The night is getting darker.

Jia Mu's big flower hall is still brightly lit.

"Then Jiao Da waited for half a year without seeing any intervention from the government. Finally, he became disheartened, so he made the matter clear to his family when he was sent to Rehe to escape the summer heat."

"After discussing it with my father and son, I felt that although this title is privately owned by Jiao Da, it is inextricably linked to the Dongfu after all."

Lin Zhixiao recited this point, glanced at Jia Zhen quietly, and then continued: "So his family was not in a hurry to attack the king. Instead, they tried their best to organize errands and trades. They planned to wait until they accumulated some hard work before going to Xijue.

Please give me a favor from the government and help me negotiate an agreement."

"Because the tire shop is doing a booming business, his family originally planned to mention this matter after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Who would have thought that just as they sent someone to pick up Jiao Da, the incident would happen first."

After Lin Zhixiao finished talking about the 'causes and consequences', the hall fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were turning back and forth between Jia Mu, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, and Jia Zhen, who was looking ugly. Although they had their own thoughts, no one dared to speak rashly because they were not sure what the old lady was thinking.

But others can wait, but Jia Zhen, the person involved, cannot remain silent forever.

He thought again and again, stood up and offered his hands to Jia Mu: "Old lady, even though I am wrong in many ways, this matter is related to the face of the family..."

Jia Mu suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand and waved to Lin Zhixiao: "You can go down first."

Lin Zhixiao, as if he had been pardoned, hurriedly responded respectfully and walked backwards out of the flower hall.

Jia Zhenjing was interrupted by this interruption, but her mouth was a little stuck. It took a long time before she stuttered under the gaze of the old lady: "If the title of this family is snatched away by a slave, once the news spreads outside, our family is afraid that

Isn’t this a joke?”

"Brother Zhen, I'm afraid there's something wrong with what you said, right?"

Although Wang Xifeng was angry and refused to act according to her instructions, she still stood up and provoked Jia Zhen: "Jiao Da actually earned that title based on his merits. Now he is neither a slave nor a slave."

It's not in your house, so how can we say that the title of the family has been robbed?"

Seeing that Jia Zhen was about to retort, she pretended to be curious and asked: "By the way, why did you have to drive that Jiao Da out in the first place?"

"this……"

Jia Zhen was immediately speechless.

Although most of the people present knew the reason why he drove away Jiao Da, but how could such a thing be stated openly?

Mrs. Wang also said at this time: "If a servant like Jiao Da appeared in our house, he would never dare to be treated as a slave - so when your uncle and I meet, we should respect him as an elder."

"

Jia Zhen's face became even more embarrassed, and she couldn't care less about the shamelessness at the moment, and hurriedly complained to Mrs. Wang: "It's not that my nephew doesn't miss the old relationship, it's actually that Jiao Da always likes to cause trouble because of his meritorious service.

, Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law just passed away, and he actually made up some rumors. I was so angry that I kicked him out!"

He shamelessly took the initiative to bring up this matter. Although it was 70% true and 30% false, it also made it difficult for Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to continue to dwell on this matter.

So Wang Xifeng returned to the original question: "No matter what the reason is, since he has been kicked out, who wants to pass the title to, I'm afraid we have no reason to insist on intervening."

After a pause, he also stood up and rushed over to his wife, who said with a smile: "Old ancestor, it's not me who is speaking to the visitor. With Jiao Da's achievements in the past, there is no reason to usurp his title. Otherwise, if word spreads,

I’m afraid it’s more than just a joke.”

"Who said they want to seize his title?!"

Jia Zhen hurriedly defended: "No matter how stupid I am, I can't be like this! What I mean is to take him home first, whether it's Brother Rong or Brother Qiang, and come forward to provide for him in his old age and see him through his death. After all this is done,

It’s not too late to get the results.”

He was talking about Brother Rong and Brother Qiang, but what he was thinking about was Jia Qiang.

Firstly, Jia Rong already had a candidate for an official position, and secondly, he couldn't bear to hear his son being called "Dad" by a slave.

But Jia Qiang is not so worried. Both her parents are dead. How can she find a foster father in order to inherit the title?

That child has always been a well-behaved person. Now that I help him fight for a title, won't he have to be doubly 'filial' in the future?

As for Jiao Dale being unhappy...

If he refuses to submit, just set the name in a big way first, and then let Jia Qiang come forward to inherit the title after he dies of old age in two years.

If there is no evidence of death by then, is there anyone who can summon the charred soul and go to the Ministry of War to lodge a complaint?

And after all, this is just a small sixth grader. Who would take the risk of offending Ning Rong's second house and worry about the details?

But after Jia Zhen finished her argument, she rushed to Wang Xifeng and apologized: "Sister, we have been together since childhood. I just ask you to save some face for your brother, and I will repay you in the future!"

After hearing what Jia Zhen said, Wang Xifeng fell silent for a moment.

In the final analysis, she actually doesn't care who the title goes to. What she really cares about is her own face and interests.

Now that Jia Zhen had taken care of her face and promised that she would be rewarded in the future, Wang Xifeng's intention to stand up for her family was immediately compromised.

After thinking for a long time, she sneered and said: "You only think about your own face, but you don't understand my difficulties at all! Now Lai's family supports almost half of the Rongguo Mansion, and has just added sixty or seventy thousand a year to the family.

An income of two.”

"All the credit for his hard work has been taken away, and the government wants to take away the opportunity for his family to honor his ancestors - how can he be willing to work hard in the future? How will the other servants in the government view this matter?"

"What a credit to the hard work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia She scolded: "No matter how capable a slave is, he shouldn't care about his master's things! Otherwise, he is not a slave, but a family thief! In my opinion, it is a good thing to drive him out as soon as possible.

, otherwise I won’t be able to steal it this time, I’m afraid I’ll have to worry about brother Lian’s title in the future!”

He clearly only cares about his butt and not his head.

But from the standpoint of the ruling class, this cannot be said to be completely unreasonable - besides, if you have to reason with your slaves in everything, what's the point of being a master?

And because Jia She occupies the title of father-in-law, it is difficult for Wang Xifeng to contradict him face to face no matter what opinions he has.

So I had no choice but to look at Mrs. Wang for help.

Unexpectedly, it was Jia Zheng who came forward this time: "That's what I say, but all the credit and hard work cannot be wiped out. Besides, your eldest niece specially sent someone here two days ago..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something, frowned and stopped talking, and regardless of what others said, he lowered his head and began to ponder.

For a moment, the hall fell into inexplicable silence.

"Alas~"

At this time, Jia Mu finally spoke for the second time: "Normally, I, the old woman, shouldn't overstep my authority when it comes to your family's affairs, but brother Zhen, you really need to change the way you run the family - if you can act more maturely,

How could it cause such a disturbance?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhen hurriedly turned over and knelt down, clasped her fists above her head and said: "What our ancestors taught us is that if your grandson knows that he is wrong, if anything happens in the future, he must first come to the house to ask for instructions from his two uncles, and then he will not dare to act arbitrarily.

Got it!"

After a pause, he added: "The title actually doesn't matter. Not to mention Brother Bao, Brother Huan and Brother Cong want it, so I'm willing to give it to them! I just ask my ancestors to spare me this time.

Don’t let outsiders see our family’s face!”

This statement is half true and half false.

In Jia Zhen's heart, the sixth-grade title was indeed not as important as his family's reputation, but if it was given to the two unpopular concubines in the Rong Mansion, he would never let it go.

But it was precisely because Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were mentioned that it was difficult to interrupt.

Otherwise, if he comes to help, he will be suspected of suppressing the "concubine"; if he changes his tone, he will be suspected of plotting to seize the title of Dongfu.

"well."

The old lady sighed again and said helplessly: "Since you mentioned this, I can't stop my old lady. Furthermore, although Laijia's feelings are pitiful and his actions are forgivable, if he encourages others

If you follow this trend, everyone will be thinking about the things at home, but I’m afraid it won’t be a long-term solution.”

Having said this, he waved his hand gently to Wang Xifeng: "When the matter is over, you can get rid of your slave status and let me go - in this way, the merits and demerits will be balanced."

Although denaturalization is a grace, under the current situation, Laijia will definitely not receive support from the Rongguo government after deregistering, which is completely different from the situation where Lai Shangrong and others take advantage of both sides.

"Ancestor?!"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Then what they are responsible for..."

"You are the housekeeper grandma."

The old lady raised her hand to interrupt her and said slowly: "You can make up your own mind about who should be arranged to take over."

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the newly promoted person was definitely not as good as Laijia, at least his power in the mansion was not affected too much.

in addition……

Since Laijia is destined to be kicked out, the losses incurred may not be irreparable.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jia Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. She quickly kowtowed to Jia Mu and said repeatedly: "Thank you, ancestors, thank you ancestors!"

Then he stood up and smiled at Wang Xifeng and said: "Sister, please arrange for someone who knows the way to take my people to Rehe early tomorrow morning, and take Na Jiao Da back home to enjoy his happiness!"

[I thought that when I watched the Red Mansions fans, one would be Ying Ying Yan Yan, and the other would be grass snakes and gray lines, but I didn’t know that everyone just wanted something fast and fun.

And I just thought that I couldn't attack a prince just for the sake of attacking a prince, and mixed several things into one place and wrote them down in detail. I really misjudged the situation and the atmosphere.

No matter, it's already like this anyway, so I might as well break the pot and throw it away. Today's update will be enough. Tomorrow, I'll shake out the baggage at the sixth update, so I can earn more and get less scolded.
