Things have been going on in Jiafu recently, first Wang Xifeng's birthday, and then Bao's second daughter-in-law hanged herself, and not long after, Lai Mama came to invite, saying that their grandson Lai Shangrong was going to take office, and they set up a banquet at home for three days, and invited them to enjoy their faces and have a meal.

This overshadowed everything else. The Lai family is a role model for the servants of the Jia Mansion, especially their grandson Lai Shangrong. Everyone is the same slave, the grandfather and father of the partial family are capable, they have the blue eyes of the master, and as soon as they fall into the womb, they will get the grace of the master, and they will be released from the slavery. There are thousands of family wealth at home, and he has been served by the maid since he was a child, and he also reads and writes like a son, which can be said to have not suffered a day.

That's it, who makes Lao Tzu capable, this can't be jealous. Originally, although this kid was loved by his family, he couldn't do it, that is, ordinary people who had a few spare money, and there was not much difference from them. Who knew that when he was twenty years old, the master who didn't know how to move even went through the door and helped him donate a future! All of a sudden, he changed from a slave to an official master! What a blessing their family has accumulated!

That's not all, after ten years of false positions, Lai Shangrong worked up and down, and he had the background of Jiafu, he was actually elected as a state official and had a real job! This is a parent official in a state, and he may not be able to have such a good errand after studying hard for ten years to take the Jinshi examination, how can he not make people envious and jealous.

Now everyone is really convinced of the Lai family, with such a descendant of an official, it will not be easy for the Lai family to get out of slavery in the future. The Lai family now lives in the building hall, and the maids and mothers-in-law are served, which is no different from ordinary eunuchs.

The day of the Lai family's reception was on the 14th, and there were about ten days left, out of envy of the Lai family, knowing that their family was going to entertain, many people actively wanted to follow the master.

They also wanted to see the scenery of the Lai family, but unfortunately Jia Baoyu couldn't bring the maids to other people's homes, so they could only listen to the chatter and discussion of the maids in other courtyards.

Seeing that Lai Shangrong was going to be an official, the attacker couldn't help but want to persuade Jia Baoyu again, but he was frightened by the way he burned books last time, and he didn't dare to speak rashly, just hoping that Jia Baoyu would change his mind when he saw others' respect for Lai Shangrong these days. Although she also knows that there is little hope.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu heard that Lai Shangrong was an official, and when he came back, he complained.

Attacker: "It's just that you don't want to pay attention to those economic careers, and others don't get in your way, so why do you need to be sarcastic?" ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "I don't know that the official before spent money to donate, and every day he was a cockfighting lackey to listen to the play, and he actually went to be a state official, I only pity the people of that state." ”

The attacker laughed: "What do people want you to pity, you know that he is not a good official?" Anyway, it's also out of our house, so you can't think about some good things. ”

Qingwen pursed her lips, "I don't believe this, although we haven't been to Lai's house, but we also know what happened to their family, you say his grandson will be a clean official?" "If this official is greedy, it is indispensable to exploit the people, can he get better?

The Lai family's big house and big garden maids-in-law, they have heard many people say that the housekeeper's monthly money is only how much is a month? I can't afford these for a lifetime. It's not all greedy from Jiafu! It's just that the old lady sees that his family is diligent and can't see it.

When the attackers heard this, their faces changed, but fortunately, they were all their own people in the house, and they hurriedly scolded: "You don't pay attention to what you say!" If you let people know, it's good to have you? ”

Jia Baoyu heard Qingwen's words but clapped her hands with a smile, "Qingwen's words are reasonable!" ”

Jiang Yan covered her forehead, Qingwen's mouth was really fast, although everyone had no reason to betray her now, but I can't guarantee that one day she will not be pleasing to the eye, isn't this giving people a handle?

Qingwen still didn't think so, "Everyone knows about this." ”

Jiang Yan tugged at her and signaled her not to say anything, this is just something that can't be said, the Lai family is such a big house, and anyone with eyes knows it, but people just invite Mother Jia and them over as guests, and this is all a clear way. If you want to say this, it will make people think that you are finding fault.

Jiang Yan wanted to buy a house at the beginning, it is not easy to live in the capital, just a small room costs thousands of taels, how can the Lai family get tens of thousands of taels of silver for the three houses, not to mention that his house is not far from Jiafu, and the price is even higher if the location is good. It is conceivable that there is a lot of oil and water in being a housekeeper. No wonder their family is up now, and Lai Da still continues to be a housekeeper in the mansion to listen to the call. However, two generations can earn such a large family business, and no one is willing to give up this good job.

However, with such an example of the Lai family in the past, although many of the subordinates in Jiafu are lazy, slippery, deceitful, etc., they are loyal to Jiafu. Everyone is looking forward to becoming the next Lai family, and treating Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and other powerful figures, that is whether they can hold their loyalty, which can be regarded as another kind of daughter to buy horse bones.

Jiang Yan came from modern times, and she didn't understand their intention to cultivate loyal servants, and she didn't think that she could cultivate any good servants in this way. Maybe it's going to fall into the ground.

She didn't think that Lai Shangrong had anything to do with them as an official, but it was a pity that the people in the entire Jia Mansion seemed to regard Lai Shangrong as the future of their descendants, and they could hear these discussions wherever they went these days.

I heard that Lin Daiyu was suffering from some cold, Jiang Yan simply went to visit the patient, and by the way, she could also hide from these.

Lin Daiyu is better than Jia Baoyu's royal subordinates, the people in Yihong Courtyard know that Jia Baoyu doesn't like these, and they still don't have any scruples, but Lin Daiyu doesn't like anything in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan is also with her, restraining her subordinates, behaving in a moderation, and there is no one who is unruly from top to bottom.

Seeing Jiang Yan coming, Zijuan smiled and took her to her room, and said, "Our girl is talking to Miss Bao, you sit here with me first." ”

Jiang Yan didn't have anything to do, so when she heard this, she asked, "Miss Lin and Miss Bao seem to have been a lot closer recently. "She'd seen them in one place several times lately.

Zijuan smiled: "The more their sisters get along, they naturally become closer." ”

Jiang Yan thought to herself, it's strange, with Jia Baoyu here, then it can't be intimate. But looking at Zijuan's attitude, Lin Daiyu has changed her opinion of Xue Baochai? In fact, if there is no Jia Baoyu, both of them are Hui Zhilanxin, with high talent and complementary personalities, they may not be able to really be good sisters, thinking about it, Jia Baoyu is really evil.
