The box given to Jia Mu was also flat, and when she opened it, there was only a piece of paper inside. However, she was a knowledgeable person, and she did not make a fuss, but took out the paper, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a title deed. This surprised her, could it be that Jia Yu couldn't bring her back a piece of land from the south, and he could still be so filial?

Without waiting for Mother Jia to look more closely, Master Yu said, "Don't you think this title deed is a little familiar?" ”

This land deed was sent by the second master of the Jia family to sacrifice the field, and the eldest lord said that he didn't want it that day, and the second master Xue had to kneel down for life, so the eldest lord reluctantly accepted it.

Jia Mu heard that he had something to say, looked up at him and then looked at the title deed, and sure enough, she saw some clues. At that time, his face changed a little, and he said to the mandarin duck: "Does our family have a sacrificial field in Lijiawa on the outskirts of Jinling City, which is about twenty hectares in size?" She knew that the mandarin duck knew all this, and asked her if it was right.

Sure enough, the mandarin duck only thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, the old lady has a really good memory, and it was placed thirty years ago." ”

The two of them asked and answered, but they didn't pay attention to Mrs. Wang's face on the side, which was already pale. The news of Jin Cai's accident had reached her, and Jinling's sister also sent a letter, one was to tell her that she had sold the sacrificial field, and the other was to ask her for the money to buy the field.

Don't mention the matter of asking for silver, Mrs. Wang didn't plan to pay attention to her at all, but what should she do about selling the sacrificial land privately? It's not terrible to make a mistake, but it's terrible to make a mistake in the hands of the big house, so that the big man grabbed the handle.

Since the news came back, she hadn't slept a single peaceful sleep, and even if she was confused, she would soon be awakened by nightmares, and her whole body was a lot haggard. For this, the old man, who doesn't like to get close to her, hasn't stepped on her courtyard gate for a few days.

Originally, she was still counting on Jia Yu to take this handle and ask her in private. She's not afraid of this, it's better to have a chance to maneuver than anything else. But who knew that Jia Yu was so careless, and as soon as he came back, he stabbed the old lady. This...... What can I do?

"Say, what's going on? How did the title deed of the sacrificial field at home come to you? "Jia Mu's face is not good-looking, the sacrificial field is the foundation of the family, and the light yì will not touch it. The land deeds of those sacrificial fields were locked in one place, and no one checked them for a long time, who knew that there would be one missing, but they were brought back by Jia Yu.

"So, this is really our family's sacrificial land deed." Master Pardon slapped his face and made a look of surprise, "I said that I looked at it familiarly, and it was really our family, but fortunately I brought it back, otherwise I don't know what others think of our family." As he spoke, he looked at Madame Wang playfully.

Seeing that he didn't talk about the key points for a long time, Jia Mu couldn't help but say angrily: "Ask how you got it, what do you do with those gossip." However, she also noticed Jia Yu's eyes, and followed him to look at Mrs. Wang, and her eyes were sharp, and she had a guess in her heart.

"What is the old lady asking me? I'm going to ask you more! The eldest man turned cold, and put the teacup in his hand on a few occasions, "Since I went to Zhou's house, I have never been in charge of this room, but I have never taken care of the treasury, contracts, and money. Now, you are in charge of Rongguo Mansion, but you can even lose the sacrificial deed paper, what should happen to the things over there? ”

"I shouldn't have explained this matter to you, I'm afraid that the old lady and the second family should give me an explanation! As the raider of the Rongguo Mansion, I don't know the situation in this mansion in this room, and it's a joke to go anywhere. I won't talk about it before, but I can't be so confused anymore. ”

Lord Pardon looked around at the few people present and said, "I will invite Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites to come over to the mansion tomorrow to be a witness, and in front of Brother Jing, Zhen'er and the elders of the other six rooms in Beijing, I will check the treasury and account books of the Rongguo Mansion." Especially those things of the old imperial calendar, they will not be checked and used, and I am afraid that they will not be quietly gone. ”

"No......" Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, and subconsciously shouted out, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she couldn't help but quickly stop her mouth. She paused, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and made up: "I, I mean, this matter is our family's own business, how can we be so excited." If the uncle is not at ease, let's check it ourselves. ”

She has been a housekeeper for so many years, and there are a lot of small actions in private, but there is not a little bit in the public treasury. If this is to invite the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the patriarch, and the clan elders, then how should she end up, how can she still maintain a single bit of reputation? Even her Yuanchun and Baoyu will be affected by her.

"Actually, I—I know about this sacrifice of the field." Seeing that Jia Yu did not let go, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Jia's mother, admitting: "Old lady, this matter is my fault, without giving the old lady advice in advance, I made my own opinions, and asked the old lady to punish her." ”

Jia Mu guessed that it was the demon made by the Wang family, and when she recognized it at this time, her face was even more unkind, and she scolded: "The sacrificial field is the public property of the family, but it is just kept in our house, how dare you move it at will." Say, what the hell is going on? ”

This is a stupid woman! Didn't she know that the Wang family took the opportunity of the housekeeper to reap the benefits of her room? What little movements this stupid woman has, she sees them all, but she never makes a sound, but she is unwilling to cheapen that evil seed. However, this stupid woman dared to move such an eye-catching thing, and she really didn't deserve the word stupid and bold.

Mrs. Wang covered her face with a handkerchief in shame, knocked her head down, and when she got up again, she was already in tears, and her mouth choked up: "Old lady, I ...... I can't help it. In the past two years, the income of the government has not been as good as before, but the expenses are not a lot. In addition, Yuan Chun is still on an errand in the palace, and he needs money everywhere. Our family is already stretched. ”

"The old lady trusted me and ordered me to be the housekeeper, and I didn't dare to let these trivial matters bother the old lady, so I had to figure out my own way. Therefore, in order to maintain the consumption of the house, I had to discuss with my sister who married into the Xue family in Jinling, and use the deed paper of this sacrifice field to first pay some silver for emergencies. And it was said in advance that as soon as the funds were sufficient, they could redeem it immediately. Old lady, I was wrong......"

In the end, Mrs. Wang couldn't cry anymore, and vividly interpreted the image of a housekeeper's wife who endured humiliation and burden. These words were all come up with by her racking her brains in the past few days, not to mention whether she can make Jia Mu believe it, at least there is a reasonable reason. Otherwise, just for the crime of selling the family's sacrificial land, the Jia family would be able to divorce her.

Mother Jia was silent, she had the heart to let this matter go gently, but she was afraid that Jia Yu would not forgive, if it really made trouble in the clan, the Wang family was afraid that she would not be able to stay. She doesn't care much about the Wang family, it's just that there is a Wang family behind her, and her brother has just been promoted to the envoy of the Jingying Festival, so the two families should not be evil.

The other is also her two lifeblood - Yuan Chun and Baoyu.

Yuan Chun is struggling in the palace, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is a critical time, and there is no room for a little difference. If there is a biological mother who has been abandoned at this time, Yu Yuanchun will be greatly disadvantaged. There is also Baoyu, that child has always been a little crazy, if he divorces the Wang family, who knows what will happen, and it will also hinder his reputation. Yes, even for the sake of these two children, she has to protect the stupid woman of the Wang family today.

It's just that before Jia's mother could think of how to speak, Master Pardon spoke first and praised Jia Zhengzan: "Second brother, you didn't marry the wrong person." The second family is much stronger than the Xing family, she doesn't know how many grievances she has suffered for the sake of this big family, you have to treat her well. It's just that this private sale of sacrificial land is wrong, and it should be punished or punished, so the old lady will be punished lightly. ”

Although she was very puzzled in her heart, she didn't understand why Jia Yu would take such a thing lightly and didn't use the ready-made handles, but Jia Mu didn't plan to let go of the opportunity, and went down the steps.

I saw her snort "stupid child", so she got up and personally helped Mrs. Wang up, and reprimanded: "If there is anything difficult at home, you can open your mouth, and everyone will discuss it, how can you just make it difficult by yourself, and then do something stupid." Well, since things have been done wrong, although there are extenuating circumstances, I can't punish you. If so, then ......"

"Then you will be fined half a year's moon silver and copy the scriptures ten times." punished Wang lightly, and Jia's mother said to Jia again: "In addition, I see that she is a housekeeper, and she seems to be a little powerless, so it is better to let the eldest lady and Feng Yatou help her." What do you think, forgiveness? At this time, Jia's mother was not only pleasant, but even shouted the light 'pardon'.

She had long been looking at Xing's soap industry, and she was worried that she wouldn't have a chance to intervene. If you can teach the Xing family's housekeeper, the big deal will be to spend all the money on her, and there will be so much silver in the left and right houses, once the flowers are used up, see if she doesn't fill it in. In addition, the Wang family and Feng Yatou demolished the wall on the side, and they could always pry a good brick from Xing's hands.

"Not how." The old man didn't raise his eyelids, so he refused: "Xing is a stupid person, he can't figure out his own mess every day, and he has to help Yingchun." Let her be the housekeeper, and the days in this house will not be over. Although Feng Yatou is shrewd, she has been married for five years, and it is her top priority to give birth to the child first with Lian'er, and I am afraid that she will not have time to help the second family. ”

Wishful thinking failed, Jia's mother's face was slightly gloomy, and she was going to say something, but she heard Jia Yu say: "In addition, although the second family is confused for a while, this public treasury cannot be checked, lest there be anything missing in the future, she can't say it clearly, wouldn't it be wronged." In the future, our family should also set a rule, and we must take stock of the public treasury every year, so that we don't know if we lose anything. ”

"It's still set for tomorrow, and Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites won't be invited, but they still have to be there. After all, there are some things in Curry that belong to the entire clan, and they should be inventoried in front of them. Again, because the second family has a criminal record, the key to this treasury can no longer be left to her. Just now, I have ordered someone to change the lock, and I will keep the key in the future. Old lady, no opinion, right? ”

No comments? The opinion is great!

Mother Jia really didn't expect that Jia Amnesty's shot would be so poisonous, she didn't tell them about the key at all, and directly changed the chain. Although she has a stomach full of opinions, but she has just protected the Wang family who made a mistake, how should those opinions be raised? I'm afraid that as soon as my opinion is spoken, Jia Yu's nonsense is already waiting for him.

"It's okay to change the locks. But in my opinion, it would be better to add two more locks, and put three locks in the door. I'll keep one here, Zheng'er will have one in his hand, and you will take one too. If you want to open the public treasury in the future, you can only have three keys in place, and you can open it without saving one key, so it will naturally be easy to steal from the guards. ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Yu couldn't help but look at Jia's mother with admiration, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy! In just this short time, she can calculate everything and not let him hold the treasury in her hands, it is really difficult for her to be so old and her brain can turn so fast.

"Agreed. After Ming'er took inventory, he added two more locks. The old man nodded happily, but it was just two locks, and he could change one and two more, and it wouldn't take much trouble.

was not robbed of the housekeeper's power, which made Mrs. Wang breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that she can't hold the treasury anymore, and she can't say that she has to make up for what she has in hand, which makes her feel so distressed. On the one hand, he secretly scolded Jia Yu for being vicious, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how much he should make up, so that he could not only get through the tricks, but also stay more.

Before she could figure it out, she was attracted by Jia Yu's words, and her face was no longer ugly, and she was actually happy.

"I have one more thing to discuss with the old lady and the second child." The old man picked up the newly changed hot tea, smiled at the second elder Zheng, and smiled so that he frowned uncomfortably, and then said: "This matter has something to do with Baoyu, why don't you ask him to come and hear about it?" ”

"It's about Baoyu, what's the matter? You tell me first, and then see if you sue sù Baoyu, that kid is timid, don't scare him. As soon as he heard the word Baoyu, Jia Mudeng became energetic and asked with concern.

It was the second old man and his wife, who also forgot about the things next to him, and looked at the old man intently to see what he had to say.

Jia Yu only came back today, what can be related to Baoyu?

"You also know that the longevity of the Emperor Taishang is in March, and this year is the first birthday, so the saint naturally wants to hold a big longevity festival. On the way back from the south, I chatted with the Holy One, and I talked about it. At that time, the saint was worried about what birthday gift to give to the old saint. I said that the old sage believed in Buddhism, so it was better to send some hand-copied Buddhist scriptures. ”

Seeing that the three of them were very concerned, the old man did not sell the guanzi, and said eloquently: "The saint said that in the past, I always sent hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, I am afraid that there is nothing new." The saint thought that if he could find some extraordinary people who were born and had great creations to copy, he would not be able to be more favored by the Buddha and more pious. As soon as I heard it, I thought that our family was born with jade, but isn't it such a creative one. So, he mentioned Baoyu to the saint, who knew that when he talked about him, the saint still knew. ”

"Yes, yes! Then, what did the saint say, can you agree with Baoyu to copy? Three voices, almost in no particular order, asked.
