Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

What is the crime?

Wang Xifeng didn't know either.

She lowered the curtain in the old lady's room, and saw the old lady leaning on the pillow from the gap, covering her face with a veil, shaking from crying.

Is the old lady regretting that she should not be partial to her younger son, causing the two houses to fight and being caught by outsiders, or is she regretting that she should not send the mother to the palace to fight for her future?

Wang Xifeng didn't know either.

Every fruit has a cause sown in the first place.

But the elder master was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, while the second master was raised by the old lady herself.

If it were Wang Xifeng herself, she would naturally love the children raised by herself more than those raised by her mother-in-law.

What's more, when the Duke of the State left, the old man's original wife had died, and the eldest wife he married was from a lowly family background and was unreasonable. She couldn't support the appearance of the lady of the Rongguo Mansion when she went out to socialize and the duties of a housekeeper.

However, Mrs. Wang, the second master's wife, was born in a rich family, Wang's family. Her elder brother was the commander of the third rank, and later the admiral of Zhili, the second rank. Mrs. Wang was able to manage the family and go out.

No one in the Jia family has been an official in the court since the death of the old grandfather, all relying on the past power and the help of relatives.

The heart is biased, the elder brother of the youngest son's daughter-in-law has not yet reached the third rank of the official residence, and the future is boundless.

The old lady ordered her youngest son to live in the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall, but told her eldest son, who had seized his title, to live in the separated east courtyard, and the root cause of sibling rivalry was planted.

The men in the family didn't study hard and made progress, and all of them spent their time drinking and drinking, so they had no choice but to focus on the idea of ​​revitalizing the family on their daughters.

The empress waited for five years, and finally entered the Holy Majesty's harem and was conferred the title of concubine. Since then, the two houses of Ning and Rong will inevitably be implicated in the struggle in the palace.

But the men have nothing to do, they can only fight chickens and run dogs, eat wine and gamble money, so that they commit all kinds of evil.

The family still values ​​morality and reputation, and is especially gracious to the older servants who have served the elders, so they have raised their hearts, treating the master's as their own, picking up the master's things and relying on the master's power without fear.

Wang Xifeng went back to Rongxi Hall thinking about the matter, looked at the boxes full of things copied from the slave's house, and thought that fame should be needed when it should be, but life is gone, what reputation do you want?

She would rather people say that she is cruel and mean, but she also wants to let the three children grow up safely!

Wang Xifeng sat back on the chair, ordered Lin Zhixiao to come closer, and told him: "Go and find out who has been the most greedy in the past, and report them to me. I will record them first, and then I will take care of them slowly."

Lin Zhixiao's heart trembled, thinking of his daughter Xiaohong who was still beside Sister Zhen, he bowed his head in agreement.

Nearly dawn, these stolen properties were finally filed into the treasury, a total of 23 six taels of silver, 270 taels of gold, all gold and silver were converted into silver, a total of 550 six taels of silver .

And the Jia family owes the treasury 53 taels of silver, and the sum of these gold and silver is not enough.

Wang Xifeng ordered to put 8000 taels of gold and 22 taels of silver in a separate warehouse, leaving more than 8000 taels of silver for daily use in the house.

The silver owed to the state treasury was still short of 13 yuan, so he had to sell the copied houses, fields, gold and silver jewelry, etc. to make up for it.

Nearly 80 yuan of property was copied, and 53 yuan had to be returned to the treasury, and 20 yuan was returned to Aunt Xue, leaving only a fraction.

Wang Xifeng rewarded the servants who went to search the house together with ten taels of silver for their hard work, and looked at the account book with Jia Lian, and sighed deliberately: "So many copies have been copied, and all of them have to be used to prepare for debt repayment. It's really useless."

Jia Lian cooperated with Wang Xifeng and said with a bitter face: "Why is it called useless? At least I won't add another crime. I hope that the master and wife will survive."

After staying up all day, everyone was exhausted, and Wang Xifeng yawned several times on the way back to the yard to sleep.

Now Jia Lian looks at Wang Xifeng with respect, fear and love.

When I was newly married, I only knew that Feng girl was very powerful, but she was always suppressed by the housekeeper and the director, so she was a little competitive towards him.

Later, Feng girl became pregnant, and she seemed to be a different person, gentle and prickly, which made him love her so much.

Now it seems that Feng girl is still the powerful Feng girl, and she is several points more powerful than before, and her scheming methods are much stronger than him.

Jia Lian lay in bed tangled for a long time, and then let go.

No matter how powerful Feng girl is, isn't she also his wife?They also gave birth to sister Zhen and brother Peng together. If Feng girl harms anyone, she won't harm him.

Thinking about it this way, the more powerful she is, the better.

Jia Lian forced him to turn around, not daring to think about Feng girl's power, and what he would do to find someone outside, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

At Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife had just rested. In Ningguo Mansion, Youshi Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already opened their eyes and started to get up, wash and change clothes.

Qin Shi was eight months pregnant, and there was such a big incident at home, You Shi didn't dare to let her sleep by herself, and she was afraid that Jia Rong's hands and feet would not take good care of Qin Shi, so she ordered Jia Rong to go to sleep on her own. She accompanied Qin Shi at night.

Jia Rong is 22 years older this year, with a handsome skin and ignorant inside.

When he was angry with Jia Zhen, he wished that Jia Zhen would disappear immediately, so that he could be the master of the house and no longer be subject to control.

Now that Jia Zhen was really caught, he didn't know if she could come back. On the contrary, he was terrified and dared not do anything. Hearing Youshi's order to him, he was very happy and hurried to live in the study.

The Qin family knew Jia Rong's face early on, and was not sad at all. Hearing that Jia Zhen was in trouble, although he was also worried about being implicated, he was even more happy that his evil will be rewarded with evil.

She was only a little startled when she heard about it, and then she ate well and slept soundly. If it wasn't for the fear that Jia Zhen would come back, she wouldn't even pretend to be sick.

After grooming, Jia Rong came from the front to greet You Shi, and the three of them had dinner together.

Seeing Jia Rong's hopeless appearance, Youshi sneered in his heart, and told him, "Follow me to the West Mansion first, and see how the old lady is doing."

"When you come out of the West Mansion, you take the money and go around to inquire about your father's current situation, and then find out about our family, to see if you can save your father from suffering."

Jia Rong almost didn't hold her chopsticks, she lowered her head.

You Shi sighed, pretending to be worried that Jia Zhen would not be able to eat, but went to persuade Qin Shi: "Good boy, eat more, and stay here in peace for a while, waiting for me to come back."

Qin Keqing agreed, and said again: "May I ask my mother to greet the old lady for me, and then say hello to Second Aunt Lian for me."

Qin's family is affectionate, and she will remember whoever treats her well.Youshi's heart became hot, and he looked at Jia Rong with his head down, and felt that the couple were very different.

She promised, "don't worry, it's all on the way."

When they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Rong was relieved when she heard Jiamu say that there was no need to find a way out, so as not to offend the Holy Majesty.

He was secretly happy for a moment, afraid of being seen by others, so he suppressed his laughter, and at the same time he was worried that he would not intercede. If the crime was convicted and the whole family was harmed, wouldn't he also suffer?

Jia Rong wandered around in his mind for a long time, and when he returned to his own study in Ningfu, he went to bed and thought for a long time, thinking that his father had better bear the blame alone, and don't get him involved if he doesn't come back!

So, isn't he the one who has the final say on this Ning Mansion?He also doesn't have to worry about his father wanting to touch his wife!

Jia Rong was looking forward to Jia Zhen's death, and Youshi Qin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also discussing their future.

Today, You Shi went over and found out that Feng girl had confiscated Lai Da Lai Sheng's family, and confiscated hundreds of thousands of properties, preparing to fill the national treasury debt.

You Shi admired Feng girl's decisiveness, but she was a little unwilling to Lai Da Lai Sheng's so much property was put into the treasury of Rongguo Mansion, and nothing was left for them in Ning Mansion.

She complained to the Qin family: "If you say that Lai Da Lai Sheng is the head of the two governments, the things they embezzled also have a share in our family, and Feng girl just took it all?"

"Although our family doesn't owe the national treasury 53 yuan, it still owes 20 yuan. Hey, if we can get half of it, we don't have to worry about it."

Qin Keqing's heart moved, she saw that there was no one in the house, and persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, if it is to pay back the money from the treasury, in my opinion, if mother is determined to be ruthless, several of our housekeepers will be arrested."

"The left and right body deeds are in our hands, and they are all rich, how about..."

You Shi understood what she meant, stood up and walked around on the ground a few times, thinking that Qin Shi's idea was good, knowing that this was an excellent opportunity, but fearing that Jia Zhen would blame her for making her own decisions when she came back.

But in the end, it was Wang Xifeng's success that made her make up her mind, and it would be easy to find excuses for Jia Zhen in the future, so what if she copied them all?Believe it or not, Jia Zhen doesn't love money!

Youshi became cruel, and said to Qinshi: "Sit here and let the maids keep your house tight. I'll go to the West Mansion to ask your second aunt for help!"

Wang Xifeng originally thought that You Shi went back and forth this time to discuss the distribution of money. After all, Lai Da Lai Sheng was not less greedy for Ning Guofu's money, and logically it should be distributed to them.

But Rong Mansion has too many foreign debts, Wang Xifeng has made a plan, if Dong Mansion doesn't mention it, she will ignore it.

It was mentioned in the Dongfu, and she still wanted to talk about it. It was her idea to bring the person, and at most she could only give [-]% to the Dongfu.

It's not that Wang Xifeng is greedy for money, it's true that although there are many copies, there is not much left after paying off the money owed.

Unexpectedly, You Shi did not come to discuss the money distribution, but wanted Wang Xifeng to help her lead someone to copy the properties of several housekeepers in the Ning Mansion.

After hearing about Youshi's intentions, Wang Xifeng gave her a high opinion of her, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is a good idea. I will do my best to offend others. You can enjoy your life here."

Youshi glared at her, and said helplessly, "You know me too. I have no foundation and no one to support me. Although I have the heart, but I don't have the strength, I must ask you for help."

"If you help me, I don't want any of the things in Lai Da Lai Sheng's house, and they all belong to your house, how about it?"

Wang Xifeng waited for Youshi to say this, then confirmed with a smile, and asked, "Sister-in-law means what she says?"

Youshi pulled her up and said, "Do the math, do the math, the money is in your treasury, can I lead someone to snatch it?"

So Wang Xifeng stayed up all night and only slept for three hours. She hadn't rested for a while after eating, and then arranged some people to follow Youshi to Ningfu to raid the house.

The butlers of the Ning Mansion are also extremely rich.

Although Wang Xifeng didn't count in detail, he knew at a glance that there would be two to three million yuan, which was enough to cover the foreign debts of Ningfu.

And after all, Rong Mansion took the money from Ning Mansion, Wang Xifeng also tied up dozens of servants who wanted to rebel for Youshi, and locked them up in the stables. In the afternoon, they called Ren Yazi to sell the whole family.

After selling dozens of households with a hundred or so servants and confiscating the properties of dozens of households, Youshi got tens of thousands of silver, and also gained authority through Wang Xifeng's hand.

The two of Wang Xifeng and You's family were reorganizing their family business, and at the same time they kept sending people out to find out the news.

However, the teenage grandparents in the Rong Mansion heard about the accident at home and panicked for a few days. Be more secure.

Only Jia Cong's father was arrested, his mother, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were all there, and Yingchun persuaded him day and night, so he soon recovered and started working hard.

Jia Huan's biological father and aunt were arrested, but his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was fine. She was also watched by her own sister, Tanchun, who picked up books only one day later than Jia Cong.

The youngest, Jia Lan, was only nine years old, but he was the first among them to start working hard.

Although Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was his grandfather and grandmother, she hadn't been close to him since he was a child. Jia Lan gradually got closer to Jia Zhenglue two years ago when Jia's mansion was in trouble with the school.

Jia Amnesty is the grandpa who lives across the room, and has less time to talk. Although Jia Zhen is an uncle, he is farther away.

Jia Lan was taught by Li Wan to rely on himself since he was a child, and only by earning fame can he and her mother live a good life.

Therefore, the arrest of his family members had little effect on Jia Lan. He only panicked for two days before starting to study hard day and night.

Only Baoyu, whose biological parents were all arrested, lost his mind and never started to study.

He is 13 years older this year. His face is like a silver basin, his eyes are like spots of lacquer, he has the complexion of spring flowers, and the beauty of bamboo.

But in the past [-] days, the family has undergone great changes. The grandmother was fainted by the uncle and mother, the parents were imprisoned, and dozens of familiar servants in the family were betrayed. There are fewer and fewer familiar faces.

Baoyu was tormented, seeing that all the sisters could help with the housework, but he had nothing to do, he could only worry in the house, even worse than little sister Xichun.

After [-] days of suffering, he was so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and he lost all his former vigor and spirit, which made Jiamu feel very distressed.

Jia's mother treated Baoyu like a child, pulled him into her arms to coax him, and filled him with delicious and fun stuff, but Wang Xifeng never did such a thing again.

When she had time, she called Baoyu to her side and told him, "This is already the case at home, you can't make the emperor change his mind if you cry any more."

"I heard that you don't read any books these days, and you don't touch your pen anymore. Every day in the house, you know how to sigh and cry with the girls?"

It was the first time that Baoyu was said so bluntly on the face by Wang Xifeng, her face was blushing, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Wang Xifeng looked at him, and continued to talk to him mercilessly: "Brother Bao, if you really cry a few times, you can make our family the same as before. You cry when you cry, but you can't."

"In this world, there are only two ways to benefit from studying and practicing martial arts. Practicing martial arts to conquer the world, our ancestors have already become leaders, and you are not that kind of material."

"You are spiritual in reading, but you still don't want to read it. You are forced to read it. Now that your parents have been arrested, and there is no one at home to care about you, you will relax?"

Baoyu was anxious, and raised her head to defend herself, but was stopped by Wang Xifeng raising her hand, and said, "Baoyu, listen to me first. Okay, I'll tell you this time, it's up to you whether you can listen to me or not." creation."

"I also know that you were born in a wealthy family. You have been pampered by thousands of pampers since you were a child. You don't have to worry about anything. You like hanging out with your sisters the most. You have an idiot in your heart, hoping that you can live happily forever without worrying about everything. It's over, isn't it?"

"But in life, how can there be nothing to worry about? Among other things, your parents gave birth to you, the old lady loves you so much, and the sisters usually treat you well."

"Now that the family is in trouble, if the sage is punished and the family loses the title and benefit, then you will die, regardless of the old lady and your parents? It doesn't matter what happens to your sisters in the future?"

"All day long, my family said that I lived and died with my sisters and your girls. Now you take a few girls out of your house to see who you can support without the help of your family?"

"Your sisters all know that something has happened at home. As women, they can't go out to take the imperial examination to revitalize the lintel, but they also keep the house in order, and let everyone belong to their respective positions. Now you can have food, clothes, and water. , how can you not rely on welcoming the spring to explore the spring and cherish the spring?"

"That is to say, they can't go out to take the imperial examination after studying, otherwise they would have been studying hard by now, and they are still like you. Which one of them is not better than you?"

Wang Xifeng saw that Baoyu's face was swollen, and she had a few words to say, but she swallowed them back and sighed, "If you hate me from now on, I have nothing to say. If you can think about it, It can be regarded as a good fortune for my children."

"I'm still busy here, Brother Bao, you go back first, and think about what I said."

Jia Baoyu saluted and left in a daze.

Wang Xifeng glanced at his back, and then made plans for the family.

She helped Youshi tie up dozens of people that day, and when she returned to Rongfu, after listening to Lin Zhixiao's reply, she also copied and sold dozens of Rongfu's servants, and got a lot of money.

After turning over two pages of the roster, Wang Xifeng saw someone under the window out of the corner of his eye, and shouted, "Who's there!"

It was none other than Jia Lian standing there.

That day when Jia Lian went out to inquire about the news and came back, he reported it to the old lady. After running around twice, he was about to go back to the house to have a rest. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Feng girl admonishing Baoyu.

Feng girl spoke harshly, he was afraid that Baoyu would be embarrassed if he went in again, so she stood by the window and waited for a while.

But Jia Lian stood there, the more she listened, the more she felt that Feng girl was right, and the more guilty she felt.

Think about it, apart from being able to do some housework better than Baoyu, doesn't he also like to study, and eat on the merits of his ancestors?

He stood there listening for a long time and couldn't help thinking, and didn't notice that Baoyu had left. He heard Wang Xifeng's shout, and then he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's me!"

Seeing Jia Lian coming in from the outside, the figure at the window was gone, Wang Xifeng complained to him, "Why are you standing there so scary?"

Jia Lian wiped her hands and sat down beside her, and said with a smile, "Seeing Second Grandma's prestige teaching Brother Bao scares me, so I dare not come in."

Wang Xifeng gave him a sharp look, then gave him a slap, and asked, "How about asking about it today? It's been 20 days, whether it's closed or released, it's time to find out."

Jia Lian remembered the business, sat up straight and said solemnly: "Today I went to Su Shilang and told him about the money owed to the treasury by our two mansions."

"He gave me the news, saying that all the evidence has been sent to the Holy Spirit before the case, and it is only waiting for the Holy Spirit to issue an order."

On August 24, the Holy Majesty personally ordered the disposal of the Ningrong and Rongfu.

The first-rank Shenwei general Jia Amnesty used his power to buy and sell by force, oppressed the common people, caused unjust death, and failed to restrain his nephew and family members from committing crimes, so he should have been dismissed from his post and exiled.

Because of the outstanding meritorious service of his grandfather and father, he was only stripped of his title and hit [-] big boards to make him return home for self-examination. His son Jia Lian inherited the title of Rongguo Mansion and was granted the title of third-class Weiyuan General.

Wailang Jiazheng, a member of the Ministry of Fifth Grade Industry, lived in the hall as the youngest son without a title, confused the seniority and inferiority, ran the family laxly, and connived at his wife Wang's lawsuits and usury.

Nian Qi was the father of a virtuous concubine in the palace, he was given a lighter punishment, dismissed from his post, given a [-]-year slap in the face, and moved out of Rongguo Mansion within half a month.

Sipin, Jia Zheng's wife, ordered his wife, Wang, to seize her imperial order and hit her with fifty slaps. In consideration of the favor of the virtuous concubine, her brother has made great contributions to the country, so he will not go to prison and return home for self-reflection.

The third-rank mighty general, Jia Zhen, indulged the slaves, oppressed the common people, disregarded the principles of human relations, cut the title, beat [-] boards, took back the mansion of Ningguo Mansion and sealed off the land, within one month the whole family moved out of Ningguo Mansion, and the mansion was handed over to the workers. department inspection.

Lai Dalai, the housekeeper of Ningrong Second Mansion, was promoted, put into prison, and executed in autumn.

With the imperial decree, although the Ningrong Second Mansion, which has been proud for seventy or eighty years, has not come to an end, it is not as good as before.

People in the Ning Mansion have become ordinary people in Beijing, and Dayan no longer has a "Ning Guo Mansion".

Although the title of Rongguo Mansion is still there, it has been transferred to Jia Lian in advance, which shows that the Holy Majesty still has some preferential treatment for Rongguo Mansion.

But General Weiyuan of the third rank is already the lowest rank in Dayan's title, and the next generation, Peng Geer, will be white.

Fortunately, although the Jia family members who were captured suffered a lot and were beaten with a board, they all survived.

When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng found out the news, Wang Xifeng reported to Jia's mother immediately. Jia Lian was busy changing clothes and setting up a car, and then sent people to Dongfu to find Jia Rong, and went to the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick up Jia Zhen, wife of Jia Zheng Wang.

When Jia Baoyu heard the news from Jia's mother, he also went to pick him up with Jia Lian.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, he saw Jia Zhengwang's wife was beaten to a bloody mess and lost her shape, so she wanted to cry aloud, but she held back and helped the servant girls carry the two of them into the car.

In the past two days, he thought over and over what his second sister-in-law said, and today he saw his parents unconscious with gray hair, so he fully understood that he must support the family from now on.

The Holy Majesty ordered Erfang to move out of Rongguo Mansion within half a month, and to live on his own from then on.Huan'er has been studying hard day and night, so he doesn't live up to it. Could it be that he will let his mother look at Aunt Zhao's face in the future?

Although Jia Amnesty received [-] boards less than Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, the situation was not much better.

After all, he is 50 years old, and he has been in prison for more than [-] days. Although he has not been tortured, he is so ineffective every day. past.

Seeing Jia She like this, Jia Lian cried with tears all over his face, and carefully lifted Jia She into the car with his own hands, for fear of knocking him again.

Jia Zhen was about ten years younger than Jia She, but she was beaten fifty times, and she also fainted and fell unconscious.

Jia Rong was terrified, so she threw herself on Jia Zhen and cried loudly. When she was about to carry Jia Zhen into the car, she didn't touch her hands and ordered the boys to do it.

The Holy Majesty only said to beat them with a board, not to beat them to death, so the people from the Ministry of Punishment executed the sentence and gave four of them medicine to ensure that they were still alive when they got home, and they could last long enough to be consulted by a doctor.

It took Jia Lian a few days to transport the man back and invite a doctor to treat him, and the Holy Majesty's decree of Jia Lian's succession to the noble came soon after.

Being awarded the title is the grace of the Holy Majesty, a great joy, although the people in the Jia family were sad, they had to stop their tears and smile on their faces, congratulating Jia Lian for being awarded the title of third-rank General Weiyuan, and Wang Xifeng for being awarded the title of third-rank Shu People ordered.

Seeing that the people in Jia's mansion had sorrow in their eyes, but they had to smile and thank them, Eunuch Zhou collected 1000 taels of silver, and went back by car to answer the Holy Father in satisfaction.

When the Holy Majesty heard Eunuch Zhou's reply to the situation of everyone in Jia's mansion, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "I forgot, if I knew it, I would go to deliver the decree tomorrow. Now it seems that I deliberately made things difficult for others."

Eunuch Zhou knew that he had slapped the dragon's fart on the dragon's hoof, so he quickly backed away without saying a word.

Eunuch Xia smiled and said: "The lady from Rongguo Mansion seems to be a hero among women. With her here, the Jia family may have a few more talents to serve the Holy One."

The author has something to say:

There are three more at six o'clock in the afternoon, hehehe =w=

Well, Xiao Wu has worked so hard, everyone, please give me some cute nutrient solution, okay?
