Chapter 52 The 52nd day of being reborn as Jia Mu

"In the future, you must also know what to do and what not to do. You are old, so don't act recklessly." The old lady had never thought of changing the eldest and second sons of Rongguo Mansion to correct their names.

At that time, she felt that it didn't matter. Not to mention that it had nothing to do with her, as long as she could live a normal life.

But later, Jia Lian inexplicably joined the army and even won a "third-class merit".

In addition, the Rongguo Mansion was fighting from top to bottom, obviously for power and wealth; another reason was that the second house was not legitimate, which made the old lady think about it.

But even if she wanted to change the two, it would not be easy to succeed.

Jia She rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Madam, you are joking. You see, I am not doing anything wrong now. But, mother, Xing has made a mistake now. Why don't you ask my concubine to be my equal wife①, so that there will be no one to manage my courtyard?"

The old lady: "... bastard!"

After all, she has been a mother and son with this cheap son for several years. With a roll of his eyes, he knew what he was planning. Just now, the old lady was still saying that Xing would not be able to manage the family in the future. What kind of plan could he have

if he wanted to have a "equal wife" now? Not to mention whether it is appropriate for the Duke's Mansion to marry a equal wife, Jia She's unreasonable idea made the old lady wish she could go back a few minutes ago and swallow all the promises she made.

The old lady was so angry that she had a headache. "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Get out of here, get out." As she said this, she raised her sandalwood cane and pretended to hit him.

Jia She hurriedly lowered his body and raised his hand to block his head. "No, no, old lady, I will leave now, I will leave now..." As he said this, he staggered out of the door in a hurry.

『“Equal wife” in ancient times, are equal wives concubines?』

『At first, they were concubines, but later they gradually became equal to the legitimate wife.』

『But there is no such saying in the rich and powerful families, especially if the wife’s family is powerful.』

『Da Sheshe wants to let the equal wife manage the household in the future. Didn’t the host say that it is impossible to let Mrs. Xing manage the household?』

『Mrs. Xing is a concubine, and her family background is also mediocre, so Jia She came up with this bad idea.』

『It’s too much. There are really no good people in the Jia family.』 『

Don’t say that. Judging from the Dream of the Red Chamber, Mrs. Xing and Jia She should not have much affection between husband and wife. She also helped Jia She to persuade Yuanyang to be Jia She’s concubine.』

『Is this a question of affection between husband and wife? I thought Jia She had become better, but it turns out that he is bad at the root.』

『It should be said that this is the real Jia She. He is bad, but he also has his shining points; but compared with the title of “Master of Rong Xi Tang” that he pursued all his life, the others will be ranked behind. Moreover, he could say it without thinking, which shows that he is still stupid. '

'With the host here, Jia She dare not do anything as long as he is told. '

He dare not, what is there for him to dare not? The old lady felt that she would be angry to death by this family sooner or later.

At this time, Yuanyang replied and asked: "How should the eldest wife be arranged?"

The old lady waved her hand, "Let her go back and tell the eldest master that he will take care of the people, and the good and bad will be counted on him in the end."

Yuanyang didn't know what the eldest master and the old ancestor said when she was away, but it was obvious that the old ancestor was very angry at the moment, and hurried to pass on the message and dared not say more.

The next day,

the old lady received news that Wang Shanbao's family and Ma Dao Po were all dealt with properly. As for how they were dealt with, the old lady did not ask, and the person who came to pass on the message did not dare to say more.

However, there was a good thing, that is, the doctor who asked Wang Xifeng for a safe pulse today suddenly found a happy pulse.

It is said that the pulse was disordered that day and it was not discovered. Now after a careful examination, it was discovered that Lian's second wife was two months pregnant, which made everyone very happy.

Even Jia She, who had been hiding in the house since then, ran out to see his daughter-in-law. Wang Xifeng had suffered a great crime before. If she had not been weak, she would have gotten up and taken care of Wang Shanbao's family and Ma Dao Po herself.

Now that she heard that she was pregnant, she quickly put these things aside, and her mentality became much calmer. She only thought about keeping the baby safe. She also repeatedly asked the doctor whether the nightmare she had before would have any impact on the fetus in her belly. Only when she got the answer of "no" did she feel at ease.

The family was busy during this period. When they settled down, it was the time to worship the flower god in the grain of grain.

The girls in the mansion rarely had such a lively day. They got up early, weaving willow branches, folding silk flowers, and tying ribbons... The garden was full of flying flowers like rain, just when spring was about to end and summer was just around the corner.

Taking advantage of this good season, "Tianxia Yipin" was open for business after trial operation.

The daily flow of people, birthdays in this family, banquets in that family, never stopped.

The delicious food that was only occasionally spread among the upper class in the past is now known to everyone. The common people can smell the tempting aroma and salivate every day when they pass by "Tianxia Yipin".

However, the people who come and go in "Tianxia Yipin" every day are all nobles and officials, which makes them stay away.

Since the opening of "Tianxia Yipin", the old lady has issued a notice in the mall, "Ding, in view of the anchor's self-employment, all dishes that have been redeemed will be closed, please be informed."

In the "Eat" column, all the dishes and desserts that appeared in "Tianxia Yipin" were instantly locked and grayed out, which also means that they will no longer be redeemed.

The old lady didn't care much.

But perhaps the business of "The Best Restaurant in the World" was too good. A few days later, Jia Zheng came back in a rage and found the old lady and said, "Mother, an imperial censor impeached our family for opening a restaurant and 'competing with the people for profits'."

The word impeachment was a bit serious, and the old lady's hands trembled, "What's going on?"

"The imperial censor impeached, and I was about to write a memorial to defend myself. Old lady, when... when did you get involved in such matters?" Jia Zheng seemed very annoyed and embarrassed, "I asked Jia Qiang, and it was Lian'er who got your instructions a long time ago. But you... you, if you are short of money, just take care of it..." "

Oh, listening to what my second brother said, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't run the household. How much salary do you get a month? This huge Rongguo Mansion would have been starving with your salary." Jia She walked in at this time.

Jia Zheng ignored him and said, "Hmph, although I don't manage the family, I still know that there are other things left by our ancestors."

The old lady has been doing well over the years, and before opening the restaurant, she had thought about what to do if she ran into trouble.

But when she really encountered it, especially when it was an "impeachment", this kind of official accountability, the old lady's timidity of the common people subconsciously emerged, and she panicked for a moment, "Oh no, the emperor knows about this, what should I do?"

"Host, don't worry, can't we defend ourselves?" "

That Jia Yun, I remember it was separated from Ningguo Mansion, and then we can say that the restaurant belongs to Jia Yun."

"Didn't you say before that it should be registered under the name of the servants?

" "When there is no question, it will naturally work, but it will be in front of the emperor, and it will be meaningless to say it out, because no one believes that the servants have the ability to open a restaurant."

"Then register it under Jia Yun's name." The old lady said decisively.

"No hurry, we have to make some other preparations. In ancient times, there was actually a concept of buying shares, but it was not as clear as it is now. Old lady, you don't have to give the entire restaurant to Jia Yun. When the time comes, add some of our modern systems and sign a contract with Jia Yun. "

So, a group of netizens made suggestions.

The old lady instantly felt relieved and felt much more at ease.

Turning around, I saw Jia Zheng and Jia She were already arguing furiously.

One of them was panicked because of being "impeached" and embarrassed by being pointed out as "competing with the people for profit", so he wanted to close the restaurant; the other heard that his future industry was in the spotlight, so he was anxious and refused to close the restaurant.

Therefore, they quarreled in a few words.

The old lady rolled her eyes and asked someone to call Jia Yun over first.

First, she signed a contract with Jia Yun and agreed on the shares, and then said that the family funded him to open the restaurant.

During the discussion between the two, Jia Zheng and Jia She stopped arguing.

The old lady then turned to Jia Zheng and Jia She and said, "In addition, since it is taken from the people, then use it for the people. In this way, I promise to take out 20% every year to benefit the people of Kyoto."

Then she looked at Jia Zheng, "Do you know how to defend yourself?"

Jia Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Jia She was a little unhappy, but when he met the old lady's eyes, he did not dare to refute loudly.

During this period of time, he felt that he would be in charge of Rongguo Mansion in the future, so he stopped being lazy and occasionally went to the government office to work.

In this way, the emperor really did not make things difficult for the Jia family and rejected all the memorials from the censor.

Only some people seemed unwilling to accept it, and there was also a fool who said, "'The Best in the World' is extremely expensive, and the common people

are afraid to come in. The rich are living a life of luxury and don't know the hardships of the people's livelihood." Although this is true, there are too many complaints and no one cares about it.

After hearing about it, the old lady specially asked someone to open a daily special at "The Best in the World" so that the people can also come in and taste the dishes of "The Best in the World".

In fact, the original positioning of the old lady was not an official. She hoped that these delicacies of later generations could be eaten by the people.

But it seems that "The Best in the World" has gone astray since its trial operation, and it has been full of dignitaries. Now the tone has been set and it is difficult to change, which is also what the old lady did not expect.

However, this matter was soon forgotten by the public, because Lin Ruhai was finally transferred to the position of Associate Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

One is from the first rank, and the other is the second rank.

Compared with the Imperial Censor of Salt Inspection, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a triple jump.

This time, Sanchun, Baochai and Baoyu went to Lin's house to congratulate.

There were also gifts from various mansions, and Lin's house was crowded with people for a while.
