[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Because the rumor that his own sexuality is a mystery has been heard by everyone except the Jia family, so Jia Lian was a little shocked and funny, and he didn't quite believe the people in his house, so he asked Liu Ding to help find out whether the rumor came from the Jia family. Where did it spread.

Liu Ding naturally readily agreed. In fact, the reason why they chose Huafang was because based on their knowledge of Jia Lian, he really didn't have any signs of breaking his sleeves.

Liu Ding also wanted to help Jia Lian clarify with the facts, but he didn't expect that the girl Manqing he invited was really incompatible with Jia Lian, and she almost did something bad with good intentions.

It's rare for everyone to get together today. Jia Lian naturally didn't want everyone to come back disappointed, so he acted like he didn't care at all. What does it matter if he looks but doesn't have a stone hammer?

So in the second half of today's gathering, because Jia Lian's relationship was quite harmonious, and he was even able to tease himself, everyone believed that he was not affected, and it was quite happy until the end.

When it was time to part, the two brothers were the youngest, so Jia Lian suggested that the elders go first, and they stay behind.

When the others had left, Jia Zhu saw that Jia Lian still had no intention of getting into the carriage, so she asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going back? Lian'er?"

"Wait a minute first." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian looked at Hu Dan'er and the other servants, and said, "If I hear something about today's incident in the mansion, all of you will be punished even if you sit down, no one will be spared. .”

When Jia Zhu heard this, she reacted and immediately said to her little servant: "What Lian'er said is what I meant, no matter what Huafang or Brother Liu said, I will know whoever spreads today's events. Heavily punished."

Naturally, the servants did not dare not listen, but Jia Lian also knew that if someone asked, there would always be an explanation, so he told them that if someone asked, they still met at the place they had originally agreed upon, and there was no need to say anything else. explain.

After all the orders were given, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu got into the carriage and prepared to go home.

"Lian'er, what are you going to do if you find out who sent it?"

Jia Lian raised his head and said as a matter of course: "Naturally let them know the price of gossip about the master."

Jia Zhu nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell grandma and them? Presumably grandma and them will make decisions for you."

Jia Lian looked at his naive cousin amusedly, and asked, "There are many servants involved in the house, and I thought that no matter who I find out, I can take care of it, but grandma, Brother Zhu really thinks that they won't suddenly 'Merciful'?"

Jia Zhu has always been concentrating on studying, and has never been involved in the affairs of these housekeepers in the mansion, but he still understands the ways of the world. Indeed, as his cousin said, if it is found out that the person is more involved, the grandmother and mother will inevitably cover up. heart of……

Thinking of this, he sighed and said: "Lian'er, what you said is also reasonable, but if you find out anything important at that time, you must notify me, and I will deal with it together with you."

Even if he didn't say anything, Jia Lian didn't intend to exclude Jia Zhu. After all, he really thought that only the servants of the big house didn't have the ability to spread the word to everyone in the capital, but now he volunteered to save himself. Originally, the Jia family is now the second householder in charge, so if something happened to win over a second householder, wouldn't it be a good thing, anyway, they have a deep brotherhood.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, the two went to greet their grandmother. The old lady asked how the two of them were playing today. Jia Zhu is not good at lying. Hidden a little secret of two people.

After returning to his own courtyard, Xing'er came over to report: "Master, you asked the servant to count the dowries of the late wife in the mansion, and the servant has found all of them."

Jia Lian took the list he handed over. There were only more than 20 people on it. He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why is there only so little?"

"Back to the young master, after the wife passed away, it was the master who ordered some people to work on the wife's dowry village."

"So..." Jia Lian put down the list, tapped his middle finger on it, and continued after a while: "Since they are all working in our big house, you go and call everyone over tomorrow, and I will see you."

"Yes, sir."

Lying on the bed, Jia Lian still felt that he really couldn't understand him as a cheap father. It seemed to be true that he was blinded by the rumors outside, but sometimes his behavior didn't seem like he had no brains at all. look...

But with his IQ, he couldn't figure out something too deep, so Jia Lian simply threw himself on the bed and rolled around twice, then stopped suddenly, didn't he want to enjoy life?Why bother with these things?Did it go sideways?

But thinking about it again, with the mess of Jia's family, if he doesn't clean up his surroundings, he probably won't be able to live a heartless life in the future, so it is still necessary to work hard.

Early the next morning, after Jia Lian asked An to go back, Xing'er had already called those servants into their yard. He didn't want to know all of the twenty or so people, so he simply asked a few words and looked at them. What kind of people, keep two of them, and let them go back to the rest.

One of them belonged to Deng Yong's family, who was the dowry maid next to the birth mother, and the other was Jiang Tao, the son of the dowry mother. They both received simple errands in the mansion, so they were all excited and apprehensive when they were summoned by the young master today.

Jia Lian had met Deng Yong's family many times, and he also knew from Xing'er that when his biological mother was still alive, he married her to the son of some powerful manager in the mansion. It's still kind, so she's not doing well or badly.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't show too much enthusiasm, but asked lightly: "Father said that he never took care of mother's dowry, so the ones who have been in charge of this shop all these years should be Mother Jiang and that old man How many people are in charge?"

Jiang Tao replied humbly: "Yes, although the servant girl has come to Zhuangzi, she has been helping you, young master, to manage your wife's shop Zhuangzi, but there is no master in charge, and my mother and all the managers are really short-sighted and can't do anything for you. You generate more profit..."

The index finger moved, and Jia Lian was amused. Before he saw what the ledger was going to do, he was eager to get rid of it. It seems that they themselves knew that the profit and loss were not justified...

But presumably these people have already got the news about him getting his mother's dowry. If he calls someone to come over for questioning, he must be well-prepared. ...

Thinking of this, Jia Lian stood up and said to Tiger Daner: "Let someone prepare the carriage, and then call those boys, young master, I will go to the Zhuangzi to visit Mother Jiang personally!"

While talking, Jia Lian kept paying attention to Jiang Tao's expression. Seeing that he was really uneasy, he knew that these people were not so innocent, so he told Xing'er: "Go and ask for leave for the two of them. They go out together."

Xing'er cupped his hands to answer "Yes", then turned and went out.

During the waiting time, Jia Lian didn't talk to the two of them anymore, but asked Qing Fu to bring him a script book to pass the time. For a while, there was only the sound of flipping through the book, and the two stood there nervously sweating. flowed down.

In comparison, Deng Yong's family is just because they can't let go in front of the little master, but Jiang Tao is really a little guilty, but he can't do anything now, he only feels that a catastrophe is imminent, and his life is not long!

Hudan'er arranged everything, returned to his master and said, "Young master, you can go now."

Jia Lian nodded, stood up and raised his chin at the two to signal for them to follow, while Hu Dan'er walked behind them with a very winking look, staring at them closely to prevent them from making any other moves.

All the way out of the city, I came to the dowry village of Zhang's biological mother, where Nanny Jiang was. The door was closed tightly. Hu Dan'er went up to "bang bang" and knocked on the door a few times. "who is it?!"

Jia Lian turned his head and glanced at Jiang Tao, seeing that he was shaking violently, and the corners of his lips curled up in disdain. This kind of psychological quality is really disappointing.

After the door opened, a thin boy walked out. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was still a little dazed when he saw Jia Lian and the others. When he saw Jiang Tao, he immediately called out, "Guard Jiang, are you...?" Looking back and forth between Jia Lian and Jiang Tao, they are still a little unclear.

When Jia Lian heard "Guan Jiang", he stepped into the gate and said, "Guan Jiang, lead the way."

Jiang Tao trembled even more violently, and his voice trembled a little, "Yes, yes, young master."

The boy's eyes widened, and when he saw a group of people walking in, he wanted to go around, but was blocked by a strong boy brought by Jia Lian, "Where do you want to go?"

Jia Lian heard the voice, looked back, and said, "Big head, you and the six sons are here to watch."

"Okay, young master, don't worry!"

There was no delay after finishing speaking, Jia Lian walked in quickly with the rest of the people, and when he came to the main hall, he saw that the inside was spotlessly cleaned, and all the decorations were very rich, but this didn't explain anything, so he said to Tiger Daner : "Go ask Mother Jiang to come over."

Hu Dan'er responded, turned around and walked out. It didn't take long to see him wearing silk and satin, and the hairpins and accessories on his body were not ordinary, and his expression was completely calm compared to her son Jiang Tao.

Jia Lian didn't attack directly, but raised his hand and said, "Mother Jiang, please sit down."
