There is no sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, and there is no tune of the nine palaces in the north and south, the friends of Ding Chou Wuyin, as in previous years, opened the temple to worship the ancestors, and also worshiped the portraits of the ancestors of the past dynasties in Jia's mother's room, the only difference is that the scale of extravagance has been slightly reduced, and the incense, carpets, and meals are not as good as before.

Jia's mother chose her own flower hall as a place for the New Year's reunion, men, women and children, four generations in the same hall.

The chief is Jia Mu, accompanied by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, Li Kun and Wang Xifeng are serving, the second seat is Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, followed by Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Jia Qiang. One table in Sanchun, Daiyu and Baochai are serving, one table for relatives Xing's family, accompanied by Xing Xiuyan, one table for relatives Li's family, Li Wen and Li Qi are in the list, Jia Huan and Jia Lan are not in the list.

However, this order was disrupted by Jia's mother, and the ancestor called Sanchun, Daiyu, and Baochai to come and sit with her, and said: "Sister-in-law still let Feng Yatou serve them, and Daiyu and Baochai serve me, the old woman." ”

Wang Xifeng pretended to be aggrieved and sighed: "My sister-in-law and I are unblessed people, and the two sisters have now entered our house, and they are also sisters-in-law." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were waiting next to her smiled reluctantly, but Mother Jia liked her and said with a smile: "This is my fault, you don't have to wait, you all sit, let the girls serve." ”

In addition, there are several side seats, which are the clansmen ordered by Jia's mother to come in for the sake of excitement, including Jia's mother, Lou's family, etc.

Jia Zheng glanced at it: "Why can't Lan'er see it?" ”

Li Kun got up and went back to his father-in-law: "He didn't like the excitement and didn't come." ”

"Why are you so weird!" Jia Zheng spoke: "Call the little guy outside the second gate to invite you, and call Huan'er too." ”

Mrs. Wang's girls Caixia and Caiyun immediately went out to order, and after a while, Jia Lan and Jia Huan came in to take a seat, these two people's poems are remarkable, but Jia Lan looks serious, Jia Huan is a thief with eyebrows and mouse eyes, and he is frizzy.

Jia Zheng has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and his mood has changed greatly, and he is far from being like a few years ago to his children and grandchildren, and he is often beaten and scolded harshly, with an expressionless face: "I heard that Lan'er participated in the children's exam? ”

Li Kun said: "I just passed the government exam, but I haven't passed the hospital exam, and I still have to go through a few years of training." ”

"The godson is good." Jia Zheng rewarded: "In addition to Cong'er, Lan'er can be a rising star." ”

Li Kun replied: "There is also the credit of Brother Cong, their uncle and nephew often discuss knowledge, if he didn't point out, Lan'er would have been early to refer to it." ”

Jia Zheng ordered to reward Jia Cong and Jia Lan, but not Baoyu and Jia Huan, Jia Huan snorted coldly in his heart, Jia Baoyu didn't care, and the chief Mrs. Wang was also quite dissatisfied.

Jia Lan shyly sat down at the seat of her relative Li family, Wang Ren, Xing Zhong, and Li Kun's widowed sister-in-law met in Beijing together, and Li Wen and Li Qi's mother were also widows, Jia Cong looked at him, it seemed that Jia Lan also liked his cousin......

Mrs. Wang put on a smiling face because she was not angry: "A few days ago, I heard that Cong'er asked someone to beat Zhou Rui's family, this is not a big deal, and it can't be put on the stage, but if she has any fault, she should reply to me first and hand it over to me for disposal." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes slowly moved to Jia Cong, and Jia Cong suddenly became the focus.

There are ancestors, Mrs. Wang said politely and tactfully, Mrs. Wang did not say much in the weekday banquet, Mother Jia once said that she was like a piece of wood, containing jokes and love, today's words of Mrs. Wang are tantamount to accusing Jia Cong as an elder, and many people are secretly surprised.

But if you see through it or not, everyone knows it.

That incident, Jia Zheng ignored mundane affairs, I don't know, except for playing chess and talking with Qing Ke, he was not interested in these, and Mandarin Duck and others did not return to Jia's mother, because this matter can be big or small, and there is no need to involve Jia's mother, for fear that she will be unhappy.

Therefore, Jia Mu turned around and muttered to the mandarin duck: "Is there still this matter?" ”

The mandarin duck bent down his tall figure and whispered: "Old lady, this is not a big deal, I thought they could handle it......"

As a fair mandarin duck, she could see that Mrs. Wang was very insidious, forcing Jin Chuan to death, so she made them sad and hurtful.

The mandarin duck had no choice but to reply truthfully, from the great-granddaughter-in-law to Jia's mother, who also had a great-granddaughter-in-law, could tell the difference.

Jia Yu salivated from time to time to look at the mandarin duck water snake-like figure, love and hate, the mandarin duck's goose egg face, shaved shoulders, even Peugeot, full of flesh, but what he hated was that he was unsuccessful in marrying her, and was counterattacked by the mandarin duck, and his majesty swept the ground, this thorn, unless the mandarin duck died, it could not be pulled out.

After a while, he came back to his senses and realized that his younger brother and sister were attacking their son, and Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing sneered.

Jia Cong didn't get up either, and replied: "Zhou Rui's family wants my money to go to the Xifu Silver Treasury, I think it's more appropriate to distribute it to the patriarch, and the slave will deduct it as soon as it changes hands, this is one of them, this point, the third sister who assists the housekeeper, Zhu's sister-in-law, and Baochai know best, but the comprador is still so deductive, not to mention Zhou Rui's family?" ”

"The government has a custom of giving a seat to the elderly and high-ranking subordinates, but the second wife, Zhou Rui's family does not belong to this ranks, this is the second."

"Even if it is to show the kindness of the master, but there are mostly white-eyed wolves, dare to ask the second master, Lai Shangrong, the governor of Zhengzhou in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, have you ever remembered the kindness of our house?"

Jia Zhengyi was excited, and said with a wry smile: "When I returned to Beijing that day, I was not entangled enough, so I borrowed a little from Lai Zhizhou, and he gave me ten taels." ”

"That's the third." Jia Cong put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Why do I have internal worries in Jiafu?" Another external trouble? As the saying goes, the family and everything is prosperous, the family is restless, and foreign affairs are difficult. ”

Mrs. Wang's face was extremely ugly.

Wang Xifeng also knew how powerful Jia Cong was, but he didn't know that he was so powerful.

The first two are to say that the slaves who should be cleaned up must be cleaned up, at this point, Jia's mother is not tolerant of the slaves, and the slaves who gamble and eat alcohol are also resolutely thrown out.

No matter how decent and powerful Zhou Rui's family is, she is still a minion, even if Jia Cong is a concubine, he is also the master, there is no problem.

The problem is Mrs. Wang's face, Jia Cong avoided talking about it, and Mrs. Wang's various behaviors obviously lost people's hearts.

In particular, "the family has a good wife, and the man will not suffer from misfortune", which can be described as a pun, Jia Cong has risen to the top, and the virtuous wife Baochai has indeed helped him manage a lot of family affairs, and there are no worries. As for Jia Zheng, he was dismissed and suffered a catastrophe, which means that he ......

The clever thing is that he does not name names, talks in generalities, and understands with a flexible brain that Jia Cong is ridiculing Mrs. Wang, and in this way, it cannot be said that Jia Cong is rude.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be secretly awe-inspiring, but Jia Cong's rebuttal was not finished, he said, "Brother Qiang, come on." ”

Jia Qiang got up: "Let the old ladies know that Uncle Cong returned the money from selling books and approving the texts to the clan general account, and the accounts in it, as well as some of the dividends from candles, soap and other shops, are all operated by Uncle Cong and the people, and the wives of the accounts can come to check at any time, and there is no deduction." The food on the table today, the utensils for worshipping ancestors, and the curtain cloth pads in each room are supplemented, and a considerable part of them are ...... from Uncle Cong."

Mother Jia's eyes narrowed, Mrs. Wang was obviously out of fashion, and she was so confused.

Jia Cong returned the money to the clan account, taking care of the whole clan, and understanding the righteousness, no one can say that Jia Cong is not, now some people are eating Jia Cong's hard-earned money, and they come to fight back and disgust him, do you still want to be embarrassed?

Jia Cong asked Jia Qiang to come forward, which is to point out this meaning!

Jia Cong's candle and soap shop, the income is also considerable, and it pays taxes legally, there is no problem, and these shops are also added because they can't hide it, the clan has protected him, and it is not unacceptable to repay the clan a little, but Yangzhou bookstore, Suzhou land, no one wants to get involved!

took other money to support people like Mrs. Wang Xifeng who didn't want to see him, and Jia Cong didn't have a bad brain.

Mrs. Wang was originally sick because of the decline of her mother's family, but at this time, she was even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but be resentful, and stared at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng had to come forward with a hard head: "Brother Cong, it's good for you to do this, but Zhou Rui's family is the wife's companion." ”

Jia Cong's eyes were cold, and he sneered at each other: "Sister-in-law Lian, when you put Yinzi money, you accepted all kinds of bribes with the relationship of the Wang family, and the rumors of the mansion, where is the money?!" Have you ever given a point to the clan?! Now, what face do you have to say about me?! Who gave you the face?! It's shameless! ”

Wang Xifeng turned around angrily, and didn't look at Mrs. Wang, she had all the money in her pocket, how could she be willing to take it out? She didn't even give Jia Lian! And what about others!

Wang Xifeng was counterattacked by Jia Cong, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into!

Whoever says it, Jia Cong will go back, he has the demeanor of Zhuge Liang's tongue and the Confucianism, and he is the well-deserved protagonist of today's banquet.
