Chapter 176: Means
Jia Cong naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two couples, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
If there is really someone who is not afraid of death, he will not mind letting him go to Huangzhuang to 'struggle', as for whether he can come back safely, it is not something that Jia Cong should consider.
took the little maid to the main hall of the General's Mansion, Wang Shanbao's family came over, and said with a smile: "Third young master, Mrs. told you not to leave in a hurry, there will be something to say later!" ”
Jia Cong nodded in response, the relationship between him and Mrs. Xing was well maintained, and he didn't want to easily destroy this harmonious atmosphere.
Soon after dinner, he asked the little maid to go back first, and waited alone in the main hall for half an hour, and Mrs. Xing finally came back from Rongqing Hall.
Tut!
The old lady is really good at tossing, Mrs. Xing is almost forty at this time, and she has to go to Rongqing Hall for three meals a day.
If there is only one old lady, it is nothing, but when a junior sits and stands with her, it will definitely not feel good, of course, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu are also quite embarrassed.
To say that Mrs. Xing didn't care about Yingchun, there was no reason for this, and she didn't believe that Jia Cong was killed.
It can only be said that in order to show her authority in the house, the old lady dug a deep pit and harmed people.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Mrs. Xing finished her supper and beckoned him over to enjoy refreshments and talk.
"The Huangzhuang in your hand, many people are worried about it!"
Mrs. Xing got straight to the point, looking enthusiastic and concerned: "What is the situation over there in Huangzhuang?" ”
If she hadn't seen Jia Cong's 'ability', she wouldn't have had the patience to speak.
I guess Ya is also one of the 'many people'!
Although he knew in his heart, he wasn't very angry, it was just human nature.
Regarding Mrs. Xing, he naturally wanted to say it bluntly and plainly, giving the prince of Chu to Huangzhuang, and how he noticed that there was a problem with the harvest of Huangzhuang before.
In order to deal with the head of the Huangzhuang Zhuang, he specially invited the prince of Chu to sit in the town, and it was not easy to take down the head of the Huangzhuang Zhuang, but he did not dare to send the official directly, but sent it back to the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office to make it clear.
Speaking of this, Jia Cong showed a 'depressed' demeanor, and reluctantly said that all the small stewards of Huangzhuang were related to the Internal Affairs Office, and in order to suppress these guys, he had to ask the prince of Chu to send a henchman to act as the head of the village.
Mrs. Xing was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she also knew that the situation on the Huangzhuang side was extremely complicated, Jia Cong couldn't speak at all, and the power was firmly in the hands of a related household in the Internal Affairs Office, and it was not ordinary to fight for it.
She suddenly extinguished her thoughts, and it was even more difficult to get out alive if she couldn't get the people stuffed in.
This is also a reality, since there is no way to get involved, then never mention it, and let him leave after encouraging Jia Cong with a few words.
Anyway, she is not short of silver in her hands at this time, and the business run by the two brothers in the family has a lot of money every year, which is enough for her to straighten her waist and gain a foothold in the General's Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion, and there is no need to take risks at all.
"Madam, is the third young master a little exaggerated?"
From beginning to end, Wang Shanbao's family has always stood behind Mrs. Xing, and only after Jia Cong left, did he not hold back his mouth.
"Even if it's a bit exaggerated, it's probably true!"
Mrs. Xing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Huangzhuang is all related to the Internal Affairs Bureau, we can't afford to provoke it at all, even if the master comes forward!" ”
Wang Shanbao's family was speechless, and she wanted to match her with the relationship of the Internal Affairs Office, but she didn't have the courage and confidence to do so.
Speaking of which, the Xue family, who lives in Lixiangyuan, is also a related household of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, didn't they see that the old lady was also treated politely?
Of course, this is a bit biased, but it is the same.
In other words, over there in Lixiangyuan, Xue Pan also came back, and talked about all kinds of Huangzhuang with his mother and sister, shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy to manage Huangzhuang well, I almost didn't let our little brothers break their legs!" ”
"So, Brother Cong has completely controlled the Huangzhuang?"
Aunt Xue was surprised: "I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!" ”
"Why is it not good, who would dare to blow up the stab?"
Xue Pan's eyes were round with anger, and he said viciously: "If you dare to be disobedient, you will be sent directly to Zhuangzi in the border of the Internal Affairs Office!" ”
The mother and daughter were taken aback by the murderous tone, and Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "It's not the little steward in the imperial village, but the people in the house......"
Then, he repeated the recent restlessness in the house and the statement, and finally shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid Brother Cong can't stand it!" ”
"Hehe......"
Xue Pan sneered out loud in disapproval, and said disdainfully: "If anyone dares to stretch out their hands, then let them pass!" ”
Seeing that his mother and sister were puzzled, a trace of superiority suddenly appeared in his heart, and he smiled: "With the boss and the head of the village invited by the Chu Wangfu to sit in charge, those little stewards don't dare to toss, if the guys in the Rongguo Mansion go to grab the class, they will have to die without a place to be buried!" ”
"It can't be that serious!"
, Aunt Xue was surprised: "It's a big deal to let it go directly, is it possible that those little stewards of the Huangzhuang can still kill them all?" ”
"Mother thinks that because of the greed of the children born in Rongguo Mansion, it will be easy to let go when the situation is not good?"
Xue Pan said disdainfully: "If you don't hit your head and bleed, and pay a painful price, they won't give up easily!" ”
"Fortunately, your aunt has been troubled lately, so she doesn't have the time to pay attention to this!"
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of happiness appeared on her rich face.
"What's wrong, Auntie is in trouble?"
Xue Pan subconsciously spoke, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Wasn't Zhou Rui sentenced to exile, your aunt has no useful and trustworthy stewardship in her hands, and it is the harvest season recently, so she is busy for a while, how can she bother with anything else?"
In this regard, Xue Pan was noncommittal, there was nothing to say.
"Can't you help your aunt?"
Seeing her son's cold attitude, Aunt Xue was a little dissatisfied, and proposed, "Why don't you send some capable shopkeepers over to help?" ”
"I'm afraid my aunt won't be happy!"
Xue Pan said indifferently: "If my aunt doesn't object, I don't care!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can your aunt object?"
After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she hurriedly went to Mrs. Wang, preparing to help Mrs. Wang through the current difficulties.
It's just a pity......
Taking advantage of the excitement and returning from the defeat, this is what happened to Aunt Xue.
Fortunately, Xue Pan had already gone out to drink with his friends, otherwise his face would be even more ugly.
"What's wrong with Mother?"
Xue Baochai naturally saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's really right for your brother, but your aunt didn't agree!"
"Why is that?"
"How do I know? Forget it, don't mention it again! ”
Not to mention that Aunt Xue was kind but didn't get a positive response, and her self-esteem and face were hurt, Mrs. Wang couldn't say it.
She didn't mind asking the shopkeeper of the Xue family to help sort out the messy accounts, but unfortunately many of the accounts in them were not visible, so she could only deal with them by herself, and she didn't dare to rely on external forces at all.
Once discovered, how will you put the official's wife in front of Aunt Xue in the future?
Even if they are sisters, they will not have the slightest respect for a sister who is a thief, and they are afraid that they will be despised to death immediately.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, even if she was deceived by the stewards below and suffered heavy losses, she did not dare to be too quiet.
This is also the main reason why she didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Cong's Huangzhuang at hand, although she was also quite excited for a while.
Of course, she is not happy, and she can't make Feng Lazi, a niece, feel better!
So, Feng Lazi was busy flying, busy with all kinds of trivial things all day long, physically and mentally exhausted, but happy in it.
For Feng Lazi, who is in good power, the busier it is, the greater the power in her hands, which is her ideal life.
Until, one day, he suddenly fainted and saw red, and a baby was almost formed, and he was forced to recuperate in the yard.
But even so, she was only sad for the child who was miscarried before she was born for a while, and immediately turned around and actively participated in the affairs of the house.
In such a crazy state, not to mention the loss of a chain two who almost formed a son, even if he has been busy with the front and back, he has to deal with the chores in the house on his behalf, and he has to take care of Feng Lazi's Ping'er is almost tired and paralyzed.
"Grandma, you better recuperate, it's not too late to come out to manage the affairs of the house when your body is well!"
"No, if I don't take advantage of my good aunt's lack of time to take care of him, I will definitely not be willing to completely hold the internal affairs of the house!"
The physically and mentally exhausted Lian Er stood outside the door with a blue face, and the little maids around him were silent and shivering, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Crazy, Feng Lazi is simply crazy!
Chain Er's eyes breathed fire and turned to leave, Ping'er later learned the news that Chain Er came back and left, but he didn't dare to tell some crazy Feng Lazi.
"Third brother, brother, I'm bitter!"
In a teahouse not far from the Huiyou Bookstore, Jia Cong opposite Lian Er poured bitter water and poured out all the things that had happened in these days, and even did not hide his dissatisfaction with Feng Lazi.
Tut......
Looking at Lian Er, who looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot, Jia Cong didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Wang's means of struggle are very powerful, just handing over the internal and external affairs belonging to the public accounts of the mansion to Chain Er and Feng Lazi and his wife, and directly got rid of a formed baby, and by the way, the couple died and lived together.
Not to mention the cumbersome housekeeping of the back house, Chain Er also has to deal with the official affairs of the yamen, meddling in the land and store income belonging to the public accounts of the house.
The shops in the city are okay, and they can deal with it slowly after going down.
But the grange outside the city is not easy to manage, and the distance is too far to take care of it, but he has to manage it.
As I said before, the stewards of the grange below are more daring than the other, if you don't go to check the accounts in person, maybe this year's harvest will be directly lost, and the government will have to pinch its nose to reduce rent and interest to 'appease tenants'.
In the past, in order to get the silver, he was not less 'in the same stream' with those grange leaders, but now he naturally will not watch the interests belonging to Rongguo Mansion be taken away by a group of grange leaders......
