嚯——(The long sound here lasts for more than three seconds)
Jia Zheng was really willing to go out of his way to save Aunt Zhao.
.
At that time, Jia Lian did not show off, shouted or made trouble, did not fight or jump, but he took out paper figures and ghosts directly from Baoyu and Wang Xifeng's bed, and said that he would lead people out of the house to catch thieves, but there would be a lot of trouble.
Aunt Zhao, the cowardly and stupid idiot, was scared to death.
Aunt Zhao immediately ran back to her room in a panic, locked the door and shivered for a long time, and finally waited until Jia Zheng came back.
When Aunt Zhao, who was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, she finally gave an overview. Of course, Jia Zheng understood how much trouble his precious Aunt Zhao had gotten into this time.
No one can leave such a little wife in any house, so if she can be kicked out without being beaten, scolded or sold out, she is already extremely merciful.
But Jia Zheng, who has always been an "obedient good-for-nothing man", is determined this time:
Even if you have to sacrifice your face, you still have to save Ah Zhao.
.
It is said that "there is gold at the knees of a man", and he will kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, but Jia Zheng really made a "gudong" sound and knelt down for you Jia Lian.
Not only that, I'm afraid that Jia Lian still won't agree to it. Jia Zheng directly said, "As long as I can do it, you can make whatever conditions you want." He tried to maximize his sincerity all at once and made a desperate move. It all depends on whether Jia Lian can accept this sincerity.
.
Of course Jia Lian has to take it.
Otherwise, why would he come back to Rongguo Mansion with this pile of Ma Daopo's confession?
Don’t you just want to talk to Jia Zheng, the man behind Aunt Zhao, about your future life?
Since Jia Zheng was so proactive and generous, of course Jia Lian had to accept the order.
If you don’t want it for free, who doesn’t want it for free?
Holding Aunt Zhao's shortcomings in your hands means pinching Jia Zheng's weak points, which will be of great use in the future.
.
"Oh, if my second uncle had told me earlier and this matter hadn't escalated outside, it would have been easier to handle.
Now that the thief woman has been brought into the government, and she has been involved in a lot of scandalous things within the house, but now that the second uncle has spoken, the nephew can't refuse no matter how difficult it is, right?
Please allow my nephew to think about it tomorrow and see if there is any way to cover up the past and try not to involve Aunt Zhao."
Jia Lian frowned, looking like "this matter is difficult to handle."
After all, Jia Zheng had been in the officialdom for most of his life. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to protect Aunt Zhao. A sudden flash of light suddenly appeared in Yu Mu's mind. He immediately saw that this meant "there is drama in this matter" and hurriedly said
:
"If you need to take care of it, I still have some money here, just ask."
.
Wow——(the long sound here lasts for more than five seconds)
Jia Lian really admires Jia Zheng!
If it's for Aunt Zhao, how can I know that this old-fashioned old scholar really knows and knows everything!
When the eunuch Touqianer scolded Xiao Diao when he came to Jia's house to scold him on the street, he was about to be scolded by the eunuch. Everyone knows that at this time, he had to give the eunuch money and gag him.
Jia Zheng was fine. His face sank, his back straightened, and he scolded Jia Lian for reminding him to give him money:
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God. I don't know what the Holy One is going to say, so you have to bribe the angels, you villain!"
The result... of course was that Jia Zheng knelt upright in front of the "swearing saint" scolding Xiao Diao in the palace, and was scolded by this notoriously vicious eunuch for an hour, and finally Jia Zheng himself
I was so angry and frightened that I almost had a stroke and almost belched my farts.
At this time, Jia Zheng, who pretended to be like Hai Rui every day, understood the ways of the world and was good at giving gifts and bribes. He actually took the initiative to tell Jia Lian that he would use his own money to "manage" it.
Moreover, who did Jia Zheng’s young wife, Aunt Zhao, ask Ma Daopo to use evil methods to harm?
That is Baoyu, Jia Zheng’s only surviving legitimate son!
This prude is so damned!
.
"Okay, then uncle, let me take five hundred taels first. If it's not enough, I'll think of a way."
Jia Lian decided to run against Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng was really shocked:
"Ah? Five hundred taels! How can I have so much money!"
Jia Lian woke up and Jia Zheng grabbed Jia Lian's hand, which instantly became cold.
Good guy, Mr. Zheng’s courage and mental endurance are so poor.
Jia Zheng was very serious, and he suddenly broke out in sweat:
"I...I have only had more than one hundred and sixty taels of silver in these years...not enough for five hundred taels.
Look, see if you can... or..."
Based on Jia Lian's knowledge of this family, none of the men of the Jia family living in Rongguo Mansion, including Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan, and even his predecessor Jia Lian, had a private house.
Some can save more than two hundred taels of money. Some don't even have enough money to save ten taels of silver, such as Jia Cong and Jia Lan.
This is the tragedy of the men in Rongguofu.
People outside look at the flowers and riches, but in fact, there is no freedom behind the scenes.
Jia Lian decided to deliberately rectify Jia Zheng, and sighed:
"One hundred and sixty taels is indeed a little less.
Since my second uncle doesn't have much money, I'll take out one hundred and sixty taels first, and write me a debt deed for the rest. I'll find a way to get the money."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he immediately agreed.
.
Not long after, Jia Zheng went to the study outside Mengpo Zhai in person, took out a bag of broken silver and gave it back to Jia Lian. He also wrote a deed of arrears of three hundred and forty taels of silver, took fingerprints, dried it and handed it to Jia Lian.
To Jia Lian.
Jia Lian carefully folded the deed and put it away, thinking: Hum, you are so serious, we have debts to pay, we can't give you an advantage.
He turned around and asked Aunt Zhao again:
"There is one more thing I want to ask my aunt, and I hope you can tell me the truth."
Aunt Zhao was so frightened that she stood close to the door, looking at Jia Lian as if she were a ghost. When Jia Lian asked her, the corner of her mouth twitched and she said slowly:
"I...I don't know anything."
Jia Zheng slapped the table and stamped his feet towards Aunt Zhao:
"Oh! Stop being stubborn! He is the one who can protect you now!"
When Aunt Zhao saw that Jia Zheng was anxious, she quickly waved her hands:
"I...I know what to say."
Jia Lian seemed to ask casually:
"Who asked my aunt to put the paper figures into the pillows of Baoyu and Sister Feng?"
.
Jia Lian returned to his room and heard that Sister Feng had eaten and slept again. He didn't want to disturb her, so he asked Ping'er to move all his bedding to the study to sleep overnight.
Jia Lian changed his clothes and washed his face in the study. Over there, Ping'er and the little girl had already laid out the bedding. Jia Lian asked everyone else to leave, leaving Ping'er alone.
Ping'er immediately became alert, but pretended nothing happened on his face, and said to Jia Lian with a smile:
"Second Master has been out for half a day, and I'm already tired after all. Since I've had dinner outside, I might as well go to bed early.
I still have to go over and take care of grandma. She ate a lot after she woke up, so she might be thirsty and need water."
As he spoke, he quietly slipped towards the door.
Jia Lian sat down on the bamboo couch and looked at Ping'er with a wicked smile:
"It's so easy for her not to keep an eye on you today, why are you guarding me like a thief?"
Ping'er lowered his head and smiled:
"How can I guard against thieves? How can I guard against thieves?
It’s just that the second mistress is in danger of dying today. If I serve the second master at this time, it will seem that both the second master and I have no conscience.”
Jia Lian laughed:
"Good girl! It's a shame that Sister Feng loves you so much!
Your affection for her is better than that of many sisters, and I am impressed by you."
After hearing what Jia Lian said, Ping'er felt relieved, pursed his lips and said with a smile:
"I am a member of Second Master's house, so I can't escape anyway."
Jia Lian stretched out and pointed at his neck:
"Come and rub it for me. I have something serious to talk to you about."
