Chapter 9: Ni Er
The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched.
I have to admit that Mrs. Wang's trick is very clever. It looks like Jia Lian used the topic to play and forced his aunt to hand over the housekeeping.
Seeing that Mrs. Xing was already eager to try there, Jia Lian sighed helplessly.
This stewardship should indeed belong to the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, if Jia Lian's biological mother, Mrs. Chen, is still alive, it doesn't matter. But this one, how is it possible.
Jia Lian was extremely convinced. If Mrs. Xing dares to ask for stewardship, the good situation is likely to be ruined.
"How to arrange it is the old lady's business, and it is nothing to let the second lady continue to take care of the house, but such a thing can not be done again. I believe that my grandfather did not want to see this scene in the spirit of heaven either. ”
Jia Mu thought about it for a while, and opened her mouth to drive everyone else out, leaving only Jia Lian and his wife.
"Lian'er, the matter of the second girl, since you have a seizure, you can't explain it without an explanation. For the time being, Baoyu and his mother can't continue to be housekeeping.
I've watched it for so many years, and only Feng Yatou is a good one among so many people in my family. So when Baoyu and his mother said that they wanted Feng Yatou to help her take care of the house, I agreed.
Originally, I thought about it, because your father is an unsuccessful person. Only his generation will let your second uncle take care of the family business, but your generation can't do this anymore. It's also good for you and Feng Yatou to take over the family business from the second room. But you refused, what do you think? ”
Wang Xifeng was young after all, and when he heard Jia's mother's words, he subconsciously wanted to agree, but when he thought of Jia Lian's analysis, he stopped talking. Let's listen to what the second master has to say.
Jia Lian sneered in his heart, this old lady has no shortage of wisdom. Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep the lintel of Rongguo Mansion when Jia Daishan died suddenly.
It's just that this bias is a bit excessive. Jia Lian knew that she didn't like Mrs. Wang either. But her preference for Jia Zheng, the second son, made her lose her mind sometimes.
Of course, Jia Mu didn't want to listen to Jia Lian's advice. Instead, he wanted Jia Lian to agree to Wang Xifeng taking over the stewardship. After all, even if Jia Lian doesn't seem to be so close to the second room after marriage, Wang Xifeng is still Mrs. Wang's niece.
But Jia Lian definitely didn't want Wang Xifeng to interfere with the housekeeper at this time. Two days ago, he used a few close people to check the accounts of the public middle school, and the dignified Rongguo Mansion was dignified, and there were only more than 20,000 taels of silver left in the account of the public middle school. Moreover, as far as Jia Lian knew, there were actually only a few thousand taels of silver left in the treasury.
To know. Just look at the industries in Rongguofu's account, the annual income is more than 200,000 taels. This is still the case where most of the minions are greedy.
"Originally, Feng'er was still young, and the two of us just got married. I don't have any children. I don't want her to have too many things.
But when the old lady talks about this, I can't help but know what to do. ”
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia Mu smiled with satisfaction. However, Jia Lian spoke again at this time: "It's okay to let Feng'er take over the housekeeper." But I'm going to check the accounts, and what we've taken over must be made clear. ”
Mother Jia's face sank, what a grandson. Maybe Jia Mu is not very clear about the real situation in the library, but the situation is not very good. Otherwise, the second daughter-in-law would not have pushed out.
Mother Jia knew that Mrs. Wang had taken a fancy to Wang Xifeng's dowry. As long as Wang Xifeng takes over and sees the actual situation of Curry, will she dare to make trouble with Mrs. Wang. I can only fill it at my own expense.
Jia Mu also knew that this was not good, but what could she do. After all, that woman is Baoyu's mother-in-law.
"Well, you go. The old woman wanted to be quiet. Let's talk about the housekeeper later. ”
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng walked out of Rongqing Hall side by side and returned to their small courtyard. At this time, in the Rongxi Hall, the angry Mrs. Wang threw another exquisite tea set.
Out of the door of Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng went to Aunt Zhao without even saying a word to her. Mrs. Wang then returned to Rongxi Hall by herself?
"This ungrateful thing." The more Madame Wang thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
You must know that Jia Yu's wife, Mrs. Chen, died in childbirth when she gave birth to Jia Lian. Jia Yu was grief-stricken and almost killed the newborn Jia Lian on the spot.
It was Jia Zheng who saved the child, and asked Jia's mother to ask Jia Lian to be raised in the second room. It can be said that there would be no Jia Lian without a second room.
Although Jia Lian was older later, Mrs. Wang had Baoyu again, and she didn't have so much energy to take care of Jia Lian. Jia Lian was sent back to the big room again, but Jia Lian's heart has always been on the side of the second room.
And because of that. Mrs. Wang tried her best to facilitate the marriage of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. married the most outstanding woman of the Wang family's generation to the Jia family. is counting on winning over Jia Lian, so that Baoyu can have one more help.
You must know that two generations of married women have entered the Jia family in a row. The Wang family is not without criticism.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian's temperament changed greatly after marriage, and he actually began to alienate the second room, and now he slapped the second room in the face.
The eldest girl who followed Mrs. Wang, Jin Chuan, trembled with fright. Only those who follow Mrs. Wang understand the horror of this one.
A few days later, a word came out from Rong Qingtang, asking Li Kun and Wang Xifeng to come forward as housekeepers together, with Li Kun as the main one.
Jia Lian really admired the old lady's strategy. also knew that Wang Xifeng was an idle person, so he had to nod and agree.
At the insistence of Wang Xifeng. The people in the kitchen of Rongguo Mansion have all changed. Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, hit twenty boards and drove out of the house. The rest were also sent to the Zhuangzi outside the city.
The prestige of Grandma Lian was initially established.
Donglaishun also opened, and on the day of opening, Jia Lian not only invited a lot of old relatives and old friends, but also tasted it for free for a day.
The special way of dining is already attractive, and the variety of pots is delicious. It penetrated the taste buds of dignitaries such as Da Zheng Shenjing at once.
Jia Yun looked at the daily running water, busy with her feet to the sky, and at the same time she couldn't close her mouth happily.
In just ten days after opening, Donglaishun earned 3,000 taels of silver. Although it may be worse in the future, as long as Jia Yun operates according to Jia Lian's requirements, the annual income will definitely not be less than 60,000 taels of silver.
Sitting in the private room on the second floor of Donglaishun, looking at the account book sent by Jia Yun, Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction.
"Yun'er did a good job, let it go. In the future, the second uncle still has big things for you to do. ”
Jia Yun saluted respectfully, and then said, "It's all cultivated by the second uncle." Nephew, I still have something to ask my second uncle. ”
"Oh, say."
"My nephew has a friend in the rivers and lakes, who has an upright temperament and attaches great importance to righteousness. For the past few years, his nephew has been taken care of by him. So now I want to pull him. If it is not suitable, please show the second uncle. ”
Jia Lian frowned, and thought of a person: "What is this person's name?" ”
"His name is Ni Er."
