22 crisis
Although Jia Jiu didn't say it clearly, when he got his meaning, the girls below naturally knew what to do. Although there were no people discussing these things in Jia Jiu's courtyard, outside, in the mouths of the rough mothers-in-law in other places, there were a lot of relevant rumors. And it quickly spread from the back garden to the outside.
After the separation, several cooks who originally served Jia's mother in the big kitchen went to the newly opened Jia's mother's cooking kitchen, and the three of Jia Yu's accustomed Lao Ge's family, Pang Fu's family, and Chengqing's family became the leaders in the big kitchen, and they went through the bumps and bumps at the beginning. The three of them soon took control of the entire large kitchen. It was because they were wholeheartedly fighting for power in the big kitchen that they were the latest to know the news.
When Cheng Qingjia heard the news, he hurried all the way back to the big kitchen, and hit the wall several times on the way because of the speed of running. Cheng Qingjia didn't care about the pain in his body, so he turned around with his strength, and continued to run towards the big kitchen, and when he ran to the big kitchen, he was speechless, so he could only sit next to Lao Ge's family and pant vigorously.
It was the Pang Fu family who followed him, because of his stout body and amazing weight, he couldn't outrun the Cheng Qing family, but it also allowed him to share the news he got with his friends when he arrived at his destination.
"Old sister, have you heard? After Miss Yun scolded our girl for the grapes, the third girl also came to our girl for the window screen. As a guest, Shi Xiangyun actually blamed Jia Jiu, which showed that Shi Xiangyun's lack of sufficient education also caused many servants of the Jia family to share the same hatred. In quite a few places. The minions of the Jia family no longer call him Miss Shi but directly call him Miss Yun, obviously annoying Shi Xiangyun. As for the spring visit. Because he is Jia's mother's own granddaughter and a first-time offender, he has not been directly called by his maiden name at the moment. But the contempt for him is also appropriate.
Lao Ge's family said: "What's so strange about this? Although it is said that our lord gives 7,200 taels of silver every year in addition to the 30,000 taels of silver, but where is our old lady so easy to spend? If you want me to say, these 37,200 taels of silver looks like a lot, but the real loss of silver every year is less than 1,000 taels of silver. In the past, the old lady's expenses were directly hung on the public account, and we also saw in the account book of the big kitchen, just the food in the old lady's yard was no less than 20 taels of silver a day, plus the greedy ink, filling her own pockets and other things, the old lady's daily food expenses have exceeded 50 taels and approached 70 taels. That's what we're seeing. Plus other overheads. Do you calculate, how much money will the old lady consume in a year? People say that living within one's means is enough, but how much was the annual balance of this public middle school in the past? From the housekeeper's wife to the servants who handle it, all of them are selfish and want to empty the public school, but the old lady turns a blind eye to it, and in the end, she doesn't run out of money and lives by pawning! ”
Both the Cheng Qing family and the Pang Fu family nodded again and again: "No, the old sister can still see it." If we hadn't seen the ledger, we wouldn't have believed that the old lady would eat so much silver every year. ”
Cheng Qingjia said: "Reasoning." This shouldn't have been said by us, but whether it's our lord or our girl, we've had a really wronged life. Don't talk about Miss Yun. He was spoiled by his family, and he didn't know what to do. But why is this third girl so arrogant? Miss Yun still knows that she will tell our girl in private in our girl's house, but this third girl is in public. In front of Second Master Bao, Miss Yun and the old lady, the mandarin duck scolded our girl. ”
"Mandarin ducks?" Lao Ge's family gently tapped the hookah gun in his hand and slowly changed the tobacco. Then he said, "Don't you see it yet?" Where did the third girl really find our girl about the curtain? He took the risk so that the old lady would know. A little older child, that's all there is to it. If he is older, he doesn't know what to do. ”
Lao Ge's family has experienced a lot of things among the three of them, so they naturally know that there are many children in this mansion that should not be underestimated. Like his father, these three girls are all stakes, and they can't be taken lightly.
Pang Fujia said: "If this third girl is just so thoughtful and wants to enter the eyes of the old lady, then forget it." Sister, have you heard? Word came out of the house of the three girls, saying that our girls' jewelry was not the proper part of the girls. ”
Lao Ge's family burst out laughing, and a tall and thin mother-in-law next to him accosted: "This is also interesting." Our girl is our girl, and the third girl is the third girl. Our girl is a serious master in this house, but the third girl is from that side, and the third girl's share is received from there, how can she receive it from this house. I don't know if it's a nonsense spread by an ignorant person. ”
The three members of Lao Ge's family, Pang Fu's family, and Chengqing's family hurriedly turned their heads, but saw that it was Mother Jia's mother-in-law in the kitchen, and hurriedly said, "Big sister, why are you here?" ”
Mrs. Qin said: "Three old sisters, but I have the cheekiness to come to the old sister for help today." We also know that since the family has been separated, we shouldn't have come to bother the big kitchen, especially now that we have separated and the lord has given the silver. But where is that second master Bao so easy to stop? Eating pheasant melon seeds and bad goose paws, and eggplant at this time. Before, he and Miss Yun were arguing about eating fried chicken, and they had almost ruined the ingredients in the old lady's house. Even that jar of eggplant was also pounded up. The old ladies also know that this eggplant has to be marinated for at least half a month to satisfy the old lady, but now an old lady ordered this dish again. Our eggplant has just been pickled, how can it taste good? I also asked the three old sisters to help, if there is a ready-made one, borrow a little bit first, so that we can deal with the past today. ”
Cheng Qingjia was taken aback: "I remember that you took all the pickled ingredients from this big kitchen before, right?" Why are they all gone? Cheng Qing's family didn't lie. After the family was separated, Jia Yu opened another kitchen for Jia's mother, and the people and ingredients were also taken away by the cooks. It's not nice to say. These days, the officials who came to this mansion to help rebuild the Rongxi Hall have eaten nothing more than home-cooked food made by the mothers-in-law who guarded the door. Those good cooks who can make banquets and the ingredients used to make banquets are all in Jia's mother's hands.
Mrs. Qin also blushed. He knew it was a bit out of the way. It's just that the most important thing right now is to find the ingredients to deal with this meal. The minions of the Jia family are all good at shirking responsibility, not to mention. This time, Mrs. Qin also felt aggrieved in her heart.
Mrs. Qin said: "It is said that the work in the old lady's house is the most relaxed and decent, but where does the outside know our difficulties." This house is good. The lord is not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything, and the girl is also careful and cherishes things, but where are we? It turned out that the second master of Bao loved to spoil things, and the old lady loved him again, and now he has added Miss Yun and the third girl. Take this eggplant as an example, when does the kitchen in our house not do it? It's just that the eggplant came up a little late this year, and he asked for the chicken fat chicken breast meat to go with him, but this year, the chicken fat chicken breast in the old lady's house was almost ruined. There is only one little bit left for the top, where is there more to do this! ”
Lao Ge's family said: "Since there is none, why don't you find a buyer to buy outside?" ”
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said, "The cat on the purchase is greasy, others don't know, don't you and I still know?" I really envy the old sisters. The shopping master in this house can see it clearly, the master doesn't like to be wronged, what Zhuangzi sends, what the lord and the girls eat. This one is gone, and it is also made for something else. But we can't do it there. Especially that little master, if he doesn't fulfill his heart, he himself will be unhappy and muttering about our mistakes. But if the old lady knows, where will we end up! If there is another mischievous cloud girl, we can only do our best. Otherwise, it would be light, and I was afraid of angering the old lady. Woe to disaster. ”
Lao Ge's family and Pang Fu's family looked at each other, and then they smiled: "Big sister." It's not that we don't help you, it's that we don't have this ready-made eggplant here. As you can see, we've just sorted things out here, and we don't have the time to do that. As for our girls, they don't like to eat these greasy things, and they rarely do what they don't have. But I've heard that a lot of it has been done over there. I'll send someone to help you ask. It's just one thing, the two of the Huansha Pavilion are the most delicate, if you ask them where to borrow it, you don't know that there will be two girls. If you don't want to alarm the two girls, that's fine; If you have to do this, then the old woman will give up this face and go to the Huansha Museum with you. ”
The old Ge family thought that Mrs. Qin was deliberately testing them, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Qin really needed this eggplant, and they were curious about the current situation in Mother Jia's yard. The eggplant dish is not a very popular dish in the Jia family, so why do you need to borrow it? How strict is the situation of waste in the old lady's yard?
After Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters heard about Qin's request, they didn't feel much embarrassed, and directly called a mother-in-law to help Qin Pozi move the jar back. It's just that after Mrs. Qin left, Jia Qing gossiped with her sister about things in Jia's mother's yard.
30,000 taels of silver a year plus 7,200 taels of food, this is not a small amount, why is the old lady still lacking in the east and west? How long has it been, why is this missing in the old lady's yard?
The matter that was supposed to be circulating in the inner house was quickly known to Jia Jing, and even You and Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also heard about it. Even Ning Guofu knew about it, how could Jia Jiu not know?
On the day the news came, Jia Jiu was copying the Tao Te Ching. The "Tao Te Ching" and "Nanhua Sutra" in his hand are the two books that were obtained at the Lotus Flower Festival, both of which are manuscripts, especially this "Tao Te Ching", the copyist is very serious when copying, the whole book is more than 5,000 words, and the other party meticulously uses the ancient seal to copy it neatly. Jia Jiu also thought that this book was the same as the cheats in the martial arts routine, which needed to be soaked in water and roasted with fire to reveal the hidden content. But in fact, this book is just a very ordinary manuscript. On the contrary, the "Nanhua Sutra" actually copied a sword book and a fist book in the blank space of the inner page of the book with transparent glue. Although the glue is transparent, it is clear under the lamp and candle, and you can even see the difference by touching it with your hand.
Jia Jiu was very curious, could it be that the previous owner of this book was a blind man?
And after spending a hundred points for the system to transcribe both the sword score and the fist score, Jia Jiu became more and more embarrassed.
"Jiuyang Tianjue" and "Xingyi Taijiquan".
It seems that the fool was once blind......
Jia Jiu seemed to hear the auspicious bird of Daqi dragging a long tone and shouting loudly, "Fool, fool", flying over his head. His teaching system confirmed his conjecture: "Jiuyang Tianjue" is the complete version, and "Xingyi Taijiquan" is also the most authentic annotated version.
"Xingyi Taijiquan" does not say. "Jiuyang Heavenly Formula" is a martial art that can be quickly completed or practiced step by step, but if it is done quickly. If you don't have too much emotion to assist, it's easy to go crazy; And if you cultivate step by step. Considering the lifespan of the dumb melon in the Thunderbolt World and the senior, Jia Jiu felt that the day when he would fully cultivate this martial art was far away, even if he had the [Advanced Cultivation Field] as an anti-heaven plug-in.
But the "Armor and Martial Arts" is the same, and I don't know how many years it will take to cultivate. The problem is that cultivating the "Nine Yang Heavenly Technique" ensures that he can borrow the power of the Daomen, and if he cultivates the "Armor and Martial Arts", then he can only avoid the Daomen.
Jia Jiu didn't think that the people of the Dao Sect would accept his martial arts outside of these two martial arts.
Considering his current strength and family, and considering the possibility that the emperor was short of silver and finally slaughtered the nobles as fat sheep, Jia Jiu finally chose "Jiuyang Tianjue" and "Xingyi Taijiquan" after thinking about it for three days in the [Advanced Cultivation Ground].
He believes that since Daomen gave himself the "Nanhua Sutra", which records these two secret books. Then the subsequent assessment will definitely involve these two sets of martial arts. If you use other martial arts in the assessment, you will only bring trouble to yourself in the end.
"Jiuyang Tianjue" is very coincidental, although it is not a difficult sword score to learn, but in fact it is difficult to improve. He emphasized that martial artists should be gradual and not rash, and preached the spirit of kendo that practice first and train the heart. Jiuyang Tianjue is a sword book that sees the truth and seeks the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, among which the five yang moves can best reflect the characteristics of the sword spectrum, and the five yang moves are the number in the middle, the easiest to learn, and it is also a quick path to enter the Jiuyang Tianjue. It seems that as long as you peek through the moves of the five yangs, you can reach the sword moves of Jiuyang and even crack the Jiuyang Heavenly Formula. In fact, if you do this, you lose Kenshin. If you use the Five Yang into the sword to lose the principle of the endless life of the Heavenly Dao and cannot practice the previous sword moves, resulting in incomplete swordsmanship, even if you try to break through the upper limit of nine, it is only a vain, and the dangerous person will even go astray or even go mad because of this.
What makes Jia Jiu happy is that the mental method of "Jiuyang Tianjue" is the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, and the only way to practice this mental method is to copy this "Tao Te Ching". Because the person who copied this book in the first place has already incorporated the mind into every word of this book. As long as you keep copying each other's words, you can understand the mental method contained between the lines. The closer the font and the force used to the opponent, the more beneficial this sword technique will be.
For this reason, Jia Jiu had to spend 10,000 points to copy a complete copy of the Tao Te Ching. And hid the original in his own system backpack. And under the temptation of the intelligent housekeeper, he spent another 10,000 points to exchange for the dawn of the heavenly sheath. The famous sword Jin Feng and the Aurora Sword are one buy one and get one free, and they are still built according to their current height. As for the reason for the huàn. Jia Jiu came completely for the 30% increase in cultivation speed. The smart housekeeper also promised that if Jia Jiu grew up, he could also redeem the normal size of the heavenly sheath for free. In contrast, the golden demon outfit was the white gift, and it was hidden by the snow early.
When the news reached Jia Jiu, Jia Jiu was copying the Tao Te Ching. After listening to the words of the girl below, he just wanted to speak, but he still kept his mouth shut.
He would love to say that there are two such things, and there are two and three. Once you start, there will be an endless stream of such things in the future. But the more things like this happen, the more they can't be explained. Even if the thing was ruined by Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, even if it was a ghost made by someone who bought it, it had nothing to do with Jia Jiu, as long as Jia Jiu showed a little sign of unwillingness, he couldn't run away with an unfilial hat.
can ask Jia Jiu to make up for it again and again, and Jia Jiu is not reconciled. After all, Jia Yu has already given so much money, which is comparable to the income of three or four princes in a year, and if Jia Mu is subsidized again, this is a lot of pressure.
Jia Jiu suddenly realized. Something seems wrong?
He thought that after Jia Yuanchun died and was grounded, Jia's mother would put a little bit of love on herself and her family. But the fact is that Jia Mu is still very biased, and would rather turn a blind eye to all kinds of things around her, but want to subsidize him with more money from her own family.
Jia Jiu knows very well why Jia's mother needs so much money, it's one thing for Jia's mother to like to enjoy, and it's true that Jia's mother wants to subsidize Jia Zheng. Jia Mu may be really ruthless to others, but for Jia Zheng, Jia Mu is really motherly. Even though this kind of love is likely to bring very strict consequences, Jia's mother still plans for her younger son wholeheartedly.
Jia Jiu couldn't help but think like this, even if it was what he was most reluctant and unwilling to face. Because that would mean that there would be no room for maneuver between grandparents and grandchildren. Jia Jiu knows very well that this time the family is divided, how much property his father has taken, plus the money that his father has obtained from his ancestors, which he vaguely heard before, can definitely make a normal person take risks.
Now, Jia Jiu must figure out whether Jia Mu is really changing the way to hold the silver. You must know that only the real evidence of Mrs. Wang's greed for ink was caught before, and Jia Mu had no other charges except for being deceived and confused by Diao Nu. is not careful, and the next ending is that Jia Jiu will go toe-to-toe with Jia Mu, which is also the biggest and most cruel injury to Jia Yu. And Jia Jiu didn't get any benefits.
Once he had a knot, Jia Jiu couldn't help but start to suspect Jia Mu, but he hid it well and didn't let others find anything wrong.
It's Jia Mu, he really hasn't noticed these things. Or rather, he didn't care about the kitchen at all. Jia Mu is a person who is used to enjoying it, and she is also a rare person in the Great Qi Dynasty who has both good fortune and longevity. Born in a wealthy family, married into a new family that was favored and trusted by the emperor, and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world. There are a full house of sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, and great-granddaughters-in-law who honor her; There are countless unrecognizable maids, mothers-in-law, and Xiaosi serving her. Especially Mrs. Wang, who is in charge of the family, in order to be able to keep her throne as the wife in Rongguo Mansion, she did everything possible to be filial to her and cater to her, so that Jia's mother could enjoy herself.
Jia Mu thought that she would spend her old age like this, but she didn't expect the change to come so quickly. First, his own granddaughter sued the royal court, then the two daughters-in-law were imprisoned, and then the family and clan were separated. When Jia's mother came back to her senses, the Jia family not only became the laughing stock of the people in Beijing, but even the future of her youngest son's family was lost.
Jia Zheng, Jia Yuanchun, Jia Baoyu and the late Jia Zhu were all brought up by Jia's mother, and their falling to the point where they are today is equivalent to ripping off Jia's mother's heart. Seeing the misery of her youngest son now, even knowing that it was not Jia Yu's fault, Jia's mother was still uneasy, and Jia's mother couldn't see the eldest son, the only daughter. It's just that he also knows that with a child like Jia Jiu, he will be the one who has a headache in the end. Therefore, Jia Mucai has never had a seizure.
Just like Jia Jiu using the minions of the Jia family to trap Jia Yuanchun and Shi Xiangyun, Jia's mother is also waiting for an opportunity to use these minions to trap Jia Jiu.
This granddaughter is not what he likes, and she is one of the black hands who directly guided his youngest son's family to the point where it is now, and Jia's mother, who urgently needs to be angry, naturally set her sights on this granddaughter.
As for whether this granddaughter can take over her tricks and what will become if she can't, Jia's mother has never considered it.
Jia Mu is such a willful person. In the face of the next crisis, Jia Jiu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he hesitated and made a decision, and Jia Qian and Jia Qing were either not smart enough or lacked enough experience, so they naturally didn't know anything about it.
They thought that the eggplant was just a small thing, where did they think that Jia Mu had already done it? (To be continued......)
