Since yesterday, the minds of the people in the Rongguo Mansion have been active: The Lai family, who has always been the second-tier master, has received the grace of the old lady, and the whole family has been released: I heard that they took their belongings early in the morning and went to seek refuge Know where the relatives are.This made the servants of the Rongguo Mansion fluctuate.
The Lai family did not leave alone. Several families who were related to their family went to seek relatives together, and many others were packing their luggage and preparing to go to various villages.The servant of the Rongguo Mansion, who is famous for his big mouth, kept his mouth shut this time, and no one talked about why these people went to Zhuangzi together.They only thought in their minds that the Lai family and their relatives left, and the vacated positions were all good positions. Would it be nice if they could show their faces in front of the master, if they could not become the first butler or the second butler? .
Just about to perform in front of the master, the elder is about to check the public treasury!You must know that although this warehouse is called the public warehouse, it is usually the wives in the inner house who are in charge of the account books. The men just know the general idea. If you need anything, tell the wife in charge. Of course, people will need it. offerings.Now that the elder wants to check the public treasury, it is obvious that he doesn't trust the wife in charge.
It's normal to not trust, after all, the housekeeper's head wife is not the eldest wife, but the second wife.In fact, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion are not stupid. They have no rules because they follow the example: the master can do what the second wife is in charge of the big family, but they can't talk about it?
Usually, it’s a matter of talking, but if they really let them check the public treasury with Jia She, these people want to shrink back: the second wife is in charge of the house, it was ordered by the old lady, and the old lady in the house is not only the oldest , she is also of the highest rank, not to mention that none of the two masters dare not listen to the old lady.
Of course, now that the old man wanted to check the public treasury, he didn't listen to the old lady's words, but it was because he didn't listen to the old lady's words that the consequences would be dire--when the old lady gets angry, the old man will definitely be cowardly, it doesn't matter if he is cowardly, The old lady just scolded him.But those who follow the old man, maybe they have to bear the name of provoking the master.The old lady can't hit the board of the son who has already attacked the noble, but the board of the servant can still be hit.
So after Jia Amnesty got Jia's mother's consent to check the public treasury, he found out embarrassingly that no one cooperated with him-he was the master. slave.Now that the servant refuses to step forward, Jia Amnesty is furious!
Yes, he didn't tell everyone that his Chaku was approved by the old lady, but he is still the head of the family, isn't he?Now the Patriarch wanted to check his own warehouse, but he couldn't be called attractive, which showed his status in the hearts of these slaves.
Feeling that I am being looked down upon by the slaves, Jia She's agitation also came up, you look down on me as the patriarch, well, I don't need you anymore.If Jia Zheng knew that checking a public treasury would not only obtain further evidence of Mrs. Wang's crime, but also directly lead Jia Amnesty to make up his mind to clean up the slaves who caused him headaches. He would definitely warn those people: no matter how unhappy the master is, he is still the master He's still a master who commits crimes from time to time, and it's not something you slaves who are still in the hands of others can compete with.
After tidying up Lai's house yesterday, Jia Amnesty still found a few available people in his East Courtyard.The slaves in the Rongguo Mansion couldn't be manipulated, so he sent someone to the East Courtyard to call those people over, and let them take over the keys and ledgers of the public treasury without saying a word: reconcile the accounts!
The servants in charge of the public treasury were dumbfounded. They just wanted to get a Joe so that the old man would know that they, the old people in the mansion, should not be treated like ordinary servants.Who knew that the elder would have someone replace them when he came up, so they all called Qu.Jia Amnesty only sneered at those people: "My lord, I checked the warehouse, and the old lady didn't say anything, but you slaves actually pushed back and forth. Come, show me these warehouse managers. If something doesn't match, ask them first."
Jia Amnesty's inspection of the warehouse was in full swing, but Jia Zheng's place was calm.Jia Amnesty just now mentioned the matter of asking for forgiveness, but it also reminded him: if he replaces an official in the future, because he is extra merciful today, he will also be asked to thank him.Even if his official is young, he doesn't know when the book will be delivered to the present, but he must write it.
Again, he didn't know how to write that sentence.You must know that there is still a literary prison at this time. If one fails, he will not be a gentleman praised by everyone, but will become a generation without father and king that everyone despises.Fortunately, Jia Zheng asked himself that his learning ability was not bad, so he asked someone to take out the original draft of Jia Daishan's booklet, and pondered over it while reading it.
After watching for a while, Jia Zheng still couldn't figure out what to do.I had no choice but to put down the research on the format of the memorial, and turn to reason about what I have done, what I will face, and what I will work hard in the future.
Although he has not been here for a long time, he has already done a lot: Jia She saw the hope of being the Patriarch, and has already begun to exercise the rights of the Patriarch in the Rongguo Mansion.With this article, Jia She's position in the Rongguo Mansion will be gradually established in the future, and there will be no more words about Jia Zheng stealing the position of Patriarch.The charge of prudence went to one.
As for the collection of Mrs. Wang's criminal evidence, especially when the Lai family exposed Jia Mu's secrets and she urgently needed someone to come out to take the blame, Mrs. Wang's housekeeping power is very likely to be lost, and there will be no more talk about the second room. Evacuated the big house.Another charge of prudence.
Cleaning up Lai Da's family will not only make the Rongguo Mansion one less moth, but also let the servants in the mansion know that no matter how much face the master usually gives, the master must be willing to give it.Once the master doesn't give face any more, the arrogant slaves will have to return to their original forms.At this moment, he didn't know that Jia Amnesty had already planned to clean up the servants in the mansion, and the effect was better than what he thought now.Slave bully the master, betray the master, domineering under the banner of the master, and then push the bad reputation on the master, and it will be eliminated as much as possible.The charges of lax family management have also been eliminated a lot.
And there is Mother Jia, even if Madam Wang was blamed, many people heard Lai Nanny's selfish words that day.Not to mention how well they were sons, the old lady had lost face in front of her two daughters-in-law, and if she wanted to tell her what to do in the future, she had to weigh whether they were laughing at her in her heart.As a result, Jiamu's hidden danger in Yiyantang in Rongguo Mansion was also relieved a little.
In this way, Jia Zheng felt that he was quite effective.It's just that these things can only be regarded as family affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and some of them can be regarded as family scandals, and there is no time to cover them up, let alone make troubles known to everyone.Therefore, Jia Zheng can only be regarded as leveling his own way of being a gentleman, which is still far from being praised by everyone.
Jia Zheng's thinking expanded, and he wanted to see what he should do so that people would know his Jia Zheng's name. He also liked the name and said what a gentleman does?Just seeking fame is not what a gentleman should do. For example, if the original owner was called a prudish, it was because Jia Mu helped build a good reputation in Rongguo Mansion, but people who came into contact with him found that the person had no name. How did he get such a bad name?
Just as he was thinking, someone asked Jia Zheng whether to put his lunch in the outer study or send it back to the inner courtyard.Only then did Jia Zheng remember that yesterday he tied up several people in the inner courtyard.And the masters of those people will definitely not wait for him to deal with her honestly.Maybe someone else has been sent to the Wang family for help now.
Jia Zheng walked towards the inner house, and Jia Zhu was waiting for him outside his inner study.The child's complexion was not much better, and even more serious.Jia Zheng knew what was going on, but the plane still smiled and asked, "Is Zhu'er here to eat with my father?"
Jia Zhu greeted Jia Zheng a little uncomfortably. Seeing that Jia Zheng's face was still gentle, she said cautiously: "When my son went to greet his wife today, the wife was not feeling well. Sister Zhou was not there either. She is the wife." People who are used to it, can the master..."
No wonder Wang Ziteng didn't come to the door this morning. Maybe Mrs. Wang was frightened by Wu Xindeng being tied up in the middle of the night last night.It's just that she doesn't know that her son's personality is sensitive and his mind is heavy. If he puts such dirty things between parents in front of the child, will it increase the child's worries?
Jia Zheng didn't answer Jia Zhu's words, but asked him, "After I left last night, did you sleep well? Did you feel more concentrated in studying this morning?"
Jia Zhu nodded and shook his head again: "My son didn't read much this morning." He looked at Jia Zheng's face while talking, and found that Jia Zheng's face was about to change, and hurriedly said, "But the books I read are easier to remember than in the past."
It's a pity that Jia Zheng's expression did not return to mildness.Jia Zheng just said to the people outside the door: "Go and see if Lian'er has eaten. If not, ask him to come and eat with me."
While waiting for Jia Lian, Jia Zhu was obviously out of his mind, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to comfort him: "Your wife has eight people if not ten, how can you only go to one Zhou Rui's house, and be hindered everywhere? It's just that your wife was deceived by Zhou Rui's family. Now that your wife is in good spirits, let a servant lead her by the nose, and after a few years, won't that servant just say whatever she wants?"
Jia Zhu felt that what the master said was reasonable, and it was for his wife's sake, so her little face finally turned pale.Jia Zheng took the opportunity and said, "You're a boy, and you'll be out and about in the future. Now you just need to concentrate on your studies and understand some human affairs."
Jia Zhu often heard the former sentence, but the latter sentence was always despised by his master. Jia Zhu couldn't help calling out suspiciously in a low voice: "Master?"
Jia Zheng said with a smile: "I also thought that as long as you have read the book well, other people will do the mundane affairs. It was only yesterday that I found out that the slaves at home were just because the wives were not allowed to leave the inner house. My son can only listen to their reports, but the old man and I don't care much about common affairs, so we even deceived the master. You are the eldest son of our house, and you can't suffer like me again, so this person □□ You still need to know something.”
Just as he was talking, Jia Lian had already come in, and after greeting Jia Zheng, he was listening to Jia Zheng saying, "Look at Lian'er, you can understand these things better, and you will see how he behaves in the future."
Yesterday, he said that he was in better health than Big Brother Zhu, so he asked Big Brother Zhu to go shopping with him in the garden.Today, he said that he understood, and let Big Brother Zhu watch him act.Although Jia Lian didn't know what Jia Zheng was referring to, he felt that his second uncle was his confidant. Not only did he not scold him for two days, but he always found his bright spots.
So Jia Lian, the unlucky boy, became excited all of a sudden: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, you can just stay with me in the future. I've taken down all the thieves in the school, and no one dares to bark their teeth."
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian with a red face, and said with a smile: "You go to school to win people?"
It was only then that Jia Lian realized that she was talking bald, and murmured, refusing to speak out.Jia Zheng also didn't intend to embarrass him, now is the time to ease the relationship with the two children, and cursing others with a straight face will only push the children further away.Fortunately, the meal was already set, so Jia Zheng only asked the two of them to wash their hands and eat.
He personally handed the soup to the two, and Jia Zheng took the two of them to eat.Unexpectedly, just after eating two mouthfuls, the servant outside the door announced: "Master is here." Jia Amnesty had already entered the room by himself.
"Second child," Jia She called to Jia Zheng, only to find that there were two younger children in the room: "Why are these two boys here?"
Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were a little dizzy from the "Second" just now, and they looked at each other and decided to pretend not to hear.Jia Zheng said: "I don't think so on weekdays. I saw the two brothers in the old lady's room that day, and realized that I hadn't spent much time with them. That's why I called them to have dinner with me in the past two days."
Jia She snorted, "It's women's business to raise children, but your mother-in-law is up now."
Jia Zheng said sternly: "My brother is missing. If it's a girl, her upbringing is a woman's business. It's just that Lian'er is going to become a prince in the future, and Zhu'er is my eldest son. They both have to support the family. Now they are all grown up." Naturally, we should teach them some principles of human relations, so that the slaves will not dare to coax them." After hearing this, the two children straightened up a lot.
Thinking about the fact that the slaves in my family are so bold, it's really because I don't care about it.Jia Amnesty flamboyantly ignored the fact that Jia's mother didn't give him the opportunity to intervene in the phone, and felt that Jia Zheng's words were not unreasonable: "Well, I really ignored it when you put it this way. Come on, send my The food is also delivered."
Jia Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he asked someone to serve Jia She's bowls and chopsticks first: I'm really waiting for Jia She's food to arrive, Jia Zhu and the others' food will be completely cold.After dinner, he asked Jia Lian to take Jia Zhu to stroll around the garden before taking a rest. Jia Zheng then asked Jia Amnesty why he came.
Jia Amnesty took out a few pieces of paper from his boot pages, and said to Jia Zheng, "It's not that I'm stingy as an elder brother, but if your daughter-in-law wants to show off something, who can say anything? It's just this." It's too greedy."
Even though he never regarded Mrs. Wang as his daughter-in-law in his heart, Jia Zheng still blushed: the daughter-in-law in name is also a daughter-in-law!Husband and wife are one, and Mrs. Wang has done something embarrassing, but Jia Zheng is truly honorable.If it wasn't for the fact that he gave Jia Amnesty the idea of checking the public treasury, maybe Jia Amnesty would have even suspected Jia Zheng. These few pages were not shown to him first, but sent directly to the clan to open the ancestral hall. .
After saluting Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng said, "It's because I don't manage the family strictly that makes Mrs. Wang so courageous. I'll ask her now."
Jia Amnesty was not too polite, mainly because the servants were still angry with them in the morning, so he naturally wanted to take his anger out on Mrs. Wang, the head wife.What's more, the head wife was still moving things out of his warehouse. Jia She has never been a big-hearted person.
With those few pieces of paper, Jia Zheng appeared in Mrs. Wang's yard for the first time today.Just overnight, the courtyard that used to be crowded with people suddenly became quiet. Even the servants who were serving were careful not to speak loudly, for fear of offending the master who was in charge of mundane affairs for some reason or A lady who is obviously in a bad mood.
Ignoring the courteous smirks of those women, and seeing the fast-legged little girl running in to report, Jia Zheng just put on a face and entered the main room.It was Yuan Chun who didn't want to pick him up: "Greetings, master."
Jia Zheng was still a little awkward when facing Yuan Chun, but it was not as natural as when he faced Jia Zhu and Jia Lian: "Why are you here? Have you ever eaten?"
Yuan Chun said with a smile: "My wife is not feeling well today, my daughter came to talk to my wife. I have already used it with my wife, and my wife also got a bowl of rice."
In front of him is nothing but a child who wants to please his father.Jia Zheng thought, with himself around, Yuan Chun would not be allowed to enter the palace, and Aunt Zhao had already been dispatched as a reserve, so Jia Tanchun would not show up either. He should have sighed that it was impossible to get everything together, so why should he bother with it? last life.
"Well, you should go back and have a rest too." Jia Zheng's expression softened a little.
Yuan Chun was very good at reading people's faces, and hurriedly said: "Yes. Master, Madam is not feeling well yet." He said something kindly.
Jia Zheng just nodded his head, and asked Yuan Chun to be sent back, regardless of whether she turned around every step of the way.Mrs. Wang could clearly hear the conversation between the father and daughter, and she could also hear Yuan Chun's plea in his last words, so when Jia Zheng entered the room, she looked at him hopefully.
If he can relax his mind towards the child, he will not be so kind to Mrs. Wang. Jia Zheng's face turned cold again, and he shouted at Liu Yun: "Take people down, watch at the door, no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go around. Rumors chew your tongue."
Liu Yun responded, and went down without even daring to look at Mrs. Wang.Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Zheng felt that the scene outside the door should also be cleared, so he asked Mrs. Wang, "Then what do you plan to do with Zhou Rui's family?"
Mrs. Wang said cautiously: "Let them go to Zhuangzi?"
Jia Zheng shook his head, and handed the papers to her: "Look at the things on them, are they familiar? My brother checked the public treasury this morning, you don't know?"
Why don't you know, it is precisely because you know but can't do anything that Mrs. Wang is uncomfortable.It's just that there are some things here that she has never seen before, so she has to argue: "Master Mingjian..."
Jia Zheng said expressionlessly, "It's just that I don't have a clear lesson on weekdays, which made you so courageous. I sent my companion out of the house in the middle of the night, even disregarding the court's curfew?"
This is another place where I let the master catch me. Mrs. Wang had to lower her head: "It's all my fault when I saw the master was angry yesterday. I was so confused. I wanted my brother to persuade me to make peace."
Jia Zheng made Mrs. Wang annoyed, who said she was stupid: "Oh? Let your brother come to persuade you to make peace in the middle of the night, and you are not afraid of scaring your brother?" Call the door?
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "I was in a hurry for a while."
Jia Zheng tapped the few pieces of paper in her hand with his chin: "I'm afraid these things were not taken out in a short period of time, or they were lost in a hurry and forgot to put them back?"
Mrs. Wang is angry, why did she come back again?Could it be that when he mentioned his elder brother just now, he actually told himself not to be afraid, and that his elder brother came to support him?Thinking about what Jia Zheng said just now, what would call the door in the middle of the night, Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly jumped: Except for the eight-hundred-mile military situation and funeral reports, which do not violate the curfew, everything else is included in the list of offenders!
She asked someone to find Wang Ziteng, of course it was not in the military situation, although it seemed urgent to her.Mrs. Wang didn't dare to think about the remaining option.
Jia Zheng didn't care what she was thinking, he just asked, "Have you seen all the things above?"
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth to pieces: "Master should also think about Zhu'er and Yuan Chun. If my dowry is paid, what will happen to the two children in the future?" Mrs. Wang really hates it, but you don't I didn't hear Madam Lai's words, your old lady also has a share in taking things from the public treasury, why do you have to keep it on yourself?If it is true that you have to pay it yourself, it is not enough to pay your own dowry! !
Jia Zheng nodded: "That's right, I also know what to do with Zhu'er and Yuanchun. It's just that when you were doing these things, did you think about what would happen to the two children if they were exposed? If my brother didn't hand over the list to me first Instead, send them to the clan or directly to Shuntian Mansion, so that everyone will know that Zhu Er and Yuan Chun have a mother who is a thief, so what about the two children?"
Jia Zheng's voice was really not high, it was much lower than when Zhou Rui's family took out Mrs. Wang's interest book yesterday, but when she heard Mrs. Wang's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, completely killing her. Shocked: "No, this is a family scandal. The old man would not do this. If he did, everyone would say that he is not strict with his family."
"So that's what you came up with." Jia Zheng's voice became calmer: "If you have something to do, you can push it to others, and if you have something to gain, you can take it yourself. Mrs. Wang, who do you think you are? And which family do you think your Wang family is from?" ?”
Mrs. Wang was speechless.How ugly my mind is, I can find a reasonable explanation from myself, such as thinking about the future of my little family, so that the children can live a better life in the future.But once something needs to find an excuse, it shows that it is not reasonable.Now that Jia Zheng pointed it out, Mrs. Wang had to admit this reality.
"Take out your dowry list." Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang again.
Can Mrs. Wang not take it?Even the excuse of not feeling well can't be used.She finally understood that if she dared to use this excuse, Jia Zheng would dare to find an imperial physician.Wasn't he the one who would be ashamed by then?So Jia Zheng had a thick stack of dowry lists in his hands.
It's really a generous marriage for the Wang family to marry a daughter.Looking at the thick dowry list, Jia Zheng sighed inwardly.I can't help thinking that in the original book, Wang Ziteng himself has no son, but he seems to have a daughter.Could it be that from Mrs. Wang's generation, the Wang family already knew that their offspring would be difficult in the future, so they couldn't wait to transfer all the wealth to their daughters?
Don't blame Jia Zheng for being unkind. In this era of strong clan values, for a family without an heir, after the master leaves, the wealth must go back to the clan.Otherwise, in the original book, Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's house for so long, why didn't anyone from the Lin family come to see her?Not to mention that the relationship with Lin Daiyu is too far away, there is no family relationship, the ancient people's clan concept is still very strong.Even the orphans in the clan have to prepare a dowry when they get married.No one in the Lin family asked about Lin Daiyu. It was definitely not because Jia's mother said that "they are all dead", but because they were dissatisfied with the Jia family's control of the Lin family's property.
Withdrawing his long-term thoughts, Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang: "I will send someone to invite your brother over to the house. What do you want to say to your brother?"
Now Mrs. Wang is really scared. After all, what she did is not decent. Now that Jia Zheng wants to ask the prince to leave the house, he can only discuss how to deal with her.Just now when Jia Zheng asked for her dowry list, he had an explanation. Instead of asking her to accompany the money, he asked her to leave with her dowry.
With a bang, Mrs. Wang knelt down to Jia Zheng: "Master, for the sake of the two children, please forgive me this time. Master, I have been a filial son to the Duke for three years." .”
It's not very strong to say that the child is really strong, but when it comes to keeping filial piety for Jia Daishan for three years, it makes people toothache.Even though it is less than a month away from filial piety, if Jia Zheng divorces Mrs. Wang at this juncture, his reputation will be unnecessary: he has kept filial piety for your father for 26 months. Yes, you divorced him in the last month, didn't you have ulterior motives?What's more, they gave birth to a son and a daughter for you? !
Don't talk about the evidence in your hand. The Jia family really dare not show it to others. It's too late to hide it from others.The reason is similar to what Mrs. Wang said just now. Once Jia Daishan left, the family members of Rongguo Mansion were no longer as good as before.But whoever is an official does not have one or two political enemies, those people are staring wide-eyed, waiting to take advantage of the Rongguo Mansion.If you release the evidence in your hand, isn't that for others?
But Jia Zheng didn't want Mrs. Wang to pass the test so easily, this woman is too courageous, this time she must let her know how to write when she is afraid.Jia Zheng wanted to be a gentleman, and having an old lady who was focused on dragging his legs was already troublesome enough, but with a prodigal daughter-in-law, he was not far from the prudence in the original book.
Without leaving a word, Jia Zheng left Mrs. Wang's main room, and he did not forget to tell the girl guarding the door: "Madam is not feeling well, let those housekeepers go back to the eldest lady if they have something to do. Zhu'er and Yuan Chun don't need to greet, save Got sick."
No matter what was broken in the room, it couldn't stop Jia Zheng from leaving, but the suddenly angry master made the servants in the yard realize that in this house, it is not the wife who is really in charge.So Yuan Chun, who came to take care of Mrs. Wang in the afternoon, could only return to his yard with a pensive expression.
Now Wang Ziteng, who is in Rongxi's dignified state, is not looking contemplative, but looking at the things in his hand with a constipated expression.He had to go through this experience: Mrs. Wang's companion, Shan Daliang's family, had been waiting outside the Wang's house early on. As soon as the door opened, she rushed to Wang Ziteng and told her about Mrs. Wang asking for help from her natal family.Even if Wang Ziteng didn't want to come forward, he still had to. If he didn't come, what would people think of the Wang family and the married daughter of the Wang family?
But what if it comes?What is before him now is not only the evidence of Mrs. Wang's interest in what Shan Daliang's family said, but also the evidence of Mrs. Wang's taking things from the public treasury to her private house since she took over the house.It's no wonder Wang Ziteng's complexion looks better.
"Cunzhou, my younger sister was also surrounded by Jin Peiyu since she was a child, and her dowry was also 30 to [-] yuan. Did Cun Zhou misunderstand her younger sister?" No matter what, Wang Ziteng had to draw an alliance. The owner, Jia Amnesty, was impossible, but his younger sister You can count on the person next to your pillow, right?
It can only be said that Wang Ziteng only knew the original owner, not the current Jia Zheng: "Master Wang, do you want to see your sister's dowry list, and then look at the things in the private treasury now?" Jia Zheng is no longer called brother-in-law , a Lord Wang put the distance between the two of them apart, and put the dowry list he got from Mrs. Wang on the small table next to Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng just choked. Doesn't this Jia Cunzhou know that no matter how many things his sister takes, they will belong to their children in the future?Why don't you help your sister to talk now, instead vent your anger with Jia She?
Jia Amnesty sneered from the presidency: "Lord Wang, don't worry about someone framing Lingmei. Wang's companions are still locked up in the firewood room. How about having them brought here?" We also have witnesses.
Wang Ziteng's face became even more ugly: "No need." It's just that there is no way to do it like this. The Jia family obviously doesn't intend to let their sister go easily. He clasped his fists: "Sister She has done such a thing, and I have no face to intercede for her. It's just that she has been in Jia's family for more than ten years, and she has a son and a daughter. Just for the sake of the children, please take care of it. If General Jia If you have any other requirements, please show them in person."
Seeing Wang Ziteng's resigned expression, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.Speaking of which, Jia Amnesty was still a little cowardly towards Wang Ziteng, one was relying on his ancestral shadow, and the other was being an official by his own ability, so it's normal to be cowardly.Fortunately, before the prince came, Jia Zheng had already encouraged Jia Amnesty: Now it is the daughter of the Wang family who made a mistake, and it is not only the Jia family who is trying to cover up, but the Wang family is even more anxious!
So Jia Amnesty also punched Wang Ziteng: "Vice General Wang, you are being polite. It's just that my second child also asked Mrs. Wang about some things that were not in the treasury, and she didn't see them in her private treasury either. I wonder if she accidentally got it mixed up when she was giving the ceremony on weekdays."
The prince is so angry, this Jia family is too pushy, not only humiliated him, but also want him to spend money to avoid disaster?It's just that the words have been spoken, and the Rongguo Mansion can't really abandon Mrs. Wang and go home. The prince can only admit this secret loss in front of him: "I don't know what is missing, and I ask General Jia to point it out, so I can return." Check out one or two at home."
Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief quietly.The second child is right, the Wang family is indeed more anxious than my own.So honestly and bluntly, he pointed out half of the things.Can Wang Ziteng let Mrs. Wang come out to confront him?Jia She had no choice but to point out the same thing, and he gritted his teeth to admit the same thing. After calculation, there are already more than [-] things.
Fortunately, Jia Amnesty knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good, and stopped before Wang Ziteng exploded.Wang Ziteng also had no intention and no shame to stay any longer, but he just hugged the two of them, and it was useless to even give it away, and went home to prepare the money by himself.
"Second," Jia She said with a guilty conscience, looking at Wang Ziteng's murderous back, "We have offended the Wang family this time."
Just to offend them.Now Jia Zheng is eager to stay as far away from the so-called four princes and four families as possible, so he is not worried at all: "So what if I offend you?"
Jia Amnesty's awareness of patriarchy just now made him say: "The four major families have always been in touch with each other, and they will help each other."
Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "Brother, you have thought about it. Once you get the booklet and ask for a new plaque and pay back the money owed to the treasury, the Wang family will not be the only ones to offend."
Jia She was dumbfounded: "Didn't it mean that the father's will is not a serious problem?"
Jia Zheng had no choice but to say, "It's just that there is nothing wrong with it on the surface. Those people dare not deal with us openly."
Now Jia Amnesty quit and didn't want to pay back the money. Now that he knows that he will offend someone, it's not just one or two people, so what's the point: "Then I won't pay back the money."
Jia Zheng wanted to slap himself, but he forgot that Jia Amnesty was also a money-grubbing person at heart.It's just that the words are spoken by oneself, and if you want to be round, you have to come by yourself: "Brother, did you forget what you said yesterday? Offended those people, but there are fewer people coming and going. But offending the royal family, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe immediately."
Counseling is cowarding, even a counseling who just blackmailed someone else cherishes his own life very much.When Jia She heard that if he didn't pay back the debt, his family might be ruined, and no matter when the disaster would come, he directly dragged Jia Zheng to continue discussing the matter of making a deal.
The two discussed the general idea, and then asked someone to invite the clerk who had been with Jia Daishan over, and several people edited and edited together, and finally wrote a notebook.
Before waiting for the booklet to be sent out, Mother Jia sent someone to invite Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng again.Jia Zhengsheng was afraid that Jia's mother would say something he disagreed with later, so he asked someone to hand over the paper first, and then came to see Jia's mother with Jia Amnesty.
Mother Jia actually wanted to ask about Prince Teng's visit.Speaking of which, although Wang Ziteng's current official position is only a lieutenant general in the Beijing camp, he can be regarded as a rare success among a group of noble dudes.Therefore, no matter how high-sighted Jia Mu was, she had to pay more attention to Wang Ziteng.
Because of the importance of it, even though the Jia family took full advantage of this matter, Jia's mother was still a little nervous.Her own son knew that the boss was a coward, and he didn't know whether he could speak neatly in front of Wang Ziteng.As for Jia Zheng, even if he spoke in an orderly manner to himself yesterday, his impression of being uncommon cannot be changed all at once.
Therefore, Jia's mother has no idea about the negotiation between her two sons and Wang Ziteng.But Jia She and the two brothers were too busy discussing how to get the discount, and neither of them thought of talking to Jia Mu about the result of the negotiation. She could only ask someone to call them: "What is the result? You have to talk to me." Talk about it.
Jia Amnesty still felt a little guilty, but Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously.It's really not that Jia Zheng learned machismo in such a short period of time, but when he was reading the original book, he had to intervene in everything about Jia's mother.
"Wang, what do you think we should do?" After hearing the results of their negotiations with Wang Ziteng, Jia's mother naturally wanted to ask Jia Zheng's plan.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty, and then said to Jia's mother, "Let the old lady be the master."
Jia's mother also looked at Jia She, just now Jia She showed off his achievements against Wang Ziteng.Regardless of whether the eldest son has really grown up or not, it's really not easy to hit him directly now - what Lai Nanny said yesterday, the sound has not yet fallen.
Jia Amnesty took Jiamu's winking eyes just now as encouragement, and he just bit off a piece of meat from the Wang family, so he was in a good mood: "Just say what the old lady has to say."
Then Jia Mu said: "If you say what Wang did, she would not be too exaggerated even if she divorced. It's just like what Wang said, at least it depends on Zhuer and Yuanchun, and the children can't be left alone. Besides, your daughter-in-law is also unworthy, and someone has to take care of this family. "
Jia Zheng felt bad when he heard it, even Jia She's eyes were wide open, and he hurriedly said: "The old lady will show her face, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed to see people herself. It's better to let her have nothing to do on weekdays." Son, copy the scriptures and pray for the children more. As for the housekeeper, isn’t there a big wife?”
Jia Mu just said, "She never took care of the house."
Jia Zheng said: "The eldest wife has been in the field for a few years, and I don't see any major problems in my brother's yard. In this mansion, there are only more people than my brother's yard. Besides, sooner or later, there will be more people in this mansion. Brother, it happens that the old lady is showing the eldest lady, so let her practice more."
The thing Jiamu doesn't like to hear the most is that sooner or later this house will be Jia Amnesty's words, so what will her old man do: "Nonsense, what's yours and mine. Now our family is going to be a filial piety. It's time for you brothers to support each other. Why do you have to say things like that?"
Old lady, if you secretly change concepts like this, you really think others are fools, right?Jia Zhengzhi
The Lai family did not leave alone. Several families who were related to their family went to seek relatives together, and many others were packing their luggage and preparing to go to various villages.The servant of the Rongguo Mansion, who is famous for his big mouth, kept his mouth shut this time, and no one talked about why these people went to Zhuangzi together.They only thought in their minds that the Lai family and their relatives left, and the vacated positions were all good positions. Would it be nice if they could show their faces in front of the master, if they could not become the first butler or the second butler? .
Just about to perform in front of the master, the elder is about to check the public treasury!You must know that although this warehouse is called the public warehouse, it is usually the wives in the inner house who are in charge of the account books. The men just know the general idea. If you need anything, tell the wife in charge. Of course, people will need it. offerings.Now that the elder wants to check the public treasury, it is obvious that he doesn't trust the wife in charge.
It's normal to not trust, after all, the housekeeper's head wife is not the eldest wife, but the second wife.In fact, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion are not stupid. They have no rules because they follow the example: the master can do what the second wife is in charge of the big family, but they can't talk about it?
Usually, it’s a matter of talking, but if they really let them check the public treasury with Jia She, these people want to shrink back: the second wife is in charge of the house, it was ordered by the old lady, and the old lady in the house is not only the oldest , she is also of the highest rank, not to mention that none of the two masters dare not listen to the old lady.
Of course, now that the old man wanted to check the public treasury, he didn't listen to the old lady's words, but it was because he didn't listen to the old lady's words that the consequences would be dire--when the old lady gets angry, the old man will definitely be cowardly, it doesn't matter if he is cowardly, The old lady just scolded him.But those who follow the old man, maybe they have to bear the name of provoking the master.The old lady can't hit the board of the son who has already attacked the noble, but the board of the servant can still be hit.
So after Jia Amnesty got Jia's mother's consent to check the public treasury, he found out embarrassingly that no one cooperated with him-he was the master. slave.Now that the servant refuses to step forward, Jia Amnesty is furious!
Yes, he didn't tell everyone that his Chaku was approved by the old lady, but he is still the head of the family, isn't he?Now the Patriarch wanted to check his own warehouse, but he couldn't be called attractive, which showed his status in the hearts of these slaves.
Feeling that I am being looked down upon by the slaves, Jia She's agitation also came up, you look down on me as the patriarch, well, I don't need you anymore.If Jia Zheng knew that checking a public treasury would not only obtain further evidence of Mrs. Wang's crime, but also directly lead Jia Amnesty to make up his mind to clean up the slaves who caused him headaches. He would definitely warn those people: no matter how unhappy the master is, he is still the master He's still a master who commits crimes from time to time, and it's not something you slaves who are still in the hands of others can compete with.
After tidying up Lai's house yesterday, Jia Amnesty still found a few available people in his East Courtyard.The slaves in the Rongguo Mansion couldn't be manipulated, so he sent someone to the East Courtyard to call those people over, and let them take over the keys and ledgers of the public treasury without saying a word: reconcile the accounts!
The servants in charge of the public treasury were dumbfounded. They just wanted to get a Joe so that the old man would know that they, the old people in the mansion, should not be treated like ordinary servants.Who knew that the elder would have someone replace them when he came up, so they all called Qu.Jia Amnesty only sneered at those people: "My lord, I checked the warehouse, and the old lady didn't say anything, but you slaves actually pushed back and forth. Come, show me these warehouse managers. If something doesn't match, ask them first."
Jia Amnesty's inspection of the warehouse was in full swing, but Jia Zheng's place was calm.Jia Amnesty just now mentioned the matter of asking for forgiveness, but it also reminded him: if he replaces an official in the future, because he is extra merciful today, he will also be asked to thank him.Even if his official is young, he doesn't know when the book will be delivered to the present, but he must write it.
Again, he didn't know how to write that sentence.You must know that there is still a literary prison at this time. If one fails, he will not be a gentleman praised by everyone, but will become a generation without father and king that everyone despises.Fortunately, Jia Zheng asked himself that his learning ability was not bad, so he asked someone to take out the original draft of Jia Daishan's booklet, and pondered over it while reading it.
After watching for a while, Jia Zheng still couldn't figure out what to do.I had no choice but to put down the research on the format of the memorial, and turn to reason about what I have done, what I will face, and what I will work hard in the future.
Although he has not been here for a long time, he has already done a lot: Jia She saw the hope of being the Patriarch, and has already begun to exercise the rights of the Patriarch in the Rongguo Mansion.With this article, Jia She's position in the Rongguo Mansion will be gradually established in the future, and there will be no more words about Jia Zheng stealing the position of Patriarch.The charge of prudence went to one.
As for the collection of Mrs. Wang's criminal evidence, especially when the Lai family exposed Jia Mu's secrets and she urgently needed someone to come out to take the blame, Mrs. Wang's housekeeping power is very likely to be lost, and there will be no more talk about the second room. Evacuated the big house.Another charge of prudence.
Cleaning up Lai Da's family will not only make the Rongguo Mansion one less moth, but also let the servants in the mansion know that no matter how much face the master usually gives, the master must be willing to give it.Once the master doesn't give face any more, the arrogant slaves will have to return to their original forms.At this moment, he didn't know that Jia Amnesty had already planned to clean up the servants in the mansion, and the effect was better than what he thought now.Slave bully the master, betray the master, domineering under the banner of the master, and then push the bad reputation on the master, and it will be eliminated as much as possible.The charges of lax family management have also been eliminated a lot.
And there is Mother Jia, even if Madam Wang was blamed, many people heard Lai Nanny's selfish words that day.Not to mention how well they were sons, the old lady had lost face in front of her two daughters-in-law, and if she wanted to tell her what to do in the future, she had to weigh whether they were laughing at her in her heart.As a result, Jiamu's hidden danger in Yiyantang in Rongguo Mansion was also relieved a little.
In this way, Jia Zheng felt that he was quite effective.It's just that these things can only be regarded as family affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and some of them can be regarded as family scandals, and there is no time to cover them up, let alone make troubles known to everyone.Therefore, Jia Zheng can only be regarded as leveling his own way of being a gentleman, which is still far from being praised by everyone.
Jia Zheng's thinking expanded, and he wanted to see what he should do so that people would know his Jia Zheng's name. He also liked the name and said what a gentleman does?Just seeking fame is not what a gentleman should do. For example, if the original owner was called a prudish, it was because Jia Mu helped build a good reputation in Rongguo Mansion, but people who came into contact with him found that the person had no name. How did he get such a bad name?
Just as he was thinking, someone asked Jia Zheng whether to put his lunch in the outer study or send it back to the inner courtyard.Only then did Jia Zheng remember that yesterday he tied up several people in the inner courtyard.And the masters of those people will definitely not wait for him to deal with her honestly.Maybe someone else has been sent to the Wang family for help now.
Jia Zheng walked towards the inner house, and Jia Zhu was waiting for him outside his inner study.The child's complexion was not much better, and even more serious.Jia Zheng knew what was going on, but the plane still smiled and asked, "Is Zhu'er here to eat with my father?"
Jia Zhu greeted Jia Zheng a little uncomfortably. Seeing that Jia Zheng's face was still gentle, she said cautiously: "When my son went to greet his wife today, the wife was not feeling well. Sister Zhou was not there either. She is the wife." People who are used to it, can the master..."
No wonder Wang Ziteng didn't come to the door this morning. Maybe Mrs. Wang was frightened by Wu Xindeng being tied up in the middle of the night last night.It's just that she doesn't know that her son's personality is sensitive and his mind is heavy. If he puts such dirty things between parents in front of the child, will it increase the child's worries?
Jia Zheng didn't answer Jia Zhu's words, but asked him, "After I left last night, did you sleep well? Did you feel more concentrated in studying this morning?"
Jia Zhu nodded and shook his head again: "My son didn't read much this morning." He looked at Jia Zheng's face while talking, and found that Jia Zheng's face was about to change, and hurriedly said, "But the books I read are easier to remember than in the past."
It's a pity that Jia Zheng's expression did not return to mildness.Jia Zheng just said to the people outside the door: "Go and see if Lian'er has eaten. If not, ask him to come and eat with me."
While waiting for Jia Lian, Jia Zhu was obviously out of his mind, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to comfort him: "Your wife has eight people if not ten, how can you only go to one Zhou Rui's house, and be hindered everywhere? It's just that your wife was deceived by Zhou Rui's family. Now that your wife is in good spirits, let a servant lead her by the nose, and after a few years, won't that servant just say whatever she wants?"
Jia Zhu felt that what the master said was reasonable, and it was for his wife's sake, so her little face finally turned pale.Jia Zheng took the opportunity and said, "You're a boy, and you'll be out and about in the future. Now you just need to concentrate on your studies and understand some human affairs."
Jia Zhu often heard the former sentence, but the latter sentence was always despised by his master. Jia Zhu couldn't help calling out suspiciously in a low voice: "Master?"
Jia Zheng said with a smile: "I also thought that as long as you have read the book well, other people will do the mundane affairs. It was only yesterday that I found out that the slaves at home were just because the wives were not allowed to leave the inner house. My son can only listen to their reports, but the old man and I don't care much about common affairs, so we even deceived the master. You are the eldest son of our house, and you can't suffer like me again, so this person □□ You still need to know something.”
Just as he was talking, Jia Lian had already come in, and after greeting Jia Zheng, he was listening to Jia Zheng saying, "Look at Lian'er, you can understand these things better, and you will see how he behaves in the future."
Yesterday, he said that he was in better health than Big Brother Zhu, so he asked Big Brother Zhu to go shopping with him in the garden.Today, he said that he understood, and let Big Brother Zhu watch him act.Although Jia Lian didn't know what Jia Zheng was referring to, he felt that his second uncle was his confidant. Not only did he not scold him for two days, but he always found his bright spots.
So Jia Lian, the unlucky boy, became excited all of a sudden: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, you can just stay with me in the future. I've taken down all the thieves in the school, and no one dares to bark their teeth."
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian with a red face, and said with a smile: "You go to school to win people?"
It was only then that Jia Lian realized that she was talking bald, and murmured, refusing to speak out.Jia Zheng also didn't intend to embarrass him, now is the time to ease the relationship with the two children, and cursing others with a straight face will only push the children further away.Fortunately, the meal was already set, so Jia Zheng only asked the two of them to wash their hands and eat.
He personally handed the soup to the two, and Jia Zheng took the two of them to eat.Unexpectedly, just after eating two mouthfuls, the servant outside the door announced: "Master is here." Jia Amnesty had already entered the room by himself.
"Second child," Jia She called to Jia Zheng, only to find that there were two younger children in the room: "Why are these two boys here?"
Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were a little dizzy from the "Second" just now, and they looked at each other and decided to pretend not to hear.Jia Zheng said: "I don't think so on weekdays. I saw the two brothers in the old lady's room that day, and realized that I hadn't spent much time with them. That's why I called them to have dinner with me in the past two days."
Jia She snorted, "It's women's business to raise children, but your mother-in-law is up now."
Jia Zheng said sternly: "My brother is missing. If it's a girl, her upbringing is a woman's business. It's just that Lian'er is going to become a prince in the future, and Zhu'er is my eldest son. They both have to support the family. Now they are all grown up." Naturally, we should teach them some principles of human relations, so that the slaves will not dare to coax them." After hearing this, the two children straightened up a lot.
Thinking about the fact that the slaves in my family are so bold, it's really because I don't care about it.Jia Amnesty flamboyantly ignored the fact that Jia's mother didn't give him the opportunity to intervene in the phone, and felt that Jia Zheng's words were not unreasonable: "Well, I really ignored it when you put it this way. Come on, send my The food is also delivered."
Jia Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he asked someone to serve Jia She's bowls and chopsticks first: I'm really waiting for Jia She's food to arrive, Jia Zhu and the others' food will be completely cold.After dinner, he asked Jia Lian to take Jia Zhu to stroll around the garden before taking a rest. Jia Zheng then asked Jia Amnesty why he came.
Jia Amnesty took out a few pieces of paper from his boot pages, and said to Jia Zheng, "It's not that I'm stingy as an elder brother, but if your daughter-in-law wants to show off something, who can say anything? It's just this." It's too greedy."
Even though he never regarded Mrs. Wang as his daughter-in-law in his heart, Jia Zheng still blushed: the daughter-in-law in name is also a daughter-in-law!Husband and wife are one, and Mrs. Wang has done something embarrassing, but Jia Zheng is truly honorable.If it wasn't for the fact that he gave Jia Amnesty the idea of checking the public treasury, maybe Jia Amnesty would have even suspected Jia Zheng. These few pages were not shown to him first, but sent directly to the clan to open the ancestral hall. .
After saluting Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng said, "It's because I don't manage the family strictly that makes Mrs. Wang so courageous. I'll ask her now."
Jia Amnesty was not too polite, mainly because the servants were still angry with them in the morning, so he naturally wanted to take his anger out on Mrs. Wang, the head wife.What's more, the head wife was still moving things out of his warehouse. Jia She has never been a big-hearted person.
With those few pieces of paper, Jia Zheng appeared in Mrs. Wang's yard for the first time today.Just overnight, the courtyard that used to be crowded with people suddenly became quiet. Even the servants who were serving were careful not to speak loudly, for fear of offending the master who was in charge of mundane affairs for some reason or A lady who is obviously in a bad mood.
Ignoring the courteous smirks of those women, and seeing the fast-legged little girl running in to report, Jia Zheng just put on a face and entered the main room.It was Yuan Chun who didn't want to pick him up: "Greetings, master."
Jia Zheng was still a little awkward when facing Yuan Chun, but it was not as natural as when he faced Jia Zhu and Jia Lian: "Why are you here? Have you ever eaten?"
Yuan Chun said with a smile: "My wife is not feeling well today, my daughter came to talk to my wife. I have already used it with my wife, and my wife also got a bowl of rice."
In front of him is nothing but a child who wants to please his father.Jia Zheng thought, with himself around, Yuan Chun would not be allowed to enter the palace, and Aunt Zhao had already been dispatched as a reserve, so Jia Tanchun would not show up either. He should have sighed that it was impossible to get everything together, so why should he bother with it? last life.
"Well, you should go back and have a rest too." Jia Zheng's expression softened a little.
Yuan Chun was very good at reading people's faces, and hurriedly said: "Yes. Master, Madam is not feeling well yet." He said something kindly.
Jia Zheng just nodded his head, and asked Yuan Chun to be sent back, regardless of whether she turned around every step of the way.Mrs. Wang could clearly hear the conversation between the father and daughter, and she could also hear Yuan Chun's plea in his last words, so when Jia Zheng entered the room, she looked at him hopefully.
If he can relax his mind towards the child, he will not be so kind to Mrs. Wang. Jia Zheng's face turned cold again, and he shouted at Liu Yun: "Take people down, watch at the door, no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go around. Rumors chew your tongue."
Liu Yun responded, and went down without even daring to look at Mrs. Wang.Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Zheng felt that the scene outside the door should also be cleared, so he asked Mrs. Wang, "Then what do you plan to do with Zhou Rui's family?"
Mrs. Wang said cautiously: "Let them go to Zhuangzi?"
Jia Zheng shook his head, and handed the papers to her: "Look at the things on them, are they familiar? My brother checked the public treasury this morning, you don't know?"
Why don't you know, it is precisely because you know but can't do anything that Mrs. Wang is uncomfortable.It's just that there are some things here that she has never seen before, so she has to argue: "Master Mingjian..."
Jia Zheng said expressionlessly, "It's just that I don't have a clear lesson on weekdays, which made you so courageous. I sent my companion out of the house in the middle of the night, even disregarding the court's curfew?"
This is another place where I let the master catch me. Mrs. Wang had to lower her head: "It's all my fault when I saw the master was angry yesterday. I was so confused. I wanted my brother to persuade me to make peace."
Jia Zheng made Mrs. Wang annoyed, who said she was stupid: "Oh? Let your brother come to persuade you to make peace in the middle of the night, and you are not afraid of scaring your brother?" Call the door?
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "I was in a hurry for a while."
Jia Zheng tapped the few pieces of paper in her hand with his chin: "I'm afraid these things were not taken out in a short period of time, or they were lost in a hurry and forgot to put them back?"
Mrs. Wang is angry, why did she come back again?Could it be that when he mentioned his elder brother just now, he actually told himself not to be afraid, and that his elder brother came to support him?Thinking about what Jia Zheng said just now, what would call the door in the middle of the night, Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly jumped: Except for the eight-hundred-mile military situation and funeral reports, which do not violate the curfew, everything else is included in the list of offenders!
She asked someone to find Wang Ziteng, of course it was not in the military situation, although it seemed urgent to her.Mrs. Wang didn't dare to think about the remaining option.
Jia Zheng didn't care what she was thinking, he just asked, "Have you seen all the things above?"
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth to pieces: "Master should also think about Zhu'er and Yuan Chun. If my dowry is paid, what will happen to the two children in the future?" Mrs. Wang really hates it, but you don't I didn't hear Madam Lai's words, your old lady also has a share in taking things from the public treasury, why do you have to keep it on yourself?If it is true that you have to pay it yourself, it is not enough to pay your own dowry! !
Jia Zheng nodded: "That's right, I also know what to do with Zhu'er and Yuanchun. It's just that when you were doing these things, did you think about what would happen to the two children if they were exposed? If my brother didn't hand over the list to me first Instead, send them to the clan or directly to Shuntian Mansion, so that everyone will know that Zhu Er and Yuan Chun have a mother who is a thief, so what about the two children?"
Jia Zheng's voice was really not high, it was much lower than when Zhou Rui's family took out Mrs. Wang's interest book yesterday, but when she heard Mrs. Wang's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, completely killing her. Shocked: "No, this is a family scandal. The old man would not do this. If he did, everyone would say that he is not strict with his family."
"So that's what you came up with." Jia Zheng's voice became calmer: "If you have something to do, you can push it to others, and if you have something to gain, you can take it yourself. Mrs. Wang, who do you think you are? And which family do you think your Wang family is from?" ?”
Mrs. Wang was speechless.How ugly my mind is, I can find a reasonable explanation from myself, such as thinking about the future of my little family, so that the children can live a better life in the future.But once something needs to find an excuse, it shows that it is not reasonable.Now that Jia Zheng pointed it out, Mrs. Wang had to admit this reality.
"Take out your dowry list." Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang again.
Can Mrs. Wang not take it?Even the excuse of not feeling well can't be used.She finally understood that if she dared to use this excuse, Jia Zheng would dare to find an imperial physician.Wasn't he the one who would be ashamed by then?So Jia Zheng had a thick stack of dowry lists in his hands.
It's really a generous marriage for the Wang family to marry a daughter.Looking at the thick dowry list, Jia Zheng sighed inwardly.I can't help thinking that in the original book, Wang Ziteng himself has no son, but he seems to have a daughter.Could it be that from Mrs. Wang's generation, the Wang family already knew that their offspring would be difficult in the future, so they couldn't wait to transfer all the wealth to their daughters?
Don't blame Jia Zheng for being unkind. In this era of strong clan values, for a family without an heir, after the master leaves, the wealth must go back to the clan.Otherwise, in the original book, Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's house for so long, why didn't anyone from the Lin family come to see her?Not to mention that the relationship with Lin Daiyu is too far away, there is no family relationship, the ancient people's clan concept is still very strong.Even the orphans in the clan have to prepare a dowry when they get married.No one in the Lin family asked about Lin Daiyu. It was definitely not because Jia's mother said that "they are all dead", but because they were dissatisfied with the Jia family's control of the Lin family's property.
Withdrawing his long-term thoughts, Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang: "I will send someone to invite your brother over to the house. What do you want to say to your brother?"
Now Mrs. Wang is really scared. After all, what she did is not decent. Now that Jia Zheng wants to ask the prince to leave the house, he can only discuss how to deal with her.Just now when Jia Zheng asked for her dowry list, he had an explanation. Instead of asking her to accompany the money, he asked her to leave with her dowry.
With a bang, Mrs. Wang knelt down to Jia Zheng: "Master, for the sake of the two children, please forgive me this time. Master, I have been a filial son to the Duke for three years." .”
It's not very strong to say that the child is really strong, but when it comes to keeping filial piety for Jia Daishan for three years, it makes people toothache.Even though it is less than a month away from filial piety, if Jia Zheng divorces Mrs. Wang at this juncture, his reputation will be unnecessary: he has kept filial piety for your father for 26 months. Yes, you divorced him in the last month, didn't you have ulterior motives?What's more, they gave birth to a son and a daughter for you? !
Don't talk about the evidence in your hand. The Jia family really dare not show it to others. It's too late to hide it from others.The reason is similar to what Mrs. Wang said just now. Once Jia Daishan left, the family members of Rongguo Mansion were no longer as good as before.But whoever is an official does not have one or two political enemies, those people are staring wide-eyed, waiting to take advantage of the Rongguo Mansion.If you release the evidence in your hand, isn't that for others?
But Jia Zheng didn't want Mrs. Wang to pass the test so easily, this woman is too courageous, this time she must let her know how to write when she is afraid.Jia Zheng wanted to be a gentleman, and having an old lady who was focused on dragging his legs was already troublesome enough, but with a prodigal daughter-in-law, he was not far from the prudence in the original book.
Without leaving a word, Jia Zheng left Mrs. Wang's main room, and he did not forget to tell the girl guarding the door: "Madam is not feeling well, let those housekeepers go back to the eldest lady if they have something to do. Zhu'er and Yuan Chun don't need to greet, save Got sick."
No matter what was broken in the room, it couldn't stop Jia Zheng from leaving, but the suddenly angry master made the servants in the yard realize that in this house, it is not the wife who is really in charge.So Yuan Chun, who came to take care of Mrs. Wang in the afternoon, could only return to his yard with a pensive expression.
Now Wang Ziteng, who is in Rongxi's dignified state, is not looking contemplative, but looking at the things in his hand with a constipated expression.He had to go through this experience: Mrs. Wang's companion, Shan Daliang's family, had been waiting outside the Wang's house early on. As soon as the door opened, she rushed to Wang Ziteng and told her about Mrs. Wang asking for help from her natal family.Even if Wang Ziteng didn't want to come forward, he still had to. If he didn't come, what would people think of the Wang family and the married daughter of the Wang family?
But what if it comes?What is before him now is not only the evidence of Mrs. Wang's interest in what Shan Daliang's family said, but also the evidence of Mrs. Wang's taking things from the public treasury to her private house since she took over the house.It's no wonder Wang Ziteng's complexion looks better.
"Cunzhou, my younger sister was also surrounded by Jin Peiyu since she was a child, and her dowry was also 30 to [-] yuan. Did Cun Zhou misunderstand her younger sister?" No matter what, Wang Ziteng had to draw an alliance. The owner, Jia Amnesty, was impossible, but his younger sister You can count on the person next to your pillow, right?
It can only be said that Wang Ziteng only knew the original owner, not the current Jia Zheng: "Master Wang, do you want to see your sister's dowry list, and then look at the things in the private treasury now?" Jia Zheng is no longer called brother-in-law , a Lord Wang put the distance between the two of them apart, and put the dowry list he got from Mrs. Wang on the small table next to Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng just choked. Doesn't this Jia Cunzhou know that no matter how many things his sister takes, they will belong to their children in the future?Why don't you help your sister to talk now, instead vent your anger with Jia She?
Jia Amnesty sneered from the presidency: "Lord Wang, don't worry about someone framing Lingmei. Wang's companions are still locked up in the firewood room. How about having them brought here?" We also have witnesses.
Wang Ziteng's face became even more ugly: "No need." It's just that there is no way to do it like this. The Jia family obviously doesn't intend to let their sister go easily. He clasped his fists: "Sister She has done such a thing, and I have no face to intercede for her. It's just that she has been in Jia's family for more than ten years, and she has a son and a daughter. Just for the sake of the children, please take care of it. If General Jia If you have any other requirements, please show them in person."
Seeing Wang Ziteng's resigned expression, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.Speaking of which, Jia Amnesty was still a little cowardly towards Wang Ziteng, one was relying on his ancestral shadow, and the other was being an official by his own ability, so it's normal to be cowardly.Fortunately, before the prince came, Jia Zheng had already encouraged Jia Amnesty: Now it is the daughter of the Wang family who made a mistake, and it is not only the Jia family who is trying to cover up, but the Wang family is even more anxious!
So Jia Amnesty also punched Wang Ziteng: "Vice General Wang, you are being polite. It's just that my second child also asked Mrs. Wang about some things that were not in the treasury, and she didn't see them in her private treasury either. I wonder if she accidentally got it mixed up when she was giving the ceremony on weekdays."
The prince is so angry, this Jia family is too pushy, not only humiliated him, but also want him to spend money to avoid disaster?It's just that the words have been spoken, and the Rongguo Mansion can't really abandon Mrs. Wang and go home. The prince can only admit this secret loss in front of him: "I don't know what is missing, and I ask General Jia to point it out, so I can return." Check out one or two at home."
Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief quietly.The second child is right, the Wang family is indeed more anxious than my own.So honestly and bluntly, he pointed out half of the things.Can Wang Ziteng let Mrs. Wang come out to confront him?Jia She had no choice but to point out the same thing, and he gritted his teeth to admit the same thing. After calculation, there are already more than [-] things.
Fortunately, Jia Amnesty knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good, and stopped before Wang Ziteng exploded.Wang Ziteng also had no intention and no shame to stay any longer, but he just hugged the two of them, and it was useless to even give it away, and went home to prepare the money by himself.
"Second," Jia She said with a guilty conscience, looking at Wang Ziteng's murderous back, "We have offended the Wang family this time."
Just to offend them.Now Jia Zheng is eager to stay as far away from the so-called four princes and four families as possible, so he is not worried at all: "So what if I offend you?"
Jia Amnesty's awareness of patriarchy just now made him say: "The four major families have always been in touch with each other, and they will help each other."
Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "Brother, you have thought about it. Once you get the booklet and ask for a new plaque and pay back the money owed to the treasury, the Wang family will not be the only ones to offend."
Jia She was dumbfounded: "Didn't it mean that the father's will is not a serious problem?"
Jia Zheng had no choice but to say, "It's just that there is nothing wrong with it on the surface. Those people dare not deal with us openly."
Now Jia Amnesty quit and didn't want to pay back the money. Now that he knows that he will offend someone, it's not just one or two people, so what's the point: "Then I won't pay back the money."
Jia Zheng wanted to slap himself, but he forgot that Jia Amnesty was also a money-grubbing person at heart.It's just that the words are spoken by oneself, and if you want to be round, you have to come by yourself: "Brother, did you forget what you said yesterday? Offended those people, but there are fewer people coming and going. But offending the royal family, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe immediately."
Counseling is cowarding, even a counseling who just blackmailed someone else cherishes his own life very much.When Jia She heard that if he didn't pay back the debt, his family might be ruined, and no matter when the disaster would come, he directly dragged Jia Zheng to continue discussing the matter of making a deal.
The two discussed the general idea, and then asked someone to invite the clerk who had been with Jia Daishan over, and several people edited and edited together, and finally wrote a notebook.
Before waiting for the booklet to be sent out, Mother Jia sent someone to invite Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng again.Jia Zhengsheng was afraid that Jia's mother would say something he disagreed with later, so he asked someone to hand over the paper first, and then came to see Jia's mother with Jia Amnesty.
Mother Jia actually wanted to ask about Prince Teng's visit.Speaking of which, although Wang Ziteng's current official position is only a lieutenant general in the Beijing camp, he can be regarded as a rare success among a group of noble dudes.Therefore, no matter how high-sighted Jia Mu was, she had to pay more attention to Wang Ziteng.
Because of the importance of it, even though the Jia family took full advantage of this matter, Jia's mother was still a little nervous.Her own son knew that the boss was a coward, and he didn't know whether he could speak neatly in front of Wang Ziteng.As for Jia Zheng, even if he spoke in an orderly manner to himself yesterday, his impression of being uncommon cannot be changed all at once.
Therefore, Jia's mother has no idea about the negotiation between her two sons and Wang Ziteng.But Jia She and the two brothers were too busy discussing how to get the discount, and neither of them thought of talking to Jia Mu about the result of the negotiation. She could only ask someone to call them: "What is the result? You have to talk to me." Talk about it.
Jia Amnesty still felt a little guilty, but Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously.It's really not that Jia Zheng learned machismo in such a short period of time, but when he was reading the original book, he had to intervene in everything about Jia's mother.
"Wang, what do you think we should do?" After hearing the results of their negotiations with Wang Ziteng, Jia's mother naturally wanted to ask Jia Zheng's plan.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty, and then said to Jia's mother, "Let the old lady be the master."
Jia's mother also looked at Jia She, just now Jia She showed off his achievements against Wang Ziteng.Regardless of whether the eldest son has really grown up or not, it's really not easy to hit him directly now - what Lai Nanny said yesterday, the sound has not yet fallen.
Jia Amnesty took Jiamu's winking eyes just now as encouragement, and he just bit off a piece of meat from the Wang family, so he was in a good mood: "Just say what the old lady has to say."
Then Jia Mu said: "If you say what Wang did, she would not be too exaggerated even if she divorced. It's just like what Wang said, at least it depends on Zhuer and Yuanchun, and the children can't be left alone. Besides, your daughter-in-law is also unworthy, and someone has to take care of this family. "
Jia Zheng felt bad when he heard it, even Jia She's eyes were wide open, and he hurriedly said: "The old lady will show her face, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed to see people herself. It's better to let her have nothing to do on weekdays." Son, copy the scriptures and pray for the children more. As for the housekeeper, isn’t there a big wife?”
Jia Mu just said, "She never took care of the house."
Jia Zheng said: "The eldest wife has been in the field for a few years, and I don't see any major problems in my brother's yard. In this mansion, there are only more people than my brother's yard. Besides, sooner or later, there will be more people in this mansion. Brother, it happens that the old lady is showing the eldest lady, so let her practice more."
The thing Jiamu doesn't like to hear the most is that sooner or later this house will be Jia Amnesty's words, so what will her old man do: "Nonsense, what's yours and mine. Now our family is going to be a filial piety. It's time for you brothers to support each other. Why do you have to say things like that?"
Old lady, if you secretly change concepts like this, you really think others are fools, right?Jia Zhengzhi
