Chapter 363 Slap the Wang Family and Xue Family in the Face
Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Mother Jia had already spoken first:
"Lian Er, this matter was brought to light by you, and you are responsible for handling it."
Mrs. Wang felt a lump in her heart, and she took a deep breath.
Jia Lian naturally did his part, pondered for a moment, and said to Jia Mu:
"The grandson tells me how to deal with it. If the old lady feels something is wrong, she can criticize the grandson and the grandson will also benefit from it."
Jia Mu nodded and said:
"Just tell me."
Jia Lian nodded and said:
"As the saying goes: The master bullies the slave, and the slave bullies the master.
We are a loyal heirloom, and we will never bully slaves for nothing. If we spread the word, we will lose the face of our ancestors.
But if the slave bullies the master, it will break the moral order, and if word spreads, it will only bring shame to the ancestors.
What's more, there are still several young ladies in our house who have not yet left the court. If they are stepped on and bullied by slaves at home, and these unscrupulous slaves take advantage of it and spread it to the outside world, wouldn't it mean that the family tradition of our Jia family is not right and the education of girls in the Jia family is not right?
If you are not enough and cannot be a director of the family, how will you gain a foothold in your husband's family in the future?"
.
These few words of his spoke exactly what was in Jia Mu's heart.
She married into the Jia family at the age of fifteen, starting out as a daughter-in-law for her great-grandson, and now she also has a great-grandson's daughter-in-law. It took fifty years and many years for her daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law, and finally became the most virtuous and respected ancestor of the Jia family. She enjoyed peace of mind.
A lot of wealth and honor, and also experienced many big and small things.
When she was young, Mother Jia had to serve the three generations of elders above her every day. It was also the time when the Jia family was at its peak, and she was constantly seeing and sending guests to and from high-ranking people every day. However, she still had to be thoughtful and orderly in everything, and be able to manage the household.
, being filial to your elders is the right thing to do. Is there any day when you are not ten times busier than Wang Xifeng?
In the decades she has been the mistress of the Jia family, Jia Mu thinks she has done a pretty good job.
Now that she is old, it is because she knows that running a house is not an easy task, so she tries to be tolerant to her younger generations and servants. As long as she can see through it, she will save trouble and keep silent, so as not to let the new generation of mistress, Mrs. Wang, think she is
Picky.
As an old man, she can make do with the current chaos in the Jia family, but if it concerns the lifelong happiness of her most beloved grandchildren, she can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Mother Jia has always taken her granddaughters with her to educate them, hoping to find a decent husband's family for them and connect the Jia family with capable in-laws. This is also the last thing she can do for the family.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Wang does not have such a vision.
.
Jia Mu waved to Jia Lian:
"Come, sit next to me and talk carefully."
Jia Lian sat next to Jia Mu and continued:
"I must punish Lai everyone today, and there is a more important reason.
It is because the Lai family has been the slaves of our Jia family for several generations and served them wholeheartedly in the past, so now the mother of the housekeeper Lai is considered to be the top among the slaves of our family.
Up to now, one of the Lai brothers has become the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, and the other has become the chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion. They also gave his son Lai Shangrong freedom and studied with the children of the Jia family since he was a child.
Nowadays, the Lai family has become a wealthy man and has reached the top among the servants.
The Lai family has received such generous treatment from our Jia family. They should have worked harder to repay their kindness.
But this lady who relies on everyone usually has a "rich heart and two decent eyes", and she always talks about "rules" to suppress her master. When the master talks about them, she will say: "Brother, your master, to the servants in the elders' house"
You must be respected. She can talk about you, but you can't talk about her. You always want to trample your young master under your feet. What is this loyalty?
As the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family, she had known for a long time that gambling was rife in the house and the servants were fighting and stealing, but she turned a blind eye and let it go.
Recently, there were thieves and things were lost, and she was asked to carefully check what was missing in each room. She has not yet carefully checked. What evil intentions are hidden here?
Today, the old lady asked her to investigate the gambling incident, but she actually dared not report the information, concealed the truth, used Qiao as a sample, and only used a few shrimps, soldiers, and crabs to fend off the future. Instead, she deliberately left the biggest gambling leader to the Jia family.
In the house, what is this kind of cowardly servant who can't repay kindness with hatred?"
Jia Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"These principles are well said. Today's handling starts from here."
"As ordered." Jia Lian quickly stood up and agreed.
Jia Mu pulled Jia Lian:
"You don't have to get up to answer, just sit down and talk."
How could Mrs. Wang not hate the way Jia Mu treated Jia Lian? How could Mrs. Xing be unhappy?
.
Jia Lian pondered for a moment and said to Jia Mu:
"Because of everyone's knowledge and not reporting it, I deliberately deceived my master and slapped her with forty blows in public. From today on, I am no longer the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's housekeeper, but will be demoted to the second-class stewardess, and will be under the control of Wu Xindeng's family.
If she dares to do the following again, she will be punished together with Wu Xindeng's family.
Old lady, look, can you make it?"
Jia Mu thought: This kid Lian Er is really a ruthless character.
Lai's wife, who has been the leader of the family for many years, was beaten in public this time. She was completely disgraced. Not only that, but she was also sent to serve under her original subordinates. This is considered murderous. <
/p>
But everyone in Lai didn't even dare to express their anger, because Wu Xindeng, who was weighing down on her, was also cursed by Jia Lian to "sitting continuously". In the days to come, she would have to gasp for breath every day.
I don’t dare to speak loudly anymore.
"So." Jia Mu remained calm and continued to ask, "What are you going to do with the rest of the people?"
Jia Lian said in one breath:
"The biggest boss is the mother-in-law of the Xue family. She is not a slave of our family. It is difficult for us to deal with it. We should leave it to sister Xue and ask her to take it back to the Xue family to handle it herself.
It's just that from now on, this Mrs. Hu is not allowed to enter Jia's house. If she enters, which leg will be broken, and whichever slave of our family lets her in, both legs will be broken immediately.
The remaining four big-headed families and eight small-headed families, each with forty big boards, confiscated all their property, drove the whole family out of Jia's house, and were never allowed to enter Jia's house again.
The rest of the twenty-five people found out today who participated in the gambling party also had their property confiscated, and each of them had twenty pieces of money. They were deprived of three months' monthly salary and were assigned to work in the toilet industry. If they make any mistakes after that, they will be kicked out directly.
, will never tolerate it.
The dice, Pai Gow and other gambling tools that were taken out today will be burned in public later when people are being beaten. All the gambling money and the proceeds from the confiscation of houses will be confiscated to the officials."
Jia Mu pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"If you tell me to go down, do this."
.
The old lady said something, but Mrs. Wang didn't dare to contradict her, but she was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth.
But it was Baochai who felt even more uncomfortable.
Jia Lian punished his slaves so severely, but turned the Xue family's mother-in-law, the biggest gambling leader, into a hot potato and threw it in front of the Xue family who was slapped in the face. How should she deal with it? p>
