Chapter 574: Different Concepts

The conference came to an end, and what was left behind was not only the shock of the Lai family's greedy wealth, but also the awe of Jia Lian, the second master of the family.

From today’s incident, everyone can probably see that the absolute talker in the Jia family now is Mr. Lian, who has the dignity of a marquis. After all, Mr. Lian won it even after the Lai family said it would be taken, and this was even when Mother Jia intervened.

Who would dare to go against the will of Mr. Lian like this? There is probably no one left. No one dares to compare themselves with the respectability of the Lai family. If they could, they should be like the Lai family and accumulate a family fortune of more than ten or two hundred thousand!

When Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Mu was gone, she dared to come forward and talk to her. She said with a smile on her face: "Lian'er, you did a good job. I have long seen that Lai Da and his family are not good people. I also told your second wife that they knew and asked them to be on guard. But they didn't take me seriously." If you take your words seriously, I won’t say anything more over time.

It’s you who can completely eradicate these moths.”

The more Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Lian, the more satisfied she became. She never expected that Jia Lian could take down the Lai family. She didn't even dare to have this idea, otherwise, she would definitely be severely criticized by her protective mother Jia.

But Jia Lian did it. In front of Jia Mu, he uprooted the Lai family tree with deep roots... Tsk, tsk, the family property of more than 100,000 taels is much richer than the eldest wife like her. , no, there is no comparison at all. They are not on the same level at all. Sometimes it is irritating to think about it.

The more this happened, the more she wanted to curry favor with Jia Lian. After all, Jia Lian, her nominal son, was pretty good to her. At least her life now is much more comfortable than when Jia She was here.

Now that she was busy with food and clothing, she no longer had to be as scrupulous and stingy as before. Because Jia Lian said, if there is anything missing, just talk to the two of them. What is this? This is the confidence! In the past, Jia She had no rules for spending money, but if she dared to spend a penny indiscriminately, she would definitely be scolded or even beaten... She became more confident and talked about how wonderful Jia Lian's son was when she met everyone. Others also praised her for being lucky. Compared with other old ladies at home, she respected her more than before. This made her feel that now she truly had a first-class destiny and real dignity!

In her heart, she felt very regretful about not being caring and close to Jia Lian before she became successful. Fortunately, Jia Lian didn't seem to care, so she wanted to make up for it. As long as there was a chance, she would always be there. Sell ​​well in front of Jia Lian. All in all, Jia Lian, a son who has a good way of making money, must not be separated from her.

　Mrs. Xing only talked to Jia Lian, but she never thought that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were nearby. After hearing her words, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were speechless. Well, you are the only sane person in the family, and now with Jia Lian, there are two. The others are all fools, right?

Mrs. Wang is a wealthy woman and has never had a verbal contest with her sister-in-law who has no brains. Therefore, she pretended to sigh and said that she did not expect that Lai and Da would dare to do this. You are daring, otherwise you would have advised Jia Zheng to clean up his family.

Silence.

Doesn’t she know that the government’s finances are deteriorating? However, a servant of the Lai family has accumulated an exaggerated wealth. Even a fool can see what's going on. Doesn't she, the old lady of the Jia family, hate her in her heart?

Unfortunately, Jia Lian didn’t seem to hear him at all and didn’t even look back.

But when Jia Lian came out with the results of the Lai family’s inspection, her attitude immediately changed. Especially when she saw that Jia Lian had no selfish motives at all. After she said that the Lai family's property would be returned to the officialdom, she would support Jia Lian with both hands.

Jia Lian was silent for a moment. The Lai family's house had been expanded several times by the Lai family and was worth a lot of money. But after all, it is a private house, and the specifications cannot be improved, so it is just like that. Now that Jia Mu has spoken, Jia Lian still has to give it this face.

"Yes, yes, you are right anyway."

Only when others saw Jia Mu like this, they dared to smile.

Although it was not easy to borrow the money that day, it was precisely because of Jia Lian's presence that she could borrow it with confidence and not worry about not getting it back.

It would have been better if You didn't say that. When he mentioned Jia Zheng, he said directly: "Lian'er is right. Although the two houses are close relatives, since they have borrowed money, they should repay it as soon as possible. Just do as you say. You can make up your own mind about the details. I'll go back first."

You also walked up from the courtyard at this time. Hearing Jia Lian's words, she hurriedly said: "We don't have anything big to do in the house over there, and we're not in a hurry to use money, so there's no need to be busy."

The old lady was stunned, and then said: "How can that be done? , let alone people like Lai Da, even if you just take a little bit, you may lose your head..."

When the people dispersed, Lai Da and the other two were dragged up, and Jia Lian also After just a brief glance, he directly ordered: "Send him back to rest for three days. After three days, Lin Zhixiao will arrange for a few people to escort them to Zhuangzi in the north."

"Mama Lai has been with me for most of her life. The time you have served me is much longer than the time you sons and grandsons have served me. No matter what you do with Lai Da, she is always the one you should respect. "

Jia Mu cursed, and then she couldn't help laughing.

No one likes to be poor. In the past two years, the officialdom has been tight and there are many things in the house. Her private husband has to subsidize a lot! It's better now. I won't have such troubles for at least two or three years.

When Sister Feng saw this, she gave Jia Lian a smiling look, but Jia Lian understood. What she meant was: It's okay, everything has been coaxed, I am awesome, please praise me.

Nothing happened on the road, Jia Lian said casually.

Lin Zhixiao pushed Lai Shangrong and then escorted all Lai's family back.

Mr. You has come over, so naturally he wants to go in to pay his respects to Jia Mu.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Since my ancestor has not given instructions and it is very late, my grandson will not disturb my ancestor's rest and will leave first."

Jia Lian Zheng stopped and remained silent. Of course he knew about borrowing money from Dongfu. He couldn't figure out what Jia Lian meant, so he had to reply: "You have to ask your second wife about this, but I don't know much about it."

Mrs. Wang guessed what Jia Lian meant as soon as she heard it. In the presence of Youshi, she would not lie. She said bluntly: "It is indeed like this. I paid 50,000 yuan in August of the first year. Originally, It is estimated that it will be enough to build the garden. Later, I prepared to decorate it and welcome the relatives and friends. I borrowed another 30,000 yuan, and the total was exactly 80,000 yuan."

"You dare to talk about something that has no filial piety at all. What a career. If your advisor hears what you just said, let alone a career, it will be easy to destroy your reputation. Humph, you can take care of yourself."

Jia Lian said hello to Jia Mu and ignored him. , Jia Lian said he was leaving, but Jia Mu suddenly made some noise.

Jia Lian didn’t take it seriously at all, so he left directly after saying this.

"I have already said that I am not in a hurry to spend money, so why are you so busy."

"The external affairs have been taken care of, grandson. I came here to ask if our ancestors had any other instructions."

Jia Mu ignored him.

“Second Master Lian’s handsome and unrestrained appearance certainly followed that of the old Duke. But his temperament seemed to have followed that of the previous generation of Dukes.

Although They don't want their son to lose his future, but now that they are in jail, their son has no intention of being filial, which still makes them feel disappointed.

Jia Zheng is a benevolent gentleman and naturally will not argue with Mrs. Xing. , seeing that the matter was over, Lai Da and the other two had been pulled down by Jia Lian's guards to beat the boards. Feeling a little unbearable, they said goodbye to Jia Lian and prepared to go back to Mengpo Zhai.

Jia Lian was a little surprised. Youshi was cautious and never dared to invite him. Every time, she waited for him to come over and get lucky. Why is it like this today?

"What's the matter?"

Having said that, the way You looked at Jia Lian became more gentle and sweet. It was late at night anyway, so there was no need to worry about anyone peeking.

In addition, after all, Lai Da once served my family well and is now old. I allow his family members, especially his son and daughter-in-law, to go north together and enter my farm in Jia Mansion to serve and support me. "

"My grandson pays homage to his ancestors. ”

He is not lying, because he did not come forward about the loan. Mrs. Wang came forward to tell You.

I think we were still maids back then. At that time, the first-generation Duke was like Mr. Lian, who governed the family with military laws. At that time, all the servants in the mansion were very well-behaved, for fear that if they accidentally violated the family rules, they would be severely punished by military laws. "< br />
An old lady smiled and said: "The old lady said she didn't know who Second Master Lian had followed. In my opinion, Second Master Lian seemed to have followed the old Duke, and also seemed to have followed a generation." The Duke of the country."

Jia Lian's attitude finally made Jia Mu feel relieved, so she sat back, looked at Jia Lian, and said for a long time: "I don't know who you followed. You are so confused. However, your father is not even as tolerant as your grandfather. You know, he said that you are a man of opinion and can't tolerate dirt in your eyes. But if you don't know, I'm afraid he will scold you for being blind to money and plucking your feathers. The slaves’ homes were all ransacked, and they were even addicted..."

When Mrs. Wang saw that both Jia Zheng and Jia Lian had this intention, she naturally couldn’t stop them. However, Mrs. Xing felt that Jia Lian was too honest and didn’t know if he had money. I'm covering it myself, what else can I do if I'm busy? The owner himself said there's no need to rush.

The screams of Lai Da and his wife came. He didn't want to hear it, so he finished speaking in a hurry and walked away.

“Just do as our ancestors said, and leave the house to Lai Lai to take care of her in her old age.”

It’s just her opinion, and no one cares too much about it, so it doesn’t matter. Let it go.

Jia Lian also wanted to appease Jia Mu. Whether it was true or false, it was necessary to show it to others, so he went with You.

Old ladies who can always be by Jia Mu’s side know what Jia Mu wants.

Now it was just as she expected, and of course she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"As a human being, filial piety comes first, why don't you want to."

Okay, the official treasury, which was originally tight, suddenly became rich again. The Lai family, Not bad...

The dozen or so farms to the north of Jia Mansion are all in extremely cold places and are not suitable for living.

Lin Zhixiao also looked down upon Lai Shangrong's character and wanted to slap him like Jia Lian.

Jia Mu seems to be interested inJia Lian's resentment was still lingering. When he saw Jia Lian coming in, his expression changed and he fell asleep half-relying on the high couch.

Nodded, Jia Lian did not respond directly, but Youshi understood that Jia Lian had agreed, so he stopped talking and walked to Rongqing Hall in silence.

Found that Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, Sanchun and others were all there.

"It's nothing. Tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. I thought it was her hair extension gift after all, so I planned to give her a seat and didn't invite anyone else. If my second uncle is not free, then Forget it, it's not really a serious matter."

Jia Lian then smiled and said: "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. In the past, when our house was building a garden, the East House helped us when we had difficulties. It was their friendship. Now that the Lai family has been eradicated and the property they embezzled and corrupted has been recovered, these 80,000 taels will be taken out to repay the Dongfu. I wonder what the master and his wife think?"

"What the old lady said is that the previous search When we were at Lai's house, our grandson gave special instructions not to bump into Lai's mother..."

"Master, wait a minute, my nephew has one more thing, and he is going to tell the master and the second wife."

So, after sending away the crying Aunt Lai, she felt relieved inside.

Yes, Mrs. Wang also agrees with what Jia Lian did today. But she is not pure, because before that, she still had the attitude of sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight between Jia Lian and Jia Mu, ready to watch the show.

The second generation Rongguo Gong was recognized as a refined man, and he was also the husband of Jia Mu, so Jia Mu was very happy whenever someone from the past mentioned or praised him. These old ladies are also fine people. They say that Jia Lian's handsomeness is due to the old Duke Rong. Jia's mother naturally smiles.

"Borrow 80,000 silver from Dongfu. After the inventory is completed tomorrow, I will have someone send it over. Then I will ask my sister-in-law to check and accept it."

Before Lai Shangrong was raped by Jia Lian A slap in the face destroyed all his confidence. At this time, he found out that Jia Lian wanted him to go to the north to serve his parents. He felt that his future was greatly hindered, so he couldn't care about anything and shouted loudly: "No, I can't go. I will start a business next year. If I go to the north, my business will be over..."

"You can just confiscate the huge family property that came from shady sources. Their house, you Let them keep it for Grandma Lai to take care of in her old age."

Speaking of it, she was just trying to save her face tonight. She was not really angry at Jia Lian for raiding Lai's house.

Seeing that Jia Lian smiled and did not reply, Youshi added: "It's you. If you are not busy tomorrow, I would like to invite you to come and sit down..."
< br />Although Lai Da and his wife were seriously injured, they were still mentally alert. After all, Jia Lian’s soldiers knew that Jia Lian had no intention of taking their lives..

Jia Lian stopped and bowed his hair? Second Sister You or Third Sister You?

Looking back at Youshi's face, Jia Lian secretly wondered from the look in her eyes, could it be that she knew about the bullying of her little sister?

Lin Zhixiao heard this and thought to himself that if Jia Lian really sympathized with Lai Da, as long as Lai Da was not prohibited from bringing his family, his children would naturally be able to follow him. After thinking for a while, he understood what Jia Lian meant, so he hurriedly asked: "What if his son and daughter-in-law don't want to do it?" At that time, was there a slave like Lai Da in the family?"

As she said this, she seemed to think that she might be pointing at Jia Mu, so the old grandma retreated consciously.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My ancestors were joking. If the slaves are loyal and the grandchildren are generous, they naturally don't have to worry about being raided. When they encounter someone like the Lai family, We can only act according to the family law."

"That's right, when I came back from the Western Regions, I heard the second wife say that in order to build the garden, our house borrowed money from the Dongfu. A total of 80,000 taels of silver, so it looks like this."

Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang seemed to be working together to liberate Jia Mu, while the Sanchun sisters were sitting nearby with blank expressions when they saw Jia Lian and his wife coming in. , then stood up to greet him.

　"What's the matter?"

　……

Of course Jia Mu is also aware of this, but she is quite generous, she just hums Said: "Okay, I know that you admire the idea of ​​a generation of Dukes running a family, but the way your grandfather and I run the family may not be wrong.

You don't know the situation back then. Not to mention slaves, even your grandfather and I are always trembling with fear, afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing...

That's all, I'm old anyway, and I don't have the trouble to argue with you. This family , after all, it’s up to you to take the responsibility. You can treat it however you want, as long as you don’t lose the reputation of your ancestors.”

After saying that, Jia Mu really didn’t bother to pay attention to Jia Lian, and waved her hand. Drive it away.
