No matter how much Jia's mother listened to her own words and believed them, Jia Zheng would pull the Rongguo Mansion away from the prince's camp.A group of gentlemen and not a party, Jia Zheng has already been labeled as four kings and eight princes, if he puts the stamp of □□□, he still wants everyone to praise him?Just wait for the crown prince to become the loyal prince of Xianyi and everyone will shout and beat him.

Because it was the filial piety period, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang lived in separate rooms.It's just that it's only one month away from filial piety, so it's easy to cover up even if someone dies.As far as Jia Zheng knew, his elder brother had long since regained his hobby of holding a concubine, so now he was walking towards the main room where Mrs. Wang lived, and the servants in the yard thought it was normal.

Just halfway there, Jia Zheng turned and left again.The servants in the yard looked at each other, wondering if they should sympathize with the person who had just informed Mrs. Wang.After receiving the report from the second person, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Go and see where the master has rested."

Xiuju looked at Mrs. Wang, and answered "Yes" in a low voice.It's a pity that Mrs. Wang didn't give her this chance, she pointed to Liu Yun beside her and said, "You go. By the way, let's see if Zhu'er and Yuan Chun have had dinner well, have you rested yet?"

In fact, it is not as complicated as everyone thinks. Jia Zheng originally wanted to ask Mrs. Wang what he told her to do, but whether it was finished.I just walked halfway, feeling that I gave someone a three-day period, and today is only half a day, so I'm afraid there will be no results.He was not interested in saying anything else to Mrs. Wang, so he might as well go and see if Jia Zhu took a rest earlier today as he said.

For Jia Zhu, who is probably his only son, Jia Zheng still attaches great importance to it, but the health card in his storage rack is one less, which can reverse Jia Zhu's daily routine and slowly lead him to a new life. If he is open-minded, don't waste his precious health card.

Entering Jia Zhu's yard, he found that the light in the room was still on. Jia Zheng asked the old woman guarding the gate, "Pearl still asleep?"

The old woman said with a smile: "My brother has been working hard, and it takes half an hour to go to bed."

Jia Zheng's face had darkened, and he was angry that what he said in the morning was not carried out.What was even more angry was the attitude of these servants, who made Jia Zhu stay up all night so nicely, could it be that they were thinking of getting a reward?

He really thought it right. In the impression of the people at home, no matter if it is the old lady or the wife sent someone to ask, as long as Jia Zhu is studying hard, getting up early and going to bed late, the kitchen will deliver soup, snacks, and more in a short while. There are bounties for people like them.The master doesn't ask too many questions, but don't all parents have the same attitude towards their children?Maybe it's because the master asked few questions, so he gave more rewards this time if he was happy?

Who knew that the old man would actually scold people: "Stupid thing, my brother is in good shape. I just want you to work hard on the left and the right, and it will be spoiled." go.

At this time, Jia Zhu had already gone to wear a coat, and was reading a book in his middle coat.The original pale face, against the backdrop of the white coat, was even less bloodless.Fearing that he would be frightened, Jia Zheng waved at the girl who wanted to report, and walked slowly in front of Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu realized that someone had entered the room, and when she raised her eyes, she realized that it was the master who had never been here before. Her thin body trembled slightly: "Master."

Jia Zheng took the book out of his hand and looked at the cover.As a good boy, Jia Zhu will naturally not secretly read some chapters like Jia Baoyu in the original work, but "The Analects of Confucius".Gently placing the book on the table, Jia Zheng asked, "Didn't I let you go to bed early in the morning? Why don't you go to bed at this hour?"

Jia Zhu murmured, "I go to bed at the beginning of every day, and I can't fall asleep at this time, so why not read a book."

Jia Zheng shook his head: "You are growing up, sleep more, and wake up early to be energetic. If you sleep too late, you will not have enough energy for the day, and your mind will be groggy, and you can't read books. Isn't it true? The gain outweighs the loss? Just think about it, is there more time in the daytime, or a longer time at night? Even if you can’t sleep, it’s good to play for a while.”

Jia Zhu had never thought about the problem from this angle, and when asked by Jia Zheng, she also felt that she might be really wrong, so she lowered her head.Jia Zheng didn't expect to correct him right away, so he put the Qingnao Pill into the cup by holding water and handed it to Jia Zhu.

What I did wrong, the master didn't scold me, but even handed me water, which made Jia Zhu a little flattered, and looked at Jia Zheng with a teacup in bewilderment.Jia Zheng laughed and said, "After studying for so long, I should be thirsty. Drink." The voice sounded like a wolf grandma trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood.

Jia Zhu took the cup with both hands and drank it in gulps. Even though the water was a bit astringent today, he only thought it was his own illusion.Seeing that he drank the brain-clearing pills, Jia Zheng watched him go to bed again, and said to him: "Just sleep, don't think about studying, and fall asleep."

Jia Zhu nodded obediently, watched Jia Zheng leave, closed her eyes reassuringly, and slowly raised the corners of her small mouth.Although I don't know why the master suddenly paid attention to his work and rest, Jia Zhu felt that he was right about the concern.

Jia Zheng, who came out of Jia Zhu's yard, didn't know that he was shocked by his cheap son, so he walked towards Mrs. Wang's yard again.He couldn't do it if he didn't go, because he found that Jia Zhu's servants were all maids like Jia Baoyu.Thinking about Jia Baoyu's adult age in the original book, he has to be vigilant - men in this era mature too early.

Facing the old master who has gone and returned, the servants of Mrs. Wang's yard are very entangled, not knowing whether to offer this service in front of his wife.If the master doesn't go in after he walks halfway, it won't be a matter for his wife to scold him again.While they were hesitating, Jia Zheng had already walked to the door of the main room and heard the conversation in the room.

"Ma'am, don't worry. The master has always been bothered about studying. When did he take care of these mundane affairs? Maybe some slave in the mansion talked and let the master listen. According to the master's temperament, he is not willing to let it go." .It’s just that there are many things in the house, how important it is to be a filial piety, maybe if you are busy for a day or two, the master will forget it.” It was the voice of Mrs. Wang’s confidant Zhou Rui’s family.

Jia Zheng glared viciously at the girl who wanted to report, and frightened the girl so much that she didn't dare to speak, only then did she hear Mrs. Wang say: "It's just that you haven't seen the way the master talks today, it's really scary."

Zhou Rui's family said: "The master is upright, and he wants to be a butcher for an official. How can he not have any authority? Wait until the master becomes an official, and the wife's business will go to a higher level. If Now that you have collected it, not to mention how much interest you can’t get back, even if the money is not enough to live, it’s not easy to get it back.”

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to say anything else, Jia Zheng picked up the curtain and entered the room by himself. He turned his head and said harshly to the girl: "It's so hard to look at people." Let your wife do illegal things!"

The two people in the room turned pale with fright, and couldn't even say a word of greeting, let alone cover up what they just said.In the morning, Jia Zheng was trying to cheat Mrs. Wang, thinking that Xiuju would stay with her for a few days, so if something happened, he could take care of her.I don't think this Wang family really has a long history of family education, and the profit-making money is all in the same line.

Thinking about the consequences, it's no wonder that Jia Zheng is so angry: "Bring me the account book on which the wife puts out the profit."

Zhou Rui's family looked at Mrs. Wang tremblingly, but didn't speak.Jia Zheng laughed angrily: "It's a loyal servant. It's just that my Jia family can't afford to support you as a loyal servant. The Wang family is really a good tutor for instigating the master to do such things that ruin the family's career and ruin the morals!"

Hearing Jia Zhengyu's involvement in the Wang family, Mrs. Wang couldn't help saying: "My lord, isn't it for our family? Is it for our two children?"

Jia Zheng sneered: "Do I have to say next, because of me, a good-for-nothing master?"

Women regard their husbands as their gods, and they say that marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog. Even if Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's inability to win the title, she didn't dare to say it out loud. One room is difficult.

Jia Zheng didn't talk nonsense with her, but asked their master and servant to hand over the account book and the IOU first.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to go to the inner room and took out Jia Zhengyao's things from nowhere.

Even though he knew that the married daughters of the Wang family had always married generously, Jia Zheng was still surprised by the amount of money in the account book - there were more than one hundred thousand taels of money exchanged in it.Looking at the income over the years, it is actually similar to the principal.Jia Zheng sneered again: "Okay, okay, I didn't know that my wife made money so well."

Mrs. Wang was still waiting to beg, but Jia Zheng had already stepped out of the room, and said to the woman in the yard, "Go and call all my servants."

Although Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jia Zheng was going to do with her, she let the boy into the inner house in the middle of the night. It was still the yard of her wife who was in charge. If Jia Zheng didn't deal with her tomorrow, she wouldn't have to be a human being anymore.Thinking of what Liuyun said just now that the master went to Zhu'er's yard, Mrs. Wang cried out sadly: "Master, please look at the sake of the two children, and show some dignity to this concubine."

Jia Zheng was called a servant, but he just wanted someone to copy Zhou Rui's house, and he didn't think about Mrs. Wang's reputation.Now that Mrs. Wang made such a stern voice, she remembered the etiquette of this era.

Shaking his head, he said to the mother-in-law in the yard: "Come here, two people, tie Zhou Rui's family to me and put them in the woodshed. No one is allowed to talk to her, and she is not allowed to make a sound."

The last sentence was a lesson learned from Nanny Lai, and he was afraid that Zhou Rui's family would jump over the wall in a hurry and tell private things.The big mouth of Jia's slave was not developed in a day or two.Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was more capable of controlling her accompanying room than Jia Mu. Even though Zhou Rui's family looked at Mrs. Wang beggingly, she didn't make a sound, and silently had her tied up and stuffed with rags.

After taking Mrs. Wang's account book, Jia Zheng didn't want to stay any longer, and went to his study outside.Mrs. Wang also knew that if the master heard her secrets today, she was afraid that she would not be kind, so she ordered the women and girls in the yard not to chew their tongues, and went to the inner room to think about whether someone would send a letter back to the Wang family tomorrow.

After leaving the inner house, Jia Zheng drank two cups of tea in the outer study to suppress the evil fire in his heart: He knew that Mrs. Wang would not be so mean-spirited, but now the Rongguo Mansion is just beginning to leave. The downhill road is still prosperous in the eyes of outsiders—a lord seized the title, and a lord won the title by himself through the back door—how did Mrs. Wang start doing Wang Xifeng's deeds?

Now is not the time to analyze Mrs. Wang's motives, but to clean up her tail.With such a daughter-in-law, how can one be so tired?Thinking of Mrs. Wang's combat prowess and great achievements in the original novel, Jia Zheng felt that his future was bleak.

If it weren't for the fact that his family had just become filial piety, Jia Zheng would have made up his mind to let Mrs. Wang "die of illness".It's a pity that there is still a mother of Jia in this mansion. Just because of this old lady who has a lot of fun fighting with others, Jia Zheng will not let Jia Zheng not remarry after his wife dies.But looking at the successor she chose for Jia She, Jia Zheng felt that he should clean up Mrs. Wang's mess first, and observe by the way whether she has the heart to repent.

Even if there is a curfew in this era, when facing people like Rongguo Mansion, they can still be lenient.What's more, Zhou Rui's family lived in the back street of Rongguo Mansion, and the servants had moved all their belongings to Jia Zheng in less than an hour.

The wealth of Zhou Rui's family cannot be compared with that of Lai's family, but it is not something that a servant's family can have.Jia Zheng was not interested in those silver coins and antiques of unknown quality, but just collected all the evidence that might involve Mrs. Wang's profiteering.

"Master." A boy outside the door called tentatively.

Jia Zhengzheng looked impatiently at the account book and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the servant had already bent over and came in: "Wu Xindeng, wife's companion, is going out. It was too late to check the door and asked him where he was going, but he hesitated and couldn't tell."

Jia Zheng just wanted to say that he was just a slave, so if he couldn't explain clearly, he would just tie him up first, and just ask him tomorrow.But after thinking about it, I realized that the reason people came to ask me, the point is not that I have to go out at this time, nor is it that I can't explain clearly, but the wife's companion.

He is really a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, no one has such good eyesight.If it hadn't been for him to have someone raid Mrs. Wang's companion's house just now, Wu Xindeng would have left the mansion by now, so why would he ask this question now.Jia Zheng was a little impatient. Anyone who found himself doing more and more troublesome things would be impatient: "Such a trivial matter is worth asking? Who is on the door, who doesn't know the rules in the house? Even the person on the door and that Wu Xindeng bundled together."

The boy bent his waist a little lower and agreed to go out.

In this day, besides instigating others to tie up people, I ordered them to tie up people myself.This is the only thing that satisfied Jia Zheng in this life. No matter how many things happened, Mother Jia still gave him face and maintained his dignity in front of his servants.If he wanted to tie people up, Mother Jia would stop him, and his next two orders would definitely not be carried out.

But in the middle of the night, Jia Zheng wanted to let his companion leave the house, and he knew that Mrs. Wang was going to ask Wang Ziteng for help.Looking at the pile of IOUs in his hand, Jia Zheng felt that Wang Ziteng should be a sensible person.

The next day, before Wang Ziteng called, Jia Amnesty visited Jia Zheng's foreign study.There's no way, although everyone discussed yesterday that they would submit an apology, but Jia She couldn't write an apology by himself.Jia Zheng couldn't write either. He had officialdom novels in his head, but there were stories in them. The stories were good. They didn't say how to write the scriptures, but they were still scriptures for pleading guilty.

There is no format!

Faced with Jia She's face, don't you know how to read? Disillusioned by how you can't even write an apology, Jia Zheng said with a bit of shame: "Didn't my father keep the clerk? Don't you find out the original copy of my father's original copy?" look?"

Jia She smiled wryly and said, "Since our family kept filial piety, those clerks have gradually resigned. The two left now are just because they couldn't find decent families outside." The two of them are not very optimistic.

Jia Zheng nodded: "He's always been with my father. Elder brother should be more polite to those two old gentlemen." Don't pretend that everyone doesn't know why he resigned. If you don't look at Jia Amnesty, you are not a futile and hopeless person. .Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still somewhat disapproving, Jia Zheng persuaded, "After leaving the filial piety, elder brother has to go to the palace to thank you, and he has to attend the court meeting. Even if the two old gentlemen are worse, they can follow father through."

It was only then that Jia She realized that Jia Zheng was really not reading his jokes, but that he had already thought out things for him after his filial piety, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I know. It's just how you got angry last night. Your daughter-in-law's accompanying room? I heard that she was tied up?"

Jia Zheng didn't hold out hope that the mouths of the servants of the Jia family could keep some secrets.He also didn't want to hide this matter from Jia She, the main reason was that if the prince came, he was an official now, and he could only be regarded as white now, so naturally he had to let Jia She come forward to be considered equal.

Asking someone to guard the door of the study room, Jia Zheng showed Mrs. Wang's criminal evidence to Jia She: "This ignorant woman is too courageous, and she will do something like this to harm her virtue and harm her children and grandchildren. If you don't take advantage of the present The people outside don't know that they have cleaned up the first and last, I am afraid that it will become a disaster of ransacking the family and exterminating the family in the future!"

Jia Amnesty was first frightened by the criminal evidence in front of him, and then angry at Mrs. Wang's actions, but now he is sympathetic and grateful to Jia Zheng.I sympathize with Jia Zheng because he has such a bold and dark-hearted daughter-in-law, but I am grateful because Jia Amnesty knows that Jia Zheng can not tell him about it at all, and everything in the future can be pushed to his own name. on the owner of the house.

At that time, the crime of lax family management was his own!

Jia Zheng didn't care what Jia She was thinking at the moment, he just said to him: "Brother, let a reliable person take stock of the public treasury. I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang is too greedy."

Jia Amnesty was more than touched. He felt that he had wrongly blamed his brother before. Guilt and gratitude made him very convinced by Jia Zheng's words, but he still had concerns: "Are you afraid of the old lady?" Nanny Lai, but she also sent the old lady's private intentions. If the old lady thinks that she is checking her, it will be troublesome.

Trouble has to be done, and it is best to find as many evidences of Mrs. Wang's crimes as possible before the prince vacates.Jia Zheng offered advice to Jia Amnesty: "Brother, you can tell the old lady what Wang has done. After all, the old lady was also a family manager. She must be displeased with such a messy woman. Will cover up."

Jia Amnesty didn't know that Jia Zheng wanted to give Mrs. Wang's handle to Jia Mu so that Jia Mu could control Mrs. Wang more. The old lady who is a demon is much more reliable - but she knows that this is a good opportunity for Mrs. Wang to lose her housekeeping rights.Without further words, he patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder and went to arrange for someone to check the public treasury.

Jia Zheng didn't care about anything else, so he sent someone to Mrs. Wang to call Xiuju. Although the eyeliner he arranged was in the open, it was too useless.If it wasn't too late yesterday, which would easily cause misunderstanding, he would have withdrawn this useless girl long ago.

When Xiuju came back, her face was not in a good mood. She couldn't see where she was going: Mrs. Wang couldn't sleep well all night, and it was strange to let her, a "trustworthy" person of Jia Zheng, be let go. She would beat her legs or serve tea. Xiuju closed her eyes all night. The hours are less than an hour.

"Master, it's not that the servant doesn't want to follow the wife, it's just that the wife is the master, and she doesn't let the servant into the inner room, so the servant can't do anything." Xiuju complained to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng glanced at her, she was also considered a delicate and pretty young lady, younger than Mrs. Wang.It's just that no matter how young Jia Zheng is willing to bear it, so he didn't give people a good face: "How did I tell you? Didn't I tell you to follow your wife all the time? If your wife doesn't let you follow, you won't come back and forth with me?"

What she said made Xiuju dumbfounded. Yesterday she really saved her life to stare at Mrs. Wang and take advantage of Mrs. Wang to benefit Jia Zheng.It's just that a master is a master, not to mention that Madam Wang has been the mistress for so long, even her companions can see what Xiuju is thinking.Every time Xiuju wanted to go out, she would make a gesture of saying something to Mrs. Wang, so she was so attracted that she was reluctant to leave, but she couldn't hear any secrets.

Seeing Xiuju who had nothing to say in front of him, and Aunt Zhao who would become famous in the future, Jia Zheng didn't want to stay with him anymore - there were already enough people holding back in the inner house, there was no need to add another one.Not to mention the present, even in the future, Jia Zheng didn't have the intention of making things more attractive, so he lowered his face and drank: "Useless things. Go down. Find someone in charge by yourself, and just say what I say. I can't afford you like this." Something that doesn’t take the master’s words to heart.”

Xiuju burst into tears: "Master, the servants have served the master for several years, but the master is so cruel."

It was as if Jia Zheng was a heartless man, although according to the original owner's usual practice, it was pretty much the same, but Jia Zheng refused to take the blame: "Why, the master is saving face for you, and you actually threatened the master? Come on."

The boy outside the door has been trembling since yesterday—the master usually just ignores mundane affairs in a rigid manner, but who knows that when he starts to handle mundane affairs, he will be so vigorous and resolute, and he will tie people up when he says he will tie them up.So when Jia Zheng called for someone, he came in without a single call: "What's the master's order?"

Jia Zheng pointed to Xiuju who was kneeling on the ground and crying: "This girl has no master in her eyes. I told her to do nothing. Let her mother take her back by herself."
