The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 244 The Kong Family

To be honest, the marriage between the Lin family and the Kong family did not bring any substantial benefits except for the better reputation of the Lin family in Qingliu. Of course, Kong Jiayi's dowry is not counted, it is still her private house now.

But invisibly, the Lin family has benefited a lot. For example, the marriage of the next few children has risen to a higher level because of marrying Kong Jiayi.For another example, there is such a powerful in-law, which also made Lin Hai's time to sit on the Yan Yushi three years earlier.

According to the original book, the original owner only took the position of Xunyan censor when sister Lin was three years old, but now Lin Hai was three years earlier.

This branch of the Lin family's capital is all based on a single lineage, and it is also in Lin Hai's generation that there is a matter of dividing the family property.The wealth accumulated by several generations far exceeds what others expected, and Lin Hai is not a person who has no money. Although he has the nobility of this life, he also has the worldliness of the previous life.

At least Kong Jiayi has been married to Lin Hai for so many years, and her dowry has continued unabated. The money for buying jewelry and clothes every year is taken from the public account.The Lin family has always attached great importance to the relationship with the Kong family, so Kong Jiayi returned to her natal family after getting married in a real sense, and brought many gifts to the Kong family.

Don't talk about vulgar questions, nobility is only based on money, when faced with problems in survival, no one cares about whether they are nobility or not.

Besides, lofty people also have their own hobbies, and if they do what they like, it may not be impossible to make a good relationship.

Kong Jiayi looked at the big and small girls, daughters-in-law and women in the room, and said with a smile: "I haven't been back for many years, and there are so many beautiful people around my mother. I am almost blind, and I don't even know my relatives. "

"You poor-mouthed, how can you say that about yourself, nonsense." Although Mrs. Kong was scolding Kong Jiayi.But he was dissatisfied with the movements of his hands. He pointed to Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu and said to everyone: "This is your first aunt, this is your second aunt, this is your first sister-in-law, this is your first sister-in-law , this is your second sister-in-law, and this is your cousin Kong Mo."

Mrs. Kong generally introduced, while Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu stepped forward to salute.

Kong Jiayi's sister-in-law always exchanged a few words in a polite manner.Send a prepared meeting gift.The three young daughters-in-law are also polite.Look at Kong Mo again, she really is a beautiful girl.

Then the three new daughter-in-laws and Kong Mo came to visit Kong Jiayi, Kong Jiayi hurriedly asked the people next to them to help them up.Then send your own greeting gift.

When Mrs. Kong saw her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she naturally wished to watch over her every day. In the end, she heard Mrs. Kong tell the eldest lady, "Jiayi and her grandson and granddaughter can live with me."

The eldest lady at the side was not surprised when she heard this. Kong Jiayi was not yet married when she married in, so she naturally knew how favored this sister-in-law was.So he smiled and said to Mrs. Kong: "I saw that the Dongkua courtyard next to my mother was empty, and it was easier to clean, so I placed my sister, nephew and niece next to my mother."

Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, and seeing that there was some time for dinner, she said to the eldest lady and the second lady: "You guys go away, take Ling'er and Yu'er to meet uncle!"

"Yes!"

After waiting for everyone to retreat.Mrs. Kong held Kong Jiayi's hand for a good look, and then said with a smile on her face: "It can be seen that my son has lived a good life these years, and you have a good life. The heart of my mother Let it go too!"

"Mother..." Kong Jiayi took Mrs. Kong's hand and acted like a baby, "Mother, don't worry, he is very good to me." This sentence is definitely from the heart, Lin Hai is not just saying that he does not want to take concubines, but so After many years, I will use my own actions to prove it, so many years.There are more or less gossips outside!

But instead of machismo development, Lin Hai forcibly took a concubine.Instead, he said outside that it was his own reason for not taking concubines, not Kong Jiayi's.If Kong Jiayi hadn't given birth to Lin Hai's son, she wouldn't have turned a blind eye to such rumors, but for the sake of the Lin family's incense, she would have let Lin Hai take a concubine no matter what.

"Actually, I wasn't optimistic about the Lin family before, but since your father is optimistic about the Lin family, I can't help it. But now, it seems that your father has a good eye for gold. There are very few men like my uncle in this world. !” It’s just that Yan Shenggong took a few concubines, but because Mrs. Kong’s methods are good, she didn’t give birth to a boy and a half girl, so she didn’t have the confidence to fight against Mrs. Kong.Otherwise, Mrs. Kong's life will not be particularly easy.

Of course, Kong Jiayi knew how much Mrs. Kong had put in to find a good husband's family for her back then, her eyes turned red, "Mother..."

Mrs. Kong patted Kong Jiayi's hand, and said nothing.

"I heard that my aunt is now the censor of salt?" Mrs. Kong asked with some doubts.

Kong Jiayi nodded, but then asked, "What's the matter, mother, what's wrong with this official position?"

Mrs. Kong shook her head, "It's nothing, I just heard your father talk about it some time ago. If there is really something wrong, your father will definitely tell my uncle."

In fact, Mrs. Kong was really not right. The current position of inspecting salt censor is really inappropriate.But Yan Shenggong, who is far away in Shandong, knows that Lin Hai, who has been in Yangzhou, has not noticed it!

It's not that I didn't notice it, but I pretended not to know it!

Lin Hai also knew Emperor Xuande's intentions, so he was happy to maintain the current calm situation.As for the salt merchants, because there is a leader like Mr. Song who has received a lot of benefits, they are quite calm now.If Lin Hai keeps doing this, I believe they will spend the next few years happily.

However, whether this can be done depends on Emperor Xuande's intentions!

Are you going to beat these salt merchants, or have you thoroughly checked them out?

"Since my father didn't say anything, it must be all right! Mother, don't worry too much about me, I don't want my two sister-in-laws to be jealous of me." Kong Jiayi said playfully.

"You, your temperament has not changed..." Mrs. Kong smiled and shook her head. Although this temperament is a good thing for her family, it is always better for brothers and sisters to be humble to each other than to be jealous of each other. But being the mistress of a family with such a temperament, she seems a little weak, a little afraid of troubles and likes to calm down!

However, from the years of Kong Jiayi's marriage to Lin Hai, it can be seen that Kong Jiayi has changed a lot externally, and what should be strong is still strong.

This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Kong was not optimistic about the Lin family back then!The Lin family's backyard is not very clean.

"Mother, am I in front of you? By the way, do you think about Sister Mo's marriage?" Kong Jiayi asked curiously.Just like Kong Jiayi's status in the Kong family back then, Kong Mo, as the only daughter of the next generation of the Kong family, was also favored by thousands of people. Regarding her marriage, the Kong family valued her marriage more than anyone else.

If the daughter-in-law marries in, if she is not satisfied, she can clean it up, if she really can't bear it, she can quit!But when her daughter gets married, she is tossed about by others!How can this make the Kong family feel at ease.

Now Kong Mo is 13 years old and has not yet engaged in a marriage, so it's no wonder Kong Jiayi, the aunt, wants to ask!Although this age is still a bit young, but this year is one year older, and two years later, even if she is the only prostitute daughter of the Kong family, she will not look good on her!

Speaking of this matter, Madam Kong was also a little depressed. The man in the family she liked didn't like it, and the family's principals still hadn't made up their minds about this matter, so they said angrily: "I'm watching!"

After thinking about it, he couldn't help complaining: "You said that you have been looking at this marriage for three full years. From Shandong, to Jiangnan, and then to the capital, no one knows how many investigations have been made, but there is not a single one. into the eyes of your father and elder brother." Of course, Madam Kong is not thinking of finding one of her granddaughters at random, but the problem now is that the two fathers and sons of the Kong family are too demanding. Take a fancy to.

Kong Jiayi didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only persuade tactfully: "Father and elder brother, maybe they have their opinions! I won't let Mo'er drag her into an old girl at home."

Madam Kong sighed, she could only think so!

September 60th is the day of Yan Shenggong's [-]th birthday, but this is easier said than done. Yan Shenggong's [-]th birthday is simply impossible for his family to do.

The Kong family's house is not too small, but the banquet cannot be arranged at all. The [-]th birthday requires a full birthday, that is, all relatives and friends are present, and there are officials and guests. Kong Jiayi's eldest brother The second brother will definitely not be able to escape, and the official guests have to greet them.Even Kong Jiayi, a daughter who is already married, can't escape now that she is back, and has to help greet the guests.

How to set up the banquet, the Kong family has already discussed it, the front is the official guests, the back is the guest, Yan Shenggong's birthday is September [-]th, from the eighth day to the fourteenth day, the eighth day and the ninth day are the relatives of the emperor, the princess Princesses, concubines, concubines, etc., on the tenth and eleventh days of the lunar new year, the governors, towns and edicts of the lords, etc.; Several housekeepers and deacons of the family gathered together for a day.

Since August, the Kong family has been a little soft on accepting gifts, and when September came, they even accepted gifts from several warehouses.

Finally, the [-]th birthday is over, not to mention the serious master of the Kong family, even Kong Jiayi, who plays the side drum, is very tired.After a few more days of rest, Kong Jiayi resigned from the Kong family and went north to the capital!
