"I understand that the old lady has her own ideas!"

Here, Jia Lian came over to talk to Jia Huan, and Jia Huan was not surprised by this.

I am used to being aloof, and suddenly I find that my concubine and grandson, who I didn't care about before, have become prosperous, but they don't blame me. How can I feel better?

"Brother Cong, do you really not plan to go back to the house and pay homage to the old lady?"

Although she felt a little embarrassed, Jia Lian still asked: "The old lady is quite concerned about this!"

"Brother Cong has already asked the elder!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "The eldest master refused to let me. It's not that I won't see you during the Chinese New Year. If there is no need, don't disturb the old lady!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian was speechless. Master Pardon could really do such a thing.

"Second brother Lian, don't get involved in this kind of thing!"

Jia Huan reminded: "So as not to put you in trouble~"

"What you said makes it sound like I'm not in trouble now~"

Waving his hands, Jia Lian said angrily: "Every time Brother Cong shows up in the limelight, the old lady will call my second uncle and me over to talk about it!"

"There's nothing you can do about it, just fool it if you can!"

Jia Huan said helplessly: "The recent period has been very critical for Brother Cong!"

"It's not impossible to tell Brother Lian the truth. Next, Brother Cong will probably start cleaning up the banditry in the entire Northland, especially the Central Plains bordering the south and the area bordering Liaodong!"

"As long as Brother Cong performs as well as always, it is not impossible to be directly promoted to the third rank of General!"

"At that time, it will be of great benefit to the house, as well as you and me!"

Having said this, he said curiously: "I don't understand, why does the old lady insist on seeing Brother Cong?"

"Is it possible that years of neglect and unfamiliarity can be alleviated by just meeting each other? Isn't that a joke?"

"How do I know this?"

Jia Lian also had a puzzled look on his face and said with a wry smile: "Maybe the old lady has such confidence. After all, given her seniority, Brother Cong has to give her some face!"

Although he said this, the subtlety in his tone still revealed his disapproval.

Not to mention others, even his direct grandson cannot obey the old lady's advice at the moment.

The reason is very simple. The old lady cannot affect his career. It can be said that she has lost the greatest restraint on him.

In the past, Jia Lian could only rely on Rongfu to survive. If he wanted to live a prosperous life, he had to please the people in power in Rongfu. Naturally, he was pinched to death.

Now, Jia Lian is considered a powerful doctor with some qualifications in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The future future, not to mention it is bright, is in the hands of today and the court.

The old lady's influence was, at most, coercion through filial piety, so that Jia Lian would not dare to show his face easily, but that was all.

There is no way to pinpoint the root cause. Jia Lian's awe for the old lady will gradually weaken as time goes by, until it finally dissipates completely.

Otherwise, he would not find an excuse to come to Jia Huan to complain. Instead, he would find a way to invite Jia Huan back to the Rong Mansion and explain the main reason why Brother Cong did not come.

"By the way, Second Brother Lian, do you have any ideas about going outside?"

Here, Jia Huan thought of something and suddenly changed the subject: "Don't be perfunctory, I really have a way here!"

"Outside?"

Jia Lian was a little moved and said curiously: "Tell me about it, we two brothers can think about it together!"

For him, releasing it to the outside world is definitely a big thing among big things, and it is something that needs to be carefully weighed and considered.

In the era of feudal imperial power, the capital was the core of the imperial court, the center of officialdom, and the most dazzling place.

Only in the capital can one have the opportunity to be close to the center of power in Daqian. If one is lucky, one can be appreciated by nobles and rise to the top.

Jia Lian's own situation is a very obvious example.

If he were to stay outside, he would not even think twice about becoming a powerful fifth-grade official at such a young age.

It was only in the capital that he had such an opportunity without being too conspicuous.

However, once you reach this point, it is quite difficult to go further.

The Rong Mansion's resources are limited and it is unlikely that they will all be focused on him.

If you want to take a step forward in officialdom, it is also a good idea to go outside.

What is the so-called third-level official in the capital? If done properly, he would be decentralized and directly become a third-level local official, which is not without a chance.

Of course, at his current age, it is not impossible to stay in the Ministry of Revenue for a few more years. It is not bad to accumulate more qualifications, which will be more helpful for his future future.

He looked at Jia Huan, wondering what the boy was thinking when he suddenly asked such a question?

"Second Brother Lian, I followed Brother Cong before..."

Jia Huan didn't take anything lightly, and sent him out directly with Jia Cong. They handled the affairs in private and briefly talked about them. The most important thing was the secret letters obtained from the destroyed village.

Jia Cong has quietly handed over these things to the current emperor!

With the temperament of the current emperor, he will definitely not remain indifferent, and there is likely to be turmoil in the Zhili officialdom.

In Zhili territory, there are many important state capitals, and their chief officials are all senior officials with real power.

Judging from Jia Lian's current situation, as long as he operates properly, it is not difficult to directly replace him once a vacancy arises. Of course, the premise is that he must be the first to take action.

In normal times, it would not be easy for Jia Lian to take advantage of this!

Isn't this the most timely information provided by Jia Huan, so he can naturally make a quick move!

Of course, it's not that he can't covet higher-level positions, but the competition may be too fierce. With Jia Lian's background and background, he may not be able to do it.

"This is a big deal, I have to think about it!"

Jia Lian's heart was pounding, but he did not make up his mind immediately. At least he had to go back and discuss it with Wang Xifeng.

"Better make your decision quickly!"

Jia Huan reminded: "Something will happen soon, so it's best to take advantage of the situation!"

"Zhili is not far from the capital, and the power of Rongfu can barely cover it, so it won't be isolated and helpless!"

"If Brother Lian can make some achievements, it will be easy for him to enter the Dharma Eyes today!"

"There is a chance this time. It is estimated that all the cabinet ministers will be caught off guard. But next time, Brother Lian, you may not have a chance!"

"One more thing, I think it's best for the second sister-in-law to leave Rong Mansion for a while. This is very necessary for her and your little family!"

"I think I'm just afraid that your second sister-in-law won't agree!"

Jia Lian said helplessly: "Your second sister-in-law is too greedy for power!"

Thinking of Wang Xifeng's crazy attitude of greed for power, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel numb.

"Also, there is so much money in the palace. If your second sister-in-law doesn't care about it, I believe it will disappear quickly in a short time. Not to mention your second sister-in-law, even I don't want to agree!"

"Second brother Lian, haven't you ever thought about separating from the second bedroom?" Jia Huan asked curiously: "The eldest master is not in the house now, and you and the second sister-in-law live here in the east courtyard, so you can completely separate from the second bedroom. What!"

"It's better to take the opportunity to separate the public and middle schools!"

The words were spoken easily, but in Jia Lian's ears it was like a thunderbolt.

"Huan, Brother Huan, you are so ridiculous, you are just kidding!"

Jia Lian was so shocked that he was speechless: "This is not good, why are you suddenly proposing to separate the family?"

"Don't you think that Brother Lian doesn't want to?"

Glancing at this guy, Jia Huan said amusedly: "I'm afraid you've thought about it for a long time, right?"

"So what if you think about it, the old lady won't agree!"

Jia Lian said angrily: "You kid, you will always come up with such bad ideas!"

Who doesn't want to be the real master of the family? If possible, Jia Lian really hopes to be separated from his second uncle's family.

He didn't think he was any worse than his second uncle in court!

There are not many resources in the government, so it is more convenient to manage things slowly by yourself.

Not to mention, he himself is a direct descendant of the Rong Mansion, so outsiders will naturally regard him as the core of the Rong Mansion, so there is no need to do anything deliberately.

The key is to be able to get rid of the interference and constraints of the old lady!

For example, regarding Jia Cong, the old lady didn't want to greet Jia Cong in person, but she always called him to Rongqing Hall to talk, as if she could control Jia Cong in this way?

However, the old lady used filial piety to control the younger generation too much. Jia Lian didn't think he could resist. In the end, he took the initiative to bow his head and surrender?

"Why is it useless?"

Jia Huan sneered and said: "While the eldest master is still in the mansion, the second brother really thinks that the old lady can completely control it?"

"This one……"

Jia Lian naturally wanted to say that was the case, but when he carefully recalled the past actions of Master Pardon, he was surprised to find that it was not the case.

As long as Mr. Pardon doesn't want to pay attention to things, the old lady will have nothing to do with him no matter how unhappy she is.

Anyway, Master Pardon has closed the small door that connects the East Courtyard to the mansion. If people in the mansion want to find it, they have to make a big detour, which is quite laborious.

Of course, if the old lady really gets angry, Master Pardon would not dare to directly resist her.

Seeing his reaction, Jia Huan said with a smile: "It's not like my second brother Guangming is so big that he wants to separate the family!"

"First seal the small door in the Unicom Mansion completely, and then on the grounds that the second sister-in-law needs to rest, divide the money in the public house into two, and distribute the big and second houses in proportion, and then everyone can live their own lives!"

"The old lady will definitely not agree!"

Jia Lian shook his head and said helplessly: "This idea is not reliable at all!"

"Are you stupid? You can't discuss it with your wife in advance?"

Jia Huan said disdainfully: "I heard that the second wife is very jealous of my father-in-law's money!"

Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he almost gave himself a big slap in the face. Why didn't he think of this?

"It's just that this public money..."

It is said that good wealth is hard to give away, and this is what Jia Lian is like at this time.

Or to put it another way, the benefits are touching.

There is obviously a good opportunity to directly cut off the relationship with the house, but just because of the money, Jia Lian is hesitating here. What a pig-headed person.

Of course, the public has received more than 300,000 taels of silver, and he may have to give up most of it. It is understandable that he feels reluctant to part with it.

Jia Huan did not continue to cheat. Whether Jia Lian could make up his mind was his own business.

I have already finished my bad idea. As for what will happen next, there is no need to worry too much.

If the old lady doesn't have time to think about Jia Cong, then he can give the old lady some troubles.

If Jia Lian insists on accomplishing this, Rong Mansion will definitely not be at peace recently.

Mrs. Wang is short-sighted. As long as she has enough money and benefits, she can easily be fooled into taking the bait.

When the time comes, how can the old lady think about anything else when faced with a family separation that is only in name only?

Otherwise, Jia Lian is a big fool.

It has obviously been moved to the East Courtyard, and Master Pardon has already paved the road.

Neither he nor Wang Xifeng had any thoughts or ideas about separating the family and living a separate life, which was simply weird.

Just as he instigated, as long as the small door connecting to the mansion is directly sealed, the de facto separation of the family has been completed.

It may not seem like much at first, but as time goes by, the East Courtyard and the Rong Mansion will become two separate mansions. It's that simple.

As for public property, as long as you find a way, you can always find an opportunity to cut it off smoothly.

Maybe, Mrs. Wang would like this!

After all, Yuanchun has successfully established himself in the palace, and he also has an imperial daughter by his side.

It can be said that as long as she does not seek death, she can live steadily in the palace.

The existence of Yuanchun can help Rongfu maintain a considerable level of height and status.

Given Mrs. Wang's character, she would naturally not be happy for Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng to take advantage of the situation.

It is actually best to separate the family at the moment. Jia Lian has not officially taken off yet, and Jia Cong is still in the early stages of his career, which does not attract much attention from Mrs. Wang.

Maybe, Mrs. Wang thought that it was Yuanchun's blessing that the two of them were able to be promoted smoothly in the officialdom.

Don't think it's incredible, Mrs. Wang may really think so and think so.

Instead of the two eldest brothers becoming successful in the future but unable to get rid of Mrs. Wang's entanglement, it would be better to separate early.

It is estimated that Jia Lian has never thought about this, and Wang Xifeng is even less likely to have such thoughts.

Jia Huan knew very well that in the future, when the eldest brother and the second brother really rose up, it would be impossible to get rid of the second brother. If the old lady didn't agree, Mrs. Wang wouldn't agree either.

It can only be said that Jia Lian does not have much expectations for his future!

Jia Huan is quite optimistic, especially when the government is in turmoil. Officials like him with a strong background and certain practical abilities can easily rise to the top.

Not to mention, Jia Huan will still have some methods in the future, and just a few pointers will be enough for Jia Lian to flourish.

The two brothers didn't say anything more, and Jia Lian quickly took his leave and left.

Seeing this guy's absent-minded figure, Jia Huan felt very funny.

They have all become a doctor in one of the thirteen clean officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Faced with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they still can't make a decision. From now on, the highest level of this guy will be the rank of assistant minister.

After sending Jia Lian away, Jia Huan was not in a hurry to do anything.

Two days later, when the news from the court came, he paid a visit to Ning Mansion.

The two heads of the Ning Mansion, Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang, were more willing to listen to the advice.

Knowing that there might be many vacancies in the Zhili officialdom, Ning Mansion and Jia Qiang immediately started working in private, and they must find a good position for Jia Qiang who planned to go abroad.

At the same time, some officials attached to the Ning Mansion were divided into levels according to their confidants and general peripheral members, and received notification and help from the Ning Mansion at different times.

This is how a mountain boss should act, instead of getting entangled in the bad things in the house.
