The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Since Jia Yuanchun did not continue to descend, the Jia family must build a courtyard to welcome the visiting relatives. Besides, they also thought that once they could really visit the relatives, they would not help Yuanchun's face and let her support her natal family.Ever since he lost his official position, the prudish second master has been thinking about how to get back to his post, and even one step closer, and he will never let go of any opportunity.

The Jia family wanted to build a family home, but they didn't get the money together. Even though the property in the hands of Da Jia Wang's family had been exposed, and Jia Shishi had to return a lot, she still yelled that this was a great happy event for the whole family. , every house has to pay money to be fair.What is included in these words is actually the big house, who split Jia She and Jia Lian into two families. After all, the son and grandson of the second house have not yet grown up, so no matter how you count, there is only one house.What's more, Dajia Wang still misses the Lin family's property in her heart, and doesn't think at all that it will have to be returned in the future. In her eyes, the things that have entered her warehouse are hers, and it is useless for anyone to ask for them.This time, nearly 50 taels were withdrawn from the household department. She hated Lin so much that she gritted her teeth and wished she could be skinned to make up for it. How could she treat her kindly?

On the other hand, Mrs. Jia Shi was only thinking about assigning Mrs. Lin to her precious grandson Jia Baoyu, and only regarded the Lin family's property as Lin's dowry. of.This person not only ignored the blatant imperial decree asking Lin to run for election, but also ignored that the dowry is a woman's private property, and the husband's family cannot use it without authorization.

This time, the Lin family certainly saved herself from worrying about how to return the extinct property, and even took the opportunity to write a letter pretending to be her father's legacy and handing it over, so that Lin Ruhai, who had taken office, got a rather nice posthumous title, which is also considered The stigma was cleared, but she still couldn't see and touch the large family property, and no one even notified her when she was going to use it.Fortunately, after this incident, she more or less saw the faces of the people in Rongguo Mansion. After her eyes became clear, she only tightly hid the tens of thousands of silver that Yingchun handed over to her, and never used it again. She still lived with the rest of Rongguo Mansion on weekdays. Like a girl, she spends a month, two or two months. Fortunately, Jia Shishi has always subsidized her, and her food is better than Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun. The servants also know the identity of Miss Lin after this incident. With a huge sum of money, the words about her poor relatives and borrowing the autumn wind suddenly fell a lot.

The Rongguo Mansion took the property of the Lin family and wanted to build a pro-professional hospital, but no one asked the Prime Minister about it.The big and small Jia Wangs became dirty, and the big Jia Wang was afraid that the little Jia Wang would steal the money, so he didn't dare to entrust the important affairs to her room. Besides, Jia Lian is not very obedient now, and he doesn't do business with him all day long. I don't know what to do behind the Ning family boy, and the perfunctory days for the second room are obviously passing day by day.Fortunately, the second-bedroom master has a lot of time to resign from his official position now, but this person is really not good at general affairs, let alone rebuilding a yard, even if he has a ready-made yard to take care of, he may not be able to do it well.It's been a month since he made up his mind, and this old man who has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years still hasn't even produced the design drawings.If you really count on him, you won't be able to build a family home in your next life.

Jia Lian saw it and was secretly satisfied.He followed Ning Shan and returned the property of the Lin family first, so he made up for the gap. Although he was not of the fifth rank, he started off at the same level as the second master. I'm a job errand, and now I go to work in a serious manner every day, running errands and settling accounts for the bosses, my mind is still clear, and with the friendship between my old man and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, which was established on gold and stone antiques, life is quite smooth .His daughter-in-law, who was not very clear-headed at first, seems to be enlightened now, and she no longer follows the second room closely, wearing the newly approved fourth-rank Gongren's order, and fighting vigorously with the white-bodied Da Jia Wang in the second room, the two of them Just arguing for the right to be the housekeeper behind the scenes is a lot of fun.It's just that neither of these two can beat the old Mrs. Shi, and she still controls the keys and account books of the public treasury. No matter who is in charge, it's just running errands for her and being a dignified and respectable maid.

Seeing that the two sons had real needs, Jia She felt very relieved when the second son and his family lost their lives, living only on the old lady's favoritism. Thinking of finding a job as an official.It's just that he forgot that he became white after giving up the title, but his daughter-in-law still kept the order of the fourth-rank Gongren. If there is a shortage, where is there a ready-made one for him?

After a few days of commotion, the eldest son ignored him, Jia She gradually lost his interest, and went back to the house to admire the antique treasures he had just bought.But he thought in his heart that if he got close with the big bosses of the official department and the household department, he might be able to get an official position. He didn't think the fourth or fifth rank was low. Queer, but he is happy without it, and he doesn't have to bother his eldest son with everything.Looking forward to it like this, I went to be happy again.Ning Shan couldn't figure out what Jia She was thinking every day, and she didn't plan to figure it out. Anyway, as long as he didn't cause trouble or be a demon, he could do whatever he liked. He was very upset when he was busy dealing with his boss. of.

Ning Shan's immediate superiors are two doctors from the left and right of the Ministry of War, one is a confidant of the Supreme Emperor, and the other is promoted today, both of them are trying to win him over to attack each other.Ning Shan didn't even care about the two emperors, so of course it was impossible for her to succumb to their dog legs, so she didn't give a single face, and was so angry that the two joined hands to punish him.Although Ning Shan was not afraid, and she was right to be picky, she was also disturbed by the noise.Although he came from a family in his previous life and had unique insights in the officialdom, he did not go deep into it because he was young. Now he has been a general under the old Ning family, fought victoriously and entered the military department. The interest of six rotations comes.Seeing is worth seeing, no matter how much he knows from the mouths of the elders in his family, it can't be as fast and effective as testing it himself.By the way, I am also familiar with the official system of the Daxing Dynasty, laying a good foundation for the future.

One day, when he returned home from court, he had dinner with Jia She. During the dinner, Ning Shan suddenly asked: "I heard that father has some contacts with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

With a chopstick of beef in his mouth, Jia She said triumphantly: "I can't say you have friendship, it's just that you are a little more familiar with others." After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help showing off, and said, "Maybe I can plan a relationship someday as a father." I'm really missing you." After finishing the flute, he took a small drink, quite contented.Who said that his pardoning the Elder would only be absurd, messing around with concubines and maids all day long, slapping his face hard, cool!

Ning Shan didn't think that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would easily sell the old dandy's face if he could sit in the first and second ranks. She expected that even if he helped him find a child, he would not be higher than his younger brother Jia Lian's sixth rank. She just smiled and changed the topic He drove away: "Then father, has he decided which one to go to? If he goes to the Ministry of War, he will be under the son's command." In the officialdom of the Daxing Dynasty, there was an unspoken rule that a son's position should not exceed his father's position. Although Ning Shan has two families, everyone knows the reality, at least they can't be placed in one department.Ning Shan didn't care much about this, the royal family had to use those who were really capable, no matter what else, it just looked at the borderlands that had never been completely peaceful, sooner or later there would be wars, and there were not many people in the court today. A person who is really capable of fighting is not going to come to him by then.What's more, if Jia She really became a small official of the Ministry of War, Ning Shan would have a reason to resign from the Ministry of War and seek another position.As for resigning and going home, he never thought about it, and he didn't think that the two emperors would be so confused that they would abandon him and use Jia Amnesty instead.

Jia Amnesty also forgot about this section when he was in a tizzy before, and only remembered it after waking up from the wine, and shivered violently, remembering that his plan had almost delayed his eldest son, he couldn't help but feel guilty.If this delays the eldest son's official career, who will support him in the future?Jia Amnesty wasn't too confused. Thinking about it this way, he didn't dare to make trouble.

On the contrary, Ning Shan encouraged him: "It's a good thing for father to want to find a missing child. If all three of us father and son have real missing children, the second wife will appear to be down." The best way to encourage Jia Amnesty is to start by stepping on Jia Zheng. Ning Shan's conclusion from Jia Amnesty is that if she wants to avoid being guarded by the two emperors, the best way is not to praise anyone, at least not to praise the present in front of the Supreme Emperor, and not to get close to the Supreme Emperor in front of the present.It's better to not rely on two ends like this, but it's better than a grass that falls with the wind, at least everyone will look at him high, it's better than being gossiped behind his back.The current Jingying Jiedu envoy, Wang Ziteng, first took refuge in the Supreme Emperor and the deceased Prince Yizhong and took a high position. After seeing that Prince Yizhong had something bad, he immediately surrendered to the present. He thought he was playing by ear, but he didn't know that the Supreme Emperor I hate him in my heart, and I don't like him now. The position of the Jingying Jiedushi will soon become someone else's.

Hearing his son's encouragement, Jia Amnesty became hesitant again. In his heart, he also knew that he was not very capable, and that he might not be able to sit firmly if he really became an official. But in reality, he wanted to fight for his breath and let people see him He is much better than Jia Zheng, and everyone who thinks he is inferior to Jia Zheng is blind.In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, Mr. Xie is determined to fight Jia Zheng for the rest of his life, as long as Jia Zheng is not as good as him, even if he barely lives, he will be happy.

Ning Shan is not interested in fighting to the death with Jia Zheng and others, nor does she advocate that her younger brother Jia Lian should fight with him. If she wins, she will be known as an elder. After all, she is not on the same level, and many things are easy to be overwhelmed; But if he still can't win against Jia Zheng, it will be even more embarrassing. This kind of matter should be handed over to Jia Amnesty, who is his peer and can pull off his elder brother like a father. Besides, find him something Is it easy?If it hadn't been related to Jia Zheng, the ghost knows whether he would be willing to work hard.

Jia Amnesty's lifelong ambitions and vigor have been focused on rivalry with Jia Zheng, and he has no long-term interest in other interests. Since he was encouraged by his son, he has become more energetic, and he has gone to dig out several treasures, waiting for the next rest. Send it to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for review, whether it's a good relationship, or a good relationship.

Ning Shan dismissed the stupid father Jia She, and began to think about the debt owed by the household department that the stupid brother Jia Lian inadvertently brought up. Now that the emperor has tasted the sweetness from the Lin family, he has moved his mind to settle the debt owed by the household department and choose a day to collect it.Most of the people who owed a large amount of money were the confidantes of the Emperor Taishang when he was in power. For this alone, the Emperor would do a lot of money, but the Minister of the Household Department is not his person. For a few of his people, the more important the positions, the more they are controlled by the emperor. He wants to play big, but it is not easy to find someone to cooperate with.Ning Shan thought, should she make a difference and take this job, maybe she can get one step closer.As for offending the four kings and eight lords, he doesn't take it seriously. These few families are now relying on the credit of their ancestors to support their appearance. From top to bottom, there are only a few who still have real power. I can't take revenge either.

Ning Shan made up her mind that she needed to know more about the situation, so she sent someone to find Jia Lian and asked him to come to the house some day, and tricked him into finding out more about the household department under the pretext of greeting Jia Amnesty. Come.Jia Lian has no great abilities, but he is very shrewd in small things. He is especially good at observing words and deeds. He gets along well with the middle and lower leaders of the household department. Not particularly shrewd, fooling him is far faster and safer than fooling others.Ning Shan intends to start with him and find out in detail how much money is owed by each household. The main reason is whether those people owe a lot and whether they have the intention and ability to pay back. There is nothing to be done to collect debts, and it is easy to get a bad reputation.

What's more, he had to find out whether the Jia family owed any money first. If he really went to collect the debt, the first household would be the Rongguo Mansion. How he should pay the money was also a problem.Having quarreled with their family twice, the relationship has long been bad. Ning Shan believes that if there is a chance to trip him, the Rongguo Mansion will definitely spare no effort.
