Chapter 318: Thoughtful
"What's this? It's all counting on you to rescue you, and everything is kept in the Rong Mansion."
On the way to Rongguofu by car, Sister Feng had to say some angry words.
The matter of the two cousins and masters was settled, and it was useless to be anxious, and the matter slowed down, and she couldn't help but think about the silver that was stolen in the Rong Mansion before the Shi family raided the house.
Jia Lian was quite dismissive of this
"That's probably the money reserved for the two uncles and wives to bring people back to their hometowns, and if the second wife is a clear-eyed person, she won't move the money if she collects it."
"Hmph."
Sister Feng snorted lightly, turned her head and stopped talking.
It's not that she's shallow-sighted, it's just that why should she suffer if she is good? They are all relatives, and they can't just contribute to Lian Er alone, and bear this responsibility for no reason.
The car of Allure Mansion is not small, the two horses are parallel to open the road, and Ping'er is also in the carriage at this time, only leaning and half-sitting.
She was thoughtful, and after hearing these words, she couldn't help asking: "Second master, now that the imperial court is raiding the belongings of Shihou Mansion, the Rong Mansion has received the silver, if it is found by the officials, I am afraid that it will be another big disaster."
Sister Feng thought about it, and her original intention to talk to Mrs. Wang about those things immediately faded.
Because the Zhen family in Jiangnan was copied a few years ago, she still had a lot of effort to suppress the tens of thousands of taels of silver in it, not to mention the things under the nose of the imperial court.
This matter is not public, but fortunately, the Shi Hou family did not send things to the Allure Mansion.
In the carriage, Sister Feng only shook her head and said, "Since it was someone from the ancestor's mother's family who sent something, the second wife is not very easy to refuse?"
"It's really not a serious matter, just look at whether the court checks it or not."
Jia Lian nodded first, and then said, "But when I went to the Criminal Department to see my uncle before, what he said was right, as long as he didn't lose power in the imperial court, this kind of crime was only the size of a mustard seed for the Rong Mansion. At present, I helped to store it for just the right time, and spared the two families to go back to Jinling."
Although the things were still with Mrs. Wang, he had already thought of a place to go.
It's just that the people of the Shi family haven't been rescued from Dali Temple yet.
Ping'er said with a smile: "It's good that the second master is sure, I'm afraid that you are a warm-hearted person, thinking of the favor of the two families and Miss Xiangyun, you can't care about anything."
That night, the second master's action could be reported.
Attacking angels, even after the decree has been preached, but if they are ginseng, they don't know how much sin they will be punished.
Jia Lian knew that he was a little impulsive that night, and now when he heard this mention, he closed his eyes and didn't hear what was going on.
After a while, I arrived in front of the main gate of Rongguofu Front Street.
Jia Lian jumped out of the car and was about to enter.
"Stop, this door can't be opened, visitors go to both sides."
A porter came out to block the way.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other doormen sitting in front of the door jumped up and came to cover their mouths one by one.
"Blind your dog's eyes, this is the second master of our house!"
Someone came over again and begged for mercy: "The second master is responsible, this eyeless person is a newcomer, and you didn't come for a while, so you said this foolish thing."
Another doorman came over and asked, "Second Master, are you going to go in here?"
Jia Lian looked at the porter who was covered with his mouth covered and broke out in a cold sweat, frowned and looked away, and then nodded and spoke.
"I'll go directly to the Rongxi Hall, you go to find other people in the mansion to come and talk, don't alarm the old lady."
In the small door on the side, a steward ran out in a panic.
Because of hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "Second master, where is the eldest master?"
"There's no need to worry about him."
Jia Lian waved his hand impatiently.
The main door had been opened, and Jia Lian stepped inside and went straight to the Rongxi Hall.
Now many people in the Rong Mansion know that the historian has been confiscated and understand that something big has happened.
After a while, the chief steward Lin Zhixiao, the second steward Shan Daliang and others all came over, and waited outside the door to listen to the instructions.
Not long after, Jia Rong Jia Qiang of the Eastern Mansion, Mrs. Xing Wang in the Rong Mansion
Madame and Sister Feng came over together.
Seeing that Jia Lian in the Rongxi Hall sat down on the main seat without even the slightest hint of greeting, Mrs. Wang, who entered the door, wanted to speak for a while, and then sat on the side.
The second master, Jia Zheng, was still an official in an outside place, and Jia Lian saw that Ning Rong and the two mansions were now like this, and the corners of his eyes trembled, and his expression was inexplicable, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Therefore, after half a ring, he asked, "The eldest wife and the second wife of the Shi family should know about it, what about the old lady?"
The wives of the two rooms looked at each other and shook their heads.
Then Madame Wang sighed, "I don't know where I am. The old lady is over eighty years old and has enjoyed a lifetime of happiness, if she hears the news of her mother's family and something happens, which of the following juniors can withstand it?"
Jia Lian said, "That's fine. At the moment, they all listen to me, and they can't ask for the will several times, and now in addition to the two uncles, the relatives of the Shi family will also be sold off. Since the Shi family has stored something here in advance, then slowly redeem and buy everyone out, as well as those old servants and maids who follow loyally, don't make people pitiful. My place is small, so I will live here in Rongfu temporarily, and when the day comes, I will send them back to Jinling."
Lin Zhixiao came in with his head down at the door, hesitated a little when he heard this command, and looked up to see Mrs. Wang's face.
"How does this work?"
Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Mrs. Xing said in a hurry, "It's not that I'm sorry for my relatives, it's just that we will redeem this matter and keep it, how taboo is this?" You can't just come out on top."
"That's what the eldest lady said!"
Now that the second master Jia Zheng is not here, Mrs. Wang does not fight with Jia Lian for anything, only sighs,
"How can our family redeem it? When the Zhen family sold it a few years ago, there were countless relatives in his family's Ying Tianfu, but none of them dared to redeem it. It's better to slow down, clean up a place outside and wait, see when the court will be gracious, lend it to the Shi family to live when the time comes, and then return the things, we can count it as worthy."
I had already heard something sent by the Shi family, and now I added another sentence, and the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, was displeased with the displeasure on her face, and turned to the second wife.
"When did the Shi family send something, why don't I know? Don't I be busy taking care of the eldest master, and I can't hide anything from the house?"
Mrs. Wang said, "It's a bad thing you're asking, they—"
"Again!"
Jia Lian was so angry that he wanted to smash the table, and said loudly, "Miss Shi, they are all going to the Teaching Division, so they have been stopping them from speaking in the past few days, and there is still room for a while. If they don't go, no one will rescue them when they see them in trouble, and they won't be ruined to death?"
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang both fell silent.
Sister Feng came to persuade at this time: "It is indeed the same thing, even if it is rescued at that time, maybe it will be difficult for people to look like people. If the old lady asks about it one day, she will have to worry about it, and we will not be able to talk."
One with a red face and the other with a white face, Mrs. Xing looked at Sister Feng who came to persuade her and was disgusted.
Is it true that these people and things are not on your side?
It's just that now that their husband and wife are outside, Mrs. Xing is not good at talking.
Where did Jia Lian care so much, and said, "Butler, you only listen to me, make sure you're okay, follow the people from my place to investigate, and redeem them!"
Lin Zhixiao wiped his cold sweat and straightened up, and said that he was busy.
Jia Lian looked at the people in the hall again, shook his head and said, "Now that I am still living in the Rong Mansion temporarily, the two families of them are only lonely and widowed, what are you afraid of? If you have something to do, just look for it!"
After speaking, Jia Lian walked inside first, and Ping'er had already cleaned up the place behind the big shadow wall inside.
Seeing this, the people had different expressions on their faces, and they all slowly withdrew from the Rongxi Hall.
Sister Feng followed, first found Mrs. Xing, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cong, Brother Cong is now old enough to take care of herself. Knowing that my wife was in a difficult situation, I as a sister-in-law couldn't help but share some of it, so I invited someone to say hello to the Guozi Prison, and I just sent Brother Cong to study."
Mrs. Xing because of herself
has nothing to do, and has already transferred Jia Cong to his name to be raised, so that he can rely on it in the future.
Now when I hear this, I am naturally happy.
Sister Feng and Mrs. Xing said this, and then hurriedly followed Mrs. Wang, went to the East Cross Courtyard, and took out a letter to report the good news.
"Baoyu's matter has been waiting for these days, and now he has finally waited for the vacancy of the dragon forbidden lieutenant in the palace, and Lian Er finally helped to get it, which is also his intention to be an elder brother."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't move anymore, and hurriedly took over the paperwork on the spot.
After taking a closer look, it is indeed a shift that can be taken seriously, and I can't help but be overjoyed.
"It's really blessed by the ancestors, and now it's good for him to take care of it!"
Mrs. Wang didn't want to let go, so she took it on the spot and said, "This really makes people not know how to thank them. It's not that I'm not close to the Shi family, it's just that Lian Er has to do it in such a hurry, and he can't wait to rescue people back to Jinling tomorrow, and he will inevitably cause trouble. I helped their family collect things before, but my heart still can't get to the ground."
Sister Feng said, "What Mrs. said is also right, but he must have some ideas, and I can't persuade him anymore."
……
In the Fengjie Courtyard of the North and South Wide Road, Jia Lian came back here after meeting Jia's mother.
Sister Feng came from the east courtyard, entered the door, and saw Ping'er leading a few rough envoys to call the maids to arrange.
After saying a few words according to her thoughts, Sister Feng entered the hall again and turned into the east wing. Jia Lian is doing official business somewhere, and the Fengxin residence outside is only used for entertaining guests.
"I went to make up a lot, and now the second wife is willing to respond to those things, and the Shi family's belongings are also taken out and ransomed for Lin Zhixiao."
Sister Feng went to Jia Lian's side and snuggled up, saw that he stopped writing and inking, and then said, "There are also things about Baoyu and Brother Cong, I also said it."
"These two should have been made sooner."
Jia Lian nodded and said, "When they come out, tell them that they just need to help the court do things honestly and quietly, and don't care about anything else, so there won't be too many mistakes."
That's what he did back then.
It is said that people have good and bad luck, and the historian disappeared for a while.
If something happens in his family, and Brother Baoyu Cong has another family and a business, he can be regarded as the eldest brother who has a responsibility and is worthy of them.
Sister Feng said, "Take care of this heart, both of them are settled, why don't you care about Brother Huan'er?"
"Jia Huan?"
Jia Lian snorted coldly: "I just don't like it, tell him to ask for more blessings!"
Sister Feng walked around to Jia Lian's other side, crossed her shoulders and smiled, "I thought you didn't like Baoyu the most, but you guessed wrong?"
"In the end, Baoyu is also a rare kind-hearted person in the Jia family, although people don't use some ......."
After saying a few words, Ping'er came over to talk about things, and Sister Feng answered the call, just changed her clothes and went to see the old lady with Ping'er.
When they went out, Jia Lian was still doing official business here.
