A conference came to an end, and what was left behind was not only the shock of the Lai family's greedy wealth, but also the awe of Jia Lian, the second master of the mansion. Hui
From today's incident, everyone can probably see that the absolute talker in the Jia family now is the second master Lian, who has the dignity of a marquis. After all, the second master Lian even told the Lai family to take it.
It happened, and it was under the circumstances that Jia’s mother intervened on her own.
Who would dare to go against the will of Mr. Lian like this? There is probably no one left. No one dares to compare themselves with the dignity of the Lai family. If they could, they should be like the Lai family and have accumulated a dozen or two
A fortune of one hundred thousand!
Mrs.
I know, let them be more defensive, but they didn't take my words seriously, so over time I stopped talking.
It’s you who can eradicate these borers completely.”
The more Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Lian, the more satisfied she became. She had never expected that Jia Lian could take down the Lai family. She even did not dare to have such an idea, otherwise she would definitely be severely criticized by the protective mother Jia.
But Jia Lian did it. In front of Jia Mu, he uprooted the Lai family tree with deep roots... Tsk tsk, the family property of more than 100,000 taels is much richer than the eldest wife like her. No, there is no comparison at all.
, it’s not on the same level at all, and sometimes it’s irritating to think about it.
The more this happened, the more she wanted to curry favor with Jia Lian. After all, Jia Lian, his nominal son, was pretty good to her. At least her life now was much more comfortable than when Jia She was around. Hui
Now that she has to worry about food and clothing, she doesn't have to be as scrupulous and stingy as before. Because Jia Lian said that if anything is missing, just talk to the couple. What is this? This is the confidence! In the past,
Jia She has no rules for spending money, but if she dares to spend a penny randomly, she will definitely be scolded or even beaten...
When she was internally satisfied, she became more confident when communicating with other married women. She talked about how wonderful Jia Lian's son was when she met everyone, and others also praised her for her good fortune. Compared with other old ladies at home, she was even better than before.
Respect her. This makes her feel that now she truly has a first-class destiny and real dignity!
In her heart, she regretted not caring enough and being close to Jia Lian before she became successful. Fortunately, Jia Lian didn't seem to care, so she wanted to make up for it. As long as there was a chance, she would always sell well in front of Jia Lian. In short,
We must not let Jia Lian, a son who has a good way of making money, be separated from her.
Mrs.
One, the others, are all idiots, right?
That is to say, Mrs. Wang is a wealthy woman and has never had a verbal contest with her sister-in-law who has no brains. Therefore, she pretended to sigh and said that she did not expect that Lai and Da would dare to act so boldly, otherwise she would have warned her a long time ago.
Jia Zheng cleaned up his house.
Yes, Mrs. Wang also agrees with Jia Lian's actions today. But she is not pure, because before, she still had the attitude of sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight between Jia Lian and Jia Mu, preparing to watch the show.
But when Jia Lian came out with the results of the Lai family's search, her attitude immediately changed. Especially when she saw that Jia Lian had no selfish motives at all and said that after returning the Lai family's property to the officialdom, she raised her hands to support Jia Lian.
.hui
Okay, the official treasury, which was originally tight, suddenly became rich again. The Lai family is pretty good...
No one likes to be poor. In the past two years, the officialdom has been tight, and there have been many things in the government. Her private husband has had to subsidize a lot from outside! Now it is better, at least in two or three years, she will not have such troubles again.
Naturally, Jia Zheng, a benevolent gentleman, would not argue with Mrs. Xing. When the matter was over, Lai and the other two had been dragged down by Jia Lian's guards to beat the enemy. Feeling a little unbearable, he said goodbye to Jia Lian and prepared to return to Mengpo Zhai.
"Sir, please wait a minute. My nephew has one more thing. He is going to tell the master and the second wife."
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, when I came back from the Western Regions,
I heard from the second wife that in order to build the garden, our government borrowed a total of 80,000 taels of silver from Dongfu, so that’s it.”
Jia Zheng paused and remained silent. Of course he knew about borrowing money from Dongfu. Unable to understand what Jia Lian meant, he had to reply: "You have to ask your second wife about this matter, but I don't know much about it."
This is not a lie, because he did not come forward about the loan, it was Mrs. Wang who came forward to tell Youshi.
Mrs. Wang guessed what Jia Lian meant as soon as she heard it. In front of You, she would not lie. She said bluntly: "It is indeed like this. In August of the first year, 50,000 yuan was spent. It was originally expected to be enough to build the garden."
Yes, later I prepared decorations to welcome relatives and others, and borrowed another 30,000 yuan, making the total total exactly 80,000 yuan."
Jia Lian then laughed and said: "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. In the past, when our house was building a garden, the east house helped us when we had difficulties. It was their friendship. Now that the Lai family has been eradicated and their embezzlement and greedy property has been taken back, these 80,000 taels will be taken out.
Come, repay Dongfu, what do you think, sir and madam?"
Youshi also walked up from the courtyard at this time. Hearing Jia Lian's words, he hurriedly said: "We don't have anything big to do in the house over there, and we are not in a hurry to use money, so there is no need to be busy."
It's okay if You didn't say that. When he mentioned Jia Zheng, he said directly: "Lian'er is right. Although the two houses are close relatives, since they have borrowed money, they should repay it as soon as possible. Just do as you say.
You just have to make up your own mind about the specifics, I'll get back to you first."
The screams of Lai Da and his wife came, but he didn't want to hear it, so he finished speaking in a hurry and walked away.
When Mrs. Wang saw that both Jia Zheng and Jia Lian had the same intention, she naturally couldn't stop her. However, Mrs. Xing felt that Jia Lian was too honest and she didn't know how to keep it while she was busy. The real owner even said there was no need to worry.
.hui
It was just her opinion that no one paid much attention to, so it was left alone.
When the people were gone, Lai and the two were dragged up. Jia Lian only took a brief look and directly ordered: "Send them back to rest for three days. After three days, Lin Zhixiao will arrange for a few people to escort them to Zhuangzi in the north.
In addition, after all, Lai Da once served my family well and is now very old. I allow his family members, especially his son and daughter-in-law, to go north together and enter my farm in Jia Mansion to serve and support me."
When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he thought to himself that if Jia Lian really sympathized with Lai Da, as long as Lai Da was not prohibited from bringing his family, his children would naturally be able to follow him. After thinking for a while, he understood what Jia Lian meant, so he hurriedly said: "If his son and daughter-in-law don't
Are you willing?"
The dozen or so farms to the north of Jia Mansion are all in extremely cold places and are not suitable for living.
"As a human being, filial piety comes first, there is nothing you don't want to do."
Jia Lian didn't take it seriously at all, he just left after saying this.
Lai Shangrong was knocked out of his confidence by Jia Lian's previous slap. Now he found out that Jia Lian wanted him to go to the north to serve his parents. He felt that his future was greatly hindered, so he couldn't care about anything and shouted loudly: "No, I
If you can’t go, I will have to start a business next year. If I go to the north, my business will be over..."
Unfortunately, Jia Lian didn't seem to hear him at all and didn't even look back.
Although Lai Da and his wife were seriously injured, they were still mentally alert. After all, Jia Lian's soldiers knew that Jia Lian had no intention of taking their lives.
Although they don't want their son to lose his future, they still feel disappointed now that they are in jail and their son has no intention of being filial.
Lin Zhixiao also looked down upon Lai Shangrong's character and wanted to slap him like Jia Lian.
"You don't have the slightest sense of filial piety, and you still dare to talk about raising a career. If your teacher hears what you just said, let alone raising a career, it would be easy to have your career revoked. Well, you can do it yourself."
Lin Zhixiao pushed Lai Shangrong and then escorted all Lai's family back. Hui
…
Mr. You has come over, so naturally he wants to go in to pay his respects to Jia Mu.
Jia Lian also wanted to appease Jia Mu. Whether it was true or false, it was necessary to show it to others, so he went with You.
"I'm borrowing 80,000 silver from Dongfu. After I count it tomorrow, I'll have someone send it over. Please help me by then.
Sister-in-law checks and accepts."
Nothing happened on the road, Jia Lian said casually.
"I told you, I'm not in a hurry to use the money, so why are you so busy?"
Even so, the way You looked at Jia Lian became more and more gentle and sweet. It was late at night anyway, so there was no need to worry about anyone peeking. Hui
Although it was not easy to borrow the money that day, it was precisely because of Jia Lian's presence that she could borrow it with confidence and not worry about not being able to get it back.
Now it was just as she expected, and of course she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that Jia Lian smiled but didn't reply, Youshi added, "It's you. If you're not busy tomorrow, I'd like to invite you over to sit..."
Jia Lian was a little surprised. You was a cautious person and never dared to invite him. Every time, she waited for him to come over and get lucky. Why is it like this today?
"Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing. Tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. I thought it was her hair extension gift after all, so I planned to give her a seat and didn't invite anyone else. If the second uncle is not free, then forget it, it doesn't matter.
Business."
Jia Lian stopped and asked, "Second Sister You or Third Sister You? Hui"
Looking back at Youshi's face, Jia Lian secretly wondered from the look in her eyes, could it be that she knew about the bullying of her younger sister?
Nodding, Jia Lian did not respond directly, but You understood that Jia Lian had agreed, so he stopped talking and walked to Rongqing Hall in silence.
I found that Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, Sanchun and others were all there.
Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang seemed to be working together to rescue Jia Mu, while the Sanchun sisters were sitting next to them with blank expressions. When they saw Jia Lian coming in, they stood up to greet them.
Jia's mother seemed to have lingering resentment against Jia Lian. When she saw Jia Lian come in, her expression changed, and she fell asleep half-relying on the high couch.
Seeing this, Sister Feng gave Jia Lian a smiling look, but Jia Lian understood. What she meant was: It's okay, everything has been coaxed, I am awesome, please praise me.
"My grandson pays homage to his ancestors." Hui
Jia Mu ignored it.
"Everything outside has been taken care of, and my grandson is here to ask if our ancestors have any other instructions."
silence.
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Since my ancestor has not given any instructions and it is very late, my grandson will not disturb my ancestor's rest and will leave first."
Jia Lian greeted Jia Mu but ignored him. Jia Lian said he was leaving, but Jia Mu suddenly made some noise.
"Mama Lai has been with me for most of her life. She has served me much longer than you sons and grandsons. No matter how you deal with Lai, she is always the one you should respect."
"What the old lady said is that when we searched Lai's house before, our grandson gave special instructions not to bump into Lai's mother..." Hui
"Just confiscate the huge amount of family property that came from shady sources. You can keep their house for them to provide for Grandma Lai to take care of her in her old age."
Jia Lian was silent for a moment. The Lai family's house, after several expansions by the Lai family, is very valuable. But after all, it is a private house, and the specifications cannot be improved, so it is just like that. Now that Jia's mother has spoken, Jia Lian still wants to save face.
given.
"Just do what our ancestors said, and leave the house to Mother Lai to take care of her in her old age."
Jia Lian's attitude finally made Jia's mother feel relieved, so she sat back, looked at Jia Lian, and said for a long time: "I don't know who you followed. In terms of ignorance, you can't compare to your father, and in terms of generosity, you are not even as good as you."
Grandfather, I know, he said that you are independent-minded and can't tolerate people who are stupid in your eyes, but if you don't know, I'm afraid I'll scold you for being greedy for money, plucking your feathers, even ransacking your slaves' homes, and you're addicted..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Lian said with a smile: "My ancestors were joking. If the slaves are loyal and the grandchildren are not stingy and merciful, they naturally don't have to worry about being raided. Encountered
If the Lai family is like this, we can only act according to family laws."
"Yes, yes, you are right anyway."
Jia Mu cursed, and then she couldn't help but laugh. Hui
Speaking of which, she was just trying to save her face tonight, and she wasn't really angry at Jia Lian for robbing Lai's family.
Doesn’t she know that the government’s finances are deteriorating? But,
A servant of the Lai family has accumulated an exaggerated wealth. Even a fool can see what's going on. Doesn't she, the old lady of the Jia family, hate her in her heart?
Therefore, after sending away the crying Aunt Lai, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Jia Mu like this, others dared to smile.
An old lady laughed and said, "The old lady said she didn't know who Second Master Lian had followed. In my opinion, Second Master Lian seems to have followed both the old Duke and the previous generation of Dukes."
The old ladies who can always be by Jia Mu's side know what Jia Mu wants.
"Second Master Lian's handsome and unrestrained appearance certainly followed that of the old Duke. But his temperament seems to have followed that of the previous Duke. Hui
I remember when we were still maids, the first-generation Duke of the country was like Mr. Lian, who governed the family with military laws. At that time, all the servants in the mansion were very well-behaved, for fear of accidentally violating the family rules.
Severely punished by military law."
The second generation Rongguo Gong was recognized as an elegant man, and he was also the husband of Jia Mu, so Jia Mu was very happy whenever someone from the past mentioned or praised him. These old ladies were also fine people and said that Jia Lian was handsome and unrestrained.
Following the old Duke Rong, Jia Mu was naturally smiling.
Jia Lian curiously asked, "Oh, when the Duke of that generation was still alive, was there a slave like Lai Da in the family?"
The old grandma was stunned, and then said: "How can that be possible? Let alone someone like Lai Da, even if you just take a little bit, you may lose your head..."
As she said this, she seemed to think that she might be pointing at Jia Mu, so the old grandma stepped back consciously.
Of course Jia Mu was also aware of this, but she was quite generous. She just hummed and said: "Okay, I know that you admire the idea of a generation of Dukes in running a family, but my and your grandfather's methods of running a family are also different.
Not necessarily wrong.
You don’t know the situation back then. Not to mention the slaves, your grandfather and I were always very nervous for fear of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing... Hui
That’s all, I’m old anyway, so I don’t have the trouble to argue with you. You are still responsible for this family, and you can manage it however you want, as long as you don’t lose the reputation of your ancestors.”
With that said, Jia Mu was really too lazy to pay attention to Jia Lian and drove him away with a wave of her hand.
