East across the courtyard, behind Jia Lian’s independent courtyard.
This place is no longer the same as before. It has been repaired and made open and flat. The courtyard walls on the west side have also been completely demolished, and a horse racing path about two feet wide leads directly from here to the courtyard outside.
Because it was late today, Jia Lian simply practiced a set of boxing techniques and a set of sword techniques in the inner courtyard.
This was given to him by the old man. It is said that he has summed up the most practical fighting method on the battlefield after many battles.
Originally, Jia Lian still didn't believe in these things. The previous training with Zhang Yong and others was just a blind practice. Anyway, in his opinion, it was just like practicing in the gym in later generations. It was enough to improve his physical fitness.
Is it really like in the TV series, where you can practice Qinggong and float on water? Now he knows that he probably underestimated traditional martial arts. There is no golden bell, iron shirt, but the skill of killing people can really be practiced.
At least, Jia Lian now feels that using the things the old man taught him, not only killing a hundred people on the battlefield, but with eyes and ears in all directions, a few ordinary soldiers holding ordinary weapons will definitely not be able to get close to him.
Therefore, since Jia Lian learned martial arts from the old man, he has become more serious than before.
This is why the old man is so happy every time he goes to Linzi's uncle's house. He even kicks his grandson Zhang Tao aside and likes to coach him alone every time.
There is no way, although Zhang Tao also likes to practice martial arts, he is a bit small, which is a disadvantage in martial arts.
The old man might think that letting him take over the mantle would lose his grace as an old man...
Practicing alone would inevitably be boring. Occasionally, Jia Lian would let sisters A Qi and A Qin off the field to practice.
That's all Aqi, she really dared to hit him hard if he asked her to use her full strength. As for her younger sister Aqin, it's hard to say enough.
"Ah, I didn't hit you hard, did you?"
"Well, my foot is twisted..."
Such delicate sounds that should not appear in the martial arts training field greatly affected Jia Lian's study.
"Is it really weird this time?"
Jia Lian saw her sitting on the ground, looking a bit in pain, so he walked over to check her injuries.
Suddenly, I saw several gorgeous women walking in the corridor, as if they had discussed it, and they arrived gracefully.
"Second Master, you have worked hard on practicing. Let's have a bowl of white fungus soup..."
"Second Master, are you hungry? This is a snack made by the slave family. Second Master, please try it."
Jia Lian let go of Ah Qin's ankle and asked Ah Qi to send her sister back to the house first.
Then he looked at the pretty women in front of him, frowned and asked, "Has your second grandma told you already?"
This is not the first time that the women in Jia She's house have shown their affection to him.
Ever since Jia She's funeral was not over, some women who thought they were pretty were paying him frequent glances, hinting that they wanted to take refuge with him.
Especially later, when Wang Xifeng approached Jia's mother to discuss a way to get rid of him, the news spread, and these women came to express their love for the house and their loyalty to him wherever they could find him.
Perhaps they themselves regard themselves as property, and it is very common for a father to die and his son to succeed.
Moreover, wasn’t the former Second Master Lian just good at this...
"Look at how much sweat there is on the Second Master's body. Please wipe it off..."
These women are holding on to their last hope and intend to use their last capital, which is their relatively young and attractive bodies, to confuse Jia Lian.
As long as Jia Lian thinks they are still useful, they can naturally stay.
Second Master Lian is not as good as the old master. He is young and strong. If he gives birth to a son and a half daughters in the future, the mother will be more valuable than the son...
Therefore, they pretended not to see Jia Lian's deliberate indifference, and took the initiative to come up to him. Some used embroidered handkerchiefs to wipe his sweat, and some used cattail fans to fan him, which was an extremely flattering move.
But seeing that Jia Lian remained unmoved and even looked at them with indifferent eyes, as if he could see through their hearts, that feeling made them a little scared and they did not dare to go too far.
When they all stopped and didn't dare to wipe away their oil... and wiped away their sweat, Jia Lian turned around and said coldly: "Let's go and talk in the house."
Well, the room said... is everyone together?
Several women looked at each other, wishful thinking that their efforts had paid off.
It wasn't until they followed Jia Lian up the corridor step by step and watched him walking towards the bright house that they gradually realized that maybe they were overthinking it.
Here is the room of Er Ye's two female guards.
In the room, Sister Aqi looked a little strange as Jia Lian brought a group of women in, but they still brought the only free chair in the room for Jia Lian to sit on.
Gu Song
"What did your second grandma tell you?"
Seeing Jia Lian acting businesslike, all the women began to cry after a short period of adaptation.
What they were talking about was how ruthless and indifferent Wang Xifeng was, how reluctant they were to leave the house, and how they would not be able to survive outside the house.
Anyway, it’s just about playing the emotional card.
But Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng was quite lenient to them this time. In the Sister Feng Courtyard, Wang Xifeng and his clothes were favored before, so she told him about this matter.
It turned out that Wang Xifeng wanted to get rid of all the foxy people in Jia She's house.
It's just that Jia Mu didn't agree to send away those formal aunts... The aunts who lived in the Duke's house at that time are still alive.
Although he no longer walks around in front of people, he is indeed living well in the house.
This is the dignity of a big family. Once you become a woman of the Jia family, you will be the ghost of the Jia family after death.
Let it go and don't even think about it.
Wang Xifeng did not dare to disobey, so she could only let those aunts go. This morning, according to the roster that had been prepared long ago, she called together all the people on the list and announced the arrangements for them.
Everyone is free.
If you have family members, you can ask your family members to pick you up within one month.
If you have no relatives, if you have relatives you can seek refuge with, the same goes for asking relatives to pick you up. If you have no relatives, or you may not trust your relatives, you can find other ways, and you can leave the house after receiving the money.
Here, Wang Xifeng did not follow Jia Lian's wishes.
She did the segmentation.
She divided Jia She's concubines and maids into categories, distinguishing those who were once powerful, those who were not, and those who had an unsatisfactory life.
Those who are powerful will naturally have accumulated a lot of friends in the past.
As long as they can tell the source of their wealth, such as being rewarded or respected by subordinates, as long as the origin is legitimate, they can take it out of the mansion on their own. Otherwise, the mansion will not distribute any other money, because they probably won't look down upon it if it is given to them.
.
As for those who are not in power and have an unsatisfactory life, they will be given severance pay ranging from twenty to fifty taels according to the actual situation...
All in all, Wang Xifeng took the strategy to the extreme based on the strategy given by Jia Lian. It was a little more advantageous and she would not let them fool them!
After hearing this, Jia Lian felt that it was okay.
After all, Jia She was a typical prodigal, losing tens of thousands of dollars on average every year, and a large part of this money went to the hands of these women.
Finally, Wang Xifeng said that if he was really lonely and had no place to go, and was willing to stay in the mansion, he could sign a death contract and then be assigned to the servants in the mansion. From then on, he would become a member of the family.
Wang Xifeng's behavior was polite, courteous, affectionate and lawful, and was highly praised by her family members.
Therefore, it will not work for these women to try to paralyze Jia Lian.
"You don't have to beg me. Your second grandma has been very lenient to you this time, and her handling method has been approved by the old lady. Even I can't violate it.
Don't say anything about being reluctant to leave. It's important to go out as soon as possible while you are still young and have capital to find your own destination.
To tell you the truth, when the things in the house are over, even a few aunts and grandmothers will have to be released, let alone you."
For Jia Lian, he wanted a clean territory.
For those women, if they stay in the house all the time, they have no hope other than death. As time goes by, things will inevitably happen.
Therefore, it is better to send them all away.
As for why a concubine cannot be sent away, that is just an explanation of etiquette. In fact, as long as Jia Lian doesn't care about someone putting a hat on his father, he can send it out directly.
There are too many situations like this among aristocratic families. Each family has different ways and methods on how to deal with it.
As for Jia She's women, the reason why they want to stay in the mansion is because they can't let go of the wealthy and privileged life in Rongguo Mansion. They also fantasize about being taken over by Jia Lian in the future.
Seeing Jia Lian's attitude expressed at this time, he knew that this was an extravagant hope. After thinking about it, he felt that what Jia Lian said was not bad. While he was young and beautiful, he might be able to go out and find a real person to marry. From now on, he would have someone to rely on for the rest of his life.
Like duckweed without roots.
To be honest, letting them out of the house is a kindness, not harsh treatment.
So, one by one, they glanced at the Aqin sisters who were eyeing them, and then at the immovable Jia Lian...
So I went back and continued to figure out how to take more money out of the house.
