Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 259 Questioning the Butler's Abilities

Wang Xifeng didn't care about getting angry with him at this time, and she was also very nervous.

Last time I didn't follow the old lady's order to get the mandarin ducks there. I thought that with the old lady's ability, I wouldn't be able to escape from the old lady in a few lifetimes. Just grab the handle.

Who would have thought that this filial old man who had been cowarded for most of his life, now with the shamelessness of a hob, forcibly gnawed off a piece of meat from the old lady and from the Lai family.

Now, I don't know that the old man suddenly called them over, and I don't know if it is to settle accounts for the autumn queen.

With the same uneasiness, they came to Jia She's courtyard in the East Courtyard. Seeing Jia She and the Chen family sitting upright, Jia Lian thought it was okay. After all, he didn't often come to pay his respects.

They were still here last time, and the two were still in the same position. Later, they had a quarrel and broke their faces. This happened in front of her, and now they are reconciled as before?

"Son, pay respects to the master and wife!"

"My daughter-in-law greets the master and wife!"

The superior did not speak, and the two of them maintained this saluting posture without moving.

Because it was a common practice, the two of them did not salute. Jia Lian was better, but bent over, Wang Xifeng did bend his knees, but everyone knows that half-bending is actually more strenuous than kneeling, and after a while her feet I shivered.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's pale face and trembling body, Jia She let out a sigh of relief, let the two get up, and said to Jia Lian,

"Lian'er, self-cultivation, ruling the country and the world, the more you have this official outside, the better, but do you know that your backyard is about to catch fire!"

Jia Lian didn't believe what Jia She, an old dandy, said, and he didn't know which provocation Jia She heard. He said that his back house was on fire, and if he really found the fire, it was his old man who tossed it out. of!

Seeing that he didn't care, Jia Amnesty threw the account book that the Chen family still gave him, and threw it in his face. Seeing Jia Lian frantically picking up the account book, he said,

"Look at it for yourself. Fortunately, you are still working as a errand in the household department. You can't even calculate the accounts of your own family. It is still the account of the court. Just look at it yourself!"

Jia Lian took the account book and took a closer look. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became. After reading less than half of it, he slapped Wang Xifeng and cursed,

"You black-hearted bitch, who called you this vicious way of stealing people's money! Ah!"

Wang Xifeng was stunned by Jia Lian's slap, she didn't know what happened, not to mention Jia Lian, even her parents didn't even touch her finger!

As Jia Lian said, he threw the account book over, and Wang Xifeng took a look. This is not an account book, but a statistic of her lending interest one by one. Some families couldn't pay back the money, and the consequences of selling their sons and daughters came.

Wang Xifeng felt a chill in her heart, which was much clearer than she remembered. When she thought of a figure hiding behind the scenes, watching her every move, Wang Xifeng felt shuddering. behind the scenes.

After so many years, I thought that the person behind the scenes would stop, but who knew that she was waiting for her here? At this time, Wang Xifeng couldn't care less about explaining. She only wanted to dig out the person behind the scenes, and asked hurriedly ,

"Who made this ledger!"

Jia Lian didn't have time to care about this, so he scolded, "I don't care who made this ledger, I just ask you whether this is true or not!"

Wang Xifeng completely ignored Jia Lian's questioning, and looked straight at Jia Amnesty. Her face was pale and haggard under the heavy make-up, and she couldn't hide it anymore, revealing a hint of madness.

Jia Amnesty was stunned by her stare, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Shi who was on the side. Chen's face changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly, useless things, said.

"It was brought over by Mrs. Jing from next door."

It's not bad, although Mrs. Chen was watching the matter, but as a woman in the house, how could she investigate the outside affairs, she also asked Jia Jing, and Jia Jing helped to investigate.

"Respect the old lady, Jia Jing?" Wang Xifeng wanted to bite the roots of his teeth.

This Jia Jing is separated from her by a mansion, a generation, and the difference between men and women. Except for the idea of ​​relatives, she has no communication at all, but she is so cruel that she will ruin her life!

Jia Amnesty was also fooled, he never expected that big brother Jing would be involved in his family affairs, but considering Jia Jing's partiality to him before, and thinking that he had planned everything, maybe this was also one of big brother Jing's plans?

Only Jia Lian heard that Jia Jing was involved, and suddenly his mind cleared up a lot. He has never been able to understand this uncle, but his two career advancements are inseparable from him.

At first, if it wasn't for Jia Jing's suggestion, after he sent Daiyu to Huaiyang, he might be obsessed with Jiangnan's debauchery, how could he get Mr. Lin's attention, and thus get to know Jinshang who was only a prince back then , and then the official position with real power in the first step.

In addition, there is the new accounting method. Instead of giving his son and grandchildren, he gave him this nephew from the next room, which pushed him from the official department to the household department.

No matter what kind of ideas he has about participating in his own family affairs, his name alone is enough to make Jia Lian pay more attention to it. What's more, he has been in the real power yamen for a long time, so he naturally knows that if the interest is nothing It's okay when things happen, but if something happens, it's a sharp sword pointing straight at the throat!

Jia Lian completely ignored Wang Xifeng's madness and stubbornness, and didn't know what she was afraid of. He clasped her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes, and asked,

"Wang Xifeng, what on earth have you done with your position as a housekeeper! What a good family has been turned into by you!"

Suddenly Wang Xifeng became even crazier, cursing,

"Do you think I am willing to take care of this family? Do you know that there is no money left in the account, and it all depends on tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall!

Do you know that all the valuable shops have been sold, the rent on the Zhuangzi has risen to [-] cents, and the family is still living on their own, and my dowry has been invested in it!

Do you think I am willing to do this hell retribution thing?All of you only know how to spend money from the public, if I don’t use this method of extorting profits, how can you all be so nourished! "

No wonder Wang Xifeng is so crazy. She and Jia Lian have long been at odds with each other, and because of the problem of children, they have been stubborn in their hearts. Wang Xifeng is a strong person, no matter how wronged she is, she can only smash her teeth into her stomach Tun, now only this right can soothe her heart.

As long as others praise her housekeeper's ability, she will feel more relaxed. This is like poison. She was a little rational at the beginning, and only used her dowry money for profit, but as time went on, she became more and more reluctant. It would be better if you can only use the money from the public to lend interest.

However, Jia Lian questioned her just now when she was in the position of being the most capable housekeeper. His disdainful and dissatisfied eyes deeply hurt Wang Xifeng's heart, and it was only then that he shook his head.

"Nonsense!" Jia She roared angrily!
