There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber

After the execution was over, King Beijing and others left, and Jia Zheng sent them out in fear, without even looking at Mrs. Wang lying on the spring stool.

Jia Mu's body wobbled and almost fell.

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing quickly helped Jia Mu into the house, one on the left and the other on the right.

Others can ignore Mrs. Wang, but Li Wan and Jia Tanchun can't. They surrounded her with concern on their faces, "Ma'am."

Mrs. Wang just pretended to be dead.

Mrs. Xing has experienced a lot of experience in the past few years. Although her heart is happy, her face does not show at all, and she still looks worried, "I don't know how your mother is doing now?"

Speaking of Yuanchun, Jia's mother was even more sad, "They are all stupid and ignorant women, and they have hurt the empress."

Wang Xifeng sighed, and looked at Jiamu, who was hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Jia Mu said.

"Now the empress is already a noble person. In my dynasty, only concubines are the lords of the first palace. They can call themselves the palace, and others respectfully call them empress. Our family should pay more attention." Wang Xifeng said it anyway.

Jia Mu glared, "What? It's fine for others to taunt you, but now you are also starting to taunt your empress?"

"Grandfather, let me speak slowly!" Wang Xifeng knelt down softly, "According to the fact that the matter of the second wife is not a big deal other than killing people, every family has done this more or less when they are short of money. But why is there nothing wrong with other houses, but our house has trouble?"

After hearing this, Mother Jia gradually calmed down, "Get up and talk."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly pulled Wang Xifeng up, this honest child kneels as soon as he says he wants to kneel, doesn't his knee hurt?

Standing beside Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng took the teacup from Yuanyang's hand, opened the lid and blew on it. The temperature was just right before handing it to Jia Mu's hand. It's like adding fuel to a brocade and a raging fire. It's unavoidable to attract people's attention and envy. In fact, at this time, it is very important to be cautious in words and deeds, so as to ensure the safety of thousands of years. But the men of our family, I don't say, the old lady Also clear. Besides, the servants of our family are really outrageous. Relying on the power of their masters, they act recklessly and bully men and women. Others know that it is slaves who are bullying others. If they don’t know, they think we My family acts so arrogantly on weekdays. That's why what happened to Zhou Rui happened."

Mother Jia burst into tears, "My son, it's hard for you to think of these things. In fact, I have thought about these things over the years, but I'm afraid that speaking out will ruin your interest. Procrastination will eventually lead to today's catastrophe!"

Wang Xifeng followed with tears, "The old ancestors don't have to worry, fortunately there is still time. Although the nobleman has been demoted, but the bond with the emperor is still there, as long as the children in the family are promising, such as Baoyu, such as Lan'er Zhuoer, it is difficult to guarantee that the nobleman will not have any troubles in the future." The possibility of resetting! Of course, this is something for another time. Right now, it is important to take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the family. For one thing, our family does not need so many servants to wait on it now. The nonsensical servants have all been dismissed. Second, if you don’t want to worry about your ancestors, our family is now bearing the title of first-class general, but there is still a plaque of the Duke’s Mansion outside, that’s all, anyway. The ancestors are still there, so it is not considered a violation. But there are many violations in the construction of the home, food and clothing, etc. It is just a good time to take this opportunity to rectify it, so that the Holy One can also see our family's determination to reform, and wait for the future .”

Jia's mother was still hesitating, but Jia Zheng just came in, and when she heard this, she took it for granted, "What Lian's daughter-in-law said is very reasonable!" They are also daughters of the Wang family, so why is there no Lian's daughter-in-law in the Wang family? What about wisdom?Jia Zheng was very puzzled.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng, "If you want to change it, Rongxi Hall must be closed first. There is also a garden." Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang still live in the wing room to the east of Rongxi Hall!

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth, "Seal! I'll have someone clean up and move out! As for the garden, seal it up and let the girls move out!" He is white now, and he has no face to live in Rongxitang.As for the garden, it was also built for the Empress to convict her relatives. Now the Empress is just a noble person. In detail, there are more illegal buildings in the garden!Of course it will be closed!

Jia's mother saw that Jia Zheng had said so, what else could she do. "Since that's the case, leave this matter to Lian'er and his wife!"

But Wang Xifeng said: "Old ancestor, it is still necessary for the master to come forward to reform the system. The master has read a lot and knows a lot. How does the second master know where the system has been violated!"

After thinking about it, Mother Jia was right, "You are right and reasonable. If this is the case, tell the old man to come back quickly. You can discuss this matter with the old man. As for the matter of investigating the servants, leave it to Lian'er!" Remember, if something wrong is found out, even the old people who have lived in the mansion for several lifetimes will not be sympathetic. We can't let them bring down the mansion's reputation."

Jia Lian was very excited, there are a lot of benefits here!The daughter-in-law is awesome, and she got this good thing for herself without saying a word.

Coming out of Jiamu's house, Jia Lian was very happy, "My good man, thanks to you."

"I was just about to tell you that all the money confiscated this time will go to the public, and you are not allowed to keep it yourself." Wang Xifeng said seriously.

Jia Lian glared at her angrily. There was nothing wrong with it. Wasn't his effort in vain?

"Fool, why did I put so much effort into mentioning this? Isn't it just to drive the Second Master's family out of Rongxi Hall in a legitimate way? Don't you understand that from now on, the big house will be the master of the house!" Wang Xifeng gave him a blank look.

Jia Lian came to his senses, yes, the second master and his wife are both white now, the empress has become a noble person, it is not known whether she can be restored, Baoyu has that kind of virtue, Lan'er is still young, and the mansion will really be a big house in the future Home.The money belongs to the public, and it belongs to them too.

"Is the ancestor willing?" Jia Lian asked.

"Second Master, Second Mistress, the old lady asked me to deliver something." Suddenly, a mandarin duck's voice came from outside.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Sister Yuanyang, please come in quickly."

It turned out that Yuanyang sent all the account books, matching cards, keys and the deeds of the servants from Mrs. Wang according to Jiamu's words.

After sending the mandarin ducks away, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian proudly, "Did you believe this time?" The old ancestor is such a smart person, can't he see the situation in the mansion clearly?At this moment, no matter how partial she is to the second wife, she still knows that the situation is over.

Jia Lian took a deep breath, "In order to avoid leaking the news, I'll go right away!"

Wang Xifeng nodded, suddenly Cuixi, the girl next to Mrs. Xing, came with something, saying that the Elder Master sent someone to send it, and it was for the Second Master.

Jia Lian opened it and saw that it was evidence of embezzlement and money-grabbing by a group of servants headed by Lai Da.

"Great, with this, I have a clue. Let's take someone there now!" Jia Lian said happily, and immediately took people out.

Jia Lian went out with high spirits, Wang Xifeng smiled, the girls moved out from the garden, cleaned up the house, dismissed the servants, and she had a lot to do.

"Ping'er, you send Miss Sui to your wife's place to be with brother Zhuoer and sister Xi," Wang Xifeng said.

Ping'er responded, and hurriedly asked the wet nurse to carry Sister Sui to his wife, while he and Wang Xifeng hurried away.

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun still lived with Jia Mu, Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan went to Mrs. Xing's place, and happened to help take care of a few children, while Tanchun and Xichun stayed in the Baosha next to Mrs. Wang's residence, very timidly.

Except for the two big girls and the four little girls around each of them, the rest were dismissed.

Others are fine, but Jia Baoyu is not used to it. He is used to being at ease in the garden, and now living with Jia's mother, it is inevitable that his hands are tied and he cannot enjoy himself.

But he didn't dare to make trouble, he knew more or less about the family affairs, although he was not there when his wife was beaten, but Xiangyun was there, and told him everything about it afterwards.

Baoyu knew that his wife had done something wrong, which made her eldest sister suffer.The wife has been punished now, and she knows she was wrong, but in the eyes of both the old lady and the master, it seems that the wife is gone.

Baoyu felt wronged for his wife.But he was also afraid of seeing his wife. Now his wife moved to a dark and small room, and she was no longer as loving as before. Every time she saw him, she would hold his hand to make herself feel better.

After a long time, Baoyu was not willing to go.

Only Jia Tanchun treated Mrs. Wang as before, serving tea and water, serving soup and medicine, carefully and properly.Whenever Aunt Zhao saw her, she would point at Sang and scold Huai by the window.

Jia Tanchun turned a deaf ear to it.

"Ma'am, it's time to drink the medicine." Jia Tanchun said softly, then served Mrs. Wang to drink the medicine, and took a sip.

Mrs. Wang lay on the soft pillow, "What's going on in the mansion recently?"

Jia Tanchun hesitated to speak, the mansion has been turned upside down recently.Everyone Lai, as well as his wife's companion Fang Chunxi's family, and many other people were searched by Lian's second brother. The evidence is convincing. Can bow his head and plead guilty.

Among them, the Lai family was the most greedy. Converted into silver, there were two to three hundred thousand taels.It's strange that his family can donate officials to Lai Shangrong and build such a garden!

There is also Chunxi's family, who usually don't show the mountains and dew, and hide everything behind sister Zhou. It turns out that the family also has houses and fields.

"Why isn't Chunxi's family gone? And Zhao's family, and Qian's family?" Mrs. Wang asked about her companions.During these days when she was recuperating, she was ashamed to see others at first, but later she was moved here in a daze, and the maids around her were all replaced, and she couldn't see the companions, so Mrs. Wang was a little flustered.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Jia Tanchun was moved in his heart, "My wife doesn't know, because the master has moved out of Rongxi Hall because of violation of regulations, and Rongxi Hall and the garden have been sealed. Second brother Lian is now leading people to search What about the servants in the mansion, everyone Lai, Chunxi’s house, etc. have been confiscated, guess how much money was confiscated? A total of 60 or [-]. Now even the deeds of people’s lives have been handed over to the Yamen, so it’s not likely that they were sold. Just as an official slave, all the copied money goes to the public."

Mrs. Wang suddenly raised her head, waiting for Jia Tanchun, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Jia Tanchun was a little flustered, and stood a few steps away, "Let me tell you, Lian's second brother stole 60 million taels of silver and returned it to the public. All the servants who stole money behind their master's backs sold it out."

Half of that is her money!Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and passed out immediately.
