Chapter 163: Time Changes
Zhou Ruijia's self-esteem is quite modest, but he doesn't want her tone to be arrogant, and there is a faint condescending arrogance.
Hum!
Chain Er's face turned cold, he had been in the officialdom for more than a year, and the official authority that had slowly accumulated on his body was faint, and he was about to burst out and scold.
"Since my aunt has called, the second master, you can go!"
Feng Lazi suddenly spoke, causing the anger brewing in Lian Er's heart to suddenly stagnate.
"Okay!"
Spit out two words in his mouth, Lian Er got up expressionlessly, and then hurriedly left the small courtyard where he lived under the constant urging of Zhou Rui's family.
"Grandma, you ...... just now"
When the people left, Ping'er was full of worry and wanted to stop talking.
"Hmph, I'm doing this for the second master!"
Feng Lazi sneered: "How to say, my aunt has been the wife of Rongguo Mansion for many years, and she has a lot of resources in her hands, if she is really offended, I am afraid that the reputation of the second master in the future will not be counted on!" ”
"But ......"
Ping'er's heart sank, and she felt that the second grandmother was reasonable.
Don't look at the second wife's kind posture, but she is a veritable wife, at least the key to the big warehouse is firmly in her hands.
I just remembered the look of the second chain when he left, but I felt that something was wrong in my heart.
But what was wrong, she couldn't say the specific problem, and she was at a loss for a while.
"It's nothing, isn't this the one in the Rong Mansion, my aunt still has to be perfunctory!"
Feng Lazi was a little impatient, and he was quite complacent in his heart.
Almost half an hour later, the two sides of the chain sank like water.
"Second master, what is my aunt looking for you?"
Feng Lazi didn't care what kind of mood Chain Er was in at this time, and couldn't wait to ask, "Isn't there something happening again?" ”
Hehe......
Glancing at the curious pillow person, Chain Er said angrily: "It's not Zhou Rui's business, he actually asked me to be so late and launch the left-behind officials of the Shuntian Mansion to look for it, I don't know what to do!" ”
"It's a trivial matter, it's just a good thing to help!"
"Easy? You seem to have forgotten that there's a curfew outside! ”
"What's the big deal with the curfew, can't you send someone to contact the left-behind officials in the yamen as the second master?"
"To put it mildly, do you know how many eyes are staring at me at this time, and if you make a mistake, you will get out of the Shuntian Mansion!"
Feng Lazi was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief: "No, with the power of Rongguo Mansion, ......"
"Hehe, haven't you always looked down on Rongguo Mansion?"
In an irritable mood, Chain Er unceremoniously interrupted the words of the person next to him, and sneered: "The Wang family is still powerful, let the second wife mobilize the power of the Wang family!" ”
"Second master, you are ......"
Feng Lazi is not really stupid, he just habitually ignored Chain Er before, and now when he heard the other party speak like this, he was suddenly stunned and his heart was surging.
Chain Er didn't have the intention to continue, but he was quite dissatisfied with the person next to him.
Usually forget about Mrs. Wang and the Wang family, but at this time, he still helped him, which made him very unhappy.
In addition, Feng Lazi's tone of voice was the same as always, and he thought that he was just a foreign manager who was running errands outside, and the dignified four-grade master was not so cheap.
That is to say, his past experience has made him a little accustomed to obeying the greetings of the second wife, Mrs. Wang, but once Mrs. Wang's request is too much, there is nothing to say.
The relationship with Feng Lazi has gradually increased a lot of contradictions since he became a substantive official.
The main thing is that the identity of Chain Er is different from the past, but Feng Lazi still treats it with old eyes, and his style of acting is very inappropriate, and after a long time, Chain Er naturally dislikes it.
Feng Lazi is also very strong, or very confident in the power of the Wang family, even to the point of being a little crazy, and his style of acting is inevitably arrogant and ruthless.
Especially when it comes to Chain Er, she wants to completely control it, and the best way is to completely defeat Chain Er's self-confidence and become a complete vassal.
It's a pity that she didn't succeed in the original work of Red Mansions, let alone now.
Chain Er saw that the future was bright, and coupled with the habit of being touted by his subordinates in the yamen, his self-confidence and self-esteem were greatly improved, and it was a bit too much for Feng Lazi to want to handle it.
"Grandma, let's rest early, I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow!"
As soon as Ping'er saw that the atmosphere was wrong, she immediately interjected and gave Feng Lazi an excuse to borrow the donkey from the slope.
Feng Lazi snorted coldly, and did not continue to speak, but she was quite unhappy in her heart, and Lian Er's attitude made her quite dissatisfied.
The young couple had some conflicts, but Mrs. Wang, who had been waiting for news, was so anxious that she could hardly sleep all night.
The next day, Lian Er got up early to go to the office, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
Although he was dissatisfied with the second wife, Mrs. Wang's arrogant instructions, he didn't have the idea of doing it directly, and he still had to do it.
Just as Feng Laozi habitually falls to the second room, some of the mental habits of Chain Er cannot be eliminated in a year or two.
For the wife in charge of the house, he is still quite jealous.
……
Jia Cong naturally didn't know that so many things had happened overnight.
After getting up, he still practiced according to his habit, washed his cough, and then took the little maid and the sparrow to the main hall of the General's Mansion for dinner.
When I was far away, I saw a group of maids in the big house getting together and muttering small words.
subconsciously glanced at the little maid beside him, and sure enough, he saw that the delicate little face of the sparrow was full of curiosity.
"You're on your own!"
Laughing lightly, Jia Cong shook his head and walked straight to the main hall, first asked the eldest master if he had gotten up, and after getting the answer as always, Shi Shiran sat down at the small table in the main hall, and his own maid served breakfast.
At this time, Mrs. Xing had already sorted out, and accompanied by the personal maid, she got into the soft sedan chair and started the most important work of the day - waiting for the old lady to eat!
It's also strange to say, although the eldest lady is a stepfamily, how can you say that she is the general's wife. As a result, every day, rain or shine, she was waited for by the old lady in Rongqing Hall to enjoy three meals, and when the old lady ran out or told her to leave first, she could return to the main hall of the General's Mansion to enjoy the meal that had been kept warm in the steamer.
There are a lot of maids in the house, especially in Rongqingtang, there are eight big maids alone, it is said that they have no problem taking care of the old lady for dinner, and they are even better than Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, after all, they are professional.
It's just a pity, I don't know what the old lady thinks, she has to be punished, the two ladies Wang clock in and out of work on time every day, unless she has already instructed her, otherwise she has to go over and wait on time.
This kind of behavior does not say whether it is right or wrong, and the prestige of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang is quite serious.
The two high-ranking ladies are not young, and they have to do the same work as the maid every day, so what does the maid in Rongqing Hall think?
This is also the origin of the saying 'the old lady's cats and dogs have to be respected', even the two ladies are embarrassed every day in Rongqing Hall, no wonder the old lady's maid is arrogant and domineering.
Mrs. Xing is okay here, she was afraid of Feng Lazi's maiden background before, and she was a little cautious, so it was naturally not good to ask Feng Lazi to come over and wait for her every meal.
After a long time, it will form a habit, and when she sees Feng Lazi's face dangling in front of her, Mrs. Xing really doesn't have any appetite.
Mrs. Wang did the same, venting her pain on her daughter-in-law Li Kun, who had to wait by her side during the meal.
It can be seen how hard Li Kun works every day, and it is common for him to eat on time.
Therefore, Jia Cong went to the main hall of the General's Mansion to eat and drink freely, basically eating alone, and eating how he wanted.
By the time the eldest lady came back for dinner, he had already left the house to go to school. The eldest master also has his own dining habits, but he doesn't have the idea of asking juniors to wait.
Since his appearance at the banquet to celebrate the promotion of Chain Er, not to mention other places in Rongguo Mansion, at least the servants here in the big house have been a little more respectful and flattering towards Jia Cong, as if his status has soared all of a sudden.
The advantage is that the waiters are more intimate and cautious, so that Jia Cong can truly enjoy the top service of the top noble family.
is the henchman Wang Shanbao next to the eldest wife, and his attitude is becoming more and more enthusiastic. This Jia Cong was having dinner, and the powerful mother-in-law of the General's Mansion came over, and said mysteriously: "Has the third young master heard about it?" ”
"What did you hear?"
Jia Cong didn't have the habit of eating without saying a word at all, and while stuffing buns into his mouth, he asked curiously: "What's new in the house?" ”
Wang Shanbao's family seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and an old face that could only be regarded as decent suddenly blossomed, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Zhou Rui's house was taken away by the government!" ”
"I've heard of this, but I don't know which yamen is so domineering!"
Jia Cong's hand kept moving, and in the blink of an eye, a big meat bag was wiped out, and he replied casually, without being offended by the same enemy.
"The third young master doesn't know, last night the second wife urgently found the second master of the chain and asked the second master of the chain to immediately use the power of the Shuntian Mansion to help find Zhou Rui's whereabouts!"
Wang Shanbao's smile opened his mouth, and his old face was full of schadenfreude.
This news is quite interesting!
Jia Cong was interested, and the eating movements in his hands kept moving, but his mouth was curious: "No, the night curfew in the capital, if the second brother of the chain uses his own strength to go out at will, I am afraid that it will give the city patrol the imperial history an excuse for impeachment, it is not a joke!" ”
"And that kind of thing?"
Wang Shanbao's family was taken aback, obviously not expecting such a situation.
casually, but he chuckled lightly, and said continuously: "No wonder Second Master Lian didn't listen to the second wife's greeting last night, otherwise I'm afraid that Zhou Rui didn't find it, so he put himself in first!" ”
"That's the right thing to do!"
Jia Cong smiled lightly and said leisurely: "With the power in our house, if the forces that take away Zhou Rui are jealous, this second room manager will naturally be fine!" ”
Speaking of this, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "If the other party doesn't care about the power in the house, it's useless for the second brother to go out......"
