When Grandma Lai saw that Jia Mu was silent, you would think that he was talking about Jia Mu's weakness, and then she smiled and said: "Miss, seeing that Rongguo Mansion can't hold on for many years, I also have a family, and I also want to do it for you."
Make plans for your own children and grandchildren. How can you live in the future without getting some money?" Then he laughed, looked at Jia and said: "Miss, Rongguo Mansion is no longer the Rongguo Mansion before, but we still have to maintain the airs of Rongguo Mansion.
In the end, you're not much better than me. I'm afraid I just took the first step."
Jia Mu looked at her and said, "Have you finished talking? It's time to get on your way after talking." Then looking at her proud look, she felt a little annoyed and said to her with a smile: "Do you really think you know everything about my Rongguo Mansion?"
Secret? You are overestimating your capabilities. How can you be regarded as a founding nobleman without some back-ups? Our Jia family will be rich and powerful in the future. How can you, a servant, know about it? "
Aunt Lai had already given up her life and said to Jia's mother: "Miss, don't hold on. No one who is not blind can't see the situation in Jia's house now. I'm leaving too, tell me this.
What’s the point of coaxing?”
Jia's mother said to her: "You are right. It's already this time. What's the point of coaxing you?"
At this moment, Aunt Lai suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen. She covered her stomach with one hand and looked at Jia Mu with a calm face, as if she wanted to see something from her face.
Mother Jia looked at Aunt Lai, her face seemed calm, but veins were popping up on her forehead, and her hand pressing on her stomach was trembling.
Seeing this, Mother Jia could no longer hold back the sourness in her heart, and two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes involuntarily.
Mother Jia couldn't bear to let her leave in such a confused way, and asked her with tears in her eyes: "Yulan (Mama Lai's name when she was young), do you believe there are gods in the world?"
Grandma Lai endured the pain, shook her head and said, "I don't believe there are these demons and evil spirits in the world. If there were, I would have killed so many people, and the evil spirits would have come to me a long time ago." After saying that, she looked up.
Looking at Jia Mu, she saw Jia Mu looking at her with a serious face. She didn't need to tremble in her heart. She looked at Jia Mu with disbelief and said, "Could this really exist in the world?"
Jia's mother said to her seriously: "You don't know, it doesn't necessarily exist in the world. There are some things that outsiders don't know if they don't reach a certain level of prince. Do you think the old prince asked Taoist Zhang to become a monk for him as a substitute?"
What do you mean, is it really just to eliminate his sins and accumulate virtue and do good deeds? You don’t think so like those foolish men, do you?”
Aunt Lai asked in disbelief: "Isn't it?"
Jia Mu said to her contemptuously: "After all, you are still a slave. No matter how rich and noble you are, there are some things that you cannot know. For the sake of our relationship as master and servant, I will tell you at the end."
Aunt Lai couldn't hold on much longer. She gritted her teeth and held on to hear the secret.
Jia Mu said slowly: "I don't know if there are really immortals in this world, but there are some who practice immortality and visit Taoism. That Taoist priest Zhang is such a person, and his Taoism is not low."
Aunt Lai was speechless at this time. She pressed her belly with one hand and supported her body with the other, and looked at Jia Mu with her eyes wide open, wanting to remember everything in her mind.
Jia Mu stared at the roof and said to her: "Do you remember that Taoist Zhang came to our house a few months ago?" Without waiting for her answer, she continued: "He came to our house to pray for someone, and this person is
Brother Ke, whom you look down upon. Do you know what he saw?"
Aunt Lai had only one breath left at this time, but she still held on to listen to the last words.
Jia Mu then said: "Brother Ke, your Qi is five-color, shaped like a canopy, and is blessed by two dragon veins in your body. This is the Qi of the Son of Heaven."
Grandma Lai is on her last breath.
Mother Jia looked at Nanny Lai who was about to die, with tears in her eyes, but with a bright smile on her face. She choked with sobs and said to her: "Yu Lan, our family is about to have an emperor. If Yu Lan is in this house, you will
I can cover it for you even if the world turns upside down, but you can't offend Brother Ke. If you offend him, I have to punish you, because I can't let him be separated from the family."
Aunt Lai's eyes had completely fallen into darkness, but she could still hear Jia Mu's words. She now fully understood why Jia Mu treated her like this. She just touched the eldest son of the concubine a little, and Jia Mu
Their family has fallen into the abyss. Now she fully understands why Jia's mother did not worry about her two sons and ruined the Jia family, because now she only needs to wait quietly for Jia Ke to become emperor. Their family will have endless splendor and wealth. But in
There can't be any mistakes before this, and Jia Ke can't be dissatisfied with the Jia family at all.
At this time, Jia Mu said her last words to her: "Yulan, you are too impatient and your vision is too low. Otherwise, when brother Ke succeeds, your family will not lose the reward of being a prince."
Aunt Lai has completely lost her breath now, but her spirit is still performing its final activities. She finally thought that if their family were honest, maybe she would be like Jia's mother and become an old feudal lord who enjoyed endless wealth.
After that she was silent again.
Seeing that she was lifeless, Jia Mu suddenly threw herself on Aunt Lai and burst into tears. While crying, she scolded: "You stupid woman with no eyesight, why are your eyelids so shallow? You have always been smart for so many years. You
You can’t trust me even once.”
Jia Mu cried for a while, then stood up to calm down her mood, smoothed her clothes, wiped away her tears, and became the steady and kind old lady again.
Jia Mu stood up and walked to the door. She looked back at the dead Aunt Lai, as if saying goodbye to her former self, and then walked out of the door resolutely. In fact, Jia Mu still had doubts about Taoist Zhang's words, but she still
She must go on firmly, because this is the last hope of the Jia family. Without this hope, she can only die in despair in a dream.
Jia's mother returned to the main hall and asked her confidants to inform Jia Zheng that Aunt Lai had committed suicide out of fear and asked him to dispose of the body.
When Jia Zheng heard what Jia Mu sent someone to say, he took people overnight to bury Aunt Lai in the grave.
What happened next was that Lai Da's family was sold to a black coal mine, and the other maids and servants of his family were also sold. Then there was no sound about the matter. Only the old servants occasionally chatted after they were drunk.
Recalling the glory of the Lai family back then, I also lamented how terrible his greed was.
This matter is just for others. When Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion found out, he himself would be troubled even if nothing happened. What's more, such a big thing happened. I heard that Lai Da's house was raided by Xi Mansion.
, copied hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and was ready to make a move.
And Lai Er has been living like a year these past few days, hesitating all day long. Every day you show your courtesy in front of Jia Zhen, and you keep offering good things, but you still can't escape the bad luck.
On a dark and windy night, Jia Zhen led people to surround Lai Er's home and turned Lai Er's home upside down. They found out more than 100,000 taels of silver, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other items. But Lai Er's house was turned upside down.
The second was beaten to death with sticks by Jia Zhen on the spot. In the end, Jia Zhen pulled these things and returned home with a full load.
At this point, the servants of Ningrong's second house began to be cautious and did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. The atmosphere of the Jia family has definitely improved.
However, Rong Guofu acquired Lai Da's land, and the situation of the shops began to improve. They no longer had to pay for their income as before, and their income and expenditure were barely balanced. And Jia's mother also began to believe that this was a change of luck, because the Jia family's luck had begun to change.
