Chapter 301: Mama Lai's complaint
Lai Da is greedy for ink in Rongguo Mansion, which is really not as convenient as Lai Sheng's greed for ink in Ningguo Mansion.
On the side of Rongguo Mansion, there is Jia Mu above, Wang Xifeng below, and Lin Zhixiao and other second housekeepers in the middle are staring.
Where is it like Lai Sheng in Ningguo Mansion? There is only one Jia Zhen on it, and this Jia Zhen is ridiculous and careless, as long as Jia Zhen is coaxed well, Ning Guofu's family property is not just a casual move?
Therefore, Lai Da has been a housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion for a few years longer than Lai Sheng, but the silver that is greedy for ink is forty or fifty thousand less than Lai Sheng.
And Mama Lai couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this number.
She counted and said: "Boss, you are a housekeeper, and it is common for you to be greedy for ink and silver." But this greed can't be without limits. ”
"You've only been a housekeeper for more than ten years, and you have to be greedy for more than 10,000 taels of silver a year. How much does this Rongguo Mansion only enter in a year? ”
"You are so greedy, once you are found out, it is me, and there is no way to cover it in front of the old lady!"
If you are less greedy, you will be known by the master, and you will just laugh it off.
But if you are too greedy and arouse the disgust of your master, that is the way to die.
The number of Lai Da's greed for ink is that Lai Mama is frightened.
Mama Lai asked again: "You are so greedy for ink, have you left any tricks to be caught?" ”
Lai Da said confidently: "Mother, son, naturally act cautiously, no more unscrupulous than the second child. If not, the son would not be greedy for 145,000 taels of silver. ”
Hearing this, Mama Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's fine, if that's the case, you must grit your teeth and kill those who can't admit it." ”
Mama Lai asked again: "By the way, is the second child really so crazy?" actually embezzled 360,000 taels of silver in Dongfu? ”
Lai Da shook his head and said: "Mother, the second child has been greedy for ink over the years, at most 200,000 taels, where is there 360,000 taels!" ”
Hearing this number, Mama Lai was shocked and angry and said, "Good this concubine! He kept saying that he didn't count the interest of my Lai family, and only took away the money that belonged to Ning Guofu! ”
"I didn't expect him to almost double the money that the second child was greedy for! This black-hearted one, our Lai family is greedy, he is a clear robbery! ”
"Now I go to the ancestor to sue him, and I want to make that concubine have no good time!"
Hearing this, Lai Da couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Mother, this matter is actually the fault of our Lai family. Even if he embezzled 200,000 taels of silver, it was a shocking amount. ”
"When the ancestors heard this, how could anyone not be angry? is to sue, I'm afraid that it will also arouse the suspicion of the ancestors, and my Lai family won't be able to get it, right? ”
Mama Lai sighed: "I don't know that this is the case? However, if my Lai family was robbed of 360,000 taels of silver, I still didn't dare to complain or make trouble. ”
"Doesn't it mean that my family is at a loss? Really greedy for 360,000 taels of silver from Ning Guofu? Didn't you say to outsiders that my Lai family still has a lot of silver, even if it was copied out of 360,000 taels, and I can still live well? ”
"Therefore, I must go to the old lady to make a scene, even if it will arouse the old lady's suspicion, I must go!"
Lai Da didn't expect this, he just didn't turn the corner for a while.
Now after listening to Mama Lai's words, Lai Da couldn't help but sigh and said: "What the mother said is very true, but the son didn't expect this. The son then sent his mother to the ancestor. ”
"The troubles caused by the sons will affect the mother, and the son will be uneasy."
Mama Lai said: "You originally crawled out of my belly, should I do things for you?" Let's hurry up. ”
Lai nodded and said, "Yes, mother." ”
After a short time, Mama Lai sat in a sedan chair and came to the front of Rongqing Hall.
Mama Lai got off the sedan chair, raised her feet and walked inside.
The maids of Rongqingtang hurriedly went inside to report that the image of Mama Lai scared them.
It turned out that Mama Lai's clothes were disheveled, her hair was scattered, and she still had a bright red palm print on her face.
Those maids and mothers-in-law were busy asking An to ask, but Mama Lai ignored them, but went straight into the Rongqing Hall.
Seeing Mother Jia, Mama Lai couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cried: "Please Miss for the sake of serving you in the past, spare my Lai family." Please be gracious, please be gracious, please, miss. ”
Mama Lai cried, said, and kowtowed.
The bluffed Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Quick, come and help her up, what do you mean?" ”
The mother-in-law and maids in the room were busy helping Lai Mama from the ground and inviting her to sit down.
On the other side, seeing this, Li Kun got up and took the girls out.
Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "Mama Lai, what's going on?" You just said that you will spare your family? Who wants your life to be in Lai's house? How come I don't know, old woman? You tell me carefully. ”
"Also, what's the deal with the palm print on your face? Who hit you? Was it beaten by people from outside, or by people from the house? If you have any grievances, just tell me. ”
Jia Mu really didn't know about this matter, since this was the case, it would be much easier to do.
Mama Lai hurriedly said, "Miss, that's the case. Not long after I had breakfast at home, I heard a shouting outside, and a group of unknown people broke into the house and tied up the little ones in the house. ”
Hearing the movement, the old woman panicked or something, and hurriedly asked Lai Da to go out to see. Lai Da went out and was beaten, and after a while, a group of people broke in and said that they wanted to raid my Lai family. ”
When the old woman saw it, it turned out to be Lin Zhixiao with dozens of little girls, and the old man asked about Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao said that he came to raid the house on the order of the third master. ”
Hearing this, Jia Mu was greatly surprised.
Brother Huan took Lin Zhixiao and dozens of small servants to Lai's house to copy Lai's house?
This is seriously inconsistent with the image of Brother Huan, and I felt a little ridiculous for a while.
She couldn't help but ask, "The third master you are talking about is Brother Huan'er?" ”
Mama Lai glanced at Mother Jia, her heart sank, and then said, "Miss Hui, it's Brother Huan." ”
"The old man asked Brother Huan'er, my brother brought someone to my Lai's house and wanted to raid the house and destroy the door, I don't know why?"
"Brother Huan said that the second son of the old man, Lai Sheng, was greedy for 360,000 taels of silver in Ningguo Mansion, so he brought someone to the door to copy my Lai family."
"The ancestor just thinks that although Lai Sheng is not successful, he also knows shame and gratitude. Besides, Lai Sheng has only been a housekeeper for ten years, where can he be greedy for 360,000 taels of silver? ”
"Could it be that Lai Sheng can still empty Ning Guofu? Could it be that the subordinates and minions in Ning Guo's Mansion are all dead? ”
"The old body knows that the third master doesn't know who has been deceived, the third master is the master, and the old body is not easy to distinguish from him. The old man said that he wanted to come to see Miss, and asked Miss to make decisions for me. ”
Who knew that the third master didn't let the old man go out, slapped the old man in the face, and scolded the old man for saying that he was not born a slave and forgot to be humble. Give me face is Mama Lai, if you don't give me face, I'm nothing. ”
