Chapter 178: Inexplicable
Time passes slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the season of golden autumn and August, the season of melons and fruits.
The Jia family in the capital has become the focus of the entire noble circle.
There is no way, in the imperial examination not long ago, two of the children of the Jia clan were admitted to Xiucai.
Coupled with the previous Jia Yun and Jia Fang, in just three years, the Jia clan has cultivated four talents in one go!
Such a situation is quite remarkable, and it has once again caused a sensation in the noble circle!
Celebration banquets, as well as a variety of celebrations, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Beijing Jia family has become the most dazzling existence of the Xungui Group, and at the same time, the Jia clan is even more hot.
Jia Cong just watched these silently as a bystander, and had no intention of participating in them.
The younger brothers have worked hard for several years, and now that they have achieved the results of the exam, they naturally have to let them enjoy the scenery.
I thought that when it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be completely stopped.
I don't want the patriarch Jia Zhen to have new tricks, so I want to put on a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, invite the clansmen with status and status in the clan, as well as a child show to participate, and the name is good: Celebrate the prosperity of the Jia family in the capital!
Yes, since Jia Zhen is willing to spend a lot of money to play such a trick, and he can eat and take it, the Yigan clan naturally has no reason to object.
"I don't have to participate!"
Facing the second chain who came to inform, Jia Cong said bluntly: "Second brother Lian also knows that my identity is looked down upon everywhere in the house, not a child, let alone a showman, isn't it a joke to run away?" ”
"What are you talking about?"
Chain Er was dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Brother Zhen said that everyone in the Rong Mansion must be present, but I have a package ticket!" ”
"I said, what is the idea of that Uncle Zhen in Ning Mansion, what is the point of making such a big noise?"
Jia Cong was really a little confused, saying that he really couldn't grasp the psychology of middle-aged gentlemen, let alone understand it.
"Don't miss out on what to do so much, with food, drink and gifts!"
Chain Two's spit flew sideways, and there was a lot of idea to flicker the joyful big bad wolf posture.
"What benefits did Uncle Zhen of Ning Mansion give you, why did you work so hard?"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't you do something bad and get caught!" ”
"What nonsense?"
Chain Er said with a smile: "Isn't it just that a few days ago, when I was renovating the shopkeeper and the head of the grange, didn't Brother Zhen help me speak, brother, I am repaying Li Zhien!" ”
In other words, Lian Er is really not stupid, and after Jia Cong's persuasion, he really did what he said.
Anyone who is disobedient will directly take someone to check the account book, and none of them will be clean, and then they will be sent to the Zhuangzi or the mine to gnaw the soil.
This stabbed the hornet's nest and caused a shock to the entire family birth system.
I don't know how these family children operate, in short, the old lady and the second wife called the second lady to reprimand him fiercely, and put great pressure on him to change.
Change Nima's comparison......
If Chain Er was still a little hesitant before, after such a toss, he simply made up his mind to do a big job.
Fortunately, although the disobedient shopkeeper and the head of the village were taken down, it was still the managers of the original shops and granges who were promoted, and they did not wantonly install their own people.
This kind of practice caused the family to divide rapidly, and there were those whose interests were damaged and hated by Chain Two, and naturally there were also those who saw the opportunity to desperately get closer, and the number of the latter also expanded rapidly with the increasing number of shopkeepers and village heads won by Chain Two.
Even the old lady and the second lady don't say much.
Chain 2 did not rule out the placement of private individuals, at least on the surface, his behavior was to do things according to the rules, and no one could do anything.
You can't accuse him of being wrong in getting rid of the rats, right, and you want to expect him to continue to work hard in the future?
But after such rectification, at least the industries belonging to the public account of Rongguo Mansion have been significantly improved, and the same share of the mansion has gained more gains, which is a clear achievement.
According to Jia Cong, as long as they are honest and settle down for a few years, they will clean up or transfer when the time comes. It is resolute not to let these sons of the family, who control part of the industries of Rongguofu, control a certain industry for a long time and become a sitting tiger.
In this way, the prestige of Chain Er in the mansion has increased greatly, and it has a little more deterrent power for the children of the family out of thin air. At least some people listened, and some people echoed and helped.
It is also for this reason that after the initial completion of the rectification of the capital and the suburbs of Beijing, the chain is full of ambition and is not excited, and there is a great tendency to continue to make persistent efforts.
According to his thoughts, the next step is to rectify the industries outside the boundaries of the capital.
It's a pity that at this moment, the second wife of the housekeeper directly stopped, and also got the old lady's approval, and the second chain had to reluctantly accept it.
That's it, the chain is still full of energy and red light all day long, and everyone can see that his mood is quite good.
It's Feng Lazi, who doesn't know what happened to him, or he is arrogant and can't listen to persuasion, and still firmly controls the authority of internal affairs and does his own thing.
Jia Cong didn't know much, so he listened to the little maid next to him, as if the second grandmother's health was getting worse and worse.
"There must be an unsavory deal, otherwise it would be difficult for Uncle Zhen to invite you, a guy whose interests come first!"
Jia Cong smiled and opened his mouth, and asked directly: "To be honest, are all the ladies and young masters in the mansion gone?" ”
"Nature is true!"
Chain Er rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Even Miss Lin, as well as Miss Shi who just took over to play, are all invited!" ”
"Alright then, I'll be there then!"
Although he faintly felt that something was wrong, Jia Cong didn't pay much attention to it, even if he had any calculations, he wouldn't be able to take his turn.
……
On the other side, the back room of Rongqing Hall was full of laughter and laughter, and it was lively.
Miss Shi, who had just been picked up by the old lady in the house, was talking and laughing loudly with her sisters and sisters, and there was a joyful atmosphere in the air.
"Hey, brother Ai, why don't you talk, wasn't it better to chat and laugh with us before?"
After laughing for a while, Miss Shi suddenly felt wrong, suddenly looked at the phoenix egg sitting on the side, and said in surprise: "What's wrong today, don't you welcome me?" ”
"No, it's not ......"
The phoenix egg waved his hand again and again, but the depression between his eyebrows did not dissipate at all, and the smile on his face was quite a little self-reluctant.
At this moment, the smile on Miss Shi's face was gone, and she looked at the phoenix egg and asked him to give a reasonable explanation.
The phoenix egg opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and the rhetoric that he used to talk to his sisters and sisters was completely gone.
"Let me explain!"
Lin Daiyu spoke, and at this time it was most appropriate for her to explain, Sanchun wanted to take care of the face of the phoenix egg, Xue Baochai had never offended people, so she had no scruples in this regard, after all, her biological father Lin Ruhai was a member of the imperial court.
"Second Brother Bao, this is a blow!"
Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Didn't you get two more talents in the clan study, the second uncle was on fire and taught the second brother Bao a lesson, and he was beaten hard last time, and he was scolded again yesterday!" ”
Miss Shi was speechless for a while, she couldn't comfort the phoenix egg, it didn't matter, how could it not matter?
After that, the fun was not so happy, and when she returned to her temporary residence, Miss Shi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to love my brother!" ”
"No matter how difficult it is, it's rare to have the third master of Huan and the third master of Cong?"
The big girl beside her pursed her lips and reminded: "It's better to follow my wife's instructions, and have more contact with the third master of Huan and the third master of Cong!" ”
"But there's no chance!"
"Didn't you say that the entire Rong Mansion went to Ningfu to eat wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then the girl would have a chance!"
"Okay, I have to have a good relationship with my second sister these days!"
……
In a blink of an eye, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
Jia Cong put on a new dress, met with Huan San at the gate of the General's Mansion, and Xue Pan, who was also invited, did not act with the old lady's army, and went to Ningguo Mansion one step ahead.
No matter what you say, you have to say goodbye to Jia Zhen, the owner, for a good holiday.
In other words, this is the first time since Jia Cong crossed over, except for worshipping his ancestors and eating wine during the New Year, he entered through the front door of Ning Mansion.
When passing by the two big stone lions with teeth and claws at the door, he deliberately paused and looked at them twice, this is the most "innocent" object in Ning Guofu.
Jia Rong, this kid, stood at the door to greet him, and hurriedly greeted them when he saw them: "Uncle Cong, Uncle Huan and Uncle Xue are here!"
With a smile on his face, he came up, and while leading the way in front, he whispered, "Uncle Cong, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Jia Cong glanced at this guy in surprise, he looked very handsome with red lips and white teeth, but his eyes were blank and his steps were vain, and Nima's body and bones were weak at a young age, which was also wonderful.
"No need, it's all your own brothers, there's no need to hide it!"
I didn't have any intersection with Ning Guofu before, and I didn't think what Jia Rong said was really a secret thing that was not easy to expose, so why pretend to be a gesture?
Sure enough, not to mention Huan San and Xue Pan's touched appearance, Jia Rong was stunned and whispered, waiting for Jia Cong's response.
"There's nothing to say, that guy is greedy and greedy, and he still has the face to go back to being the head of the village, and it's not such a stupid way to want to die!"
Jia Cong couldn't cry or laugh, what Jia Rong said was a secret matter, but he was just interceding for a certain Zhuang head surnamed Zhang, hoping to return to Huangzhuang as the head of the village.
As for how this guy asked to come to Ning Guofu's side, Jia Rong also made it clear that it turned out that the person who had a marriage contract with Jia Zhen's wife's sister You Second Sister was the son of Zhuangtou surnamed Zhang.
You Lao Niang climbed the high branch of Ning Guofu, and naturally she didn't look down on the son of a mere Huangzhuang Zhuangtou, and she wanted to regret her marriage for a long time, but the other party never agreed.
This time, in order to continue to stay in Huangzhuang, Zhuangtou surnamed Zhang took this in exchange for You Lao Niang, and wanted to ask someone from Ning Guofu to help make peace, which was why Jia Rong had a strange performance just now.
"Waiting for people to be tossed to death by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no marriage contract counts!"
Jia Cong smiled faintly, but Jia Rong shuddered......
