Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Jia Lu refused, "Brother, what have I done, I still need him to take care of me!"

Jia Zhen scolded, "Aren't you clear yet? Well, there's been such a mess, and everyone in the capital is saying that the Jiang family has married a powerful wife, and they will turn the whole family upside down!"

"If I'm not good enough, I'm going to be eaten alive by that little He!"

Seeing that she still dared to refute, Jia Zhen widened her eyes and said, "You still talk! Can you call Xiao He?"

Jiang Zining hurriedly stopped her, and helped Jia Lu speak, saying, "Brother, what you said is wrong, it should be Zining who apologizes."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the hot tea and said to Jia Zhen and Zhang Shi, "We are all from our own family. You know my situation without mentioning it. The old Hou Ye doesn't like me, and Aunt He sees me as a thorn in the flesh. If it wasn't for me, Alu wouldn't have gained such a reputation, here, I replace wine with tea, first say sorry!"

Jia Zhen hurriedly picked up her teacup and drank it, then said, "Where is it, Sister Lu has a delicate temper and can't bear hardships. How can she be like a Marquis?"

One is the elder brother, the other is the husband, the two of them praised each other and demoted the other, and they had to humbly back and forth several times before they became happy.

Seeing that they were getting better, Mrs. Zhang didn't pay much attention to them, so she pulled Jia Lu and said, "The Jiang family is also an old brand of honor, and I haven't heard of any good income before. I saw that you kept sending people away. But the money in the family is not enough, otherwise it wouldn't be like this?"

"It's still my sister-in-law who knows my heart, isn't she? When Xiao He handed over the middle gift to me, there was only an empty shell left. She said that the empty shell was still good, and she still owed it. The monthly payment for two months, sister-in-law, you don't know, any servant's house is worth a thousand gold..."

Mrs. Zhang patted her hand and persuaded,

"I didn't know about this. When the old master was there, he also disposed of many slaves in the family. They were not all rich, but you just listen to your sister-in-law's persuasion, and now you can see what you copied. There are many, but it is also taken from your Jiang family. The wool comes from the sheep, and it is enough to relieve the urgent need for a while. You must not indulge in it. You also have to replenish your own people in time to calm people's hearts, otherwise people will panic But it is far better than the loss of money!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what you mean, even if you copy them all, it's just to restore the glory of the Jiang family when it was established in the past. Only the real open source can completely solve the problem."

"It's good that you understand." Zhang said with relief.

When the atmosphere was just right, someone outside suddenly rumored that it was Jinyitang Zhou Siguan who had arrived.

Jia Zhen said, "I have been keeping my filial piety for a long time, and I have never had any contact with that official surnamed Zhou. What is he doing here?"

The Jinyitang is an organization that complements the Jinwu Guard, but one is in the light and the other is in the dark. In comparison, the Jinyitang is a little more nervous.

Jia Rong said quickly, "No matter what it is, the master must go out to greet you."

What Jia Rong didn't see was that the hand under Jia Zhen's sleeve was trembling, and was suddenly held by someone. Looking back, Jiang Zining smiled and comforted,

"Brother, I have two points of friendship with Siguan Zhou, why don't I introduce one or two for my uncle."

Jiang Zining has some masculine and feminine looks, and in the eyes of Jia Zhen, who is a little vulgar, she has always been coveted to say something dirty, but at this moment, Jiang Zining is nothing more than a man.

If Jiang Zining knew that he was kind enough to comfort him, but in exchange for his thoughts, he would have to blow him to death.

While the two were talking, the family members at the top of the second gate came to report that Mr. Zhou had entered the second gate.

Jia Zhen hurriedly went up to meet her, and saw Siguan Zhou came in with a serious face. When she saw Jia Zhen and Jiang Zining, perhaps more Jiang Zining, her expression changed, and she forced a smile on her face, and said hello ,

"Master Jia is well, why is Lord Jiang Hou here?"

Jiang Zining cupped his hands and replied, "My wife has been busy with the affairs of the inner house, it's rare that I'm free today, so I'll bring her back."

Siguan Zhou said yes on the face, but in his heart he was scolding his mother, it's bad luck!

Jia Zhen was still thinking about something, and asked flatteringly, "I don't know why Master Zhou came here to give advice?"

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Siguan Zhou secretly said it's a pity, it's really a pity, if it wasn't for Lord Jiang Hou being here, at least he would be able to squeeze out a few thousand taels of extra money.

"The lower officials are here to announce the decree, please also invite Master Jia and all Jia's subordinates to come and receive the decree!"

Jia Zhen felt a little weak when she thought of her colleagues from the aristocratic family who had their homes ransacked last year. Thanks to Jiang Zining who supported her, she said,

"There are not many Jia family members, and there is no one else here. My lord, just proclaim the decree!" After speaking, he led Jia Zhen to kneel down, and Zhang Shi led Jia Rong, Shen Shi and Jia Lu to kneel behind.

Zhou Siguan stood on the top and said, "There is a decree, the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion has usurped, amnesty and correction, hereby!"

Jia Zhen raised her head abruptly, she was too nervous, and in the cold winter months, her forehead was covered with sweat.

"that's it?"

Siguan Zhou rolled his eyes, wondering what else to do,

"Lord Jia, you are just a hereditary third-rank general Wei Lie, but the memorial archway of a super-class duke hangs on the mansion. You can use as many utensils as you have in your house. The crime of usurpation, if it is not for the deceased Jia On the face of Gong Ende's generosity, do you think you can get by easily?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly explained,

"Lord Zhou, I don't mean that. When my father was alive, I planned to remove this plaque. I asked the adults from the Ministry of Rites to come over and change it. It's just that the old lady in the West Mansion is still there. She said that it was the former emperor's kindness, so we can keep it. The kid doesn't dare to take the initiative."

"My lord Jia doesn't need to talk about this with the lower officials. The lower officials only know that "heaven is respected and the earth is humble, and the monarch and his ministers say goodbye. It is appropriate for Du Jian to guard against cuteness and not overstep." "Master Jia should have changed it earlier, don't wait until it is in the same situation as your West Mansion, it will be too late!"

"Yes, yes, it must be changed!" Jia Zhen was immersed in the surviving Yu Qing, but she didn't hear anything else, but Jia Rong did, and hurriedly asked,

"Master Zhou said, what happened to our West Mansion? Why is it too late?"

Siguan Zhou coughed, and was about to stretch out his hand itchingly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Zining looking at him and pretending to be stroking his beard, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said,

"Your West Mansion also has the same name of usurping. In addition, there is a traffic official who bullies the weak. Therefore, the whole family is being dismissed and the family assets are being seized!"

Said it was happening, could it be this meeting, Jia Zhen wondered, "This is the meeting!"

Zhou Siguan nodded indiscriminately, and planned to leave. Jiang Zining was on the side of Ningguo Mansion, and he knew the inside story process, so he couldn't get any benefits if he asked for it. It's better to leave earlier and go to Rong Mansion to the west. , I heard that the son of their family just married a girl from the Xue family whose pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. The family is rich, and the most important thing is that there is no uncle like Jiang Zining around!

After thinking about it like this and telling him to change the system as soon as possible, he left in a hurry.
