The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

"It's really screaming." Jia Lian laughed, lazily resting her chin on the back of her right hand, and looked at Jia Amnesty jokingly.

Jia Amnesty blushed, realizing that he had been tricked by Jia Lian again, he almost bit his teeth to bleed from hatred.

"Jia, Lian!"

Jia Lian put the letter on the table.

Jia She was ashamed, but when he saw the letter, he acted like crazy, snatched it up hastily, opened it to see, but it was a blank piece of paper, a blank piece of paper...

Jia She was furious, and slowly turned his head to stare at Jia Lian, his eyes bursting red.

Jia Lian's original meaning of this letter was to let Jia She think that he had reliable news.But when he took out the letter, Jia Lian found that Jia Amnesty cared a lot, even if he cheated lightly, he was so scared that he even called his father, which was not in line with his former rascal nature.So there is only one possibility, that Jia Amnesty not only did something scandalous, but was so stupid that he fell into someone else's hands. It was very likely that it was a letter, such as a letter written by him himself.

"I will beat you to death today. If you dare to fool me and threaten you, I will beat you to death!" Jia She was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit Jia Lian on the head.

"The handle is the letter? Is it in the hands of Sun Shaozu or that woman? You are miserable." Jia Lian sneered.

Jia Amnesty's raised arm was stiff in the air, and he looked at Jia Lian with a complicated expression, feeling ashamed and ashamed, hated and angry.

"You, what do you mean?" Jia She babbled.

"Because I just asked someone to take care of him." Jia Lian said.

"Do, get him done?" Jia She's eyes widened, "No way, no way, that letter is still in his mother's hands..."

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows: "Oh, it turned out to be in the hands of that woman. You can really think about it. The family is surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and there are many beautiful maids. You still think about the outside world."

"That was how many years ago, when your mother just left, I..." Just as Jia Amnesty was about to explain, he saw Jia Lian's eyes as cold as falling into hell, and shuddered.How could he have forgotten that it was Jia Lian's mother's filial piety when the incident happened, and the child must have hated him even more when he heard this.

Jia Amnesty lowered his head, shyly feeling ashamed.If he had known today, he would have had to control that thing in the first place. The consequences of impulsiveness were too terrible.

At this point, Jia Lian combined the information he had inquired, and after a little deliberation, he could almost understand the general situation of the matter.

The relationship between the Rong Mansion and the Sun family was very good when they were in the ancestors, but the Sun family fell early, and only a few people left in the long family line were the widow mother and Sun Shaozu.The Sun family was in a difficult situation, so they sent someone to Rong Mansion for help.At that time, it should have been sent directly to Jia She. Jia She had just lost his wife not long ago, and he had long coveted the beauty of the widow of the Sun family. classes are also quite possible.

Jia Amnesty really had the guts to do such a bastard thing that risked the dissatisfaction of the world!

"A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than stealing" These two words were indeed confirmed by Jia She and his son, and together with Jia Lian, he did so many adulterous affairs with other wives, all of which were done by his father!

Jia Lian was a little scared when he raised his forehead. Fortunately, he dressed early.

Jia Amnesty is completely ashamed to see his son now, and he probably won't be ashamed in the future.He nodded embarrassingly, coughing embarrassingly because of nervousness, "Since the matter has come to this point, we have to find a way to solve it. You are now the servant of the household department appointed by the imperial court. If there is such a scandal, I will let you know." Shame is not."

"So what? You want to solve it in your own way? Help him get rich, and then marry his daughter to him, so as to completely silence the Sun family?" Jia Lian asked coldly.

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"What a fart! You really don't deserve to be a father!" Jia Lian suddenly slapped the table and cursed.

Jia Amnesty was taken aback, he had never seen Jia Lian lose such a temper.He was astonished like a wounded puppy, blinking his eyes and looking at Jia Lian pitifully, not daring to say a word.

Jia Lian: "Do you think Sun Shaozu doesn't know about this matter? Even if he doesn't know, he should be like me, able to guess all kinds of things in his heart. This is a scandal in his family. Of course he can't say it, but it's hard to guarantee. He doesn't hold grudges in his heart. Do you think that if you help him now, treat him well, and promote him to be his son-in-law, he will be able to thank you like a father? I'm afraid that at that time, all the hatred will be spread on your daughter. Poor Yingchun is only so old, and I have to bear the mistakes for you. Be a good and innocent daughter, she provoked you! Don’t say that you raised her as his father. For so many years, you can do your best to her Father's responsibility? Did you say a word about him?"

Jia Amnesty frowned and covered his face with his arms, even if he had something to say, he didn't dare to say it, not to mention that Jia Lian scolded him and made his mind blank.Why, why did his handle fall into Jia Lian's hands!

"The widowed mother of the Sun family is still in Beijing. You must find a way to get back your messy things. This matter cannot be delayed, so let me do it immediately!" Jia Lian said sharply.

Jia She held her breath and complained: "You think I don't want to, but with that thing in her hand, I can still run to her room to look for it! It's agreed, as long as I can get her son from Fujian When I come back, I will do the whole thing, and she will never threaten me again."

"Do you believe this kind of thing?" Jia Lian really should light a candle for Jia She's IQ. He looked carefully at Jia She's expression, and there was actually a bit of shyness amidst the shame.Jia Lian woke up suddenly, and stared at Jia She in surprise, "Don't tell me, you still have an 'old relationship' with her now?"

Jia She's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head, "There are some things you may not have heard about, but she and I have known each other since we were young, so we are very destined, there is some affection..."

It turned out to be first love.

Jia Lian sneered: "Fate!? Heh, since you are so affectionate, I'll just let you go."

Jia Amnesty shook his head, "How is this possible, it's impossible."

"When she dies, you die too. If you are buried together in the ground, you will be together forever! If you are still worried, tie them together with hemp rope so that you can't separate them." Jia Lian's words came out of his mouth, With a strong sense of threat.

Jia Amnesty's face turned from red to black, and finally turned pale. He stumbled for a long time and was speechless.

Jia Lian wanted to order people to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and asked Jia She to make a list of all the "tokens" in the hands of the widowed mother of the Sun family.

Jia She hurriedly said: "There is nothing else, just a love poem and a jade pendant."

"Are you sure it's gone? What about the subsequent correspondence?" Jia Lian asked.

Jia Amnesty answered honestly, "Your father is not stupid, and after that, he learned to be a little smarter. It's all called word of mouth."

"Who?" Jia Lian then asked.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Lian, and reluctantly announced his name: "It's everyone's fault."

Jia Lian raised his chin, thought for a moment, sent Jia Amnesty away, and then called Lai to come over.

Seeing Second Master Lian's face full of anger, Lai everyone's heart hangs, but relying on his status as an old man in the Rong Mansion, he is not afraid of anything, so he showed a sly smile, saluted and asked, "Second Master Lian, what do you have?" Just order the small ones."

"You must be familiar with the road of the Sun family, so I called you here." Jia Lian said.

Hearing everyone's words, Lai's heart skipped a beat, his eyes rolled wildly, and his tone trembled, "Grandpa... Grandpa... Slaves..."

"Go and tell that person that if she wants her son to live, she will hand over the things. If she refuses, she can make a living if she wants to. At worst, she will be a widow from a poor family and a Rongfu who has just won the favor. Do it right, it's fun. Just learn what I say to her, and tell her to think about the time for a long time, and don't wait when it's over." After Jia She gave orders to everyone, Xing'er called him, and ordered him to send a message to invite Jiang Zining.

At the end of the month, Jiang Zining came with twenty or so good servants.

"Brother Lian, you finally think of me. I heard that you have been promoted to the servant of the household department. I am so happy for you. The old man and I have specially prepared a jade carved Bodhisattva gift for you. Can you see it?" Jiang Zining said, Let the subordinates present the gift box.

Jia Lian thanked him, and hastily asked someone to take it away, then dragged Jiang Zining to a secluded back room to talk, "I need your help with something."

"I just heard from Xing'er that you asked me to bring ten people here. I reckoned that there was something wrong, so I specially picked twenty or so servants with the best kung fu."

Jia Lian heard that the number of people was twice what he requested, so he patted Jiang Zining on the shoulder happily, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Zining's eyes lit up when he heard it, and without asking why, he patted his chest directly to express his promise to complete the task.

Xing'er had prepared some coarse clothes in the courtyard for a long time.Jiang Zining ordered all the servants to put on clothes, and when they arrived at the back gate of the Rong Mansion, they had three carts ready and set off together.

A group of people arrived at the main street behind the front door of Sun's house, unloaded things from the car, followed five steps at a time, disguised themselves as street vendors, and surrounded the Sun's house tightly.Jiang Zining remembered that Jia Lian had also explained that 'the more oppressive the better', he called ten other people and waited at a nearby teahouse. Anyway, he was watching while drinking tea. When he saw a woman coming out of the Sun's courtyard, Follow immediately, and follow closely, until you are noticed.

The mother-in-law was holding the basket, and after buying two vegetables and a pack of snacks, she felt that something was wrong behind her, she turned her head from time to time, and quickened her pace.After realizing that she was being followed, the mother-in-law was terrified, and hurried back home to report the situation to the mistress.

The widowed mother of the Sun family, Qian Shi, had just sent away the messenger from the Rong Mansion with a dark face, when she heard the servant say such words, she stood up in shock and her face turned pale.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Qian told the woman to go out and have a look.

After a while, the old woman came in with a pale face and sweat, her legs were a little weak, she sat down on the ground, and said to Qian: "It's terrible, when I came back, I felt that there was something wrong around the house. Well, when I went out just now, many eyes were staring at me. It was scary, there were so many vendors at our door, and there were none this morning. It’s so strange, how come so many people stared at us so well! Well, I see that the clothes they wear are quite rough, but the shoes are of good material, not for ordinary people who do dirty work."

Qian's heart stopped beating suddenly, and she was almost unsteady in fright, thinking: "I thought he was threatening me, but I didn't expect that he was determined to break with me, maybe I can't save him this time." Shaozu, even his own life is involved."

"Ma'am, shall we report to the police?" the mother-in-law asked in fear.

Qian stared at her mother-in-law and muttered in fear: "How do you report to the government? You also said that they just set up a stall outside and didn't do anything outrageous. How do you want the government to take care of it? But you know, report blindly." The judge will also go to jail."

Thinking about what Lai everyone said before, Mrs. Qian realized that "the time limit is half a day" meant that, and she was so frightened that she was supported by her mother-in-law and sat down on the stool, thinking about all the ways out.If it is reported to the official, the best situation is that both sides will suffer, and the one who suffers the most damage to his reputation is himself, and he may even be scolded by his clansmen.She is such a shameful widow, she is not a pity to die, I am afraid that her good son Shaozu will be overwhelmed with embarrassment, and will never recognize her as his mother again.On the other side of Rongfu, the family has a big business, and the new servant of the household department will definitely try his best to cover up this matter, and it will be a good result to hurt Rongfu's reputation in the end.After all the calculations, I still lost the most, and if the Rongfu got into a hurry and slapped her son who was far away in Fujian, I would really regret it.

The palms of Qian's clutching the handkerchief were covered with cold sweat. After struggling for a long time, she finally made up her mind and ordered her mother-in-law to go to Rongfu and call everyone Lai.

The mother-in-law walked for a while, then turned back quickly.

Qian asked with a pale face: "But those people outside stopped you?"

"That's not true. I ran into everyone Lai as soon as I went out. What a coincidence, she seemed to know that I would look for her, so she came here on her own initiative." The woman wondered.

Qian was even more astonished. She never expected that the other party would take all of this into account. Fortunately, fortunately, she wisely chose to submit, otherwise it would definitely end in a very miserable end.

Seeing Mr. Lai, Mrs. Qian lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, and she didn't dare to make any more demands. She just cried and cried: "I don't have anything else to ask for. I just hope that the master can remember the old love, so that my son can suffer less." Bitter. Everything is here, I will return it all, and I hope the master will remember the old love."

Lai everyone laughed and perfunctory, took the things and left the house.Originally, I planned to go back and find a secluded place to see how powerful the contents of the letter were.Never thought that as soon as she left the Sun's house, Xing'er would rush out suddenly and snatch the things in her hand.

"Damn, what are you doing?"

Xing'er smiled: "Second Master ordered." After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone, turned around and left.

Everyone Lai was so angry that he stomped his feet, only regretting that he had missed a good opportunity to find out about his master.However, she knows the matter of Master She and the Sun family best, and the position of the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion and their husband and wife will surely sit securely in the future.

After Jia Lian got the letter and asked Jia Amnesty to confirm the handwriting, he immediately broke the jade pendant and burned the letter.

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to look into his son's eyes, and lowered his head to hide.

Jia Lian squinted at him, her tone was mild, cold, and even warning, "This is the only time for this kind of thing!"

Jia Lian has already thought about the details, if Jia Amnesty commits another crime, don't blame his 'son' for being too filial.He must be sent to the Zhuangzi where he can't escape even if he doesn't shit. Then he will be invited to give him medicine every day, and he will be cured of his old problems.

"Of course this time, you think I want to have a second time." Jia Amnesty still covered his face with his arms.

"You are not allowed to make decisions about the second sister's marriage," Jia Lian said.

Jia Amnesty was unconvinced: "What do you mean? If you don't let go of me, I'll—"

Jia Lian glanced over, and in Jia She's eyes, it was a sinister gaze with a strong sense of threat.Forget it, the situation is sensitive now, so don't be stubborn.

"All right, all right, hurry up and go." Jia She said helplessly, when Jia Lian walked to the door, Jia She suddenly remembered and asked, "How about you go to the palace to thank you this morning?"

"The Minister of the Household Department was transferred, and the emperor asked me to temporarily take charge of the important affairs of the Household Department, but I declined." Jia Lian said.

Jia Amnesty stared at Jia Lian, "You, are you stupid?"

Jia Lian turned her head and gave him a white look, "I'm not stupid, so I refused." After that, he left with his hands behind his back, leaving only a breeze for Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty moved his eyeballs and thought hard with his clever head, but he couldn't figure out why Jia Lian refused.He refused to accept it, and raised his foot to talk to Jia Mu, but then he thought that he still had something in his son's hands. During this period of time, he should get up and be honest, and wait for the limelight to come over.

Jia Lian just went to the Ministry of Households to report a report today, and he officially took up his post three days later.The household department is divided into 32 Caos, each of whom is in charge of several servants.Jia Lian is only in charge of agriculture and food, and he is most interested in this.During the audience meeting this morning, after declining the emperor's so-called interim position as minister, he took the initiative to ask the emperor for what he was good at, and the emperor was very satisfied with his self-knowledge.

Jia Lian just entered the officialdom, relying on the settlement of the military rations and leaping up. Although he had some reputation among the people in teaching agricultural techniques, he was still too young for the veterans who had been in the officialdom for many years.If he goes this way, he will take the position of Minister of the Household Department, not to mention that he himself thinks that he can't do a good job, even the emperor who mentioned this also thinks that he can't do a good job.Moreover, the reason why the emperor mentioned these things was to test him, and it was not sincere at all.If the emperor really wanted him to be a minister, he would have just issued a decree to seal him at the beginning, and there was no need to mention it later.

In fact, through this incident, the attitude of the emperor can be seen to some extent.It stands to reason that the letter of commendation from the fourth prince had already arrived in the hands of the emperor, but the emperor took so long to issue an order, which was clearly a prudent decision.It's not because Jia Lian is not qualified. Since ancient times, many people who have made military exploits have been conferred marquises and titles.The reason why the emperor hesitated was because he was afraid of the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes". With the presence of the Supreme Emperor, it was difficult for him to sort it out all at once, but his heart was irritated.Don't bother anyone, because so many moths are raised.It's like a piece of land is infested with diseases and insect pests. If you don't spray pesticides to kill the insects, the field will be destroyed.

Therefore, Jia Lian understands the emperor's cautious heart, and it is not a small hurdle for the emperor to regain his trust in the Rongfu. Fortunately, he has passed the emperor's test. At least in the eyes of the emperor, he should not be an insatiable playboy.

Of course, Jia Lian didn't just think about these analyzes in his heart. When he came back to visit Jia Mu, he told Jia Mu in detail.Give Jia Mu a blow, and remind her that the Rong Mansion is not as good as it used to be, and has been listed by the emperor as a target to be eradicated.

Jia Lian is now working in front of the emperor, so the news he brought is beyond doubt.Mother Jia was so frightened that she raised her head and said to Jia Lian, "You are the most sensible in this family. In order to preserve the inheritance left by our ancestors, we will listen to you."

Jia Lian was very satisfied with Jia Mu's words, and nodded: "If the ancestors trust me, I deserve it, and I will do good for this family. It's just that when you manage it, you will always offend others and hurt the interests of individual people. When the time comes, you will be troubled by favors." In front of you, you are the most kind and soft-hearted, I'm afraid—"

"No matter what kind of fairy she came from, it won't work in front of me. Don't worry, for the sake of our Rongfu's future generations to be safe and sound, my old lady is willing to lose this old face." Jia Mu laughed happily. road.

What Jia Lian wanted was these two words from Jia Mu, and he smiled and nodded in agreement, not to mention any more.At this time, someone shouted "Second Master Bao is here".

Then, I heard Baoyu's anxious voice from outside: "My dear sister, why are you talking so fast? I heard that Lian's second brother is inside. How can this be good..."

After a while, Baoyu came in again, with a frightened and wretched look on his face. After saluting Jia Mu, he also saluted Jia Lian to congratulate him on his promotion.

Jia Lian looked at Baoyu now. He was a little taller, with a round face, white and fat, and when he smiled, the pouty flesh on both sides of his face disappeared.It's been a long time since we saw each other, why is this kid so fat?Originally a pair of peach-blossom eyes, but now they are fat and have become red phoenix eyes, Ruo's face now looks like a big white flour pancake.

Jia Lian thought it was very pleasant, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing him laughing, Baoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically.

"Now you go to school obediently?" Jia Lian asked.

"Come on, I study hard every day." Baoyu quickly responded.He was afraid that Jia Lian would misunderstand and try to deal with him in some other way.

"Come, come, come to me." Mother Jia called Baoyu over joyfully, pinched Baoyu's face, and ordered Yuanyang to bring over the rock candy lotus root she had left earlier.

Baoyu couldn't stop talking when he saw sweets, so after letting Jia Mu and Jia Lian sit on the side with something, he began to eat.

"After you became an official yesterday, many relatives and friends sent messages to ask if you want to hold a banquet to congratulate you. I said naturally, and I have to invite a good day and have a good time." Jia Mu He said to Jia Lian with a smile.

"It can't be done, you forgot what you just said so quickly?" Jia Lian reminded.

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and with an unhappy expression on her face, she thought about it and nodded.

"That's all, I'll listen to you. But such a big happy event, if you don't celebrate it, it would be unlucky. How about only your relatives?"

"There must be a rule, only relatives surnamed Jia are allowed, and no one else is allowed no matter what relationship they have. Just invite a troupe to be lively and lively, don't waste it extravagantly." Jia Lian continued.

Then Jia Mu laughed, nodded in agreement, and ordered someone to inform Dongfu.

……

Let's talk about Mrs. Wang, after meeting the eunuch who helped Yuanchun spread the word that day, she has been busy collecting money at home.She has no way to search for the public money, so she can only use her own dowry.My own sister, Aunt Xue, was even more ruthless. I wrote so many letters, but there was no news so far.

Mrs. Wang was still thinking about the potted seedlings she got from Jia Lian. It's almost summer, but there is still no change in these seedlings.Moreover, Mrs. Wang also discovered the fact that the pole becomes a bit soft when watered too much.Three of them seemed to be unable to withstand the waterlogging, and had broken off from the root disease.Mrs. Wang was so distressed that she didn't dare to water the remaining six.He even specially spent a lot of money to invite an expert to come over to see what kind it is and how to serve it.

This person was invited by Zhou Rui's family, and he was not a great expert, but a farmer who was related to Zhou Rui.Zhou Rui felt that everyone could understand the matter of looking at the crops, and he embezzled half of it, and the other half was given to his relative Zhou Lin without letting the fat and water go to outsiders' fields.

Zhou Lin is only in her 40s, but she is a young man with gray hair. She has a white goatee and her temples are already pale. At first glance, she really looks like a rosy-faced, young-looking old man with a bit of vigor.

Mrs. Wang sat on the screen and secretly glanced at Zhou Lin through the gap, quite satisfied.

Zhou Lin twitched her beard and looked at it for a long time. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the rice stalks growing in this pot were harvested.But he wasn't too sure, the second wife of the Rong Mansion was not a fool, her precious things should be something not vulgar, how could it be what he thought were straws!

"Dare to ask Madam, where did these six seedlings come from? This thing is so novel. The old man has a few guesses in his mind, but if Madam doesn't tell the source, it's hard to guess which one it is."

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, then turned to ask Zhou Rui's family if this person was reliable, and seeing Zhou Rui's family nodded, she turned away the irrelevant people and said: "My nephew Lian'er got it here, he is very precious, you can get it yourself I put it in a house and took care of it myself.”

When Zhou Lin heard the name of the second master Lian, she was in awe.In the eyes of their peasants, this master is like a saint, and his reputation is very good. His treasure must be a good thing, and it is absolutely impossible to be a straw!

Zhou Lin stroked her beard, nodded, and sighed pretendingly: "Good thing, good thing, these pots of seedlings are absolutely rare, and the second master Lian used this to honor you, but it's a good fortune for my wife."

"Then what is the name of this object?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Zhou Lin turned her eyes and thought about something casually, "Madam has raised it for so long, it doesn't grow well, and it's afraid of water. It must be Huang Xian'er. The name of this thing is mentioned in the book left by my ancestors. As for what else? I don’t know the name.” Zhou Lin was afraid that Mrs. Wang would blame him for the wrong name she knew afterwards, so she paved the way.

Mrs. Wang asked the use of this thing again.

Zhou Lin made nonsense about the effect of nourishing the body. In short, it is similar to ginseng, and she also tricked Mrs. Wang to wait for this thing to bloom and bear fruit before eating it.Since Mrs. Wang has been raising it for so long, this thing doesn't grow long, Zhou Lin thinks it's rare to have fruit, so she is so foolish.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard the words, and rewarded Zhou Lin with some money to pay more attention to these pots of things.

On this day, Mrs. Wang wanted to ask the eunuch to help bring money into the palace, so she specially picked two pots of strong ones and asked the eunuch to help them bring them in.

Since Jia Lian was able to win the Queen Mother's joy and appreciation with two pots of new-style peonies, she would create such an opportunity for Yuan Chun as well.
