Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 21 Chapter 21
Jia Lian went out immediately. Too often, people are timid because they think too much.

After you actually do it, you will find that all the things you thought would have great consequences are actually just the same thing.

God can't change it.

After all, the Jia Mansion is the Jia Mansion of the Jia family, and it is divided into inner and outer houses. Jia Lian went out in a confident manner.

The spoiled old ladies of the Jia Mansion's concierge never expected such an incident, and they didn't react for a long time.

Until Jia Lian walked away, the three or five women looked at each other.Then they all saw different thoughts in each other's eyes.

Then, watching Jia Lian walk away and disappearing, several people suddenly sat on the ground and began to cry.

"Oh, it's bad, Second Master Lian ran away from home!"

Several people had the same opinion, and there was no need to even discuss it. It seemed that Jia Lian was not the first person to do this.

Do the ladies know that this is their fault?
You know, they are the doorkeepers, how can they stop the master from entering and exiting; just like the property management of the community, how can they prevent the owner from leaving the house.

This door was not originally set up to hinder the owner.

What's more, this is not the kind of employment relationship in modern society, it is the master-servant relationship in feudal society, and servants have a contract of sale.

Although the government would take care of the servant who was beaten to death if they found out about it, the most they could do was pay compensation.That is to say, compensation should be paid to the government.

The servant's death was in vain.

However, people are so weird, they will never admit that they are wrong no matter when or where they are.Even if he is beheaded the next second, if you ask him if he is wrong at this moment, he is still right.

Unless he admits his mistake, he will be spared beheading.

Therefore, intimidation can never scare humans, only sufficient benefits can make people bow their heads.

It just depends on whether this kind of benefit comes at a cost or as a gift.

Therefore, people are never afraid of being beaten, but if they admit their mistakes and relent, they don't need to be beaten. People are rarely tough.

The same is obviously true for several mothers-in-law, even when their status is so different from Jia Lian; even if it is Jia Lian's fault, they are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

In order to shirk their own responsibilities, they did not need anyone to teach them, they just found their own way to survive.

It's not that they didn't care about their errands today, but that the second master Lian was going to run away from home, and they didn't stop him.

"Old sisters, remember, we are not opening the door today to stop the second master who is threatening to run away from home."

While they were crying, they were still carefully colluding with each other to confess.

Anyway, when they started making a fuss, everyone said their own things, as long as they killed them, who knows what will happen at that time.

The ancestors of the Jia family are the most kind-hearted, so they will definitely not make things difficult for them; maybe they will be rewarded if they speak well.

Several women have already fantasized about how to arrange Jia Lian's affairs behind the scenes after this incident has passed.

"This second young master who doesn't want to be seen is really a bit ignorant. A serious second young master has been born, and he still acts like a monster!"

"You deserve not to be favored in this big house!"

And does Jia Lian know what happened next?

I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter; as long as I join the job honestly, everything will be fine from now on.

Even though the Jia family is a wealthy family, the whole family is counting on Jia Zheng, the sixth-grade director of the Ministry of Industry, to save their face.Jia Zheng has been working in this position for more than ten years.

And a department-level cadre has worked for more than ten years without any sign of activity. It seems that as Jia She said, the Jia family cannot produce officials above the fifth rank.

In this life of Jia Zheng, a fifth-grade Yuanwailang has come to an end; if he has already sat in this position and suddenly there are signs of activity, it means that something is going to happen to the Jia family.

Because the next level is the fourth rank. Without the emperor's nod, who would dare to let such an eye-catching family come into the emperor's eyes. But if the Jia family has nothing to do, how can the emperor care about it?

Anyway, if Jia Zheng gets promoted, there must be something going on with the Jia family, but I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Therefore, Jia Lian will never look down upon himself as a low-ranking official from the seventh rank, because there is not much difference between the sixth and seventh ranks, not to mention that Jia Lian has a fifth-rank Tongzhi official.

With the status of a fifth-rank official, it is okay to be a minor official of the seventh rank. If Jia Lian was not Jia Zheng's nephew, in terms of officialdom, Jia Lian would not need to be called a subordinate official with Jia Zheng.

What's more important is that the power in the hands of the two is very different.

At this moment, Jia Zheng is still the head of the Ministry of Works. He sounds very similar to his uncle Zhang Hu, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The rank is also the same, both are the sixth grade.

But Zhang Hu is in charge of business, while Jia Zheng is just one of the two to three hundred directors of the Ministry of Industry. He does not have any projects at hand and is just a freeloader.

If it weren't for his identity as a member of the Duke's Palace, no one would pay attention to him.

But Jia Lian is different. He is the guest secretary of Honglu Temple.Although Honglu Temple is just a department-level yamen, he is the second-in-command of a department, and he is still the second-in-command without a department chief.

Although I don’t know when the section chief will be in place, before the section chief arrives, Jia Lian has the final say in the Secretariat of Honglu Temple.

At most, we can only discuss it with the other three Wuzans.

This is not a hall official, but better than a hall official.

As for who is the main hall and who is the second hall, it depends on the relationship behind the other Wuzans.

And these people are not in a competitive relationship. They are colleagues and can occupy a position at this critical moment. Then the chance of making friends is much greater than the chance of competition.

This may be the big difference between these people who are related to the family and those scholars who came from the orthodox imperial examination.

The relationship between scholars is based on their academic qualifications, their colleagues and teachers, but if there are many people, the relationship will be shallow. It is okay if there is no interest picketing, but if there is such a relationship, it will not be so harmonious.

Belong, cooperate and compete with each other.

But people like Jia Lian who came up through connections are different. There is no competition among them. Who can reach which position depends not on their ability, but on the position that the people behind them need them to take.

Therefore, no matter how hard the position of Secretary and Secretary is vacant, it will be useless no matter how hard they try to sit on it.

Therefore, there is only cooperation and no competition among their colleagues.

In a word, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don’t, you can do it; if you say no, you can’t do it, and if you can do it, you can’t do it.

Thinking of these, Jia Lian's footsteps became more brisk, and there was no performance pressure on him.After joining the job, I got to know more officials and compiled a network of my own.

At that time, it was time for me to buy and sell my official position to exert my strength.

At this moment, Jia Lian is still thinking about his career as an official.

After leaving the back house and going to the main courtyard, the second master did not disturb anyone else, so he took two young men, two long followers, and rode a few horses out.
