The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 229 Obliteration
Jia Rong smiled and said, "Sit down and talk."

Everyone quickly sat down, Jia Rong sat in Lin Daiyu's seat, and Lin Daiyu stood behind Jia Mu.

People of lower rank had no seats at such occasions, not even Wang Xifeng or Miss Wang, and even Mrs. Wang had to stand and serve.

After Jia Rong sat down, he could not wait to say, "I was just drinking with the King of Shu and the King of Liao when I heard a fight outside and came out to see what was going on. It turned out to be the servants of the Rong Mansion fighting in the middle alley. I asked Baoyu to go over and take care of it."

It was obvious that the servants from Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion were fighting, but Jia Rong said that it was the people from Rong Mansion who were fighting.

The old lady was suddenly ashamed that she couldn't face anyone. Such a thing happened on her birthday.

In particular, the old lady herself knew how other people viewed her over the years, and this time she refused Jia Xichun to come because she did not want to make an embarrassing joke.

But I still couldn't prevent it and still caused an embarrassing incident.

The old lady herself could never understand why such embarrassing things always happened in her family.

It’s okay for the eldest son Jia She, but it’s indeed shameful.

But Jia Lian is innocent. The more I think about it over the years, the more I feel that it is Wang Xifeng's fault.

Although he thought at first that Jia Rong had evil intentions to harm Jia Lian, he later found that Jia Rong was really good to Jia Lian and helped him to avoid many disasters. Even when he sent people to visit Jia Lian, he found that Jia Lian was very grateful to Jia Rong.

Jia Lian no longer wanted to ask about the affairs of his son Jia Jian, whether he was Jia Rong's or not. Now that Jia Lian already had a son and a daughter, he didn't want to return to the capital to deal with old matters.

Wang Xifeng is indeed a person who can cause trouble, especially after she said that she was not afraid of rebellion, no one has forgotten it to this day.

Only Jia Rong could tolerate such a woman. The old lady felt that a large part of the Jia family's problems were related to Wang Xifeng, but had nothing to do with Jia Rong and Jia Lian.

Jia Baoyu...that's definitely fine. The old lady still thinks that Jia Baoyu was wronged and was harmed by people like Xiren and Xue Pan.

There is something wrong with Li Wan.

There is something wrong with my daughter-in-law Wang.

There is nothing wrong with Jia Zheng, and he does a good job as an official.

Several granddaughters are from good families. Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, and Jia Tanchun are all good girls. On the contrary, Jia Xichun is shameless and arrogant.

In recent years, when the old lady has nothing to do, she has been wondering why embarrassing things always happen in her family. She concluded that it is because of bad feng shui and bad fate.

The Rongfu Jia family has a bad reputation, and Miss Wang doesn't want her body and reputation to be tarnished.

"I'll ask Madam to ask the housekeeper of the outer courtyard to handle this matter and get rid of these troublesome people as soon as possible to avoid ruining things."

Not only did Miss Wang not give her body to Jia Baoyu, she also didn't want to be associated with Jia Baoyu in terms of reputation.

When the Jia family ran into problems, Miss Wang tried hard to distance herself from it.

Miss Wang is in charge of the inner house, and no daughter-in-law would care about those people outside.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Nothing, everything has been taken care of. I saw a lot of people coming today. Thanks to Miss Wang for taking care of everything, I'll let you take care of the outside affairs. Let's just listen to the opera."

The old lady took the opportunity to praise him, saying, "My house is full of troublesome things, but this granddaughter-in-law is excellent. She keeps the house in perfect order, and I can live a comfortable life for a few years with peace of mind."

Wang Xifeng smiled but said nothing. If she had known earlier, she would not have come.

How nice it would be to live a comfortable life at home like Qin Keqing and the three sisters of Youshi. At worst, playing mahjong and chatting for a day is better than standing here and suffering the humiliation!
The three women from the Wang family entered the Jia family.

Now, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng basically have nothing to say to each other.

However, Miss Wang did not ignore her cousin like her aunt did.

Beating a dog also depends on the owner.

Wang Xifeng's man is Prince Jia Rong, and the Wang family just wants to cling to this powerful figure.

No matter you sit on it or hold it in your arms, you just have to lean on it.

"How can my housekeeper's abilities compare to Sister Feng's? If Sister Feng has some free time, I will definitely ask her for more advice!"

Miss Wang praised Wang Xifeng.

But Wang Xifeng didn't like this praise and didn't want to be too involved with the Wang and Jia families.

Jia Rong said at this time: "How can your sister Feng be a housekeeper? You can go and play with her, but if you want to learn how to be a housekeeper, you won't learn much from her."

Jia Rong reached out to take the tea handed to him by the maid and took a sip slowly.

Seeing that Jia Rong didn't give her face, Wang Xifeng just smiled awkwardly, but she didn't dare to refute her man in public. Jia Yuanchun and Lin Daiyu couldn't refute Jia Rong at this time either.

The Three Obediences and Four Virtues must be observed.

Miss Wang took the initiative to say: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I think the management of the palace is very good. Sister Feng and the princess have managed the family very well over the years. It's not like I haven't seen it before, so how can I say it's not good?"

In front of Concubine Xian and several princesses, Jia Rong behaved as unruly as usual.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "My job as a housekeeper is to distribute money. If you have a lot of money, everything will be fine. Some people get beaten and scolded for 500 coins a month, while others look down on one or two taels of silver and slack off without working."

"Your sister Feng is in charge of a group of maids and old women who earn three or five taels of silver a month and have enough food and clothing. These people are constantly complaining and love to be lazy and nagging, but if they don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it."

"You can buy an obedient maid or wife with one or two taels of silver. I haven't changed her in these years not because I don't have money, but because I don't want to neglect the old man."

"The reason why people are so obedient is because they get paid a lot and they don't dare to lose their jobs."

"You are the one who really manages things here. In my family, I just give them something to do because I think they have nothing to do. You can't be considered a housekeeper."

Jia Rong simply ignored all the hard work of Wang Xifeng and Jia Yuanchun over the years.

All the hard work, all the dedication, all the housework over the years!

It's gone in an instant!
From now on, no one will say that they are virtuous and good at managing the household, or that they are smart and capable. People will only say that Jia Rong is really rich!

Miss Wang saw that Wang Xifeng had a bad expression on her face and felt very embarrassed.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng just wanted Miss Wang to shut up!
Jia Yuanchun also looked at Miss Wang and told her to shut up.

They all knew their master's character. As long as everyone kept silent, he would get annoyed after a while.

However, Miss Wang did not understand what the two women meant.

"I remember that last year or the year before last, she was the one who presided over the funerals of the three princes. I remember that she handled it very well at that time. The people there were not servants of the palace. If Sister Feng was incompetent, how could she have managed it well?"

Miss Wang had mostly had a negative impression of Wang Xifeng since she was a child. It was not until she saw Wang Xifeng at the funeral of the three kings that she began to envy her and started to care about the affairs of the Jia family.

The funeral of the three kings was just a boring chore for Jia Rong and he had no memory of it.

But for Wang Xifeng, it was the most glorious moment of her life.

Jia Rong said directly: "I am still in charge of that matter. I called on people from several departments to deal with it. Everyone knew what to do from the beginning."

"She is responsible for receiving the female guests. She arranges errands in my name. One more or one less does not make much difference."

"Although she has no merit, she has been somewhat hard-working, so I gave her hundreds of thousands of silver coins to spend. But it would be a bit ridiculous to say that she earned this money with her own hard work."

Soon Jia Rong looked at Princess Beijing and Princess Zhongshun.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "It's said that women have the ability to make money, but in fact it's men who make money. The Dai Wang family and several other princes' families in the capital have suffered a lot without the princes in charge."

With just a few words, Jia Rong wiped out Wang Xifeng's greatest achievement in her life!
I can no longer brag about this...

Wang Xifeng looked embarrassed and her red ears could be seen even when she lowered her head.

Miss Wang said hurriedly, "In fact, what we women envy the most is the Princess of the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety. She was able to give birth to four sons, all born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. No wonder others say that the Princess has the appearance of bringing good luck to her husband."

Jia Yuanchun wanted to cover Miss Wang’s mouth with her hand!

What are you afraid of?
Jia Yuanchun regretted coming here!

Jia Rong laughed and said, "That's because I have the ability. Except for the one who may have a bad body and has difficulty getting pregnant, the rest of my wives and concubines have given birth to many sons. It may be because of my strong yang energy that I can't give birth to daughters."

"My family has always been a single-line family, so it's good to have more children. But I'm not one of those people who bites off more than I can chew. Otherwise, if I marry a dozen concubines, I'll have more than a hundred sons in a few years."

"Even if the emperor listened to me, he would have made more than 20 women pregnant in less than a year. Unfortunately, I was in seclusion a while ago and didn't come out. Since ancient times, the imperial palace has been prone to having few offspring. Add to that the random treatments by those mediocre doctors and the endless fighting that led to this situation."

"Otherwise, the emperor would have at least seven or eight sons this year. I have been married for ten years, but due to the many affairs and my immersion in medicine, I have become rusty."

"When it comes to having children, it's mainly up to the man. When it comes to raising children, it's even more up to the father. Providing them with good food and drink, and having a famous doctor treat them, these are the keys to letting the child grow up."

"If we just rely on luck, there will definitely be a lot of deaths."

After a few words, Jia Yuanchun's contribution was also wiped out.

Is it because Jia Yuanchun has a big butt that she can give birth to a son?

no!
Jia Rong is capable! !
