Chapter 42: Conversations

Jia Mumu's expressionless Fang looked at the account book, as if he didn't care, but his hand grasping the account book was getting harder and harder, and his hands were covered with green tendons.

Mother Jia always thought that Mama Lai and Lai Da were just petty greed, but she didn't expect that they almost moved back to Jiafu. These copied properties are already about the same as the money in Jiafu Gongzhong.

Jia Mu looked at the account book, and her eyes gradually glowed with cold light.

After reading the account book, Jia Mu said to Jia Ke: "You have done a good job in this matter. The things were checked again and then put into the storeroom. ”

Jia Ke agreed to Jia's mother again and again.

Jia Mu then said to Jia Ke: "There are many things in the family now, and there is no reliable person to use. I don't think Lin Zhixiao can stay with you anymore, so let's come back and be a big housekeeper. ”

Jia Ke replied to Jia's mother and said: "Lin Zhixiao is very capable, it is really a condescension to take care of a little Zhuangzi for me, and it is the right time to come back to our house now." ”

Lin Zhixiao listened to Jia's mother and Jia Ke talk about letting him return to Jiafu to be the big housekeeper. Hurriedly knelt on the ground like Jia Mu kowtowed.

Jia Mu said: "You used to be an honest person, and you were also a very good person, and everyone in the house knew about it." But power can make people ambitious, and Lai's family is a lesson from the past, you must take it as a warning. ”

Lin Zhixiao knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Mother Jia and said, "The old lady will never repay my kindness." Our family has worked for the government for several lifetimes, and there has been no mistake, just because my father did not give me any other skills, but only told me that greed for words is the most harmful. Please rest assured, I will do my best to help the second lady take care of the house. ”

Jia Mu said to Jia Ke again: "You did a good job this time, after the handover, I will reward you with three thousand taels of silver from the library." ”

Jia Ke hurriedly excused himself and said, "I don't dare to ask for the old lady's reward again, my father has already rewarded it yesterday." ”

Jia Mu said to him: "His reward is his, and today I will reward you, don't shirk it." ”

Jia Ke knelt down and thanked Jia Mu for the reward.

Jia Ke saw that Jia's mother had nothing to say, so he retired from Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu saw that they were leaving, she told them again: "You must carefully put the account books back into the warehouse, and don't be late when you go on a business trip." ”

Jia Ke and Lin Zhixiao agreed, and then withdrew.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Ke and them exiting the room, she faced the maid who was waiting in the room and said, "You all go out, I want to be quiet." ”

Mother Jia was lying on the bed alone thinking about things, thinking about how Mama Lai became like this, she didn't want to deal with Mama Lai in her heart, but Mama Lai's crime was too big, and so much gold and silver was copied from her home.

The more Jia Mu thought of so much gold and silver, the more angry she became, the income of Jia Mansion has been getting smaller and smaller in recent years, and she is about to lose her income, I am afraid that the role of the Lai family in it is the most important. But how many other housekeepers are innocent? It's just that the Lai family is not as arrogant. Jia Mu thought, since this is the case, let's deal with this matter today.

Jia Mu said outside: "Come and prepare a few dishes for me, two pots of wine." ”

In a few moments, a few delicate dishes and two jugs of wine were already on the table. A few little maids stepped forward to serve Jia's mother for dinner.

Mother Jia didn't eat, but asked the little girl to put these drinks and dishes in a food box, and then asked the little girl to retreat. She carried her own food box and went to Guan Lai's house.

Mama Lai was lying on the bed thinking about things, she felt that this matter was not a big deal, and she was not worried about her life. Suddenly, I saw that it was Jia Mu who came, and she was still carrying a food box in her hand, so she quickly got up from the bed to give a salute.

After Jia Mu sat on the bed, she got up, sat down opposite her, and then laid out the wine and food herself.

Only then did he say to her: "Our master and servant have not talked about it carefully for a long time, you are also an old lady in the Lai family, and you are also pampered and pampered, I am afraid that Yijing does not respect me as before." ”

Mama Lai hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare I have the slightest disrespect for the old lady, if I have such an idea, I will thunder five times in the sky." ”

Jia Mu ignored her curse and swore and continued: "I have always felt that the two of us are suffering together, and we should also share prosperity, so I am very much promoting the two boys of your family, and they are now the great housekeepers of Ning Rong Second Mansion. I'm kind of kind of thin on you. ”

Mama Lai kept kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, listening to Jia Mu speak like this, her tone was a little wrong. couldn't help crying and said: "Old lady, spare the slave this time, this is the slave's confusion, I will definitely change it in the future." ”

Mother Jia watched Mama Lai cry and cry bitterly, she was also sad, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Jia Mu said to her: "Don't cry yet, get up and eat some food, and let's talk again." ”

Mama Lai thought that Mother Jia had relented and let their family go, so she got up and sat opposite Mother Jia, and Mother Jia poured wine for her.

Mama Lai hurriedly signed and said, "How can I let the old lady pour me wine, what kind of title do I have." ”

Jia Mu said: "Pour it for you and drink it, how many years have we been friends, saying that the master and servant are actually sisters." If you hadn't been with me for so many years, I don't know if I would have survived. Pour you this glass of wine, as you should. ”

Mama Lai picked up the wine and drank it, and then had a few mouthfuls of food, and Mother Jia also accompanied her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. After that, the two drank and ate vegetables while chatting about the things of the year, but Mama Lai didn't find out that Mother Jia was just eating vegetables and hadn't drunk a sip of wine (maybe she found out a long time ago, but she didn't say it).

After drinking for thirty years and five flavors, Mama Lai seemed to have let go, and said to Jia's mother: "Miss, we have been here for so many years, and now there is nothing that I can't say, so I will tell you about my heart in the past few years." ”

Mother Jia hadn't heard anyone call her Miss for many years, and now it was Mama Lai who called her Miss, and Mother Jia also felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Enduring the soreness in her heart, Jia Mu nodded and said, "Say it, I'll listen, I've wanted to listen to your heart for a long time." ”

Mama Lai said to Mother Jia: "Miss, don't blame me for saying you, you have raised our two masters, and the two of them may not even be able to defend the city, the eldest master only knows how to eat, drink and play with women, and he doesn't do anything serious at all, plus he has made mistakes before, and there is no hope in this life." The second master is still good, but his vision is too narrow, and his heart is not good, I think this life is like this. ”

Jia Mu nodded and said to her: "What you said is right, their brother is not bad as the second brother, and he can guard the city in this family." Otherwise, when the old man went there, he would not have let the second child live in Rongxi Hall, and let the eldest go out of the house to the courtyard next to him, and the boss would not have been able to live in Rongxi Hall if he made a mistake. ”

Mama Lai said to Mother Jia again: "Miss, who was right and wrong back then, let's not talk about it." Now let's talk about the third generation of this Jia Mansion, I think that Zhu Ge'er is still promising, but he is too young to save the emergency, and when he grows up, I am afraid that Rongguo Mansion will be defeated. As for the eldest brother and Brother Lian, one is at most a martial artist, and he can't become an atmosphere. The other one is probably the same as the old man, that is, the wine-colored man. ”

Mother Jia was already a little angry at her for criticizing the big and small men in the mansion for nothing, but she didn't refute it, because he knew that what Mama Lai said was true, and she had nothing to refute, Mama Lai had already seen through the top and bottom of Rongguo Mansion. But when he heard him say that Jia Ke was just a martial artist, Jia Mu had a mysterious smile on her face. I thought that Mama Lai was a slave after all, and there were some things she couldn't know. She thought that he knew the secrets of Rongguo Mansion, but where did he know, what he knew was only the surface, and the deepest secrets of Rongguo Mansion would never tell her a minion.
