Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Red House Jiamu 6

Jia Daishan's complexion, which rarely changed, finally burst uncontrollably.

He looked his old wife up and down, if it wasn't for Shi's still distaste for his daughter-in-law, he would have suspected that his old wife had changed.

Seeing him sizing her up, Mother Jia said indifferently, "What I gave her was that I was willing to flatter her, but she stole it...Hmph!"

Jia Daishan was relieved, so what he said was, where is there a substitution? !The person is still the same person, and the character is still the same. It was Lai Qiang and his wife who touched Shi's backlash.

If the wife doesn't object, it's easy to handle.Lai Qiang has been with him for many years, and even dared to steal his father's favorite things, and he would not be wronged if he killed him.

"Ma'am, don't be angry. For my husband, I'm going to ask someone to deal with these unscrupulous slaves."

Jia Daishan took care of everything.The wife doesn't want to see the eldest son and daughter-in-law, so it's better not to let the son show up.In order not to think of her precious dowry maid anytime, and get angry with the boss again.

On the second day, Jia Amnesty went to Jiamu's place to copy the accounts on time.

On the long table, a dozen or so new notebooks were lined up. Jia Amnesty held the account book of January in one hand and a pen in the other, and copied the running water by date.

I hunched my waist, lowered my head, and turned around the long case all morning. I was dizzy and my neck was stiff while copying.Jia Amnesty sighed deeply, and her mother's kneading skill of Zhang Shi deepened again, alas.This new method of copying accounts, even I can't bear it!

At noon, Jia's mother left Jia Amnesty for dinner. After the meal, Jia's mother rested while Jia Amnesty continued to work.In the evening, Jia Zheng returned home from school to pay his respects to Mother Jia.

Jia Amnesty put on a flattering smile and said to Mother Jia: "Mother, there are too many books here, and my son won't be able to finish copying them in a while. Should I ask my second brother to copy with my son?"

"Your second brother will not care about the affairs of this mansion in the future."

Jia Zheng was stunned, mother didn't want to fight for herself in front of father?

"Mother, even if the second younger brother doesn't care about the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion, he will still have his own mansion in the future. Although firewood, rice, oil and salt are trivial matters, they are also related to people's livelihood. If you don't know how to harvest crops, how will you be appointed as a marquis in the future?"

"Brother, I still have to study. The school is tight." Jia Zheng immediately opened his mouth to object.

Jia's mother pondered for a while, and said to the awkward and disliked brothers: "The boss is right, firewood, rice, oil and salt are related to people's livelihood, so it's better for the second brother to understand these first. You two will follow Zhuangtou to see it next year." Watch the spring plowing and the autumn harvest, and experience the hard work of every grain. If you don’t know how to harvest crops, how will you be a marquis and minister in the future?”

Jia Amnesty: Did you bury yourself in it?

Jia Zheng: Boss, why are you dragging me?

Jia Zheng's resentment was almost turned into substance.But in front of Jia's mother, he didn't dare to quarrel with Jia Amnesty.He was aggrieved for a while, relying on Jia Mu's usual preference for himself, he wanted to beg for mercy.

"Mother, my son wants to study and take the imperial examination, those mundane things..."

"Okay, second child, you can do whatever you are asked to do. Mother has said that filial piety comes first, don't you understand?"

Jia Amnesty interrupted Jia Zheng's words without mercy.

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Amnesty and warned him to shut up.Jia Amnesty was startled by his mother's eyes, and fell silent embarrassingly.

"Second brother, you send someone to go to the school tomorrow to ask for leave. When Chenzheng is on time, you will copy the accounts with your elder brother on time. Pearl, you go to the accounting room and ask them to bring last year's account books first. Tortoise, you bring someone to read the accounts again. Put a case for the second master to use."

Jia Zheng was a little stunned. It was okay to greet his mother last night, why is it like this today?Jia Zheng thought for a while, then looked at Jia Amnesty bitterly, hmph, it was all the boss's instigation just now.

Seeing the dissatisfied expression of the second child, Jia She smiled triumphantly, as if most of the fatigue of the day had dissipated.

"Second brother, you go back to your yard for dinner and tell Mrs. Wang that you don't need to bring your children here."

Mother didn't stay for dinner by herself?

Jia Zheng felt very hurt. Yesterday, there was something about the warehouse. What about today?

Mother Jia looked impatiently at Jia Zheng's puppy-like eyes.And Jia Amnesty actually laughed annoyedly on the sidelines.So she turned to Jia Amnesty and shouted: "Boss, you have been idle for a while, why don't you hurry up and copy the accounts?"

Jia Zheng was instantly happy. He bowed his hands to Jia She, smiled triumphantly and left.

Jia Amnesty's face collapsed: Humph!You can only be beautiful for one night, tomorrow you will be the same as me.

Mother Jia caressed her forehead: Both of them are in their 20s, and they are now fathers. Why do they do such naive things? !

Jia Zheng returned to his yard, and the maids in the yard came up to greet him as soon as they saw him come back.Those who raised the door curtain, and those who reported inside, all performed their duties and hurriedly opened around him.

He went in with the maid who reported the message, and he could hear his son and his wife chirping and laughing in the main room, relaxed and happy, joyful and warm.The depression that made him have to copy the accounts tomorrow and not be able to go to school has been greatly reduced.

"Second Master is back." When Wang saw him entering the house, she got up and saluted him.

Jia Zhu followed suit with a smile and saluted, "My son greets his father."

"Pearl is here?" Jia Zheng was surprised.

"Second Master, my mother sent someone to bring the children back yesterday, and let me take them myself." The corner of Wang's mouth was smiling, and the joy that could not be concealed in her voice overflowed to her heart's content.

"Put the child with the mother, and the mother will teach it with all her heart. The mother is old, and she loves her grandchildren, and she is also supporting us. How can you take the child back without regard to filial piety?"

Jia Zheng's face was stern, and he was very angry. No wonder his mother didn't like him as much as before.This Mrs. Wang did something stupid!

When Jia Zheng accused her of disregarding filial piety, Wang's face immediately turned pale, and she was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she defended herself aggrievedly:

"Second Master, the child was brought back by the mother yesterday afternoon. It was the mother who didn't want to take it, and I didn't pick it up."

Wrong Mrs. Wang?

Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed.

"Mrs. Wang, mother doesn't seem very happy." Jia Zheng couldn't bear to admit his mistake like Wang's, softened his voice, and quickly changed the subject.

Wang and him have also lived for four or five years, and there will be no one who knows him.

"My wife is upset because the birthday banquet next month has been cancelled." Wang didn't want to say any more, and ordered the maid to come up to help Jia Zheng change and wash, and let the maid prepare the meal.

The servings of the three of them were placed together, forming a large table full.Adhering to the rule of eating without talking, I ate dinner silently.

After the meal, Mrs. Wang held her son in her arms, dismissed all the maids and mothers-in-law, and then whispered to Jia Zheng, "Second Lord, my wife is angry, not only because she canceled the birthday banquet."

Jia Zheng was taken aback, "What else is there?"

He was studying at school and didn't know what was going on around his mother, which was not a good thing.

"Second Lord, do you remember the agate plate that was delivered from the warehouse last month?"

Jia Zheng nodded.

Wang's smile was as bright as a spring flower, which made Jia Zheng dazed.

"Buy and send ten dishes into the warehouse. The first room and the second room each have a pair. The warehouse manager and the bookkeeper each took one, and Lai Qiang's family took two pairs back."

Jia Zheng was furious, "This old slave is too much."

"Mother sent the uncle to Lai's house to look for things, and even found some favorite things of the old Duke." Satisfied, Wang hugged her son, and she slowly talked to her husband about the affairs of the house.

"This Lai family...how dare they do this?"

When Jia Zheng heard that Lai Qiang's family took away more dishes than his own yard, he immediately became angry.

"Early this morning, the Duke ordered the killing of those members of Lai Qiang's family, and all the slaves in the mansion were called to watch."

"Killed?"

Wang said it plainly, but Jia Zheng was frightened.

He blurted out, "Lai Qiang's family was also killed?"

Wang pushed the teacup on the case table towards Jia Zheng's hand, and answered him lightly.

"That's right. The eldest daughter-in-law of Lai Qiang's family gave birth prematurely last night. They were killed together today. I heard that the child who was born didn't survive. The Duke of the country kicked out all the in-laws of Lai Qiang's family. I went to Zhuangzi in the north. There will be no one named Lai in the mansion, and no one related to the Lai family. Er Ye, drink some tea."

Jia Zheng thought that he was still in his mother's room yesterday evening and saw Lai Qiang's family kneeling to plead guilty, so he killed him today?He was thinking too much, the tea soup in his hand was shaken out, making it all over the front of his clothes.

Wang pretended not to see, lowered her head and hugged her son, and changed the direction.

Jia Zheng took out the handkerchief himself, wiped off the tea stains, cleaned everything up neatly, and then asked Mrs. Wang what he had just said.

"Do you think mother is angry because father killed the Lai family?"

Wang Shi pursed her lips and smiled. In this case, those who are their own daughter-in-law will not accept it.

Jia Zheng didn't expect Mrs. Wang to accept such words. He said to himself: "Lai Qiang's family is my mother's dowry. Over the years, people say something bad about her, and my mother is not happy. Their husband and wife are friendly to our second room. , with her in front of mother, we also have someone to help talk. Now..."

Mrs. Wang thought nothing of it, "Second Master, without Lai Qiang's family, there are other people in my mother's yard. If you are willing to take care of it, someone will speak for us."

"By the way, Mrs. Wang, let me tell you, my mother wants me to take leave tomorrow and go to her room to copy the account books. Sigh."

"That's good. You can know how much the government's expenses are."

"Huh, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. A man, what can you do by copying those trivial trivial matters!" Jia Zhengyi was so indignant that his face flushed.

"Then will the second master go to school tomorrow or copy the accounts?" Wang asked with a smile.

"Ah..." Jia Zheng suddenly withered like a deflated ball.He sighed, and said listlessly: "Filial piety is the first thing to do. My mother is not feeling well these days, so just copy the accounts. I heard that the boss has been copying for a day today."

Jia Zheng gloated at his misfortune, his brows and eyes couldn't hide his smile.Wang spat secretly, as if you don't need to copy tomorrow? !

Mrs. Zhang rubbed the back of her husband's neck vigorously, tears dripped down on the back of Jia Amnesty's neck.

"Husband, let my concubine go copy the accounts tomorrow."

Jia She turned over and held his wife in his arms, carefully wiping away Zhang's tears with his fingertips.

"Yizhen, you can't stand it. You won't even be able to walk if you stand for a day."

"But my husband, let you suffer for my concubine, my heart is like a knife gouged out."

Mrs. Zhang was lying in Jia She's arms, her normally crooked smiling eyes were now full of distressed tears, which were stringed together like beads.

"It's okay, I'm a man, what is this? The second child will copy the accounts with me tomorrow, maybe before noon, my mother will be gone."

Mrs. Zhang was suspicious, "Will it be?"

"Yes. You can trust me. Mother is reluctant to let her sweetheart suffer with me."

Mrs. Zhang knows that her mother-in-law loves her brother-in-law, so she hopes that this matter will be avoided sooner.

Zhang was distracted for a moment, Jia Amnesty's big hand had already swam into her lapel.

"Yizhen, I worked hard for you today, did you work hard too!"
