Chapter 16: The White Heat
Jia's mother is a relatively enlightened old man, so that Sanchun can see the clues when they study together, but she dotes on Jia Baoyu too much, causing Jia Baoyu's imbecility and even incompetence.
In other words, Jia's mother is an out-and-out hedonist, and often supports Jia pardon and Jia Zheng at banquets, which can be said to be for the sake of her grandchildren, but it can also be said to be for Jia's mother's own enjoyment. Aside from Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are also the most favored by her.
Jia's mother was born in the Hou family of the Shi family, and the ancestor of the Shi family was the Baoling Hou Shangshuling, the Baoling Hou, the Marquis, the Shangshu Ling, equivalent to the prime minister, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once held this position. At present, the historians have Baoling Marquis Shi Nai, Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, a double marquis, and they are prominent. Therefore, Jia's mother and Shi Xiangyun are the daughters of the Houmen and the ladies of the family, and from the bottom of their hearts, Jia's mother discriminates and rejects Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who were born to slaves, and also has the intention of shielding Wang Xifeng, but she just doesn't say it.
In front of Jia Cong, a play directed and acted by himself, how many girls outside the door heard it, and Sanchun, Li Kun, Dai, and Hai saw it before, and it was inevitable that it would spread all over Xifu, and Jia Cong was by no means aggressive and unreasonable, but step by step and reasonable. Jia's mother has long been unable to stay out of the matter, and must come up with a judgment, and this situation is actually created by the eight-year-old concubine Jia Cong, Jia's mother's indecisiveness and complicated mood can be imagined.
However, she is also the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and she ordered the mandarin duck to pass Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to testify to see if the monthly silver is delayed? These two are Jia Zheng's concubines, Aunt Zhao is ridiculous and has no brains, and Aunt Zhou is doing her duty.
……
Aunt Zhao is dressed more brightly, her person is a family slave, the mandarin duck is also a family slave, her parents are Jiafu slaves, Aunt Zhao came in to ask for peace, she knelt down, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and cried: "Old lady, I can testify, Grandma Lian is very majestic, not only delaying the schedule of the monthly silver distribution, but also embezzling the official silver, putting the money in the seal, the old lady does not believe it, you can also ask other people." ”
Aunt Zhou saw the vicious eyes handed over by Wang Xifeng, and her heart was awe-inspiring, and she only said: "I don't know if it is misappropriated or not, but it is true that the time of the monthly order is delayed." ”
Aunt Zhao's IQ is not enough, and she doesn't know that she was used as a gunman by the old woman in Daguanyuan, Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. Wang are all very disgusted with her, Jia Cong doesn't have much hope for Aunt Zhao, but just adds a fire, and the brainless Aunt Zhao is still spitting nonsense, and is scolded by Mrs. Wang and retreats, and Aunt Zhou also retreats.
"Okay, it's not okay to pass the buck in this matter, there should be a game, don't worry, I won't favor anyone." Mother Jia is a little tired, but if she goes on like this, she will definitely favor Wang Xifeng.
"Thank you for the kindness of the ancestors, and the ancestors will see it." Wang Xifeng saluted, turned around, hid his contempt and contempt for his brother-in-law, and smiled like a flower: "Ancestor, I don't complain about Brother Cong, I just ask the ancestor to judge." ”
Is that the end of it? Then I'll waste my efforts!
Jia Cong smiled at the corner of his mouth, changed the topic, and said worriedly: "Old lady Mingjian, however, those three people who borrowed Yinzi money, unlike other families, would rather fight to the death, saying that they want to write a paper and sue Lian's sister-in-law......"
"What?" If he is sued, what kind of faceless housekeeper does Wang Xifeng have? Isn't the Jia family's good reputation tarnished? Jia Mu changed color and said, "Where to sue?" ”
"Shuntianfu." Jia Cong replied.
Why is it not the Xicheng Metropolitan Procuratorate but the Shuncheonfu? Jia Cong has learned in detail that Wang Xifeng forced Second Sister You to death, and one of the steps was written and bribed the officials of Xicheng Hall, how could he sue there? And the latter is different, Shuntianfu is a three-grade yamen, two levels larger than the general prefect, holding a silver seal, and a provincial governor, Fu Tongzun, Shuntianfu Yin is concurrently served by the six department officials, adjutants, Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng can cover the sky with one hand? Not necessarily.
There is another layer, do Luo Gaocai and the three of them really dare to sue? Of course I don't dare, this is Jia Cong's strategy, borrowing the three of them to use the human contract, at this time it is blackmail, in order to firstly let Jia's mother have to retreat, and secondly, let Luo Gaocai and the three get a part of the compensation, and the cooperation is win-win.
That is to say, Jia Cong focused his attack on Wang Xifeng, creating such an atmosphere: just because of Wang Xifeng, the so-called reputation of Jiafu is in danger of stinking from the inside to the outside. The scandal of the royal family has never been spread out, because it will shake their prestige and reputation, and no matter how dirty and smelly things are, they must be covered with vigor to cover them so that they are moldy and rotten, and the same is true for the noble family.
What's more, Jia Yuanchun, the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion, has already entered the palace, how can the "clear reputation" of the Jia family not affect Jia Yuanchun's canonization? Seeing the subtle knowledge, can Jia Mu still lean towards Wang Xifeng?
The last layer lies in Jia Cong himself, he can only bite to death because he is dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng's deduction of him, so he does this, even if Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang suspect that this matter is led by him, but who knows the truth? Wang Xifeng's power and backstage are in hand, how many things are still hidden, does Mrs. Jia Mu Wang know?
……
"It's hard to mess with the people! It's hard to mess with the people! Mother Jia spoke very quickly: "Feng girl, return the overcharged profits and silver to Diao Min, it's not that you can't stand them, I'm not afraid of the hospital, will the government be afraid of Shuntianfu?" It's just that this matter can't be spread! It must not be passed on! ”
"Old lady......" Wang Xifeng's face turned pale, Mother Jia confirmed that she had secretly put the money in Yinzi?
"Old lady, I'll take the Feng girl back first." Mrs. Xing said: "Cong'er is not at fault. ”
"Old lady, Feng Yatou is in charge of my house, I have the responsibility of negligence, the old lady will punish me together." Madame Wang got up.
Mrs. Wang only said that she only had "the responsibility of negligence", obviously, she also saw that the situation was not good, and she didn't want to speak for Wang Xifeng, and wanted to understand the true thoughts of her mother-in-law Mrs. Xing, aunt and aunt Mrs. Wang.
Jia Cong glanced at Mrs. Wang slightly, and then retracted her gaze, this Mrs. Wang is much stronger than Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng found an excuse to send Jia Lian's roommate, and was afraid that others would think that he was jealous, so he wanted to cover up, so he forced his henchman Ping'er to make a room for Jia Lian, and there were still a specified number of times of sex every year.
How did Madame Wang do it? She tolerated Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, and took retreat as advance and wanted to capture the old people.
In feudal society, women are jealous, childless, talkative, sick, unfilial, etc., and are listed in the seven articles.
Wang Xifeng has committed several "seven outs", so the ending is "one from two to three people, crying to Jinling and mourning".
And Mrs. Wang is much smarter than her nephew Queen Xifeng, and she tolerates the two aunts of Zhao and Zhou, not to mention, Aunt Zhao and her girl Caiyun partner to steal things, Mrs. Wang "turns a blind eye", and Mrs. Wang usually eats fasting and recites Buddha, is kind and kind, and pretends to be too good!
Once Jia Baoyu's reputation was involved, Mrs. Wang showed her fangs, and took advantage of the restraint of etiquette on women, forcing Jin Chuan to jump into the well with a few words, and Lao Wang heard it and shed hypocritical tears.
Si'er said that he had the same birthday as Baoyu, and he wanted to be a husband and wife on the same birthday, and was driven away by Lao Wang, Qingwen did not stick to the rice water for four or five days, and when she was driven out, she was killed, Fang Guan and others were given to the nunnery by Lao Wang's "kindness and generosity", "The pretty girl hugged the concubine, and the beauty and beauty returned to the water moon." What about the real insider? The old nun will only turn Fang Guan and the others into miscellaneous laborers......
Of course, objectively speaking, Qingwen and Fang Guan have their own places to die, and most women with personalities are not tolerated in this era, especially slaves with personalities.
Mrs. Wang's disguises, in terms of the requirements for women in the feudal era, are not faulty, this is where she is smarter than Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's reputation is not good, now the niece in the east window incident, although Mrs. Wang has to stand up, but she can't wait to kick Wang Xifeng away and help me run the house? Or disgrace me? At the same time, for the nephew Jia Cong who provoked the incident, the concubine also wants to compete? Sister-in-law Mrs. Xing can't sit still? Whether Jia Cong was wronged or not, she didn't want to think about it, and she had to start from her own interests......
……
The money python forging costume is not dazzling when worn on Mrs. Wang's body, it looks noble, decent, and generous, Jia Mu saw the pair of concubines get up, with different thoughts, and muttered: "This matter, Feng girl doesn't need to say it, but it also involves the face of the Wang family, this family is yours...... Those three Diao people are nothing more than a claim, just take some silver and send it away. Laiwang couple, I will personally interrogate, according to what Cong'er said, no one is allowed to interfere, as for whether Feng Yatou wants to be in charge......"
Mother Jia glanced at Wang Xifeng, who never forgot to please her, and it was difficult to decide, so she clapped and said: "Okay, Feng Yatou is not in good health, go back to the hospital first, and I will still come to ask for peace sooner or later, I will answer you if I understand this matter, and I will give you an answer, Cong'er ......"
Such a complex problem has never been imagined to be given to her by Jia Cong, who is more unbearable than Jia Huan! And this problem, she can't solve it with a hammer! Now the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, Jia and Shi, have Lu but no power, the Jia regime is in the Ministry of Industry, it is not worth much, the Xue family has not been an official for a long time, but the prince of the Wang family, Teng, is the pillar of the nine provinces with the Jingying Festival...... Can you not consider the Wang family? Without Wang Xifeng by his side, the Laiwang couple who are destined to be thrown out will tell the truth...... Can the reputation of the Jia family not affect Yuanchun in the palace?
The old ancestor waved his hand and said: "That's it, Cong'er, if you are really wronged, I will not sit idly by, go down, listen to your Lao Tzu and your mother, and study hard." ”
"The grandson is grateful to the old lady for not punishing." Jia Cong took a long look, took a few steps back, lifted the curtain, and walked out leisurely and calmly.
Under the porch of the door, Amber, Ping'er, Feng'er, Jin Chuan, Caixia...... A large group of girls are waiting for the master, Wang Xifeng stepped down the bluestone steps, the jade hand slightly supported the temples, the red sprinkled flower crepe skirt set off her graceful and exquisite posture, at a glance, golden Yingluo, phoenix hairpin, stone blue and silver mouse gown, between slight movements, suddenly accompanied by the violent ups and downs of the chest, Ping'er, Feng'er held on, and said urgently: "Grandma......"
Mrs. Wang's face was a little ugly.
Mrs. Xing raised her eyebrows, a fat face, looking up and down, looking left and right, all of them were proud, overflowing with words, she felt that Bei'er had face and face: a good son was trained by himself, and a bad daughter-in-law didn't help me run the house.
On the other hand, Jia Cong has neither a triumphant and victorious expression, nor much worry, these things, to him, seem to be not worth mentioning, not enough to worry about, can the well frog watch the sky? Bird's nest knows the bird? It was the little servant Sun Fu, who followed the master complacently, and slowly walked out the back door, leaving them with a chic silhouette.
……
The things in front are all drizzle and breeze, this time it is a violent storm, the white-hot house fight between the little brother-in-law Jia Cong and the sister-in-law Wang Xifeng swept the Rongguo Mansion, and many people once again saw the means of Cong Ye, and even the Ning Guofu in the east also had some rumors.
Many people are waiting, waiting for the results to be revealed and the answers to be known.
