Chapter 133 Choice
In Lixiangyuan, in the study, Jia Zheng was simply stunned.
After his father left, if he was afraid of anyone, it was the sister-in-law from Dongfu.
Especially when he saw two of the strong women holding big sticks in their hands, he couldn't help but tremble with his legs, "Sister-in-law, you, what are you talking about? I...how could I sell Zhen'er?"< br>
"Haha, did Sister-in-law Shen misunderstand something?"
It was the first time that Wang Zisheng saw the Shen Guards dispatched. In the blink of an eye, eight strong women entered the study. The first two were carrying big sticks, and the last six were holding feather dusters. If they don't get along, they will use force.
He forced a smile and said: "This, this Mr. Lu is not an outsider. He is now my in-laws and can be regarded as the father-in-law of my Ren'er. I also said that when the children get married, I will also invite my sister-in-law to come over and have a glass of wine. .”
No wonder his sister had a headache when she saw this Shen.
Damn it, who comes to the brother-in-law’s house next door to be like this?
"Yes, yes, I'm in Xialu Kun, meeting Mrs. Shen."
Lu Kun was very panicked, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and said: "Yesterday I came over to give a gift to Madam..."
"Gift?"
Shen Ning looked at her son in confusion.
"No!"
Jia Zhen shook her head, "It's not a gift, it's an apology." He said sternly to Lu Kun: "Master Lu, there are some things you can say, and some things... you can't say nonsense, otherwise I will send you to Shuntian Mansion with a complaint. It’s not good.”
"Ah? That's right, it's an apology, an apology!"
Everyone said that the men in charge of the Ning and Rong houses were idiots.
Is this Jia Zhen a idiot?
At this moment, Lu Kun only regretted that he had believed the rumors before, so that he didn't even give the gift.
I even hate the fact that with the power of King Jin, people from the gambling house asked the Jia family members to bet money on their daughter's full moon wine.
During this night, Lu Kun inquired a lot, and then he found out that the Jia family's rule against gambling was set by Mrs. Shen in anger that day.
He...has offended this mother and son a long time ago, right?
Lu Kun's head was dripping with cold sweat, "Please forgive me, Mrs. Shen. Lu is willing to..."
"Stop!"
Shen Ning sat on the chair brought by Qingzhu, blocking the door to the study, "Master Wang Er, are you sure he is your in-laws?"
"Huh? Yes, yes."
Wang Zisheng laughed, "Please, sister-in-law, for the sake of both families..."
"...Before you came, did your eldest brother Wang Ziteng know?"
Shen Ning didn't let him finish, but instead asked Wang Ziteng.
Just as outsiders look down on Jia She and Jia Zhen, she also looks down on Wang Zisheng.
The only person in the Wang family who can really make the decision is Wang Ziteng.
"I know, I know!"
Wang Zisheng gritted his teeth. He hated the way outsiders treated him and his eldest brother differently. "Sister-in-law also knows that Ren'er is the only male in our Wang family. In the future, he will be the third wife of our direct branch."
< br>
So his son is very important.
No matter how powerful his eldest brother is, it is useless without a son.
As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
Wang Zisheng's back straightened a little, "Now that Lian'er has become a doctor in the arsenal department, it won't be long before my eldest brother recovers from his injury and will return to the capital. Ren'er's wife can only give birth to a son and a half in my Wang family." …”
"This is the Jia family."
Shen Ning interrupted him, "Jia Zheng, are you sure you want your uncle to bring a so-called in-law to bully your eldest nephew in the Jia family?"
Jia Zheng: "..."
He looked at this, then that, and murmured: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me if you have to, our two families are now relatives."
Jia Zheng didn't think this was a big deal.
Xie Zhenghu is dead, and the revenge of that day has been avenged.
Lu Kun also suffered a terrible disaster.
"Even if you don't care about me and Wang, you still want to care about Lian'er and Feng Yatou."
Anyway, he confiscated the Lu family's money.
Jia Zheng felt confident for himself, "This relative has something to do with his family. If we can help, we have to help. How can we..."
"What did he give you?"
Shen Ning's eyes were sharp, "Is that a roll of banknotes?"
ah?
Jia Zheng was stunned, "This, this is not for me, this is for Zhen'er."
"Yes!" Jia Zhen nodded honestly when her mother looked over, "But my son has no intention of asking for it."
"Oh~" Shen Ning nodded and looked at the second fool Jia Zheng, "What did he give you?"
"..."
Jia Zheng wanted to straighten his back and say that the other party gave him a bloodstone seal.
He is a scholar, so something as vulgar as money is not worthy of him.
But what does the sister-in-law’s pity, contempt and understanding look mean?
Jia Zheng was ashamed and angry, "Soapstone seal, if my sister-in-law thinks it's inappropriate for me to accept the gift..."
"How come? Aren't you relatives?"
Shen Ning half-smiled, "But, Jia Zheng, do you know that Lu Kun has a nickname, called the God of Wealth? As far as I know, his gifts are never single items."
Jia Zheng: "..."
Lu Kun: "..."
Wang Zisheng: "..."
"I don't think Mr. Lu wanted to be so rude at first, right?"
Shen Ning continued: "But Mr. Wang Er said that giving Jia Zheng a chicken-blood stone seal would be enough. You asked him for help, so you just gave him a chicken-blood stone seal."
Bloodstone seals are indeed quite rare, but there were two of them on the gift list this person gave her family.
"Haha, sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Wang Zisheng was smiling, but there was cruelty in his eyes, "Are you trying to sow discord between our families? My brother-in-law is a scholar, magnanimous and noble. You women don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense."< br>
Snap~
Bang~~
Shen Ning applauded him, "Second Brother Wang is really sharp-tongued. He will look down on you even if you look down on him. He also said something elegant and noble." She looked at Jia Zheng, who had a trembling beard, and said, "Brother Zheng, he also said that I am a womanizer. I don’t understand anything, do you think I understand?”
Jia Zheng: "..."
If there is a crack in the ground, he will definitely get into it.
If he really wanted to compare with Wen..., he might not be able to defeat this sister-in-law.
But at this time, it didn't seem right to ask him to agree with any one of them.
"Zhen'er, do you see that?" Shen Ning lost her last bit of patience towards Jia Zheng who was still reluctant to speak. "My life, your sister's life, and your life together are not as good as those of your second uncle and brother's family." The in-laws are important.”
Jia Zhen: "..."
His eyes quickly turned cold.
"No, no, it's not..."
Lu Kun wanted to explain, but Shen Ning interrupted coldly, "Is it your turn as an outsider to speak about our family's affairs?"
"Sister-in-law Shen, it's boring for you to be like this." Wang Zisheng was also very angry and walked forward two steps: "The Lu family didn't know anything about the eldest nephew. It was his housekeeper..."
"Whether it's a housekeeper or a scapegoat, you know it and I know it."
Shen Ning interrupted coldly and said to Xing'er who was standing aside: "Go and invite Mr. Wang over. I don't want to talk to unreasonable and messy people."
"Yes!"
Xing'er ran out in a hurry.
"Jia Zheng, you have two options now. One is to clean up, go to the ancestral hall, and figure out where you went wrong. The other is to take a knife and cut off your robe. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Ning Guofu lineage. .”
What?
Jia Zheng was shocked, "Sister-in-law~"
"Uncle Zheng, the lives of my family of three are at stake."
Jia Zhen didn't need to speak to his mother. She looked at Jia Zheng and said in a cold voice, "Come here, go and invite the old lady. Then hurry up and go to the Imperial College to ask Uncle Zhu to go home."
"...Yes!"
Another boy stood up. Seeing that he was about to run away, Mrs. Wang in the back room finally couldn't sit still. "Wait a minute!" She walked out eagerly, "Sister-in-law!"
She wanted to plead, but Shen Ning gave her a cold look, "If you think that the separation of ties between Jia Zheng and Ning Guofu is less important than your son's studies, then say it and I will listen."
Wang: "..."
She didn't dare to say anything.
But how did things come to this point?
It's obviously just a matter of saying something.
Nephew Wang Ren will be the father-in-law of the family in the future. Having a wealthy in-law family will be of great benefit to the entire Wang family.
The Wang family and the Jia family are old relatives, shouldn't they hope for each other's betterment?
Why do you have to fall out over a trivial matter?
Do you still have to connect a charlatan assassin with the Lu family?
When they do business, don’t they have to be all-rounded and not offend anyone?
The Wang family is related to the Xue family, an imperial merchant, and they know very well that these merchants are all about being friendly and making money.
Sister-in-law is like this...
It’s because they don’t want their Wang family to be happy.
But at this time, looking at the looks of Shen and Jia Zhen, Wang really didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Their second room in the Jia family was getting worse and worse.
After a while the old lady will come, and so will her elder brother.
Wang didn't believe the old lady, but she believed in her elder brother.
"Haha, Sister-in-law Shen is really majestic!"
Wang did not speak, but Wang Zisheng could not sit idly by. Especially when the other party said he was a bastard.
He was so angry that he was about to jump, "I, the elder brother, are still here, and you don't even allow my sister to speak. You don't even know what to do at ordinary times. Jia Zheng, you are a useless thing, just looking at the other side." Fang’s sister-in-law came to your house and bullied you. Will she bully your wife again?”
Jia Zheng: "..."
He's going crazy.
His mind was also working rapidly.
"Sister-in-law~" he whined, "If it were my eldest brother who begged for mercy for his uncle and his family today, would you still do this?"
"In-laws?"
Shen Ning didn't know if she should be thankful that this guy had been idle in the Ministry of Works, so he didn't cause trouble for the family. "Jia Zheng, you still think you are right, just because we, mother and son, are targeting you?"
"Isn't it?"
Jia Zheng was about to cry.
It's obviously not a big deal, but it has to be on the line, embarrassing him.
"How difficult is it to just go to Shuntian Mansion and tell me something? My sister-in-law insists on holding me back and forcing me to choose between Zhen'er and my uncle. Isn't this targeted?"
Jia Zheng was also very angry and resentful, "You keep saying that I don't care about my nephew, but Zhen'er, can't you step back for my second uncle? You often played with Wang Ren in the past, so you can't think about him." ”
Why do you have to ask him to accommodate them every time?
If he doesn't be tougher this time, in the future... he will really be out of pocket and out of breath as his second uncle said.
Jia Zheng did not want to back down for the sake of his dignity.
"Hoo~"
Jia Zhen smiled inexplicably, "It seems that Uncle Zheng still feels aggrieved?"
When people are extremely speechless, they will really make them laugh.
"First of all, Uncle She will not make things difficult for his nephew for outsiders. When I went to the Chen family to cause trouble, he was afraid that I would suffer a loss, so he immediately brought people to help. I was assassinated, my mother had a difficult delivery, and Uncle She sent a lot of people. While he is chasing the murderer outside, he will stay at Ningguo Mansion and wait for my family to be safe.”
He didn't even know how Jia Zheng had the nerve to compare with Uncle Shen.
"May I ask Uncle Zheng, what were you doing at that time?"
Jia Zheng: "..."
His face was pale and speechless.
He also wanted to speak for the Chen family at that time.
Mr. Chen was in the Ministry of Industry with him, and the other party was always polite to him. The eldest brother and Zhen'er were mixed people. When he heard that the two families were fighting, he preemptively judged his own side to be at fault.
As for Jane's assassination and my sister-in-law's birth...
"I won't mention those things."
In Dream of Red Mansions, the Jia family, from master to slave, can take over all lawsuits regardless of right or wrong for a little money.
This is what Shen Ning hates the most, "But Jia Zheng, you keep talking about relatives, asking us to let the Lu family go for the sake of the relatives. Then let me ask you, do the Wang family and the Lu family have a marriage certificate? Do you have the ability to let the Lu family go?" He took out the marriage certificate on the spot. What happened today is that we, mother and son, made a mistake. But if there is no marriage certificate... then think carefully with your stupid head, why the Lu family suddenly wanted to marry the Wang family. "
"There is no marriage certificate, but Brother Lu and I have exchanged tokens."
Wang Zisheng knew that this matter had not been investigated, so he just said it as a token. "My eldest nephew should know that we men always stick to our word when we speak."
Mrs. Shen said that he was a bastard and was not willing to talk to him. Well, he also thought that she was a womanizer.
"So this token was exchanged yesterday?"
Jia Zhen sneered, "Mother, if someone wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb, we can't explain it."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
That's the damn ghost who can't be persuaded by words.
Now that he has a relationship with the Lu family, he is waiting to be targeted by the emperor!
Even if the emperor can't move now, in the future... the descendants' family may not be able to escape disaster.
"The old lady will be here in a moment."
The weather is getting hotter, and there's no ice basin here, so it won't be good if it gets hot.
Jia Zhen lowered her head to discuss with her mother: "The place here is small, mother, let's wait in the flower hall."
If he, Wang Ziteng, can control Wang Zisheng, for the sake of his relatives, he will do something that needs to be done, otherwise, they can do whatever they want to do to commit suicide!
Shen Ning nodded and was about to get up when a maid ran in. "Madam, uncle, someone is coming from the palace. Grandma wants you to go back quickly!"
Someone from the palace?
Shen Ning and Jia Zhen looked at each other with some understanding.
"Mother, I'll help you get into the sedan, don't be in a hurry."
Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were handed over at once, and it was reasonable for the emperor to reward him.
Jia Zhen didn't care about the emperor's silver reward, what he cared about was the dignity.
Even though his father was not at home, he still supported Ningguo Mansion.
"Then let's go, here..., we'll talk about it later."
The mother and son hurried back again, but in the Rongguo Mansion, the masters of each house sent people to inquire, for fear of getting some bad news.
When they found out that it was the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor who were giving the reward, everyone in the mansion was convinced.
Only Lixiangyuan was silent.
Everyone has their own worries, among which Lu Kun has the most worries.
He had a terrifying guess.
He quietly gestured to his confidant on the other side of the doorpost.
The boy looked at it and nodded hurriedly and solemnly to exit.
Just at this moment, another boy ran in frantically, "Master and Madam, the eldest uncle of the Wang family is here."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ziteng, who was not greeted by anyone, was already carried in by his close guards.
"Brother!"
"Brother~"
Jia Zheng, Wang, and Wang Zisheng all greeted him.
Wang Ziteng waved his hands and spared their courtesy, but glanced at Lu Kun with cold eyes, "It turns out that Mr. Lu is here too. That would be great. No matter what my second brother promises you, I will not count it. My Wang family Everything is decided by me, Wang Ziteng.”
"Brother~"
The prince who just ran away decided not to do it anymore, "As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. I have already exchanged tokens with the Lu family."
"You are confused."
Wang Ziteng scolded his brother, "I told you a long time ago that I have the final say in Ren'er's affairs."
The situation in the DPRK was changing rapidly, but his stupid second brother's eyes were still fixed on that small amount of money.
He forcefully ordered his subordinates: "Send off guests!"
Wang Jin hurriedly stepped forward, "Master Lu, please!"
Lu Kun: "..."
He grabbed the roll of banknotes that he had not given away and said to Wang Zisheng: "Second Master's kindness, Lu will bear it in mind."
He handed over to Wang Zisheng, and then he strode away.
If nothing can be done, we can only think of a way out.
The Lu family cannot be like the Li family in Jiangnan, where they can be taken over by others. They have to save a few.
"Hey, Mrs. Lu..."
"Shut up!"
"Brother!"
Wang Zisheng was really anxious, "What are you going to do?" He gave his son a concubine, so why couldn't he make the decision?
"Brother, what happened?"
Wang couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw her eldest brother.
"We can't touch the Lu family."
"Is it because of Jia Zhen?"
Wang Zisheng still wanted to stamp his feet with his brother.
"There is a relationship with Jia Zhen, but..."
Wang Ziteng knew that his brother was noisy and raised his hands, "Now it's mainly because of the above."
He still has some connections in the military.
Otherwise, it's over.
"If you don't want to die, just be honest."
Wang Ziteng told his brother, "Whatever the Lu family gives you, return it to me immediately."
ah?
Wang Zisheng was stunned.
His money has already been promised!
"Brother, Mr. Lu just gave me a piece of bloodstone."
Jia Zheng was timid and hurriedly stepped forward and asked Wang Ziteng to make up his mind, "Can I just ask someone to return it right now?"
Wang Ziteng: "..."
A piece of bloodstone, what else do you want?
Moreover, when Lu Kun takes action, is it just a piece of bloodstone?
Ask for a ticket
