Winning every step of the Red Mansion

263

Let's say that Jia Amnesty left the Ministry of War with the return receipt of the lost and recovered money, and the young servant who followed saw the cloud on his master's face, so naturally he didn't dare to make any more noise about the reward, and followed behind smoothly.Jia She also didn't get on the horse, and walked forward with his head down. After walking for a few feet, Jia She suddenly stopped, raised his head and said, "Where are you going? It's not the way to go back to the Ministry of Household Affairs!" The servant who followed quickly stepped forward and said: "Go wherever the master says. The younger one followed, thinking that the master was busy with his business and wanted to take the younger one to have a good meal!"

What he said was funny, and Jia She was very happy when he heard it. He laughed and said, "You guys can say some things to make me happy, and you are thinking about rewarding me!" A few silver scorpions were thrown back and said: "I rewarded you, follow me to hand in the receipt, and we will go home."

Jia Amnesty went to the household department to hand in the receipt to cancel the account, chatted with Fang Zhongzheng for a few words, and then came out from the household department.Jia Amnesty walked a few steps, looked back at the plaque on the mansion, shook his head, and sighed inwardly: "I thought it would be difficult for me to tidy up the mansion, but now it seems that I still have very little knowledge! It’s really not easy to be an official. This time, I’ve been in the officialdom for a while, and only I can feel the taste of it. From now on, An Ansheng should be my vain general.”

Jia Amnesty brought everyone back to the mansion, now that the big stone in his heart has been dropped, he feels that his steps are much lighter.Jia Amnesty felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden relief of the burden, and walked around the study, ordered the housekeeper to gather all the housekeepers, first asked Jia Hu carefully about the preparations for the marriage, and then He also cross-examined some unresolved matters in the mansion.Everyone in charge was worried, secretly speculating how could the uncle ask such detailed questions today?Each of them replied cautiously, for fear of saying something wrong and offending the master.After going back and forth, after talking for nearly an hour, Jia Amnesty finally dealt with all these matters, and left the big housekeeper to question alone.

"You have done your best in all matters in this mansion. Let me ask you how the preparations for the sect division are going?"

The big housekeeper, Qi Quan, was not afraid, but he was afraid that Jia She would ask about this matter, but the master had to answer the question, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Master, the little one is not doing well, the division of the clan is really, really..."

Jia Amnesty saw that Quanquan was hesitating, so he asked, "What is it? Just say it." Quanquan gritted his teeth and said, "It's not going well."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty put down the teacup he was holding, tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "What's not going well? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been busy with my official business these days, thinking that you used to be very agile and considerate. It’s why I taught you how to prepare for such a big event, why are you learning from Lai Da and others now? Are you going to lie to others?”

Hearing this, Quan Quan shrank his neck and said: "Master calm down, master calm down. Master ordered this young man to be the butler of this mansion and dare not relax for a day and a half. Do your best in everything for fear of any mistakes, let alone dare to imitate Lai Da. It's just like that. It's just that the master said that this division is really difficult. This, this..."

"What is this?" Jia She said angrily.

"My lord, as the saying goes: if there is a law, follow the law, and if there is no law, follow the law. But most of the clans are because the clan is too large and the members of the clan have migrated to other places, or there are talented people in the clan. Yes. But like our Ningrong Second Mansion, there is no reason to divide the clan! How can the yellow form of the basic branch clan comfort the ancestors? To tell you the truth, I have already troubled five or six teachers on this matter. No one dared to respond. This is the case, and I don’t know what to do with the following matters, such as asking for a tablet! And such a big event, if there is a slight deviation, it will really damage the reputation of the mansion and your prestige, sir!"

Quan Quan is a straight person who said all these words.After hearing this, Jia She thought for a moment and said: "It is true that the word reputation is the most tiring in the world. What you said is true, but there are cases and rules, and if there are no cases, just set a precedent. As for the yellow form How to comfort the ancestors, I think it's better to tell the truth, why bother to whitewash the peace, if the ancestors really know about this matter, they should be pleased with my wise decision. You don't need to find any teacher to write about this matter, I myself Just write it!" Jia She paused and asked again: "Aside from these two things, what else can you not decide?"

Quanquan thought for a while and said: "The contributions are all complete and comprehensive. The person who performed the ritual also invited the elders of the clan, and everyone in the clan also sent invitations. To be a witness, please show the place where the tablet is enshrined." Also take care of it according to the master's previous instructions. As for relatives and friends, I will not invite them according to the master's wishes. It's just the same, I'm afraid that one day the Ning mansion will make a loophole and cause trouble."

Jia Amnesty nodded and said: "What's so terrible about the accident? If they cause trouble, I will let the clansmen comment on it, and see who really humiliated the Jia family at that time."

Qi Quan didn't dare to say more, so he had to say yes to Nuo Nuo.At this time, someone from the corridor came to report that a letter from the master had arrived.Jia She ordered the servant to bring in the letter, unfolded it, read it with a smile and said, "Housekeeper Qi, I have another thing for you to do. Go and get all the important account books from the company. There are rules for separating families. Don't bother, you have to do it twice, let's cook together."

Steward Qi was taken aback, looked at Jia She and said, "Master, what is this, what is this?"

Jia She said with a smile, "Since Rongning and Ning's two houses are going to be divided into clans, it's better to separate them together." Hearing these words, Quan Quan almost sat down on the ground, and it took him a long time to relax. Shendao: "Master, what you just said is the separation of the family?"

Jia Amnesty nodded: "It's the separation of the family. Anyway, we have to do it sooner or later. Let's do it together. To save people from talking about the reputation of the mansion, let them see what my old man said in the Rongguo mansion. If they have taken root, there is no room for outsiders to talk about them." After speaking, he slapped his palm heavily on the table.Quan Qi shrank his neck, thinking that he didn't know where the letter came from, but it just happened to be at this time, and this Hui completely angered the master.Although Steward Qi complained, he didn't dare to persuade Jia Amnesty anymore, so he hurriedly complied and stepped back to make arrangements for the separation of Zhang Luo's family.Jia Amnesty put the letter on his body, got up and went to find Jia Mu.

Shi Fei'er was also annoyed by the tribe because of the division of the clan.Modern people are more or less disgusted with the clan.Especially the pig teammates who are in charge of the Ningguo Mansion's hind legs, Shi Fei'er sincerely hopes that it is better to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible.However, sect division is a major matter after all, and concerns the interests of many families, so there will always be people who don't know the interest to inquire about the news, for fear that they won't be able to catch the big tree of Rongguo Mansion.Shi Feier thought to herself that if she saw Jia Amnesty, she would also like to ask about the progress, hoping that this matter would be settled as soon as possible.Just as he was thinking, Jia Amnesty arrived.

After the routine greeting, the two chattered a few more gossips, and Shi Feier asked Jia Amnesty how the emperor's envoy was doing as usual, but Jia Amnesty was honest and told Jia Mu all about today's events.Naturally, the fact that Jia Zheng went to Prince Zhongjing's residence with a gift was not missed.

Shi Fei'er was originally a smart person, and after hearing what Jia She said about this matter, she must know that there must be a follow-up.Then he smiled and said: "You came to look for me in such a hurry today, you must have something to do, so you can talk about it together. Don't hide it."

Jia She said with a smile: "The old lady really has unique eyes. I can't hide your golden eyes with my little thought."

Shi Fei'er smiled and said: "It's nice words, but if you hear them too much, you'll get tired of them. You'd better save your tongue and talk about business."

Hearing this, Jia She nodded and handed the letter in his arms to Mother Jia, saying: "The old lady has an unfeeling request from her son today, and I hope the old lady can agree."

Shi Fei'er took the letter and read it twice, then glanced at Jia She and said, "Don't let me guess, you are so unfeeling, but let me accept your unfeeling request and divide the family after the division." one thing?"

Jia She nodded and said, "The old lady is really powerful. You can tell what I'm thinking at a glance."

Shi Fei'er shook her head and said: "Where is my strength, isn't it clearly stated in this letter, the matter of clan division, the Wang family is doing this behind the scenes, coaxing that brat Jia Zhen to get on the pirate ship without mentioning it , behind the scenes, I want to join you again. It’s good for such relatives to have less contact with each other.”

Jia She nodded and said: "At first I didn't have such thoughts. But this has been repeated over and over again. In the early years, I promised you that you would not mention the separation of the family when you were here, but now I have to break my promise. Go on like this Others haven't done anything, but I got into a fight. Wouldn't it be a joke for others to see for nothing? Just don't bother and delay, I have mentioned the matter of family separation in normal times, and this time I will do it together through the branch clan. I will deal with it impartially, and I will not treat them badly. I also ask the old lady to be sympathetic to my son's heart for the Rongguo Mansion."

Shi Fei'er pondered for a moment, and then said again: "I have no objection to the division of clan and family, it's just that there are two marriages in the house this year, it's fine if Hu'er is married, but the eldest sister is married, if I'm afraid it's inconvenient to let them go to another place after this matter is separated."

Jia She said: "The old lady is very thoughtful. I have thought about this matter. Naturally, I love my niece Yuan Chun. As an uncle, I will not embarrass her. I will definitely let her get out of the gate of the Rongguo Mansion." It was carried out in a splendid manner. In addition, my nephew Zhuer also has to take the exam, so I can’t be disturbed to move, but other people have to make room.”

Hearing what Jia She said, Shi Feier felt a little relieved.I also know that separation is a matter of time. In the past, because I had a lot of worries, I always felt that the timing was not right, but now looking at this time, it is a good opportunity.Now that Jia Amnesty is being considerate in his actions, he can feel at ease, so let him handle this matter.Then he opened his mouth and said: "Since you think well, I will follow you. Just follow the routine, and try your best to do everything well and neatly."

Jia Amnesty nodded, carefully put away the letter on the table and put it in his pocket.
