Chapter 1121 Chapter 72 of Gengzi Volume: Tear
After explaining all the matters clearly to Jia She, Feng Ziying discovered that Jia She was not as unbearable as she had expected. Perhaps his character was indeed unbearable, but as a man who was treated poorly by his mother but could not tolerate it, You can also think of the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion who made money through various side ways. It is not that simple to sit firmly in the Rongguo Mansion with thousands of people.
Everyone knows that because of the ancestor's favoritism, the second wife was favored more. Jia Zheng and Baoyu were all more favored by the ancestor. Even the family was always managed by Mrs. Wang until it was later handed over to Jia Lian's wife. Wang Xifeng, that's because Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece, but no one can deny that Jia She is the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion and a first-class general.
A hundred years after our ancestors, it’s hard to say who will have the final say in the Jia family, and this title will definitely follow Jia Lian’s lineage. No matter how favored Jia Zheng and Baoyu are, they will eventually get a branch family with more points. The child's property is considered a good ending.
If the families are not separated, Jia Zheng and Baoyu will have to live in the shadow of Jia She and Jia Lian all their lives, unless Jia Zheng's fifth-grade idle official can really do something famous, but obviously, if Jia Zheng can With that kind of ability, he wouldn't have been working in the Ministry of Industry for decades.
The impression of Jia She has changed, but it can only be seen as a collaborator. Since he is a collaborator, Feng Ziying also has to make some requirements for the other party, including that the rhythm must be according to his own arrangements.
Although he didn't know what Feng Ziying meant by the rhythm, Jia She also vaguely estimated that it might be related to government affairs, but this was not his concern. He only needed to do a good job in accordance with Feng Ziying's requirements.
"My dear nephew, how about we have a drink at Yu Bo's place at noon?" Jia She was in an unusually good mood, having negotiated such a big deal, although there will definitely be a lot of work to do next, and he will definitely be very busy in the following period. , but Jia She was satisfied.
It doesn't matter whether you are busy or hard, the key is to have money income. Even Jia She could faintly feel that the vague contempt and disdain of the martial artists who came into contact with him in the past had disappeared, replaced by A kind of recognition and respect, this sense of respect that Jia She has never received in Rongguo Mansion is far better than the awe that people in the mansion have for him.
Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment.
Drinking alone with Jia She will definitely attract the attention of many people in the Rongguo Mansion. However, no matter how secretive Jia She is, sooner or later it will gradually become known to the public. Hundreds of generals and assistants will involve at least There are also hundreds of families, and there are different opinions. How can the secret be kept?
It's just a matter of using various information asymmetries to scare the other party first, making them look forward to the early return of their family members, so that they can keep the secret for the time being. But people are so talkative, and in Feng Ziying's opinion, it is impossible for them to keep the secret for one or twenty days. It’s so valuable, maybe it will spread throughout the world in a few days.
With Jia She's temperament, he naturally doesn't care about anyone's opinions. What's more, there is nothing unscrupulous about this kind of thing, and he can gain a lot of favors from various martial arts heroes. Why not do it?
If Jia Zheng and his wife knew about this, it was hard for Feng Ziying to judge their mentality. However, since Jia Zheng was about to go to Jiangxi to serve as an academic administrator, he probably would not have any opinions. At most, he would be surprised at why he suddenly treated Jia She in another way. It's just a little surprising at first glance.
As for the other people in the house, Feng Ziying naturally doesn't care. Even Jia's mother can't say there's anything wrong with supporting her eldest son, right? You can’t say that your second brother has gone to Jiangxi to work as a political student, and it’s wrong for your first brother to earn some money in a reasonable and legal way, right?
"Okay, then I'll bother Shibo." Feng Ziying thought for a while and agreed.
"Okay, Shanbao, let the back room cook some special dishes immediately, and Brother Keng and I will have a good drink." Jia She was overjoyed.
This business is of course more than that. Although these thirty or forty people basically include their own connections, it does not mean that they cannot expand wider channels.
People trust people, people introduce people, even for those families with a ransom of 5,000 yuan, if they accumulate a small amount, they may be able to make a few thousand taels. This all depends on the brother Keng in front of them. Thinking of this, Jia Forgiveness will greatly increase your motivation.
“You left food?!” Wang Xifeng couldn’t believe her ears. Jia She actually left food? This is the first person for the first time. Even Sun Shaozu has come to the house so many times, but he seems to have never left any food, right?
And Brother Keng actually agreed.
This is also not in line with Brother Keng's perception of Jia She. Wang Xifeng is very aware of Brother Keng's disdain for Jia She. Now he can actually stay to eat and drink, and even add dishes to the kitchen. This is so shocking.
"Yes, Wang Shanbao went to the kitchen to say hello and asked Sister-in-law Liu to prepare quickly." Hongyu was also surprised. It was estimated that the news would spread like wildfire in the house immediately.
“Is it because Brother Cong also wants to become Master Feng’s disciple like Brother Lang?” Ping’er asked hesitantly.
"What should we do?" Ping'er also ran out of ideas, "Uncle Feng is leaving to return to Yongping Mansion tomorrow, so we can't..."
Seeing Ping'er blushing, Wang Xifeng also thought about the situation that day, and felt numb all over. She quickly shook her head and put those situations in her mind away, "No hurry, since we have to eat at the house, this won't happen for a while. Then leave, and let Xiaohong keep an eye on her. As long as there is any sign of leaving, you can wait outside the Yimen and pretend to meet her..."
“But what if the eldest master sends it out?” Ping’er asked again.
Wang Xifeng was also stunned, "You can't, right? Didn't you ask Wang Shanbao to wait at the door before?"
Ping'er shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. We've already left food for everyone. How has the lord ever left food for anyone?"
Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said, "No matter what, you and Xiaohong go and keep an eye on him first. If you really can't go out, just wait outside the corner door. I don't believe he can disappear without seeing anyone when he goes out."
"But grandma, once Uncle Feng goes out, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the house again." Ping'er reminded.
"He can't enter the house, I can only leave the house." Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth, unwilling to understand what kind of medicine Jia She and Feng Ziying were selling in the gourd.
Facing the stern-faced Wang, Jia Zheng was also speechless.
Seeing that the Mongols had begun to retreat, Jia Zheng had already begun to think about preparing to go south. Naturally, the Wang family would not follow, so only Aunt Zhao would follow, which was what Jia Zheng expected.
He and Mr. Wang have long been in a state of never getting tired of seeing each other, and never getting tired of each other means that they are only never tired of each other, and will not reach the state of being tired of each other. In other words, it is a state of indifference, that is, Because there is Yuanchun in the palace and Baoyu in the palace, the other two people still have to maintain the appearance of husband and wife.
"Madam, who can Brother Keng want to see? Who can interfere with this? My eldest brother is inviting Brother Keng to a banquet. It's normal that he didn't invite me. I will be going south soon. I am also very busy during this period. Besides, Yes, didn’t eldest brother and I have a drink with Brother Keng some time ago?”
Jia Zheng couldn't understand Wang's mentality. Brother Sukeng didn't usually come to his place. Sometimes he went directly to the garden. Everyone knew that he just went to see Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou. They tacitly understood how Wang was doing. , why is Mrs. Wang so unhappy this time when eldest brother keeps brother Keng's meal?
"Sir, we all know what uncle is like. Have you ever seen him staying with foreign guests?" Wang's face was calm, but her tone was unkind, "Although I don't know what uncle and Brother Keng said a few days ago. But my uncle has never been very fond of Brother Keng, so why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic? If there is nothing weird in it, I won't believe it."
Jia Zheng was startled for a moment and then realized that what Wang said was reasonable. The whole family knew his brother's character, so why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic about Brother Keng?
“Could it be that the eldest brother wants to let the second girl...” Jia Zheng asked tentatively.
Mrs. Wang nodded and shook her head, "Maybe there is something to do with it, but uncle shouldn't be so warm. There must be something more tempting to him. I am worried that uncle will not want the reputation of our Rongguo Mansion. Go do something, if anything goes wrong, it won’t be your uncle’s fault alone.”
Hit the words, he wanted Jia Zheng to find out what was going on between Jia She and Feng Ziying.
In the past, Mrs. Wang would not have been so interested in asking about these things. Even if Jia She and Feng Ziying had something going on, she would not bother to ask about it. As long as it did not affect her own life in the house, they would be left alone. But now, the situation Something is different.
Wang Xifeng came to her a few days ago and mentioned that Jia Lian took a concubine and gave birth to a son in Yangzhou. He said that maybe in a year and a half, Jia Lian would come back with his concubine and give birth to a son, and he might even get a wife in Yangzhou, so she asked. I can't stay in the house anymore.
This makes Wang a little sad.
Sister Feng has been in the mansion for several years, especially the years when she managed the affairs of the mansion for her. She has worked hard and accomplished a lot, but now she has ended up like this, which is really heartbreaking.
But this is secondary. Sister Feng told her that the situation in the house is going from bad to worse. From the search of the money obtained by the Lai family to the current situation, it can be maintained until the middle of next year at most, which means there is still more than half a year. The family is about to enter a state of constant resistance and sales. The question is, how long can these low-priced properties in Rongguo Mansion be able to sustain?
Sister Feng’s intention to leave may not be without this reason, but who else can solve the problem of this clever woman struggling to make a living without rice?
