Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 111: House confiscation in disguise (please subscribe)

Mr. Jing patted his butt and left with Jia Zhen, the You family, and a group of children, leaving only the core members of Ning Rong's second house who were a little messy in the wind.

This guy really has the heroic demeanor of "killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles"!

Jia Huan admired him a lot. This guy let go whenever he said he wanted to. This kind of mentality was terrifyingly stable.

It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to get in close contact with this person and have a good chat about spiritual practice and the like.

On the day when the Ning family held a family banquet, he made a special observation and found out that there were no clues in Master Jing's walking pace or breathing rhythm, which made him quite disappointed.

Damn, I’ve been watching Xuanzhen for almost 20 years, so I can at least learn something real, right?
As for the power this guy might have hidden in the palace or officialdom, Jia Huan didn't care at all.

If there was no energy, would the 'respect' given today be implemented so quickly?
Just kidding, there are some things that people just don’t think about carefully. It doesn’t mean that they are not aware of them.

In short, without Jia Zhen in the future, the situation in Ning Mansion will definitely be very different from the original work.

There is a high possibility that Qin Keqing will not be forced to commit suicide.

Unless she is out of her mind and must participate in the extremely dangerous battle for the throne.

Now that Jia Rong is the master of the family, even if Qin Keqing has any ideas, he probably won't agree. He doesn't have the courage and ability to participate randomly.

To Jia Huan's surprise, his classmate Jia Qiang suddenly found him.

"I am now in charge of the external affairs of Ning Mansion!"

As she spoke, Jia Qiang's eyebrows were flying and her voice was high-spirited: "Brother Huan, I know you have great ideas in making money, so I want to cooperate with you!"

"How to cooperate?"

Jia Huan became interested and felt that his idea came true.

Not long ago, he was thinking that the Ning Mansion's external affairs were very easy to handle, but it was a pity that he had no chance to intervene.

Only a few days later, the opportunity came to me.

After all, he and Jia Qiang were both classmates in ethnic studies and had known each other for more than a year.

Although it is not clear, Jia Qiang is already sixteen years old, why is he still hanging around in the clan?
This matter has little to do with Jia Huan. Anyway, the Clan Academy will not take the initiative to expel students. Jia Qiang's status is very special. No one said anything even if he stayed until he was twenty.

Most students, when they reach the age of 15, will voluntarily leave their ethnic studies due to various reasons.

If you don't have a thick enough face and have a rogue temperament, it's quite difficult to live for free in Clan Academy until you reach adulthood.

Unexpectedly, this guy got the power to manage the foreign affairs of Ning Mansion without saying a word!

It can only be said that the relationship between Jia Qiang and Jia Rong, the current head of the Ning Mansion, is really not just an exaggeration.

This may also be related to Qin Keqing's lack of powerful relatives. As for the manpower behind the scenes, it is difficult to show it to the public, so Jia Qiang was advantaged.

No matter what, this is a pretty good opportunity!

The resources of Ning Mansion are no joke.Even if it's just external resources, as long as you handle them well, they will be astonishing benefits like gold and silver.

Jia Qiang's eyes were picturesque, but her tone was quite high-spirited: "Over there at the Xiaowu Hall, Brother Huan, didn't you always talk about the grain trade? I want to cooperate with you!"

"I just don't know. What's the secret here?"

This kid is still a caring person!

Jia Huan didn't play any tricks and said directly: "It depends on how much grain is stored in Zhuangzi outside Ning Mansion. No matter how you make money, it is certain!"

"If you operate it well, it can range from tens of thousands to 10,000+ taels, which is no problem!"

"No matter how much it is, it's not impossible, but with the strength of Ning Mansion at this time, it will be quite difficult to make money, and you may even get slapped!"

“It’s already quite good to earn tens of thousands of taels, or even 10,000+ taels!”

Jia Qiang's beautiful eyes twinkled brightly and she chuckled, "Then we'll make it a deal!"

"It's not that simple!"

Waving his hand, Jia Huan chuckled and said, "It's better to kick away any possible obstacles first!"

"You mean, Butler Lai?"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly and quickly reacted: "I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

Otherwise, it's easy to talk to smart people.If he has an idea, he can easily guess it later without having to waste any words.

"It's a simple thing!"

Jia Huan smiled so calmly and said leisurely: "Isn't he a confidant of Brother Zhen? Then let him go to the village outside the city and take good care of and serve Brother Zhen. Is it possible that he still dares to have any objections?"

Speaking of which, he grinned, revealing two neat rows of white teeth.

Damn it, you didn't take the opportunity to ransack your home, it was already a great honor.

If Laiji dares to hesitate, or thinks of a way not to go, hehe, Jia Rong just wants to express his 'filial piety', and he will never agree.Jia Qiang reacted in a blink of an eye, pointed at Jia Huan and chuckled: "Brother Huan, you are so shady!"

"Haha, what do you want me to do with someone like Raiji?"

Jia Huan curled his lips to show disdain and said coldly: "It's already a great honor to treat them like this!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "There is no basis for what you say, let me see your ability first before you speak!"

"Whether it's the East Mansion or the West Mansion, all the sons are very arrogant and greedy!"

"Let's put it this way, if you can't scare them and make them afraid to reach out easily, then no matter how much you earn, most of it will go into their pockets, and all that will be left behind will be small heads!"

"So Brother Qiang, behave well and let me see what you are capable of, otherwise nothing will happen!"

Jia Qiang nodded to show that she understood, without being too entangled, and was an understanding person with an open heart.

Within two days, news came from the Ning Mansion. The new head of the house, Jia Rong, was the first to burn the head of the house, Lai Er, and asked him to go to the village outside the city to serve Mr. Zhen!

Of course Lai Er wouldn't agree. Isn't it good to be the master of the Ning Mansion? With the former master's status as a confidant, he might even have a chance to figure out the new master.

Besides, how could the quality of life in the capital be comparable to that in Zhuangzi outside the city?

The most important thing is that Jia Zhen's temper is not very good, and it will become even worse after being paralyzed.

It’s Laiji who scolds and hits whenever he wants, without being polite at all.

If you go to Jia Zhen's side to serve you, you will get a lot of benefits but no disadvantages. Only a fool would do such a thing.

In order not to go out of the city to live a hard life, Lai Er even invited his old lady to talk to the old lady, hoping that he could continue to stay and work hard for the Ning Mansion.

The old lady was also confused. She thought that the juniors from the Ning Mansion were just like the juniors from the Rong Mansion. She would take whatever she said and did not dare to refute it at all.

He directly called Qin Keqing to the Rong Mansion and gave him these instructions, asking Qin Keqing to send a message to Jia Rong. The Ning Mansion had just stabilized, so there was no need to mess around.

In the end, it had the opposite effect. Jia Rong was a little hesitant at first, but the old lady intervened and gave the order in an arrogant manner. He was not happy.

Is it possible that he, the head of the Ning Mansion, is just a paper decoration?

If this becomes the first thing the head of the family does, and it cannot be done because of the old lady, what kind of prestige will it have in the future? The family in the house will not be able to go to heaven if they have children?
In addition, the old lady's behavior reminded Jia Rong of many unpleasant memories from the past.

When Jia Zhen was in charge, some respectable families in the Ning Mansion gave birth to children, which embarrassed him as the heir.

Things are changing now. If he doesn't react violently, wouldn't he be looked down upon by these guys?

Not only Jia Rong was interested, but Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang were also whispering something in their ears.

Then, Laiji and his family were forcibly sent to Zhuangzi outside the city.Jia Rong even said that Lai Er would not be allowed to enter the city without his permission, otherwise he would be beaten to death!

It is said that there was a lot of crying in Lai Er's house that day, and when Grandma Lai found out about it, she almost fainted from anger.

What was most difficult for the Lai family to accept was that Lai Er's house outside, as well as the property and maids and servants inside, were all taken over by the Ning Mansion.

This incident quite aroused the sensitive nerves of the Lai family, and it spread to the entire powerful Ning Rong second house manager.

There was no way, even though Jia Rong didn't raid Lai Er's house this time.But taking over Laiji's house with force is no different from ransacking the house. Is it possible that Laiji can still get it back?
After Jia Qiang was ordered to carefully inventory the value of the property in Lai Er's house, she sent Jia Rong an astonishing list, with the total value reaching an astonishing 45 taels!

Jia Rong was shocked when she saw this detailed list of belongings.

Although he knew that Laiji must have made a lot of money from poaching the Ning Mansion, but approaching 50 taels of silver in one go, it was really hard for him to accept.

How long does it take?

It must have been just over ten years since Lai Er became the chief manager of the Ning Mansion!

When Jia Zhen first inherited the Ning Mansion, she didn't dare to make too many mistakes. The chief butler she used was the old man left by her father, Master Jing.

It wasn't until later that he probed out Mr. Jing's thoughts and completely took control of the Ning Mansion, and then began to appoint his confidants. At that time, Laiji had not yet fully ascended to power.

After all, Lai Er was not born into the Ning family, but was recommended by the old lady next door.

That is to say, Jia Zhen loved to play and make trouble, so Lai Er worked hard to please her. It took him several years to gain Jia Zhen's trust, and then he was promoted to the position of housekeeper.

But no one expected that this guy would make so much money in such a short period of time!

It can be said that he is bold and skillful in amassing money. If he investigates carefully, he will find that the oil and water from Ning Mansion is about 30 taels.

The rest of the money was obtained by Lai Er through various means of coercion and inducement, using the power of the Ning Mansion to plunder and obtain ill-gotten wealth.

Now that everything has fallen into Jia Rong's hands, it is naturally impossible to spit it out again.

Jia Rong is also interesting. He is not strong-willed and can't stand the pressure exerted by the old lady, so he simply gave this list of belongings to the old lady.

Then the old lady shut up.

The figure of 45 taels of silver was a quite shocking amount of wealth even for an old lady who was used to seeing big storms.Her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the Lai family.
