Chapter 197: Training wives and concubines and slaves
Jia Cong walked into the courtyard in an official robe, the spotless two-beam black gauze hat that was originally away from home, because of the harsh environment of the Beijing Division, it has been contaminated with dust, but the soap-colored pair of boots is still clean, Xiangling came in and took off his hat for the table, Qingwen wanted to take off his six-grade heron silk tonic official uniform, Jia Cong waved his hand: "No need, I'll take it off later." β
Look at him showing his hair pulled up, Qingwen muttered a few words, Ying'er fetched water to clean it again, Jia Cong wiped her face casually, Qingwen took advantage of the effort to hang the silk scarf, and whispered to Ying'er: "I'm not happy, there are several things." β
"What about Sun Fu? Where's your grandmother? Jia Cong's face was a little unsightly.
"Oh...... Sun Fu didn't go with his grandfather today, but the eldest master called him and a few people from East Road to go to the outskirts of the city to see the land. Qingwen looked back.
"Look at the ground?" Jia Cong's face darkened: "What are you looking at?" At this time, there was no Zhuangzi in Dongfu for a long time, and the dozen or so before were not in Heishan Village, Liaodong? β
Wujin filial piety into Beijing to send things, back and forth have to go back and forth for a few months, need to go out of the customs, and Wujin filial piety originally belonged to the head of the East Zhuang, many Zhuangzi in the West Mansion, also almost next to each other, so a lot of food Lu Zhuangzi in Jiafu is actually in Liaoning Montenegro, of course, it is not excluded that there are fields in the suburbs of Beijing, but every inch of land in the suburbs of Beijing is gold, and it can only be a small amount.
"You're too busy with business to know these things." Qingwen held Jia Cong's shoulders and kneaded: "You have become the master of Jinshi, about a month or so, the neighbors, the relatives and the deceased, especially the relatives of some slaves, are originally private households, they have to pay taxes, and they have invested the land in your name, and they have to pay a little silver to the lord during the New Year's Festival, and the lord agreed to ......"
When Jia Cong heard this, he was so angry that he almost got up on the case, but he was still determined, and said in an extremely low voice: "How many acres are there?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Are you all dead? What's the use of me raising you?! β
It was the first time for the third daughter to hear Jia Cong speak so seriously, especially Ying'er, the scene was extremely quiet, Ying'er stopped holding the water to the threshold, in a dilemma, I don't know what to do.
Xiangling was the first to kneel down, Qingwen didn't have the heart to make fun of her, Lin Hongyu only watered the flowers outside the window, pretending not to see.
As soon as Qingwen's hands were loosened, Jia Cong slapped the table hard, the cup jumped, the purple clay pot actually rolled down, and the warm water soaked into Xiangling's green skirt, Jia Cong sneered: "Do you still want to pretend to be dead?" β
Qingwen lowered her eyebrows and said: "I don't know, I thought it was a trivial matter, they all said that the master of the people and the master of the Jinshi, there will be yeoman farmers to invest in the land." β
Jia Cong looked at Ying'er coldly, and Ying'er hurriedly said: "Grandma went to the second wife's room, Uncle Xue killed someone, and the mother's wife and grandmother knew about it." Early in the morning, news came that my uncle had passed away in Shunyi...... The second wife felt distressed, and her grandmother ordered someone to take the medicine, and the ...... passed."
After speaking, Ying'er ran away with a smoke, Jia Cong looked at Qingwen's hands cramped and uneasy, and said lightly: "What do you usually do, can't you say?" Will it be said? Whose relatives are they? β
"Wang Shanbao's family has several rooms." Qingwen tilted her head and wanted to leave: "When he comes back, you ask him." β
At this time, there was the sound of Sun Fu, Long Aotian and Lin Hongyu talking outside the door, but they didn't dare to come in, Jia Cong said: "Qingwen, don't raise your nails so long in the future, and then take my words as the wind in your ears, no one will want to live a good life!" β
Qingwen wiped her tears aggrievedly, broke the curtain and left, Jia Cong should not be able to see it, and drank coldly: "Sun Fu, get in!" β
Sun Fu knelt down outside the door of the inner room and touched the account book in his arms: "Master Cong, this is the account, there are four or five hundred acres, and the small ones dare not hide it......"
Jia Cong got up and walked over, took the account book, didn't look at it, and shook Sun Fu's face: "I gave you face, didn't I?" From time to time, I will reward you with dozens of taels, are you too little? Lao Tzu has a dog, and he is better than you! The dog will at least snort! You went to get money behind my back without making a sound? When I'm the second master over there, I'm so fooled? When you enter the official office in the coming day, are you going to lose my two-beam black gauze hat too? Yes? β
Sun Fu could only see the tips of his master's boots, kowtowing without falling, and the brick and stone floors were stained with blood in his head, "The little one doesn't dare!" The eldest lord is the father...... Xiao thought, his words, Cong Ye can't disobey it......"
"These are two different things!" Jia Cong roared, "Are you deaf? I mean, you're going to get back to me first! Go down! Call Long Aotian in! β
Xiangling also took the opportunity to run out in advance, and a room of maids whispered outside the door with palpitations.
Long Aotian came in and knelt down again, Jia Cong roared so much that his throat was hoarse, and he wanted to drink tea to moisten his tongue, but he found that the teapot was overturned, or Lin Hongyu was bold, and came in to serve tea and pour water, Jia Cong panted: "Did Sun Fu have any abnormal behavior?" β
"Hui Master, no, the little one will be protected by his life." Long Aotian patted his chest and said.
Jia Cong was silent, Dashun is not the former Ming, all the gentry pay grain and errands, if they continue to annex land, what is the crime of not giving themselves a crime? Jia Cong's murderous intent towards Jia Yu is getting stronger and stronger.
However, in feudal society, not to mention that the son killed his father, even if the son sued his parents and grandparents, it was a big crime and a violation of etiquette, so unless this thing was leaky, Jia Cong couldn't do it, otherwise it would be self-destruction of the Great Wall.
Moreover, as soon as Wang Ziteng died, the protΓ©gΓ©s and factions of the four major families were absolutely scattered, the walls were pushed by everyone, political struggles, others were eager to die, Wang Ziteng supported King Qin again, and now that he has fallen, King Yu and Prince Zhongshun impeached him and his faction, it is conceivable that how could the Jia family commit crimes against the wind at this time! What's more, Jia Zheng is afraid that he has already received the stolen money from the Zhen family!
Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.
"There will be a next time, Sun Fu, don't want to live! Sweep the floor before you go! "Jia Cong still didn't execute Sun Fu, after all, this person was easy to use.
"What's going on?" Xue Baochai felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered the door, and there were also people moving furniture in the aisle.
Xue Baochai personally came in and cleaned up the cups and plates, the eye circles were clear and there were signs of redness and swelling, Jia Cong saw that many mudworms brought people to move the bed frame in, and when they went out, they were speechless for a long time, Xue Baochai wanted to speak and stopped, and only said for a long time: "My brother has entered the prison of the Criminal Department, and the first trial has been set, I want to beg you......"
"What do you tell me to beg?" Jia Cong was indifferent: "At this time, even if I kneel down to Captain Qiu, your brother won't be able to live, it's ...... he wants to die."
Putting down the teacup, Jia Cong went to the study by himself.
Xue Baochai's face turned pale, his body shook, and he was supported by Ying'er, "Ying'er, hurry, give me a life suit for Liupin'an." β
On this day, Jia Cong's courtyard was very quiet, he quietly watched the Four Books and Five Classics under the study window, the regular examination of the Hanlin Academy, and the curse of the Eight Strands of Wen could not be shaken off. After about half an hour, Xue Baochai dressed in big makeup, came in without saying a word, and knelt down.
Jia Cong turned a blind eye.
Outside the door, outside the window, Qingwen, Xiangling, Ying'er, and many girls were all kneeling under the steps.
Sun Fu, Long Aotian, Duohun Worm and others knelt outside the second gate.
After another half an hour, Jia Cong still didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages.
There was such a big event in the courtyard of Zhuang Yuanlang, and all of a sudden the news spread all over Jiafu, this cultivator was really powerful, and he didn't agree with him, and his wife also knelt.
