That night, all the servants in the Jia Mansion had trouble sleeping, especially the housekeepers and deacons.
Not only did they have to heal the psychological trauma caused by Jia Lian, but they also had to endure the pain of losing their money. What's more, their respective daughters-in-law didn't know how much they had filled in before. When they returned home, they immediately complained to the heavens and the earth when they added it up.
.
In this regard, the husband who has a strong husband can scold the mother-in-law in turn. The husband who has a weak husband can only complain.
But no matter what, in the end we can only work together and prepare the money to send it up the next day. Otherwise, who knows how Second Master Lian will deal with them...
Unlike the slaves' homes, Sister Feng's nursery was very peaceful that night.
Wang Xifeng woke up from her sweet dream before dawn the next day. She habitually leaned against the man next to her and enjoyed the tenderness for a while before opening her eyes.
The fragrant big bed, the quiet room, the three-pronged candlestick on the bedside table, and the candle that was not blown out last night was burning with all its strength. The candle oil flowed down a long way along the copper candlestick.
One share...
Wang Xifeng's face turned slightly red.
But the palm of his hand touched his man's broad chest, and when he looked up, he saw his handsome face...
Thick eyebrows, a straight bridge of the nose, and strong and well-proportioned breathing, the slightest breath hitting her face, made Wang Xifeng so emotional that she couldn't help stretching her neck and kissed her man's angular lips.
go.
Originally I just wanted to kiss her to express my love, but when I realized that it felt really good, I couldn't help but peck her a few more times.
Suddenly she felt something in her heart, and looked sideways to the other side. Sure enough, a pair of big, bright and slightly alluring eyes that were completely different from those of her own man were looking straight at her.
Wang Xifeng quickly shrank her head and her cheeks turned even redder.
Thinking of his own identity again, he stiffened his face and glared at the other person: What are you looking at your mother again?
Ping'er's eyebrows widened and his nose wrinkled slightly, but he said nothing.
She knew that her grandma was the most stingy in bed, and if she accidentally offended her, she would be the one to suffer in the end.
Seeing that Ping'er dared to ignore her, Wang Xifeng became furious.
Okay, little girl, eat what I have, use what I have, and still dare to show off for me later.
So he didn't want to make it easy for her, and reached out to pull the flesh on Ping'er's chest.
"Grandma~~"
Ping'er's face turned red and he tried his best to dodge under the large quilt.
Ping'er's shyness aggravated Wang Xifeng's cruelty. He didn't dare to fight back because of the other party, but he was unwilling to let him go.
Fortunately, there was a city wall made of flesh and blood in the middle, so Wang Xifeng had some scruples and used only one phoenix claw to conquer the city...
Even though she was very careful, her neck tightened and her body was suppressed by an arm. Then she saw Ping'er, who was hiding far away from the opposite side, being pulled over in the same way and facing her face to face.
They all knew that their men had been awakened by them.
But when she raised her head and glanced up, she still had her eyes closed without any conscience, and her expression didn't even change at all. If it weren't for the arms pressing on her shoulders that were firmly controlling her, it would have been as if she had seen a ghost.
Then looking at Ping'er who didn't dare to move, Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Lian's chest and said softly: "Get up when you wake up, why are you pretending..."
Wang Xifeng has never been a submissive person. After saying this, she began to think of ways to escape from Jia Lian's control.
However, Jia Lian refused to let her get her way, and after twisting and turning for a long time, she couldn't get her way, so she opened her mouth in shame and bit Jia Lian's chest as a threat.
"Pa~"
I received a slap on my butt, and then I finally heard that familiar voice: "Smelly bitch, do you really bite me?"
Jia Lian threw Wang Xifeng away and rubbed his chest. It was wet and bumpy. It was conceivable that Feng Lazi's unique tooth marks must have been left on it.
"Hehehe..."
Wang Xifeng, who finally got away, sat on the couch half-stretched, looking at Jia Lian's annoyed look, wiping her lips, feeling very proud.
But when she saw Ping'er acting like a filial and virtuous wife, stretching out her hands to massage Jia Lian, she felt unhappy. She patted Ping'er on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't feel bad. Go and give it to your second master."
Make arrangements for washing up and breakfast, it’s almost time.”
Hearing this, Ping'er hurriedly got up and went to bed, quickly put on his clothes and went.
Wang Xifeng also took her own clothes from the side and put them on on the couch.
Two middle coats and middle trousers were put on. Looking back, Jia Lian was still resting his head on his hands, looking at her without blinking, obviously peeking at the way she was dressing, maybe even Ping'er...
"Are you satisfied?"
"What's satisfying?"
Seeing the smile on Jia Lian's face, it was obvious that she was getting an advantage and was acting obediently. Although Wang Xifeng was annoyed, she couldn't help it. Just thinking about some of her experiences last night, she felt her ears burning and lowered her head, not daring to look at Jia Lian.
Seeing this, Jia Lian finally sat up, hugged Wang Xifeng from behind, and smiled in her ear: "I should be the one to ask you, were you satisfied last night?"
"Bah~!"
Compared to scoundrels, Wang Xifeng cannot compare with Jia Lian after all.
He stood up, asked Jia Lian to stay, and then dressed him himself.
Just when he was squatting down to serve Jia Lian, he noticed that Jia Lian was acting restlessly again, and he couldn't help but cursed with blushing cheeks: "What a loser!"
In this regard, Jia Lian could only say that being vigorous and vigorous is the beauty and advantage of this age.
In another twenty years, maybe you will know how to cherish it...
After putting on the official uniform prepared last night, Wang Xifeng could not help but discuss some things with Jia Lian before Ping'er came back.
"The housekeepers and wives really didn't let me take care of them when they brought the money. Are you sure your two little girls can figure it out? If something goes wrong, don't blame me..."
How majestic and comfortable is it to sit in the house and wait for the housekeepers and daughters-in-law to obediently bring money to your door?
If Jia Lian didn't have a reasonable explanation, she would definitely have a hand in it.
"This is not a difficult matter, what's unclear about it?
Do you think those housekeepers and daughters-in-law still dare to play tricks? If so, I would be happy. If they give me a legitimate reason to deal with them, what other reason should I not accept?
Aren't you unhappy that I was left alone to play with Wei Feng last night? If there really is such a person today, how about I let you take care of it?"
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she snorted angrily.
She and Jia Lian are not on the same level of prestige. Those housekeepers and grandmothers all have backings.
In order to deal with Shan Daliang last night, Jia Lian was called in for questioning. If it were her, she didn't believe she could withstand the pressure of two layers of mother-in-law!
If you think so in your heart, you won't show weakness with your mouth.
Jia Lian did not argue with her about this. In order to prevent her from going back on her word and seizing Xiangling's rights after he went to the Yamen, he added: "I told the slaves last night that I would not let this matter be made public, and also to let them
Peace of mind.
They probably won't be too afraid of a Xiangling. But your mistress Lian is different. Who in the house doesn't know how powerful you are?
If you were in charge, and their hearts would tremble, how could they dare to give out money?
Besides, as my wife, you should uphold my authority. You don’t want me to be someone who breaks my word, do you?”
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, his meaning was very clear.
If you dare to interfere in this matter, I will beat you to death when you come back.
Wang Xifeng had already agreed last night, but just now she was just testing Jia Lian's bottom line out of habit.
Hearing what he said about "lady", he felt embarrassed on his face, so he smiled and said: "Come on, I'll listen to you. But it's not a trivial matter after all. I'll arrange for a few ladies to be at your disposal in the courtyard. If anything happens,
They are also very helpful.
To put it bluntly, what if the housekeeper and his wife bully your two girls because of their status?
Don't worry, I will give them instructions and let them follow the arrangements, and they will never be allowed to enter the west wing. Is that okay?"
Jia Lian nodded, Wang Xifeng always did a good job in details.
After talking about this, Jia Lian talked to Wang Xifeng about the arrangements for Dongkuayuan.
Among them, he wanted to encircle the back of Jia Sheyuan and build a small martial arts arena. There was not much discussion. Wang Xifeng already knew about it, and she was not very interested.
But when it comes to the arrangements of the concubines in Jia She's house, Wang Xifeng becomes energetic!
"Really, send them all away?"
Wang Xifeng stood up from her seat, walked half a circle in front of Jia Lian, and suddenly smiled and said: "Don't you men all wish to have as many women as possible? The women in the master's house, although they don't have much to do, are quite pretty.
…
Are you willing to send them all away?
Why don't I give you a suggestion? Anyway, the house over there is spacious and can accommodate those people.
Moreover, their monthly expenses are now paid by the government, so it won’t cost us anything to let them stay at home.
The good thing is, if Mr. Lian becomes interested in the future, he might be able to get started or something..."
Wang Xifeng spoke in a somewhat sinister tone.
It's not entirely her fault, after all, Jia Lian has a criminal record, so she is qualified to tease Jia Lian like this at this time.
Jia Lian spread his hands and nodded: "It's rare for Second Grandma Lian to be so generous. I didn't expect this. Well, since you said so, let's stay..."
"I knew you had no good intentions in your heart!"
Wang Xifeng said it nicely, but when she saw that Jia Lian actually agreed to her words, her expression immediately changed and she looked very angry.
Jia Lian then smiled proudly, grabbed her and sat on his lap, and said with a smile: "Are you jealous?"
Wang Xifeng casually beat Jia Lian, and finally stopped, saying bitterly: "Let's not talk about those who have serious status. The other concubines, the concubines, and the few singers must all be sent out and stay at home.
Sooner or later something will happen!"
Although Jia She had many women and came from a wide range of sources, only two of them, except Mrs.
After all, Jia Zheng was just a serious concubine, so Jia She couldn't be too unconventional.
Jia Lian pinched Wang Xifeng's cheek and said with a smile: "That's right, let you handle this matter.
I will only tell you that although those women are nothing, after all, the matter involves the master, so you should be more careful when handling it.
Our family is no better than it used to be. The eldest sister has just become the imperial concubine, so she should be more careful in everything so as not to ruin her reputation.
So, you first have to talk to the old lady or the eldest lady and see what they mean.
If the old ladies don’t have any big opinions, just send them all away. Just a few points, give them generously if you can, and try not to let people say that our family is harsh and unkind."
Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard this and said, "Hey, I didn't realize it. Our Second Master Lian also knows the word "love". If those housekeepers heard this, I don't know what they would think in their hearts."
While they were talking and laughing, Ping'er was outside greeting them, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stood up. Then Ping'er led Feng'er, Xiaohong and other maids in to help the masters wash up.
…
When Jia Zheng went to court, he set out from the main entrance.
Every day before dawn, Lai Da and others would prepare carriages and horses outside the main gate to escort Jia Zheng to the court.
A perfect sign of being the head of the family.
Jia Lian had no intention of arguing with Jia Zheng on this point. Although Jia Zheng had already gone to court when he set out, Jia Lian still passed through the newly opened corner gate of the East Cross Courtyard.
Inside the gate of Heiyou, Jia Yun, Zhaoer, Zhang Yong and others were all ready to go.
Although he now lives in two houses without separate homes, and he also lives behind Jia Zhengyuan (Rongxi Hall), it is obvious that his work center will still be in Dongkuaoyuan in the future.
This is not bad. Although the house in Dongkuaoyuan is smaller, the site is no smaller than the entire Rongxi Hall.
From then on, it was good for him and Jia Zheng to be on their own side and not interfere with each other.
If he is willing, he can also follow Jia Zheng's example and raise a group of Qingke Xiangong and the like in the Dongkua Courtyard to accompany him to relieve his boredom. The expenses will also be borne by the officials... Of course, he has no such plan at the moment.
And there is an advantage to renovating in the east cross courtyard.
Because the black oil gate of the east cross courtyard was expanded from the former east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, there are no high steps, so he can ride a horse or ride a car inside the courtyard wall, and then go straight out of the gate into the street.
But when Jia Zheng went to court, he could only walk out of the gate and get into the sedan chair in front of the gate.
What's the benefit? If someone places a shooter on the opposite side, the time when Jia Zheng gets on the sedan chair will be a good opportunity for a sneak attack...
The officials in the Military and Horse Department had known that arrangements for Jia Lian's father's funeral had been completed, and expected that he would take office within the next two days, so they were all prepared.
Therefore, even if Jia Lian did not say hello in advance, when he arrived at the Bingsima Yamen with his personal guards, the officials working in the Bingsima Department still stood in front of the main hall to greet him.
"Commander, please forgive me~"
"My lords, you don't need to be polite... My lords have worked hard these days while I am away from the Yamen..."
All the officials rushed to greet Jia Lian. After entering the inner hall, they all changed their colors and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty on being awarded the title of Noble Lord..."
Jia Lian looked at these subordinates with a smile, guessing that they must have discussed it in advance, otherwise they would not be so uniform.
I first asked him to express my condolences outside, and then came to congratulate him later.
These people in the officialdom really have their own way of doing things.
After thanking them for their kindness, Jia Lian immediately started his routine without too much politeness.
Because he had made proper arrangements before asking for leave, letting Fan Jin, an experienced officer, take over his duties. And the ministry has not appointed the next deputy commander so far, so the yamen is very quiet and peaceful.
"By the way, I have something important to report to you, sir."
"Due to the recent arrival of Princess Zhaoyang, the Crown Prince is going to invite Princess Zhaoyang for an outing at the Royal Horse Garden outside the city. Many princes, princes, and grandsons will be present at that time. It is related to the safety of many nobles. The Beijing Camp has sent us an order to the west and north.
The Central Military and Horse Divisions each allocated 500 men and horses to set up border defenses in specific areas.
Sir, please see, this is the area that our Western Army and Horses Division is responsible for."
Fan Jin brought a drawing and asked Jia Lian to read it.
Jia Lian had heard that Princess Zhaoyang was the biological sister of the fourth prince.
A few days ago, the fourth prince made a special trip to ask for blood ginseng in order to prepare a birthday gift for his sister.
It is rumored that Princess Zhaoyang is extremely favored in the royal family and her status is very unusual.
Jia Lian couldn't help but pay attention to it and asked for details.
