"My second master, look at how you scared Brother Zhen. They are afraid that you will chop his precious Qianer into pieces."
Wang Xifeng giggled, her eyes and brows full of charm.
While Jia Lian was eating melon seeds, he also looked askance at Wang Xifeng and smiled:
"That boy Jia Qiang is even more handsome than the older girl. Looking at such a tender young melon, I really can't bear to take the knife."
Wang Xifeng frowned and said:
"Someone who is serious at one moment or not at the same time, I don't know whether you are worthy or not."
After a pause, he suddenly came up and asked:
"Speaking of handsome boys, why did I hear that the second master has lost interest in handsome boys recently?
Tou Qian'er, you can't calm down even if you stay overnight, and the prosperous ones take turns asking you to toss them?
You also know that I never get jealous of those boys, so it’s up to you..."
"Stop!"
Jia Lian blocked Wang Xifeng's face with both hands, even if he stopped the frightened horse:
"I have changed my gender. I am not interested in men at all. We will not talk about this topic in the future.
Also, Xing'er and the others are now in charge of affairs in this mansion. As the matron, you have to keep everyone's dignity in the future. Don't even mention the past.
From now on, if anyone makes you 'hear' that I am 'interested or no longer interested' in any boy, you should slap him in the mouth directly.
If you wait until I hear you, it won't be a matter of slapping."
Seeing that Jia Lian was not happy about this topic, Wang Xifeng quickly turned to apologize and said with a smile:
"Brother Cai Zhen called Jia Qiang away in a hurry just now. He probably wants to go back and teach him how to respond to your words."
Jia Lian felt relieved when he saw that Wang Xifeng, who had always been against him in the past, now complied with his wishes, so he smiled and said:
"I have already guessed the results they calculated when they went back.
In all likelihood, they will re-report the accounts in a more orderly manner, spit out the money they swallowed, and say that Brother Zhen paid for Jia Qiang to make up for it.
Then, let Jia Rong come to you with the body of your 'good nephew' so that they can pass my test."
"The second master is now Zhuge Liang, does it count if he can pinch him?"
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian's eyes and glanced at the tea bowl at hand, then quickly got up, took the teapot and poured tea for Jia Lian, and also poured a bowl for herself, returned to the table and sat down and said:
"Jia Qiang just reported the accounts, and I thought the accounts were very clear at first.
After hearing what you said later, I felt something was wrong.
If you think about it carefully, a thousand taels of silver for a young actor is simply outrageous. The attacker in Baoyu House was bought from outside, and his worth at that time was only twenty taels of silver.
I really didn’t realize that this kid Jia Qiang looked honest, but he was really evil and ruthless inside.
Even if others make money by hiding, a half profit is enough. If they are ruthless, they can only make ten times the profit.
It's good for him, it's a hundredfold profit in one fell swoop. No one can make money quickly and reliably like him, killing people, stealing goods, and robbing families."
Jia Lian smiled coldly:
"If Jia Qiang siphoned off the money, how could I care about Jia Rong's purchase of gold and silver vessels?
It was originally said that I was responsible for purchasing curtains, curtains, and furnishing toys and antiques, but in my yamen and at home, there are so many things to do, where do I have time to do that? I have to leave it to others, so how can I take care of it then? p>
If this house is still the same as before, with everyone being greedy, everyone being shady, and being full of traps, in a few years this house will be completely ruined, and then we will all go to the streets to beg for food?" p>
Wang Xifeng lowered his head for a long time and finally said:
"I don't hide it from the Second Master, I have a guilty conscience.
When I was the housekeeper, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang also knew about the loan sharking outside. This matter was not allowed to be brought to light. If they followed me..."
"If they dare to mention this, ask them to come and talk to me." Jia Lian said decisively, "I want to see whether asking you to return the thousand taels of silver that year will be a big deal, or whether it will be a big deal for them to embezzle this sum.
More than 20,000 taels of silver is a big deal."
Wang Xifeng was first shocked by Jia Lian's decisiveness, then reassured, and then even warmed.
For such a man, it seems that nothing in the world can trouble him.
Marrying him makes you feel like you have someone behind you.
.
Wang Xifeng reached out and took Jia Lian’s hand:
"You are really my fair-faced Cao Cao. You are so domineering. I am so lucky to be your woman."
Jia Lian's next sentence made Wang Xifeng open her eyes in shock:
"I have already found a way to solve the usury issue.
I asked the emperor for a favor, and now I have gone through the formalities with the Ministry of Accounts. It won’t be long before our family officially opens an official bank account in Beijing.
When the time comes, it will be more respectable to lend money using an official bank account than to lend money secretly."
"My mother!"
Wang Xifeng was really shocked.
"Are you the grandson of Phoenix? You can open an official account!"
Wang Xifeng felt that the Jia Lian in front of her was simply incredible.
How come this useless man who is so familiar to him always creates unexpected surprises?
How many magical things does he have that he doesn’t know about?
Is he still a human being?
He is not Cao Cao, he is a living god!
.
Jia Lian is really a "Zhuge magician".
When Jia Lian went to the Yamen the next day, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang came to beg Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng sat on the kang, and the two of them knelt beside the kang. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang kowtowed on the ground and begged in a mean voice:
"Please help my aunt to save my nephew. Now my uncle can only listen to my aunt's words.
This incident was all caused by Qiang'er being young and being deceived by outsiders.
My father had already scolded him severely yesterday, saying that he was a 'dog with no place to eat'. If I hadn't stopped him and persuaded him, I would have beaten him at all costs.
Later, my father said that the kid's family had done something bad, and as the patriarch, he couldn't make it difficult for Uncle Lian to do things in the future, so he took 26,000 taels of silver from our house to make up for the loss. This way everyone will have an explanation.
I also ask my aunt to tell my uncle in private. Since we haven’t lost any money from our official position, I hope that the big things can be reduced to the trivial ones.”

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was sullen and silent, Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down and took two steps forward, begging with a salivating face:
"Good aunt, good girl, good aunt, please love my nephew for a while. If this can't be done, my father will definitely not be able to spare me."
Jia Qiang saw that Wang Xifeng just didn't speak, so she followed:
"As long as I can pass this test, my nephews will definitely come to honor my aunt."
Hearing this, Jia Rong hurriedly said:
"That's right, we got good Cordyceps in the shop over there recently. When my nephew got back, he told his father to pick some for his aunt and send them over."
Wang Xifeng gave them both a look and sneered:
"What do I care about you? I have so many dowry things that I have no place to put them.
Come on, come on, you go ahead. I'll talk to your Uncle Lian today and see what he means. Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you the result."
Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other, not knowing whether Wang Xifeng agreed or not. Seeing that she seemed a little impatient, they had to stand up and leave quickly.
.
On the way back, Jia Qiang couldn't help but scratch her head and said:
"If this had happened in the past, Second Aunt Lian would have taken over everything, saying, 'It will be much better if you listen to me than to your uncle.' Why has your temper changed now?"
Jia Rong pouted:
"You didn't believe me when I told you yesterday. Have you learned a lot today?"
Jia Qiang shrank her neck:
"I just think that if you can completely subdue the female overlord without using a knife or a gun, this Uncle Lian is a bit scary."
.
After finishing the Lai family, cleaning up the servants in the mansion, rearranging the housekeepers and servants in the mansion, doing calculations, and disposing of the corrupt money and assets collected, there was a lot of work in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and the Provincial Family House was busy working day and night.
The matter made Jia Lian very busy.
Although he had been thinking about taking the time to go to Xiaohuazhi Lane to ask what the relationship between Yanhong and Ahe was, he never got around to it.
I originally wanted to leave the yamen earlier today to go to the "outside house", but unexpectedly someone came from the palace to spread the news, saying that this year's Double Ninth Festival, both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor felt that the Long Live Mountain in the forbidden area was not high enough, and they wanted to go to Xiangshan in the western suburbs.
Climb high.
At this time, the Shuntian Prefecture had no choice but to quickly call Wanping County Magistrate, and together with the Yulin Guards, they discussed how to arrange the street cleaning and greetings along the way, and they only dispersed when it was time to turn on the lanterns.
The hungry Jia Lian hurried home. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Xifeng had already asked someone to set out the meal, and personally served Jia Lian to wash his hands, pour wine and pick up vegetables. He was so attentive that Ping'er blushed just looking at it.
Finally, seeing that Jia Lian had almost eaten, Wang Xifeng said:
"Second Master, now that all the little actors in our house have been bought back, does the Lixiang Courtyard where the Xue family lives have to be vacated?"
