Spring nights, starry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe rich night is soaked in the capital. The lights in Rongguo's mansion are lit. This afternoon, Jia Huan's counterattack at the upper room of Jia's mother was like a small-yield bomb exploding, impacting the hearts of everyone in Jiafu. All kinds of contradictions and ideas emerged.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the contradictions between Jia Huan and the Lai family are constantly intensifying. The contradiction between Jia Huan and the Lai family can actually be seen as Jia Huan's challenge to Jia's mother's authority to a certain extent. So, how will the people in the chessboard of Jiafu choose and determine their position?

Under this main contradiction, there are also some subtle conflicts and ideas: the anger between Baoyu and Daiyu; Baoyu and Baochai, Ying, Tan, and cherish the estrangement of several people; Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are not in harmony with each other; Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing's dissatisfaction with Jia's mother's partiality; The political father is idle who doesn't care about everything; Madame Wang's deepest desire to get the power of Jiafu is longing; Aunt Xue was indecisive and hesitant at this time; Li Kun's secret worries; Qingwen's heart leaned towards Jia Huan and so on.

With these bright or dark contradictions, conflicts, and ideas as the warp and weft, a huge original ecological picture scroll in Jiafu is outlined, like ukiyo-e of life. There is no doubt that the eye-catching stroke in this painting at this time is the conflict between Jia Huan and the Lai family.

Everyone in Jiafu is paying attention to the progress and results of this matter....

In the silence of the night, Jia Huan had just sent the treasure bead that had come to give him a thank you gift, and was working hard in the study to prepare a plan.

The current conflict with the Lai family is just an extremely small link in his huge "self-help plan". It was he who took the first step in transforming Jiafu.

Everyone thought that he would be able to intervene in the management affairs of Jia Mansion in the middle of this year, after the completion of the first phase of the clan management training course. However, they ignore one point, the first significance of the establishment of the steward training course: it is to give the stewards inside and outside Jiafu a channel to seek refuge in him.

Jia Huan has been screening the interpersonal relationships between the parents of the students in the training class since the beginning of the year, and this time it is almost complete.

The clear light of the moonlight fell on the young, quiet, and resolute face of the youth. The sound of writing with a brush makes a gentle sound.

…

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Jia Huangang sent Qian Huai to Dongzhuang Town to deliver a letter, and Jia Yu sent a little girl Hong'er to invite Jia Huan to meet in a side hall on Jiafu East Road.

In the side hall, the display is exquisite. On the east-facing wall hangs a landscape painting. Jia Yu sat in the main seat under the painting, leisurely drinking tea, and his mind was hard to guess.

After Jia Huan entered the door, he saluted calmly, "I've seen the uncle." "In the past, he came to Jia Yu to discuss things. This is the first time Jia Yu has taken the initiative to consult with him. He knew what to discuss.

Jia Yu smiled, "Brother Huan'er is here." Have a seat. He ordered the little servant to serve tea and asked, "I heard that the old lady allowed you to check the big one?" Interested in working with me? As he spoke, his eyes stared at Jia Huan, his eyes a little eager and impatient.

He had heard Jia Huan mention it earlier: The Lai family is very wealthy. He estimated that he would definitely have no less than 50,000 taels of silver. Although he said that he had received Lai Da's deposit in the 9th year of Yongzhi, he had punished Lai Sheng in the 10th year of Yongzhi. However, he has not eaten the bulk of the Lai family's family. Now's your chance.

Jia Huan sat down with a smile and said, "Of course, you have to cooperate with the uncle." Clear our Jia family's rats, how can we miss the uncle? "If he wants to bring down the Lai family that Jia's mother is carrying, he really needs Jia Yu's cooperation.

Jia Yu happily patted the table and said, "Okay! Brother Huan, I really didn't misunderstand you. This time we're splitting the bill!

Jia Huan looked at Jia Yu, who was greedy for profit and greedy, and was a little speechless in his heart. Uncle, it seems that I am the one who takes the initiative!

The main goal is to bring down the Lai family and obtain part of the management authority of the Jia Mansion. Looting the Lai family's family is a collateral target. What Jia Huan said in front of Jia's mother was to confiscate the corrupt money, but this did not mean that he had no idea about the Lai family's property. He's not that noble. worked hard, just to make the silver in the Jia family's treasury more. But the appearance of eating will not be as ugly as Jia Yu.

Jia Huan had objections to the distribution of Jia Amnesty. handed the plan he sorted out late to Jia Yu, "Uncle, let's take a look at the cooperation plan first." "It's a roundabout strategy.

Jia Yu took a stack of texts from Jia Huan's hand, took up his reading glasses and looked at it slowly.

Time passes. Jia Huan had lunch at Jia Yu's place before leaving.

…

On the afternoon of the third day of March, the sky was sunny and breezy. Jia Huan got Jia Mu Charai's permission on the third day. Jia Huan took two young people, Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi, Jiang Xingsheng and other ten outstanding teenagers in the training class of clan studies, plus five children of Jiafu, including Jia Cong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun, and a group of eighteen people set out from the clan studies and entered the Jia Mansion from the East Corner Gate.

Located to the north of the East Point Gate, the Steward's Office is a courtyard consisting of several spacious, bright houses. The houses are blue bricks and glazed tiles, with cornices and columns, showing the heritage and wealth of the century-old family of Jiafu.

Jia Lian waited in the steward's office with the little servant early, and was drinking tea with Lai Da, Lin Zhixiao, Shan Daliang, Wu Xindeng, and Zhang Cai.

The housekeepers, stewards, and leaders of the stewardship office all received a notice yesterday: This afternoon, the third master of Huan will come to check the accounts. Who would dare not be present on such an occasion? A black pot is pushed over, and it is difficult not to carry it.

Jia Lian was dressed in a brocade robe, dressed as a rich son, sitting in the main hall and drinking tea.

Several of the good stewards and leaders begged one after another: "Second master, I will do my best for the house in the past, and I dare not slack off." Today, the third master checked the accounts, and hoped that the second master would help say a few good words. ”

Jia Lian soothed: "What can I do with you?" I know. ”

The stewards and leaders said: "The second master is noble." ”

Jia Lian smiled and glanced at Lai Da, who had been in a good time. I shook my head in my heart. He was fooling around outside the day before yesterday, and when he came back, he found out that something had happened in the house: Jia Huan wanted to check Lai Da. This is a manifestation of the intensification of contradictions. In fact, as far as his heart is concerned, he is too lazy to care about this now. What does it have to do with him?

Jia Huande's uncle Wang Ziteng took a fancy to him and wanted to take away part of the power in Jiafu's foreign affairs, what could he do? Unpressable. As for Cha Lai Da, it is just to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so as not to prevent the "government decree" from being carried out in the future. But his father told him to come and see it today.

And he learned from Sister Feng that the old lady was afraid that she had thoughts about Jia Huan. Because, the old lady's strategy for Jia Huan is: good food and drink, but don't let him ask about the affairs of the house. If Jia Huan wants to make things bigger this time and wants to put Lai Da in order, the old lady is afraid that she will use means to suppress Jia Huan. After all, the Lai family is her descendant. She will not allow the Lai family to fall.

This is probably the reason why Lai Da has no fear now.

Jia Lian smiled in his heart. It's good for him to watch the play today, and he will go back and report to his father.

Lai is more than 50 years old, wearing a blue shirt, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, and calmly drinking tea. He's ready.

At this time, a small servant outside walked in quickly, "The third master is here." ”

There was a sound of chairs pulling up, and everyone stood up, ready to face Jia Huan, who came to check the accounts.

Lai Da looked around and sighed in his heart, this is the deterrent power of an eleven-year-old man. Reluctantly stood up.

Jia Lian didn't sit still, and slowly stood up. He said that he was Jia Huan's second brother Lian, but now, he is already at a disadvantage. He was not willing to leave a bad impression on Jia Huan for a little thing.

"Good afternoon, Third Master."

"I've seen the third master."

"The third master is here."

In a series of greetings with various moods, but still flattering and eager, Jia Huan and his party appeared at the door of the steward's office, then the courtyard, and then the hall. Jia Huan stepped over the threshold and walked in. The figure dragged on the afternoon sun for a long time.

He is still dressed as a standard reader: wearing a black square scarf, a blue straight jacket, and a calm and calm expression.

Jia Lian took the initiative to speak first, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan is here." ”

Jia Huan bowed and said with a smile: "I've seen Second Brother Lian." I haven't seen Second Brother Lian for a long time. ”

Jia Lian beckoned Jia Huan to sit down, and said with a smile: "You are busy with the affairs of the clan after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I want to disturb you?" I heard Feng Ziying say that you sell preserved eggs. Ha ha. ”

Jia Huan smiled and nodded.

Then, Jia Cong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and Jia Lian greeted each other. In the end, it was the servants who were in charge of the situation who spoke to Jia Huan. The atmosphere was slightly stagnant. The third master came to check the big butler with the "Shang Fang Sword" today. The big housekeeper can check it, but they can't check these small fish and shrimp? Who is not worried, who dares to be disrespectful?

Jia Huan stretched out his hand and motioned, "Sit down!" ”

Only the five big butlers dared to sit, and the others were all standing, and when they saw Jia Huan looking over, they all smiled.

Jia Huan didn't care, and said straight to the point: "I reported Lai Da Greed in front of the old lady - the silver in the filthy father, you have a clue, you can hand it over to me in public now, a clue of one hundred taels of silver." ”

There was silence in the hall.

Lai Da, who was sitting at the head of Jia Lian and Jia Huan, could no longer maintain his calm, and as soon as Jia Huan came up, he said that he was greedy and dirty, which was simply unreasonable, and said angrily: "Third master, if there is no evidence, please don't talk nonsense." When I was working for the Jia family, there was no you at that time. ”

Jia Huan looked at Lai Da calmly, and said with a smile: "The longer the working hours." The more money you greed. ”

Lai Da patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, and said angrily: "Third master, don't spew blood!" The old lady asked you to investigate, and I will check it for you, but you can't find out anything, I see how you explain it to the old lady. ”

Jia Huan applauded, "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”。 Many stewards and leaders in the hall were silent. I could only hear Jia Huan's applause.

Jia Huan sneered: "You are only allowed to rely on your power to make a fortune, and you are not allowed to say two words to you?" You are only allowed to use the rules of the house to make things difficult for me, and I am not allowed to use the old lady's orders and arrows to embarrass you? Your grandfather Lai's face is so big! Qian Cheng, you come out and say. ”

A middle-aged man in his thirties stepped out of the crowd. Tsing Yi small hat, white and chubby. Similar to Qian Huai. It is Qian Huai's father, Qian Cheng, who is now working in the Jia family's treasury. It is under the filial piety of the second housekeeper Lin Zhi.

The stewards and leaders in the hall all gasped: Why is Qian Cheng here? It's an insider, and a lot of things are well known.

However, now in the stewardship, there are basically the level of stewards and leaders. For example, Wu Xingdeng's steward Dai Liang and so on. Qian Cheng is just a slave who works, and he can't enter the hall at the level.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Qian Cheng was just waiting at the gate of the courtyard and followed Jia Huan and his party in.

Qian Cheng knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Back to the third master, the year before last, Uncle Zhen of Dongfu bought a few silk shops in the competition with the Marquis of Ruyang next door on Qipan Street, and spent a total of 3,000 taels. Before the Spring Festival this year, Uncle Rong only got 1,200 taels of silver for selling these shops. As far as I know, the Lin family, the original owner, only sold 2,000 taels of silver the year before last. Lai Da and his brother Lai Sheng were greedy for 1,000 taels of silver in the hands of Uncle Zhen. ”

"Ahh This is a fierce material.

Lai Da looked confused. He was actually ready, but how did Qian Cheng know about such a hidden old thing?

Jia Qiang was already red-eyed and looked at Lai Da. In vain, he relied on his grandfather one by one. This ****. Even his uncle's money dared to cheat. (To be continued.) )
