Chapter 323
[There is hope today, but it is also likely to be made up tomorrow...]
After the evil incident, although Wang Xifeng recovered quickly and took over the power of life and death in her family again, she was always in a panic.
Because Mrs. Wang has always been her biggest backer in the mansion here. If Mrs. Wang had not been strongly supported, how could her niece-in-law be the one who could be Li Wan in charge of the family?
Now that Mrs. Wang is famous, she is under house arrest by Jia Zheng in the back house. Although it has not yet affected Wang Xifeng, it has undoubtedly shaken the foundation of Wang Xifeng's "rule".
These heavens Wang Xifeng always saw that the managers were not as obedient as before, and for this, he sent a group of people a lot of trouble. They were so scared that the managers were all silent. As a result, Wang Xifeng began to suspect that they were conspiring inwardly...
That afternoon she found some mistakes and deducted the wages of two women in charge of the two women in charge. The two women in charge of the company were dejected, but she was also so annoyed that she was sweating profusely.
After sending the person away, Wang Xifeng scolded the maid who was fanning, "What's wrong with you not having eaten? Go and put the ice basin in the middle. Even if the person is useless, at least he will blow some cool breeze!"
Summer began on the 25th of last month, and now more than twenty days have passed. Although it is not yet the hottest time, it has been more than thirty degrees in the afternoon.
The maid put down the round fan and was about to move the ice basin, but Ping'er stopped him and advised: "This ice basin is wet and cold, so I dare not use it too much, so how can I fan it up against my body? If my grandma feels stuffy, she might as well go to the garden to relax and visit the third girl."
Because when Qiaojie'er was ill, Ping'er's care was not untied, and Jiao Shun took the risk to save him, Wang Xifeng changed from then on, so the relationship between the master and the servant has improved greatly.
Wang Xifeng frowned slightly when she heard this: "What's wrong with the third sister?"
"It was said that I had suffered a cold in Zhao Guoji's house yesterday." Ping'er hesitated for a moment before whispering: "I heard that Aunt Zhao has been staying by the third girl."
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she knew what she meant. She sniffed disdainfully and asked Jiao Shun directly: "Brother Shun is going to see Sister Yun, it's almost time to come back, right?"
While speaking, he waved his hands to the maids and maids on both sides, and the maids quickly retreated.
Ping'er was a little confused, but she replied honestly: "I haven't come back yet. I think it's because Baobing Hou has kept a guest. If I have too much wine at noon, it's probably when I come back."
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, first wiped away the sweat from her forehead with a veil, and then penetrated her collar and wiped the cracks.
At the same time, he said, "The master has recently closed the door to thank the guests, and put his wife under house arrest. No matter who can persuade him, he will not be able to enter. Brother Shun went there the day before yesterday and saw his wife. This morning, the master sent someone to the yamen to take out the leave, which shows that he obeyed his will."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Ping'er: "When he comes back, please ask him to say more words to his wife in front of the master. If the wife can really escape from this, she will naturally not treat him unfairly."
Only then did Ping'er realize her intention, and couldn't help but say: "I'll try my best, but now it's not as good as before, so Uncle Wang may not be able to instruct him, let alone me?"
"Hmph~ Just lean on him!"
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, then thoughtfully said: "San Meitu, please walk for me - if Aunt Zhao knows how to move forward and back, you will give her some face. If she is so crazy, come back and tell me that I have my own way to deal with her!"
…………
at the same time.
Jia Zheng was also asking about Jiao Shun's actions. When he learned that Jiao Shun had not returned yet, he simply ordered people to guard the front and back doors. He just waited for Jiao Shun to come back to Baoling Hou's Mansion and invited him to see him immediately.
After Jiao Shun's persuasion that day, he was also worried that he would miss the opportunity to be promoted and could not show his ambitions.
And I heard that my superiors were looking forward to it day and night, and he did not hesitate to ask someone to beg him to hand over the handover, which was barely a step to cover his shame. Therefore, he sent someone to the yamen to cancel the fals early this morning, and planned to go to the Qingli Office of the Military Land to "usurp the power and seize the throne" tomorrow.
However, after the leave was cancelled, Jia Zheng became a little worried about gains and losses. He thought that he had not gone out for more than a month, and he didn't know what changes had happened in the yamen. He was drunk and dreaming every day these days, and never thought about what to do after taking office.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he thought about discussing it with Jiao Shunshun.
But when he waited, Jiao Shun could not come back. Because the weather was hot and hard to deal with, Jia Zheng simply wrote a book called "Wild Sou's Words" and wanted to go to the front yard and pavilion to relieve boredom and heat.
Unexpectedly, when he was running inside and outside the door, he was about to run into Jia Baoyu and headed to the Grand View Garden with a dejected look. His old face sank and scolded, "Stop!"
Jia Baoyu heard that it was his father's voice, and was so scared that his spine became cold. When he turned around tremblingly, he saw Jia Zheng's gloomy face, and it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Seeing this, Jia Zheng became more and more displeased and scolded: "It's so good, why are you depressed? Look at your face with a feeling of depressed desire and depression. What are you feeling unsatisfied? Why is this so for no reason?!"
Jia Baoyu was stabbed by Daiyu in the East Mansion and was depressed at lunch, so he ate a few more cups. Although he was not drunk, his head was like cotton wool and his ears were filled with Jia Zheng's reprimand, but it always seemed to be separated from his brain, and he was speechless.
Jia Zheng became more and more angry and was about to have an attack. Suddenly, he saw Zhou Rui running towards him. He thought that Jiao Shun had returned, but Zhou Rui reported: "The chief minister of the Zhongshun Palace has come. He has submitted a post to see the master!"
After hearing this, Jia Zheng was puzzled and thought to himself that his family had never had any contact with the Zhongshun Palace, so why did he suddenly send someone to him today?
While thinking, he hurriedly said, "Please come to Rongxi Hall to speak!"
Not long.
Jia Zheng and the head of the royal palace were seated in Rongxi Hall. As soon as they had tea, they had not had time to greet him politely, the head of the royal palace said straight to the point: "The emperor is not here to disturb the emperor's mansion, but he is actually here on the order of the king. There is something to ask for - for the sake of the prince, he also asked Master Zheng to make the decision to agree. Not only does the prince know your favor, but he is also grateful to the minister."
Jia Zheng became more and more confused when he heard this. King Zhongshun relied on his uncle today and was always domineering and unscrupulous, but why did he still ask for something to him?
However, he naturally did not dare to neglect King Zhongshun's request, so he quickly stood up and smiled and said, "Since the Lord came here at the order of the king, I don't know what to expect. I hope that Lord can make clear and follow the order to handle the order."
The chief official waved his hand and said, "No need to handle it, it only takes one word from the adults - there is a Qi Guan who sings the little Dan in our mansion. It was originally a rare call from our prince from the inner mansion. This actor has always been in the mansion, but now he has disappeared after several days."
"We ordered people to investigate outside. Eight out of ten people in the city said that he had a good relationship with the young master who wore jade in Zun Mansion recently!"
"The lower-ranking officials knew that the Zun Mansion was not as good as other families, so they were not easy to come and ask for it. Therefore, they realized that the prince said, "If it was another actor, it would be fine if there were 100, but this Qi official was given by the inner mansion and did not dare to give it to him without permission. If the son really loves him, he might as well ask the emperor to issue a decree. At that time, our prince will naturally give it to him!"
As he said that, the chief sneered repeatedly.
Jia Zheng was shocked and angry when he heard this. He hurriedly ordered someone to find Baoyu and shouted in front of the chief official: "Damn slave! It's okay if you don't study at home, but you will do these lawless things outside! Na Qi Guan is the one who worships the prince Zhongshun. How can you dare to tease him for no reason and bring disaster to your family!"
Baoyu was frightened and woke up seven minutes of alcohol. He quickly shook his head and said, "My son really doesn't know about this. Even the word Qi Guan is the first time I heard about it!"
Before Jia Zheng could ask, the chief minister sneered first: "Young Master doesn't have to hide it, either hide it at home or know his whereabouts. If you tell me earlier, we will suffer less. Wouldn't we remember the virtue of your son?"
Baoyu still denied it without saying anything.
The chief minister's face turned ruthless: "There is evidence first, why should the young master deny it? The old master originally thought about leaving some face for the young master in front of the old man, but now he doesn't know this person, so why did the big red sweat scarf that dared to ask Qi Guan's face reached the young master's waist?!"
Unexpectedly, such a secret was found by the other party. Jia Baoyu was shocked and lost his soul. He thought to himself: Since he knew such a secret matter, he might not hide anything else. Why not send him away quickly so as not to tell anything else!
Therefore, he stumbled: "Since the adults know his background, they don't even know how he bought a house or a property? Twenty miles away from the east suburbs, there is a place called Zitanbao. He bought several acres of land and several houses there, and it is unknown if he was hiding there."
After saying that, he remembered his always-knit friendship with Jiang Yuhan, and she burst into tears with shame and ashamed.
The chief minister heard this and immediately smiled, "Since the young master said that, he must be there! Please go and find it. If there is one, then I will stop. If there is not, I am afraid I will still disturb you!"
As he said that, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Jia Zheng was so angry that his eyes were tilted. While sending the chief out, he turned around and shouted: "Don't move around here, I have something to ask you when I come back!"
And that is, Jia Zheng was sending away the chief of the royal palace and turned around and hurried back to the hall, Jiao Shun happened to come back from the Baobing Hou's Mansion on a horse.
Because the horse was borrowed, he naturally wanted to return it first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he led his horse into the corner of the front yard, he was stopped by Jia Zheng's servant, saying that Jia Zheng had given orders early in the morning, and he would invite him to speak quickly when he came back.
Jiao Shun was shocked at the time and thought the matter had been revealed. He pulled the servant and said a few words before he felt relieved.
I didn't expect that I had just found the door of Rongxi Hall, and I heard Jia Zheng shouting inside: "Get out, I'll do it myself!"
Then I heard the crackling sound inside, mixed with vague groans.
At the same time, the two servants also retreated from the living room in a mess.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
So after gritting his teeth and luck for a long time, Jia Zheng suddenly dropped the board in his hand, slapped his face hard, and muttered: "It will make you not discipline yourself, it will make you unable to teach your children, it will make you..."
The crackling fight between them left and right made everyone in the room stunned.
Just at this moment, someone outside the door shouted, "Wouldn't it be clean if you beat him to death first, and then beat me to death?"
Before the shouts fell, Jia Mu, Wang Madam, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Chai Dai entered one after another.
