Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

In the afternoon, just after the time for taking a nap, Aunt Pei followed Jia Rong's instructions and sent all the account books in the house to Youshi's yard.

After Aunt Pei left, Youshi looked at the stack of ledgers and a bunch of keys on the table, feeling more sad than happy, and turned to Yindie and said, "Yindie, what do you mean by looking at it?"

Logically speaking, Youshi didn't need to speak, and didn't beat, Auntie Pei took the initiative to send over the account book, why should Youshi be happy?It's just that she has only been married for a few days.But Yindie beside her was capable, and she found out a lot of things.One of them is that although Aunt Pei seems to be in charge of the middle school in this mansion, to put it bluntly, it is in the hands of the uncle.

Is it really okay to send it to her now?

Yindie smiled and said: "Ma'am, you are a little confused. You are a serious wife who is married by the master in eight palanquins. It is most reasonable for the middle class in this mansion to be in charge of you."

"But where is uncle?" You Shi still couldn't relax his brows.

Yindie said: "Ma'am, you should relax. The servant girl just learned that this Auntie Pei just went to the Qinghui Garden of the uncle in the morning. In the afternoon, she sent the account book over. , She got the order from the uncle." Everyone in the family knew that this Aunt Pei was the maidservant of the first wife, so naturally she also turned to the uncle.Otherwise, there was no mistress in this mansion back then, so the power of giving was forced to be handed over to my aunt to manage it. In terms of status, why should it be Aunt Li, a concubine from a good family, who took over.If there is no uncle in the middle to back it up, where can it be handed over to her aunt who was born as a maid.

When Youshi heard Yindie's words, he was a little worried at first, so he let it go and smiled: "Since that's the case, I can feel at ease here."

Seeing Youshi like this, Yindie sighed in her heart, her wife was really too careful.But thinking about it again, this Ningguo Mansion is a wealthy family, but the wife is only the daughter of a ninth-rank governor. Although she is an official lady, she is actually slightly taller than the ordinary people. That's all.But the ancestor of the Ningguo Mansion was a hero who founded the country, and he was really a noble family.My wife has just married again, so it is reasonable to be more cautious than others.

You Shi took over the job of the housekeeper, and on the same day, he and Yindie went through the account books.

It was discovered that although the Ningguo Mansion did not have a serious butler master in the past year, it did not appear to be flustered.Among them, Jia Zhen's expenses are recorded in a separate ledger.Moreover, the way of recording the ledger is also different, everything is clear and clear at a glance, and it seems to be more regular than when Feng Shi was there.

At night, Youshi told Jia Zhen about Aunt Pei's delivery of the account book, but it was obvious that Jia Zhen was not interested in this at all.He just said that since she is a decent wife, it is natural that she should be entrusted with the job of the housekeeper.

Although Jia Zhen was not interested in who would be the housekeeper, she was moved when she heard You Shi mentioning Aunt Pei.Thinking about the few days of the wedding, he was always here with Youshi.It has been several days since I entered the concubine's aunt's yard.Now hearing You Shi mentioning it, thinking of Aunt Pei's charming appearance and open temperament, my heart is turbulent, and I decided to go to Aunt Pei's place tomorrow.

I haven't seen Aunt Pei for a few days, and I really miss her.

At this time, Youshi got Jia Zhen's words, and she really let go of her heart, but if she knew, when she told Jia Zhen about this, Jia Zhen's mind was full of Aunt Pei, even if she knew clearly Jia Zhen's greedy and lustful temperament also knows that Jia Zhen is not a good person, but she also vomits in her heart.

Youshi lost her mother since she was a child, and before her father remarried, she was in charge of all matters in the family.Although it can't be compared with the housekeeper Quan in a mansion like Ningguo Mansion, he has finally come into contact with housekeeping affairs.Knowing that if you want to completely control the mansion, you must first arrange your own people everywhere.

But this matter, but something that can be done in a day or two, requires a long process.

Youshi's family background is not obvious, except for Yindie who grew up with her as a dowry, the rest of the people she married were bought on a temporary basis, which is unbelievable.Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about this matter.

She didn't come here for the first time, so she couldn't do too much.Therefore, on the second day after taking over the housekeeping power, although Youshi summoned the stewards and stewards' wives everywhere, he did not do any unnecessary things.I just told the stewards and the stewardesses everywhere that from today onwards, she will be the housewife.In the future, if you want to report something, you don't need to go to Caiyueju, where Aunt Pei is, but come to Yusheng Courtyard.

As for the others, I just gave a few instructions and confessed to follow the usual rules.

Originally, knowing that the housekeeping power had been handed over to the new wife, the stewards and stewardesses everywhere were still a little uneasy.I'm afraid that the new wife and the new official will take over the three fires and intervene too much in their affairs.

Hearing You Shi's order, he was slightly relieved.

That's right, this new wife just married in, and her family background is also small. Although she took over the housekeeping, it's not easy for her to intervene too much.

I don't know if it's because of You Shi's inaction, and Jia Rong also completely ignored it, and only focused on studying and practicing martial arts with the new gentleman.

This made the servant who had finally become more honest, his heart began to stir again.

After careful observation for half a month, it is still the same.

The slaves headed by Lai Er began to slowly revert to their old ways.

Laziness, adultery, gambling and drinking in the garden, etc. used to be bad habits, but they all started to operate quietly.And looking at it coldly, it seemed that he was even more arrogant than before.

Listening to Zhiwen's report, Jia Rong had very good eyebrows, a trace of hostility flashed across her eyes, and said with a sneer, "Let them enjoy themselves for a few more days. It can be regarded as the last enjoyment before execution."

Zhiwen shuddered unconsciously when he heard Jia Rong's hostile words.I know, the uncle is about to deal a cruel blow again, and this time the disturbance is definitely much bigger than the previous one.

What Zhiwen thought was not wrong at all.

In this day, when the genius is dim.Led by Lai Er, more than a dozen servants and their families, including the one-year-old child, were all dragged out of the warm bed by the guards in the mansion, and tied up before they could even speak. And gagged, locked in a year-round uninhabited courtyard in the northeast corner.

This made the courtyard, which was not that big, instantly become full.

And Jia Rong's desk is full of ledgers collected from the homes of these servants.The courtyard is full of copied gold and silver treasures and other things.It was so full that it almost filled the entire training ground.

Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry, the most eye-catching thing is a box of silver found from Lai Er's house. It is so bright that there are as many as 2000 taels. The guards who ransacked the house in the past couldn't help swallowing. .

Damn it, a slave's family actually has so much money.

In addition to this house, there are many jewelry and other things.Take a rough look and make a rough estimate.

Not counting the seized cash and bank notes, these things are worth twenty to thirty thousand and cannot be carried.If you add those cash and banknotes.I'm afraid that even one hundred thousand can't beat it.

That's it, not counting the Zhuangzi and shops they set up in private under other people's names.If these are added, I am afraid that there will be 20.

You know, Jia Rong once summed up the property of Ningguo Mansion.Not counting the private house money in Jia Zhen's hand and the dowry left by Tian's and Feng's.The value of Ningguo Mansion High School alone is only 40 to 20.The cash that can be taken out is less than [-].Others are either Zhuangzi or shop, or some dead things.

But now the property of these servants, added up, is almost half of Ningguo Mansion.

It is conceivable that seeing these things, Jia Rong's face was very gloomy, and his eyes were almost on fire.

It seems that their hearts are much bigger than what she imagined. If she knew this, a year ago, she shouldn't have any scruples, and she should have dealt with it together at that time.

It wasn't until the sun was in the middle of the sky that the property copied from the slaves' homes was considered to be cleaned up.

Just like what Jia Rong thought, the sum of all items was as much as 20 taels.Among them, Lai Er's family dominates, and his family alone has nearly [-].

Jia Rong's movements were not small, and they were done near dawn, and all the servants of Jia's family lived in the alleys behind.The servants of the Jia family were all secretive, but within a short time, they all knew about it.

After inquiring carefully, I knew that Jia Rong was going to take care of the servants again.

Thinking of Jia Rong's actions when he was last year, his body trembled, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

While Jia Rong was busy getting people to count their belongings, Lai Er's mother, Nanny Lai, got the news that her second son's family had been tied up.

Almost without saying a word, he took a little girl and went to Jiamu's yard with tears in her eyes.

At this time, Jia's mother was accompanied by her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. She had breakfast and was having tea and talking.

Then I heard the servant girl come to report, saying that it was Mammy Lai who came.

In Jia's mother's heart, being coaxed by Jia Baoyu's childish words, she was very happy when she heard Lai Nanny came.Immediately, he waved his hand and asked people to come in.

"I heard that you were ill a few days ago, but you are better now?" Mother Jia asked with a smile when she saw Nanny Lai.Looking at Nanny Lai, she found that her complexion was not very good, and there was no color on her lips. She thought it was because she had not recovered from her illness, and said: "Your complexion is not very good, but you have not recovered yet. So, there is no need to come to my place to say hello."

When Nanny Lai heard Jia Mu's words, she thought of the second son's family whose life and death were unknown, and also thought of Jia Rong's thunderous way of dealing with the slaves last time, tears fell down all at once.

She acted like this to scare Jia's mother, and when she realized it, she knew that Lai Mama was afraid of something and asked to come to her, so she ordered Jia Yuanchun to take Jia Baoyu and Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun down.

Jia Yuanchun is a smart man, seeing this, he knew that he had something to say, so he blessed himself, and took his younger brothers and sisters back to the ear room.Originally, Jia Baoyu didn't want to leave, but Jia Yuanchun had a good way of dealing with this younger brother. He only said a few words in a low voice, and made him leave her willingly.

Before they left, Nanny Lai arrested Lai Er's family with snot and tears, and even turned the house upside down. Yu Jia Mu told her and begged Jia Mu to save Lai Er's family. life.

When Jia's mother heard this, she was also a little angry, and she just felt that Jia Rong had disgraced her.Without even thinking about it, he ordered and said: "Last time, he made such a fuss and killed many slaves, making it a joke to outsiders. Many slaves were heartbroken. I only thought he was young and had just passed away. Mother, it is understandable for me to become angry when I met a slightly neglected slave. How long has it been since he started messing around again? It's outrageous. The second child, you make a fool of yourself Girl, let her inform the second son, let the second son go to the Ningguo Mansion in person, I want to see, what is going on with this brother Rong?"

The reason why Mother Jia nodded her head in agreement was not only because of Mammy Lai.More reasons, or because of her own.Which one of the two mansions doesn't know, this Nanny Lai is her most useful dowry girl, and later married a steward in the Rongguo mansion, and had two sons, Lai Da and Lai Er.It is her right-hand man, this Lai Da is the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion, and this Lai Er is also the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion under her help.With the two of them as helpers, her old Fengjun's position in the two governments is safe and secure.Now that Jia Rong has tied up Lai Er's family without even notifying her, it means that she doesn't take her ancestor seriously.

When Nanny Lai heard Jiamu's words, she immediately let go of her worried heart, and thanked Mrs. Wang for her blessing.

In front of Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang naturally did not dare to accept Nanny Lai's gift, she only said it was due.
