[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

34,

As soon as Mrs. Wang left here, Zhou Rui's family saw Jia Mu's gloomy face, and immediately cried bitterly: "Old lady, it was all ordered by the second wife, I was wronged!"

Mother Jia looked at her, thinking that she was originally Mrs. Wang's dowry, and now there is only one of the four dowry girls left who is so worthless.

Those of Zhou Rui's family were still lying on the ground and crying, with snot and tears running down their faces as they talked, it was extremely ugly.Mother Jia looked a little disgusted, touched the white jade ring on her hand and said, "Based on this, I can send you to the Yamen right away. I'm afraid you won't survive for three days when you arrive at the Yamen."

Hearing this, Zhou Rui's family stopped immediately, looked at Jia's mother eagerly, and said, "As long as the old lady doesn't sue the officials, I'm willing to do anything."

Mother Jia let Mrs. Wang grow up slowly in the mansion for so many years, and she has regretted it for a long time. This Zhou Rui's family is her confidant, how could Mother Jia let it go, but it is still useful to keep her now, and she is frightened by her appearance. Mother Jia said proudly, "If there is anything the second wife needs in the future, you can come and let me know right away."

Zhou Rui's family agreed obediently, seeing her like this, Jia's mother just looked down on her, thinking that this Zhou Rui's family was really disgusting, and when she was pulled out, Zhou Rui's family could not keep this week.

At this time, Mother Jia looked at Zhou Rui's family's obedient look, and she was satisfied immediately, thinking that if she was allowed to go back like this, Mrs. Wang would definitely be suspicious, so she asked the rough envoy outside the house to beat Zhou Rui's family twenty boards .

Although it was pretending that he didn't exert any strength, Zhou Rui's family really passed out because of their age.

Only in the evening, Mrs. Wang came to see Zhou Rui's house with a change of clothes and some wound medicine.Although Zhou Rui's family got married this week, they still sleep in the servant's room behind Mrs. Wang's house on weekdays, so that the master can serve at any time when there is something to do.

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the room, she saw Zhou Rui's family lying on the bed and gasping for breath.Even if Mrs. Wang asked Yuchuan to apply medicine to Zhou Rui's family, it was simply a skin trauma, and it would be better after a few days.

Zhou Rui's family knew that they looked ugly, so they said: "Madam, please sit in the outer room. I look so ugly, and my wife is embarrassed."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and said to Yu Chuan, "Just wait outside after the medicine is administered."

Yu Chuan nodded when he heard this, carefully covered Zhou Rui's family with the quilt, and retreated.

Mrs. Wang moved a stool and sat next to Zhou Rui's house. Seeing that her face was pale and she was still sweating, Dang even took out a handkerchief to help Zhou Rui's family wipe the sweat and said: "You have suffered, I couldn't keep you .”

Zhou Rui's family was extremely moved when they saw Mrs. Wang like this, and choked up and said: "Madam, I can't blame you for this matter, it's all the fault of that girl Lin and the old lady who are cruel."

Mrs. Wang helped Zhou Rui's family to press the quilt, and said, "What did the old lady tell you?"

Zhou Rui's family told about Jia Mu threatening him and buying him, and took out a jade ring and said: "The old lady also gave me this thing."

Mrs. Wang looked at the jade ring, it was a rarity. Thinking about it, the old lady was willing to spend money to overthrow her, but the old lady was really confused. This week, Rui's family was her own companion, and she was the son of the Wang family. Well, where is it that Mrs. Jia can be bribed with a few threats.

Here Madam Wang comforted Zhou Rui's family with a few more words, then got up and went back.

Speaking of which, Zhou Rui's family has indeed done a lot of things for Mrs. Wang in the past few years. Although it shows that they have been greedy for a lot of money secretly, they are really loyal to Mrs. Wang. Not so loyal, but Zhou Rui's family is a servant of the Wang family, and his parents, brothers and sisters all work in the Wang family. What's more, the son of Zhou Rui's family was kicked out of the mansion by Sister Feng for committing crimes a few years ago. Jia Mu, but was blocked by Jia Mu's words.

Others have forgotten about this matter, how could Zhou Rui's family forget, not to mention that his man usually manages the affairs of the tenants of Jia's mansion, there is a lot of oil and water in it, Madam Wang watched Zhou Rui's family greedy for money and money. On the one hand, he is grateful to Mrs. Wang, and on the other hand, he also knows that Mrs. Wang has evidence that her family is corrupt to tenants.

Compared with the evidence in Jia's mother's hands, Mrs. Wang really has Zhou Rui's family in her hands.

It is said that Wang Xifeng heard the letter and learned that Mrs. Wang was scolded, but she didn't know why. She only vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Lin Daiyu who lived in Nanyuan.

It's just that this is a good thing for Wang Xifeng, and it's nothing to worry about. Although Jia's mother wants to read the account book by herself, Wang Xifeng knows that Jia's mother is old, so she must not be able to check it carefully, and must make up her own mind.Furthermore, Sister Feng has been in charge of the family for several years. Although she is very powerful, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the second wife is actually in charge.

Although Sister Feng flattered Mrs. Wang openly, she had long thought that she could truly be the master of the house. Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally felt at ease.

It's just that the money lent a few days ago hasn't been recovered yet, so I have to ask Laiwang's daughter-in-law to get the money back quickly, and I have to lose a few days of interest money to get through.

Wang Xifeng guessed right, as soon as he brought back the usury, he heard that Mother Jia had sent a mandarin duck over to check the accounts.

Wang Xifeng felt that the accounts were not bad, so she took Ping'er with the account book and went to Jia Mu's side. Yuanyang wanted to remind her, but seeing Wang Xifeng's high-spirited appearance, she just kept her words in her heart.

Seeing Wang Xifeng coming, Jia's mother asked Yuanyang to ask her to sit down, and picked up the account book to check. The account book that Jia's mother took happened to be the account book that the tenants of Jia's mansion handed over to the renters every year.

Jia's mother is old, but she is still not old-fashioned. Seeing that the rented land, which had a bumper harvest every year when she was in charge of the family, began to reduce production several years ago, those ordinary fields have long been unable to make ends meet, and even borrow money to buy seeds every year.After reading a few pages, Mother Jia threw the account book on Sister Feng's face angrily, pointed at Sister Feng and said, "That's how you are in charge."

Although Wang Xifeng said that she was giving us loan sharks, she always made some profit intentionally or unintentionally, but the tenant really wronged her. Although Wang Xifeng recognized that this account book was a tenant account book, she couldn't read a few characters at all. , Kneeling down in front of Mother Jia, she said with red eyes: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law really doesn't know about this!"

Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Jia's mother asked the mandarin duck beside her to help her up, and asked, "This account book is like this in your hands!?"

After weighing the words, Sister Feng raised her head and said, "It's been like this since I was in charge of the family."

Mother Jia closed her eyes and did not speak, but in her heart she wished to call Mrs. Wang to ask her a question.But thinking of the empress and Baoyu in the palace, Mother Jia still held back. Even if she didn't give the empress Baoyu face, Mrs. Wang has cultivated a large number of cronies in the mansion in the past few years. Move out Prince to vacate.

Now among the four major families, only the Wang family can still speak in the court, and Prince Teng can be regarded as an important minister of the emperor, and Jia Mu has to weigh Mrs. Wang's backing.Pulling out Mrs. Wang's minions can only be done slowly, and Mother Jia has the patience to do it.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng in front of her is still too tender, Jia Mu looked at this Wang Xifeng who looked smart but was actually confused, seeing that she couldn't even win over her own man, she knew that although she was smart, her vision was too short.

Jia Mu said, "Tell me about the expenses in the mansion over the years."

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Mu's face was not looking very good, so she picked out nice things to say one by one.After talking here, he looked at Jiamu's expression again, and seeing that Jiamu was silent, he stood aside and waited.

After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Mother Jia really regretted letting Mrs. Wang grow up in the first place. Although Mother Jia has not been in charge of the family for many years, she still knows that Jia's mansion is indeed not as good as every year. It may be difficult for Jia's mansion to maintain in the past few years.

Originally wanted to hear the truth, but seeing that Wang Xifeng was still trying to whitewash the peace, she actually picked up good things to say.

Mother Jia took a sip of tea, sighed and looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Brother Feng, you have been in charge of the house for several years, and you must be aware of the situation in the house. I asked you to come here because I want to listen to the truth."

When Sister Feng heard this, her face turned red immediately, she lowered her head and said: "The mansion has indeed been unable to make ends meet these years, and the money in various yards cannot be saved. Mother-in-law, although the monthly allowances for girls and mother-in-law are small, they add up to a lot of money."

While listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia's mother flipped through the ledger and saw that it was full of loopholes.Wang Xifeng thought that Jia's mother knew about it, and she was just putting the fault on Mrs. Wang.Although the two are aunts and nephews, Wang Xifeng naturally ignored the relationship between aunts and nephews once interests were involved.

Looking at the accounts, Jia Mu sees how many large sums of money are allocated every month, all of whom are handled by Jia Lian, pointing to this place and asking, "What's the matter?"

Wang Xifeng knew it even without looking, and immediately replied: "These are the expenses of the father-in-law in the palace."

Jia's mother was taken aback for a moment. Jia's mother also knew about these arrangements, but how could there be so many? Looking at Sister Feng like this, she wondered if Jia Lian was greedy.Seeing Jia Mu's inquisitive eyes, Sister Feng said immediately: "Old lady Mingjian, my family will definitely not dare to think about this money. These eunuchs come to fight the autumn wind every two days. Today they want to buy a yard, and tomorrow they want to buy a bottle. It’s called borrowing in name, but in fact it’s not about borrowing or repaying.”

With a slap, Mother Jia slapped the ledger on the table to scare Wang Xifeng. Mother Jia looked at Wang Xifeng and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

Wang Xifeng immediately said: "Before the second wife said it was a trivial matter, but it was just for the sake of the empress in the palace, so there is no need to publicize it." Sister Feng lowered her head as she spoke.

Mother Jia was so angry at Mrs. Wang before, but she was actually just trying to take back her rights.Although there is three points of anger, it is more joy to catch Mrs. Wang's pigtail.Now after hearing Wang Xifeng's words, I really became angry, not for anything else, but because these eunuchs dared to fight Qiufeng blatantly, this is bullying no one in Jia's mansion.
