Jia Lian didn't want to tell the truth, so he smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Bring me two hundred taels of silver and I will tell you."
Wang Xifeng's face suddenly sank:
"I won't listen anymore, save two hundred taels."
Jia Lian already knew Sister Feng's temper and did not advise her to coax her. He just picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetables and ate it, and then asked:
"I heard that those people in Dongfu have always neglected to regulate themselves, and they are all too weird?"
After hearing this, Sister Feng immediately started chatting:
"Isn't that what you said?
Among the housekeepers and grandmothers, which one is easy to pester? If they make mistakes, they will joke and make fun of them. If they make mistakes, they will blame Sang and Huai.
"Fire", "Stand on the dry bank", "Push over the oil bottle without holding it up", are all Quan Guazi's martial arts.
Seeing that I am young and not superior to others, everyone ignores me.
They flatter me in front of me, but behind my back, they say I am a 'famous tough guy with a sad face and a hard heart'.
In the second half of today, Laiwang's daughter-in-law took the right card and went to get the paper for submitting the Wenjing list. The amount was clearly stated on the ticket, but she didn't even look at the paper. She only asked Laiwang's daughter-in-law how much she wanted.
What is even more annoying is the daughter-in-law of the general manager of Zhongdu Laisheng. I asked her to check the family roster, but she actually went to look for it for two or three hours before it was delivered.
I just ordered a small number of single volumes today. Early tomorrow morning, I will go and tell all my family members and daughters-in-law, and I will order them in person to establish a prestige for them and let them fully understand how powerful I am."
After Jia Lian heard what she said, he picked up a piece of ham and put it on Sister Feng's plate, and said with a smile:
"Thank you ma'am!
As expected, he is as shrewd and capable as a man, and the recommendation from Brother Zhen and I is not in vain.
Come, come, I'll lend you flowers to offer to Buddha, and please have a meal. Don't make me hungry."
Although Wang Xifeng's words just now were complaining, she was actually proud in her heart. Now when she heard what Jia Lian said, she felt even more satisfied and smiled:
"How dare you, how dare you bear more.
I am able to get this job because the moon follows the sun—it’s because of the Second Master’s light. In the future, I will definitely need the Second Master’s support and blessings.”
.
He and his wife are in harmony, so naturally the spring night is short.
What was even more miserable was Jia Lian’s sleep.
The fuss last night lasted until midnight, but before dawn, Wang Xifeng had already gotten up to wash herself.
Jia Lian couldn't sleep well either. He just sat on the bed with a sad face and hugged the quilt:
"What time is it? Why are you up now? You went to bed late last night, why can't you sleep a little longer today?"
Wang Xifeng was being combed by Ping'er, and while examining her makeup, she said:
"Click mao, click mao, what else do you order after mao?
I set rules for them in Dongfu on the first day, so of course I couldn’t delay.
If I have no rules myself, how can I still control others?"
The sharp red phoenix eyes immediately became more majestic. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the dressing box and told Ping'er:
“It’s better to have a silver hairpin with five phoenixes and sun-facing tassels in the middle, and a pearl-partial phoenix hairpin on both sides to hold it down.”
Jia Lian had no choice but to turn over and lie down. Just as he was about to continue sleeping, he heard a boy coming to report outside the door:
"There are more than a dozen people sent by Uncle Xie outside, saying that they would like to invite the Second Master to go to the General Training Ground to experience it for themselves."
Jia Lian suddenly felt a chill in his crotch - no, it was a chill all over his body.
But it was Sister Feng who came over and ripped off the quilt from Jia Lian:
"Get up quickly and go to that teaching place.
I came here early yesterday morning, and I came again today. It seems that I will not give up until I achieve my goal.
Could it be that the second master owes Xie Qianli money?"
.
Jia Lian left the house sleepily, and was surrounded by a dozen energetic soldiers as he walked all the way to the general's training ground.
"You were all drunk last night, why are you so energetic today?"
Jia Lian was very puzzled: He deliberately tried to win over these Ziqiu Ba last night, just so that they wouldn't be able to get up in the morning so they wouldn't bother him. But now it seems that it doesn't work at all.
Several people have already rushed to answer:
"Oh! The wine last night was really the best of the best. After drinking so much, not only did I not have a headache when I woke up in the morning, but I also felt more energetic.
It’s truly a magical wine, worthy of the title of ‘Wine and Sword Fairy’!”
Jia Lian was about to complain about why he wasn't full of energy despite drinking "Jiu Jian Xian" a lot, when he suddenly thought of last night and immediately fell silent.
.
Fortunately, Xie Qianli was not a sadist. Seeing that Jia Lian was listless, with a tired look on his face, and squinting eyes, he knew that he was not used to getting up early, so he asked him to only practice horse stance and stretch his muscles for the past three days, which was considered to be a threesome for Jia Lian.
The "buffer period" of the day.
Jia Lian managed to stay up until after breakfast, then said goodbye to Xie Qianli and went to the Yamen to do some work. After resting for a while, he went to Ningguo Mansion again.
As soon as Jia Zhen heard that Jia Lian was coming, she kept saying "please".
When Jia Lian heard that the Qin family had accepted the theory that "Ke Qing went to Tianxiang Tower to burn incense and was accidentally burned to death, the maid Ruizhu escaped at night and disappeared without a trace because she was afraid of being held responsible for rolling over the lamp." and did not plan to report it to the official.
, and then I felt completely relieved.
Jia Lian thought: This is too cheap for an old pervert like you.
Then he frowned again and said:
"It's just that I promised the Qin family a thousand taels of silver, and I didn't discuss it with Brother Zhen first, so I made my own decision."
When Jia Zhen heard this, she waved her hands repeatedly:
"As long as the relatives are in harmony, what does this money mean?
I cherish the old and the poor the most, so I treat it as giving to relatives, which is also a good deed.
My brothers are also working hard, how can I make it difficult for my brothers to do things for me? Just ask them to come over with banknotes."
Jia Lian listened to what he said and thought to himself that Jia Zhen should not be underestimated.
Listen to Jia Zhen say again:
"I heard that my eldest sister came here at 2:00 a.m. this morning to light up her ham. It was indeed very hard.
If we come here every day from now on, it will be even more difficult. Why don't I rush to clean up a courtyard here so that my eldest sister can live in peace for the past few days."
Jia Lian thought:
If you, an old pervert, get tired of living, go and provoke Wang Xifeng.
However, although Ah Feng has a domineering temper, he is a clean person after all. He doesn't have a reputation of being dirty because of his involvement in Dongfu, so why bother?
Then he refused directly for her:
"I can't live without her there, but it's better to come here every day."
Jia Zhen had no choice but to give up and held Jia Lian's hand and chatted for a while.
Jia Lian was about to say goodbye when Jia Zhen got to the point again:
"Have pity on my wife, she is the most virtuous, ten times better than my son!
Now that I am about to die, I must do my best to send this gift.
However, Jia Rong was just a school superintendent. The list of spiritual banners did not look good when written, and there were not many deacons. The funeral must not be grand enough. From this point of view, it is necessary to donate his career as soon as possible.
My face has been hurt these past few days and I cannot visit. I still need my brother to do some work. I beg the head of the Daming Palace, Xiangdaiquan, to clear things up.
But brothers, please remember to have a civil service, not a military position."
