A visit to Fangchun

Mother Jia heard the voices of a pair of children going away, looked back at her two sons, but her face turned cold, and said after a long while: "I know what you think in your heart, you probably plan to use my granddaughter." The dowry just fills the hole in this garden. Let me tell you two words first: Shameless!"

The last two words, Jia Mu slapped the handle of the chair and drank out sharply.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were so frightened that he fell to his knees in a hurry: "Son dare not, mother calm down!"

Jia Mu sneered, and then she drank first: "Stand up for me!" Seeing the two people listening quietly with their hands down, Fang said: "The big girl has been promoted to a concubine, just stay quietly in the palace. The royal family is full of moths." Come to let Jiaofang visit relatives, your family is just a newly promoted concubine, and you are still rushing to join in the fun! Are you the officials with real power? Is your family's Tiandi Zhuangzi shop so promising? Or do you plan to use your mother’s, daughter-in-law’s, and daughter-in-law’s dowry to spend? If you want to make your face swollen to make you fat, then the house will be more frugal. For a large number of idle family members, let them release what should be released. The family benefits Li Suosuo, clean and tidy, can live for another ten or eight years. They refuse to! Now it’s a good idea, and the idea has come to my granddaughter, an orphan! Are you a fool? Ah?!"

Thinking of Lin Daiyu's action of reaching out to take the receipt and putting her sleeve away, Jia's mother sneered again and again, pointing to the two booklets at hand and said, "Lian'er said that these booklets are in duplicate. How does he know which copy Yu'er is holding? Is it the same as this one?!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at each other. Jia She couldn't help frowning and said: "Lin Ruhai is a pure scholar, doesn't he even know how to make a fuss about this kind of place?"

Jia Zheng stared at the thought carefully, but shook his head, and said in a low voice: "He has been on the ground in Weiyang for more than ten years, and he has been dealing with those cunning salt merchants. , should be the most intelligent and transparent person. If he only left a small treasury for his daughter, it is not impossible for the family members who Lian'er doesn't know to take care of it for Sister Lin in private."

Jia Mu then said: "Come on! Since you can think that Lin Ruhai will only leave things for Yu'er, you should also think that he must have confessed that Yu'er should be wary of our family! You, together with Jane Er Lianer, which one is not Hu Huahai used to? Even if he doesn’t want to know about these things, doesn’t Min’er know? Wouldn’t he tell Yuer in private? I said earlier that Yuer’s intelligence would never be precious. Hefeng girl, you take my words as deaf ears, don't you?!"

What else could the two of them say, they could only say yes.

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Amnesty with a bit of annoyance, looked at Jia Zheng, calmed down first, and then said seriously: "Today, I will open up and talk to you brothers about the future."

The two crossed their hands and bowed: "Yes, son, listen."

Jiamu calmed down again, her voice was a little lower, and she explained in detail: "Now the title is inherited by the boss. Although I prefer Baoyu, I don't intend to break the ancestor's etiquette and rules for him. After the boss, the title will remain the same. It belongs to the long house. With this, I can leave the long house alone."

Jia Amnesty was overjoyed when she heard that Mother Jia had said such words clearly, and bowed deeply: "Yes, what mother said is absolutely true."

Mother Jia glanced at the quiet second son, feeling even more satisfied, and then said: "Erlang, your salary is enough to support the two of you. Hasn't Brother Huan started studying? Let him go on his own in the days to come." Ben, good or bad, I have nothing to do with it. As for my Baoyu, his marriage is to be promised to my poor granddaughter. You don't care about his life, he has Daiyu's dowry, they are young couples It’s a lifetime of food and drink.”

Jia Shen's brows immediately frowned—that's millions of dollars!Why do you only raise that brat Baoyu alone?I also have a son, and my son also has a granddaughter, so why can't I also enjoy the glory? !

Jia's mother didn't even look at him, but said to Jia Zheng alone: ​​"I will serve a bowl of water in a flat way. I live in the main house here, and Erlang's family lives here because of the palace. Li Niangniang's face must be taken care of. But when walking outside, it must be the words of the boss, which are the words of the Rongguo Mansion. If there is a big event at home, the big house must nod before the final calculation. This is not only The ancestral etiquette is even more the court's regulations. This one, in our house, must not be messed up."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, and Mother Jia reluctantly looked at Jia She, who was already beaming with joy: "You go back and tell your daughter-in-law, so that she won't be too fussy about petty gains." Then she turned to Jia Zheng, "You too Go back and tell your daughter-in-law that she is the mother of the empress, but the mother of the empress must also respect the state system. She must respect her sister-in-law, and don't be so arrogant as to make yourself the real head of the Rongguo Mansion! The head of the Rongguo Mansion Mistress, it’s her mother-in-law! I say whoever is in charge of this family will be in charge!”

It's already a bit of gnashing of teeth.Jia Zheng was startled, knowing that Mrs. Wang must have offended Jia's mother in some way, so he quickly bowed, "If mother has something to say, just tell her, and don't be angry. My son must teach Wang well when he goes back."

Only then did Mother Jia calm down a little, and finally said something that reassured both of them: "As for Miss Lin's things, although she has the receipt in her hand, the things are in our Jia's vault. Don’t move any of those dead objects. As for the money—if the family is really struggling, I’ll talk to my granddaughter boldly. You two uncles are big men, so just pretend not to know.”

The two let out a sigh of relief.Now, the money for repairing the garden is finally available.

After talking for a long time, Jia's mother became a little tired, and waved her hand to tell them, "Let's leave it as it is. Go ahead and do your work." She handed out the brochure again, and Jia Amnesty rushed to pick it up: "It must have been piled up in a mess yesterday. , put it in the warehouse today, check a pair of booklets carefully, and bring them back to mother later.”

Mother Jia nodded and hummed.

Jia Zheng hesitated, and wanted to say a few more words to Jia's mother, but Jia She watched his steps closely, saw that he was not moving, stopped himself, and called back to him: "Erlang, let's go together. Look ahead. I'm afraid Zhen'er and Lian'er are waiting for the two of us."

Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree, and followed him out.

Mother Jia looked at the backs of the two, sighed, shook her head, and said in a low voice, "Ah..."

Seeing that the old men had all left, Yuanyang hurried in to serve, but saw that Jia's mother was already lying on the couch, and fell asleep dimly.

Yuanyang walked over, and lightly laid a thin gauze quilt for Jiamu.

Jiamu still had her eyes closed, but she asked in a low voice, "How do you look?"

Yuanyang paused, then lowered her head: "The Eldest Master is very happy, the Second Master...has no expression."

In fact, Yuanyang showed mercy and tried his best to help the second master Jia Zheng cover up.To be precise, Jia Amnesty should be overjoyed, while Jia Zheng's face was ashen.

Mother Jia went down silently, sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's said that Da Lang is greedy, but Er Lang is straight..."

Yuanyang has always known that Jia's mother prefers Jia Zheng more, so she is a little puzzled.If the two masters go out from the old lady together, usually only Jia Zheng is in good spirits and Jia She is angry, but today it's the other way around, it's really strange.

Mother Jia slowly closed her eyes again.This time, she was really tired.

Jia Zheng walked to the gate of Aunt Zhao's yard in one breath before stopping.

After recovering a little bit of reason, he knew that he should not tell Aunt Zhao about this matter.Telling Aunt Zhao is equivalent to telling the entire Zhao family, and telling Tanchun.But Tanchun was originally on good terms with Daiyu...

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth. Since Tan Yatou and Daiyu are on good terms, let Tan Yatou pass this word over, and let Daiyu look at the dowry for herself, and don't let the long room be emptied!

Having made up his mind, Jia Zheng entered the East Courtyard.

But in the evening, Tanchun got a message from the book: "The aunt said, the master said, since the old lady is in charge, the marriage between the cousin girl and the second master Bao is a certainty. It's just that her dowry money is now in our house." Curry. The old lady has to say that if the family’s turnover is not open, the old lady will open the mouth to embezzle the cousin girl. The second master was annoyed, saying that the empress is the second wife, and Miss Lin’s money is also the second wife, but the title is the big one. The second master Bao still has a daughter-in-law at any rate, but this family has neither the third master Huan nor Brother Lan, it is really puzzling..."

When Jia Tanchun heard this, he sneered.

This is the old lady who is not evenly divided.

When Jiamu assigned Daiyu to Baoyu, it was equivalent to giving Baoyu all of Lin Ruhai's property.Jia Zheng was very happy about this.He thought that all the money belonged to the second wife.

But now, Mother Jia probably made it clear that Lin Daiyu's money is not allowed to be moved by anyone except her father who really has no money to move.Therefore, Jia Zheng was not happy.Isn't this taking Lin Daiyu's money to support everyone?Lin Daiyu's money should only support second-bedroom talents!

Shameless!

Only the most shameless people would actually take other people's money as their own, and be unhappy about the uneven distribution of spoils.Not only that, but he even has that face, wanting to let the owner of other people's money take the initiative to explain through himself, and give him more money!

What a shame!

Tan Chun glanced at the waiting book and asked, "Do you understand what it means for Master to tell Auntie this important confidential matter like this?"

Waiting for the book to bite his fingers and frowned, a little uncertain: "It sounds like the master wants the girl to tell the cousin that the money is not given to the public servant, but to our own people—that is, the people from the second room." Yes. But how can someone as smart as the master say such a slap in the face? It's Miss Lin's money. Even if she throws it in the treasury to breed worms, it's her own business. The idea of ​​hitting other people's money is originally It's shameful enough... It's like two thieves who stole something and divided the spoils unevenly, so why don't they go to the suffering master to seek justice?"
