The eldest son of the red mansion

At this time, the family members of Jia's mansion who were present were already boiling.They didn't expect that the minister of military aircraft would be so powerful, even surpassing the previous cabinet bachelor.Coupled with Jia Ke's inner bodyguard minister, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and Jiedu Beijing Second Battalion, Jia Ke has now reached the peak that a minister can achieve.Since then, their Jia family has returned to the top position in Beijing, and these aristocratic families in Beijing will probably respect their Jia family in the future.

As for the children of the Jia family, they might have to walk sideways in Beijing in the future, even in this world, they can go there.

And the maids who heard them talking at the side were also very happy and didn't know what to say. In this way, they will also rise, and there will definitely be many people who will come to ask them to do things in the future. People like them who have face in front of the master, Just ask the master, just send a post to the infantry commander's yamen and the matter will be settled.In this way, not only will he gain face in front of outsiders, but more importantly, he will gain benefits.

But among these people present, there were two people whose hearts were gloomy. They were Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhu.The higher Jia Ke's official position and power, the more they showed their desperation.

In particular, Mrs. Wang has begun to feel uneasy. She can fully imagine how the servants of Jia's mansion will curry favor with Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke after the news of the court today spread. To be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.Mother Jia would not tolerate it. The mother of the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion was just a concubine. Although Aunt Zhou is also a good concubine now, a good concubine is also a concubine.It was not known whether she would have a place in Jia's mansion, and at this moment she couldn't help feeling grateful that Jia Lian had married her niece from her natal family.At that time, I will have a helper here.

But Jia Zhu's complexion is gloomy now. He thought he would be named on the gold list, and then soared into the sky.But so many years have passed, and I am still a scholar, and my concubine, who I didn't think much of at the time, is now an extremely human minister, who can already be called Jia Xiang, and has reached the highest peak that all courtiers can achieve .Even if he gets a title on the gold list in the future, he will have to live under Jia Ke's hands for decades.Even if the official career goes well, everyone will think that because he is Jia Ke's younger brother, he has received special care.

While the others didn't care what the two of them were thinking, Jia She patted the table and laughed.In these years, he rarely laughed like this. Although he acted absurdly, he was still very excited that his family had such a big backer.He knew the consequences of losing his backer. When Jia Daishan was around, no one dared to do anything to him when he caused trouble outside.It's not like he can only stay at home now, and dare not do even the slightest big things.

And Jia Zhen walked back and forth excitedly. He had always acted absurdly and had many violations of the law. Now he felt that with Jia Ke, those things before were nothing.

And Jia Lian was also very excited at this time. Earlier, Jia Ke promised him to find a way out for him, but he still didn't believe it. Now there is no doubt, but he himself feels that it doesn't matter if he is an official or not. As long as there is a brother like Jia Ke exist.No one else would dare to disrespect him. He might as well enjoy the glory and wealth at home. If he went to other places to become an official, he would not know what he would suffer. There is no such prosperity and wealth in the capital.

Only Jia Zheng saw their excitement, sat down again, and slapped the table hard with his hand?He said loudly: "Don't be too happy too early. Although the eldest brother is now the minister of military aircraft, we should keep a low profile. The eldest brother is now a bright target. Everyone is staring at it with wide eyes. Don't worry about it because of these trivial things. Little things, let our big brother stumble."

At this time, Mother Jia also spoke: "What the second child said is very true. Now that the elder brother has just arrived at the top position, he is still young. I don't know how many people are watching his jokes. If you lose the big because of small things, why don't you tell me?" Don’t blame me for being rude.”

That's when everyone calmed down a little bit and said they dared not dare to Jiamu together.But in fact, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others didn't take it seriously, thinking that Jia's mother was too careful.As long as Jia Ge does not lose the favor of the emperor, who would dare to make trouble for Jia Ke at this juncture?

Mother Jia saw that it was a happy day to suppress these people a little, so she didn't make things difficult for them.Instead, he turned around and said to Jia Zheng: "Brother is not the same as before. You can no longer live in a small courtyard with Aunt Zhou. Hasn't the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion next to you been cleaned up? Let the elder brother leave today." Move over."

"What mother said is very true. Eldest brother is now a member of the imperial court. I don't know how many foreign officials and subordinates I have to meet every day. It is not suitable to live here anymore. It is good to move there today." Jia Zheng listened. Mother Jia agreed with her words all over her face.

Seeing that Jia Zheng agreed, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang: "Aren't the slaves in the mansion rich now? You have gathered the slaves from all over the place today and sent them to the Marquis of Wuyang. The body deed is also sent over, otherwise these slaves will not be easy to discipline."

Mrs. Wang stood up and said to Jia Mu: "What mother said is that our family has been slaves for several lifetimes, and many of them have no job to do. Going to Wuyanghou's mansion this time will give them a future."

"Even if we want to let them go, we must also choose those who are honest, and don't want any of those who steal, rape, cheat, eat, drink and play cards." Jia's mother knows these slaves in the family very well. In the past, it was just out of affection and did not over-rectify.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu had finished giving her orders, she went up to give it to Jia Mu again, and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell my mother. Longwu Yanghou's mansion is really too big, and it's no different from our Rongguo mansion." , I’m afraid I can’t clean it up in one day, so I can only clean up a few yards on the main seat first, let the eldest brother live first, and slowly clean up the others in the next few days.”

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Mu also nodded.Although she has never been to Wuyang Houhu, but she heard guys say that it is no worse than the Rongguo Mansion where she lives, it seems that she is a little too hasty.

"Since this is the case, let's tidy up slowly first. Clean up the front living room and the yards near Wuwei Hall, so that elder brother can have a place to live and a good place to receive guests."

"It's still the old lady who is thoughtful, and I left the elder brother to do these things today." After saying this, Mrs. Wang thought for a while and asked Jia's mother, "There is one more thing I can't decide. I want to ask my mother Show me."

"If there is anything else that I have to decide, you housekeeper, you can handle it at your own discretion." Mother Jia doesn't care much about these things now, but she still holds tight to the general direction.

Mrs. Wang said again: "Eldest brother is moving to Wuyanghou's mansion, the monthly money of these slaves in the mansion, and the expenses of Wuyanghou's mansion will be taken from the public house or what?"

When Jia's mother heard Mrs. Wang's question, her face changed. She didn't expect Mrs. Wang to be born in a wealthy family, so she was so short-sighted. Who is Jia Ke now?It's short of money and expenses for a few months.He doesn't need to say it himself now, as long as he shows a little bit of meaning, the whole world is eager to pay him this money as soon as possible.Now this Wang family wants to make a clear distinction with Jia Ke for the sake of these small money, which is simply extremely stupid.It seems that the new daughter-in-law has come in and is going to hand over the housekeeping power.

After hearing Madam Wang's words, Jia Ke was quite willing, and he also hoped that his own small family would not be involved in the intrigue of the Rongguo Mansion.So he hurried forward and said to Jia Mu: "I know that the mansion is not well-off, and I will bear all the expenses of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion in the future. The old lady and mother don't have to worry."

After hearing what he said, Jia's mother immediately changed her face, and reprimanded him: "Nonsense, put this away quickly, my old lady is still here, there is no reason to let her grandson go out. In the future, you Things in the mansion are the same as here, I see who dares to make irresponsible remarks."

After Jia Mu finished talking about Jia Ke, she said to Mrs. Wang: "An ignorant stupid woman, I'm the one who has the final say in this house, so there's no reason for you to make the decision. When I die one day, it won't be too late for you to come and make the decision. "

At this time, Jia Zheng also heard the truth, so he turned to Mrs. Wang and reprimanded, "Don't you know that your parents don't separate the family? I'm not dead yet, so you are thinking about this family business. This Could it be that your palace taught them?" Jia Zheng is full of confidence now, unlike before Madam Wang felt that she was going to be a head shorter than her, because of her elder brother's high position and authority, he and Jia's family have sticks to rely on, now he His son is the minister of military aircraft, and everyone in the world, except the emperor, depends on his face. What is there to be afraid of as Jia Ke's father?

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 abused 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: "It is disrespectful for the old lady and father to say that, 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.
