Chapter 10 Tips
Jia Mu's Courtyard in Rongguo Mansion.
After returning from school, Grandmother Jia looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup and said nothing.
As the most senior and most powerful ancestor of the Jia family, she had never been led around by the nose like this by any junior.
before……
Although things are different now than before, even when the eldest uncle from the Dong Mansion was still alive, Shen Ning didn't dare to speak to her like this. Now she is bolder.
Grandmother Jia's brows unconsciously furrowed.
"Madam, the eldest sister-in-law is clearly targeting our Baoyu!"
She had to pretend to be virtuous in front of outsiders, but when she returned to her own family, Wang still hoped to fight for it, "Can you send someone to tell my eldest brother that the children of our Ning and Rong families don't have to go to the clan school to study?"
Did Shen Ning forget that she had another child in her belly? "Is that so-called "remembering the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past" something that our Baoyu can eat? Our ancestors worked hard and risked their lives to ensure that their descendants would live a prosperous life, not to let their descendants suffer the same hardships they experienced back then. Why is your sister-in-law doing this..."
"Then why didn't you say that then?"
If she had said it earlier, why would she be led by the nose by a niece-in-law from the next room? Jia's mother came to her senses and looked suspicious, "Is it useful to say this now?"
He is quite good at scheming against his own family, but his brain seems to be confused in front of outsiders, and he is always a step behind.
This is what Grandmother Jia is most dissatisfied with her second daughter-in-law. "Don't you know what your eldest brother is like?" Not only will he not stop the second house from doing things that would make it lose face, he might even add fuel to the fire.
Glancing at Xing who was studying the patterns on the tea bowl, Grandmother Jia felt even more depressed.
Come to think of it, she once had a wife who was comparable to Shen Ning.
pity……
Grandmother Jia sighed in her heart, "That's enough, Baoyu is weak, and I, an old woman, can't bear to see him suffer, so just push the responsibility onto me from now on."
It is possible to push it off, but Baoyu's expenses plus the donations from the three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, would add an additional one thousand taels of expenses a year.
One thousand taels! Mrs. Wang was so angry and heartbroken that she couldn't help but stroke her chest.
The eldest son of the family inherited the title, and in her opinion, all the money belonged to her family.
In fact, her two sons are more promising than Jia Lian.
Zhu Er is studying in the Imperial Academy and is taken care of by her relative, Lord Li. She will surely pass the imperial examination and become an official. Although Bao Yu is young, he is also a good student. In the future, the Jia family will rely on her two sons to support the family.
Shen Ning did this...
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she went back to the courtyard and lay down.
Mrs. Xing was not much better.
One hundred taels of silver, her monthly salary was only twenty taels of silver, this would cost her almost half a year's salary.
Oh my~ Mrs. Xing also lay on the couch and couldn’t eat dinner.
It was Wang Xifeng who, along with Baoyu, coaxed the old lady into smiling again, and then she returned to her own courtyard.
"Ping'er, check for the gossiping old woman in the mansion."
Feng Jieer has gained some new knowledge today. "Some of the maids and servants in Ning Mansion will definitely not be able to escape."
"Grandma, do you mean this isn't over yet?"
Ping'er was scared to death today.
"over?"
Sister Feng frowned, "Looking at Auntie's expression, this matter is going to cause a lot of trouble."
"But the old lady and the madam are not happy today."
Ping'er muttered softly.
"…My aunt almost lost her life once, would she still care about who is unhappy?"
Sister Feng sighed, "Just wait. If we don't deal with it tonight, there will be news tomorrow."
"Dealing with the maids and servants should have nothing to do with our Rong Mansion, right?"
“…”
Sister Feng glanced at Ping'er and said, "The servants of the two mansions are related to each other. If the Ning mansion makes a move, then judging by the temper of Auntie today, the Rong mansion will definitely not be able to escape."
So much money has been donated, and no matter whether it is the old lady or her aunt, it is impossible for them to go against that aunt on the servant's little matter.
"Then we..."
Ping'er thought for a moment and asked, "Should we give a heads up to the people below?"
“Don’t!”
Fengjie originally wanted to let someone know.
She can also use all of her aunt's manpower.
But...
"My aunt is a smart person. She didn't intervene in the past because she didn't want to. But not wanting to intervene doesn't mean she doesn't know what the people below are like."
Fengjie actually admired that auntie very much, "Sister-in-law You has been the housekeeper for almost four years, but look at today, with just one look from the auntie, those maids and servants knew what to do and what not to do.
If you do something small at this time..."
Sister Feng hissed softly, "Maybe one day I will die without knowing how."
That aunt really dared to do it.
Look at how clean and efficient this incident was today. Not to mention those who were beaten and punished, even the family that packed up and left would probably not dare to say a word.
Fengjie felt that she should learn from her aunt.
"We just need to talk about this matter. As for the rest... we can just deal with it as it comes."
Anyway, she has been married for less than half a year.
No matter what happened, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with her, "There are old ladies and ladies."
She stuck her head out of something that none of them could control... Qing was just waiting to die! "Feng'er!"
Jia Lian rushed in hurriedly, "Hurry, come with me to find the old lady and the madam."
"What's the matter?"
Fengjie was shocked.
The young couple was newlywed and in love when she suddenly saw her husband's face change color. She was afraid that he would be unlucky and beaten, so she looked at his butt while asking.
"Don't mention it. Master asked me to go to school too."
What? Seeing Jia Lian slap his thigh, Feng Jie and Ping Er were stunned.
"Am I good enough for studying?"
His family has a title, so he doesn't have to suffer the hardship of studying!
Jia Lian held Fengjie back and said, "Feng'er, I'm going to cry in front of the old lady, do you think it's okay?"
Is it okay? Sister Feng blinked and suppressed the smile in her eyes, "I'm afraid not!"
It’s good to study. If you study, you won’t have time to compete with her for the housekeeper’s power.
"The old lady felt sorry for Baoyu's hardship. You saw it too. She didn't want to agree at the time, but was persuaded by her aunt's words. In the end, she even spent 1,000 taels of silver. Now you go over and cry and say you don't want to go to school..."
Fengjie thought for a moment, "The old lady is reluctant to be angry with Baoyu, and she can't do anything about the rules that have been drawn up. She will definitely vent her anger on the master. You know the master's temper. If he is not happy, no one will be happy. In the end, you will be the most unlucky."
Jia Lian: "..."
There is no way out.
Jia Lian wanted to cry.
"Good boy, I think you should go to your aunt instead of asking the old lady for help."
Looking for aunt? Jia Lian looked at his wife.
"The school will certainly invite another teacher, but can an outside teacher take care of all the affairs of the school?"
Fengjie's eyes flashed with a special light, "Jiao Da can't do that either, then..., you can talk to Auntie and Brother Zhen about studying while managing all the affairs of the clan school?"
The clan school is now rich.
Even in the past, there was plenty of money.
"Or just take charge of all the affairs of the clan school."
Looking at the way my husband is, if he really wants to study, he will probably be beaten eight out of ten days.
Feng Jie still felt sorry for him. "If you, a nephew who is an official, go and ask her for help, her aunt will most likely agree."
