Chapter 141 The wise man
After standing in front of the Ningguo Mansion gate for a while, looking at the five big words "Imperially Make Ningguo Mansion" written in the imperial seal script on the door plaque, after a while, he stopped stopping and turned around and entered the main entrance. ∮
After Yicong entered the door, the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion was closed.
In ordinary times, if there is no imperial edict or noble people coming, the main gate of Ningguo Mansion is usually not open.
The word "gui" that can be called in front of the lintel of Ningguo Mansion is really limited.
...
After entering the main hall, Jia Huan said to Lai Sheng: "These days when handling the affairs of Brother Xianzhen and Brother Rong, the people in the house are exhausted. If you arrange, except for those who pay daily duty and watch, everyone can take three days off. In addition, each person will be given a reward of two taels of silver. If you are in charge, you can get a little more, just twenty taels."
When Lai Sheng and several officials heard this, they all felt overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Huan a few times, thanking him.
However, Jia Huan could see it, and a hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of several managers.
Twenty taels are indeed a considerable amount for ordinary slaves, and they can afford their monthly money for two years.
But for those in charge, this is not worthy of justice.
They did this just to cooperate with Jia Huan in acting so that Jia Huanen could pass through the tricks.
Seeing this, Jia Huan ignored it, curled a smile on his lips and said, "Okay, go down and do whatever you want. I want to go to the backyard to pay my respects to my sister-in-law."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and then they bowed and retreated together.
Ningguo Mansion is really going to change.
...
Ningguo Mansion is also full of other courtyards, with floors of courtyards built up. After passing three or four gatehouses, Jia Huan entered the housing of the pioneer Jia Zhen and Youshi.
A mother and maid came in to report that Yu Shi was dressed in white and dressed in the same way, and several maids and mothers, all of whom were red and swollen eyes, were waiting at the door to greet him.
The Jia family has a "fine tradition", that is, men are superior to women.
At least among people of the same generation, this is true.
Wang Xifeng is so powerful, but she had to hide the private money she saved with her seals, for fear that Jia Lian would run away by smelling it.
Jia Lian and many girls from the Bao Er family played roles, and cursed Wang Xifeng, a yellow-faced woman, to die long ago, but after the quarrel, Wang Xifeng was chased by Jia Lian with a sword, and ran to Jia Mu's room in fright...
The same is true for Mrs. Wang. A woman with a gloomy mind and a vicious way can only play a virtuous wife in front of Jia Zheng.
Not to mention Mrs. Xing, she personally took a concubine to her husband, and even Mu Jia mocked her for being a little bit more than her three obediences and four virtues?
And Mrs. You, when Jia Zhen was there, was also a voice-like existence. Wang Xifeng ridiculed it as a mouthless gourd, and even if Wang Xifeng rubbed and spit it, she couldn't.
Therefore, this saved Jia Huan a troublesome thing, and there was no need to worry about the house fighting...
"Sister-in-law, it's cold and cold, how can you come out? How can I, a younger brother, afford this?"
There is no need to avoid anything. Youshi is similar to Aunt Zhao, both in her early twenties and thirties. Although she is young, she is much older than Jia Huan, a hairless boy. Therefore, Jia Huan reached out to support her, and no one would think about anything.
Youshi had a beautiful and haggard face. She had tears in her eyes and said, "Uncle San, Brother Zhen is gone. Now you have adopted Chengsi here. He is the master of the mansion here. In terms of rules, we will naturally welcome you."
Jia Huan's eyes were a little complicated and she sighed: "Sister-in-law, since I have arrived here, we are the closest relatives. Since we are the closest relatives, how can we still talk about these rules?"
Having said that, Jia Huan still secretly praised his intelligence in his heart.
If there is any woman in Dream of Red Mansions who can be called wise and foolish, and clever, then it is Yushi.
Like Mrs. Xing, she was helped up from her concubine position, and she had no children or daughters.
Their wealth and honor are all dependent on their husbands, so they naturally dare not say anything about the misconduct of Jia She and Jia Zhen.
Jia Huan had already guessed whether Youshi would present a "long-term sister-in-law like a mother" to him. Now it seems that she is really a sensible person.
Jia Huan remembered that when he was studying the Red Mansion in his previous life, he admired this Youshi quite well.
One of the important reasons why Wang Xifeng has a great reputation among the Jia clan is that after Qin Keqing's death, she presided over Qin Keqing's funeral.
Because it was very exciting, she was highly praised by everyone in the clan.
However, people ignored one thing: when Wang Xifeng handled Qin Keqing's funeral, she only needed to manage the internal affairs, and she ignored all the outside affairs. Moreover, the money was also free to be supported, and Jia Zhen was her backing, so no one dared to dissatisfied.
However, You also handled a funeral matter, which was the matter after Jia Jing died of the Golden Pill.
At that time, the heads of Rongning and Ning Mansions were not at home, and the only one who could make decisions in Ningguo Mansion was Youshi.
At this time, Youshi's handling methods made people feel extremely calm and at magnanimous.
First, she sent people to Xuanzhen Temple and locked up all the Taoist priests in the temple.
If it were an ordinary woman, how could she have this idea at this time? She had already started crying and shouting for help.
All the next things were handled very properly, and even Jia Zhen praised them.
Moreover, she is quite kind-hearted, and even treats strange things like Aunt Zhao like she will be kind-hearted.
When Wang Xifeng celebrated her birthday, Jia Mu made fun of her and wanted to learn from a small family and everyone came here to join in.
After the crowd paid the money, Wang Xifeng didn't give up and specifically pointed out Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, asking them to pay the money too.
However, Youshi turned around and returned the money to the two of them, and she also said something happened.
There were a few rapturous servants behind her. After she discovered it, she tied them up neatly and drove them out with someone beating the board.
All the deeds show that Youshi is definitely not what Wang Xifeng said.
Of course, she is not without shortcomings, nor can she be said to be a shortcoming. It should be said that she is good at protecting herself.
For example, the matter between You Erjie and You Sanjie.
But these two girls are not her own sisters...
For example, she let Wang Xifeng play tricks and pushes, but she just doesn't resist.
In terms of identity, her identity is much more valuable than Wang Xifeng. If you don’t mention the third-rank imperial edict, just saying that she is the mother of the Jia clan, it is far from what Wang Xifeng can compare to.
But she did not resist at all, why? Because she knew that behind Wang Xifeng was Mrs. Wang and Mu Jia.
So, she endured it.
If you don’t have great wisdom, who can do it?
You should know that her previous actions show that she is not a person who lives in a daze and does not have the ability to accept it.
Therefore, Jia Huan praised her in her heart for her cleverness.
She expressed her attitude from the beginning that she would abide by the rules and respect Jia Huan, the head of the family.
She also knew that although Jia Huan had separated from the Rongguo Mansion, neither Jia Mu nor Jia Zheng would care about Jia Huan, his descendants.
In the minds of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, Jia Huan's status is far from being righted halfway through, and the humble widowed woman in her family can be compared with.
If she dared to waste her life, Jia Huan would not need to use any method. As long as she complained to her, she might be sent to an unknown cold house to survive.
In the Jia family, there are many such women, who are still alive in the concubines of the second Duke of Rongning.
But in that way, You would rather die.
After thinking about this, Youshi's airs were very low. She clearly understood whether she would continue to be prosperous, wealthy, or cold clothing and food in the future depends entirely on whether she could please the new master of Ningguo Mansion.
She followed Jia Zhen, which had nothing to do with love...
...
After everyone entered the house, after giving in to each other, Jia Huan took the lead in seating.
You Shi said again: "Uncle San, I have only been crying these two days. I didn't have time to move the house. I hope you will let me go for two days before I can move away."
Jia Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, what did you say? Didn't you let me be a younger brother be a human being? There is no reason to let you move and move. This is going to spread. If nothing else, the ancestor's board will fall on my younger brother."
Youshi sighed and said, "It won't be like this. This is the main house. It should be the owner of the family. The ancestors are the most polite. If I don't move, she will remind me."
Jia Huan shook his head and said, "It's not just moving now. Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. Although I have adopted this place now, I will definitely not move in in the past two years."
You Shi was stunned when she heard this. Qin Shi, who was personally carrying a tea tray to serve tea for Jia Huan, was stunned. She stared at Jia Huan with beautiful eyes and was stunned.
You Shi frowned and said, "Uncle San, you are..."
Jia Huan said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law must know that the reason why I can come here is because I have the resources to follow martial arts. And the past two years is the time when I want to lay the foundation for martial arts, so I must not be careless."
Youshi and Qinshi looked at Jia Huan with a different look. If it were another person, he had just obtained the noble mansion and was still alive here.
Who wouldn't be moved by such a huge industry?
However, Jia Huan could still endure it for two years before he was willing to move in. He still went to the farm outside the city where birds could not shit out?
this……
You Shi said: "Uncle San, even if you want to practice martial arts, you can practice in the mansion. I remember that there is an open space deep in the garden behind. It was reserved for the martial arts training ground when the old man was alive. Although it has been abandoned for many years, it is still a good place to pick it up."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is very complicated. In addition to me, there are also the prince of Niu Boye of Duke Zhenguo Mansion and the three princes of the Han family of the Dingjun Mansion. We have discussed a way to practice martial arts together. This matter has been decided, and it will be changed if it is not easy."
You frowned and said, "But, you are not in the house, how can you make this happen?"
Jia Huan smiled and said, "This is one of the reasons why I came to find my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law, I am not married yet, and there are no elders in this mansion who can manage the business. So, I want to ask my sister-in-law to help me manage the family. I have their own arrangements outside and I have, but there are more than 100 or 200 people in the inner courtyard of the back house, so I can only trouble my sister-in-law."
