Chapter 1,146: The affair is over and the romance is revealed
With the mediation of the elders, the matter regarding Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng was temporarily suppressed.
It's just that the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife, which they had maintained for several years, has broken down.
Just wait until after this Spring Festival and everything has settled, the two of them will reconcile.
And in order to let things settle as soon as possible.
It was not only the elders of the Jia family who took action, but even Wang Ziteng, the military governor of the Beijing camp, after hearing about the things his niece Wang Xifeng had done, he ran outside the palace gate all night long and kowtowed in apology.
On the other hand, Jia Zheng and Jia She both had some hindsight.
When the two of them learned the news and rushed over, Wang Ziteng had already received the order from the palace and came out.
"Sister-in-law, brother Enhou!"
When Wang Ziteng saw Jia Zheng and Jia pardoned his brothers, he immediately bowed and said apologetically:
"Because of Brother Feng's incident, you were shocked!"
Jia Zheng quickly returned the courtesy and said:
"Brother, what you said is a shame. Our family does not talk about two families. Brother Feng grew up in Rongning Second Mansion. She has reached this stage today. We, the Jia family, also bear an unshirkable responsibility!"
The two generations of female mistresses in charge of the Jia family were all women from the Wang family.
Moreover, among the more than thirty servants and housekeepers who committed crimes this time, half were the dowry servants of the royal family.
This apology from Wang Ziteng is really necessary.
However, the three of them are all adults. Even if Jia Zheng is a nerd, he still knows the current situation of the four families of King Jia Shi and Xue. It is impossible to break up the alliance of the four major families because of this incident, let alone because of this. Question the Wang family.
Jia She was too lazy to be polite to the prince, and he couldn't bear to tell lies, so he asked directly:
"Brother Zi Teng, what did the Supreme Emperor say when you entered the palace this time?"
Jia Lian and his wife are Jia She's son and daughter-in-law.
If the government really wanted to hold Jia Lian and his wife accountable, it would be the end of the matter for Jia She, an only son.
Fortunately, Wang Ziteng opened his mouth and consoled him:
"The Emperor was furious when he heard about the incident between the two palaces. He wanted to investigate further, but was suppressed by the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor also said that this is the only time, and if he does it again, he will not be able to protect him!"
Brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as I get away with it this time, I'll be fine.
As for next time?
Who dares to ride a horse again?
At that moment, the two brothers were about to enter the palace to express their gratitude, but were stopped by Wang Ziteng, who said that neither the Supreme Emperor nor the Emperor wanted to see them.
Their faces turned red, and they could only kowtow a few times in the direction of the East Palace and Daming Palace at the entrance of the palace to show respect.
Not even two days passed.
Jiang Li, the governor of Chang'an Prefecture, personally delivered the verdict to Rongning Second Prefecture.
More than thirty housekeepers and stewards were all sentenced to execution.
Among them, Lai Da, Lai Er, Zhou Rui, Lin Zhixiao, Lai Wang, Shuiyuean Master Jingxu and others committed many evil deeds and were sentenced to be cut off from the waist and abandoned in the market.
More than 30 people, more than 200 people, were all sentenced to be sent to the border as slaves.
After hearing this, all the masters of the Jia Mansion were speechless.
In addition, the government confiscated more than 4 million guan in property from the homes of more than 30 slaves, of which more than 3 million guan in gold and silver were basically confiscated.
There were also more than 30 houses, thousands of acres of farmland and manors outside the city, and some stolen royal items worth about 1.5 million guan, which were returned to the Rongning Second Mansion by the government.
This move somewhat comforted the masters of Rong Ning's Second Mansion.
After handing over the land deed, Jiang Lixian, the governor of Chang'an, took a slow sip of hot tea and then said with a smile:
"Brother Enhou, Brother Cunzhou, mighty generals, Rongning and Ningfu have a mellow family tradition and treat their slaves very considerately. This is a kind act. But the sage has something to say, only women and villains are difficult to raise, so close to them If you are not inferior, you will be resentful if you are far away.”
"Your mansion has always cared about the servants and lost its dignity, which has allowed women and villains to gain power, causing great disasters. When the emperor and the emperor heard about the case, they also became angry. They felt that your mansion had a very bad influence on the world. .”
"Your Majesty ordered me to send a message to you two dear friends. We, Daqing, have established our country with loyalty and filial piety. Things that happen to your house must not be repeated once. If there is a next time, we will definitely not be lenient!"
After hearing this, the three heads of the Jia family quickly bowed and said yes.
At this point, Su Mingzhe's 'anti-rape' operation has come to an end.
At night.
The masters of Rong Ning's second house gathered in Jia Mu's backyard to discuss future housekeeping plans.
Because Mrs. Wang, the former housekeeper, Youshi, all took the blame and retreated to the second line.
At the Rongguo Mansion, there were three housekeepers: Li Wan, Tan Chun, and Dai Yu.
Over at Ningguo Mansion, Qin Keqing is the steward.
This also means that everyone in the Jia family began to regard Daiyu as their future daughter-in-law.
Lin Daiyu did not want to accept this job.
But when she took a peek around her and saw Su Mingzhe looking at her with encouragement, she could only bite the bullet and agree to the matter.
After everyone's discussion was completed, the two of them came to the Bisha Cupboard and Lin Daiyu's boudoir and sat down.
As soon as Sister Lin sat down, she immediately said coquettishly:
"Second brother, there is sister Yingchun in the Jia family, why bother asking me to manage the internal affairs?"
"Does Yu'er also recognize the second sister? That would be great!"
Su Mingzhe didn't seem to understand what Sister Lin said, and said directly with a smile:
"Everyone else thinks that my second sister is mediocre in qualifications, dull and cowardly, and they all laugh at her for being a piece of wood!"
"I didn't dare to recommend her to manage the house at first. It turns out that you, Yu'er, are also very optimistic about the second sister. So why not wait until Yu'er takes care of the house and take the second sister with you and give her a chance to show off her abilities. In the future, , Yu’er doesn’t want to take care of things anymore, so she recommends her second sister, so that she can have a reason to convince others, how about that?”
"You're so glib, just make me angry!"
Lin Daiyu thought of Yingchun's dullness and clumsiness, and then looked at the man's eyes with a hint of narrowness in his eyes. She suddenly understood that the man in front of her clearly wanted to lead her and teach the dull second sister Yingchun.
When Su Mingzhe saw Sister Lin turning around and frowning, he was afraid that she would be really annoyed. He looked around to see if there was no maid to disturb him, then came to Sister Lin, put his arms around her slender waist, and lay beside her pink earlobe, Laughing softly:
"Good sister, it's just a joke, don't be angry. Even if you don't think she is your cousin, you also want to help her because she will be your aunt in the future..."
"You still said that!"
Sister Lin was hugged by the man, and she was extremely shy. When she heard him talk about "Sister" again, she felt shy and anxious. When she turned her head, her thin red lips seemed to have touched her.
Just when Sister Lin was surprised by the man's boldness, Su Mingzhe became even bolder.
It’s no wonder that Su Mingzhe is so bold, it’s actually Sister Lin’s performance these days that is constantly emboldening men.
I don't know how long it took.
Four divided lips.
Sister Lin lay shyly in the man's arms and threatened in a low voice:
"You pervert, leave now. If you don't leave, I'm going to call someone!"
"Good sister, I'm leaving now, but I'll come back to see you tomorrow!"
Su Mingzhe got an advantage and did not dare to go too far. He immediately helped Sister Lin, who was all hot and limp, to the bedside, then turned and left with a smile.
