[Red House] Raiders of life

In Jia's mother's courtyard, Mrs. Wang talked about Wang Xifeng's kindness with eloquence.

"It's not that I'm praising my niece. I watched Brother Feng grow up. My eldest brother left early. She followed my sister-in-law and helped my sister-in-law since she was a child. She was a master of the housekeeper. He is a person who knows how to live. Even his appearance is one of a kind, and the old lady has seen it before."

Jia Mu nodded again and again, "He looks like a bright and cheerful child, and he is also good-looking. He is also a good match with Lian'er."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's eyes narrowed into a smile, "Exactly because of this sentence, I don't think there is anyone more suitable than the two of them. Brother Feng has also been to our house several times, and so has Tong Lian'er." I know each other well. I also want to know each other well, but it's rare that Lian'er himself is willing. Old lady, don't you think this is a match made in heaven?"

As soon as the words were finished, I heard a violent shout: "Such a match made in heaven, how can I, as an old man, not know!"

Both Wang and Jia's mother were stunned for a while, then they saw Jia Amnesty lift the curtain and barge in.Jia Mu frowned, "What are you going crazy again!"

Lin Ning sneered, "Old lady, I just wanted to ask the second younger sibling, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I am not dead yet, why is it the turn of her, the aunt in the next room, to make an appointment for Lian'er?" , but I still don’t know anything about it!”

This was not polite at all, Wang said embarrassingly, "How can I hide it from the old lady, I am discussing this matter with the old lady, and I haven't made a decision yet. If it comes to engagement, it is natural To tell the old man."

Lin Ning heheed twice, "Great, what do you mean, you have the final say on my son's marriage, just let me know when we get engaged?"

Wang was stunned, she didn't mean that!

Jia Mu pointed at Jia She with her cane and said angrily, "Look at your virtue, you still know that you are an old man! You old man doesn't care about his own son, why don't you allow others to treat your son well!"

Lin Ning looked at Jia's mother, "The old lady thinks this is for Lian'er's benefit?"

Both Jia Mu and Wang were stunned for a while, wondering to themselves, what kind of medicine did Jia Amnesty take today?

Seeing that the two of them did not answer, Lin Ning said: "It seems that the old lady and the second younger siblings really think that the Wang family girl is good, and they appointed her to Lian'er for Lian'er."

Seeing Lin Ning's calm expression, Mrs. Wang nodded her head, relaxed her heart, and said, "Brother Feng, that girl, the old master, has met once. Whoever sees it doesn't like it. Although my eldest brother is gone, but Brother Feng and the others stayed with my second brother, and my second brother also took Feng Geer as his daughter since childhood. Because of the loss of his father at a young age, Feng Geer took charge of the whole family at an early age. Especially she has a bright temper , and Lian'er get along well, and the two children played together when they were young, so they have a childhood sweetheart. Isn't it just right?"

Lin Ning slowly found a seat and sat down. The glass served a cup of tea with a wink. Lin Ning took a sip and said "hmm" twice in his mouth: "In this way, no matter what the girl looks like, Temperament, butlers and directors are all outstanding."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, "If it wasn't like this, how would I tell Lian'er. The most important thing is, I asked Lian'er, and Lian'er was also happy."

Lin Ning looked at Jia Lian, "Are you happy?"

Jia Lian felt that the amount of information Lin Ning gave him today was too much, and he hadn't finished digesting it, and he hadn't recovered from the shock. Since he entered the door, he followed Lin Ning's buttocks without saying a word.Seeing Lin Ning asking him now, his tone was as if he could kill him if he dared to nod his head, his face collapsed immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Marriage is a big matter, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker , the son dare not be self-disciplined."

Lin Ning felt relieved when he heard this, and touched his armor unconsciously. This was a problem after becoming Mrs. Lin, but it was a pity that Jia Amnesty had no armor.Lin Ning felt for nothing, let go of his hand uncomfortably, looked at Jia Lian for a while and was relieved, it was not hopeless, and it was not in vain to prepare a lot of excuses and talk to him for a long time.

But these words made Jia Mu and Wang a little surprised. Jia Lian was very happy when he said it to Jia Lian before, so why is the tone not right now?The two looked at Jia Amnesty at the same time, obviously thinking that this guy was causing trouble.

Jia Mu said, "Boss, what do you want to do here today!"

Lin Ning rubbed his chin, "The old lady's question is really unreasonable. Could it be that I, as an old man, can't intervene in my son's marriage?" Jia's mother was about to get angry when Lin Ning said again, "I didn't either. What do you want to do, I just want to ask my second sibling, why didn't you tell Zhu Er about such a good girl's family!"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a while, then came back to her senses, and mumbled, "Zhu'er and Miss Li's family are talking about kissing each other!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't that what you're talking about? It hasn't been decided yet? Since it hasn't been decided, it can naturally be changed."

Wang's face became stiff, "This...isn't there too much age difference? Zhu'er is already eighteen, and Feng Geer is not as old as Ji yet."

Lin Ning waved his hand and shook his head, "If I remember correctly, Miss Wang and Lian'er are the same age, but two months younger. Calculated, they are only more than three years younger than Zhu'er. What's the difference? , Which one doesn't have to be prepared for a year or so after it's settled? There are even two or three years. Otherwise, Lian'er is only fourteen, why is it so urgent?

Pearl and Miss Wang are just right for me.Didn't Zhu'er always insist on establishing a career first and then a family?This autumn is the provincial examination, and next year there will be an examination, the palace examination.When Zhu'er is in high school and Miss Wang is old enough, it will be a double blessing to have this marriage at that time, wouldn't it be better! "

The corner of Wang's mouth twitched, and the silk handkerchief tightly wrapped in his hands was tearing.Feng girl is not as reliable as her father, and her only elder brother, Wang Ren, is worthless.Even now it seems that the second brother treats them pretty well, but the second brother has his own daughter.What's more, her Zhu'er is going to be the number one scholar in high school, parade around the streets, and pick flowers in Qionglin.It is the civil servant's way to go in the future, so it is better to rely on this for the marriage.How can Feng girl be as good as the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu.Those who come out of the Imperial College will be able to sit in high school as cabinet ministers in the future, and they will also be called Mr. Guozijian Jijiuyiyi.

Besides, she wanted to marry Feng girl to Jia Lian, and because of Feng girl's kindness to her, she must have one heart with her. By then, wouldn't this mansion still be her world?It was originally a good move, but why did such a change happen.

Lin Ning looked at Mrs. Wang, feeling sarcasm in her heart, "The second brother and sister praised Miss Wang as the best in the sky, and the best in the world. Such a good girl, she should be given to Zhu'er. After all, the order of the elders and the younger is orderly. How can Lian It's not good to hear the news about my son and brother robbing each other. Don't you think so?"

Jia Lian was the one who asked the last question. Jia Lian was startled and said three yeses in a row, saying, "Why would my son fight with Big Brother Zhu for a woman?"

Lin Ning nodded in satisfaction, and said directly: "That's it, Miss Wang is just right for Zhu'er!"

Jia Mu said angrily: "How can you mess up mandarin ducks like this!"

Lin Ning looked puzzled, "Why are you messing around with mandarin ducks! Didn't the second sibling praise Miss Wang for a while just now? Appearance, temperament, housekeeper, director, everything is outstanding, where can I find such a daughter-in-law? Besides, if you talk about kissing As a close relative, Zhu'er and Miss Wang are cousins. In terms of childhood sweethearts, Zhu'er is more familiar with Miss Wang than Lian'er and Miss Wang. One by one, no matter how you look at it, Zhu'er is more suitable than Lian'er!"

Wang was anxious, "Where are they suitable!"

Lin Ning narrowed his eyes, "What do the second siblings think is inappropriate for them?"

Where is it inappropriate?This... what should Mrs. Wang say!She gritted her teeth and looked at Jia's mother eagerly, only hoping that Jia's mother would come forward.It's a pity that Lin Ning didn't give them a chance, so he spoke first, "Second brother and sister can't tell, but I can! Second brother and sister want to listen?"

Both Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother were very surprised, and their hearts were shocked. They only felt that Jia Amnesty today was too unusual.Jia's mother had a strong feeling that she should quickly shut Jia She's mouth, so that he could not let him say what he said later, but before she could move, Jia She had already opened her mouth.

"Wang Ziteng is now in power in the Wang family. Wang Xifeng is just a niece from the next room. No matter how much she loves her, she can get some sincerity. Wang Xiluan is still under Wang Ziteng's knee! The second younger sibling is the daughter of the Wang family. Those who help Zhu'er, the Wang family will also help. Being married can't help Zhu'er. But the girl of the Li family is different. As the Imperial College Jijiu, Mr. Li is in charge of teaching the Guozijian, and most of the Guozijian Jijiu has participated in the past years. The invigilator of the imperial examination. All the students who pass the exam are regarded as the examiner's students. This is a natural social network for Zhu'er."

These words surprised all the people present.This is what Wang and Jia's mother had in mind when they proposed to marry Li Wan for Jia Zhu.But they didn't expect that Jia She, who used to only know how to have fun, would have a clear mind.

And what about Jia Lian?He is not very old, and he is not yet in charge of the general affairs of the mansion. He has no errands, and he does not take part in the imperial examination. He has never paid much attention to this aspect, nor has he thought about it.Now that I heard this, I suddenly understood that the elders were so attentive to Jia Zhu's marriage.What about your own?

Jia's mother sneered, "Don't be so cynical. Zhu'er asked to marry a girl from the Li family. That's because Zhu'er has the ability, and the Li family can agree. Lian'er never liked to study, and you, father, don't care. Now you are not even a child. You look at the Li family well, but if it's Lian'er, think about it for yourself, the Li family will agree!"

This is indeed the case, and Jia's mother is right.Lin Ning nodded, and then said again: "The old lady said something wrong. I didn't think the Li family was so good, and I didn't think that Lian'er could marry a girl from the Li family, and I didn't even think about finding him. Girl, each person has his own destiny. Zhuer can read, I have no problem with you helping him pave the way. But even if Lianer can't read well, it doesn't mean he can't do things well, why should his marriage be someone's pawn It's over!"

The words meant something, and Mrs. Wang could tell, "My lord's words are not right. What are some people's pawns? Who is the lord talking about? Old lady, you have to make the decision for me! I'm kind enough to help Lian'er talk about marriage, if the Elder Master is not happy, dissatisfied or not agreeing, I will go back to my sister-in-law. But what is the Elder Master talking about? Who is talking inside and outside the words!"

Lin Ning smiled, "I didn't name the names, whoever has a guilty conscience will take the seat by himself!"

Jiamu hammered her crutches to the ground and said angrily, "Have you made enough trouble?"

"Trouble? Since the old lady thinks I'm making trouble, then I'll make trouble! Anyway, I don't dare to take the daughter of the Wang family! Wang Ren, that Miss Wang's brother only goes to Firework Lane and casinos on weekdays. He's so old, he doesn't even have a serious business. If it's just like this, it's fine. But he fights cards with people in the casino, and if he loses, he won't allow them to leave. He finds four or five people to beat them up! Characters, such relatives, who would dare to have them!"

"Then there is Miss Wang, who is praised by her second sibling as the only one. She is good at being a director at a young age. But she is also a bold and lawless master who doesn't know what the law of the country is. Years ago, she knew Xu Fu, a businessman in the north of the city. Qianjin, my elder brother valued someone else's garden in the south, but they refused to sell it. He planned to rob it. In the end, he was sued and sent to the Yamen. Their family has money but no power. Miss Xu went to Miss Wang, but Miss Wang You really show loyalty. Without further ado, I took 5000 taels of silver and directly took Wang Ziteng's name card to settle the matter."

"She's such a girl, she's such a girl, she's such a character!"

Wang's face was flushed, "Master, what are you talking about? If you have any dissatisfaction, just point at me. Why do you insult our Wang family like this! You have to tell evidence in everything?"

"What is Wang Ren like, as an aunt, don't you know? If you don't believe me, just go to the Fireworks Lane Casino and ask anyone. Then there is Miss Wang, she knows it in her heart!" Lin Ning hehe, "As for the evidence? Want to come You have done such things a lot, right? Isn’t it just because others have no evidence? Or, even if there is evidence, you dare not do anything to you? Over the years, you have held the name card of your second child, oh, no, the second child did it Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, is still a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he is a little bit big from a fifth-rank official, and his famous post is of no use!"

"I'm afraid you are doing these things with the famous post of my Rongguo Mansion! Maybe you even use the name of my first-class general. Hehe, you've got it, I haven't seen a single silver, but if things turn around Come out, and I will have to bear the charge!"

Mrs. Wang knelt down in an instant, grabbed Jia Mu's legs, and burst into tears, "Old lady, I am wronged! The old man is full of blood!"

Jia Mu beat Jia Amnesty with a crutch, but Jia Amnesty dodged it. Jia Mu was even more annoyed, "How crazy are you today! You are talking nonsense! This kind of illegal thing, you can say it casually! You don't Dutiful son! In the past, I didn’t have a good type, so it’s fine if I can only mess around, but your second brother and the first room can’t forgive you! You want to hurt him like this!”

"Aren't you just because of Lian'er's marriage? Lian'er's marriage was decided by me! You are his father. I am his grandmother, or your old mother! You are pointing at my nose and scolding, Saying that I have treated Lian'er badly! Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you!"

This sound was louder than that, and attracted all the servants in the mansion, especially the unfilial sentence after sentence after sentence.Didn't the back and forth just want to spread his unfilial reputation and use this to suppress him!

Lin Ning hummed twice, then sat on the ground and howled.Are ghosts crying and wolves howling?Who wouldn't!See if you have a loud voice, or I am a big man with a loud voice!

"The old lady has to speak with her conscience! I don't have any skills, but I always follow the old lady in everything. The old lady doesn't like me, but likes the second child. So I moved to the small garden and took the seat of Rongxi Hall. I gave it up to the second child. Since ancient times, there is a distinction between seniority and juniority. According to the rules, it is the home of the head of the family, but just because the old lady said a word, I did not say a word. I even ignored the ancestral law. .”

"All these years, the old lady let the second child entertain guests in the name of the master of the mansion. How did I say anything? Why did I make trouble for the second child at the banquet? It is the various industries inside and outside the mansion. Isn't it all under the care of the Second Household? Now I just ask outside, nine out of ten people probably think that the mansion is the second son's master, not me. That's it, I didn't say anything! But the old lady keeps saying that I'm not filial, and I really don't know what I should do to satisfy the old lady! Could it be that the old lady wants me to give the title to my second child?"

"If the old lady is thinking this way, you should have said it earlier! You just need to open your mouth, and I will immediately accept the son. As long as the emperor is willing, there is nothing wrong with me giving this title to the second child! I don't ask for anything, I just beg you to let me go." Lian'er! Brother Hu'er is dead, and now I'm only Lian'er's son-in-law!"

Lin Ning patted his thigh and cried while speaking, each sentence was louder than each sentence, and each word was sonorous and powerful.The servants inside and outside the courtyard heard it clearly, and couldn't help but think in their hearts. It seems that these servants have indeed regarded the second house as the master of the mansion all these years, and have never paid much attention to the big house.Now after hearing Lin Ning's words, many people came to their senses, alas, only then did they realize that this Rongguo Mansion belongs to the Grand Master!

Lin Ning wiped away tears one by one, and kept complaining in his heart, is it easy for her to act so shamelessly?Luckily, Jia She was originally an unscrupulous character, and his appearance is not too outrageous, otherwise, some big man would sit on the ground and play tricks on his daughter.

Jia Lian was so dumbfounded that his jaw dropped.This... what the hell is God unfolding!

Wang Shi and Jia's mother were also crying, but Jia She's voice was too loud, completely covering their voices.Originally, she was very anxious, but when she heard Jia She's last words, Wang's heart became alive, but she didn't quite believe it, title, how could the old lady let go as soon as she opened her mouth, she really lied and didn't write a draft.

Mother Jia's heart froze, even if she really wanted to, she couldn't say that!I just kept shouting: "Unfilial son! Unfilial son! You are ignorant and unable to support the family business. I have to ask the second child to take up this important task. If you talk about it, it will become a dispute between me and the second child. You are poking my heart!"

Lin Ning suddenly stood up from the ground and shouted: "Come here! Come! Some people will send the old lady to the yamen! Since the old lady keeps saying that I am unfilial, why don't you go to the yamen to beat the drum and sue me?" A crime of unfilial piety is good! If my crime is confirmed, this title will naturally be gone, and then it will be the second child! The old lady just go! You can tell me in front of the world, what am I? How can you be unfilial!"

"By the way..." Lin Ning glanced at Mrs. Wang, "If the second brother and sister feel that what I said is an insult to you and the Wang family, you can also talk to the people in the yamen and let the yamen check it out. If it is clear, I can return you and the Wang family! By the way, I can be punished for framing me!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned, this...how can I check!If you really find out something...

She looked at Jia Mu anxiously, "Old lady!"

Mother Jia gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Ning, wishing she could stuff this son back into her belly, she would rather never have had one.Others are afraid of being accused of being unfilial and ruining their lives, so he rushes forward.What does he want to do!But...however, she really couldn't tell where Jia Amnesty was unfilial.With the title of humility, giving up the house of the head of the family, giving up the property in the mansion and so on, even if she uttered a hundred disrespectful words of Jia She, they were only trivial details and untenable.And I'm afraid others will think that she is lying.after all……

Mother Jia suddenly felt that it was a huge mistake to let Erfang live in Rongxi Hall.She seems to have made a wrong move...

She looked at Lin Ning with doubtful eyes.How could Lin Ning not know what she was thinking, didn't he just think that he said these words just for show and would not let go of his title?

"People, where are they going? How many times have I told you to send the old lady to the yamen to beat the drums? Can't you hear me! Since you don't go, then only me, the son, will help the old lady to beat the drums. !” Lin Ning stepped out and walked out!

This posture is not like a show at all.Mother Jia was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Come on! Bring the old man back to me!"

After all, it is the old Fengjun in the mansion, and there are still many people in his hand. Lin Ning didn't think that he could walk out of the mansion, so he just let others carry him back!

Mother Jia gritted her teeth, "Don't you just not want Lian'er to marry Wang Xifeng? Good! This kind of marriage doesn't count. In the future, you have the final say on Lian'er's marriage. I'll see what good girl you can find for him!"

Hehe, do you want to calm things down like this?If so, why did she spend so much effort!Lin Ning shook his head, "I should have the final say on Lian'er's marriage!"

"What on earth do you want!" These words were squeezed out word by word from Jia Mu's teeth.

Lin Ning patted the ashes on his body, and said two words quite elegantly: "Separate!"
