Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Speaking of Jia Lian, people always like to pay attention to his romantic affairs. In addition, he married a "hero in the makeup team", so no one praised his talents.

After Jia Lian used this body, he discovered that this person was a genius in mathematics.

If others need to dial the abacus to calculate things carefully, he can get the answer after listening to it once. Not only is he good at mental arithmetic, he also has unique insights into accounting.

This is an advantage for Jia Lian now, who has the brains of a science student for the first time. The accounting issues that were a headache at first can now be understood at a glance.

For example, regarding the issue of the monthly silver earned by Qingwen's family, he could tell at a glance that it was a plan by the Lai family to embezzle the Jia family's money.

Nowadays, there is no big event like proposing marriage, and the Jia family's daily expenses are only about three thousand taels of silver a year. The monthly profit accounted for half of the money, and the other half was spent on food and drink.

The Lai family plays a role in these two aspects.

But this is not just corruption in his family, all the slaves of the Jia family have this problem. Not to mention that they forcefully buy and sell goods outside, pass off inferior goods as good ones, or cause trouble in the name of the Jia family.

This kind of thing happens in every household and is tacitly tolerated.

As far as Jia Lian's memory is concerned, when he asked Jia She and Jia Zheng when he was young and ignorant, all he got was the saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

However, one of the two brothers spoke sarcastically, while the other sighed silently.

Because the Emperor was too kind to the old aristocratic families, even the families of his ministers were the same.

The Jia family is a family with military exploits, so they have long been accustomed to eating meat and drinking soup together. Although servants are humble, they can save lives at critical moments!

Jiao Da dared to rely on his old age to act like he was old, and he drank and cursed in the streets because of what he did back then.

The same goes for the Lai family.

Aunt Lai's husband was born to a descendant of Jia Yuan's big-headed soldier. His hand was broken in the war and Jia Yuan took him into his care.

Then Aunt Lai's husband followed Jia Daishan to fight on the battlefield. Then he injured his leg, and was assigned the personal maid next to Jia Mu as his wife.

Then he gained Jia's mother's trust and became her right-hand man in managing the Jia family.

In fact, by the time Lai Da and Lai Er were born, their family was already considered to be a little rich. If you really want long-term benefits, separate the Lai family and help them become good citizens in the long run.

But Lai Da and Lai Er were not interested in studying, so they settled for the next best thing and begged for the grace of their masters, and found an iron rice bowl in the Jia family.

There is still some loyalty in their family, and they are very measured.

The Lai family also has a daughter with outstanding looks, but she never thought of marrying into the Jia family and becoming the husband's aunt.

Therefore, Jia Mu has a higher regard for Aunt Lai's family and loves to use their family more.

The Lai family originally lived and ate in Jia's house, but they moved out only after the branches and leaves grew. Their family also married according to the dowry maids of the mistress of the house, so it became more and more prosperous.

So Jia Lian knew there was a problem in their family, but he just couldn't fire him. His family has grown into the Jia family's flesh, and if it moves, it will hurt the Jia family's muscles and bones.

Moreover, the current owners of the Jia family are still Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, but Jia Lian has no say.

Jia Lian tried to talk to a few promising talents, but few were willing to go out with him. Moreover, Jia Lian has nothing to do to impress people at present, so he can only wait for news from Wang Zitengchu.

Therefore, he would hang around Sister Feng when he had nothing to do, as a way of exchanging feelings.

Sister Feng is better than Jia Lian, and she has already gotten along well with him after just a few days.

Jia Lian tried unsuccessfully to test Lin Zhixiao's family, so she promised to be a short-lived godmother.

Jia Lian saw how she conquered the Lin Zhixiao family. When Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law came to deliver something, she smiled and pulled her to chat, and after three or five sentences, she got to the main topic.

"I thought you couldn't speak, but you managed the errand so well. I thought you two were very good at getting things done without saying a word. You don't like to go out and make a fuss. Let people outside know about it.”

"I have been thinking about who can arrange for you to go to a good place for work? I have praised you two at my aunt several times. But there are too many talents at the wife and the second wife. Even if you two are as good as heaven, you are still outstanding in them. I won’t leave you two alone.”

"But we are different. Although your second master Lian is not a serious housekeeper, he will definitely have a future as a man. I think you are smart, so I love to give you this opportunity. I want to be a bole, but I don't know What do your family think?"

"Anyway, I thought, if I don't use you, I'm afraid others won't have the same vision. If you are waiting for Baoyu, you will have to wait."

Sister Feng trimmed her hair and smiled casually at Lin Zhixiao's family. Seeing that she hesitated for a moment, she bowed down and kowtowed, and then helped the person up with a smile.

Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law knelt down and said, "Grandma thinks highly of us, which is a blessing for us as a couple. When the second master said it, we wanted to admit it. But we were both clumsy and were afraid that it would delay our important event, so... …”

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? If you say anything else, I won't know it yet. But when you say this, neither Lian Er nor I are stupid. I will train you and you will know it. At worst, I will be your godmother , when you follow me to do things in the future, I will teach you." Sister Feng went to help her again, but Lin Zhixiao's wife knelt more straightly.

"That's a good relationship. I thank grandma for her kindness. Working with me and grandma is what we as a couple should do. How can we surpass grandma and become godmother?"

Lin Zhixiao's wife also laughed and replied, if she didn't agree, Second Mistress Lian would be killed. The couple originally wanted to capture Qiao, but in fact they had long been optimistic about Jia Lian and his wife being the masters.

"Hahaha, oh, I just said you are smart. I am not a master, I am the master, and I am your godmother. It is also fate. In the long run, it is still up to Lian Er to control us. The couple will never let you down, hahahaha."

Sister Feng took down Lin Zhixiao's family and turned around to give Jia Lian a proud smile.

She knew that Jia Lian wanted to subjugate Lin Zhixiao's family, but after a long time he still couldn't, so she went up and used "lady diplomacy".

This servant of the Lin family is also a woman who has the final say, but that idiot Lian Er can't see it.

Still underestimated their women, huh!

Jia Lian smiled and let it go.

He watched it for a few days and decided to try with the bald boys. People who have a family like this generally like stability. If he wants them to endure hardships with him, they must be as eloquent as Sister Feng.

But although Jia Lian is not stupid, he cannot be as coercive and tempting as Sister Feng, telling lies with open eyes. And she won't be as eloquent as Sister Feng, who can fool people into lameness just by turning a corner.

On this point, he still had to learn from Sister Feng.
