Chapter 51: The Red Chamber Version of 'Liu Qi'
"Enough!"
Jia Cong's words obviously touched the sore spot in the eldest master's heart.
Actually, you can understand it when you think about it......
The so-called Jia Shi Wang Xue of the four major families in Jinling, the strength ranking is in literal order, and the Jia family is a well-deserved boss.
It's a pity that time has changed, and the Jia family has declined rapidly after two generations of infinite scenery.
On the contrary, it was the Wang family that produced a prince Teng, with the help of the Jia family's relationship in the army, as well as the rapid rise of the Xue family's money, and now he has become a second-class military general to inspect the nine sides.
And the Wang family also successfully surpassed the declining Jia family, the Shi family with discordant brothers, and became the head of the four major families in Jinling in one fell swoop!
Don't look at the old man's depressed otaku appearance, if he doesn't have a good time, it's just that, after all, the ability is not good, and the situation is like this, so he can only admit it honestly.
But when the eldest lord was young, he was known as the first gentleman in the capital, and at that time, I was afraid that Wang Ziteng did not even have the qualifications to be a follower, but now the situation is reversed, and it is strange that the eldest lord can accept it calmly.
Don't look at the original work of the Red Mansion, Wang Xifeng said that their ancestor was an earl at every turn, but in fact, in Wang Ziteng's generation, the title of the Wang family is gone.
Under such circumstances, the Wang family has become the head of the four major families in Jinling, and the mood of the Jia family can be imagined.
In particular, Wang Ziteng is ambitious, and he has the posture of entering the cabinet with the help of the strength of the four major families in Jinling, which is very pitiful.
You must know that the more bloody and cruel the battle at the top level, if Wang Ziteng succeeds, it is okay, once he does not achieve it, he will have the consciousness of complete finish.
Not only is he finished, but the four major families of Jinling, which are the basic plates, also have to be finished.
If the Jia family doesn't want to be completely kidnapped by Wang Ziteng, they must have another way, and if there is an accident, there are high-ranking officials in the court who are willing to pull the Jia family.
Needless to say, Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law of the Jia family, is the best choice!
The best thing is that Lin Ruhai is still from the imperial examination, although his ancestors are also nobles, but he is a nobleman who takes the path of a minister, whether it is the four kings and eight princes or the four major families of Jinling, at least he does not match in the official face.
People take the civil official route, even if the Jia family is unlucky because of the prince, it will not attract too much attention when saving people.
Jia Cong has thought a lot about these in his heart, but he doesn't know if the old man or the old lady has thought about it.
As for the second wife, it is estimated that she still wishes that the Jia family would be completely bound to the Wang family, and when the time comes, relying on the prestige of Wang Ziteng, she will completely overpower the old lady and become the veritable wife of Rongguo Mansion!
The eldest master was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his face was angry, and his gaze at Jia Cong was quite unkind.
How to say it, beating people does not slap people in the face and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, but Jia Cong's words unceremoniously broke the embarrassing situation in Rongguo Mansion.
I was annoyed and angry in my heart, if it was in the past, Jia Cong would definitely have a good meal, and it would not be over if he didn't lie on the sickbed for a month.
But things are different now......
At least Jia Cong's ability in terms of 'insight' has been recognized by the eldest master, and he feels that he is a negotiable existence.
An otaku like the eldest master is the most powerful, and he likes to be an ostrich when he encounters problems, and he wishes that someone could come up with ideas for him.
Otherwise, as long as he is a little tougher, he will not ask the second master to take the position of Rongguo Mansion as a family member.
is also used to the old lady taking ideas, and there is no reliable negotiation partner around.
The sister-in-law Jia Lian doesn't have to count on it, he is not even reluctant to go to the General's Mansion to ask for peace, and he is willing to run errands for the second room.
Therefore, although the eldest master was annoyed, he didn't shout at Jia Cong, he just stared at Jia Cong with round eyes and didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the room is a little weird, if it is changed to Jia Lian, I am afraid that I will already be scared to pee, how can I have any sober brains?
Jia Cong didn't care much, in case the big man was really annoyed and angry, he would have to run away and hide outside for a while, with the big man's otaku, it was estimated that he would be completely left behind in a few days.
Feeling that the eldest master's anger was almost gone, Jia Cong opened his mouth and said: "Master, the child is also speaking from the heart!" ”
Seeing that the eldest master had no intention of stopping him, he continued: "The child has been thinking about it for a while recently, and found that once Uncle Lin really has an accident, there is no second way to choose in our house, and we can only support the prince to the end!" ”
"Then what do you kid say?"
The eldest lord sneered: "Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, such an important position, how can anyone toss around?" ”
Since he said this, he obviously agreed with Jia Cong's statement.
The eldest master is not really stupid, he sees the market and his brains, he is definitely much stronger than the second master of politics, as long as he thinks about many things, he may not be able to grasp the key points, but he can also see it very clearly.
"No matter what, we should make some efforts!"
After thinking about it, Jia Cong suddenly said: "Master, I think that Uncle Lin at this time is in a very similar situation to Liu Qi, the eldest prince of Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period!" ”
"How?"
The eldest lord was stunned for a moment, but then became interested, and said angrily: "What Liu Qi, Lin Ruhai should be living quite nourishing!" ”
Yangzhou patrol salt imperial history, this is a big fat difference that many people dream of.
"How is that possible?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Uncle Lin was born in a family of five generations of liehous, and he is thin, and his family property may not be as good as in the house, but it is definitely rich among the twelve marquis, there is no need to be greedy for silver and dirty his hands, with Uncle Lin's age, the future is very big!" ”
"If it is a normal year, Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History is naturally a good position, but it is not a normal year now, Uncle Lin is the Emperor during his reign, and he is deeply trusted by the Emperor to put him in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History!"
Seeing that the eldest master hadn't reacted yet, he had to explain the reason directly: "But I don't necessarily recognize Uncle Lin today!" ”
These words were like thunderbolts exploding in the ears of the eldest master.
"The child just said that Uncle Lin is in a very similar situation to Liu Qi, the eldest prince of Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, and there are powerful forces watching from above, Uncle Lin is simply tormented in the middle, and the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History is a large oil pot!"
Jia Cong shook his head again and again and said: "What the emperor wants is a steady stream of silver, but now he needs a generous salt tax to control the court, a bad one is the end of being crushed, otherwise why did Uncle Lin send Cousin Lin to the mansion, is it really just a lack of female elder upbringing?" ”
There are some things that don't need to be mentioned, how long can the emperor's favor last?
The eldest master's face was pale at this time, cold sweat was rolling on his forehead, and his body was a little swaying, obviously frightened......
