The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

Jia Lian's place of office is in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't think that the south of the Yangtze River is a land of fish and rice. Even if it is near the capital, it is divided into upper and lower counties. Apparently, although the Jia family is a powerful family in Jinling, they do not have much power in the official sense. After Jia Lian arrived there, if there was something to find Jinling, at most, the Jia family in Jinling would send a few people to Jia Lian. Help, but also beware of whether they will not help.

But in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai seemed to be a local snake. Among other things, Lin Ruhai was quite clear about the details of the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River. When he asked Lin Ruhai to introduce some people to Jia Lian, Jia Lian's life would be easier.

Jia Lian is also a smart person. When Lin's mother made a start, he understood it.Yes, this is a ready advantage, why not take advantage of it?Wouldn't it be a fool to leave the clock alone instead of striking the iron?

Of course, Jia Lian felt that Lin's mother said that she was worried about Jia Lian for so many years, but she was hanging out with a bunch of dudes and would not be an official. Therefore, she pointed him to a clear path, and he himself liked to take shortcuts. Therefore, he was naturally so happy, and immediately patted his chest on Lin's mother, and when he went south to take office, he would directly detour to Yangzhou, first ask Uncle Lin for advice, and then take office, so that Lin's mother can rest assured.

Naturally, Mother Lin told Jia Lian again, and Jia Lian was told to leave.After this year passed, Mother Lin also had a certain understanding of the social circle of Jia's family. To be honest, after Mother Lin figured it out, she was quite contemptuous of the Jia family today.Mother Lin still remembered that when Jia Daishan was alive, Jia's house was full of guests, and guests came like a cloud. If your official position is a little smaller, you may not be able to hand over the post to Jia Daishan.

But now, the Jia family is getting worse and worse. Originally, the generals of Jia Daishan have almost no contact with the Jia family, and many of the Jia family's in-laws also have no contact with each other now. Not a word.Nowadays, most of the families that the Jia family interacts with are those nobles who have begun to decline. They say they are four princes and eight princes. In fact, even the saint Kuanren has always suppressed those kings with different surnames more than trusting them.

The best situation here is the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County. The previous King of Beijing County married the princess of the clan and is also the current niece, who gave birth to the current King of Beijing County, Shui Rong.Shui Rong's father passed away a few years ago, and Shui Rong attacked the prince when he was less than ten years old. Because the concubine is the princess of the clan, once her husband died, she handed over all the military power of the Prince's Palace in Beijing County, and Shui Rong was also taken over by her. Deliberately taught to like the wind, the snow and the moon, and the temperament is romantic. In this way, he naturally won the joy of the superiors. Therefore, Shui Rong was able to attack without being degraded, and he is still the king of Beijing County.

As for the other palaces, Dongping County Palace, which originally had the best relationship with the Jia family, was the first to decline. Now that there is no prince, in fact, it is just a county duke. Nan'an Palace and Xining Palace are better. There is no way, although the superiors want to cut the nobles, but they can't stand it. The Nan'an Palace has been shutting down the southeast camp. The Xining Palace is permanently stationed near Ping'an Prefecture, with hundreds of thousands of troops under it. After so many years of operation, there are many people in the army who are loyal to them. There are quite a few of them. Therefore, although the superiors are extremely vigilant against them, they have not been able to catch them, so they can only endure it.

However, the Jia family has a lot of contacts with these families, and the Beijing Palace is nothing more than that. Now Shui Rong is holding the title of a county king, but he is actually an idler, but the other families are not easy to use. Since he had the intention to abandon martial arts and follow literature, he should have separated from these people long ago. As a result, the communication has been quite close now. Even if he didn't participate in their activities, he still had to trust his superiors.Didn't Jia Amnesty fall for this at the beginning?Without enough strength, he still wants to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. This is not courting death!

In addition, the so-called eight gongs are similar. Most of these families are like the Jia family. The ancestors are upright, but the problem is that the descendants are unworthy, there are many dudes, but not many are upright. Jia's contacts are all like this. , It is unreasonable not to decline.

Mother Lin doesn't care if the Jia family is in decline or not. She has been an old ghost for many years, but she doesn't care about the future of the Jia family. What she cares about is her own son and granddaughter. As long as Lin Daiyu gets married properly, the Lin family will have a legacy of incense. , then Mother Lin can rest in peace.

Therefore, Lin's mother has no intention of changing at all. Anyway, even if the higher-ups want to clean up the nobles, they have to wait for a while. Before that, the dust should have settled long ago. Fold in.

Just a few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Lian went to the Ministry of Officials to get the documents and official uniforms, etc., and took Wang Xifeng and two servants to the south by boat to take up his post. For a while, the mansion felt a little deserted.

Wang Xifeng handed over the matter of the housekeeper to Xing Shi and Li Wan before New Year's Eve. Xing Shi got the account book match and the key, and almost walked up and down, but Li Wan remained silent. After she entered, she never touched the housekeeper. Things, now that I have this errand, I understand in my heart that it is actually just a transition. She is representing the second room to make a difference and prevent the Xing family from dominating and making trouble out of control. I'm afraid that the Xing family will be the first to make a fuss.

In fact, the Xing family is not really a person who can't stand on the stage, she is also a hard-working person, and she is also from an official family, but the father has not been an official for a few days, and the Xing family has not enjoyed the life of an official lady for a long time. Well, parents have disappeared one after another. The Xing family is the eldest sister, and the siblings below are still young. She herself is not very old. How much family business can she keep under the watchful eyes of those wolves and tigers? That is to barely support the dignity of the family.

The greatest luck or misfortune of the Xing family was that she was selected by Jia's mother and became Jia She's stepmother. Even if she packed the Xing family's wealth into her dowry, she still looked very shabby, and she was still considered poor by her younger siblings. Doubting how much property the Xing family took away, each of them wanted the Xing family to take care of them with peace of mind. The Xing family was not human at all, so they couldn't tell what they were suffering, so they could only endure it.

Back then, the Xing family was able to barely support a few younger siblings and maintain the dignity of the family by relying on the leftover belongings after being plundered by the clansmen. It can be seen how good the means are, but she has never seen such extravagance in the Jia family. , and got someone to plot against him, and made him look ashamed. Since then, he never had a chance to show his abilities.

It’s different now, the servants of Jia’s family have been purged before, those who rely on the old to sell the old, and almost all of them have gone to dig coal in the black coal kiln. What's more, the lessons learned from the past are there. It is impossible for a family like the Jia family to be short of servants. Now these people can't do it. At worst, just replace them. Although it takes a little effort to train at the beginning, people from outside have no foundation, and if they want to gain a foothold, only those who are more willing to do it than the family have children.

Therefore, even if those servants may not think highly of Xing Shi in their hearts and doubt Xing Shi's ability, they still dare not neglect Xing Shi.What's more, Jia Lian and the others went out to work, and they don't know how many years they will come back. The next few years will depend on Xing's face, even if they are more courteous at the beginning, it won't be a bad thing.

Therefore, the Xing family really enjoyed the taste of being surrounded by stars, and almost forgot about the fact that Jia She always slept with those concubines.However, the Xing family did not have the courage to make drastic changes in housework and so on. They just followed the old rules. However, the Xing family originally came from a small family and knew the market very well. It would not work if the accounts came up with a few hundred pennies. Therefore, after only a few days in office, Mrs. Xing found out the tricks in the purchase and stuffed her companion into it.

Li Wan was rather sad, because there were not many people she married as a dowry. Before Jia Zhu passed away, she was angered by the Wang family. The maid and nanny who were dowry were all found an excuse to kick out, and Li Wan was still serving Jia. There are very few people she can use.

Li Wan was ordered by the Wang family to find out the Xing family. However, Li Wan has always been taciturn, and she has always had the temperament of doing more things than doing things less. After all, she is young and widowed, and others will only be more harsh on her What's more, Li Wan is also a little worried. After all, she is from a scholarly family, and she understands that even if Jia's mother really prefers the second room, and only wants the second room to win the title, but no matter what, it is impossible to fall on Jia Lan. Why should Li Wan do anything? What if someone else makes a wedding dress and offends others instead?

What's more, if the Xing family is in charge, Li Wan can still get a little housekeeping power. If the Xing family makes a mistake, maybe his mother-in-law will turn around again. Li Wan can't afford to take care of Wang's mother-in-law. What does it look like in other people's eyes? In Li Wan's mind, Mrs. Wang is a standard mean mother-in-law, who has always been picky about Li Wan.Li Wan didn't regret at all that he managed to get pregnant with Jia Lan in the year Jia Zhu passed away. If it wasn't for this, he might have to ask himself to be buried with Jia Zhu by means of Wang's methods.Now that Jia Lan is here, and Li Wan was determined to be virtuous back then, no matter what the Wang family did to Li Wan, it would be difficult for him to do anything casually. Only then did Li Wan have a place in Jia's family. Therefore, although the Xing family did it blatantly, but However, Li Wan was like an echo, no matter what the Xing family did, as long as Li Wan's interests were not harmed, then even if the subordinates had any ideas, Li Wan would follow suit.

Lin's mother turned a blind eye to this, anyway, as long as Mrs. Xing didn't do too much, she wouldn't say much. Now she is the old lord of the family, and she just enjoys the joy, entertains her grandchildren, and usually makes troubles. Let's talk about Wang's. How much else does it have to do with her?
