Chapter 71 Mind(1/2)
Since the first generation of the Second Duke of Rongning, the Jia family has become the fourth generation to Jia Cong's generation.
After nearly a hundred years of wealth, the old Chen servants in the family have also been slaves for several lifetimes, and they all become old men.
I usually only stare at the master's details. If there is no rudeness, then there will be a stubborn topic of conversation.
Even Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu and others were furious about this, for fear that some of them would be bad and make people laugh.
Jia Cong, who was beaten by East Road Court before, and his background, naturally became a laughing stock among the people and mocked him in all kinds of ways.
But on the other hand, they are very eye-catching and are accustomed to playing high and slashing low.
Seeing that Jia Cong was so respectful to Jia Zheng, he became the Grand Sikong of the dynasty. The most important thing was that even Jia Mu had spoken, and seeing that she was about to turn over, they all began to change their positions.
Of course, there is no question of kneeling down and licking, but they just have the etiquette they should do. If they have done enough on the surface, they will not be afraid that Jia Congqiu will settle the score later.
After all, Rong Mansion has been rich for a hundred years, and the rules that should be set long ago.
The people in the house talked about the old lady Jia, Jia Zheng and his wife, and Wang Xifeng and his wife. The power structure has been fixed. Even if Jia Cong changed his identity, he would not be able to take care of them.
So it's mostly a formality.
In addition, there are some people who are icing on the cake, and they are all here today.
They are all very prominent families among the servants in the mansion, such as the Wu family, the Qian family, the Zhou family, the Yu family, etc.
The huge Rong Mansion has three or four hundred mouths on the top, bottom, inside and outside, all kinds of things and all living beings.
Faced with these people, Jia Cong was not easy to slacken.
If you think that you are the master, you can shout and insult your servants and wives at will, that is too much thought.
The only one in the Jia family who can really do whatever they want and ignore him if he wants to ignore him is only Jia Mu, and everyone else is bound by the rules.
When they meet older slaves and nanny, their masters will give them a little decent, and Jia Cong is no exception.
After politely dealing with the waves of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Jia Cong felt sweat faintly on his forehead, and there was also a lot of things in the study room of Mo Zhuyuan.
They are not expensive, they are mostly gadgets, such as the four treasures of the study.
The most expensive gift is a book from Shihantang sent by Wu Xindeng's family.
In addition to the Lai family giving away a Qingwen, his family gift is the most important.
After seeing Wu Xindeng's house away, Jia Cong looked at the book box in his hand, and his smile disappeared and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Including the wax for the first time, these are two gifts.
Last time was a timely help, but this time it was the icing on the cake...
"Third Master!"
Like the little squirrel, Xiaohong and Chunyan, who had been putting gifts in the house many times, saw the surging crowd of gift-giving people finally quiet, and their eyes were brightly looked at Jia Cong.
Juan'er, Mi'er, Xiaozhu and Qiuzhu all looked at Jia Cong with a giggle.
Mozhuyuan has never been so glorious!
There are walls with air leakage everywhere in Rong Mansion, and the secrets cannot be kept.
Because Jia Cong was beaten, Jia Zheng was furious and fell on the bed. He then alarmed Jia Mu and called Mrs. Jia Shexing to punish her to kneel down and kowtow.
From then on, Jia Cong was not allowed to interfere in Jia She and his wife. Jia Cong also went to the Imperial College with Jia Baoyu to study.
These things were useless even for a meal, and they spread throughout the Jia Mansion.
It was also vivid, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes...
From then on, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jia Cong lost the East Road Court bullying and dragged his feet, and then joined the Imperial College, and his steadily official could not escape in the future.
Coupled with the importance of Yansheng Gong and Dasikong, the future will inevitably be limitless.
Jia Cong transformed from a concubine's son who was no one cared about and laughed at by everyone to a serious master of the Jia family.
Jia Cong himself did not change much about such changes.
Because he always knew that his real crisis was never the male and female couple in the East Road Court.
But Xiaohong, Chunyan and others were so happy that they were extremely happy, and their hearts were as sweet as honey.
The smiles of each mouth cannot be closed at all.
Even Qingwen, who was standing on the platform at the door and standing a little restrained, had a smile on her fresh and beautiful face.
Looking at these smiling faces and pairs of bright eyes, Jia Cong's mouth bent and was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Hongchunyan's eyes falling at the door behind again.
A faint disgust of eyes...
Jia Cong turned his head and saw a humble woman with a flattering and kitschy smile on her face, nodding and bowing, standing inside at the threshold and looking inside.
Seeing this person, Jia Cong's pupils shrank slightly.
He recognized this person, named Gui Pozi, and his family worked in the kitchen of East Road Courtyard.
During the more than two months he was banned, this Gui Ma Zi threw in two moldy steamed buns every now and then, and would sarcastically say something disgusting outside the door.
Extremely unpleasant.
But she didn't expect that she would come here today.
However, when thinking of her duties, for a moment, Jia Cong's smile that had just become cold and warm again...
He was a little surprised that he could do this...
He seemed to have completely forgotten the grudges he had at the beginning and smiled and said, "Why is Madam Gui coming?"
Seeing Jia Cong's appearance, the lady Gui was also "flattered" and said incoherently: "I...I'll treat you to the third master...I'm here to treat you to you!"
As he said that, he took out a purse from his arms, untied the tether, poured out about five taels of silver, and held it in front of Jia Cong like a treasure, and said in a more flattering expression: "The old woman had made lard fascinated and was lazy by the third master. It's really damn! This is the little intention of the old woman's family. I just want the third master to accept it and give us a good face..."
Jia Cong said seriously: "Hey, the nanny is talking. I know that the nanny has no choice but to be coerced and has to do so. Otherwise, the nanny's family will not be beneficial.
Furthermore, if I hadn't had a nanny delivering food in the rockery that day, I was afraid I wouldn't have survived today.
I have always remembered the great kindness of the nanny, and I can’t ask for the nanny’s money.
Put it away quickly and let people know, it’s time to say that I’m frivolous and ungrateful.
When Mrs. Gui heard this, she felt confused and moved.
Of course, she was moved by herself, and she almost believed that she had done good deeds.
Of course, she couldn't bear to give these five taels of silver, but the whole family was thinking about offending Jia Cong at the time. He was about to turn over. Although he couldn't reach the East Road Court for a while, if Jia Cong became an official, it would be too late.
Only then did you grit your teeth to save money from disaster.
Now seeing Jia Cong as "naive" as Jia Cong, Mrs. Gui was both happy and despised. She felt that she was really amazing. She also made people thank her for bullying. She pretended to give it twice on the surface, and then put the money back into her purse and hid it in her arms.
When he was about to say goodbye, Jia Cong asked with concern: "Madam, is it sweet to eat with the master and his wife recently?"
When Mrs. Gui heard this, she looked at Jia Cong and could no longer suppress the look of looking at the fool. She couldn't control her mouth and couldn't help asking: "Third Master, do you still care if the master and wife use the food to be sweet?"
Jia Cong said seriously: "The body and hair are received by my parents. I am raised by my parents. Filial piety is greater than that of heaven. How dare I not care about it?"
Mrs. Gui almost laughed and said with a strange expression: "Yes, yes, yes, what the third master said is very... By the way, the master and wife are sweet when they eat, why isn't it sweet?"
Jia Cong laughed and said, "The master asked the nanny's family to take charge of the kitchen. It seems that the nanny's family cooks the most to the taste of the nanny's family."
When the lady Gui heard this, she immediately said proudly: "Third Master is saying this. My wife loves eating sesame oil mixed with eggplants made by the old lady. She will be unhappy if she doesn't eat this dish any day."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, nanny...whether the master?"
Po Gui said: "The master likes to eat salted immortal fruits made by my family, and they are also pickled with the secret recipe passed down from the family.
The master loves to drink two cups of this kind of immortal fruit every day, which is both nourishing and nourishing, and he will never be separated for a day!”
The fruit of immortality is peanuts...
Jia Cong nodded slightly when he heard this, lowered his eyes and said, "The nanny's family has such a good job. I think the wife will not be stingy. She will definitely give you enough money."
Maybe she was worried that Jia Cong would ask her for money again, but when she heard this, Pooh Gui complained in front of him. She only heard her cry and said, "God, Master, I really want to be beautiful, give me enough money?
There is only a little money in January. If our family didn’t go to the farm market outside Jinguangmen early in the morning every day and pick some cheap vegetables, we would have to add some of them in it!”
Jia Cong raised his eyes, was full of surprise, and said skeptical: "Can't you? Madam was joking."
Pooh Gui jumped and said, "Why can't you? If you eat such a good thing, your wife will give you twelve taels of silver every month, which is enough!
Which kitchen here is not worth 40 or 50 taels per month? When encountering major events, there are 70 or 80 or 100 taels.
We only have twelve taels and don’t give you a penny!
If the third master doesn’t believe it, tomorrow morning, I will go outside the corner gate of the East Road at the beginning of the morning. The old woman and her family will go out to buy vegetables and oil!
Oh, summer is better, but winter is not out yet. It’s really cold, it’s really…”
After hearing her talk for a long time, Jia Cong sighed: "It's so hard that I can't ask for money from the nanny. Madam, go back and rest, and you'll have to go buy vegetables tomorrow morning."
When Mrs. Gui heard this, she was still unwilling to accept it, but she knew that Jia Cong could not make the decision, so she could only leave with resentment.
At this time, candles had already begun to light in Rongguo Mansion.
Looking at the figure of Mrs. Gui leaving, Jia Cong's dark eyes reflected the candlelight, which was bright and terrifying...
Two lanterns under the corridor were also lit in Mozhu's courtyard. After Madam Gui left, Chunyan approached and said, "The Third Master is too kind, why do you still listen to her longing? She is not a good person!"
To be continued...
