Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 257 Poking the Fire

In the past two months, Jia Amnesty can be said to be high-spirited, not inferior to when the old Duke and his wife were there. After learning about Jia's mother's external strength and internal weakness, Jia Amnesty became more courageous.

Jia's mother is just a little bit better. I don't know where he found the clansman of his original partner, the Zhang family. God knows where he found it. Although the Zhang family was prominent back then, it was a single lineage, and the roots were cut off many years earlier. It's gone, leaving only a girl from the Zhang family, who married into Jia's family with a fortune.

Jia Amnesty used this member of the Zhang family to ask for Zhang's dowry with the dowry list from that year. When Zhang died early, her dowry was in charge of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. After Chen married in, she got it. She has the right to be the housekeeper in the family, but she can't touch the dowry wealth of her predecessor at all.

After so many years, Zhang's dowry was either passed on to the public, or was seized by the greedy members of the Jia family. Except for the large items that were not easy to move, they were still stored in the warehouse. No matter how much is left, Jia She really knows how to find a job right now!

If he should not be dismissed, Jia Amnesty would be ashamed and ask this member of the Zhang family to sue the Jia family for annexing the name of Zhang's family property. Agreed, without saying a word, he dragged the members of the Zhang family to run outside, and was about to go to the Yamen to hand over the paper!

Come on, Mrs. Jia stopped him quickly, let’s calm down! Zhang’s dowry is said to belong to the big family, and Mrs. Jia can only compromise again, and let Wang’s take out Zhang’s dowry and hand it over to Jia Amnesty .

How could Mrs. Wang spit out the food she ate, excused that she hadn't been a housekeeper for many years, and didn't know where the dowry of her former sister-in-law was?

Only Wang Xifeng looked at the dowry list and found them from storehouse to storehouse. The old things were many years old, and the dust was flying all over the sky. Jia She was so happy that they all moved back to his Xiaodong courtyard. Twice, I squeezed out some from Jiamu, that's all.

With these and what Lai ransacked out of his home, it was enough for him to squander for a while, and then he calmed down, and Jia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he is willing to be quiet, but someone wants to force him to make a fuss.

On this day, Jia She was sitting on the couch wiping his Tang dynasty purple smoke pot with his arms around him, and next to him were a red sandalwood fan from Xikou Shuoliu, and a narrow mouth bottle from a hundred birds facing the phoenix. The old lady is also careful.

Standing on one side were two young girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, beautiful in appearance, and what was even rarer were a pair of twin sisters, one holding a fruit plate and the other holding a teacup.

It was at this time that Mrs. Chen came in.

"Tsk tsk, how is the old man's life going well? Accompanied by beauties, red sleeves add fragrance, and there are countless treasures and antiques. These days are really not changed by gods!"

Seeing that it was Mrs. Chen coming, Jia Amnesty felt disappointed, curled his lips, put down the purple smoke bottle in his hand,

"Why did you come here?"

Speaking of which, none of the couples in the Jia family had a good relationship, even if they had a good beginning, they were not good in the end. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were a model couple, and they couldn't be more disciplined. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng started off as good as a Human-like, now also very alienated.

The same is true for Jia She and the Chen family. Although the Chen family was not very beautiful when they first married, they were young and fresh, and they wanted to please Jia She and have a child of their own. A sense of love between husband and wife.

But no matter how cautious and courteous he is, he can't stand Jia Amnesty's tossing around, wanting a woman for a while, offending Jia's mother and scolding him for a while, and then losing his temper in his own yard. No matter how small the Chen family is, they are still officials. Born as a prostitute, she has no arrogance, but she still has two arrogance. Where can she bear him, she gradually becomes impatient to please him.

As for Jia She, if you have money and leisure, if you don’t come to please me, some beautiful girls please you, and the two gradually drift apart until Jia She spends all the private houses left by the old Duke and his wife. , started to play the idea of ​​mandarin ducks, but Chen disagreed, and the two quarreled, which was completely embarrassing.

Under such circumstances, can Jia Amnesty give Chen a good look?

Mrs. Chen had expected his reaction and didn't care about it. Anyway, she recorded Jia Cong in her name when the two were still in a relationship. As long as Jia Cong was promising, she would pardon him. Go to hell!

But she doesn't care what Jia Amnesty does, but it can't involve the overall safety of their long house.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand and let the beautiful pair of sisters spend it. Seeing this, Jia She was quite dissatisfied and said,

"What are you driving them to do? Old lady, you object. I bought this myself. What does it have to do with you?"

The two little girls couldn't help hesitating. The master and wife disagree, who should they listen to?

Seeing that the two of them were still not going down, Mrs. Chen gave them a sideways glance. The sisters were heartbroken, and before they realized anything, they walked outside.

Mrs. Chen didn't ask for greetings either, she casually pushed away the treasures on Jia She's couch, picked up a folding fan in her hand and looked at them, saying,

"You bought it? Those two little girls can't get these things without 5000 taels of silver, right?"

Jia Amnesty snatched the folding fan she was playing with, checked it over and over again before he felt relieved, and said,

"5000 taels, 5000 taels can't even take down this fan, it's useless!"

Mrs. Chen smiled, and said, "My lord has made a lot of money recently!"

Talking about this, Jia Amnesty is quite proud, not everyone can bring down the Lai family and snatch tens of thousands of taels of silver from Jiamu's mouth, said,

"That's right, don't even look, master, who am I!"

Mrs. Chen continued, "That's right, my master is very capable, but it's a pity that our eldest family will soon be in prison just like the previous Lai family. Your precious girls, pretty girls, have to It’s cheaper than the second master and the others.”

Jia Amnesty suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean, our family is doing well, how could we be imprisoned like the Lai family and the others!"

When she said disbelief, Jia She was somewhat suspicious, so her tone was more impatient and angry. Although Mrs. Chen is not good, her background and upbringing doomed her to make up things like Mrs. Shijing.

"That's not necessarily true. Back then, the Lai family was so beautiful in the mansion. When Baoyu saw Lai Da on his horse, he had to get off the horse and call him Grandpa Lai. Our Cong'er was still hanging his head and awl for an imperial examination. , the grandson of their family can become a county magistrate with real power, but once he goes to the Yamen and violates the national law, he will be exiled if he is said to be exiled, and he will be sold if he is said to be sold, without any hesitation."

Jia She frowned and said, "Talk about our family well. What do you think the Lai family is doing? There are Lian'er outside our house and the empress in the palace. What kind of disaster can there be?"

Mrs. Chen seemed happy to see him anxious, and continued, "I didn't say that something happened to our family, I said it was our eldest son, besides, didn't the master just say that he didn't believe it?"

Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth and said, "You can't escape if something happened to Dafang, so what's there to gloat about?"

Seeing that he was getting angry, Mrs. Chen knew enough was enough, so she stopped teasing him and gave him the account book in her arms!
