Chapter 221: Counterattack! Counterattack! (c)
Jia Huan didn't seem to feel the atmosphere in the flower hall, and said loudly: "Back to grandmother, grandson reported that Lai Da Butler was greedy for the silver in the father." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info ask my grandmother to send someone to investigate thoroughly. ”
There was an uproar in the hall. Jia Huan didn't even say why. Simple, brutal direct report Lai Da.
Jia Baoyu snuggled in Mrs. Wang's arms and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Huan Laosan didn't say that he was good.
Mrs. Wang's eyelids were raised, drinking tea, pondering the situation. Brother Huan'er's complaint to Lai's family is very easy to understand. That's the character he is.
Mrs. Xing's face was stunned. She didn't expect Jia Huan to be rectified. This is a bit unexpected and reasonable. Who didn't know about Mama Lai's "counterattack" years ago?
Jia Mu couldn't cry or laugh, "You brother! Jia Huan actually gave Lai Da eye medicine in front of her. This is revenge on Mama Lai's complaint before, right?
Everyone in the crowd was still worried just now, but immediately, after a while, the worry became a reality. There was a look of shock on his face, thinking that Jia Huan had seen through the Lai family's instigation of Baoyu to pull him on his back.
But this is actually the deification of Jia Huan. Jia Huan turned the spearhead at this time and directly aimed at the Lai family for a very simple reason: he originally planned to remove the parasites on the Lai family, the Jia Mansion. Just take advantage of this plan to brush up on a wave of attacks.
Moreover, if he wants to dominate the power of Jiafu in an influential way, he will first have irreconcilable contradictions with Laida. At the beginning of February, Lai Da deliberately made things difficult for him in the study of the clan, which was to once again highlight this fundamental contradiction.
Jia Huan said it to his face, and Jia's mother couldn't pretend that she didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan'er, what did he do to offend you?" ”
The thinking of the superior person is different from the perspective of looking at the problem. Jia Mu's first reaction was that Lai Da had offended Jia Huan. As for the greed for the silver in the public, just listen to it. It's just a head.
When Mother Jia said this, the maids and mothers-in-law in the hall all laughed, "The third master must be angry with Steward Lai." So let the old lady call the shots. ”
Many of the rest looked at Lai: she had to be glad she was here today. Who in the house doesn't know that the hands of the third master of the ring are very dark!
Jia Huan said righteously: "Grandmother, it's not that the housekeeper offended me. Instead, Sun Er recently discovered that Steward Lin (Lin Zhixiao), who was in charge of the treasury, and Steward Wu (Wu Xingdeng), who was in charge of the treasury, all listened to his orders. Too much power. He's definitely going to steal from himself. This can be seen from Lai Sheng, the governor of Dongfu. He was greedy for no less than 5,000 taels of silver from Dongfu. This is still because the old lady is kind and Brother Rong is young and has not investigated thoroughly. ”
Jia Huan threw out the "bloodline theory".
Your brother is a greedy criminal, and you're not much better, aren't you? In China, the theory of descent is very marketable. For example, Chen Qun's nine-product Zhongzheng system, the nobles and gate valves of the Sui and Tang dynasties. For example, the current family reputation of the dynasty, etc.
What Jia Huan said makes a lot of sense when you think about it. But more people saw his words as an outlet for their dissatisfaction with the Lai family. After all, in the past, it was relied on Mama to attack the family science, and then it was relied on to make it difficult for the third master.
Aunt Xue just listened to it and drank tea with a smile on her face. This brother.
Jia Mu shook her head with a smile and said, "Listen, it's another basket of truths." Looking around, he found everyone in the crowd behind the chair, and said with a smile: "You can make amends for Brother Huan'er for your own house." Let him deflat. ”
The Lai family is supported by her. It is impossible to check because of Jia Huan's words.
Lai's family is a servant woman in her forties and fifties, dressed in decent clothes, and a housekeeper. The people in Jia's mansion are called "Aunt Lai", and hurriedly walked out and bowed to Jia Huan, "I have offended the third master, please forgive the third master." ”
Lai's words are very polite, but the attitude is very arrogant. First, she didn't kneel down to make amends. The Lai family is a slave of the Jia family. Kneeling is as it should be. Standing is the dignity given by the master. Second, when it comes to making amends, it doesn't say how to make amends. Just a fluttering word.
Lai everyone's hearts are indeed a little jealous of Jia Huan. Most of the fame and prestige of the third master of Huan in Jiafu came out of struggle. She watched almost every time. When Jia Huan opened his mouth just now, he was also a little scared and afraid. The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. That's no joke.
However, as soon as the old lady's statement came out, the fear in her heart disappeared. Obviously, the old lady protects the Lai family.
Of course, Jia Huan didn't sell it, and sneered, "An apology is useful, what do you want the law for?" Aunt Lai really wants to apologize, go back and ask Steward Lai to return the silver that I have swallowed in my Jia family over the years. "It's an unrelenting attitude.
Jia Huan said like "the truth is in my hands, I represent justice", but at this time, none of these people in the flower hall have become elites. Of course, except for the maids and little masters who are not familiar with the skills of struggle.
Everyone Lai was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Huan's almost reprimanding attitude at this time, but he was just an eleven-year-old boy! With an old lady protecting the Lai family, what is she afraid of? Immediately ignored Jia Huan and explained to Jia's mother: "Old lady, at the beginning of the month, I lost money because of the clan learning to make preserved eggs, and the third master wanted to withdraw the support silver of the clan study at one time. I was in charge of the house, so I asked the third master to go to the meeting room and say face-to-face. I think the third master is not happy. ”
Jia Mu was suddenly a little stunned, it turned out that the crux of the problem was here. At the same time, he was slightly curious, turned his head and asked the mandarin duck next to him: "Is there such a thing?" ”
Mandarin duck is actually a little crying and laughing in his heart now. The third master passed the test smoothly today, and he should go out early to do his own business, but he threw out one topic after another here. A few strokes of the second master of Bao pitted and pressed it. Now he is pointing the finger at the Lai family. It's clearly the rhythm of things. But, Third Master, is this really good?
Mandarin Duck knew in her heart that Jia Huan was a disaster today, but she was also Jia's mother's secretary, and said impartially: "Hmm." Talking about the family children and teenagers who organized the steward training class organized by Jia Huan, they lost money selling pine flower preserved eggs and made it difficult for Lai.
She knew that the old lady didn't want to see the third master in her heart. When this matter spread in the mansion at the beginning of the month, she did not tell the old lady. Others, except for Mama Lai, who dares to speak ill of the third master in front of the old lady?
After listening to this, Jia Mu nodded, and looked at Jia Huan with a smile, "Brother Huan, Lai Da is also very kind." I'm afraid that you will lose all the money you have learned, so I'll give you a reminder. ”
Everyone's laughter. Somewhat proud.
Jia Huan arched his hand to Jia's mother and said, "The ancestors don't know that the grandson just let the young man of the clan practice his hands. Losing money in the early days is just a stage that must be experienced. They're all teenagers. Now Songhua preserved eggs have made a profit. I turned around and sent the ledger to the old lady to see. ”
"Ahh There was an exclamation in the hall. Not only Baoyu, Baochai, Yingchun, and Xichun showed surprised expressions. The same is true of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others. The maids and mothers-in-law all exclaimed. Who doesn't know that preserved eggs are at a loss? The ledger does not need to be seen. With the signboard of the third master, it is impossible to lie. As for Tanchun and Daiyu, it is usual, Jia Huan and Tanchun said that day, and Daiyu listened.
The winner does not need to be blamed.
Jia Mu was speechless for a while. are all profitable, since Jia Huan is what he says.
Jia Huan said again: "Grandmother, my grandson was in Dongzhuang Town for disaster relief back then, and all I had in my hand was one or two hundred thousand silver. How is Dongzhuang Town now? It is one of the most prosperous towns in western Beijing. What is the loss of a few hundred taels of silver? It's not that Steward Lai doesn't know. He's clever in making things difficult for me. ”
What is the loss of a few hundred taels of silver? This is very domineering! Very proud! However, well-informed people in the house in Jia's mansion knew that Jia Huan was not lying. The facts of Dongzhuang Town are in front of you. Dongzhuang Town is very famous in the capital.
"All the money in my hands is one or two hundred thousand silver" This sentence refreshes the three views of everyone in the inner house of Jiafu. All people recognized Jia Huan as a good hand at studying the imperial examination. After all, he is the youngest person in the dynasty. I didn't expect him to have the ability to manipulate one or two hundred thousand silver!
In the years when there were no newspapers, not many people knew about the amount of silver taels for disaster relief in Dongzhuang Town.
While confirming this is another fact, everyone remembered a person who was not present today: Grandma Lian. People want to hear what she has to say. With the sharp mouth of the second grandmother of Lian, I am afraid that I can express everyone's feelings at this time.
In addition to all these ideas, there are also things that are certain at the same time: Steward Lai is indeed making things difficult for Jia Huan. For a person who can operate with tens of thousands of taels of silver, isn't it a trivial matter to lose two or three hundred taels of silver?
The smiles on everyone's faces have disappeared at this time. suppressed the surprise in his heart that he made money selling preserved eggs, and looked at Jia Mu worriedly. All of this depends on what the old lady thinks.
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Huan deeply, as if the tiger guarding the territory reacted when he saw the provocateur, and said in a deep voice: "I won't look at the accounts." Since you reported Lai Da's corruption, then you should go and investigate. ”
Jia Huan nodded, and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely find out the rats in the house." I laughed in my heart.
The result announced by Jia Mu almost didn't make Lai everyone slump on the ground. Not only did I ask in my heart, how could this be?
Cuimo, the maid of the spring, stood on the opposite side, seeing the changes in everyone's expressions from beginning to end. smiled in my heart: Look at what you can, are you still proud? Have you learned the methods of the third master? Cluck.
After Jia Huan finished talking about the matter, he walked out of the flower hall with Qingwen with a complicated mood with his head held high, with a victorious attitude.
Jia Mu said lightly: "Everyone is scattered!" "Take the mandarin duck and leave the flower hall. The mandarin duck sighed in his heart. Third master, it's too much!
The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth curled, and the old lady had an idea in her heart. Leave with Baoyu, the maid, Aunt Xue, and Baochai.
Daiyu sullenly took Zijuan back to the room alone. The figure is somewhat lonely. Baoyu looked at Daiyu's beautiful shadow, wanted to comfort and apologize, and finally followed her mother.
Sanchun walked with him and went to the Baoxia Hall behind the east courtyard. A few maids around him chattered and laughed, happily. The second master of Bao broke the turmoil caused by the jade today, and the third master was involved, but the third master is really powerful! Counterattack in a row, get a good card in a row.
Tanchun smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned his head and swept his eyes, and said angrily: "Okay, you little hooves, let's say a few words one by one!" The second brother was good to you all in the past, right? ”
Yingchun's big Si Qi said with a smile: "Although the second master is careful and proper, he is not as powerful as the third master." ”
The maids all burst into laughter. Awesome, this word is a new word in the mouth of the third master. The chess is just right. Bao Er Ye is careful and approachable, but what's the use! The third master said a word, who dares to be presumptuous to the girls now with those mothers-in-law and wet nurses? One by one, they are honest.
Tanchun smiled and shook his head.
After the third brother suppressed the second brother, the spearhead of the game was won again by the Lai family. The counterattack was very successful. The next situation in the house is indeed exciting. The third brother is about to carry out his transformation plan! (To be continued.) )
