Waiting until Lin Ya's figure reached the door of the small courtyard, Jiang Long turned around and glanced over pretending to be casual, thinking that Lin Ya and Shui Lan had left together before, but when they met again, Shui Lan had disappeared.
Then Shui Lan should be one of the informants arranged by the Lin family elders to spy on Lin Ya. Lin Ya took the opportunity to get rid of him!
Considering that Lin Ya was so decisive and cruel, Jiang Long was not frightened, but felt quite satisfied.
If he just traveled to an ordinary family, he might prefer to marry an ordinary, kind-hearted woman as his wife. He is not willing to be mediocre. An ordinary, kind-hearted and gentle woman will not restrain him and have no worries.
He is definitely going to make a career, and as his career develops step by step and his wealth increases step by step, he can help his kind wife straighten out all the matters in the backyard with just a little thought.
But in the Jing family, the Jing family is a mansion of a wealthy family. Even some of the servants in charge of the mansion are quite scheming and clever. Moreover, the wealthy families are always trying to fight each other, and the servants will praise you and put them down. If you are kind, he will think you are weak.
bully.
It can be said that it is difficult for a woman who is too kind and gentle to gain a foothold in a wealthy family that has been established for a long time.
The best outcome is to be deceived by the slaves and live like a fool.
Building a new wealthy family is easy, but you need to pay attention when selecting people. Choose more simple and honest people. They can be a little scheming but have good conduct. But if you want to straighten out a wealthy family that has been standing for more than a hundred years, it is really difficult.
It's not that easy anymore.
For example, at least one-third of the slaves in Jing's family should have developed the temperament of flattering those who are superior and suppressing those who are inferior, adding insult to injury, acting according to circumstances, and trying to push others aside. And only these scheming people know how to please those above.
Position.
These people are divided into interest groups to maintain the normal operation of the mansion. If you want to straighten out Jingfu, what should you do?
Get them all?
That is absolutely not possible!
Without a suitable replacement, the mansion will definitely be in chaos.
A suitable candidate does not just have to be capable, but also has enough prestige to convince the public, and prestige is something that is slowly built up over time.
And now there is Mrs. Jing in the Jing Mansion. Some servants in charge are quite decent in front of Mrs. Jing, such as Zhang Jiang and Yao Chen. These people have been with Mrs. Jing for a long time, and they have already developed feelings for each other.
How could strong love be something that Jiang Long could just win?
The reality simply cannot tolerate Jiang Long’s drastic reforms.
Therefore, the wife Jiang Long wants at this moment must have scheming and means.
Only by being ruthless and ruthless enough can he help him gain a foothold in the house and gain a firm foothold step by step.
The group from Jialan Temple made Jiang Long know one more thing, that is, the current prince and Jing Mansion are not dealing with each other, which makes him feel great pressure. Likewise, the future mistress of Jing Mansion will also have to share the burden. In this way
If so, it would be even more impossible for him to just marry an ordinary woman who only knows how to be gentle and kind.
Mrs. Jing chatted with Yao's mother for a few more words, then asked everyone to leave, only saying that she wanted to have a private conversation with Jiang Long.
During this period, Delise sent someone to say hello to Jiang Long.
Mrs. Jing was not dissatisfied with Dai Lisi for not coming in person, she was a bit too upset.
Although the Jing Mansion has been silent for many years and has many enemies, it is not that it simply has no contact with other wealthy families. At that time, Jing Laohou and Jing Xiaohou also had some like-minded friends. The attack on Jiang Long should be
The word had spread a long time ago, and those people would definitely send people over to ask if they wanted help.
Delise is in charge of matters in the palace and is busy receiving guests and responding to them one by one.
It's true that I can't get away.
Yuchai and Baoping glanced at Jiang Long reluctantly before turning and leaving.
When Jiang Long saw that Yao's mother was about to retreat with Zhang Jiang, Yao Chen and others, he suddenly said: "Nanny, I have an ancient prescription here, which is quite effective in treating trauma. Wait until I write it.
Come down and take it to someone to cook it, and then send it to Captain Chen and others immediately."
Yao's mother had already obtained several ancient medicinal prescriptions from Jianglong, so she didn't think anything of it.
But Madam Jing's heart aroused curiosity, where did her grandson learn the ancient prescription?
But he didn't show it on his face, and he didn't ask out loud.
Jiang Long followed Mrs. Jing into a wing room. The maid had already taken some paper and pen and put them on the table, and was standing aside studying ink.
Walking over and sitting at the table, Jiang Long rolled up his sleeves, picked up a red pen in his right hand, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, and then wrote ancient medicinal prescriptions on the open snow-white paper.
Mrs. Jing had seen Jiang Long's handwriting when she was at Jialan Temple. Now she saw that Jiang Long's writing was like a spirit, the pen moved like a dragon and a snake, and the iron made a silver hook. While she was satisfied, she was also curious about when her grandson would master it.
Such good calligraphy?
But after thinking about it carefully, she smiled again. Although she was very concerned about her grandson's life and took care of her in every possible way, because Jing Jianglong was in poor health, she never supervised Jing Jianglong.
Jianglong is advancing.
She even watched Jing Jianglong practice calligraphy when he was a child. She was still young at that time, and she just finished writing.
She watched from the sidelines, just having fun.
But when she grew older, she had not paid attention to Jing Jianglong's studies for many years.
So it's not surprising that he didn't know that his grandson had mastered calligraphy.
After a while, Jiang Long wrote an ancient prescription, blew the ink with his mouth, and handed it to Yao's mother. He also seriously warned that this ancient prescription was very rare and should not be passed around easily.
This ancient prescription was actually taught to Jiang Long by Master Ma in his previous life. However, at that time, Western medicine was quick and effective, so Jiang Long just memorized it and didn't care about it. Now in the Daqi Dynasty, this ancient prescription is of use.
The place of martial arts.
Yao's mother promised that she would be careful not to spread the word and reached out to take the prescription.
Counting Captain Chen, a total of four guards were seriously injured and are still unconscious. They need to prepare medicine as soon as possible and send it over there.
"Ya'er was frightened earlier, and Du Juan was also very frightened. She was even more exhausted after running away all the way. Send two more maids to guard Ya'er over there, and replace Du Juan so that she can have a good rest.
." Jiang Long gave instructions again.
"Yeah." Yao's mother heard that Jiang Long was concerned about Lin Ya, her eyes lit up, she responded, turned around and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Jing was also very pleased that Jiang Long suddenly showed concern and consideration for Lin Ya.
In this era, the status of women was far inferior to that of men. Lin Ya had already married, so there was no way out. If Jiang Long had been unwilling to accept Lin Ya, then Lin Ya's life would have been extremely miserable.
At that time, Mrs. Jing's mother-in-law did not like or love the old Marquis because the marriage was granted by the emperor. She had the same experience, so she sympathized with Lin Ya very much.
Mrs. Jing waved her hand at this time, signaling the maids in the room to leave, intending to ask Jiang Long about the attack.
But at this moment, the maid guarding the door of the house suddenly announced, "The old lady, Hardy, Qizide, and several other distinguished guests living in the house have come to see me."
"Let them come in." Mrs. Jing was stunned for a moment before she said.
Outside the small courtyard before.
Hearing Du Juan mention Shui Lan, Lin Ya, who had been a little agitated by Du Juan's questioning, felt panicked.
The scene of stabbing Shui Lan and pushing him into the pool suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Fearing in my heart, I subconsciously clasped the little hands hidden in my sleeves tightly into a ball.
"She fell into a small pool and drowned." While Lin Ya was scared, she suddenly remembered her younger brother who was still in the Lin Mansion. The purpose of killing Shui Lan was not to get rid of the informants around her, but also to get rid of the informants around her as soon as possible.
Get rid of the control of the elders of the Lin family?
If Du Juan sees through her and sends back the news, even if the elders of the Lin family use their younger brother to manipulate her, his life will not be in danger, but he will probably suffer a lot.
Speaking of which, Lin Ya has an extremely tough character. Maybe as a woman, she has times when she is fragile, but as long as she thinks about her brother still suffering in the Lin family, being bullied, abused, and insulted, she will suddenly become stronger!
Lin Ya continued to walk forward slowly, replying, but her pretty face turned cold.
She knew that she couldn't appear unreasonable or weak at this time, otherwise Du Juan would definitely reveal flaws if she continued to ask questions.
"What?" Du Juan was shocked when she heard Lin Ya's answer.
"We fled to the pool together, and she was holding my feet underneath, so I climbed up the tree." Lin Ya's eyes suddenly turned red at this time, and she shed two lines of clear tears, showing a sad look, "I
Just as he climbed the tree branch, three gray wolves emerged from the woods. Shui Lan was frightened and was a little anxious when climbing the tree. As a result..."
Lin Ya's voice was choked with sobs, "As a result, Shui Lan fell into the pool accidentally."
"I stretched out my hand to pull her, but I couldn't!"
Du Juan's eyes were fixed on Lin Ya's face, trying to distinguish whether Lin Ya's words were true or false.
But Lin Ya's behavior today was different from before. She was much tougher and more changeable, making her unable to tell whether Lin Ya was telling the truth or lying, and she had scruples.
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise your brother, huh!"
In the end, Du Juan stopped pressing.
She and Shui Lan were sent here to monitor Lin Ya and had a private conversation.
They all agreed that although Lin Ya felt very sorry for her younger brother, and Lin Zhi was indeed Ling Ya's biggest handle, Lin Ya, who was married, no longer had any worries about her life. In this case, if the elders of the Lin family or the two of them forced too much,
So if Lin Ya really goes all out and no longer cares about Lin Zhi, let's not say what kind of revenge the Lin family will get, but their lives are definitely not guaranteed.
As the young lady of Jing Mansion, Lin Ya didn't even need any reasonable reason to want their lives.
Just find any excuse and have someone pull them down to clear the board, and they will have to see the King of Hell.
Lin Ya didn't know what Du Juan was thinking, so she breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this.
The master and the servant each had their own concerns and walked towards their own courtyards.
Back in the courtyard, the two of them had just changed their clothes when they heard two maids standing outside the door asking to see them.
After letting the two maids in, Lin Ya learned that it was Yao's mother who knew that Du Juan was also frightened today, so she was worried that Du Juan would not serve her well, so she sent two maids to replace Du Juan.
"Young madam, Mother Yao also said that Shui Lan has not come back, and you are missing a personal maid. I want to ask if you plan to have your family send one over, or if you want to choose one yourself."
A little maid blinked her eyes and said.
There are three levels of maids. The first-level maids have the highest status. They serve the master personally and help the master manage the collection of money, clothes and other items. Among the servants, the monthly silver is second only to the housekeeper and steward in the mansion.
Second-class maids mostly deliver messages and run errands. They can do some needlework in their spare time, which is considered more respectable.
The third-class maids have to do tasks such as sweeping, wiping the furniture in the room, etc., but it is not too hard, because there is a mother-in-law who specializes in heavy work in the master's courtyard.
