Chapter 14 Jia Mu deigned to ascend to the Lai Mansion, and the sentence was five hundred taels
Wu Yong said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that your family was an official, how could Master Ben deign to come to a place like yours." In other words, what about the soon-to-be-appointed Lai in your family, you can introduce me to it. ”
"You want to see, I still want to see it..."The housekeeper of the Lai family scolded in his heart, so he had to expose the topic, and seeing that Wu Yong had no intention of leaving, he arranged for him to settle in Lai's mansion.
At night, the second master of Rongguo Mansion Lian's personal servant Xing'er arrived at Lai's Mansion. Lai Fuzhong is killing pigs and sheep behind closed doors, so it is not lively. Obviously, the housekeeper of the Lai family listened to Wu Yong's words and wanted to hold Mama Lai's birthday and Lai Shangrong's banquet together.
Xing'er had already been instructed by Wu Yong to come over at this time, and he called the people in Lai's Mansion to lead the way and found Wu Yong, who was sitting in Lai's Mansion.
Wu Yong saw Xing'er coming, pulled him aside, and whispered a few words, and at the same time, Lai Da's five hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets had already been handed over.
"I'm still going to keep an eye on it here, you give the five hundred taels of silver tickets to the second master, and ask him to give it to Mrs. Xing as soon as possible. You can keep the remaining fifty taels of silver tickets by yourself, and the benefits will be indispensable to yours. ”
Xing'er was overjoyed, he couldn't understand what the second master and Wu Yong were busy with these days, but the benefits were real, so he agreed and returned to Rongguo Mansion with a silver ticket.
Wu Yong saw that Xing'er was gone, and he put down his agitated mood a little, plus these silver tickets, Jia Lian must be able to say that Mrs. Xing was moved, so the affairs of the Lai family would be clear tomorrow!
What is a mere 500 taels of silver, he not only wants to take 30,000 taels from the Lai family, but also makes the Lai family down!
Overnight, Lai Da was running outside the city, because the city gate was closed, he and the Lai family temporarily cut off contact, unaware that his mansion had been called Wu Yong's leading, and he was busy holding a banquet that should no longer be held.
And early on the second day, Wu used the excuse that he had a way in Rongguo Mansion and asked the Lai family steward to stay in the mansion, but he led someone to Rongguo Mansion to invite Jia's mother.
Wu Yong first flattered Jia's mother with a clever tongue, and then brought out Lai Mama, who had served the old man, and finally said that Jia's mother was moved.
Mother Jia was also a little ashamed because she originally promised Lai Da, but in the end she did not find an official for the Lai family, so she gave Lai Mama face and took the first two brothers to Lai's house to celebrate her birthday.
The eldest lord Jia Yu was too lazy to go, but Wu Yong sent someone to say that the Lai family had some filial piety, so he also followed. However, the second old man Jia was busy with the Ministry of Labor, so he did not come to Lai's house.
Jia's mother came to the door, Lai's house set off firecrackers, Lai's mother was waiting at the door, she listened to Wu Yong's rumors, and only thought that her grandson had become an official, and even Jia's mother came to congratulate.
When Mama Lai saw Mother Jia get off the sedan chair, she greeted her with a smile and said, "The old slave has asked Mrs. for peace, I originally said that I would go to the house to invite myself, but my legs and feet are really a little unfavorable." ”
Mother Jia also smiled and helped Mama Lai up, and said: "It's okay, the old mama should also pay attention to her own body, we have worked hard all our lives, and we will never be offended again when we are old." ”
Although Jia's mother is also old, her two sons are in the prime of life, flattering her to live a high-ranking old lady's life on weekdays, and her spirit is much stronger than that of Mama Lai.
Mother Jia looked around, and saw that the Lai family was just such a scenery for Mama Lai's birthday, she couldn't help but feel a little disliked, so she only hid it in her heart, and said suspiciously: "Is Lai everyone's here?" She took leave in the inner house yesterday, why didn't she see her? ”
Mama Lai didn't know what Mother Jia was thinking, so she still laughed and said, "Madame doesn't need to pay attention to her, she didn't know what she was crazy about last night, and she made trouble for half the night, so that she didn't get sick yet." ”
Saying that, Mama Lai welcomed Jia's mother and her party into the house and sat down behind the screen of the banquet.
Hearing that Lai's family was sick, Jia's mother didn't mention it anymore, so as not to be contaminated, and only said that Lai's family would rest for a good life.
When Mama Lai sat down to talk with Mother Jia, the troupe invited by the Lai family had already come on the stage, babbling and singing, and the people of the Lai family also began to serve food. The Lai family has served Rongguo Mansion for many years, and they are familiar with the way, and the dishes are naturally shabby, and some dishes are not common in Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, Mama Lai not only didn't know that her grandson had been kidnapped by gangsters, but she was also full of joy thinking that her grandson had won the office, so she just smiled and talked to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and flattered her, after all, I heard that her grandson's official position relied on the second master Jia Zheng.
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang knew that Lai Shangrong's official had been taken by someone else, and seeing Lai Mama behaving like this, the two couldn't help but look weird, but they only felt that Lai Mama didn't look like a longevity person.
The Lai family is now in charge of Mama Lai, because she was busy talking to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, Jia Yu on the side inevitably received cold treatment. He found that Wu Yong's filial piety was delayed, and Mama Lai and the second room got along warmly, and his brows furrowed.
At this moment, just one sentence is worth five hundred taels! - Mrs. Xing sat next to Jia Yu, and when she saw that Jia Yu was impatient on her face, she touched the silver ticket in her sleeve, strengthened her courage, and whispered a sentence that Jia Lian asked her to say in the morning:
"Master, yesterday the second room sent Shan Pingren and Wu Yong to Lai's family, I don't know what the reason is?"
This sentence is a doubt, but in fact, it is indeed saying that the Lai family has already invested in a second house. Because Wu Yong concealed the news and transferred Lai Da, this misunderstanding was finally created.
When Mrs. Xing and Jia Yu were whispering, Mama Lai had already seen it, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xing and the eldest master are talking very considerately, the old lady is saying that everyone wants to carry out the drinking order, and you two can't be left behind." ”
In the Rongguo Mansion, it is common for the master's family to drink orders, and Jia Baoyu, who is still young, is clamoring to play in Jia's mother's arms, and after winning it, he asks Jia's mother for a reward.
"Humph!"
Everyone is safe, but this cold snort is from Jia Yu, he saw today's posture, and listened to Mrs. Xing's provocation, he had to think that the Lai family had already invested in the second room, otherwise the official plot failed, how could Mama Lai still be so eager for Mrs. Wang?
Seeing that the banquet was cold for a while, Jia Yu still sneered: "Mother, beware of being squinted by this flying flower wine order, otherwise you don't even know that the chief steward appointed by yourself is disobedient..."
"You bastard, you are talking nonsense!" Jia Mu hugged Jia Baoyu, who was shocked by Jia He, and scolded when she opened her mouth.
Jia Yu is not a filial son Jia Zheng, and he has long been tired of Jia's mother's partiality. Now that the Lai family has invested in a second house, what face does he give the Lai family? He is going to give Jia Mu eye medicine in person!
Mother Jia scolded Jia Yu a few words, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and carefully coaxed Baoyu who was shrunk in her arms before saying to Mama Lai: "We are happy with ourselves, don't let that bastard disturb your birthday today." ”
Mama Lai didn't know why Jia Yu had a sudden seizure, she was confused, and when she saw Jia Mu say this, she agreed with a smile, and thought about it again in her heart. Yes, this year, I just happened to celebrate my birthday on the frost day, but I clashed with my grandson's banquet.
Poor Mama Lai still doesn't know that Lai Shangrong has become an official, and after listening to Mother Jia's words, she is still grateful to avoid the table, and salutes Mother Jia:
"It's really a tired lady, and I still remember the birthdays of people like me."
Mother Jia laughed embarrassedly and asked Mama Lai to take a seat.
If it weren't for the loss of the official she had promised the Lai family earlier, how could she deign to come to celebrate Mama Lai's birthday. It is also because of this that Jia Mu is now in a weak heart and does not mention the failure of Lai Shangrong's official scheme.
After a while, the gate of Lai's Mansion was lively again, there were guests coming, more firecrackers than when Jia Mu came over, and it seemed that there were many people coming.
Jia Mu listened to the excitement, and sent the mandarin ducks who served by her side to see who was coming.
