Chapter 90: Waves
On the other side, the old lady was not idle.
When the old housekeeper Lin said goodbye and left, she immediately sent the maids around her to invite the eldest master and the second political master who happened to be at home.
It's also helpless to say, it's just that the eldest man is a standard otaku, but the second political master, who has just been promoted recently, often stays at home, which makes the old lady feel a little inappropriate.
She is well-informed, at this time, the second master of politics should be running errands in the yamen, right?
When the others came, she directly broke the shocking news that Lin Ruhai was transferred to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately shocked the second master of Zheng.
As for the eldest master, he looked light-hearted, and said leisurely: "The third child wrote to me about this before, it's not a big deal!" ”
"Shut up!"
The old lady glared at this guy fiercely, and said angrily: "It is said that it is a good thing that the son-in-law is transferred to the capital, but the key is that we have only learned the news until now, and you haven't heard the slightest rumor in the Yamen, second brother?" ”
The second master also noticed that something was wrong, and shook his head very embarrassedly.
"Okay, when the son-in-law returns to Beijing, you brothers will have to entertain them well!"
The old lady suddenly felt bored and lost interest in talking, and waved her hand to drive the two unconscious sons away, but the mood was quite uncomfortable.
At the same time, Jia Cong also entered the old lady's eyes for the first time, and this kid even knew that he would write a letter to the eldest master to inform him, which was much stronger than the kid in Chain Er.
Fortunately, at this time, the old lady was full of loss, and she was stunned that no one was the successor of Rongguo Mansion, and she didn't have the heart to wonder if Jia Cong's approach was right or not, and whether she was suspected of ignoring her, the first person in Rongguo Mansion.
Rongguo Mansion is a big sieve, and the news from Rongqingtang's side quickly spread throughout the mansion, and everyone knew that Aunt Lin had been promoted to the capital to become a big official.
Of course, soon there were rumors that the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites of Zheng Sanpin was nothing, and the people of Rongguo Mansion thought it was true, and they really did not put the so-called right attendant of the Ministry of Rites in their eyes, and they were speechless when they were arrogant and called out to understand that people are good.
However, even if the Rongguo Mansion didn't pay much attention to it, the news still caused a lot of ripples in secret.
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, was unhappy, although she didn't see it very clearly, she also faintly noticed that something was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly spread rumors that she didn't look down on Lin Ruhai.
Wang Xifeng was very happy, it had been almost half a year since Lian Er left, and she didn't know how to be chic and happy in that place in Jiangnan, which was definitely unacceptable to her.
This housekeeper grandmother has already made up her mind, and when the second chain comes back, she must be restrained, and she must not let this guy out of control again.
The second master of politics is still very happy in his heart, Lin Ruhai, the brother-in-law, returned to Beijing, and still served as the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so that he would have support in the court in the future, and at the same time, he also had an object to talk to.
As for the eldest master, he still doesn't care much about being drunk and dreaming of death.
Although Jia Cong made it clear to him early on that Lin Ruhai's importance to Dafang and Rongguo Mansion was indeed valued by the eldest master at the beginning, but after a long time, it was put aside.
This time, my brother-in-law Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to take office, at most, he was politely entertained, and the eldest man didn't take it too seriously, didn't he still have Jia Cong's kid.
The letter Jia Cong wrote to him was not one or two, although there was no mention of the secret things in Yangzhou, but the rest of the things were not omitted.
The purpose, in addition to the need to use this way to solicit the continued support of the eldest master, there is also an idea to show ability.
can mix well in the investigation team, as well as a series of things behind, the eldest master must be able to see it.
If you change the second master, you may have some bad thoughts.
But on the eldest master's side, the house is basically ruined, and I wish my son was as capable as possible, and besides, the age gap between Jia Cong and Chain Er was there, and there was no need to worry about fratricidal brothers.
Sure enough, the eldest master was very satisfied with Jia Cong's performance, and planned to wait for Jia Cong to come back, and hand over some of the affairs in his hand to this kid.
Although the General's Mansion doesn't look very glamorous, and there is even a 'Horse Shed General' who laughs at it, the foundation of the eldest lord is still quite thick, and there are not many industries under the name of the General's Mansion.
Since Jia Cong has shown enough ability, the eldest lord who is used to being lazy naturally doesn't mind handing over some unimportant properties in his hands to him.
These industries are in his hands, not only have no output, but have even begun to lose money year after year, even if he hands over the management to Jia Cong, there is no bad idea.
The eldest lord has such an attitude, and Mrs. Xing is similar, and she doesn't have much thought about Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing.
She is most concerned about her own business now, and she doesn't care about anything else.
With the distraction of other things, naturally I don't have much energy to take advantage of the house, and I don't have the idea of participating in the affairs of the house, so this mentality makes the old lady and the second wife feel quite awkward.
Without the criminal wife, from time to time, how to show their high-end luxury?
Without the stupidity of Mrs. Xing, how can Mrs. Wang show her ability?
In short, the more indifferent Mrs. Xing became, the more indifferent she was to the affairs of the house, and the more difficult it became to call the old lady and the second wife.
It's a pity that although Mrs. Xing's background is not high, she is not the master that the old lady and the second wife can toss casually.
In the entire Rongguo Mansion, I am afraid that only Lin Daiyu is the happiest.
Over the years, although because of the relationship between Mrs. Xing, her correspondence with her father Lin Ruhai has been very frequent, and after a lot of exchanges, she naturally has not been so depressed and self-pitying.
can send people under the fence, for the sensitive Lin Daiyu, it is really not very comfortable.
There is a good saying, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, not to mention that the Lin family's background may not be as good as the Jia family, but it will not be much worse.
It's a pity that everyone in Rongguofu, including the old lady, did not grasp the point of Lin Ruhai's sudden return to Beijing to take office: how did he leave the position of Yangzhou Salt Inspector?
Anyone who has an understanding of the situation in the court and the economic situation in Daqing knows the importance of the position of Yangzhou Salt Inspector.
Because the interests involved are too huge, it is often difficult for successive Yangzhou salt inspectors to get out safely, and the Yangzhou Salt Merchants Association and the forces behind them are not easy to mess with.
Lin Ruhai was able to retreat safely from such a big quagmire, is there any hidden secret, is it possible to offend the powerful bigwigs of the court?
These have been enjoyed in peace for many years, and even the well-informed old lady did not expect it.
It can only be said that it is not bad to be born in sorrow and die in peace, and the decline of Rongguo Mansion is not without reason, if it is a normal official family, the person in power will definitely not make such a low-level mistake......
