Chapter 14
Spring is a good time to fly kites. The grass is growing and the bells are flying in February. The willows are drunk in the spring smoke. Sitting in the Wenhan Building in the East Hutong of Xicheng, I opened the window and saw kites the size of rice grains floating up in several deep houses. It was too far away and I couldn't see it. Jia Cong did not rashly ask Luo Gaocai, Chen Baifu, and Tian Youfu a few times. Now he became more familiar with the chessboard he laid out began to become alive.
Luo Gaocai was a delivery shop. The nature of the delivery shop was similar to the carriage and horse shops in the Ming Dynasty and the Civil and Information Bureau. Chen Baifu was a reseller of the rice shop. Tian Youfu started his business and bought land himself as a landlord. The scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were at the end. The emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce has always been a common strategy of the feudal dynasty, but the trend of business and industry development was unstoppable. This is a historical trend. In fact, in the late Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants was improved, and scholars were not discriminated against when doing business.
"Three shopkeepers, what are the tricks of the following?" Jia Cong toasted: "Three, please keep your heart safe and secure in your stomach. First, keep your due compensation, and second, keep your wealth, life and safety. Although it is your wish, the "Dashun Law" clearly records that profits shall not exceed five points. Violators shall be flogged and will never lie. You are the victims. If you do not believe in the law, please refer to the law. Please ask local students to interpret it. When Taizu founded, the "Dashun Law" was a copy of the "Dashun Law"."
Luo Gaocai smacked the dry tobacco and glanced at the other two: "Brother Jia, after the Jia family's meritorious service, we only promoted the civilians to start a business, without power or power, and started a rash attack, just like the storyteller said, "I have lost my wife and my army." This matter is very important, and we can discuss it."
"Please." Jia Cong stretched out his hand to signal, patiently enjoying the spring scenery outside the window, without eavesdropping on the three of them.
The three of them turned around, and Tian Youfu's face turned gloomy: "I will not accept this revenge after all. We have established a contract. At the beginning, we were afraid of the power of the Jia family and swallowed it in our front teeth. Now a great opportunity is right in front of us. What do you two say?"
"You can have a chance." Luo Gaocai spit out thick smoke: "Old Chen, we were all delicious and delicious back then. Now that my wife and wife are separated, I have a lot of money to tell me, and I have no way to ask for help. At this time, it's just a chance to fight in the middle..."
"Yeah." Chen Baifu's dead eyes suddenly became flexible: "But... we must be careful of the young master Jia in front of us. We are all struggling. This young man Jia is very scheming. Don't capsize in the gutter and be sold by him..."
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
After the three shrewd people finished talking in a low voice, they analyzed with Jia Cong. Jia Cong warned his plans one by one and how to deal with variables, tempted them with interests, and moved them with reason. All three were impressed.
After the first move was finished, Jia Cong went to Zheng Jishu Shop again and said that the second part of "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" was almost finished. Zheng Yeliao was very happy and said that the first part was sold to the storyteller and went to the teahouse and restaurant to talk. The following is easy to talk, so Jia Cong and Sun Fu returned home.
Not only many girls, but the young lady’s monthly routine was handed by Wang Xifeng, and the kitchens were also within her power. Jia Cong’s meals were not leftovers for feeding dogs, but they were obviously tampered with the low level, so they would not have the money for the monthly routine. Furthermore, if he tolerated him, Qingwen would have repeated the mistakes of pomegranate, and the lessons of the past, how could Jia Cong capsize in the same river!
In the middle and late stages of Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng forced You Erjie to death, including the son in You Erjie's womb. Looking at her scheming and means, she also took every step of the way, occupying "ritual" and "reason". However, Jia Cong still found many of Wang Xifeng's weaknesses! Just say that after using You Erjie's fiancé Zhang Hua, Wang Xifeng crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, and killed them all, trying to destroy the evidence and drive Lai Wang to kill Zhang Hua, but what was the result? Lai Wang was afraid! The murder case of the feudal dynasty was not a trivial matter. As a result, Zhang Hua escaped and was not difficult to predict. Wang Xifeng's move was to bury himself a bomb!
And now, Lai Wang and his wife are also in Jia Cong's chess game!
...
The East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion is the residence of the servants. Jia Cong came out of the East Courtyard, and Lai Wang and his wife were in trouble.
After returning to the study, the bandits and arcade hall, Jia Cong discussed with Jia Huan again.
Do you win over Jia Huan? No, it is Jia Huan's biological mother, Aunt Zhao. If most of the battles in the Jia family are a silent firecracker, neither plague nor fire, and the thunder is loud and the rain is small, then Aunt Zhao and Wang Xifeng have escalated to a life-and-death battle. Aunt Zhao later invited Ma Daopo to death at all costs, and almost cast a spell to death Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. How can such teammates who fan the flames and fuel the fire be used without using it?
After discussing this and this for a while, Jia Huan returned to the Dongxiaoyuan with a slight look on his face and reported the message to Aunt Zhao.
Next, the legitimate mother, Mrs. Xing.
Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Xing’s daughter-in-law in etiquette, but she went to help Mrs. Wang lead the family. Will Mrs. Xing have any grudges? Of course, there will be, but it is not obvious now. Mrs. Xing has the added fuel to Wang Shanbao’s family, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will become more and more acute.
In the Red Chamber, Wang Xifeng punished Wang Shanbao's family's in-laws. Wang Shanbao's family was so angry that he immediately reported the message. What did Mrs. Xing do? She pleaded with Wang Xifeng in public! She shouted "Grandma Lian"! What's the reason for the mother-in-law pleaded with her daughter-in-law? To put it bluntly, this is humiliating Wang Xifeng in public! It's equivalent to slapping her in the face! Wang Xifeng was so angry that she was sick!
Mrs. Xing also mocked "Second Master Lian, Grandma Lian, who has one hand covered the sky." At that time, Mrs. Xing's dissatisfaction with Wang Xifeng was about to reach its peak, so why is this? First, Wang Xifeng omitted some omissions in protecting Mrs. Xing's face. She was more considering her aunt and aunt Mrs. Wang. Second, Wang Xifeng used her power to make money, but the money was just to fill her own pockets and did not respect Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing was greedy for money. How could she treat her?
Wang Xifeng, who is versatile and good at dancing, has all the mechanisms but cannot be calculated. These places are exactly what Jia Cong’s strategy is!
...
"Cong'er, do you have conclusive evidence? Feng Meitu is your sister-in-law. You can't say something nonsense!" Mrs. Xing showed off her mother's majesty and taught her a lesson.
"Big wife, how can you not know what your child is doing? Besides, if you frame your wife, wouldn't your child ask for trouble? You don't have the courage. If your wife follows her words, she will not only lose the disputes, maybe... In the future, we will also have the day to be in charge of our family, and your old one will be in charge of our family." Jia Cong spared no effort to tell his interests.
Mrs. Xing was shocked, but she snorted coldly: "Nonsense! My mother's family has no official military governor of the Beijing camp, and the commander of the nine provinces. Your uncle (Xing Zhong, the father of Xing Xiuyan) is also half-dead in Suzhou. I don't have any tricks, how can this family be my turn?"
"Madam, nothing is difficult in the world. No matter how powerful my cousin (Prince Teng) is, he cannot control the family affairs of the Jia family. Only family law can handle family affairs. What is important is that this opportunity will not be able to grasp this handle in the future." Jia Cong said.
Mrs. Xing looked at him for a little and thought over and over again. She had seen Jia Cong's intelligence and calmness for a long time. What he said was reasonable and worth a try. After considering all aspects, Mrs. Xing's expression relaxed. Jia Cong guessed Wang Xifeng's reaction one by one, and told Mrs. Xing how to deal with it. Mrs. Xing found that this child was like the roundworm in Wang Xifeng's belly, which was really terrible! She said: "Please, please go tonight, I will change my clothes first and then go, you go back."
Jia Cong withdrew, and now it was over. How should Jia She and Mrs. Xing deal with it was also something he had to consider. In the Red Chamber, Jia She beat Jia Lian and could not afford to be bed. Just like Jia Zheng beat Jia Baoyu, this era emphasizes the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and it is not uncommon for me to kill my son. He must avoid these situations, and Jia She married Yuanyang forcibly, was extremely debauchery, and blackmailed Shi Daizi... Such things can also be changed. Of course, you have to find ways to take it slowly, and you cannot do it overnight... As for Mrs. Xing, his weakness is obvious, not as powerful as Mrs. Wang. If Jia Cong can't handle it, then travel back to modern times.
...
During the day, although Wang Xifeng repeated the housework day after day, she did not feel bored. Her majesty satisfied her vanity of fighting for strength and being strong, and was about to change her patronage and pay her respects. Ping'er said: "I heard from the two old wives in Houyuan who were gossiping the two old wives in Houyuan, saying that her grandmother misappropriated the monthly silver from the official and put out the seal money. The monthly silver was delayed, and several servants complained about being dissatisfied..."
Wang Xifeng sneered: "Who spread it first?"
"Aunt Zhao, say that her monthly money is short." Ping'er is very loyal to her mistress, and if she is not loyal, she will not be able to save her life... When Wang Xifeng got married, Jia Lian also had a girl with a wife, and then all disappeared... (You can find the basis for the conversation between Xing'er and You Erjie in Dream of Red Mansions).
"They don't know how difficult it is to be the head of the family, so let them say it." Wang Xifeng didn't care much, and she became more and more secretly hated Aunt Zhao. Sooner or later, Yinzi money will be known. After all, there are too many people and no one is a fool, but Wang Xifeng is not afraid of these things.
If Jia Mu is the emperor, Wang Xifeng is just a trusted eunuch who makes the emperor happy. No matter how much the court ministers refute, how can they compare to the ears of the trusted eunuch? Those servants, no matter how much they complain, they will not threaten Wang Xifeng. They dare not speak out. Those who dare to speak will not shake her and will die sooner or later in her hands.
...
Candles were lit in the four corners of the upper room. The burning candles were like the tears of a beauty, falling on the lampstand, covering and superimposing, hanging on the vertical scroll of the north wall was a picture of a lady from Qiu Shizhou, who was as famous as Tang Bohu. The girls in the room were shuttled through and placed delicious dishes, plates, boxes, and pots, and were carried down in an orderly manner by the girls, silently walking and strict rules.
A happy scene emerged, and Grandmother Jia smiled and told jokes to her grandchildren. Wang Xifeng was very pleased with her, and she had almost no Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Wang had no choice but to speak. Mrs. Xing rolled her eyes without a trace.
After joking for a while, Jia Cong came in to pay his respects and said, "Old lady, many servants from the Western Palace, Brother Huan, Aunt Zhao, and grandmother, have an injustice. I dare to report to the old lady. I hope the old lady will make the decision!"
The atmosphere suddenly solidified, and Jia Mu was puzzled for a moment and said calmly: "It's Cong'er, what's wrong with you? What's the matter solemn, is it because you don't give you money to become a disciple? Let's talk about it quickly."
Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun, Li Wan...many eyes looked at Jia Cong.
"Old ancestor!" Jia Cong looked sad, no, it was a kind of grief. He pretended to raise his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes: "This person is the grandson's good sister-in-law. She deceived the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady, privately distributed seal money, embezzled the money from the official, and deducted the monthly money of his grandson, Brother Huan, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, etc., and asked the old lady to make the decision!"
"Cong'er, what are you talking nonsense?" Mrs. Wang was "not good at speaking". Although her expression was a reproach, she blamed her with a hint of "caring" tone, and she glanced at Mrs. Xing.
Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "It's really difficult to be a family. I used to be a family in my early years. Perhaps there is a place where Feng Yatou couldn't take care of her."
Wang Xifeng looked directly at Jia Cong with a few eyes. What tricks does this kid want to make a complaint? Will my ancestor listen to you? Don’t think it’s done! She originally thought that Jia Cong had compromised a long time ago. You still want to jump. How high can you jump? She smiled generously: "Old ancestor, Cong'er is afraid that he is not cured of illness and is in a mess. Since that's the case, my ancestor will punish me. I beg my ancestors to punish me and block their mouths."
Really good at acting!
Unfortunately, I, Jia Cong, are not only the protagonist, but also the director. Jia Cong said: "Old lady, there is evidence here for grandson!"
