Chapter 18 Surprise
Rongguo Mansion, Jia Muyuan.
Jia Mu had heard from Lai’s daughter-in-law early in the morning about the matter of Dongfu Lai’s daughter-in-law.
Now she is not happy to hear her son and daughter-in-law talking about Lai Sheng's wife.
After all, that is Dongfu's business. She is an aunt in the next room. It is not good to extend her hand too much.
Especially when Shen Ning is in a critical period and her emotions are sensitive. If one is not good, the two houses will lose their previous closeness because of a slave.
“Old lady, this is not Lai Sheng’s daughter-in-law’s fault alone.”
Seeing the old lady frowning, her husband Jia Zheng, who had originally listened to her words, was about to be reprimanded because of the old lady’s attitude. Withdrawing, Mrs. Wang could only go up by herself, "I heard from Zhou Rui's family that more than half of the people in Dongfu have been detained. Although these people are slaves, they are all children of the family. Our Jia family is very generous to the servants. Now that my sister-in-law and Zhen'er are doing this, what will others think of our two houses?"
Mrs. Wang was very sincere, "Look, do you want to take care of it?"
She cares?
Mother Jia, who was leaning on the couch, glanced at her second daughter-in-law and said, "Wait a minute!"
A group of Jia family members who were studying in the school were all beaten. How many slaves do you care about?
Although Mother Jia was slightly dissatisfied with Shen Ning and Jia Zhen for making such a big move because of a rumor, she had no intention of taking action immediately.
Dongfu is the eldest house after all.
Although Shen Ning does not have a royal title, with Jia Jing and Jia Zhen, she is still the most noble woman in the Jia family after her.
As the aunt in the next room, although she can suppress her in terms of status, the rumors are too vicious. If she helps the person who spreads the rumors, what will she become?
"Your sister-in-law has always done things in a measured way, and Zhen'er is not a ruthless person. Let's see what Lai Sheng does!"
Lai Sheng is the big housekeeper in the house over there. , his wife was sent home without being anxious, so why should a master or a wife be anxious?
Jia Mu has long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's exercise of power.
It’s just that the children she gave birth to are good, so I have to support them.
Two generations of aunts from the Wang family have married into the Jia family, and Jia's mother is quite relieved about Wang Ziteng.
However, these two generations of aunts are in their Rongguo Mansion. If Shen Ning and Jia Zhen are dissatisfied with them in Ningguo Mansion... they will always come over to talk to them after finishing what needs to be done. Anyway, it is a matter of benefit distribution.
"By the way, where is Lian'er? Let him go over and ask Brother Zhen how much trouble is going to go on."
It's easier for them to talk together as brothers.
Even if what Lian'er said was wrong, Jia Zhen would not do anything to him.
On the contrary, once uncles like She Er and Zheng Er speak out and have a falling out, many things in the future will be difficult to deal with.
"This is what Lian'er should be worried about. As uncles and aunts, you should let go when it's time to let go."
Jia Mu is not actually worried about Jia Zhen.
Compared to Ningguo Mansion, she still supports Rongguo Mansion. Although the eldest grandson Zhu'er is not a candidate for the title, he is very good at studying.
He will not follow Jia Jing’s path, nor will he follow Zheng’er’s path.
Jia's mother believed that Jia Zhu could pass the exam with her own ability.
When the time comes, with the help of the Li family and the backing of the Jia family, we will definitely be able to outperform others.
"Okay, you all go down and let Lian'er come over..."
Before the old lady finished speaking, a howl was accompanied by messy and urgent footsteps, He rushed in, "Old lady, help me!"
Aunt Lai rushed to Jia Mu's bed, "Uncle Zhen wants to raid my home."
What?
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang stood up immediately.
“What’s going on?”
Jia Mu thought she was hearing things.
Jia Zhen is fine, how could she copy it here?
"I don't know this!"
Mother Lai was going crazy. "Uncle Zhen led a group of house guards and servants, like wolves and tigers, and they suddenly came to our house and captured us. Everyone in the family!”
She saw just a few of Jia Zheng’s ‘bang bang bang’ sounds, “Second Master, go and save my family Lai Da!” ~"
"Mother~"
"Go!"
Jia Mu didn't care anymore, "Let's go see that bastard too. What are you going to do?"
She was also angry.
Aunt Lai is her dowry maid. She has been with her through thick and thin for so many years. Now she can finally be an old feudal lord and enjoy the blessings. But Jia Zhen wants to raid her home. It’s really big. Courage, what a long hand!
"Where is the eldest master?"
Jia Mu called repeatedly, "Go, call him up quickly."
The second son was clumsy and pedantic, and there was nothing he could do about Jia Zhen messing around.
But the eldest son is different. He can be more promiscuous than Jia Zhen.
Jia She didn’t know that his old lady missed him so much.
Over at Dongfu, there was a commotion for most of the night last night, and he didn't bother to take care of the closure of the house.
After all, he can't even manage his own family.
But...
Jia She looked at Xing'er kneeling in front of him, grabbed the paper with a few lines of words in his hand, and paced back and forth for a long time, "Your uncle Did you really think about it? "
Robbing Lai Sheng's house, he sealed it and paused in the middle of the raid. He took a bunch of people with him and escorted Lai Sheng to raid everyone else.
Jia She was convinced.
Are you afraid that Lai Da will transfer his property?
Or is he afraid that his old lady will ask him to stop, so he will just stop doing it and never stop doing it?
“Yes!”
Xing’er trembled.
At this moment, he was scared and excited.
There is always a housekeeper in the house.
Although he is not qualified to be a housekeeper, with Lai Sheng's downfall, most of the people in the house will be gone, so there will be more room for him to be promoted.
"Master, you'd better go quickly, otherwise, the old lady and the second master inside will get the news, and many things will be inconvenient."
This?
Jia She finally stood still, "Come here, bring the water and fire sticks, and come with me to steal Lai's family."
Lai Da definitely has more than 20,000 silver in his hands.
If he really does what Jia Zhen said, he will make a fortune.
Hmph!
Of course Jia She also dislikes Lai Da.
He was obviously the one who wanted to seize the title, but the servants in the house all called him the second brother, master. Instead, he became the eldest master, as if he was the one who took care of his younger brother.
When Jia She led a group of boys and attacked Lai's family through the southeast corner gate, Jia Zheng and two boys rushed to his yard. It turned out that he was also worried that he could not convince Jia Zhen and wanted to call his eldest brother.
“What did you say?”
Hearing that his eldest brother actually led a group of people to kill him, Jia Zheng’s face changed color, for fear that he was going to kill someone. Lai Da takes revenge and wants to fight with the people of Dongfu.
"Quick, chase the eldest master."
When he called people to chase Jia She, Jia Zheng himself started running.
Ah ah ah, if a fight breaks out, their Jia family will be doomed.
What did Lai Da do!
Obviously he was fine when he came back from Dongfu!
At the same time, when Shen Ning heard that Jia Zhen had suspended the house raids here and instead brought most of her men to raid everyone, Shen Ning was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Brother Rong, what did you say about your father? Is this the right thing to do?"
Jia Rong: "..."
He was a little confused.
It seems wrong to say that his father was reluctant to part with Lai Sheng and had changed his mind. He left Jiao Da to watch Lai Sheng's house.
With Jiao Da here, the left-behind personnel over there will not dare to do tricks.
But it’s good, I copied half of it, and then I went to copy the Lai family in Xifu...
“It should be right.”
Jia Rong's voice was clear, "The Lai family has been operating in the two houses for a long time. If we can't hit them all with one blow, there will be endless troubles."
Why are there six women guarding outside?
Isn’t his mother worried about his and his grandmother’s safety?
"The West Mansion is not our East Mansion. My father and grandmother can decide the affairs of the East Mansion. If the Lai family in the West Mansion can't take it all at once, they may not be able to take it. The old lady over there just looks at it. Aunt Lai would not agree."
"...He is indeed a descendant of Ning Guogong!"
Shen Ning touched his head, "Very strategic. ”
It’s not all about doing things blindly.
What a pity...
Shen Ning sighed slightly in her heart, "Your father has thought very carefully."
She didn't even expect it.
Sure enough, the good old Jia Zhen is quite talented.
"Youshi!"
"Mother..."
Youshi is looking at the account books moved from the Lai family.
"Find a few more rough ladies from the kitchen, and transfer a few accounting rooms from the outer courtyard to Brother Rong."
Shen Ning smiled at Jia Rong, who was surprised, " Go and finish the job of confiscating the house.”
“Yes!”
Jia Rong responded loudly.
Although his butt still hurt, he could endure it.
“Bring all your people with you.”
Shen Ning smiled at the grandson who had not grown crooked yet, "Remember, there must be no one around you at any time."
Ningguo Mansion was mostly empty at this moment.
So, she can’t separate out the six women outside.
"My grandson, remember, he will come back soon."
Jia Rong carefully got off the kang, "Mother, I will leave the grandmother's side to you."
< br>"Mother knows it well, go quickly!"
Youshi smiled.
She has been his stepmother for several years, and the child has never been as respectful and close as she is today.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in a very happy mood when they saw Jia Rong leaving with a group of people again.
“Mother!”
It wasn't until no one was in sight that Youshi turned around and said, "Over there in Xifu, do you think it will go well?"
"Yes!"
Since Jia Zhen did it, it should be OK Strive for Jia She's consent.
Shen Ning walked slowly into the garden, "If he can take the lead, half of the battle will be won."
There is no time to transfer the property, so he relies on everyone's property. All the masters in Rong Mansion were shocked.
It’s such a pity that I can’t go there to see it.
“Look back at Lai Sheng’s shop and fields, you and Brother Rong will take half of it each, and the rest...”
Shen Ning felt a kick in the stomach and couldn’t help but touch it, “The rest is Please send it to me. I can use it for another purpose.”
“Yes! Thank you, mother!”
She was not from a high background, and if the betrothal gift had not been quite generous, she might not have been able to stand in front of others.
All dowries are purchased with the original betrothal gift.
Youshi will never forget the suffering of that period.
"Get up, call me mother, why are you so polite?"
Shen Ning's hands were still pressing on the baby's little feet, "I don't actually need you to serve me right now. "She couldn't eat the first-hand food from Rongfu, so she could barely get it second-hand. "How about you go to Xifu and say hello to the old lady?"
She smiled. Said: "By the way, I will scold your uncle in front of them."
Youshi: "..."
She smiled slowly, "I listen to my mother, daughter-in-law." That’s it.”
