From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 65: The West Mansion supports its ancestors, but the East Mansion does not!

Jia Wei had a rare chance to relax, so he returned to the courtyard, washed up, and took a nap while drunk.

After an unknown amount of time, he was half asleep when he suddenly heard a conversation outside the house:
"Sister Yuanyang, why are you here?"

"I'm here to look for Master Yu, Qingwen, is Master Yu here?"

"The Second Master is taking a nap in the house. Do you need anything from him? You'll have to wait a while."

"It's the old lady looking for Master Er... Never mind, we've been waiting for a whole day, so it doesn't matter if we wait for a while longer."

Jia Wei sat up from the couch, rubbed his face, and called out, "Come in."

Two maids walked into the room one after the other. Qingwen was wearing a light green double-breasted silk dress. She was extremely beautiful and dressed exquisitely. She didn't look like a maid, but more like a young lady from some wealthy family.

Yuanyang was wearing a light yellow long skirt, and a trace of worry appeared on her pretty face: "Greetings to Second Master Wei, sorry to disturb his nap."

Qingwen sat down beside the bed and dressed Jia Wei. Yuanyang looked away slightly. Jia Wei asked, "Sister Yuanyang, how come you have time to come and play with me?"

She bowed and said, "The old lady asked me to come and invite Master Er...it's because of the Lai family's matter."

When Qingwen heard about Lai's family, her hand holding her coat trembled and a stack of banknotes fell out, which fell to the ground. She hurriedly picked them up.

Jia Wei slapped her raised buttocks and said, "What are you thinking about, you rash guy?"

"Master!" Qingwen shrank back and cried in a discontented voice. Yuanyang was still here.

Yuanyang's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned away, pretending not to see the flirting between the master and servant.

Jia Wei thought for a moment and said, "You should count these bills and send them to Cuiguo to use for public expenses. Now there are two more grandmas in the courtyard, so there are many places to spend money."

Yuanyang was the manager, and he had a sharp eye. He could tell at a glance that there was at least one thousand taels of silver.

She couldn't help thinking that this Second Master was indeed a capable man. He was able to give the family one thousand taels of silver within just a few days of his success.

As for the masters and young masters in Rong Mansion, they only asked for money from the mansion and never asked for money to supplement the mansion...

"Oh." Qingwen had just stood up when her buttocks were hit again, and she ran out quickly.

Jia Wei shouted from behind: "Pour another cup of tea..."

He was only wearing his inner clothes and opened his arms towards Yuanyang.

Yuanyang must have understood what Jia Wei meant. She blushed and spat inwardly: I am not your maid, how can I help you put on clothes?

The mandarin ducks didn't say anything and just pretended not to see it.

Jia Wei did not force it, and collapsed on the bed again: "Okay, you go out and wait, I will continue to sleep for a while, anyway, I am not the one who is in a hurry."

Seeing that he was acting like a rogue, Yuanyang remembered that the old lady in the mansion was still waiting, so she could only walk to the couch.

Jia Wei lazily raised his hand, and Yuanyang hurried to pull him, but failed. As Jia Wei pulled her, she fell onto the couch and lay on Jia Wei's chest.

Yuanyang's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly stood up.

Now she is a maid in the old lady's courtyard, and it is a bit too much for Jia Wei to tease her like this.

Yuanyang is one of the four fierce maids. If it were any other master or young master, she would definitely be furious. But when she thought about how Jia Wei didn't even give the old lady face, she immediately lost her temper.

"Master Wei, please get up. I will help you get dressed." Yuanyang almost begged.

Jia Wei did not overdo it. "Go get that Feiyu suit. I guess I have to go to the palace later." He stood up and put on his shoes and socks. Yuanyang also reached out and unfolded the beautifully crafted Feiyu suit and put it on Jia Wei from behind.

"Does this dress look good?" Jia Wei asked Yuanyang in her ear.

Yuanyang dodged and said, "Second-class clothing is of course beautiful. Master Er, let me tie the belt for you."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of shyness. She took the belt, lowered her head, and moved closer to Jia Wei to put the belt around his waist.

Then he straightened Jia Wei's clothes, combed his messy hair, and put on the official hat with the word "山" on it.

Yuanyang took a few steps back and looked up at the young man in gorgeous clothes. A dazed look appeared on her snow-white and soft oval face. She wanted to say something but didn't, and just pursed her cherry lips.

"Let's go!"

Jia Wei waved his hand and walked out, and Yuanyang hurriedly followed him. In the yard, she took the tea brought by Qingwen, rinsed her mouth, and then left the yard.

As soon as she entered the Rongguo Mansion, Yuanyang felt that Jia Wei's demeanor suddenly changed. His face became cold and less friendly and smiling.

In Rongqing Hall, Yuanyang was holding the curtain, and Jia Wei entered. He took a quick look and saw that Jia Mu, Lady Wang, Lady Xing, Jia Zheng, Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and others were all there, but Jia She was nowhere to be seen. He was probably driven away by Jia Mu.

"Hello, old lady."

Grandmother Jia said in a deep voice: "Please sit down."

After being left out for so long, although Grandmother Jia was even more angry, she calmed down. The Jia family didn't have the Jinyiwei's way, so now that things had come to this, it all depended on Jia Wei's opinion.

Just as Jia Wei sat down, Yuanyang brought him tea. Jia Wei smiled and thanked him, acting as if he didn't care.

Grandmother Jia asked, "I heard that the Lai family was raided by you?"

Jia Wei looked up at Grandmother Jia and said with a smile, "That's right. Yesterday I took people to check the account books of Ningguo Mansion and found some problems."

Listening to Jia Wei's light words, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Just because you found a little problem, you gave it to Lai's family for copying?

Isn't this Second Master too arrogant? This is in front of the old lady...

Grandmother Jia took a deep breath and said coldly, "You can just check the accounts in the East Mansion, why did you arrest everyone? The Lai family is also an old servant in the mansion. They have always worked hard. Why did they plunder other people's property? If it gets out, aren't you afraid that outsiders will say that you are mistreating old servants and coveting the money of the servants' family?"

After drinking his tea and putting down his tea bowl, Jia Wei said calmly, "The mansion has always treated the servants well. If the master gets one point, the servants will get half. This was originally a kind heart, but it made these servants even more arrogant.

"The masters are so frugal and thrifty, but they are just lying on their masters' bodies sucking their blood, eating a lot and becoming fat and plump!
"Can such a servant still be called a servant? The ancestors are almost the same! The West Mansion raises ancestors, but the East Mansion does not!"

When Jia Wei said this, everyone in the hall was shocked. Grandmother Jia's face turned terribly dark and she almost couldn't breathe.

"The Lai family embezzled a shocking amount of property belonging to the nobility, amounting to 560,000 taels over a period of more than ten years. There are witnesses and evidences, and the Lai family and others have confessed everything. There is nothing to say."

Although Jia Zheng didn't care about worldly things, he knew what 560,000 taels meant. After hearing what Jia Wei said, he hurriedly asked, "Wenhe, do you think there are such worms in the West Mansion?"

Jia Wei smiled and said, "I won't say much about the affairs of the West Mansion. But the Lai family is just a small hilltop. As long as Master Zheng follows the investigation, he will always find something fishy."

There were also the housekeepers standing in the hall, including Zhou Rui's wife, Wu Xindeng's wife, Wang Shanbao's wife and others. After hearing Jia Wei's words, everyone felt uneasy.

For example, Wu Xindeng was the head of the Rongfu's silver treasury, and the amount of money he embezzled was not much less than that of the Lai family...
