Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

Chapter 6 Mother's Love

Mrs. Zhang watched Jia Amnesty's recent changes, and she knew that it was all thanks to the old lady.No matter how much resentment there is, seeing the change in her husband now, she has to thank the old lady!If Jia Amnesty hadn't been guided by the old lady, she probably wouldn't survive this year's illness.Where is there still a chance to see the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety?When my health is better, I won't be panting at every turn, and I will definitely be filial to the old lady!

Jia Amnesty, who regards his mother's order as an imperial decree, is extraordinarily serious and hardworking when he goes to investigate the slaves. He must do it himself, and he must investigate the matter seriously!One is afraid that the lowly servant will talk too much and reveal the secret.It was also in the process of checking that he discovered that the old servants of Rongguo Mansion were really a bunch of slaves!Relying on the old and selling the old inside, and bullying others outside.The second is because during the investigation process, I didn't trust the few around me.

After such an investigation, even with the help of his wife, Mrs. Zhang, and making supplements for him, he lost a lot of weight.Now, Zhang, who not only loves Jia She and Jia Enhou, feels distressed, and introduces his trusted companion to Jia She.Even the old lady Lan, who watched him lose weight every day, couldn't help but feel a little sad and distressed: This son is a filial son!

What made Jia She angry the most was that the private property left to him by his grandmother also made those stewards greedy a lot.Fortunately, he used to trust those people because they were left by his grandmother!Even if Lin Zhixiao always told himself that the business was not good, the past two years would not be as good as the previous year.Since these people couldn't be trusted, how could he let them know about it?

Although those slaves who were at fault were found out.If he was the only one to arrest people, he really couldn't do it.After all, some slaves have made meritorious service with their father and grandfather.After reporting the results of her mother's own investigation, the old lady Lan's face turned black, and those are all her future reliance!Think about it, like those snarky minions on TV, spreading the news of the mansion everywhere, is this going to destroy the mansion?Didn't the old lady live again in vain?So, she directly asked the cheap eldest son to report to the yamen, and asked the yamen servants to arrest him.

With the help of the yamen servants, no matter how unwilling and shameless those servants are, it is useless.

In order to live up to his mother's attention, Jia Amnesty did it seriously and gained a lot, so he also generously gave those hard-working yamen servants a silver ticket as a reward for their hard work!Well, that's what mother said.

The aristocratic families in the capital were also shocked. Jia She, the new head of Jia's mansion, didn't he just become a prince?How could his father be so ruthless when he started to clean up his own servants, less than a year after his father's death?What is he doing?It really is lustful and stupid.In fact, there are not many slaves in any house, but if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Doesn’t he understand it?

Jia Min, who hadn't left the capital yet, heard about the Jia Mansion, hurriedly reported to Mrs. Lin, and rushed back to her mother's house.I want to know why my mother let that incomprehensible elder brother do such a thing?

Mrs. Lan looked at Jia Min, Shi Taijun's daughter who had been married for several years. At this moment, Jia Min was a bit like the graceful Tingting her granddaughter said, who was as weak as Sister Lin on TV. She really deserved to be a mother and daughter!Well, the granddaughter also said that Jia Min is the biggest in the whole Red Mansion, uh, cannon fodder, yes, it is cannon fodder!It is said that she is mentioned in the book, anyway, she is already a dead person at the beginning of the book.

Now seeing that Sister Lin's mother is only about 20 years old, such a real beauty, she only has more than ten or twenty years of life, I am really sad!After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said to Jia Min:

"Min'er, you look unhappy. Your thoughts are too heavy. This is not good for your health? Mother knows your thoughts. This child is just not here for a while. You don't need to think too much. Take good care of your body, and when you are healthy, the baby will arrive naturally! There is no rush to have a baby, it depends on fate."

"My mother doesn't know. My mother-in-law gave the master two maids because her daughter has nothing to do. In my heart..." Jia Min said sadly after listening to her mother's words and thinking about the situation in her own family. .

"It's just a concubine. Even if you give birth to a child and you're just a concubine or a concubine, you still have to be called your mother. It's impossible to surpass you, the official wife who is married by a bright matchmaker. Why do you bother with yourself? Could it be that the son-in-law will be alienated if he has a concubine?" Is it you?" The old lady asked seriously.

"That never happened."

"Since your son-in-law treats you as before, why do you worry? If you are in a more cheerful mood, take good care of your body. Of course, the medicine is three-point poisonous, and those medicines can be taken without taking them. The medicine is not as good as the food. Wait a while In half a year, maybe the child will come..."

I don't know if it's because of this body, but the old lady was very happy when she saw Jia Min.Thinking about such a beautiful cheap daughter, who died so young, even the old lady of cheap daughter would feel it is a pity!She had to find a way to make this cheap daughter take good care of her body.

Mrs. Lan thought that no matter in ancient times or modern times, the life of a woman without children would be difficult. Now Jia Min is probably too worried, and the other is that she is probably a bit cold, so it is not easy to conceive!Think about women with cold body, there are not many women in modern times, and their grandson-in-law is also married for several years without children, and spent a lot of money in the hospital.Later, it took more than a year of food supplements before she had her little great-grandson.So the old lady also told Jia Min some food tonic prescriptions, and reminded her not to eat some cold food, let alone raw or cold food.Finally, I told her that my son-in-law also needs to pay attention to some foods that are not suitable for consumption.

The mother and daughter talked for a long time, and the old lady finally told Jia Min all the things she remembered and knew. Fortunately, Jia Min not only has a good memory, but also needs a pen, ink and paper when her mother talks about it. Yan to write down.

The mother and daughter talked for a long time.Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Min remembered the reason why he went back to his mother's house, and asked quickly:

"Mother, what happened in the mansion a few days ago?"

After hearing Jia Min's question, Mrs. Lan knew that the affairs in the mansion had been widely spread outside.Thinking that there was nothing to hide anyway, he told Jia Min in detail why he asked Jia Amnesty to investigate the family.

After Jia Min knew the reason why his mother did this in this mansion, before he had time to think about it, he quickly resigned from his mother and went home after watching the night sky.The old lady was afraid that it would be unsafe for Jia Min to go back alone, so she called Jia Amnesty to send her back.Jia She, who has "reformed from evil and returned to the right", even if he didn't get along very well with Jia Min's sister before, Jia She is still very useful in the eyes of the old lady at the moment.

After Jia Min returned home, seeing that Lin Ruhai had also returned home, he told Lin Ruhai the reason for the whole matter of his natal brother Cha slave.Although Lin Ruhai has the loftiness of a literati, he is very smart and flexible, thinking that his family has been passed down for generations, there will be more or less dishonest servants in the family, right?Let's check it too!If you don't check, you don't know, in fact, the servants of the Lin family are not simple.

Nothing travels as fast as gossip or the like.It's only been a few days, many aristocratic families know about it, no one can see that a servant is greedy for his own money and lives better than himself!So, they all started to act.

Jia Amnesty doesn't care if other people can find out anything.But they saw what they found in their home!

For example, now, a group of masters of the Jia family are surprised to see that the confiscated things are piled up in a room, and there are several large boxes of bank notes.

Only Mrs. Wang was surprised and angry.Can she not be angry?I hid some things in the warehouse in hiding, and looked at these things copied from a group of slaves' homes, it was definitely much more than what I moved!

The whole family was stunned when they saw what they saw in front of them!The old lady almost burst into tears. These are all belongings of their family, but they were corrupted by those servants.

In the end, it was Jia Amnesty who spoke first:

"Mother, these shops have made nearly ten thousand taels of profit every year. The managers have been greedy, and they have divided a lot. After we get it, there is not much left. So all the managers have been sent to officials, and some of them have been sent directly. It’s sold, but there are a lot of things that don’t pay the bill.”

"How much can be recovered."

Mrs. Lan sighed. According to Shi Taijun's recollection, many of the stewards grew up with Mrs. Jia. How did it become like this.Therefore, the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant like a snake!If there hadn't been this raid, perhaps in a few years, this mansion would be like what was seen on TV, the slaves had more money than the master, and the master couldn't make ends meet.In the end, relying on Sister Feng's illegal means of lending money to fill the shortfall in the mansion still requires ostentation.The kind of people who want to save face and suffer, and slap their faces to look fat, are talking about things in Jia's mansion.

But in the eyes of Mrs. Lan, can face be used as food, but can it be worn as clothes?

"Mother, some honest people were excluded because they were disliked by those in charge. Now that my son has been recruited again, as the new shopkeeper, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Well! Even so, you still have to check every six months in the future. This is a warning, and they will definitely be more honest."

The old lady took a look at the old account book and got a headache. The numbers are all capitalized in Chinese, and there is no classification. Fa, what a mess!Although when she was studying, she still used traditional characters. At that time, she had five years of elementary school and one year of junior high school, and she hadn't studied for a few years.Moreover, Arabic numerals were already used at that time. She had never seen this kind of accounting method, and now it looks difficult!Especially this kind of uppercase traditional characters and numbers.Just write it on paper like that, and make the old lady feel dizzy no matter how she looks at it!What a mess!She can't understand!It's not as good as she used the simplest income and expenditure table in modern times. The old lady just remembered that she could understand it at a glance, now?

"My mother is old, and the words are blurred. Xi'er, come and read."
