Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 499

Zhou Rui's family was frightened all of a sudden, she clicked her mouth, and it took a long time before she could speak.

"Second Grandma, who in this world thinks there is too much gold and silver. Besides, if someone is in a hurry to spend money, it is also a good thing for you to lend money to help others. When I listened to the scriptures last time, the scripture interpreters in the temple also said to help those in need. , is to cultivate merit. Grandma said, right?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui's family, and said word by word, "Don't mention such things again, once again, I can't keep you in this yard. The second master is filial, and he pleases his wife, so she gave it to you." The grandson of our second house can make a living. If I dare to disobey my wife, do things according to my wife's orders, and don't talk to my wife, my second master will divorce me."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly shut up, and slapped himself lightly on the face, "Second Grandma, it's the little one who doesn't know what to do, and the little one doesn't dare."

"Okay, okay. There's nothing else to do today, so you should go back early and rest."

Zhou Rui's family responded and went out.

Mrs. Wang locked the small golden locket, took off the pearls and emeralds on her head, called the servant girl in, helped her to wash up, and then leaned on the kang and closed her eyes to meditate.

What the mother-in-law said to her husband and wife began to roar in her ears word by word.

"You are not allowed to smear shilling money, and you are not allowed to do things that are outrageous. You two dare to miss half a step, second child, I will tell you to regret your birth. For the second family, even if you gave birth to eight sons, I will also give birth to eight sons. You should go back to Wang's house. You don't need to pay a penny for food, clothing, housing and transportation now in Rong Mansion, you can just set aside more property and live your life well."

Every time Wang thinks back to the sharp eyes her mother-in-law looked at her, she has a feeling that she can't hide her thoughts and has nothing to hide.Did the mother-in-law discover something?

After my sister-in-law got married, it seemed that I had never sat with my sister-in-law again.Every time my mother-in-law went to Lin's house, she didn't bring herself with her.Originally, in the yard of my mother-in-law, I spent so much effort to befriend the mandarin ducks, but I was sent to Zhuangzi a few years ago, and I was paired with a farm boy.The newly brought mandarin duck looks like a tender one, so don't pay attention to it.But the big maids around the mother-in-law all started to respect and keep away from themselves.It was also a second-class maid in her own yard, and she got the words out of her sister-in-law's younger sister, who worked as a servant in the mother-in-law's yard.The mandarin ducks were allotted to the farm boys because they were close to him.

"The madam left a message to the sisters in the main courtyard. Whoever dares to be like a mandarin duck is not worthy of a farm boy. What can be done is that even the whole family of my wife will be driven to farm, or have a haircut." selling."

Mother-in-law, you are guarding yourself!

When Wang first came to this conclusion, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.She immediately put away the idea of ​​befriending the maids of the main courtyard and inquiring about the movement of the main courtyard.Now the mother-in-law has added a property with such a large income every month to the second room. It can be seen that the mother-in-law really cares about the second room in her heart. As long as the mother-in-law's beloved son is with her, she will not worry about Zhu'er's future.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang's mouth, Pearl is a good one.

It seems that the mother-in-law has made a long-term plan for Zhu'er, so that's all.

On the contrary, there is only Zhu'er in my room, and she is still a little thin. Now that Yuan Chun is grown up, it's time to have another son.

Wang really guessed right.Since taking over the body, Jia's mother has been guarding against Wang's, not giving her any chance to contact Jia Min.When they took Jia Min back to her natal home, she sent Wang Shi back to her natal home as well; when they went to see Jia Min by themselves, neither of the two daughters-in-law took them with them.She also joked with Jia Min's mother-in-law.

"I'll come to you to relax for a day, so that my daughter-in-law can also relax at home for a day."

As for Mrs. Zhang who lives in the east courtyard, although she and Mrs. Wang are sisters-in-law, they have no contact with each other.

In Wang's eyes, Zhang robbed her of her marriage and was like an enemy.As for Mrs. Zhang, who looked like a weak willow supporting the wind, she had to be supported by her maid when she walked. Every time she saw Mrs. Zhang, she would try her best to restrain herself and not show any disgusted expression.

But Mrs. Zhang despises Mrs. Wang's vulgarity, not to mention the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops. I heard that the women of the Wang family are proud of being virtuous without talent.

Therefore, Mother Jia is not worried that the Wang family will harm the Zhang family.But for Wang's bribery of the maids around her, Jia's mother took the method of killing one to make an example, and the effect was very good.

Regarding the people around the Wang family, Mother Jia asked the housekeeper to keep a close eye on them, and would never allow anyone to use the banner of the Rongguo Mansion to do those loan sharks.Or in the name of the Rongguo Mansion, they are arrogant and domineering outside, bullying the people.

Even Jia Amnesty's long entourage was beaten dozens of times because he bumped into someone while horse racing in the capital, and was sent home.Mother Jia warned everyone that whoever commits crimes will be beaten, and the reputation of the Rongfu will be ruined by sleep, and the whole family will be sold to the salt flats and mines.

The servants of the Rongguo Mansion knew that his wife valued her reputation, and everyone restrained themselves.

Jia Daishan's three-day vacation seemed to pass in the blink of an eye for him.During this period, he got up early to watch his wife and two grandsons practice the sword skills he taught her; The grandson lived in harmony in the main courtyard.He suddenly came up with the idea of ​​resigning from office and returning home to entertain his grandchildren.

Before he could think about this idea carefully, Jia Amnesty called for Zhang's brother-in-law.

"Father, you take the initiative to transfer my eldest brother-in-law to the Imperial Academy." Jia Amnesty straight to the point asked Jia Daishan to move Zhang Zan a place.

"He is too upright. If he continues to stay in the Ministry of Punishment, my son is worried that he will offend everyone in the capital. In the end, I don't know how many people will take their anger out on me and Hu'er."

Jia Amnesty's complaints were not groundless, he did not know how many times he had slapped Zhang Zan's tail in the past few months.When Zhang Zan was in Yushitai, he impeached officials, impeached officials for lax housekeeping, incompetent parenting, connivance and misbehavior among children, and so on. At that time, there was a Taifu in power, and the officials impeached by him had to endure it.

Before the Taifu left Beijing, he got him to the Ministry of Punishment, thinking that there were ministers and servants on it, and he, a doctor, would not be able to do big things, but like this, he could still offend people.

"Enhou, have you asked your uncle what his opinion is?" Jia Daishan had also heard about Zhang Zan.

"Don't try to drag him out of the quagmire for your father. If the Zhang family dislikes the Imperial Academy as having real power compared to the Ministry of Punishment, it will prevent Zhang's eldest son from entering the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister."

Jia Daishan was very cautious about mobilizing Zhang Zan, because seeing that the sage would no longer stay in the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yang Shilang would take over as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in all likelihood, then the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment planned by Zhang Taifu would be vacant immediately.

"Father, before my father-in-law left Beijing, he told his second uncle that if the eldest uncle still doesn't change his temper, he will be transferred to the Imperial Academy. This matter was discussed by my two uncles. Alas, Jiangshan is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change, he still knows himself to some extent."

Jia Amnesty feels sorry for the eldest uncle, seeing that the position of the servant who has been handed over is so lost, the eldest uncle may not have a chance to join the cabinet in this life.

"It's fine if he wants to open it himself and is willing to admit it. In your next post, invite their brothers and your brother-in-law to go to the house for a drink." Jia Daishan felt relieved.Then regret filled my heart again, Zhang Zan was useless because of his character, Zhang Yu was still a good man, Lin Hai was still tender... Alas, ten years, if only I had a child ten years earlier.Now it will take at least another ten years, and Enhou will not be able to retire until he is able to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

After thinking about it, Jia Daishan added, "Let the second brother's uncle come over too."

Jia Amnesty understood his father's meaning in an instant, and he came forward to invite Jia's in-laws, who were the best in his generation.

"Father, would you like to invite cousin Shi Jia?"

Jia Daishan pondered for a moment, "Please. Let Jinger come over for a drink too."

"Brother Jing is coming too?" Jia Amnesty was scratching his head at Jia Jing's incompatibility, he was afraid that Jia Jing might say something inappropriate and disturb the party.

"You respect elder brother this time, and he has grown a lot during this trip to the north and south. You can't look at him with old eyes."

Jia Daishan still remembers how his cousin took care of him, and if he can help his nephew, he still has to.

"Yes. If the father said so, the son will add Brother Jing."

After Jia Amnesty finished writing the post, he brought it to Jia Daishan to have a look. Jia Daishan read it carefully and asked Jia Amnesty to send his entourage to deliver the post.

"Enhou, I went to Jiangnan for my father for half a year. When I came back, I saw that you have changed a lot, and the house has also changed a lot. What's the reason?"

Jia Amnesty was very embarrassed, what should I say?Say again in front of your father what you confessed that day?He prevaricated a few words and then hurried away.

In the evening, Jia Daishan and his wife talked about the holiday and wanted to invite the younger generation to the house for a drink.

"Ma'am, Enhou himself is still a little thin. It's a pity that the boss of the Zhang family, Jing'er, is also out of temper."

Mother Jia reached out and touched his forehead.

"You don't have a fever, my lord. How did you come up with such an idea?"

"Well, Ma'am, I don't hide it from you as a husband. Marrying Taifu Zhang is to see that the boss of the Zhang family is the number one scholar. In the future, he will be able to help each other with Enhou. But the boss of this family, a good number one scholar, also I don’t know if it’s because I’m stupid because of my studies. Who was caught and impeached at the Yushitai. Before the Taifu returned to his hometown, he got him to the Ministry of Punishment. He thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment should retire and he could find a position as a servant. It’s a pity. He's too honest, and now he can't even stay in the Ministry of Punishment."

"What does that have to do with you asking Enhou to invite these people to drink?"

"I just want Enhou to get closer to these in-laws, so that there will be one or two promising ones here in the future, that's fine."

Jia Daishan became impatient, thinking how confused he was, and talked about it with the woman in the inner house.

"Grandpa Guo has a good eye for people. Any one of them mentioned here will be the best of the best. You gather all these young men with culture and military skills in Rongguo Mansion. If they get closer in the future, What would the sage think? Would you think that you, Rong Guogong, want to follow in the footsteps of Sui Guogong and Tang Guogong?"

Jia Daishan choked, alas, he was led astray by Jia Jing and Zhang Zan's incompetence, and by Jia Zheng's hopelessness, so he didn't think about saints.

"Okay, when it's the right day, you enter the palace and only push it until Enhou is so lively, so let's fool it first."
