Chapter 227: Deposed and Won
The position of the chief manager of Rongguo Mansion is like a tempting carrot hanging in front of the steward and leader of Jia Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoRegardless of whether you can eat it or not, everyone wants to try to take a bite. In the past two or three days, the stewards and leaders at all levels in Jiafu are looking for all kinds of opportunities to contact, chat, and send Lai Da's black materials.
According to the gossip in Jiafu, it is rumored that Lai Da has hundreds of corrupt and dirty evidence falling into the hands of the eldest master.
The foundation of the Lai family, which had been operating among the servants of the Jia family for decades, collapsed at a perceptible speed. After Jia Yu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lian all expressed their dissatisfaction with Lai Da, who of the slaves of the Jia family would stand with Lai Da? It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
The net hanging over Lai's head is tightening. The Lai family, who were in the net, also began to save themselves after secretly discussing at home.
At this time, Jia Huan was in Wendao Academy, meeting teachers and classmates leisurely and relaxedly, reading and studying in the newly built library.
His elder stayed in Jiafu with Qian Huai. However, no one would believe that Jia Huan knew nothing about the affairs inside Jia's mansion.
On the evening of March 19. Ningrong Street, Ningguo Fuzhong. Jia Rong invited Jia Qiang, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Lan to drink in the back garden. In the twilight of spring, the stars are shining. In Huifang Garden, the trees are lush and the environment is quiet.
Jia Rong hugged the singer beside her, raised her glass and drank with everyone, and said with a smile: "Are you saying it's ridiculous? Lai Da actually asked his brother Lai Sheng to beg me and ask me to help say something. Hey. This old thing. ā
"Haha." Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Ling all laughed. A few days ago, Jia Qiong took someone over to borrow something, but it was actually discussed with Second Master Lian.
Jia Qiang smiled and drank. The title of "Grandpa Lai", this person is yesterday's yellow flower.
ā¦
In the east cross courtyard, the lights are bright. Since Jia Lian caught Wang Xifeng's sore foot last time, he has been sleeping at home honestly for the past two nights.
Wang Xifeng took a shower and changed into his home clothes: the upper body was a pink and white shirt, and the bottom was wearing light-colored loose trousers. It seems that she is more and more slender and plump. Buttocks augmentation. The face is charming and gratuitous.
Jia Lian sat in the chair drinking tea, couldn't help coughing, and looked at Sister Feng'er.
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian with a smile and sat on the bed. Ping'er came over to serve tea. Wang Xifeng picked up the tea lid and said, "Second Master Lian had a big temper before, and he scared the housekeeper Lai to kneel on the ground. Aunt Lai begged me to come here today. What do you guys think outside? ā
The Lai aunt in Wang Xifeng's mouth is not Lai everyone's, but Lai Mama.
Jia Lian smiled, "How much silver did she give you?" "Sister Feng'er's temperament, he knows it very well: take money to do things.
Wang Xifeng didn't hide it from Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "This is my silver, don't think about it." Aunt Lai gave me 1,000 taels of silver. Please make peace. Let the second master of Lian raise his noble hand. ā
Jia Lian shook his head with a smile, it must be more than that, and said: "The meaning of Brother Huan and the eldest master is to join forces to copy the Lai family." He followed behind for some soup.
These murderous words made Wang Xifeng and Ping'er both silent in surprise for a few seconds. After a while, Wang Xifeng came back to his senses and hesitated: "This is impossible, right?" The old lady can make? ā
How is this possible? How could the old lady let Lai's house be copied, isn't that the face of the old lady? She thinks that at most, she will just remove Lai **** from the position of big housekeeper. The old lady will protect the Lai family. Therefore, it is better to collect some money to fool the current turmoil, and everyone can get by. Brother Huan'er took revenge on Lai Da, wasn't it over last time?
Jia Lian laughed, he knew what his wife was thinking, and he also thought this way when he saw his father at that time, and said disdainfully: "Naive! Immature! Sister Feng, hurry up and return the silver to Aunt Lai. It's a foregone conclusion. The old man will go back to the old lady tomorrow. You two will wait and see. ā
In fact, Jia Lian didn't know what his father and Jia Huan's specific plans were. But this did not prevent him from pretending to be a force in front of his wife and concubine. Looking at Sister Feng and Ping'er's shocked appearance, they were really refreshed! swept away the decline he had suppressed in the past few days.
He had confidence in Jia Huan's methods.
Wang Xifeng was afraid of Jia Huan, but he was not afraid of Jia Lian, so he gave Jia Lian a sneer, and sneered: "Oh, the second master is proud!" As he spoke, Heping glanced at each other. There was a lot of doubt in my heart, and at the same time, I was surprised and surprised. If "raiding the house" was Jia Huan's intention, then she would not speak for the Lai family tomorrow. She was not interested in angering Jia Huan.
Ping'er nodded vigorously. She actually believed the words of her master. Because, the third master once told her: It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord.
With the third master's hard character, since he wants to deal with the Lai family, he will never give up halfway. And with the means of the third master, it will never be in vain!
ā¦
On the morning of March 20, spring and sunshine were beautiful. A gentle breeze blows through the treetops.
Jia Yu came out of his outer study on Jiafu East Road, entered the second gate, and went to Jia's mother's residence.
The news spread. People kept entering the inner house of Jia's mansion and rushed to the side hall where Jia's mother was. Everyone understands that the eldest man is on the field in person, and the recent turmoil has reached the time to lift the cards.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
In the morning, the old lady was laughing with her two daughters-in-law, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, and Qin Keqing. The side hall is luxuriously furnished, brightly lit, and the air has the softness and relaxation of late spring. Completely unaware of the storm outside. Baoyu, Baochai, Daiyu and others were led by Li Kun to do needlework and laugh in the small hall next door.
Jia Mugang said that Wang Xifeng told a joke about the poor people in the capital, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Brother Feng, this mouth is clever." If you offend the readers, I don't care about you. ā
Everyone in the hall laughed.
As he was talking, he heard the voices of the waiting maids and mothers-in-law outside, "Say hello to the eldest master." ā
Jia Yu nodded and slowly entered the side hall. The emotions in my heart were slightly agitated.
After Jia Yu came in, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others all stood up. Seriously calculated, Jia Yu is the master of Rongguo Mansion. It's just that his second room is pressed on the second room for various reasons.
With the arrival of Jia Yu, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly tense. The heartbeat of many maids and mothers-in-law accelerated slightly, holding their breath.
Jia Yu first greeted Jia's mother, "My son has seen his mother. "A few more pleasantries with the others. Everyone sat down.
Mother Jia frowned slightly, the things outside the house, the mandarin ducks told her, she knew the intention of the eldest son, and said lightly: "Sit down." ā
"Thank you, Mother." Jia Yu sat down on top of Mrs. Xing. A little maid came up to serve tea. Jia Yu took a sip, took out a stack of confessions from his sleeve, and said, "My son has something to do and go back to his mother." Recently, I heard that Lai Da was greedy for 6,000 taels of silver. I don't believe this number. I checked, and in the past 20 years, Lai Da has embezzled nearly 50,000 taels of silver from my Jia family. These are all evidence. It just doesn't make sense! ā
Jia Yu's tone was stern and murderous.
Lai everyone in the crowd was stumbling in his heart, and his legs were a little weak. It is normal for a master to kill a slave in his house. What's more, she knew in her heart that the Lai family was greedy - there was a matter of polluting the money in the mansion.
Jia Mu glanced at this eldest son who was not liked by her, and said slowly: "Then what do you want to do?" ā
Jia Yu said sharply: "Although my Jia family treats people generously, they don't follow the rules!" You can't let the minions below do whatever they want. The money that the Lai family swallows will be spit out. The silver is not enough, so he mortgages the assets of the Lai family. ā
Jia Mu snorted dissatisfiedly and criticized: "When did you pay so much attention to the affairs of Gongzhong?" Isn't it all your father, the old man left behind by your grandfather? Why, seeing that Brother Huan'er suppressed Lai Da once, you are also going to bully their family? Rub your nose on your face! Do you all think I'm confused? ā
Jia Yu got up without hesitation, and knelt on the ground with "poof", "My son doesn't dare." The evidence is conclusive, and the son doesn't dare to ignore it! Otherwise, the silver treasury in my Jia family will become someone else's, and you can take it if you want. What kind of system is that? This is the testimony of more than 100 people, please look at the mother. ā
When Jia Yu knelt down, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others in the hall were all slightly moved. The maids and servants all inhaled the cool air lightly, "hiss--! "The lord is here for real, and he wants to be ruthless.
Everyone's body trembled slightly.
Think about it, is Jia Yu's face important, or is the face of the Jia family's slave Lai family important? Even if Jia's mother doesn't like her eldest son Jia Yu anymore, she has to consider this. She is eccentric, that is between Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's two sons.
Jia's mother's face changed slightly, and the testimony of more than 100 people, I'm afraid it's not fake. Ordered the mandarin duck to bring it. Flip it gently. The atmosphere in the living room was silent.
Wang Xifeng, who had been very active just now and was telling jokes, was silent at this time. She kind of understands Jia Huan's routine: inseparable intimacy! No matter how her father-in-law is, he is also the son of an old lady. No matter how hard the Lai family works, they are only slaves, and they are the ones who are at fault.
Mama Lai came in on crutches in such a silent atmosphere, and when she saw Jia Yu kneeling on the ground, she couldn't, she knelt on the ground tremblingly, and she didn't defend herself, crying: "Please be kind to the old lady!" ā
Lai everyone's family also came out of the servants, knelt beside her mother-in-law, kowtowed vigorously, bang, bang, "I beg the old lady to be merciful in the past." Give us one more chance. ā
Everyone in the hall couldn't bear to look at it one by one. The Lai family is greedy, but after all, it has done a lifetime for the house, and in the end, 50,000 taels of silver will be recovered.
Mother Jia stretched out her hand to help Mama Lai, "Get up, get up." You're seventy or eighty, and you're still on your knees. ā
Mandarin duck and amber stepped forward to help Mama Lai up. Jia Mu gave another seat.
Mama Lai sat on a low stool, tears in her eyes, and said, "My unfilial son guards and steals, and I don't have the face to see the old lady." Just thinking that if the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, he couldn't bear it, and he begged the old lady with a shy face: let him go. ā
Mother Jia wiped her eyes with emotion, she thought of her youngest daughter Jia Min. nodded, and said to his eldest son Jia Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, "You get up." I've read all of your evidence. Let the Lai family make up 14,000 taels, and the last time Brother Huan checked, he made up 20,000 taels. Let's stop it. Do not mention it again in the future. ā
The servants and housekeepers in the hall said, "The old lady is kind. "That's more than half of the money.
Mama Lai and the two of Lai's family knelt on the ground again to thank Jiamu. I was relieved and only paid another 14,000 taels, and the Lai family still made it up.
Jia Yu had a very good attitude and said, "Yes, mother." He added: "Lai Da has done such a shameless thing now." The son suggested that he be allowed to go home to recuperate. The candidate for the chief housekeeper is also requested to be appointed by the mother as soon as possible. ā
This is the meaning of the question. No one thought that Jia Yu's proposal to kick Lai Da home was excessive. are so greedy, the location is definitely not guaranteed.
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Yu deeply, and kicked the question to Jia Yu, "Who do you think is suitable for the position of the chief butler?" ā
This question made Mrs. Xing's heart beat fast. She was excited, excited. Promote a big housekeeper, and her husband's power in the house will be greatly increased.
Mrs. Wang glanced at it and said in her heart: Idiot.
Wang Xifeng's eyes narrowed, Brother Huan'er's abacus was good, but Mama Lai knelt down and begged, the old lady was soft-hearted. It was still the same result she expected. It's just to put Lai **** off the position of big housekeeper.
The old lady was testing whether the eldest master had the intention of seizing power at this time. Otherwise, would it take so much effort to get Lai Da down and work in vain? If the eldest master doesn't deal with it well, the Lai family will turn the tables around.
For example, the old lady can help Lai Sheng, the former housekeeper of the East Mansion. The reason why Lai Sheng was rectified was that he drank alcohol during Brother Zhen's funeral and was disrespectful to the main family. This crime can be big or small.
Jia Yu almost said the words "Lin Zhixiao", but when he remembered Jia Huan's plan, he pressed the words to his lips and said tamely: "My son listens to his mother's orders." As long as it's not Lai Da or Lai Sheng. ā
Aunt Xue, You Shi, and Qin Keqing watched the excitement from the sidelines. Seeing Jia Yu's words, he shook his head in his heart. This has a strong Jia Huan style. A few days ago, Jia Huan said in front of the old lady: The grandson listens to his grandmother's orders.
Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, relieved at will. She has been taught the skills of her concubine. She can be cheated if she doesn't speak.
Jia Mu blocked Jia Yu with a word, and was stunned for two or three seconds. What level of her son, she doesn't know? She also saw that Jia Huan was indispensable behind today's incident. After thinking about it, he said, "Let Shan Daliang take care of it first." ā
Lin Zhixiao's family is in the inner house as the number one internal manager, and it is not very appropriate for her to help Lin Zhixiao up.
Jia Yu answered, and after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left. Jia Mu did not keep it. Instead, he comforted Mama Lai with kind words for a while.
Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others in the side hall all understood that this turmoil was settled. The Lai family made Jia Huan miserable. accompanied 20,000 taels of silver. also took the position of the big housekeeper of Laida. Even if Mama Lai still has face in front of the old lady, it is a foregone conclusion that the Lai family will lose power in Jiafu so far.
And Wang Xifeng is measuring Jia Huan's goal in his heart, is it considered to be achieved? Looks like a big win. It seems to be different from what Second Master Lian said! However, even so, the method is remarkable.
The maids and servants in the hall were in different moods. The storm dissipated, and a reshuffle of the slave world of Jiafu came to an end. In addition to increasing the talking points, what is even more is the prestige of the eldest master and the third master of Huan.
ā¦
At this time, Jia Yu hummed a little song and went to the outer study to find Jia Lian.
At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the spring was in full swing. Mama Lai and everyone looked back at the magnificent house of Jiafu, and their feelings were complicated. sighed softly, and there was a feeling of the rest of my life.
At this moment, in a house in Dongzhuang Town at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain, Jia Huan was playing chess with Lin Zhiyun with a teacup.
Lin Zhiyun wore a veil and held white. Jia Huan is black.
Jia Huan stretched out his hand and landed a piece on the chessboard, smiling slightly. Is it really over? (To be continued.) )
