The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Jia Lian promised and entered the house.Xing'er didn't leave, but followed Jia Lian into the house.

"Anything else?"

Xing'er hesitated to speak, and hesitated before opening his mouth: "Master, those seeds are all cooked, and it will take a few days after planting to find that they will not germinate. It won't take a few days to delay."

"I didn't intend to let her have no crops, but it was just a lesson. No matter how poor Zhuangzi is, she can still eat enough to survive the next year, but those tenants are miserable, and they will be hungry all winter." Teaching people It's a lesson to others, but Jia Lian will not affect the innocent.Those tenants all have sons and daughters, and they will be squeezed out in a good harvest year, and there will be a shortage of rations, not to mention the situation of no harvest.Besides, with Mrs. Wang's self-proclaimed cleverness and arrogance, she must not be able to stand being deceived. Even if the affairs of the Zhuangzi were not delayed, she would definitely not be able to swallow this breath.

Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and praised Lian Er Ye for his kindness in his heart.Those tenants were from similar backgrounds to my own, and the second master was really a good master who knew how to take care of the overall situation and know what was hot and what was cold, if he could have such worries.In the past, I was messing around with the second master, and I did all kinds of stupid things.Now that the second master is doing his job properly, Xing'er feels that his life is becoming more and more valuable, and what he does is at ease and meaningful, sincerely kind!

……

Jia Lian prepared a letter to Lin Ruhai, informing him of the situation here and the affairs of the Marquis of Pingyuan.At the end of the letter, Jia Lian remembered Jia Amnesty and raised his head to call Xing'er.

"I'm replying to Uncle Lin, do you want to ask the master if you have anything to say?"

"Hey, let's go, little one!" Xing'er turned around and ran away quickly, as if he couldn't finish his strength.

After a while, Jia She came to the door in person with his beard raised.

Jia Lian got up and asked, "Do you have something important to say?"

"Yes, of course, it's very important." Jia Amnesty wandered around Jia Lian's room with his hands behind his back, and then pretended to be deep, "Another one, it's mine alone, I say you write it. .”

Jia Lian wrote.

Jia Amnesty: "You write the polite words at the beginning, I won't say more, and then the main text: Min'er, brother is very worried about Lian'er's marriage recently, and I heard that Prince Li..."

"Father!" Jia Lian put down his pen, but he didn't expect Jia Amnesty to still think about it. He thought Jia Lian was just talking casually on the boat that day.

Jia She was so angry that he stared straight into the eyes, "What are you doing? You can write whatever I say! You unfilial son, you are willing to do such a great thing as destroying my children and grandchildren?"

"What kind of crazy are you?" Jia Lian got up to leave.

How could Jia Amnesty let Jia Lian run away? When he went up, he grabbed his hand and shouted: "Unfilial son! Today I must enforce the family law and teach you a lesson. Come, let's go to the family law!"

Everyone in the yard heard it.

Ladies, look at me and look at you. Due to the majesty of Lian's second master, they dare not move.It was only under repeated threats from Jia Amnesty that he went to fetch the bench and wooden staff.

Jia Lian quietly watched Jia She handle all this.

Jia Amnesty grabbed the stick and yelled at Jia Lian for lying on the bench.

Jia Lian sized it up, "This stick is thick enough, and it will take ten days and a half months to get it right after a few sticks."

Jia Amnesty: "That's natural, or do you think family law is just a joke?"

"It doesn't matter if you lie in bed and rest for a few days, but the fourth prince will see me in a few days, how should I go to see him then, or my father will go instead for me?" Jia Lian finished his statement calmly, and then sat on the bench calmly Come on, look at Jia Amnesty.

Jia She was in a daze, and then his expression seemed to be struck by lightning. He quickly grabbed Jia Lian and asked, "What are you talking about, have you met the Fourth Prince? Are you bluffing me!?"

"I've seen it. It's in Pingyuanhou's mansion. If you don't believe me, you can ask Pingyuanhou." Jia Lian said.

Jia Amnesty wrote back this time, holding his son's arm with great joy, "What did he ask you for? What did you say?"

Jia Lian gave a slightly exaggerated description to Jia Amnesty.In fact, there are some things that can only be understood, but for Jia She, it is better to explain it directly.

Jia She threw away the stake excitedly, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, and boasted: "As expected of my good son, very good, very good! This time our eldest son has a face, I insist on talking to the old lady. Say it."

"It's fine to let her know, but don't make it public. Please remind her not to talk about it everywhere, even to the second wife." Jia Lian immediately ordered Feng'er to bring a stack of books, "This is a new book published recently. When the master is gone, why not tell her a story by the way, if you don’t tell it for a few months, she will definitely like it very much; when you talk about me again, the old lady will definitely be even happier.”

Jia Amnesty thought about it too, asked someone to take the book, walked a few steps, then turned around and asked Jia Lian, "Aren't you going with me?"

"Of course, it's best to say this kind of thing from your mouth. It's annoying if I go to boast."

Jia She felt that it was reasonable, and left cheerfully.

After Jia Lian sent someone to deliver a letter to Yangzhou, he stopped in the courtyard for a while, and took a look at the peony seedlings.He walked to a place close to the courtyard wall, and heard soft cries, and heard two servant girls secretly discussing Mrs. Xing's embezzlement of money, even three cents of the New Year's money was deducted by the servants.

Jia Lian asked people to bring some things and went to see Mrs. Xing immediately.

Mrs. Xing ordered someone to serve good tea to Jia Lian. After asking a little about Yangzhou's affairs, she chatted with Jia Lian about her own affairs.Talking about her disappointing eldest brother and sister-in-law, she also talked about her niece Xing Xiuyan.

"My own girl didn't raise her anymore, and she was sent to me. I can't even fool myself, so I don't have time to take care of her! Also, Cong'er hasn't been under your control for the past few months, plus the New Year's Eve , play like a mud monkey."

It hasn't been long since Jia Lian came back, and he hasn't had time to ask Jia Cong about it, but thinking about it, when he greeted him yesterday, his face was indeed timid, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

"Before I left, I hired a good teacher for him and Brother Huan. Why don't these two children go to study?"

Mrs. Xing got angry when she mentioned this, put down her tea bowl and said, "Don't mention it, you asked that teacher to make your second aunt look at him, and he thought it was good, so he talked to the old lady and rewarded Baoyu." Then he said There is a difference between the concubine and the concubines, so we can't go to class together, and they said they would find us another one after the new year, but now it's almost April, and no one has come."

"Oh," Jia Lian chuckled sarcastically, "I heard that he went to school to study, so why should he hire a teacher?"

"I said the same thing, but your second aunt said that Baoyu is young and is prone to illness. It will be bad if she freezes when going out in winter. Besides, the old lady sometimes misses him and it is not convenient to see him, so Baoyu likes it." I go to school when I don’t like it, and stay at home when I don’t like it. When you came back that day, you mentioned the matter of going to school, but no one mentioned it, and I was angry when I thought about it.” Mrs. Xing said angrily.

"I see." Jia Lian's complexion darkened, she pondered for a while, and then said, "Second Wife can't do anything else, she is the best at winning people's hearts, and even the servants often praise her. So sometimes when she speaks, It is easy to get things done if there are many people who help you, this is the principle of making small profits for big profits. But Dafang is completely opposite, I have only been back for a few days and heard some rumors."

Mrs. Xing's face changed greatly: "What do you mean?"

Jia Lian: "The old lady likes an upright and generous daughter-in-law. Seeing that the second wife is about to win the hearts of the people again, how can you sit idly by and let the housekeeping power be taken away?"

"The old lady wants to take over the housekeeper?" Mrs. Xing was shocked, with her hands on her chest, with a panic expression on her face.

"My wife should put more thought into the housekeeping, and be better to the children and servants. And your niece, after all, is your blood relative. After you raise her and marry her, she will naturally treat you as a half My dear mother, I will be grateful and filial to you in the future. Why bother to embezzle everywhere like this, and end up being hated by everyone and pushed down by everyone."

Jia Lian's words were quite harsh, but for a timid and stingy person like Madam Xing, she had to be harsh in order to make her remember.

Mrs. Xing was so angry that she said, "You...you..."

Jia Lian: "My lord has a beautiful concubine, so I'm sure he doesn't care about you. If you continue to search for money, you will lose your support. May I ask what else you have when you are old? Isn't that what I mean by the end?"

"Nie Zi, you, you..." Mrs. Xing was so angry that her hands were shaking.

"Everyone knows these things in their hearts, but they just didn't say it out loud. I dare to say today that I really care about you, and at the same time, I dare to make a promise to you. As long as you perform your duties as a wife well, I will honor you here in the future. Don't fall."

When Jia Lian finished speaking, she asked Feng'er to bring up a box.After opening, there are all kinds of gold and silver rich and precious objects inside, which are good things at first sight.Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up, most of the original anger disappeared, and even a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

"Miss, think carefully." Jia Lian reminded.

As the stepmother, Mrs. Xing has no children, and her natal family can't be relied on, so it's normal to feel insecure.Now Jia Lian wants to give her this sense of security, but if Mrs. Xing doesn't live up to her expectations this time, Jia Lian will definitely not meddle in her own business in the future and let her fend for herself.

"Ma'am, you only have one chance, just don't play around with others." Jia Lian warned Mrs. Xing in a very solemn tone.He is not a god, and he doesn't have that much thought to worry about other people's affairs.

Mrs. Xing gave Jia Lian an annoyed look. She didn't like Jia Lian's poisonous words, but what he said was the truth.Mrs. Xing finally nodded in agreement.

When Jia Lian went out, two young servants rushed to him in a hurry.

One was sent by Jia's mother, asking Jia Lian to go to see her immediately.It's a good guess, it must be Jia She who told about the fourth prince, which made Jia's mother want to see him.The second one was sent by Mrs. Wang, and Jia Lian was also asked to go see her immediately.Jia Lian counted the days, and it was six or seven days before the rice was planted. Mrs. Wang probably wanted to settle the score with him when she learned that the rice had not germinated.

Xing'er asked Jia Lian in embarrassment, "Master, where are you going?"
