Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 694
"Master, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

In the side hall of Ning'an Hall, Qin Keqing, who was dealing with household chores, hurried out to greet Jia Rong when she heard Jia Rong's return, and asked curiously while ordering the servant girl to serve tea and water.

"I'm not an old lady from the West Manor, but she wanted to take advantage of the Jinling clan's dissatisfaction with me, and the trouble was a bit unpleasant!"

Sitting down, Jia Rong took the warm water from the servant girl. Jia Rong didn't hide anything, and directly described the things in the Rongqing Hall of the West Mansion briefly.

In the end, he glanced at Qin Keqing, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and reminded: "If you have nothing to do in the future, don't run to the West Mansion!"

"The old lady over there is used to relying on her old age to sell her old age. I don't know where she got so much energy to toss around?"

For Jia Mu, Jia Rong can be said to be quite speechless.

As the saying goes, people are old and spirited, and Jia Mu can be said to be quite old and spicy.

At least, in terms of taking advantage of opportunities, there is also a lot of experience in infighting.

That is to say, Jia Rong is well-informed and doesn't fall for it at all, otherwise she doesn't know how much trouble she will suffer.

It's not an exaggeration at all, otherwise she wouldn't be able to firmly hold the core authority of the Rong Mansion for many years, and easily maintain her special status by playing with her two sons.

It's just that this person may ignore the affairs outside, or the affairs of the court have been too long, and he is not very clear about the changes in the situation outside the house.

Under her control, Rong Mansion declined at an exaggerated rate.

It's not that Mother Jia didn't work hard, but in the end she put her hopes on Wang Ziteng and forcibly gave up the top position of the four major families in Jinling.

Not only that, Wang Ziteng didn't intend to pull Rongfu at all, otherwise the official position of the second master of politics would not be so embarrassing.

In the story of the Red Chamber, Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to rise up and even usurped many rights and interests of the old lady.

At that time, Mother Jia, who was too old and felt powerless, simply chose to enjoy a life of honor. As for whether Rong Mansion can be revitalized, it is estimated that it is not within the scope of consideration.

These are actually nothing.

With the resources of the Rong Mansion, there is no problem at all in providing the old lady with a dignified life in her later years.

Even the royal family is willing to give face to Jiamu, the old lord.

But Mother Jia has one bad thing, that is, she has a strong desire to control.

It's annoying to want to control everything.

"Master, the old lady takes good care of my concubine!"

Qin Keqing smiled gently, unconsciously giving people a kind of spring breeze.

I don't know if it's because of her personality, or because she wants to gain a good reputation among the women in the backyard of the Ningrong Second Mansion. She obviously doesn't take Jia Rong's reminder seriously.

"My concubine has a very good relationship with Brother Feng from the West Mansion. The old lady will often call my concubine over to talk. It would be bad if I suddenly become alienated!"

Although the words are gentle and amiable, the meaning in the words is quite firm.

"It's up to you! If you suffer in the future, don't say I didn't remind you!"

Jia Rong didn't really care too much, they've been married for a while, and he still knows Qin Keqing's temperament.

"Thank you, sir, for your understanding!"

Qin Keqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and served her husband Jia Rong more attentively.

The number one beauty in the Red Chamber served her carelessly, but Jia Rong was still very satisfied.

Not to mention, Qin Keqing is still a serious fairy descending to the world, and it is even more impossible to make a fuss about her face.

Jia Rong finally came back, and Qin Keqing took the opportunity to briefly tell him about the chores in the Ning Mansion.

For example, income from fields and shops in the public!
Under her rectification, the income from the fields and shops in the public school has increased significantly, which shows that it is quite capable of operating.

Of course, due to the constraints of vision and the external environment, Qin Keqing's ability is still within the normal range, and there is nothing too outstanding.

As long as the servants sent by the Ning Mansion to collect rent and the shopkeepers sent to manage the shops are properly rectified, the income can basically be greatly increased.

In the story of the Red Chamber, Zhuangzi in Rongfu suffered from disasters every year, and in the end he didn't even get half of the harvest.

Is this normal?

As for the shop, it is even more privately corrupted by the shopkeeper in charge of the management, and there is not much real benefit.

However, Mrs. Wang, who is in charge of management, still has to maintain a charitable face.

Perhaps my own business ability is quite limited, and I see or fail to see the problems in it, and finally nothing is done.

Otherwise, if you really deal with it ruthlessly and directly copy the homes of those families who gave birth to children, not to mention at least a million taels of silver can be scraped out.

But in the end, the people in power in the Rong Mansion did nothing.

At that time, in fact, there was no such thing as a slave bullying the master.

It's just that I can't make up my mind, and I don't have the courage to go all out.

The situation in the Ning Mansion is naturally not much better.

Although Mrs. Zhao had rectified the inner courtyard before, Zhuangzi and the shop were not affected.

After Qin Keqing took power, she naturally had to perform well.

Although she acted very gentle and pleasant, but the skill of managing the subordinates is not bad at all, otherwise the income of Gongzhong would not increase sharply in a short time.

Of course, she has the full support of Jia Rong and Mrs. Zhao behind her behavior, otherwise the resistance and troubles will not be small.

The number of family-born children who were secretly handled by Jia Rong alone is no less than a hundred.

Of course, he didn't kill anyone, nor did he drive people to a dead end, but they were all sent to the Northwest, and there was basically no hope of returning.

Through the rectification, there were tangible gains, and Qin Keqing quickly established prestige in the Ning Mansion.

However, I don't know how she is going. The relationship with Rongfu has always been good.

The old lady often praised her face to face, and Mrs. Wang was also very face-saving.

And Feng Lazi's friendship, it's like a fish in water.

Of course, Qin Keqing probably didn't quite know what was going on inside.

Her life in Ning Mansion was quite pleasant.

Qin Keqing naturally knew how rare such a situation was, so when serving Jia Rong and Mrs. Zhao, she could be called doing her best.

After several rounds of rectification, the atmosphere in Ningfu at this time is quite good, and it is no longer the smoky atmosphere of when Jia Zhen was in charge of the house.

Naturally, there would not be much gossip to listen to in the inner courtyard.

Qin Keqing didn't say much about the Ning Mansion, and slowly shifted the topic to the Rong Mansion.

The first thing to talk about is Jia Zhu. His back house is very restless.

Since Chunwei's defeat, Jia Zhu has been depressed for a while.

In addition, he had to cultivate his body, so the courtyard where Jia Zhu lived was quite peaceful at that time.

It doesn't matter if it's not safe, just like Jia Zhu's sick child's posture, no maid would dare to mess around.

If something really happened, Mrs. Wang must skin them.

At that time, Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law Li Wan was found to be pregnant. Such a happy event made Jia Zhu feel much better.

As soon as he was in a good mood, coupled with the powerful prescriptions prepared by Doctor Wang, his body returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, the moth appeared.

Jia Zhu is not an upright gentleman who can sit still. Anyway, under the influence of his old man and the second master of politics, coupled with the so-called romantic spirit of literati, he soon fell into the gentleness of the country again.

Fortunately, he also knows how to cherish his body, and he didn't play too much.

But that's the case, Jia Zhu's body is weak, and he will get sick from time to time.

Mrs. Wang is cruel, she doesn't care about the facts at all, she blames all the faults on her daughter-in-law Li Wan, but whenever Jia Zhu is not in good health, she must be scolded, and her life is quite hard.

Unlike the story of the Red Chamber, Jia Zhu didn't drive west at this time. Although he would suffer from illness from time to time, he was far from finished.

There was no need for Li Wan to swallow all his grievances, he simply fell ill.

This time, Jia Zhu's yard became lively.

The beautiful maid sent by Mrs. Wang is no longer suppressed, and all kinds of moths have not been broken.

Li Wan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he fell ill, he would still take action from time to time to teach those dishonest maids a lesson.

Jia Zhu is in pain and happiness, while enjoying the wonderful taste of tenderness, while suffering from physical ailments.

In addition, Mrs. Wang took the initiative to intervene in the management of Jia Zhu's courtyard, which was a mess.

In short, Jia Zhu showed off her underpants.

What kind of bullshit study seeds, just talk about his current situation, whether he can pass the Jinshi in the next spring high school entrance examination.

For Jia Zhu, Jia Rong didn't have much expectations.

It is best to pass the imperial examination to become an official. Even if you fail the imperial examination, you can still be an official. After all, is he a student of the Imperial College?

However, at a young age, Nima was obsessed with gentleness and couldn't extricate herself, and her determination was not even as good as Lian Er's.

In addition, he is not good at interpersonal communication, even if he becomes an official, he will not be too happy.

The Second Master Zheng may or may not be aware of these situations.

But Jia Zhu's expectations dropped several notches.

Then there is Grand Master She, whose recent performance is really eye-opening.

On weekdays, as always, he is greedy and lustful, and likes to nest in his own territory in the East Courtyard, teasing and playing with the newly bought concubine.

Although the expenditure of Grand Master Xie on this aspect is definitely an astonishing figure.

But one thing is commendable, Mr. Xi basically doesn't mess around outside, and he definitely doesn't try to use force.

It's not as unbearable as the outside world preaches at all, at least Mr. Pardon is much better than those unscrupulous and lawless guys.

At least, he didn't mess around outside, I don't know how much stronger than other arcs in this regard.

These are normal operations, in fact, there is nothing to say.

Grand Master She is just like this in the East Courtyard, whether others like it or not, but his recent performance has made those who are interested in him admire him with admiration.

Since Lian Er entered the Ministry of Household Affairs as a errand, Mr. She came forward many times to protect his reputation and interests.

Especially the frequent hand-to-hand combat with the second room, and the attitude of not being stingy with hobs, really made him often succeed in achieving his goals.

There is no way, whether it is nonsense or normal debate and confrontation, the second master of politics found out sadly that he is not the opponent of his boss.

It was also in this process that Lian Er's interests were fully protected...
