Queen's Road in the Red House

Mother Jia's rules here are not strict. The daughter-in-law comes to pay her respects sooner or later, but the sons don't force them to come every day, just come every other day.

But in view of the mistakes made by the two wives yesterday, early this morning, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng came to pay their respects together with their wives.

Seeing Jia Min again after a lifetime, she looked at the two elder brothers carefully, and it turned out that she was much older than when she was married.

When she was not out of the cabinet, she was an old woman, and she grew up with her two elder brothers, so the relationship between her and her two brothers was naturally weaker.But she also always believed in blood kinship, thinking that the two elder brothers would not treat her daughter badly.

Who knew, just after she died, when her daughter went to Beijing, the two uncles didn't even show their faces, and they didn't comfort and take care of her at all.

After Lin Ruhai died, he was even more like a stranger to his own daughter, regardless of life or death.

What a good uncle!

At this time, the two "good uncles" were piously admitting their mistakes in front of Jia Min, asking the old lady for forgiveness in the left sentence, and the mother calming down and paying attention to the body in the right sentence, looking like a dutiful son.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also admitted their mistakes, with regretful expressions as if they were about to hit a wall.

Jia Min listened for a while, and when they were almost speechless, she said calmly: "I'm too old to be energetic, and now I see that there are no rules in the house."

"Forget it, since that's the case, I'll have to suffer for a few months and keep the mansion under control. If you think I'm troublesome, talk to me early, and I won't bother. Anyway, this mansion will belong to you two in the future, let people spoil it Bar."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't dare to dare a series of times, you can take care of yourself.

And Mrs. Wang's face flushed red: She has been the housekeeper for the past ten years. Doesn't Jia's mother mean that she has managed a mess and ruined the house?

But she didn't dare to speak, so she could only hold back.

He could only comfort himself, at least the meaning of Jia Mu's words was clear, she only cared about it for a few months, presumably she wanted to beat the two of them, to show that she was the uncompromising old lord of the Rongguo Mansion.

On the other hand, when Jia She heard what Jiamu said, he felt very happy, and couldn't help but stroked a few strands of beard and said, "Second brother, you have lived with your mother for so many years. Let mother take care of the housekeeper herself."

Jia Zhengqi's face was pale and pale, which complemented Mrs. Wang's red and green.

He was angry, but in this day and age, there was no room for younger brother to refute elder brother unless his face was torn apart.So Jia Zheng had no choice but to swallow his anger, and bowed to Jia She: "They are all cheap and incompetent, and they have to work on their mothers. The elder brother taught me the lesson."

Jia Amnesty also acted like a benevolent elder brother, and waved his hand: "Then you must discipline yourself when you go back."

"Bitch" Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was about to smoke.

Before Jia Min got married, she had dealt with Mrs. Wang, a sister-in-law, and it was nothing more than a treacherous and loyal one.Mrs. Wang has a dignified life, she has an oval face since she was young, she looks very gentle, she speaks in a leisurely manner, and she looks like she does not compete with the world and cultivates her self-cultivation.

As far as she was wandering around in the Bo Ming Division, the older Mrs. Wang was even more discreet, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha, pretending to be a Bodhisattva.

But today the Bodhisattva has also become an angry-eyed King Kong, with a frighteningly pale complexion.

Jia Min sneered in her heart: So patience is nothing more than that, so how embarrassing and shameless is it now, can't bear it?Then she overestimated Mrs. Wang's city.

In fact, Jia Min really overestimated Mrs. Wang. The Wang family used to be like a bodhisattva, but Wang Xifeng, who was like an overlord, acted as a villain for her. There was Jia Mu who valued her very much for Yuanchun Baoyu's sake, and Mrs. Xing did not care. After a complete defeat, she backed away, so Mrs. Wang didn't encounter any major ups and downs, so she could naturally pretend to be calm.

But now not only has the housekeeper's power been lost, but also his face has been lost twice in a row, Mrs. Wang can't sit still.

Jia Min held the tea and admired Mrs. Wang's embarrassment for a long time, then waved them away.

As for the property of the Lin family, she did not say it today.Also prepared to wait for the intelligence of the fourth prince in the first-class palace, the two of them calculated together.

Anyway, with Jia Lian's ability, he couldn't take away the Lin family's property in a short time.

After all, it was a violation of national law. Jia Lian was not good enough himself, so he had to go out and ask the four major families and relatives and friends to help him out in order to save Jia Mu's face.

It was precisely because she wanted to understand these things that Jia Min felt even more chilled: her own mother also lied to the Lin family in such a way and kept it from Yu'er.

Perhaps Jia's mother once really wanted Daiyu to marry Baoyu, and it was not in vain to give the money to the Lin family.But later, when she saw that she couldn't do anything, Mother Jia gave up on Daiyu, and didn't care about her as a girl. She lived with Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion until she was fifteen or sixteen years old, so there was no good family to go to.

Perhaps when Daiyu died of illness, the entire Rongguo Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

Now even Daiyu's dowry money is saved.

Jia Min was both chilled and sad, and felt even more distressed for her daughter who was still far away in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and was very worried that her grief would hurt her body too much.

It's just that she doesn't dare to move now, Rongguo Mansion is not completely in her hands, even if she asks two doctors to take it there, someone will buy it without knowing it on the way.

In case someone couldn't see it any more, wouldn't it harm his daughter if he did something wrong with the doctor.

So Jia Min could only bear with it and wait, waiting for the day when her daughter came before her eyes.

But before that, she had to take care of the Rongguo Mansion.

Sister Feng arrived at this time.

Because everyone knew that the two masters and wives were definitely going to come to plead guilty in the morning, so they arrived late on purpose.

At this moment, all the pleaders inside had withdrawn, and Li Wan and Sanchun, who were drinking tea in the next room, came out.

Yuanyang politely blocked it back: "Grandma and the girls, let's go back, the old lady is tired, see you in the evening." But Wang Xifeng stayed.

Li Wan felt bitter: Is she not as good as Wang Xifeng?Obviously she is the daughter of a scholarly family, and she can also be a housekeeper, unlike Wang Xifeng who doesn't even know the words.

But just because she is a widow, even if the power of the housekeeper is vacant now, and the old lady dismisses the two wives, it is still not her turn.

Li Wan, who didn't mention the distress, took the Sanchun sisters back dully, and only said that Wang Xifeng entered the door cautiously.

She has been to the main room of Rongqing Hall too many times, but she has never been so apprehensive.She secretly took two deep breaths, a little nervous.

Whether she was rejected by Jia Mu from the power center of Rongguo Mansion, or whether she became Jia Mu's confidant and overshadowed Mrs. Wang, depends on today.

Jia Min cut to the chase: "Since we're here, I think I have an idea."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "The old lady hasn't had her meal yet. Wouldn't it be better for me to serve you for breakfast first? You won't be hungry. I'll ask you for a bite."

What she said was affectionate, because she wanted to play the emotional card and remind the ancestors of the days when she made jokes and made jokes.

But the emotion card is useless to Jia Min, and now the only one who can impress her with emotion is Daiyu, who is still far away.

So Jia Min pointed to the first red sandalwood chair with Ganoderma lucidum pattern, and said directly: "Either sit down and talk, or you can go back and have breakfast."

After all, Wang Xifeng is a smart person. He immediately put away his smile and delusions of emotional investment, and didn't dare to sit down. He didn't dare to delay any longer, and started talking.

"Old Ancestor Mingjian, in the past, I also thought about the shortcomings of our family. Now that I have said it, there is something wrong with it. Please remind me, the old lady."

"The first one is that the population is mixed and things are lost; the second is that there is no special responsibility for things, and committees are dismissed at the end of the day; the third is that excessive fees are required, and excessive expenditures are falsely claimed; the fourth is that there is no job size, and the joys and sorrows are uneven. "The fifth thing is that the family is arrogant, those with face refuse to obey the rules, and those without face cannot make progress."

Jamin nodded.

After all, the person who has been in charge of the family for several years has insight.The descendants of the old family are often harmed by these points, but they also suffer from the old family rules and the filial piety of the younger generation, so there is no room for speech.

Wang Xifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The old lady is the most scheming, so there's no need for me to talk too much, it's just a test for me."

Jia Min picked up the tea: "Girl Feng, what you said is the personnel affairs of the mansion, so what do you think of the current ostentation expenses in the mansion?"

Sister Feng smiled wryly, thinking that her head was open anyway, so it's better to tell the truth: "Old lady, the house is really not the same as it was then.

In the past two years, I have also mentioned several frugal methods to my wife, but they have not worked.

Firstly, I am afraid that I will lose the face of the mansion, and outsiders will not look like me; secondly, I am afraid that I will wrong the masters of the mansion, especially the old lady. It’s okay if your children and grandchildren can’t make great progress, but I can’t let you have a good time. It's worse than it was back then. "

Only now did Jia Min feel that she was the right person to find Sister Feng: at least the two had the same goal of saving money.

Of course, the goal is far from where the saved money will go.
