The Rebirth of the Red Chamber as Lian
Work related
Eyes, simply passed away.The people in the second room, headed by Jia Zheng, surrounded the old lady, but Jia Amnesty and the others couldn't even see a crack, so they simply stopped coming.Jia Amnesty was in charge of pacing anxiously, Mrs. Xing was in charge of wiping tears worriedly, and Jia Lian went to invite the doctor herself.
Jia Xiaolian was in a hurry, but his steps were not so fast.Regardless of whether Shi Taijun is really dizzy or not, he is not in a hurry.Jia Xiaolian is already a little impatient with Shi Taijun, since he has reached the age of enjoying his old age, why should he point fingers like this, honestly pamper him, and enjoy his old age, isn't it good?
The doctor came very quickly, so Jia Xiaolian didn't ask anyone to invite the imperial physician, and it was too troublesome to hand over the sign, so the doctor from the nearby Baohetang was invited.He led the doctor to go in, but suddenly there was a person blocking the way in front of him.Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Rui, the second housekeeper.Jia Lian stopped and stared at the slave without saying a word, wanting to see what he was going to do.
"Second Master Lian, the master has ordered that the doctor should be brought in by the younger one. However, the old lady is very expensive, and I am afraid that ordinary doctors are not good enough. Please hurry up and invite Doctor Wang to come." Zhou Rui didn't talk to Jia Lian either. After saluting, he only lowered his head, and went to greet the doctor as soon as he explained the words, "Our old lady fainted from anger, please hurry up and take a few steps."
This doctor is also a famous doctor who is well-known far and near, and his face is a bit ugly after hearing this.You can trust the imperial physician but not him, so why ask him to make this trip.However, after all, there is a doctor's benevolence, and he is afraid of delaying the patient, so the doctor decided to go in with Zhou Rui without saying anything.However, this doctor has also made up his mind that he will not go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion again.
Jia Lian knew that the master Zhou Rui was talking about could only be Jia Zheng, and he also knew whose power this slave was relying on.But he didn't mind at all, on the contrary, he was very happy.Zhengchou had no reason to make things difficult for Jia Zheng and Wang. This week, Zhou Rui had a flair, so he just sent it to his door.He hasn't been in the mansion for a few years, so it's time for these servants to know that Second Master Lian is also a bad tempered person.
"Doctor Wu, this slave can't speak, please forgive me. Even the envoy Li Yuan of the Supreme Hospital has praised your medical skills. Please go in and treat the old lady." Jia Lian ignored Zhou Rui and smiled to comfort her. The doctor said a few words, "Shushan, send Doctor Wu to Rongqing Hall, Mother Zhao is already waiting."
The doctor was quite satisfied with Jia Lian's attitude, nodded and followed Kunlun away.Jia Lian turned to look at Zhou Rui when they had disappeared.Zhou Rui had already been pushed to kneel down, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, and he was staring at Jia Lian with his neck stuck up in dissatisfaction.His face was flushed, he kept struggling, and he made a whining sound, obviously wanting to say something.
They think that where they are, between the inner and outer gates, all the servants who come and go will look over secretly.There were speculations in my heart, and I didn't know how Steward Zhou offended Second Master Lian, and was humiliated in such a public manner.However, Steward Zhou is also a respectable master in the house, isn't it a little too much for Second Master Lian to do this? !
Jia Lian patted Zhou Rui with a fan, curled his mouth and said, "Looking at you like this, you seem very unconvinced? Do you have something to say, do you have a reason to argue? You are the butler of the mansion, the second wife The one who was promoted is from the second room, do you think that the master has no right to treat you like this? Are you still thinking that you will try to make some troubles for the master in the future?"
"It's a pity, I don't want to listen to you, so you can't talk to me. Who told... I'm the master now?!" Jia Lian's villain got his wish and smiled brighter.He threw away the fan in his hand, and ordered: "Kunlun, my lord sees that this servant is not very disciplined. You take someone to search his house, and everyone in his house, big and small, will look at him."
Zhou Rui was startled when he heard the words, he didn't say anything yet, how could he have ransacked his house? !And, why?He is the son of the family, and the hard work of the family for several lifetimes has made him decent today. Why would Jia Lian end up in the search for a single sentence?More importantly, there are things in this family that must not be copied out.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui couldn't help but struggled more intensely, pressing his tongue against the cloth ball in his mouth, trying desperately to speak.But the people behind him were merciless, after a few heavy punches, Zhou Rui's face immediately turned from red to white.He couldn't struggle any longer, so he could only wink to the servants around him, hoping that someone would report to his master.
Jia Lian didn't care about his little tricks, and asked someone to set up a chair in front of the hall, and sat down with a sword.Mrs. Wang not only annoyed her father, Jia She, this time, but also annoyed him.If he didn't make trouble for that woman, how could Second Master Lian's anger be calmed down.It just so happened that this servant bumped into him again, relying on that woman's power, he still wanted to show him face, if he didn't punish him, who would he punish?
Not to mention, the butler on Tuesday still has many confidants and followers.Even if Jia Xiaolian was staring intently, someone sneaked around to report the news.Jia Lian waved his hand, not letting anyone stop them.He is not afraid of anyone coming now, if no one is to witness, wouldn't it be a waste of expression to show Second Master Lian's arrogance to anyone? !
"Second brother, what are you doing? The old lady hasn't woken up yet. If you don't guard her old man's house, what are you doing here with Brother Zhou?" Jia Zhu was the first witness to appear. With just one glance, Jia Lian was a little apprehensive.But Mrs. Wang ordered him to come and have a look, and he had to come, so he had to bite the bullet and come over to rescue Zhou Rui.
Seeing Jia Zhu, Jia Lian didn't even owe him an inch, sat firmly, and then looked at him with the eyes of a fool.It wasn't until Jia Zhu became angry from embarrassment that he stared at Jia Zhu, and then he smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, you didn't guard the old lady either. If there are too many people in the upper room, the air will be bad, which is not good for the old lady's recovery, so I still hide." Stay away. As for Big Brother Zhou... who is that?"
Jia Lian's eyes didn't have any hidden meaning, which made Jia Zhu clearly see his contempt, and also made Jia Zhu vomit blood in his heart.He understood what Jia Lian meant, and it was obvious that he looked down on calling him a slave brother.Because Zhou Rui and his wife are Mrs. Wang's confidantes, he usually calls them brother and sister, and he doesn't think much of it, but now he is caught and despised by Jia Lian.
"Steward Zhou's family has done their best for the family for generations. The second brother should have some respect for him. You are still young, the second brother, and you don't know how valuable these loyal servants are. We are a big family. People, if you don’t treat your loyal servants kindly, I’m afraid it will chill people’s hearts.” Jia Zhu held back his anger, and pretended to preach with earnestness, but stopped calling 'Brother Zhou'.
"Loyal servant? Loyal or not, you'll know when the raiders come back. Big Brother Pig must not make a conclusion now. Come on, quickly bring a chair for Big Brother Pig. He's weak and can't work hard." Jia Lian He raised his eyebrows and smiled, casually speaking.Suddenly, he clapped his hands in surprise, and asked with a strange expression: "Oh, Brother Zhu, is this slave you said Brother Zhou?"
"It's strange. I haven't heard that Zhou Rui has any relatives with our family? Although our family started in the wild, there is absolutely no reason for relatives to sell themselves as slaves for us. Could it be... this Zhou Rui Is it the second wife’s relative? It must be so, why didn’t Big Brother Zhu say earlier that the Dragon King Temple was almost washed away by the flood.” As he spoke, he looked at Jia Zhu sympathetically.
"You..." Jia Zhu was so angry that his chest hurt and her throat was sweet.He was just a title, but this kid caught him talking nonsense, and he even connected him with a servant, it was just a nonsense to the extreme.Looking at Jia Lian's sympathetic face, Jia Zhu was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he said with a straight face, "Second brother, please be careful with your words."
Jia Lian ignored him with a smile, and just ordered people to serve tea and snacks, looking leisurely.Seeing that this was not going to work, Jia Zhu winked quietly, and the servant who was following him quickly ran away.Jia Lian saw it, and glanced at Big Brother Zhu with a smile, but remained silent.Who should be the next to witness?I'm afraid Mrs. Wang won't be able to sit still.
"Let go of Butler Zhou first. I want to ask him how bold he is and how he dared to offend the second brother. He must have made a big mistake to make the second brother go to war like this." Jia Zhu thought it was okay to wait. , Said to the person holding Zhou Rui.What he meant in his words was nothing more than saying that Jia Lian made a fuss out of a molehill.
Unexpectedly, those two people didn't listen to him at all, let alone move, they didn't even look at him.Uncle Zhu couldn't hold back anymore, and his face became more and more gloomy.Only then did he discover that the people around Jia Lian, except Kunlun and Shushan, who were familiar faces, were all people he had never seen before.Jia Zhu's heart trembled, could it be that Jia Lian had already been training people?
"Talking about you! Didn't you hear the uncle's order, why don't you let Steward Zhou go quickly?" There are people in this world who can't see the situation clearly.Jia Zhu's personal bodyguard is like this, if the master is difficult to say, he is the spokesperson.As he said that, the long man rushed over angrily, intending to release Zhou Rui with his own hands.
He had a good plan in mind, this move was to please the uncle and show his loyalty; it was to please Zhou Rui and sell him favors.Moreover, he didn't think that the second master Lian really dared to confront the uncle. After all, the uncle was the eldest grandson of the family and the old lady's favorite.It's a pity that wishful thinking is good, and it's also good when it's kicked.
As soon as he rushed to Zhou Rui, he was kicked back, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out two front teeth mixed with blood.As soon as he yelled "Ouch", Jia Zhu stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Second brother, what do you mean? Could it be that I, as the uncle of the Rongguo Mansion, can't even ask questions? "He didn't mention the long entourage, just holding on to this.
Jia Lian glanced over, put away the smile on his face, leaned closer to Jia Zhu and said in a low voice, "Just because I am the son of a first-rank general, and you are only the son of the head of the sixth-rank Ministry of Industry. Uncle Rongguo Mansion? What does your uncle have to do with the Rongguo Mansion? Is it your father who can inherit the title, or you?"
His voice was so low that Jia Zhu could hear it indistinctly, but every word seemed to be engraved on Jia Zhu's heart...
No.19 Back to Mrs. Xing against Mrs. Wang Mrs. She and Mrs. She suppressed Mr. Zheng
Regardless of the distraught Jia Zhu, Jia Lian maintained a happy mood of knocking out the enemy, waiting for the results of the house raid in Kunlun.In his previous life, the job he was engaged in prevented him from bullying others like this.Every time I see others being so arrogant, I always secretly envy and hate.Now, he was finally able to deeply experience the feeling of bullying others and being a villain.
Mrs. Wang came here with Zhou Rui's family who was crying loudly, and Mrs. Xing with her mouth curled up.Although Mrs. Xing was not close to Jia Lian, she was even more hostile to Mrs. Wang.Although she got half of the housekeeping power in exchange, what Wang threw to her were trivial matters, and the power was still firmly held.Mrs. Xing is dissatisfied with her.
Now, Jia Lian is clearly going to make trouble for Wang Shi, how can she be unhappy as a mother.Even if she knew it wasn't for her, Mrs. Xing had the right to take it as her stepson venting her anger for her stepmother.Moreover, in the past two or three years, Jia Lian did not return to the residence often, which did not affect her life; every time she came back, there were things to honor her, which gave her enough face as a mother. Mrs. Xing was quite satisfied with Jia Lian.
She is a woman in the inner house, and people in the inner courtyard don't listen to her orders very much. There is this Zhou Rui's family member who often acts obsequiously in front of her, and sometimes dares to shirk responsibility. Mrs. Xing has long disliked her.Incidentally, her man Zhou Rui was also on Mrs. Xing's blacklist.Now that Zhou Rui is going to be unlucky and Mrs. Wang is going to be ashamed, how can Mrs. Xing not come to watch?
As for the old lady who was still unconscious in the upper room, Mrs. Xing let out a pooh in her heart, that she couldn't even pretend to be.Mingming's complexion is ruddy, but he doesn't wake up no matter whether he pinches someone or sticks an needle; Mingming's eyeballs are rolling around under his eyes, but he still pretends to be unconscious. Who is he?Isn't it just that she likes the stars to hold the moon, but it is not as good as her wish.
"Come on, pull Zhou Rui down, beat him twenty big boards, and fine him a year's monthly money." Mrs. Wang ordered loudly as soon as she passed the hall.She had just heard that Jia Lian was determined to save Zhou Rui's face, so it would be better if she punished him first, leaving him speechless.As she walked, she said to Zhou Rui's family: "Don't cry, as a slave, no matter why the master wants to punish, it should be punished."
These words are interesting, implying that Jia Lian is a vexatious person, which made Zhou Rui's family cry louder and more sadly.Someone nearby was going to take over Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui's family wanted to jump up, but none of these people could get close to Zhou Rui, and two strong young men behind Jia Lian stopped him.Even, because he thought Zhou Rui's family was making a fuss, he tied her up and gagged her and threw her beside Zhou Rui.
"Why is my wife here? There are so many people here, how can I offend my wife?" Jia Lian got up to meet Mrs. Xing, let her sit on his chair, and didn't even look at Mrs. Wang, who was showing off the wife's profile.He wasn't worried about what Mrs. Wang could do, as his subordinates wouldn't listen to her, the wife in charge.
"It's not that these slaves don't have eyes. You just came back from Jinling for a few days, and they dared to make you angry. Your father was worried that you would lose your temper, so he sent me to help. It just so happens that the younger siblings were also invited by Zhou Rui's family. If it’s moving, let’s come over and see what’s going on.” Mrs. Xing sat down with a smile, and while she was talking, she looked at Mrs. Wang, who had a more dull expression, feeling overjoyed in her heart.
Mrs. Wang was anxious, and she didn't care about Xing's gloating, she just glanced at Jia Lian with a fierce look in her eyes.Immediately, she resumed her benevolent look again, and persuaded: "Lian'er, why is this slave so mad at you? Just tell Second Aunt that Second Aunt will punish him for you, and don't get mad at yourself." Otherwise, not only my eldest brother and sister-in-law, but also your second uncle and I will feel distressed."
"Furthermore, our family also wants to be a decent family. It doesn't seem like a mess like this, don't you think? Why don't we change places and discuss how to deal with Zhou Rui, so that others won't see the joke. Sister-in-law, You also persuade Lian'er, he is young, but he doesn't know the importance of cherishing his reputation."
"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Why doesn't Lian'er cherish her reputation? Is it to cherish reputation by conniving slaves to bully the master and letting them all climb on the head of the master to act wildly? If so, then it's worth noting the reputation. Things in this world should be done aboveboard, our family is just dealing with a slave, what is there to hide from others?"
Mrs. Xing has lived comfortably in the past two or three years, and her mind is not as narrow-minded as it used to be.When she was a girl at home back then, she was eloquent, slick, and sharp-edged, otherwise she wouldn't have survived the death of her parents and kept her family property.A few years ago when she married into Rongguo Mansion, she was indeed a bit petty, but now with Jia Amnesty's support, it's different, and her waist is also straight.
"Yes, what my wife said is right. There is nothing you have to say about our family. Second wife, please be calm. I have already sent someone to copy this servant's house. It won't be long before someone can Come back. At that time, there will be a conclusion on whether this slave is loyal or traitor. If he is a good man, the master will personally make an apology for him and let his family go free."
Jia Lian sat on the chair newly brought by his servants, and did not call Mrs. Wang to sit, and said slowly: "But if he is not a good person, he dares to deceive his superiors and conceal his inferiors, embezzles and loses money, and commits crimes outside under the name of his master... Just let him know what is the consequence of making the master angry, and how serious it is." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang.
It was the first time Mrs. Wang had heard about the ransacking of the house, and she couldn't help but stare fiercely at the servant who reported the news.Jia Zhu's servant came late and didn't know that Jia Lian had sent someone to raid Zhou Rui's house, and the servant who was talking in front of him didn't understand what he said, so Madam Wang didn't know about it until then.Copy the house?How can I copy it?There are things in Zhou Rui's house that cannot be seen!
"Nonsense! There's no reason for your own family to copy your own family, why don't you hurry up and call him back. You guys, go over and have a look, don't let them throw him outside." Mrs. Wang is really anxious now. He couldn't even maintain the kind expression on his face, so he ordered people to rush over in a panic.This is not at ease, but I have to go there in person.
Mrs. Xing's eyes were quick and her hands were quick, she grabbed her and did not let go, and said in her mouth: "Second brother, are you out of your mind, why do you dare to say anything stupid. Zhou Rui is just the son of our family, How did you become your own family? Do you recognize this relative, or the second master? Anyway, our eldest family dare not recognize it."
What he said made Jia Lian laugh beside him, and couldn't help but look at Jia Zhu with a playful look.It was the first time he discovered that he and Mrs. Xing could get along so well.He had just said that Jia Zhu cheated on relatives, but Mrs. Xing put the words on Mrs. Wang again in a blink of an eye, which was very funny.Not only did he laugh, even Zhou Wei's servants kept their heads down and shrugged their shoulders.
Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu's mother and son were so angry that they were lying on their backs. Just as they were about to explode, there was a burst of noise.The voice sounded not far away, and after a while, Kunlun brought someone over.Almost everyone was holding something in their hands, and even carried a few large boxes.After that, there is a group of Zhou family members who were tied back with their mouths gagged.Even things and people, put a large piece in the yard.
"Hey, what are these? Why do they look familiar?" Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Mrs. Xing walked around those objects.She opened a mahogany box, which contained a whole set of thin-bodied porcelain tea sets, and picked up a small cup, "It's like this set of tea sets, why do I have to be from the house?"
She thought about it, and after a while, she suddenly said: "By the way, this is something from the mansion. The master mentioned it specifically last time. This is an item bestowed by the emperor in the early years, but it has not been used for a long time, and I don't know how to put it away." Where did you go? Hehe, it turned out that it was kept at Steward Zhou’s house for safekeeping. The second family’s warehouse, tell me, is Zhou’s warehouse safer than ours?”
Mrs. Wang's complexion was quite ugly, and Jia Zhu was similar, but Mrs. Xing didn't care about this, and pointed out all the objects, some of which she knew, and some of which she didn't know, but they seemed to be of great value, by no means A family can have a child.Every time she said something, Mrs. Wang's complexion became ugly, and it was already dark before she finished speaking.
In addition to these, there are six large boxes, all of which are made of good wood such as huanghuali and red sandalwood.Opening one by one, it almost dazzles people's eyes.There were neat silver ingots in five boxes, and more than half a box of gold ingots in the remaining boxes.You don't even need points, if you say that Zhou Rui is not greedy, no one can believe it.
In fact, to say that all the money belonged to Zhou Rui would be wronging him.The couple helped Mrs. Wang put usury money, which was last year's interest money. It was in the shop of Zhou Rui's son-in-law Leng Zixing, and they were planning to send it to the bank for deposit.It turned out that it was such a coincidence that Jia Lian took him straight.But others don't know, they just think that Zhou Rui is really greedy.
Suddenly seeing so much silver, even Mrs. Xing was a little taken aback.Then he stared at Mrs. Wang sharply, and secretly scolded this woman for being too vile.Even her servants have been greedy so much, how much has she been greedy in Rongguo Mansion all these years?Thinking about her dowry that is getting less and less, Mrs. Xing is determined to follow the greed.Dirty.Fight to the end!
"Okay, now it's clear at a glance." Jia Lian didn't intend to open the small box that Kunlun handed over.He walked to the side of Zhou Rui and his wife, shook his head and said, "Your slaves call your servants, and you are well-clothed and well-fed. It's already decent enough for a slave to do what you do. Why don't you know how to cherish your blessings? Treating the master's family like this, you are What do you think?"
"Hmph, what do they think? It's just bullshit and bullying." Jia She and Jia Zheng both walked through the hallway and came to the courtyard.Jia She glanced at the finances on the ground, then curled his lips at Jia Zheng and Wang, "Second, this is the housekeeper you promoted, you have good eyesight, no wonder you have been able to sit firmly in the sixth-rank position for so many years. "
After all, without caring that Jia Zheng was dizzy with his anger, he went straight to Zhou Rui and pulled the cloth from his mouth, "Look at this, do you have anything else to say? Master, let someone deal with you now." Are you convinced of this family? Your family has been decent for several lifetimes, and if you let a bastard like you ruin it, Lao Zhou will not rest in peace in the underground."
"Master, ma'am, the slave is deceived by lard and has done something wrong to the master. The slave accepts the punishment. I just hope that the master can see the elders' sake and spare the slave's children. They don't know what the slave did. These things are all innocent. Please forgive me..." Zhou Rui knew that he would not be spared, so he kowtowed, only begging for mercy for his children.
"Father, don't get angry for such a person, it's not worth it." Jia Lian saw the disappointment in the eyes of cheap father, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and helped him sit on the chair.The old Zhou that the cheap father said is probably Zhou Rui's father, I don't know what kind of friendship he has with the cheap father.He persuaded: "Why don't you send them to my village for labor reform."
Jia Amnesty knew that he had a Zhuangzi who opened a workshop, so he nodded after thinking about it.They didn't intend to ask Jia Zheng and his wife what they meant, and the two father and son decided so happily.As soon as Jia Xiaolian waved his hand, Kunlun conveniently ordered someone to take him down.Jia Lian said worriedly: "Father, looking at Zhou Rui like this, I don't know how many moths there are in the mansion, why don't we check them all."
"It should be so!" Jia She nodded vigorously.He has long been dissatisfied with these slaves who control the mansion, and now that he plans to tear himself apart with the second room, he simply cleans up the whole nest.He didn't intend to keep any of the houses that worked under Mrs. Wang's hands, so he simply took advantage of this time to sweep them all out, especially Wu Xindeng, who was in charge of the accountant.
"Brother, don't make such a big move." Jia Zheng hastily stopped him, thinking that the elder brother and his son were just messing around.No one ransacked the house in his own home, and there was no evidence, just for the sake of ransacking the house.This is simply unreasonable!Besides, after copying it down like this, the mansion is not in chaos anymore, so how can people do things in panic.
"Why not?" Jia Amnesty glared, pointed at Jia Zheng's nose, and cursed, "I haven't said anything about you yet, yet you still dare to speak out. Look at the things on the ground, and then think about what your daughter-in-law is doing." The housekeeper? They say that the life in the mansion is getting more and more difficult all day long, and they live on their own food. It’s not that they have to live on their own food, it’s so cheap for these slaves.”
"Your daughter-in-law has managed such a result for more than ten years? Oh, I understand. Cooperating with you, you think that in the end, you can't share much of the things in this mansion. It's just right if you lose everything, so you can save money, old man, don't you?" ? Let me tell you, prudence, I just copied this one today, and it doesn’t work for anyone. I teach my slaves a lesson, and no one cares.”
Jia Zheng fell twice, and if Jia Zhu hadn't helped him up, he would have almost collapsed.It was only in Rongqing Hall just now, few people heard Jia She scolding him.But now outside the Neiyi Gate, in broad daylight, being treated like this by Jia She, no matter how lenient Jia Zheng was, he couldn't bear it.How dare the boss, how dare he humiliate himself like this!
Jia Xiaolian was a little amused to see cheap father scolding so readily.When he saw Jia She for the first time, he thought he was a serious person, but he didn't expect that he was a master who could go up in the hall and scold his mother.The cheap daddy is splashing, hehe... others don't know, anyway, the second political master can't bear it at all.He shook the box in his hand, ordering people to continue raiding the house.
Mrs. Wang stared at the box intently. Although she didn't see Jia Lian open it, she already knew what was inside.As long as she thought that this thing fell into the hands of Da Fang and his son, her heart would tighten and tighten.It was the receipt for her loan sharks. Although not all of them, the amount on it was already enormous.How can I get it back?
Jia Lian turned his eyes suddenly, and happened to meet Mrs. Wang's longing eyes.He shook the box curiously, and asked: "Why, the second wife has also taken a fancy to this box?"
No.20 Returning to the Dalai Lama Rongfu Timbanfu to seize the handle and Jia Amnesty to separate the family
Mrs. Wang restrained her eagerness, and pretended to smile indifferently, "Did Lian'er also like it? I saw that the pattern on it was strange, as if I had never seen it before. But, the wood of this box is not very good. Well, Lian'er might as well give it to Second Aunt. Ming'er will ask Zhu'er to find a better one for you." As he spoke, he wanted to take the box into his hand.
She didn't know if this little bastard knew something, but as long as the evidence wasn't in his hands, she wouldn't be afraid of anything.This time, she was also careless. She didn't expect Dafang to take advantage of the problem and suddenly made trouble, so she was caught off guard.Not only was a large sum of money lost, but even the handle fell into the hands of the people, and this can no longer be the case in the future.
"It's a pity, I also like the patterns on this box very much, and I don't want to part with it." Jia Lian looked at the flat 'patterns' of the box and shook his shoulders with a smile, "The second wife pity me for being young and not seeing much of the world. , don’t grab such a novel pattern from me. When I go to the street tomorrow, I will find a few similar boxes for the second wife, or I will make one for you just like this.”
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mrs. Wang knew she was wrong.She patronized the things in the nervous box, but she didn't see that there were no patterns on the box at all.Not only failed to get the things back, but was ridiculed by a brat, Mrs. Wang turned her face blank again, secretly grinding her teeth bitterly.She didn't notice at all that Jia pardoned the dispute between Jia Zheng and didn't know that Jia Lian's people went on to raid the house.
Jia Zheng was very angry, he was about to be scolded by the boss to smoke here, and that woman from the Wang family still cared about this box, she simply didn't take him seriously.The second master of politics lamented that his husband was weak, and at the same time was scolded bloody by the elder master. His rigid thinking could not keep up with the speed of the elder master's cursing...
At this time, in the upper room of Rongqingtang, Shi Taijun had already regained his sobriety.It's just that due to "sickness", he didn't appear in person.She listened to Yuanyang's report with a gloomy face, and she had a clear grasp of the situation in the yard over there.While the old lady hated Zhou Rui's family for betraying the master, she wondered what the eldest family wanted to do.
For a long time, this mansion has always been peaceful and peaceful, why did the big house make so many things, making everyone, young and old, feel uneasy.Shi Taijun didn't feel that he was biased, he just felt that Da Fang and the others were dissatisfied and wanted to make trouble out of nothing.In addition to being even more displeased with the elder brother, he was also afraid that the elder would take advantage of the chaos and propose a separation.
When I heard that Jia She and his son were not satisfied with copying Zhou Rui's house, but they wanted to continue copying, I couldn't sit still.Alas, the children and grandchildren are ignorant, so she, an old fellow, dragged her "heavily sick body" out to take charge of the overall situation.How can there be such a copy of the servant's house? Those who don't know think that the Rongguo Mansion is poor and crazy, and even the servants will not let go of the search.What a disgrace!
When Yuanyang arrived with the trembling Shi Taijun on his back, Jia Lian's large team of house raids had already returned, carrying big and small bags on their shoulders and hands.Following behind was still a string of bound servants.After the things were arranged according to the heads of the people, there was no place for people to stand in this large yard, and all kinds of objects that should not be owned by servants were full.
As soon as Shi Taijun passed the hallway, what he saw was such a scene, and his heart turned pale with shock.She knew that the servants in the mansion were a little bit petty, and some of them were cheating on kickbacks. The water was so clear that there were no fish. Most of the time, she passed by with her eyes open and closed, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.She only glanced at it, and the things here almost equaled half of the Rongguo Mansion.
In this way, Shi Taijun became unfriendly when he opened the eyes of those who were copied.These slaves are too disappointing, and her tolerance has a limit, so she must not forgive her.But when he thought that the boss and his son had found out about this matter, Shi Taijun felt a little uncomfortable.She has been allowing Mrs. Wang to hold the power of the housekeeper, and the big house has long been dissatisfied. If something like this happens, it will be even more...
Jia Lian had already seen Shi Taijun from the corner of his eye, but Quan pretended not to, and quickly ordered: "Send all these slaves who are rich in private pockets to Zhuangzi, and let them work honestly for the master, or send them all to the yamen. "He didn't care what Shi Taijun's plans were, and he sent people directly to his own Zhuangzi to undergo labor reform.
"Wait..." Shi Taijun hurriedly shouted, and she had to give these servants a good lesson to show her demeanor as an old lady.In addition, there are all her and Wang's confidantes, so it is impossible to send them all away at once.However, Jia Lian's subordinates didn't listen to her, they just dragged them away and took them away.They acted as the second master's servants, took the second master's money, and of course only obeyed the second master's orders.
"Old lady, why did you go to the ground?" Jia She, with an anxious face, said angrily to the maid beside Shi Taijun: "The old lady is so precious, if you don't take good care of her, how dare you push the old lady to go to the ground?" Walking around? I don’t know why the old lady was still in a coma just now, and couldn’t wake up even after being pricked? Look at the old lady’s face, it’s as white as paper..."
"Hmph, if you father and son don't be angry with me, I'll be fine. What's going on? I can finally rest for a while, but you're just making a mess here, making people unclean. And those servants just now, Why didn't you interrogate them clearly, and sent them all away? This matter has its own severity, how can it be done across the board?"
Shi Taijun glared at the three members of the big house with a sullen face, and kept scolding, "Boss, you are so old, how can you mess around like Lian'er? It's true that you copied the slave's house, but you don't need to make such a big fuss , let other people know, it will only make fun of our family’s lack of rules. You and Zheng’er also have to go out to socialize, aren’t you afraid that people will see clearly?”
"Rules? Old lady, there are no rules in the Rongguo Mansion. This is something that everyone in the capital knows. I have long been afraid of people making fun of me. I just laugh. Anyway, I am that useless. If others want to laugh, I can't cover it." His mouth." Jia She didn't care, and satirized with a smile: "Besides, what I'm doing now is setting rules."
"Hun said, the most unruly person in Rongguo Mansion is you!" Shi Taijun's fingertips trembled with anger, she knew what Jia Amnesty meant, that everyone in the capital knew that Rongguo Mansion did not distinguish between young and old.But there are some things she can do, but she doesn't allow others to say it. "It's fine if you don't have the rules. The Lian'er I'm teaching now is also a no-rule one. You've spoiled all the good children..."
The old lady was in the midst of training, when a voice interrupted her without hesitation, "Master, everything has been counted, total: gold...silver...porcelain...gold and silverware...jewelry...antique calligraphy and painting ... Cloth and satin..." Listening to the report of this item, the number is even more shocking than the real thing.
"Heh... old lady, the rule in our mansion is to feed the servants below, but the masters can't even pay 100 taels of silver, is it?" He said that he went to pay the housekeeping last month Yinzi, however, was pushed back and forth by Wu Xindeng, and finally backfired before it was over.Jia Amnesty no longer maintained a respectful demeanor, the sarcasm on his face was simply glaring.
"Okay, let's put everything in the warehouse, and make a detailed list." Jia Lian winked at Kunlun, and the young man immediately knew where the warehouse should be returned, so he simply took orders and directed his brothers Start moving things.Jia Lian turned around and winked at Jia She, "Father, you should discuss with the old lady how the family should be divided."
With one word out, everyone except Jia She was taken aback.Although he had been mentally prepared for the fact that the first house was about to split up, when this was brought up, Shi Taijun and the people in the second house suddenly changed their colors.Dafang made so many troubles today, it seems that it is for the purpose of separating the family.real
Jia Xiaolian was in a hurry, but his steps were not so fast.Regardless of whether Shi Taijun is really dizzy or not, he is not in a hurry.Jia Xiaolian is already a little impatient with Shi Taijun, since he has reached the age of enjoying his old age, why should he point fingers like this, honestly pamper him, and enjoy his old age, isn't it good?
The doctor came very quickly, so Jia Xiaolian didn't ask anyone to invite the imperial physician, and it was too troublesome to hand over the sign, so the doctor from the nearby Baohetang was invited.He led the doctor to go in, but suddenly there was a person blocking the way in front of him.Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Rui, the second housekeeper.Jia Lian stopped and stared at the slave without saying a word, wanting to see what he was going to do.
"Second Master Lian, the master has ordered that the doctor should be brought in by the younger one. However, the old lady is very expensive, and I am afraid that ordinary doctors are not good enough. Please hurry up and invite Doctor Wang to come." Zhou Rui didn't talk to Jia Lian either. After saluting, he only lowered his head, and went to greet the doctor as soon as he explained the words, "Our old lady fainted from anger, please hurry up and take a few steps."
This doctor is also a famous doctor who is well-known far and near, and his face is a bit ugly after hearing this.You can trust the imperial physician but not him, so why ask him to make this trip.However, after all, there is a doctor's benevolence, and he is afraid of delaying the patient, so the doctor decided to go in with Zhou Rui without saying anything.However, this doctor has also made up his mind that he will not go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion again.
Jia Lian knew that the master Zhou Rui was talking about could only be Jia Zheng, and he also knew whose power this slave was relying on.But he didn't mind at all, on the contrary, he was very happy.Zhengchou had no reason to make things difficult for Jia Zheng and Wang. This week, Zhou Rui had a flair, so he just sent it to his door.He hasn't been in the mansion for a few years, so it's time for these servants to know that Second Master Lian is also a bad tempered person.
"Doctor Wu, this slave can't speak, please forgive me. Even the envoy Li Yuan of the Supreme Hospital has praised your medical skills. Please go in and treat the old lady." Jia Lian ignored Zhou Rui and smiled to comfort her. The doctor said a few words, "Shushan, send Doctor Wu to Rongqing Hall, Mother Zhao is already waiting."
The doctor was quite satisfied with Jia Lian's attitude, nodded and followed Kunlun away.Jia Lian turned to look at Zhou Rui when they had disappeared.Zhou Rui had already been pushed to kneel down, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, and he was staring at Jia Lian with his neck stuck up in dissatisfaction.His face was flushed, he kept struggling, and he made a whining sound, obviously wanting to say something.
They think that where they are, between the inner and outer gates, all the servants who come and go will look over secretly.There were speculations in my heart, and I didn't know how Steward Zhou offended Second Master Lian, and was humiliated in such a public manner.However, Steward Zhou is also a respectable master in the house, isn't it a little too much for Second Master Lian to do this? !
Jia Lian patted Zhou Rui with a fan, curled his mouth and said, "Looking at you like this, you seem very unconvinced? Do you have something to say, do you have a reason to argue? You are the butler of the mansion, the second wife The one who was promoted is from the second room, do you think that the master has no right to treat you like this? Are you still thinking that you will try to make some troubles for the master in the future?"
"It's a pity, I don't want to listen to you, so you can't talk to me. Who told... I'm the master now?!" Jia Lian's villain got his wish and smiled brighter.He threw away the fan in his hand, and ordered: "Kunlun, my lord sees that this servant is not very disciplined. You take someone to search his house, and everyone in his house, big and small, will look at him."
Zhou Rui was startled when he heard the words, he didn't say anything yet, how could he have ransacked his house? !And, why?He is the son of the family, and the hard work of the family for several lifetimes has made him decent today. Why would Jia Lian end up in the search for a single sentence?More importantly, there are things in this family that must not be copied out.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui couldn't help but struggled more intensely, pressing his tongue against the cloth ball in his mouth, trying desperately to speak.But the people behind him were merciless, after a few heavy punches, Zhou Rui's face immediately turned from red to white.He couldn't struggle any longer, so he could only wink to the servants around him, hoping that someone would report to his master.
Jia Lian didn't care about his little tricks, and asked someone to set up a chair in front of the hall, and sat down with a sword.Mrs. Wang not only annoyed her father, Jia She, this time, but also annoyed him.If he didn't make trouble for that woman, how could Second Master Lian's anger be calmed down.It just so happened that this servant bumped into him again, relying on that woman's power, he still wanted to show him face, if he didn't punish him, who would he punish?
Not to mention, the butler on Tuesday still has many confidants and followers.Even if Jia Xiaolian was staring intently, someone sneaked around to report the news.Jia Lian waved his hand, not letting anyone stop them.He is not afraid of anyone coming now, if no one is to witness, wouldn't it be a waste of expression to show Second Master Lian's arrogance to anyone? !
"Second brother, what are you doing? The old lady hasn't woken up yet. If you don't guard her old man's house, what are you doing here with Brother Zhou?" Jia Zhu was the first witness to appear. With just one glance, Jia Lian was a little apprehensive.But Mrs. Wang ordered him to come and have a look, and he had to come, so he had to bite the bullet and come over to rescue Zhou Rui.
Seeing Jia Zhu, Jia Lian didn't even owe him an inch, sat firmly, and then looked at him with the eyes of a fool.It wasn't until Jia Zhu became angry from embarrassment that he stared at Jia Zhu, and then he smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, you didn't guard the old lady either. If there are too many people in the upper room, the air will be bad, which is not good for the old lady's recovery, so I still hide." Stay away. As for Big Brother Zhou... who is that?"
Jia Lian's eyes didn't have any hidden meaning, which made Jia Zhu clearly see his contempt, and also made Jia Zhu vomit blood in his heart.He understood what Jia Lian meant, and it was obvious that he looked down on calling him a slave brother.Because Zhou Rui and his wife are Mrs. Wang's confidantes, he usually calls them brother and sister, and he doesn't think much of it, but now he is caught and despised by Jia Lian.
"Steward Zhou's family has done their best for the family for generations. The second brother should have some respect for him. You are still young, the second brother, and you don't know how valuable these loyal servants are. We are a big family. People, if you don’t treat your loyal servants kindly, I’m afraid it will chill people’s hearts.” Jia Zhu held back his anger, and pretended to preach with earnestness, but stopped calling 'Brother Zhou'.
"Loyal servant? Loyal or not, you'll know when the raiders come back. Big Brother Pig must not make a conclusion now. Come on, quickly bring a chair for Big Brother Pig. He's weak and can't work hard." Jia Lian He raised his eyebrows and smiled, casually speaking.Suddenly, he clapped his hands in surprise, and asked with a strange expression: "Oh, Brother Zhu, is this slave you said Brother Zhou?"
"It's strange. I haven't heard that Zhou Rui has any relatives with our family? Although our family started in the wild, there is absolutely no reason for relatives to sell themselves as slaves for us. Could it be... this Zhou Rui Is it the second wife’s relative? It must be so, why didn’t Big Brother Zhu say earlier that the Dragon King Temple was almost washed away by the flood.” As he spoke, he looked at Jia Zhu sympathetically.
"You..." Jia Zhu was so angry that his chest hurt and her throat was sweet.He was just a title, but this kid caught him talking nonsense, and he even connected him with a servant, it was just a nonsense to the extreme.Looking at Jia Lian's sympathetic face, Jia Zhu was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he said with a straight face, "Second brother, please be careful with your words."
Jia Lian ignored him with a smile, and just ordered people to serve tea and snacks, looking leisurely.Seeing that this was not going to work, Jia Zhu winked quietly, and the servant who was following him quickly ran away.Jia Lian saw it, and glanced at Big Brother Zhu with a smile, but remained silent.Who should be the next to witness?I'm afraid Mrs. Wang won't be able to sit still.
"Let go of Butler Zhou first. I want to ask him how bold he is and how he dared to offend the second brother. He must have made a big mistake to make the second brother go to war like this." Jia Zhu thought it was okay to wait. , Said to the person holding Zhou Rui.What he meant in his words was nothing more than saying that Jia Lian made a fuss out of a molehill.
Unexpectedly, those two people didn't listen to him at all, let alone move, they didn't even look at him.Uncle Zhu couldn't hold back anymore, and his face became more and more gloomy.Only then did he discover that the people around Jia Lian, except Kunlun and Shushan, who were familiar faces, were all people he had never seen before.Jia Zhu's heart trembled, could it be that Jia Lian had already been training people?
"Talking about you! Didn't you hear the uncle's order, why don't you let Steward Zhou go quickly?" There are people in this world who can't see the situation clearly.Jia Zhu's personal bodyguard is like this, if the master is difficult to say, he is the spokesperson.As he said that, the long man rushed over angrily, intending to release Zhou Rui with his own hands.
He had a good plan in mind, this move was to please the uncle and show his loyalty; it was to please Zhou Rui and sell him favors.Moreover, he didn't think that the second master Lian really dared to confront the uncle. After all, the uncle was the eldest grandson of the family and the old lady's favorite.It's a pity that wishful thinking is good, and it's also good when it's kicked.
As soon as he rushed to Zhou Rui, he was kicked back, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out two front teeth mixed with blood.As soon as he yelled "Ouch", Jia Zhu stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Second brother, what do you mean? Could it be that I, as the uncle of the Rongguo Mansion, can't even ask questions? "He didn't mention the long entourage, just holding on to this.
Jia Lian glanced over, put away the smile on his face, leaned closer to Jia Zhu and said in a low voice, "Just because I am the son of a first-rank general, and you are only the son of the head of the sixth-rank Ministry of Industry. Uncle Rongguo Mansion? What does your uncle have to do with the Rongguo Mansion? Is it your father who can inherit the title, or you?"
His voice was so low that Jia Zhu could hear it indistinctly, but every word seemed to be engraved on Jia Zhu's heart...
No.19 Back to Mrs. Xing against Mrs. Wang Mrs. She and Mrs. She suppressed Mr. Zheng
Regardless of the distraught Jia Zhu, Jia Lian maintained a happy mood of knocking out the enemy, waiting for the results of the house raid in Kunlun.In his previous life, the job he was engaged in prevented him from bullying others like this.Every time I see others being so arrogant, I always secretly envy and hate.Now, he was finally able to deeply experience the feeling of bullying others and being a villain.
Mrs. Wang came here with Zhou Rui's family who was crying loudly, and Mrs. Xing with her mouth curled up.Although Mrs. Xing was not close to Jia Lian, she was even more hostile to Mrs. Wang.Although she got half of the housekeeping power in exchange, what Wang threw to her were trivial matters, and the power was still firmly held.Mrs. Xing is dissatisfied with her.
Now, Jia Lian is clearly going to make trouble for Wang Shi, how can she be unhappy as a mother.Even if she knew it wasn't for her, Mrs. Xing had the right to take it as her stepson venting her anger for her stepmother.Moreover, in the past two or three years, Jia Lian did not return to the residence often, which did not affect her life; every time she came back, there were things to honor her, which gave her enough face as a mother. Mrs. Xing was quite satisfied with Jia Lian.
She is a woman in the inner house, and people in the inner courtyard don't listen to her orders very much. There is this Zhou Rui's family member who often acts obsequiously in front of her, and sometimes dares to shirk responsibility. Mrs. Xing has long disliked her.Incidentally, her man Zhou Rui was also on Mrs. Xing's blacklist.Now that Zhou Rui is going to be unlucky and Mrs. Wang is going to be ashamed, how can Mrs. Xing not come to watch?
As for the old lady who was still unconscious in the upper room, Mrs. Xing let out a pooh in her heart, that she couldn't even pretend to be.Mingming's complexion is ruddy, but he doesn't wake up no matter whether he pinches someone or sticks an needle; Mingming's eyeballs are rolling around under his eyes, but he still pretends to be unconscious. Who is he?Isn't it just that she likes the stars to hold the moon, but it is not as good as her wish.
"Come on, pull Zhou Rui down, beat him twenty big boards, and fine him a year's monthly money." Mrs. Wang ordered loudly as soon as she passed the hall.She had just heard that Jia Lian was determined to save Zhou Rui's face, so it would be better if she punished him first, leaving him speechless.As she walked, she said to Zhou Rui's family: "Don't cry, as a slave, no matter why the master wants to punish, it should be punished."
These words are interesting, implying that Jia Lian is a vexatious person, which made Zhou Rui's family cry louder and more sadly.Someone nearby was going to take over Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui's family wanted to jump up, but none of these people could get close to Zhou Rui, and two strong young men behind Jia Lian stopped him.Even, because he thought Zhou Rui's family was making a fuss, he tied her up and gagged her and threw her beside Zhou Rui.
"Why is my wife here? There are so many people here, how can I offend my wife?" Jia Lian got up to meet Mrs. Xing, let her sit on his chair, and didn't even look at Mrs. Wang, who was showing off the wife's profile.He wasn't worried about what Mrs. Wang could do, as his subordinates wouldn't listen to her, the wife in charge.
"It's not that these slaves don't have eyes. You just came back from Jinling for a few days, and they dared to make you angry. Your father was worried that you would lose your temper, so he sent me to help. It just so happens that the younger siblings were also invited by Zhou Rui's family. If it’s moving, let’s come over and see what’s going on.” Mrs. Xing sat down with a smile, and while she was talking, she looked at Mrs. Wang, who had a more dull expression, feeling overjoyed in her heart.
Mrs. Wang was anxious, and she didn't care about Xing's gloating, she just glanced at Jia Lian with a fierce look in her eyes.Immediately, she resumed her benevolent look again, and persuaded: "Lian'er, why is this slave so mad at you? Just tell Second Aunt that Second Aunt will punish him for you, and don't get mad at yourself." Otherwise, not only my eldest brother and sister-in-law, but also your second uncle and I will feel distressed."
"Furthermore, our family also wants to be a decent family. It doesn't seem like a mess like this, don't you think? Why don't we change places and discuss how to deal with Zhou Rui, so that others won't see the joke. Sister-in-law, You also persuade Lian'er, he is young, but he doesn't know the importance of cherishing his reputation."
"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Why doesn't Lian'er cherish her reputation? Is it to cherish reputation by conniving slaves to bully the master and letting them all climb on the head of the master to act wildly? If so, then it's worth noting the reputation. Things in this world should be done aboveboard, our family is just dealing with a slave, what is there to hide from others?"
Mrs. Xing has lived comfortably in the past two or three years, and her mind is not as narrow-minded as it used to be.When she was a girl at home back then, she was eloquent, slick, and sharp-edged, otherwise she wouldn't have survived the death of her parents and kept her family property.A few years ago when she married into Rongguo Mansion, she was indeed a bit petty, but now with Jia Amnesty's support, it's different, and her waist is also straight.
"Yes, what my wife said is right. There is nothing you have to say about our family. Second wife, please be calm. I have already sent someone to copy this servant's house. It won't be long before someone can Come back. At that time, there will be a conclusion on whether this slave is loyal or traitor. If he is a good man, the master will personally make an apology for him and let his family go free."
Jia Lian sat on the chair newly brought by his servants, and did not call Mrs. Wang to sit, and said slowly: "But if he is not a good person, he dares to deceive his superiors and conceal his inferiors, embezzles and loses money, and commits crimes outside under the name of his master... Just let him know what is the consequence of making the master angry, and how serious it is." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang.
It was the first time Mrs. Wang had heard about the ransacking of the house, and she couldn't help but stare fiercely at the servant who reported the news.Jia Zhu's servant came late and didn't know that Jia Lian had sent someone to raid Zhou Rui's house, and the servant who was talking in front of him didn't understand what he said, so Madam Wang didn't know about it until then.Copy the house?How can I copy it?There are things in Zhou Rui's house that cannot be seen!
"Nonsense! There's no reason for your own family to copy your own family, why don't you hurry up and call him back. You guys, go over and have a look, don't let them throw him outside." Mrs. Wang is really anxious now. He couldn't even maintain the kind expression on his face, so he ordered people to rush over in a panic.This is not at ease, but I have to go there in person.
Mrs. Xing's eyes were quick and her hands were quick, she grabbed her and did not let go, and said in her mouth: "Second brother, are you out of your mind, why do you dare to say anything stupid. Zhou Rui is just the son of our family, How did you become your own family? Do you recognize this relative, or the second master? Anyway, our eldest family dare not recognize it."
What he said made Jia Lian laugh beside him, and couldn't help but look at Jia Zhu with a playful look.It was the first time he discovered that he and Mrs. Xing could get along so well.He had just said that Jia Zhu cheated on relatives, but Mrs. Xing put the words on Mrs. Wang again in a blink of an eye, which was very funny.Not only did he laugh, even Zhou Wei's servants kept their heads down and shrugged their shoulders.
Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu's mother and son were so angry that they were lying on their backs. Just as they were about to explode, there was a burst of noise.The voice sounded not far away, and after a while, Kunlun brought someone over.Almost everyone was holding something in their hands, and even carried a few large boxes.After that, there is a group of Zhou family members who were tied back with their mouths gagged.Even things and people, put a large piece in the yard.
"Hey, what are these? Why do they look familiar?" Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Mrs. Xing walked around those objects.She opened a mahogany box, which contained a whole set of thin-bodied porcelain tea sets, and picked up a small cup, "It's like this set of tea sets, why do I have to be from the house?"
She thought about it, and after a while, she suddenly said: "By the way, this is something from the mansion. The master mentioned it specifically last time. This is an item bestowed by the emperor in the early years, but it has not been used for a long time, and I don't know how to put it away." Where did you go? Hehe, it turned out that it was kept at Steward Zhou’s house for safekeeping. The second family’s warehouse, tell me, is Zhou’s warehouse safer than ours?”
Mrs. Wang's complexion was quite ugly, and Jia Zhu was similar, but Mrs. Xing didn't care about this, and pointed out all the objects, some of which she knew, and some of which she didn't know, but they seemed to be of great value, by no means A family can have a child.Every time she said something, Mrs. Wang's complexion became ugly, and it was already dark before she finished speaking.
In addition to these, there are six large boxes, all of which are made of good wood such as huanghuali and red sandalwood.Opening one by one, it almost dazzles people's eyes.There were neat silver ingots in five boxes, and more than half a box of gold ingots in the remaining boxes.You don't even need points, if you say that Zhou Rui is not greedy, no one can believe it.
In fact, to say that all the money belonged to Zhou Rui would be wronging him.The couple helped Mrs. Wang put usury money, which was last year's interest money. It was in the shop of Zhou Rui's son-in-law Leng Zixing, and they were planning to send it to the bank for deposit.It turned out that it was such a coincidence that Jia Lian took him straight.But others don't know, they just think that Zhou Rui is really greedy.
Suddenly seeing so much silver, even Mrs. Xing was a little taken aback.Then he stared at Mrs. Wang sharply, and secretly scolded this woman for being too vile.Even her servants have been greedy so much, how much has she been greedy in Rongguo Mansion all these years?Thinking about her dowry that is getting less and less, Mrs. Xing is determined to follow the greed.Dirty.Fight to the end!
"Okay, now it's clear at a glance." Jia Lian didn't intend to open the small box that Kunlun handed over.He walked to the side of Zhou Rui and his wife, shook his head and said, "Your slaves call your servants, and you are well-clothed and well-fed. It's already decent enough for a slave to do what you do. Why don't you know how to cherish your blessings? Treating the master's family like this, you are What do you think?"
"Hmph, what do they think? It's just bullshit and bullying." Jia She and Jia Zheng both walked through the hallway and came to the courtyard.Jia She glanced at the finances on the ground, then curled his lips at Jia Zheng and Wang, "Second, this is the housekeeper you promoted, you have good eyesight, no wonder you have been able to sit firmly in the sixth-rank position for so many years. "
After all, without caring that Jia Zheng was dizzy with his anger, he went straight to Zhou Rui and pulled the cloth from his mouth, "Look at this, do you have anything else to say? Master, let someone deal with you now." Are you convinced of this family? Your family has been decent for several lifetimes, and if you let a bastard like you ruin it, Lao Zhou will not rest in peace in the underground."
"Master, ma'am, the slave is deceived by lard and has done something wrong to the master. The slave accepts the punishment. I just hope that the master can see the elders' sake and spare the slave's children. They don't know what the slave did. These things are all innocent. Please forgive me..." Zhou Rui knew that he would not be spared, so he kowtowed, only begging for mercy for his children.
"Father, don't get angry for such a person, it's not worth it." Jia Lian saw the disappointment in the eyes of cheap father, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and helped him sit on the chair.The old Zhou that the cheap father said is probably Zhou Rui's father, I don't know what kind of friendship he has with the cheap father.He persuaded: "Why don't you send them to my village for labor reform."
Jia Amnesty knew that he had a Zhuangzi who opened a workshop, so he nodded after thinking about it.They didn't intend to ask Jia Zheng and his wife what they meant, and the two father and son decided so happily.As soon as Jia Xiaolian waved his hand, Kunlun conveniently ordered someone to take him down.Jia Lian said worriedly: "Father, looking at Zhou Rui like this, I don't know how many moths there are in the mansion, why don't we check them all."
"It should be so!" Jia She nodded vigorously.He has long been dissatisfied with these slaves who control the mansion, and now that he plans to tear himself apart with the second room, he simply cleans up the whole nest.He didn't intend to keep any of the houses that worked under Mrs. Wang's hands, so he simply took advantage of this time to sweep them all out, especially Wu Xindeng, who was in charge of the accountant.
"Brother, don't make such a big move." Jia Zheng hastily stopped him, thinking that the elder brother and his son were just messing around.No one ransacked the house in his own home, and there was no evidence, just for the sake of ransacking the house.This is simply unreasonable!Besides, after copying it down like this, the mansion is not in chaos anymore, so how can people do things in panic.
"Why not?" Jia Amnesty glared, pointed at Jia Zheng's nose, and cursed, "I haven't said anything about you yet, yet you still dare to speak out. Look at the things on the ground, and then think about what your daughter-in-law is doing." The housekeeper? They say that the life in the mansion is getting more and more difficult all day long, and they live on their own food. It’s not that they have to live on their own food, it’s so cheap for these slaves.”
"Your daughter-in-law has managed such a result for more than ten years? Oh, I understand. Cooperating with you, you think that in the end, you can't share much of the things in this mansion. It's just right if you lose everything, so you can save money, old man, don't you?" ? Let me tell you, prudence, I just copied this one today, and it doesn’t work for anyone. I teach my slaves a lesson, and no one cares.”
Jia Zheng fell twice, and if Jia Zhu hadn't helped him up, he would have almost collapsed.It was only in Rongqing Hall just now, few people heard Jia She scolding him.But now outside the Neiyi Gate, in broad daylight, being treated like this by Jia She, no matter how lenient Jia Zheng was, he couldn't bear it.How dare the boss, how dare he humiliate himself like this!
Jia Xiaolian was a little amused to see cheap father scolding so readily.When he saw Jia She for the first time, he thought he was a serious person, but he didn't expect that he was a master who could go up in the hall and scold his mother.The cheap daddy is splashing, hehe... others don't know, anyway, the second political master can't bear it at all.He shook the box in his hand, ordering people to continue raiding the house.
Mrs. Wang stared at the box intently. Although she didn't see Jia Lian open it, she already knew what was inside.As long as she thought that this thing fell into the hands of Da Fang and his son, her heart would tighten and tighten.It was the receipt for her loan sharks. Although not all of them, the amount on it was already enormous.How can I get it back?
Jia Lian turned his eyes suddenly, and happened to meet Mrs. Wang's longing eyes.He shook the box curiously, and asked: "Why, the second wife has also taken a fancy to this box?"
No.20 Returning to the Dalai Lama Rongfu Timbanfu to seize the handle and Jia Amnesty to separate the family
Mrs. Wang restrained her eagerness, and pretended to smile indifferently, "Did Lian'er also like it? I saw that the pattern on it was strange, as if I had never seen it before. But, the wood of this box is not very good. Well, Lian'er might as well give it to Second Aunt. Ming'er will ask Zhu'er to find a better one for you." As he spoke, he wanted to take the box into his hand.
She didn't know if this little bastard knew something, but as long as the evidence wasn't in his hands, she wouldn't be afraid of anything.This time, she was also careless. She didn't expect Dafang to take advantage of the problem and suddenly made trouble, so she was caught off guard.Not only was a large sum of money lost, but even the handle fell into the hands of the people, and this can no longer be the case in the future.
"It's a pity, I also like the patterns on this box very much, and I don't want to part with it." Jia Lian looked at the flat 'patterns' of the box and shook his shoulders with a smile, "The second wife pity me for being young and not seeing much of the world. , don’t grab such a novel pattern from me. When I go to the street tomorrow, I will find a few similar boxes for the second wife, or I will make one for you just like this.”
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mrs. Wang knew she was wrong.She patronized the things in the nervous box, but she didn't see that there were no patterns on the box at all.Not only failed to get the things back, but was ridiculed by a brat, Mrs. Wang turned her face blank again, secretly grinding her teeth bitterly.She didn't notice at all that Jia pardoned the dispute between Jia Zheng and didn't know that Jia Lian's people went on to raid the house.
Jia Zheng was very angry, he was about to be scolded by the boss to smoke here, and that woman from the Wang family still cared about this box, she simply didn't take him seriously.The second master of politics lamented that his husband was weak, and at the same time was scolded bloody by the elder master. His rigid thinking could not keep up with the speed of the elder master's cursing...
At this time, in the upper room of Rongqingtang, Shi Taijun had already regained his sobriety.It's just that due to "sickness", he didn't appear in person.She listened to Yuanyang's report with a gloomy face, and she had a clear grasp of the situation in the yard over there.While the old lady hated Zhou Rui's family for betraying the master, she wondered what the eldest family wanted to do.
For a long time, this mansion has always been peaceful and peaceful, why did the big house make so many things, making everyone, young and old, feel uneasy.Shi Taijun didn't feel that he was biased, he just felt that Da Fang and the others were dissatisfied and wanted to make trouble out of nothing.In addition to being even more displeased with the elder brother, he was also afraid that the elder would take advantage of the chaos and propose a separation.
When I heard that Jia She and his son were not satisfied with copying Zhou Rui's house, but they wanted to continue copying, I couldn't sit still.Alas, the children and grandchildren are ignorant, so she, an old fellow, dragged her "heavily sick body" out to take charge of the overall situation.How can there be such a copy of the servant's house? Those who don't know think that the Rongguo Mansion is poor and crazy, and even the servants will not let go of the search.What a disgrace!
When Yuanyang arrived with the trembling Shi Taijun on his back, Jia Lian's large team of house raids had already returned, carrying big and small bags on their shoulders and hands.Following behind was still a string of bound servants.After the things were arranged according to the heads of the people, there was no place for people to stand in this large yard, and all kinds of objects that should not be owned by servants were full.
As soon as Shi Taijun passed the hallway, what he saw was such a scene, and his heart turned pale with shock.She knew that the servants in the mansion were a little bit petty, and some of them were cheating on kickbacks. The water was so clear that there were no fish. Most of the time, she passed by with her eyes open and closed, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.She only glanced at it, and the things here almost equaled half of the Rongguo Mansion.
In this way, Shi Taijun became unfriendly when he opened the eyes of those who were copied.These slaves are too disappointing, and her tolerance has a limit, so she must not forgive her.But when he thought that the boss and his son had found out about this matter, Shi Taijun felt a little uncomfortable.She has been allowing Mrs. Wang to hold the power of the housekeeper, and the big house has long been dissatisfied. If something like this happens, it will be even more...
Jia Lian had already seen Shi Taijun from the corner of his eye, but Quan pretended not to, and quickly ordered: "Send all these slaves who are rich in private pockets to Zhuangzi, and let them work honestly for the master, or send them all to the yamen. "He didn't care what Shi Taijun's plans were, and he sent people directly to his own Zhuangzi to undergo labor reform.
"Wait..." Shi Taijun hurriedly shouted, and she had to give these servants a good lesson to show her demeanor as an old lady.In addition, there are all her and Wang's confidantes, so it is impossible to send them all away at once.However, Jia Lian's subordinates didn't listen to her, they just dragged them away and took them away.They acted as the second master's servants, took the second master's money, and of course only obeyed the second master's orders.
"Old lady, why did you go to the ground?" Jia She, with an anxious face, said angrily to the maid beside Shi Taijun: "The old lady is so precious, if you don't take good care of her, how dare you push the old lady to go to the ground?" Walking around? I don’t know why the old lady was still in a coma just now, and couldn’t wake up even after being pricked? Look at the old lady’s face, it’s as white as paper..."
"Hmph, if you father and son don't be angry with me, I'll be fine. What's going on? I can finally rest for a while, but you're just making a mess here, making people unclean. And those servants just now, Why didn't you interrogate them clearly, and sent them all away? This matter has its own severity, how can it be done across the board?"
Shi Taijun glared at the three members of the big house with a sullen face, and kept scolding, "Boss, you are so old, how can you mess around like Lian'er? It's true that you copied the slave's house, but you don't need to make such a big fuss , let other people know, it will only make fun of our family’s lack of rules. You and Zheng’er also have to go out to socialize, aren’t you afraid that people will see clearly?”
"Rules? Old lady, there are no rules in the Rongguo Mansion. This is something that everyone in the capital knows. I have long been afraid of people making fun of me. I just laugh. Anyway, I am that useless. If others want to laugh, I can't cover it." His mouth." Jia She didn't care, and satirized with a smile: "Besides, what I'm doing now is setting rules."
"Hun said, the most unruly person in Rongguo Mansion is you!" Shi Taijun's fingertips trembled with anger, she knew what Jia Amnesty meant, that everyone in the capital knew that Rongguo Mansion did not distinguish between young and old.But there are some things she can do, but she doesn't allow others to say it. "It's fine if you don't have the rules. The Lian'er I'm teaching now is also a no-rule one. You've spoiled all the good children..."
The old lady was in the midst of training, when a voice interrupted her without hesitation, "Master, everything has been counted, total: gold...silver...porcelain...gold and silverware...jewelry...antique calligraphy and painting ... Cloth and satin..." Listening to the report of this item, the number is even more shocking than the real thing.
"Heh... old lady, the rule in our mansion is to feed the servants below, but the masters can't even pay 100 taels of silver, is it?" He said that he went to pay the housekeeping last month Yinzi, however, was pushed back and forth by Wu Xindeng, and finally backfired before it was over.Jia Amnesty no longer maintained a respectful demeanor, the sarcasm on his face was simply glaring.
"Okay, let's put everything in the warehouse, and make a detailed list." Jia Lian winked at Kunlun, and the young man immediately knew where the warehouse should be returned, so he simply took orders and directed his brothers Start moving things.Jia Lian turned around and winked at Jia She, "Father, you should discuss with the old lady how the family should be divided."
With one word out, everyone except Jia She was taken aback.Although he had been mentally prepared for the fact that the first house was about to split up, when this was brought up, Shi Taijun and the people in the second house suddenly changed their colors.Dafang made so many troubles today, it seems that it is for the purpose of separating the family.real
