Ping'er thought for a while, and then said: "Grandma, it's hard to say about the kitchen outside, there is a sister-in-law Liu in the small kitchen in the garden, but if you have enough money, you can make everything you want to eat." Keep it clean and free of doping. After a pause, he said: "When I turned around, I sent Feng'er to say that I wanted to eat, but no one paid attention to it." ”

Wang Xifeng saw that Ping'er was thoughtful, so he bowed his head.

After eating tea, Ping'er said again: "Grandma, Miss Bao's place, I always have to go there." ”

Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "Don't worry, everyone is in Wuyuan this time, and I don't have to talk much even if I go." ”

Needless to say at the moment, Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia talked back, and Mother Jia was also angry enough, and when she heard about Mrs. Wang's disposal methods, she didn't say much.

Poor Aunt Zhao was called by Wang Xifeng again, fined the monthly silver, was slapped, and had to kneel in the patio to make rules.

The truth was revealed, and the servants and others despised Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao had always jumped up and down with joy, and she was not less punished by her wife, and it was not unusual to do something that had no face, because it was the maid and the mother-in-law who laughed at it in private for a long time, so they took pity on the three girls to explore the spring.

The poor three girls were dragged down by Aunt Zhao, and they were comforted by Yingchun and Xichun at the next day, and then Daiyu and Xiangyun came to persuade them, but the little girl was depressed, and after crying, she was simply locked up in Qiushuangzhai and couldn't come out.

This is also a helpless move, the biological mother does such a shameless thing, if Tanchun comes forward to plead for mercy? On the one hand, he is his mother-in-law, and on the other hand, he is his biological mother, and he really doesn't know what to do when he is sandwiched between them, so he simply avoids it.

When dinner was approaching, Wang Xifeng came to Wuyuan. It happened that the eldest grandmother Li Kun had just seen Baochai when she returned, and Wang Xifeng talked to Li Kun for a while before entering the Wuyuan Garden.

Ying'er heard the sound, and when she came out to catch a glimpse of Wang Xifeng, she was a little flustered, and hurriedly reported and led Wang Xifeng inside.

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er entered the Wuyuan Garden, Wang Xifeng glanced around and smiled: "I am a little lazy during the day, and I am accompanied by the old lady, but it is too late." Bao girl really picked it up? While speaking, Wang Xifeng sat down with a smile and said, "If you want me to say Bao girl, why are you so troubled?" Now that the talker has been found out, who can still arrange you with nonsense in the future?

This is not the obscene and glamorous words that have left a handle, and there is no evidence to check it, and it is okay for you to say that the sky is broken. ”

Baochai's heart sank when she heard this, and Sister Feng'er said that she had a gun and a stick, which obviously meant something.

Sister Bao ordered Ying'er to serve tea with a quiet face, and then said: "Blame me for being careless, and I offended people by saying a word?" ”

Sister Feng smiled and said, "What you want me to say is that the villain has red eyes behind his back." Who doesn't know that Bao Yatou behaves most in the past day? Yes, thank you for teaching Ping'er a lesson on my behalf last time. ”

Only then did Sister Bao know that the dare was because of her words to persuade Ping'er last time, which made Sister Feng unhappy. Baochai hurriedly said: "How old am I, where do I dare to teach Miss Ping a lesson?" It's just some words of persuasion, and it is not appropriate to rush the words. I also hope that Miss Ping will be lenient. ”

After a pause, he said: "Now that Sister Feng doesn't take care of family affairs, my aunt is afraid that she can't be busy, so she said that she asked me to come over to help." If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I have to come and ask Sister Feng. ”

Seeing that Baochai confessed, and the implication was to give herself a ventilating message in the future, Sister Feng gently put it down and said with a smile: "Who cares about this matter, but there is one thing, in the future, I will say that I must have a good life, and I am most concerned about diet." If there's anything good in the future, Bao girl has to hurry up and talk to me. ”

Baochai knew what Sister Feng meant, so she hurriedly bowed her head and said with a smile: "I don't need you to say more, don't I think about you if there are good things?" ”

At that moment, the two sisters were happy, and after talking for half an hour, seeing that the time was approaching, Sister Feng smiled and led Ping'er away.

As soon as the master and servant left, Sister Bao's face suddenly changed. How can I not know in my heart that this turmoil is because of my words last time? She thought in her heart that what she was saying was a big truth, even if Sister Feng heard about it, she wouldn't be able to get her mistakes and omissions, but she didn't want Sister Feng to be a person who didn't rub sand in her eyes, and this revenge was like a storm, and she almost swallowed Sister Bao.

Looking at the figure of the master and the servant who was far away, Sister Bao sighed secretly, knowing that she would never dare to provoke Feng Yatou in the future, otherwise Feng Yatou would really be able to drive herself out of the Jia family!

As for dinner, Baochai excused himself to be unhappy, so he only stayed in the Wuyuan. Near evening, Xiangyun came to comfort again, saying that the old lady had just said to a group of people at dinner, and that in the future, she must be well disciplined by the mother-in-law who loves to chew her tongue, and if there are such gossips again, she will be severely punished.

Sister Bao relaxed slightly, only to feel that this turmoil should have passed, and she didn't know when her aunt Mrs. Wang would come forward to stay.

——

At the end of that day, Li Weijian returned home from the yamen.

When he arrived at Dedong Road Courtyard, seeing that Jia Lan was also there, Li Weijian wondered: "Big sister hasn't come back yet?" ”

Jia Lan's face was embarrassed, and Fu Qiufang leaned over and whispered, "Master, there is a mess in Rongguo Mansion today." ”

At that moment, she told Baochai about the suffering, and Li Weijian was secretly worried when she heard it. Not to mention that the Li family is rigorous, there are very few mothers-in-law chewing their tongues in private, and there are always a few dishonest employment deeds sent out to the house every month, because everyone in the house is naturally in danger.

On that day alone, Xue Pan sent Baochai in a box, few people knew, and if it was said that this matter was leaked, it could not have been passed out from the Li family - otherwise it would have been spread long ago, why wait until today?

Thinking about it like this, the rumor must have been revealed by the Rongguo Mansion...... Could it be that Sister Bao provoked Sister Feng again, and Sister Feng used this to beat Sister Bao?

Laughing secretly for a while, Li Weijian didn't care, and when he looked at Jia Lan again, he said, "Jia's family has a lot of affairs, so you can just have dinner here today and come back." ”

Jalan gave up.

At this time, it was not early, Hongyu hurriedly spread the dishes, the family gathered in the East Road Courtyard for dinner, and Li Weijian called Jia Lan to ask about his homework.

This nephew is really smart, he is more than ten years old, and now he has even learned geometry.

Li Weijian is in a good mood! At that moment, he called Jia Lan to go to the study, planning to teach him personally. Qingwen had the heart to accompany her, but she was preempted by Baoqin. The little girl came over first with bright eyes and bright teeth, and said to Li Weijian: "Fourth brother, can I listen?" ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Naturally." It also pays for you to listen. ”

When the three of them arrived in the study, they saw that Li Weijian had not explained the topic, but after sitting down, he asked Jia Lan: "Does Brother Lan have any plans for the future?" ”

Jia Lan bowed his hand and said: "Back to the fourth uncle, my mother has already taught me, and I plan to learn from the fourth uncle in the future. ”

Li Weijian bowed his head and said: "If Brother Lan plans to enter the office, he must know that this official is different from the Confucian official." ”

Jia Lan said: "My nephew knows that we pay attention to making physical objects and doing practical things, which is different from the Confucian master. ”

saw Li Weijian shaking his head and said: "If you can only do practical things, at most you will be a capable official, and the way forward will be biased." Since the opening of the practical department the year before last, the Jinshi admitted to the practical study in the future is only afraid that it will become more and more prosperous, and it is not known that the practical study and Confucianism will be mixed with first-class in the future.

Since Lan Ge'er has learned practical learning, some things must be known in advance. ”

Jia Lan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please also ask your uncle to teach." ”

Li Weijian got up and paced with his hands on his shoulders and said: "Since the first emperor unified the world, the book is the same text, the car is the same track, the degree is the same, the line is the same, the land is the same domain, and the counties are placed. Because of this, there is a saying that 'there will be a king in 500 years'.

A little calculation, there are few dynasties that have lasted for 300 years, why not? ”

Jia Lan frowned and thought, "I think it's the destiny of heaven—"

Fang was halfway through speaking, but was seriously interrupted by Li Weijian: "Practical learning does not pay attention to the doctrine of destiny. ”

"This-" Jia Lan is only a teenager at this time, where has he ever thought about such a national event? Because I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Weijian saw that Baoqin on the side was eager to try, so he smiled and said, "Sister, do you know?" ”

Baoqin said: "I only know a little bit about it, and it's not right to say it, so I will first throw bricks and invite the fourth brother to taste it." The book says that the rise and fall of chaos, the beginning of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" explains, saying that the general trend of the world, the division of a long time, the union of a long time must be divided, the early years of the dynasty was prosperous, in the middle of the year because of the corruption of the government often buried the disaster of destruction, to the later period of accumulation is difficult to return, even if there is a holy monarch is difficult to turn the tide. ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "That's right, but it's just a surface." ”

Baoqin didn't care, and said with a smile: "That's why it's a brick throw, and I also ask the fourth brother for advice." ”

"The rise and fall of chaos, Taizong of this dynasty has long been prepared, in the final analysis, it is because of the word 'economy'."

"Economy?"

Li Weijian sat down and said: "Since the pre-Qin period, although my Han family has been civilized and prosperous, the foundation is only agricultural civilization. What is Farming Civilization? With planting as the main economy, we rely on the weather to eat. When the weather is unforeseen and the people run out of food, it will lead to war.

Take the late Ming Dynasty as an example, one natural disasters continued, and the other land annexation flourished, and the tenant farmers had almost no land to spare. ”

Baoqin said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the fourth brother's words are at the root. ”

Jia Lan frowned and thought about it on the side, and only after a while did he arch his hand and say: "Uncle just said about agricultural civilization, could it be that there is still a civilization in this world?" ”

Li Weijian was greatly pleased, but felt that his son could be taught. This Jia Lan has taught well, and he can't say that he will be able to help one side in the future! At the moment, he smiled and said: "Naturally, there are, just like the Mughuls, today's Dzungaria is a nomadic civilization; No matter how they are, they are a maritime civilization. ”

At the moment, Li Weijian briefly talked about these two forms of civilization, and when he heard Baoqin's eyes full of autumn water, Jia Lan was also thoughtful.

After a long time, Jalanahan said: "Uncle mentioned the three civilizations, could it be related to practical learning? ”

"Ahh Li Weijian suddenly got up and said excitedly: "Based on practical learning, this agricultural civilization can evolve into an industrial civilization!" ”

Jia Lan pondered and said: "What my uncle is doing right now is to push Dashun to industrial civilization?" ”

"Yes, it's just the beginning."

Baoqin said: "Fourth brother, I see that there are just more machines, and all kinds of objects are a little cheaper, but there seems to be no change in other aspects?" ”

Li Weijian said leisurely: "That's why it's just a start." mentioned it today, so I left a homework for Lan Ge'er, and thought about what industrial civilization is in my spare time. I'll just say one thing, my Dashun has a vast territory, vast mountains and rivers, and it is the limit to be reliable to raise 40,000 people in the current land.

If it evolves to industrial civilization, it is easy to say 40,000, even 140,000. ”

Jia Lan was at a loss for a moment, he didn't have the slightest thought in his heart, and he had no other way at the moment, so he had to bow down and take the order. As soon as Jia Lan left, Li Weijian said to Baoqin again: "Wen Dou came to see my sister today?" ”

Baoqin said: "After coming to see for a while, my brother hurried away after only two moments, only saying that the affairs in the yamen were complicated. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "That Japanese Wendou showed his face, and the prince appointed him to be an official." ”

The little girl smiled sweetly and pulled Li Weijian's hand, and said, "Isn't it because the fourth brother took care of it?" There are not many people in this yamen who can do things, and not everyone has the opportunity to show their faces like this. My brother also specially instructed me, saying that this time it was thanks to the fourth brother. ”

Li Weijian said: "Wen Dou is my own person, where will I treat him badly?" ”

Baoqin looked at Li Weijian with a pair of talking eyes, and said in a low voice: "My body is not very good these days, but after a few days, the fourth brother will also come to my room to talk?" ”

Li Weijian blinked, and saw Baoqin's face crimson. I know in my heart that Baoqin is coming to Tianhua, no wonder these days are not as happy as some time ago.

His mind was shaken, and Li Weijian responded to it in the end. The two talked for a while, Baoqin returned on his own, and Li Weijian walked towards the wing where the red jade in the East Road Courtyard was located.

After Hongyu waited for the wash, the two of them went to bed, and Hongyu said: "Fourth master, the second grandmother sent Ping'er here today, and brought a soup cup to my aunt, and begged my aunt to find a doctor to check that there are condiments in it." ”

"Oh?"

Li Weijian was surprised, and then asked, "Have you ever tested it?" ”

Hongyu said in a low voice: "I invited Imperial Doctor Wang to come next day, saying that there is more saffron in it, and I am afraid that it has the effect of avoiding children's soup." After a pause, he said, "Fourth Master, could it be that soup—"

saw Li Weijian and said: "The second sister-in-law has been married for several years, and the second brother Lian was close to her before, but she only got an eldest sister. Now that I think about it, except for the second sister-in-law, who is a little tired because of the housekeeping, I am afraid that this avoidance soup recipe is the culprit. ”

Hongyu frowned and said, "I don't want my wife to be so vicious!" ”

Li Weijian sneered: "Evil? It's just a stupid woman. Even the second brother Lian has no heirs, can this title fall on Baoyu's head? Don't forget that there is also a Jia Cong in the big house. Even if Jia Cong dies, but there is still Lan Ge'er, it will not be Baoyu's turn anyway. ”

Hongyu nodded, and thought about it: "It's also strange, the second grandmother used to send the soup when she was housekeeper, but now the second grandmother has clearly taken a step back, why is the wife still thinking like this?" ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is retreating this time. Seeing that Hongyu was puzzled, Li Weijian explained: "The Jia family can't make ends meet, if the second sister-in-law is in charge, the next person will not dare to slack off, even if there is a degree of deduction." It is said that the wife was 'innocent' in her early years, and now she is dressed as a Buddha, do you think she is willing to put her heart into governance?

In the long run, the family is becoming more and more stretched, and it is impossible to say that the wife has to retreat by herself. ”

Hongyu suddenly said: "Yes, I heard Miss Ping'er say that now it is rumored that Mama Lai plans to spend 20,000 taels of silver to find an official vacancy for that Lai Shangrong." Fourth master, you said that if your wife knew, would she hit the Lai family with her idea? ”

Li Weijian told Sister Feng about this, why didn't he know? Because he smiled, he smiled: "What do you do with so much?" The Jia family is declining day by day, and you have to go to persuade your parents that it is better to come here than to defend the Jia family. ”

Hongyu suddenly frowned and said, "Persuaded, which time doesn't break the skin of your mouth?" My parents admit that they are dead, and they only say that the foundation of Rongguofu will not be defeated in several lifetimes. After a pause, he said: "Let them be, just ask the fourth master for my sake, if they suffer in the future, they will always have to pull it." ”

Li Weijian took the red jade into his arms and said in a low voice: "This is the proper righteousness. You Ming'er explained to Qingwen and Xiuying, and walked around Sister Lin and Sister Yun more, what was missing or missing, and sent it over in private, so that others could see it. ”

Hongyu responded, and then said 'Fourth Master' with a charming eye, and the two of them rubbed their bodies and rolled together.

Several times of wind and rain, waiting for the rain to collect and the clouds to disperse, the oblique jade mountain embraces, pillows together, leaves the love point, hugs the jade posture, hugs the same bed, and does not mention it.

——

It's a few days in the blink of an eye, and it's already mid-September.

Early this morning, Lai Da looked around with a bitter face, and only then did he turn the newly repaired ancestral hall, and he heard a mother-in-law whispering at the corner gate of Qifeizhai.

Lai Da pretended to have something in his heart, and the lion in Qiao Langzhong in the inner mansion opened his mouth, but the head of the six products dared to ask for 30,000 taels! This silver coin can be taken out by gritting his teeth, just for a six-grade internal government official, and he always feels that the 30,000 taels of silver are really too much.

When I got to the left of the corner door, I suddenly heard the mother-in-law surprised:

"Huh! The Lai family is so rich? ”

Another mother-in-law said: "I have served my master for three lifetimes, that is, I have a face in front of the old lady, and I have to buy things at home, repair gardens, buy plays, and which one of the piles is not handled by the Lai family?" The masters of the family are all high-eyed, and they can't see the fake accounts in front of them, so isn't it up to the Lai family to stick to the oil and water? ”

"Tut, if you can take out 20,000 taels, you can't swallow 100,000 in private!"

"Isn't it? I heard that the Lai family has also built a small garden by themselves, although it is not as good as the Grand View Garden, but it is also exquisite everywhere. That Lai Shangrong is even more beautiful since he was a child, and he has a wet nurse and maid waiting for him when he first enters, and he can't compare to the sons and sons of ordinary middle-sized families. ”

The woman said: "That's it, we don't have that kind of blessing, and we don't expect to embezzle more than 100,000 pieces of silver, we just hope that this month's monthly case will be put down as soon as possible." ”

While talking, the two mothers-in-law sighed and walked away, but Lai Da stood still for a long time, and suddenly shouted 'not good', turned his head and walked back.

As a result, he turned around and bumped into the doorman Yu Liu, who smiled and said, "Grandpa Lai, what's wrong?" ”

Lai Da said vaguely: "I forgot something at home, I have to go back this time." If anyone asks, just say I'll be right back. ”

Yu Liuying got down, and Lai Da hurriedly walked away.

Because of the garden and the provincial relatives, the family of Rongguo Mansion was almost hollowed out. And because the people below dared to stretch out their hands more and more, they made Rongguofu increasingly unable to make ends meet.

As the head of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Da is like a mirror in his heart. Now that the wife is back in charge, she is worried about the silver, and the Lai family will spend 20,000 taels of silver to buy the official vacancy for Lai Shangrong at this time, which makes the wife and the old lady think?

The Lai family has been in business for several generations, and although they have taken a lot of benefits, they have never forgotten their roots and serve their masters with humility and obedience. What I'm afraid of is that the tree will attract the wind and cause disaster for the family.

Don't look at the current scenery of the Lai family, but if the master above is really more truthful, and he has the deed in hand, he can make the Lai family disappear in an instant!

Now even the mother-in-law chews her tongue, just afraid that sooner or later this matter will reach the ears of the wife and the old lady...... And the matter of seeking official vacancies for Lai Shangrong is extremely secretive, how did this mother-in-law know? Thinking of Lai Shangwen dragging down Ning Guofu before, Lai Da suddenly felt bad in his heart.

It was also with this in mind that Lai Da hurried home.

When I arrived at the house, Mama Lai was also there, and when she saw her son returning, she immediately wondered: "You are not on duty in the house, why did you come back this time?" ”

Lai Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and said eagerly: "Mom, the big thing is not good, I'm afraid that the masters will attack our family!" ”

"Huh?" Mama Lai was so frightened that her face suddenly changed: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lai Da hurriedly told what he had just seen and heard, and then said: "This matter is secret, even if the servants in our family don't know about it, how did it spread to the mansion?" It is imperative to transfer the goods out as soon as possible, so that even if the incident happens, Shang Rong will have a surplus of money. ”

Lai Mama shook her head again and again: "Yes, turn around, transfer all the floating wealth and land out." ”

"No!" Lai Dadao: "Our family also has a garden, and when the master sees this kind of weather, he can't pick up the floating wealth, but he is afraid that he will anger us and others." If you don't leave half of the floating wealth, then you can have an explanation. ”

"This-" Mama Lai was very reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that what Lai Da said was reasonable. Knowing that there was no room for action and hesitation, he had to grit his teeth and respond.

The mother and son made a plan, turned their heads and found a proper person to deal with. On that day, more than a dozen carriages headed out of the city, and they did not mention it.

However, it was said that in the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang allowed public opinion to ferment, and only called Baochai to assist in family affairs, and there was no other disposal.

On this day, Baochai retired with Mrs. Wang's housework. Only Mrs. Wang was left inside, and when she turned her head, Zhou Rui's family talked back and forth, quietly told Mrs. Wang about public opinion, and then lowered her voice and said: "Madam, now I'm afraid that the old lady has already known, just waiting for Mrs. to break this matter." ”

Mrs. Wang twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, but shook her head and said: "I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to come forward with such a bad thing for the old lady." ”

Seeing the eagerness of Zhou Rui's family, Mrs. Wang said: "Don't worry, if I don't come forward, someone will be the wicked person." ”

Zhou Rui's family secretly wondered, could it be that Mrs. Wang planned to say that Sister Feng could not come forward? When I turned my head, I realized that I was wrong.

At noon on this day, Mrs. Xing led the maid and mother-in-law to Rongqing Hall in a hurry, and said a little gossip without saying anything, then turned her head and said: "Old lady, there is a matter that has been spread in a big way, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”

Mother Jia was disgusted with Mrs. Xing, so she said, "What is really fake?" I see, the real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be true. ”

Mrs. Xing sneered: "What the old lady said is reasonable. It has been rumored in the past few days, saying that the Lai family has learned from our family to build a small garden, and when they turn around, they will take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy an official vacancy for Brother Rong. Tsk, it's really decent, now our family can't take out 20,000 taels, and we rely on our family to get it.

When the eldest lord heard this, he was very angry, and only said that it must be the Lai family who harmed the public and private interests, otherwise he had been a slave for several lifetimes, where could he get so much money? ”

Jia Mu suddenly said with a cold face: "What you say seems to mean something, if you have anything to say, just say it, why go around in circles?" ”

"This-" Mrs. Xing said in a low voice: "The eldest master means, check the accounts, it's not good to make a deficit made by the minions, let us bear it." ”

Jia Mu said: "Now that the wife is in charge, you can go to the wife to talk about this kind of thing." ”

Mrs. Xing was choked and didn't know how to speak. If you talk to Mrs. Wang, where can you take advantage of the big house?

The husband and wife are calculating, and they can get 20,000 silver, but they are afraid that there will be at least 100,000 floating wealth in the family! Such a good thing, how can the second room be allowed to go in vain?

However, Mrs. Xing's mouth was clumsy, and she didn't know how to say it for a while. After a long time, I had to go back to find Jia Yu's thoughts.

At the end of the day, Mrs. Wang also came to look for Jia's mother, but she never mentioned the matter of the Lai family, only saying that the public was empty. I owed the Xue family 50,000 taels of silver earlier, and now that a year has passed, I have to pay some back first.

Mother Jia had a headache when she heard this, she was old and weak, and she was no longer able to control the family. The Jia family is declining day by day, how can she not see it? However, I don't have enough energy, and I can't control it if I want to. Now I only think about myself having a good time, and before I die, I will take care of the junior's marriage, so it is good to replace the old country.

As for the future? As the so-called 'Gentleman's Ze V and beheaded', the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are self-conscious, and the ancestors can not always take care of it.

Mother Jia's heart is transparent, but this Jia family is now unsustainable.

Although Mrs. Wang never mentioned the Lai family, how could Jia's mother not know that these two daughters-in-law had hit the Lai family with their ideas early on?

Because he only said: "I am old, and I have long stopped taking care of family affairs, so my wife can make her own decisions about such things." ”

Mrs. Wang said with a wooden face: "The daughter-in-law is dealing with it as a good student, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." And recently, it has been rumored that many slaves in the family are embezzlement. If you don't cut off the outstretched claws, I'm afraid that the family will become more embarrassed in the future. ”

Jia Mu sighed, and her heart was bitter. At this point, Jia's mother didn't want to go to Bao Nalai's house again. There was an old thing in Ningfu before, and now he is flamboyantly spending 20,000 taels of silver to buy an official vacancy for Lai Shangrong, and the Lai family is so dead, it should be copied.

It's just that once the Lai family is gone, who will be the head of this Rongguo Mansion?

Thinking of this, Jia Mu pondered: "I have to discuss something with my wife. ”

"Old lady, please."

Jia Mu said: "There are rumors outside, and I think my wife has heard about it." This Dao is the duty of the family, but it is an unintentional mistake that has affected the Ning Mansion. I don't want the Lai family to know how to restrain and make a fuss...... Now it seems that this Lai family is afraid that it will not be able to stay. After a pause, he said: "It's just that when this Lai family goes, which one will you choose to be the manager?" ”

Mrs. Wang knew that the old lady was worried about herself, for fear that Mrs. Wang's companion would be the manager in the future. This copy of the Lai family, if the old lady does not nod, her behavior is always not beautiful. And filial piety is greater than the sky, no matter what happens in private, there is always filial piety on the surface.

Because it was Mrs. Wang, she said: "Daughter-in-law, that Shan Daliang and Wu Xindeng are all proper." ”

Jia Mu frowned and said: "Just Daliang, the comprador affairs in the house are handled in a daze, and he is not a person who understands." But Wu Xindeng is a good ...... It's just that Wu Xindeng is in charge of the treasury, if he is promoted to the chief manager, who will he call to lead the treasury? ”

Mrs. Wang tentatively mentioned Qian Hua and a few other companions, but Mother Jia just shook her head and refused to allow it, or said that she jumped out, or said that she was not qualified. Mrs. Wang was helpless, so she only said: "In this way, my daughter-in-law has no idea at this time." ”

Jia Mu said: "I think that Lin Zhixiao is acting safely, it is better to let Lin Zhixiao come to the treasury." ”

Lin Zhixiao, the father of Hongyu, was originally the account room on the silver treasury, and he also entered the Rongguo Mansion as a servant early in the morning, but he was not the companion room of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang.

Such a proposal has the meaning of harmony. Mrs. Wang pondered and said, "Lin Zhixiao is proper, but the silver treasury account room-"

Jia Mu said: "Just let him bear it together, and I can't add a lot of money to him." ”

Mrs. Wang responded, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Mrs. Wang suppressed her heart and jumped away. The two of Lin Zhixiao, known as deaf and dumb, because they are not anyone's companions, they are stammering with four jaws, and they even intentionally worshiped Sister Feng as a godmother earlier.

Mrs. Wang secretly thought that if she only used a little means to win her over, Lin Zhixiao and her family would definitely move closer to her.

When she returned to her courtyard and sent Aunt Zhao who came to kneel and set rules again today, Mrs. Wang first looked for Aunt Xue to discuss, and then turned her head to find Lin Zhixiao.

In the next few days, Aunt Xue mobilized more than a dozen account rooms into the house, and together with Lin Zhixiao's family, secretly counted the accounts of the past years. At the same time, Mrs. Wang sent Lai Da to inspect Zhuangzi outside the city, in order to divert the tiger from the mountain.

On the day of the 20th, more than a dozen Xue family account offices finally counted the accounts of the previous ten years, and the leading account room said to Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Hui, the accounts of the previous ten years have been counted now, regardless of the inflated accounts, there are 79,328 taels and 600 Wen alone, and when the false accounts are counted, I am afraid that there will be 100,000 taels." ”

Mrs. Wang suddenly changed color, and said, "Good dog!" Yuan Dao is a loyal person, I don't want to pretend to be seen by others, and my heart is black in private! This is the silverfish that hollowed out the Jia family! Come on, go and take down Lai Da and Lai's daughter-in-law together, send someone to pick up Lai's family, and take back the greedy and occupied ones! ”
