[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

At this time, there were not many masters in the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng was accompanied by Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, and Jia's mother was accompanied by Yuan Chun and two wives. Only Jia Amnesty was left alone.But he wasn't idle either. Filial piety period was not the time to hold a concubine, but it was a good time to clean up servants.

Speaking of a person like Jia She, it may be difficult for him to do serious things, but if he is asked to do damage, he knows nothing by himself.Originally, Jia Zheng just reminded him to use the servants around the children as a breakthrough point, but because the children were raised in front of Jia's mother, he was afraid that Jia's mother would say him, and he was worried about his mother taking care of the children, so he let go of Jia Zheng's proposal. On the side, he directly extended his hand to the servants of the East Courtyard who surrounded him all day.

You don't need to tell Jia She, those slaves have been with him for more than ten years and have been doing their best to him.You really think that Jia Amnesty is a wooden person, ignorant of the eye contact between those servants and the confidantes of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. Over the years, he has often asked Mrs. Jia to use the excuse of keeping things for him and not letting him spend them to poach his grandmother. something left for him.

Having made up his mind, Jia Amnesty gathered all the servants who had already obtained some evidence, and then asked those servants who were loyal to him to go to the homes of the servants whom he had found guilty to find new evidence.

New evidence came quickly, these people were also used by Mrs. Wang, they took the owner's things, but they didn't know how to keep them secret, so that people could find out.Jia Amnesty was furious, these dead slaves, even if they worked in Rongguo Mansion for another two lifetimes, they would not be able to afford the things and property at home.

Question: What crime should a slave steal from his master?

Jia Amnesty's answer was: first put forty boards on it, and then send the person to the official.Fortunately, before sending him to the official, he still remembered the strategy Jia Zheng had come up with for him to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and let those servants sign and sign one by one.

But new troubles arose again. These slaves took the things of the master, but those things were not enjoyed by their own family. They even gave gifts to the prestigious stewards and big housekeepers in the mansion.You must know that the current chief steward of Rongguo Mansion is still Jia Mu's confidant: Nanny Lai's husband, Chief Lai's housekeeper, is not Lai Da later, but his father.

Jia Amnesty was a little flustered—he would panic about anything involving Jia's mother.Looking at the testimony in his hand, Jia Amnesty was at a loss, and he would not be reconciled if he did not investigate, but if he wanted to investigate, what would the old lady do if she came forward?Jia She really didn't think that the old lady would give up her confidant for the sake of her son who was not favored by her elders.

He had no idea, so Jia Amnesty decided to find someone who had an idea.Anyway, it was Jia Zheng who gave him the idea of ​​finding trouble with the servants, so let Jia Zheng continue to give him his own advice instead of bothering the two masters.

"Look, look, how much money the Lai family has embezzled from the mansion in a year!" Jia Amnesty shook his testimony in front of Jia Zheng with righteous indignation, hoping that Jia Zheng would share his hatred with him.

Jia Zheng didn't expect that in less than half a day, Jia Amnesty would catch the biggest moth in Rongguo Mansion.Then there is nothing to discuss, and he has no plan to fatten up the slaves before catching them. Naturally, the sooner such moths are cleaned up, the better.

"What do you mean, brother?" Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement. He didn't want to arrest people when he had the evidence, but he was still hanging around here. Aren't he afraid that the Lai family will run away if they hear the news?

I just didn't know what to do, so I came to you.Jia Amnesty was anxious about Jia Zheng's ability to understand: "What if the old lady thinks that I am trying to seize power and then attack her dowry?"

It turned out that it was because of this that Jia Zheng had a high awareness of Jia Amnesty's ignorance and filial piety.It's just that this matter has already happened, and it can't be attributed to failure. He made a puzzled look: "How can brother think of the old lady like this? The old lady is just deceiving people. When brother puts all the evidence in front of the old lady, the old lady The wife will naturally recognize the true face of this dog slave."

Jia Amnesty was still a little hesitant, it's not that Jia's mother has done things to embarrass him for being a slave all these years.Jia Zheng didn't give him a chance to hesitate, and said with a smile: "Elder brother, don't worry. Today at noon, the old lady told Mrs. Wang and the eldest sister-in-law to punish the tongue-smelling slaves in the family. Brother, this is not what the old lady meant. Same, are they all for the Qingming in the mansion?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief, "The old lady really said that?"

Jia Zhengji nodded vigorously: "I said it." At noon, Xiuju took advantage of Mrs. Wang's sleep to report what she had heard about the conversation between Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang.And Mrs. Xing didn't even return to the East Courtyard in order not to delay the afternoon visit with Mrs. Wang to be the butler of the Flower Hall.So Jia Zheng got the first-hand news, but Jia Amnesty could only be kept in the dark.It can be seen how important it is to have timely news.

Jia Amnesty now has enough confidence: "That's good. I didn't expect that the old lady is really in charge of the house, and she can see through the servants in the house."

Jia Zheng nodded in agreement and said, "That's natural. Brother, it's better to share the old lady's worries as soon as possible."

Jia Amnesty felt that he still lacked confidence in facing Jia's mother, so he said to Jia Zheng, "When I get the evidence, will you go with me to see the old lady?"

This is not a difficult task, and besides, Jia Zhengben is also ready to support Jia Amnesty - after finally cleaning up the slaves in the mansion, it can't be anticlimactic: "It's natural. It's because the Wang family's housekeeper is not effective. Please take care of me, brother."

Jia She suddenly felt that he might have wronged his younger brother a few years ago. Look, he is not just pretending. This attitude of admitting his mistakes can be pretended?He took a step forward and patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder: "Second brother, you are a good person. I wrongly blamed you before."

This shot came so suddenly, Jia Zheng asked himself uncertainly, does this mean that Jia Amnesty recognized him?No matter what, he still dared not say anything humbly on his face, and gave Jia She an idea, asking him to make a quick decision and hand over the evidence directly to Jia Mu, even if she wanted to cover up the Lai family.

Jia Amnesty, who got the idea, used the only confidant he had in his hands to coerce and lure the slaves in the mansion, and gained more than a hundred servants, and surrounded the Lai family's house outside the mansion with water.Butler Lai and Nanny Lai are still serving in the mansion at this time. Lai Da and Lai Sheng are the second stewards in Ningguo Mansion and the other in Rongguo Mansion. Facing the furious Mr. Jia Amnesty Jia, they have no strength to fight back. .

So the Lai family was confiscated, and Jia Amnesty was furious—the Lai family's wealth, let alone a slave, even a fourth-rank Beijing official, couldn't afford it.After tying up Lai's elder brother and his son, and bringing the Lai family's account books, Jia Amnesty returned to Rongguo Mansion angrily.As for the Lai family's wealth, nonsense, where did a slave get his private wealth!That's all because of his pardon!Don't forget, it's his own brother who admitted in the morning that he is the head of the Rongguo Mansion!

Jia She, who hurried back to Rongguo Mansion with a group of people, met the butler Lai who was hurrying at the door.Even though Chief Steward Lai was in a hurry, he still saluted Jia Amnesty: "My lord, the old lady is looking for you everywhere."

No need to ask, it must be that someone in the mansion tipped off the steward Lai.Jia She felt more and more that there was still a need for rectification in this mansion: just after the head of the family did something, a servant who was embarrassed could ask the old lady for help. Is this something that can happen in a house with strict family rules?

Jia She, who had just been provoked by Lai's family wealth, said to his confidant behind him expressionlessly, "Bound me this slave who doesn't have a master in his eyes."

Just as the confidantes were about to make a move, Housekeeper Lai first called Zhuang Tianqu: "My lord, the servant is just giving you a message for the old lady, and you want to tie up the servant indiscriminately? Who will dare to listen to the old lady in the future?" Madam?"

It's really a good mouth, and now I still want to use the old lady to suppress myself.Jia Amnesty didn't hesitate when she first heard that Housekeeper Lai mentioned Jia's mother, but since the two boys of the Lai family have been tied up, the relationship between himself and the Lai family can be regarded as a knot.If the Lai family were allowed to escape today, what prestige would he have in front of the slaves as the Patriarch?

Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth and said, "Don't do it yet! It's the old lady's rule to deal with the talkative slaves at home." The confidants didn't neglect any longer, tied up the butler Lai Da and Lai Sheng together Go to Rongxi Hall.

Nanny Lai was weeping at Mother Jia at this time: "I ask myself that I have served the old lady for decades, not to mention any credit for the old lady - that is our duty as a slave. But also I have worked hard in this mansion for most of my life, and I don’t know why I can’t get into the eyes of the old man, so I have someone confiscate the servant’s house. After this day, who will dare to serve the old lady again. "

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang sat under Jiamu's hands, watching Lai Nanny singing and playing.Because this old servant is the old lady's companion, no one in the mansion except the old lady takes notice of him.Needless to say, Mrs. Xing, Nanny Lai treated her only with good looks.Even when Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, she would ask Mrs. Wang for favors and say something kind from time to time, which made the servants in the mansion think of her kindly.Mrs. Wang is lenient to her servants, and she somewhat does not want everyone to be bought by a slave.

Now that they heard that the old man had raided her home, the two of them might not have gloated in their hearts.It's just that Mrs. Xing was worried that Jia's mother would harm Jia Amnesty because of this, and she might be angered.Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng had been to the East Courtyard in the morning, and then she thought of the three things Jia Zheng said to her at noon, and she was afraid that there was also Jia Zheng's beginning and end.

While each was having their own concerns, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng entered the house together.Mother Jia looked at Jia Amnesty, her eyes sparkled, and she threw the teacup at Jia Amnesty, "You don't like my old lady, do you? Now that the Lai family is copied, do you have to take my old lady away tomorrow?" Do you have to search your house too?"

It wasn't once or twice that Jia Amnesty was humiliated by his old mother, but he never felt so wronged this time: "Why doesn't the old lady ask about the good things this slave has done?"

Mother Jia was taken aback. Jia Amnesty had always been docile in front of her, but today he yelled directly at herself, which made her a little unacceptable.When Jia Zheng saw it, he hurried forward and said, "My brother also heard that the old lady wanted to investigate the tongue offenders in the family, so I shared the old lady's worries. Who knew that it was the Lai family who started the investigation. Brother thought about the old lady. The wife has always trusted the Lai family, and she didn't want to go to the Lai family to check it out because they would tarnish the old lady's name."

When Jia Zheng said this, he shook his head at Nanny Lai, with a more disappointed expression on his face: "Who knows that the Lai family is too courageous. It's not my brother's anger, it's because I saw what the Lai family said. I also feel that my brother copied their house too late."

Nanny Lai couldn't believe that such words came from Jia Zheng's mouth. Because of the old lady's partiality, their family was more polite to Jia Zheng and his wife than to Jia Amnesty's elder wife. Thank you, is it still worse now?

"Master, the servant's family is loyal to the mansion, someone must have framed the servant's family." Nanny Lai planned to attack Jia Zheng first, because he was a rote reader, and he should be easier to fool than the unscrupulous elder.

Jia Zheng shook his head: "You said that you are loyal to the family, but why do you still provoke our brotherhood? This is brother's degree. If brother has a grudge against me because of you as a master, Can you afford it? And you said you didn't break your tongue?"

Grandma Lai also stayed.Isn't that what the mansion was called after the Duke died?Even the old lady acquiesced, why did she become a tongue-trick when she called out today?

Jia's mother also disagreed with Jia Zheng's statement. In her heart, Jia Amnesty had already obtained the title and took advantage of it. So what happened to Jia Zheng being the family and the master of the mansion?But why did the youngest son retreat today?Mother Jia, who didn't react, was stuffed into the account book of the Lai family by Jia She: "Look, old lady, the property of this dog slave is almost equal to the ten-year income of the mansion."

Looking at the account book in her hand, Jia Mu, who is in charge of the house, can't figure out where the property in it comes from?What a big dog!Angry Mother Jia felt that she had been fooled by Nanny Lai, but this servant knew too many secrets about her, and it was hard to deal with her now.

Nanny Lai has been with Jia Mu all her life, and she saw her dissatisfaction with herself from Jia Mu's face, and she cried bitterly: "Old lady, the slave is covered in lard, please let the old lady let the slave go this time. The slave will I will repay the old lady by doing cows and horses for the old lady." We have also done cows and horses for you.

Mother Jia heard the meaning of her words, and Jia Zheng guessed it.Taking a step forward, Jia Zheng looked contemptuously at Nanny Lai: "You are the old lady's companion, and it is your duty to serve the old lady. Are you still here to claim credit from the old lady?"

Turning around to Mother Jia, he said, "Old lady, this dog slave is now using his power to coerce the master. Now there is the old lady and us, if one day the little masters are in charge, we must not let this dog slave dominate."

Mother Jia was silent.The matter in front of her was completely beyond her control, but the evidence was in front of her, and she couldn't allow her not to make a decision immediately.But Nanny Lai knew that she had too many secrets, so she couldn't be sent to an official, even if she left the mansion.

"Boss, what do you think should be done with this slave?" Mother Jia pushed the question to Jia Amnesty. Don't you have the ability to arrest him? Let's talk about what to do now.

Jia Amnesty was not Jia Zheng. He didn't know that Mother Jia had something in the hands of Nanny Lai, so he said without any burden: "Slaves who betray their masters like this will naturally be sent to the government. Stealing ten taels of silver from the master is a death penalty. Their family's wealth is in the hundreds of thousands, and the whole family has died more than a hundred times."

Mother Jia was so angry that she wanted to stuff Jia Amnesty back into her stomach, but Nanny Lai felt that this was a good way to threaten Mother Jia: "I am sorry for the old lady, and the whole family of slaves is willing to go to the government to avenge their crimes."

Jia Zheng felt that there was some reason why Jia's mother had always looked down on Jia Amnesty.It's just that now is not the time to be entangled in this matter, he still has to show his attitude: "Brother, this servant has been in the mansion for a long time. One of the couple is the big housekeeper and the other is the housekeeper's wife. Go to the government."

Only now did Jia Amnesty realize it and said: "Well, you are right. It's just that such a slave cannot stay in the mansion."

Jia Zheng didn't even look at Nanny Lai, who was pale on the ground, and said to Mother Jia: "Madam Lai's family has served the old lady for so many years. There is no merit but hard work. The old lady might as well release their family from slavery. Reward them with some money and let them go to their relatives far away. They used to welcome and send off to the mansion, and they would feel uncomfortable staying in the capital.”

Is this still my youngest son?Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief, only seeing a hint of determination in his eyes.Looking at Jia Amnesty who didn't understand, he became more determined to let Jia Zheng be the master of the house: "Well, let's do it like this."

Jia Amnesty wanted to say something more, but Jia Zheng blocked him with a wink.He suddenly felt that his IQ was not enough, and he was going to ask Jia Zheng the meaning of what he said just now.

Mrs. Xing hadn't been in charge of the house, and she didn't hear the twists and turns, but Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng as if she were a stranger. Is this still her own husband?She is a housekeeper, and she also knows that when dealing with such slaves who know the master's secrets in the back house, most of them adopt the method Jia Zheng said:

The master acted generously, saying that he had released the slave's slave status, and that he had gone to seek refuge with relatives in other places.But for slaves who disappeared like this, no one would know where their distant relatives were, and no one would know when they could find their relatives.

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was a little low, and she was a little cold.He suddenly changed to a husband whom he didn't even know, who seemed to know all the things he had done, could he really be fooled by him?Or after I go back tonight, let Zhou Rui's family really take away the accounts left outside?

Mrs. Wang, who was thinking about herself, remained silent like Mrs. Xing.Jia's mother was even more dissatisfied with the two daughters-in-law who had no winks: don't winks, are you still waiting for someone to show the Lai family?

Jia Zheng watched the change in Jia Mu's face, but he didn't want to find another step for her: He is a gentleman, how could he dirty his hands?

Mother Jia couldn't help it, so she had to say to Mrs. Wang: "Zheng'er's family, find someone to take care of their family, don't let them talk with them, and don't give them food and drink. Let them be sent out of the house tomorrow morning! "

This is different from what Jia Zheng said just now. Isn't the old lady the kindest, the most sympathetic to the old and the poor? How can there be a vicious taste in her words?Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing looked at each other, wisely they didn't speak.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, but said nothing.She went out of the house, called a few people she had to use, and explained the matter.Mrs. Wang's needy people were all frightened by what happened before them. In the afternoon or even just now, housekeeper Lai and the housekeeper's wife, who were still overwhelming them, were going into the firewood room?

However, Mrs. Wang's gloomy face made them dare not ask too many words, and they just ordered people to detain the Lai family members.Nanny Lai knew Mother Jia's tricks, seeing that she was about to lock herself up, she had to beg for mercy loudly, and what she said next would be a bit unpleasant.

Mrs. Wang hated her few companions who didn't wink to death.With a glance, Zhou Rui's family stepped forward, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Nanny Lai's mouth.Nanny Lai was still babbling nonstop, but she was already rudely pulled out.

What Nanny Lai said just now successfully made Mother Jia's face turn pale: whether it's being the head of the house, picking things from the public treasury to her private room, or the aunt's use of marriage to suppress the concubine's daughter, it doesn't matter. Glorious thing.

Jia Amnesty's complexion was not good either, who knew that the mother whom he admired so much was actually a woman with a vicious heart who used public tools for private purposes, so he would not have a good complexion.Madam Xing and Madam Wang couldn't tell from their expressions what they were thinking.Even Mrs. Xing, who has nothing to do, regards herself as a background board, and doesn't want anyone to notice her at all.

Jia Zheng said to Jia's mother: "Today, the old lady has been bothering her. Please rest early. Those slaves are used to being treated leniently by the old lady. Now that the old lady has discovered their private malpractices, she is full of resentment and slanders her master. People take it seriously."

Mother Jia's complexion softened a little, she had to be her youngest son, and at this moment she knew how to protect her face.She waved to the four of them and told them to go back.When everyone reached the door, Mother Jia suddenly remembered something and called out, "Zheng'er stay here for a while."

Jia Zheng didn't know what Mother Jia told him to stay, but he knew that he had just been approved by Jia Amnesty, and if he stayed alone now, it would be easy for Jia She to think that Mother Jia was plotting something with him.It is one of the qualities of a gentleman to say everything to others, so Jia Zheng said to Jia Amnesty: "Brother, please stay."

Jia Mu was a little shocked, but Jia Amnesty was completely shocked—this was not the case before. At that time, Jia Zheng enjoyed the special treatment Jia Mu gave him, and even showed it off in front of him when he was young.Today, he actually wanted to let himself stay with him. Is this still his younger brother who wants to overwhelm him?

Mother Jia was even more depressed, she wanted to have some intimate words with her youngest son, about how her youngest son would use his status as the master of the Rongguo Mansion to socialize with old relatives after he uttered filial piety.But how can you say that in front of your eldest son? !
