Although Xia Jingui's "Osmanthus Xia Family" is famous, he is still a businessman and cannot compare with the real wealthy family. Therefore, Xia Jingui wants to climb high and marry a wealthy and high-status son, so that he can carry forward the Xia family.

She set her target on Baoyu and had been observing and analyzing it for a long time.

Although Baoyu has a sister who is a concubine and is also a wealthy son of the Rongguo Mansion, in fact, because his father is only a fifth-rank official, Baoyu himself is not motivated in school, so he is essentially a white man.

Moreover, it is said that he is not familiar with worldly affairs and only hangs out in the inner circle. Many of his erotic poems are also circulated in the public, so his reputation is not very high.

As for the Rongguo Mansion's propaganda about "being born with a jade in his mouth" and "having great fortune", Xia Jingui didn't believe a word of it.

She just wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, give birth to a son, teach him to study and make progress, and be able to manage the Xia family's business.

This idea came to her at the wedding of her best friend who married an official's son, and now it has become deeply ingrained.

Why she looks down on the children of merchants is not because they are not as good as those from aristocratic families like Baoyu. Although Baoyu is white, the family's connections cannot be underestimated: for example, among the relatives of the Jia family are the Lin family, the Shi family, and the Wang family.

It is expensive, and there are many high-ranking officials who often come and go. With these connections, one can easily get twice the result with half the effort, which is not what ordinary merchants can ask for.

Therefore, although the method of relying on her son is a bit tortuous, as long as she has connections like the Jia family, it will be very easy for her son to be promoted to an official position in the future. By then, whether his son is studying, progressing, or doing business, she will be able to do it.

, and will not be hindered by the low status of the merchant, and everything can be realized.

Because of this, after Jinyu's wedding, Xia Jingui didn't persuade Baoyu deeply. As long as he didn't go too far, he just let him go. Instead, he just used different methods to win over Baoyu and make him gradually leave Xiren, Sheyue, Qiuwen.

, Biyue and other old people were replaced by Baochan and other own people.

As for Xiren, the eldest maid and aunt-to-be, Xia Jingui doesn't plan to move for the time being. He has to lend her hand to deal with She Yue, Qiu Wen, and Bi Yue first before he can deal with her, right? Otherwise, he has to wait for himself

Having established a firm foothold, he dealt with them all. With Xia Jingui's methods, it was easy to find excuses for them, and it was also easy to get rid of them.

Of course, Xia Jingui also loved Baoyu's handsomeness, so she flattered Baoyu at first. She also read a lot of poems and books, and she was able to talk to Baoyu very well.

If you're kind to me, I'll let him have his way in everything.

When Xia Jingui saw this situation, he also tried to keep up with each other step by step. At the beginning, the two people's spirits were equal. After a month, he felt that Jia Baoyu's spirit gradually became lower. One day, Baoyu and Baoyu

After several friends drank, they didn't know what to do, so they discussed it with Jin Gui first, but Jin Gui refused.

Baoyu didn't do much, but he said some harsh words while drunk. Jingui cried angrily like a drunken man, refused to drink tea, and pretended to be sick. Please seek medical attention.

The doctor also said, "When Qi and blood are in conflict, you should take medicine that widens the chest and smoothes the Qi."

Mrs. Wang frowned and scolded Baoyu angrily, saying: "In the past, when we were not married, I looked at you as gentle, but I didn't know that being married would be such a big deal, that you could bully your wife. She is like a phoenix egg, so good

It’s easy to raise a daughter, who is lighter than a flower. I thought you were a good person, so I married you. You didn’t say that you should be content with yourself and live a harmonious life, but you are still so cruel.

It's true that spending money on medicine now will be in vain." Baoyu regretted what he said and quickly used his usual method to comfort Jin Gui with kind words.

Seeing her mother-in-law talking about her husband like this, Jin Gui became more and more satisfied, so she pretended to be a little nervous and ignored Baoyu. Baoyu had no idea and just complained about herself. After ten days and a half, Jin Gui gradually changed Jin Gui's heart.

, I have been twice as careful since then, and my spirit has inevitably dropped by half.

Seeing that Baoyu had softened, Jin Gui smiled coldly in his heart.

But she was scheming after all, knowing that Mrs. Wang was the real owner of the second house. If she wanted to gain a firm foothold in Rongguo Mansion, she still had to fight with Mrs. Wang.

But she is a fifth-grade "Yi Ren" and she is also the mother of a noble concubine, so we cannot easily confront each other and must take a long-term approach.

On the second day after Baoyu got married, Li Wan personally went to Mrs. Wang and handed over the housekeeping rights: Even if he refused to hand over, how long could Mrs. Wang let her take charge of the housekeeping? Rather than being forced to hand over the housekeeping rights at that time, he should

It's better to recognize the situation on your own, take the initiative to hand it over, and still be able to live in dignity. Anyway, I have made a lot of money during this period, and now the house is just an empty shelf, whoever is willing to take over, I don't want to do it anymore.

Accepted.

Mrs. Wang took over the housekeepership and handed it over to Xia Jingui. Looking at Li Wan's calm expression, Xia Jingui knew more or less why Mrs. Wang couldn't wait for her to be the housekeeper. She also knew the reason. But in order to be in the house as soon as possible

To gain a foothold, she needs rights. But she is absolutely unwilling to spend her dowry to subsidize the house - the Xia family's money can never be used to subsidize a wealthy family, because it is like a meat bun beating a dog.

, there is no return.

Besides, that is the foundation for her and her son to settle down and live in the future. Anyway, what Mrs. Wang wants is just silver, whether it is her dowry or someone else’s property, what does it matter? Whose silver is not silver?

After Xia Jingui took over the government affairs for a period of time, he took the account books and went to reply to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, my daughter-in-law checked Yihongyuan's account books and found some problems, but... my daughter-in-law did not dare to make the decision without permission, so she came to ask for help.

Madam, please tell me."

Mrs. Wang was deeply surprised: "You are the mistress of Yihongyuan, what is there that you dare not make the decision?"

Xia Jingui whispered: "It's about Xiren and the others."

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "Their Xiren? Xiren has always been a steady person, what could happen to her?"

Xia Jingui took the account book in Ying'er's hand and showed it to her page by page: "...my daughter-in-law found that many things in Yihongyuan were missing. The monthly silver that the second master had saved over the years, the new year's gold and silver, etc. were all missing.

Even the rose dew and sweet-scented osmanthus dew given by the wife were gone today and gone tomorrow. The daughter-in-law became suspicious, so she took stock of them one by one, and after secretly checking for a long time, she discovered that Xiren, Sheyue, Qiu

Wen, Biyue and other maids often take the Second Master's things back to their own homes without permission."

Mrs. Wang followed Xia Jingui's hand and checked the missing things one by one. The more she looked, the tighter the beads in her hand were. Finally she couldn't help but said angrily: "These things without Wang's law are actually greedy for the master."

The things are here! Everyone is so excited that the whole family should sell them out." Then he said to Xia Jingui: "You have been married for a while. I heard that you took care of the house when you were a girl.

, Logically speaking, this problem should have been discovered a long time ago, why didn’t you come and tell me?”

Xia Jingui wondered: "After all, my daughter-in-law is new here and she doesn't dare to take more than one step. Even if she finds a problem, she thinks that unlike the Xia family's small family, Yihongyuan is under the control of Xiren herself..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted Xia Jingui and said, "Is Xi Ren in charge? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xia Jingui said with a smile: "Second Master is young and full of blood. There are so many maids in the yard. My wife doesn't dare to make a mistake. It will take a while before she can ask my wife for advice. Speaking of Xiren, it's hard work."

Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "Why did she work hard? She is just too big-hearted and thinking about shameless things. She is such a scumbag. I am really blind. I have promoted her in vain."

Xia Jingui just didn't know: "Mrs., is there some misunderstanding? Although Xiren and the others took some things privately, how can people like us care about such things? It's just a shame that they didn't report it.
