Chapter 383 Do You Still Want to Be Better Off? (Please Subscribe)

An intra-family exchange allowed participants to unify their thoughts.

Ningrong's Second Mansion was lent to the eldest master to observe his filial piety, and he became completely silent in official circles.

Their main focus is on the development and construction of the offshore territories and the southwest territories.

Jia Huan was very emotional. At this time, Rong Mansion was full of talents.

Master Zheng didn't mention it, but Jia Lian had already experienced it.

It can be seen from his words and deeds that he knows local affairs and officialdom well. If he uses them well, he can definitely accomplish a lot of things!

As for Lin Ruhai, he is now completely bound to Rong Mansion.

He will not be back in Beijing for long this time, and will take his daughter Lin Daiyu with him when he leaves.

After all, the eldest master of Rong Mansion has passed away, and it is not appropriate for her to stay in Rong Mansion any longer.

Naturally, the wedding date of Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu can only be postponed for one year.

There is nothing that can be done about this, and both Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu can understand it.

Only the old lady was a little disappointed. Lin Daiyu left to get married in Yingchun. Tanchun and Xichun also had things to do on weekdays. Rongqing Hall inevitably became deserted.

The old lady's reaction to the death of the elder was very dull.

The eldest man was already in his early sixties at this time, so he could not be considered a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

The old lady had said before that according to the eldest man's unrestrained lifestyle, his body and bones would not be able to hold on for long. Unexpectedly, he died completely.

Obviously, she had been psychologically prepared for the death of the eldest master!

The relationship between mother and son has long since been wiped away.

However, the death of the eldest man made the old lady lose the possibility of completely controlling the Rong Mansion.

Even if Master Zheng is still filial to her, Mrs. Wang will not agree.

Fortunately, the old lady has passed her eighties, and her mentality has become more peaceful and stable. She has gradually become more open-minded about the matter of being in power, and does not attach as much importance to it as before.

As long as Mr. Zheng Er is alive for one day, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to completely suppress the old lady.

With Lin Daiyu's departure, Xichun was also invited back to Ning Mansion to settle down.

Soon, the place in Rong Mansion gradually fell silent.

During the period of mourning, the Rongfu will not participate in any activities inside or outside the capital, and will not actively invite other people to their homes for happy events. This is an established rule.

Even Jia Huan couldn't do anything in the early stage of keeping filial piety for the eldest master.

Just as he said, the sudden silence of Ningrong's Second Mansion and the Jia family in the capital saved a lot of trouble. At least the officials in the court would not deliberately target them at this moment.

That would lead to a deadly feud!

Unless you are sure that you can beat Ning Rong to death with a stick, there will be trouble in the future.

Just kidding, even a fool knows that this is unlikely to happen.

Unless Ning Rong's second mansion shows obvious signs of rebellion, the current emperor will not let anything happen to Jia Huan and Jia Cong easily!

Again, Daqian lacks generals who can fight and win wars!

And brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong are such generals in the army!

Unless there is really no external trouble in Daqian, and there is no big war in a short period of time, the current emperor will only take care of Jia Huan and Jia Cong if he is crazy.

However, something happened when the eldest master's coffin was sent to Tiejian Temple for temporary storage.

Because Tieyuan Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is not suitable for female family members to stay here for too long, let alone stay overnight.

Similar to the original work of Red Mansion, the female family members of Ning Rong's second house ran to Shuiyue An not far away to take a break.

Anyone who knows anything about the original story of Red Mansion will know that one of the famous stories is that Wang Xifeng took over the lawsuit, which led to the death of a pair of miserable mandarin ducks in Chang'an City.

The intermediary who asked Wang Xifeng to "make peace" was the host of Shuiyue Temple.

Of course, this time is not a lawsuit in Chang'an, but it also involves a wealthy family.

That's right, the host of Shuiyue Temple took the opportunity and found Wang Xifeng, hoping that Wang Xifeng would help "make peace".

The reward given to Yu was similar to the original version of Red Mansion, both three thousand taels of silver!

Wang Xifeng was a little moved!

After all, in her opinion, she could easily earn three thousand taels of silver just by helping out with 'mundane matters', which was too much money.

But she was a little hesitant. Such a thing could easily lead to anger.

After all, the person she was trying to help with the 'evening' had a certain amount of strength in her own right!

Although it is incomparable to Rongfu, it is not so easy to handle if you go to all lengths.

She was not bothered by the money issue at this time, and she had moved to the East Courtyard early, so some of her thoughts and ideas were not seriously disturbed by Mrs. Wang.

If it were Mrs. Wang, she would agree without hesitation, regardless of the consequences.

It's not that Mrs. Wang has no brains, but that she lacks the necessary understanding and respect for Da Qian Lv.

Wang Xifeng is in charge of internal and external power in Dongyuan, and has made some progress.

In addition, Jia Lian was a local official, so he had to know more or less about official affairs, instead of being as brainless as a son born in the family and looking down on officials below the third rank.

Unable to make up her mind, she told her confidant Ping'er.

Ping'er was a little surprised and hurriedly informed Jia Lian about the matter, and then Jia Huan knew about it.

"If you don't want Brother Lian to have the opportunity to be promoted to the capital, or even lose his official position, it's not a big deal for Sister-in-law Feng to make money for others!"

Jia Huan didn't say anything harsh, he just made the consequences clear.

"so serious?"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback and said in disbelief: "That's not true!"

"Why not?"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Everyone is willing to pay three thousand taels of silver. Plus the agency fee of Shuiyue'an, I'm afraid it will cost more than four thousand taels of silver in one go!"

"So much money, just to 'settle' a lawsuit!"

"What if the officials responsible for handling the lawsuit also want to make a huge profit?"

Jia Huan smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law Feng, by doing this, isn't it ruining people's wealth?"

Since Wang Xifeng didn't quite understand the ways of the officialdom, he simply spoke more frankly to let her understand whether what he did would offend anyone.

"The current local officials are basically from the imperial examination!"

"It may not be anything in itself, but Rongfu can easily crush it to death!"

"But I can't stand it. That guy has the same year as his master. That's quite a civil servant faction!"

"As long as they target you, Brother Lian will have no hope of getting promoted or transferred to the capital in the future. He may even encounter overt or covert suppression by them!"

"As for how to choose, it's Sister-in-law Feng's own choice, and I can't say much!"

There were too many such tempting things, and he couldn't control them at all.

After clearly explaining the pros and cons, he really didn't care much about Wang Xifeng's final choice.

Some things simply cannot be stopped.

Even if it is stopped this time, is it possible that it can be stopped next time?

He didn't even intend to deliberately target the host of Shuiyue An. As long as there were no obvious problems in Shuiyue An, or the fault was directly at his hands, there was no need to pay any attention to it.

In the capital, there are no shortage of people like Shuiyuean’s host!

It's just that some entities are engaged in high-end business, while others are a bit underwhelming.

In comparison, Shuiyue'an's hosting level is much better than Madao's.

Speaking of which, I don’t know what’s going on?

Since Qin Keqing escaped death, although the core members of Ning Rong's second house have encountered some disasters, except for the eldest master who could not bear to die, the rest of them are all in good health.

Jia Jing, a cultivator who was supposed to have died, is still alive and well.

This guy must have been influenced by Jia Huan, or stimulated, and changed to the inner alchemy technique.

In other words, he no longer took the so-called pills, but instead practiced breathing and breathing.

The breathing method he practiced was provided by Jia Huan.

I originally thought that this guy had a close connection with Daomen, but who knew what kind of guy he was?

The Taoist priests in Xuanzhen Temple were inferior to the Taoist sect. They were asked to go back and invite several powerful sect members to come over, which made Mr. Jing very angry.

But it is also the case. After practicing the breathing method provided by Jia Huan for several years, coupled with a reasonable diet, Jia Jing is still in good health even though he is approaching seventy at this time.

Even at the elder's funeral, this guy showed up and startled all the guests.

Even Jia Zhen, half of her body paralyzed, is still alive and well at this time.

This guy's physical condition is quite good. After he couldn't indulge in drinking and sex, even though his temper became more and more violent, his body and bones were indeed quite good.

At this time, even Jia Dairu, who was almost catching up with the old lady in age, was still living well.

This is also the main reason why the host of Shuiyue An contacted Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng did not believe in gods and Buddhas, so she would not come to Shuiyue Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

In the end, Wang Xifeng wisely gave up the business without causing any disturbance.

At this time, Wang Xifeng valued housekeeping power much more than money!

There is no shortage of money on hand, so there is no need to get involved in soliciting lawsuits.

Although Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian had a lot of conflicts because they refused to follow Jia Lian to the place.

But Wang Xifeng is not a fool. How could he know that soliciting lawsuits would bring a lot of trouble to Jia Lian, and yet take the initiative to participate in such a thing, thinking that the relationship between husband and wife can withstand how much trouble?

Of course, this is a wake-up call for Jia Huan!

He, Mr. Zheng and Qin Keqing have all mentioned that they should pay attention to this aspect.

The current civil service system is probably full of depression and really wants to find trouble. Don't take the initiative to give them an excuse!

The reason why I think so is just a simple empathy.

If Jia Huan was an important member of the civil service system, or even a cabinet boss, he would definitely be very dissatisfied with the current situation and would cause trouble to the royal family members and the noble group.

These guys want to use their huge energy and power to continuously provide various materials and resources to the overseas territories. If they don't make a hard effort, wouldn't it be too easy for them?

If you want to convert the power and strength of Daqian into real territories and benefits in the outer seas, and even establish vassal states in the outer seas, have you asked them the opinions of these civil servants?

You don't even know how to share the benefits of things that are beneficial, do you still want to live in peace?
