Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 158

Shan Ziye's expression shows that this is not common.

But Feng Yibo was not too surprised when he heard that Lai Da's son was an official.

It's nothing more than donating an official position, and it's not like he hasn't done it.

Gouzi and Mengzi both donated to officials at the beginning.

Even transferred to a real job!

Before donating an official, you have to leave your nationality.

So this news can only show that Lai Da's son got out of slavery.

As for the official status, it is likely to be the same as Gouzi at that time.

It is the grace given by the Jia family.

Or he needs to have an identity, easy to handle things and so on.

Of course, Feng Yibo was not surprised that the Lai family's son was an official, but he was surprised that the Lai family could build such a large mansion in the inner city.

Still have some emotion.

Because from this incident, Feng Yibo also thought of some other things.

I saw it in Jia's mansion before, except for the sons and grandsons of Ningrong and Rongfu.

That is, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Lian, and Jia Lan.

The rest, even if they are the decent great-great-grandsons of the grass-roots generation.

Seeing that Lai family brother, everyone should respectfully call out "Grandpa Lai"!
At that time, I didn't feel anything, I thought it was the same as Chen Bo in my family.

It's a sign of closeness.

But thinking about it now, there is a clear difference.

Because Chen Bo was called by everyone, including himself.

As for the brothers of the Lai family, the masters of Ningrong and Rongfu still call them by their first names.

As such, there is only one explanation.

That is.

The two brothers of the Lai family have held the position of stewards of Ningrong and Rongfu for a long time.
Now the power in Jia's mansion is only half a chip behind the decent master.

Even surpassed the decent great-great-grandson of Biefang.

This is somewhat of a master-servant reversal.

Of course, Feng Yibo can't control other family's affairs.

But from here to there, he thought in his heart.

Should it be taken as a warning?

But thinking about it again, I don't think it's necessary.

As long as he is still there, he can suppress everything in the mansion.

And as he joked earlier:
Best at accounts.

It won't be full of confused accounts like Jia's house.

As for after he is gone, it depends on the ability of the descendants themselves.

If it is like the Jia Mansion, there will be a bunch of waste.

So what if he is as capable as the Second Master Ning Rong, and can manage the affairs behind him?
After the design of the mansion here was finalized, Feng Yibo handed over the matter to Chen Bo.

On the other side of Rongfu, although Shan Ziye has planned its system.

Saved a lot of money.

But it is still inevitable that Gongzhong will be manipulated.

Inside, there are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, the Lai family brothers, and all the men who are doing business, Qing Ke, domestic servants and so on.

Everyone has a share.

Of course, Wang Xifeng, who usually presides over the overall situation, is also indispensable.

But she can't interfere much in this matter.

Just relying on Jia Lian's favor, he placed it in a few places.

It seems that Jia Yun and Zhao Mama begged her.

In order not to lose her reputation in the past, she was arranged to go out no matter what.

She is such a forceful and face-to-face personality.

This side is controlled by the men, so it's not easy to intervene.

But Wang Xifeng did not lose money during this period.

Because she has a new way to make money.

In addition to the original ones, they will be released with the monthly money in the mansion.

Charge some interest.

At the time of Qin's funeral last time.

She also got another method to help people "eliminate disasters and solve difficulties" from the old nun Jingxu of Shuiyue Temple.

Of course, it is not with the Buddhadharma.

Instead, they rely on the power of the Jia family.

In the name of Jia Lian, he has done many "good things".

It turned out that at the funeral that day, she took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to rest at Shuiyue Nunnery.

Baoyu only cares about Qin Zhong, and Qin Zhong only cares about intelligence.

The old nun Jingxu asked Wang Xifeng with the attitude of giving it a try.

It turns out that this quiet space is in the back houses of many people in the capital, and they move around.

Occasionally, he also acts as a broker, helping people match up.

If it can be done, it will naturally benefit from her.

The reason why Wang Xifeng was asked this time was a coincidence.

When she became a monk, she was in Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County.

There I met a rich man named Zhang.

That rich man has a daughter named Brother Jin.

One day when he was offering incense, he happened to be seen by the son-in-law of the Grand Master of Chang'an Mansion, Mr. Li's family.

It was right then.

But this piece of Miss Jin Ge has already been promised to the son who was the former guard of Chang'an.

The original Chang'an garrison was a member of the old party and was implicated in the party struggle not long ago.

Stay on leave.

Unexpectedly, there was no news of recovery.

Instead, he was bullied.

Seeing that he was losing power, the Zhang family thought it would be better to take the opportunity to join the Li family.

The defenders won the letter, so naturally they refused to lose face.

Not only did his family not withdraw the ceremony, but they also wanted to make things worse.

A lawsuit was filed with the Zhang family.

If this matter breaks out, the Zhang family will be wronged.

So he looked for ways everywhere, trying to suppress the matter.

Knowing that Jingxu knew a lot of people, he begged her.

Although Jingxu is an old nun, she is familiar with every family in the capital.

I know that Chang'an Jiedu Yunguang has an old relationship with Jia's family.

So when I met Wang Xifeng today, I asked for help.

Want to take a chance.

Even if it doesn't work, she can't lose anything.

Jingxu begged for help, not saying that he was looking for Wang Xifeng.

He just asked her to pass it on to Mrs. Wang and asked Jia Zheng to write a letter.

This is naturally an excuse, and of course Wang Xifeng would not respond.

How could she cause trouble for Mrs. Wang?

Immediately evaded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my wife doesn't care about these things."

Jingxu naturally knew that Mrs. Wang would not respond to this matter, so the target was Wang Xifeng.

Immediately, he tentatively said: "Since the matter is not serious, if the wife doesn't care, then grandma can claim it?"

Wang Xifeng smiled when he heard the words, but still evaded and said:
"I don't wait for money, and I don't do such things."

Jingxu listened, pretending to be disappointed on the face.

After a while, he sighed and said:

"That said, it's just that the Zhang family already knows that they have asked the mansion."

Jingxu often walks around Jia's mansion, so she naturally understands Wang Xifeng's temperament.

It was all an excuse before, but now Fang is her means.

Immediately, he looked disappointed and continued:
"It doesn't matter now, the Zhang family doesn't say they don't have time, and they don't want to thank him, it seems that the house doesn't even have such an idea."

This is pinpointing Wang Xifeng's pulse, knowing that she has always been strong-tempered and the most face-saving person.

You must not hear such words.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Xifeng sneered and said:

"You know me all the time, and you never believe in retribution from hell."

This means there is something in the words, and it is telling Jingxu.

She knew it was not a good thing.

Knowing that Jingxu came to look for her, she didn't have good intentions!

He also knows that tearing apart a person's marriage will lead to retribution in the hell of the underworld.

"Whatever it is, I said I can do it."

After talking about it, Jingxu still seized the pulse door.

But she was not stupid enough to agree for nothing when she was provoked.

"You tell him to bring 3000 taels of silver, and I'll take the blame for him."

In Wang Xifeng's mind, this is not a big deal.

3000 taels is already the lion's big mouth.

But I don't know that the rich man is not short of money.

I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined first, and then I won't be able to climb high.

After hearing this, Jingxu immediately showed joy, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes."

He let out a long breath, and said: "This is not difficult."

"I can't compare to their money-grabbing efforts."

When Wang Xifeng heard the words, he knew that he was going to be short, so he began to pull back, saying:
"These 3000 taels of silver are just a bag for the boys who are sent away to make him a few hard-earned money. I don't want any money."

Having said that, he added with a look of disdain:
"It's 3 taels, I can still take it out now."

Hearing it quietly, he knew that he had just made a slip of the tongue.

Immediately, he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would really want 3 taels, so he hurriedly said:

"Since that's the case, grandma will show mercy tomorrow."

"Look at how busy I am, which part is missing me?"

Wang Xifeng regretted it, and asked for more.

But after all, he couldn't hold back his face, and finally said:

"Since I agreed, I will naturally finish it for you."

Jingxu also saw her dissatisfaction, and quickly patted:

"It's someone else's job to do with this idea, so I don't know how busy I am."

"But if you put it in front of grandma, and add some more, it's not enough for grandma to do it all at once!"

Seeing the corners of Wang Xifeng's mouth curled up slightly, she knew that the shot was in the right place, and continued:
"As the saying goes: 'He who can do more work'."

"Seeing that grandma is so talented, my wife pushed it all the more to grandma. It's just that grandma should take care of her body."

Along the way, Jingxu kept flattering Wang Xifeng.

In the past, Xifeng took care of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang with carelessness.

Others in the house are either afraid of her or stay away from her.

Has anyone ever flattered like this?
So regardless of physical fatigue, he started talking with Jingxu.

It is more and more useful to be photographed.

On the same day, Lai Wang'er was sent into the city to find the master's husband.

In the name of Jia Lian, he repaired a book.

Send it to Chang'an Jiedu Yunguang overnight.

Yun Guang was also from a noble family, and his ancestors obeyed orders under Rong Guogong's account.

Later, although the Yun and Jia families had no in-laws, they kept moving around.

Now it can be regarded as one of the backbone of the noble party.

Chang'an Mansion is under his rule, and he knows and heard about this matter.

Originally, it had nothing to do with him and did not intervene.

Now I have received a "letter from Jia Lian" from the head of the main house of the Rongguo Mansion.

Is there any reason not to allow some trivial things to him?
Immediately gave a reply, and relying on the power of Jia's family, he beat the defender's family.

Jingxu told Zhang's family about this, and she could withdraw the marriage.

The guard also lost his temper after being beaten by Yun Guang.

He still has to wait for the recovery, if he offends the four princes and eight princes again.

Then there is no chance.

At the moment, he can only swallow his anger and withdraw the dowry.

Unexpectedly.

Parents who love power and are greedy for money, but raised a daughter who is knowledgeable and affectionate.

Hearing this, he resigned from his ex-husband and promised Li Men another.

Miss Jin of the Zhang family quietly found herself with a sweat towel.

The son of the guard is also a kind of love.

Hearing that brother Zhang Jin hanged himself, he also threw himself into the river and died.

They are just like Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi.

One "hangs itself on the southeast branch", and the other "raises itself to the Qingchi".

Poor Zhang and Li's family is also boring, and they end up with "no money and no money".

Only Wang Xifeng enjoyed 3000 taels.

After this matter is done, that Jingxu will get an advantage.

He often arranged some lawsuits and sent them to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng did it a few times, and his courage grew stronger and stronger.

He also accumulated a lot of floating wealth.

Especially after the concubine was conferred in Yuanchun, the Jia family became even more powerful.

What Wang Xifeng did, and so on.

There are countless.

Poor Jia Lian is still proud of saving a lot of private money for himself.

But he didn't know that his tricks were almost all over the place.
