At this time, Mrs. Xing, who was sitting on the side and had never opened her mouth, spoke, "Brother and sister, I didn't say you, although the eldest brother said that he was not born to you, but no matter how he said it, he was the eldest son of the second brother, you can't do this, you want to let the outside hear it and think that our family abuses the concubine." ”

Mrs. Wang listened to Mrs. Xing's words, she was so angry that she was smoking, and she also abused her concubine, as Jia Ke is now, can people abuse her? As long as he just started this idea, Jia Zheng could beat himself to death.

Mother Jia was not happy to see Mrs. Xing adding fuel to the fire, although Mrs. Wang was a little stingy and selfish, but she had not yet reached the point of abusing her concubine. Otherwise, how did the children in the family grow up?

"You all shut up for me, don't be like the mother-in-law outside, can't control your mouth, and talk nonsense. I am in charge of the eldest brother's affairs, and all the expenses of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion will go to the public in the future. Jia Mu sat on the top and made a final decision, and no one was saying anything at this time.

And Jia Yu doesn't have any opinions on these, anyway, no matter what, these properties may not fall into his hands, so Jia Yu has eaten sea flowers all these years and has not had any restraint because of the constraints in the house.

Jia Ke looked at this posture from the side, there was no way to distinguish it too clearly from Rongguo Mansion, but the current inner bag of Rongguo Mansion is indeed a little empty, if you bear all the expenses of Wuyang Hou Mansion, I am afraid that you will have to eat grain.

So Jia Ke stepped forward and said to Jia's mother and Jia Zheng: "If the old lady and father say this, then I will be disrespectful, but our family is so big, and the expenses in the house are indeed a lot." Starting from this year, every year during the Chinese New Year, my son will send 50,000 taels of silver to the house. One is to pay filial piety to the old lady, and the other is to reduce some of the burden in the house. ”

When the old lady heard this, she felt that it was still feasible, and now the house is indeed not rich, and the annual income is only forty or fifty thousand taels of silver, which is far from the previous income of more than 100,000 yuan a year when Jia Daishan was here, and now she is just barely able to make ends meet, which is still because someone has given them ice and carbon in recent years. If you add the expenses of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, I'm afraid you will not be able to make ends meet.

Now that the family has not been separated, Jia Ke gives 50,000 taels of silver to the house every year, which can be regarded as a proper meaning. And with this money, the family will be rich. After that, everyone was better, and her grandson Jia Ke was not short of 50,000 taels of silver a year to live.

"Since you have this filial piety, I will accept it, to be honest with you, the house is indeed not rich, this is still the past few years you have been repeatedly promoted, and you have been named Hou, and the ice and carbon respect outside have been sent from time to time, if there were not even these forty or fifty thousand taels of silver before, our house would have eaten a lot of food." Mother Jia said with some sadness that she was born in a marquis's family, and when she first got married, it was the heyday of Rongguo Mansion, where did she suffer such a dilemma.

Jia Zheng was originally going to object, but saw that Jia's mother had already agreed. And it seems that I heard Jia's mother say that there are indeed some difficulties in the house, and Jia Ke, as his son, naturally wants to share some of the burden in the house, which is understandable, so he stopped talking.

And Mrs. Xing, who was sitting next to her, heard that Jia Ke had to send 50,000 taels of silver to the house every year, and her eyes had already lit up. Thinking that 50,000 taels of silver are piled up there, I'm afraid it's all a small mountain. I turned my heart around, thinking about how to take the power of the housekeeper from Mrs. Wang, so that I could get some oil and water from it.

After Jia's mother saw that the family affairs were arranged, she asked everyone to disperse, only saying that Jia Ke was tired today, and she would set up a few tables of good banquets in a few days, and invite relatives and friends to be lively.

So this time, everyone happily went back to each other. As soon as the evening arrived, the entire Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu had already spread. Jia Ke is now the Minister of Military Aircraft, commanding more than 100,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside Beijing, so these minions of the Jia family are shaking one by one, and they are a little more arrogant than before.

It wasn't even the next day, when the news spread outside, and that night, many family members of the offenders went to the door of these housekeepers of the Ningrong Second Mansion with white flowers and silver, hoping to ask for convenience, give more preferential treatment to their relatives in prison, or turn big things into small things.

Rongguo Mansion is not very good, after Lai Mama's **, the current housekeeper Lin Zhixiao is exquisite, and the stewards below are also better than monkeys, and now their uncle has not yet taken office, where dare to accept these silvers. Even if it is the cashier, it will not be easy to do things until their uncle has sat firmly in his seat.

And because of the lack of discipline on the side of Ning Guofu, there are no such scruples, as long as they come to send money, they are all comers, they are really bold, I just don't know how they can understand this matter in the end.

Besides, when Mrs. Wang returned to her courtyard, she remembered that she was not only reprimanded by Jia's mother in Jia's mother's room just now, but also robbed by Mrs. Xing, who usually looked down on her, so angry that she smashed all the porcelain in the room clean.

But after Mrs. Wang smashed things, things still had to be done, and Jia Ke was now the face of the house, and his affairs were much more important than other people's affairs.

So Mrs. Wang ordered someone to summon Zhou Rui's family, these things must be done by someone, and she must also have someone to discuss.

Soon Zhou Rui's family came to Mrs. Wang's room, saluted Mrs. Wang first, and then asked, "Madame summoned the little one, what do you have to do?" ”

"What else can I do, isn't it the evil obstacle that Aunt Zhou gave birth to, the old lady asked me to clean up the Wuyang Hou Mansion, arrange manpower everywhere, and let him move over tomorrow, saying that he is still crowded in the small courtyard with Aunt Zhou, and he is too disrespectful." Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"What does that mean?" Zhou Ruijia asked cautiously, she didn't dare to offend Jia Ke now, she was also on the way here, she heard that Jia Ke was promoted, and now she is a member of the prime minister, with her little minion, if she offends Jia Ke at all, she will be sent to hell by those who stammer Jia Ke.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "What else can I do?" Just send some people to fill the yard for him. ”

Zhou Rui's family heard Mrs. Wang say this, and suddenly felt that her young lady was so stupid, she only had one acre and three points of land in her eyes, and she couldn't see it well, so she had to explain it to her by herself, otherwise when she offended Jia Ke, as long as their uncle was a little careful, it would be enough for Mrs. Wang, and maybe she would have to be affected by her when the time came.

"Madame looks at the slave maid, this is a good thing, Madame does not need to be so angry."

"It's a good thing, I don't think it's almost overwhelming us."

"Madame can't think like this, turn it over and think about it, as long as the uncle moves to the Wuyang Hou Mansion, the furniture in this Rongguo Mansion will not be all the two brothers' in the future, and in the future, the two brothers will definitely be able to soar." Zhou Ruijia's efforts were explained to Mrs. Wang.

After listening to Zhou Ruijia's words, Mrs. Wang's heart also began to turn. Isn't that what it is? Now if Jia Ke goes to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, he says that he is not separated, but in fact, it is almost the same as splitting up. Moreover, the Wuyang Hou Mansion has to give 50,000 taels of silver here every year, and in addition to the expenses of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, there can also be 20,000 or 30,000 taels left. Thinking about Jia Ke's current identity, I don't think he will compete with his two younger brothers for family property, so in this way, Jia Ke and himself really have no contradictions, but now Jia Lian's side will also have a certain inheritance right to Rongguo Mansion in the future, and he has to find a way to hold him in his hands, not because he will have a fork in the future.

Mrs. Wang wanted to understand this, and her heart was much calmer, and then she said to Zhou Rui's family: "I understand what you said, since this is the case, then let's do things more beautifully." You choose a few good cooks and send them over there, as well as Jia Ke's personal maid, and the little maids who clean around. These people can pick some casually, as long as they are not too crooked and cracked, they can explain the past to him, as for the minions in other places, you can just look at the selection, but those who are not indiscriminate can't be selected. Don't arrange any important things in important places, these people are all arranged by the eldest brother and his daughter-in-law in the end. ”

Zhou Rui's family listened to Mrs. Wang's instructions, and hurriedly agreed, she must do this matter beautifully, hoping to show her face in front of Jia Ke, so that she can get his protection in the future. As for Mrs. Wang, now it's just a perfunctory look at her, and now who doesn't know that the uncle is the pillar of Jiafu, if you don't bother him, who else will slap her.

Mrs. Wang didn't know her heart, but now she was thinking about how to please Jia Ke, and thought that she understood what she meant, so she asked her to go out to do errands.

As soon as Zhou Rui's family came out of Mrs. Wang's door, she ran forward as if flying, and she went to Lin Zhixiao to ask for a roster of various people in the mansion, so that she could choose the candidates in Jia Ke's mansion.

When she arrived at Lin Zhixiao's room, she found that Lin Zhixiao had just entered the door.

It turned out that as soon as Jia Ke left Jia's mother's room, he sent someone to find Lin Zhixiao, and Jia Ke waited for Lin Zhixiao in the small study specially prepared for him in Jia's mansion.

Now Jia Ke's status in that Jia Mansion has even surpassed Jia Yu, and only Jia Mu and Jia Zheng can suppress him. Therefore, no one dared to delay what Jia Ke ordered. Soon Lin Zhixiao appeared in front of Jia Ke.

"Uncle, the slave is here, what do you have to order?" As soon as Lin Zhixiao entered the door, he first saluted Jia Ke, and then asked Jia Ke what instructions he had?

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few letters, you have to send someone to Xuanfu Town, I still have a few concubines there, among them there are also people you know, that is, Chuncao and Qiaolian, and there is a new one named Lanxiang in Xuanfu Town, I am going to take them back." You send one of the letters to Huang Baifeng, who is now in charge of the affairs of Xuanfu Town, and he should naturally know what to do. Another letter, to the spring grass and them. Let them be prepared, my housekeeper in Xuanfu Town is Qian Mao, so please trouble him to take care of these things. Jia Ke thought that he would rarely go to Xuanfu Town in the future, so he thought about bringing back the relatives of Xuanfu Town, and after saying these words, he handed over the two letters that had been prepared to Lin Zhixiao.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll do it. Let them set off early tomorrow morning, and they will definitely pick up a few aunts this morning, so as to save the uncle from worrying. Lin Zhixiao immediately gave Jia Ke a package ticket.
