Jia Zheng, who was flipping through his memories, didn't know that Jia She, who was far away in the East Courtyard, was also thinking about the same problem as him, that is, not allowing Jia Zheng to live in the main hall.
It's not that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are deeply in love with each other and have reached the point of mutual understanding, but that compared to Jia Zheng, a fake, he understands his mother's eccentricity for decades.From childhood to adulthood, except for raiding his grandmother's private house from him, Jia's mother never gave Jia She a good face. After Jia She's original spouse passed away and married Mrs. Xing, she even looked down on her son and daughter-in-law.
But for the youngest son, Jia's mother has always cared and cared for him, and Jia Amnesty has never received such kindness.At first, Jia She felt that the old son and grandson were the lifeblood of the old lady, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.But when his first wife passed away and the housekeeper was handed over by Mrs. Wang to Mrs. Wang, Jia Amnesty felt a little uncomfortable.
After Mrs. Xing entered the door, Jia Amnesty knew that his old lady's thoughts were not simple before the housekeeper Quan returned.Three years after the death of my father Xian Guogong, the old lady still had no intention of moving out of Rongxi Hall, and Jia She was in a bad mood.Jia Amnesty has already guessed what her mother's plan is to let her second son live with her so eccentrically.
But he doesn't want to!I am the one who deserves to live in Rongxi Hall, and I am the one who should live in Rongxi Hall. It’s fine for the old lady to live by herself, but let the second child live and let the second daughter-in-law be the housekeeper. name?But Jia Amnesty had no idea how to prevent the second child's family from officially living in Rongxi Hall.
Jia Amnesty knew a thing or two about his younger brother: from childhood to adulthood, he used a name that was easy to read, and coaxed his father and then his mother.No, it's coaxing daddy, relatives and friends with my mother.Let the father and relatives feel that he knows how to advance and retreat, and knows etiquette, and he will become a great weapon in the future.But in fact, he is a hard-educated student who doesn't know how to adapt. Just seeing that he has studied for several years, but he hasn't even handed in a single classmate, we can see how he can become a master.
It's not that the second child doesn't know how much he has, or because of his temperament that he likes to show off, he dare not participate in a literary meeting in Beijing, and just talks about literature with his Qing guest every day?But the more this kind of big-eyed and empty-minded person, the more he feels that his talents are underappreciated, and the more he is willing to seize every opportunity to show his "talent".Now that the old lady gave him a chance to move into the Rongxi Hall and be the master of the entire Duke's Mansion, he still had to keep going?
If the second child really lives in Rongxi Hall according to the old lady's arrangement, what should he do?Jia She looked around and realized that he couldn't do anything: fundamentally speaking, the men of Jia's family are all cowards in the nest, the only difference is whether the nest is in the entire Rongguo Mansion or just in the East Courtyard.Don't you see that in the original book, Jia Amnesty's orders cannot leave the East Courtyard, while Jia Zheng only has authority in Rongguo Mansion?
Jia Amnesty, who couldn't get out of the East Courtyard, had no confidence in Jia's mother: the plaque of the Duke's Mansion was hung on the gate of the mansion, and that was because the old lady, the wife of the Duke, was still there.If the old lady was really irritated, she would really sue Jia She for disobedience, let alone the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, even Jia She's title as a first-class general would also be suspended.
But will the old lady really sue Jia She for disobedience?Jia She never thought about this.After all, now is the era when the word filial piety is as big as the sky, and the world is ruled by filial piety.Regardless of the final result of Jia's mother's lawsuit, the Jia family's reputation is considered to be gone.So Jia Amnesty didn't dare to try, and was manipulated by Jia's mother for a lifetime in the original work.
What Jia Zheng wants to tell Jia Amnesty is that the old lady will not sue, because she is the most face-saving person, how could she personally tear down the fig leaf of the Jia family?But Jia Amnesty still doesn't know what Jia Zheng wants to tell him, so he informed his servants that the second master was looking for him, and acted annoyed: Why did he find the East Courtyard? The Rongguo Mansion is so big that he can't let him go. up?Insatiable!
"Second brother, why are you free to come over today, but what's the matter?" Jia Amnesty didn't even try to hide the depression on his face, which opened Jia Zheng's eyes: the ancients didn't pay much attention to tact and subtlety when speaking. ?How could he just go straight to his cheap brother?
However, Jia Zheng also welcomes the ability to speak directly: "There are some things that I need to discuss with my elder brother."
Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng suspiciously, did he come to stand up for the old lady and test his tone?Thinking about it, I picked up the cup and prepared to drink tea to calm my shock, but I forgot that there is another word in the world called "serving tea to send guests off".
Jia Zheng was even more embarrassing, he hadn't spoken yet, why was he about to be chased out, and quickly called out, "Brother? But brother has something to do in the morning? Then I'll come and see him in the afternoon."
Jia Amnesty is a little strange, you are the one who came to find me, and you are the one who is about to leave before I can say anything. Is it fun to play yourself as the elder brother?He slammed the glass on the table to express his anger.The sound of the cup colliding with the table made Jia She belatedly realize his mistake just now.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jia She laughed at himself in his heart. He was an elder brother, so he became nervous when he saw the second child, but there was not even a trace of guilt on his face: "What's the matter with you, just say Just come out."
Very well, Jia Zheng felt that he could take advantage of such an undisguised thick-skinned and rascal: "Naturally, I'm here to discuss the matter of filial piety with my brother."
"Come out of filial piety?" Jia Amnesty felt more and more that Jia Zheng was here to test him, and said angrily, "There is nothing to discuss, just prepare according to the etiquette, and then post a message to the old relatives and old families to invite people to watch the ceremony. This inner house It's not all about your family, let her get ready first."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "My elder brother is now the head of the family, so the Wang family has to come up with the regulations so that the Wang family can prepare. Besides, after the filial piety, the elder brother may also move to the main hall, and then the Wang family will be in charge of the inner house. It's not appropriate. So brother sees this preparation, can you let sister-in-law help?"
The amount of information is a bit large, and Jia Amnesty can't react.Is the second son testing himself or is he sincere?Even if reason is inclined to the former, why is Jia She so willing to believe that it is the latter?
"It's just that the old lady is still living in the Rongxi Hall, how can I mention the matter of moving." Jia Amnesty changed to test Jia Zheng.
"The old lady lived in the Rongxi Hall for the past three years, just to miss her father. Now that she is going to be filial piety, her elder brother will live in the main hall as the head of the family. If you think about it, the old lady can understand. After all, after filial piety, the elder brother's favor There will be more." Jia Zheng calmly found an excuse for Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty stroked his beard and nodded. Could it be that he had wrongly blamed the second child, that he was not pretending to be polite?So he continued to test: "The old lady has always liked you, and she is willing that you will be close to her and be filial to her, and the moving will be done slowly."
Jia Zheng now believed that the original novel really used the Spring and Autumn style of writing. How could the eldest son who had conquered the nobles be really stupid and ignorant of things, and only knew how to drink and hug his young wife?See how tactful this statement is, that is, not to say that I will not move into Rongxitang, nor to say that I will come forward to let the old lady move.
Jia Zheng laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Although I haven't obtained any fame, I have read a few books of sages. I understand the difference between seniority and inferiority, and the orderliness of seniors and young. Even if the old lady wants me to come closer Filial piety, it's just that our mansion is only big, so we just need to walk a few more steps."
That's right, why didn't I think of this, the big deal is to assign the second child a yard closer to the old lady, so that he can get close to the old lady from time to time.Jia Amnesty was excited, and clapped his hands cheerfully: "That's the reason. But when do you think it's appropriate?"
Jia Zheng shook his head: "It's not good for us to bring this up."
Jia Amnesty couldn't adapt to such ups and downs of conversation, he has always been a simple and rude person: "How do you say?"
Jia Zhengcai didn't care about his attitude, he wanted to be a gentleman, and nourishing energy is also the cultivation of a gentleman: "At this time, it is only a month or so away from filial piety. In order to arrange the banquet at that time, the old lady will also propose to move in the next few days. matter. At that time, brother will just talk to the old lady about it.”
Jia Amnesty nodded, "That's right. I still need your kind words." Jia Amnesty still knew how much he felt in the old lady's heart.
Jia Zheng would not make things difficult for him in such a matter: "Of course I will obey my brother's orders.It's just that the elder brother should show some majesty of the head of the family. "
Jia Amnesty was still a little upset when people said that he was not dignified.It's just that today's topic has been dominated by Jia Zheng, and he was in the excitement of being able to move into the Rongxi Hall, so his unhappiness has faded: "How to say?"
Jia Zheng said sternly: "Our family has always treated the servants more tolerantly and punished less. But those people regard the master's tolerance as a step of advancement, watching people order dishes, cheating superiors and inferiors, and cheating on others. How can I not do things like shoddy and shoddy? I am destined to be separated, and it is not good to do anything to those people. Now, by preparing for the matter of filial piety, my brother asked his confidants to visit, let those people It’s good to have awe.”
Among other things, just watching people order dishes touched Jia Amnesty's heart.Has he received less winks from his servants since his grandmother left?He is not a magnanimous person, he has already kept a small black account for these dog slaves.Check, must check.
Clapping his hands, Jia She said loudly: "These dog slaves, I just treat them like this to me. To make the old lady happy, I will bear it. Why are they doing the same to you? Don't worry, brother will definitely treat you like this." Out of breath for you!"
As long as Jia Amnesty is willing to investigate, even if he uses himself as an excuse, Jia Zheng will admit it. Who would let himself be unwilling to do it himself in order to be a gentleman.So he said with a smile: "Those slaves don't mean anything to me, but the children have something to do with them."
Jia Amnesty knew where to start.By the way, how did the second child come up with such a vicious trick when he looked silent and incomprehensible?From the people around the children, it is only logical that I, the father and uncle who cared about the children discovered the loopholes, and then pulled out the carrots to bring out the mud.
"Then ask sister-in-law to help Mrs. Wang?" Jia Zheng put aside the matter and thought of another.There is no way, he really can't rest assured that Mrs. Wang, an insecure factor, will be in charge of Rongguo Mansion again.
From the moment he realized that he was transmigrated as Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was not only worried about the problem of getting the bed sheets, but also worried about the problem of finishing Mrs. Wang!That's the aunt of the famous Wang Xifeng, an existence with explosive combat power!Jia Zheng, who pretended to be full of textual research and literature, knew that his wife and himself were both people who had been researched to the brim!
If it is said that Mrs. Wang did not do what Wang Xifeng did, no matter whether others believe it or not, Jia Zheng does not believe it.In order to let Mrs. Wang do less crimes, she doesn't want to be worthy of her status as a gentleman, but just asks her to hold back a little bit. Jia Zheng doesn't think such a request is too much.
But he is a big man, he can't keep his eyes on the woman in the inner house - the task requires him to be a gentleman praised by everyone, and everyone is not limited to Rongguo Mansion.As for Jia Zheng, who had already set his sights on the entire capital and even the entire country, the only way he could think of at present was to find someone to share the power of Mrs. Wang.
Don't say Madam Xing can't get on the stage, she doesn't have the confidence to face Madam Wang.It was all based on the premise that the old lady looked down on Mrs. Xing, and Jia Amnesty did not support Mrs. Xing.Getting Mrs. Xing to be recognized by Jia Amnesty is the first step for Jia Zheng to take.
Sure enough, Jia Amnesty raised his question: "It's not that your sister-in-law didn't take care of the house, she just made mistakes continuously, and she lost the face of the house. If she is asked to come forward now, the old lady will not agree."
Jia Zheng said frankly: "Brother's words are wrong. In this mansion, the elder brother is the head of the house, and in the future the housekeeper will only be the eldest wife. Now it is just a matter of preparing for filial piety, and let the eldest wife help the Wang family. After finishing this If this is a big event, the eldest wife will know all the rules in the house, so wouldn't it be easy to take over as the housekeeper?"
Jia Amnesty's eyes were staring at Jia Zheng, why is this second child so pleasing to the eye today, every sentence he said was on point, without the sour smell of dropping his book bag.It seems that I have wronged my second child, he is just a hard-educated person, he never coaxed the Duke and the old lady, everything was planned by the old lady herself, right? !
Jia Amnesty, who thought it was the truth, nodded vigorously in agreement with Jia Zheng's opinion: "You are right. I will let the eldest lady go over in the afternoon."
Jia Zheng got the answer he wanted, and immediately bid farewell to Jia She - he still had to find an excuse for Mrs. Wang, lest people say Mrs. Xing came, and Mrs. Wang continued to hold on to power, then he would be fooling Jia She for nothing. up.
Jia Zheng's house now lives in the west courtyard of Rongxi Hall.In fact, they live in the same room, but it is just their husband and wife plus Aunt Zhou, and the two children already have a small yard, otherwise it would really feel cramped.
Jia Zheng, who usually doesn't show up in the inner house during the day, suddenly appeared in the courtyard of his own house, which caused quite a commotion, but the commotion was suppressed in the bottom of the hearts of the servants, only Mrs. Wang greeted her with a happy face and said: " Why is it so early today, master?"
Looking at Aunt Zhou who was pulling the curtain aside, Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang, "Let everyone who is irrelevant go down."
Although I don't know why Jia Zheng said that, but Mrs. Wang's intimacy can still be heard in these words. After the girls served tea, Mrs. Wang shunned everyone away neatly, and asked cautiously: "Master?"
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang seriously: "Take all the things in your hands. Finish it cleanly. You are only allowed to use people from your own family, and your brother is not allowed to intervene."
The smile on Mrs. Wang's face has froze a little bit, the master knows, how did the master know, which talkative servant and master chewed the maggots?Mrs. Wang, who was tossing about how to argue, heard Jia Zheng say again: "Take back all the antique calligraphy and paintings that you let Zhou Rui's house dump, and clean up the warehouse accounts. If you have sold them, you know what to do." How to make it up."
Sure enough, someone licked his tongue in front of the master!Mrs. Wang no longer thought about how to defend herself, after all, even the person who dealt with it knew it clearly, the master must have evidence in his hand.
"Bring my seal and post." Jia Zheng hit the third strike of the day!
Mrs. Wang asked tremblingly: "But what did I do that made the master hate it?"
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang like a stranger: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Wang sat paralyzed on the edge of the Kang, unable to answer a single word.Now that Jia Zhu is still there, she can't cry Jia Zhu, the eldest son who died early, to soften Jia Zheng's heart like in the original book.Jia Yuanchun hadn't entered the palace yet, so she couldn't rely on the imperial concubine's birth mother to let Jia Zheng save face for him like in the original book.Wang Ziteng has not yet been promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, but is only a deputy general. The strength of her natal family is not enough to compete with the Rongguo Mansion where the holy family is still there.
"Why, didn't you hear what I just said?" Jia Zheng asked Mrs. Wang in a flat, straightforward tone like the original owner.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to cheer herself up, and went to the cabinet in the inner room by herself, and took out the seal and post that she had kept for more than ten years.No matter how much unwillingness there is, in this patriarchal society, there is nothing one can do.
"My sister-in-law will come over this afternoon to prepare filial piety with you, so don't use any tricks." Jia Zheng reported another incident that broke Mrs. Wang's mind.
"Master!" Mrs. Wang, who was exhausted from the blow, heard the roar of an animal territory being invaded.
Jia Zheng continued to look at Mrs. Wang calmly: "If you don't want me to see your brother in the afternoon, just do as I say."
But this is different from the original plan!Mrs. Wang stopped talking, but her eyes were full of accusations.Jia Zheng pretended not to see what was in those eyes, and said bluntly, "I will become an official after I have completed my filial piety. This is the kindness my father begged for me. I can't let people criticize my father's decision. So those Some have no thoughts, you'd better pretend that you never thought about it."
"But master, what the Duke of the country asks for you is only the position of the head of the fifth rank. If I don't care about the family anymore, who will know us then, and how to communicate with the honorable family? Then what will Zhuer do in the future? Yuanchun what to do?"
Jia Zheng's face was no longer dull, but gloomy: "Do you think my master and I can only spend my whole life in the position of being in charge?" Human skin.
Mrs. Wang was at a loss for words, but she hoped that Jia Zheng would be promoted to the tenth and eighth grades a year, but based on her own understanding of him, and the fact that Jia Zheng hadn't achieved a good record in the exams for more than ten years, her wish would come true. difficult.
Mrs. Wang tried to reason with Jia Zheng: "I know that the master is a great talent. He will be able to make great achievements after joining the ministry. However, Zhu'er is 12 years old this year, and Yuan Chun is also 11 years old. Both children have reached the age where they can see each other very soon. .Master, even if you have the favor of the Shangguan, how many grades will you be promoted to when the two children get married? Even for the future marriage of the children, the master should not let me let go of the power of housekeeper."
Jia Zheng gave Mrs. Wang a cold look: "When you got married that day, I was just white. When Zhu'er got married, how was it different from me?"
That's because my natal family thought you were good at reading. Who knows that good reading doesn't mean you can read well. Who knows that you can't learn well in more than ten years.Even if Mrs. Wang thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it.I had no choice but to gasp aggrievedly.
Jia Zheng didn't intend to let her go: "I'll let Xiuju follow you, you'd better do what I told you as soon as possible."
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she let that little bitch follow her. Could it be that she told the master the secret?But what I did was handled by my companion, and it was too late for me to hide it from that little bitch. How did she know about it?Mrs. Wang went through her companions one by one in her mind, but she still couldn't find anyone who betrayed her.
While Mrs. Wang was thinking hard, the girl said outside: "Ma'am, there is a meal for the old lady."
By the way, old lady.Mrs. Wang's spirit was a little cheered up. Mrs. Wang could still hear the old lady's favoritism towards her master in her usual words.The master didn't know why he was fascinated for a while, but he was the most filial to the old lady, if he showed his words to the old lady, the old lady would definitely persuade the master.
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang, who had regained her energy, and sincerely mourned for the original owner: There is such a troublesome daughter-in-law on the stall, how much energy would it take to clean up the mess for her!He said to the girl outside: "Go to my study and call Xiuju."
The study is not far away, and Xiuju arrives at the first call.Jia Zheng waited for Xiuju to finish his salute before he said expressionlessly: "In the past few days, you will serve your wife first, and you will follow wherever your wife goes. You will give me everything your wife has met and said. Remember it clearly. Can it be done?"
Xiuju was able to get the old lady to reward Jia Zheng, so she was naturally a shrewd person. She heard the unfinished words in the old man's words, she nodded first and said: "Yes, the servants are determined to serve the wife all their lives." Talking privately with others, what should slaves do?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Except for the old lady, no one has anything private to say to the wife. Even with the old lady, you have served the old lady. When you can let the old lady rest too much, don't let the old lady disturb the old lady!"
Mrs. Wang just felt humiliated at this moment, wishing to scratch both Jia Zheng and Xiu Ju's face, "Jia Cunzhou!"
It's not that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are deeply in love with each other and have reached the point of mutual understanding, but that compared to Jia Zheng, a fake, he understands his mother's eccentricity for decades.From childhood to adulthood, except for raiding his grandmother's private house from him, Jia's mother never gave Jia She a good face.

Just seeing that he has studied for several years, but he hasn't even handed in a single classmate, we can see how he can become a master.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jia She laughed at himself in his heart. He was an elder brother, so he became nervous when he saw the second child, but there was not even a trace of guilt on his face: "What's the matter with you, just say Just come out."
Very well, Jia Zheng felt that he could take advantage of such an undisguised thick-skinned and rascal: "Naturally, I'm here to discuss the matter of filial piety with my brother."
"Come out of filial piety?" Jia Amnesty felt more and more that Jia Zheng was here to test him, and said angrily, "There is nothing to discuss, just prepare according to the etiquette, and then post a message to the old relatives and old families to invite people to watch the ceremony.

Among other things, just watching people order dishes touched Jia Amnesty's heart.Has he received less winks from his servants since his grandmother left?He is not a magnanimous person, he has already kept a small black account for these dog slaves.Check, must check.
Clapping his hands, Jia She said loudly: "These dog slaves, I just treat them like this to me. To make the old lady happy, I will bear it. Why are they doing the same to you? Don't worry, brother will definitely treat you like this." Out of breath for you!"
As long as Jia Amnesty is willing to investigate, even if he uses himself as an excuse, Jia Zheng will admit it. Who would let himself be unwilling to do it himself in order to be a gentleman.So he said with a smile: "Those slaves don't mean anything to me, but the children have something to do with them."
Jia Amnesty knew where to start.By the way, how did the second child come up with such a vicious trick when he looked silent and incomprehensible?From the people around the children, it is only logical that I, the father and uncle who cared about the children discovered the loopholes, and then pulled out the carrots to bring out the mud.
"Then ask sister-in-law to help Mrs. Wang?" Jia Zheng put aside the matter and thought of another.There is no way, he really can't rest assured that Mrs. Wang, an insecure factor, will be in charge of Rongguo Mansion again.
From the moment he realized that he was transmigrated as Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was not only worried about the problem of getting the bed sheets, but also worried about the problem of finishing Mrs. Wang!That's the aunt of the famous Wang Xifeng, an existence with explosive combat power!Jia Zheng, who pretended to be full of textual research and literature, knew that his wife and himself were both people who had been researched to the brim!
If it is said that Mrs. Wang did not do what Wang Xifeng did, no matter whether others believe it or not, Jia Zheng does not believe it.In order to let Mrs. Wang do less crimes, she doesn't want to be worthy of her status as a gentleman, but just asks her to hold back a little bit. Jia Zheng doesn't think such a request is too much.
But he is a big man, he can't keep his eyes on the woman in the inner house - the task requires him to be a gentleman praised by everyone, and everyone is not limited to Rongguo Mansion.As for Jia Zheng, who had already set his sights on the entire capital and even the entire country, the only way he could think of at present was to find someone to share the power of Mrs. Wang.
Don't say Madam Xing can't get on the stage, she doesn't have the confidence to face Madam Wang.It was all based on the premise that the old lady looked down on Mrs. Xing, and Jia Amnesty did not support Mrs. Xing.Getting Mrs. Xing to be recognized by Jia Amnesty is the first step for Jia Zheng to take.
Sure enough, Jia Amnesty raised his question: "It's not that your sister-in-law didn't take care of the house, she just made mistakes continuously, and she lost the face of the house. If she is asked to come forward now, the old lady will not agree."
Jia Zheng said frankly: "Brother's words are wrong. In this mansion, the elder brother is the head of the house, and in the future the housekeeper will only be the eldest wife. Now it is just a matter of preparing for filial piety, and let the eldest wife help the Wang family. After finishing this If this is a big event, the eldest wife will know all the rules in the house, so wouldn't it be easy to take over as the housekeeper?"
Jia Amnesty's eyes were staring at Jia Zheng, why is this second child so pleasing to the eye today, every sentence he said was on point, without the sour smell of dropping his book bag.It seems that I have wronged my second child, he is just a hard-educated person, he never coaxed the Duke and the old lady, everything was planned by the old lady herself, right? !
Jia Amnesty, who thought it was the truth, nodded vigorously in agreement with Jia Zheng's opinion: "You are right. I will let the eldest lady go over in the afternoon."
Jia Zheng got the answer he wanted, and immediately bid farewell to Jia She - he still had to find an excuse for Mrs. Wang, lest people say Mrs. Xing came, and Mrs. Wang continued to hold on to power, then he would be fooling Jia She for nothing. up.
Jia Zheng's house now lives in the west courtyard of Rongxi Hall.In fact, they live in the same room, but it is just their husband and wife plus Aunt Zhou, and the two children already have a small yard, otherwise it would really feel cramped.
Jia Zheng, who usually doesn't show up in the inner house during the day, suddenly appeared in the courtyard of his own house, which caused quite a commotion, but the commotion was suppressed in the bottom of the hearts of the servants, only Mrs. Wang greeted her with a happy face and said: " Why is it so early today, master?"
Looking at Aunt Zhou who was pulling the curtain aside, Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang, "Let everyone who is irrelevant go down."
Although I don't know why Jia Zheng said that, but Mrs. Wang's intimacy can still be heard in these words. After the girls served tea, Mrs. Wang shunned everyone away neatly, and asked cautiously: "Master?"
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang seriously: "Take all the things in your hands. Finish it cleanly. You are only allowed to use people from your own family, and your brother is not allowed to intervene."
The smile on Mrs. Wang's face has froze a little bit, the master knows, how did the master know, which talkative servant and master chewed the maggots?Mrs. Wang, who was tossing about how to argue, heard Jia Zheng say again: "Take back all the antique calligraphy and paintings that you let Zhou Rui's house dump, and clean up the warehouse accounts. If you have sold them, you know what to do." How to make it up."
Sure enough, someone licked his tongue in front of the master!Mrs. Wang no longer thought about how to defend herself, after all, even the person who dealt with it knew it clearly, the master must have evidence in his hand.
"Bring my seal and post." Jia Zheng hit the third strike of the day!
Mrs. Wang asked tremblingly: "But what did I do that made the master hate it?"
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang like a stranger: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Wang sat paralyzed on the edge of the Kang, unable to answer a single word.Now that Jia Zhu is still there, she can't cry Jia Zhu, the eldest son who died early, to soften Jia Zheng's heart like in the original book.Jia Yuanchun hadn't entered the palace yet, so she couldn't rely on the imperial concubine's birth mother to let Jia Zheng save face for him like in the original book.Wang Ziteng has not yet been promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, but is only a deputy general. The strength of her natal family is not enough to compete with the Rongguo Mansion where the holy family is still there.
"Why, didn't you hear what I just said?" Jia Zheng asked Mrs. Wang in a flat, straightforward tone like the original owner.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to cheer herself up, and went to the cabinet in the inner room by herself, and took out the seal and post that she had kept for more than ten years.No matter how much unwillingness there is, in this patriarchal society, there is nothing one can do.
"My sister-in-law will come over this afternoon to prepare filial piety with you, so don't use any tricks." Jia Zheng reported another incident that broke Mrs. Wang's mind.
"Master!" Mrs. Wang, who was exhausted from the blow, heard the roar of an animal territory being invaded.
Jia Zheng continued to look at Mrs. Wang calmly: "If you don't want me to see your brother in the afternoon, just do as I say."
But this is different from the original plan!Mrs. Wang stopped talking, but her eyes were full of accusations.Jia Zheng pretended not to see what was in those eyes, and said bluntly, "I will become an official after I have completed my filial piety. This is the kindness my father begged for me. I can't let people criticize my father's decision. So those Some have no thoughts, you'd better pretend that you never thought about it."
"But master, what the Duke of the country asks for you is only the position of the head of the fifth rank. If I don't care about the family anymore, who will know us then, and how to communicate with the honorable family? Then what will Zhuer do in the future? Yuanchun what to do?"
Jia Zheng's face was no longer dull, but gloomy: "Do you think my master and I can only spend my whole life in the position of being in charge?" Human skin.
Mrs. Wang was at a loss for words, but she hoped that Jia Zheng would be promoted to the tenth and eighth grades a year, but based on her own understanding of him, and the fact that Jia Zheng hadn't achieved a good record in the exams for more than ten years, her wish would come true. difficult.
Mrs. Wang tried to reason with Jia Zheng: "I know that the master is a great talent. He will be able to make great achievements after joining the ministry. However, Zhu'er is 12 years old this year, and Yuan Chun is also 11 years old. Both children have reached the age where they can see each other very soon. .Master, even if you have the favor of the Shangguan, how many grades will you be promoted to when the two children get married? Even for the future marriage of the children, the master should not let me let go of the power of housekeeper."
Jia Zheng gave Mrs. Wang a cold look: "When you got married that day, I was just white. When Zhu'er got married, how was it different from me?"
That's because my natal family thought you were good at reading. Who knows that good reading doesn't mean you can read well. Who knows that you can't learn well in more than ten years.Even if Mrs. Wang thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it.I had no choice but to gasp aggrievedly.
Jia Zheng didn't intend to let her go: "I'll let Xiuju follow you, you'd better do what I told you as soon as possible."
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she let that little bitch follow her. Could it be that she told the master the secret?But what I did was handled by my companion, and it was too late for me to hide it from that little bitch. How did she know about it?Mrs. Wang went through her companions one by one in her mind, but she still couldn't find anyone who betrayed her.
While Mrs. Wang was thinking hard, the girl said outside: "Ma'am, there is a meal for the old lady."
By the way, old lady.Mrs. Wang's spirit was a little cheered up. Mrs. Wang could still hear the old lady's favoritism towards her master in her usual words.The master didn't know why he was fascinated for a while, but he was the most filial to the old lady, if he showed his words to the old lady, the old lady would definitely persuade the master.
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang, who had regained her energy, and sincerely mourned for the original owner: There is such a troublesome daughter-in-law on the stall, how much energy would it take to clean up the mess for her!He said to the girl outside: "Go to my study and call Xiuju."
The study is not far away, and Xiuju arrives at the first call.Jia Zheng waited for Xiuju to finish his salute before he said expressionlessly: "In the past few days, you will serve your wife first, and you will follow wherever your wife goes. You will give me everything your wife has met and said. Remember it clearly. Can it be done?"
Xiuju was able to get the old lady to reward Jia Zheng, so she was naturally a shrewd person. She heard the unfinished words in the old man's words, she nodded first and said: "Yes, the servants are determined to serve the wife all their lives." Talking privately with others, what should slaves do?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Except for the old lady, no one has anything private to say to the wife. Even with the old lady, you have served the old lady. When you can let the old lady rest too much, don't let the old lady disturb the old lady!"
Mrs. Wang just felt humiliated at this moment, wishing to scratch both Jia Zheng and Xiu Ju's face, "Jia Cunzhou!"
