Chapter 39: Exposed
Jia Ke came out of Jia Zheng's small study, came to the front yard, found Lin Zhixiao, Liu Yu and others, Xianfeng instructed Lin Zhixiao and said: "You first find me a separate room, put our things in it, and then prepare dinner for everyone." I have something to say after eating. ”
Lin Zhixiao got Jia Ke's order and immediately found an empty room nearby.
Jia Ke instructed Liu Yu to let the pro-soldiers team do it together and put the belongings in the car into the room. And left two people to guard.
After Lin Zhixiao put his belongings in the room, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.
Jia Ke didn't mention eating with everyone, and was talking about Mama Lai's return home. Lai's home is also a big mansion with five or six yards, and there is a small garden in the backyard, which is also very delicately decorated. There are also dozens of servants in the house, just like the official eunuchs.
Mama Lai entered the bedroom in the backyard, lay on the low couch, looked at the ceiling and thought about things, she was thinking about what else she couldn't know about the Jia family? Jia Zhengfei wanted to kick her out. It must be something involving the Lai family. I'm afraid it's not a good thing, I'm afraid it's either Lai Da or Lai Er, something has happened.
Mama Lai called a little maid in and asked, "Are you Uncle Lai back?" ”
The little maid replied, "The minion doesn't know now, but it should be a while at the usual hour." ”
Mama Lai said: "You go out and watch, your Uncle Lai comes back and asks him to come to see me immediately." ”
The little maid agreed to go out and stared.
After a while, it was almost time for dinner when Lai Da returned. Hearing the little maid say that Mama Lai wanted to see him, she immediately went to Mama Lai's room.
When I entered the door, I saw Mama Lai lying on the low couch and looking at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lai Da hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to his mother, since Lai Da is back. He asked quietly, "What have you found recently to get money?" ”
Lai Da hurriedly returned to his mother and said, "There is a way to make money, but I just made a little money and didn't tell my mother." ”
Mama Lai said: "Now I want to hear you tell me what the truth is. ”
Lai Da said to his mother: "Just because the old lady gave Wangjiatun to the uncle, the uncle is still young and doesn't know how to operate, the master doesn't care about these small things, so he reported a drought according to the method of previous years, and earned more than 2,000 taels of silver." ”
Mama Lai was furious when she heard this, thinking that in the old lady's room just now, Jia Zheng must have reported this matter to the old lady, no wonder Jia Zheng drove himself out of the room, he didn't expect Lai Da to be so bold, and he dared to make a ghost out of it as soon as the old lady gave him the land. What would the old lady think when she knew it, and she felt a chill in her heart when she remembered the old lady's previous methods.
Mama Lai shouted at Lai Dada: "Kneel down for me, who gave you such courage to make a ghost in front of the old lady." ”
Lai Da said aggrievedly: "Wasn't it all like this before? It's okay to hide it, which master has time to check this. ”
Mama Lai said angrily: "Didn't you hear if I asked you to kneel, or did you say that your wings were stiff, and you didn't listen to my words." ”
Lai Da saw that his mother was really angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Lai Mama said ruthlessly: "These things are all shady deeds, I have never seen you do so boldly." Just now, the old man has already made it clear to the old lady, and I will see how you end. ”
Lai was shocked and said, "How is this good, the mother should quickly think of a way for her son." ”
Mama Lai looked at him and said, "Aren't you capable, are you cowardly now?" Do your own work and don't know how to finish it yourself? ”
Lai Da had no idea, so he could only kneel on the ground and cry to Lai Mama.
Mama Lai looked at the pitiful appearance of Lai Da who was kneeling on the ground, and said helplessly: "Get up, what does it look like to cry on your knees, this time it is also a lesson for you, so that you can know what you can and what you can't do." ”
Lai Da stood up and said only to Mama Lai's words, Lai Da knew that in this family, Mama Lai was still the backbone, and without Mama Lai, there would be no Lai family today.
Lai Mama said: "You take out the money from the greedy Wang's family, and on the other hand, take out five thousand taels of silver from the family, and tomorrow you will make amends to the old lady with me. ”
Lai Da said to Lai Mama: "It's okay to take out a few thousand taels of silver, but there are still more than 1,300 acres of land in Wangjiatun, don't you want this to be a big head?" ”
Mama Lai looked at Lai Da like a fool, she had never felt that her son was so stupid. Now that even his life is dying, and he still wants more than 1,300 acres of land.
Lai Mama said helplessly to Lai Da: "If you want land, you go and tell the old lady that I have no choice." And those lands are all recorded in the name of the government, in what name do you want them? This kind of thing is not hidden, do you dare to ask for it? ”
Lai Da said: "It is the son's fault that the son's heart is covered by lard, and the son will go to the treasury to withdraw the silver." ”
Mama Lai said: "This (10) is not in a hurry, I will tell you first, when I see the old lady tomorrow, I must cry bitterly and beg for mercy, please forgive the old lady." Now that the old lady is old, she couldn't be kinder, and seeing that you are crying pitifully, she will put this matter down. ”
Lai Dalian said yes again and again, and then said goodbye and went out.
Mama Lai looks at this son, who is still frizzy when he is so old, but he is still a person who can do things, think about the big man in the house, Mama Lai feels that her son is several times stronger than him.
Mama Lai lay on the low couch and thought for a while, since there was no flaw, she would inevitably let her subordinates set the meal.
Besides, after Jia Ke and everyone finished dinner, Jia Zheng had already sent a few people who were familiar with the path.
Jia Ke called Liu Yu to his side and whispered, "You gather all the people in the pro-soldier team, and you have something to do in a while." ”
After a while, the pro-soldier team was concentrated, and Jia Ke said to Liu Hong: "You don't care about things for a while, just take two people at home to guard the silver taels in the warehouse." ”
Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Jia Ke instructed the servant who was familiar with the path: "You take us to Mama Lai's house, and only show me the front door and the back door." ”
Those little guys got Jia Zheng's orders, although they didn't know what the specific thing was, they hurriedly agreed.
So a few small guys led the way in front, and Jia Ke followed closely behind with Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu and the pro-soldier team. Everyone went out of the side door, and soon after walking on Ningrong Street, they came to the door of a big mansion, looking at the scale of this mansion, it was not much smaller than Jia Yu's mansion.
Jia Ke ordered someone to block the front door and the back, and then asked Lin Zhixiao to come forward and call the door.
Lin Zhixiao slapped the knocker hard, and heard someone inside: "When is it, I will come back tomorrow if I have something to report." ”
Lin Zhixiao said loudly: "Ignorant minions, hurry up and open the door, and let Lai Da come out to greet you." ”
When the people inside heard that Jia Ke was coming, they sent someone in to report and open the door at the same time.
Jia Ke entered the door, and went straight to the hall of the middle gate hall without speaking. While walking and looking, sure enough, the carved beams and paintings are very exquisite. Entering the hall, the tables and chairs on such a side are all made of mahogany, and a few sides of red paint are added, which looks shiny. In the center of the courtyard hangs a picture of a long-lasting pine crane, which is a famous handiwork, and the price is very expensive. Where is this a slave house, Jia Ke has seen such a luxurious situation in Jia's mother's room, and the entire Jia Mansion is not as exquisite as this hall.
Jia Ke sat directly on the mahogany chair in the center of the hall, Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu stood on both sides to serve, and the pro-soldiers lined up neatly in the courtyard. The Lai family looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.
Jia Ke looked outside expressionlessly, thinking that he would definitely copy this black nest today, and use the copied money to give the Jia family a few more years of life, and he could also pull out a tumor for the Jia Mansion.
