The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 682 Seizing Power
Jia Ke's will was quickly sent to the current Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion.

When these people received the decree, they naturally burst into cheers. Although Jia Ke hadn't given them a house that matched their identities, they were already able to calm down based on this decree.

Among them, the most excited one was not the men who received titles, but Li Zhi from the Rongguo Mansion.

Since Li Zhi married into Rongguo Mansion, she has been under the care of two mothers-in-law above, and various sisters and sisters-in-law below, and her husband is not in good health. If she didn't have a child, she didn't know if she could persevere.

Now that Jia Ke's imperial edict arrives, Li Zhi will be the princess in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and the elders of the family have all moved to the palace to enjoy their blessings. Now Rongguo Mansion can be regarded as being in charge of her.

Li Zhi's original performance of not fighting or grabbing here is just because she is very smart and knows that even if she fights, she will not lose any benefits. It is better to behave modestly and save a good reputation.

But it's different now, her husband is the legitimate King Rong, who is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and as Princess Rong, she naturally has to support everything in the Rongguo Mansion.

There is no dignified Prince Rong's Mansion, but it is the reason for the sister-in-law to run the house.

Therefore, on the second day after Li Zhi got the title, he sent a servant girl to inform Wang Xifeng, asking her to prepare the account book and prepare to hand it over.

Moreover, Li Zhi immediately moved their residence to the Rongxi Hall, which can be regarded as justifiably taking over the Rongguo Mansion.

Next, Li Zhi changed the sign of Rongguo Mansion to Rongwang Mansion.

Originally, the brand of the Rongguo Mansion should have been changed after Jia Zheng became the king of Rong, but Jia Zheng was a low-key person, thinking that Jia Ke was a powerful minister at the time, he didn't know how much pressure he would be under, and he had no choice but to be a father To reduce the pressure on my son, it is better to keep a low profile.

Therefore, although Jia Zheng was named King Rong, the sign of Rongguo Mansion has not been changed, and Rongguo Mansion has not been expanded according to the scale of the palace.

But now that Jia Ke has justified himself as the emperor, and made his second brother Jia Zhu the honorable king, Li Zhi feels that there is no need to keep a low profile anymore.

So Li Zhi recruited manpower on the second day, and while painting the appearance of the expansion of Rongguo Mansion into Rongwang Mansion, he ordered to go to the Ministry of Industry and tell them to prepare craftsmen and wood for the expansion of Rongguo Mansion.

And Jia Zhu, who had been convalescing in the room, was also a little displeased to see Li Zhi's tossing around.What is this doing?
Let you be the master of the house and toss like this, isn't this leaving gossip for others?Especially his uncle Jia She lived in the small house next to him.

If the Rongguo Mansion is going to be expanded here, how embarrassing would it be for Jia She who is next to him.

So Jia Zhu called Li Zhi to her room, and wanted to talk to her carefully, so that she could restrain herself.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid it's a little bit uncomfortable for our newly named King Rong to be doing so much construction work?"

Li Zhi glanced at Jia Zhu, then turned up the corner of his mouth and said, "Master, don't you feel aggrieved by living all these years? You were originally the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, but everyone in the Rongguo Mansion dotes on Baoyu and treats you Put it aside. Now that we can finally be the masters of the house, and keep such a low profile, how will we live in the future?"

After Jia Zhu heard this, she was silent for a while. Over the years, she has indeed lived a bit aggrieved. Almost all the family members of Rongguo Mansion thought that they would not live long, so they all went out to curry favor with Baoyu.

"That is to say, now Baoyu is still living in Rongguo Mansion, and the emperor hasn't arranged a house for him yet, so we are going to start construction now, isn't that driving him away?"

Li Zhi smiled after hearing this, "Who said there is no house? Isn't there an empty palace next to it? You really think that the current emperor wants to keep him."

Jia Zhu was also taken aback when she heard that, the Yanwang Mansion next to it was originally intended for Jia Ke to live in, but as soon as the construction was completed, Jia Ke usurped the throne and became the Nine-Five Supreme.

The house was naturally vacant, and Jia Ke's two children were still young, and now they were by their mother's side. It might take more than ten years before they really went out to build the palace.

In this way, is it true that this house has been abandoned for more than ten years?It seems that Li Zhi really said that this house was either given to Jia Baoyu by Jia Ke, or given to Jia Amnesty.

"Then I heard that you took back the housekeeping rights of Lian's second daughter-in-law. What's the reason for that?"

"My lord, you are confused. How can our dignified Prince Rong's mansion let our brothers and daughters-in-law be housekeepers? If it gets out, it will be hard to say."

Jia Zhu nodded silently when she heard this, thinking in her heart that his daughter-in-law is really thoughtful, and she is not in good health, so she can't take care of these mundane things anymore, so let her do it in the future, and there is elder brother Jia Ke on top Now, she can't afford to turn over any waves.

"Madam is right, but I was a little confused. From then on, Mrs. Lao will be responsible for the affairs of this family."

After Li Zhi finished listening, he nodded with a smile. Jia Zhu had given her power.

But Li Zhi turned his mind and remembered another thing, that is her child Jia Lan. Although the child is still young, Jia Zhu is not only his wife, but also several concubines, one of whom is now Already pregnant.

So Li Zhi thought that before the child was born, he would give Jia Lan the title, so as to save those concubines from being arrogant and arrogance, which they shouldn't have.

"My lord, do you see that our Lan'er has appointed him the title of son?"

When Jia Zhu heard Li Zhi's words, she nodded, "I was negligent about this matter. I will write a memorial and send it to my elder brother in two days, so that my elder brother canonize our Lan'er as his son."

In fact, Jia Zhu knew it well without Li Zhi mentioning it. He had read the books of Confucius and Mencius for so many years, and he highly respected the way of concubine and concubine.

In Jia Zhu's heart, Jia Lan is his only heir, and the other children can only live in separate families in the future.

Not to mention that Jia Zhu and Li Zhi were discussing the affairs of the Rong Mansion here, but also that Wang Xifeng was there in the small courtyard behind the Rongxi Hall, and almost threw all the things in the house.

It was only because Wang Xifeng received a message from Li Zhi asking her to hand over the right to be the housekeeper of Rongfu.

Others didn't know the situation, but Wang Xifeng knew very well that Rongguo Mansion's accounts were a mess. If Li Zhi wanted to reconcile the accounts, Wang Xifeng would be the one who would suffer the most.

Ping'er looked at Wang Xifeng's troubles, so he could only come up to persuade him: "Master, there is no other way now, let's hurry up and redo the account book."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "It's easy for you to say. Over the years, it's not that you don't know the loopholes in this account. How can it be so easy to make up for it?"

After Ping'er finished listening, she lowered her head and had nothing to say. She knew that their master had been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion all these years, and had benefited a lot from the people of the Rongguo Mansion. I have to make up a lot of money.

Sitting there, Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, thinking that now she couldn't take out the money anyway, because her private houses were simply not enough.

If it was because of this incident that he had a fight with Jia Zhu, he would end up looking bad in the end.It seems that I have to find money to make up for it from other places.

So Wang Xifeng tidied up her clothes and said to Ping'er next to her, "I'm going to go to the palace to prepare the sedan chair."

Seeing this scene, Ping'er thought that Wang Xifeng wanted to go to the palace to see the old lady, and asked the old lady to settle the matter with the ceremony, so she hurried out to prepare.

After the car was ready, Wang Xifeng got on the car, and was escorted by the servants and servants to the front of the palace.

The imperial guards didn't dare to neglect when they saw the vehicles of Jia's mansion lined up at the gate, so they immediately went up to inquire.

Wang Xifeng slightly raised the sedan chair curtain, and said to the officer of the Imperial Army who was interrogating: "Go in and report to the emperor, and just say that Wang Xifeng is asking to see you."

The little general who was marching was naturally aware of Wang Xifeng's identity, so he didn't dare to neglect and reported to the eunuch on duty inside.

When the eunuch got the news, he first came out to salute Wang Xifeng, and then sent the little eunuch to report to Jia Ke in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Not long after, news came from inside, asking Wang Xifeng to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have an audience.

Wang Xifeng entered the palace, changed into a soft sedan chair, and accompanied by maids and eunuchs came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked her maid Ping'er to wait outside, while Wang Xifeng entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation under the guidance of the eunuch. .

As soon as Wang Xifeng entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she looked up and saw Jia Ke sitting on the throne, wearing a dragon robe.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xifeng's mouth, and she went forward to wish Jia Ke a blessing, "My concubine Wang Xifeng, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Jia Ke looked at Wang Xifeng, thinking in her heart what is this Wang Xifeng doing here?
"Be flat."

Only then did Wang Xifeng stand up, and stood respectfully aside.

"Is there something wrong with your audience this time?"

"If you go back to Wansui, there are some things that I want to tell Wansui."

Is Jia Ke noncommittal?He knew that Wang Xifeng was not a cheap lamp, and he didn't know what problems he was going to create for himself this time.

Wang Xifeng received that Jia Ke didn't speak, so she glanced up secretly, and then said: "I have a secret to report to Lord Long Live."

"Since there is something, let's talk about it."

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and then slowly walked up the imperial steps. Li Deshan, who was standing beside Jia Ke, stared wide-eyed at the sight of this situation. Dare to go up the imperial steps privately?

So Li Deshan hurried up to stop Wang Xifeng, "Madam, you are more polite."

Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Ke, and at this time Jia Ke was also looking at Wang Xifeng, and the eyes of the two of them just met.

For some reason, Jia Ke felt her heart pounding, so she waved to Li Deshan who was next to her. Li Deshan was also a smart person, so she hurriedly stepped aside when she saw this situation.

Wang Xifeng came to Jia Ke's side in three steps and two steps, and said softly in Jia Ke's ear: "Long live, Princess Li wants to check Rong Guofu's previous account. what to do?"

When Wang Xifeng said this, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell into Jia Ke's arms.
