From Zhang Rui's point of view, Mother Jia is a fighter in the house fight, and the remaining concubine daughters are the only kindness left by her.

Sometimes I'm lucky that I became Jia's mother after her husband passed away, so I don't have to refresh the lower limit by myself.

But she saves trouble, but some people always use their lower limit to challenge her limit. Just as Jia Min left, Zhang Rui hadn't finished eating, and the servant next to Jia She led a demon. A voluptuous woman enters.

"Old Madam, the Elder Master ordered me to bring someone over." The servant knelt down and said hello to the woman with his eyes.

"Slave Maier greets the old lady." The woman looked a little nervous, her gesture of greeting was not standard, but her every move was full of obsequiousness, just like her name.

Hearing that she called herself a slave, Zhang Rui asked the young man: "The man brought it here, what about the contract of sale?"

"Go back, go back to the old lady, no, there is no contract of sale."

"No?" Zhang Rui glanced at Meier again, she was lying there trembling, and asked her with a sigh of relief: "Did you sell yourself?"

Meier replied pitifully: "Yes, yes."

Zhang Rui is not a man, but looking at the girl's soft and charming eyes at this time, he can't help but feel a little pity, and it's not because Jia She can't help himself, but this is not a reason to let him go.

"Who gave it to the old man? My old lady has never seen such a gift-giver. The co-author is to borrow someone's family for use?" Her words were harsh, and she shouldn't compare individuals to things, but these men don't Is that how it is done?

"It's the son of an official who just came back from Yangzhou to report on his duties. The master also knew him from other young masters."

Zhang Rui has been here for more than three years, and he has a little bit of sensitivity. This is not asking for help, how could he climb up for no reason, but sometimes Jia She is really lawless and fearless, and dares to do anything. next.

"Has your master collected anything recently?"

The boy dared not answer.

Zhang Ruili shouted: "Say!"

"Yes, yes, a few days ago someone gave the master a fan, and before that there were some gold utensils, and, and..." The young man thought about it, but he really couldn't tell what was there.

The incomplete meaning is that he has collected a lot of things, Zhang Rui closed his eyes, opened them again, and said clearly word by word: "Go back and tell your master, after leaving the filial piety, you have collected everything from someone, and you will give everything to me." I made a list and sent it over, and he delivered it himself."

"Yes, the slave will go back and report to the Elder Master."

When the little servant retreated "rolling and crawling", Zhang Rui looked at Mei'er and said, "There are two choices, one, stay in my courtyard and be an ordinary maid, and in the future, she will comb her hair and be a nurse." Nanny is fine; these two, I can help you get out of citizenship when the deed of prostitution is obtained, and you can live your own life." While talking, he paid attention to Meier's reaction.

When Meier came over, she thought that she would not be killed, and her fate would not be any better, but she never expected that the old lady of this family is such a benevolent Bodhisattva. Serving at the old lady's side, it's just..."

"I hate petty people here, just say what you have to say."

"My servant was trained to serve men since I was a child. I don't know if I can serve my wife well..." She was a little apprehensive as she spoke, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

Zhang Rui really wants to roll her eyes, how she needs to be served, and how can she keep a person who suddenly doesn't know where she came from, the number of times she really wants to roll her eyes here has surpassed the previous few years.

"If you're going to stay with me, you'll be a cleaning maid at the beginning. You're sure to live a better life than you used to. After you think about it, if you change your mind in the future, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now."

Meier was a little hesitant, she had never done any hard work, and she was a little afraid that she would not be able to bear it, but let her go out, even if she was free, people like them, their bodies were ruined, so what good life would there be? How about it?

A servant girl is better than not knowing when to be bought and killed by her main wife, and to live a precarious life. When she figured it out, she nodded firmly, "Lady, my servant is willing."

That being the case, Zhang Rui asked Yuanyang to arrange for her to go in the maid's room, and when Yuanyang came back, he said to her: "Be careful, if you are not a law-abiding person, you will be kicked out."

"Yes, the servant girl will tell the little maidservant."

On the second day, Jia She packed up the things he found overnight and waited outside his mother's door early in the morning. He didn't dare to wake her up before she got up.

When Zhang Rui got up and saw him hanging out again, she asked Mother Jing to bring the list in Jia She's hand after eating, without even looking at Jia She and the box behind her.

Zhang Rui held the gift list and looked at it for a while without emotion, carefully looked at it from the beginning to the end, then threw it on the table casually, and said to Jia She, "Did you help others?"

Jia Amnesty replied vigilantly, "It's all a matter of little effort..."

"I'm very disappointed in you."

Jia She's eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembled, although his mother had always been not gentle towards him, but he never thought that he would hear such words from his mother, did his mother disappoint him...?

"You didn't grow up by my side. I'm not close to you, and I really like Zheng'er more. I admit that I am partial, but I will give you what I should give you. Are you right?" Strict, you can even say Rourou, "Have you been filial to me? Have you fulfilled your vocation as the heir of the Rongguo Mansion? You are not even as sensible as Hu'er Lian'er, and I didn't ask you to make meritorious deeds." , is it difficult just not to cause trouble?"

"Mother~ I'm not..." Jia Amnesty wanted to explain, he just agreed to some small things, and absolutely did not commit any crimes.

In fact, it is very easy to find out what Jia She has done. Zhang Rui asked people to ask outside and heard some of Jia She's things. To the point of causing trouble, but what about the future?

If you are so unscrupulous as a guarantor for someone, and even buy an official for someone, what do you want to do in the future?

"As long as you don't go too far, I don't care about you. After two years, Hu'er will take the childbirth test. If you still have some self-consciousness about being a father, don't let Hu'er and Lian'er's future be ashamed."

"Mother, I won't, I... I won't drink or accept bribes from now on, can you stop..." Give up on me?

It is not the first time that Jia Shen admits that she is wrong. It is normal to relapse into old ways. Zhang Rui feels that the opportunity is a bit worthless. Even though Jia Shen is a bit unbearable to be seen now, she still said cruelly: "You are already in your 20s. , you should know that you will be punished for making mistakes, you are the head of the Rongguo Mansion, how should you punish yourself?"

"Son... son kneeling in the ancestral hall, the monthly punishment for the son is fine, or...or..." Jia Amnesty tried hard to think of a way to punish him to win back his mother's heart.

"You don't need to kneel. Go to the ancestral hall to recite scriptures for an hour every day to give to your ancestors. From now on, the mansion will no longer give you a monthly bill or pay you. When spring comes, you can reclaim the open space in the back garden and grow vegetables. No servants are allowed to do it." Zhang Rui took Jia Amnesty's words, "When am I satisfied, and when will it end."

Jia Amnesty is now afraid that his mother will ignore him, so there is no one who will not agree, and he has managed to get close to his mother in the past few years, and he really does not want to be like a mother and child like strangers like before.

"Also, don't you have the ability to send me the deed of prostitution that Meier gave you? Shouldn't it be a problem?"

"I'm asking people to ask for it."

"This is my last chance for you. If you don't repent, I will separate from your brothers. I will take the children back to Jinling. I don't want to hear about you again." Zhang Rui issued an ultimatum to Jia amnesty.

Jia Amnesty felt uncomfortable. If the family were really separated and his mother returned to Jinling, wouldn't it be poking his spine?Nodding again and again, she promised: "Mother, don't say such things, I won't do it."

Zhang Rui hopes that Jia Amnesty is really willing to repent, otherwise, in order to protect future generations, she doesn't mind really cutting off ties with them and letting them play by themselves.

When Jia Amnesty returned from the west courtyard, he immediately asked the boy to ask for Meier's contract of sale, and then asked people to collect scriptures and agricultural books. In the afternoon, the boy came back with the contract of sale, and he sent it to the west courtyard in person. Son.

Zhang Rui didn't show much, just nodded and let him go. Although Jia She was still a little apprehensive, he had always been big-hearted and felt that his mother had given him a chance, and he would definitely be forgiven if he made amends.

From the second day onwards, Jia Amnesty began to go to the ancestral hall to chant scriptures, and often he became sleepy after chanting for a while, although it was difficult, he persisted in the end.

After reading the scriptures and going back, I often passed by after a long time to catch up on sleep, but I don't know whether it was because I read the scriptures too much or was told by my mother, and I didn't have any motivation to go out, so I just nestled in the yard.

In the past, there were two Tong Fang who fell out of favor. Talking is better than nothing. I slept for a while, and then continued to read books and learn how to grow vegetables.

Then one morning in the cold winter months, Zhang Rui learned from Nanny Jing that Dafang had another pregnant wife, and that afternoon, Luyou gave birth prematurely again.

An aunt, Zhang Rui didn't need to go there, and she didn't hear that the baby was born at night. Mother Jing came over and said that it was not very good there, and she couldn't stop lying down at night, tossing and turning without falling asleep. At the time, Mother Jing came to report that Luyou didn't make it through, leaving only a girl who was a little weak.

Thinking that Mrs. Zhang was pregnant, the child was also pitiful, so Zhang Rui asked her to be carried from the big room to her. There were still many empty rooms in the west courtyard, so he rebuilt the kang, and arranged for his servants to take good care of her. Time finally looked tougher.

Zhang Rui sometimes sees her crying softly like a cat, and it will be a long time before the next time. I don't know if I can support her in this age. If she gets close but doesn't support her, it will make her sad.
