Chapter 209: Cao Cao Burns the Letter

Jia Lian came out of Jia Zheng’s inner study and went to Rongqing Hall.

In this society where filial piety governs the world, superficial things must be done well, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

After cleaning up a few minions and extorting money from them, I had to report it to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, etc., and ask them to nod, so that I could appear kind and filial.

Because Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall are on the same horizontal line from east to west, Jia Lian didn’t want to take a long way, so instead of taking the hanging flower gate in the west, he decided to go straight to the back from the courtyard where Mrs. Wang lived. Yonglu.

Mrs. Wang’s compound, in addition to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, also has two concubines of Jia Zheng, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.

Put aside Aunt Zhou, she has no sense of existence and rarely gets her hair out once a year.

On the other hand, Aunt Zhao is the number one "person" in Rongguo Mansion, and she lives in a very prestigious house on the west side of the compound. Therefore, when Wang Xifeng goes to report to Mrs. Wang from home, he will always report to Mrs. Wang from behind. Passed under the window.

"Really, have you really seen clearly, are there really so many? Oh dear, if that money was given to us, we would be rich..."

　“You maggot-hearted evildoer, I usually tell you to study hard and please the master, but you just don’t listen. As a result, the two of us in the house are not as rich as a slave!
< br />Bah, what kind of thing is Wang Xin? Back then, his parents shamelessly begged his wife to give him a surname. Later, he couldn’t stand out in front of his wife, so he went to fawn over your second sister-in-law Lian, who has a black face and triangular eyes. Jia Lian had no intention of staying in this place under the melon fields and plum trees, but he heard Zhao Zhao inside. Even though her aunt scolded Jia Huan, she didn't want to pay attention.

Just when he suddenly heard the other party calling him a wife, he became a little angry.

Forget other scoldings... Black face and triangular eyes?

This is a bit much.

Girl Feng obviously has red-phoenix eyes... Dan-phoenix triangular eyes. They are also very beautiful eye shapes. When she said it like that, she is such a beautiful woman, just like Li Kui!

After standing outside the window for two seconds, Jia Lian shook his head and decided to leave gracefully.

It’s nothing to teach a few slaves, but it doesn’t seem to be a big deal to teach my uncle’s concubine. Never mind her, just treat her as a comedian.

Entering the backyard of Rongqing Hall from Jia Mu’s back garden, and just as he was about to go up the main corridor, he saw a maid walking towards him.

She has a long figure, handsome appearance, and is raised in the bellyThere was a robe hanging on the arm in front of him, and he strolled under the light.

When she looked up and saw Jia Lian, she seemed stunned, and then stopped on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Jia Lian looked at her and asked calmly: "Why, you don't know me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiren hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I have seen you before." Second Master..."

There was a hint of grievance in his lowered eyes.

Although I am a maid...

Although it was to silence her last time...

Although...

After all, the most important thing in his daughter’s family is that her innocent body was given to the second master. He should have some pity for her.

Why is he so cold to himself...

If he was a cold and ruthless person, then he wouldn't have to expect anything extravagantly. Unfortunately, he clearly treats those around him He is a very nice and gentle person...

"Aggrieved?"

Jia Lian took a step closer, and Xi Ren quickly took half a step back and shook his head.

Unknown to Xiren, when she kept lowering her head to look at each other's toes, the face of Jia Lian above his head was not as cold as she imagined.

Jia Lian even had some praise.

This Xiren is indeed worthy of being the "Chai Vice", and he does have a somewhat different character.

If it were another girl, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to maintain her composure under such circumstances.

"Go to the old lady's house?"

"Well, it's late at night, let's get some clothes for Mr. Bao..."

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and deliberately mentioned Jia Baoyu. Was he telling him that you don't care about others, and others also want them?

Jia Lian glanced around. Jia Mu’s backyard was bright and bright, and figures might appear at any time.

"Let's go."

"Well..."

The attacker stepped back and let Jia Lian go first.

However, when she walked to the door of Jia Mu's back room, she saw that no one was on duty, so she hurried up and acted as the person to lift the curtain. After Jia Lian entered, she followed silently.

Suddenly she felt a strong attack on her waist, which frightened her so much that she almost screamed.

After all, she reacted quickly and immediately knew who was attacking her, so she held her breath and did not dare to move.

Her heart was beating at an uncontrollable speed. This was the old lady’s back room door. If she wasWhen people saw her, she was done playing...

Because she was nervous, she didn't feel any of the happiness and numbness she felt when she fell into this embrace last time.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After bullying her a few times, the domineering person let go of her.

As soon as she got the chance, she quickly stepped away. Seeing Jia Lian looking down at her teasingly, her face turned red, she adjusted her clothes randomly, turned around and ran away.

Jia Lian waited for her to take a few steps before Shi Shiran walked out of the narrow and dark place.

Earlier on the corridor, he could see that Xiren was much more rounded than before. He felt that it should be his fault, so he checked it with his own hands, and the situation was indeed as he expected.

"Second Master Lian..."

There were as many people as ever in Jia Mu's house, with maids and servants standing in groups, and there were still chatter and jokes in the inner hall. Voice.

"Second brother is here!"

In the spacious and beautifully decorated inner hall of Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu and others could not rest for a long time because of the commotion caused by Jia Lian. .

"What are you doing here again? It's so late, we are all ready to leave."

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Aunt Lai, four people Play cards around the table.

Sisters Jia Baoyu and Sanchun were watching, while Baochai and Daiyu were playing chess under the west window.

This is the norm in Jia Mu’s house. She always likes to be lively.

"There's nothing special. I just finished dealing with the external matters. I think I should report it to my ancestors."

"Oh, you still reported it to me. As for preparation, I thought you had achieved success and could make your own decisions on everything."

Jia Mu is a prudent person and rarely says harsh words, so when she said this, Aunt Xue The others couldn't help but smile.

Jia Lian smiled, not answering at this moment is the best answer.

As expected, Jia Mu was too embarrassed to have another attack. Just as the game was over, she put down the cards and asked everyone to continue next time. Then she held Yuanyang's arm and walked to the high couch in the south.

When she moved, everyone moved to the center of the activity.

"Tell me, how much have you offended the slaves today, and how much have you made them confess?"

Jia Mu was sitting on the high couch, feeling a little unhappy. asked.

Because the more Jia Lian confiscated, the more it proved that the slaves were indeed greedy, which also indirectly showed that she was a bad housekeeper in the past and allowed the slaves to be greedy.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Going back to our ancestors, our grandson has made a good harvest today. He has collected more than 10,000 taels of cash in total. The remaining various assets, amounting to nearly 20,000 taels, have all been sent to the warehouse. Lin Zhixiao and the others are rushing to register. . "

When Jia Lian said this, everyone wanted to laugh but it was not funny.

Mr. Lian was really interesting. The old lady used the word "scrape", which was obviously a sign of laughter. He was being sarcastic, but Mr. Lian didn't seem to understand and used the word "scratch" in conjunction with the old lady's words.

Jia Mu also looked at her silly children and grandchildren. The eldest grandson of a very talented person!

This grandson is definitely not incapable of hearing flattering words, but he is confident and invulnerable, so he is really difficult to deal with.

Too lazy to talk nonsense, she He spread his hands and said, "I heard they said that under your high-pressure methods, the slaves obediently reported to you one by one the amount of greedy money? Show me, I want to see how honest our servant is. He dares to confess that he has been greedy for money! ”

Jia’s mother was really curious, because this approach was beyond her understanding.

She really didn’t believe that Lai Da and others dared to spend how much money they had embezzled. The master knows.

He must have filled in the number casually to deal with this grandson.

“Well, I’m afraid I can’t show this to my ancestors...”

　“What, even I can’t see it? ”

Jia Mu’s face darkened.

Of course she knew that Jia Lian had promised her minions not to reveal it to others.

But she didn’t think This person can include her.

Others are also a little nervous or have a lot of meaning.

Butler Lian Erye naturally has to establish prestige and cannot break his words.
/>
However, the person to look at is Jia Muye...

Since ancient times, it has been said that it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, but in fact, it is also difficult to have both filial piety and righteousness.

If you don’t listen to what your elders say, you are unfilial. Throughout the ages, the “filial sons” often used the idea that “it is hard to disobey the orders of their parents” and used this to commit treachery and abandon their wives and children.
< br /> Such people are often praised...

Could it be that Mr. Lian cannot even see this truth clearly, and in order to fulfill his promise to his slaves, he has to go against the old lady's wishes?

But Jia Lian spread his hands and said, "The old lady has misunderstood. It's not that the grandson is sincere and refuses to show it to the ancestor, but that the grandson has already put all the books in the book before, including the numbers written by the slaves. , all set on fire.

So, the grandson wants to let the old lady know, I’m afraidNot anymore. "

"Burned? "

Jia Mu was very surprised, and then she looked thoughtful. She was wondering if Jia Lian was lying to her.

"It was indeed burned. After all, the grandson promised the slaves that no one else except the grandson would know how much they were greedy. This was also to protect them.

But if the book is kept, there is a possibility that it will be lost or peeked at, so the grandson decided to burn the book in public. "

As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Baoyu clapped his hands and applauded: "Haha, I have read it in a book. This is an allusion. Cao Cao back then..."

Jia Baoyu wanted to show off in public, but when Mrs. Wang glared at him, he whispered.

Fortunately, Xichun and Tanchun came to question again and gave him the steps, so he was in the small circle below. Let’s talk about the allusion of “Cao Cao burned the letter”.
