The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 153
Just as the second room cannot kick out the eldest room, Jia Lian also cannot drive away Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Now that he knew this, Jia Lian would naturally not forcibly separate the family, and it might not be what he wanted in the end.

Therefore, Jia Lian has only one purpose.

That is, first take over the legitimate right of residence from the main courtyard.

This is righteousness.After today, the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion no longer belongs to Jia Zheng alone, but also his eldest grandson.

Although Jia Zheng is still the master, at least he, the young master, has the right to speak. Only when he handles family affairs in the future can he be justified.

With this legitimate name, the right to speak in the family will depend on its own ability.

When Jia's mother returns to the west in the future, she will continue to stay if she can. If she can't, who should move away?

This means that Jia Zheng is a harmless person. If Jia Zheng is as disgusting as Jia She, Jia Lian may wish to stay away from him, or find a way to reunite him with Jia She's brothers...

Therefore, Jia Lian knew that for a long time in the future, he would probably maintain this "mixed living" state.

Jia Zheng and others may not be clear about Jia's mother's longevity, but Jia Lian knows that if there are no accidents, the old lady will live to be more than 80, and she is still too early to die.

Seeing Mrs. Wang looking at him with complicated eyes, knowing that she might have read his mind, Jia Lian didn't care, and even showed her a simple smile.

Then he said to Mother Jia: "Just now the old lady also said that since there is no difference between the main courtyard and the eastern courtyard, my grandson has another matter to discuss with the old lady and the old lady."

Mother Jia felt a little tired. Since Jia Lian became an official, the family looked more prosperous than before, but there were a lot more things to do.

From time to time, Jia Lian would always make things up for her to make her unhappy.

When everyone was seated again, Mother Jia asked, "What's the matter, tell me? Do you want to invite your master in?"

"Don't bother the master to go, it's not a big deal, as long as the old lady and the wife agree, I will go to the master and talk to the master later."

"Yes." Mother Jia nodded.

"It's like this. After my father left, my wife, sister-in-law, and younger sisters have to take a bus to the Dongkua courtyard every day to kneel and sit up and down. It's not very convenient.

Moreover, the old lady also ordered that after February [-]th, there will be more specifications for the grand lord's funeral. At that time, more mixed people will come in and out through the front door. If I accidentally bump into my wife and sisters, how can I live with it?

So Sun'er thought, it's better to open a convenient door between the backyard of Dongkuayuan and Dongyuan here.

In this way, not only for my father this time, it will be convenient for my wife and the others to sit and sit, saving time, and it will also be more convenient for our family to travel in the future.

For example, when Mrs. You and the others over there come to pay respects to the old ladies and wives, there is no need to detour through the west corner gate every time, and they can pass through the courtyard from the east.

Of course, the most important thing is to facilitate myself, I thought, after my father's funeral is over, I will circle a piece of land in the Dongkua courtyard and build myself a place where I can practice martial arts.In this way, there is no need to make such a loud noise every day in the study next to Rongxi Hall, making the master and wife unclean.

What do you think, old lady? "

As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jia Baoyu clapped his hands happily first, while no one else was doing much.

"Okay, that's how it should be. I used to walk from here to the West Corner Gate every day, and then go there by car. It was a hell of a hassle to go back and forth.

If a convenient door is opened at Dongyuan, Sister Lin and I can go directly through the back of my wife's house, and we can go there to pay homage to the grand lord.

Brother Lian's consideration is really appropriate! "

Jia Baoyu said so, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had no room to refuse.

Just now I said that the two sides are a family, if they refuse to open the door now, wouldn't Jia Lian suspect that they are not sincere?
Mrs. Wang was the first to think of a chance to win the game. She said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, Lian'er's consideration is indeed reasonable, so let's leave it at that. As long as it is convenient for the old lady to go, it is time to start Just one door."

Seeing Mother Jia nodding, Mrs. Wang continued: "However, the old lady said just now that the two sides were originally a family, and it was fine when the elder was here.

Now that the old man is gone, Lian'er doesn't have to move there, what do the dozens of people over there say?Also, each year is divided into past annual cases..."

Mrs. Wang knew that she had suffered a secret loss, and thought that since Jia Lian lived here as a family, shouldn't the Dongkua courtyard be under the jurisdiction of the big family?
Don’t underestimate Dongkuayuan, it used to be the majority of Rongguo Mansion’s garden, and the grounds accounted for four to one-fifth of the entire Rongguo Mansion!
Since Lian'er wants to share the things here, Dongkuayuan can't count him alone.

When Jia Mu heard what Mrs. Wang said, she understood what she meant.

Knowing that this is something that must be discussed by Zhang Changchang at home, because he is not in a hurry to draw a conclusion and is waiting for Jia Lian's response.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Madam means that the dozens of people on the side of Dongkuayuan will also be managed by the officials in the future, and their monthly money will also be distributed by the officials. In the past, the officials assigned to the elders That amount of money will not be released from now on, right?"

After all, Mrs. Wang was afraid of pressing Jia Lian, so she said: "Just like you and Fengyatou's courtyard, the house over there will be yours to use in the future, but... you have been housekeepers at home these years, and you should know the officials The situation, every year can not make ends meet.

For the sake of all of us, it is better to put this money in the official office to prepare for future family affairs, what do you think, Lian'er? "

Mrs. Wang kicked the ball back.

Rongguo Mansion is a super big landlord. The annual rent, land tax and other income are very huge. The cash alone is tens of thousands. The extravagance of the upper and lower is to be nourished by the countless tenant farmers and tenants below...

Although Mrs. Wang and others did not really distribute money to Jia Amnesty according to one-third of the amount in the previous years, it was still a huge expense no matter what.

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that it was not a loss.

Although Jia Lian forced them to dare not admit the separation, it was a good thing to get the money back to the officials.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang turned Jia Lian into the army, Jia's mother didn't express her opinion. She felt that Mrs. Wang was right.

Since it is a family, all the money should naturally go to one place, and everyone discusses how to use it.

"What the wife said is very true, so let's do as the wife wants.

From now on, things over there will also be handled according to the rules of the family, and it is better not to be special. "

Jia Lian is not Mrs. Xing, so why would she care about the gains and losses?

What he wanted, from the beginning to the end, was only the land of Dongkuayuan, and he could do a lot of things if he got it.

As for the share that Jia She looked at every year, what was it worth?
Mrs. Wang took it back, thinking she was taking advantage of it. Don't you know that everyone's money is in one place, and whoever suffers does not know...

He built a martial arts arena, and he can justifiably ask for money from officials.

Well, it seems that it is better to build it earlier, otherwise it is really possible to suffer.

Yuanchun should be a concubine, and if the Grand View Garden is still to be built at that time, the entire Rongguo Mansion will be completely emptied in a flash!

It's okay, it's something everyone can enjoy.And as long as his share of money is used, wouldn't it be possible for him to have his share in the Grand View Garden in the future?
Fortunately, Yuan Chun had not yet conferred a concubine at this time, and Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng lacked confidence and did not dare to fight with him.

If not, Mrs. Wang would definitely not be so easy to talk about today, in order not to let him make trouble, she backed down again and again.

Mrs. Wang was really surprised to see that Jia Lian agreed so easily. She even felt that Jia Lian might really have no bad intentions and was only thinking about the family.

So, he threw away most of the unhappiness in his heart and asked where Jia Lian was going to open the door.

Jia Lian also told Jia Mu and others about the idea he had planned a long time ago. Seeing that Jia Lian's plan was thorough and safe, Jia Mu and others didn't say much, and let him handle the matter by himself.

From the beginning to the end, no one felt that tearing down the wall at Jia She's funeral was not good.

No one mentioned whether Jia Amnesty's mourning hall should be moved to Rongxi hall since the two sides are a family!

In the final analysis, reason and interest must be weighed against each other.

Once Jia Amnesty died, it was enough for everyone to cry and cry.Since Jia Lian, as a son, has no intention of helping Jia Amnesty fight for his rights, Mrs. Wang and others will not take the initiative to mention it.
