Hearing Jia She confidently say that this is a matter that has been discussed, Mother Jia was so angry, I just let them go back at that time, I would think about it, why did I write the script before expressing my thoughts? ?

Mother Jia was angry, and she squeezed her words through her teeth: "Don't be in a hurry to hand over the booklet. You have to say hello to my old relatives, otherwise people will think that we don't even recognize my old relatives." gone."

Jia Zheng smiled wryly and said, "Old lady, the booklet has already been handed out. Besides, we have already lost face with the Wang family."

Mother Jia was willing to listen to Jia Zheng's words, but she heard that she and the Wang family had already broken each other. Even if the Wang family was secretly proud of being able to make up for the loss of the public treasury just now, Mother Jia was still worried about Jia Zheng: "That's you. Yue family."

Jia Zheng said: "It is precisely because it is my Yue family that we should have less contact with each other. The Wang family's actions are too harsh."

This is not a shortcoming in the eyes of Jiamu. The four princes and eight princes are all military-born figures. Even after the founding of the country, they gradually pay attention to rules and etiquette, but their behavior is nothing more than four things: "It's just for the errands. Pay more attention."

"It's not just an errand. The old lady thinks about Wang's sister becoming the mistress of the Xue family. What else does she not understand? This food is too ugly. I'm afraid that once we become filial piety, if the elder brother can't fill the real job , Wang Ziteng wants to use our family's connections, should we give it or not? It's better to tear up the face with him now, so that he can't speak up. Besides, Zhu'er is a student, and Wang Ziteng is just a military officer. , and can’t be counted on.” Jia Zheng told Jia’s mother that he was able to analyze it very well.

Jia Mu also silently calculated.Now Wang Ziteng is not the pillar of the four major families, but a junior who seems to be promising.Even if there is an in-law relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, it can't compare to his own children and grandchildren.Mother Jia just doesn't like Jia Amnesty any more, but that's her own son, and she doesn't hand over connections to her children and grandchildren, but to the prince. Mother Jia is not that noble.Now there is no Mrs. Wang around, so she feels that Jia Zheng is right.

Jia Amnesty felt that Jia Zheng did nothing wrong, and even felt that Jia Zheng made the sacrifice for him: "Second brother, thank you so much. When the Wang family sends the money, you can just keep it." Sacrifice Jia Zheng didn't even want any assistance, so he still needed some silver compensation.

Mother Jia felt that Jia Amnesty was beginning to please her eyes: "Well, Zheng'er should have some private house too. This is given to you by your brother, so you have to take care of it." Don't give it to the Wang family.

No need to look, Jia Zheng knew that Jia She's complexion was not good.He is not Jia's mother, so he can't take Jia Amnesty's politeness for granted. Besides, a gentleman is ashamed of profit. What is it called if he directly collects money from others: "Mother, our family is about to pay back the money from the treasury. If we can pay more, our children and grandchildren will pay off in the future." It can also be more generous. So the money should be returned to the national treasury. Besides, this is what the Wang family returned to the public."

Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty's expressions changed because of Jia Zheng's words.In Jia's mother's view, Jia Zheng's family cannot inherit the title, and the division of the family will be less than Jia's amnesty in the future, so they should get more now.It's just that Jia Amnesty was right next to her, no matter how partial she was, she couldn't scold Jia Zheng for being rude in front of Jia Amnesty, she felt extremely aggrieved.

Fortunately, Jia She is a bit of a mixed bag, a bit greedy for money, but he still knows the principle of going back and forth: "You have a share in the public, but it's a bit earlier. Even if you are embarrassed to get it, you can take half of it." alright."

Jia Zheng didn't refuse anymore, he still had a lot of things to do, and he needed some money in his hand to do activities.You can't clean up Mrs. Wang on the front foot, and let others subsidize you with dowry money on the back foot. You can be scum to Mrs. Wang, but this scum also has a bottom line.

Mother Jia said that such a result was not satisfactory, and she didn't bring up the matter again, but talked about other things: "Seeing that the day of filial piety is getting closer, let someone clean up the Rongqing Hall tomorrow, and I will live in it." .”

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng tensed up, waiting for Jia Mu's next words.The old lady didn't keep them waiting: "It's just that I'm getting old and I'm used to living with Zheng'er's family. How about letting Zheng'er move into Rongxi Hall and be filial to me?"

not good!When Jia Zhengdun wrote the original novel, he never understood why the brothers and sisters that ordinary people want to see become black-eyed chickens in Jiamu's place?If she was trying to find a balance between her two sons for her own position on the spire of the pagoda, it was obvious that she had failed.Didn't Jia Amnesty tell jokes in front of her that were biased? On weekdays, besides sending Mrs. Xing to serve her mother-in-law, he didn't even have a face-to-face fight with Jia's mother?

As for Jia Zheng and his family, it was not much better. Mrs. Wang not only suppressed the big house, but even Jia Mu was pushed aside in the end.And the original owner is a duplicitous scum, who speaks so filially on the surface, and the children of the enemy's family have to weigh what they do.

So later, Jia's mother could only joke with her grandchildren, because her two sons and daughter-in-law were unwilling to answer her.Want to get the honor on the top of the pagoda, but in the end only get the desolation of the high place, can this be called the art of balance?

Therefore, Jia Zheng had to object, and he was the only one who could object: "Old lady! The etiquette and law must not be abolished. Elder brother is a man who inherits the title, and he doesn't live in a dignified hall. How can we socialize with others? And what do people think of our Jia family? Even the spirit of my father, who is in heaven, does not wish to see our brothers regardless of seniority or juniority, and disorderly status."

Who am I doing this for?Mother Jia wanted to shout at Jia Zheng, but she looked at Jia Amnesty who was still watching, and when Jia Zheng mentioned Jia Daishan, she remembered the dream that Jia Zheng mentioned to her yesterday: It turns out that if Zheng'er had feelings for her Ruo Wu's flattery, he accepted it calmly. Today, he first gave up the money, and then gave up the Rongxi Hall, which symbolizes the position of the head of the family. Could it be that the Duke of the country really scolded him hard?

It's just that now that I am the elder of the family, what I said was dismissed by those who benefited from it, and Mother Jia felt that it was shameless: "Socializing, your brother is just taking a job, no worse than you, you have to go to the ministry to do it." Officer, what social entertainment can he have?"

"Old lady, even if my father has gone to our Rongguo Mansion, it can still be regarded as a high-ranking family in Beijing. There are many old relatives and old friends. How can there be no social activities? The sage rewards my official, but it is just a small one. The master is still in the Ministry of Industry, can the officials of the sixth rank have more contacts than the first-class generals?" Jia Zheng's tone was calm, but every sentence he said was irrefutable.

Jia's mother was so angry that she fell back: "I'm not here for this family. You are an unfilial son. Did you clean up your daughter-in-law, and now I'm an eyesore? Well, I'll go back to Jinling, just to guard your father's spirit! I won't be here to hinder you Eyes! If you find your little wives to drink again, no one will dare to bother you!"

"Mother!" Jia Zheng knelt heavily on the ground, the voice made Jia Amnesty's teeth ache, but he still knelt down.Jia Zheng really didn't want to give in to the old lady, but to make her angry-even though everyone is preparing for the filial piety, there are still a few days left.Everyone may not be so well-behaved in the late period of filial piety. How could Shi Shi make such a big noise like Jia Mu for fear that others would not know about it?

Hearing Jia Zheng's loud call for mother, Jia's mother also knew that what she just said was too much.Jia Mu was not in the mood to answer Jia Amnesty, but no matter whether it was the original owner or Jia Zheng, they had truly guarded themselves like jade in the past three years.But can Mother Jia say that she was wrong?Once you admit your mistake, you have to admit your mistake back!

"Since the mother feels that her son's filial piety is dishonest, the son will ask someone to submit a letter tomorrow and resign from the official position rewarded by the sage. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this in the future, and losing the face of the Rongguo Mansion. By the way, it should be the first-class general's mansion." Now, you can’t make your elder brother tired because of your son, so please separate your family and leave the house.” Jia Zheng’s face was livid, and he confessed his guilt, but every sentence made her feel more uncomfortable than piercing Jia’s mother’s heart.

If I resign from the official I personally rewarded today, what future can I talk about in the future?After separating from the family, wouldn't he just have to watch the boss dance there by himself?Mother Jia was depressed. Even if she no longer wanted to appease Jia Zheng, she still knew how stubborn her youngest son was.He had no choice but to say: "I was the one who said it in a hurry, your sincerity in keeping your filial piety can be seen by everyone."

Do you have to hold one and step on the other to talk?Jia Zheng asked the sky speechlessly, and Jia Amnesty said that he was not surprised, anyway, that's how he came here these years.Only Mother Jia didn't realize that her words were still wrong. What she cared about was another question: "How much money are you going to pay this time?"

This brother Jia She has already said in the brochure that the first time he still owes money, it is too little, after all, so many years have passed.Too much doesn't work, it makes people think that they are rich, but it's not good if they don't want to pay it back.So the final result is to pay half of it first, and pay off the rest in ten years.Therefore, counting ten years, it was Jia Zheng who calculated the time of the original work and set it: Jia Yuanchun is now 11 years old, and he is still two years away from the youngest age for the draft.She came out after ten years in the palace, so the Rongguo Mansion still has at least ten years of security.

Mother Jia heard that the book had already been clarified, so she stopped talking. It was obvious that if the book was not returned, she couldn’t really bargain with the royal family—they didn’t force you. I don't want to pay so much, I'm afraid the royal family won't clean up themselves, right?

"Okay, you guys go back and rest too." Mother Jia waved her hand feebly. She knew that no one would listen to what she said in the mansion. It's a sad thing.

It is not a good feeling to watch an old man slump in front of him.It's just that Jia Zheng knew that this was really not the time to be soft-hearted.The old lady in front of him had a heart no smaller than Mrs. Wang's, and her combat power was no weaker than Mrs. Wang's. If he really dared to soften his heart for a moment, the plot of the original novel would unfold in front of him without any mistakes.

"Madam, please rest well." Jia Zheng bowed to the old lady and said, "Brother, tomorrow I have to trouble my wife to arrange a staff to clean out the Rongqing hall."

Naturally, Jia Amnesty agreed straightforwardly, and almost patted his chest to promise.Mother Jia felt that her two sons were divorced from her, and she couldn't see them anymore.After the two left the Hall of Honor, Jia She clasped his fists to Jia Zheng and said, "Thank you just now."

Jia Zheng smiled calmly: "Whatever brother said, I was just telling the truth."

It's the truth that makes it hard to tell.For example, even though Jia Amnesty was present the whole time just now, he couldn't interrupt a word, and just let Jia Zheng and the old lady stand there.Sure enough, no noble family could raise a truly incompetent child. In the original book, Jia She looked weak and incompetent, but the Rongguo Mansion was convicted of so many crimes for confiscating the house, and Jia She was actually a traffic official.You said that Wang Xifeng was also a member of the big family, but Wang Xifeng was with Mrs. Wang, so she didn't consider herself a part of the big family.

Thinking of Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng realized that not only did he not think to inform Jia's mother about the situation of Prince Tenglai, but Mrs. Wang was probably waiting for the result.What is this called? After the battle between the old lady and the daughter-in-law, is there really endless life and endless fighting?She cupped her hands at Jia Amnesty: "Brother, I have to go back and explain to Mrs. Wang, and send the account book and keys to the eldest lady. As for where we should live, brother will make the arrangements."

Jia Amnesty was a little embarrassed: "Let's talk about it after the old lady moves."

Jia Zheng shook his head: "It's better to make an appointment early, so everyone can feel at ease. Besides, it's convenient to clean up together. Even if the eldest wife manages the house, it will be easier to get started. Please let me know how many slaves we should use in time, so that we don't have to worry about it." When I got it, I broke the rules."

Jia Amnesty was so touched, he looked at Jia Zheng more pleasingly than ever before.He even left it to himself to decide to abolish the slaves of his first room, the second child really did not lose his reputation of integrity.Well, the old lady's other words are unreliable, but her evaluation of the second child is not wrong at all.He nodded at Jia Zheng: "Don't worry, being an older brother won't make you suffer."

Jia Zheng said goodbye to Jia Amnesty again before returning to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.As if in just one day, the anger in the yard was taken away, and everyone tried to minimize their sense of existence.Jia Zheng understood why Mrs. Wang had to hold on to the power of the housekeeper: women in this era live in this square courtyard, and they don't have many opportunities to go out, so they can only hold on to what they can see .

Even if he understood, Jia Zheng didn't sympathize with the current Mrs. Wang.He picked up the former owner's airs again and drank all the girls out.Mrs. Wang looked at him with fear and anger, quietly waiting for him to speak.

"Your brother came here this afternoon." Jia Zheng had no intention of showing off: "It is said that the Wang family has no abandoned daughter, so I beg the elder to let you go once for the sake of the two children. It's just a housekeeper's business in the future. You are not in good health." Alright, I beg the Elder Lord to ask someone else to be smart. In addition, for the things you moved from the public house, if you don’t have them in your house or private treasury, your brother is willing to go home and have a look, and see if he missed it during the ceremony in the past.”

Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back her tears at last: "The master is so cruel." What about the elder, what would he know if he hadn't been tipped off by the person next to his pillow, who only knew about the elder at home all day long?

Jia Zheng said: "It's also for your own good. You haven't seen the things that the old man collected from Lai's house yesterday, so naturally you don't know how brave these servants are. It turns out that they eat meat and the old lady drinks soup. How about you?" A good slave, Zhou Rui's family, although they are no better than the Lai family, they are as good as you."

Mrs. Wang didn't believe it: "Impossible!"

Jia Zheng just smiled at this moment: "It's up to you to believe it or not. It's just that I don't want to see such a slave again. Just treat it like the Lai family. The people around you should also clean up. All the ones brought from the Wang family should be sent to Zhuangzi. The eldest wife will send the better ones over."

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and asked: "Even if the master is dissatisfied with me, why should he humiliate my natal family? All these years, my elder brother and the master have gotten along well, but in exchange for the master's treatment, let those old relatives know, who will not say that the master A cold voice."

"You also said that those are just old relatives. In the future, the old man will be the master of the house, and the old man will be the one who socializes and socializes with the old relatives. I am a small master, and I am afraid that our elders with high eyesight Dear friends, I haven't taken it seriously." Jia Zheng said that he didn't care about such a threat.

"What the old lady and I are asking for, the master doesn't know at all, has no idea at all, never had the same idea?" Mrs. Wang bit her lip and asked the question in her heart.

Obviously, although Jia Zheng couldn't help much in the past, he enjoyed the benefits he got with peace of mind. She didn't believe that he really didn't know anything, and he had no idea at all.If you want to stop yourself, you didn't stop it three years ago. When the Duke was around, he kept showing that he was suppressing Jia Amnesty.Now he suddenly said that he had never thought about anything about Rongguo Mansion, what a lie!

It's just that Jia Zheng is unwilling to leave Mrs. Wang with a glimmer of hope: "What thoughts, what thoughts? You are mean and despicable, and you think that everyone else is like you? Fortunately, you are still a Buddhist. Think about what you have committed. How many commandments?"

He opened his eyes and refused to accept the debt, Mrs. Wang had nothing to do with him, so she continued to cry and said: "I only hope for the day when the family is separated, Master, don't regret it."

Jia Zheng nodded and said: "I seek benevolence and get benevolence, and I will not regret it. It's just that although your brother has acknowledged some things, it is still not complete. You pack those things and have someone deliver them to your brother at night. "

It's not enough to take away her own housekeeping rights, take away her money for interest, and embezzle her mother's money. She even asked herself to take out things. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she said, "Is it possible that I was the only one using those things?" No way? Where did the things in the master's study come from? Could it be that the things in Zhu'er and Yuanchun's house were blown by the strong wind?!"

Jia Zheng was not moved at all: "I will have people look at the things in the two children's rooms one by one. Anything that is not in the account will be sent back to my brother. As for the things in my study, they have already been cleaned up in the morning." I went back to the public treasury. I asked you to find someone to deliver things yourself, just to save your face, can it be that I really have no one available?"

It's to save face for himself again. What he has done in the past few days really wants to save face for himself?It's just that she can't say such words. After all, her natal brothers have all returned home, and no matter how much she fights, it will be futile.The days are still long, Mrs. Wang thought to herself, there will always be a day when she regains power.

Who doesn't want to be the master of the family, with such motivation, Jia She and Mrs. Xing's action is unprecedentedly high.Not only did they arrange for people to tidy up the Rongqing hall early the next day, but they also cleaned up the west courtyard as well.Jia Zheng just laughed when he heard that, look, he said that Jia Amnesty is not really ignorant of things, he also knows that the East Courtyard where he lives now is the place where the heir should live, and he only intends to give the west courtyard to him. Jia Zheng's family lives.

But Jia Zheng didn't take it too seriously. The old lady's Rongqingtang, in the original book, could support three granddaughters plus one Jia Baoyu. Naturally, there would be no place for Jia Yuanchun's granddaughter now.As for Jia Zhu, it's time to move to the outer courtyard. The child has already been forced by Yuan Zhu and Mrs. Wang, so it's better to put it in the outer courtyard.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng just sent a message to Jia Amnesty, reminding him that the two boys are grown up, and two yards in the outer courtyard will be cleaned up for them to live in.Even the maids around her can be cut, as long as they are just servants.Jia Amnesty also thought it was reasonable, since it was a ground-breaking anyway, it would not take too much trouble to clean it up.

As for the reason why Jia Amnesty worked so hard, he himself did not admit that Mrs. Wang gave him several boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings overnight.Although he originally thought that if he could get the compensation from the Wang family, the things from Mrs. Wang would be ignored.He just once again expressed his admiration for Jia Zheng's character: If it were him, he would never take things out again.

In this way, the large-scale relocation of the Rongguo Mansion had already begun before the official reply to their papers was received.First, the old lady and Yuan Chun moved into Rongqing Hall, then the two boys moved into the independent courtyard of the outer courtyard, and finally Jia Zheng's family moved into the west courtyard.

This courtyard is actually much larger than the one in the Rongxi Hall, with the size of three entrances. There is also a moon gate connected to the main house. When the gate is closed, the front and back yards are clearly separated.Not to mention that there are only Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhou, even if Jia Zheng adds another person to the house, there is no need to worry about being unable to move in for a while.

People all over the world have also heard about Jia She's intention to clean up the slaves, so everyone is careful and cares about it—it's true that the downfall of the Lai family and Zhou Rui's family was too sudden, and the remaining slaves are not afraid.Therefore, during this move, not to mention missing things, nothing happened such as scraping teeth and knocking pots and bowls, which made Jia Mu unable to say that Mrs. Xing's housekeeper was no longer good.

Jia Zheng, who moved in with his bags, had no objection to the size of the courtyard. As long as he didn't move into Rongxi Hall, it didn't matter where he lived.Mrs. Wang has objections, but she is still a criminal, and she can't complain.

"Tomorrow is the time for filial piety, and it is time for the sage's approval." Jia Zheng told Jia Amnesty his conjecture.

Jia Amnesty nodded, he was convinced of Jia Zheng now, and felt that Jia Zheng still had a way of doing things.Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were also present. Speaking of which, they are no longer young, and they can be considered half adults in this era.Both of them are the eldest sons, so Jia Zheng suggested that Jia amnesty, it is better for the two of them to listen to the insignificant human relationship.

However, the two children got used to it for a few days before they could face their respective fathers without trembling, which left Jia Zheng speechless for a long time.Fortunately, the mentality of the two people is really not low, but they have no experience in getting along with male elders. In the past few days, give a few more smiling faces, and then ask them for their opinions appropriately. Don't be too motivated to participate.

"Will a sage issue an imperial decree?" It was Jia Lian who asked.

Jia Amnesty didn't know either, he looked at Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng nodded: "The sage will not make a big fuss about repaying the money owed, but he will still issue an imperial decree about changing the plaque and reforming the system."

Jia Zhu looked at Jia Lian with some pride, and Jia Lian looked at Jia Amnesty again, and lowered his head.Just as Jia Amnesty was about to start swearing, Jia Zheng pulled his sleeve, and he endured it, only watching Jia Zheng interacting with the children.

This is actually a kind of example, and Jia Zheng asked a practical question: "What should we do if the saint makes an imperial decree?"

Jia Zhu thought about it: "Let someone prepare the incense table first, so as to save time and hassle, and have to let the person who announces the decree wait?"

Seeing Jia Zheng nodding, Jia Lian hurriedly added, "The official uniforms of the gentlemen, the clothes of the old ladies, and the ladies are also ready? Do you have to prepare some reward money for the person who announces the decree?"

Have you read it? This is the difference between having a real mother and not having a real mother. Why did Jia Lian think of rewarding silver?Because his mother was gone, if he wanted something extra, he had to reward those servants to get it.As for Jia Zhu, her own mother is not only alive, she is also the wife of the family, and it is too late for those servants to curry favor with him, so they would not think of getting rewards from him, Mrs. Wang herself should not be too diligent in rewarding her.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty: "Brother, once the government is reorganized, the servants should clean it up quickly."

Jia Amnesty still didn't understand why the imperial decree was being transferred to the slaves all of a sudden. These days, the mansion is cleaning up the yards everywhere, and the houses are busy moving, so there is no way to take care of it.Seeing that he was puzzled, Jia Zheng told him what he had heard from the two children's answers just now.

Jia She didn't believe it: "Lian'er, you really want something, and you have to give money to those people?"

Jia Lian nodded: "That's right, Mother Zhao said our monthly money is for this."

Jia Amnesty asked Jia Zhu again: "Is Zhu Er's monthly money doing this?"

Jia Zhu shook her head: "I don't think I need to add anything extra, but Nanny Li is also in charge of the monthly money."

This time, Jia Amnesty figured it out. It wasn't that Jia Zhu really didn't lack anything, but that he had more things prepared than his son.But now Mrs. Wang is no longer the housekeeper, and he can't always find someone's back. After all, his own son is still with him.

If you can't find a steward, you can't find a servant?Jia Amnesty is going to grab Jia Lian's nanny directly.Jia Zheng doesn't have any ill feeling towards Jia Lian's nanny in the original book. You see, she has become Jia Lian's nanny, and her two sons don't have any serious errands.It was only after begging Wang Xifeng that he went down to the south of the Yangtze River with Jia Rong and others.If it's really the fake tiger's prestige, he might have arranged for his son in Jia Lian's name.

Of course, this also shows from a side that the relationship between Jia Lian and this nanny is really not very close.A child who lost his mother early should have a deeper relationship with the nanny.It also shows from another aspect that this nanny will not be too devoted to Jia Lian.

So Jia Zheng just didn't have any bad feelings towards this Nanny Zhao, and at the same time, he didn't have any good feelings either.Now what he cares about is Jia Lian's reaction. If Jia Lian pleads with Mother Zhao, it means that even if she is not dedicated, Jia Lian has not been wronged.If Jia Lian doesn't intercede, it can be said that Jia Lian is cold, but it also shows that Jia Lian hopes that this person will leave early.

"Tomorrow is a good day for filial piety. Master, please forgive Mammy first." Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, but still dared to plead with Jia Amnesty.

Before Jia She could scold Jia Lian for her benevolence, Jia Zheng had already said, "Lian'er is kind-hearted. That woman was left to you by your elder sister-in-law. After serving you for the past few years, it has always been hard work. But When it's time to knock, you still have to beat. Even if she needs money for something at home, she is so lucky to talk to you, how can you ignore her? Such a clever name, no! You are the master, and this house will be yours in the future, just ask for whatever you want "But don't be like the original book, just for a few small money, turn yourself into an errand manager.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty wanted to teach his son a lesson, he had no choice but to persuade him: "That nanny was left by my sister-in-law for Lian'er. It's just that we didn't make good use of her."

Jia Zhu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let Lian'er live with me? My Nanny Li is very dedicated. With her watching, Nanny Zhao will feel better."

Jia Zheng couldn't help but patted his head. He is really a kind-hearted child. Generally sensitive children have a soft mind. Unfortunately, this kind of softness will be used or ignored by those who care about it. It will kill people: "You guys You are already grown up, this time I let you move to the outer courtyard, so that you can learn to manage your own yard. There are not only things in this yard, but also slaves. How to make the slaves recognize you as the master, and you are the only slaves, depends on you It's up to me."

Jia Zhu was a little puzzled: "But the nuns raised us up, so we are different from others. Besides, the people in the yard are gifted by the wives, so we should be more respectful."

Such a classic quotation from the Rongguo Mansion made Jia Zheng angry: "You are a master, so you must have the bearing of a master. Even if those people are married to you by wives, they are still servants of the mansion, not masters." , and have to respect the slaves, are they the masters, or are we the masters?"

Even Jia Amnesty didn't think there was anything wrong with what Jia Zhu said just now, but it made sense for Jia Zheng to say that, and Jia Lian and Jia Zhu were both a little dazed for a moment.But what the two of them thought more about was how to go back and gather the people in their yard.

Seeing the expressions of the three men, Jia Zheng laughed: "Brother, when cleaning up the slaves, you might as well let out those slaves who think they have face. They have served the Master before, so how can we make them work harder? At that time, they were still able to handle the little master, but when Lian'er is in charge, what will the children do?"

Of course, Jia Amnesty agreed. He had just checked the public treasury, so he was still clear about his family background.Thinking about the need to repay 60 taels of treasury silver, and another 6 taels every year in the future, maybe we should release more slaves to save some monthly money.

Jia Zheng said again: "After the filial piety tomorrow, I should go to the Ministry to study. I'm afraid I won't have many days to study at home. Besides, I'm just a small manager. It's better to clean up those few guests." All my husbands have resigned."

Now Jia Amnesty is willing to do anything that can save money: if you are not in charge of a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. Now that he is the head of the family, he realizes that what he took over is not a rich property.However, Jia Zheng didn't live in Rongxi Hall, forced his wife to hand over the housekeeping rights, and even helped him to deceive the Wang family. Jia She really felt that there would be no such selfless brothers anymore.Now that the brothers have proposed to resign the Qing Ke Xianggong, it makes Jia She think that he is too strict with himself.

"Those gentlemen who clean up can spend a few dollars a month, and at least they can talk to you to relieve boredom." Jia She is determined to be a good brother.

Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed. He co-authored the entire Rongguo Mansion, and his positioning of the original owner was more accurate than his own. Look, Jia Amnesty knew that those gentlemen were not teaching and learning with Jia Zhengzhen and singing in harmony with his poems. Watching him talk to relieve boredom.

"Brother, don't worry about me. Speaking of which, the reason why these people came to vote that day was only for the name of the Duke's Mansion. Whoever has real talents and knowledge is willing to flatter and laugh at others, which shows that his character is Insufficient. Now that elder brother is in the position of head of the family, those people are the most ruthless, maybe they are thinking of saying something now, and begging for it themselves. Instead of this, it would be better for us to speak out on our own initiative." Jia Zheng really felt that it was better to keep those Qing Kes than the two clerks left by Jia Daishan.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty is also able to listen to persuasion now. Seeing that Jia Zheng insisted, he no longer objected.He also discussed with Jia Zheng about his family's income - 6 taels of silver would be paid back every year, even if there was still some silver in the treasury, the pressure was not small.

Jia Zheng felt that this was a good sign. Jia Amnesty cared more about the income of the mansion than spending 800 taels on a girl.It's just that he hasn't read the current account book of Rongguo Mansion, and he doesn't know if Zhuangzi under the name of the mansion has already started to report disasters everywhere.

Now the owner of the house is Jia She, he can only remind from the side: "Brother, do you want to find some people to inspect all the villages?"

Jia Amnesty couldn't understand again: "What's so good about those Zhuangzi?" There are no antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are no beauties.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Zhu and Jia Lian: "What do you think?"

During the past few days of visiting and learning, the two already knew that this was the meaning of investigating them, so they had to answer.So Jia Zhu said first: "It's the same as the old man checking the public treasury. If you don't check it yourself, you don't know if the things in it match the ledger?"

Jia Lian went on to say: "Did the stewards of the Zhuangzi embezzle the harvest like the mother?"

Jia Zheng nodded and praised the two children: "Well, you are right. We are far away from the Zhuangzi in the mansion. It turned out that the Zhuangtou said that there was a disaster, so he believed it and reduced their rent. It's just people's hearts. They are all greedy. They don't think that the master trusts them, but that the master doesn't understand farming and can be fooled by them. However, they can't judge everyone to death. They still have to go and see for themselves, which people are really credible Report it, and who will be the ghosts from it."

Jia Amnesty made him feel embarrassed.I just didn't think about it for a moment, why did I let those two boys take the lead.But whoever he is, naturally has his solution: "Then why not let the two of them go with me, we must know where our family's property is."

Jia Zheng was somewhat hesitant: "Lian'er is in the inheritance mansion, so it's okay to go. Zhu'er doesn't have to."

Jia Amnesty got along better with the two children these two days than before, mainly because he saw Jia Zheng interacting well with the two children, and he took Jia Lian with him in everything, so he was a little disdainful of Jia Zheng's words, and felt that the second child looked at him. It is better than before, but the reading is still a bit roundabout: "There are only two of them in this generation. If they don't support each other, who else can they point to? Besides, even if Zhu'er doesn't inherit the mansion in the future, she can't inherit yours." ?”

What he said was reasonable, so Jia Zheng didn't object any more, he just told Jia Zhu to listen to his uncle when the time came.Being able to go out for a walk is the most attractive to half-grown children. Jia and Zhu are full of expectations, and they relax a lot in front of their respective fathers.

After finishing his serious business, Jia Zheng went back to his west courtyard.It's been a few days since we moved here, and everything that needs to be done has been sorted out, so he has to communicate with Mrs. Wang again: Divorcing his wife is impossible, and it's hard not to let Mrs. Wang go out to meet people on the day of filial piety tomorrow.If you report her illness, it's not like: keep a filial piety, Jia Mu, a widow, has nothing to do, and her daughter-in-law is too ill to see anyone, it's hard to say.

Now that Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng, she reflexively felt that he had come to find her awkward again, and her whole body and posture were resisting.Jia Zheng pretended not to see, took a sip of tea from the girl, and asked, "Is everything ready for filial piety here?"

Mrs. Wang didn't know how to answer. If she wanted to talk about filial piety, apart from making sacrifices more grandly, the rest was to remove the clothes. Besides, if the whole family changed into auspicious clothes, it would be done.Since Mrs. Xing went to the flower hall that day, Mrs. Wang has never appeared in the flower hall again. How does she know how the preparations for the filial piety are going.

It's also because Mrs. Wang didn't jump out of the housekeeper's wife's thinking for a while. She heard Jia Zheng asked about filial piety, so she put her thoughts on the whole house. She didn't realize that Jia Zheng was actually asking about their own room. .

Jia Zheng didn't get a response from Mrs. Wang. Even if he wanted to give Mrs. Wang some good looks today, so as not to show something on Mrs. Wang's face when she saw a guest tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "I don't need you as a housekeeper now, why even We don’t want to manage our own yard anymore?”
