Chapter 132 Asking the Guilty
June 16th is the time to move, open a business, break ground, give blessings, and lay the bed...
Early in the morning, Yingchun and Tanchun took their little maids with them. , came over to help Mr. Zhan move.
Of course, Daiyu and her younger brother Lin Changan, who also wanted to study together, also came together.
Zhan Xue, who is the teacher, did not dislike their young age. One gave a book and the other a few ingots of ink, giving them a sense of pride that when the teacher was busy and the disciples worked hard, they were so majestic and happy. Le De moved all the way from Rongguo Mansion to Ningguo Mansion.
The desks, desks, piano room, chess room, studio, etc. are all ready here.
The spacious and bright Ningxixuan suddenly became lively due to their arrival.
"Aunt~"
Lin Changan's eyes were sharp. When he saw Shen Ning coming out of the inner room, his eyes rolled with laughter and he ran over, "You are coming too. Will you help Mr. move?”
“Yes!”
Shen Ning touched his little head and nodded with a smile to Zhan Xue, who was saluting, "These children will be troublesome to Mr. Zhan from now on."
"Madam, you're welcome."
Zhan Xue didn't expect that , Mrs. Shen will come over in person, "Mencius said, a gentleman has three kinds of happiness. Although I am not a gentleman, since I am the teacher of children, it is also a great blessing in life!"
"Sir, you can teach me." We are also our blessing!"
Yingchun took Tanchun and Daiyu and saluted Shen Ning, "Auntie, we are here. You and your husband sit down, we will be busy soon. .”
"Haha, I'll leave it to you then."
Shen Ning was very happy about the changes in the Spring Festival, "Mr. Zhan, let's have a cup of tea over there!"
Zhan Xue He nodded with a smile and went with her.
Both of them were not worried about the children. Yesterday, Qingzhu brought Ning Xixuan’s four wives and two maids to meet them. Now they are following Zhan Xue’s maid Wei Dong to arrange the arrangements. , the children are the ones doing the kicking, but the focus is on participation.
“I won’t ask about the children’s learning issues. Mr. Zhan must have more experience than me.”
"I don't dare. Zhan Xue has heard of Mrs. Shen's name when she was at home when she was young."
Sure enough, there is no false person under the famous name.
Many people in the capital envied Mrs. Shen back then. She was respected and loved by her husband, and loved and loved by her parents-in-law.
I heard that when her mother-in-law passed away, she transferred all her private property to Mrs. Shen and left nothing for her son.
Looking at Mrs. Shen’s treatment of Grandma You now, it seems that the same is true.
Zhan Xue envied such a family atmosphere because she didn't have it.
It can be said that there is only one like this among the tens of thousands of people in the entire capital city.
She also liked being able to transfer to Ningguofu to teach.
"...That's all in the past."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "Besides welcoming you, I have one more thing to do when I come here this time."
"Say."
Zhan Xue still admires this woman who may have changed the fate of the entire Jia family.
"I heard that your husband is also good at playing the piano?"
"Yes!"
If you want to be a female gentleman in such a wealthy family, you have to have some skills. .
Zhan Xue is very confident in the field in which she is good.
“I wonder if you will accept older students?”
Huh?
Isn’t it Mrs. Shen who wants to learn the piano?
Zhan Xue smiled and said, "Hold it! Confucius said that there is no difference in education, let alone age?"
"That's great."
Shen Ning smiled, "My daughter-in-law, Youshi, really wants to learn the piano, but she has to take care of the house and the board of directors in the morning, and doesn't have much time..."
"Okay. In the afternoon, you can also come and study for half an hour in the evening.”
It’s not Mrs. Shen. Unfortunately, Zhan Xue feels that her psychological pressure is much less.
“Then it’s settled.”
Shen Ning was very satisfied and said with a smile: "When Ning Xixuan is in order, I will ask her to come and learn from her."
"Yes, anytime."
A sheep It is herding, and a group of sheep is also herding.
It doesn’t matter.
The two reached an agreement, looked at each other and smiled. Just as they were waiting to say something else, the nanny hugged little Jia Yue who was crying.
In fact, the little girl walks with Shen Ning at this time every day.
Nowadays, if you can’t find anyone, if you don’t know how to talk, people will cry.
“Oh, do you miss your mother?”
Shen Ning hugged her daughter and introduced Zhan Xue to her with a smile, “Look, this is the gentleman my mother abducted specially for you.”
Zhan Xue: "..."
Is this word "guai" serious?
It seems so.
"Haha, don't blame Mr. Zhan," Shen Ning said while holding her little daughter: "The main reason is that my child liked to listen to her eldest nephew read when she was still in my belly."
< br>"...I heard Yingchun say it."
Zhan Xue smiled at her future student, "I was worried that you really wanted to send her over before she could crawl and let me teach her how to speak. .”
"Haha, so you are mentally prepared for this?"
"As long as you are willing, it's not impossible."
When I was in Rongguo Mansion, although it was menial work and so on , there is a dedicated rough wife to do it, but Zhan Xue's maid is only Wei Dong.
But it's different here. The mother-in-law and the maid have matched her with six people.
So, having one more child is really nothing.
"This is to the point."
Shen Ning smiled, "It's true that I can't bear to part with it, but it's okay occasionally!"
Zhan Xue: "..."
Really?
"Her sisters are all here. You see, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, I hold her over for half an hour to feel the atmosphere of the school. How about letting her sisters hug her at the same time? ”
"Of course."
Just half an hour.
Zhan Xue breathed a sigh of relief. When the little girl shouted "Ahhh" to her, he couldn't help but touch her little hand. She was about to say, "Let me hug you" when Qing Ping hurriedly ran to her. Come here, "Madam, I have something urgent to ask you."
......
At Jia Zheng's study in Lixiangyuan, Jia Zhen met Lu Kun again, and they had a cordial and friendly meeting. Later, he listened to Jia Zheng bragging about his new bloodstone seal.
Jia Zheng, who had never been praised by anyone, rarely received such a beautiful bloodstone, and he was very willing to say a few good words for Lu Kun.
But he didn’t know the truth of the matter, he only praised people and was not involved in the matter.
As time passed, Lu Kun became more and more anxious and winked at Prince Sheng frequently.
“Hey, eldest nephew.”
Wang Zisheng waited for him to be anxious.
Otherwise, how can we show him off? Seeing that it was time to take action, he carelessly stuffed a roll of banknotes into Jia Zhen's arms, "Let me introduce you again, Mr. Lu is now my Ren'er's father-in-law."
"Jia Zhen Sir..."
Lu Kun had a smile on his face, and just as he was about to hand over his hand, Wang Zisheng had already pressed him down, "What are you calling Mr. Jia, you are so rich," he turned to Jia Zhen and said with a smile. : "For the sake of my uncle and your second uncle Zheng, how about letting him go through the gambling house?"
"What gambling house?"
Jia Zheng, who didn't know anything at the side, felt something was wrong when he saw the roll of banknotes. Hearing this, he suddenly became serious, "Zhen'er, you went to a gambling house? How could you go to a gambling house?"
< br>In the past, he had looked down upon this unlearned nephew.
Now I am even more unhappy.
Especially during the time at the ancestral hall, this nephew was clearly on the eldest brother's side.
Hmph, my sister-in-law keeps talking all day long, are you okay now?
Jia Zheng felt faintly excited in his heart, "Your mother established the clan rules in front of the whole family..."
"It's not about gambling."
Wang Zisheng After receiving Lu Kun's look, he quickly stopped him and said, "Oh, I'm here to talk to my eldest nephew about something. If you have anything to do, Cunzhou, go and get busy." He called out Jia Zheng's name, "If you have nothing to do, just sit down and listen. We are all relatives." , let’s talk about it.”
He just invited Jia Zhen here through Jia Zheng, “My nephew, it’s not easy to do business, you have to be merciful and generous! You can’t go back on your word if you have someone else’s money, right?”
“Hey, Uncle Sheng, is there some misunderstanding?”
Jia Zhen took out a roll of banknotes from her arms and said, "He came to apologize, and I collected the money. What did I pay for, and what did I do against you?"
"Then this matter...is over?"
Lu Kun urgently needed a guarantee from Jia Zhen and handed it over again, "So, thank you so much."
"Hahaha, it's over of course."
Prince Sheng laughed loudly and then ordered: "Now that it's over, eldest nephew, you should tell the Wucheng Bingma Division and Shuntian Mansion to prevent them from looking for Lu's family all the time."
Jia Zheng listened in confusion.
His second uncle is usually very out of tune.
If Master Lu hadn’t come with him and gave him this piece of bloodstone...
Jia Zheng’s brows furrowed again and again.
When the second uncle just stuffed the banknote, he didn't see it clearly, but now Jia Zhen took it out. Although the banknote was rolled up and couldn't be seen completely, the word 'ten thousand' on it was clearly shining.
If this roll of banknotes is all in units of ‘ten thousand’, then it’s not just young or old!
Furthermore, according to what he meant, Mr. Lu had given Zhen'er money before.
Hiss~
How much Jia Zheng liked that piece of bloodstone just now, he was so angry now.
But he had no idea that Lu Kun originally wanted to give him money, but Wang Zi Shengfei said that the chicken blood stone would be enough to make him overjoyed.
"For businessmen, there are always officers and soldiers looking for them, so how can customers dare to come?"
As he said this, Wang Zisheng also winked at Lu Kun.
Lu Kun said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, there are officers and soldiers at the bank and outside my house now." Seeing that they looked more severe than yesterday, he was also afraid.
"How about it, my eldest nephew? I will accompany you and my in-laws on a trip together?"
The prince won the hand of Lu Kun and got tens of thousands of silver.
In the future, when someone else's daughter marries, she will be given a dowry of about one million yuan.
With so much money, his Wang family will surely be able to prosper for several more generations.
"Oh~"
Jia Zhen put the roll of banknotes on the table, "I'm afraid not, Mr. Lu gave too much money, Jia Zhen didn't dare to do it on her own, so yesterday The son entered the palace and handed it over to the emperor. Now... the emperor has the final say."
Lu Kun: "..."
He looked at Wang Zisheng eagerly.
“Eldest nephew, things are different now!”
Wang Zisheng was also a little anxious, “Didn’t you not know the relationship between the Lu family and our two families yesterday? Now that Got it, go to the palace and ask for a favor from the emperor..."
"Uncle thinks too highly of me."
Jia Zhen waved her hands repeatedly, "We are the only ones in this palace. Where to go back on your word? ”
"Then what do you mean?"
Wang Zisheng's voice suddenly became louder, "Zhen'er, why are you acting so hard now that you don't leave any room for others? The emperor is responsible for everything, he can remember Is this the case? Be good, listen to me. If you don’t want to go to the palace, I will accompany you to the Wucheng Bingma Division and Shuntian Mansion, and we will quietly withdraw the case."
< br>“I don’t dare!”
Jia Zhen waved her hands repeatedly.
"Liu Youfu has pleaded guilty."
Lu Kun finally said, "If you can't withdraw the case, then just close it." After saying that, he stood up and gave Jia Zhen a deep bow. "As long as the case is closed, the officers and soldiers will definitely withdraw. Just as it happens, the bank is over there." There is still a little bit of stock that Lu is willing to give to Mr. Jia.”
“Zhen’er, we are all from my family.”
As he said this, Wang Zisheng stepped on Jia Zheng to signal him. Help and advise.
Jia Zheng: "..."
He didn't even bother to look at his uncle and said, "I'm confused by what you're saying. Zhen'er, do you have a grudge with the Lu family?"
"It's like this..."
Lu Kun hurriedly told him that his housekeeper owed a favor to the dwarf assassin Xie Zhenghu and took him in behind his back. "Now Liu Youfu has confessed to Shuntian Mansion, but, Because of the relationship between the two governments, Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Military and Horse Division did not dare to close the case at will."
He was smart enough not to mention Jia Zhen, but the two governments, "Then Liu Youfu is my steward, he has. Wrong, of course I have to apologize to Mr. Jia. That is really not a bribe."
At this point, Lu Kun's eyes turned red, "I just thought about settling this matter as soon as possible and reopening the business. Get up, otherwise... Mr. Jia Er, you also know that those officers and soldiers usually have nothing to do, but now they find an opportunity to seal not only my gambling house, but also my bank and home. "
"Eldest nephew," Wang Zisheng felt that the two of them could handle this matter. "It's just a matter of your words. The relationship between our two families is still here. Brother-in-law, you also have to say something."< br>
"...Zhen'er, let's go to Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division!"
Jia Zheng glanced at his uncle and said, "We are all relatives now, and this matter has nothing to do with the Lu family." It has nothing to do with it. As long as the case is settled by the Emperor... and Shuntian Mansion, nothing will happen."
His daughter is about to marry Marquis Xinping.
Speaking of which, the Jia family and the emperor are now considered in-laws.
“When you collect the banknotes, you are one family. If you do this again, you are heresy.”
As he spoke, Jia Zheng glanced at the banknote and said: "It just so happens that I have some free time today, so I will go with you for a walk."
"This is not a heretic, it is a bit of sincerity."< br>
How dare Lu Kun take it back?
He grabbed the roll of silver and tried to stuff it into Jia Zhen's hand, "Master Jia..." His voice was pleading, "You..."
"Zhen'er, take it. Let’s go!”
Mrs. Wang also spoke in the inner room, "I will accompany your second uncle and the others to withdraw the case. I will ask Ren'er to come over later. Thank you very much."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Zisheng laughed and grabbed Jia Zhen, "After this is done, I'll treat you to a drink."
"What kind of drink..."
When Shen Ning's voice sounded outside the house, a strong woman had already kicked open the study door, and several young men not far away were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, "Master Wang Er, tell me. ”
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen felt that her mother's expression was wrong and rushed over, "My son doesn't drink, my son..."
"Did I ask you?"
Shen Ning's eyes were fixed on the dull Jia Zheng and the others, "Jia Zheng, are you going to sell your nephew for money?"
