Chapter Eight: Father, Kind, Son, Filial Piety, Zhenzhen, Fake Rong
Jia Rong sneered at Mr. Zhen's statement that he was not short of money, curled his lips and said: "Of course the master is not short of money. My wife and I are in need of money in the east courtyard. Our son just got married, and there are many people in the courtyard.
I don’t have any outside income. I only have to wait for about ten or two months from the master, which is not enough. Why don’t you invest a thousand or a few hundred taels, and after the cement is made, some daily expenses will be left in the child’s house, and the rest will be paid to the house.
.”
"Aren't you just asking for money after talking so much?" Jia Zhen thought she had seen through Jia Rong's thoughts, and just wanted to send Brother Rong away quickly, waving her hand and saying: "From now on, when your monthly salary reaches twenty taels, you can do it yourself."
Stubborn, don’t come to me about this again.”
Jia Zhen turned around to leave, but found that her left sleeve was still held by Brother Rong.
Jia Rong asked again: "My wife's monthly money?"
The impatient Jia Zhen felt as if she had taken medicine when she heard the mention of Qin's family: "Same, just like you, twenty taels a month."
After saying that, he was about to run upstairs, but Jia Rong didn't let go, "Master, why not..."
"Let go!"
Jia Rong was yelled at, but still had a smile on her face, and said in a consultative tone: "Master, how about this, how about discounting the increase in the monthly salary in our courtyard? According to the increase of 240 taels per year,
, ten years is two thousand four..."
"Everyone has his own monthly payment. Your twenty taels per month is not even a penny more. Get out!"
If Jia Zhen hadn't been happy today and bought some charming dancers, she wouldn't have said so much to Jia Rong. Now Jia Rong was pushing the envelope, and Jia Zhen was so angry that she didn't even want to say more and gave Jia Rong a kick.
Seeing the situation, Jia Rong had no choice but to let go and avoid it. When Jia Zhen's back suddenly disappeared, Jia Rong looked at the three words "Tianxiang Tower" on the plaque and showed a satisfied smile.
Don’t underestimate it. It’s only 20 taels per month. In fact, it’s quite a lot. It’s enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for a year.
When the laughter of the woman upstairs rang out, Jia Rong left here amid the frolic.
All this trouble not only increased the monthly income of the hospital, but also understood that Jia Zhen didn't like the work and materials, and would let her be stubborn at least for a short period of time.
The only regret is that the money for cement production has not yet arrived, and Jia Zhen does not want to pay for it.
I just hope that when Jia Zhen knows how powerful cement is, she won’t regret it.
At the same time, the thorn in my heart cannot be eliminated. Especially when she mentioned Qin Keqing just now, Jia Zhen's reaction was too suspicious.
"Sooner or later, the old guy will die in a woman's belly!"
When she got up the next day, Jia Rong went to Jia Zhen in a lively manner. She had nothing to ask about yesterday.
"Greetings, sir."
When Jia Zhen met Jia Rong, she was very angry when she thought that this guy almost ruined her good deeds. And she didn't see the person she missed about Jia Rong, so she was disappointed and angry at the same time.
"Why didn't your wife come over?"
"Forehead……"
The smile on Jia Rong's face froze for a moment, and she said coldly: "I was tired from traveling back and forth yesterday, and I caught a cold again at night. I asked her to sleep more, and I came over to say hello to the master."
Hearing this, Jia Zhen's face flashed with anxiety and she said, "Have you invited the doctor? I'll go see her."
Jia Rong blocked his way without leaving a trace, and said quietly: "My wife said that she would be fine if she rested for a day. Before she came, she specifically told me not to worry me. I went to see her because I missed my daughter-in-law, so I shouldn't have done it."
I refuse. But my daughter-in-law is a thoughtful person by nature. She is always worried about troublesome things for others, and also worries about what she has not done well. Please let me rest and rest!"
In fact, Qin Keqing was not sick at all. It was just that Jia Rong thought of Jia Zhen's appearance yesterday, so she simply asked her to avoid Jia Zhen. Even from Youshi's place, she said hello early and returned.
Men's pettiness in certain aspects is vividly demonstrated.
"Forget it, you let the maids in the yard take care of you." Jia Zhen stopped and warned, and there was nothing else to say. "Go to the library to get some supplements for your wife. I will send someone to give them to you later."
You send a few hundred taels of silver over there, and if you don't have it in your treasury, go out and buy some."
"I would like to thank the master on behalf of my wife."
Now there is enough money to develop cement! But when he thinks that Jia Zhen is so concerned about his wife, Jia Rong cannot be happy.
"Don't pretend to be here. I didn't take good care of your wife. I'll take it from you."
"You must be interested." Jia Rong replied respectfully. She still had to do the superficial work. Then she asked, "What did the master say yesterday?"
"If you don't come back, you won't come back. I scolded several old Taoist priests in the temple and they will never do anything to disgrace the reputation of our mansion again."
Ning Mansion’s reputation needs to be insulted by others?
If Jia Jing doesn't come back, no one in the house will care about Jia Zhen.
Jia Rong was also afraid that something would happen to Xuanzhen Guan, if Jia Jing knocked herself to death, or if the girl in the Guan was forced to panic, something tragic would happen.
The "Renyin Palace Incident" in the previous dynasty almost brought Emperor Sejong to his death. What kind of painful torture would make the palace ladies want to murder the then monarch?
Now Grandpa Jia Jing is also going down this road. He deserves it if it arouses public resentment, but Jia Rong has nothing to do with it.
"Are you really not coming back?"
"Won't come back."
A bunch of pig teammates, things that pigs and dogs fuck!
What Jia Rong was most worried about was another thing. What Jia Jing revealed in his words on the road that day clearly showed that Jia's family and someone in the palace were not on the same road. The ruthless palace man who could make Jia Jing jealous would not be his father-in-law.
Internal prison.
What I'm afraid of is that this is a huge pit, much more serious than the Taoist priest Hu Mian in the temple. What if Jia Jing suddenly dies, or if the incident comes to light, will it cause a chain reaction?
Otherwise, Jia Rong wouldn't bother to care about him.
I really wanted to bring a cannon and shoot Jia Jing and Jia Zhen together.
These two days.
Jia Rong always asked Mrs. Qin to avoid Master Zhen, and also took supplements from the storehouse and ordered the big kitchen to make some. She had done enough tricks. In her free time, she also asked Mrs. Qin to go to Xifu more and learn from Sister Feng.
How to manage the inner house.
"I've met Mr. Rong."
"You guys are here, let me take a good look around." Jia Rong received several people in the side hall. They are all old craftsmen recommended by Qin Ye.
These guys looked very honest and honest, they didn't dare to say anything, they just waited for instructions.
"Don't be stunned, sit down quickly."
But everyone didn't dare. One of them said: "The master is trying to break us. How can I dare to sit with Master Rong?"
Jia Rong really forgot about this. Although the world of Red Mansions has blurred the boundaries between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it still has obvious class separation.
An old craftsman named Zongcheng explained: "We used to work in the Ministry of Industry, but later got involved in some affairs and now we are doing business outside the city. It is our honor to be recruited by Mr. Rong."
Jia Rong was now extremely sensitive to being involved in something. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch. She asked, "What is involved?"
Zong Cheng sighed: "We working people don't understand. We only heard that a few gentlemen from the Ministry of Industry had something to do with the old Prince Yi Zhong, and we were also in trouble. Don't worry, we are all clean and white."
.”
Jia Rong felt uneasy and decided to find a few close people to investigate later. Before hiring someone, it is extremely important to do a background check. You must not be completely relieved just because Qin Ye recommended it.
