"Third Young Master, have you heard, the uncle of the Wang family is going back to Beijing in the next two days!"

Not long after returning to the small courtyard where she lived, the little maid Lingque came over with a gossip on her face and whispered: "I heard that the second wife is very happy, and the old lady also invited the eldest master and the second master to talk!" ”

"How do you know that, little girl?"

Glancing at the spirit sparrow, Jia Cong said angrily: "Uncertain news, don't spread it around, it will be discovered by the housekeeper and grandmother, you feel good!" ”

"Why doesn't the third young master believe it?"

The sparrow pursed her mouth and retorted unhappily: "The news came from the second room, with a nose and eyes, I heard that the old lady wants the eldest master and the second master to entertain the uncle of the Wang family!" ”

Jia Cong suddenly understood the reason why the eldest master was abnormal.

This is, the news of Wang Ziteng's return to Beijing, and the old lady's reaction stimulated, planning to push Lin Ruhai out of the ring?

And no wonder......

At least at this time, on the surface, Rongguo Mansion is still the head of the four major families in Jinling.

The old lady's actions obviously have the meaning of 'falling into her own identity' and slapping herself in the face.

In the original work of Red Mansions, there was no way, the entire four major families of Jinling could only rely on Wang Ziteng to support him, otherwise he would collapse completely.

But the current situation is different, Rongguo Mansion can still use Lin Ruhai's power to pinch it.

No matter how you say it, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the third grade, although there are obvious signs of marginalization, it is not a reason why Rongguo Mansion does not pay attention to it.

When Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, Rongguo Mansion didn't say anything, and waited for Lin Ruhai to take the initiative to come to the door to visit, and the treatment was immediately different when he was replaced by Wang Ziteng.

The old lady may take it for granted, and the second room has no opinion, but the eldest man feels unhappy.

Obviously, what Jia Cong said to him more than a year ago still worked.

The existence of Lin Ruhai can avoid the risk that Rongguo Mansion has to hang himself on the tree of Wang Ziteng.

The eldest lord used to be beautiful, can the title of the first gentleman in the capital be blown out casually?

It's said, it's just said......

When the eldest lord was at his most beautiful, even the princes of the same generation did not dare to take it lightly, and Wang Ziteng was not even qualified to be a follower.

It can only be said that in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the scenery of the eldest lord is no longer there, and he can't stand the huge status gap and is directly abandoned in his home, but Wang Ziteng has become a military boss in one fell swoop with the help of the power of Rongguo Mansion in the army, not to mention, he also crossed the Jia family to become the leader of the four major families in Jinling.

In the original work of Red Mansions, the eldest lord had no other choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.

But right now, there is Lin Ruhai, a three-grade waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to choose from, and the eldest master will naturally not bow his head so casually.

No wonder the eldest man simply read the draft of "The Richest Man in the World", and just asked if he could help Lin Ruhai, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he immediately agreed to Jia Cong's release, which turned out to be rooted here.

It can be seen that the eldest master only made such a decision out of displeasure in his heart.

Jia Cong followed this line of thought and thought deeper and farther.

He believes that as soon as "The Richest Man in the World" comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar!

The methods of many of these salt merchants are shocking and terrifying just by looking at them, which is enough to reveal the bloody methods and viciousness of the Yangzhou salt merchants, as well as their cunning.

Maybe, it is operated by the prince of Chu Wang, and he will listen to it today.

At that time, Lin Ruhai, a capable official who can sit firmly in the history of salt inspection for five years, will be completely exposed to today's eyes.

At the moment, it may be that Lin Ruhai's label as the emperor is too obvious and cannot be trusted and reused today, but what about the emperor after he goes?

In other words, as a civil official, especially a civil official like Lin Ruhai, who has been in the flower of Tanhua, has a much greater hope of entering the cabinet than Wang Ziteng, a pure military general.

In the original work of the Red Mansion, the reason why Wang Ziteng failed to storm the cabinet and was killed without even giving him a chance to turn over was because the military general label on his body was too conspicuous, and the energy of the four major families in Jinling could not push him to the throne.

If some resources are invested in Lin Ruhai, I am afraid that the opportunity will be greater, and even if the loss of failure will not be so miserable.

Of course, these are just Jia Cong's guesses, as for whether this is the case, we have to slowly observe and figure it out.

However, at the moment, before the release of "The Richest Man in the World", or even before it caused a sensation, it is better not to have any contact with Lin Ruhai, lest it be regarded by some existences as a means to invite merit and buy rewards.

In the next few days, Jia Cong was busy with the distribution of "The Richest Man in the World", mainly staring at the engraving and typesetting in the printing workshop, and of course, movable type printing is also indispensable, planning to use two printing methods at the same time.

By the way, accompanied by the guards around the prince of Chu, he went to the Huangzhuang given by the generous gift, and the time-honored pharmacy and papermaking workshop were unveiled, and after declaring his sovereignty, he let the three industries operate according to the previous model, and he had no energy to pay attention to it for the time being.

has been busy for more than half a month, and after the printing workshop worked overtime to make the template, and the good news that 'everything is ready' came from the side of Si Ding, the prince of Chu, the new book "The Richest Man in the World" was officially launched.

……

Business here is as hot as ever.

Because of the Three Kingdoms Commentary, Huibin Lou has jumped from a medium-grade restaurant in the capital to a high-end restaurant, mainly because the business is booming.

It's just that with the end of the Three Kingdoms Commentary, the popularity of the restaurant will inevitably decline slowly, and the shopkeeper and the 'fast mouth Lao Li', who is faintly known as the first mouth in Beijing, are not anxious.

Matters are concerned about personal interests, and few people can take them lightly.

Fortunately, the business of the restaurant has not declined sharply at the moment, after all, the Three Kingdoms Book Review is also very interesting, especially the controversy between the 'royalists' and the 'family faction', which retains a lot of old customers, even if it is just for fun, it is a very interesting thing.

Today, the fast-talking Lao Li got on the storytelling platform with a happy face, smiled and arched his hand at the guests from all over the world, and said in a lengthened tone: "You guys are blessed today, what Lao Li wants to say is the new work "The Richest Man in the World" by 'Cong Sanshao'!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

The guests were a little distracted, and they planned to either chat with friends to pass the time or go to a nearby place to have fun after listening to the latest and interesting Three Kingdoms commentary, which had formed a habit.

It's just that I didn't expect that the 'fast-mouthed Lao Li' quietly dropped a bomb, which blew up all the guests at once.

What?

"Cong Sanshao" has released a new book, why haven't they heard any news?

Some of the guests even went to the Huiyou bookstore during the day, why didn't they hear about it......
