Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Qiang came over, he saw Lin Zhixiao leading a group of subordinates to scrub the gold and silver utensils on the warehouse.

Seeing Jia Qiang passing by, Lin Zhixiao and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Jia Qiang waved her hand, looked at the piles of utensils like a hill, and asked, "Why are there so many?" ”

Lin Zhixiao smiled and said: "Two. Grandma asked the big house to be piled up together, so there was no need to fiddle with it separately. ”

Jia Qiang laughed dumbly when she heard this, and now Sister Feng also owns a family business in a national mansion.

However, Jia Lian will always come back one day.

After Jia's mother passed away, he pulled down.

"Lord Hou......"

Lin Zhixiao suddenly looked at Jia Qiang, and stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable.

Jia Qiang asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Zhixiao said: "Two. Grandma let load two cars...... Send it to the ship. ”

Jia Qiang was slightly stunned at first when she heard this, and then pulled the corners of her mouth.

Also, this one is also a man who takes care of his mother's family, and he is also a demon who helps his brother.

He stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of his eyebrows, and said, "Don't bother, I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

Seeing that Lin Zhixiao was still hesitating, Jia Qiang frowned, and Lin Zhixiao hurriedly responded and retreated.

Jia Qiang went inside, it was also a coincidence, and as soon as she entered the second gate, she saw Sister Feng passing by with a few daughters-in-law and girls.

Seeing Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, she said happily: "Yo! How can you be reluctant to come over at this time? ”

Looking at Sister Feng'er, who is now more and more brilliant in colorful embroidery, bright and bright, and has a beautiful face that seems to be shining, Jia Qiang sneered, and said to the daughters-in-law and girls behind her: "You guys stand back first, I have something to say to the second aunt." ”

The other daughters-in-law and girls didn't dare to say more and stepped back.

Sister Feng'er's pretty face was red, Danfeng's eyes were full of peach blossoms, and she lowered her voice and said to Jia Qiang: "I'm going to die!" What are you doing here? ”

“……”

Jia Qiang smiled angrily: "What do you want to do!" I just passed by the warehouse, and saw Lin Zhixiao taking someone to wipe the gold and silver utensils, and asked a few words, I heard that you are going to bring it back to the Wang family? ”

When Sister Feng heard this, her face returned to normal, and a little unease flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I haven't been back to my parents' house for so many years, can't I bring some gifts back?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "You are also confused, bring two carts of things like that back, wouldn't it be clear to tell people that you are wronged?" There are so many clansmen, which one do you send or which one you don't send? is so ostentatious, whatever you give makes people feel light, and I only hate you for despising them. How is human nature, you don't count it yourself? ”

The agitation in Sister Feng'er's eyes dissipated, and she said thoughtfully: "It also makes sense, if you really take two cars back, it's really not enough...... So what do you say? ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "Just bring back some of the local products in the capital......

Before she finished speaking, Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "I have been the daughter-in-law of your Jia family for so many years, and I have served the old and the young?" In the end, I have to serve you, the eldest marquis? In summary? Just bring some local products back to your parents' house? Where are you going to put my face? The daughter of the Wang family is so worthless? ”

Jia Qiang "tsk"? Said: "I haven't finished saying this yet?" What are you anxious about? Lighter with a gift belt and more silver tickets to go back? For you to chew on Lao Tzu Niang, it is not a hundred times stronger than those false jobs. ”

Sister Feng'er's face soothed when she heard this? But he was still unwilling to say: "That outsider looks at it, it doesn't look like it!" ”

Jia Qiang sneered: "What can I do when I bring things back to my house?" I sent four guards in embroidered clothes and brocade clothes? Wearing a three-mountain gauze hat and an embroidered spring knife on the waist with you back to Wang's house? Isn't it a hundred times stronger than two cars of pickled vulgar things? Even if you only bring some local products back, your father and mother will be a hundred times more glorious in the clan. Just me remind you? Those four guards will only escort you, take care of your safety, and will not interfere in any lawsuits. You can maintain your honor, because you have it. However, even Sister Lin will not casually promise anyone outside to undertake anything. Is this the rule at home? Is it also the family style of the Jia family? When someone asks you for money, money, benefits, and the decision, you just have to answer in this way, and you are not ashamed. Remember? ”

When Sister Feng heard these domineering words, her heart was numb, Danfeng glanced at Jia Qiang, and said, "How much have I forgotten what you ordered?" ”

Just think about her sedan chair being escorted back to the Wang house by four embroidered guards with embroidered spring knives, and that scene must have shocked many pairs of eyes, and her heart was sweet!

Sister Feng also knew that the affairs of the capital could not be hidden, so she wanted to send it back to the south as soon as possible.

I don't know how those who are jealous of the wealth in Beijing will abuse her behind their backs.

She is far away and doesn't care about it, but her old son and brother are still in Jinling.

can go back in a beautiful way to take a moment of demonic wind, and fight for dignity for the family, not to mention how proud Sister Feng is!

Of course, it would be even more perfect if we could deal with a few more injustices in a majestic manner......

However, with Jia Qiang's warning, she also sobered up a little, and finally figured it out, she still had to live her own life, don't waste it......

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "You should be careful about the major rights and wrongs, and everyone on the side can indulge you, and ...... outside affairs."

Hearing his threatening tone, Sister Feng was not good-natured, and raised her eyebrows and said, "How are you doing?" ”

Jia Qiang said lightly: "It's not good, it's very simple, if you really break the rules, when you see you again next time, Ping'er, Xiangling, and Keqing are not allowed to help you, just yourself." ”

Sister Feng'er's pretty face turned red at once, but then she was blue and white again, and gritted her teeth and said, "You ruthless, do you really want my life?" Bah! ”

Jia Qiang ignored it, turned around and walked towards Rongqing Hall, Sister Feng glared at his back, but hurriedly followed.

……

In Rongqing Hall, except for a certain big-faced plate, the rest of the people laughed and laughed.

However, after Jia Qiang and Sister Feng came in, they greeted Jia's mother first, and said to Baoyu first: "I'm going to invite Liu Xianglian and Brother Xue to dinner tonight, will you go together?" ”

Baoyu was obviously taken aback, but seeing Jia Qiang's faint gaze, she still nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

Jia Mu was overjoyed when she saw it, and asked Jia Qiang: "You are also generous, and the girls around you are not left behind, and they are all sent out, I will see what you will do in February!" ”

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "Aren't you here to pick up the mandarin ducks?" ”

The sisters laughed, and the mandarin duck's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at Jia Qiang angrily and full of resentment.

When Jia Qiang and Xifu tore their faces and hurt their hands, she was worried, and the most worrying thing at that time was whether she still had a chance to go to Dongfu......

I didn't expect it to come so soon!

Jia's mother was also happy, Jia Qiang could laugh again, indicating that she was no longer so resentful in her heart, which was a good thing, she smiled: "I can't afford it now, without her, I can't even sleep well." You are generous and send everyone out for a walk, I won't fill this hole for you, just find a way to find it yourself. I said okay, when you and Yu'er get married, I will only talk for half a year. ”

The mandarin duck's pretty face turned red, and she didn't dare to look up to see people, and the other sisters became more and more cheerful.

Tanchun said: "It's a pity that the second sister didn't go with us...... What are you doing at home alone? ”

Yingchun saw that the sisters looked over, their faces were a little unnatural, and they said softly: "Reading music, you can also hunt for treasure girls to catch Go." ”

Xiangyun reminded: "Love sister, the opportunity is rare." How many people have never encountered such an opportunity in their lifetime! Why don't you go with us? ”

When Yingchun heard this, he hesitated again.

In fact, she was still reluctant to go, but she could not bear the persuasion of the sisters, who had been persuading them for a long time......

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "The third aunt and sister Shi are wrong, this is to go out to be happy, the second aunt doesn't want to go out, so she wants to watch chess at home, and there is nothing wrong with it." Everyone has their own ambitions, so why force them? ”

Tanchun pouted and said, "Who doesn't like to go out and be naughty!" ”

Jia Qiang sneered: "There is one in this world who doesn't like to go out even more, what do you say?" ”

Xiangyun looked at Baoyu from the side and laughed, and Xichun also giggled.

After everyone laughed, Jia Qiang stood up and said: "Prepare all the salutes, someone will come in a while, send your salutes to the boat first, and the nurses and mothers-in-law with each other will also get on the boat first, clean the room, lay out the covers, and settle the daily necessities, so you don't have to panic after the boat tomorrow morning." When Ming'er got up early, he took a refreshing and neat ride to the pier to board the boat, slept hotly, opened his eyes, listened to the sound of the river, and had a big feast together, listening to the ......"

Li Kun on the side really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a smile: "Qiang'er deliberately made people greedy!" Hearing him say this, even my heart was moved! ”

Jia Mu smiled: "You wait for the next time, they are all gone, and no one at home will take care of them." ”

Sister Feng smiled on the side: "Why don't you go, sister-in-law, and I'll stay?" But without waiting for Li Kun to speak, he laughed loudly again: "I don't mean to talk about it, it's really kind, but the eldest sister-in-law is reluctant to Lan'er......"

"Phew!"

Jia Mu laughed on the soft couch on the high platform: "And you said that you are not playing tricks? ”

Sister Feng smiled: "Ancestor, I'm really not playing tricks. I prepared some gifts to take back, and finally went back to my parents' house, and I didn't know if I could go back a second time in this life, so I wanted to give a heavy gift to my family. Unexpectedly, when Lin Zhixiao took someone to scrub the silverware on the warehouse, he let Qiang'er look at it, scolded Lin Zhixiao for the rules, and told me why it was okay to send some sustenances, but marrying the Jia family is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, how can there be a reason to move silver to her mother's house? I took two truckloads of stew, fritters, and sugar people back to my parents' house, and it was not easy to enter the door! Anyway, if the sister-in-law really wants to go, let her go. ”

Mother Jia looked at Jia Qiang when she heard this, and said, "Feng girl coaxes me all day long, I don't believe it, you just let her bring two carts of local products back to her parents' house?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "What is that?" Bring back two truckloads of gold and silver antiques, who is enough to share? Jia's family, or Wang's? How many people are there and how many elders are there? Many of the old ones who could not move, and when they heard that they had brought back so many goods, they would also get up and meet them. If you give this one and that, you have to give it, give it to you, not to mention two cars, ten cars and eight cars are not enough. I simply brought some local products back, and in addition to my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I sent four embroidered clothes guards to escort me. It's not a fake public benefit, it's to let the second aunt go back to the south to bring a few words to the Jia family and the Wang family......"

Sister Feng was surprised, what did she say, she didn't say it just now, and she didn't say it last night......

Jia Mu was curious: "You asked her to bring a message to Nanbian'er?" What do you say......" Suddenly, her face changed, and she said, "Brother Qiang, shouldn't you be a rule here in the capital, and you want to go there?" I can tell you, even the sects on both sides are divided, there is a ancestral hall in the south, and we all have an ancestral hall, you, the patriarch, can't manage the division of the sect in the southern province! ”

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "You always care about them? I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will come to the door, and you will have to let me take care of it. At present, the new policy is about to be implemented, and it is imperative to measure the acres of land. In addition, there is a ...... to crack down on a series of criminal violations"

Jia Mu was taken aback and said, "They live their lives well, where will they break the law and commit crimes?" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "In addition to putting Yinzi money to meddle in lawsuits, which most of them will do, there is another thing, that is, private servants and maids." This time, the imperial court strictly investigated the crime of concealing people without permission. The court law, Xiucai can have one slave, four people, and six jinshi...... Layer by layer, it is a first-class scholar, but it can only support one hundred and twenty people, and the number of officials bought with silver will be halved. However, now the wealthy landlords and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River have dozens or hundreds of slaves, and there are more than a thousand.

How could the imperial court ignore such a large number of dingkou for a long time by turning them into private slaves and evading the dingkou tax? The Dingkou tax is the purview of the Ministry of Households, so it must be led by the gentleman. When the time comes, I will most likely personally take down a group of disobedient magnates and giants to make an example of chickens and monkeys. But people will not sit still, and will definitely fight back. There is no need to worry about anything in the east and west mansions of the Jia family in the capital, they are all super high-grade national mansions, and the number of slaves is up to eight hundred, where can they be used up?

But in Nan Province, they are not direct relatives of the Guogong Mansion, and they have too many slaves, or they are dead.

Therefore, the second aunt can convey the meaning of the previous words, put the seal to get money, use the power to bully others and meddle in the lawsuit, force out the lives of others, and accumulate slaves and trespass...... Those who should be picked up should be picked up neatly. Don't wait for people to sue, when I sent the embroidered clothes guard to carry the embroidered spring knife to the door to raid the house and take people, I said that my clan did not take good care of it. ”

Sister Feng: "......"

Jia Mu: "......"

Sister Feng hesitated for a moment and asked Li Kun, "Sister-in-law really doesn't want to go to Southern Province for a visit?" I mean sincerely, I never tell lies, or you should go, really. ”

Although she didn't think that she could stay in Jinling for a few more days, she had to rush to Yangzhou and escort Daiyu before she went to Suzhou.

But it's one thing to take the initiative to leave early, but it's another thing to stay at home and be hated.

Sister Feng didn't have to think about it, she could also think of what would happen to those people in Jinling after conveying these words......

I'm afraid I won't eat her directly!

Li Kun said with a smile: "Whether you are sincere or false, I am not easy to go." Seeing that it was about to get cold, I made winter clothes and thick quilts, and sent them to the school for Lan'er, where can I go......

As he spoke, he smiled with Jia Qiang again: "I still have to worry about Qiang'er." ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Actually, thick winter clothes and thick bedding are uniformly distributed in the school, but the eldest aunt can do it if she wants to." ”

When Li Kun heard this, he said "ah", looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Then, Qiang'er, let me think about it again, let me think about it again......"

……

PS: A little later in the afternoon, go to the airport to see off the guests, alas......
