Jia Ke came out of Jia Zheng's small study room and went to the front yard. He found Lin Zhixiao, Liu Yu and others. Xianfeng told Lin Zhixiao: "First find me a separate room, put our things in it, and then
Everyone prepares dinner. I have something to say after dinner."
Lin Zhixiao received Jia Ke's instructions and immediately found an empty room nearby.
Jia Ke ordered Liu Yu to ask the soldiers to put the belongings in the car into the room, leaving two people to guard it.
After Lin Zhixiao put his belongings in the room, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.
Jia Ke was having dinner with everyone, not mentioning it, but was talking about Grandma Lai returning home. Grandma Lai's home is also a large house with a courtyard. There is also a small garden in the backyard, which is also very exquisitely decorated. There are also several
Ten servants were waiting on him, making him look like an official.
Aunt Lai entered the bedroom in the backyard, lay on the low couch, looked at the ceiling and thought about something. She was thinking about anything else about the Jia family that she couldn't know? Jia Zheng insisted on kicking her out. It must involve the Lai family.
It's probably not a good thing, maybe something happened to either Lai Da or Lai Er.
Aunt Lai called a little maid in and asked, "Is your uncle Lai back?"
The little maid replied: "I don't know now, but according to normal times, it should be a while."
Aunt Lai said: "You go out and keep an eye on me. When your uncle Lai comes back, tell him to come see me immediately."
The little maid agreed and went out to watch.
After a while, Lai Da came back around dinner time. Hearing the little maid saying that Grandma Lai wanted to see him, she immediately went to Grandma Lai's room.
When I entered the door, I saw Grandma Lai lying on the low couch, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lai Da hurriedly stepped forward to greet his mother. Now that Lai Da was back, Grandma Lai asked calmly: "What other way have you found to make money recently?"
Lai Da hurriedly replied to his mother and said: "There is a money source, but I just make some small money so I didn't tell my mother."
Aunt Lai said: "Now I want to hear you tell me what the Tao is."
Lai Da said to his mother: "It's just because the old lady gave Wangjiatun to the uncle. The uncle is still young and doesn't know how to manage it. I don't care about these trivial matters. I just reported a drought in the same way as in previous years and made a small profit of two thousand."
Two more silver."
Aunt Lai was furious after hearing this. She thought that Jia Zheng must have reported this matter to the old lady in her room just now. No wonder Jia Zheng kicked him out of the room. He didn't expect Lai Da to be so bold. The old lady had just
He dared to do tricks after being given the land. What would the old lady think when she found out? She felt a chill in her heart when she thought of the old lady's previous methods.
Aunt Lai shouted at Lai Dada: "Kneel down, you beast. Who gave you the courage to do something in front of the old lady?"
Lai Da said aggrievedly: "Isn't it always like this before? If you hide it, it will be fine. Which master has time to check this."
Aunt Lai said angrily: "Didn't you hear me when I told you to kneel down? Or did I tell you that your wings have grown hard? You didn't even listen to my words."
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Lai Da quickly knelt on the ground.
Grandma Lai said in a ruthless voice: "These are all shameful things. I have never seen you do it so boldly. I have already made it clear to the old lady just now. Let me see how you end it."
Lai was shocked and said: "What should I do? Mother, please find a way for your son."
Aunt Lai looked at him and said, "Aren't you very capable? Are you now cowardly? Doing things by yourself and not knowing how to finish it yourself?"
Lai Da had no idea, so he could only kneel on the ground and cry and beg to Aunt Lai.
Aunt Lai looked at the pitiful look of Lai Da who was kneeling on the ground, and said helplessly: "Get up, what does it look like to kneel on the ground and cry? This time I will teach you a lesson, let you know what you can do.
Can not do."
Lai Da stood up and praised Aunt Lai's words. Lai Da knew that in this family, Aunt Lai was the backbone. Without Aunt Lai, the Lai family would not be what it is today.
Aunt Lai said: "Take out the money that you embezzled from the Wang family, and on the other hand, take out five thousand taels of silver from home, and join me tomorrow to apologize to the old lady. For my sake, I don't think the old lady will come."
It would be too demanding."
Lai Da said to Aunt Lai: "It's okay to give out a few thousand taels of silver, but there are still more than 1,300 acres of land in Wangjiatun. Isn't this a big deal?"
Aunt Lai looked at Lai Da as if she were a fool. She had never thought that her son was so stupid. Now he is almost dead and still wants more than 1,300 acres of land.
Aunt Lai said helplessly to Lai Da: "If you want land, go and tell the old lady yourself that I can't help it. And the land is all recorded in the name of the government. In what name do you want it?"
If you can't hide it, you still dare to ask for it?"
Lai Da said: "It's my son's fault because he was fooled by lard. My son went to the warehouse to collect the money."
Aunt Lai said: "Don't be in a hurry. Let me tell you first. When I see the old lady tomorrow, I will cry bitterly and beg for mercy. Please forgive you. Now that the old lady is old, she could not be more kind-hearted. When I see you
Since I cried so pitifully, I just let it go."
Lai Dalian said yes and left.
Aunt Lai thinks that this son is still irritable at such an old age, but he is still capable of doing things. Thinking about the eldest man in the house, Aunt Lai feels that her son is several times better than him.
Aunt Lai lay on the low couch and thought for a while. Since there were no flaws, she must let the servants serve food.
Besides, after Jia Ke and everyone had finished dinner, Jia Zheng had sent over several boys who were familiar with the route.
Jia Ke called Liu Yu to his side and whispered: "Gather all the members of the personal army together. We have something to do soon."
After a while, the soldiers were gathered together, and Jia Ke said to Liu Hong: "Don't worry about the matter for a while. Just stay at home with two people to guard the silver in the warehouse."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jia Ke ordered the boy who was familiar with the route: "Take us to Grandma Lai's house and show only me the front door and the back door."
The boys received Jia Zheng's order. Although they didn't know what the specific matter was, they quickly agreed.
So a few boys led the way, and Jia Ke followed closely behind with Lin Zhixiao, Liu Yu and the personal troops. Everyone walked out of the side door and walked on Ningrong Street. Soon they arrived in front of a large house. Look at the size of the house.
, not much smaller than Jia She's mansion.
Jia Ke ordered people to block the back of the front door, and then asked Lin Zhixiao to come forward and call the door.
Lin Zhixiao slapped the door knocker hard, and heard someone inside say: "What time is it? Come back tomorrow if you have anything to report."
Lin Zhixiao said loudly: "You ignorant slave, please open the door quickly. The master is here and ask Lai Da to come out to greet you."
When the people inside heard that Jia Ke was coming, they sent someone in to report and opened the door.
Jia Ke walked in and went straight to the central hall without saying a word. As he walked, he looked around and saw that the carved beams and paintings were indeed very exquisite. Entering the hall, the tables and chairs on this side were all made of mahogany, with several sides of red paint.
, looks shiny and shiny. In the center of the courtyard hangs a picture of pine and crane prolonging life. It seems to be a masterpiece and is expensive. This is not a slave's home. Apart from Jia Ke's mother's room, Jia Ke has seen such luxury.
The entire Jia Mansion is not as exquisite as this hall.
Jia Ke sat directly on the big mahogany chair in the center of the hall, Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu stood on both sides to wait on him, and the soldiers lined up neatly in the yard. The servants of the Lai family looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.
Jia Ke looked outside expressionlessly, thinking that he would raid this dark house today, and use the stolen money to extend the lives of the Jia family for a few more years, and also to remove a cancer in the Jia family.
