The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 238
Amidst the happy faces of Lai Da and the other three, Mother Jia was escorted in by an old nun dressed in silk and satin.

In the main hall, Jia Jing and others hurriedly got up to greet Jia Mu.

Helping Jia Mu to the upper seat and sitting down, Jia Jing found another seat and sat down.

Afterwards, Jia Jing asked with a smile: "Why did the old lady come to grandson today?"

Holding the crutches in her hand, Mother Jia pretended to be angry and said, "If the old lady doesn't come over, Brother Jing, are you planning to never step into the Rongguo Mansion next door again, aren't you?"

Then go to Rongguo Mansion?

Jia Jing sneered in her heart, is she looking for anger again?

After all, what happened to Xue Baochai last time is still vivid in my mind!
Although I have vented my anger, I still feel a little unhappy in my heart.

However, now that Jia's mother was in front of her, although Jia Jing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she still smiled and said: "Old lady, you are joking! Grandson is from the Rongguo Mansion, how could he be like what you said? How about stepping into Rongguo Mansion?"

"That's good, that's good!"

Hearing this, Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Mother Jia called the old nanny who helped her over, and introduced to Jia Jing with a smile: "This is Nanny Lai from behind. Their family has been born in our family since their ancestors." , can be regarded as an old man in the house!"

Nanny Lai hurried forward to salute Jia Jing and Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "The old lady is flattering us all, calling us slaves and servants, I am really touched!"

During the whole process, Nanny Lai never glanced at Lai Da and the other three who were kneeling below.

What Mammy Lai didn't expect was that Jia Jing didn't express anything after receiving the etiquette from her family, which made Nanny Lai's heart beat a little.

Why didn't Jia Jing play cards according to common sense? !
In the past, when I thought of her Nanny Lai, even when I went to the two Dukes' mansions in Ning Rong next door, whoever was in charge of the house would always treat me politely?
Even when he went to Jia Mu's place, for Jia Zheng's sake, at least he had to move a brocade stool for his family to sit on. Why did he look like this when he came to the Marquis Wu's mansion?
Nanny Lai murmured in her heart.

At the first place, Mother Jia looked at Lai Da Lai Er and Lai Shangrong who were kneeling in the hall, and asked, "What's the matter with you three?"

Hearing Mother Jia's inquiry, Lai Da and the other three hurriedly cried and said: "Back to the old lady, it was me and the three of you who made a ghost lose your mind, and did something wrong in a moment of confusion. That's why the Marquis punished me to wait here and kneel." on!"

After some words, he first found a reason, then admitted his mistake, and finally said that he was punished to kneel here. The words turned around, but in the end, he directly sentenced Jia Jing for his own fault.

Relying on Jia's mother being here, Lai Da thought he could suppress Jia Jing, so he played a clever trick.

The so-called treacherous people and slippery horses are exactly like this!

Just as Lai Da expected, after hearing what he said, Mother Jia frowned, but she still forgave her and said: "You guys get up first, today is just to give you a memory, but in the future Never do it again!"

The trick worked!
Lai Da and the three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Hey, yes! I will never dare to do it again in the future!"

After all, he wanted to break away from the big hands of the soldiers pressing down on him and stood up.

Earn one, earn two, earn three...

Can't break free!

Immediately, Lai Da turned his head and looked at Jia Jing with a perplexed expression, "Master Hou, look at this..."

Jia Jing was unmoved at all.

Over there, Nanny Lai also stepped forward and said: "Brother Jing, since the old lady has already spoken, do you think you should ask the soldiers to let go first? I guarantee that they will not dare to do so in the future." Do it again!"

"Bold!"

Behind Jia Jing, Shuan Zhu, who had a dull and honest face, suddenly took a step forward, "What are you, you dare to call us Lord Hou like that? Are you really old, and you can't even remember the rank?"

Shuan Zhu yelled sharply, which startled Nanny Lai.

After hearing Shuan Zhu's words clearly, Nanny Lai couldn't help but get angry, pointed at Shuan Zhu and said, "You silly boy..."

"Put your hands down!" Shuan Zhu stretched out his hand to press the long knife at his waist, "An old slave, where did he have the guts to point at me?!"

As he said that, Shuan Zhu's eyes flashed fiercely, "If you can't control your claws, then there's no need! I'll cut them off for you now!"

Shuan Zhu's sudden outburst really startled Nanny Lai and Lai Da three in the hall.

For this, Jia Jing gave a approving look.

Then, without waiting for the members of the Lai family to complain to Mother Jia, Jia Jing said, "Shuan Zhu can't say that, Nanny Lai is an old man in the house after all, we still have to show some dignity!"

With a smile on Jia Jing's face, she glanced at Nanny Lai with a half-smile, and continued: "However, I don't bother to list all the things that the Lai family has done in these years, so you can lead others first." Copy their house and talk about it!"

At first, upon hearing Jia Jing's previous words, the members of the Lai family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this test had passed.

But soon, Jia Jing's words behind them drove them directly into the ice hole from Xia Tian, ​​and they were all icy cold.

"Copy...copy the house?"

Nanny Lai pulled an ugly smile on her face, "Master Hou is scaring them?"

As if she didn't hear Nanny Lai's words, Jia Jing didn't even look at her, and instead signaled to Shuan Zhu next to her, "Bring more soldiers, and don't let anyone out!"

"Yes!"

Shuan Zhu bowed to accept the order, Dang even went out to gather Jia Jing's personal soldiers, and led them straight to Lai's house behind Ningrong Street.

There is no need to answer.

Jia Jing told everyone with practical actions that she was not joking, she was serious!

Jia's mother was also shocked.

He hurriedly said: "Brother Jing, what kind of thing is it? Do you want to do something to the old man who has been in the house for so many years? Can't you let them go?"

"Old lady, let's just watch first, and you'll know after a while, what happened to his family this time!"

Jia Jing didn't let go.

Outside, Shuan Zhu led the soldiers past quickly, and the sound of steel rubbing on the armor made a "swish" sound...

Several members of the Lai family were already slumped on the ground.

I never thought that I would end up in such a field.

At this moment, Laifu from outside came in carrying a dark blue cotton furoshiki with flowers.

Respectfully presented the burden to Jia Jing, said: "Master Hou, the Ministry of Industry returned the things!"

"Well," Jia Jing nodded, "Let's show the things to the old lady first, so that she can know what kind of crime the Lai family has committed that deserves to be killed!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Jia Jing's order, Lai Fudang even opened the fur skin, revealing one of the mahogany boxes about a square meter in size.

Pulling out the cover of the mahogany box, Laifu put the box on the table next to Jia Mu, and said respectfully: "Please look at it, old ancestor!"

In the mahogany box, five lifelike Buddha statues carved in ivory, standing or sitting, came into Jia Mu's eyes!

Next to him, Jia Jing said calmly: "This is a tribute from His Majesty in the palace. They stole it to bribe the Shangguan, and they want to find a lucrative job for Lai Shangrong!"

Mother Jia was surprised when she heard the words, "What!!!"
