Chapter 153 Opening the door
Just as the second bedroom cannot kick out the first bedroom, Jia Lian cannot kick out Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang either.
Since he knew this, Jia Lian would not forcefully separate the family. A life-and-death struggle may not necessarily lead to everything he wanted in the end.
Therefore, Jia Lian has only one purpose.
That is, first get the legal right of residence in the main courtyard.
This is righteousness. After today, the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion no longer belongs to Jia Zheng alone, but also to his eldest grandson.
Although Jia Zheng is still the master, he, as the young master, at least has the right to speak, so that he can handle family affairs in a legitimate manner in the future.
With this legitimate name, the right to speak in the family will depend on their own abilities.
When Jia Mu returns to the West in the future, she will continue to live there if she can. If she can't, who should move out? The consequences are self-evident.
This means that Jia Zheng is a harmless person. If Jia Zheng is as disgusting as Jia She, Jia Lian will only want to stay away from him, or find a way to reunite him with Jia She's brothers...
Therefore, Jia Lian knew that he would probably have to maintain this "mixed living" state for a long time in the future.
Jia Zheng and others may not yet know Jia Mu’s longevity, but Jia Lian knows that if there are no accidents, the old lady will live to be over eighty, and it is still early to die.
Seeing Mrs. Wang looking at him with complicated eyes, knowing that she might have understood his thoughts, Jia Lian didn't care and even gave her a simple smile.
Then he said to Jia Mu: "The old lady also said just now that since there is no difference between the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard, my grandson has another matter that he wants to discuss with the old lady and the old lady. ”
Jia’s mother felt a little tired. Since Jia Lian became an official, the family seemed more prosperous than before, but there were also many more things.
Every now and then, Jia Lian would always create something for her to make her unhappy.
After everyone was seated again, Jia Mu asked: "What is it, can you tell me? Do you want to invite your master to come in?"
"Don't bother me to come over. , It’s not a big deal, as long as the old lady and madam agree, I will go back to the master and tell him.”
“Yes.” Jia Mu nodded.
"It's like this. After my father passed away, my wife, sister-in-law, and sisters had to take a car to the East Crossing Courtyard to kneel and sit up and down every day. It was not very convenient.
And the old lady also ordered that after February 7th, there will beI will increase the standard of the elder's funeral, and then more and more people will come in and out through the front door. If I accidentally bump into my wife and sisters, how can I feel better?
Therefore, my grandson thought that it would be better to open a private door between the backyard of the east cross courtyard and the east garden here.
In this way, not only for my father’s matter this time, but also for my wife and the others, it is easier to sit up and save time. It will also be more convenient for our family members to travel in the future.
For example, when Sister-in-law You and others over there come to say hello to the old lady, they don’t have to go around the west corner gate every time. They can go straight across the courtyard from the east.
Of course, the most important thing is to facilitate myself. I thought that after my father’s funeral was completed, I would circle a piece of land in the east cross courtyard and build a place for myself to practice martial arts. place. In this case, there is no need to make so much noise every day in the study room next to Rongxi Hall, disturbing the master and his wife.
What do you think, old lady? "
As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jia Baoyu clapped his hands happily before others said anything.
"Okay, that's it. I used to walk from here every day. West Point Gate, if you go there by car, it will be very troublesome to go back and forth.
If a private door is opened in Dongyuan, Sister Lin and I can go directly behind my wife’s house and go to pay homage to the great master.
Brother Lian’s consideration is really appropriate! "
Jia Baoyu has said so, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have no room to refuse.
I just said that the two sides are one family. If they refuse to open the door to both sides now, Doesn’t it make Jia Lian suspect that they are not sincere?
But Mrs. Wang immediately thought of the opportunity to win back the game. She said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, Lian'er's consideration does make some sense. Yes, that's all. As long as it's convenient for the old lady to go there, it's time to open a door. "
Seeing Jia Mu nodding, Mrs. Wang continued: "However, the old lady just said that the two sides were originally a family, and the eldest master used to be here.
Now that the eldest master is gone, Lian'er doesn't have to move there. What do the dozens of people over there say? Also, how each year is divided into years..."
Mrs. Wang knew that she had suffered a hidden disadvantage, and thought that since Jia Lian lived here at home, shouldn't she also live in the East Cross Courtyard? Under the jurisdiction of the big family?
Don’t underestimate the East Crossing Courtyard. It used to be the majority of the garden of Rongguo Mansion, and the total ground area accounted for four to one-fifth of the entire Rongguo Mansion!
Since Lian’er wants to divide the things here, then Dongkuaoyuan 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 at home to change things, I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion, waiting for Jia Lian's response.
Jia Lian smiled and said: "What my wife means is that the dozens of people in Dongkuaoyuan will also be managed by Guanzhong in the future, and their monthly money, etc., will also be distributed by Guanzhong. In the past, , the share of money allocated to the elder by the official will not be distributed from now on, right?"
After all, Mrs. Wang was afraid of forcing Jia Lian, so she said: "Just like you and Just like Feng Yatou's courtyard, the house there will be yours to use in the future, but... you have been managing the house at home these years, so you should also know the situation in the officialdom. You can't make ends meet every year.
For the sake of all of us, it is better to keep this money in the official position to prepare for future family events, Lian'er, what do you think?"
Mrs. Wang kicked the ball back.
Rongguo Mansion is a super big landowner, and its annual income from rent, land tax and other income is very huge. The cash money alone is tens of thousands. The following people bring gifts and goods every year, which is even more Countless, the reason why Rongguo Mansion is so luxurious is that it is nourished by countless tenants and tenants below...
Although in the previous years, Mrs. Wang and others did not really follow the three-point rule. One of the quotas was given to Jia She, but it was still a huge expense.
Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that it was not a loss.
Although Jia Lian forced them not to admit the family separation, it was a good thing that they could take the money back to the official.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang turned against Jia Lian's army, Jia's mother did not express her position. She felt that Mrs. Wang was right.
Since we are a family, all the money should naturally go to one place and everyone should discuss how to use it.
"What the madam said is absolutely right, just do what the madam wants.
From now on, things over there should be handled according to the rules of the family. Don't do it. It's better to be special."
Jia Lian is not Mrs. Xing, so how can she care about the gains and losses?
What he wanted from beginning to end was just the land in the east cross courtyard. If he got it, he could do a lot more things.
As for Jia She looking at the equal share every year, what is it worth?
Mrs. Wang took it back, thinking she was taking advantage of it, but she didn’t know that everyone’s money was in one place, and she didn’t know who would suffer...
He built a martial arts arena , you can legitimately ask for money from the official position.
Well, it seems that it should be built as soon as possible, otherwise you may really suffer a loss.
Yuanchun should be conferred a concubine. If the Grand View Garden is still built at that time, I am afraid that the entire Rongguo Mansion will be completely hollowed out in an instant!
It doesn’t matter, this is something that everyone can take advantage of. And as long as his share of money is used, wouldn't it be considered his share of the Grand View Garden in the future? It's not too much for me to go in and take a stroll, right?
Fortunately, Yuanchun had not yet been granted the title of concubine at this time. Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng did not have enough confidence to dare to open a battle with him.
Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would definitely not be so easy to talk to today. In order to prevent him from making trouble, she kept retreating.
Mrs. Wang was really surprised to see Jia Lian agreeing so easily. She even felt in her heart that Jia Lian might not have bad intentions and was only thinking about her family.
So, he threw away most of his unhappiness and asked Jia Lian where he planned to open the toilet door.
Jia Lian told Jia Mu and others about the idea that he had planned for a long time. Seeing that Jia Lian's plan was thorough and sound, Jia Mu and others did not say much and let him handle the matter on his own. that is.
From the beginning to the end, no one thought it was bad to tear down the wall at Jia She’s funeral.
No one mentioned that since the two sides are a family, should Jia She’s mourning hall be moved to Rongxi Hall?
In the final analysis, reason and interests must be weighed against each other.
When Jia She died, everyone cried and that was all. Since Jia Lian, his son, has no intention of helping Jia She fight for his rights, Mrs. Wang and others will not take the initiative to mention it.
