Chapter 150 One family does not speak the same language

Without Jia Lian deliberately concealing his figure, the women soon discovered Jia Lian’s figure and immediately dispersed in shock, pretending to be As if he was going to do some errands.

"Everyone here just now went to the inner steward's room and collected twenty pieces of money.

Those who dare not go..."

Jia Lian glanced at them indifferently, and before he finished speaking, he turned across the corridor and went to Jia Mu's main room.

The few servants left in the yard looked at each other, and in the end they could only admit that they were unlucky.

Fortunately, it was only twenty boards. If Mr. Lian was really angry and wanted to punish them, the words they just said would be enough for Mr. Lian to send them to death...

　……

“My grandson sends his regards to the old lady.”

When they arrived at Jia Mu’s main room, they only saw Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu. He Daiyu and the others must be with Wang Xifeng.

In addition to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and Daiyu are also wearing filial piety.

"Lian'er, I heard that someone came from the palace?"

"Back to the old lady, yes, she is a deacon and eunuch from Chonghua Palace. She came to express her condolences. "

"Did he have anything else to say? Did the Supreme Emperor ask him to come?"

Jia Mu changed her usual calmness and met for three consecutive times. ask.

Jia Lian didn’t find it strange. Jia’s mother was a bit cautious and timid by nature. In addition, there were hidden things in the family like the Qin family. It was easier to understand that Jia’s mother would be more worried about people coming to the palace. of.

"He didn't say much. He went to my father's soul and paid homage before leaving. He didn't leave any sacrifices.

As for whether he was the Supreme Emperor or not. He didn't say what he meant. But in my grandson's opinion, he is an internal prisoner who has no connection with our family. Without the order of the Supreme Emperor, he will definitely not come to our home.

The grandson guessed that it must be the Supreme Emperor who remembered the benefits of his grandfather back then, so when he heard that my father was dead, he sent someone to take a look at our family. This is a good thing."

Mother Jia's eyes were deep. After hearing Jia Lian's words, she seemed to be relieved, "If it is as you said, it is indeed a good thing."

After speaking, she looked at Jia Lian and asked: "You guys How is the situation over there? Can the relatives take care of themselves?"

"Back to the old lady, everything is fine over there.

There are things going on outside. The master and Brother Zhen helpedWhen I take care of it, I feel much more relaxed. The things inside were thanks to the old lady asking Sister-in-law You over there to help with the cooking. She was experienced and helped Feng Yatou in the house, so there wasn't any trouble. "

Jia Mu asked a few more specific things, and Jia Lian answered them one by one.

After Jia Mu listened, she said: "I know you are doing things safely. Yes, I just want to tell you one thing, don't be too verbose. Your father is still a first-class official, and his funeral affairs are watched by so many people inside and outside, so there is nothing to be careless about.

We would rather spend more money than let outsiders laugh at us.

For example, there should be more monks and Taoists who perform rituals from Nayi Gate to the hall every day. Let's do this. When the first seven days are over and the second seven days begin, you can ask people to go to major temples and Taoist temples to invite some people back. A total of one hundred and eight monks will be made up, plus one hundred and eight Taoist priests, and nine more people will be hired. Ninety-one kneeling Tsing Yis, eighty-one weeping nuns and Taoists, plus forty-nine musicians arranging shengs, drums, and suonas, etc., must be done to the highest standards. "

Jia Lian frowned after hearing this and said: "If this happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to make arrangements there..."

Now the Dongkua Hospital is overcrowded, Sister Feng. Every day, we spend a lot of time arranging the sitting, eating and accommodation of people inside and outside. We are already so busy that our feet have not even touched the floor. We have to add more. Even if all the rooms are laid on the floor, I am afraid that they will not be able to accommodate so many people.< br />
"I have already told your wife that if you can't arrange it there, just move it to the courtyard here. Don't be afraid of trouble. It only takes more than twenty days in total.

Don’t worry about the money..."

While speaking, Jia Mu glanced at the women around her, and saw seven or eight servants moving together. From inside Three large boxes were carried out.

One of the boxes was clean, while the other two boxes still had some dust on them. They were obviously inventories that had been stored for a long time...

Jia After opening the mother's order, I immediately saw the shining white light shining through!

Inside the three wooden boxes, there were large silver ingots neatly stacked. I couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and I didn't know how many of them were stacked. Layer.

Such a dazzling scene, not to mention the maids watching nearby had their mouths and eyes opened into an "O" shape. Even Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were stunned for a while. His eyes looked blank.

How much silver does this cost...

"There are two thousand taels of silver in each box here, including the four thousand that I haven't given yet. , and the two thousand that your wife didn’t give are all here. You can have someone carry them to your side later to use them as your expenses. This is what I promised you that night, and now I have fulfilled it all. ”

Jia Lian was a little surprised, why did Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang suddenly feel so happy?

He thought that even if they were embarrassed to break their promise, they would still default on their arrears.< br />
Taking a look at Mrs. Wang’s dull expression, and her painful expression when she accidentally glanced at the silver in the box, Jia Lian secretly thought: Maybe she was forced by Jia’s mother...

So, Jia Lian thanked Jia Lian inexplicably, bowed to Jia Mu, and bowed to Mrs. Wang, saying thank you.

Mrs. Wang also responded lightly.

"Since the old lady said so, my grandson will follow the old lady's instructions.

However, it will be even more troublesome for the master and his wife. When the time comes, I am afraid that all the people who cannot be accommodated will be accommodated in the compound here. "Jia Lian said.

Mrs. Wang said: "If there is any trouble, don't bother me. One family does not speak of two families. For the sake of the eldest master's funeral, we should do whatever we should.

But I am short-tempered, so I may not be able to help you much. Fortunately, you and Feng Yatou used to be the heads of the house here, and know everything inside and outside. You just think you can handle it yourself, and you don't have to go back and forth with me for everything. "

Mrs. Wang said a few polite words, and seeing Jia Lian nodding his head with gratitude, she finally couldn't help but said:

"But there is one thing. Relatives come to express their condolences, and some will come with offerings. Although it is just a thought, it should not be taken carelessly.

If you and Feng Yatou accept gifts from others, you should register the names one by one and send them to the official to register. In the future, if someone has such a thing, we can return the gifts accordingly. .

You are all old enough to do these things, so you naturally understand this truth, but I just told you in vain. "

At this time, Jia Mu did not want Jia Baoyu and Daiyu to stand with Jia Lian. Seeing that Mrs. Wang still had something to say to Jia Lian, she asked him to take a seat.

Jia Baoyu and Daiyu were not sensitive to these matters, and they only thought that Mrs. Wang was simply giving Jia Lian a few words.

But Jia Mu immediately heard the meaning, and just thought about it. Understand the truth.

Under her arrangement, the first room was responsible for enjoying wealth and wealth, and the second room was responsible for housekeeping, and they have always lived in peace. Now that Jia She has died, it has indeed been exposed that "one family" The disadvantages of the "two masters" model.

Jia's mother already had concerns in her heart, but she still wanted to hear what Jia Lian would do, so she didn't say anything.

Jia Lian's early warning He knew that Mrs. Wang might bring up this topic, so he was already prepared. Hearing this, he seemed to think about it., and then said to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "Actually, I have always had a doubt, but I never dared to ask.

" This time about my father's funeral, I saw that the master and his wife were so troubled, and my heart I am very touched, so if I want to speak out in front of the old lady here, please don’t worry too much.”

Everyone in the room was surprised, Second Master Lian is now a fourth-rank official. And the questions he didn't dare ask?

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were keenly aware of something. Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian with sincerity and no scheming. Thinking back to what Jia Lian had said to her that day, she felt a little more at ease and said quietly: "We are all a family. If you have something to say, don't be afraid to say it directly. Could it be that your wife really and You're overthinking things."

Jia Mu said to herself that while she was still here, it might be time to talk about some things. It may not be a good thing to drag it on blindly. Let's talk about it, so as to save them both from having their own thoughts and becoming suspicious of each other.
