The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 7 Visiting Zhang Family
Seeing Jia Mu's behavior, Jia She understood that she couldn't restrain herself, so she wanted to take the route of Huairou.

If this trick worked, but now Jia She has no filial piety towards Jia Mu, no matter how much Jia Mu lowers her stance, Jia She will not soften her heart.

Seeing that he had said so much, Jia Amnesty was still unmoved, and Jia's mother was even more angry.

Jia's mother cursed Jia Amnesty in her heart, "This bastard really has no filial piety at all. He said so himself, but he didn't show it at all." 】

Mother Jia looked embarrassed, but she continued, "What Lai Da did was inappropriate, but Aunt Lai has been with me for so many years, and she has worked hard without any merit. It is not appropriate to be too harsh. I think this housekeeper is It's better to let him continue to work, I will tell him to do his job well and make up for his mistakes."

Of course Jia Amnesty didn't want to, this time he seized the opportunity, of course he wanted to get Lai Da down, the position of butler had to be taken up by one of his own people.

"What did the mother say? Lai Da made such a big mistake. It is already a grace for the son to spare his life. How can he continue to be the housekeeper? He is disrespectful to his father this time."

Jia's mother had listened to Wang's words and wanted to try to be gentle with Jia She, to see if she could continue to coax him, but she didn't expect Jia She to be reticent now.

Seeing Jia Amnesty like this, it is determined to deal with Lai Da, and he is holding on to something, so Jia's mother can only grit her teeth and give up Lai Da.

"Okay then, Lai Da can't do it, let his younger brother Lai Er take the top, that's all right!"

Although she gave up on Lai Da, but the position of the housekeeper is so important, Mother Jia still has to arrange for her own people. Just a few days ago, Nanny Lai said that she wanted Lai Er to be a housekeeper in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Jing has begun to indulge in Taoism now, but his wife is still there, he only seeks immortals at home and reads Taoism, and has not gone to Xuanzhen Temple to become a monk.

Although Jia Jing's wife pays respect to Jia's mother, in fact, Jia's mother can't get involved in the affairs of Ningguo Mansion, unlike later, when Jia Jing's wife died and Jia Jing became a monk, Jia Zhen is absurd, and was pinched to death by Jia's mother .

So although Mother Jia agreed to Nanny Lai, she couldn't do it for a while, and it happened that Lai Da was disabled, and Mother Jia thought that Lai Er would be the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion.

But Jia Amnesty still refused, he finally seized the opportunity to abolish Lai Da, of course he couldn't continue to watch the Lai family continue to manage the Rongguo Mansion.

"I don't need to talk about it, mother. I already have an idea for the position of housekeeper." Jia Amnesty directly rejected Jia's mother's proposal.

When Jia's mother heard it, she was furious on the spot, "Presumptuous, when is it your turn to decide before I die, you are really too rampant."

Jia She looked at Jiamu coldly, "Mother, don't keep pressing me with filial piety. You have to know that women still have three obediences. When the husband dies, the son is the son. When the father is gone, I am the head of the government." , something like this should have been my decision.”

"You don't have to worry about the big housekeeper. Housekeeper Shou did a good job back then. Originally, he was not old enough, so I will send someone to call him back. Since Lai Da took charge, the servants in the house have lost their rules. It’s time for Butler Shou to come back and discipline them properly.”

Butler Shou was Jia Daishan's chief steward when he was in Jia's mansion. He followed Jia Daishan since he was a child.

If Jia's mother doesn't want to, then Ah Shou is an old fox, and he only cares for the Jia family. When the time comes, he will only listen to Jia She, and will not stand on his own side.

"Ah Shou has already gone to retire, so don't bother him anymore! If you don't want to use Lai Da, you can choose a new one in the mansion. Such a big mansion, can't you choose a housekeeper?"

Jia She was determined to find Housekeeper Shou, but it was useless what Jia Mu said, "Mom, there is no need to say more, my son has made up his mind. You have a good rest, and my son will leave first."

After finishing speaking, she walked away and waited for Jia Amnesty to leave. Jia's mother smashed the tea bowl in her hand angrily, "You're an asshole! You're an asshole!"

Although Jia She didn't see it, he could guess what Jia Mu looked like.

Back in his yard, Jia Amnesty told Lin Zhixiao to invite the housekeeper Shou back.

Then he called Mother Bai over, "Mom Bai, go and prepare some gifts, I will take Lian'er to Qinglian Academy to visit my father-in-law tomorrow."

Mother Bai smiled happily when she heard this. Since Zhang's death, Jia She has lost contact with the Zhang family. The Zhang family is not used to Jia She's muddle-headed look. Without Zhang's mediation, Jia She also feels that the Zhang family is hypocritical. , a sour gas.

Jia Lian, who was tired, didn't go to Zhang's house for several years, and he was very unfamiliar with his grandfather's family. On the contrary, he followed Wang's family to Wang's house many times in recent years, and he was relatively close to Wang's family.

Looking at the situation, Mother Bai was of course anxious. She came from the Zhang family, so of course she didn't want Jia Lian to be alienated from the Zhang family, but there was nothing she could do about the situation when she was alone, and Jia Amnesty was not one to listen to advice before. .

Seeing that Jia Amnesty has cheered up now, and wants to send Jia Lian to Zhang's family for school, Nanny Bai is very happy.

"The old slave will go to prepare, and everything will be done according to the old routine prepared by the madam?"

Jia Amnesty waved his hand, "That's it, you go straight to it!"

Early the next morning, Jia She got up and went to see Jia Lian. After all, he was still a child, and the environment suddenly changed. Jia She was afraid that he would cry and feel unwell.

I didn't expect Jia Lian to be quite used to it, Jia She thought so too, since the nanny and familiar servants followed, there shouldn't be any discomfort.

Jia Lian had just gotten up at this time, and his maid was helping him get dressed. She might not have woken up, but she kept rubbing her eyes. The Jia family had good genes and looked quite cute.

Seeing Jia She coming, Jia Lian looked scared and hid behind the maid who was helping him get dressed.

Jia She recalled, before the original owner met Jia Lian, every time Jia Lian showed timidity, the original owner would get angry when he saw him like that, but what does a child know, the angrier he is, the more afraid Jia Lian is, and over time, Jia She I became more and more impatient to look at Jia Lian.

But now Jia She likes children very much. Seeing Jia Lian like that, he is not angry, but smiles kindly, "Lian'er, come here, you are a man, how can you hide behind a woman, I am your father, come soon I'm here."

Jia Lian still refused to come out, his nanny Zhao Mama hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Master, don't take offense, Brother Lian is over there, and he hasn't seen anyone, so he is a little timid."

Jia She frowned, thinking that the child was still young, so he had better take his time!

Originally, he wanted to have breakfast with Jia Lian, but seeing Jia Lian's behavior, he had no choice but to give up this idea, fearing that the child would be too scared to eat.

"You guys give Lian'er breakfast first, and I'll take him to visit his grandfather later." Mother Zhao quickly agreed.

Jia Amnesty went back to his courtyard to finish his breakfast, and after a short wait Zhao Nanny brought Jia Lian over.

Seeing Jia Lian holding Zhao Nanny all the time, Jia She frowned, "Lien'er, we will go to your grandfather's place later, you are already 6 years old, so Nanny Zhao won't go with you, just take your servant with you. "

As soon as Jia Lian heard that Nanny Zhao couldn't follow her, tears came down, but maybe she was too afraid of Jia Amnesty, so Jia Lian didn't dare to make trouble, so she just kept crying.

Jia Amnesty is very patient with children, he raised his son in his previous life.

He walked up to Jia Lian, knelt down and touched his shoulder, "Lian'er, you are a man, how can you shed tears casually, you are obedient, when you come back from your grandfather, my father will take you to the night market. "

Business was prosperous during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the night market was also very prosperous at night, and there was no curfew.

After all, Jia Lian was just a child, and when he heard that he could go to the night market, he burst into laughter immediately, and nodded to Jia She, "Lian'er listens to my father."

Jia She happily patted his head and carried him out the door.

Usually Jia She went out on horseback, but today because of Jia Lian, he took a carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at the western suburbs, where Qinglian Academy was built on the mountain.

Zhang's house was originally in the capital, but later Mrs. Zhang retired and opened Qinglian Academy in this western suburb mountain.

Later, there was a rebellion by the prince, and the eldest and second eldest son of the Zhang family were angered and lost their official positions.

The Zhang family had no official title, so they simply moved their family to the Qinglian Academy. The two brothers of the Zhang family were both Jinshi (two-ranked scholars) and had solid knowledge, so they both taught in the academy.

Jia Amnesty sent someone to send a greeting card yesterday. Knowing that he was not to be seen, he specially wrote to visit with his son Jia Lian.

The Zhang family still feels sorry for their nephew Jia Lian. The Zhang family has strict family rules, and only a man over 40 years old who has no children can take a concubine.

Therefore, the Zhang family did not have any brothers and sisters from concubines, but only two brothers who were direct relatives. At that time, Jia Daishan helped Jia Shen to marry Zhang family with the kindness of saving his life, but the Zhang family was not very willing.

But Zhang couldn't bear to let her father be known as ungrateful, so she voluntarily agreed to marry Jia She.

Zhang Mansion is now next to the academy. Jia She took Jia Lian out of the car, and Jia Yi went to the concierge to report.

Jia Yi and the others are already on duty, and now Jia She let them take turns to follow when he goes out.

After Jia Yi reported, Zhang Chengxin, the second elder brother of the Zhang family, came out not long after.

Jia Amnesty hurried forward, "I met my second brother, Lian'er, this is your second uncle, hurry up and say hello to your second uncle." Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Zhang Chengxin was angry with Jia She, but for Jia Lian's sake, he couldn't be too indifferent, so he could only nod at Jia She, and then hugged Jia Lian.

"It's been a few years since I haven't seen Lian'er at this age, hurry up and go in with uncle, your grandfather and grandmother will miss you."

Seeing Zhang Chengxin walking in with Jia Lian in his arms, Jia She hurriedly followed.

When they got to the main courtyard, they saw Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang waiting there.

Seeing Jia Lian being brought in, the old lady quickly stepped forward to take it, "My dear grandson, let grandma take a good look at it."

Seeing Jia Lian thinking of the deceased Zhang, the old lady couldn't help but shed tears, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Lian'er is so old, if your mother is still here, how happy I would be!"

Mrs. Zhang was also very sentimental, but Jia Amnesty was still there, and he still had to teach Jia Amnesty a lesson.

However, it is rude to talk about the father to the son.Mrs. Zhang first sent Jia Lian to the backyard.

"Okay, don't cry, Lian'er got up early in the morning and came here, he must be tired, you take him to your yard to rest, and meet his two aunts and brothers and sisters by the way."

The old lady nodded, and ignored Jia Amnesty from the beginning to the end. After Jia Amnesty greeted her, she stood aside in embarrassment.

Jia She cursed the original owner in his heart and left the mess to himself, but he took over the body, so let's help him solve these things, and the original owner is really sorry for Mrs. Zhang, and it is right to be made things difficult.

After the old lady left, Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia She and said, "General, please do it! I am now a commoner and cannot be treated as a courtesy by the General."

Jia She quickly saluted again, "Father-in-law, please calm down. My son-in-law knows that he was too absurd a few years ago and made his father-in-law and brother-in-law angry, but my son-in-law has repented now, and he will definitely change his ways in the future. Please forgive my father-in-law and brother-in-law." husband."

Jia Amnesty was so straightforward, and his posture was so low, it was hard for Mrs. Zhang to say anything.

Besides, although his daughter died, she still left behind a grandson. If he forced Jia She too much, it would be bad if he angered the child.

"Forget it, since you can say that, you must have regretted it. Please sit down first!"

This time Jia She did not refuse and sat down directly. Zhang Chengli, Zhang's eldest brother who had been silent just now, spoke at this time.

"What is the general's purpose in coming this time?" Hearing his words, Jia Amnesty knew that he was still angry.

"Brother, just call me Enhou, you can't call me a general." Jia Amnesty clasped his fists at Zhang Chengli.

"My son-in-law came here this time to beg his father-in-law. I'm ashamed to say that my son-in-law has been doing nothing for the past two years. He only cares about himself and doesn't care much about Lian'er. Only a few days ago, he discovered that Lian'er is already 6 years old. illiterate."

Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Chengli frowned after hearing this. Zhang Chengxin asked in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Jia She deliberately put on a sad expression, "Second brother doesn't know something, since Yan'er passed away, my mother took Lian'er over to raise him, and Lian'er usually follows my second younger sibling, I didn't expect her to... well!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chengxin couldn't help curling his lips, but after all, this was an internal matter of Jia's family, so he didn't talk too much, lest he would be unpleased.

"I thought of my father-in-law, who runs an academy, so I wanted to send Lian'er here. I begged my father-in-law to accept Lian'er and educate him well. My son-in-law, please."

After finishing speaking, Jia Amnesty stood up, cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, Zhang Chengli shook his head, "Enhou, you are mistaken. Although our family has opened an academy, it only accepts students who have already been selected as scholars."

Jia Amnesty was embarrassed. He only knew that the Zhang family opened an academy, but he hadn't inquired about the admission requirements in detail. He thought that Jia Lian was the grandson of the Zhang family, so he would definitely not be rejected.

Seeing Jia She's embarrassed face, Old Master Zhang smiled, "Chengli, don't tease Enhou."

"Enhou, although Lian'er can't go to the academy, she can come to my Zhang family to study. Now I only go to the academy to give lectures every five days, and stay at home for the rest of the day. I can personally enlighten Lian'er."

When Jia She heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, "My son-in-law has thanked his father-in-law on behalf of Lian'er, so I can thank him for his troubles."

After discussing the matter of Jia Lian's enrollment, Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia She, and asked him tentatively, "Your Majesty, it has been several years since Yan'er passed away, what are your family's plans now?"
