Chapter 74 Revisiting Lixiangyuan

But when Jia Zheng finished dividing the pork, everyone in the hall turned their attention to Jia Mu.

After all, no matter how comprehensive the method is, it still requires the old lady to nod her head and agree.

Jia Mu was silent for a long time, then stood up with crutches, shook her head and said: "I am deaf and dazzled now. I can't hear or distinguish clearly. Can't I just let you fool me? Well, let's leave it like this. I'm a little tired."

Come on, let’s all disperse.”

Although she showed her dissatisfaction, she finally agreed to the plan of private exchange between the first and second households and Wang Xifeng.

So when I reached the inner room with a cane, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Jia Zheng, the initiator, showed some shame on his face. Regardless of the presence of others, he turned back and glared at his wife: "Now I'm taking advantage of you!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly bowed her head and defended: "Master, I am also..."

"snort!"

But Jia Zheng didn't give her a chance to complain. He sneered and said, "It's a waste of time that you usually eat fast and chant Buddha's name, but you end up teaching such bastard tricks!"

After saying that, he handed over his hands and confessed his crime to Jia She, leaving Mrs. Wang and went away angrily.

Mrs. Wang was about to catch up, but when she looked at Zhou Rui, who was still tied up, she hesitated and stopped.

"Shun'er, please untie it for your Uncle Zhou!"

Upon seeing this, Lai Wang hurriedly called his son to come forward and help Zhou Rui loosen his bonds, and asked Zhou Rui if he wanted to support him and escort him.

Zhou Rui's injury looked scary, but it did not hinder his movement. He reluctantly thanked his father and son and followed Mrs. Wang step by step.

At this time, Jia She led Mr.

Tsk~

After half a year of hard work, he still couldn't get any advantage from his daughter-in-law. Now it's like a pie is falling in the world, so he got some benefits in vain. It's a shame that he has the nerve to act like this.

No wonder the house is headed by the second bedroom!

Wang Xifeng did not ignore her parents-in-law, but waited until they all left before calling Wang and his son over and briefly explaining a few words.

The content is nothing more than telling Laiwang to handle the handover with Zhou Rui as soon as possible and make sure there are no omissions.

Lai Wang agreed one by one, and then sent Wang Xifeng to the big pink screen wall, and then led his wife and children out of the inner house.

However, when the family of three returned to the small hall in Laiwang, they were all speechless.

Compared with yesterday, the impact today is obviously greater, and there is naturally a lot more to digest and digest.

After a long time, Lai Shun took the initiative to start the conversation: "Although the outcome of this matter is completely different from what we had expected, I think about it carefully and feel that it is not necessarily a bad thing."

Mrs. Xu seemed to understand, but Lai Wang nodded in agreement and ordered his son to continue.

I came to talk about it by the way: "Although our idea of ​​instigating mistress to oppose the government was not completely realized - dad, you can stay in the capital and take over Zhou Rui's errand, but it is an unexpected blessing.

"

"Compared with the business that has not yet started in the south, mastering the land rent in Zhuangzi in spring and autumn and the right to pay tribute every year will undoubtedly be more helpful and important to the second mistress."

"And because this is the result of coordination between all parties, it will be much more difficult to find someone to replace you in a short period of time than to find someone to work as a supervisor in the south."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she finally understood and couldn't help but said happily: "So, now our family will be more confident when we have a showdown with her?"

"It's hard to say yet."

Lai Wang shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "But we can't drag things out forever. Since the opportunity to go south is gone, let's just wait until Zhou Rui and I finish handing over the errands, and then we can have a showdown with the second mistress!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists resolutely.

Uh~

I hope it won't take too long this time, lest I start to get sick again.

…………

Probably because every time Lai Shun was only willing to improvise at critical moments, his wish failed again as usual.

Because Zhou Rui's main job is to supervise the spring and autumn land taxes and summer and winter tributes of each Zhuangzi, so most of the handover procedures and necessary instructions need to be completed in each Zhuangzi.

So the next day, Lai Wang went to the countryside outside the city with Zhou Rui, who had half his head bandaged.

It is expected that it will take at least half a month before I can come back.

During this period, Laishun was also very busy, because most of the errands originally undertaken by his father were left to him.

What are the advance arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Races and the Four Kings and Eight Gongs special event with Shuntian Mansion?

Why, together with the principal of the Changshengfang government-run elementary school, went to the Daxing County Education Bureau to discuss the teacher subsidy this summer.

On behalf of the Changshengfang Fire and Theft Prevention Mutual Aid Association, I went to the Inspection Department to discuss the issue of young people's allocation.

On behalf of the Rongguo Prefecture and the Daxing County Magistrate, they discussed the specific rectification measures for Ningrong Street to encroach on the street with its eaves.

There are more than ten cases in total, and most of them require dealing with the authorities.

Although a veteran nobleman like Rong Guofu must have close contacts with local officials.

But this ratio is too high!

So Laishun rushed to ask him about the reason before his father went to the countryside to clean up. Only then did he know that while his father was looking for help from the Wang family, he had not given up and continued to look for other ways.

That's why I deliberately chose these trivial tasks of dealing with the authorities.

Alas~

How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!

After Laishun sighed in his heart, he worked hard to complete these errands for his father.

Who would have thought that he had just sorted out the situation here and was about to enter and leave the government office with high spirits, showing off the 'experience' he had accumulated while running the formalities in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly received an invitation from Aunt Xue, saying that she wanted to invite the mother and son over to taste the freshly delivered seafood.

If you really want Laishun and her son to taste the seafood, wouldn't you just send two baskets over?

This person was obviously using his name to invite Mr. Xu and Lai to come over and discuss other matters.

Because Mrs. Xu had a master-servant relationship with Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue saved her life, mother and son never shied away from it.

In the morning of the next day, I arrived at Lixiangyuan early.

Unexpectedly, after asking people to go in and report, there was no reply, and there was faint noise in the hall.

Mrs. Xu felt a little uneasy because of this. She happened to bump into an old sister again, so she hurriedly pulled her to a corner and asked if she had come at the wrong time.

Because the woman was an old acquaintance of the Xu family, and she heard that Lai Wang had taken over Zhou Rui's errand and had since become one of the four great housekeepers, she naturally wanted to get closer to her.

So he explained with a smile: "It is indeed a bit unfortunate, but it doesn't matter - our young master has had several quarrels with his wife recently over the Xiangling. Just wait for a while, and everything will be fine inside."

After saying that, he said politely: "Why don't you go to my room to have a cup of tea first, and I will wait with you slowly?"

"That's not necessary."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly excused herself: "It would be rude for us to miss my aunt's summons. We, mother and son, should wait in front of the door."
