Chapter 16 A few coffins buried millions of illustrious people, and a handful of loess buried two generations of the Lai family
Lai Da has served as the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion for many years, and he is not stupid, how can he not guess that it is a good thing that Wu Yong has done at home.
But no matter how angry Rao Laida is, he doesn't have a chance to pursue Wu Yong now. Today, the Lai family committed the taboo of the slave bully in front of Jia's mother, and they have deeply offended Jia's mother, and even the eldest lord Jia Yu is not happy with the Lai family, and the Lai family has a sense of wind and rain in one day.
Lai Da had to deal with the mess at home first. He hurriedly packed up more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets and a few boxes of jewelry, and now only the second master Jia Zheng did not see the scene of the Lai family being invited by the steward of the house, Lai Da expected that only by giving gifts to ask Jia Zheng for protection, the Lai family would not be ruined.
Lai Dana made up his mind and was about to go out with jewelry, when he saw Shan Pingren coming to Lai's house with a group of people from a distance.
Shan Pingren triumphantly blocked Lai Da this time, pointed to his nose and scolded:
"Lai Da! I also see how you are still hiding today, the second master has already promised to attack you! ”
These words made Lai Da's heart suddenly cold in half, and he hurriedly took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them over, asking Shan Renren to let him see Jia Zheng alone. The matter has come to this point, Lai Da estimated that the matter of beating Zhan Guang and Shan Renren should also be done by Wu Yong, where is he willing to be blackened.
While the two were talking, Lai Da squinted and saw his son Lai Shangrong returning home drunk, and his heart was finally at ease, so he hurriedly took out two silver ingots and stuffed them to Shan Renren, asking him to wait for the time being, and Lai Da turned around to see Lai Shangrong.
Lai Da hurried to catch up with Lai Shangrong, kicked over, and scolded while splitting his head and covering his face: "You are a waste thing!" How can you be taken by someone at birth? The two dog's feet only know how to drill into the flower street, but they don't know if they can't run! ”
Lai Shangrong was kicked to the ground by Lai Dahan, he didn't know what happened at home, so he was wronged.
"Father, don't you know, I was pulled by Jia Lian's brother Zhao Tianliang yesterday to play, but the black-hearted one made one hundred and fifty taels at the old mother's place, and made someone pour me 'a thousand days drunk', and now I'm still dizzy. It's strange to say, that Zhao Tianliang doesn't know if he has any money..."
Lai Shangrong was already drunk and hazy, and was kicked over by Lai Da again, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Lai Da pressed his teeth and asked someone to drag Lai Shangrong down. One hundred and fifty taels! Such a calamity is because of these one hundred and fifty taels! But why did Jia Lian want to use his brother and Na Wu to harm himself!
Lai Da now suddenly remembered that among the two masked kidnappers outside the city, one of them happened to resemble Jia Lian!
"Could it be? Jia Lian did this, was he instructed by the eldest lord Jia Yu? Want to attack Lai's family? ”
Lai Da was embarrassed, and his anger did not dissipate.
But he didn't know that the Lai family had changed far more than that. and Lai Shangrong's front and back feet, Lai Da stayed outside the city to guard the 30,000 taels of silver also ran back, these people saw Lai Dazai, they all came over and cried: "Master, those two people used sweat medicine, and we were all overturned, and the silver is gone..."
"Poof~"
The messenger looked up and saw that blood was already spilling from Lai's mouth.
The blood clot gushing out of his mouth made Lai Da swallow himself, he wiped his mouth, and he didn't have the strength to punish these people again, and said hoarsely: "It's okay, my branch is not done, wait for me to go see the second master first......"
Shan Pingren outside was waiting in a hurry, and when he saw that Lai Da finally came out, he turned to smile. At this time, he had already heard that the Lai family had attracted the disgust of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, and if Lai Da no longer took out some gold and silver to buy the road, how could he let Lai Da go to see the second master.
……
Three days later, the old grandmother of the Lai family served Rongguofu all her life, but when she was old, she was disgusted by Jia's mother and died of anger. The coffin was carried by several members of the Lai family and buried outside the city.
Jia's mother and the eldest lord Jia Yu also have to turn over the old accounts of the Lai family and investigate the greed of the Lai family. Lai Daneng earned such a family business, where is it clean, but he used the silver in advance in the Jia Zheng Office, and after all, he was saved from being sold by the family after the incident. Lai Da was eventually robbed of his position as chief steward and rushed to farm in Zhuangzi outside the city.
Lai Da worked hard, and when he went to Zhuangzi outside the city, he was already sick, and he lay on the bed for a month, and then he was gone. However, his wife Lai was originally ill, but later she gradually got better, crying and taking care of Lai Da and not mentioning it.
The Lai family has served the Jia family for several generations, but in the end it ended up like this, is it embarrassing?
Not really.
This day is clear. Zhou Rui's family was walking alone in Rongguo's mansion, but unexpectedly, a person came out of the corner, but it was Lian's second master's personal servant Xing'er.
Xing'er said: "Zhou Rui's family, the second master asked you to go with me, be careful, don't let others see it." ”
If Xing'er, a nameless little guy in the past, didn't pay respectful to her aunt, but dared to call her 'Zhou Rui's family', Zhou Rui's family would inevitably scold a few words, but she didn't dare to attack after listening to the rumors this time, so she responded immediately.
There are thousands of houses in Rongguo's mansion, so naturally there will not be people everywhere. Zhou Rui's family followed Xing'er and turned left and right, picking fewer people to walk, but finally arrived at the east courtyard of the garden of the eldest lord Jia Yu.
Jia Lian originally had a residence here, but only after marrying Wang Xifeng, he moved to Rongxi Hall to live, so his original residence was empty, and no one went here.
Zhou Rui's family is here now, she entered the guest hall to take a look, and saw that it was her husband Zhou Rui kneeling under the hall. She didn't dare to stretch out, and saw two people sitting at the top of the head, and the two were talking, as if they didn't see Zhou Rui's family coming in, and ignored it.
These two people are Wu Yong and Jia Lian.
吴用正 says:
This time, the old lady no longer cared about the Lai family, and let the eldest man turn over the old accounts, and fried gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings from the Lai family, worth more than 200,000 taels. There is also a Laifu Tonglaijia garden with a value of more than 100,000. As for the other properties of the Lai family, I am afraid that only the eldest lord knows, and I don't know how much the eldest lord can take this time in addition to the Lai family's confiscation into the public middle school. ”
Wu Yong said, smiled to himself, and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, Mrs. Wang of the second room makes people stare at it." ”
"Humph!" Although Lai Da fell, Jia Lian felt like a fish in his throat every time he thought of his embezzled family wealth, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy. Jia Lian said hatefully: "Lai Dazhen is a human being as his name suggests, just like a mouse!" It's a small one from the Jia family's granary! As many years as a slave, he has been greedy for as many years, and he has made such a big family business! ”
Jia Lian scolded the Lai family a few more words, and then took a look at Zhou Rui and Zhou Rui's family, and said, "Two old goods, do you know why I called you here." ”
Zhou Ruijia's body trembled, and he also knelt down, secretly crying bitter in his heart.
Who did their son-in-law Lin Kailu do things for recently, how could this Zhou Rui's family not know, even the general manager of Lai suddenly said no, where did she dare to be tough in front of Jia Lian, and she couldn't wait to slap her two big ears before.
"Second master, the little ones are the servants of the second room, I really can't guess what you have to send us." Zhou Rui's family replied like this, but he didn't dare to raise his head.
