By Jia Xiuzhen

After the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, Jia Lian was free these two days, so he played jokes on Brother Su at Second Sister You's place.Seeing that the room was full of her own people, Second Sister You complained, "I didn't tell us to go to the family banquet that day. If the bowl of water is flat, it's fine. How come I heard that Brother Xun was with the old lady?" Have you eaten at the table? This old man is always close to the common ones. Our brother Su doesn't see the old lady once or twice a year, so he doesn't take us seriously..."

Jia Lian said, "You've lost your mind again, haven't you. Brother Xun is of the same generation as me, and besides, he is a few years older than Brother Su. Our brother is still young. You are not afraid to go out to have a wind in the middle of the night." Freeze him?"

Second Sister You refused to let go: "Then Brother Lan is always from the same generation, so how can he go?"

Jia Lian became a little impatient: "Who can compare with Lan'er? He is a person who has face in front of the prince, and can buy fresh vegetables for the old lady from the royal field! Even we can't compare, you have a big heart. Another , He is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, how could it be the same."

The second sister You was touched by this sentence: "At that time, it was said that it was a second wife. In the end, where did the big banquet and festival bring me? Isn't it the same as those concubines! Now, after careful calculation, they are all concubines. Lying words..."

After all, Jia Lian is the seed of Jia Amnesty, so he is gentle and considerate. That was also when it was fresh at the beginning. This time and twice, he was also annoyed by this, so he put down Brother Su and said, "Every big banquet and festival must be entertained by the official's wife." Can you tell them about the current situation outside or the government affairs inside? Can you talk about the promotion of the court or the ebb and flow of business power? Can you remember which one you should salute and accept when you meet? What should you do if you received the gift? Even your eldest sister was laughed at for a long time back then, and she still told you to come! I advise you to take good care of Brother Su and stop thinking about it, it’s better than nothing!"

Said that he flicked his sleeves and went to Qiutong's room.Since Qiu Tong saw Jia Lian having a fit once, and saw that Sister Feng had died down, she learned to be good and didn't show up in the open.He only whispered privately about the opportunity to add eye drops, and if he encountered it, he would naturally not let it go.

As soon as Jia Lian left, Second Sister You burst into tears.Zhao Nanny has gone out to take care of her elder brother after a hundred days, and now the people in this house are all chosen by Second Sister You herself.At this moment, a woman came up to persuade: "Second Mistress, why are you bothering? You are no better than others. To gain a foothold in this mansion, after all, do you rely on the Second Master? You annoyed the Second Master, as if you were annoyed. Bodhisattva, even if you can burn incense, you don’t care about anything.”

Second Sister You cried: "Listen to what Grandpa said just now, don't you mean that you dislike me? I said that day that although I have two points of appearance, I am not capable and virtuous. At that time, I said yes. Now It's on the surface. Why is my life so hard, my poor brother Su..."

The mother-in-law said: "Second master's words are too exaggerated, no wonder grandma was disappointed when she heard it. Just think about it carefully, but it is also the truth. Grandma only looks at the limelight, and doesn't look at how good she is in a year. I've been lying in bed for half a year! How did I get here? I'm not too tired! It's not that easy to do housework and entertaining. There are eight hundred things in our house every day if there is no one thousand. That one should not be taken care of by the family? Human The heart is so big, and there is only so much blood in it. If it is used up, it will be dried up, which is not a death. Although the words of the second master are not pleasant, if you look closely, it is the meaning of pampering grandma."

Second Sister You stopped crying after hearing this, and sighed after thinking about it: "Speaking of it, my background is still inferior to others. I don't have that kind of foundation, and I can't act hard."

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "It's not easy? How about a woman marrying her husband and reincarnating again?! Grandma has voted back! As the saying goes, 'Money is a man's guts', grandma just save more Money, what can’t you buy? When the time comes, a lot of reward money will be thrown out, and those slaves will kneel and come to praise grandma!”

Second Sister You said with a bitter face: "How can I not understand this! Is that money going to fall from the sky? I don't have a family I can rely on, and I have already paid my elder sister for the idea back then. We have our share. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be worthy..." I was somewhat self-conscious, knowing that I would stop talking.

The woman smiled and said, "Grandma just didn't turn the corner. When was that time? At that time, you were just a girl from an ordinary family, but now? But the grandma of the Duke's Mansion! Can it be the same? Grandma doesn't know, There are many rich people in this world, but there are only a few people with power. There are so many things that can’t be done by spending 1 taels if you have no way out. It's a matter of talking! So many people want to rely on personal favors to find a way out, but they can't find a decent way."

Second Sister You said: "I've heard this kind of thing a few times when I was still at home, but I'm not some kind of person..."

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "What kind of character do you want! Grandma is the eldest grandson's wife of the hereditary lord! Oh, yo, this is not enough, then I really don't know what it is!"

Second Sister You coughed: "Sister, stop praising me. Didn't you hear what our master said just now? I can't even compare to others."

The woman said: "Grandma doesn't know, the one on the other end is too proud, and relying on the momentum of the Wang family, who else is in her eyes except the old lady? How can the poor dare to ask her to come to her if they have a grievance! Grandma, you have a kind heart that pity the poor and the weak, so you can save those who are in need."

Second Sister You smiled and said, "I haven't saved anyone, so I let Mammy say so."

The old woman smiled and said, "That's because no one asked to come. If there is someone who asks, can grandma see and not extend her hand? Just say that I am a distant cousin who saved a few taels of silver and wanted to buy a good piece of land for him." If the children and grandchildren ran into local bullies, they would not say that the money was taken, but they would not give it back! It must be said that they took money from another family! My cousin couldn’t do it, so he just said that he would not sell it, and the fixed silver of the day would not be given. Come back, guess what, when I came to talk to someone, I was beaten up!

The more remote the place, the less the law of the king, and there are two forces in the remote place, so the officials don't bother to take care of it when they see it's not a big deal.Not long ago, he begged me.What can I do?If you don't have to come to beg grandma, grandma doesn't need to talk to the second master, just call the second master's close servant and give orders, everything will be done.All the wives and grandmas in this house do it like this, otherwise how could there be so much filial piety!I don't know if grandma is willing to love us. "

Second Sister You remained calm when she heard this, and the woman understood her meaning, and said with a smile: "If grandma agrees to this matter, she will have to send someone. My cousin is not ignorant, he has already paid 300 taels of silver, It’s for grandma’s envoy.”

When Second Sister You heard that she could get 300 taels, her heart immediately became hot, and she asked again: "I just need to talk to Xing'er and the others? Is it... that's it?"

The old woman laughed and said, "It's not that simple! If everyone is vying to be a master, they will lose their legs, and they won't be able to stand up to your words!"

Sure enough, a day later, Second Sister You found an excuse to call Xing'er over, and only asked a few words about the second master, and explained the matter.Xing'er heard that it was the second master's order, and that it was a matter of the second grandma's relatives, so she said, "I'll let someone on the paperwork outside write the letter later, so I just ask the second grandma to rest assured."

But half a month later, the old woman really took 300 taels of silver bills to thank Second Sister You, and Second Sister You saw how easy the money came.In the future, I will become more and more compassionate and save all sentient beings, all of which will not be mentioned later.

He also said that when Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li Wanfeng were in front of her, Jia's mother suddenly mentioned the last inspection of the garden.She said: "The matter has already been done, so it's useless for me to say anything. At that time, I only heard you talking about the Zhen family's affairs lively, but it was for nothing? Don't take it to heart at all! Tanya That's right, it's not easy to kill people like us from the outside, but it's quick to kill ourselves from the inside!"

Everyone was shocked, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing turned pale.Usually, Mother Jia got angry and said two harsh words, most of them privately. How could she say this to a group of people?It can be seen that he is angry.

Only Mrs. Xing thought to herself, she has nothing to do with this matter after all, they don't often see those erotic embroidered bags there, they don't raise girls, they don't disturb anyone, and they don't get involved in this matter, what do they say? I can't blame myself either.

Mrs. Wang thought that Mother Jia's anger was probably directed at Mrs. Xing. After all, it was the people on the other side who found out that something was wrong, and everyone on her side was clean and innocent, so it couldn't be said about herself.Even if you want to say that the housekeeper is unfavorable, you have to discuss in detail who is responsible for the trouble.

Jia Mu looked at the expressions of the audience, sighed in her heart, and said simply: "I know what you are thinking at this time, most of the other people's sins are greater than your own. But I have never heard a word, "Under the nest There is no complete egg'. Is it possible that people like us have made great achievements for nearly a hundred years, relying on one or two smart people from generation to generation? Or whoever made a mistake and humiliated the family, and the outside world only talks about this one, and the rest Still have everything in place?!

Speaking of which, is it true that everyone in the Zhen family ransacked the house and violated the king's law?It's okay to confiscate the house and pick whichever one has less trouble?I want to hear what you guys have to say in detail!For a moment, he only used the affairs of the servants outside and inside to step on his own people, but he was really promising and scheming!Talk about a lot of age, but even the third girl can't match her knowledge! "

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang couldn't stand up anymore, they knelt down quickly, and neither dared to speak.Jia Mu said again: "In a big family, disharmony between master and son is already a taboo. If the treacherous villains below seize this gap and provoke them, it means that they have fallen into people's eyes! Another thing, see Such a villain, if he doesn’t fight or kill, it’s really ridiculous if he believes that. Are you in charge of the house, or is the slave in charge of the house for you? I really don’t know who is the master and who is the slave!”

Seeing the two wives of King Xing knelt down, Li Wan and Feng sisters quickly knelt down. This time, they heard Jia Mu even said such words, and they dared not even vent their anger.Jia's mother then said: "Wang Shanbao's family's treacherous words confuse the master, and they have evil intentions. They spread my words, so that the deacons and wives arrested her and beat her eighty times. The whole family was dismissed and sent to Zhuangzi for strict supervision Anyone who is involved in this matter in the garden, the gatekeepers, the messengers, and the night patrols, will be punished as dereliction of duty. The second girl and the third girl will follow me to learn some rules of managing affairs and housekeeping from tomorrow, and the fourth girl Let’s talk later when I’m still young.”

After speaking, he stood up, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "I know you don't like me to meddle in your affairs, and I don't want to meddle in your affairs. Kneeling me at this time is better than kneeling backwards." Greetings from Lord Chaotang!"

After saying this, he helped Yuanyang's hand, and Gu Zi went back.After a long time, Sister Feng stepped forward to support Mrs. Xing, Li Wan stepped forward to support Mrs. Wang, and everyone got up one after another, all of them were covered with cold sweat on their foreheads, hands and body.Xiang Gu felt awkward, so he had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

Mrs. Wang went back and lay down, but she didn't dare to get sick at this time, struggled to take two patches of medicine, and refused to tell anyone to go.When Jia Zheng came back and saw her sleepy, he thought it was because he was tired of handling the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn't say much, and went to the courtyard after a few words of comfort.

He wanted to go to the two new aunts to spend a while, but when he went in, he was stopped by Aunt Zhao. He didn't want to be too heartless, so he went to sit in her room and asked about Jia Huan by the way.Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Aunt Zhao said mysteriously: "Master doesn't know yet. Today, the old lady got very angry, and our wife and the old lady next door have been talked about! And dealt with a lot of things." People. The wife is afraid that she will feel uneasy, so she will fall ill."

As soon as Jia Zheng heard that Jia's mother was angry, he was fascinated and hurriedly asked what happened.What Aunt Zhao got most was to inquire about the news, so she told the whole story in detail, and then said: "Let's not say whether the girl was wronged or not. The things are in the box, who knows who put them in? Let's talk about her If you don’t serve young men, what are you doing hiding this kind of thing on your body! No matter how suspicious it sounds, the old lady will be angry!"

After Jia Zheng heard this, he slapped the table, "Stupid! Idiot!"

Aunt Zhao's face was terrified, but her heart was secretly happy. Jia Zheng suddenly thought of Aunt Zhao's past events, and she couldn't believe all of her words.After coming out of her, he went to Jin Chuan'er.
