Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

How far is it from Jinling, the capital? Even if we take a short trip to Suzhou and Yangzhou, two or three months will be enough.

After all, Jia Lian is young and has a fear. Knowing that Yuanyang, who was favored by Jia Mu, was on the boat, and now she was a girl by title, she didn't dare to mess around on the boat.

Besides, Jiangnan accounts for half of the beauty in the world. Jia Lian had known that there were many beauties along the Qinhuai River, so he would have skipped most of them.

However, Jin Wenxiang and Jiang Ming wrote down all those who advised Jia Lian to recruit tricks. They were collected by the following ships and quickly sent back to Jia's mansion in the capital.

Jia's mother already knew that the Jia family was overthrown, and those who made trouble based on their merits were also one of the main reasons.

In the past, the Jia family only cared about honor and prosperity. Now they even dared to scheme against the emperor. The whole family wanted to behead their heads, but they were much more harsh.

She used Shan Daliang, Qian Hua and other men in charge to follow Jia Lian back to the south to settle the general accounts, and directly sent Lin Zhixiao and his servants to ransack the house.

Any extra copies will be confiscated. Find out whether there is any bullying of men and women. If there is any violation of national law, it will also be based on the distance between people.

The servants in Rongguo Mansion were frightened and no longer dared to be lazy and deal with the problem.

But Jia Mu was still unhappy.

If you don't confiscate your house, you won't know that those old servants really don't distinguish between master and servant.

He went out to eat, drink, go whoring, and gamble, and he committed evil deeds but it was recorded in the accounts of Jia's house.

If this is just one person, you can also say that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Who will have no trouble?

But the house was in chaos. If she hadn't overheard Yuanyang's voice, and who knew that Yuanyang was the root cause of Jia's downfall, she would still be living in a dream!

The occurrence of such a thing represents the dereliction of duty of the daughter-in-law in charge of the house.

From Mrs. Wang to Sister Feng Li Wan, everyone is guilty.

Mrs. Jia Shexing originally watched the fire from across the bank and watched the excitement, but then she saw Jia's mother making a "big fortune", and they were all stunned.

Then Mrs. Jia Shexing ransacked her house and took the lawsuit to the censor.

Just because the Emperor couldn't hold back Jia Zheng, seeing that Jia Enhou Jia She had given him such a "big gift", he immediately rewarded Jia She and Jia Zheng with a gift package for lax governance, along with a package of demotion, fines, and salary. The service made Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers suffer a heavy loss.

But Jia Zhen from Dongfu was promoted.

For this reason, the East and West Jiafu ushered in great changes. The relationship between the two families was divided due to political affairs. You and Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law no longer come to Jia Mu's house.

"Mother!"

Jia She was aggrieved. Only after he was punished did he realize that maternal love is touching, and he hugged Jia's mother and cried.

He had to sell his concubines for money, and his life was very hard.

If he hadn't made a fortune by copying slaves' houses, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

Jia Mu really didn't want to see him. He had a big beard and was acting coquettishly, so she didn't even look at him.

"It's okay, let's take third class! It's better than being laid off. You have relied on the merits of your ancestors over the years and have been dishonest. Now the saint punishes you, but it is for your own good."

What else can I say? This worthless thing was her own. What could she, an old woman, do?

As long as he tried his best, the Supreme Emperor wouldn't dare to mess with their family easily.

"But this drop is too much..."

Jia She was still aggrieved. He changed from a first-class general to a third-class general. Not only did he change his title, but also his money. The gap between the two is more than a thousand taels? If you can't get promoted back in the future, this big house can be taken back by the emperor.

Jia Zheng was also unhappy and felt suffocated.

He had been wandering around in the fifth-rank official position for several years, and now he had finally managed to escape the rank of Shangguan. He was about to take advantage of his current reputation to jump up a level, but instead of being promoted, he was demoted another level. His intestines were filled with regret.

Mother Jia patted her eldest son on the head, and when she saw that her younger son's face looked bad, she also tried to persuade him:

"It's good. Civil servants have a way out if they rise and fall. If they really rise all the way, it will be dangerous."

Since ancient times, scholars have looked down upon each other, and kings have been suspicious of others. Civil servants are like leeks, they grow one layer at a time.

Although the reputation of civil servants and officials is noble, it has reached a new height since the Song Dynasty. But this dynasty was different. The founding emperor had a military background, and he didn't believe in what scholars said from the beginning.

That is to say, the subsequent emperors were indispensable for governing the country without the assistance of civil servants, so their status became more stable.

Jia Zheng complained about Jia Mu and Lin's brother-in-law in his heart, but on his face he was respectful and did not feel happy or sad to ask the old lady to think more highly of him.

"Okay! It's really not decent at such an old age." Jia Mu pushed Jia She away and told Jia Zheng, "Write a letter to your brother-in-law and tell him about the current situation. Our family has suffered a loss, and we need others to follow suit." Make it up elsewhere.”

Jia Mu also calculated that the mandarin ducks had almost arrived in Jinling, and was thinking about her next move.

"Ask your brother-in-law Lin to help. Now that the matter has become a big deal, we won't hide it secretly. Ask him to sell the evil slave who went to Jinling far away. It's best if he never comes back."

Mother Jia remembered what Yuanyang said about the treasure land where crops were harvested three times a year. She had already sent people to discuss with Lin Ruhai and went to buy a large piece of land there.

There is not only the land of Rongguo Mansion, but also the homes of Shui Rong and other princes. The emperor also sent an army to manage it incognito. The Haifang Bureau formerly managed by the Jia family also quietly opened.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower to work there, Jia Mu sent Jia Lian, the mandarin duck, to bring in the first tranche of funds.

Now that Jia She's case has happened again, it can be used as an excuse to run the family, poison the women and maids who know the secrets of Jia's house, and send them there to do hard labor.

Jia She lowered his head and was shocked. It turned out that he had underestimated his mother. He only dared to sell one or two people secretly, but Jia Mu was a seller for the whole family.

Because Qian Hua was among the people who committed the crime this time, Jia Zheng's concubine Aunt Zhao was also implicated. If she hadn't given birth to a daughter and a son, and now she had become a member of Jia's family, she would have been sent away according to Jia's mother's wishes.

"I'll give you someone else to raise Aunt Zhao!"

Mother Jia remembered what Yuanyang said, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao had a bad heart and had harmed Sister Baoyu and Feng several times. Her family had always been tolerant towards her, but she ended up being a bad person.

Jia Mu pointed out a girl named Jin Xing to Jia Zheng, and packed another girl named Glass to give to Jia She.

"The people in your house are all pitiful people. Now that the saint has told you to stay still, go and get rid of all the people in your house! Ask the boss and glass to take care of you, take good care of yourself and repay the country!"

After Jia Mu made arrangements, she immediately served tea to everyone.

Now Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and Li Wan are all standing in the back house to behave themselves. Baochai Daiyu and other little girls are frightened, and she wants to go in to comfort them.

Jia She looked at the sturdy glass, but he didn't dare not accept it. If he wants to restore his title, he needs Jia Mu to provide advice.

If she didn't help him plead for mercy, Jia She wouldn't even be able to leave the house. He was punished by the emperor and had to shut himself up to reflect on his mistakes, and the time limit was indefinite.

Turning around, he saw Jin Xing, who was led away by Jia Zheng, who looked like a flower and jade, so he couldn't help but curse Jia's mother in his heart for being partial.
