Jia Zheng sent Jia Ke away and looked at the evidence carefully. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became. These slaves were so lawless. No wonder the income of the Jia family was getting less and less during this period. At first, he thought it was a natural disaster.
Only now do we know the reason. If the master gets a full point, they get half a point. If it is not rectified, the Jia family will definitely fall into decline in the long run. This matter must be punished severely. Because Aunt Lai is involved, Jia Mu still has the final say in some matters.
Taking these evidences, Jia Zheng went to the back house to look for Jia Mu. Several girls in red and green were sitting on the steps in Jia Mu's yard. When he saw Jia Zheng, he quickly opened the curtain and said to the inside: "Second Master, come here."
Already."
Jia Zheng entered the house and saw Jia Mu playing leaf cards with some old ladies, including Aunt Lai. Seeing this, Jia Zheng had to stand aside and watch.
Seeing Jia Zheng coming, Jia's mother knew that there was something to discuss, so she said to everyone, "Let's stop here today." Then she gave them all the remaining money.
So all the old nuns withdrew, except Aunt Lai who was still waiting beside Jia Mu. Jia Zheng glanced at Aunt Lai and said to her: "If we, mother and son, have anything to say, you go out first."
Aunt Lai knew that what she said might have something to do with her. Although she really wanted to know, she still withdrew.
Jia's mother asked Jia Zheng, "Aunt Lai is my maid who has been with me for many years. Apart from that, is there anything in our family that we cannot let her hear?"
Jia Zheng said to Jia Mu: "It's her business. That's why I can't let her listen."
Jia Mu said: "What can happen to her?"
So Jia Zheng said what Jia Ke said to Jia Mu again.
Jia's mother has been in the Jia family for decades and has never experienced anything. As soon as she heard Jia Zheng's words, she knew what was going on. This was a slave using the name of the master to buy land and defraud the tenant farmers. It had happened several times before.
, she was forced to rectify it. She didn’t expect this to happen to Aunt Lai. Mother Jia didn’t believe that Aunt Lai didn’t know about it, so she darkened her face.
Jia Zheng angrily said to Jia Mu: "This matter must be rectified severely. Apart from this matter, there are countless other dirty things below, otherwise our house will be hollowed out by these slaves in the long run."
Jia's mother said: "We need to straighten things out recently, but we can't go too far. After all, we are a charitable family and we respect the elderly the most."
Jia Zheng said: "I wonder what mother thinks?"
Jia's mother said: "It's okay for the Lai family to be greedy in other villages. They shouldn't do this in Jia Ke's village. I gave the village to Jia Ke, and they are doing things behind my back."
You must teach them a lesson, don't worry about this matter, I will find a way." After pondering for a long time, he said regretfully: "It seems that Lai Da can't use it."
Jia Zheng said: "I think this matter should be handled in a big way. Brother Ke should be given an explanation and we should not let him have any grudges with our Jia family."
Jia Mu said: "You go down, I know. I'll call brother Ke in by the way. I have something to ask him to do. If I don't bother the two masters, let him do it."
Not long after, Jia Ke came in and kowtowed to Jia Mu. Jia Mu asked him to get up. Jia Mu said to him: "I already know what you said. I have been a housekeeper for decades. It turns out that this kind of thing happens too."
Yes, but after being corrected by me many times, I thought they would restrain themselves, but I didn’t expect that they would be deceived by the most trustworthy person in the end.”
Jia Ke comforted Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, you are just doing charity for others. They just see your charity and will not punish them too much, so they deceive you even more."
Jia Mu said to him: "My dear grandson, you still understand me, but our charity cannot be bullied by others. I have called you here today because I have a few things for you to do."
Jia Ke said: "If you have anything to do, old lady, just ask me."
Jia Mu said, "Have you brought all your soldiers back?"
"Go back to the old lady and bring everything back."
Jia Mu said, "Now that we have brought everything back, it will be easy to handle. Tonight, you can take the personal troops and ask your father for a few boys who are familiar with the road to raid the Lai family."
Jia Ke hesitated and asked Jia Mu: "What about Aunt Lai?"
Jia's mother said: "She? Bring her to me. I want to ask her personally whether the Jia family has treated her wrong. She wants to make money like this crazily."
After Jia Ke obeyed the order, he saw that Jia's mother had nothing to say and left.
Seeing Jia Ke leave the room, Mother Jia looked at the ceiling and thought about things, thinking about Grandma Lai's loyalty to her over the past few decades, thinking about the hardships the master and servant had gone through over the years, and thinking about the two of them when they were young.
Hiding in a quilt and crying, she couldn't help but shed tears. It was because of this that Jia Mu turned a blind eye to Lai Da's arrogance and greed. If she was greedy for others, that would be fine, but
He never expected that Lai Da would dare to put his hand on Jia Ke.
Now Jia Ke is the hope for the future of the Jia family, so there can be no mistakes. But it’s okay, let’s bury all the secrets of these decades today. This will be a good thing for yourself and the Jia family. You can also let the rest go.
The slaves have been honest for a while.
Besides, Jia Ke came out of Jia Mu’s yard and first went to Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng’s small study. Jia Zheng was also waiting for Jia Ke. It turned out that when Jia Zheng came out of Jia Mu’s house, he knew that Jia Ke would come to report to him again.
So I never went back to the back house.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke coming in, he asked him to sit across from the desk without him saluting. Then he asked him, "What does the old lady mean?"
Jia Ke replied: "The old lady asked me to borrow some people who are familiar with geography like my father, and said that I would raid Lai's house tonight. I don't know what my father meant."
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "Just do what the old lady wants. But Grandma Lai is a long-standing grandmother in our Jia family. She watched me grow up and took good care of me when I was young.
Now I think about what happened in the past, and I feel quite emotional, how did it get to this point?" After saying that, he remained silent.
Jia Ke knew that Jia Zheng was still very emotional. So Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng had been longing for the past and didn't bother him.
After a while, Jia Zheng seemed to wake up, and then he said to Jia Ke: "I have nothing else to say. The only thing is that we must treat Grandma Lai with courtesy. She has done meritorious service to us."
Hearing something in Jia Zheng's words, Jia Ke couldn't help but be startled. What does it mean to be a meritorious service to us? Shouldn't it be a meritorious service to the Jia family? It seems that the Jia family has many secrets that he doesn't know, but this is different from who he is now.
It doesn't matter.
Jia Ke quickly expressed his position and said: "Mama Lai is from my grandmother's generation. Even if Lai Da is wrong, it has nothing to do with Grandma Lai. Besides, the old lady also confessed that she asked me to send Grandma Lai to her. Son
How dare you be rude to her."
Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead."
Jia Ke didn't leave immediately, but stayed there to say goodbye.
When Jia Zheng saw his appearance, he said angrily: "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. What do you mean?"
Jia Ke blushed and said to Jia Zheng: "My father confiscated Li An's house in Wangjiatun. How should I deal with the finances?"
Jia Zheng looked at his useless look and said angrily: "Let's find a place outside the house to store it first and let two people guard it. After the Lai family's affairs are finished, you can move to your aunt's place and ask her to give it to you."
You should keep it first so that you don’t spend it indiscriminately."
When Jia Ke heard what Jia Zheng said, he meant that he was rewarding himself with all this. He happily said to Jia Zheng: "What my father said is that my son is confused, so let's do something about it."
Seeing Jia Ke go out happily, Jia Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying that he was gifted, but after all he was still a child and had never seen much of the world.
Little did they know that Jia Ke was a poor man in his previous life. He had never seen so much money. When he came here, he was like a bank escort. No matter how much money he had, it was not his own. But now that Jia Zheng has spoken, all the money is his.
