Chapter 100: 'Calm Waves'
(Ten tilts is a thousand acres, a lot, no matter more, you can't keep it)
Because he has to take care of Jia Baoyu, a guy who goes to school for three days to dry nets and two days to fish, and sleeps in bed, Rongqingtang's schedule has changed.
When Jia Cong and Huan San went to the clan study, the old lady had just gotten up to freshen up.
While combing the old lady's hair, the big maid mandarin duck whispered the rumors in the house, and finally couldn't help but chuckle: "Third Master Cong's luck is really good!" ”
The old lady frowned slightly, and asked directly, "Brother Cong, did you come to Rongqing Hall to ask for peace?" ”
There is no problem at all, as if Jia Cong should come over early every day to say goodbye.
didn't consider it at all, it was herself who didn't allow Jia Cong to come to Rongqingtang's side.
At this time, the old lady naturally selectively forgets these.
"Nope!"
The mandarin duck made a movement in his hand, and chuckled: "At this time, Third Master Cong should have already gone to school, do you want to send someone to shout?" ”
"Forget it, I think this kid is just like his old man, which makes people worry!"
Waving her hand, the old lady muttered: "When he comes back, let him come to Rongqing Hall, and say how he met the nobleman, and received such a heavy gift!" ”
Ten Tilt Huangzhuang, a time-honored pharmacy, a paper workshop, the combined value is quite expensive, how can there be a noble person to give such a good thing?
She didn't have the idea of forcibly occupying it, but she mainly wanted to ask the reason for it, and see if she could help Jia Baoyu show her face to the nobles.
As for Jia Baoyu not getting up at this time, whether he will delay going to school or something, it is not in the scope of consideration at all.
In fact, the mandarin duck wanted to remind the old lady to pay attention to Bao Erye's studies, but she knew the old lady's thoughts very well, and in the end she didn't say anything.
If it was the original work of the Red Mansion, the Jia clan was so rotten that they didn't cultivate any talents at all, Jia Baoyu relied on the praise from top to bottom of the house, but he could also sway with the name of a 'genius', and everyone believed it over time.
But now the clan study is amazing, the last time Tong Sheng tried to pass the five places in one go, Jia Yun and Jia Fang were even more talented.
In this way, Jia Baoyu, who can only make a few poems with Bai Ding's quick wit, will naturally no longer be conspicuous with the genius light on his body.
Even a big girl like Mandarin Duck can see that Bao Erye's lazy and tired of learning is not compatible with motivation at all.
Look, even the third master Cong, who was valued by the nobles and even gave him a generous gift, went to school early, and the second master of Bao hasn't gotten up yet, the contrast is stark.
……
"Jia Cong, that kid is really lucky!"
In the bedroom of the second wife, Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family said with envy: "I don't know where this kid met the nobleman, who gave him such a valuable gift!" ”
The news from the big room naturally spread to the second room, causing all kinds of envy and jealousy in Zhou Rui's family, and they couldn't wait to snatch the benefits that Jia Cong had gotten.
Even if you can't grab it, you have to get the management of Huangzhuang, pharmacy and paper mill, and it is best to let your own man Zhou Rui be in charge, and you can get a lot of benefits every year.
No, Zhou Rui's family is going to say that Mrs. Wang will take action.
With her understanding of Mrs. Wang, she is confident that as long as she provokes a little bit, she can achieve her goal.
As for the reaction of the big house, it is not in the scope of consideration at all.
The eldest master is just a waste, and the eldest lady is also a good master, without their support, Jia Cong's kid would not be able to turn the sky at all.
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang was so upset and unrefreshed at this time that she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't pay attention to these, I have a headache now!" ”
The cold war between the second master and her has lasted for more than half a year, and Mrs. Wang feels a little unbearable, and the most important thing at the moment is to ease the relationship between husband and wife, and put aside the rest first.
Otherwise, watching Aunt Zhao's slut swaying in front of her every day, Mrs. Wang almost couldn't help but want to kill.
"Madam, you are ......"
Zhou Rui's family was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to make too many mistakes.
"Isn't my second brother about to return to Beijing to report on his work!"
The expression on Mrs. Wang's face softened slightly, and she said in an unkind tone: "When the time comes, I have to go back to Wang's house to make trouble, otherwise I really can't live this day!" ”
Especially when she heard that the kid in the second chain was promoted to the criminal department of the fifth grade, her mood was even more unhappy.
With her understanding of the second master of politics, I am afraid that the anger in her heart is even worse.
This time, the second brother prince Teng returned to Beijing, if he couldn't help the second master of Zheng to go further and become a fourth-grade official, I am afraid that the cold war between husband and wife would continue.
Zhou Rui's family didn't dare to answer, so they had to temporarily suppress the greed in their hearts, and the most important thing at the moment was indeed to ease the relationship between the second wife and the second master.
……
"Hey, I don't want this kid Jia Cong to be so lucky!"
In the inner room of the small courtyard where Wang Xifeng lived, the housekeeper grandmother of Rongguo Mansion had already finished freshening up, and couldn't help muttering when she heard the rumors in the house.
"Who's to say it isn't!"
Ping'er was busy and chuckled: "I don't know where Brother Cong'er got the luck, he actually met a noble person and gave such a heavy gift!" ”
"Hmph, how does he know how to run a business at such a young age?"
Wang Xifeng's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask that kid to take out the Huangzhuang, the pharmacy and the paper mill, and I, as a sister-in-law, will help him run it well!" ”
"I'm afraid it's not good!"
Ping'er stopped what he was doing and said with some hesitation: "I heard the second master say, he also wants the third master to help him say good things to Aunt Lin!" ”
"Say something nice?"
Wang Xifeng said disdainfully: "What can Aunt Lin help the second master, it's better to wait for my second uncle to return to Beijing, it's not easy to ask for any help?" ”
Ping'er disagreed, but it was not easy to refute, so she had to change the topic and said: "I heard that the eldest master is very satisfied with the performance of the third master, and the second grandmother intervenes at this time, which is not good!" ”
"Oh, it seems that Jia Cong's kid still has some skills!"
Wang Xifeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her tone was unpleasant: "I actually know how to please the eldest master, this time it's not good to interfere for the time being, and it's not too late to wait for a while!" ”
She didn't even let go of hundreds of thousands of taels of lawsuit silver, how could she let go of the big fat meat that Jia Cong was holding in her hand?
It's just that Jia Cong's matter has passed the clear road of the eldest master, and it is really not good for her to be a daughter-in-law to meddle rashly, otherwise if there is an accident, she may ruin her reputation.
Even Feng Lazi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, does not dare to easily challenge the human ethics law at this time, although he is unhappy in his heart, he can only give up temporarily.
Jia Cong definitely didn't expect that the matter of the gift given by the prince of Chu would cause such a big wave in the mansion, fortunately, his 'luck' has always been good, and before he knew what was going on, the waves caused by the rumors subsided on their own......
