Chapter 117 Eliminating Doubts

In the teahouse, Li Wan led Jia Baoyu, Yingchun and others to sit down separately. The maids brought hot tea, but no one drank it.

Except for the simple politeness at the beginning, everyone said nothing and pointed their ears, as if they wanted to see if they could hear the voices in the inner hall clearly from such a distance.

The maids noticed that it was getting dark and had already lit lanterns around the room. In the subtle swaying firelight, the atmosphere became even more peaceful.

Suddenly Xiangyun came sneakily, Li Wan waved to her, called her over, and then said: "What are you doing running around? I'm not afraid that the old lady will see you and scold you. Sit down quickly." Come on."

Everyone knew that Xiangyun must have been eavesdropping just now.

Daiyu was very worried about Jia Lian, so she didn't care too much and asked: "What did you hear?"

Xiangyun's face turned slightly pale. , she is the most curious.

All afternoon, she was trying to find out what happened. Although the adult servants did not dare to tell her, some young and ignorant girls couldn't help but told her what they heard from elsewhere. .

Therefore, Xiangyun was the first to know the general truth. Even most of the information that Daiyu, Sanchun and others knew came from her.

Just now she eavesdropped behind the screen again, and indeed she heard many words that shocked her.

These news are still too shocking for Xiangyun.

Therefore, facing the questioning from Daiyu and others, she could only say a little hesitantly.

Even if it was just like this, it was enough to make Tanchun and others feel the same as her.

Daiyu could not help but shed tears: Brother Lian was such a good person, but the enemies outside could not defeat him. When he returned home, there were still people who wanted to harm him
< br />When Daiyu shed tears, Yingchun and others couldn't help but blurred with tears.

Having grown up carefree by Jia Mu, they face the cruel reality of family struggle for the first time.

When Jia Baoyu saw his sisters sad, he himself was sad too.

On the one hand, he was sad that the happy atmosphere at home was no longer there, and on the other hand, he was sad that the sisters’ tears were not shed for him...

He punched the table hard. , said with hatred: "These people are really hateful. Isn't it good for a good family to live together, guard the wealth of the family, and live in peace and harmony?

It would be better if those ambitions for fame and wealth are born and a good big family is broken up!"

Li Wan glanced at him and thought to himself that if people like you only focus on the wealth in front of you and don't care about the future, the family will be at peace. I'm afraid that in a few years, everything will collapse.

When the time comes, who can keep this family together?

Obviously, Jia Baoyu cannot be this person.

The other sisters are all girls under the age of thirteen, and they don’t see anything wrong with Jia Baoyu’s words.

Tan Chun also sighed: "So, a big family is as good as a big family, and a small family is as good as a small family.

A family like ours is better than a small family. , there are so many people, and since ancient times it has been most difficult for people to unite. When gathering together like this, it is inevitable that things like this will happen, which makes people feel annoyed.

In my opinion, those small households are better, although they eat The clothes are simple, but the family can often get together and be harmonious and beautiful, which is quite happy."

Tan Chun's words won the approval of Xiangyun and others.

Li Wan couldn’t stand it anymore and said hurriedly: “Stop talking nonsense, what do you kids know? What you don’t say is ridiculous.

How do you know that the troubles in that small family may not be less than those in families like ours.

We are all rich ladies, so say goodbye. You said something like this."

Tanchun and the others lowered their heads in embarrassment.

…

On the other side of the inner hall, Jia Mu has been shaken by Jia Lian’s ambition, and naturally she will not let go of today’s events.

She only has one worry now, so after praising Jia Lian a few words, she asked: "Lian'er, what do you think your second uncle has been like to you over the years?"


Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, she just wanted to make some insinuations to make Jia Lian understand the importance of family harmony, so that Jia Lian could become a maintainer of family harmony in the future, rather than a destroyer.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian saw through her thoughts at a glance and said it generously, leaving her at a loss.

Before she could reply, Jia Lian's face straightened, and he cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson is not that hopeless. If he wants to be rich, he can earn it himself and won't think about it." Who are you arguing with?

My master has treated me better than my biological father over the years, and I will keep this in mind.

So, the old lady and I We have the same thoughts and want usAs a family, we will always live together in harmony, and let our Rongguo Mansion become a prosperous family full of laughter and lingering celebrations!

I will work with the master to support the lintel of our Rongguo Mansion.

If someone wants to destroy the relationship between our family, my grandson will be the first to let her go. ”

Jia Lian certainly knows what Mrs. Jia Mu cares about most.

It just so happens that his ultimate goal does not directly conflict with Jia Mu’s expectations. and contradictions. Because he never thought about driving Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Li Wan and his son, Tan Chun and others out of the Rongguo Mansion, and then he and Wang Xifeng would be the masters of this huge Duke's Mansion. The meaning of the king’s domination.

That’s so boring.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and others can be their idle masters and idlers with peace of mind. Mrs....

Unfortunately, from the interrogation of those people in Yang’s house, he didn’t catch any evidence against Mrs. Wang.

I think this woman is too smart. , even if you have any plans, you will not easily be caught.

It doesn’t matter. If you keep bad thoughts in your heart for a lifetime, they are not bad thoughts.

As for the family property...

There are actually only three properties in Rongguo Mansion.

One property was obtained by Jia She when he arrived at Dongkuoyuan, and now Jia She has almost built it. . It is estimated that in the future, he will be able to recover part of the money by selling the antiques and treasures in his study.

The second transaction is that all the private property that Jia Mu has saved for more than fifty years is in her old man's house. In this Rongqing Hall...

There is nothing to say about this huge sum of money. The old man can give it to whomever he likes. Every cent will be given to Jia Baoyu. It is also her right.
< br />The third payment is the official treasury of the Rongguo Mansion.

Including the rented acres, houses and commercial properties.

This money is currently Jia’s Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are in control.

But it doesn’t matter. In fact, big families have charters. Even if Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have control, they are actually maintaining the daily expenses of the Duke’s palace. Very little actually flows into their own hands.

Moreover, Jia Lian also knows that today’s Rongguo Mansion’s income cannot cover its expenses year by year.

Therefore, this amount of money, There is nothing to fight about. The fight is just to live up to the housekeeper's addiction, and he is not Wang Xifeng.

So, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, let them take care of the house for the time being, so that they can maintain the family The harmony between the superiors and subordinates can also avoid premature encounters with Jia Mu and others.People cause unnecessary conflicts.

As for the most important Imperial Palace, as long as he waits for him to ascend the throne, it will naturally be his.

When the time comes, if everyone is in peace, there is no harm in living together.

What Jia Lian wants to fight for from beginning to end is just the right to speak in the family. As it is now, even Jia Mu, who is aloof, has to start discussing with him peacefully these matters that are related to the stability of the family. question.

And Jia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jia Lian's statement.

"It's great if you think so. Originally, a big family can only be wealthy if everyone works together.

I'm getting old too, and finally What I hope to see is that you, my children and grandchildren, can always live in harmony until the day I take my last breath.

Don’t follow your father’s example and blame others for being partial when you don’t live up to your expectations.
/>
You also said before that our house looks fine from the outside, but in fact it is indeed not as good as before. In these years, thanks to your husband and wife, you have worked hard to support us, and we have been able to maintain the lintel of our Duke's residence. .

Now that you have become a serious official again and can help them, I feel more relieved."

Jia Lian just smiled and did not refute. .

Jia Mu then said a few more words about the importance of family harmony. Suddenly Li Wan walked in and asked if the food had been prepared in the kitchen and would it be served now.

Jia Mu was surprised to realize that it was already dinner time.

So he said to Jia Lian: "These things happened today, you should go back quickly, don't let Feng Yatou and the others worry too much."

Jia Lian nodded. , and wanted to get up and leave.

In early spring, it gets dark quickly, and Jia Mu also wants to make Jia Lian feel her concern, so she has to ask someone to follow her.

At first glance, he saw that there were only Li Wan and Yuanyang in front of him, and he said casually: "Yuanyang, please get up and see them off."

"Yes..."

Yuanyang stood up and responded, then picked up a lantern from the corner, lit it and followed Jia Lian.

"Thank you, Sister Yuanyang."

Hearing Jia Lian's voice, Yuanyang didn't dare to raise his head and just said "hmm".
