Jia Cong chuckled and chatted with Jia Rong for a while before sitting down.
There were too many restrictions in this era.
He was far from being able to do whatever he wanted like in the future.
If she didn't want to work, she wouldn't go. At most, she would find another one.
It's fine if you're married and don't live with your parents.
He could spend the money however he wanted.
But not in this era!
Even if you're married, you'll still be living at home.
With elders around,
You have to pay your respects every morning and evening.
Even if they earned money,
That would still have to be handed over to the public school!
Do you think you can open a shop and earn some money?
She thought too much.
No matter how much you earn, you have to pay it to the public school. I'll give you a portion every month.
If you want real financial power, you have to be in charge.
Otherwise, he could just have fun in his dreams.
Do some business privately or hand it over to others?
If he was discovered, he would be accused of being unfilial!
As for after a woman gets married,
She even had to stand properly in her husband's house for a few years.
Just like Sister Feng today.
Looking at the boundless glory and the control of the Jia family's internal affairs,
But now, when they were eating,
Sister Feng couldn't sit down,
He had to wait on Grandmother Jia, Lady Xing, and Lady Wang first.
This was not all.
After serving them, I still have to take care of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law
Men were slightly better, but there was a limit.
Jia Rong and Jia Lian were obvious examples.
Jia Zhen and Jia She would beat, scold, and humiliate their own sons.
As his son, he could not refute her and could only endure it!
Jia Zhen was even more ruthless.
He would even make the servants spit on Jia Rong's face...
Now, Jia Rong said two auspicious words,
Jia Zhen snorted coldly from the side.
Before he could say anything, he heard Grandmother Jia rebuke angrily,
"Who are you throwing a tantrum at? Cong geer earned a meritorious position and came back. Shouldn't Rong geer congratulate him?!”
Jia Zhen immediately stood up like a spring.
With a smile on his face, he said,
"Old Lady, I'm not throwing a tantrum. I just think that Brother Rong didn't say enough!”
He turned around and scolded Jia Rong angrily,
"Look at you. What are you saying? You've lived for nothing!”
"Go, say it again!"
Jia Rong trembled in fear.
He quickly stood up and was about to bow to Jia Cong.
Seeing this, Jia Cong quickly supported him and smiled at Jia Zhen.
"Big Brother Zhen, although we are divided into the Eastern and Western Manors, we are still a family from our ancestors.”
"The two Dukes Ning Rong even didn't differentiate between each other. After each battle, the spoils of war were used by each other.”
"Even if we moved the capital to build a house here, it's still close to each other. Isn't it for the sake of respect and harmony between brothers?”
"Although I'm older, I'm not as old as Brother Rong. How can I be so arrogant?”
"Now that we have inherited the title, everyone is just happy to eat, drink, and have fun. Brother Zhen, don't be angry.”
"I asked the soldiers to prepare gifts, but they are not as fast as us. They will only arrive tomorrow.”
"Although it's not a treasure, it's still considered rare. When the gift arrives, I still have to go to Big Brother Zhen's residence to disturb him!”
These few words…
Not only were Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng happy,
Even Jia Zhen was stunned.
Then, he felt that his face was glowing even more.
Although he was on good terms with Jia She,
But now, looking at the old lady's intentions, Jia Cong was clearly starting to be favored!
Although he was the patriarch of the Jia family,
But other than his son,
He could not control the two members of the Jia family in the Jia residence…
Now that Jia Cong had given him so much face,
Jia Zhen was naturally happy and said with a smile,
"Good! Cong Ge 'er's words were right, the Jia family's two manors were one family.”
"In the future, whenever you have free time, go to the East Mansion. Don't despise me like Baoyu.”
Grandmother Jia laughed and scolded,
"Don't talk about my precious jade. The East and West Prefectures are so far away, and it takes half a day to go there. How can I bear to leave my precious jade for so long?”
"Yes, yes, yes. The old lady is right. It's my fault. Baoyu, Big Brother Zhen will apologize to you in a while.”
The people at the table laughed.
Seeing that the family was harmonious, Grandmother Jia became even happier.
Even his eldest son's mood was no longer in his heart.
The table was filled with precious dishes.
As for the specifics, there were no more words.
Jia Cong looked at the table full of dishes.
Especially seafood and vegetables.
He couldn't help but sigh at the Jia family's squandering. It wasn't even spring yet!
Although there were more than 20 villages in the Rong Mansion,
There were also shops, real estate, antique shops, temples, and other industries.
But in fact, most of the income was first taken by the slaves everywhere.
Then, Wu Xindeng, the chief of the Jia family's silver treasury, and the Lai family had their hands all over him.
It would be good enough if he could earn eighty to ninety thousand taels of silver every year!
Among the eight dukes and twelve marquises, this could be considered one of the wealthiest.
The Shi family was even worse off than the Jia family…
"Brother Cong, come and try this dish. It was shipped from Jiangnan.”
"Now, even His Majesty doesn't have this kind of good fortune in the palace. Quickly try it.”
Looking at Jia Zhen's smile,
Jia Cong also smiled and thanked him for tasting it.
However, he thought to himself, This Jia family is really courting death!”
"There's no need to think about leaving. Other than being rebellious and unfilial, there's no other way to remove your name from the clan records.”
"With my current status, if the Jia family falls, my outcome will probably be worse than Jia Baoyu's!”
"We still have to think of a way to get the Jia family closer to the emperor!”
As he thought about it, he heard waves of laughter around him.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had finished all the green rice in her bowl.
Grandmother Jia smiled and said to Sister Feng,"
"Hurry up and get another bowl. In the past, the High Duke also had such a big appetite.”
"At that time, the bowl that the High Duke used was the size of a sea bowl. I didn't expect that there would be another one with a big appetite now.”
Jia Zheng was also stroking his beard at the side with a smile on his face.
In his opinion,
The Jia family was getting more and more prosperous.
