Chapter 390 Waiting for the thunder to strike the head
"What the hell kind of weather is this!"
The pouring rain suddenly and inexplicably stopped, but the sky did not clear up. There were only thunder followed by flashes in the leaden gray clouds, which made people panic.
Lai Da looked at the bad weather, muttered, and took the two boys into Jia Lian's yard again.
At this time, his back was much stiffer, and this time he came under Jia Zheng's "strict order" - if Jia Lian dared to say "no" again, then let the servants escort him!
.
As soon as I entered the hospital, I met Ping'er.
Ping'er, always steady, smiled at Lai Da and said:
"Uncle Lai is here to see Second Master Lian, right? He called the old lady."
Lai Da was stunned, but Ping'er said steadily:
"The second master was waiting for what the old lady said just now. Butler Lai didn't even listen to her words before leaving. Don't let me misunderstand that it would be better if the second master didn't go."
Hey! Hey! Hey! Why is it that I am the one who "leave without listening to the end of my story"??? What you are doing is just a slap in the face!
Lai Da only felt that he was being dug into a trap by Jia Lian. He was so angry that he could not help but feel angry.
But I didn’t dare to show it on my face, so I had to laugh twice and said:
"Then I'll go and give the master a reply."
As soon as he turned around, he heard Ping'er say:
"In this weather, Butler Lai shouldn't run back and forth.
The old lady also sent someone to invite the master to come over, saying she had something to ask."
Upon hearing this, Lai Da suddenly felt happy:
It seems that my daughter-in-law went to the old lady's place to give Jia Lian "eye medicine" and it worked.
What's more, I just met the Zhou Rui family and stabbed Jia Lian in the back. The Zhou Rui family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she will inevitably go to Mrs. Wang for the sake of her uncle.
Mrs. Wang was originally going to drive Jia Lian and his wife back to the big house. Isn't this just an opportunity?
Hehe, there are old ladies and madams inside, and the master outside. There are attacks from both inside and outside. I think you, Jia Lian, have the ability to go to heaven and earth. This time, you will be able to choke!
You have lost the stewardship of the Rongguo Mansion, and you will definitely not be able to keep the affairs of the Provincial Family Courtyard this time. From now on, you will have no say in the Rongguo Mansion!
Humph! I told you that you want to take advantage of our Lai family. This time I will let you know how much you weigh!
.
If it were Wang Xifeng, he would definitely go in for convenience and go directly through the back door of Jia Mu's main room.
Jia Lian was not as presumptuous as she was, so he went around the corner gate and came through the mountain corridor. He saw all kinds of parrots, thrushes and other birds in the corridors on both sides. They were so frightened by the thunder that they shrank their necks, flapped their wings, and stopped screaming. When the maids watching outside the house saw Jia Lian coming, someone immediately called back inside: "Second Master Lian is here!" Someone else quickly opened the curtain cage to let Jia Lian in.
Jia Lian entered the room and saw that apart from Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, only Aunt Xue was sitting with Baochai.
Aunt Xue and Baochai? It’s our Jia family’s own affairs. If you, the Xue family, don’t take the initiative to say goodbye at this time, you can see that you are just waiting for a good show.
Jia Lian came forward to see them one by one. After the ceremony was completed, Jia's mother looked as usual and asked Jia Lian:
"You've been out in charge of the provincial residence these days. How are you doing?"
Just as Jia Lian was about to speak, Mrs. Wang said coldly:
"I heard that yesterday Wu Xindeng, who was in charge of the bank, was taken to the Yamen by you. Today, Qian Hua, who is in charge of purchasing, has also disappeared, causing people to panic.
The old lady asked you to take care of the affairs of the Provincial Family Courtyard. It's a good idea for you to do so. Now everything is in chaos outside."
When Jia Mu heard this, she seemed to be shocked, but did not say anything.
Jia Lian said casually to Mrs. Wang:
"I'm working hard on the external matters. Please don't worry, madam."
Jia Zheng hasn't come yet, and the show can't begin yet.
.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have always pretended to be united and harmonious in front of Jia Mu, no matter how dissatisfied they were secretly.
But at this time, Mrs. Wang thought she was reasonable and she was Jia Lian's elder, so she sneered:
"You want me not to be anxious? You've made this family miserable, and you want me not to be anxious?
The master has only been absent from the government for two days, and you have already caused lawlessness. Is this okay?
Lian Er, please understand. The reason why you and your wife were asked to come over to help manage the affairs of this mansion was not to corrupt Rongguo Mansion."
Mrs. Wang was anxious for a moment, so what she said was a bit inappropriate, because it was Jia's mother's idea to let Jia Lian and his wife manage the Rongguo Mansion.
This is the method that Jia Mu believes can best balance the interests of the two sons.
Jia Lian is the biological son of Jia She, and Wang Xifeng is the niece of Jia Zheng's wife. They are a close family, and they are each representatives of the interests of the eldest house and the second house. Let them manage the Rongguo Mansion, which should be able to balance the eldest house.
Distribute the interests with the second house so that one family will not be the dominant one and no one in the other family will be able to speak.
Mrs. Wang fired at Jia Lian as soon as she came up. Mrs. Xing suddenly felt that this was directed at her, and immediately stood by Jia Lian:
"Although Lian Er is young, he is one of the most capable children in our family. Saying that he corrupted the Rongguo Mansion? He cannot afford it.
Since he said he is dealing with it, he has his reasons. As elders, we should support our children no matter what. There is no reason to talk about our children for the sake of subordinates."
When Jia Mu heard this, she naturally understood that both the first and second bedrooms would take the opportunity to make trouble, so she pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:
"As a mother, you naturally trust your son. I, the grandmother, and she, the aunt, may not be inferior to you.
He is just a child, if he learns to do things, there is no guarantee that he will not..."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside reported: "The great master is here!"
Everyone was stunned:
Why is it "The great master has arrived" and not "The master has arrived"?
.
Then the curtain was lifted, and it was really not Jia Zheng who came in, but Jia She who was helped in by Cuiyun and Jiaohong.
This is the sun rising in the west.
Jia Zhengping often came to Jia Mu's house to visit Cheng Huan, but Jia She would never show up in Jia Mu's house except during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year.
Jia She's sudden arrival is really unusual.
Although Jia's mother didn't like Jia She, she was her own flesh and blood after all. Seeing him now, she felt happy and asked him to sit down.
Before Jia She could sit firmly, someone else reported: "The master is here!"
.
When Jia Mu saw that Jia Zheng looked wrong, she spoke first:
"After all, it's all a family's business. It's hard to explain clearly if you are so anxious and pale-faced.
Lian Er is young and it is time for them to learn how to do things. Even if there are some omissions or mistakes, being able to tolerate them is the way to make them grow."
Jia Zheng did not dare to contradict Jia Mu, but at this time he was holding back his anger and said:
"If he just made an omission, it would be fine, but if he arrests people without asking any questions, is he not bullying others? Where is the face of our ancestors?"
Before Jia Mu opened her mouth, Jia She sneered:
"Catch when you need to, and take when you need to, without losing the spirit of our princes. I think they are much better than those timid and timid bookworms."
