Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When Lian returned to his room for the second time, the maids and women in the yard rushed to congratulate him.Lian Er didn't care too much, went straight into the inner room, changed clothes in a hurry, told Sister Feng that he had got the real job of the household member Wai Lang, and told Jia She to let him go there quickly, and he had something to do at night, so he came back and explained to her in detail.Sister Feng ordered Ping'er and Feng'er to wait on her, stuffed Jia Lian with some purses, and sent him to Jia Shena.

Jia Lian hurried to eat with Jia She, but he didn't even eat lunch after a busy day, so he couldn't help but ate hungrily.Jia She frowned, put down his chopsticks, and said, "It's getting worse. One meal can make you starve for several lifetimes." Lian Er looked down on Jia She, and he was used to it. Look at him It wasn't for shouting and killing, so he just covered his face and got up to salute, just passing by.

"Father, it's the son who lost his temper." Lian Er obviously didn't care about what he said. "My son didn't even eat lunch. He has been busy since morning, so he drank a few sips of tea in his father's study."

"Are you busy and still wronging you? An ignorant bastard."

"What the father said is true. The son would rather be so busy every day."

After the father and son had eaten, Jia She took Lian Er to the flower hall on the other side. There were many boxes and boxes with lids up and down in the room, and the items inside were not cheap.

Jia Amnesty picked up one at random and said, "It is recorded in this account book that it is a pair of green vases with melon ribs from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty. A counterfeit worth ten taels of silver."

Jia She gave pointers one by one, and finally picked up a phoenix hairpin from a flat long box, "This box was originally marked with a gold inlaid red treasure phoenix hairpin, and the name seems to be right, but the original was given to your mother by your grandmother. Looking at the largest ruby ​​against the light, you can see the words engraved on the side. Your mother once said that it was given to your grandmother by your grandfather when she was born. It is your grandmother's favorite thing. Your mother often Put it on."

"Why is mother's dowry in the big treasury?"

"At the beginning, in order to protect you and my father and son, the old lady acquiesced in everything she did. So once your mother passed away, the old lady would keep her dowry for you. In the future, you can rely on your mother's dowry list , ask the old lady for it."

"Father, where can the genuine products of these things go?"

"I can't get rid of a few whereabouts. The old lady took it and sold it; the second wife took it and sold it; I gave it as a gift; the warehouse manager secretly changed it."

"How can I get it back?"

Jia Amnesty walked towards the study and said, "Your daughter-in-law came over this afternoon and told me that the old slaves in the family have borrowed everything from the housekeeper for many years. This morning, the Xing family sold the concubine Ji of the East Court. For those slaves in the mansion who are stealing clothes, they should pick up the big ones and send them to the government, or sell each person's clothes."

Jia Lian thought hehe, his daughter-in-law's method of punishing the slaves was also cruel.But it's a good idea.

"Father, where did the servants who went to the household department to carry the money come from? My son has never seen it before, so he was shocked."

"The old man left it."

"Then what did my grandfather leave for the child?"

"Your life."

Jia Lian was completely speechless.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go into the palace to thank you. You take those people and surround Lai Da's house. Don't let any one out. Search carefully. I don't know how much of our family's things were stolen by the old killer. The imperial gift found one. One piece is enough. Then send them to the Yamen, and sell them all to Lord Hou."

Lian Er admired Jia She's arrangement, and said repeatedly: "Father, don't worry, your son will do well."

Jia Amnesty trusted Jia Lian's ability to do things, "I found the imperial gift and brought it back to the old lady to see, and the rest picked and brought back some, and the rest were taken to the new house."

Lian wanted to know where the new house was, and was about to ask Jia She, "Father, we will move to the new house in half a month. Maybe it will be tidied up?"

"The house is ready-made. It's at the east end of the Hanlin Hutong. There are three ways to enter the house." Jia She led the way to the study, and said as he walked, "Let your wife bring the children and your sister to go there tomorrow morning. You can't stay in this house." It's done. Seal it up and let Lin Zhixiao's family guard it, and wait for you to come back tomorrow before moving."

Entering the study, Jia Amnesty pulled out a picture, pointed to it, and said, "I'll keep my grandson in the big courtyard on the east side. I'll give it to your sister in the back. I'll use the front on the west side, leave it to the Xing family in the back, and give the courtyard on the west side to Cong." Brother, the first entry and the second entry are for the main hall and study, the third entry and the fourth entry are for you, and the fifth entry is for the elder sister. You take it to your daughter-in-law and go there tomorrow."

Jia Lian took the picture and looked at it carefully. After Jia Amnesty gave no further instructions, he left and went back to his yard.

When Jia Lian went back to his room, he saw that everyone was still packing things, and Sister Feng was still waiting for him.After returning home in the past two days, Jia Lian felt that the sky and the earth had been turned upside down, and he had some important things to do tomorrow, so he simply washed up, put his arms around Sister Feng on the kang and said, "Master, tell me that you will take your younger sister and eldest sister to the new house in Hanlin Hutong tomorrow." , I can't live in this mansion."

Sister Feng said angrily: "You still call your own father like a master?! Would your master be willing?"

Lian Er wiped his face, "I'm used to it. Don't say it, I changed my name to father yesterday, and I saw him look better. You said that in the past, I called my second uncle and aunt Mrs. Master, is it because my father doesn't want to see me? "

"Naturally. Those who don't know think you are the son of your second uncle."

"You are really right. When I was young, I followed Big Brother Zhu, and Big Sister Yuan, and there were only three of us in the family. No one told me that the old man was my father. Later, it was the eldest wife Xing who came in to find out. I was still thinking about why I am not the son of my second uncle. The old man only hugs girls, drinks, and plays with his antiques at home every day. He never takes care of me like my second uncle Guanzhu. Every day I said to follow Big Brother Zhu, follow Big Brother Zhu, Big Brother Zhu was studying, and I sat behind him eagerly, waiting for him to finish reading and play with me for a while. The second wife didn't want me to disturb Big Brother Zhu's study, and then Big Brother Jane will take me with you."

Sister Feng patted Lian Er, and said to herself, "Silly boy, if your father raised you like that, would you survive until now?"

Sister Feng didn't want to talk about this, so she changed the subject and asked him, "Have you seen the house in Hanlin Hutong? How big is it? Did the family have any arrangements in the past?"

"I didn't see it. The old man gave the picture, and I'll show it to you." Jia Lian got up and got down to get the picture, and turned on the lamp.

The girl on night watch outside asked, "Second Lord, what are your orders?"

Sister Feng replied, "It's all right."

Lian Er unfolded the picture and pointed it to Sister Feng, "This is also a yard with three entrances and five entrances. The old man has arranged everything. The east courtyard is reserved for our son, and the small courtyard at the back is reserved for the second sister. The two entrances in front of the main road are reserved. The main hall and the study room. The back three or four will be given to us, and after the fifth one will be given to our eldest sister. The front one on the west side is used by the old man himself, and the back here is for the eldest wife. And the back one is for Brother Cong."

"You are still the old man, the old man. If you do this again, be careful that your father beats you."

Lian Er laughed.

Sister Feng said, "Such a big house can't be prepared in a day and a half. What can you say?"

"What about the house, I haven't had time to ask. Even today in the ancestral hall, Feng'er, you didn't see your father's prestige. In the past, what the old lady said, the father just kept silent, or just said, 'Yes, what the old lady said is right. The old lady wanted to use Laoku’s money to build a family garden, and the father asked the second uncle to go to the household department to have his fingerprints. The old lady scolded the father for being disobedient and unfilial, and the father asked the old lady to transfer the money that should be returned to the court to the second flower. Then he repays the bill, is it filial piety? When the old lady said that she had raised her father’s son for nothing, the father actually replied that she had given the old lady a son. You didn’t see the old lady’s face! And the father said that he had a grandfather The letter left behind, and a nanny of the eldest brother, the old lady stopped talking. What do you think the grandfather's letter will write?"

Sister Feng rolled her eyes in her heart, "Need to say it, the old lady must have been involved in the death of Jia She's eldest son, and she got the old man's witness. The old man left such a letter to keep Jia She alive."

"Feng'er, we are at a great loss when we divide the family. It was originally said that the house would be divided into five and five, and this mansion would be given to the second house. How could we have thought that in order to pay back the money, our first house would not only be divided but also set up another one. Jinling's sacrificial fields, Both Zhuangzi and the shop belong to the second room. Sigh."

"Second Master, that's not how the accounts are calculated. If we don't divide the family, all the money will be used by the relatives. When the family is separated in the future, if there is a concubine, the garden will be given to the big house? Whether it is three or four or four or six, we have to pay back the debt Also, can we have a son? The eldest brother was not young when he fell into the water. Without a son, who will this family be in the future?!"

After a pause, Sister Feng said again: "In Jinling, my housekeeper has not seen any income for so many years. Every time I want to talk to the second wife, the second wife says that people like us must be lenient, and if they are not good, they must be harsh. Yes. You got a real job, so how can you have time to take care of those chores. Hey, how did you get a real job?"

Lian Er beamed again, and said something about the audience.

After congratulating her, Sister Feng jokingly said, "Second Master, what kind of luck are you having? Why don't you take the name of Enbo?"

Lian Er started, "You are narrow."

Sister Feng begged for mercy, and the couple played around for a while.

Lian Er said: "Father said you have been in the study today?"

"Yes. I asked the girl to watch. I heard that after the family division, you went to give the money, and the father went back to the study. I think the second sister's nanny, under our noses, dared to steal it. Then The Lai family has been in charge of our house for many years, and they may have stole a lot! There is also the big brother's falling into the water. If the old lady did it, could it not go through the hands of the Lai family? There are so many constraints from everyone, these days, the food delivered by the big kitchen is hard to guarantee without the participation of the Lai family. The old lady of the Lai family is an old lady's, loyal, and dowry girl."

"Didn't I also pay respect to that bunch of slaves for so many years. Tomorrow, I can see the uselessness of these years."

"Hey, Feng'er, let me tell you, Jia Lian went to Sister Feng's ear, and the master said that he found the imperial gift and sent the Lai family to the yamen. If he couldn't find it, it was just stolen property. The Lai family was sold."

"Second Master Silly, go and copy it, why is there none? You don't even need to bring one and a half, father should have arranged it."

Thank you Jia Lian, it should be like this.

The husband and wife discussed the matter of moving for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
