Chapter 58: Ruthless
waited until Lin Ya's figure walked to the door of the small courtyard, Jiang Long turned his body, pretended to look at the past casually, and thought in his heart that Lin Ya and Shui Lan had left together before, but when they met again, Shui Lan had already disappeared.
Then Shui Lan should be one of the eyeliners arranged by the Lin family to monitor Lin Ya, and Lin Ya took the opportunity to get rid of it!
Pushing Lin Ya so decisively and ruthlessly, Jiang Long did not palpitate, but was quite satisfied in his heart.
If he just crossed over to an ordinary family, he might prefer to marry an ordinary and kind woman, he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, and ordinary kind and gentle women will not restrain him and have no worries.
He is sure to make a career, and when his career is growing step by step and his wealth is increasing step by step, he can help his kind wife straighten out all the things in the backyard with a little thought.
But in the Jing family, the Jing family is a wealthy mansion, even some of the housekeepers and slaves in the house are quite scheming and means, and the wealthy families are more inclined to the high, and the slaves are even more high and low, you are kind, he will think that you are weak and easy to bully.
It can be said that it is difficult for a woman who is too kind and gentle to live and gain a foothold in a wealthy family that has long been standing for a long time.
The most haode result is also to be deceived by the slaves and live a foolish life.
It's simple to build a new wealthy family, but it's important to pay attention when choosing people, pick more simple and honest ones, and the stewards can be a little scheming, but the conduct should be good, but if you want to straighten out a wealthy family that has been standing for more than a hundred years, it is really not so easy.
For example, the servants of the Jing family, at least one-third of them should have developed the temperament of praising the high and stepping on the low, falling into the well, acting when the opportunity arises, and pushing the wall down to everyone, and only these scheming people know how to please the upper side and mix up a position.
These people are divided into interest groups and maintain the normal operation of the mansion, what should you do if you want to straighten out the Jingfu?
Take them all?
That's a no-no!
If there is no suitable candidate to replace him, there will definitely be chaos in the house.
The right person does not mean that you have the ability alone, but also have enough prestige to convince the public, and prestige is built up slowly over time.
And now there is still Mrs. Jing in the Jing Mansion, and some stewards and servants are quite decent in front of Mrs. Jing, such as Zhang Jiang and Yao Chen, etc., these people have been with Mrs. Jing for a long time, and they have already developed a strong affection for each other, how can Jiang Long say that he can take it?
Reality simply does not allow for Jiang Long's drastic reforms.
Therefore, the wife that Jiang Long wants at this moment must have scheming and means.
And being ruthless enough can help it gain a foothold in the house and gain a firm foothold step by step.
Jialan Temple and his entourage let Dejianglong know one more thing, that is, the current prince and Jingfu do not deal with each other, which makes him feel a lot of pressure on his body, and similarly, the future hostess of Jingfu also has to share it together, so that it is naturally more impossible for him to marry an ordinary woman who only knows how to be gentle and kind.
Mrs. Jing chatted with Yao's mother for a few more words, and then asked everyone to retreat, only saying that she wanted to talk to Jiang Long alone.
During this period, Delis sent someone to greet Jiang Long.
Mrs. Jing was not dissatisfied that Dai Lisi did not come in person, and she was a little supportive.
Although Jingfu has been silent for many years, there are many enemies, but it is not that there is really no contact with other wealthy families, back then Jing Lao Hou Ye and Jing Xiao Hou Ye also made some friends with similar righteousness, Jiang Long's attack should have spread a long time ago, and those people must have sent people over to ask if they want to help.
Delis is in charge of the affairs of the house, and at this time she is busy receiving and has to reply one by one.
It's true that I can't leave.
The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle reluctantly glanced at Jiang Long before turning to leave.
Jiang Long suddenly said when he saw that Yao's mother was about to retreat with Zhang Jiang's and Yao Chen's and others: "Nanny, I have an ancient prescription here, which is quite effective for treating external injuries, and when I write it down and you take it to make it well, I will immediately send it to Captain Chen and others." ”
Yao's mother had already received a few ancient prescriptions from Jianglong, so she didn't feel anything.
But Mrs. Jing had a hint of curiosity in her heart, where did her grandson learn the ancient prescription?
But he didn't show it on his face, and he didn't ask out loud.
Jiang Long followed Mrs. Jing into a side room, and Yahuan had already taken a pen and paper and put it on the table, standing aside to study ink.
Walking over and sitting at the table, Jiang Long rolled up his sleeves, picked up the red pen in his right hand, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, and then wrote ancient prescriptions on the spread out snow-white paper.
Mrs. Jing had seen Jiang Long's handwriting when she was in Jialan Temple, and then she saw Jiang Long's pen like a god, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the iron drew silver hook, and when she was satisfied, she was also curious, when did her grandson practice such haode calligraphy?
But after thinking about it carefully, she smiled again, although she is very concerned about her grandson's life matters, and it can be said that she takes care of everything, but because Jing Jianglong is not in good health, she has never urged Jing Jianglong to improve.
When Jing Jianglong was a child, she had seen Jing Jianglong practice calligraphy, and the original body was still young at that time, and it was purely written.
She watched from the sidelines, but for a bit of fun.
But when she grew up, she hadn't paid attention to Jing Jianglong's studies for many years.
So it's not surprising that I don't know that my grandson has practiced a good handwriting.
After a while, Jiang Long wrote a pair of ancient prescriptions, blew the ink with his mouth, handed it to Yao's mother, and told him seriously, this ancient prescription is very rare, don't pass it on easily.
This ancient prescription was actually taught to Jiang Long by Master Ma in his previous life, but back then, Western medicine had a quick effect and good efficacy, so Jiang Long just memorized it and didn't care, and now in this Great Qi Dynasty, this ancient prescription has a place to use.
Yao's mother promised to be very careful not to pass it on, and reached out to take the prescription.
Counting Captain Chen, a total of four guards were seriously injured, and they are still unconscious, so they have to boil medicine and send it over there as soon as possible.
"Ya'er was frightened before, Du Juan was also frightened, and she was even more tired from running all the way, you send two more maids to guard Ya'er over there, replace Du Juan and let her rest well." Jiang Long opened his mouth to command again.
"Hmm." When Yao's mother heard that Jiang Long cared about Lin Ya, her eyes lit up, she answered, turned around and left in a hurry.
Old Madam Jing was also very pleased that Jiang Long suddenly cared about Lin Ya.
The status of women in this era is far inferior to that of men, Lin Ya has already married, there is no way out, if Jiang Long has always refused to accept Lin Ya, then Lin Ya's life must be extremely miserable.
Back then, because Mrs. Jing was married by the emperor's decree, her mother-in-law didn't like the old marquis, and she had the same experience, so she was very sympathetic to Lin Ya.
Mrs. Jing waved her hand at this time, signaling the maids in the house to step back, intending to ask about Jiang Long's attack.
But at this time, the maid who was guarding the door of the house suddenly announced, "Old lady, Hardy, Zizid, and several other dignitaries who live in the mansion have come to ask for a meeting. ”
"Let them in." Old Madam Jing was stunned for a moment before she spoke.
Outside the previous small courtyard.
Hearing Du Juan mention Shui Lan, Lin Ya, who was originally a little irritable by Du Juan's forced questioning, was flustered.
The scene of stabbing Shui Lan and pushing him down the pool suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
I was afraid in my heart, and subconsciously clenched the little hands hidden in my sleeves tightly.
"She fell into the pool and drowned." While Lin Ya was afraid, she also suddenly remembered her younger brother who was still in the Lin Mansion, her purpose in killing Shui Lan was not to get rid of the eyeliner around her and get rid of the control of the Lin family as soon as possible?
If Du Juan sees through and transmits the news back at this time, even if the Lin family still wants to use her younger brother to pinch her, her younger brother will not be in danger of life, but her younger brother is afraid that he will have to suffer a great meal.
Speaking of Lin Ya's heart is extremely tough, maybe as a woman, she has times of vulnerability, but as long as she thinks that her younger brother is still suffering in the Lin family, being bullied, abused, and insulted, she will suddenly become stronger!
Lin Ya continued to walk slowly, answering with her mouth, but her beautiful face became cold.
She knew that she couldn't show her weakness and weakness at this time, otherwise Du Juan would definitely show her flaws if she continued to ask.
"What?" Hearing Lin Ya's answer, Du Juan was shocked.
"We fled together to the waterhole, and it was she holding my feet down there that I climbed up the tree." Lin Ya's eyes suddenly turned red at this time, and two lines of tears flowed out, revealing a sad look, "I just climbed the branch, and three gray wolves sprang out of the woods, Shui Lan was frightened, and when I climbed the tree, I was a little anxious, and the result was ......."
Lin Ya's voice choked, "As a result, Shui Lan fell into the pool of water if she was not careful." ”
"I reached out to pull her, but I couldn't!"
Du Juan's eyes were fixed on Lin Ya's face, trying to distinguish the truth of Lin Ya's words.
But Lin Ya's performance today is different from the past, she is tough and changeable, so that she can't tell whether Lin Ya is telling the truth or lying, and she has scruples.
"You'd better tell the truth, or your brother, huh!"
In the end, Du Juan did not persecute again.
She and Shui Lan were sent here to spy on Lin Ya, and they had talked in private.
It was unanimously agreed that although Lin Ya felt very sorry for her younger brother, and Lin Zhi was indeed Lin Ya's biggest handle, but Lin Ya, who was already married, had no worries about her life, so if the Lin family or the two of them persecuted too much, then if Lin Ya really let go and no longer care about Lin Zhi, then what kind of revenge the Lin family would get, but the lives of the two of them would definitely not be guaranteed.
As the young lady of Jingfu, Lin Ya didn't even need any reasonable reason to want their lives.
Just find an excuse and let people pull down the board, and they will have to see Hades.
Lin Ya didn't know what Du Juan was thinking in her heart, and she breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this.
The master and servant went to their own courtyard, each with his own thoughts.
Back in the small courtyard, the two had just changed their clothes, and they heard the two maids standing outside the door begging to see them.
Let the two maids come in, and Lin Ya learned that it was Yao's mother who knew that Du Juan was also frightened today, so she was worried that Du Juan would not serve well, so she sent two maid rings over to replace Du Juan.
"Young lady, Mother Yao also said that Shui Lan didn't come back, and there is a missing big girl ring on your side, and I asked you if you plan to let the house send one over, or if you personally pick one."
A little girl blinked and spoke.
Yahuan is divided into three levels, the first class Yahuan has the highest status, serving the master closely, and also helping the master manage and collect money, clothes and other items, and the monthly silver is second only to the housekeeper and steward in the house among the servants.
The second-class maid ring is mostly to deliver news and run errands, and it is more decent to do some needlework in her spare time.
The third-class maid has to do the work of sprinkling and cleaning, wiping the furniture in the room, etc., but it is not too hard, because there are mothers-in-law in the master's courtyard who specialize in heavy work.
