Amnesty of the Red Chamber
Work related
, It is a bloody chicken blood stone the size of a palm.This thing can't even be found in his warehouse.
How to deal with it?Lai Da wanted to say that it would be best if this had never happened.But thinking about it, it would not be such a good thing. Stealing the imperial gift, the defendant is dead, and it is even more dead to deal with it according to family law, but he doesn't want to die.Get up and kneel properly, and slammed your head on the ground, "My lord, I'm a slave, please handle it as you like. I just ask you, for the sake of my parents, leave a root for the Lai family."
It wasn't his idea of pleading guilty, begging for mercy, putting him to death and reviving after beating.People can live well, who the hell is willing to die?It's also because he was too careless in the past, and this time he was too caught off guard, so it's not wrong to fall into it.If you can escape today, let's wait and see him in the future!
"Look at you, what do you say that you can't die? Is the master the kind of master who can't forgive others?" Master Xi didn't hide his hypocrisy at all, "Just now, I also told Mrs. Lai that you Although the crime deserves death, my lord, I am a benevolent man, how could I take someone's life at will. Don't worry, your old Lai's family can't get rid of the root."
"Lin Zhixiao, the master gave Lai Da and his wife fifty boards. You go and watch them beat them, but don't beat them hard. If you beat them hard, you have to support them. How much work will be lost." From the beginning, Jia Amnesty had no intention of taking the family's life, as being alive would be torture.Think about it, what a relief it would be to be beaten back to your original form after getting used to serving slaves and maidservants, wearing gold and silver.
When they finish their work, send them all to Zhuangzi, so that people can watch them reform through labor.He drew a lot of strong labor from Zhuangzi, so he naturally had to make up for it.Although the members of the Lai family don't seem to be able to work, Mr. She believes that the cruel reality will teach them everything.
As for selling it out, Jia Amnesty never thought about it.This kind of family-born slaves, their ancestors were all servants in the house, who knows that they all know the privacy of the master's house, it's better to control it in their own hands.
"My lord, those members of the Wang family are lucky to be outside." You don't mean to forget them, do you?Seeing that Jia Amnesty wanted to finish the job, Lin Zhixiao quickly reminded him.On the way back, he had already settled the money, and he hasn't been able to keep his mouth shut since then.Not to mention those things on the list, just the house deed, land deed, bank notes and cash, they can divide this amount, this amount!
Even if several people share it equally, one person can share two or three hundred taels of silver, which is enough to set up a small village.However, Lin Zhixiao also admires Lai Da, this is how bold a person is and how much wealth his family has.Thinking of his grandfather and father, they have also been housekeepers all their lives, but compared with the Lai family who has only been a housekeeper for more than ten years, their own family property is not even comparable to other people's fractions.How can you not say a word of convincing!
"Hmph, all of them will be beaten and sent to the Zhuangzi. You told the Zhuangtou to 'entertain' them well for me. When the master thinks of going to see them, if they live too well, hehe... …Then no one should think about it.” As for that family, Jia Amnesty didn’t even want to ask, and when he saw them, he remembered what the little girl had suffered, and threw them all to Zhuangzi’s reformation area.
He turned his head and saw his son Jia Lian sitting upright, and suddenly remembered something.Self-confidently patted his son on the shoulder kindly, pardoned the elder and said: "Come here, Xia He, the master has something to tell you, it's a good thing." As soon as Xia He came over, he whispered in his ear non-stop , During this period, there were two sinister laughs from time to time.
Jia Xiaolian felt goosebumps from his father's "kind" smile, this style really didn't match his father's image, it didn't make him feel kind, but it felt very convulsive.What's more, if you listen to his laughter, you will hear that the weasel has stolen the chicken, and you don't know what bad idea it has.Looking at Xia He's face, his chin almost fell off.
"Master, this...is this okay? In case...in case of hurting him, the servant can't afford it." Xia He didn't expect the master to say this, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.After all, that master is very delicate and precious, if something goes wrong, the master may be fine, but her fate must be involved.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here for everything. You just do it. If you do well, the master will naturally reward you." Jia Shehun waved his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, but Is there someone you like? When your wife handed you over to the master, I will naturally end up with you. If someone chooses, just say, the master will back up a big dowry for you, so that you can get married in a good way."
Jia She asked Xia He to do this matter because this girl was trained by the Zhou family herself, and she is really a good hand in the house fight.Today's ability to stuff those rouge hairpins into Zhou Zhou rituals shows her skill.If it weren't for her low background, Xia He would actually be very suitable for life in a deep house, but it's a pity that she left too early in her previous life.
Xia He couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and his heart was full of surprises.She has been serving the master for several years, and a while ago, she heard that the master wanted to take her into the house. In fact, she has nothing to do with it.The left and right masters are just good-looking, but have no bad habits.However, she is not willing to be a concubine if she can be a good lady.Could it be that the master was joking with her in the past?
"Master... this servant will live up to his trust." In order to get married, Xia He decided to fight.
======
Shi Taijun stared coldly at Nanny Lai who was crying and begging on the ground, frowned and pressed the forehead, Yuan Chun immediately stepped forward to help her massage with medicated oil.She really didn't expect that Lai's family would make such a big mistake for her. This slave really has a big heart.Thinking about his swear words just now, Shi Taijun only felt his face was hot, and no one slapped him in pain.
She suddenly thought of the smile Jia She had given her when she left just now.At that time, she could lie to herself that it was to please her, but now she can be sure that that evil person is clearly trying to make fun of her.Hmph, she really didn't grow up beside her!At this moment, Shi Taijun hated the Lai family and others who made her lose face, but what she hated even more was her own son, Jia She.
The old lady felt that this is not a son, but a debt collector.He clearly knew how big a mistake the Lai family had made, but he just didn't tell her, watching her embarrass herself and lose face here.I don't know how to be considerate of her as a mother. If I don't mention it, I may be thinking about her jokes in my heart.Such an unfilial son... such an unfilial son should be kicked out of the house.
Mrs. Wang's feet have been bandaged, and she is still sitting in the upper room, listening to Nanny Lai's voice, all kinds of thoughts in her heart are boiling.
The Lai family is the old man's right-hand man. Even though she has been the housekeeper these years, she has not been able to pry Lai freshman or two, and it always makes her unable to do as she pleases.At this time, she was naturally happy to see this family being unlucky.Lai Da collapsed, and Zhou Rui and his wife just happened to come to the top, which was exactly what she wanted.
But as long as she thinks that this family has stolen so much money and things from her, Mrs. Wang will grit her teeth with hatred.She has long regarded Rongguo Mansion as the second room's private property, and the Lai family's greed for things in the mansion is no different from cutting her flesh.
However, what she is more concerned about now is, where are the copied things?The things belonged to the entire Rongguo Mansion, so what if Jia She wanted to swallow them himself? !As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't even care about the injury on her feet, she wished she could grab those things back immediately.
"Mother Lai, don't cry. Now that this matter has already happened, there must be a regulation. Although the elder is a bit reckless, it is your fault first. We haven't seen those people yet. There is no way to tell which rule to follow when the evidence is confiscated. Old lady, why not...bring over the evidence first, and let's take a look at it?"
Shi Taijun nodded when he heard the words, the words of the second daughter-in-law deeply touched her heart.Mammy Lai's family is over, and she has to choose another confidant to replace her, but there is no rush.The most urgent thing at the moment is to get back the Lai family's things, no matter what, we can't take advantage of that evil.
She was about to give orders when Yuanyang came in to report, "Old lady, sister Xia He who is next to the old man is here."
"Let her in." She wants to see what this evil person has to say.
"My servant greets the old lady and the second lady." Xia He greeted the two of them generously, and then replied with a smile: "Old lady, the elder ordered the servant to go back and forth to blame the housekeeper. The elder said, our family is not That family who takes human life at every turn, but the death penalty can be avoided, the Lai family has been dealt with, please rest assured."
"What..." Nanny Lai was startled suddenly, she didn't expect the old man to do it so quickly, without even asking the old lady.In the past, the elder would not say that he would obey the old lady, but he would not be so arbitrary.
"How did you deal with it? Why did you dare to decide at will without making a back and forth? Lai Da's matter can be big or small, how can the boss be so rash?" Shi Taijun was very unhappy, with a gloomy face.Today, her authority has been seriously challenged by Jia She, which she cannot tolerate.She thought that as long as she was alive, this Rongguo Mansion should be her voice.
Xia He didn't dare to hide it, and there was no need to hide it, he said: "Because the butler Lai secretly coveted two pieces of gifts from the mansion, and six pieces of dowry from the first wife, the elder has ordered someone to beat Lai and his wife , and then sent his family to Zhuangzi.”
Speaking of this, she glanced at Nanny Lai, "Besides, the old man said that Nanny Lai and a boy from the Lai family have lost their slave status, so they are not counted as servants in the house, so his grandparents and grandchildren are not considered servants of the family." This is not counted. The Elder Master also said that Nanny Lai doesn’t have to go to thank you.”
After hearing this, Nanny Lai felt at ease, as long as she could survive, she would be able to say anything.Besides, if Rong'er survived, the Lai family still had hope of turning around.At this moment, Mammy Lai was really grateful to Jia Amnesty, and this result was considered easy.
Shi Taijun felt his head ache even more, and asked wearily: "Go back and tell the boss that this is not okay. Let him send the evidence over as soon as possible, and I will handle this matter myself. Hmph, I have been too charitable all these years All silverfish crawled out."
Hearing this, Nanny Lai had a bitter look on her face.She knew very well that this was a fight between mother and son, but they just used their family as a weapon.Alas, if the old lady persists, she may have to pay for her life.
"The evidence has been brought, look, old lady." Xia He called out, and two little maids outside brought in a box, and she took out the two imperial gifts from it, "This is the case copied from the Lai family. It came out. The other dowries were given to Young Master Lian by Elder Master."
"Sure enough, it was something bestowed by the Taizu." Shi Taijun took a closer look, and then recognized the thing. He couldn't help but gouged Lai Mammy hard, and then asked: "What else?"
"It's gone." Xia He looked over in surprise, "That's it. The old man said that there are only three people left in the house next to him. Because it is under the name of Lai Shangrong, the old man reads that he will be served by Nanny Lai." For the sake of the old lady for many years, she has not taken it back."
"Let... loose!" Shi Taijun was immediately furious when she heard that, just now she had heard Nanny Lai say how much money and items were copied, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry.But now that villain dared to send her away with two immovable imperial gifts, and dared to covet so much money and things, he couldn't be greedy anymore.
Xia He knelt down as soon as she bent her knees, begging for mercy in a hurry: "Old lady, please calm down, this servant really doesn't know anything else, that's what the Elder Master ordered this servant to do. Old lady, this servant really doesn't know anything..."
"Ah, that's right! The Elder Master has something else to do. He wants the slaves to report to the old lady. The Elder Master said that when the Eldest Wife left, the dowry was sealed in the public treasury. Today, it is discovered that the Lai family stole the old lady. The elder is a little worried about the wife's dowry, and I will open the warehouse for inventory tomorrow." Before Shi Taijun and others could react, Xia He dropped another bomb.
This time, not only Shi Taijun, but even Mrs. Wang's expression changed.Jia She was originally married to the Zhou family, and she was also from a family of honorable generals, but in her brother's generation, she is already capable of both civil and military skills.When Mrs. Zhou got married back then, as the only daughter-in-law, she accompanied her with a total of 120 sets of dowry, which was truly a red dowry.To say that Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang are not jealous, heh...
When Mrs. Zhou left, the Zhou family had come to count her dowry. At that time, there was a list of what was left for Jia Lian. There is nothing to say about it.But Jia Lian was too young at that time, so he put all his brains into the public treasury.As for the shops and Zhuangzi that need to be managed, Shi Taijun originally volunteered, but the Zhou family did not agree, which made her very annoyed.Of course, what was even more annoying was that Jia Amnesty didn't turn to her either.
Over the years, Shi and Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been moving around like ants, and some valuables have entered their private treasury early.Originally thought that Jia She and his son were easy to fool, so they just messed around in the future.But Jia Amnesty suddenly wanted to take stock of Zhou's dowry, wouldn't that just add to the chaos!
"Hmph, don't you think this house is not chaotic enough? You go, call me the boss, I..."
Shi Taijun was talking, when suddenly he saw a person with disheveled hair rushing in, shouting while running: "Old lady, madam...Second Master Bao, Second Master is not good..."
The Tenth Chapter of Palace Affairs The Empress Dowager Is Confident in Hanyu's Birth
In the Forbidden City, in the Daming Palace, a graceful woman who appeared to be in her early forties was playing with a pot of flowers and plants. This was the current Empress Dowager.
Maybe it was because the potted flower was not very satisfactory to her, and the queen mother put it aside after a while.After cleaning her hands under the service of the palace servants, she sat on the phoenix couch and sipped tea, looking at the door from time to time.
"Didn't the message pass? Why hasn't the emperor come yet?" The queen mother put the cup on the table a little unhappy, but was accidentally scalded by the lukewarm tea, and simply swept the cup down.
Seeing many palace people kneeling down to plead guilty, she also felt irritated, and waved her hands to make them retreat.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if you are angry, you can't ignore your body. Look at your hands are red." Nanny Gong is the Empress Dowager's confidant, and she has served the Empress Dowager since she was a child, so her words were somewhat casual.
While ordering someone to bring the ointment, she persuaded: "I think there are many things in the previous court, and the emperor hasn't freed up yet. Are you hungry, and this servant will bring you a bowl of bird's nest?"
"Okay, there's no need for you to speak good words for him, I don't know him yet." The empress dowager was probably dissatisfied with her emperor's son, and her words were quite mean: "Since he felt that the dragon chair under his buttocks was sitting firmly Oh, why did you ever come to me on call? Alas, after becoming the empress dowager, I can’t even speak to my son, this is really..."
This is not very polite, the Queen Mother dared to say it, but Nanny Gong didn't dare to take it down, so she could only persuade her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Emperor is also filial, so I'll bring you all the good things first. Let's talk , you still have His Royal Highness Seventeen, His Highness Seventeen is so filial to you, and yesterday he specially bought your favorite cakes from outside the palace."
As soon as she heard her beloved young son, the Queen Mother really smiled, but then her face became gloomy again, and she said angrily: "I know that Tao'er is a filial son. I came to the emperor today not because of Tao'er. Seeing Zhuo Taoer is only fifteen, I heard that the emperor only intends to give him a county king, how can this work?"
"My Tao'er is the youngest son of the first emperor, the younger brother of the emperor. I feel that I have treated him badly by making him a prince. The emperor even planned to use a county king to send his younger brother away. Do you know what filial piety is?"
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the Queen Mother became more disorganized when she spoke, "He doesn't even think about it. If he hadn't been born in my stomach, he would have been able to get him in the dragon chair? If I had known that he was like this, I shouldn't have Seeing that Tao'er is still young, life and death have delayed my Tao'er."
I don't know where the Queen Mother got her confidence, she felt that she could choose between her two sons for the throne.When the first emperor passed away, her beloved young son was not yet full moon. He was the emperor?Is it true that all the dozen or so sons of the late emperor died!
Not only did Nanny Gong not dare to answer the words at this moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and she was sweating layer after layer.She had been serving the queen mother since she had never entered the palace, and she knew what kind of temperament her master was, and she had been open-minded since she was a child.
But in the past few years, His Royal Highness Seventeen has grown bigger and bigger, and the master has lost all scruples, and he really dares to say anything.She is the emperor's own mother, so if she said it, she would complain at most, but how could they let those who heard it live.
But she didn't dare to interrupt the queen mother, otherwise the queen mother would definitely get worse.Nanny Gong didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if the emperor heard all these words.
The queen mother may not know, but she does know that the two generations of emperors had no friendship with their master. If the emperor hadn't dissuaded him, the late emperor would have buried his master.
As for the current emperor, I'm afraid he just cared about the fact that his master is a human being, so he enshrined his master in the Palace of Compassion and Ning as a display.After all, the emperor was taken away by the first emperor to raise him himself at the age of three, and it was hard to say whether he remembered his mother at that time.
"You go in person, and when you see the emperor, tell me that I'm waiting for him to have dinner. If he doesn't come, I, a mother, won't even be able to eat." The queen mother finally rejoiced, seeing that the emperor hadn't come yet, she said angrily commanded.
When Nanny Gong found her, Yu Wenxi had just returned to Qianqing Palace from the secret path, changed into a new attire, and was sitting and correcting memorials, when a young eunuch came to report the letter.
Yu Wenxi sat without moving, circled the cinnabar with the imperial brush in his hand, and it took a long time to reply, "The government is busy today, and I don't have time."
The little eunuch came out in a low voice, and told Nanny Gong what he said.Nanny Gong couldn't help it, so she could only complain secretly in her heart, and went back to find a way to appease the Queen Mother.
Since ascension to the throne, under Yu Wenxi's subtle influence, the courtiers' memorials have become more concise and concise. There are not many things today, but they have been dealt with clearly in half an hour.Yu Wenxi looked at the time and ordered someone to set the meal, and picked up the secret report that had just arrived in his hand to read.
The conversation between the master and the servant in the Daming Palace just now has been recorded impressively.Yu Wenxi had already read too much, so he just flipped through it casually and put it aside, and instead picked up the one about Rongguo Mansion.Looking at it, the serious face became more and more relaxed, and finally he laughed.
The great eunuch Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew how bad the queen mother was when he was serving the emperor.Although the emperor didn't care about her in the past, he would always feel depressed for a while.This time is very good, I don't know what news can please His Majesty so much, I must collect more in the future.
"This Marquis Jia En is really interesting." Yu Wenxi shook his head with a smile, and ordered: "If there is anything new in the Rongguo Mansion in the future, remember to report it to me in time."
Li Qing quickly answered, took a closer look at the secret report handed over by the emperor, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.General Jia, that's enough, what's the point of being angry with a suckling baby?
So, what happened to Rongguo Mansion?But when Shi Taijun was about to reprimand Jia She, someone rushed in crying...
"Old lady, old lady... something happened, it's not good..." The man rushed to Shi Taijun as soon as he came in, knelt at her feet, hugged her leg and cried.
Shi Taijun was already flustered because of the daughter-in-law's dowry, but suddenly a person rushed up, and he was so scared that he didn't faint.When she finally calmed down and was about to scold her, she recognized Baoyu's nurse, Mrs. Li.Seeing how anxious she was, something must have happened to her Baoyu, and she couldn't care less now, so she was in a hurry to ask questions.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with my Baoyu? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Wang reacted much faster than her when it was about Baoyu. 'feet.
Mother Li was startled, frightened and worried, and murmured with a pale face: "Jade, jade, Baoyu's jade... I can't get the jade out!" After finally saying these words, she immediately burst into tears.
She also came from grief, thinking of her own end in Baoyu's accident, she couldn't speak in panic.She was Baoyu's nurse, and if something happened to Baoyu, the masters would look for her first.At that time, not only will she survive, but the whole family will be finished.
"What's wrong with the jade? What do you mean it can't be taken out?" Shi Taijun asked in a voice.That piece of psychic jade is a treasure. In her eyes, the precious jade is mostly because of this piece of jade.
Mrs. Wang also found it strange, and hurriedly asked questions from the side.She was very anxious, but Mammy Li was so worried and scared, she couldn't explain why, she couldn't help being furious, "Come here, drag this thief woman out for me to beat."
After all, Mrs. Wang didn't care about her mother-in-law anymore, and ran to Baoyu's house crying all the way, "My Baoyu—" She knew that the old man was not good at raising children, look, she is a good child Something happened to her, didn't it?
How long has it been since no one called the shots in her yard?Shi Taijun was so choked by Mrs. Wang that even Jinsun almost forgot.She paused severely on the crutch in her hand, and shouted in a cold voice: "First lock all the servants in Baoyu's house into the firewood room, and don't give me a single grain of water or rice."
At this time, Jia Baoyu was kept in the green cupboard in Shi Taijun's inner room. When Shi Taijun arrived, Mrs. Wang was holding Baoyu who was crying loudly, and she put her hand on Baoyu's mouth and fiddled with something.Shi Taijun hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, why is Baoyu crying all the time? Have you called a doctor yet?"
After seeing clearly what happened to her son, Mrs. Wang almost regretted it to death.She just wanted to use a piece of jade to raise Baoyu's identity, but she didn't expect that it would be revealed one day.At this moment, she looked down at her son and up at Shi Taijun, all she could do was cry.
At the beginning, when she was pregnant with Baoyu, she met a monk when she went out to offer incense. The two talked nonsense to her, and they wanted to send her unborn son to become a monk. What could she do?At that time, she ordered people to beat the two of them away, but the monk and Taoist disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when she regained her senses, she already had a piece of beautiful jade in her hand.
She never told anyone about this, and she took out the jade when Baoyu was born, and lied that it was taken from Baoyu's mouth.But now who can tell her that Baoyu really stuffed the jade in his mouth, what should I do if I can't get it out?
Shi Taijun was also in a hurry, and couldn't wait for Mrs. Wang to reply, so he snatched Baoyu who was crying non-stop to check carefully.Only then did she discover that Baoyu's psychic jade, which was supposed to be on the gold collar, was somehow held in his mouth again.There is an extra stone in his mouth, and he can't swallow it or spit it out. How can he feel comfortable? This child can't stop crying.
She carefully tried to take the jade out, and made several gestures with her fingers, but all failed.Only then did Shi Taijun panic, and hurriedly ordered someone to come for the tweezers, but it still didn't work.After so many fiddlings, Baoyu cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, sobbing feebly.
Thinking about it, if it could be taken out easily, Nanny Li wouldn't be able to go to the room and cry, she would have suppressed this matter long ago.Shi Taijun also understood at this time, and gave Wang a hard look, but he felt sorry for his little grandson, and ordered people to call the imperial physician immediately.
As soon as Xia He saw Nanny Li rushing in, she knew it was over.She couldn't help praying secretly in her heart, Second Master Bao, don't be cruel, who told you that you were born with jade, it's not a big deal if you think about it again.
As soon as something happened to the old lady's lifeblood, the entire roommate ran to show their courtesies, so who cares about her.Xia He got up from the ground and straightened her dress, Shi Shi ran out of Rongqing Hall.
When she went back to report to the Elder, Jia Amnesty would be happy.He said that he had also seen that piece of jade, and that boss didn't look like he could hold a baby in his mouth.Now look at it, even the one-year-old Baoyu was stuffed in and couldn't be taken out, let alone when he just fell into the grass.
Hmph, this man-made great blessing, I don't know how long it will last.

Speaking of taking stock of the dowry, Mr. She naturally didn't just talk about it casually, and made a lot of preparations.One is to ask for the list when it was sealed up in the past, and the other is to invite witnesses, and the third is to prevent people from confusing the real.
The witnesses are easy to say, just go and invite Jia Zhen and a few elders of the clan; Zhou's companion was still there back then, and then invite a few knowledgeable people from the shop, and they can see through the fake ones; the only thing that can make Jia She embarrassed is That list from back then.
When Zhou died, her dowry was counted and sealed by the Jia and Zhou families.A detailed list was left behind, and the two patriarchs personally signed and pledged it as a proof of sealing.The two families also agreed that when Jia Lian was 15 years old, they would marry Zhou's dowry to him.
In order to prevent entanglement in the future, the list was made in triplicate at that time, one copy was kept by Jia's family and Zhou's family, and the other was sent to Shuntian Mansion for archiving.This was specifically requested by the Zhou family. It was clear that they didn't trust the Jia family, and they had already slapped the Jia family in the face. Shi Taijun was quite angry.
Originally, when the daughter-in-law passed away, the dowry should be handed over to her, the mistress of the house, for safekeeping. How could she treat her grandson badly?But the Zhou family wanted to make a mess, sealing it up and imposing it, making it seem like she would be greedy for her daughter-in-law's dowry.
However, Jia Daishan nodded, no matter how reluctant Shi Taijun was, he could only pinch his nose to admit it.It's just that from then on, he didn't like to see the Zhou family members more and more, and he only had face and affection for Jia Lian.
The list kept by Jia's family was not handed over to Jia Amnesty, but kept in Shi Taijun's hands.As for the share of the Zhou family, the Zhou family is now sent out to serve as officials, and there are only a few housekeepers left in the old house, who can be the master, and Jia Amnesty can't get it.As for the one in Shuntian Mansion, it happened seven or eight years ago, and it was said that it was saved, but who knows if it still exists.
Without a list, it would be a joke for Jia Amnesty to say that he wanted to count the dowry, and he couldn't follow the first list of dowry.Thinking about it, it was also because of this that Shi Taijun felt that Jia Amnesty could not cause any big disturbances, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the mouth of the precious Jinsun.
But what Shi Taijun didn't know was that Jia Daishan secretly left a copy of the list for Jia She, and only gave it to him when he was dying.Those lists were drawn and bet by the heads of the two families, and they must not be faked.
Jia Daishan did this because he knew his wife's temperament too well, and he was afraid that she would be confused in the future, making Jia's family look bad in front of his in-laws, and he would have no face to meet his old friends underground.
In his previous life, although Jia Amnesty knew about this, the list was gone before he could make an idea of Zhou's dowry.This time he did not give up and searched again. Fortunately, the list was still there at this time, which saved a lot of trouble.
In the early morning of this day, Jia Amnesty still took his son for jogging, riding horses, boxing, and then the two had breakfast together.While digesting food, Lin Zhixiao came, and Jia Amnesty asked him, "The old lady and the others are still busy? How is Baoyu?"
"Yes, the lights in Rongqingtang have been on all night. I heard that the second master Bao is sick, and the old lady, the second master, and the second wife are all guarding. According to the kitchen, the dinner in Rongqingtang was not moved last night. , I haven’t called breakfast yet this morning.”
Just be busy!They are busy with their work, and I am busy with my work. They all have work to do, and they don't interfere with each other. How wonderful!
Grand Master She laughed, thinking that they were all poor.In fact, it's just a stone, if you can stuff it in, you can take it out naturally, if you move quickly and ruthlessly, it will only hurt a little.They didn't want Baoyu to suffer a little bit of punishment, they didn't know it was just making him suffer even more.
However, after what happened this time, if anyone dares to say that Jia Baoyu was born from Hanyu, with great blessings in his life, no one can compare to these words, don't blame the master for slapping him in the face.
"It's been getting hotter and hotter recently, and I've been hungry for two meals to clear the fire." Jia She said with a sneer, and then asked again: "Has everyone been invited?"
"Here you are. Uncle Zhen next door and several clan elders are serving tea in the flower hall, and we have invited several masters from our shop, all of whom are sharp-eyed." Lin Zhixiao still handled things very properly. It was not easy to invite these people together early on.
"Okay, then let's go." Jia She pulled Jia Lian out and said, "Lian'er, let's go and count your mother's dowry. It's what she left for you. Son, remember, your own Things, even if you throw them away and ruin them, you can’t take advantage of others. Because some people not only don’t know how to be grateful, but take it for granted, and if she takes less, they will still hate you for being stingy.”
"Yes." Jia Lian is now 11 years old, and he has not yet the true character of a prodigal family in the future, but when he heard about the private house his mother left him, his two bright peach blossom eyes also widened.Don't look at him as a young master, but he is a young master struggling on the line of food and clothing.
Unlike Jia Zhu, Yuan Chun and others, he does not live well.Without the subsidy from my grandma and mother, one month is just a few months of silver, and sometimes it is not enough to even reward servants.
"You send 100 taels of silver to Lian'er tomorrow, and you will only give him a penny every month. As long as it doesn't exceed 100 taels, you won't use it back to me." Seeing him like this, Jia She felt pity and regret in his heart, and followed in a low voice. Lin Zhixiao ordered.
Lian'er of his own family is the legitimate heir of the family, not to mention comparing with Jia Baoyu, his life is worse than Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun's brothers and sisters.It's all because he, the father, didn't fulfill his responsibility!Fortunately, it's not too late now, and he still has a chance to make amends.
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help but looked up in surprise, only to find that the Elder Master didn't look at him, but lowered his head to talk to the Young Master.He thought about it in his heart, what does the master mean by this?Do you really trust him, or are you testing him?
If it is less than 100 taels, there is no need to return it. The loophole in this statement is not small.If the young master can't spend the money every month, wouldn't he be able to swallow the rest himself, as long as it doesn't exceed 100 taels. 100 taels of silver is a lot, and even the old lady's monthly bill in the mansion is only 20 taels.
He couldn't figure out what Jia Amnesty meant, but he was vigilant in his heart.Just take it as a test, and you must make the accounts clear, lest you can't explain clearly when you get it.
In fact, Lin Zhixiao really thought too much.Just because of Mr. Xi's heartless temperament, he just felt sorry for his son, so he eagerly wanted to make up for it, and never thought about those twists and turns.Moreover, he felt that the character of Lin Zhixiao and his wife had passed the test of time, and he had never thought of testing anything.
Jia Zhen was quite puzzled that people from Rongfu came to invite her early in the morning.It was only after he came back yesterday that he heard that Jia Amnesty had copied everyone Lai, and he had indeed confiscated a lot of property.He also wondered to himself, if he copied Lai Sheng's house too, maybe he could make a small fortune.In the end, before he could do anything, Jia Amnesty sent someone to invite him.
"Uncle She, what's the reason for calling us here in such a hurry?" Jia Zhen is only 26 at this time, and she doesn't look like she will be full of fat and old in the future.Moreover, his face is full of sternness, and it is not at all obvious that he is capable of doing things such as crawling and graying.
"It's nothing serious, let's talk as we go." Jia She led his people out and said, "I think you've heard that I copied the Lai family's house. I was just bumped into by him and just got angry for a while. But I didn't expect that slave is really not a good person, and copied some of your former aunt's dowry from his house, are you angry?"
dowry?Jia Zhen rolled her eyes and probably understood what Jia Amnesty was going to do.Back then, because of this incident, the Rong Mansion and the Zhou family had a very unpleasant quarrel. In the end, no one could trust the other, so they had to seal up the matter.Jia She said that he was a slave, but in fact, he was probably targeting the old lady and the second wife more.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen wanted to retreat, he was not far involved in this matter.But Jia She had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed his wrist and said, "Please bring the clan elders here, just to be a witness. We don't need to alarm the government about our own affairs."
"This... what Uncle She said is true." Jia Zhen had a bitter face, it was really hard for outsiders to know about this matter.If there were gossip about mother-in-law being greedy for Mo's daughter-in-law, and younger siblings being greedy for Mo's sister-in-law's dowry, the Jia family would lose all face.From this point of view, Jia Zhen has not yet fallen into a shameless situation.
"Elder Master, Master Zhen, Second Master Lian, I wish you well, and the gentlemen." Wu Xindeng is Ku
How to deal with it?Lai Da wanted to say that it would be best if this had never happened.But thinking about it, it would not be such a good thing. Stealing the imperial gift, the defendant is dead, and it is even more dead to deal with it according to family law, but he doesn't want to die.Get up and kneel properly, and slammed your head on the ground, "My lord, I'm a slave, please handle it as you like. I just ask you, for the sake of my parents, leave a root for the Lai family."
It wasn't his idea of pleading guilty, begging for mercy, putting him to death and reviving after beating.People can live well, who the hell is willing to die?It's also because he was too careless in the past, and this time he was too caught off guard, so it's not wrong to fall into it.If you can escape today, let's wait and see him in the future!
"Look at you, what do you say that you can't die? Is the master the kind of master who can't forgive others?" Master Xi didn't hide his hypocrisy at all, "Just now, I also told Mrs. Lai that you Although the crime deserves death, my lord, I am a benevolent man, how could I take someone's life at will. Don't worry, your old Lai's family can't get rid of the root."
"Lin Zhixiao, the master gave Lai Da and his wife fifty boards. You go and watch them beat them, but don't beat them hard. If you beat them hard, you have to support them. How much work will be lost." From the beginning, Jia Amnesty had no intention of taking the family's life, as being alive would be torture.Think about it, what a relief it would be to be beaten back to your original form after getting used to serving slaves and maidservants, wearing gold and silver.
When they finish their work, send them all to Zhuangzi, so that people can watch them reform through labor.He drew a lot of strong labor from Zhuangzi, so he naturally had to make up for it.Although the members of the Lai family don't seem to be able to work, Mr. She believes that the cruel reality will teach them everything.
As for selling it out, Jia Amnesty never thought about it.This kind of family-born slaves, their ancestors were all servants in the house, who knows that they all know the privacy of the master's house, it's better to control it in their own hands.
"My lord, those members of the Wang family are lucky to be outside." You don't mean to forget them, do you?Seeing that Jia Amnesty wanted to finish the job, Lin Zhixiao quickly reminded him.On the way back, he had already settled the money, and he hasn't been able to keep his mouth shut since then.Not to mention those things on the list, just the house deed, land deed, bank notes and cash, they can divide this amount, this amount!
Even if several people share it equally, one person can share two or three hundred taels of silver, which is enough to set up a small village.However, Lin Zhixiao also admires Lai Da, this is how bold a person is and how much wealth his family has.Thinking of his grandfather and father, they have also been housekeepers all their lives, but compared with the Lai family who has only been a housekeeper for more than ten years, their own family property is not even comparable to other people's fractions.How can you not say a word of convincing!
"Hmph, all of them will be beaten and sent to the Zhuangzi. You told the Zhuangtou to 'entertain' them well for me. When the master thinks of going to see them, if they live too well, hehe... …Then no one should think about it.” As for that family, Jia Amnesty didn’t even want to ask, and when he saw them, he remembered what the little girl had suffered, and threw them all to Zhuangzi’s reformation area.
He turned his head and saw his son Jia Lian sitting upright, and suddenly remembered something.Self-confidently patted his son on the shoulder kindly, pardoned the elder and said: "Come here, Xia He, the master has something to tell you, it's a good thing." As soon as Xia He came over, he whispered in his ear non-stop , During this period, there were two sinister laughs from time to time.
Jia Xiaolian felt goosebumps from his father's "kind" smile, this style really didn't match his father's image, it didn't make him feel kind, but it felt very convulsive.What's more, if you listen to his laughter, you will hear that the weasel has stolen the chicken, and you don't know what bad idea it has.Looking at Xia He's face, his chin almost fell off.
"Master, this...is this okay? In case...in case of hurting him, the servant can't afford it." Xia He didn't expect the master to say this, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.After all, that master is very delicate and precious, if something goes wrong, the master may be fine, but her fate must be involved.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here for everything. You just do it. If you do well, the master will naturally reward you." Jia Shehun waved his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, but Is there someone you like? When your wife handed you over to the master, I will naturally end up with you. If someone chooses, just say, the master will back up a big dowry for you, so that you can get married in a good way."
Jia She asked Xia He to do this matter because this girl was trained by the Zhou family herself, and she is really a good hand in the house fight.Today's ability to stuff those rouge hairpins into Zhou Zhou rituals shows her skill.If it weren't for her low background, Xia He would actually be very suitable for life in a deep house, but it's a pity that she left too early in her previous life.
Xia He couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and his heart was full of surprises.She has been serving the master for several years, and a while ago, she heard that the master wanted to take her into the house. In fact, she has nothing to do with it.The left and right masters are just good-looking, but have no bad habits.However, she is not willing to be a concubine if she can be a good lady.Could it be that the master was joking with her in the past?
"Master... this servant will live up to his trust." In order to get married, Xia He decided to fight.
======
Shi Taijun stared coldly at Nanny Lai who was crying and begging on the ground, frowned and pressed the forehead, Yuan Chun immediately stepped forward to help her massage with medicated oil.She really didn't expect that Lai's family would make such a big mistake for her. This slave really has a big heart.Thinking about his swear words just now, Shi Taijun only felt his face was hot, and no one slapped him in pain.
She suddenly thought of the smile Jia She had given her when she left just now.At that time, she could lie to herself that it was to please her, but now she can be sure that that evil person is clearly trying to make fun of her.Hmph, she really didn't grow up beside her!At this moment, Shi Taijun hated the Lai family and others who made her lose face, but what she hated even more was her own son, Jia She.
The old lady felt that this is not a son, but a debt collector.He clearly knew how big a mistake the Lai family had made, but he just didn't tell her, watching her embarrass herself and lose face here.I don't know how to be considerate of her as a mother. If I don't mention it, I may be thinking about her jokes in my heart.Such an unfilial son... such an unfilial son should be kicked out of the house.
Mrs. Wang's feet have been bandaged, and she is still sitting in the upper room, listening to Nanny Lai's voice, all kinds of thoughts in her heart are boiling.
The Lai family is the old man's right-hand man. Even though she has been the housekeeper these years, she has not been able to pry Lai freshman or two, and it always makes her unable to do as she pleases.At this time, she was naturally happy to see this family being unlucky.Lai Da collapsed, and Zhou Rui and his wife just happened to come to the top, which was exactly what she wanted.
But as long as she thinks that this family has stolen so much money and things from her, Mrs. Wang will grit her teeth with hatred.She has long regarded Rongguo Mansion as the second room's private property, and the Lai family's greed for things in the mansion is no different from cutting her flesh.
However, what she is more concerned about now is, where are the copied things?The things belonged to the entire Rongguo Mansion, so what if Jia She wanted to swallow them himself? !As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't even care about the injury on her feet, she wished she could grab those things back immediately.
"Mother Lai, don't cry. Now that this matter has already happened, there must be a regulation. Although the elder is a bit reckless, it is your fault first. We haven't seen those people yet. There is no way to tell which rule to follow when the evidence is confiscated. Old lady, why not...bring over the evidence first, and let's take a look at it?"
Shi Taijun nodded when he heard the words, the words of the second daughter-in-law deeply touched her heart.Mammy Lai's family is over, and she has to choose another confidant to replace her, but there is no rush.The most urgent thing at the moment is to get back the Lai family's things, no matter what, we can't take advantage of that evil.
She was about to give orders when Yuanyang came in to report, "Old lady, sister Xia He who is next to the old man is here."
"Let her in." She wants to see what this evil person has to say.
"My servant greets the old lady and the second lady." Xia He greeted the two of them generously, and then replied with a smile: "Old lady, the elder ordered the servant to go back and forth to blame the housekeeper. The elder said, our family is not That family who takes human life at every turn, but the death penalty can be avoided, the Lai family has been dealt with, please rest assured."
"What..." Nanny Lai was startled suddenly, she didn't expect the old man to do it so quickly, without even asking the old lady.In the past, the elder would not say that he would obey the old lady, but he would not be so arbitrary.
"How did you deal with it? Why did you dare to decide at will without making a back and forth? Lai Da's matter can be big or small, how can the boss be so rash?" Shi Taijun was very unhappy, with a gloomy face.Today, her authority has been seriously challenged by Jia She, which she cannot tolerate.She thought that as long as she was alive, this Rongguo Mansion should be her voice.
Xia He didn't dare to hide it, and there was no need to hide it, he said: "Because the butler Lai secretly coveted two pieces of gifts from the mansion, and six pieces of dowry from the first wife, the elder has ordered someone to beat Lai and his wife , and then sent his family to Zhuangzi.”
Speaking of this, she glanced at Nanny Lai, "Besides, the old man said that Nanny Lai and a boy from the Lai family have lost their slave status, so they are not counted as servants in the house, so his grandparents and grandchildren are not considered servants of the family." This is not counted. The Elder Master also said that Nanny Lai doesn’t have to go to thank you.”
After hearing this, Nanny Lai felt at ease, as long as she could survive, she would be able to say anything.Besides, if Rong'er survived, the Lai family still had hope of turning around.At this moment, Mammy Lai was really grateful to Jia Amnesty, and this result was considered easy.
Shi Taijun felt his head ache even more, and asked wearily: "Go back and tell the boss that this is not okay. Let him send the evidence over as soon as possible, and I will handle this matter myself. Hmph, I have been too charitable all these years All silverfish crawled out."
Hearing this, Nanny Lai had a bitter look on her face.She knew very well that this was a fight between mother and son, but they just used their family as a weapon.Alas, if the old lady persists, she may have to pay for her life.
"The evidence has been brought, look, old lady." Xia He called out, and two little maids outside brought in a box, and she took out the two imperial gifts from it, "This is the case copied from the Lai family. It came out. The other dowries were given to Young Master Lian by Elder Master."
"Sure enough, it was something bestowed by the Taizu." Shi Taijun took a closer look, and then recognized the thing. He couldn't help but gouged Lai Mammy hard, and then asked: "What else?"
"It's gone." Xia He looked over in surprise, "That's it. The old man said that there are only three people left in the house next to him. Because it is under the name of Lai Shangrong, the old man reads that he will be served by Nanny Lai." For the sake of the old lady for many years, she has not taken it back."
"Let... loose!" Shi Taijun was immediately furious when she heard that, just now she had heard Nanny Lai say how much money and items were copied, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry.But now that villain dared to send her away with two immovable imperial gifts, and dared to covet so much money and things, he couldn't be greedy anymore.
Xia He knelt down as soon as she bent her knees, begging for mercy in a hurry: "Old lady, please calm down, this servant really doesn't know anything else, that's what the Elder Master ordered this servant to do. Old lady, this servant really doesn't know anything..."
"Ah, that's right! The Elder Master has something else to do. He wants the slaves to report to the old lady. The Elder Master said that when the Eldest Wife left, the dowry was sealed in the public treasury. Today, it is discovered that the Lai family stole the old lady. The elder is a little worried about the wife's dowry, and I will open the warehouse for inventory tomorrow." Before Shi Taijun and others could react, Xia He dropped another bomb.
This time, not only Shi Taijun, but even Mrs. Wang's expression changed.Jia She was originally married to the Zhou family, and she was also from a family of honorable generals, but in her brother's generation, she is already capable of both civil and military skills.When Mrs. Zhou got married back then, as the only daughter-in-law, she accompanied her with a total of 120 sets of dowry, which was truly a red dowry.To say that Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang are not jealous, heh...
When Mrs. Zhou left, the Zhou family had come to count her dowry. At that time, there was a list of what was left for Jia Lian. There is nothing to say about it.But Jia Lian was too young at that time, so he put all his brains into the public treasury.As for the shops and Zhuangzi that need to be managed, Shi Taijun originally volunteered, but the Zhou family did not agree, which made her very annoyed.Of course, what was even more annoying was that Jia Amnesty didn't turn to her either.
Over the years, Shi and Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been moving around like ants, and some valuables have entered their private treasury early.Originally thought that Jia She and his son were easy to fool, so they just messed around in the future.But Jia Amnesty suddenly wanted to take stock of Zhou's dowry, wouldn't that just add to the chaos!
"Hmph, don't you think this house is not chaotic enough? You go, call me the boss, I..."
Shi Taijun was talking, when suddenly he saw a person with disheveled hair rushing in, shouting while running: "Old lady, madam...Second Master Bao, Second Master is not good..."
The Tenth Chapter of Palace Affairs The Empress Dowager Is Confident in Hanyu's Birth
In the Forbidden City, in the Daming Palace, a graceful woman who appeared to be in her early forties was playing with a pot of flowers and plants. This was the current Empress Dowager.
Maybe it was because the potted flower was not very satisfactory to her, and the queen mother put it aside after a while.After cleaning her hands under the service of the palace servants, she sat on the phoenix couch and sipped tea, looking at the door from time to time.
"Didn't the message pass? Why hasn't the emperor come yet?" The queen mother put the cup on the table a little unhappy, but was accidentally scalded by the lukewarm tea, and simply swept the cup down.
Seeing many palace people kneeling down to plead guilty, she also felt irritated, and waved her hands to make them retreat.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if you are angry, you can't ignore your body. Look at your hands are red." Nanny Gong is the Empress Dowager's confidant, and she has served the Empress Dowager since she was a child, so her words were somewhat casual.
While ordering someone to bring the ointment, she persuaded: "I think there are many things in the previous court, and the emperor hasn't freed up yet. Are you hungry, and this servant will bring you a bowl of bird's nest?"
"Okay, there's no need for you to speak good words for him, I don't know him yet." The empress dowager was probably dissatisfied with her emperor's son, and her words were quite mean: "Since he felt that the dragon chair under his buttocks was sitting firmly Oh, why did you ever come to me on call? Alas, after becoming the empress dowager, I can’t even speak to my son, this is really..."
This is not very polite, the Queen Mother dared to say it, but Nanny Gong didn't dare to take it down, so she could only persuade her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Emperor is also filial, so I'll bring you all the good things first. Let's talk , you still have His Royal Highness Seventeen, His Highness Seventeen is so filial to you, and yesterday he specially bought your favorite cakes from outside the palace."
As soon as she heard her beloved young son, the Queen Mother really smiled, but then her face became gloomy again, and she said angrily: "I know that Tao'er is a filial son. I came to the emperor today not because of Tao'er. Seeing Zhuo Taoer is only fifteen, I heard that the emperor only intends to give him a county king, how can this work?"
"My Tao'er is the youngest son of the first emperor, the younger brother of the emperor. I feel that I have treated him badly by making him a prince. The emperor even planned to use a county king to send his younger brother away. Do you know what filial piety is?"
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the Queen Mother became more disorganized when she spoke, "He doesn't even think about it. If he hadn't been born in my stomach, he would have been able to get him in the dragon chair? If I had known that he was like this, I shouldn't have Seeing that Tao'er is still young, life and death have delayed my Tao'er."
I don't know where the Queen Mother got her confidence, she felt that she could choose between her two sons for the throne.When the first emperor passed away, her beloved young son was not yet full moon. He was the emperor?Is it true that all the dozen or so sons of the late emperor died!
Not only did Nanny Gong not dare to answer the words at this moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and she was sweating layer after layer.She had been serving the queen mother since she had never entered the palace, and she knew what kind of temperament her master was, and she had been open-minded since she was a child.
But in the past few years, His Royal Highness Seventeen has grown bigger and bigger, and the master has lost all scruples, and he really dares to say anything.She is the emperor's own mother, so if she said it, she would complain at most, but how could they let those who heard it live.
But she didn't dare to interrupt the queen mother, otherwise the queen mother would definitely get worse.Nanny Gong didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if the emperor heard all these words.
The queen mother may not know, but she does know that the two generations of emperors had no friendship with their master. If the emperor hadn't dissuaded him, the late emperor would have buried his master.
As for the current emperor, I'm afraid he just cared about the fact that his master is a human being, so he enshrined his master in the Palace of Compassion and Ning as a display.After all, the emperor was taken away by the first emperor to raise him himself at the age of three, and it was hard to say whether he remembered his mother at that time.
"You go in person, and when you see the emperor, tell me that I'm waiting for him to have dinner. If he doesn't come, I, a mother, won't even be able to eat." The queen mother finally rejoiced, seeing that the emperor hadn't come yet, she said angrily commanded.
When Nanny Gong found her, Yu Wenxi had just returned to Qianqing Palace from the secret path, changed into a new attire, and was sitting and correcting memorials, when a young eunuch came to report the letter.
Yu Wenxi sat without moving, circled the cinnabar with the imperial brush in his hand, and it took a long time to reply, "The government is busy today, and I don't have time."
The little eunuch came out in a low voice, and told Nanny Gong what he said.Nanny Gong couldn't help it, so she could only complain secretly in her heart, and went back to find a way to appease the Queen Mother.
Since ascension to the throne, under Yu Wenxi's subtle influence, the courtiers' memorials have become more concise and concise. There are not many things today, but they have been dealt with clearly in half an hour.Yu Wenxi looked at the time and ordered someone to set the meal, and picked up the secret report that had just arrived in his hand to read.
The conversation between the master and the servant in the Daming Palace just now has been recorded impressively.Yu Wenxi had already read too much, so he just flipped through it casually and put it aside, and instead picked up the one about Rongguo Mansion.Looking at it, the serious face became more and more relaxed, and finally he laughed.
The great eunuch Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew how bad the queen mother was when he was serving the emperor.Although the emperor didn't care about her in the past, he would always feel depressed for a while.This time is very good, I don't know what news can please His Majesty so much, I must collect more in the future.
"This Marquis Jia En is really interesting." Yu Wenxi shook his head with a smile, and ordered: "If there is anything new in the Rongguo Mansion in the future, remember to report it to me in time."
Li Qing quickly answered, took a closer look at the secret report handed over by the emperor, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.General Jia, that's enough, what's the point of being angry with a suckling baby?
So, what happened to Rongguo Mansion?But when Shi Taijun was about to reprimand Jia She, someone rushed in crying...
"Old lady, old lady... something happened, it's not good..." The man rushed to Shi Taijun as soon as he came in, knelt at her feet, hugged her leg and cried.
Shi Taijun was already flustered because of the daughter-in-law's dowry, but suddenly a person rushed up, and he was so scared that he didn't faint.When she finally calmed down and was about to scold her, she recognized Baoyu's nurse, Mrs. Li.Seeing how anxious she was, something must have happened to her Baoyu, and she couldn't care less now, so she was in a hurry to ask questions.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with my Baoyu? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Wang reacted much faster than her when it was about Baoyu. 'feet.
Mother Li was startled, frightened and worried, and murmured with a pale face: "Jade, jade, Baoyu's jade... I can't get the jade out!" After finally saying these words, she immediately burst into tears.
She also came from grief, thinking of her own end in Baoyu's accident, she couldn't speak in panic.She was Baoyu's nurse, and if something happened to Baoyu, the masters would look for her first.At that time, not only will she survive, but the whole family will be finished.
"What's wrong with the jade? What do you mean it can't be taken out?" Shi Taijun asked in a voice.That piece of psychic jade is a treasure. In her eyes, the precious jade is mostly because of this piece of jade.
Mrs. Wang also found it strange, and hurriedly asked questions from the side.She was very anxious, but Mammy Li was so worried and scared, she couldn't explain why, she couldn't help being furious, "Come here, drag this thief woman out for me to beat."
After all, Mrs. Wang didn't care about her mother-in-law anymore, and ran to Baoyu's house crying all the way, "My Baoyu—" She knew that the old man was not good at raising children, look, she is a good child Something happened to her, didn't it?
How long has it been since no one called the shots in her yard?Shi Taijun was so choked by Mrs. Wang that even Jinsun almost forgot.She paused severely on the crutch in her hand, and shouted in a cold voice: "First lock all the servants in Baoyu's house into the firewood room, and don't give me a single grain of water or rice."
At this time, Jia Baoyu was kept in the green cupboard in Shi Taijun's inner room. When Shi Taijun arrived, Mrs. Wang was holding Baoyu who was crying loudly, and she put her hand on Baoyu's mouth and fiddled with something.Shi Taijun hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, why is Baoyu crying all the time? Have you called a doctor yet?"
After seeing clearly what happened to her son, Mrs. Wang almost regretted it to death.She just wanted to use a piece of jade to raise Baoyu's identity, but she didn't expect that it would be revealed one day.At this moment, she looked down at her son and up at Shi Taijun, all she could do was cry.
At the beginning, when she was pregnant with Baoyu, she met a monk when she went out to offer incense. The two talked nonsense to her, and they wanted to send her unborn son to become a monk. What could she do?At that time, she ordered people to beat the two of them away, but the monk and Taoist disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when she regained her senses, she already had a piece of beautiful jade in her hand.
She never told anyone about this, and she took out the jade when Baoyu was born, and lied that it was taken from Baoyu's mouth.But now who can tell her that Baoyu really stuffed the jade in his mouth, what should I do if I can't get it out?
Shi Taijun was also in a hurry, and couldn't wait for Mrs. Wang to reply, so he snatched Baoyu who was crying non-stop to check carefully.Only then did she discover that Baoyu's psychic jade, which was supposed to be on the gold collar, was somehow held in his mouth again.There is an extra stone in his mouth, and he can't swallow it or spit it out. How can he feel comfortable? This child can't stop crying.
She carefully tried to take the jade out, and made several gestures with her fingers, but all failed.Only then did Shi Taijun panic, and hurriedly ordered someone to come for the tweezers, but it still didn't work.After so many fiddlings, Baoyu cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, sobbing feebly.
Thinking about it, if it could be taken out easily, Nanny Li wouldn't be able to go to the room and cry, she would have suppressed this matter long ago.Shi Taijun also understood at this time, and gave Wang a hard look, but he felt sorry for his little grandson, and ordered people to call the imperial physician immediately.
As soon as Xia He saw Nanny Li rushing in, she knew it was over.She couldn't help praying secretly in her heart, Second Master Bao, don't be cruel, who told you that you were born with jade, it's not a big deal if you think about it again.
As soon as something happened to the old lady's lifeblood, the entire roommate ran to show their courtesies, so who cares about her.Xia He got up from the ground and straightened her dress, Shi Shi ran out of Rongqing Hall.
When she went back to report to the Elder, Jia Amnesty would be happy.He said that he had also seen that piece of jade, and that boss didn't look like he could hold a baby in his mouth.Now look at it, even the one-year-old Baoyu was stuffed in and couldn't be taken out, let alone when he just fell into the grass.
Hmph, this man-made great blessing, I don't know how long it will last.

Speaking of taking stock of the dowry, Mr. She naturally didn't just talk about it casually, and made a lot of preparations.One is to ask for the list when it was sealed up in the past, and the other is to invite witnesses, and the third is to prevent people from confusing the real.
The witnesses are easy to say, just go and invite Jia Zhen and a few elders of the clan; Zhou's companion was still there back then, and then invite a few knowledgeable people from the shop, and they can see through the fake ones; the only thing that can make Jia She embarrassed is That list from back then.
When Zhou died, her dowry was counted and sealed by the Jia and Zhou families.A detailed list was left behind, and the two patriarchs personally signed and pledged it as a proof of sealing.The two families also agreed that when Jia Lian was 15 years old, they would marry Zhou's dowry to him.
In order to prevent entanglement in the future, the list was made in triplicate at that time, one copy was kept by Jia's family and Zhou's family, and the other was sent to Shuntian Mansion for archiving.This was specifically requested by the Zhou family. It was clear that they didn't trust the Jia family, and they had already slapped the Jia family in the face. Shi Taijun was quite angry.
Originally, when the daughter-in-law passed away, the dowry should be handed over to her, the mistress of the house, for safekeeping. How could she treat her grandson badly?But the Zhou family wanted to make a mess, sealing it up and imposing it, making it seem like she would be greedy for her daughter-in-law's dowry.
However, Jia Daishan nodded, no matter how reluctant Shi Taijun was, he could only pinch his nose to admit it.It's just that from then on, he didn't like to see the Zhou family members more and more, and he only had face and affection for Jia Lian.
The list kept by Jia's family was not handed over to Jia Amnesty, but kept in Shi Taijun's hands.As for the share of the Zhou family, the Zhou family is now sent out to serve as officials, and there are only a few housekeepers left in the old house, who can be the master, and Jia Amnesty can't get it.As for the one in Shuntian Mansion, it happened seven or eight years ago, and it was said that it was saved, but who knows if it still exists.
Without a list, it would be a joke for Jia Amnesty to say that he wanted to count the dowry, and he couldn't follow the first list of dowry.Thinking about it, it was also because of this that Shi Taijun felt that Jia Amnesty could not cause any big disturbances, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the mouth of the precious Jinsun.
But what Shi Taijun didn't know was that Jia Daishan secretly left a copy of the list for Jia She, and only gave it to him when he was dying.Those lists were drawn and bet by the heads of the two families, and they must not be faked.
Jia Daishan did this because he knew his wife's temperament too well, and he was afraid that she would be confused in the future, making Jia's family look bad in front of his in-laws, and he would have no face to meet his old friends underground.
In his previous life, although Jia Amnesty knew about this, the list was gone before he could make an idea of Zhou's dowry.This time he did not give up and searched again. Fortunately, the list was still there at this time, which saved a lot of trouble.
In the early morning of this day, Jia Amnesty still took his son for jogging, riding horses, boxing, and then the two had breakfast together.While digesting food, Lin Zhixiao came, and Jia Amnesty asked him, "The old lady and the others are still busy? How is Baoyu?"
"Yes, the lights in Rongqingtang have been on all night. I heard that the second master Bao is sick, and the old lady, the second master, and the second wife are all guarding. According to the kitchen, the dinner in Rongqingtang was not moved last night. , I haven’t called breakfast yet this morning.”
Just be busy!They are busy with their work, and I am busy with my work. They all have work to do, and they don't interfere with each other. How wonderful!
Grand Master She laughed, thinking that they were all poor.In fact, it's just a stone, if you can stuff it in, you can take it out naturally, if you move quickly and ruthlessly, it will only hurt a little.They didn't want Baoyu to suffer a little bit of punishment, they didn't know it was just making him suffer even more.
However, after what happened this time, if anyone dares to say that Jia Baoyu was born from Hanyu, with great blessings in his life, no one can compare to these words, don't blame the master for slapping him in the face.
"It's been getting hotter and hotter recently, and I've been hungry for two meals to clear the fire." Jia She said with a sneer, and then asked again: "Has everyone been invited?"
"Here you are. Uncle Zhen next door and several clan elders are serving tea in the flower hall, and we have invited several masters from our shop, all of whom are sharp-eyed." Lin Zhixiao still handled things very properly. It was not easy to invite these people together early on.
"Okay, then let's go." Jia She pulled Jia Lian out and said, "Lian'er, let's go and count your mother's dowry. It's what she left for you. Son, remember, your own Things, even if you throw them away and ruin them, you can’t take advantage of others. Because some people not only don’t know how to be grateful, but take it for granted, and if she takes less, they will still hate you for being stingy.”
"Yes." Jia Lian is now 11 years old, and he has not yet the true character of a prodigal family in the future, but when he heard about the private house his mother left him, his two bright peach blossom eyes also widened.Don't look at him as a young master, but he is a young master struggling on the line of food and clothing.
Unlike Jia Zhu, Yuan Chun and others, he does not live well.Without the subsidy from my grandma and mother, one month is just a few months of silver, and sometimes it is not enough to even reward servants.
"You send 100 taels of silver to Lian'er tomorrow, and you will only give him a penny every month. As long as it doesn't exceed 100 taels, you won't use it back to me." Seeing him like this, Jia She felt pity and regret in his heart, and followed in a low voice. Lin Zhixiao ordered.
Lian'er of his own family is the legitimate heir of the family, not to mention comparing with Jia Baoyu, his life is worse than Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun's brothers and sisters.It's all because he, the father, didn't fulfill his responsibility!Fortunately, it's not too late now, and he still has a chance to make amends.
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help but looked up in surprise, only to find that the Elder Master didn't look at him, but lowered his head to talk to the Young Master.He thought about it in his heart, what does the master mean by this?Do you really trust him, or are you testing him?
If it is less than 100 taels, there is no need to return it. The loophole in this statement is not small.If the young master can't spend the money every month, wouldn't he be able to swallow the rest himself, as long as it doesn't exceed 100 taels. 100 taels of silver is a lot, and even the old lady's monthly bill in the mansion is only 20 taels.
He couldn't figure out what Jia Amnesty meant, but he was vigilant in his heart.Just take it as a test, and you must make the accounts clear, lest you can't explain clearly when you get it.
In fact, Lin Zhixiao really thought too much.Just because of Mr. Xi's heartless temperament, he just felt sorry for his son, so he eagerly wanted to make up for it, and never thought about those twists and turns.Moreover, he felt that the character of Lin Zhixiao and his wife had passed the test of time, and he had never thought of testing anything.
Jia Zhen was quite puzzled that people from Rongfu came to invite her early in the morning.It was only after he came back yesterday that he heard that Jia Amnesty had copied everyone Lai, and he had indeed confiscated a lot of property.He also wondered to himself, if he copied Lai Sheng's house too, maybe he could make a small fortune.In the end, before he could do anything, Jia Amnesty sent someone to invite him.
"Uncle She, what's the reason for calling us here in such a hurry?" Jia Zhen is only 26 at this time, and she doesn't look like she will be full of fat and old in the future.Moreover, his face is full of sternness, and it is not at all obvious that he is capable of doing things such as crawling and graying.
"It's nothing serious, let's talk as we go." Jia She led his people out and said, "I think you've heard that I copied the Lai family's house. I was just bumped into by him and just got angry for a while. But I didn't expect that slave is really not a good person, and copied some of your former aunt's dowry from his house, are you angry?"
dowry?Jia Zhen rolled her eyes and probably understood what Jia Amnesty was going to do.Back then, because of this incident, the Rong Mansion and the Zhou family had a very unpleasant quarrel. In the end, no one could trust the other, so they had to seal up the matter.Jia She said that he was a slave, but in fact, he was probably targeting the old lady and the second wife more.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen wanted to retreat, he was not far involved in this matter.But Jia She had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed his wrist and said, "Please bring the clan elders here, just to be a witness. We don't need to alarm the government about our own affairs."
"This... what Uncle She said is true." Jia Zhen had a bitter face, it was really hard for outsiders to know about this matter.If there were gossip about mother-in-law being greedy for Mo's daughter-in-law, and younger siblings being greedy for Mo's sister-in-law's dowry, the Jia family would lose all face.From this point of view, Jia Zhen has not yet fallen into a shameless situation.
"Elder Master, Master Zhen, Second Master Lian, I wish you well, and the gentlemen." Wu Xindeng is Ku
