The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 251 Arrangement
At this time, Mrs. Xing, who was sitting on the side and had never spoken before, spoke up, "I didn't mean you, brother and sister. Although the eldest brother said that he was not your own, he was the eldest son of the second brother anyway. You can't In this way, if the outside world hears it, they will think that our family is abusing the concubine."

After listening to Mrs. Xing's words, Mrs. Wang became so angry that she abused the concubine. With Jia Ke's current state, is it possible for people to abuse him?As long as he just had this thought, Jia Zheng could beat himself to death.

Mother Jia was not happy to see Mrs. Xing adding fuel to the fire. Although Mrs. Wang was a little petty and selfish, she hadn't reached the point of abusing a concubine.Otherwise, how did the few concubine children in the family grow up?
"Shut up, all of you, don't be like outside women who can't control their mouths and talk nonsense. I'm in charge of the elder brother's affairs. From now on, all the expenses of Wuyang Hou's mansion will go to the eunuch." Jiamu sat The final decision was made at the top, and no one said anything at this time.

But Jia She has no opinion on these things, anyway, these properties may not be able to fall into his hands, so Jia She has been eating wild flowers all these years and has not restrained himself in any way because of the financial constraints of the government.

Jia Ke looked at this posture from the sidelines, and there was no way to distinguish it from the Rongguo Mansion too clearly. However, Rongguo Mansion's inner bag is indeed a bit empty. If it pays for all the expenses of the Wuyanghou Mansion, I'm afraid it will have to pay for it.

So Jia Ke stepped forward and said to Jia's mother and Jia Zheng: "The old lady and father said so, then I will be disrespectful, but our family is such a big family, and the expenses in the house are indeed quite a lot. Starting from this year, every year During the Chinese New Year, my son gave the mansion 5 taels of silver. One is to show respect to the old lady, and the other is to lighten the burden on the mansion."

When the old lady heard this, she felt that it was feasible. Now the mansion is really not well-off. The annual income is only 5 to [-] taels, which is far from the one hundred thousand taels a year when Jia Daishan was there. Barely making ends meet, this is because some people have given them ice and carbon gifts in recent years.If the expenses of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion were added, it would be beyond their means.

Now that the family hasn't separated yet, Jia Ke gives 5 taels of silver to the mansion every year, which is what it should be.And with this silver, the family can be well-off.After that, everyone will have a better life, and her grandson, Jia Ke, will not live without the 5 taels of silver for a year.

"Since you have this filial piety, I will accept it. To be honest with you, the mansion is really not rich. It is because you have been promoted many times in the past few years, and you have been sealed as a marquis. The ice and carbon tributes from outside are sent up from time to time. If we didn’t even have the 5 to [-] taels of silver in the past, our mansion would have been living without food.” Jia Mu said sadly that she was born in a marquis’s family, and when she first married, it was the time when the Rongguo Mansion was in its heyday. Where have I ever been in such a predicament.

Jia Zheng originally wanted to object, but saw that Jia's mother had already agreed.And it seems that Jia Mu said that there are indeed some difficulties in the mansion. As his own son, Jia Ke naturally has to share some of the burden with the mansion, which is understandable, so he kept his mouth shut.

And Mrs. Xing, who was sitting next to her, heard that Jia Ke would send 5 taels of silver to the mansion every year, and her eyes were already bright.Thinking of the 5 taels of silver piled there, I am afraid it is a hill.I turned my mind, thinking about how to take the housekeeper's power from Mrs. Wang, so that I can get some money from it.

Seeing that the family affairs had been arranged, Mother Jia asked everyone to leave, saying that Jia Ke was tired today, and that she would set up a few good banquets in a few days, and invite relatives and friends to have fun.

So this time everyone went back happily.At night, the news spread throughout Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.Jia Ke is now the minister of military aircraft, commanding 10,000+ soldiers inside and outside Beijing, so these servants of Jia's family trembled one by one, and each of them became more domineering and arrogant than before.

It's not even the next day, but the news has spread outside. That night, many family members who committed crimes came to the door of the housekeepers of the Ningrong Second Mansion, holding a lot of money, to ask for convenience. Give more preferential treatment to your relatives in prison, or make big things small and trivial.

The Rongguo Mansion is not doing well. After the incident with Nanny Lai, the current chief butler, Lin Zhixiao, is slick in all aspects, and all the stewards under him are better than monkeys. Now their uncle has not taken office yet. Where is it? Take the money if you dare.Even if it is cash register, they have to wait until their uncles have secured their seats before they can handle things.

But Ningguo Mansion has no such scruples due to the lack of discipline. As long as they come to send money, they will always come. It is really bold, but I don’t know how they can understand this matter in the end.

Besides, when Mrs. Wang returned to her courtyard, she remembered that in Jia Mu's room just now, she was not only scolded by Jia Mu, but also robbed by Mrs. Xing, who she usually looked down upon. She was so angry that she threw all the porcelain in the room clean. .

But after Mrs. Wang smashed things, things still had to be done, and Jia Ke was now the face of the mansion, so his affairs were much more important than other people's.

So Mrs. Wang ordered people to summon Zhou Rui's family. These matters must be handled by someone, and she also needs someone to discuss and discuss.

Soon Zhou Rui's family came to Mrs. Wang's room, saluted Mrs. Wang first, and then asked: "Madam summoned the younger one, what should I do?"

"What else can there be, isn't it the evil that Aunt Zhou gave birth to, the old lady asked me to clean up the Wuyang Hou Mansion, arrange people everywhere, and let him move there tomorrow, saying that he is still crowded with Aunt Zhou In the small courtyard, it's too demeaning." Mrs. Wang said without anger.

"What does that lady mean?" Zhou Rui's family asked cautiously. She doesn't dare to offend Jia Ke now. She was also on the way here, and she heard that Jia Ke was promoted, and now she is a member of the current prime minister. , with her little servant, whoever offends Jia Ke even a little bit will be thrown into hell by those who flatter Jia Ke.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "What else can I do? Just send some people to fill up the yard for him."

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Zhou Rui's family suddenly felt that his young lady was so stupid. She only had one acre and three cents of land in her eyes, and she didn't like these lands. Now she had to explain to her herself, otherwise When she offends Jia Ke, as long as the old man is a little tricky, it will be enough for Mrs. Wang, and maybe she will be hurt at that time.

"It's a good thing Madam sees it as a slave, Madam doesn't have to be so angry."

"Good thing, why don't I think that this evil obstacle is almost overwhelming us."

"Ma'am, you can't think like this. Think about it, as long as the uncle moves to Wuyang Hou Mansion, the furniture in the Rongguo Mansion will not all belong to the two brothers in the future, and if the uncle will take care of it in the future, the two brothers will definitely be able to Fly to prosperity." Zhou Rui's family's efforts were explained to Mrs. Wang.

After hearing what Zhou Rui's family said, Mrs. Wang's heart began to turn.Isn't that what it is?Now if Jia Ke went to the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, it would be said that there is no separation, but in fact it is almost the same as separation.Moreover, the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion would give 5 taels of silver to this place every year, and after excluding the expenses of Marquis Wuyang Mansion, there would still be 3 or [-] taels of silver left over.I was thinking about Jia Ke's current status and whether he would compete with his two younger brothers for the family property. In this way, Jia Ke really has no conflict with himself. You have to find a way to win him over, not because he has a fork in the future.

Mrs. Wang wanted to understand this, and she felt much calmer, and then she said to Zhou Rui's family: "I understand what you said. If this is the case, then let's make things more beautiful. You choose a few good cooks and send them over there Go, there are Jia Ke's personal maids, and the little maids who clean around. You can pick any of these people, as long as they are not too crooked and can be explained to him. As for the servants everywhere, you can see It’s fine to choose, but those who don’t know what to do can’t be selected. Don’t arrange any important management in important places, these people will be arranged by the eldest brother and his wife in the end.”

Zhou Rui's family listened to Mrs. Wang's instructions, and hurriedly agreed. She must do this matter beautifully, hoping to show her face in front of Jia Ke, so that she can get his protection in the future.As for Mrs. Wang, it's just a matter of perfunctory her now. Now who doesn't know, the uncle is the pillar of the Jia family, if you don't curry favor with him, you will curry favor with someone else.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what was going on in her heart, but now she was thinking about how to please Jia Ke, thinking she understood what she meant, so she asked her to go out to do something.

As soon as Zhou Rui's family came out of Mrs. Wang's gate, she ran forward as if flying. She went to Lin Zhixiao to ask for the roster of various people in the mansion, so that she could choose candidates for Jia Ke's mansion.

When she arrived at the room where Lin Zhixiao was handling affairs, she found that Lin Zhixiao had just entered the door.

It turned out that as soon as Jia Ke left Jia Mu's room, he sent someone to find Lin Zhixiao, and Jia Ke waited for Lin Zhixiao in the small study specially prepared for him in Jia's mansion.

Now Jia Ke's status in that Jia's mansion has even surpassed Jia Amnesty, and only Jia Mu and Jia Zheng can overwhelm him.Therefore, no one dared to delay what Jia Ke ordered.Soon Lin Zhixiao appeared in front of Jia Ke.

"My lord, the servant is here. If you have anything to do, just order it?" Lin Zhixiao first saluted Jia Ke as soon as he entered the door, and then asked Jia Ke what is his order?
"It's nothing serious, it's just that there are a few letters asking you to send someone to Xuanfu Town. I have a few concubines there, some of whom you know, namely Chuncao and Qiaolian, and the other one is in Xuanfu Town. The name of Zhenxinna is Lan Xiang, and I am going to bring them back. You send one of the letters to Huang Baifeng, who is currently in charge of Xuanfu Town affairs, and he will naturally know what to do. The other letter is for Chuncao and the others. Let them be prepared, my housekeeper in Xuanfu Town is Qian Mao, please trouble him to take care of these things." Jia Ke thought that he would rarely go to Xuanfu Town again, so he thought about taking the people in Xuanfu Town When the relatives came back, after saying these words, they handed over the two prepared letters to Lin Zhixiao.

"Master, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away. Let them go early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely pick up a few aunts this morning, so as not to worry about it." Lin Zhixiao immediately gave Jia Ke a guarantee.
