Chapter 13 Leisurely sit and watch the affairs of the house
"Don't worry, Mrs., when you walk back to the yard, you'll almost be gone!"
Jia Cong chuckled, took the initiative to change the topic to the direction Mrs. Xing wanted, and said curiously: "It's Mrs. How's the communication with Sister Lin?" ”
It's been more than a month, so I have to have some results.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xing suddenly smiled, and the corners of her mouth were slightly proud: "Miss Lin has already agreed to write a letter to Yangzhou, and your uncle is estimated to be in the capital soon!" ”
The so-called uncle in her mouth is naturally an unreliable guy like Xing Dequan.
Jia Cong didn't want to say anything, and when Xingde didn't get much benefit from Lin Ruhai, he would naturally obediently push the matter to the more reliable Xingzhong.
With Lin Ruhai's ability, he can naturally distinguish between good and bad, as long as he can keep in touch for a long time, it is really easy to get benefits.
As long as she tastes the sweetness, Mrs. Xing will not say that she will look at Jia Cong differently, at least she will not completely ignore it as before.
Jia Cong's requirements are even lower, as long as he can eat and drink, and he can not be disturbed by the bullshit of the first-class general's mansion.
When he has the power of self-preservation, that is, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly.
In other words, it is also beneficial to be in the big house, which can block most of the core areas of Fuzhong, Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall.
It's really lively over there, and every now and then there is going to be a disturbance. I don't hear that the sister of the second wife, the mother of the Xue family in Jinling brought her son and daughter to Beijing to vote, and the Rongxi Hall has been quite lively recently.
This has little to do with the big house, that is, the cheap Lao Tzu Jia Yu, and Mrs. Xing, and Jia Cong has nothing to do with it.
Of course, the money-greedy Mrs. Xing muttered to him several times that 'pearls are like earth, gold is like iron', and the Xue family in Jinling is rich.
Jia Cong is naturally very disdainful of such a statement, no matter how rich the Nima Xue family is, can it compare to the gang of salt merchants in Yangzhou?
To put it bluntly, the Xue family was able to become a wealthy businessman in Jinling, relying on the relationship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and made a lot of money for the royal errand.
No, as soon as the pillars fell, the Xue family's position as an imperial merchant was not guaranteed, and the orphans and widows couldn't keep the family business, so they ran to the capital in a panic to avoid trouble.
If you really have confidence, you won't always be in Rongguo Mansion in the plot of Dream of Red Mansions, and you won't move out until the Grand View Garden is built.
"Cong'er, are you reliable about contacting Aunt Lin?"
Mrs. Xing's unconfident question amused Jia Cong.
I still have too little knowledge, and I basically don't have the experience of communicating with local officials.
"Mrs., don't worry, Uncle Lin is a daughter of Sister Lin, no matter how important she is!"
Although he didn't think so, Jia Cong still tried his best to use simple words and said with relief: "The family of the five generations of liehous is not a joke, Uncle Lin is sitting in a position like patrolling the salt imperial history, and if he misses a little benefit, it is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime with plenty of food and clothing!" ”
The drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, to put it so clearly, if Mrs. Xing still has doubts, then there is nothing he can do.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xing only needs a word of comfort, anyway, the matter of sending the letter doesn't cost much money, once she succeeds in getting in touch with Lin Ruhai, she will really make a fortune.
Jia Cong hurriedly said goodbye and left, he didn't have much heart to plan for Mrs. Xing to make up for the gaps, and this was not a successful master.
"Wangcai, what's new in the house in the past two days?"
On the way back to his residence, Jia Cong asked casually while strolling and exercising.
Since Wangcai became his little servant, he has been walking around on weekdays, learning to read and write by himself in the clan school, and at the same time working part-time to inquire about various news in the house.
This kid is also clever, he was born in a family, but he is also like a fish in water, and he can find out the big and small things that happened in the house in time.
Jia Cong didn't think anything wrong about Rongguo Mansion, he just took precautions.
Who knows if he doesn't provoke the second room and Rongqingtang, will the other side take the initiative to come to the door to find trouble?
If he accidentally gets involved in some kind of dispute, he doesn't know the root cause, and then he will be passive.
Whether it is the old lady who is high, or the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, or the group of sisters and sisters, it is estimated that no one will take him as a big house in their eyes.
It's okay to be joking, if it deliberately tricks or even endangers his own safety, Jia Cong will not be polite.
You have to know in your heart, otherwise if you are caught off guard, you are likely to become a thorn in the side of the old lady and the second wife, and it will not be fun.
"Chief Lai has taken another concubine!"
"The big kitchen Bao Er's family and the second master of the chain are eyebrows!"
"Second Master Bao is in trouble with Miss Lin again!"
Tut......
Jia Cong didn't have much interest in the gossip in the house, and there were many lax and bad things, and such things could not be avoided at all.
The management of Rongguo Mansion, such as the old lady and the second wife, has planted the bane of management chaos from the root.
The old lady is blindly tolerant, whether she is really compassionate or not, but it is definitely not a good thing for the management of the house.
The second wife is even more desperate, maybe she is not capable enough, and her nephew Queen Xifeng sings red face and white face, in short, she is a well-known 'kind person' in the house.
The existence of the palace standing at the top of the pyramid is all a manifestation of this, and it is strange that the servants of the subordinates do not relax.
As for the conflict between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, this is all Rongqingtang's daily drama, so there is no need to care too much about it.
After listening to the gossip and making sure that it had nothing to do with him, Jia Cong lost interest, waved his hand to drive away the undiminished Wangcai, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the depressed nurse Li, who was obviously hit by something.
"Mama Li, what's wrong?"
asked with concern, after all, she is the closest nurse, or the kind that is dedicated to maintaining herself, not the existence of the wonderful nurse who welcomes the spring.
Li grinned and didn't explain why.
The little maid Lingque next to her was articulate, and she explained the situation in three or two clicks: it turned out that she was angry with Baoyu's grandmother!
In other words, the nurse Li and Baoyu nurse Mama Li are cousins, but the objects of milk are different, and the treatment they receive is also very different.
This time, Li ran to Mama Li's door, and happened to see Mama Li showing off with the rose dew from Baoyu, so she cheekily begged for a little and wanted to taste it.
As a result, he was rejected without hesitation, and the Li family, who had lost face, came back with a depressed face, obviously panicked.
"What's the matter with me!"
Jia Cong smiled and shook his head, and said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just flower dew, it's not a rare thing, it's quite easy to make it!" ”
My heart shook suddenly, remembering the preciousness of the flower dew in the story of the Red Mansion, which is a pretty good way to make money......
