Chapter 108 Greed for power and power (please subscribe)

Snapped!
Jia Lian felt a sharp pain in his arm and suddenly woke up from his decadent mood.

"Second Grandma, what are you doing?"

He rubbed the beaten arm with his hand, his tone was a little angry, and his eyes were quite dangerous.

"I still want to ask you, Second Master, what nonsense did you just say?"

Jia Lian's reaction made Wang Xifeng even more angry, and she said angrily: "It's over, it's over, if the old lady hears it, I'll have a good harvest!"

Hey!
If it were normal, when he heard the word "old lady", Jia Lian would definitely restrain his emotions and show respect.

Just now, he ignored Wang Xifeng's threat and suddenly asked: "If the father-in-law runs out of money, has Mistress thought about what to do?"

"What else can I do? Find a way to make money!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled and said disapprovingly: "As long as you are willing, you can still get some money in the house!"

"how to do?"

Jia Lian asked: "Did you secretly sell the antique ornaments in the house?"

"Second Master, what are you talking about?"

Wang Xifeng's face changed drastically, and she said angrily: "I'll use my dowry to supplement the total, how can I do anything that I can't wait for?"

"What's wrong? There's such a sudden commotion?"

Ping'er heard the commotion and hurriedly went into the house to check the situation, and said angrily: "Although we are at home, you two should calm down your anger. Can't you talk properly?"

"Ask my good second master, what nonsense did he just say?"

Wang Xifeng was still furious. Jia Lian's words just now hurt her self-esteem.

Of course, the retort she blurted out was also a temporary solution that she had been thinking about recently.

"Second Master, what's wrong with you? Are you angry at grandma when you come back?"

Ping'er was a little dissatisfied and asked Jia Lian: "Grandma is busy all day long, but it is very hard!"

"Isn't it true that I was wrong?"

Jia Lian also knew that what he just said was a little out of his mind, and he quickly patted his cheek with his hand.

The next moment, his tone changed and he said repeatedly: "My second grandma, you must not be confused!"

Seeing Wang Xifeng's expression changed drastically, he hurriedly waved his hand to let him finish: "Don't use your dowry to supplement the public education. It is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough to fill it!"

Having said this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "If you really have no choice, then go out and exchange the ornaments in the house for money first. Don't make a fool of yourself and end up getting yourself involved!"

This time, it was Wang Xifeng and Heping'er's turn to be surprised, and their eyes changed when they looked at Jia Lian.

After a while, seeing that Jia Lian was serious and not joking, Wang Xifeng frowned slightly and waved Ping'er to go out and watch the door, and not to ask irrelevant people to come near the corner.

When Ping'er went out, she said slowly: "Second Master, what happened? You actually said such things, but you have to be honest and clear!"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly. In order to avoid Wang Xifeng's misjudgment and really do the stupid thing of using his own dowry to supplement the income of the father-in-law, he could only honestly repeat the conversation between him and Jia Huan in detail.

"Okay, it turns out that those village heads secretly gave all the income that belonged to the public to the old lady and the second wife. No wonder they looked confident in front of me!"

Wang Xifeng suddenly slapped the table, and her eyes almost stood up with anger.

The sharp eyes were full of burning anger.

You must know that the output of the eight large farms in Rongfu is one of the most important and stable sources of income for the government.Whether the public school can have a surplus throughout the year depends entirely on whether the output of the eight farms is normal.

Now she knew that the main income of the Bada Grange was taken away by the old lady and the second wife secretly.

The Rongfu Public High School will definitely run into a deficit, and no one will be able to bear it over time.

"Calm down the fire, calm down the fire, does Second Mistress know how I was feeling just now?"

Jia Lian was very calm at this time, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "That's why I reminded the second mistress that it is really not worth it to use your own dowry to supplement the father-in-law's education!"

"Then what if the public school runs out of money?"

"The old lady is not worried about cold salad, so what are you worried about?"

"But Second Master, you are the heir to this mansion, and the entire Rong Mansion will be yours from now on!"

"Does Second Grandma believe this? What was my original state like? Do I look like an heir?"

"Then we can't break the pot, we have to maintain the dignity of the house!"

"As I said, the old lady doesn't care. What do we juniors have to care about?"

"Don't be so angry. If Rong Mansion falls apart, what good will it do to the Second Master?"

"Second Grandma said it nicely. The hole in the palace will only get bigger and bigger. What will you use to fill it?" "There will always be a way!"

"Second Grandma, I told you not to do anything crooked and evil. The old lady and the others didn't say anything, so don't rush to get involved!"

Jia Lian warned: "Those village leaders cannot move, and there cannot be any problems with the monthly regulations in the mansion!"

"Monthly expenses require hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. When will this end?"

"Then we can't just do nothing. Anyway, I won't give up my stewardship so easily!"

Wang Xifeng was very unwilling and directly forced out what was in her heart.

Jia Lian was speechless for a moment, and looked at Wang Xifeng with a trace of unfamiliar inquiry.

The words "stewardship rights" that came out of his mouth explained everything.

Although I knew that my wife liked to exercise power, I didn't expect that she would be so obsessed with her.

He feels like he is really crazy. Can he ignore anything for the so-called stewardship?
If Jia Huan were here, he would definitely say: How insecure do you have to be to firmly hold on to the so-called stewardship?

Seeing Wang Xifeng's firm attitude, Jia Lian didn't say much.

It seemed that the matter stopped there, but in fact both couples had knots in their hearts.

Jia Lian felt that Wang Xifeng was too strong and his mind was confused by the so-called stewardship.

There is no money in the palace, and the stewardship is a hot potato. Apart from causing trouble for himself, what other effect can he have? Is he so powerful?
If you don't have money to issue monthly medical records, what do those families look like when they give birth to children?
The most important thing to do at this time is to get money from the old lady and the second wife. It is best to get the produce of the farm, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

However, Wang Xifeng felt that there was something wrong with Jia Lian's mind. He was obviously the heir to the Rong Mansion, but he had no regard for the future of the manor and was self-destructive. She looked down upon him.

Because she held the power of the housekeeper of Rong Mansion, she was very arrogant at this time and felt that there was nothing she couldn't do.Isn't it just money? It depends on her methods.

But at the same time, I felt bored with the old lady and the second wife!
She was usually kind-hearted and seemed to be very supportive of her housekeeper, but she didn't expect him to be so mean-spirited secretly, which made her really angry.

The matter at the farm is simply a hurdle that cannot be bypassed!

Without the output of the farm, there will be a gap in the public money. At least for the time being, there is no other way to solve it.

According to the methods of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, even if they find other ways to make money, they might end up with the same result as the farm. It makes me feel panicked just thinking about it.

With Wang Xifeng's character, he must have had vicious thoughts, but after thinking about it, he could only give up.

The old lady is not only the old feudal lord in the mansion, but also maintains the core link between the two families in the Rong mansion. The most important thing is that she has the most critical connections in the back house of the Rong mansion.

Personal connections such as the old concubine of the Beijing County Prince, the old concubine of the Nan'an County Prince, and even the old concubine in the palace are all controlled by her, and there is no way for others to take over.

Mr. Zheng, the second master, has the connections that a head of the Rong Mansion should have.

If the Rong Mansion suddenly splits up, Jia Lian may not be able to successfully inherit these connections.

The powerful and influential people outside really only recognize Rongfu as their family members, but the problem is that they have to be familiar with him in advance, at least they have to know each other.

However, in the past, Mr. Zheng never took Jia Lian with him when he went out to socialize.

In other words, the heads of other powerful families in the capital did not know Jia Lian, which was very embarrassing.

In short, even if Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng noticed something was wrong and wanted to make changes, facing the old lady and the second house's decades of management, they would feel a little depressed for a while because they had no idea what to do.

But no matter what, it's better to notice something is wrong than to live in a muddle all the time!
Jia Huan didn't mean to cause trouble to Jia Lian, but it just happened to happen, so he talked too much.

Really, in just half a month, the dividends he shared on the river alone amounted to thousands of taels of silver. You can imagine how amazingly those powerful people earned.

I don’t know how much money the heads of several large farms outside the city have earned in private?

The Jia family hasn't collapsed yet. How many moths have been fed and fattened?
Given the current situation, the busy period of artificial rivers will continue for at least several months.

Don’t forget that the imperial court also needs to put down the White Lotus Rebellion.

At this moment, Dai Quan, the most confidant eunuch around him, the general manager of the Daming Palace, quietly came to the Ning Mansion, which was surrounded by mist and mist, and brought a somewhat inexplicable message.

Today, I am willing to give Ning Mansion some dignity!
As for the dignity, he didn't go into details. He just looked at Jia Zhen's condition and Jia Rong's injury with his own eyes, said a few words of comfort and turned around to leave.

The Ning Mansion had no choice. It was hard for You and Qin Keqing to come forward to entertain them, and Jia Qiang was too young to be trusted.

Although he knew that what Dai Quan brought might be good news, he could only inform Rongfu immediately and ask the old lady of Rongfu for advice.

Jia Zhen's injuries were getting more and more serious at this time, and she was in a comatose state for most of the day. Even when she was awake, she was a little confused, otherwise he would have gotten more information from Dai Quan.

After all, the relationship between this guy and Dai Quan is extraordinary!
As for Jia Rong, who was already able to get out of bed and walk around, he had never followed Jia Zhen to meet Dai Quan before, so how could he have caught the eye of the chief executive?
When the old lady heard the news, she immediately rushed over with Master Pardon to ask what happened.

She is old and mature, and from Dai Quan's attitude and tone, she seems to have guessed something, but she can't guarantee it. Of course, she also has some small thoughts in her heart.

When Jia Huan learned the news, he was taken to Ning Mansion by Master Zheng this time, and the dog-headed military advisor came online again.
