Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 78
The tears that Wang Xifeng had finally stopped burst out again, and she threw herself into Mrs. Xue's arms and cried loudly.

Mrs. Xue took her hand and handed it to Jia Lian, patted her comfortingly, and said to Jia Lian, "Brother Feng has been patient, smart, and young since he was a child, but his temper is a bit stronger. For the sake of my old lady, Please bear with me.

If she does something wrong in the future, just come to me and I will teach her a lesson.

Stop doing stupid things and saying irrelevant things to make her sad and make the whole family uneasy."

Jia Lian's eyes were red and he responded repeatedly.

His biological mother died young, and Jia She didn't care about him at all. Mrs. Xing was a stepmother and stupid, so she didn't care about him at all.

Although the old lady loved him, she couldn't compare to Jia Baoyu.

This was the first time that an elder had told him so earnestly about the principles of life and taught him how to get along as a husband and wife.

Mrs. Xue felt relieved when she saw that the young couple had surrendered. She quickly ordered a car to be prepared to go to the palace, and Xue Pan saw her off all the way.

Jia Lian was afraid that Jia Mu and others would get into trouble, so he also said goodbye and left. Wang Xifeng went to see him off in person. Thinking that the couple had something personal to say, only brother and sister Yu Xin and Xue Baobao were left in the house.

Xue Baobao said uneasily, "Brother, even though you have great power now, Rongguo Mansion is not what it used to be. It's not good for you to interfere in the internal affairs of his house like this, right?"

Yu Xin scolded, "You still have the nerve to say that if I wasn't you in the first place, why would I be meddling in Wang Xifeng's business?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

I just told you to watch out and don’t let Sister Feng suffer. Who would have thought that you would help someone get Rongxi Hall just by opening your mouth?

Yu Xin sneered lightly, "Don't worry, the emperor has long wanted to take action against the four princes and other well-established families.

I just can't find a good opportunity, so if I dare to take action, I will naturally have someone to rely on."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Okay, forget that you also have a backer.

Xue Baobao thought for a while, but still felt uneasy. Taking the risk of being scolded by Yu Xin again, he asked again, "Can you really help Sister Feng get the Rongxi Hall and the housekeeper rights?"

"Rongxi Hall, I promise to help her get it. As for the stewardship, it depends on her own ability."

The concept of housekeeper's power is relatively weak. After all, he is an outsider. Even if he helps her "get" it, she can't control it.

Xue Baobao suddenly became starry-eyed, "Wow, brother, you can really get it! It's so awesome!"

Yu Xin snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to push her forehead, "Why is it true and false? How much do you look down on your brother?"

Xue Baobao smiled flatteringly, "I know, I know, brother is the best brother, brother is the most wonderful brother, croak!"

Yu Xin, "..."

Sure enough, I still have to use the embroidered spring knife before this girl is willing to talk properly!

While Xue Baobao and his sister were joking, a new round of turmoil arose in the Jia family.

But it was Jia Lian who listened to Wang Xifeng's plan and told Jia She and Mrs. audacious in the extreme.

She collects money from the public and then puts it outside to collect interest. The money she gets to subsidize the empress and the treasures and jade is all our money!
To be unfilial, if something happens to the old lady one day, we will definitely separate from our second wife, and those things should be divided among us!
Now, the empress and Baoyu are fully subsidized. Baoyu has agate bowls, crystal plates, and ivory chopsticks to eat, but the wronged master can't even have a drink.

My wife is even more frugal and aggrieved for our big house. Not to mention anything else, even the clothes and jewelry are not as luxurious as the second wife!

Master and madam, you can't write two characters in one stroke. The second uncle and the second wife are willful. Now they are causing us to suffer monetary grievances. I don't know how they will affect us in the future! "

Mrs. Xing felt that Jia Lian's words had touched her heart. She held Jia Lian's hand and cried, "My son, it is true that those who kiss are always kissed.

The old lady is partial. For the sake of the master and you, what can I do if I don’t save more? "

Mrs. Xing had a stupid and strong nature, she only knew how to protect herself by obeying Jia She, and then she greedily obtained wealth for her own gain. All the affairs of the family were at the mercy of Jia She.

All money matters, once in his hands, he will be extremely stingy, and he will be praised and criticized not only by the masters, but also by the servants throughout the house.

Naturally, Mrs. Xing occasionally heard rumors and felt aggrieved. At this time, after listening to Jia Lian's words, she just felt like a confidant.

"My son, let alone clothes and jewelry, every ear pick the second wife has is made of gold and silver!
I don't know how much benefit I got from the public on weekdays, but she pretended to be human, which made everyone in the house praise her for her bodhisattva temperament!

I bother! "

At this time, Mrs. Xing had no idea that Mrs. Wang was from a better background than her, and her family's power and wealth, as well as the dowry sent by her family, were not comparable to hers.

He only realized that Mrs. Wang's good food, clothing and useful functions were the source of Jia's family. The more she scolded her, the more energetic she became.

From Mrs. Wang's ear-picking to Mrs. Wang's osmanthus oil, and then to the aura of Mrs. Wang's several companions...

Jia She heard this impatiently and cursed, "What a woman's opinion! How much money she got after being greedy can be recovered!"

This loan sharking is a serious crime of confiscating a house. If it weren't for Shuntian Prefecture Yin's mediation this time, how could I go out in the future?

No, we can never let this happen this time!
Even if the second couple wants to rebel, they can't bring the master and me into trouble!
Lian'er, go call your second uncle, and let's go to the old lady to comment!No matter how biased you are, you can't harm our eldest family to death! "

When Jia She and Mrs. Xing arrived at Jia Mu's house, Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai were both there. They didn't know what they were talking about, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Jia She started drinking with his wives when he got up in the morning. By this time, he was almost drunk. The wine was so daring that Da Jia Ci entered the house and said sarcastically, "My sister-in-law is here too?

My sister-in-law's brother-in-law and sister-in-law have done something scandalous, and they want help from my sister-in-law to cover up the scandal? "

Mother Jia was so angry that she yelled, "What the hell are you talking about! Get out of here!"

Jia She scratched his head and said, "Old lady, the second couple did something scandalous, and they want to blame it on Lian'er and his wife. You know this better than me!
I don’t dare to say that I want to hold the family accountable. I just ask them not to implicate us in the future and to separate our families! "

Mother Jia didn't expect that he could even say such a thing. She was so angry that she was shaking all over, waving her cane and trying to beat him, "Okay!
I’m not dead yet, you’re going to separate the family!You really want me to die early!

Okay, I will grant you your wish, I will go back to Jinling and won’t block your way! "

With that said, he repeatedly ordered Yuanyang to pack his things and go back to Jinling immediately.

When Jia She saw that Jia Mu was really angry, he immediately got scared and hurriedly knelt down, "Old lady, please calm down, my son didn't mean that.

The second child and his wife are really stupid and greedy. Their son would be afraid of doing something like that!

It would be fine if it only affects the son, but if things really go wrong, not only the son, but also Lian'er and his wife, Niu Niu, and even you, the old lady, who will not be implicated?If the old lady doesn’t want to separate the family, she can just drive the second son and his wife out of the capital.”

Jia's mother became even more angry, "You can't tolerate the second son's family before I die. If I die, will you still kill them all?"
What evil did my old woman do to give birth to such an unfilial son like you? "

When the word "unfilial" came out, Jia She became even more frightened. He just tried to persuade Jia Mu to calm down and didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Ruhai looked tired, cleared her throat, cupped her hands and said, "Old lady, it's not that my son-in-law doesn't want to help, it's the state's laws and the family's rules.

Now that the second sister-in-law has violated the national law, she should be interrogated by Shuntian Mansion and convicted according to the circumstances.

As the princess's wife, the old lady has received royal favor and enjoys supreme honor. She should abide by the law and discipline to repay God's kindness.

The woman in the inner house was short-sighted and made a mistake for a while. As long as the old lady and the family dealt with it properly and killed their relatives out of justice, how could the family's prestige be damaged or even implicate others?

Old lady, please don’t listen to your son-in-law’s advice, immediately take the convict’s wife, Mrs. Wang, and hand it over to Shuntian Mansion together with the evidence! "

Jia Mu just wanted to spit in his face, you are the one who violated your wife, you are the one who killed your relatives out of justice!
Lin Ruhai didn't wait for Jia's mother to speak, then turned to Jia Zheng and said sincerely, "Brother Zheng Nei, women in the back house are inevitably soft-hearted and short-sighted.

As a court official, you should know that if you do not violate the laws of the country and the grace of heaven, how can you care about the personal relationships of your children and bend the law for personal gain? "

Jia Zheng always valued etiquette the most, but he felt that Lin Ruhai's question turned into a sharp knife, cutting straight into his face. His face suddenly turned purple and he was speechless.

Jia She sneered coldly, "Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know that he is the most serious person.

He pretends to be a sanctimonious Taoist gentleman every day, but his wife still lifts him one after another, maybe with the money from Mr. Wang's greedy Mo Gong! "

Mrs. Xing had just been unable to say anything, but now she finally found a place where she could interrupt, and she quickly added, "That's right!
Aunt Zhao is more beautiful and enchanting than our master's ten wives combined. I don't know how much money I spent on her husband! "

When Jia Zheng heard their words, he was so embarrassed and angry, and it was difficult to talk back to his brother and sister-in-law, that his beard trembled with anger.

Lin Ruhai pretended to be extremely disappointed, bowed his hands to Jia Mu and Jia Zhenggong, turned around and left.

Jia Mu hurriedly called to him, but Lin Ruhai said coldly, "A man should be upright and upright in his life.

The old lady now wants me to take bribes and bend the law. I can't persuade the old lady and brother Zhengnai, but I will never be complicit in such things. The old lady and brother Zhengnai can do their own thing! "

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he left. Jia Mu shouted several times but did not stop him. She was so angry that she cursed, "Bookworm! Reading has ruined your brain!"

Jia She sneered, nerd?

Since ancient times, nerds have entered the Hanlin Academy, but I have never seen any nerds become Huaiyang Salt Transport Envoys, and luckily they survived!

It’s not easy to live in this world. Who can live without a face or two to show off their appearance?

The second child likes to pretend to be serious, and Lin Ruhai pretends to be a nerd. Even if he likes to drink with his little wife, isn't it also a kind of disguise?
Well, of course, he does like drinking with his little wife.

Not long after Lin Ruhai left, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Wang came.

Mrs. Wang is much more powerful than Mrs. Xue. As soon as she heard Mrs. Xue talk about it, she knew it was profitable.

Not to mention anything else, at least it will give Rongguo Mansion a handle, so that if something happens in the future, it will be easier to talk to him.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue came. Jia She and Jia Zheng hurriedly escaped, leaving only Mrs. Xing.

After the couple had seen each other, Mrs. Wang said she wanted to see Mrs. Wang, but Jia Mu naturally refused.

Mrs. Wang cried and said, "Old ancestor, this time it was my sister who made a mistake on her errand, and I dare not say anything.

No matter how wrong my sister is, she is still the daughter of my Wang family. I will always go and have a look and ask my ancestors for mercy! "

Jia's mother knew that she had gotten the news and wanted to make a fuss about Mrs. Wang's beating by Jia Zheng, so she said lukewarmly, "Thank you for your trouble, Mrs. Lao."

Mrs. Wang continued to talk for a long time, but Mother Jia simply refused to answer. After saying a few words, she simply said, "It's getting late now, and my wife is tired.

My uncle and aunt should go back first, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do.”

Mrs. Xue was anxious and wanted to speak. Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would ruin her affairs, so she rushed over and said, "Ancestor, there is no need to be anxious.

The four major families of King Jia Shi and Xue have always respected the Jia family, and my Wang family has always respected your family, so they married off their daughters one after another.

Although the Wang family's family status is not as good as that of the noble family, their daughters were raised with a lot of love and nobility. They never dared to cause them to be wronged, let alone to cause them to be short of money.

Now, I would like to ask my ancestors, how come my sister married into a noble house and became the wife of a housekeeper, but why did she end up having to borrow money to subsidize her children?
My poor niece even had her house ransacked indiscriminately by her ancestors. How will she behave in the future? "

Mrs. Wang was crying and talking at the same time, and she was absolutely perfect both in singing and reciting.

Seeing that she dared to slap her down, Jia Mu sneered repeatedly, "Mrs. Wang, you are a junior, it's not easy for an old lady to bully you.

I only have one sentence today: if you feel that the Wang family’s daughter has been wronged in our family, just take her back and I will never stop her! "

When Mrs. Wang saw that her face was broken, she stopped crying and sneered again and again, "Is your house seeing that things can no longer be dealt with, are you going to lose your car to protect your handsome boss?
I just don’t know if this is what my ancestor meant or what my brother-in-law meant?Does your Majesty know?Does Baoyu know? "

Jia Mu choked, hit the mouse, and injured the porcelain vase. How could she have allowed the Wang family to grow so big these years, if not for the sake of the empress and Baoyu?

Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse of Jia Mu's expression and knew that she had pinched her weak point, and she was even more proud, "Old ancestors, the four major families have always been in the same spirit.

Now that the Jia family is encountering difficulties, it is time for us to help.

Our master has quite a relationship with Shuntian Fu Yin, so I might as well have someone take your master's post and ask him to be accommodating.

I also ask my ancestors and everyone in your family not to be kind to my daughter of the Wang family."

Mrs. Wang had a good plan and asked someone to take Wang Ziteng's name card to smooth things over.

He extorted another two to three hundred thousand silver from the Jia Mansion, saying it was only the cost.

In this way, you can not only take advantage of Jia's family, make Jia's family owe favors, but also get a sum of money to spend.

Since the Xue family no longer allowed her to receive money, her money was really tight.

Jia's mother sneered, "We can handle this little thing, so I won't bother my uncle and wife. My uncle and wife have done enough showing off their power today, so please go ahead."
