Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

It is impossible to say that I will go tomorrow. It is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a day. I have to bring everything that can be used. In particular, the two who are going are both delicate and expensive. Even the doctor has to bring two. .

On the surface, it was said that the old man wanted to take his son to Jinling's hometown to worship the ancestors. As for going to Jia Lian's mother's house, the father and son knew about it, otherwise, the trip might die prematurely.

Mother Jia was dissatisfied that the eldest son was showing signs of getting out of her control. Fortunately, although he had attracted a little attention from the Emperor and the present, but with his ability, that was all. She has the final say, she has plenty of time to adjust her means to trap this son again.Therefore, Mother Jia didn't want the elder to go to Jinling to worship some ancestors, let alone bring Jia Lian - the elder son already wanted to break free, but he couldn't let him win over the grandson he had raised since he was a child. When the father and son were united, her actions were even more difficult-but she couldn't hold back the reason, and the Grand Master Jing in the East Mansion sent his son Jia Zhen to the team when he heard that he wanted to worship the ancestors. She couldn't object, could she?Besides, the eldest grandson Jia Zhu is now in a critical period, and she still needs to make sure that Zhu Geer can study hard, so that he will have a good high school next year!I really can't spare a lot of energy to manage the eldest son.

So, the old man was riding in an exquisite carriage, served by pretty and beautiful maidservants, surrounded by strong guards and tall horses outside, and he was dressed crookedly in his rich clothes and brocade robes and wearing gold and jade, eating and drinking spicy food, and a group of people went out in a mighty way!

Jia Lian: "..."

Jia Lian said that there is no way to live this day!He obviously had great ambitions before going out, but what happened?His father is indeed a piece of mud that cannot support the wall!Brother Zhen, who was stuffed in like a head by Uncle Jing, is like a dog of a feather!The road that can be walked in six or seven days was walked by the two of them for nearly a month!The one who walks one step and stops three steps is simply prettier than Miss Boudoir Jiao!Passing by a big town and going to drink flower wine! ! !Do the servants sent by the old lady who I haven't seen all look contemptuous?Are the servants sent by Uncle Jing who haven't seen them going to be furious?Simply!

Therefore, he should be content to be able to enter the gate of Jinling City on the second day of September, so as not to miss the time for worshiping the ancestors. =

"Father, Brother Zhen, where are we going now?"

"Of course I'm going to the old house! I'm so tired these days, my lord, I need to take a good rest!"

"That's right, what Uncle She said makes sense! After the rest is over, let's go relax. This Jinling is a famous place, hehe..." Jia Zhen showed a wicked smile that men can understand. After Dad came home, his life was so sad!It was so easy to follow him to Jinling to relax, but he was still being watched by the people sent by his father on the way. He had to drink flowers and wine in moderation, and play with women in moderation. It was not fun at all!The same goes for Uncle She, who doesn't know who, when did he only appreciate women?Nine times out of ten I don't go overnight!That's all right now, don't hurry, let's see what excuses they have!

"..." You both have the nerve to say that you are tired! ! !Jia Lian is so angry!

After a while, they came to the gate of Jia's old house in Jinling. Jia Lian motioned for the guards to knock on the door. After a long time, someone answered impatiently with a long voice: "Who is it! What are you knocking in broad daylight!"

Jia Lian looked over, what a guy, his eyes were sunken, his face was pale, his head was raised and he was yawning. Jia Lian's anger suddenly burst out - with such a look, you still expect him to guard the old house?Dismounting from the horse, he just whipped over, "Who? Open your dog eyes to see clearly! It's your second master Lian!"

"Ouch~ How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am!"

"Hehe, sir, I also want to know who you are!" Jia Amnesty, who came down later, also had a bad face, after all, he had been notified before coming, not to mention tidying up the house to welcome the master back, but he still looked so decadent, it was clearly that Don't take him seriously!Like his son, he got out of the car and kicked someone, and the elder found that his delicate feet hurt a bit. =

Not happy anymore!

The old man had a serious face, and led people into the gate in a mighty manner. The yard was deserted, and it seemed that it hadn't been taken care of for several days. People in twos and threes in the corridor were playing around, playing cards and shaking dice Shaking the dice, some nasty words came out from time to time, and the applause rang into my ears.

"Okay! Very good!! Very good!!!" The old man was convinced that this must be a blow from the second family!To embarrass him on purpose!Humph, she made the wrong idea!It's not easy to repair her in the capital, and Jinling, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can he use it to save face!

He signaled the guards to directly smash up the playground, and tied up those who wanted to make trouble.

"What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How dare you offend my Jia family!!!"

"This is the old house of Jia's family in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital! Who gave you the courage to make trouble!!!"

"Go! Please send the officials! Bind this group of lawless thugs!"

"They're all dead! Go invite Grandpa Wang!"

"How dare my four major families provoke me? I don't know that the four major families of Jinling have the final say!"

"..."

A group of people were dumbfounded at first, but when they came back to their senses, they started chattering and yelling, their tone was so arrogant, they only thought that the old man and his party were idiots from Jinling who didn't understand anything, and dared to break ground on Taisui!

"It turns out that someone still remembers that this is the old house of the Jia family? Open your eyes and see clearly, I, Jia She, the current head of the Rongguo Mansion! The owner of the old house of the Jia family!!! Can you see clearly?" It's become a nest for these mice!The elder was very angry, knowing that the Jia family slaves in the capital were bullying the master, but he did not expect that the Jia family in Jinling would not give way too much!So disrespectful to his great master!

"Grandpa Wang? Which Grandpa Wang is here?" Jia Lian got the point.

"Yes... it's Steward Wang, Grandpa Wang... this place has always been managed by Grandpa Wang..." Knowing Jia She and the others' true identities.These people are sorry!All kinds of begging for mercy from crying father and mother, he immediately knew all kinds of questions, and hurriedly pointed out Steward Wang to Jia Lian.

"Oh~ this is Grandpa Wang?" Jia Lian smiled, but he stepped on people with considerable strength.He hates it very much, he is obviously the master, but he has to smile at the old servants around his elders, and has to shout at his grandparents, every time he smiles, who knows how disgusting he feels in his heart?He is far away from the capital, yet there are still slaves who dare to call themselves grandpa in front of him!

"You, you, you...you can't do this to me! I'm my wife's companion!" Steward Wang's chubby body was so heavy that he couldn't stand up, and he was breathing heavily. He reminded Jia Lian with a stern face, because Mrs. Wang is the housekeeper, and the second bedroom lives in Rongxi Hall. Most people call Wang directly "Madam".

"Ma'am, so what?" Maybe there were scruples in the past, maybe I will think about it more in the future, now~ I first learned that the death of my biological mother may be related to the second wife, Jia Lian is eager to find someone to hurt her, "Tie it up for me, and send it to me." The government! Fame~ Let’s take away the owner’s property~ I’ll tie up those people too!”

"Second master, we are old lady|madame|lai nanny|XXX people...you can't do this..." All of a sudden, those who reported to the backstage and those who wanted to make connections all came.

"A group of slaves born in the family, they really think they are uncles! Lian'er, let it go, I will stand up to you as the sky falls!" The old man doesn't know what his son wants to do, but he will wave the flag and shout for firm support!

"Wait for the people to have a good trial. Those who break the law will be sent to the officials, and the others will be sold. Now, go to the inner house to have a look. The outer courtyard is in such a mess, so I don't know what's going on in the inner house!" Jia Lian said a word, and he made a decision. life and death.

It was the first time that he did something with such high spirits, and he got his father's support. Jia Lian became more relaxed and rushed into the inner house occupied by doves and magpies, ignoring how the jeweled woman was crying for her father and mother, and went down with a whip again. , tied up.

Next, Jia Lian asked people to detain the accompanying old lady and the servants sent by the second wife, and went to the old house to make drastic adjustments.First sorted out the people inside, none of them were clean, and their bones were soft. After a casual toss, you sold your master completely, and even provided a lot of account books.Jia Lian was flipping through it casually, but then his face turned blue, and he hurriedly invited his father and Jia Zhen over.

"Father! You don't even know! They are going to kill our Jia family!"

Jia Lian can't do anything else, but because the second wife came here for the sake of face, it can't be said that he can't learn literature and martial arts so he doesn't teach anything, right?How detrimental to her virtuous name!Secondly, intentionally or unintentionally, he wanted to train him to be his own housekeeper. If he worked hard, he could push everything to him in the future. Therefore, Jia Lian was taught a lot of ability to read accounts and calculate. No, after looking at the real account and the fake account, it was clear and terrified!

"That's right! It's disgusting! Those servants actually sold one of our Zhuangzi!" The elder was very angry!That Chuang Tzu's hidden wall still has his great master's collection!God knows how uncomfortable it is to rush to but be stopped by the current owner!

"It's not just Zhuangzi, the second uncle married a good wife! He even sold the sacrifice field! How dare she! How dare she!" That was the sacrifice field!The sacrificial field that will not be confiscated when the house is raided!The purchased shop farm can also use the bad income as an excuse to sell it. Can the sacrifice field be sold?That was the last retreat left by their ancestors!

"Sacrificing the fields?!! Is the Wang family really poor and crazy?" The elder is also dumbfounded. From his prodigal daughter-in-law in his previous life, the elder is well aware of the short-sightedness of the daughter of the Wang family. But I didn't expect the second child's family to be so ruthless!Shoot directly at Jitian!

"Back then, the Dukes of the Rong and Ning prefectures each set up 220 shops in the ancestral land of Jinling, ten large and small farms, and [-] acres of sacrificial land. Later grandfather added another [-] sacrificial fields to the Rong Mansion, and one hundred to the Ning Mansion... Today, there are [-] shops in Rongfu, and the remaining two are completely useless. Hehe, it is said that the second wife had to sell the shops that were sold because of serious losses. For this reason, the son-in-law who troubled her to accompany the house also bought them. There are only five small farms in the ten farms, and they produce a few dishes every year, a little wild animals, and some facades... and the sacrifice fields... the sacrifice fields... only [-] mu left It's gone..." The housekeeper has sold things every year for more than ten years, and just hollowed out the old roots of Jia's family!

"Even Ning Mansion, since three years ago, it has been slowly taken out just like Rong Mansion. Due to time, the family farms and festival fields have not been moved, and the two most profitable shops in the shop have been sold. The family is small, and the farm has sold a place..." Three and a half years ago, Zhen's sister-in-law died of illness, and Jia Zhen was too lazy to take care of it, so she entrusted the Rongguo Mansion to handle Jinling's affairs, and since then it has fallen into the hands of the Wang family. with.

"The fake account is done very well. The mansion only sends people to check it every year. Those people are all handled by the Wang family. No one has seen through it! In other words, some have seen through it, but they just hide it from us!"

If it wasn't for the wrong attack this time, Jia Amnesty, who had promised to come at the beginning of August, hadn't arrived, and the person who came was an old man who was recognized as a waste. When the meeting came, he returned to his indifferent attitude, and Jia Lian and the others came as soon as they changed the kindness of the previous master's house with a whip, and they didn't find anything!
