A hundred flavors of life

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang came to Wang Xifeng's small courtyard and asked to see Aunt Lian. Wang Xifeng was waiting for a reply, so Ping'er invited people in and met Jia Rong and the two in the small hall.

When Jia Rong came in and saw that Jia Lian was not there, he asked, "Auntie, where is Uncle Lian?"

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Who knows which fox is sleeping in another house outside? Stop talking nonsense. How are things going?"

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang immediately looked shocked and distressed: "Second aunt, something big has happened. The boy from the Lai family and the children from those families are all dead."

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale: "What's going on? Tell me quickly?"

Jia Rong cried in accordance with the rhetoric that had been unified for a long time:

"That man is so powerful. That boy Lai Shangrong threw stones to send the message as planned. As a result, Lin Chong caught it with his hand as if he had eyes behind him, and then threw it back, hitting the boy Lai's head in the back. He died immediately."

"The children of those families led the people into the alley, but before we brothers could take action, Lin Chong killed them all with one knife. If we hadn't been so frightened that we didn't dare to attack on the roof, I'm afraid if Lin Chong had let See, we can’t come back now!”

Although it was a negotiated statement, when Jia Rong said it, she couldn't help but think back on what happened tonight and trembled with fear.

Seeing them like this, Wang Xifeng knew that things couldn't be fake. She immediately turned pale and lost her composure: "What should we do!"

Jia Qiang said from the side:

"Second Aunt Lian, let's report it to the officials and let them come and get him!"

This was what Hua Twelve had said in advance. He expected that Wang Xifeng would not dare to make the matter a big deal, otherwise she, the mastermind behind the scenes, would be in trouble once she became an official.

If the government really found out something, how could the Rongguo Jia Mansion tolerate a young mistress who took the initiative to cause trouble and was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit?

Even if Jia Lian couldn't bear to leave her, he might still have to give her a letter of divorce.

At that time, the Rongguo Mansion did not want her, and her parents' family was concerned about their appearance and could not tolerate a daughter whose life was contaminated and was divorced. What awaited Wang Xifeng would be a lonely life for the rest of her life, or the end of a white silk.

Therefore, Hua Twelve expected that as long as there was such a possibility, Wang Xifeng would definitely not report it to the official, and would even suppress the matter to prevent the family of the deceased from causing trouble.

Sure enough, when he heard that Jia Qiang wanted to report to the official, Wang Xifeng said immediately without even thinking:

"No, you can't report to the official!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had acted too fiercely, and quickly explained:

"Who is our Ningrong Second Mansion? We must not be involved in this kind of human life matter. In addition, we are the first to take action on this matter. It involves so many people, and there is no way it can be hidden by an official!"

When Wang Xifeng said this, he suddenly smiled:

"I don't care if this matter really breaks out. The old lady and your second brother Lian are taking care of it. As long as I don't admit it, who dares to involve me? I'm thinking about you two!"

She looked at Jia Rong: "Brother Rong, you know best what kind of temper your father and I, Brother Zhen, are. If you are involved in such a life case, I don't want to break your legs!"

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she looked at Jia Qiang again:

"Brother Qiang, although you are the great-great-grandson of the upright Ning Kingdom, your lineage has long been separated and declined. You are just a guest in Dongfu now. If this matter involves you, Dongfu will not tolerate you in the future, so Auntie I’m planning for you!”

When Jia Rong and Jia Qiang heard what Wang Xifeng said, they suddenly realized. They were a little scared at first, and then they bowed gratefully:

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for thinking about us two. If not, we would have been in trouble this time!"

They said this, but they said in their hearts: "That Lin Chong really got it right. Why do you think about us? You just think about yourself!"

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but said on her face:

"But after all, people are dead. If you want to prevent the matter from getting bigger, those families must suppress it!"

He turned to Ping'er and ordered: "Go and call Lai Da!"

Ping'er went there in response, and soon found Lai Da.

Seeing Lai Da come in, Wang Xifeng sighed first, and then ordered to Jia Rong and Jia Qiang:

"You guys talk to Butler Lai!"

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang repeated what they had said before. When Lai Da heard that his son Lai Shangrong was dead, he collapsed on the ground:

"How is it possible? My child will take the imperial examination in a few years and become an official butcher. How could he die like this?"

All members of the Lai family were slaves born in the Rongguo Mansion, but as soon as Lai Shangrong was born, he was rewarded by Jia Mu and was released with a deed, becoming a free man.

In the past two years, Lai Shangrong has shown some talent in reading. The entire Lai family is pointing to the fact that Lai Shangrong will be nominated for a gold medal in the future and become a successful person. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the hope of the Lai family.

This time Lai Da asked Lai Shangrong to get involved because he also wanted his son to show his face in front of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng. Later, he could ask Mrs. Wang to talk to his second grandfather Jia Zheng and ask a Qing guest from the second grandfather's side to act as a guest for his son. Teacher teaching articles.

But he didn't expect that this was a life-threatening job. How could Lai Da accept it? He was heartbroken and burst into tears for a while.

Several people in the room curled their lips, thinking that a slave child, who was lucky enough to be rewarded by his master and escaped from slavery, still wanted to serve as an official. I had never heard of any prime minister whose parents were serving as slaves for others.

Lai cried for a while and then asked about Lai Shangrong's body.

Jia Rong followed the agreed words and said: "Let Lin Chong be dragged away, or his body will be destroyed and all traces will be destroyed!"

Lai made a big fuss and wanted to report to the official and ask Lin Chong to pay for his life.

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Report me for a shitty official position!"

Her anger immediately calmed down Lai Da.

Wang Xifeng then slowed down her tone:

"Don't forget that it was us who caused this incident. This caused a loss of life. Can this matter withstand investigation? I, the Rongguo Mansion, have lost face. How can your Lai family fare better?"

"You listen to me, knock out the teeth and swallow the blood, just pretend it didn't happen. If you want to take revenge on Lin Chong, you have to wait until later!"

Lai Da felt a chill in his heart when he saw Wang Xifeng's fierce eyes. He thought she was right, so he could only nod in agreement.

Wang Xifeng said again:

"There are also those families who have children. If you tell their families, they will say that their children bumped into their wives at home and were sent to work in the village of Liaodong. After three to five months, they will be sent to tell them that they are going to Liaodong on the road. I encountered a wild beast and was dragged away. At that time, there was no evidence to prove it, and they couldn’t even make a fuss, do you hear me!”

After Wang Xifeng finished arranging everything, she rubbed her forehead and waved her hand:

"That's it, just do as I tell you!"

Lai Da didn't dare to disobey, wiped his tears, and was about to retreat when he heard Jia Rong say:

"Second Aunt, I plan to borrow some money from you!"

Wang Xifeng laughed angrily:

"Hey, Rong'er, are you threatening me? Your second aunt, I'm really not afraid of this. Why don't you report it to the official now? Let's see who of us suffers!"

Jia Rong said quickly: "Second aunt has misunderstood. My nephew doesn't mean this. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Qiang. There is really a rare opportunity to make a fortune. I originally planned to borrow some money from you and make a small profit!" "

Jia Qiang nodded repeatedly on the side, indicating that she was simply borrowing money.

Wang Xifeng smiled softly: "Don't say whether to borrow or not, let Ping'er get you twenty taels of silver, and you will give you two brothers a shock!"

Normally, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang would have been very happy, but today was a little different. Jia Rong said: "Second aunt, my nephew is really not asking you for money. In this case, you can lend our brother some money." We will pay interest on two hundred taels of silver, and we will pay interest on five taels of silver every ten days. Do you think this is okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the sad Lai Dadu thought Jia Rong was stupid.

Wang Xifeng is even more incredible. You must know that her monthly money is only 5 taels of silver. Jia Qiang borrows 200 taels and pays 5 taels of interest in ten days. That is fifteen taels a month, which is higher than the interest on usury. How can it be?

She asked with some suspicion: "Brother Rong, are you telling the truth?"

Jia Rong said: "How dare my nephew deceive my aunt? I can establish a written record!"

Wang Xifeng pondered for a while and said calmly: "What you said, how can my aunt ask you for interest? Just use this money and pay it back when you make money!"

After saying that, he asked Ping'er to go into the back room and take two hundred taels of silver to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong happily wrote the IOU, pressed fingerprints with Jia Qiang, took the money and left.

Wang Xifeng saw that she had the written evidence in hand and was not afraid that the two would not pay back the money, so she did not take the matter seriously. She also withdrew one hundred taels of silver from the official and gave it to Lai Da as a consolation for Lai Shangrong. She felt that this One hundred taels is already quite a lot, but it's a pity that Laijia didn't even notice it.

On Hua Twelve's side, after Jia Rong and Jia Qiang left, they brought clean water to the ground and washed away the yellow water turned by the corpses. Then they left the small courtyard and returned home.

When he got home, it was past three o'clock, and the lights were still on in the room. When he went in, he saw that Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er were both awake, waiting for him.

Hua Twelve only said that he had met friends and had two more drinks, and asked Jin'er to go outside, then he hugged his wife and went to bed to rest.

The next morning I got up to practice. When I saw Lin Daiyu, I heard Sister Lin saying angrily: "When will brother bring his new sister-in-law back? We are all waiting to drink brother's wedding wine!"

Hua Twelve was startled and asked in surprise: "What new sister-in-law?"

Lin Daiyu said seriously: "Last night, I accompanied my sister-in-law to wait for my brother until almost the third watch. I couldn't bear it anymore before going to bed. If it weren't for the new sister-in-law who caught my brother, what could have prevented him from returning home in the middle of the night? ?”

Hua Twelve was funny and angry. He was about to scold her for talking nonsense when he heard Lin Daiyu say again:

"My sister-in-law and my brother have been married for three years and have nothing to do. I guess my brother wants to marry a new sister-in-law to continue their relationship. Unfortunately, marrying a new sister-in-law is a good thing for my brother, but I'm afraid it will break my sister-in-law's heart!"

These words made Zhang Zhenniang, who was watching the excitement, change her expression. Although she knew that her husband was not messing around, he had no children after three years of marriage, but the words touched her heart and she couldn't help but feel sad.

Lin Daiyu didn't even wink at all, and even started to recite a poem:

"When it is still dark, the mandarin ducks will not stay alone."

"But when you see new people smile, you hear old people cry."

Hua Twelve had known about Lin Daoduo’s name for a long time. This was the first time he had experienced Lin Daoduo. He felt overwhelmed and quickly begged for mercy:

"Girl, please be merciful. I just went out to have a drink with friends. I came back late. How can I have a new sister-in-law? Look, you made your sister-in-law cry!"

Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that Zhang Zhenniang's eyes were red. She quickly stuck out her tongue, stepped forward and took her hand and said:

"Sister-in-law, if my brother bullies you, I will write a letter asking dad to scold him!"

Hua Twelve has a black line on his head. He doesn’t have any points to count. It’s all your instigation. If it weren’t for you, you wouldn’t be able to do this.

He stepped forward and squeezed her away, holding Zhang Zhenniang to comfort her for a long time, saying that she was still young and it would be bad for her health to have a child so early, and it would not be too late to consider the issue of heirs after Double Ten.

Turning back to look at Lin Daodun, he thought to himself that this girl is just a troublemaker, wait a minute, something seems wrong.

After coaxing Zhang Zhenniang for a long time, he saw that she was still unhappy, so he let Lin Daiyu work on herself. He worked with his wife step by step to help her practice the "Beauty Boxing Technique".

Lin Daiyu was practicing the 'Sakyamuni Elephant Throwing Kung Fu', playing with a hundred kilograms of stone locks in her hand. Seeing that there was no one around, her boxing skills were like dancing. She was extremely envious and said:

"Brother, you said the day before yesterday that I have almost mastered my basic skills and can learn boxing. I also want to learn my sister-in-law's beautiful boxing!"

Hua Twelve sneered in his heart, "Why did you criticize me just now? How did you provoke me? I still want to learn beautiful boxing skills. Let's just dream about it."

He said sternly: "Brother Wei teaches people boxing in accordance with their aptitude. In Brother Wei's opinion, you are not suitable for this boxing. I have three boxing techniques here that are more suitable for girls to practice than the 'Beauty Boxing' that I can teach you. You You can choose any of them.”

Lin Daiyu heard that the boxing technique was more suitable for girls than the 'Beauty Boxing', and she was immediately overjoyed and asked with expectation:

"May I ask, brother, what are the three martial arts?"

"Listen carefully, these three are: Iron Palm Kung Fu, Vajra Palm Kung Fu, and Three Emperors Cannon Hammer!"

Lin Daiyu had black hair. This didn't sound like something a girl should practice. She suspected that her brother was doing it on purpose. Last time, he taught her the "Thirteen Taibao" exercises, which were said to be able to break boulders in the chest.

After breakfast, Hua Twelve went to yesterday's inn to find Yang Zhi and went straight to Dian Shuai's mansion.

After Yang Zhi woke up this morning, he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether what Lin Chong said yesterday was true or false. How could it be possible that such a big thing as losing Hua Shigang could be solved without spending money?

As a result, I followed Hua Twelve to the Palace Commander's Mansion and saw that he was just like back home, so I felt relieved.

When he saw Taiwei Gao Qiu, Yang Zhi went to pay homage to him, but was pulled up by Hua Twelve and said:

"We are all our own people, it doesn't have to be like this!"

After Hua Twelve finished speaking, he told Gao Qiu about Yang Zhi, and then said in a commanding tone:

"The Lieutenant will first arrange for Brother Yang to work as an errand in the Palace Commander's Mansion. When I lead a battalion alone, I will ask him to help me!"

Yang Zhi watched with horror. He felt that the tone of Hua Twelve's conversation with the Taiwei was not at all like the tone of talking to a superior officer. It was as if he was ordering his subordinates to do things.

He heard that Gao Qiu was a narrow-minded man, and he was afraid that he would become angry and punish them both.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu was not displeased at all. Instead, he agreed immediately with a very good attitude, and even asked someone to come in and lead Yang Zhi to complete the formalities.

In this way, what Yang Zhi thought was a big deal, Hua Twelve solved it with just one sentence, which made him admire the latter in his heart.

It turned out that before yesterday, it was still the bleakest day in Yang Zhi's life. He was helpless and at a loss. Lin Chong met him unexpectedly, but generously helped him out of the predicament and gave him a new future. This made Yang Zhi involuntarily have a sense of hope. The thought of dying for a confidant.

Hua Twelve not only arranged work for Yang Zhi, but also solved his accommodation problem.

He lent the newly built haunted house yesterday to Yang Zhi to live in, which moved the latter to tears. He immediately called him his elder brother and was willing to be his younger brother.

Ten days later, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang sent five taels of silver to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng initially refused, but Jia Rong and Jia Qiang both said happily:

"Auntie, just take it. We found a way to get rich. We had no capital, so we borrowed chickens to lay eggs. Auntie should have a share of the money we made!"

Wang Xifeng was a money-loving person, so she went along with the situation and asked Ping'er to put it away.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang stood up and said goodbye: "We still have things to do. In ten days, we will come back to send interest money to my aunt!"

After the two of them left, Wang Xifeng's eyes wandered and her thoughts moved. Ping'er knew her nature and smiled at the side:

"If grandma is interested, why don't you ask clearly, and then you can make random guesses here after they leave!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled softly: "What do you know? Grandma, I don't even care about the scattered silver of ten or eighty taels. Let's take a look at it before talking about it!"

It snowed the next day, and it was completely white inside and outside the city. When the snow started to clear, the current officials finally decided to go to Tiewan Mountain for winter hunting!

Thanks to: 08a, Li Meng, the God of Death, Little Tiger from the Demon Realm, and the brothers who took the good exam for their rewards. Thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you very much.
