Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 149 Arrangement
After visiting the new 'Emperor Jiahou Mansion', both Jia Min and Lin Daiyu chose Tianxiang Tower.

Tianxiang Tower is big enough, Miaoyu, Yinglian and Xing Xiuyan all live here.

As for Yun Fei and Zhu Jun, they were arranged to live in Ning Xixuan, which was the most beautiful place in the mansion besides Tianxiang Tower.

Needless to say, Jia Qiang lives in the main hall, which has five halls and three summer rooms. He and his two personal maids currently live there, which can be said to be very luxurious.

After arranging their accommodation, Feicui brought Youshi, Peifeng, and Xianluan to the main hall.

"Brother Qiang!" Youshi shouted submissively when she saw Jia Qiang.

Since Jia Zhen's death, she has felt extremely uneasy. She has lost her husband, and her son has been sent to the border with no news.

After hearing that Ningguo Mansion had been re-gifted to someone else, she felt like the sky had fallen.

How could she survive after leaving Ningguo Mansion? It was not easy for a weak woman to survive outside.

She has long been accustomed to a life of fine clothing and fine food. Could she leave Ningguo Mansion to live a poor life?
Today the new owner of Ningguo Mansion arrived. When she saw Jade, she thought she had seen it wrong.

They knew very well that they had no friendship with Jia Qiang. Even when Jia Qiang was still in the mansion, they had hardly spoken to Jia Qiang.

This made Youshi burst into tears with excitement. When she heard the familiar name, all her strangeness disappeared.

Jade was the maid beside the ancestor, and was awarded to Jia Qiang, whom she knew.

Jia Qiang's face is not much different from a few years ago. You can still recognize him from his face. His biggest change is his temperament.

Thirty taels of silver per month, the corresponding food and clothing expenses are the master's treatment.

This can't be blamed on them. Life as concubines is already very difficult, and they can't make any mistakes. Jia Zhen's love is the basis for their survival. As long as they lose their love, they will not be able to stay in the mansion.

"I am not considered a member of the Jia clan in the capital. The Jia clan's ancestral hall cannot be placed in the mansion. I would like to ask my aunt to help me go to the Rongguo mansion to ask how to deal with this matter?" Jia Qiang handed the matter over to You.

"Grandma Zhen, and the two aunts, what arrangements do you have?" Jia Qiang asked with a smile.

"Auntie knows that you are now very capable, so please help me ask about Brother Rong!" Youshi suddenly knelt down and said.

"Auntie, what else can I do?" Jia Qiang couldn't help but ask.

When Youshi left, his steps became much more brisk.

Feicui left with Peifeng and Xianluan, leaving Youshi in the room.

"What happened back then has passed. Now there is a jade housekeeper in the house. She has no experience. You help order the jade. In addition, you earn thirty taels of silver every month. All expenses are in accordance with the rules!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and said .

He changed his title and returned to his previous title.

In the Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and their two wives were all there.

Jia Rong grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and was sent to the border gate. Even with the money and entrustment given by Jia Qiang, it would be difficult for her to survive to the border gate, let alone live well in the border gate until now.

Peifeng and Xianluan looked at each other. They were still young and did not want to stay in the house.

"The sealing of the Ningguo Mansion came too suddenly. The Jia family had not had time to move the ancestral hall. No one dared to go to the palace to plead for this matter, so they kept delaying it. Now the Jia family ancestral hall is still in its original location. Place!" Youshi replied.

After all, You is the wife of the former clan leader, and the Jia family ancestral hall has nothing to do with Jia Qiang, so it is most appropriate for her to run it.

"Aunt, although I have been expelled from the Jia family tree, I still remember how you took care of me back then. This will be your home from now on!" Jia Qiang said to You with a smile.

Neither the juniors nor the maids were let in. This was a conversation between the head of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Let's do this. I'll give each of you two hundred taels of silver and send you out of the house to find your family!" Jia Qiang saw what they meant and decided calmly.

"Brother Qiang, I don't want to leave the house, just give me a bite to eat!" Youshi said in a murmuring voice.

Jia Qiang shook his head. He had no hope as to whether Jia Rong could still be alive.

When he visited before, it was locked, but he didn't notice it yet. Now he understood why it was locked.

But when she left, she still hesitated.

They still have some money of their own, and with the two hundred taels of silver given by Jia Qiang, they can survive even if they can't find anyone to marry after leaving the house.

"By the way, how are the arrangements for the Jia Family Ancestral Hall?" Jia Qiang thought of the Jia Family Ancestral Hall at this time, and Youshi happened to know the best, so he asked.

At his position, it is not difficult to inquire about an imperial convict sent to the border just from his second-grade official status.

His temperament is extremely complex. Wu has the title of a superior marquis, a second-grade military attache, and Wen has the status of a juren. In addition, he has practiced the immortal cultivation technique "Taixu Sutra" and the mysterious "Maitreya Zen". The lying technique made his temperament combine the temperament of civility, martial arts, immortality and the temperament brought by the soul of the previous life.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!" Peifeng and Xianluan bowed and thanked them.

"Jade, give them some silver, and then let them go to their respective rooms to pack up their belongings and send them out of the house!" Jia Qiang ordered to Jade.

"What about you?" Jia Qiang turned to look at Peifeng and Xianluan, who were Jia Zhen's concubines.

But when she saw Jia Qiang, Youshi didn't even recognize the young man in front of her.

"Auntie, get up quickly. I will send someone to inquire about Brother Rong, but the distance is too far. It will take several months to send back any news!" Jia Qiang waved.

"It was useless for my aunt to stop me back then!" she cried.

This made Youshi, who had not seen Jia Qiang for a long time, suddenly not sure how to face Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang was startled. He never expected that the Jia family's ancestral hall was still in the mansion.

Then she heard Jade say that Ningguo Mansion was given to Jia Qiang by the Holy One, which made her worry less.

"I'll take care of this right away!" Youshi seemed to have come to life, her face regained its previous look, and she nodded in response.

"Auntie will definitely help you take care of this family!" Youshi cried with joy and leaned down to promise.

"The Ningguo Mansion next door was really given to Brother Qiang?" Jia Mu, still in shock, confirmed in disbelief.

When she heard the news, she couldn't help but think of the twelve-year-old boy who stood stubbornly in the Hall of Honor.

After this young man left Ning Guo Mansion, he was like a hidden dragon entering the sea, out of control.

First, he became a scholar, and then he got a title, and his title kept improving. This time, he returned to Ningguo Mansion, but this time he came back as the master.

"I've sent someone to check it out. The plaque on the door of Ningguo Mansion has been replaced with 'Edict to build Jiahou Mansion', and Jia Qiang has become a super-grade marquis!" Jia She replied with envy.

He was the Duke of the country at first, but by their generation, not only did he lose the Ningguo Mansion, but the title of the Rongguo Mansion also dropped to the first rank. The most important thing is that he, the inheritor of Rongguo Mansion, can only live in a side house.

"Marquis Chaopin, doesn't that mean that after Daiyu marries Brother Qiang, she will be a superintendent?" Mrs. Wang interjected.

She was so envious that her eyes almost turned red. Apart from the royal family, the most noble status among women in Daqian was the super-grade imperial title.

Look at herself, she is only a fifth-grade imperial concubine, and is not even qualified to enter the palace every year.

In the whole Jia family, only Jia Mu's super-class title can be compared. But how old is Jia Mu, and how old is Lin Daiyu?
"Daiyu's life is good!" Jia Mu smiled. She loved her granddaughter very much.

"What should we do now? Brother Qiang has lived next door, but he has been expelled from the Jia family. How will we get along with each other in the future?" Jia Zheng asked at this time.

He claimed to be an upright person, and Jia Qiang had always been looked down upon by him.

Now that Jia Qiang has moved next door, her status is much higher than him, which makes it impossible for him to face Jia Qiang.

"Please invite Brother Qiang to come over sometime, and I will persuade him to return to Jia's house!" Jia's mother thought for a while and said.

It was Jia Zhen who expelled Jia Qiang from the Jia family. Now that Jia Zhen is dead, the other clan elders will not go against Jia Mu's wishes. As long as Jia Mu opens her mouth, there will be no problems with the Jia family.

The rest depends on Jia Qiang's wishes. If Jia Qiang can be persuaded to return to the Jia family, then the Jia family will not have to worry about it for at least tens or hundreds of years.

With Jia Qiang's status, she can definitely protect the Jia family from being defeated.

"By the way, Jia's ancestral hall is still next door. Now that Ningguo Mansion has been unblocked, we can't put Jia's ancestral hall in Jia Qiang's place, right?" Jia She asked, thinking of the ancestral hall.

"I'll mention it later when I invite Jia Qiang. If Jia Qiang is willing to return to the Jia family, what if he becomes the patriarch of the Jia family!" Jia's mother said in a deep voice.

Both Jia Zheng and Jia She showed unwillingness, but seeing the determination on Jia Mu's face, they did not dare to say anything.

"Old lady, I heard that the maid said that Baoyu couldn't sleep well at night and called Sister Lin. Do you think you could take Daiyu over and live there for a while?" Mrs. Wang's mind moved slightly and she suggested.

"Did you call the doctor?" When Jia Mu heard about the matter involving Jia Baoyu, her mind suddenly became confused, and she asked quickly.

"There is no impact at the moment. I'm just worried that it will be bad for Baoyu's health over time!" Mrs. Wang explained.

"Then let Daiyu come and live for a while. Min'er and Daiyu also live next door. Let them move in together!" Jia Mu said without any hesitation.

"Mother, Ri Baoyu made Third Sister very unhappy that day. How can we ask her to live here with her daughter again!" Jia Zheng quickly dissuaded her.

Jia She looked on without saying anything. He could tell that Mrs. Wang wanted to ruin Lin Daiyu's innocent reputation.

If Jia Baoyu really cannot forget Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu moves into Rongguo Mansion the next day, with the virtue of the servants in Rongguo Mansion, it will not take a day or two for this matter to spread throughout the capital.

Lin Daiyu's reputation is ruined, and it will be difficult for her to marry Jia Qiang again.

That is to say, Jia Zheng did not see that Jia's mother had been affected by Jia Baoyu's thinking. When she came back to her senses, she should be able to think of the stakes involved.

"Go and write a message to Min'er and ask her to bring Daiyu to live in the house!" Jia Mu only cared about Jia Baoyu and refused to listen to anyone's advice at this time.

Yuanyang walked in, came to Jia Mu and whispered a few words.

"Let Brother Zhen and his daughter-in-law come in!" Jia Mu gently rubbed her forehead and ordered.

She is old, has not worked so hard for a long time, and now she is tired.

But the one who came was the You family. Ever since the Ningguo Mansion was sealed off by the Tian family, the You family had been living in the Ningguo Mansion and had no contact with the outside world.

This time, I don’t know why.

Jia's mother had already thought about it. If you were desperate, she would let you live in Rongguo Mansion. It would just be an extra mouth.

You entered Rongxi Hall and saw that all the principals of Rongguo Mansion were there. She was slightly startled at first, and then her expression returned to normal.

"I've met our ancestors!" Mrs. You bowed and bowed to Jia Mu.

"You have suffered! What are you here for?" Jia Mu asked, shaking her head.

"Master Qiang asked me to come over and discuss the matter of Jia's ancestral hall with my ancestors!" You bowed and replied.

When she was in the house, she could call herself aunt, but outside, she didn't dare to do so.

Jia Qiang called her aunt, which elevated her status and made her life in the mansion better.

Outside, she was just a poor person who lived in the "Jia Hou Mansion built by imperial decree". Jia Qiang was the master of the house, so she called Jia Qiang Master Qiang outside.

"For this reason, I was thinking of asking Brother Qiang to come over and discuss the ancestral hall with him!" Jia Mu was a little surprised. This You family clearly gained power in the next door house and would represent Jia Qiang. come over.

"Master Qiang is not from the Jia family in the capital, so it is not a problem to place the Jia family's ancestral hall in the mansion. It is better to move the Jia family's ancestral hall to another place first. As for discussing with Master Qiang, Master Qiang has said that I will handle this matter. There is no need to alarm Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang has been very busy recently. He just took over the position of deputy commander of the Beijing camp and has to participate in next year's examination! "Youshi replied with a smile.

This was her first errand in the Imperial Jiahou Mansion, and she didn't want to give Jia Qiang the impression of being unfavorable.

In the past, Jia Mu's words could make her give up her thoughts and act according to Jia Mu's wishes.

But now it's different from the past. After Jia Qiang moved, she didn't take the initiative to come to Rongguo Mansion, which explains the problem.

"How old is Brother Qiang, the deputy commander of the Beijing camp? How can he hold this position?" Jia Zheng's face turned red, and he pointed at You Shi and asked in shock.

Being in the officialdom, he didn't know what the position of deputy commander of the Beijing camp was.

That was someone with a second-grade military position who truly held great power.

Although the military position is not as good as the civilian position, the actual second-grade military attache can be compared to the current head of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng.

In terms of age, Jia Qiang's potential is much greater than that of Wang Ziteng.

The most important thing is that Wang Ziteng was able to reach his current official position because the Jia family used their own connections in the military to achieve his current official position.

Let’s look at Jia Qiang, a helpless child who, within a few years of being alone, has achieved the title of a superior marquis and has gained real power in the military.

"Master Qiang won the Asian Yuan in Jiangnan, how can his genius be compared with ordinary people!" You replied proudly.

In the absence of any news about Jia Rong, Jia Qiang was considered a child raised by Youshi. She was naturally unhappy when she heard the doubt in Jia Zheng's tone.
