[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

Chapter 43 Master My Thunderbolt Means...

On the rest day, the old man was still thinking about finding the housekeeper, so he became addicted to setting up a stall to tell fortunes by touching bones.

This time he is going to the Daxiangguo Temple. He heard that there is a living god who is comparable to him.

Jia She feels that he is No.1, and there are many people in the Daxiangguo Temple. If he finds a good bone, he is suitable to be his own housekeeper. He doesn't mind luring or intimidating...

When the master recruits talents, he will make a move in the management of the mansion.

Only Mother Jia thought that the original big housekeeper, Lai Da's family, was completely loyal to her. In fact, the Lai family had long been secretly inclined to the second room. The key stewards are all from the second room. After all, although the Wang family fell down for a while, they were only grounded.

As for how to achieve the goal, Jia She thinks it's not too difficult, he won't use scheming and trickery with women all day long, the master is very talented, so it's fine to use upright schemes.

Daxiangguo Temple.

It was a good time to wait for Jia She and the others to come here, the streets were bustling and bustling.Because today is the rest day for the officials, although it is not a year or a festival, there are still many people who come here to worship the Buddha with their families.

Jia Amnesty brought his son Jia Lian, took out a bottle of oil Jia Yu, followed by a few servants, and the group came in soft sedan chairs, slightly different from Jia Amnesty's style of riding a horse a few days ago.

Master, he doesn't like to ride horses today, but he likes to enjoy the blessings in a sedan chair, and he can close his eyes and rest his mind along the way.

Jia Lian felt that today's master had a good temper, and he didn't take his civil and martial arts exams in the morning. Jia Lian felt a little happy in his heart.

However, why did he feel that along the way, it seemed that pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Jia Amnesty knew before that there were some "worms" following him, but today he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Master, he was just shopping, so he followed if he wanted to.

Jia Lian shook his head uncomfortably, looked around, but found no suspicious person.He looked up at his father in front of him, thinking that he was being overwhelmed. Master, a master, could feel it. , his progress is about to be caught up by the clan brother Xiao Jiahong.

Jia Lian wasn't jealous either, he didn't mind at all that Jia Xun studied art with a teacher, he still felt that with Jia Xun in his heart, his biological father could take his attention away from himself.

Jia Huang is curious about everything. This is the first time he went out to such a lively place. He used to live in the countryside in Jinling City, and he never went to the city with his mother. The only time he was picked up by the elder was the time. , I don't have time to go shopping at all.

Jinling City couldn't compete with the bustle of the capital. He was so dazzled that he couldn't tell. It was Jia Lian who was holding his hand. The age difference between the two was more than ten years. It's not unusual, but it's a pity that he only has one eldest sister so far.

Jia Amnesty set up a stall, and this time Jia Lian saw it with his own eyes, but he had only heard about it last time, so it was not as shocking as it is now.

The master is really powerful!

When Jia Lian saw that Jia She was all kinds of people, he quickly touched the bones, and when he talked about big and small things, everyone had an expression of being right, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.

"Master, do you want to pet your son too?" Jia Lian said eagerly.It's strange that idiot Xue has been pestering the master for a while...

Jia Amnesty opened his eyes, and gave him a very face-saving look: "Touch for you? If you are still afraid of guilt, you will be a childless man in the future."

"...No child?" Jia Lian opened his mouth and stammered, "How can there be no child?!"

He was only twenty years old, and he had another daughter under his knees. How could he be childless when he was young, strong and full of fire?

Sooner or later he will have a son!son--

Jia Lian was horrified.

Could it be that Feng'er couldn't give birth, but kept it from herself?Want to cut off your bloodline for the rest of your life? !

……

Can't!Even if you have a concubine in the future, you still have to respect your aunt, what is your aunt.

"If your daughter-in-law continues to worry about housekeeping all day long, your only chance to have a son will be cut off. It will not be easy to have a son in this life. Unless—— divorce your wife and marry another!" Jia She touched Jia Lian's hand bone, and then looked Jia Lian up and down.

Jia Lian's face was not very good-looking.

Thinking about the bad body since the eldest sister was born, it is actually related to the overwork of his good and competitive second grandmother during pregnancy. There is no hope for the mouth.

As for the concubine, Jia Lian and even the law of the country, this title is to be passed on to the concubine, and it is impossible for the concubine to have the right to inherit, unless there is the great grace of the royal family, otherwise there is absolutely no exception.

This is the inherent distinction between concubine and concubine in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even the emperor cannot change this custom and rule, and will not give this kind of grace easily.

Jia Amnesty knew exactly what he said, Jia Lian was frustrated by what he said, not to mention he believed it, but he believed it [-]% of the time.

Jia Amnesty has no conscience at all to continue his groping, to find a great manager who will do coolies for him in the future.

Most of the people here in Daxiangguo Temple are ordinary people. Well, there are some who look good, but they are not very interested in fortune-telling.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to be a friend of women, so he asked the boy to stop some old women who insisted on touching their bones, and forgive the master for not accepting them.

A middle-aged man in poor clothes and gray expression passed by the old man's stall. Jia She coughed and motioned for the servant to solicit customers.

The copper coin and the fan were very familiar with this business, and hurriedly blocked the way under the man's feet.

Luo Yuan's ancestors have been in business for five generations, and the family wealth and power of their ancestors was not inferior to the largest imperial merchants in the Great Xia Dynasty, but they were only rich for three generations. As early as their grandfather's generation, their Luo family's business gradually declined.

In fact, this is not surprising. At the beginning, they married with powerful people, but none of the children of the family passed the exam. The Great Xia Dynasty did not prohibit the sons of merchants from taking the exam, but because rich merchants live in extravagance, Coupled with the lack of background, it is lucky to have someone who studies hard, but even Luo Yuan himself is not the material for that study, and he can't calm down at all.

The Luo family gradually declined. Three months ago, his property was set up jointly by others, and a contract could not be honored, so he had to give up the ancestral property and even the ancestral house. Luo Yuan vomited blood violently.

No one in the family is an official, but no matter how shrewd he is in business, he has no strength to protect him, and his business will not prosper. He finally has a way to make money, and he is... taken by others!

The property is gone, the house is gone, Luo Yuan stays in his hometown without face, faces his ancestors without face, and walks down the road to bring the capital, now only ten taels of silver are left in his arms.

"I don't have money for fortune-telling." Seeing being stopped by someone, and seeing Jia She, Luo Yuan didn't speak well.

"No money." Jia She smiled, and there was a sense of conspiracy in his smile, which made Luo Yuan stay away.

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky!

Luo Yuan was a person who had been deceived before, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. Looking at Jia She, a feeling of disgust rose in his heart.

"I really have no money, you can find someone else to count."

"I don't use horoscopes for fortune-telling, and I don't take the initiative to ask you. I just touch the bones of your hands to know your past and future..." Jia Amnesty opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, and said ironically, "Are you afraid? I'll just touch the bones of your hands, Can so many people still blackmail you?!"

"...Laosheng, you are about to follow the Elder Master. This is a living immortal, much more powerful than the Zhao Immortal who set up a stall in front of the Daxiangguo Temple. You can tell for sure."

"...Young student, judging by your situation, you are just unlucky. Hurry up, you think everyone is lying to you, tell you, who is this?!"

"This is the grand master of the Rongguo Mansion, the Duke of the State!" It has been revealed for a long time that most of the people who have been touched are not very clear about it.

——"Ah? Isn't this me shaking hands with the Duke?"

"Mom, I don't want to wash my hands for three days."

"..."

Luo Yuan sat in front of Jia She in a daze, and Jia She was not polite, he thought that this person's background might be okay.Sure enough, as soon as the hands were put on, Jia She laughed.

This person is good.

A businessman is easy to manage and has a broad vision. Luo Yuan is not a bad character, but his family is in decline. No matter how good his business is, when he meets those powerful and powerful nobles, it is normal for the Luo family to fail to keep it. It is abnormal if they keep it.Not to mention far away, but to say that the Xue family who took refuge in Rongguo Mansion really thought they were here to be elected.

That's because Xue Pan and Baochai's father died, and the pillars of the family with official positions died. Naturally, the Xue family could no longer stay in the land of tigers and wolves. If there were no Jia family and Wang family, otherwise the Xue family's business would not be able to maintain. until now.

Jia She smiled and finished explaining Luo Yuan's background one by one... Luo Yuan's expression changed with the words of Mr. Bone. He didn't believe that this was Rong Guogong. Stick!

But I can't help but know too many people who know Jia She, especially today is the day of rest and musing, there is someone who passed by in a luxurious carriage, raised the curtain to see Jia She, came over to say hello after being stunned...

One by one, Jia Lian, as a man, felt a little embarrassed. This was not a brothel or something else. At most, other people said that he was a dude, so it was fortune-telling. Look at the master, he really doesn't care.

"How about it? Come to my house and be my housekeeper. You can be free and don't sell yourself. In the future, your descendants will still be able to test for fame."

Luo Yuan kept a blank face and was silent for a long time.

This Rong Guogong finished touching his own bones, and also asserted that he would have no fortune in the future. If he met a nobleman, he would be lucky if he died. This nobleman, Jia She was naturally referring to himself.

……

When Jia Lian followed his father back to the house, he couldn't help asking: "Master, our house is short of a big housekeeper... Could it be that the master wants to—"

Jia She gave him a sideways look, "At least you're not so stupid, after all Rongguo Mansion belongs to our eldest son!"

Jia Lian's eyes widened, he took a breath, and became emotionally excited.He rubbed his hands. He used to really think that he liked to curry favor with his second uncle and aunt... There is really no way, otherwise he and Feng'er, who don't love their parents, even the servants in the house would dare to spit on them behind their backs. Yang obeys Yin and Yin violates, not to mention some old people who have served Jia Mu, they have to respect them carefully, otherwise, his second sister will be silent, watching their gold and silver jewelry being taken away by the mother.One reason is that she has a weak temperament, and the other is that there are indeed such old rules in the mansion, just like in the past when Lai Nanny was sitting, he had to stand, and he had to take the initiative to say hello...

Jia Lian raised his hands a hundred times in favor of changing the rule of respecting slaves.

The Rongning Second Mansion wanted to say that there were these moth-like old servants, but they also had loyal servants, but they couldn't do things and were not treated by their masters.For example, Uncle Jiao, who drives the car in the East Mansion, has worked hard. Even if he is drinking well now, he can't control his broken mouth, but this is because the bamboos are really out of shape. Jia Lian also knows a little bit about the chaos in the East Mansion. It's not just swearing for no reason, it's really hard to persuade, and it's hard to see, but when it comes to loyalty and driving skills, Jiao Da is first-class.

Speaking of the Lai family, they started their careers entirely because they were the dowry of Jia's mother, so they were valued and promoted. In terms of merit, no man in their family has ever fought with the old man on the battlefield, but the Lai family is very powerful. The two big housekeepers, the grandson and granddaughter of the Lai family grew up like gold and jade, Lai Shangrong, the grandson of Nanny Lai, was raised as a young master since he was a child, and he even studied. You must know that even if Jia Lian wanted to be an official, he would only start as a county magistrate.

Of course, there is a key point here. Lai Shangrong works harder than Jia Lian, and he has a reputation for educating people. Although it is possible to raise people to be an official, he has to wait for many years. Don't you see those poor children in the capital who have won the same Jinshi, and they are low-ranking. The magistrates in the county are not easy to be lacking. Lai Shangrong was not admitted to the Jinshi, so the family asked Jia Mu to seek an official. It can be seen that Lai Mama's face is great, and Jia Mu has a lot of trust in her.

But Jia She knew that Lai Shangrong's family was heartless, and the information in the female author's head told Jia She that when Jia's family was down and out, his good second brother would help Jia's mother to go to the south. I borrowed it, agreed to borrow it, but Lai Shangrong only gave me 500 taels and sent it away.

Ha ha……

Is the Lai family poor?

Is Lai Shangrong an upright official?

Seeing that the family built a family-saving yard for the girl in Yuanchun, and the Lai family also built a garden, you will know how rich and blatant the Lai family is.

Whose family's servants live a better life than the serious master, even Lian's daughter-in-law's housekeeper sometimes needs to pawn her own dowry if she wants to use some money, but the Lai family can actually accumulate such a large and elegant garden.

Although it can't keep up with the Grand View Garden, but the garden is small and worth 20 to [-] taels.

Such a Lai family, when Jia's family was down, would they give 500 taels? !

This is a big joke.

Although Jia Amnesty dealt with them before, Lai Shangrong was fine, but life might be difficult now, even if their Rongguo Mansion doesn't embarrass Nanny Lai, the people below will naturally suppress and suppress Lai Shangrong who is an official. Stop doing his business.Unless Liu Jia and those Hanlin scholars who are against him promote him, but hehe, Jia Amnesty knows the thoughts of Liu Jia and his group of Qingliu too well. Moth, this background is not clear, he is now at odds.

The Lai family has been down for such a long time, and he has been the real Duke of Rong for so long. Now that the family is in power, he has to talk to the old lady and his second brother.

In the evening, Jia Shen's addiction to fortune-telling was gone. Although he felt quite tired, he suddenly felt that he hadn't been close to his beauties for a long time.

Even, his usual random thoughts returned to his mind, and he even thought of the Widow Liu whom he had seen not long ago. Thinking of Widow Liu's graceful figure and beautiful face, Jia She regretted a little, why did he arrange for her to go to the back street.

This, this is inconvenient for the master to steal incense and jade.

He smacked his lips, how could the master be so moral and noble before, and such a beautiful flower should be let go, really...

It's all right for Jia She to think about it, he still has a good impression of Jia Huang, this Widow Liu is his younger sister-in-law after all, although Jia Huang's biological father has passed away, but the elder brother-in-law in his clan is not easy to mess with, alas.

Thinking of this, Jia She's interest was greatly reduced, seeing those Yingyingyanyans in his room, he felt bored, so he walked to Mrs. Xing's place on a rare occasion.

Mrs. Xing hasn't been close to her master for quite a while, now she sees Jia She, there is no reason for her being ungracious, Jia She is in a good mood today, and sooner or later that Luo Yuan loses even the ten taels of silver, and is desperate Naturally, they would come to Rongguo Mansion to ask for a meal.

Jia Amnesty "knows" all of this, and Luo Yuan's enemies didn't intend to take away his family property and just let it go. The villain is like this, he has done something that is sorry for others, and secretly fears that they will retaliate against him in the future, and he can't wait for Luo Yuan There is no place to die.

Inadvertently making friends! Inadvertently making friends!

Jia Shen didn't have any sympathy at all, what he was thinking was to hurry up, Luo Yuan, who was still in bad luck, hurriedly lost the last silver on his body, and then he himself, a nobleman, went to save this lost lamb.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Jia She's mouth. Mrs. Xing saw that the master was in a good mood, thought about it, and carefully talked about Yingchun.

"Master, the girl who came to welcome the spring today is very considerate to me. As a wife, I know that she has suffered all kinds of grievances and sufferings. It's not a case of losing the master's role, but the old lady and the gold and silver jewelry rewards given to the girls during the festivals, most of the good things were given away by the women..."

Jia She said "oh", thinking about the Xing family's rambling, it's time to get to the point.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xing pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes were red, and she continued: "Master, tell me, which of the second wife's housekeeping and education of the three girls in our mansion has done well? Master, think about it. When she was at home, the grandeur and ostentation were all piled up with gold and silver. Although Yingchun is a concubine, Yingchun's mother is a decent second-bedroom wife, but her younger sister is a confidante. Misfortune, the second girl suffered..."

Mrs. Xing pretended to cry.

Jia She used to know about her pretentious posture, but he had always had a estrangement from Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, and he hated Wang's behavior even more.

Even if he didn't pay much attention to Yingchun, it wasn't his second wife's turn to treat her poorly.

The people below still watch people order dishes, so that the treatment of his daughter is lower than that of the third girl in the second room?

What kind of person is Tan Yatou's mother? Yingchun's mother is a decent and talented girl. She was his former second-room aunt. Unlike other Tongfang aunts, the old lady also liked to see her.

Jia Amnesty thought for a while about the appearance of the woman Yingchun, but his impression was blurred. He was disappointed, he had forgotten the appearance of this person, he must be similar to the second girl.

"Finally, what do you want to do?" Jia She gave Xing a squinting look, knowing that she must have something to say after laying it out for so long.

Mrs. Xing smiled coyly, stroked her hair, and said, "I'm thinking that the second wife won't allow her to take care of things. Are those big and small internal and external stewards and small stewards in our house who are in charge of big things and small things, right?" Move...?" She stared at Jia She with bright eyes.

Jia She grinned, and let out a heck, "You've been thinking about this matter, aren't you and Lian's daughter-in-law taking care of the family affairs together... still not satisfied?!"

"Then how can it be the same, the people below don't see me, and my eldest wife can't order these mothers and men." Mrs. Xing deliberately called those servants that way, and the sarcasm in her tone was undoubtedly revealed.

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he lost his temper and said, "What kind of mother and father are they? They are just slaves who have signed a death contract." Turning his head, he looked at Mrs. Xing and snorted: "Don't worry about this. I complained, I have my own ideas about the housekeeper.

The next day, Jia She got up early in the morning, washed up, ate a few snacks, and then saw a picture of butterflies and peonies that Mrs. Xing hadn't finished embroidering.

Jia She looked at the unbearable blemish contemptuously, took scissors to remove a few places, and then quickly finished the embroidery stitch by stitch, picked it up and nodded in satisfaction.

After that, he casually threw the embroidery back, looked up at the sky outside, his eyes darkened, it was time to greet the old lady, and it was also time to take control of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia's mother had just finished a bowl of Bijaponica rice porridge, and she didn't have a good appetite, so she didn't eat any more pork rolls with bean paste.

The mandarin duck and a little maid went down with the dishes, and happened to meet the elder who came to pay his respects.

Yuanyang's heart tightened, her footsteps paused, and seeing that the old man didn't seem to notice her, she hurriedly left the old lady's room.

She can still remember the scene of the elder begging to be whipped. Whenever she thinks about it, Yuanyang will have a shadow in her heart...

When Jia Mu saw Jia Amnesty coming, the two exchanged a few words. Jia Mu had just finished eating and was a little tired.

But Jia Amnesty actually sat down.

Jia's mother glanced at her eldest son, thinking, what's the matter? !

She couldn't help but feel her brain throbbing reflexively, and she even had a headache.

Mother Jia was helpless, "Boss, what else do you want to say?" It would be no good to stay.

Jia She had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Old lady, it's time for our family to separate, how do you think?"

When the Wang family sold the land for offering sacrifices last time, he wanted to do this, but it was in time for the funeral in the East Mansion, and the fire was not yet ready, so he didn't push too much at that time.

What's more, if we don't separate the family, wouldn't the matter of visiting relatives fall on the Rongguo Mansion again?

Jia She's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he secretly pricked himself with an embroidery needle for a while, but his face became more and more cheerful, which made Jia Mu's heart ache.

"Boss, you—you are—" Jia Mu was so angry, she was still alive and well, and the eldest son wanted to kick his brother out.

"Isn't it filial?" Jia She snorted and laughed, "I don't dare to bear these two words. If the old lady wants to sue me for disobedience, she has to enter the palace...As for whether you can move and whether you can enter the palace, my son said No, your old man may not have the final say."

Jia Amnesty's words made Jia's mother startled.

What does this mean?

Is this a threat to yourself?What a big dog, does he still have the guts to kill his mother? !

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Mu whose eyes were about to pop out, and whose face was flushed with anger, and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Look, what are you thinking about all the time? The reason why your son is so filial is just to let the old lady take care of you and take care of your life. What else can I do with you..." He said quietly.

Mother Jia pointed at Jia Amnesty with her arms trembling. The mandarin duck had been outside the door since she came back. The old man was in the house, and there was no word from inside. Forgive a person by the side.

"Old lady, you really don't understand me, your son. I hate people pointing at me the most." Jia Amnesty stretched out his index finger, and "lightly" pressed Jiamu's arm.

Mother Jia only felt as if a brick was pressing on her old arm, forcing her to put down the arm and fingers pointing at Jia She,

Jia She smiled, and slowly took out a needle bag from the sleeve, and took out an embroidery needle. The embroidery needle flashed in front of Jia Mu's eyes, and with a "swish", it landed directly on Jia Mu's eyes. a point on the palm of your hand.

Jia's mother said "ah", her heart was beating so hard that she was too frightened.

The boss is so rebellious, he really wants to kill himself? !

But no one heard Jia Mu's cry... Jia Mu picked her throat. After a long time, her expression was dull, and she finally came back to her senses. She grabbed her throat with both hands and said "woo hoo". Several times, he shouted at Jia She, but nothing happened.

"You want to say, you are speechless? Right?" Jia Amnesty smiled, very kind and gentle. The eldest son who is also cunning and merciless, she thought she had seen a prince with a distinguished and quiet temperament.

"Old lady, don't worry... my son will send out a group of servants. Although Nanny Lai's family has been driven away by his son, all the stewards, big and small, are not all useable. This is all the grace to give Let it out, sell your body for money—forgive me!" Jia Amnesty said very "generously" with a wave of his hand. "Of course, before we leave, we have to follow the old rules and order a little of the net worth of the servants, so as not to entrain some rebellious servants who don't think about the Lord's kindness." Jia She smiled with a special meaning.

——How decent is this!With such a big fanfare and the search for the money of the slaves, wouldn't it make everyone in the capital laugh at themselves? !Jiamu moved her fingers, and stood up eagerly. She couldn't speak after being acupunctured, but she really wanted to go out and let Yuanyang into the house, but Jia Amnesty would not give her this chance, but just reached out and brushed Jiamu's head and neck, He pressed her sleeping point heavily, letting her sleep well for a day or two.

When he got out of the room, Jia She looked at the mandarin duck standing beside him, smiled lightly, and said, "The old lady is tired, she just fell asleep, and it will take a few hours before she wakes up, so go and wait on her."

……
