Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Before dawn, Jia Lian and Sister Feng got up and hurriedly washed and washed. Jia Lian slurped a few snacks and went to see Jia She, wanting to ask Jia She for something from the emperor.Jia She snorted at him and scolded "idiot." He and Lin Zhixiao drove him away.

Lin Zhixiao was not a talkative person, so he cupped Lian Eryi's hand and said, "Second Master, please, everyone has passed."

Jia Lian and Lin Zhixiao took a few servants to ride to Lai's house.Jia Lian got off his horse and told Laiwang to call the door.The concierge of Lai's house heard that it was Laiwang who called the door, and thought that there was something wrong with Jia's mansion, so he opened the door quickly.Laiwang squeezed in with a few servants, and the concierge called, "Laiwang, what are you doing, you bastard? Do you want your grandpa Lai to beat you?"

Laiwang raised his leg and kicked him down, the two servants jumped up and twisted their arms on the ground, Laiwang pulled off his turban and stuffed it into his mouth, then tore off his belt to tie him up, the porter struggled desperately.The people in the porter heard something wrong and rushed out. Before they could shout, they saw Jia Lian enter the door with a sullen face, and hurriedly called, "Second Master, Second Master, this is this? This is?"

A few more came in from behind Jia Lian, who couldn't help but gag him and tie him up. The door opened, and dozens of strong men came in quietly.Everyone walked in with Jia Lian, and they all gagged and tied up the deacons who got up early along the way, but they still had the wit to see that something was wrong, so they ran towards the back house, and after running out for a while, they shouted, "It's not good, it's not good Yes, there are thieves coming in."

Behind Jia Lian, several strong men rushed out to catch him. The silence before dawn was broken by shouts.Several male servants rushed out with sticks, "Where did the thief come from? I don't know that this is Grandpa Lai's house in Rongguo Mansion." When he saw Lian Er, he was like a choked chick, dumbfounded and unable to hold the stick. up.

Lian Er didn't say much, and waved his hand, "It's all tied up."

In just a short while, more people got up in the house, and Lai Da also rushed over. When he saw Lian Er, he cupped his hands, not discerning whether he was happy or angry, "Greetings to the second master. But these slaves offended the second master?"

Lian Er subconsciously wanted to hand in hand, but he still greeted him, "It's tied up, it's all tied up."

Lai shouted, "Second Master Lian, but what did the slave do wrong? Would you like to talk to the Eldest Master?"

Lian Er smiled, "You still know you are a slave! Tell me how many cases do you have every year? Huh? You slave, you serve more people than my eldest son and grandson. This yard is also rewarded by the old lady?"

Lai Da bowed his head and remained silent.

A woman's cries sounded in the inner courtyard, and Jia Lian led the people to continue backward. Along the way, he saw cornices and arched ridges, carved beams and painted buildings, all of which were majestic.Nanny Lai supported the little girl and shouted: "I am the old lady's dowry, Laiwang, you murderous talents, how dare you do this." Seeing Jia Lian, her face became terrified, "Old lady, old lady Ma'am, you are still here, you are the master of this old slave."

Lian Er just looked at Nanny Lai so coolly until Nanny Lai's voice dropped, "Mama still wants to ask the old lady to decide? Mama, do you know if the lake is cold today? Do you want your little grandson to go down and try? "

Grandma Lai widened her eyes in fright, "Second Master Lian, what are you talking about?" He faltered, and finally begged for mercy: "Second Master Lian, Second Master, you know that Nanny is an old slave and has always been Follow your master's orders."

"Really? Since Mammy said so, I will go to the government to testify. Considering Mammy is quite old, she has to think about her children and grandchildren."

"Second Master, Second Master, please spare the old servant's family." Lai Momo knelt down and begged.

"Mommy, it's not that I didn't forgive, why did no one spare my brother back then?"

The members of the Lai family were all tied up. The eldest grandson of Nanny Lai, named Lai Shangrong, struggled, "You can't tie me up, I'm a good citizen."

Jia Lian walked up to him, "You are a good man, the slave of this yard stole the imperial gift from my family, and you are in a hurry to hand it over to you, a good man, to be the owner of the nest?"

Lai Shangrong and Jia Lian were about the same age, white and clean, without any trace of lowliness, "How could my family steal what was bestowed by the emperor? Lian Er, don't spit on others."

"You don't cry when you see the coffin." Lin Zhixiao interjected, and dragged Lai Shangrong to Lai Da's study.

Over there, when Lai Da heard Jia Lian talking about the gift from the emperor, he couldn't help but collapse his spine.

Dozens of people tied up all the men and women in the yard and gagged them. They checked the number of people and picked them up room by room.Lai Da's master room was well tidied up by the gentlemen of Jia's mansion, the mahogany furniture, official hat chairs, and antique racks actually showed Jia Lian exactly the same decorations as in the flower hall the night before.Gold and silver jewellery, jewellery, hairpins and rings were picked up. When I opened the storeroom, I saw boxes of silver ingots, silk and satin materials, and in Lai Da's study and storeroom, I found more than one imperial gift. Taste.

Lin Zhixiao handed Jia Lian the sandalwood box he found from the mezzanine of the study, and Jia Lian took it and opened it, and saw inside was the title deed of this house, several small houses in the capital, and the location is not bad.In addition, there are several Zhuangzi around the capital, two shops in the bustling area of ​​the capital, and several shops in Jinling, and there are hundreds of taels of silver bills in a thick stack, at least tens of thousands. two.

Jia Lian said bitterly, "Housekeeper Lai, you really manage the house well."

Jia Lian took out a few silver bills and handed them to Lin Zhixiao, then put a few more in his bosom and stuffed the box into his sleeve.Say to everyone: "Everyone has a share." Everyone smiled happily, "Thank you, Second Master."

Lian Er ordered Lai Wang to take his post and go to the government to invite the servants. The rest of the people looked at people, and those who carried things carried things in an orderly manner.

After dawn, more than a dozen people from the yamen hurriedly came, and the foreman came forward to pay a visit to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, what's the matter?"

Jia Lian bowed his hand to return the gift, and said politely, "Thanks for your hard work." He took out a few banknotes from his bosom, and stuffed a pouch into the leader.Then he said: "It was also my family who checked the warehouse yesterday, only to find out that the imperial gift was stolen by the steward under the guise of the steward. It's a crime worthy of death, and a debt of grace."

The leader took the cash purse in his hand, glanced at it, and looked more respectful, "How dare you say it's hard work to be the second master. Since this dog slave is a housekeeper, he can steal anything, and the saint will definitely not blame him for it."

Ordered the Lai family's family to be escorted away, and the Lai family's servants looked sad, but they couldn't speak because they were blocked.

Ren Yazi was waiting early, and saw that the government had taken away the man and the rest of the servants.

Lin Zhixiao ordered a few people to look at the house, and then he led people to carry the cage back to Jia's mansion and carried it straight into Rongxi Hall.Mrs. Wang heard that Lian'er had copied Lai's family, so she hurried over and said to Lian'er, "Lian'er, what's the matter? Do you think that the division of the family is too small? It was agreed by the old lady and the elder. Nanny Lai is the dowry girl of the old lady. She has been married to the housekeeper of our house for decades, but she has such an idea. It is worthwhile for you to steal the servant's house? Are you scrupulous about the old lady? The old lady is sick, don't It's better to be heavy."

At this moment, Na Lian Er saw that Mrs. Wang no longer had any feelings of admiration, and wished she could tear her apart to avenge her mother and elder brother. "Second wife, it's not that Lian Er has any opinion on the division of the family. It's just that I saw the decorations assigned to the eldest room yesterday, and I saw the same ones in everyone Lai's."

Mrs. Wang said: "I don't know how many of the same things are the same in the world. If the master rewards them, the slaves should display them at home. Lian'er, your raiding the house like this will make the slaves feel cold."

Lian Er ordered the people who carried the imperial gift to come forward and pointed to the imperial gift, "Second wife, you have been in charge of the house for many years, and this imperial gift was also given to the slaves? Did you reward it or the old man?" Your wife rewarded you?"

Mrs. Wang kept her mouth shut.

Jia Zheng said, "Lian'er, the housekeeper can't stop stealing. It's a serious crime to lose what is bestowed by the imperial court. What about the big ones?"

Jia Lian said: "Back to the second uncle, Lai's family has been sent to the Yamen. It's good that the second uncle is so sensible."

He also took out the Jinling shop deed and handed it to Jia Zheng, "Second uncle, these shops, my nephew went to Jinling to inspect in the early years, and they belonged to my Rongguo Mansion, but today they belong to the Lai family. Jinling is managed by the second wife. That’s right, I don’t know when our family will sell the ancestral property to slaves? Since all the property in Jinling has been distributed to the second bedroom, it’s better for this shop to return to the original owner.”

Jia Zheng received the deed, his face was colorful, hot and felt hot.Lian Er cupped his hands and saluted, "Second uncle, my nephew should go to see the old lady and report this matter."

Mrs. Wang stopped her, "The old lady is already sick with anger over the separation of the family, Lian'er should not add fuel to the fire."

Lian'er couldn't help it, "The old lady felt guilty and annoyed because she gave the big house out of the house and only gave it to [-]%?"

Jia Zheng was not a person with easy tongue, Mrs. Wang couldn't speak while holding the Buddhist beads, so the husband and wife watched Jia Lian Shi Shiran go to Rongqing Hall.

Before Jia Lian arrived at Rongqingtang, someone had already copied Jia Lian to Lai everyone, searched for some imperial gifts, and told Jia Mu about the Jinling shop.As for the dozen or so boxes that Jia Lian brought to Rongxi Hall, they were not so eye-catching. They were just ordinary silk and satin. The Lai family had managed the Duke's Mansion for several generations, so how could there be such a small amount.

After hearing this, Jia's mother copied the Lai's house, but the leader was dizzy. She shook her hand and asked the messenger, "Where is Lian Er? Call him."

Before the woman who reported the letter had time to go out, the little girl who guarded the gate in the yard came in to report, "Old lady, Second Master Lian is here."

Yuanyang hurriedly ordered, "Call me in. The old lady is really looking for him."

Jia Lian entered the door and bowed to salute, "Greetings to the old lady."

Mother Jia's voice was trembling, "Who gave you the guts to copy Lai's house?"

Yuanyang hurried over to give the old lady a pat on her chest and her back.

Jia Lian got up by herself, and replied respectfully according to what she had rehearsed with Sister Feng last night, "Old lady, my grandson saw that there were many counterfeit utensils distributed to Dafang yesterday, and some of them were seen at Lai's house. It’s so fun to go to Lai’s house, and I want to compare and compare. If I don’t want to, I will see the imperial bestowal. If I lose the imperial bestowal, the imperial historian will be impeached, and I will hurt my mother’s face."

Jia Mu was furious, and then said: "It was lost before the separation of the family, and the person in charge of the family will bear the crime."

The second master Lian was annoyed, "The old lady is right. My father was the one who was in charge of the family before the separation, so I, the son, will take care of my worries and settle all the matters before the separation."

Jiamu dropped the teacup, "You rebellious thing, are you trying to force me to death?"

Jia Lian poked his neck and was furious, "Old lady, that slave stole the imperial gift from the master's family. My eldest son and grandson arrested the slave, even if I go to the Yamen, I will not be judged for disobedience."

The grandfather and grandson froze for a moment.
