Returning the Way (21)

The Xue family and the Jia family coordinated, they knew they knew. No matter what happened, the Jia family’s garden was still built. Even if it was in a cold weather, they still started construction.

This led to the business around the area getting better.

For example, the Yu family’s small restaurant is basically a shift change, and it doesn’t take a break for twelve hours. The pot is bone radish soup, and then it is braised with water to a pot, such as stir-fried cabbage, cold radish, various pickles, and thick porridge in more than a dozen pots in the kitchen. The shop can’t sit down, so the workers squatted at the door to eat. They each brought their own bowls, either buying a bowl of porridge for one cent, or asking for half a bowl of soup for two cents, and eating them with the dry food they brought, making it hot.

There are people who keep pulling food on the construction site at night. These people have high wages. In the middle of the night, they find a clean restaurant nearby. They have to serve side dishes and liquor to drive away the cold. It is the most pleasant.

Shao Hua told Lin Yutong that you must have dozens of taels of silver recorded a day.

The Jia family looked down on such small money, but they didn't know that it would be a profit of less than 10,000 taels to be built by their homes in such a scattered way.

The Fourth Master also started construction on the other side of the mountain and told Yu Liang in advance.

So, a shed was built early, temporarily allocated people, and a temporary restaurant was opened. Some women in the village also made a living. Just washing and tidying up the work can be enough to support the whole family.

The Fourth Master went out this day, and Lin Yutong was not idle at home, so she was making clothes for her children.

There were snowflakes floating outside, but the daffodils in the house were blooming just in time. The young lady was in her own house, embroidering the fourth sister. She said she asked someone to ask her what she wanted to eat today, but she came to report outside that it was Baoyu.

Why did Jia Baoyu, this phoenix egg come here?

Lin Yutong asked someone to welcome him to the main hall in front, and then she wrapped her cloak out.

On this cold day, I didn't stay at home and went out to play with my sisters, so I just came out and ran around. I told the old lady to know, but what should I do? Lin Yutong saw that he reached out and wanted to support her. What she was most impatient about was that the two of them held hands face to face. Seeing that he reached out, she handed over the stove in her hand: Cover it up quickly.

He took it and smiled shyly, then he said: Is there something wrong with finding Sister Tong?

Lin Yutong couldn't think of any serious things he could do, so she responded casually. It was just a matter of children playing and making fun of them, and it was no big deal.

Jia Baoyu came over: Do you know Rong'er's wife's brother?

Qin Zhong?

Lin Yutong thought about it deliberately and said: It’s the Qin family’s boy, but he met him in a daze. What’s wrong?

It has been a year since Qin Keqing died.

When Jia Baoyu heard Lin Yutong still remembered, he hurriedly said: Sister doesn't know, now the Qin family is also ruined. The Qin family has gone, and Qin Zhong is sick again. Even a reliable family member is not even a reliable family member. I asked someone to bring money to him, but where can I find a doctor? I dare not ask the old lady to tell her. The second sister-in-law is busy again, and she really has no choice. When she went out, she didn't know who to ask for, so she thought of Sister Tong. She originally wanted to find a cousin from the Yu family, but her cousin went out with the second brother. I don't know how soon or later I will come back. I'll come here. I can see if I can ask Sister Tong to invite an imperial physician to go there.

Who can invite the imperial physician if you want?

Moreover, Qin Zhong is so taboo! He dares to hire an imperial physician.

Lin Yutong said: OK, I will beat me and take you over. Find a good doctor and grab two good medicines. You don’t have to worry about anything else. I dare not keep you when you come out. I will definitely hit a few more people and I will only feel at ease if I send you back and hand it to the old lady.

The servant came to ask someone to beat a servant from the family and took Baoyu's servant to the house. The servant came forward and paid the bills by his servant.

After finishing the matter, the person below came in and reported that the doctor just said that it was called preparing for the funeral, but it seemed that it was useless. When asked what the disease was, it was so whimpering that it was so whimpering that it was so whimpering that it was so whimpering that it was so whimpering.

Lin Yutong was a little aware of it. It was not that she couldn't tell the reason, either she was not diagnosed or even though she didn't know how the disease was, she roughly guessed the cause, so it was hard to say.

It’s all right to let it go. If you send Baoyu back, Jia Mu would probably detain Baoyu and would not tell Baoyu about these messy things.

I was busy talking, this year's New Year is coming.

The New Year gifts distributed by the clan are more than one year. This year, five trucks were sent. Their own food and food were endless. Fortunately, they were divided into three portions. Jia Shuqian calculated one portion, and gave one portion to the Yu family, Qi family and Zhang family, and the remaining one portion was left for the New Year.

Now the gifts at home are not only for the Yu family, but also for the Qi family and the Zhang family are also serious in-laws. In the second half of the year, the Fourth Master had already sent Jia Xia directly to the Qi family's academy and went to the school under his father-in-law. The Fourth Master also bought a small village at the foot of the mountain where the academy was located and built another yard. Jia Xia could occasionally live in his own yard.

But this also shows the position. If the Qi family is willing to marry their daughter, they can ask the couple to live there.

This is the most considerate arrangement for families who love their daughter.

The Qi family is halfway up the mountain, and the Jia family's small village is at the foot of the mountain. It is most convenient to sit in a sedan chair for only a quarter of an hour.

Jia Xia came back when she was free and said that it was excellent there and that her mother-in-law took good care of her very carefully. Now, as the New Year is coming, someone asked someone to give her the New Year gift, and they also gave her a gift, but Jia Xia has not come back yet. She only told her that she would come back before the New Year.

I thought I had to wait until the 27th and 8th day of the twelfth lunar month before I saw someone. But I couldn’t bring this back within three days, Jia Xia came back.

It was dark when I came back, and it was time for curfew.

I was afraid that something was wrong. The Fourth Master said, so he went to the front yard.

Lin Yutong ordered people to prepare meals and went forward as well.

When I went in, I heard the two brothers talking.

Jia Xia's voice was a little anxious: He said he was from the mansion, but the girl was a distant relative of the Qi family. The family was a bit difficult. He was from a serious family and was not an actor. Why did he buy it? My mother cried all the way to Beijing and found my Yue family. This was not a slap in the face. My father-in-law asked me to go over and ask me if there was any misunderstanding. I said that I had only been home for half a year, but I was not very clear. So I went back to ask.

Lin Yutong understood it. He said that when Jiangnan bought actors, it seemed that he had forced a serious girl.

Jia Zhen sent Jia Qiang to this matter, but beat Lai’s two sons, and Shan Pinren and Bu Gu Xiu were accompanied.

When I went to Jiangnan, I didn’t bring any money at all, saying that I wanted to move the 50,000 taels of the Zhen family.

The 50,000 taels of the Zhen family were the money they gave to others in the first place.

I want to buy 30,000 taels of them, and the remaining ones are kept for 20,000 miles, and I keep them for buying lanterns, candles, tents and other things.

But whoever buys this will cost 30,000 taels of silver.

A neat girl only costs twenty or thirty taels of silver, and a hundred or ten taels of silver that have learned opera. Even if you buy a hundred, it is not worth thirty thousand taels. These people not only missed the money, but also secretly bought girls from good families for other purposes.

The Fourth Master frowned: Go wash up, eat and rest. Tomorrow, after the city gate is opened, go out early. I will compile a book and leave it to your father-in-law. For the rest, you can just follow your father-in-law's orders.

Can this matter be managed? Jia Xia is a little uncertain.

Can you ignore it? The Fourth Master beat him: If you don’t care, your wife will probably not be able to marry her.

Jia Xia felt a little embarrassed, laughed twice, and then said: The mansion is getting more and more arrogant now. If the gate of the Marquis Cheng'en's mansion is closed, aren't you waiting for guests? There are two children in the academy, both of whom are nephews of the empress's family. They are usually very low-key, humble, and never bully others with their power. But the mansion is so good that sometimes when I hear their behavior, I feel embarrassed to face my classmates.

As he said that, when he saw Lin Yutong coming in, he quickly saluted: Sister-in-law is fine. As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong's belly again: Is nephew good?

All are fine! Lin Yutong urged him: Go and rest quickly, ask someone to send you food, and rest early. Everything is worrying about your brother.

After knocking Jia Xia away, she went over to grind and saw the Fourth Master writing.

One letter was given to the Qi family, and the other letter was given to King Zhongshun.

These two letters became the last straw that crushed the Zhen family.

It’s the New Year after Laba, but on this day in Laba, the drums were ringing.

The Jia family, which was in full swing in the capital, was sued and sued them for buying a good girl.

When the news reached the Jia family, Jia Zheng was furious and called Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to scold him. Is Jia Lian wronged or not? This matter was arranged by Jia Zhen. When he found out, he asked Jia Qiang specifically, telling him that although this matter was not very big, there was something hidden inside.

But they didn't take these words to heart.

After coming out of the study room and going back to change clothes, Wang Xifeng was very happy and said: I said these little guys were not going to be a job at all. You said you had never eaten pork or saw pigs running, just said I was worried. It was not a big deal for them to get some money behind their backs, but they were afraid that what was involved was not a matter of money. I am the old man in the business, and when I went out, I wanted to call my cousin from the Yu family. The two of them had a lot of money, but they were afraid that one of them would accidentally step into the mud?

That's good! They let go one by one. Now that they are causing trouble, they ask me to go out and do some things. Do you think that asking others to do things is so easy to do? I really think that anyone who has a grandmother can buy our face? It's so dying. What should I do to buy someone's good girl? Who was not born by my mother? If anyone kidnapped our eldest sister, we must not fight with others. Don't let others do what you don't want, do such unethical things. What should I tell them to tell them?

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, just served him in dress. Looking at his face, she whispered: This cannot be said to be our family ignore it. Why did so many families forcefully buy their girls? There are always bad things in their family.

Just Hu Qin. Jia Lian pulled the clothes and didn't want her to serve him: There is something bad about others? The bad about others is that the girls in the family are good-looking, poor, and they are unlucky, so they are attracted to them. I don't know if they use methods to throw away a few silver and take them away. It would be fine if they say this, but you are still saying this at home. You dare to support this outside and see if someone spits on your face.

While talking, he took the cloak and hurried out: I quickly prepare 10,000 taels of silver, and I am ready to ask someone to send it to Brother Heng. I have to make up this matter with him.

Wang Xifeng was so full of words that he was blocked, and Ping'er said: I'll take the money now.

Stop. Wang Xifeng waved his hand: Why should we take this money from us? This mess was not caused by the people I sent out. As he said that, he asked someone to serve and dress: prepare a carriage! Go to the East Mansion.

The carriage entered the East Mansion, and there was no servant who was not flattering.

Before she could report it, she went straight inside. She scolded the person who wanted to report it and didn't dare to move.

It can be seen how powerful this has accumulated after being in charge of the East Mansion.

Jia Rong rushed over and was slapped by Wang Xifeng.

He was stunned for a moment and smiled, walked to the ground and knelt down, hugged Wang Xifeng's legs: My aunt was angry, just look at her son. The sons were not good, and they caused trouble for her aunt again.

Has caused trouble for me? Wang Xifeng spat: How did your uncle tell me that day? As a result, all the turtles were not given to me. Where is your mother? Don’t mess around here, I can’t tell you, I just told you to go.

As he said that, he kicked Jia Rong away and went straight inside.

Seeing that Jia Zhen couldn't escape, she had to smile with her: Why is the eldest sister here?

Why am I here? How could I not come? Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows and his eyes stood up: The Zhen family had only tens of thousands of taels of silver, and how many things were directed at that. What was the result? When you hit people, what were you doing sneakily? What did you want to pay the freed place into silver and make it back? You didn't put it in, but you just asked us to pay in so many silver and have to fall in love with us.

He just said that Jia Qiang did something privately because of Jia Zhen's instructions. Even the initial willingness to cut out the garden in the East Mansion was to build the garden because he was unwilling to do so. He was generous on the outside but gave kickbacks in private.

All Jia Zhen said changed his face: The eldest sister dared not say that, it made me look unsightly. As she said that, she scolded You Shi: It was so hard to do it, and she didn't even take 10,000 taels of silver bills.

But where did Youshi have ten thousand taels? He looked embarrassed and was spitted fiercely by Wang Xifeng. Jia Zhen took advantage of this time and asked the person who served him to go to the account to pay the silver bill.

Wang Xifeng didn't want anyone else to give it to him after taking the silver, so she personally gave it to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian talked to the Fourth Master in the study, and Lin Yutong answered Wang Xifeng at the second door and asked someone to send the things to Jia Lian.

Wang Xifeng and Lin Yutong went to the back and talked: Where did the savage come from? What a frivolous complaint? Could it be that someone came to the mansion and said, "Will we return it to their daughters?" Or are we the harsh family who want to fight to death? Look at the family, our girls may not be able to catch up with other people's sisters. If you want to let a few people go out, they cry and shout that they don't want to go out. I don't know that there are still such people in this world who don't know what's going on. They come to their homes to enjoy happiness, but they think they suffer. The seeds of unreliable cause such a thing. They just told me to suffer a lot.

Lin Yutong said: Everyone has their own ambitions, but some people are unwilling to leave me. If you buy people back, it would be fine if you just send them to the mansion. You are afraid of being shameful and causing harm to other people's good girls. Then you can send people to that dirty place, or just make a dirty place to go freely. Can you know all this?

Wang Xifeng glared: Brother Qiang had eaten Xiongxin and leopard courage, and he didn't dare to do this.

Lin Yutong smiled: Brother Qiang doesn't have the courage to do this. But I'm afraid that Brother Qiang is not the one who makes the decision. Think about it, who in this mansion can have the courage to hide the truth? Not to mention anything else, just talk about the Lai family. The Lai family also built a garden at home. The garden is not as big as yours, but in this way, it naturally has to use about half of yours. Where did this silver come from? How much is this half? For those who have three melons and two jujubes, you have calculated it like this, and it's only 1,800 taels of silver a year. I wonder how many people curse secretly. Don't you know that your silver passed by someone else and didn't peel off a layer of skin. She reminded: It's right for the servant to be the master's family, but there are still people who are not the master's family?

Wang Xifeng really didn’t know the matter of building a garden there, but it shows how much it was hidden. The turtle calf, where did the materials for building a garden come from?

Lin Yutong said that this was not meant to expose this matter in advance. It was really a bit disgusting to build the Lai family garden.

The Jia family's garden, east and west mansions, and the servant's house was demolished, so that he could get enough. But where did the land of the Lai family come from? Many families in Yuliang all broke the yard to their houses. The main entrance of the Yu family could not say that they would have to face the back wall of the Lai family's garden in the future.

That's fine, the key is that Yu Liang said that Sun Shaozu gave the house to the Lai family for free. The Lai family helped Sun Shaozu take the Jia family's post to the Ministry of Personnel, not knowing whether Jia She or Jia Zheng knew about it.

If this happened, Wang Xifeng probably refused to touch the Lai family, and no one said it would be useless. But now that there is this lawsuit, can Wang Xifeng not touch the Lai family?

What a great excuse!

Jia Lian was the one who took out all the money in the oil pan to spend. Wang Xifeng was even more serious than Jia Lian. She dared to spend the money she got from the sea of ​​blood. What's more, the Lai family's charges were all ready-made.

Besides, what about such a large sum of silver? The master was making a fuss at home, and no matter how he calculated the money, the slave was just home.

After comparing the past and the next, I felt unbalanced.

When Lin Yutong said this, Wang Xifeng narrowed her eyes: There are so many things?
To be continued...
