Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

In fact, seeing how Linlang is rising step by step now, anyone who is a little smart will not be won over by others, because, following Linlang obviously has a future, why would one be won over by others and then be discovered and sent away by Linlang?
Only those who are not clear-headed will be lured away by others. Once they are sent away, when Linlang is promoted to a high position in the future, even if they want to come back, they will not be able to reach her and will not be able to come back.

It just so happens that this can be regarded as a screening process, which can screen out some people who are not in their right minds, so as to avoid Linlang thinking that the other party has good character and starting to train her, but she is seduced away by someone else halfway. After all, by that time, Linlang's sunk cost will be too high.

Linlang was promoted to Jieyu, which not only made Ms. Zhang happy, but also made the first wife happy.

Although Linlang has been promoted, Master Sun has not been promoted. But they are happy to have a job to do. What's more, this job is really a lucrative one. Master Sun has remained restrained and has not made any money, but his gray income is still coming in. If Master Sun made money like other people, how much money he could make in a year is simply unimaginable.

That's right, they are royal things, one egg can fetch ten taels of silver. Those high-quality items are naturally expensive, far exceeding the normal value, with profits of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

This money, which far exceeds the normal value, cannot be earned only by the person who takes the project. It must be earned by everyone involved. And with profits of hundreds or thousands of times the normal value, it is easy to imagine how much money can be made.

Fortunately, the people in the first house were able to remain stable and did not dare to make money. Of course, the main reason was that Linlang had warned them to behave themselves so that they could sit back and wait for wealth and glory.

The people in the first wife's house thought the same way. After all, the family was already many times better than before, and Linlang was rising step by step. There was no need to create trouble for Linlang for a few trivial matters. If something happened to Linlang in the end, something would happen to the first wife's house as well. It was not cost-effective and only a fool would be so short-sighted.

What's more, they are honest people and would not do such a thing.

The first wife was happy, but the second wife was terrified.

They also didn't expect that Linlang, who had already been promoted to a fourth-rank beauty, could be promoted to a fourth-rank concubine so quickly. This speed was too fast.

After all, they all know that the higher the position, the harder it is to move up.

As for Linlang's current status, they felt that it was good enough to be promoted once a year, but Linlang could be promoted several times a year. It was like cheating, which was too outrageous.

When one thinks about such a high position, there are a lot of promotion gifts every time. The people in the first house can make so much money just from collecting these promotion gifts that their hands are cramped. The people in the second house can't help but feel jealous. After all, the financial conditions of the second house have been getting worse and worse recently - the most direct manifestation is that the food is not as good as before.

In fact, it’s not that Master Sun Er made less money, but that Master Sun Er had spies in the palace and hired people to teach the girls in his family the etiquette and rules of the palace, all of which cost money.

Master Sun Er still wanted to make progress, so he didn't dare to make too much money. He was afraid that if his daughter entered the palace in the future and was really favored, he would be promoted. But if he made too much money, he would be demoted, which would be bad. Therefore, he dared to take some gray income at most.

But in this way, what he can make is limited. After all, his job is not as lucrative as that of Master Sun. His job is actually a low-paying job with limited gray income.

There was no other way. He was born in a poor family and had no connections before, so after he passed the imperial examination, he was assigned to a government office with less money, which was normal. With limited income and increasing family expenses, it was normal that money would not be enough and the food would become worse.

With such a change, how could the second wife not covet the first wife's money?

But now, they didn't dare to do as they did when Linlang first entered the palace and asked the first wife to give money to the old couple in the name of filial piety in the name of Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun.

Now Linlang is already a fourth-rank imperial concubine. It is obvious that she is extremely favored. She has also established connections with the first wife's house. Once they use such an excuse to rob the first wife's money, and the first wife tells Linlang about it, what will Linlang say in front of the emperor? Their second wife will not only not be promoted, but will also be demoted. That would be bad.

So no matter how jealous or covetous they are now, they dare not have any thoughts about the eldest wife's money.

It was Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun. At the very beginning, they had thought about asking the first wife to give the money to the second wife, because at that time the second wife cried poor and they thought the second wife had no money, so they wanted the first wife to give the money to the second wife. But now, as the first wife had more and more money, they dared not mention this matter anymore, because the first master Sun gradually gained the authority of an official, unlike at the beginning, when he still looked like a country boy. They still dared to order him around, even when he became rich later and looked like a wealthy man, they still dared to order him around. But now, the first master Sun, like the second master Sun, also gradually gained the authority of an official, so they dared not mention this matter anymore.

Because no matter whether it is the people from the second wife or the old couple, although they covet the money of the first wife, they dare not say anything about their money. So now the first wife is finally not afraid that her family has too much money and will be targeted by the people from the second wife, and then they will find all kinds of excuses to take it away.

God knows a few years ago, when Linlang first entered the palace and they had some money, they were afraid that the money would be taken away by the second wife, so they had to spend it quickly to buy houses and shops, not to keep any money on hand, lest the second wife find an excuse to ask for their money.

Now, they are not afraid anymore. After all, Linlang is doing better and better in the palace, and Master Sun has also become an official. When the old couple saw them, they became more honest and did not dare to say anything nonsense like saying that the second house has no money and asking them to support the second house.

In this case, they naturally don't need to spend all the money they have, in case the second house takes it.

If the Second House really did this, they would indeed contact Linlang as the Second House thought, and let Linlang say something in front of the Emperor to bring misfortune to the Second House.

If they didn't know that the harem couldn't interfere in government affairs, they would have talked to Linlang about it anyway. After all, they now felt that Linlang was very capable, and if there was any problem at home, they could ask Linlang for help.

It was normal for them to have such thoughts, because Linlang could rise step by step in such a complicated place as the palace, so she must be capable, at least better than everyone in the first house.

Although it is said that Linlang's rapid promotion is due to her being favored, there must be a reason for being favored, otherwise why is Linlang favored while others are not? It must be because Linlang is smart and knows how to make the emperor like her.

Since Linlang is sure to be smart, isn't it normal to ask Linlang for solutions when something happens at home? (End of this chapter)
