The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke saw that Jia Mu had nothing to say, so she and Jia Mu left.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Mother Jia told them again: "You should take the account books back and store them carefully, and don't be late for business trips."

Jia Ke and Lin Zhixiao agreed and withdrew.

Seeing Jia Ke and the others leaving the room, Mother Jia said to the maid serving in the room, "You all go out, I want to have a quiet time."

Mother Jia was lying on the bed alone thinking about things, thinking about how Lai Momo had become like this, she didn't want to deal with Lai Momo in her heart, but the fact that Lai Momo committed something was too great, and she was forced to be punished by others. So much gold and silver was copied from the family.

When Jia's mother thought of so much gold and silver, she became more and more angry. Jia's income has been decreasing in recent years, and it is almost unable to pay. I am afraid that the Lai family's role in it is the most important.But the other housekeepers are innocent?But it's not as arrogant as the Lai family.Mother Jia thought, since this is the case, let's deal with this matter today.

Jia Mu said to the outside: "Come here and prepare some dishes and two jugs of wine for me."

After a while, several exquisite dishes and two jugs of wine were placed on the table.Several little maids came forward to serve Jia Mu for dinner.

Jia Mu didn't eat, but asked the little girl to put the wine and vegetables in a food box, and then let the little girl back down.She carried the food box by herself and went to Madam Guan Lai's room.

Nanny Lai was lying on the bed thinking about something, she felt that there was nothing serious about this matter, and there was no danger of her life.Suddenly seeing that it was Mother Jia coming, with a food box in her hand, she quickly got up from the bed to salute.

After Jia Mu sat on the bed, she asked her to get up, sat opposite her, and then put out the wine and dishes herself.

Then he said to her: "It's been a long time for us, master and servant, and we haven't talked carefully. You are also an old lady in Lai's house, and you are also pampered and talkative. I'm afraid Yijing doesn't respect me like before. .”

Nanny Lai hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare I show the slightest bit of disrespect to the old lady. If I want to think like this, I will be struck with thunder."

Mother Jia ignored her curse and swore to continue: "I have always felt that the two of us are suffering together, and we should share prosperity, so I am very grateful to promote the two boys of your family. They are now the chief stewards of Ningrong Second Mansion. .I'm not being mean to you."

Nanny Lai knelt on the ground and dared not get up. Hearing Mother Jia speak like this, her tone was a little off.She couldn't help crying and said: "Old lady, please forgive this slave this time. This is my foolishness. I will definitely change it in the future."

Mother Jia watched Lai Mama crying and weeping bitterly, she was also sad, and tears flowed unconsciously.

Jia's mother said to her: "Don't cry yet, get up and eat some food, and the two of us will chat later."

Mammy Lai thought that Mother Jia had relented and let the family go, so she got up and sat opposite Mother Jia, and Mother Jia poured wine for her herself.

Nanny Lai quickly signed it and said, "How can I let the old lady pour me wine? What is my name?"

Jia Mu said: "I'll pour it for you and you can drink it. We have been friends for so many years. We say that we are masters and servants, but we are actually sisters. If you hadn't been with me for so many years, I don't know if I would have survived. I'll pour it for you." This glass of wine is what it should be."

Mammy Lai just picked up the wine and drank, and then had a few mouthfuls of food, and Mother Jia also ate a few mouthfuls of food with her.Afterwards, the two chatted about the past while drinking and eating vegetables, but Madam Lai didn't realize that Jia's mother only ate vegetables and didn't drink a sip of wine (maybe she had discovered it long ago, but she didn't say it).

After thirty days of wine and five flavors of food, Mammy Lai seemed to have let go, and said to Mother Jia: "Miss, we have been together for so many years, and now we have nothing to say, so I will leave these few years alone." I want to tell you what’s on my mind.”

Mother Jia hasn't heard anyone call her Miss for many years, and now it's Mammy Lai who calls her Miss, Mother Jia also feels a pang of sourness welling up in her heart.

Enduring the soreness in her heart, Mother Jia nodded and said, "Tell me, I'll listen, I've wanted to hear what's on your mind for a long time."

Nanny Lai said to Mother Jia: "Miss, don't blame me for talking about you. You have raised and disabled our two masters. I'm afraid they can't even defend the city. The elder master only knows how to drink and play with women. If you don’t do serious things, and you have made mistakes before, there is no hope in this life. The second master is still good, but his vision is too narrow and his heart is not good. I think this will be the case in this life.”

Mother Jia nodded and said to her, "You're right, the second brother of their brothers is not bad enough to guard the city in this house. Otherwise, the old Duke would not have let the second child live in Rongxi Hall when he went there. Let the boss go out of the mansion to the nearby yard, and the boss made a mistake back then and couldn't live in Rongxi Hall."

Nanny Lai said to Mother Jia again: "Miss, let's not talk about who was right and wrong in those years. Now let's talk about the third generation of the Jia family. Promising, but he is too young to wait for the emergency. When he grows up, the Rongguo Mansion may be ruined. As for the eldest brother and brother Lian, one of them is at most a martial artist and cannot become a hero. The other may not be as good as the eldest brother. Just like the master, he is also a drunkard."

Mother Jia was already a little angry at her criticizing all the men and women in the mansion for being useless, but she didn't refute, because he knew what Lai Nanny said was true, and she had nothing to refute, Lai Nanny had already put Rong Everyone in the government sees it through.But when he said that Jia Ke was just a martial artist, Mother Jia showed a mysterious smile on her face.She thought to herself that Nanny Lai was a slave after all, and there were some things she couldn't know.She thought that he knew all the secrets of the Rongguo Mansion, but how could he know, what he understood was only superficial, the deepest secrets of the Rongguo Mansion would never be told to her a servant.

Chapter 43 Conversation 2

Seeing that Mother Jia is silent, Lai Momo thought he was talking about Mother Jia's weakness, and then said with a smile: "Miss, seeing that the Rongguo Mansion can't hold on for many years, I also have a family, and I want to do it for you." My own children and grandchildren make plans. How will I live without some money.” Then he laughed, looked at Jia and said, “Miss, Rongguo Mansion is no longer the Rongguo Mansion it used to be, but it still has to support the Rongguo Mansion’s airs. In the end, you're not much better than me. I'm afraid I'm just going ahead."

Mother Jia looked at her and said, "It's over? It's time to go on the road." Seeing her proud look, she felt a little annoyed, and laughed and said to her, "You really think that you know everything about Rongguo Mansion. Secret? You are too self-sufficient, without some backers, how can you be regarded as a nobleman who founded the country. Our Jia family will be rich in the future, how can you, a servant, know?"

Nanny Lai had already gone all out, and said to Mother Jia: "Miss, you don't have to hold on. The current situation in Jia's mansion, as long as you are not blind, no one can see it. I am leaving too, you tell me these things What's the point of coaxing?"

Jia Mu said to her: "You are right, it's already this time, what's the point of me coaxing you."

At this time, Mammy Lai suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen. She covered her stomach with one hand and looked at Mother Jia calmly.As if to read something from her face.

Mother Jia looked at Nanny Lai, her face seemed calm, but the veins on her forehead were bulging, and the hand holding her stomach was shaking all the time.

Mother Jia couldn't bear the sourness in her heart anymore, and two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes involuntarily.

Mother Jia couldn't bear to let her leave in such a daze, and asked her with tears in her eyes, "Yulan (Nurse Lai's name when she was young) do you believe that there are gods in the world?"

Nanny Lai endured the pain, shook her head and said, "I don't believe that there are such evil spirits in the world. If there were, I would have killed so many people, and some evil spirits would have come to me long ago." After finishing speaking, she looked up. Looking at Jia Mu, she saw Jia Mu looking at her with a serious face, she didn't have to tremble in her heart, she looked at Jia Mu with a face full of disbelief and said, "Is there really such a thing in the world?"

Jia's mother said to her seriously: "You don't know, it doesn't mean that there are no such things in the world. Some things are not known to outsiders if they are not at a certain level of duke. What do you mean, is it really just to eliminate his sins and do good deeds for him? You don’t think so like those fools, do you?”

Madam Lai asked incredulously, "Isn't it?"

Mother Jia said to her contemptuously: "You are still a slave after all, even if you are rich and rich, there are some things that you can't know? For the sake of our master and servant, I say I will tell you at the end."

Nanny Lai couldn't hold on any longer, she clenched her teeth and insisted on listening to the secret.

Jia Mu said slowly: "I don't know if there are really immortals in this world, but there are some who cultivate immortals and visit Taoism. That Taoist priest is such a person, and his Taoism is not low."

Nanny Lai was speechless at this moment, holding her stomach with one hand and supporting her body with the other, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Mother Jia, wanting to keep 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 hope for a person, and this person is Brother Ke you look down on. Do you know what he saw?"

At this moment, Mammy Lai had only one breath left, but she still insisted on listening to the last words.

Jia Mu went on to say: "Brother Ke, the aura is colorful, shaped like a canopy, and blessed by two dragon veins in the body, this is the aura of the Son of Heaven."

Nanny Lai has reached her final deathbed.

Mother Jia looked at Nanny Lai who was about to die, with tears in her eyes, but a bright smile on her face, choked up and said to her: "Yulan, our family is about to have an emperor, and Yulan is in this house. I can cover it for you if the sky turns upside down, but you can't offend Brother Ke, and if you offend him, I have to punish you, because I can't let him separate from his family."

Nanny Lai was completely plunged into darkness, but she could still hear Jia Mu's voice. She now fully understood why Jia Mu treated her like this. Their family fell into the abyss.Now she fully understands why Mother Jia didn't worry about her two sons and ruined the Jia family, because now she just has to wait quietly, waiting for Jia Ke to become the emperor, and their family will be prosperous and rich without end.But before this, there must be no mistakes, and Jia Ke must not be dissatisfied with the Jia family.

At this time, Mother Jia said the last words to her: "Yulan, you are too impatient, and your vision is too low, otherwise, when Brother Ke is successful, your family will not lose the reward of being a marquis."

Nanny Lai is completely out of breath now, but her spirit is still in the final stage of activity.She finally thought that if their family was honest, maybe she would become an old feudal monarch who could enjoy endless wealth like Jia's mother.She was never heard from again after that.

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Mother Jia suddenly threw herself on Nanny Lai, crying bitterly, cursing at the same time: "You stupid woman with no eyesight, why are your eyelids so shallow? You have always pretended to be smart for so many years, you Just don't trust me once."

Mother Jia cried for a while, got up to calm down, smoothed her clothes, wiped away her tears, and became that stable and kind old lady again.

Mother Jia got up and walked to the door, turned her head and glanced at the dead Nanny Lai, as if saying goodbye to her former self, and walked out the door resolutely.In fact, Jia's mother still has doubts about Zhang Taoist's words, but she still has to go on firmly, because this is the last hope of Jia's family. Without this hope, she can only die in despair in a drunken dream.

Mother Jia returned to the main hall and asked her confidants to inform Jia Zheng that Nanny Lai committed suicide in fear of crime and asked him to dispose of the body.

When Jia Zheng heard what Jia Mu sent someone to pass on, he led people overnight and buried Lai Nanny on the messy grave of you.

The next thing was that Lai Da's family was sold to the black coal mine, and other maids and servants in his family were also sold, and then there was no sound about this matter.Only after getting drunk, the old servants occasionally talked about the scenery of Lai's family back then, and lamented his terrible greed.

This matter is nothing to others, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion knew about it, and he would disturb three points if he had nothing to do, let alone such a big thing happened, I heard that the West Mansion copied Lai Da's house , Copied out several 10 taels of silver, and he was ready to move.

And Lai Er has spent the past few days like a year, hesitating all day long, every day you show courtesy in front of Jia Zhen, and keep giving good things, but you still haven't escaped bad luck.
