6.12 Recent situation of the Wang family, let’s talk about Jia’s mansion

"Brother Xu, there is no such thing as you. Sister Lin is not worried!" Xue Baochai, who was held in Wei Xu's arms and struggled several times without success, said after punching someone lightly.

In fact, she secretly played a trick. Originally, she is now a concubine, and she should address Wei Xu as "Master", but she deliberately followed Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, who are equal wives.

"Husband, there is nothing to worry about. The Rongguo Mansion is not what it used to be, and Sister Lin is not the orphan who has almost nothing." Qin Keqing also persuaded.

"That can't be relaxed. What I'm worried about is not other aspects, but the old lady of the Jia family. Don't forget that according to the rules, Yu'er is already engaged. There is no problem with communication on weekdays, but it does not include running from Suzhou to the capital." Wei Wei Xu said with a sigh.

"Pfft—Brother Xu, if you really follow the rules, you and we won't be able to meet each other, what do you say now?" Shi Xiangyun, who now pays less and less attention to feudal etiquette, couldn't help laughing.

"No, what I mean is that it's impossible for the old lady in Jia's mansion not to understand these rules, but she still sent the letter in the name of 'Missing', faintly using filial piety to oppress others, obviously she has other motives." Wei Xu explained with a smile.

"Filial piety is greater than the sky, and that old lady has already been classified as a 'renrui', these etiquette rules are not impossible to break, even Master Lin is inconvenient to refuse directly." Qin Keqing said with a smile.

Today's so-called "Rongguo Mansion" has long been the laughing stock of the entire capital. Although what happened can be brazenly classified as "inner court secrets" in name, but thanks to those servants of Jia's mansion, the entire capital now knows about it.

At present, Jia Lian, the successor of Rongguo Mansion, is still serving as the magistrate of Tongzhou, and everyone knows that as long as Jia's mother survives, he will never go back; if Jia's mother dies, the second room will probably be arranged together.

The Xungui lineage is not stupid, and they will definitely not be those who are "insiders" in the mansion. After all, there is only a difference between zero and countless times of betrayal. Except for extremely special circumstances, there is no "forgiveness" in this kind of struggle. " said.

The reason why he didn't directly kill this group of people is because it was Jia's family business after all. If Jia Lian didn't do it, it's not easy for outsiders to intervene, but there really shouldn't be too much suppression.

"Master, now Wang Ziteng, who has become the 'Jade Pillar of the Sky' in the Rongguo Mansion just like the original book, is living a life that cannot be described as 'painful', but is almost unbearable." The intelligence chief Saeko Busujima said.

"Oh?" Wei Xu was also a little interested in this big hollow radish, "How painful is it?"

"Politicians, status is nothing more than two parts, one is real power, and the other is status before the emperor." Saeko Busujima said with a smile, "Let's talk about real power first.

The so-called "Jingdu envoy of the Beijing camp" that was ignored by the commanders of the three major battalions has long since lost its meaning. It is not that he is "impeded by government orders", but that he can't even enter the big camp.

The Jingying Jiedushi has his own official office in the capital, but the army cannot enter the city. He only has less than a hundred personal soldiers in the official office, and no matter which one of the three major battalions these people go to, they will be blocked outside the door.

Even if he came forward in person, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and Feng Tang didn't give him any face. They just walked through the reception procedure at the gate of Daying and ignored him under the pretext of 'busy business'. "

"Sister Xizi, is uncle already like this?" Xue Baochai asked a little bit impatiently.

Now that she has been accepted, Wei Xu also instilled the original "Dream of Red Mansions" into her, which of course included a lot of information, which improved Xue Baochai's vision and mood a lot.

He is not worried about leaks, because the only people who have read the "original work" are Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai. These people are theoretically "fairies descending to earth".

Then Wei Xu gave them a comprehensive explanation of the so-called "return" and the things they need to face. None of them wanted their soul memories to be erased and become a so-called "fairy" again.

This is also the biggest motivation for them to practice hard. Only when they are strong enough can they resist the impact of "past life", especially the recent "memory awakening" problem, which further strengthens their sense of belonging.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Even Saeko Busushima felt a little sympathetic, "In the court, the status of Prince Teng, who has basically lost his value, with Emperor Yongzheng has also dropped again and again.

Now he no longer even has the right to "specialize in memorial affairs", let alone beg to see the emperor in private, and even Dai Quan has to give money in advance to see Dai Quan on weekdays, and he may not be able to see him.

According to our intelligence, he is likely to take up the post of "inspection of the nine provinces" in advance, and be sent to inspect the important towns in the nine borders to clean up and check the financial affairs of the soldiers.

The problem is that the border towns are basically dominated by Wu Xun's lineage. Each family regards these as their own vegetable gardens and will not allow outsiders to intervene, let alone him who has been regarded as a traitor.

If Wang Ziteng intends to regain the holy family, if he really wants to do something, he is afraid that he will have to face the ending of the original book in advance. "Is that so?" "Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Xu, I want to give uncle a warning. After all, he is a relative, so let's give him the last chance. "

She doesn't have much affection for the Wang family, and there is never any record of her interacting with the Wang family in the original book. Aunt Xue chose Mrs. Wang as her elder sister instead of returning to her natal family when she sought refuge in Beijing, which explains a lot of problems in itself.

"Sister Bao, I'm afraid you've been busy for nothing." Saeko Busujima shrugged and said, "Our arrangements in the capital are not aimed at the Wang family, because they are of little value, but there are still some basic monitoring.

Now the Wang family has no successors, only one Wang Ren, but he can't even participate in the basic scenes. According to our statistics, he has never received an invitation to the party of the younger generation of the four kings and eight males.

Wang Ziteng himself has gone crazy begging for doors during this period of time, but so far no one is willing to accept it, and Wu Xun didn't even let him in.

Only Mrs. Wang hasn't seen the problem yet, she has been sending money secretly for a while. According to our intelligence analysis in Rongguo Mansion, she may have started to move the old treasury of Jia Mansion for the money. "

"This—" Even Baozhu, the servant girl, realized the problem, "I'm afraid life in Rongguo Mansion is not easy now, she is poaching Jia's corner by doing this!"

"It's not just difficult. What Mrs. Wang did is not just digging the wall, it's basically digging the grave of the ancestors." Shi Xiangyun said coolly, her impression of Mrs. Wang has never been better.

In the original book, when she entered Jia's house at the beginning, she actually had "childhood sweetheart" arrangements, but Mrs. Wang never took it seriously. Later, with the arrival of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, her status also declined.

This can be seen from her several conflicts with Lin Daiyu in the early stage. The two still had an obvious "competitive" relationship at the time, but this smart girl later realized her "spare tire" status and finally gave up.

Nowadays, she definitely won't have such thoughts anymore, but the more she knows about Jia's mansion, the more disgusted she is, including the historians, so much so that she doesn't even go back for Chinese New Year now.

This is a serious insult to the family in feudal society, and it will even bring down the reputation of the entire historian woman, but with Shi Xiangyun's current knowledge, she really doesn't care about these things.

"The annual source of income of Rongguo Mansion mainly depends on the land in the owner's house, plus businesses and shops in the capital and other places, as well as gray income such as the filial piety of some officials below.
Originally these add up to nearly 10 taels per year, but now that the family has actually been separated, the income of the capital is not just a simple decline, but an avalanche.

According to our information, at present, all the Zhuangzi in Jia's mansion send their harvest directly to Jia Lian in Tongzhou. The only part that Rongguo Mansion can get is the surrounding area of ​​the capital.

Even the shops in the capital, most of them were actually sent to Tongzhou, because according to the rules, most of the family property was hung under the name of the successor, that is, it originally belonged to Jia She, but now it belongs to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't fight for these shops, but the income of Jia's mansion in the capital had been reduced to less than [-]% of what it used to be, and the rest was in Jia Lian's hands. This income was not even enough to maintain the daily expenses of Rongguo Mansion.

Not only that, the second master Lian, who became an official and gained knowledge, took advantage of the relationship of the nobles to clean up those village heads and stewards. His current income is even higher than that of the previous Jia family.

After losing so much money, even the Ningguo Mansion took the opportunity to cut off the offerings, but the Rongguo Mansion still had to support considerable consumption, such as Jia Yuanchun who was becoming less and less present in the palace, or Mrs. Wang who secretly poached the wall.

In order to save money, the old lady in Jia's mansion has laid off her servants several times, and many famous maids have been released. In this way, she still needs to use her own money to make up for it, let alone Mrs. Wang. Saeko Busujima continued to introduce.

"In this case, sister Lin may have a lot of problems when she enters Beijing this time." Wei Xu frowned, "After all, everyone in the world knows that it is impossible for the inspector to inspect salt and censor without money."

"Then we can only bring more people to prepare." Qin Keqing continued, "With my younger sister's strength, it shouldn't matter if that old lady is a bit tricky."

"That's good, Yun'er will follow, and the two of them will go back together so that they can be taken care of. Don't you still want to get the status of a female general? This time we will do it together, and I will contact the capital for assistance.

When the time comes, the two of you will have one civil and one martial arts, plus you have different identities now, and I will arrange some more people, plus the strength to stay in the capital, I think there will be no trouble. "Wei Xu finally said.

"Alright, I should go back and have a look, and I'll do what I have to do by the way." Shi Xiangyun nodded, "I just have to work hard for Sister Saeko."

"Sister Yun, don't worry." Saeko Busushima smiled and nodded slightly.

PS: Some readers have questioned that "girls who are engaged can no longer enter Jia's house", the author Jun will explain here.
