.
But after all, he couldn’t lose face and finally said:
"Since I have complied with your request, I will naturally end it for you."
Jingxu also saw her dissatisfaction and quickly said:
"If you have to deal with this matter for others, you will naturally be too busy to do anything."
"But if I put it in front of grandma, if I add more, it won't be enough for grandma to handle at once!"
When she saw the corners of Wang Xifeng's mouth slightly raised, she knew she had taken the photo in the right place and continued:
"As the saying goes: 'He who can do more work'."
"When my wife saw that grandma was so talented, she gave it to grandma more and more, but grandma also had to take care of her body."
Along the way, Jingxu continued to flatter Wang Xifeng.
In the past, Xifeng always served Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang carelessly.
Others in the house are either afraid of her or stay away from her.
Who has ever flattered me like this?
Therefore, regardless of being tired, he started chatting with Jingxu.
Being photographed makes it even more useful.
On the same day, he sent Lai Wang'er to the city to find Zhu Wen's husband.
In the name of Jia Lian, I wrote a letter.
Send it to Chang'an Jiedu Yunguang overnight.
Yun Guang also came from a noble family, and his ancestors had served under the public account of Rong Guo.
Later, although the Yun and Jia families were not related by marriage, they continued to move around.
Now it can be regarded as one of the backbones of the Honorable Party.
Chang'an Mansion is under his rule, and he has heard about this.
Originally, the matter had nothing to do with me and I didn't get involved.
Now I have received a "letter from Jia Lian," the head of the Rongguo Mansion.
Is there any reason why he should not allow small things to happen to him?
He immediately wrote a reply and relied on the power of the Jia family to beat the defender.
Jingxu informed the Zhang family about this and they could cancel the engagement.
The guards were also beaten to the point of losing their temper by Yun Guang.
He still has to wait for his recovery, if he offends the four princes and eight princes again.
Then there will be no chance.
At the moment, I can only swallow my anger and take back the betrothal gift.
What I didn't expect was.
Parents who love power and are greedy for money have raised a daughter who is knowledgeable and passionate.
Wen De resigned from her ex-husband and promised Li Men.
Miss Jin Ge of the Zhang family quietly committed suicide with a sweat towel.
The son of guard is also a love type.
After hearing that Brother Zhang Jin had hanged himself, he also drowned himself in the river.
The two of them were like Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi.
One "hangs himself on the southeastern branch" and the other "raises his body to go to the clear pond".
Poor Zhang and Li's family were also unhappy, and ended up with "nothing in their lives and money."
Only Wang Xifeng enjoyed three thousand taels in peace.
After this is done, Jingxu will get an advantage.
He often took over some lawsuits and sent them to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng did it several times and became more courageous.
He also accumulated a lot of floating wealth.
Especially after Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine, the Jia family became even more powerful.
What Wang Xifeng did, and so on.
Already countless.
Poor Jia Lian, he was still proud of having saved a lot of private money.
Little did he know that his tricks were all over the place.
