To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 15: The Red Mansion's Master's Rise 1
When Li Yujin opened his eyes, he was sleeping on an antique mahogany bed.
A pretty little girl was standing guard nearby.
The master woke up, and soon six maids came in one after another, some holding basins of water, some holding towels, some holding tooth powder, and three holding clothes.
Li Yujin (for convenience, he will be called Jia She from now on) lamented how this evil feudal dynasty could be so cool.
After washing up, Jia She changed his clothes and asked all the maids to leave so that he could be quiet for a while.
The room was filled with agarwood, which made Jia She angry. The best agarwood would be great for making medicine, but the spendthrift maid burned it?
I quickly put out the smoke with half a cup of tea. The smoke was really annoying. It's not like a girl needs to smell good when she goes out, right?
Now is the most prosperous time for the Jia family, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan are still alive. Jian still has a lot of influence in the emperor's heart and in the court.
The old lady of the Jia family had just passed away. Jia She was raised by the old lady, Sun, and they had a deep affection for each other.
Jia She couldn't hold on any longer and fainted in the mourning hall. Someone helped him back to his room to rest.
How could Jia She hide in the house for such an opportunity to enhance his reputation?
Don't let your stepmother put pressure on you.
Jia She was the son of the first wife, Da Shi, while Jia Zheng and Jia Min were the children of the second wife, Xiao Shi.
Dashi was the legitimate daughter, while Xiaoshi was the illegitimate daughter. After Dashi died, Jia She married Xiaoshi as his concubine in order to take care of him.
This is why Xiao Shi looks down on Jia She.
Jia She was raised by his grandmother and had little affection for Shi Shi, who felt that Jia She was a stumbling block to her son's succession to the title.
In the future, his son would only be able to own 30% of this huge family fortune. The private property left by his mother-in-law and the dowry left by his eldest sister would all go to this rebellious son.
Back then, the old Duke followed the previous emperor in expanding the territory, and he was the first wave to rush into the palace of the previous dynasty and robbed a lot of good things.
All of them were held in the old woman's hands. My eldest sister had also been married with a beautiful bride. But all of them were given to this evil creature. My mother and I only got a few pieces of jewelry, pens, inkstones, and paper from the old woman, while Zheng'er also got a few boxes of books.
The remaining manor shop was filled with gold, silver and valuables, which was the evildoer's warehouse.
Contradictions do not arise overnight. What is worrying is the lack of resources and the imbalance of distribution.
Jia She's mission this time is to change the fate of the Jia family being confiscated.
Jia She quickly crumpled up his mourning clothes, found a bottle of eye drops from his space, and dropped them into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes until they were red and rushed to the mourning hall.
Jia She was so distraught that he knelt in the mourning hall and burst into tears whenever a guest came.
He held on to Sun's coffin tightly, which stunned Shi. Jia Daishan stroked his beard with satisfaction.
The reputation of the eldest son of the Jia family for his sincerity and filial piety spread quickly.
Thinking about applying eye drops, Shi couldn't open his mouth.
Jia She, you are too young to fight with me.
After Sun's funeral, the Rongguo Mansion was exhausted. Jia Daishan submitted a memorial requesting a period of mourning, but the emperor refused. He submitted another memorial, and the emperor agreed.
Jia She paid his respects to Jia Daishan and said that he would release all the maids in his yard.
Jia Daishan was shocked. His eldest son was a womanizer, and the yard was full of pretty maids carefully selected by his wife. How could he just say he didn't want them?
We must listen carefully to what a ten-year-old child is thinking.
Jia She, his father also knew that his son had been confused in the past, always thinking that he was still young and that he could get everything he wanted as long as he relied on his father and grandmother.
These days, my son has figured it out. Although our Jia family is prosperous and flourishing, we are actually lacking in strength. If my son does not study hard and work hard, there will be no place for our family in the court.
Brother Jing can't do anything alone. His father and uncle are not young anymore. Who can his son rely on in the future?
My son has to support this huge Rongguo Mansion. These maids have been with me for some time. It would be better to reward them with a few taels of silver so that my son can concentrate on his studies.
The son even shamelessly asked his father for some personal troops. The people under his father's command must be excellent and able to motivate his son to make progress.
From now on, my son will only employ servants in his courtyard, and no other maids or women will be employed. This is just my humble opinion, and I hope father will agree.
Jia Daishan, his useless son suddenly came to his senses. This is a good sign. The child needs to appoint someone to serve as a maid in the yard. This is not a big deal.
He is my eldest son. From now on, the entire Rongguo Mansion will be handed over to him.
Jia Daishan, is this a manifestation of the ancestors? My eldest son, a playboy, is about to become successful. I must burn incense and speak to the ancestors.
Jia Daishan, you can think this in your heart but you can't say it out loud.
Jia Daishan, do you know how ridiculous you were in the past? Someone will send it to you later. You should study hard in your room and ask the teacher for advice. If you don't study carefully, watch your back.
While scolding Jia She, Jia Daishan asked his followers to go to his private storehouse to find the Duan inkstone with the Four Gentlemen pattern for Jia She to use.
Jia She drank a bottle of genetic modification liquid and began his life of hard study.
A top student is a top student. Jia She, on the other hand, works hard and never mingle with others except to pay his respects.
The guests of the school teacher Jia Daishan praised Jia She highly, saying that the eldest son was diligent, hardworking and talented, and his current articles were novel in conception and meaningful.
Jia Daishan, while modestly saying this evil creature doesn't deserve your praise, gave his son a rare ancient book. The Jia family is about to produce a scholar. This thing is only suitable for She'er.
Shi was furious. She thought her elder sister was born to be her nemesis. When she was little, her elder sister was the center of attention at home, while she was left alone at home.
When the eldest sister got married, she had a dowry so big that her hands couldn't even fit into the box. The stepmother was in charge of the household, and the father didn't care, so all the illegitimate sons and daughters in the family had to live in fear.
Fortunately, the heavens have a good eye. What's the point of marrying well? It all depends on who lives longer! After her elder sister died, under the manipulation of her aunt, she married her brother-in-law as a concubine.
My stepmother wanted to eat me, and my dowry was just a show. It looked good, but it cost less than 10,000 taels of silver.
The stepmother used the excuse of being pressed for time to polish and repaint the old furniture in the warehouse. She also distributed a pile of outdated clothing, and much of the seemingly nice jewelry was silver-plated with gold. Where were the few decent gemstones?
He was only given two small farms with poor returns, and although there were many dowry houses, they were all useless. He had no choice but to marry his maidservant to the manager of the Jia family to consolidate his position.
He had finally managed to get rid of Sun and was about to take charge of the family, but now another obstacle appeared.
Jia She, this wolf cub, unexpectedly rose to prominence and became interested in reading. The Duke's heart was completely drawn to him.
If this continues, where will there be room for the women in Rongguo Mansion?
Now Jia She's yard is so impenetrable that no feng shui can get in.
The staff left behind by the eldest sister and the old woman were sent out by this wolf cub to manage the private property, and now all he is using are the Duke's people.
He only had the title of steward left, and all he could control were the pile of furniture and utensils in the big warehouse and the money for the household expenses.
Eight thousand taels of silver for household expenses each year may seem like a lot, but it is used to pay off favors, so it is just enough.
The majority of the income from the Xiaojing Mansion's business is in the hands of the Duke. My mother and I only get a small share of the farm's profits. What can we do with that?
My mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, was a powerful woman. She couldn't even control the people she left behind, so they all went to join that wolf cub.
If my mother and I wanted to eat something new, we had to spend extra money to buy it. That wolf cub set up a small kitchen in his own yard and didn't take my stepmother seriously at all.
He even found an excuse: he got hungry easily in the middle of the night while studying, and it was not good for his mother to always prepare meals for him. He wanted to set up a kitchen in the yard so he could cook noodles when he was hungry. The Duke of Guo gave him a monthly allowance of fifty taels of silver.
The Duke of Guo had even gone so far as to set up a small kitchen for Zheng'er and Min'er. He had also given her fifty taels of silver as a subsidy. But who was he guarding against?
This wolf cub is on guard against his stepmother, afraid that she will poison him. His heart is despicable!
Jia She didn't care what Shi thought. He just felt that the original owner was a coward who was suppressed by a woman in the inner palace all his life and ended up with his family broken up.
In the original novel, the most outrageous thing Jia She did was to steal a few fans from Shi Daizi.
Compared with other members of the Jia family who bully men and women, he is a good person.
As for marrying Yuanyang, it was purely to disgust Shi Shi. He wanted to control Yuanyang and thus control Lady Jia's treasury.
Shi indulged her servants and gradually emptied the Rongguo Mansion, and used filial piety to oppress Jia She for his entire life.
The good man who was the Duke of Cheng was driven to the edge of the stable in the east courtyard.
Jia She's eldest son Jia Hu and his first wife Zhang died in mysterious circumstances, and his concubine Xing was a poor woman. His only legitimate son, Jia Lian, was raised in a wrong way.
Jia She gave up hope when he lost hope. The most crucial reason for the Jia family's misfortune was that they stood on the wrong side.
