Jia Cong led Situ Cen to support his sister-in-law's opening of a snack shop, and met the Xu family's wife who was caught in an act of rape. Jia Cong felt a little depressed. According to the news he had found before, the old lady was not confused, and she didn't know who had deceived her. Regardless.
She is the sister-in-law of the Yao family or the young wife of Mr. Xu. This person must be very capable. So many intelligent lesbians don’t come out to vigorously build the Yan Kingdom, and they all nest in the backyard and fight like black-eyed chickens. What a waste.
He was thinking about something, and he knelt on the ground before his eyes. The old woman and the maid also knelt down. Jia Cong waved his hands and said, "Get up. I don't like to see people kneeling."
Everyone shouted "Thank you, Lord" and stood up one after another.
Jia Congnai said to Mrs. Xu: "I don't want to know which family you are from. It's a great day for my wife and sister's shop to open today. You guys should be casual and go back and forth wherever you go, so as not to interfere with other people's business."
Doing business.”
Mrs. Xu's old face turned pale, she said "yes" repeatedly, supported the maid and left. Naturally, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Yao to stay in the shop, so she said hello to the sixth aunt and walked with her. The sixth aunt waved behind her and shouted crisply:
"Sister Yao~~Come back tomorrow~~" The customers all over the store were talking about it.
Jia Cong couldn't stay any longer after his identity was revealed, so he left two servants behind and told them, "Buy two of each kind and take them back to the house so I can try them." He turned to his sister-in-law and said, "Look, there's a lot of excitement. Be careful not to get crowded or stampede."
." The sister-in-law nodded. Jia Cong looked at the white flowers on her head and asked in a low voice, "If it's not convenient for you to answer, you don't have to tell me - what is filial piety?"
Grandma Liu's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head slightly: "It's not about filial piety, it's just wearing a flower. It's pretty."
Jia Cong immediately thought of someone and said with a cold face: "Take it down." The sister-in-law was stunned. Jia Cong said seriously, "Although you are a female household, some rules are eternal. You are not from their family now.
But you wear mourning for their family, and you become a little shorter for no reason. I don't care what you two discuss, it can't be done now. Take it off."
Grandma Liu Gu panicked and hurriedly picked off the white flowers and said softly: "Brother-in-law..."
Jia Cong shook his head: "Remember, although you have married before, you did it openly and honestly. It is not a shameful thing. You support yourself, your status is no worse than anyone else, and you don't have to lower your stature to please anyone." Turned around and left. Six
My aunt's face turned red and white, and she kneaded the white silk flowers in her hands.
After leaving the house, Jia Cong suddenly felt the distress of a middle-aged man and pressed his temples: "It's so sad... all the kids are debts."
Situ Cen smiled and said to the side: "Is your sister-in-law paying tribute to your good friend's family?"
Jia Cong nodded: "And it's not the biological parents of my best friend, but other elders." Nai sighed, "She has a guilty conscience. After all, she is a widow, and the husband's family background is good, and he seems to be a virgin." Situ Cen chuckled.
Jia Cong said helplessly, "Why am I starting to worry about them! I'm not old yet."
Now that the fun was over, the two of them clasped fists and said goodbye at the intersection, and then walked away. Jia Cong led the people along the road for a while, and suddenly reined in the reins: "Let's go find Lan Xiaozi." Then he went straight to Jia Cong.
The Lan family has gone.
Except for inspecting the shop, Jia Lan works at home on weekdays. Every day, the shopkeeper comes over to report accounts and ask questions. When Jia Cong arrived, there were still seven or eight people standing in the room waiting for a reply. Jia Cong coughed. Jia Lan looked up.
He quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Cong!" All the shopkeepers saluted.
Jia Cong waved his hand and looked at Jia Lan for a long time, his face expressionless. Jia Lan gave him a chill down his spine. After a while, Jia Cong said to the shopkeepers: "Everyone, please lend Brother Lang to the king's huizi
, I have something to say to him."
The shopkeepers said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please excuse me, I don't have anything important to do." They filed out.
Jia Lan waited for them to leave and asked quickly: "Uncle Cong, are you okay?"
Jia Cong went straight to him and sat down. He glanced sideways for a while and suddenly asked: "Whose idea was it for the old woman of the Xu family to go to Jiuxiangzhai to catch the rapist?"
Jia Lan was slightly stunned: "How does Uncle Cong know?" Jia Cong remained silent. Jia Lan said honestly, "I asked Aunt Luo for an idea from one of her subordinates."
Jia Cong frowned: "Luo Tainiang's subordinates?"
"Uncle Cong, do you still remember Lady Yingge?"
Jia Cong thought for a moment: "She must have been a concubine in Nan'an Prince's Mansion earlier. Later, when Huo Sheng's mother was released from the palace, Luo Tainiang abducted her."
Jia Lan nodded: "I don't know much about matters in the inner court, and I'm not good at handling them. She has stayed in the palace, so she is more knowledgeable."
"What did she do?"
"It's not a big deal." Jia Lan said, "Ms. Yao gave birth to a son last year and will not leave the Xu family for no reason. Xu Laosan's third roommate also gave birth to a son and is now an aunt. Lady Yingge bribed Xu
The people in the family planned to make the eldest lady of the Xu family jealous of her, and joined forces with the aunt. They also sent them some false news and evidence. A friend of the Yao family is opening a dim sum shop today, and she will go to support it. Those two
Someone mistakenly thought that Mr. Yao had an acquaintance outside and the shop was opened by the acquaintance, so he sent someone to see Mrs. Xu." He paused and said, "I didn't know if it would be useful, but Mrs. Yingge said it must be useful.
"
"Why."
"The Xu family knows that Mrs. Yao knows the owner of Qin's Cocoa Tea. Although she has not explicitly asked her to help the house get supplies to open a shop, everyone in their hearts hopes that she will do this." Jia Lan said leisurely, "I have been holding it back since the old year.
, has been holding it in for more than a year, and both Mrs. Xu and her two sisters-in-law are holding it in so much that they are irritable. The men in their family are all aloof and disdain businessmen, so the woman is holding it in even harder. Nowadays,
Suddenly, we got physical and personal evidence, proving that Mr. Yao helped the adulterer to get cocoa tea and open a shop. If he was provoked by words, even the calm old Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it anymore."
Jia Cong frowned: "Then what? The Xu family makes a fuss at Yao's friend's dim sum shop, so what?"
Jia Lan sighed: "She ignored me at all. If I don't let her leave the house, there is nothing I can do. If something like this happens, how can Qin Keqing, Director Qin, stand by and watch?"
Jia Cong looked at him for another half a day and said: "You used Lady Yingge's plan just to make her feel wronged at home, and then Qin Keqing took action to persuade her to leave?"
Jia Lan hurriedly said: "How can I be wronged! The old woman of the Xu family and her sister-in-law got all false news, and going to the pastry shop to make trouble was just a joke. The owner of the pastry shop is a widow. This matter
As soon as it came out, the old lady of the Xu family naturally knew who was talking nonsense. She would not give those two talkative women some advice when she went back. However, Director Qin would not let it go, and would not persuade her to leave the house. And Xu
Although the old woman hates the tongue-tied woman, because she made a mistake and lost face, she can hardly vent her anger on Yao."
Jia Cong nodded slowly: "I see. If that's the case, you can marry another wife." Jia Lan was stunned. Jia Cong said, "I don't know about others, but I know that Qin Keqing protects the calf. Even if Yao takes off
Director Qin will not agree to her marrying you."
Jialan blurted out: "Why!"
Jia Cong said: "A daughter-in-law has zero resistance in front of her mother-in-law. Since you can watch her mother-in-law get angry at her, you know that she is not that important to you."
Jia Lan said anxiously: "She has raised a son, and she won't come out if I don't do something about it!"
"I know. There are thousands of ways. Even if you copy the method when the Mu family princess left the Zhenguo Mansion?" Jia Lan was stunned. Jia Cong had a headache, "You are so old and your thinking is still so narrow. Who said the backyard?
The matter must be solved by the backyard method? Even pretending to be bandits and robbing it will make it worse. Our family is not short of soldiers and horses, and we are not short of masters."
Jia Lan, as if enlightened, slapped the table and said, "That's right! I didn't expect that!"
Jia Cong lazily said: "It's too late."
Jia Lan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why is it too late? Good uncle, please help my nephew."
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "That Yao family is just your obsession many years ago. You are willing to let her suffer, and you obviously don't feel sorry for her. Lan'er, whenever you have the idea of 'making up for it afterwards', it means that you are not that
I like her. Why bother to show off that I like her and get her in? Do you know why she ignores you?"
Jia Lan had already prepared a lot of words to rebut, and after hearing the last sentence, he quickly asked: "Why?"
"Sister-in-law Liu Er should explain this to you clearly." Jia Cong sighed, "Because Mrs. Yao is already a mother. With your status, most girls in the capital are willing to marry you, but she is not.
Your mother is a widowed mother! Don’t look at what she said about you marrying any woman. That’s just talk. In her heart, no one is worthy of you. Yao has been married before and has a son.
, there is also a grandfather who was released from prison in an unknown year. How can your mother like her? Although according to her upbringing, she will not torture her daughter-in-law and consciously or unconsciously give her daughter-in-law some ideas to suffer.
Don't you realize that you believe it? If Mrs. Yao is serious about making peace with her, she would rather follow the example of her friends and set up a female household than marry you."
Jia Lan thought for a moment and said, "My mother doesn't know how."
Jia Cong shook his head: "Your mother is also a human being. You have been widowed in your youth, and it's hard to endure day and night. You are everything to her. At this time, a woman suddenly jumped out to snatch her son. How could she be willing? What's more, this woman has been married before.
." Jia Lan was about to say something, but Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. Anyway, you are not allowed to rob civilian girls."
Jia Lan said aggrievedly: "If I had tried to force myself, would I have had to wait until this moment?"
Jia Cong stood up: "If Ms. Yao is willing to spend time in the Xu family, that is her freedom. After all, Mr. Xu is the biological father of her child. If you want to reconcile, if you have the ability, go for it. If you don't, then go for it."
Give it up. In my opinion, she is a smart person and will not marry you." As he spoke, he had already taken several steps and approached the door. He did not look back and said, "By then, just give up. Not all first loves
We can get to the end." Just as he was about to take a step forward, he came back again, "By the way, in the future, if you ask for advice from someone else, don't ask Lady Yingge. She might not even be able to get the most basic information.
"
Jia Lan immediately asked: "But what went wrong today?"
"It's not a mistake." Jia Cong said, "Old Mrs. Xu happened to meet me today when she came to make trouble."
"ah?!"
"The owner of the pastry shop is your third aunt's biological sister. That woman doesn't even know this, so why would she have any ideas!" Jia Cong turned around and left, seriously leaving this time.
Jia Lanli thought for a moment behind him, and suddenly realized that he really couldn't mess around in the future. In addition to Qin Keqing, there was also the regent's sister behind Yao. He was stunned for a long time, and for no reason he had a premonition that something big would be difficult to accomplish.
, holding on to the desk and slowly sitting down.
On the other side, the Xu family was also in turmoil. Mrs. Xu ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly, and a large number of people were brought out: in addition to Mrs. Xu, there was also Aunt Duan who had just given birth to the eldest son of the concubine. She was surrounded by many people.
The powerful maid turned out to be promised by Aunt Duan. After moving the Yao family, Aunt Duan would persuade Mr. Xu and his wife to ask her to marry her. The other most trusted lady in charge was Mrs. Xu.
Grandma's promise allowed Uncle Xu to take in her granddaughter. The other mothers-in-law and maids who got involved would benefit from promotions or money.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Xu raised her crutch and pointed at the people kneeling down on the ground and said: "Our Xu family is a home of poetry, literature, and scholars, but you all have such crooked hearts!" The crowd shouted "Unjustly accused." For a long time, the old woman screamed.
Sighing, he said, "Boss, wife, you should shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with your man."
Grandma Xu's eyes blurred and she collapsed to the ground: "Madam, please forgive me..."
"You don't need to take care of the family's accounts. Leave them to the third daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Yao was also kneeling down with her. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Madam, my daughter-in-law is not good at managing the house, and I'm afraid she will let my wife down. It's better to leave it to my second sister-in-law."
Mrs. Xu hummed: "Everyone wants to take care of the accounts, but you don't want to. I have to leave it to you today."
Mrs. Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, my wife really doesn't understand."
"Who doesn't understand from the beginning?" Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said, "That's it. You will receive the account book tonight, and starting tomorrow, everyone in the house will go to you to answer questions." Yao Ming.
He twisted the veil anxiously, but Mrs. Xu couldn't see it.
That night, several daughter-in-laws in charge brought the account book to Yao's courtyard. Yao's son was only a few months old, and it was the most difficult time to leave his mother. Although she had a maid and wet nurse to help, she still had some translations given by Qin Keqing.
There was so much work to do, so busy. My scalp felt numb when I saw the account books. The daughters-in-law came forward with smiles on their faces and bowed and flattered me.
One said: "Third Grandma, I heard that my wife has discussed with the uncle to divorce my eldest grandma."
Another said: "Who in the whole family doesn't know that the eldest grandma has been stumbling upon the third grandma day and night, and we have been fighting against each other for many years."
Another one said: "The eldest grandma is just a woman from a small family, how can she compare to the third grandma..."
Yao said: "Come on, come on, dear grandmothers. I know that everyone is pushing against me, but I don't want to go too far. Grandma, her father's official title is two levels higher than that of my grandfather." The daughters-in-law were dumbfounded. Yao said.
Looking at the account books, he was so worried that he didn’t know what to do. After a long while, he
He said, "You go ahead. I'll take a look at it if I have free time tonight." The daughters-in-law left dejectedly.
As soon as they left, Yao's maid came forward and said, "Grandma! My wife may not have a good idea if she wants you to take care of the accounts."
"Nonsense." Yao glanced at her, "You just want to appease me for a while."
The maid waved her hand: "No! I heard that since that female prime minister came to power, our house has sold a lot of land and has been able to make ends meet. Grandma is so worried that she can't sleep every night."
