Chapter 262: The Main Gate (Subscription Requested)
The itinerary of the official ship where the eldest lord was located was smooth, and there was no trouble or obstacle on the way.
The merchant ship hired by the Xue family followed and hitchhiked, and it was also smooth sailing without any accidents, and arrived at the Tongzhou wharf at the end of the canal.
Tongzhou Wharf is as prosperous as ever, and may be affected by the prosperity of maritime trade in the south of the Yangtze River, and the number of ships and the throughput of people and goods here are at least half more than when the big man was in power.
The official ship has its own dock, so there is no need to mix with the merchant ships, and the Xue family's ships naturally have a convenience, and the officials in charge of the wharf management did not say anything.
The boat docked, put on the pedal and hurriedly disembarked to guard the surroundings, and the eldest man took his family and a maid to get off the boat.
"Master, you're back!"
Lian Er trotted forward to salute, and he was not excited to see the eldest master.
"Well, it's good, you can still stay in Shuntian Mansion!"
Seeing Lian Er, the vicissitudes of life on this guy's face were on his face, both his eyes and his bearing were a lot calmer, obviously he had suffered a lot in Shuntianfu in the past few years.
"Haha, with the old man covering, at most it's just some small trouble, it's nothing!"
Lian Er laughed, this is true, the eldest master is still mixing well, which Shuntian Mansion official dares to directly target Lian Er without giving face?
Not to mention the others, the officials who were on errands under the old man before didn't agree.
"This is not the place to talk, let the people who brought it help carry the luggage!"
The eldest lord waved his hand, pointed to the two official boats behind him, and said leisurely: "A lot of Jiangnan native products, let the guys you bring be careful, otherwise Lao Tzu will not agree!" ”
"How-good!"
Lian Er didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly recruited his henchmen to come to Wang and admonished; "Did you hear the master's instructions clearly, if something goes wrong, be careful of your skin!"
got into the carriage parked on the dock, Yingchun and Jia Song greeted Lian Er, and before they had time to say anything, they followed the dock and prepared to leave.
The eldest master could see clearly, and when he saw Yingchun and Jia Song, Lian Er's face was a little complicated.
Isn't it complicated, compared to Jia Song, who has been following the eldest master, his eldest son-in-law is obviously very unqualified, and when he wants to fight for the eldest lord's resources in the future, I am afraid that he will be left behind.
But so what?
Although Lian Er is a little slippery, he still values the family more, even if he feels uncomfortable, he can only force it and dare not show it, otherwise the eldest master will not be able to spare him.
On the other side, Zhou Rui's family received the mother and daughter of the Xue family, and politely invited the Xue family and his party to get into the car, turned his head to look at this side, and reluctantly came over to ask the eldest man to say goodbye.
Zhou Rui, the man in her family, was not lightly treated by the eldest man at the beginning, and he was quite unhappy.
It's a pity that he was stopped by Lian Er halfway, saying that the eldest master is tired of traveling now, and he doesn't have the time to pay attention to her as a housekeeper.
"What the hell!"
Seeing Zhou Rui's family leave angrily, Lian Er pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
"What's wrong?"
The eldest master's voice came from the carriage, and Lian Er hurriedly came up and explained in a whisper: "Master, it is the second room housekeeper's mother-in-law Zhou Rui's family, it seems that he is also picking up someone!" ”
"You don't know?"
There was a little doubt in the old man's voice.
"Know what?"
Lian Er was confused, and he didn't understand what the big master's words meant.
"It's the Jinling Xue family who got off the boat over there!"
The voice of the eldest lord was not big or small, and it happened to reach Lian Er's ears.
"The Jinling Xue family, how can you let the second room send someone to pick it up?"
Lian Er still didn't understand, and said with a wry smile: "The master is very familiar with the Xue family? ”
"I'm not familiar with it at all, it's just that I met a boat on the way!"
The old man smiled: "Okay, since you don't know, then you don't know, let's go to the other courtyard first!" ”
Lian Er suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and begged: "Don't be master, when the old lady came, she gave her son a death order, and she must let the old man's family go back to live in the house!" ”
"What are you doing back home?"
The eldest man sneered: "Back in the house, can the safety of Yingchun and Zhu'er be guaranteed?" ”
Without waiting for Lian Er to speak, he smiled again: "Don't be sloppy with me, the old lady now treats Baoyu as an eyeball, what are Yingchun and Zhu'er doing when they go back to the house, do you want to be a foil for Baoyu?" ”
Hearing this, Lian Er's face became even more bitter, but he didn't have the courage to open his mouth to refute.
And that's just the way it is!
The old lady loves Baoyu like something, as if the beam after the Rongguo Mansion wants this kid to support it, and all kinds of resources are sprinkled like water.
Lian Er was quite unimpressed by this, and the old lady's move obviously glanced at their father and son in the big house, which was really ridiculous.
Besides, Baoyu's kid, although Lian Er didn't have much contact, he had a few contacts, and his daughter-in-law usually had some situations with him, Lian Er expected that this kid was a color blank.
I know all day long that I play around a dry maid sister and sister, I am eight years old and still nest in Rongqing Hall and am not willing to study, and I can't see how brilliant the future will be when I am idle.
But that's the case, the old lady still holds Baoyu high, and suppresses all the children of her life, even Lian Er usually doesn't dare to do anything to Baoyu, which is really boring.
With the old lady's thoughts, if Yingchun and Jia Chung live in the mansion, they will definitely not ask them to come out, and may even personally suppress their arrogance, and maybe they will do even more excessive things.
The old man is not a good-tempered person, if such a thing really happens, he will definitely stand out for Yingchun and Jia Song, and then it will be a good trouble.
Besides, Lian Er was actually very unhappy with the old lady's posture of holding Baoyu, and he made up his mind in his heart, so it was better not to interfere with the master's decision.
"Master, why do you have to go back to the house to greet the old lady first, and then go back to the other courtyard?"
Lian Er smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, my son really won't be able to pass this time!" ”
"Hehe, then go home first!"
The eldest man said indifferently: "I can't pass anything, but I just think about the little thing in the old lady's warehouse, and that's all you can do, let's go!" ”
The carriage left quickly, and as for the luggage in the back, it was natural that someone would send it to the other courtyard and the east courtyard of Rongfu respectively, so there was no need for the eldest master to keep an eye on it.
On the other side, after Zhou Rui's family received Aunt Xue's family, he politely left with Aunt Xue's family in advance, and the destination was also Rongfu.
"Mother, we don't have a house in the capital, why don't we go back to our house first?"
On the carriage, Xue Baochai lowered his voice and asked, "If you go to Rongfu, isn't it sent to the fence?" ”
is different from the original book, Xue Pan, the dumb overlord, did not kill the son of the squire in Jinling, although their family of three was also forced to leave Jinling to join relatives in the capital, but they lost the panic in the original book.
Without that confused lawsuit, the imperial trademark on their bodies is enough to ensure that they have a foothold in the capital, and they don't need to send people under the fence at all, at least they don't have to worry about being bullied for no reason.
It was also the greeting of Zhou Rui's family just now, and she knew her mother's plan, she actually wanted to live in Rongguo Mansion first, and she didn't know what her plan was?
"My son, you don't know that this capital is full of powerful people!"
Aunt Xue sighed with a look of reminiscence, patted Xue Baochai's hand and explained; "If you want to live a nourishing life, you can't do it without the support of the powerful, besides, if we want to blend into the upper circle of the capital, we need your aunt's help, let's go to Rongfu to live for a while to see the situation!"
Xue Baochai didn't say anything more, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.
I thought that she was a well-known daughter in the Jinling realm, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the capital, I would send people under the fence, how could I bear the taste in my heart.
As for Xue Pan, the dumb overlord in the other carriage, he didn't have the heart to think about it at all, at this time, his mind was attracted by the bustling and noisy street scene of the capital, and from time to time he smirked at the little daughter-in-law and eldest girl passing by, and he wanted to see the Qinglou in Beijing, what was the difference between it and Jinling.
However, the losses he suffered in Ludi before still made him dare not come nonsense, at least during the time he first arrived in the capital, Xue Pan did not dare to come nonsense, and the good beating in prison now feels terrified.
Zhou Rui's family was very happy, and easily completed the task assigned by Mrs. Wang, and also saw that the Xue family did not have a large wooden box on the ship, and the heavy weight was obviously of great value.
Thinking about how much benefit she could get from the Xue family, as for the matter of the eldest master, she had already left it behind.
Affected by the strange atmosphere of Rongguo Mansion, Zhou Rui's family thought that they had been brainwashed, and they only felt that Rongguo Mansion was powerful, and in addition to the royal family and the four major palaces with different surnames in this capital, the next one was the top of Rongguo Mansion.
With such thoughts, coupled with the contempt and disdain that Mrs. Wang often talks about, it is enough for this housekeeper to not take the official position of a second-class member on the eldest lord to heart.
When the carriage arrived at the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, a group of more than a dozen families wearing silk greeted them at the gate, and even the main entrance of the mansion was opened.
Aunt Xue and a pair of children got out of the carriage, and when they saw Mrs. Wang putting on such a big battle to greet them, they were suddenly excited, and their eyes immediately turned red, and they wanted to follow the guidance of Zhou Rui's family to enter the door and have a sisterly performance with Mrs. Wang.
"Wait!"
But at this moment, a shout from the back of the convoy ruined such a good atmosphere, and I saw Lian Er coming on a horse with an unhappy face, and he didn't have a good airway; "Who opened the main entrance?"
"Second master, this is what the second wife requested!"
The little guy guarding the door didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "I said that I was greeting Mrs. Xue!" ”
"Oh, is that so?"
Lian Er turned over and dismounted, walked to Aunt Xue with a puzzled face, and said with a smile: "This should be Auntie, I am Wang Xifeng's husband Jia Lian, if the Xue family still wants to mingle in the upper circles of Beijing in the future, the main gate must not be left!" ”
