The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

"The deed of sale!" Lin Zhixiao took out the paper from the box with trembling hands. The yellowed color of the paper indicated that the deed of sale had been there for some years, and there were two neatly placed inside. It was Lin Zhixiao and the book. Lan's deed of sale.

"Master, let's take it to the government to cancel it!" Shulan said happily, when they go to the government to cancel their slave status, they will be free, and no matter what happens to Jia's house, they will not be involved .

Lin Zhixiao shook his head, and put the deed of sale back into the box, "I'll go to the mansion right away to see the elder."

"Master, this is..." Shulan couldn't help being anxious, didn't she agree to leave her nationality, is it possible that Lin Zhixiao will regret it when the end comes?Shulan panicked a little, if she doesn't leave her school at this time, when will she wait?

Although Shulan knew in her heart that in the future when the concubine was conferred with relatives in Yuanchun, the servants of Jia's mansion, especially the housekeepers, would still be able to make a lot of money, but at that time it was not far from Jia's mansion being ransacked.Rather than coveting that little bit of cheapness, it is better to manage your own private property well, even if you lose a little bit, you will feel much more at ease.

After all, Shulan only knows an approximate time when Jia's house was ransacked, not the exact time, and who knows if it will be earlier.

This kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Jia's mansion has not lost its power yet. Even if we go to the official family to cancel the registration, we will send someone to Jia's mansion to inquire." Lin Zhixiao said quietly, because he was afraid that someone would steal his identity contract and secretly cancel his registration.

Shulan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master is still thoughtful, this matter should really be told to the elder of that mansion." She was insane just now, think about it since Mrs. Zhang has already returned the deed of sale to them Well, even if Jia She didn't know about it, he would be embarrassed to go back in the future, so why not buy one in front of Jia She.

"You are busy with family affairs, I will go into the mansion right away." Lin Zhixiao ordered.

"Yes!"

***

Lin Zhixiao's movements were still very quick. After changing his clothes, he took the box and went into the mansion. People greeted him along the way. Now who in Jia's house doesn't know that Lin Zhixiao's son Lin Shuyu passed the exam? He has become a martial arts examiner, and his ranking is much higher than that of Lian Erye. The future is indeed limitless.

Originally, Lin Zhixiao was the chief manager of the big house, the object of everyone's fawning, but now it is even more so.

Lin Zhixiao took the box and responded with a smile on his face. He inadvertently told about the fact that the old man and his wife allowed him to be a native, which made everyone envious.

Still the same sentence, if you go out to be ordinary people, these people will definitely not want to. Although you want to be a cow and a horse in Jia's mansion, you can rely on the power of Jia's mansion, and you can make extra money. Such a good thing in the world is not good many.But it would be different if Lin Zhixiao went out to be an official like Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao dealt with these people for a while, and after watching someone leave silently, Lin Zhixiao rushed out of the encirclement and went to Jia Amnesty's study.

At this time, Jia Amnesty had already returned home from work, and happily nestled in the study to study a pair of calligraphy and paintings he had taken out in the past few days. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao had come at this time, he couldn't help wondering: "Is there something wrong?" He didn't remember If I'm wrong, today is the day for the Lin family to treat guests. Lin Zhixiao is not at home to greet the guests, why did he suddenly come here?

I saw Lin Zhixiao knelt down in front of Jia She, opened the box in his hand, and presented it to Mr. Jia She, this is given by his wife..."

Jia Amnesty saw what was in the box and knew what was going on. Before Lin Zhixiao could finish speaking, he spoke first, "I know about this. Three generations of your family have worked for Jia's family for so many years. Now you My son is promising, so I can't let you take off your son's hind legs, if your son lives up to expectations, I, the master, will be happy too."

In fact, Lin Zhixiao didn't seek abuse by himself, but just put on a show. In the past, he didn't take Shulan's words seriously, but before Prince Yi (the title given by the emperor after the crown prince was abolished) failed to rebel, how many rich families and court ministers I was ransacked and wiped out!

When he was accepted by Jia She and went out to inquire about the news, he shuddered when he heard some things, and then thought about the scene when he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help Jia She buy things.Boxes of wealth accumulated by those people for decades or even hundreds of years are placed at the bottom and marked for sale.

The wives, grandmas, and girls who used to be delicate, were pressed and sold like livestock, and were also marked with a price.There are many people that Lin Zhixiao has come into contact with before, those housekeepers who used to be arrogant and look down on his son-in-law, who pretended to be powerful, are all placed on the ground like goods and hawked at will.

Lin Zhixiao was really scared. He didn't feel much about Lin Zhixiao when he heard Shulan talk about it before. Now that there are living examples in front of him, Lin Zhixiao is not the kind of person who wants to talk nonsense with his eyes open.At that time, he seemed to really get together with Shulan and strive to get out of the house as soon as possible.

So beware that Lin Zhixiao is just putting on a show, after hearing what Jia She said, he immediately kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you, master."

"Okay, get up!" Jia Amnesty said with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow, people will go to Shuntian Mansion to revoke their registration. Now that your son is from Wu Ju and your family is also a native, it will be difficult to live in the current place." It's not like that, do you have a place to go?"

In fact, the benefits of Jia’s mansion are really good. The back streets of Rongning and Ning’s mansions are all densely packed with houses. Except for the side branches of Jia’s mansion, the other houses are for the housekeeper’s servants of Jia’s mansion. It belongs to Jia's mansion, so the servants of Jia's mansion don't need money to live, and live for nothing.

It's just that the whole family like Lin Zhixiao has been released, so it is impossible for them to live in the house they live in now, and they have to move to make way.

Lin Zhixiao replied: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I saw a large number of houses in the capital being sold for sale. I pawned a few things that the master had rewarded me before, and bought a small house in Dongda Hutong on North [-]th Street." Said. It's North Fifth Street, which is actually the place where Jia's mansion is less than a stick of incense walking three streets away.

The reason why it is so close to Jia's mansion is not because Lin Zhixiao and Shulan want to hold on to Jia's mansion, but because the house happened to be right behind it is the house of the imperial censor. The emperor's most trusted censor, it is said that the emperor was afraid that someone would harm him, so he specially arranged someone to protect him.

What Lin Zhixiao and Shulan valued was Ma Yushi's identity. Since Ma Yushi was valued by the emperor, it is expected that the security around his house should be the best, so even if this house is not as cheap as other places, Lin Zhixiao Xiao and Shulan still bought the house.

Jia She laughed when he heard the words, and teased: "Okay, so you kid has already made preparations, so let me meddle in my own business."

"Master cares about me. I can only be grateful. How can I think that the master is nosy. This is not because the price of the house at that time was cheap. The old lady let me out as soon as my kid fell into the grass. This is why I took advantage of the cheapness. I bought it when I was occupying it, so I have to let him have a retreat in the future." Lin Zhixiao said with a playful smile.

At that time, everyone in the capital was in danger. The reason why the stolen goods were sold so cheap was largely because many people were not out of money, but were afraid that if they bought these things, they would be treated as colleagues by the emperor. Especially those with previous friendships.

Therefore, every time this kind of opportunity to make a fortune is mostly absorbed by the royal family, the officials outside are either irrelevant or fearful.The same is true for the newly bought house of the Lin family. If it weren't for the fact that many people were afraid to sell it at that time, how could it be Lin Zhixiao's turn to pick up the bargain!

"You think too far." Jia She said with a smile, this matter is over.

Neither Jia Amnesty nor Mrs. Zhang had any objections to the cancellation of the registration, so the matter was considered settled.Shulan was overjoyed for a while, and urged Lin Zhixiao to go to the government early the next morning to cancel his slave registration.

Looking at the newly obtained household registration, Shulan's heart that has been hanging in his travels until now has finally settled down. With this in the future, even if the Jia family is ransacked, it is not the Lin family's business.

With a good mood, Shulan was tired when she greeted everyone the next day, but still had a smile on her face. Even being stared at by Nanny Lai's family with envy and hatred didn't affect Shulan's good mood. She knew This is someone who is jealous of her, who made someone's grandson/son feel inferior.

It's just that Shulan doesn't care, but someone does.

A few days later, I got in touch with Zhao Dan's family on an errand, and when the family was ready to move to a new home, Lin Zhixiao and Shulan led Lin Shuyu and Lin Hongyu to Jia's mansion. Besides Xie En, Shulan was also in charge of To send invitations, if you have moved to a new home, you have to invite relatives and friends to recognize the door.

After waiting at the Chuihua Gate for a while, I saw Xueqiao and Danxuan, the big girls next to Jiamu, leading a few little girls over, "Sister Lin is here, congratulations to Sister Lin, this is my sister's girl, is she born?" That's great." Now everyone in the Jia family doesn't know that the Lin family has left their citizenship to become an official, naturally Xueqiao and Danxuan also know about it.

"She's too young to be praised like that." Shulan pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Is the old lady free now?"

Xueqiao nodded, "When we are free, the old lady asked us to come out to meet my sister, please come in quickly." Then she casually said: "Eldest wife, second wife, eldest grandma, second grandma, Miss Shi, eldest lady, second sister The girl is in the old lady's house too."

The eldest girl refers to Jia Yingchun, and the second girl refers to Jia Tanchun, but now there is nothing wrong with Jia Yuanchun.

Shulan understood, took Lin Hongyu's hand and walked in.

It was no different from before, Jiamu Lao Fengjun half leaned on the imperial concubine's bed, and a group of wives, grandmas and girls below flattered her.

"Greetings to the old lady, good luck to the old lady." Shulan knelt on the mat and said, Lin Hongyu on the side also followed suit.

"Get up!" Mother Jia hurriedly asked the people beside Shulan to help her mother and daughter. Of course, Mother Jia had seen Shulan before, but it was the first time that Mother Jia had seen Lin Hongyu. Small, but also a little beauty.

Jia's mother likes these water onion-like little girls most, and it's the first time they meet, she is very nice to Lin Hongyu, and she takes off the string of fragrant beads on her hand and gives it to Lin Hongyu as a meeting gift.

After sending Lin Hongyu to play with Jia Yingchun and the girls, Jia's mother said to Shulan, "You've made it through now, and you will have endless blessings in the future."

"Thank you, old lady, for your good words. The old lady was joking. No one in the whole capital can match the blessings of the old lady. I just got a little bit of the old lady's side. I just hope that the children will have a future. " Shulan flattered.

Jia's mother gave Shulan a blank look when she heard the words, "Your boy is only seventeen this year, and he is a martial artist at a young age. How do you want him to live up to his expectations? You can have fun secretly, don't push the child too hard. "

Originally, Mother Jia wanted to say that it would be great if she had such a son, but she suddenly thought that although Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were older than Lin Shuyu, they were all young talents when they were admitted to Juren before they were crowned.So Jia's mother swallowed the words that came to her mouth, secretly regretting that it would be great if Jia pardoned the two old men, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's two sons.

If the time counts down to more than ten years, others will really only envy Jia's mother. I am the order of the wife of Chaopin Guogong, and the two sons are officials bestowed by the emperor himself. A woman married Tanhualang, how could it be otherwise? envy, jealousy, hate.This can be said to be the best situation for a woman except for the Queen Mother.

But no one thought that the two sons were not up to the mark. More than ten years later, they were still minor officials of the fifth or sixth rank, and it was difficult for Jia's mother to go out to meet people.The only thing that comforts Jia's mother is that the two grandsons of her grandchildren are outstanding. As for Jia Baoyu, now Jia's mother selectively ignores him.

Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, "What the old lady said is that I am secretly happy that he is so competitive, and I can't even win."

"Sister Lin has survived now. Don't forget that we are the ones who will become prosperous in the future. If I come to visit in the future and my sister refuses to recognize me, I will not follow her." Wang Xifeng said jokingly.

"Grandma is here, I should open the door to welcome grandma, I'm afraid grandma won't come because she thinks our temple is small, so I will have to invite grandma."

Wang Xifeng smiled when she heard the words, "Oh, why don't I want to enjoy a day for nothing, my sister will just send my mother-in-law to invite me in the future, even if I don't have time, I will find time to enjoy it for a day."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and Jia's mother even pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded "monkey spirit" with a smile.

After amused and said a few more words, Shulan handed the post to Wang Xifeng, teasingly said: "I gave the post to you face to face, if you don't come to the door after ten days, then we won't see each other in the future."

Wang Xifeng took the post and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely arrive on time. Even if the old lady doesn't go, I will join in the fun." How could he not try to win him over? Anyway, it was just normal people coming to invite guests, so there was no need to worry too much about it. How could Wang Xifeng not go to such a good thing.

Shulan said with a smile: "Then I'll just wait for Grandma to visit, don't miss out on congratulatory gifts..."

"Ouch!" Wang Xifeng immediately gave up. "Look, old lady, sister Lin is waiting for me here again, so I said why she is so kind. It turned out that it was her idea to hit my pocket."

Everyone who said it laughed, and Jia Mu laughed and said: "This Feng spicy talker is very choking."

Shulan presented another invitation card to Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, old lady. Grandma will be really annoyed by then, and I will become a villain in Grandma's eyes."

Wang Xifeng heard the words and went up to pull Shulan, and said intimately: "My good sister, you are a living Bodhisattva in my heart, how could you become a villain."

Shulan raised her eyebrows, pretending to be serious and said: "Isn't this staged on stage? Love breeds hatred. As deep as love was in the past, then the hatred will be deep in the future. I have to be more careful."

It made Jiamu and everyone laugh out loud!

After having fun for a while, Shulan saw that it was getting late, so she was about to stand up and say goodbye. Who would have thought that before she stood up, a person walked in outside, and she took a closer look to see that it was everyone's fault.

Seeing that everyone came in, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, and Mother Jia asked, "What's the matter?"

Everyone Lai knelt down, glanced at Shulan, and said with some pride: "Returning to the old lady, there are some things in the account that are not right. The chief executive sent me to ask Lin Zhixiao's family."

Shulan raised her eyebrows!

Lin Zhixiao's family...

Although I am indeed called by this name when outsiders call it now, how can I say it, the rules of the Jia family are more respectable than the young master's family members who have served their parents.Everyone Lai is considered to be of the same generation as Shulan, so they are usually called sisters and sisters. At this time, they suddenly called this name, which immediately made Shulan feel wrong.

Sure enough, Shulan's premonition was correct.

Those who come who are not kind will not come!

Hearing this, Shulan said very bluntly: "Sister Lai's words made me confused. It stands to reason that after I get married, I will serve the elders and wives, and I will also be in charge of the affairs of the elders. It’s about the affairs of Gongzhong and the old lady, while housekeeper Lai (Lai Da) is in charge of the affairs of the second room. I’ve already contacted Zhao Dan’s and Zhao Jin’s about the big room, and I haven’t seen them say there’s anything wrong , Why would it suddenly pop up at this time that there is an inaccuracy in the account, and you even come to ask me, it's strange."

Shulan almost didn't say clearly that the Lai family was meddling and looking for trouble.

Mother Jia frowned, glanced at Nanny Lai who was standing beside her, and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"The old lady forgives me for my misrepresentation just now. Some of the figures in the public account are not correct. The chief manager is reconciling with the housekeeper Lin. I also ask Lin Zhixiao's family to stay at the house for a while." Lai everyone heard. Changed his words.

But Shulan refused, and covered her mouth with a smile: "The public account is not correct... This is even more ridiculous. When the public account is not correct, look for my family. My family has always served the old man. I haven’t touched anything in the public house.” The corners of his eyes turned up in a blink of an eye, “Could it be that the chief manager is talking about when my father-in-law was alive in front of the chief manager of Jia’s mansion.”

If everyone Lai dared to say yes, the traces of deliberately finding fault would be too obvious. After all, Master Lin has been the head of the Jia family for more than ten years, and he passed away a few years ago.No matter how bad people are in this era, they all pay attention to an iron coffin. If Master Lin passed away, it would be too disgusting to talk about him.

If you found a problem when you took over, why didn’t you say it, but people have been dead for several years, so what is it for you to say it?

Everyone Lai shook his head, "No, it's a display, and the account book of the display is not right here."

The furnishing of Shulan's eyebrow-raising big house was indeed under Lin Zhixiao's management, and things like the furnishing and land deeds were indeed in the public house when the big house and the second room were separated, mainly for the convenience of management.As for the private property purchased by the eldest and second bedroom in the future, it will be handled by the wives of the two bedrooms themselves, and they are not in the public house.

As it turned out, even if she knew that the Lai family was deliberately finding fault, Shulan couldn't take it easy, she just looked at Jia Mu.

Mother Jia lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "Someone go and invite the Eldest Master, Chief Steward, and Steward Lin."

All three of them were in the house, and they came soon.

A [-]-cut red sandalwood gemstone screen separated the Ming Hall, and Jia Mu's words came out from the screen, "What's the matter, why did the good things happen that the furnishings don't count?"

Director Lai knelt down in front of the screen and said: "Returning to the old lady, I have not been in charge of the furnishing of the second bedroom of the big house over the years. Lin Zhixiao has always been in charge of the furnishings of the big house. Grace was let go, and at the will of the Elder Master, Zhao Dan was handed over the matter.

A few days ago, Zhao Dan suddenly came to me and said that the furnishings of the big room were a little out of date.I thought that Lin Zhixiao had always been cautious and would not make mistakes, so I didn't disturb the old lady, just asked Zhao Dan to check it carefully again, but it was still a little bit worse.Zhao Dan and I checked the ledger carefully, and found that the few items that didn't match the numbers were all placed in the past few months, and no one had damaged them back and forth. "

"Oh!" Mother Jia asked in a deep voice, "What are the missing ones?"

"Pomegranate and lotus seed Ru kiln colored porcelain vase, white jade lotus paperweight, tooth pendant five-color agate plate, and tooth-carved fish music picture pen holder." Director Lai said, and finally took a gloating look at Lin Zhixiao and added: "I heard that Lin Zhixiao was in Beijing some time ago. Fifth Street bought a house for juniors..."

As soon as Director Lai made this statement, the people present didn't understand anything, so he almost said that Lin Zhixiao embezzled Jia's things.

Everyone was silent for a while, and really didn't know how to answer these words.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu have always been polite to Lin Zhixiao and Shulan, but they are only polite. Compared with them, these two hope that their confidants will be the chief executive of the big house.As for Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, Lin Zhixiao and Shulan's misfortune is none of their business, and they are not their second wife, so naturally they have nothing to do with themselves.

Jia's mother was completely in a state of shock. She was not surprised that Lin Zhixiao and Shulan might be corrupt, but that Director Lai would say this outright.

It is completely impossible to say that Mother Jia does not know that servants are corrupt. In the original book, she clearly pointed to Nanny Lai and the others and said: She knows that they are all wealthy people. There are even more young masters.

With so many people coming, it is definitely impossible to have so many people just relying on monthly money and daily rewards from the master, and it is not because of corruption.

It's just that Jia's mother understands many things in her heart and pretends to be confused on the surface. The servants of the rich family are like this. As long as the slaves under them are not too excessive, the master's family will generally not clean up, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.In the upper class, face is the number one priority, especially for a family like the Jia family who always likes to slap their faces to look fat.

Jia's mother always knew that the Lai family had some envy and hatred for Lin Zhixiao's family. The reason was that Shulan gave birth to a good son, which made Lai Shangrong's aura less.Nowadays, the title of "other people's child" is not Lai Shangrong's but Lin Shuyu's. When the servants of Jia's family mention the matter of leaving the mansion, they will only envy the Lin family, not the Lai family.

This made the Lai family feel good about themselves and could bear it.

In the past, Master Lin was the Chief Manager of the Jia Mansion, and the servants of the Jia Mansion envied the Lin family.Now that he is the chief manager of his own Jia family, the Lin family is still the envy of the Jia family servants.How does this make them happy!It's just that there was no good time and handle before.

If there is a handle, Mr. Lai will definitely kill the Lin family every second.

Obviously, everyone used to be of the same status. Seeing that the Lin family is about to leave the mansion to live a happy and happy life now, but his family can only be a lowly man in Jia's mansion, Mr. Lai feels very dissatisfied. It's a good feeling, and Nanny Lai is talking about envy, jealousy and hatred, which makes Mr. Lai break the nerve called reason.

It just so happened that Lin Zhixiao had another problem. Seeing that he was about to leave the house soon, there would be no chance of revenge in the future.Director Lai didn't investigate carefully, so he made a fuss with the 'evidence'.

As long as the Lin family is overthrown, who else in Jia's mansion would dare to disobey his opinion? At that time, the Zhou family will have to obediently give up the position of the second house manager, and he will let his own in the Ningguo mansion The nephew will also become the chief executive, and at that time, Jia's mansion will be their family's world.

Jia's mother never thought of Mr. Lai's thoughts. If she knew, she would beat her with a stick.

Fortunately, Mother Jia didn't know now, so now Mother Jia was just surprised that Director Lai dared to say this outright.You must know that even if Manager Lai sued Lin Zhixiao's family for success this time, the servants in Jia's mansion must avoid the Lai family, because the Lai family violated the unspoken rules in the circle of servants, and they would suffer to the exclusion of all.

Mother Jia pondered for a moment and said, "I let him out early. I heard that after he got out, he did some business and made a lot of money. Besides, it's just a three-entry house. His father's reward can also be sold. You should check it carefully to see if there is anything missing. "

The meaning of Jia Mu's words is very clear, this is the rhythm of Baolin's family!

But Manager Lai was determined to bring down Lin Zhixiao's family, and turned a deaf ear to him, "Old Madam Mingjian, Zhao Dan and I have searched all the places in the mansion, and we haven't seen these four things." .I thought it was Lin Zhixiao’s omission, but now I asked him specifically, but he couldn’t tell why, which made me guess like that.”

I have to say that what Director Lai said was well-founded, and those who didn't know the truth heard it, and really thought that Lin Zhixiao embezzled the furnishings of Jia's mansion and took them out for money to buy a house.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty said, "I know about this. I gave it away to someone else. Because it was a little difficult to explain clearly, I didn't let him record it in the account, thinking that it would be dealt with badly in the future."

Jia Amnesty's words can be regarded as whitewashing for Lin Zhixiao.

It's just that Jia's mother frowned when she heard the words, and asked, "Who are you giving it to, can't you tell me clearly?" .It is not expensive, but it is worth some money, but it also seduces people's greed.

"It's hard to explain this matter clearly. The old lady has a reason to rest assured of her son." Jia She said tactfully, which prevented Mother Jia from asking any more questions.

Mr. Lai's left hand, which is invisible to others, was tightly clenched in the sleeve of Mr. Lai. Unexpectedly, the elder would admit to this. It is a pity that he missed an opportunity to bring down Lin Zhixiao.

Unwillingness flashed across his eyes, Mr. Lai didn't see Lin Zhixiao's cold eyes looking at him at all, Lin Zhixiao really didn't think that some things were really predicted by him, since someone is unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous up.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Jia She said impatiently: "Okay, this matter is over, it's getting late, let's go!" Jia She was about to get up and leave, but the matter was not over yet.

As early as when Lin Zhixiao followed Jia She to Rongxi Hall, Lin Zhixiao gave Zhou Rui a look when he met halfway, and Zhou Rui knew how to jog and walked out, directly out of the mansion.

As soon as Jia Amnesty stood up, Zhao Dan's family walked in, "Old lady, grandpa, grandma, grandma, Jin Lingjin steward sent his son Jin Wenxiang to Beijing, saying that he has something important to report to the old lady."

"That old boy isn't in Jinling guarding the house properly, what is he sending someone to Beijing for?" Jia She asked curiously, "Have someone bring him here."

The ancestral house in Jinling was inherited by the eldest family, so Jia Amnesty was not overstepping by speaking first at this time.

Soon an inconspicuous boy was ushered in, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, his manners were good, he kowtowed to everyone immediately after entering the door.

"That's enough, that's enough, get up and answer, what's the matter with your father sending you to Beijing!" Jia She asked, could it be that something happened to the Jinling ancestral house?

Jin Wenxiang didn't know the people in the room, but there were people in the room who knew him. Both Lin Zhixiao and Shulan knew him, except because they met him when they were in Jinling.It's also because Lin Zhixiao's biological mother's surname is Jin, and Shulan knows that he is the brother of Jin Yuanyang, the first girl next to Jiamu in the future.

Because he didn't know anyone, Jin Wenxiang quickly replied when Jia Amnesty asked, "Father sent me to Beijing, one is to say hello to the old ladies, grandpas, grandmas, and girls, and the other is to ask the old lady about the truth about the land next to the Jinling Sacrificial Field. They should be sold, although those lands are not sacrificial fields, they are also high-quality fertile fields, so it would be a pity to sell them."

"Hey, what place!?" Mother Jia was taken aback, she didn't understand what Jin Wenxiang said at all.

Jin Wenxiang said as a matter of course: "Before the old lady asked Director Lin to go to Jinling to buy a lot of sacrifice fields, and then she asked Director Lai to buy a lot of good land next to the sacrifice fields, or the few hundred acres to the east of the sacrifice fields. Land. Because Mr. Lai said at that time that those lands were not counted as offering sacrifices to you, the master of the clan also talked a lot of gossip.

Some time ago, someone came to Jinling to spread the word that my father was going to help me sell those fertile fields. My father saw that it was a pity to sell all the high-quality fertile fields, so he asked me to come to Beijing to ask the old lady. "

"Heh, why didn't I know about this?" Jiamu's face became more and more gloomy as she listened. "Master Lai's second son's family, you have asked Mr. Lai to go to Jinling to buy land."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang looked at each other. They did buy some land property after the family split, but this kind of thing is usually left to the confidantes of the confidants.How could Director Lai be asked to do such an important thing? They all shook their heads, "My wife never assigned Director Lai to buy any land in Jinling."

They are not stupid, even if they want to buy land, they will not buy Jinling.

The reason is simple, Jinling is the ancestral home of the Jia family, and there are many offshoots of the Jia family there, all of whom are idle playboys.If they buy land there, if it is not written in the sacrifice field of the clan, someone will gossip about it, which will not be good for their reputation.It can be written, that is the property of the whole family.

Whether it is Mrs. Zhang or Mrs. Wang, neither of them has the idea of ​​harming themselves and benefiting others.

"Old lady, this is impossible." Jin Wenxiang yelled after hearing the words, "How could there be no such thing." Then he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "Father was afraid that I would be stupid and confused, so I deliberately Go to Yingtian Mansion and ask the prefect to verify the size and location of the place."

Jia She laughed when he heard this: "That's strange, none of the masters of our family knew about it, so it could be that the second brother or Zhu'er ordered it." The Boss Lai that Jin Wenxiang said referred to Lai Da, not Lai Da. Older Lao Tzu, so Jia She said this.

Of course, everyone knows what Jia She said is absolutely ironic. Who doesn't know that Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu are both scholars and spokespersons who don't care about anything!Fortunately, Jia Zhu cared about the affairs of the house, and Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper, helped Wang Xifeng take a look at it when he was free, but Jia Zheng was really serious and ignored everything.

Said that Jia Amnesty was going to take the paper in Jin Wenxiang's hand, but he didn't expect that Mr. Lai, who was staying aside at this time, suddenly rushed up, as if he wanted to take the paper from Jin Wenxiang's hand.

Everyone was taken aback by Manager Lai's actions, but fortunately Jin Wenxiang reacted quickly and took the paper back into his arms.Zhao Dan on the side also reacted, stopped Mr. Lai, and said unkindly: "Hey, what is the chief executive doing! Is there something we don't know about?"

While talking, Zhao Dan winked at Jin Wenxiang, telling him to quickly hand over the things to Jia She or Jia Mu.He figured it out, it was Manager Lai who failed to beat someone and got beaten instead.

Although the big house has no one to rely on the family, Lin Zhixiao left the big house and he became the chief manager, but it is precisely because the big house has no one to rely on the family that the attitudes of Manager Lai and Nanny Lai towards the big house are not very good , looking for their thorns from time to time, but the old lady believes that others can't bring them down at all, so she can only bear it at ordinary times.

Zhao Dan didn't know whether it was a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.But he knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring down the Lai family, and he will naturally add fuel to the flames at this time.

"I didn't... I just wanted to take it and present it to the Elder." Manager Lai still wanted to quibble at this time, but he hadn't seen him so respectful to Jia She at ordinary times.

Lin Zhixiao blinked his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Could it be that someone has done something bad and felt guilty, and the account book of this public school has not been checked for a long time..."

In the public house, there is still a major income of the family: Zhuangzi's land and shop.

As soon as Lin Zhixiao said this, and Mr. Lai's previous actions were really suspicious, so both the eldest and the second room fell silent, and their attitude was very clear, that is, to check the public accounts.

Jia's family is divided, and now it's just to check the accounts. Jia's mother doesn't resist seeing the same attitude of the two families. Anyway, she can't find out anything about her. She has already wiped out the previous things on the accounts. up.Therefore, he said lightly, "Then let someone check it out!"

As everyone expected, there were no loopholes in the public account book, it was perfect.

But the things Jin Wenxiang took out were stamped with Ying Tianfu's seal, and they were not fake, but there was no whereabouts of these hundreds of acres of land in the public account, which made people feel strange.

Could it be that these hundreds of acres of land were flying away for no reason?

Suddenly, at this moment, Mother Li, who was beside Jiamu, said, "Old lady, I have a bad idea. Do you think someone has the audacity to buy their own private property in the name of the family?" Lai Momo on the side smiled, the smile made Lai Momo shudder.

As soon as Nanny Li said this, everyone realized that this was the case, so it all made sense.You must know that people who are slaves cannot buy houses or land. If the stewards of big families want to buy land, they will either ask their relatives and friends who are not slaves, or they will hang it directly on the master's head without telling the master.

Nanny Lai trembled and knelt down, crying: "Old lady, we are loyal to this old lady, how could we do such a wrong thing, please ask old lady to see clearly."

Jia Amnesty squinted at Mr. Lai, who was stopped by Zhao Dan, and said calmly: "Of course, this matter needs to be investigated. There are so many fertile fields missing from the account for no reason, so we can't investigate clearly!"

The market price of one mu of fertile land is four taels of silver. There are a total of 280 mu of fertile land here, and a total of one thousand and one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

As long as there is no problem with one mu of fertile land, it can basically be covered with two stones of wheat.
