Enemies in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "You guys come with me to see the Elder Master, these unscrupulous slaves in the house should also be cleaned up properly!"

Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered slightly, "Old people are old ladies who can talk to each other. If you pass on a little bit of information that is not clear, it will make the old lady worry even more. Why don't you tell the old lady about it. The old lady at home The old lady shouldn't be tired anymore, but for the sake of the family's reputation of the ancestor's foundation, I don't care much about it. The eldest brother and sister-in-law should also call to the old lady."

Jia Lian clenched his hands tightly and glanced at Wang Xifeng unconsciously. Seeing Wang Xifeng nodding along, his heart became colder.

In fact, Wang Xifeng didn't think much about it, she was already afraid in her heart, and she also felt that she didn't know what would happen because of the money-greedy temperament and unscrupulous behavior of the elder master and the eldest wife.If you report directly to the old lady, even if the old lady doesn't like her, she will end up with a lot of scruples.

It can be seen that men and women are different after all, no matter how stupid Jia Lian is, the first thing he thinks of is etiquette and family inheritance, and no matter how shrewd Wang Xifeng is, the first thing he thinks of is those small benefits.

"Forget it, then go to the old lady's place directly! Find two people to invite the old man and the old lady." Jia Zheng walked out the door first.

Jia Lian endured a few moments before saying, "My nephew is going to invite his parents."

This is a blatant warning. Jia Lian has never called Mrs. Xing her mother. She has always called Mrs. Xing or Mrs. Madam. Now Wang Xifeng is preoccupied with who to blame, and has no intention of looking at Jia Lian, even winking. , Jia Lian could only speak to remind him.

Jia Zheng waved his hand indifferently, "Alright, you can go."

Wang Xifeng didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't understand it, so he didn't say anything at all.

Mrs. Wang paused her steps, thinking: It really is an unfamiliar thing!

Jia Lian saw them all and walked out quickly.

When I arrived in the courtyard over there, I saw a few maidservants with heavy make-up playing and laughing coquettishly, not knowing what to do. They all giggled when they saw Jia Lian, and some even tilted their heads, pulled their hair ends and bit their nails.Jia Lian has no intention of being flirtatious now, so he finds a familiar person and asks, "Is the Eldest Master here?"

The maid covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sniggered, and said shyly, "Yes. Our sisters are just about to bring hot water! The second master wants to see the elder master, so go to the small hall and wait."

"My dear sister, let me know, it's really urgent!" Jia Lian endured so much that she didn't touch her a few times, and watched them walk away before going to the small hall to wait.

When Jia Amnesty came over, Mrs. Xing also arrived. Jia Lian quickly reported what Jia Zheng said. I didn't hear any rumors, so I must have earned a lot of money? I said why the monthly money and silver are always received so late. It turns out that they are used to make money. We are still your daughter-in-law's serious parents-in-law. This money is I haven't seen a single bit of it, and it turns out that whoever comes out is facing that person!"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear, calling Jia She, "Father!"

Jia Amnesty waved his fan and said, "What your mother said is rough and reasonable. Even though you and your wife live in the second room, you are still in the first room. Don't keep turning your elbows when you have something good to do."

Jia Lian's heart was icy cold, the second master over there directly wanted to put all the responsibility on the husband and wife, while the elder master here only cared about petty profits.Fortunately, I didn't say it in front of the old lady. If people want people to hear that their parents put shit bowls on their heads, one can imagine what people outside will think. The rope hangs clean.

Immediately fell to his knees, "Master said this to put my son to death! The uncle told the son and his wife to come over, and if he didn't say anything, he would ask the crime, and the son couldn't speak clearly, so he could only plead guilty, and now the father is doing the same. Tell me, it's better to be dead!"

Weeping bitterly again, he said: "Father knows that the second uncle will take care of all the affairs of the family. The son has always been incompetent, so he can only run around and pass on a word. Even the son and daughter-in-law are young and ignorant, because the old lady Yanyuan is barely in charge of some affairs, and every day he has to report to the second wife to make it clear that it sounds nice to be a housekeeper, but in fact it is just an errand for a maidservant. Feng girl has a very strong temper, her son is incompetent and cannot help Feng Girl, besides, we can't really ignore everything and let others manipulate us for nothing, so we have to endure it like this, who knows..."

No matter how stupid Jia Amnesty was, he could not understand Jia Lian's meaning, and all the resentment towards Erfang for so many years was piled up in his heart.Madam Xing wanted to say something, but Jia Amnesty directly stopped her.

Said to Jia Lian: "Get up! Your mother and I will not fight or grab a corner, and we have not been in charge of the family affairs for many years. They said that they were mentally ill, so they took your young couple to help. The upright eldest son lived in the house I didn't say anything when I was suffocating in a small yard. Now that something happens, I just push the child to take the blame, and I want to ask the old lady what the reason is!"

Mrs. Xing also understands a little bit, not to mention other things, if the affairs of the house are all under the control of the first room, the money in her hand will not be under the control of the second room.

When the three of Jia Amnesty arrived at the old lady's place, Jia Zheng had already told the old lady what had happened.Seeing Jia Amnesty arrived, the old lady asked: "Boss, Lian'er has already told you, what kind of charter are you? Our family must not let this villain ruin our reputation!"

Jia Amnesty was the most impatient, now that he could not hold back when he saw that the second house was about to lose face, he immediately asked: "Let's not talk about this for now, but I want to ask my second brother, I called Lian'er and Lian'er What does it mean for a daughter-in-law to kneel down to plead guilty? Who said that they did it? If it gets out, what face will Lian'er have? The court really wants to punish the crime and take away the title and official position, who will bear it?"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she trembled, and then her eyes changed when she looked at Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. There were only three legitimate sons in the family, Jia Lian, Baoyu, and Jia Lan.

Mrs. Xing also said: "If anything happens, the second master and younger brothers and sisters can go to the master and me. Don't just look for children. You are elders and they don't like to contradict you. Even if you die unjustly, you can't tell."

In the eyes of the old lady, Jia She is a bastard who is not afraid of getting into trouble. The old lady is a little afraid of him, but she is not afraid of Mrs. Xing.Seeing Mrs. Xing speak, she patted the table and scolded: "What do you know! If you don't say hurry up and find a way to solve the problem, you will make a lot of troubles. Is it wrong to teach the younger generation the elders? If this is the case, I will not dare to see you again !"

Madam Xing curled her lips, stepped back a few steps, and dared not speak again.

Jia Amnesty sat on the chair with a big face, "The old lady doesn't have to run on like this. My son is useless. I know I don't have the ability to handle the Rongguo Mansion well. Now that something is going on, I can't get in the way. It's just that Lian'er is my son. His son has lost his mother since he was a child. To put it bluntly, if he is really wronged, no one in this mansion can speak for him except me. Other things such as profit taking and litigation will stay for a while. Wait, I want to ask the second brother from which mouth he heard that the matter was done by Lian'er and his wife, why should he be convicted without asking!"

"Brother, I..." Jia Zheng blushed, bowed and bowed to apologize to Jia Amnesty.

Jia She hurriedly avoided, and said: "Everyone in the whole house, inside and outside the capital, doesn't know that your second master is in charge of the Rongguo mansion, and even the untouchables know to find the second master to settle the matter. I dare not accept this gift. He even pointed at the second brother to let me enjoy the blessings! Don’t say anything about the side house and the main house, as long as it’s in that yard, it’s the same thing! Now it’s good, when something happens, I remember that there is an eldest son and grandson who can use it to top the tank !"

The old lady almost didn't come up in one breath, she pointed at Jia She with trembling fingers and scolded angrily: "Okay! Okay! So you have been blaming me for a long time in your heart, but you are able to bear it now when you are older. You are the eldest son and grandson. These people shouldn't be here. In this mansion, now I will take Baoyu and the others back to Jinling, so as not to hinder your grand lord's eyes!" Only the word "disobedience" was not uttered in the end.As for the side room and the main room, nothing was mentioned.It's just that everyone present knew the inside story, and the one who didn't know was Rongxitang.

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and clenched her hands, a large portion of her nails were broken, she really didn't expect the Elder Master to be so embarrassing today, as a junior, no matter how many Linglong words he can't speak.Turning to look at Jia Lian, I saw that the circles of his eyes were red, he was in a daze thinking about something, secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and secretly asked what to do.Jia Lian came back to his senses, took Wang Xifeng's hand and quietly retreated to the door.The maids and women had already hid far away, only the mandarin ducks stayed closer to listen to orders.

I heard Jia She sneer inside, "The old lady doesn't have to run on her son. The son is already shameless, and he is not afraid of making trouble. It depends on the old lady's reluctance." As for the reluctance, I didn't say anything.

Judging from Jia She's words, today's affairs may not be good.The old lady pointed at Jia She, "You, you..." She fell back as soon as she closed her eyes. Everyone was shocked and hurried over to serve her.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing rubbed their chests one by one, while the other pinched someone. Jia Zheng yelled, "Please doctor!", in a hurry, and then pleaded guilty to Jia Amnesty, "Brother, what happened today is my brother's fault. Elder brother is like a father." , how the eldest brother punishes, Zheng Wu has no complaints, but the old lady is getting old, so please ask the eldest brother..."

Jia Amnesty was even angrier, "According to you, it's my fault? Didn't you make a fuss about what happened today?!" With a cold snort, he ran to the side and waited.

Jia Zheng is nene.At this time, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and the maids have come over, so I won't say anything more.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, the old lady was already awake. Jia She knelt down to plead guilty, but the old lady pretended she didn't see it, and she only half-closed her eyes and wept.Jia Zheng also knelt down to plead guilty, saying that he was unfilial and should not bother the old lady.Until the imperial doctor arrived, after taking the pulse, he said that the old lady was very angry, and told her not to get angry when she was old and hurt her body, and prescribed a prescription for recuperation.No matter how aggrieved Jia Amnesty felt, he couldn't say anything at this moment, he could only feel bored again as usual.

What should be resolved still had to be resolved, but neither of the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng dared to bother the old lady with this matter. Even though Jia She was angry, he didn't dare to talk about it, so the two could only discuss the solution.
