Hearing the words, everyone hurriedly looked towards the door, and sure enough, they saw a handsome figure walking in, it was Jia Jue.
"I have seen grandmother, father, mother, eldest wife and sisters-in-law and sisters." Jia Jue walked into the hall and bowed to everyone.
"Brother Jue, I'm stupid as a pig, I blamed you." Seeing him, Mother Jia couldn't help trembling.
Jia Jue quickly said, "Grandmother, you have a kind heart, that's why you mistrusted those cunning and shameless people."
Hearing what he said, Mother Jia blamed herself more and more, she burst into tears again: "If I didn't find out this time, I would have almost harmed my family!"
Jia Zheng asked Jia Jue, "Ziyu, is the Lai family really so rebellious?"
Everyone quickly looked at Jia Jue, waiting for his reply.
Jia Jue nodded to Jia Zheng: "Father doesn't know something. The Lai family has embezzled 10 taels of silver from the family for decades. This is not counted as antique calligraphy and paintings. Besides, the Lai family There are still a lot of lives in hand. Just now Jin Yiwei went to search the house, just a rough calculation, the family property is close to a million."
Everyone who said this gasped. They knew that the Lai family was rich, but no one thought that they would be so rich.
Mother Jia's face turned blue. She originally thought that even the Lai family's hands would only cost a few thousand taels of silver, but at this time, the amount of silver alone was only a few hundred thousand taels, which simply exceeded her imagination.
"Brother Jue, with so many murders in their hands, don't they all have to be blamed on me?" She asked tremblingly.
Jia Jue nodded: "It stands to reason, yes."
A simple "yes" completely shattered the slightest illusion in everyone's heart, and everyone's faces became more and more ugly.
"Then what should I do?" Jia Mu said in a daze.
Her words were meant to be probing, but when she finished speaking, she heard Jia Jue say:
"Grandmother, don't worry, I have already handled this matter properly, and His Majesty has already known about it. If there is no such thing in Jia's house from now on, Your Majesty will not pursue it anymore."
"Ah! Is this true?" Everyone was surprised and happy when they heard the words, and Jia Zheng asked hastily.
Jia Jue nodded and briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, everyone smiled happily, and the girls looked at Jia Jue with admiration in their eyes.
At the critical moment, Jia Jue was indeed reliable!
Xue Baochai couldn't help boasting: "Brother Jue's move is really just right. It not only punishes Diao Nu, but also protects the family. It has multiple actions and great wisdom."
She has foresight. After Jia Jue said the matter, she realized the profound meaning of Jia Jue's move. She resolved the matter directly through Jin Yiwei without going through the government. If it is handed in, it will not only balance the merits and demerits, but also win the emperor's favor, which can be said to be a success in one fell swoop.
Lin Daiyu glanced at her, then smiled at Jia Jue and said:
"What Sister Bao said is true. However, I feel that the third brother is very courageous. He handed over the wealth as soon as he said it, without any reluctance. This ordinary person can't do it."
Xue Baochai also glanced at her when she heard the words, with a faint smile on her face.
"Yes, you are right!" Mother Jia laughed, looking at Jia Jue with joy and relief in her eyes, "Brother Jue is a good person, wise, courageous, and cunning. Do something about it."
She looked around and said suddenly:
"Recently there have been a lot of things going on in the mansion. I'm getting old and my body is useless. I don't have an idea when something happens. I'm afraid I have to rest. In the future, if there are more things, you will also Don't ask me this old woman, and discuss it with Master Zheng and Brother Jue."
Hearing this sentence, everyone's hearts jumped in unison, and they all looked at her with surprised eyes.
She is going to delegate power, delegate power to Jia Jue!
Everyone knows that Jia Zheng is a hands-off shopkeeper, unless it is a major matter, he will not take care of it.
Jia Mu delegating power to Jia Zheng and Jia Jue is equivalent to delegating power to Jia Jue alone!
Jia Jue is in power!
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing's expressions changed dramatically. They were at odds with Jia Jue, how could Jia Jue gain power?
Mrs. Wang said quickly: "Old lady, you are in the prime of life, but you are not at all..."
Jia Mu waved her hand and interrupted her: "Don't say such beautiful words, my old lady has lived for decades, and I still have a clear understanding of what is good and what is bad."
After this series of events, she could see clearly that Jia Jue was more suitable to be at the helm of Jia's mansion than she or anyone else.
She looked at Jia Jue, and said earnestly, "Brother Jue, I will leave the family to you."
Chapter 165
Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan, Xue Baochai's house.
Xue Baochai was making a female celebrity in her hand, but there was no focus in her eyes. Obviously, her mind was not on the female celebrity.
"Yeah." She was distracted, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in her fingertips. She quickly lowered her head, only to see that a drop of blood had already appeared on her finger.
"Miss, how many times has this happened to you?" Ying'er said angrily when she saw this, and quickly helped her treat the wound.
It took only half an hour for them to become female celebrities, and Xue Baochai had already poked her fingers several times.
Xue Baochai shook her head: "I was just thinking about something."
"Thinking about something?" Ying'er glanced at her, then suddenly smiled, "From my point of view, you must be thinking about people."
"What nonsense!" Xue Baochai said angrily, but there was a slight blush on her fair face, obviously she had been told what was on her mind.
Ying'er deliberately sighed, and said in a worried tone: "Hey, the third master said that he would punish the slaves. He has dealt with many old people in the past few days. These old people have all gone to the old lady's courtyard to cry. I don't know how."
Since Jia's mother handed over the power of Jia's mansion to Jia Jue, Jia Jue has been vigorously punishing the servants of the eastern and western mansions in the past few days, and many servants who have committed illegal activities have been dealt with by him.
This also caused some backlash. Some people secretly linked up and went to complain in front of Jia Mu.
"You still say!" Xue Baochai gave Ying'er a blushing look.
Ying'er was right, she was indeed worried about this matter, and Jia Jue's starting point was correct, but such a big move would inevitably provoke a backlash.
I don't know how Jia's mother will deal with it.
Seeing this, Ying'er laughed coquettishly: "Miss, if you care about it, you will be confused. How can you be afraid of these tricky slaves?"
Xue Baochai frowned slightly: "That's the reason, but I'm afraid the eldest wife and the second wife will not sit idly by."
Among the group of people Jia Jue dealt with, many belonged to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.
Ying'er giggled, leaned closer to Xue Baochai and whispered, "Miss, don't say it's just a servant, even if the two wives come together, they are not the third master's opponent."
"Whether the opponent is not the opponent, don't talk nonsense!" Xue Baochai immediately glared at Yinger, "If outsiders listen to this, maybe how to arrange Brother Jue."
Ying'er covered her mouth and laughed: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. No wonder people say 'girls are extroverted'. You haven't gotten through the door yet, so you're just thinking about him."
"Don't talk nonsense, watch your skin carefully!" Xue Baochai blushed, stretched out her pale finger and pointed Ying'er's forehead.
Yinger asked with a smile: "Miss, do you admit it?"
Just as Xue Baochai was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Is Sister Bao there?"
Hearing this voice, Xue Baochai's expression changed, the original expression of embarrassment and joy disappeared, and she turned back into a cold beauty:
"Brother Bao, I'm here."
It was Jia Baoyu who came.
He walked in, smiled at Xue Baochai, and said, "Sister Bao, I'm here to find you."
Xue Baochai glanced at him: "Why do you come to me when you have time? Why don't you go find Sister Lin?"
Jia Baoyu's smile froze: "Sister Lin is studying, so I don't want to disturb you."
Where is Lin Daiyu studying? She obviously doesn't want to talk to him.
Xue Baochai made a guess at his expression, but she didn't expose it, but asked:
"Have you ever been to the old lady's courtyard?"
Jia Baoyu nodded: "Well, I just invited Ann."
Xue Baochai's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked: "I heard that some old lady went to find the old lady and cried?"
"Yes, but grandma didn't pay attention to them, and they wanted to make trouble again, but I taught Brother Jue to take it." Jia Baoyu said.
Xue Baochai was overjoyed when he heard the words, Jia Jue was fine.
Jia Baoyu looked at Xue Baochai, and suddenly said, "Sister Bao, let me see your red musk skewers?"
The red musk string is a string worn by Xue Baochai on his left wrist.
Xue Baochai glanced at him and shook his head: "No, I can't take it off."
This is a personal item she wears next to her body, how can she show it to Jia Baoyu?
If Jia Jue was here, he would be laughing, because in the original book, Jia Baoyu also said the same thing, and at that time, Xue Baochai gave it.
Being rejected by Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu's face flashed a touch of embarrassment, but he soon let go of it, because Xue Baochai is a very assertive and measured cold beauty, and he is very principled in dealing with others.
He thought for a while, and then said: "Sister Bao, I've been hearing Aunt Xue say that you have a ring these days, and it happens to be a pair with my psychic jade. Why don't I take a look at that golden lock?"
Xue Baochai has a gold lock hanging around his neck, which is said to have been given by a monk, who said that he would marry only those who have jade in the future.
There is a sentence on this golden lock: Never leave, never leave, and you will live forever.
Coincidentally, there is also a sentence on Jia Baoyu's psychic jade: don't lose, don't forget, immortal life and eternal prosperity.
Indeed a couple.
And this is also the source of the saying "Golden Jade Match".
Xue Baochai's eyes widened suddenly when she heard the words, and her face turned pale. Aunt Xue's meaning of preaching this sentence couldn't be more clear.
Because she needs to "marry someone with jade".
Who is the rich man in Jia's mansion?
Only Jia Baoyu!
"I don't have any collars, I guess you misunderstood." She said coldly.
Jia Baoyu blinked: "Really? But I've heard it several times, and I can't be wrong."
Xue Baochai turned around and said, "Brother Bao, I'm tired, so I'm going to rest now."
Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded, he didn't understand why Xue Baochai's attitude suddenly became so cold.
At this moment, a drunk man swaying around walked in outside the door.
It was Xue Pan.
He muttered vaguely to Jia Baoyu:
"Brother Bao, you don't know about this. My sister's collar is closely related to her marriage. How can others look at it at will?"
