The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 410
Ningrong Back Street, Liangshui Alley.

Since Rongguo Mansion was preparing to build the Grand View Garden, after all the servants' houses in the north and east of the East Courtyard were demolished, many servants of Rongguo Mansion moved to the back street.And this Liangshui Lane has become a main gathering place for servants of the Rongguo Mansion.

And Wang Teng's family, one of Jia Lian's former close guards, also lived here.

Because of Wang Teng's glorious death, the family received a large amount of pension from the mansion, so even though Wang Teng was a slave, after discussing with Wang Teng's father, Wang Teng's wife decided to make a grand event for Wang Teng.

Of course, the so-called grand affairs cannot be compared with the old men of the aristocratic family.

In fact, for an ordinary common people's family, if they can spend 20 taels of silver for a funeral, invite relatives and friends to a big meal, or simply hold a ceremony, it is considered more decent.

But for Wang Teng, the Rongguo Mansion gave nearly 500 taels of his pension alone.In addition, Wang Teng used to be Jia Lian's long-term follower and earned some family money for the family, so even if the entire Wang family took out one or two hundred taels of silver for Wang Teng's funeral, there was no pressure.

If you have financial resources, you will naturally have confidence, so the servants and servants from the two houses who came to express their condolences were all envious of the specifications of the Wang family's funeral and the various expensive snacks for the children on the table in the yard. They all sighed in their hearts. Boy, it's not a loss to die!
Several people, after expressing their condolences, collectively approached Wang Teng's father, and after some chatting, they proposed to borrow some money from Wang's family for emergency...

Because what they said was sincere, either the son was about to get married and the dowry was short, or the child's mother was seriously ill and lacked money to buy medicine, in short, the name of borrowing money was very legitimate.

And old man Wang is an honest and responsible person, he can't hold back his face, and he also knows that his family is indeed richer than others now, so it's okay to borrow them a few taels of silver, so he said: "After my son dies, my daughter-in-law will do all the housework alone. Reason, the money is also in her hand, I have to ask her first."

"It should be..."

So old man Wang asked his grandson to invite her mother.

People at the bottom are not so particular, even if they are guests, they still have to treat others, there is no such taboo.

Everyone originally agreed to the old man Wang, thinking that they could borrow money, but the sister-in-law of the Wang family is a stubborn person.

One is that she herself has three children to raise, and the other is that she also hates in her heart that these people came to borrow money just after her man died, clearly intending to bully them, so as soon as they entered the teahouse, they talked deadly and borrowed money means nothing.

Those people were a little anxious.

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, why bother? After all, you are all working in the same mansion, so you can't rely on the old favor and help out?
Besides, Brother Wang is dead, and Lord Hou rewarded you with so much silver, you can't use it all up, why don't you lend us a few taels of silver to make an envoy first, and then return it to you when we relax later, you are not at a loss. "

Wang Teng's wife was still unmoved, and after a few exchanges of words, she sneered and said, "Why, do you still want to use your power to bully our orphans and widows?

Master Hou said in front of hundreds of people in the two houses yesterday that no one should bully us. If you come to force me to borrow money today, won't you be afraid that the second master will find out and scratch your skin? "

The faces of those people changed suddenly.

Speaking of which, a person who can covet other people's compensation money, and then give up and come to borrow money, is naturally not a powerful figure in the mansion.

Among the stewards of the two houses, who have been in charge for many years, which one does not have savings of hundreds of silver?

The reason why they came to borrow money was because they were jealous, and because they saw the sudden wealth of the Wang family, so they should not dare to offend them for a few taels of money.

"Sister-in-law Wang's words are serious. How dare we go against Lord Hou's intentions. It's just that the family really can't get rid of the pot and can't get the law, so we come to beg for mercy. It's not like we won't pay back in the future.

Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, they are all doing things in the same mansion, and there will be more days to meet each other in the future, so why bother the sister-in-law of the Wang family? "

These people talked hard and softly, and incited old man Wang to help, which made it seem that Wang Teng's wife was ignorant of current affairs and unkind.

However, Wang Teng's wife saw that these people would not dare to violate Jia Lian's explicit order, and she was not afraid of them at all.

"I said, if you come to pay homage to my family, I welcome it very much. If you come to borrow money, you will get nothing.

All those pensions were paid for by my man, and I still have several children to support, so I still think the money is not enough. "

After saying this, Wang Teng's wife went out to be a director, but those people never left, but kept instigating her old father-in-law to intercede.

Just as he was getting annoyed, the eldest son ran over quickly, "Mother, Uncle Zhao and the others are here!"

When Wang Teng's wife heard the words, she naturally knew who the uncle Zhao was talking about.Not to mention that my man and Zhao Sheng worked together under Jia Lian's tent a few years ago, but this time my man's bone urn was sent back by Zhao Sheng himself.

Through today's incident, she also saw that although Jia Lian's words came first, Jia Lian was still high above her, and there must be times when she couldn't see it.

Therefore, it has to rely on Zhao Sheng and his group to take care of her more, so that those who covet her family's money can be completely suppressed.

So he immediately dropped other things and received him personally.

Zhao Sheng and others went to worship Wang Teng's spirit, and then said to Wang Teng's wife: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite, we are here on the order of Lord Hou."

"Master Hou?" Wang Teng's wife was taken aback.

Zhao Sheng's gaze was already on the few people who heard that he was coming and went out to check the situation.

"I would like to ask my sister-in-law to identify who were the people who wanted to borrow money from my sister-in-law forcibly?"

As soon as Zhao Sheng said this, Wang Teng's wife didn't understand that Zhao Sheng came to help her family. Although she didn't know, why did Zhao Sheng know that someone borrowed money from her and brought so many people here.

She was a little hesitant, should she take the opportunity to sue, or show those people some sympathy.

After all, those people didn't bother her much just now, if they sued her, they would completely offend her.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Master Hou had expected this kind of thing to happen a long time ago, so he ordered the servants and others to take care of your house.

So my sister-in-law just said, I will deal with them on behalf of Lord Hou. "

As soon as Wang Teng's wife heard this, she didn't care about that much, and pointed to the people on the porch who wanted to hide, "He, he, he, and him, by the way, and the third boy from Uncle Zhou's house, the concierge. They have been staying at my house, trying to force me to lend them money!"

Zhao Sheng sneered, and said to the servants under his command: "What are you still doing, take these people out of the door! You two, go find Zhou Wa!"

Those who were testified by Wang Teng's wife heard that Zhao Sheng came under Jia Lian's order, so they dared to resist, they could only admit their mistakes and beg for mercy, and then they were arrested.

Even Zhou Wa, who had quietly hid in the ditch in Wang's backyard when she saw the situation was not going well, was quickly caught out.

After these few people were escorted out, Zhao Sheng glanced coldly at the other people from the two prefectures around him, and then said loudly: "I don't care what you think, but let me tell you, Lord Hou has already ordered, whoever dares to disobey Let me deal with his repeated orders, regardless of life or death!
Today, I think they are the first offenders, and they have never made a big mistake. Each of them has forty sticks.If something like this happens again next time, don't blame Zhao and don't care about feelings. "

As Zhao Sheng's words fell, there were bursts of crackling sounds outside the hanging white Wang's house, accompanied by violent screams, which made all the servants of the two governments who came to express their condolences and help feel terrified.
