Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 695 The Wonderful Rong Mansion

With the help of Grand Master She in the back to deal with the possible troubles of the Rong Mansion, Lian Er was able to work in the yamen of the Ministry of Households without distraction.

Even if it is just a small official of the seventh or eighth rank, as the powerful department in charge of money, food, household registration and tax collection among the six ministries, it is still very busy every day.

It has to be said that Lian Er is really talented in money and food management, as well as human relations. Not only did he gain a foothold in the household department office very quickly, but he also gained the attention of his superiors.

There is no way, what the yamen of the Ministry of Households needs is people who can really do things, in fact, it is no different from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Moreover, yamen affairs still have a certain degree of professionalism.

If you don't know anything about account books, money, grain and household registration management, you will have no way to do things even if you want to.

Seeing that Lian Er was living like a fish in water in the yamen of the household department, his future was quite bright.

According to Jia Rong, at least there will be no hindrances until the fifth-rank doctor is selected, unless Lian Er himself fails to live up to expectations and is taken down midway due to an accident.

Compared with Lian Er, who had a prosperous life in the yamen, the official career of the second master Zheng was as ordinary as ever.

The Taichang Temple is really a place to raise idle officials.

Even for large-scale palace banquets or sacrifices, departments with overlapping functions are also used to help share the processing, and you can have as much free time as you want.

In other words, the Second Master Zheng is actually quite leisurely.

He didn't have any practical ability, and he wished he could just sit in the yamen and do nothing all day long.

Putting it in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is definitely a move to attract people's eyes, and it is the norm here in Taichang Temple.

In short, the Second Master Zheng has adapted well, and even his spirit has been boosted a lot.

It was heard that he was quite satisfied with his state at this time, so he was naturally quite unhappy with the old and fierce Prince Teng.

If Wang Ziteng didn't know how many idle yamen the court had, no fool would believe it.

But this guy, he just didn't think about helping the second political master to mobilize him.

In the end, it was the clan's contribution that allowed him to live a leisurely official life. How could it be possible if there was no resentment in his heart?

After all, Mr. Zheng Er has been sitting on the bench in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry for almost 20 years.

If he had been transferred to the idle yamen as an errand early on, he might be able to reach the ranks of fourth-rank or even third-rank high-ranking officials at this time.

If he really became a third-rank official, even if he was the chief official of the leisurely yamen, with the identity of the head of the Rong Mansion, his deterrent power would not be comparable to that at present.

Because of this matter, Mrs. Wang has suffered a lot from the second master of politics.

It is heard that Mrs. Wang is quite dissatisfied with her elder brother Wang Ziteng.

If the Second Master Zheng lost his temper at her for no reason, she would naturally not be convinced.

But the problem is that the second master of politics is not good at speaking and telling the truth, but when Jia Rong was in the ancestral hall meeting, Jia Rong explained the truth very clearly.

Mrs. Wang may not have heard it, but her confidants will definitely not fail to hear it.

Then, Mrs. Wang must also be able to know through the report.

The situation in Rong Mansion's inner house can be said to be quite strange.

As a detached existence in the mansion, Mother Jia naturally needless to say.

By borrowing it, in terms of her status outside, as the successor of Mr. She, Mrs. Xing has the official status of Mrs. Xing.

As for Mrs. Wang, who is the wife of the family, she has only a mere fifth-rank pleasant official status, so she can't do anything at all.

This is also the main reason why Mrs. Wang likes to stay in the mansion and is unwilling to go out to socialize.

Once they go out, the wives reveal their identities, and Mrs. Wang is often the bottom one. How could she stand it after a long time?
It can be said that despite the fact that the Second Master Zheng himself is an official fan, Mrs. Wang actually cares most about the official rank of the Second Master Zheng.

If it was possible, how could Mrs. Wang not want to go out to socialize?
Is it really fun to stay in the mansion for many years?

As a result, her elder brother, who she regarded as the most reliable, actually played tricks behind the scenes to prevent the second political master from taking the road of promotion in the Qing County Yamen.

That is to say, at this time Wang Ziteng has dragged his family to work in other places, otherwise Mrs. Wang would have to go back to Wang's house to make a fuss a few times.

Judging from the fact that the second master of politics was transferred to the idle yamen, she was easily transferred to a higher rank. If she had been transferred early, she might not be lower than the fourth rank at this time.

These are the essence extracted by Qin Keqing from the sieve-like information of Rong Mansion.

Right now, it is rare for Jia Rong to return home early, so Qin Keqing will naturally take the opportunity to talk about it.

Some things are not good to say to Mrs. Zhao, and it is not good to talk to You Shi.

After all, Qin Keqing's seniority is there, whether it is Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, or the grown-up men in Rongfu are all elders.

There is still a certain risk in gossiping about them.

Talking to Jia Rong is fine. With Qin Keqing's shrewdness, how could she fail to see that her husband Jia Rong is interested in revitalizing the Jia family in the capital, and he must be interested in some things in Rongfu.

After all, there is a presence like Mother Jia in the Rong Mansion, and there are two officials working in the Yamen, so their potential cannot be underestimated.

Of course, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew are not easy-going lamps.

If it is said that other members of the Rong Mansion are living step by step, Wang Xifeng is definitely the one who lives the most tiring life and is also the most busy.

Mrs. Wang did not hand over the authority of the inner house, but handed over to Wang Xifeng the authority to handle chores.

As for the most important key to the warehouse, it is still firmly in the hands of Mrs. Wang.

In other words, as long as there is a certain amount of money and material expenditures, Mrs. Wang must nod and agree.

Wang Xifeng was caught in the struggle with those treacherous families in the mansion to have children.

A child born in Rongfu's family is definitely synonymous with arrogance.

There is no way, not to mention that after almost a hundred years of reproduction, the intertwined relationship between the family and the children is very complicated. It can be said that pulling out the radish will bring out the mud.

It's just that Jia's mother has been indulging for decades, and all the famous and respectable families in the mansion have children, all of them are extremely aggressive and violent.

It is not an ordinary difficulty for Wang Xifeng to control and manage the internal affairs of the back house.

Casually causing a small wave, may touch the cake of a family with a child.

Not to mention Wang Xifeng, even with the support of Mrs. Zhao, Youshi and Jia Rong, Qin Keqing took about three months to completely control the chores of the inner courtyard.

These are just chores in the mansion, and things outside will only get more messy.

Wang Xifeng only had the verbal support of Mrs. Wang, and Lian Er was so focused on the yamen of the household department that he couldn't take care of it at all.

It is conceivable that in order to be able to firmly control the power assigned by Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng fought fiercely with the wife in charge of the family's son.

She only has the name of a housekeeper, and the deeds of selling the children of the family are all in the hands of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and she can't do it even if she wants to drive them away.

Wanting to use tough tactics, he ran to the door of the old lady's Rongqing Hall and cried. The old lady upheld the so-called charity, so Wang Xifeng had to give up.

The worst thing for Wang Xifeng is that the money in the public house is about to run out.

However, no matter if it is the old lady or Mrs. Wang, or Mr. Amnesty and Mr. Zheng Er, all expenses are indispensable.

That is to say, Lian Er knew the situation in the public house, and he had extra income, so he basically never took money from the public house, but even so, he couldn't last long.

Even though Lian Er had warned her in advance, Wang Xifeng still felt her scalp tingling.

Originally, the couple had already discussed it. The public house is the public house, and Wang Xifeng would never take money from her own family to fill the hole in the public house.

It's a pity that Wang Xifeng completely abandoned the previous decision because he didn't know if it was because of power, wanting to be charming, or because of other considerations.

Perhaps it was to show off her own means, or to use this to completely control the power of the Rongfu inner house. In short, Wang Xifeng embarked on the old road of the story of the Red Mansion.

She began to use money from her dowry to subsidize public expenses.

Wang Xifeng didn't discuss this matter with Lian Er, but quietly told Qin Keqing, which can be regarded as a kind of complaint to vent her unhappiness.

Qin Keqing was quite surprised when she heard the news, she never thought that Wang Xifeng would choose to do such a thing.

It can be said that she did not gain any practical benefits except for a better reputation on the surface.

It's not that she didn't persuade her, but it's a pity that Wang Xifeng didn't listen at all.

Perhaps, what Wang Xifeng wanted was to look good, and he didn't care about anything else.

Qin Keqing told Jia Rong all these secret information.

I also hope that Jia Rong can say hello to Lian Er in advance, so as not to expose Lian Er's dissatisfaction in the future.

The current Lian Er has a pretty good future.

As a good best friend and sister, Qin Keqing still hopes that Wang Xifeng's life will get better and better, but she doesn't want any changes in her marriage.

"Suffer to face and suffer!"

This is Jia Rong's evaluation of Wang Xifeng's move.

"Hearing what you said, could it be that the West Mansion didn't hand over the management rights of the farm and the shops in the city to Aunt Feng?"

Based on the friendship between Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, if they both have relevant authority, how could there be no private communication?

Once Wang Xifeng heard about Qin Keqing's rectification methods, it was impossible for him to be indifferent.

Nima, think about the story of the Red Mansion, the many farms in Rongfu are like the origin of disasters, one disaster or another disaster year after year, it is simply inexplicable.

You know, the property of the Duke is the legacy left by the first Duke and the second generation of the two families.

With the power and status of the first generation of the Duke and the second generation of the head of the family, the farms that were deliberately left behind are all first-class fertile fields, and they are all in good locations.

How could it be possible that the disasters year after year were not fooled by the farm stewards below?

With Wang Xifeng's temper, how could he stand being fooled by his servants?

The only explanation is that the property and store management rights of Rongfu Gongzhong did not fall into her hands at all.

Sure enough, Qin Keqing shook her head and said puzzledly: "I don't know what's going on, Rongfu didn't hand over these management rights to Feng Lazi, it's not easy to intervene..."
