Jia Min's Counterattack

On this day, Jia Daishan listened to Liu Dazhuang, an old servant beside him, who was Dongmei's father, and said, "Dongmei found that Qiu Ju's hands and feet in the girl's room were not clean, and she dared to steal things from the house. The girl saw it as a master and a servant." For the sake of it, I just tapped it, and didn't do anything to her.Liu Dazhuang felt that if a servant girl dared to steal from her master, she would be damned, not to mention the advanced things. If someone finds out, the Duke should not be implicated. You must know that stealing and trading imperial gifts is a serious crime.

Jia Daishan rewarded Liu Dazhuang ten taels of silver, and let him go down and told him not to speak out.

After Liu Dazhuang left, Jia Daishan asked the housekeeper Lai Da to check Qiuju's family.Half a day later, Lai Da came back, and the news he brought back surprised Jia Daishan.

"You mean that she has a village of [-] mu in her family, living in a courtyard with three entrances, and there are many servants in the house?"

Lai Da bowed and said: "It's absolutely true. The slave saw it with her own eyes. Her father was known as Cheng Dazui outside, and she talked nonsense after drinking, and told all about our house and even the girl's house. Her mother wears gold and silver all day long to show off outside, and it has also ruined the reputation of our mansion."

Jia Daishan was furious when he heard this, "You bastard, you've eaten the heart of a bear, and you've bullied me! See if I don't beat them to death!"

Lai Da looked at the fine Duan inkstone that was broken by the Duke of the state, and curled his lips in distress.

"Is this family a family?"

"Back to the master, this family is my wife's accompanying room. This autumn chrysanthemum was given to the girl by my wife five years ago, and there are two maidservants with me, one Chunlan and one Xia He. These two are family-born children. Their mothers are also working in the mansion, and they are the ones that the wives are used to."

Jia Daishan squinted his eyes and meditated for a long time, and was about to have a seizure, when the boy outside announced, "Dongmei next to the third girl is here." Jia Daishan called Dongmei to come in, and Dongmei came in with a food box. After performing the salute, he said: "Master, Miss asked the servant to bring you bird's nest porridge."

Jia Daishan looked at Dongmei, and was about to ask about the situation in Lianyi Garden, when he suddenly felt something was wrong. "How are you girls, why didn't you send it yourself today?"

Dongmei lowered her head, hesitated for a while before saying, "Young lady is reading in the room."

Jia Daishan knew something was wrong, so he stood up and walked out. "I haven't seen Min'er writing for a few days, so I have nothing to do today to take a look."

Lai Da followed Jia Daishan out, and at the end even grabbed Dongmei who was in a daze, "Don't follow!"

Dongmei came back to her senses and hurriedly followed, muttering, "The girl is really accurate!"

A group of people came to Lianyi Garden, but the gatekeeper at the door disappeared somewhere, and there was no one in the yard.Jia Daishan frowned, thinking: These servants are really useless!

Jia Daishan didn't stop, and walked straight to the front hall. As soon as he reached the door, he saw that the maids and women were standing inside, and there were two people kneeling at the front.Jia Daishan stopped at the door and did not go in, signaling Lai Da and Dongmei to keep quiet

"Girl, I know I'm wrong, I beg you to let go of the love I've been serving you for so many years, I don't dare to do it anymore!" Qiu Ju kowtowed as she said, begging for mercy but with a little recklessness.

Jia Daishan frowned even tighter, where did these people get their confidence?

"If it's just one or two insignificant things, and you like to take them away, I won't say anything. I'm not that stingy person. I don't want to reward you less on weekdays? But you just took so much. Good things, half of them are gifted by the emperor or promoted. This is a serious crime. If people outside know it, a memorial from the imperial censor can kill everyone! I know you are always cautious, what should you do? Did you come up with such a stupid thing?" Jia Min looked like he hated iron and steel, with a little bit of unbearable expression on his face.

Qiu Ju and Xia He were so frightened that they lost their souls, Xia He was timid, trembling all over his body, "What should I do, what should I do...Girl, you should find a way to save this slave, who has been overwhelmed by lard for a while. I just did something sorry for the girl. The slaves brought back all the jewelry that they took privately over the years, but more than half of them were melted..."

"Okay! You are more courageous. Many of the jewelry are rewards from the palace, and they are gifts from the emperor. You dare to touch the things that are bestowed by the emperor. Even if you have a hundred heads, it is not enough to chop off!" Jia Min was angry. The voice said, and people also stood up out of anger.At this time, she saw Jia Daishan and others standing outside the door.

Jia Min quickly suppressed her anger, walked up to Jia Daishan, and saluted Jia Daishan, "Greetings to father! Why is father here at this time? Is the bird's nest porridge my daughter made for you available?"

Jia Daishan looked at his little daughter lovingly, reached out and touched Jia Min's head, sighed, and walked into the main hall with his hands behind his back.Seeing the posture of the Duke, the servants knew that they would suffer today.Qiu Ju and Xia He, who were kneeling on the ground, were already so frightened that they did not dare to breathe out, and they prostrated themselves on the ground and shivered.Chunlan in the crowd glanced at Jia Daishan in fear, moved her eyes quietly to the back, bowed her head, and dared not make a sound.

Jia Daishan sat down on the upper hand, and glanced at the maidservant below with sharp eyes, "Da Lai, go and invite the wife!"

Lai Da took the order and went away, and after a cup of tea, Jia Mu rushed over, and was taken aback when she saw such a scene, and Jia Min hurried forward to help Jia Mu to sit next to Jia Daishan.

"Master, what's the matter? But the maids didn't serve her well, so the master told me that I'll punish them!" Mother Jia had a gentle smile on her face, but she looked dissatisfied when she glanced away at Jia Min.

"You are the mistress of the house. I never ask about things in the backyard. If I hadn't come to see Min'er practicing calligraphy today on a whim, I wouldn't know that such a big thing happened here. Four maids, two They are all self-stealing, and they have the audacity to touch the imperial gift."

"What? What was lost? Who did it?" Mother Jia was also furious when she heard that, she dared to touch her things under her nose, did she not want to live?

Jia Min glanced at her mother, and said straight to the two people on the ground: "It's Qiu Ju and Xia He, one of them is in charge of the small storeroom and the other is in charge of my dowry." After speaking, she handed some account books to Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu saw that it was her own, she became even more annoyed.A group of useless scumbags who dared to hide their actions made her lose face in front of the master. "It's really audacious! How do you manage on weekdays to make these slaves so rampant!"

When Jia Daishan heard Jia's mother complaining about Jia Min, he slapped the table heavily with one hand: "You, a mother, didn't choose a good servant for your daughter, and you usually rely on your people to dominate this Lianyi Garden." Now, it is obvious that your daughter has been wronged, but you come to blame her, what is the reason?"

Seeing that Jia Daishan was angry, Jia's mother didn't dare to say anything, although she was unwilling to say anything, but she blamed Jia Min even more in her heart.If she insisted on making trouble in front of the master, it would be better if she returned to herself, causing her to be blamed by the master in front of so many servants.

Jia Daishan ignored Jiamu, glanced at the two people on the ground and said, "Come here, beat these two dead slaves to me fifty times, then drag them out and throw them away. All the family members of the two of them are also angry." Sell ​​it!"

The two people on the ground who were pretending to be dead suddenly got up at this moment, kowtowed to Jia Daishan and begged for mercy, Lai Da took a group of women who were powerful and powerful to pull them, at this time Qiu Ju broke free from the hands of the women and ran to the Mother Jia knelt down and shouted: "My wife is just me, save the slaves!" She was about to kowtow.

At this time, the wives came forward to pull her again, and she was about to drag her out of the room, Qiu Ju gritted her teeth and shouted: "Madam, slave... I already have the second master's child in my belly!"

With this shout, the women who were holding Qiu Ju stopped. Jia Daishan, his wife and Jia Min were shocked.It was Jia Mu who reacted in time, and angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense! You shameless bastard, you dare to pour dirty water on Zheng'er when you die, why don't you stop her stinky mouth quickly, and drag it quickly!" Go down and torture!"

After receiving the order, the women didn't hesitate anymore, they took a torn rag and slapped Qiu Ju's mouth, and quickly dragged her out.The rest of the maids and women were terrified, and no one stood up to intercede with Qiu Ju and Xia He.

Jia Min glanced at Chunlan who was hidden behind others, and smiled meaningfully.
