Chapter 17 Do you want to live
Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rongyuan.
When he heard that his father was going to raid Lai Sheng's house, he almost jumped up in shock.
"Why are you so excited?"
Shen Ning held him down and said, "Learn your calligraphy well."
"Grandma!"
Jia Rong's eyes were particularly bright, filled with joy, "Let's send a few more people to watch father ransack his house!"
It's a pity that his butt still hurts, otherwise he really wanted to go alone.
"Lai Sheng is good at crying." What if his father is soft-hearted, "It's hard to estimate the value of some antique calligraphy and paintings."
"...Hmm!" Shen Ning Smiling and pinching his hopeful little face, "That's very thoughtful."
She was also a little worried, so she turned to Youshi, "Find someone to tell Jiao Dahe and the guards to check the extra silver and allocate one-tenth of it for the training and settlement of these people."
"Yes!"
Youshi walked out in a hurry.
To be honest, she was even more worried about Jia Zhen's house raid. Although she has secretly asked the maid to arrange people, the people she arranged can only watch from a distance and make secret calculations. Now that the wife has asked Jiao Dahe and the guards to come, it will be difficult for Lai Sheng to fly.
For four years in charge of the family, Youshi knew very well how greedy Lai Sheng and his wife were.
The same clothes and jewelry are 15% more expensive than what is available in the market.
It’s okay if I don’t ask, but when I ask, they say that the Jia family only uses the best. Since she is the head wife of Ningguo Mansion, she can’t be too petty.
The medicinal materials must be the best, and the supplements must be the best. In short, the word "good" is always connected with the word "expensive".
She can't object. If she objects, she will be petty.
Tell Jia Zhen that Jia Zhen will listen to her for a while, but every time she asks, she has to go through Lai Sheng first, and then things will really become better.
She couldn't argue.
It seems that she is really ignorant and a petty woman.
Time and time again, Youshi finally understood that the Lai family had long been in Ningguo Mansion.
The only husband she can rely on, the heir to the Ningguo Mansion, is her biggest backer.
I don’t want the couple to be separated, and I don’t want Jia Zhen to even enter her room. She can only cooperate slowly and be an obedient grandma who seems to be able to give orders.
Youshi had given up at first, but she didn’t expect that her mother-in-law would uproot her.
She is more concerned about this matter than Jia Rong.
If possible, she would also like to be there in person.
However, You felt that she should still stay here to prevent some people from jumping over the wall and hitting her mother-in-law.
After a while, the six strong women who had made great achievements in the school yesterday were hired by their eldest grandmother with high salaries. They held feather dusters and guarded outside Jia Rong's courtyard.
Both Shen Ning and Jia Rong saw it, and their eyes were a little complicated, "You are still young, you don't have to worry so much in the future."
"My grandson is happy!"
Jia Rong suddenly felt like he was on the kang Writing big characters is also a special enjoyment.
"Okay, okay, you are happy!"
Shen Ning was amused by his little appearance, and looked through the three large characters he wrote today, "Why are you practicing longevity today? ?” Or the word longevity in a different font, “Whose birthday are you preparing for?”
“Grandma, your birthday is half a year away,” Jia Rong’s little face turned red, “I I want to write it more beautifully.”
He wanted to finish it early and send it to Chongfu Temple outside the city, and ask the monks there to read it to his grandmother several times.
"...You are thinking too early."
Shen Ning is actually quite happy.
She has never received such a gift.
On the several large characters, although each of the characters for "longevity" is a little childish, with different lengths, round shapes, different sizes, and running arms and errands, they are really cute together!
"However, grandma likes it very much."
Shen Ning decided to collect it, "How many characters are you short of a hundred years of life?" She looked at the Kang table and wrote most of the characters for longevity, "Quickly Click and write. "
"...There are three more."
Jia Rong quickly wrote a larger word "longevity" and filled up the remaining paper. On both sides, one wrote about Shou lying down, and the other wrote about fat Shou, "Grandma likes fans or screens?"
He had seen pictures of hundreds of longevity designed by others, and in the limited space, he wrote The characters longevity in different shapes and sizes made him envious no matter whether he looked at it from a distance or up close.
Now it was his turn to design it himself, and it was dedicated to his grandmother. Jia Rong wanted to give the best.
“What kind of fan or screen do you want?”
Shen Ning carefully put away the last piece of longevity character, “These big words are great.”
“Grandma ..." Jia Rong was shocked, this is his pen practice work!
He was ready to practice for two months. This was just the beginning. If he gave it to his grandmother, what if he was seen by others...
Jia Rong simply didn't dare to think about it.
“Don’t you just want to be filial to grandma?”
Shen Ning smiled, “Grandma likes these big characters very much. Isn’t this not filial piety?”
Jia Rong : "..."
Although he really felt his grandmother's love, for some reason, Jia Rong always felt that these big words were like a big pit that would bury him one day.
“Be good!”
Shen Ning motioned to Qingzhu to help her put it away, “I have received the Baishou, but grandma also hopes to receive a better gift.”
Huh?
Jia Rong was stunned for a moment, "What does grandma want?"
"Your maternal grandfather came from a poor family."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "When he was young, he used to say that he read Most of my books were borrowed from other people’s books and copied by myself when I got home. It was very difficult to borrow books at that time. So, my grandma wanted to donate some books to a school outside the city. You can help her bring the books you have read. , copy each three times, and give it to poor students in need. "
How about it?
Jia Rong, who was kneeling on the Kang, straightened her back, "Of course you can."
"You can't go back on your word if you agree!"
Shen Ning stretched out her hand, "We Lagou, the kind that stays the same for a hundred years.”
“Hehe, grandma~”
Jia Rong didn’t expect that grandma could still play with their children, while laughing. If he really hooked up with Shen Ning, he had no idea how big of a trap it would be.
He will read many, many more books in the future.
Copy each copy three times...
Shen Ning's hand hooked on Jia Rong's still thin hand, "Tell me the same thing, you are not allowed to change in a hundred years."
"No change is allowed for a hundred years!"
Jia Rong echoed loudly and excitedly.
Outside the door, after arranging everything and waiting for the good news, Youshi glanced inside and suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was a bit cheated.
First he tricked uncle Jia Zhen, and then he tricked brother Rong. I don’t know if he will trick her again in the future.
Youshi thought about it and didn't care anymore. The pits her mother-in-law dug for the uncle and Brother Rong were all beneficial to them.
With the Lai family taken down, the sky in Ningguo Mansion will be bluer without those who steal the family and those who wield power.
If Brother Rong can really copy every book he reads three times in the future, it will be beneficial to him in studying and practicing calligraphy.
Forget it, she still hopes that her mother-in-law will trick her!
Youshi is in a good mood now. She really likes whatever she looks at.
But they were happy here, but Jia Zhen, who was searching the house, stood in front of three little jade horses of different shapes and colors, her eyes red.
This was a ten-year-old gift given to him by his maternal grandfather and grandfather together.
The jade of the three little jade horses all belonged to my grandfather. My grandfather designed and carved two of them. The ugliest black jade pony was made by my grandfather.
At that time, my grandfather said that if he was given more time, he would definitely be able to carve the ink jade pony to look better, but he couldn't wait any longer and kept crying, fussing and rolling over.
He loves them and sleeps with them every night.
But one day, when he came back from school, only pieces of his three ponies were left.
Jia Zhen was so angry that she trembled when she thought of the four maids and women who got angry because of him.
Back then, Lai Sheng didn't have the ability to steal and replace others, so he could only be a housekeeper.
It turns out that their family was burglarizing their home so early?
It’s not like Jia Zhen doesn’t know that the Lai family is a bit of a steal.
But the Jia family is a bit defeated. If they want others to think highly of their Jia family as before, they have to start from the wealthy slaves.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the Lai family wants to support the lintel of the seventh-rank official, how can they become arrogant without stealing a little bit?
But if you steal other things, how can you steal his grandfather and grandfather's feelings for him?
No, why did you start stealing so early?
His grandfather was still there at that time.
"Lai Sheng..."
Jia Zhen looked back at Lai Sheng, who was like sifting chaff, and said in a faint voice, "Do you want to live?"
