Chapter 16
Jia Mu is a relatively enlightened old man, and it is obvious that Sanchun studied together, but she was too spoiled by Jia Baoyu, which caused Jia Baoyu to be incompetent and even incompetent. When Jia Zheng beat Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu did not hesitate to turn against Jia Zheng.
In addition, Jia Mu is a hedonist who often sends Jia She and Jia Zheng at banquets. It can be said that it is for the sake of her grandchildren being unrestrained, but it can also be said that it is for the sake of Jia Mu's own enjoyment. Putting aside Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are also the ones she loves the most.
It is a custom for the people of the times, and there are many examples of people today. Jia Mu was born in the Shi Family Marquis family. His ancestors were Baoling Hou Shangshu Ling, Baoling Hou, Marquis, and Shangshu Ling, which was equivalent to the prime minister. Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once held this position. Currently, the Shi Family has Baoling Hou Shi Nai, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, and a two-marquis, and is naturally prominent. Therefore, Jia Mu and Shi Xiangyun were the daughter of the Marquis family and were born as a lady. From the bottom of their hearts, Jia Mu discriminated against Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who were born to slaves, and also had the intention of covering up Wang Xifeng, but they just didn't say it.
In front of me, Jia Cong directed and acted by himself. How many girls outside the door heard about it? Besides, Sanchun, Li Wan, Dai, and Chai saw it before. It was inevitable that it would spread throughout the Western Palace. Moreover, Jia Cong was not aggressive and unreasonable, but was working step by step, which was reasonable. Jia Mu could no longer be out of the matter and had to come up with a common judgment. This situation was created by the eight-year-old concubine Jia Cong. Jia Mu was undecided and her mood was complicated.
However, she is also the one who comes from the housekeeper's wife. She ordered the son of the mandarin duck to pass on Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to verify the evidence. Is the money delayed in the monthly bill? These two are Jia Zheng's concubines. Aunt Zhao is ridiculous and has no brains, and Aunt Zhou is just doing it.
...
Aunt Zhao was dressed brightly, and he was a slave from his family. Yuanyang was also a slave from his family. Both his parents were slaves from the Jia family. Aunt Zhao came in to pay his respects and knelt down and wiped tears with a veil in his hand and cried: "Old lady, I can testify. Grandma Lian is extremely majestic. Not only did she delay the issuance of monthly banknotes, but she also embezzled the official banknotes and placed seals. The old lady didn't believe it, so she could ask others."
Aunt Zhou saw the vicious look handed over by Wang Xifeng, and she was in awe of fear and said, "I don't know whether to use it or not, but the time for monthly issuance is delayed."
Aunt Zhao had insufficient IQ and was not aware of being used as a gun by an old woman in the Grand View Garden. Mu Jia, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. Wang all disliked her. Jia Cong didn't have much hope for Aunt Zhao, but it was just a little bit of fire. The brainless Aunt Zhao even spitted and said randomly. She was scolded by Mrs. Wang and stepped down, and Aunt Zhou also stepped down.
"Okay, it's okay to shirk responsibility in this matter. There should be a situation. Don't worry, I won't favor anyone." Jia Mu was a little tired, but if this continues, she will definitely favor Wang Xifeng.
"Thank you for your kindness, and you will see it clearly." Wang Xifeng bowed and turned around, hiding his contempt and contempt for his brother-in-law in his heart, and smiled like a flower: "Ancestor, I don't blame Brother Cong, I just want my ancestors to make a decision."
Is it over like that? Then I will waste my energy!
Jia Cong smiled and changed the subject, and said worriedly: "The old lady is clear about it. However, those three people who borrowed money from other families would rather fight to the death, saying that they wanted to write a lawsuit and sue Sister Lian..."
"What?" If someone sued him, what kind of face is Wang Xifeng? Wouldn't the Jia family's good reputation be defiled? Jia Mu changed her color and said, "Where did you sue?"
"Shuntian Mansion." Jia Cong replied.
Why is it not the Xicheng Censorate but the Shuntian Prefecture? Jia Cong has learned in detail that Wang Xifeng forced You Erjie to death, and in one step he wrote and bribed the Xicheng Hall official. How could he sue it? The latter is different. Shuntian Prefecture is a third-rank yamen, two levels higher than an ordinary prefect, holding silver seals, and being the governor of a provincial governor and governor. Shuntian Prefecture is even the six-department hall official and adjutant. Wang Xifeng and Wang Ziteng can cover the sky with one hand? Not necessarily.
There is another level, do Luo Gaocai and the other two dare to sue? Of course, I dare not. This is Jia Cong's plan, and he borrowed the three of them to use the literary contract. At this time, it was a blackmail, in order to force Jia Mu to retreat first, and to let Luo Gaocai and the other two get part of the compensation, which is a win-win cooperation.
In other words, Jia Cong focused his attack points on Wang Xifeng, creating an atmosphere: because of Wang Xifeng, the so-called reputation of the Jia family is dangerous from the inside to the outside. The royal scandal has never been circulated because it will shake their reputation and reputation. No matter how dirty or smelly things are, they must be covered in, and they will become moldy and rotten, and the same is true for noble families.
What's more, Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion, has already entered the palace. How could the "reputation" of the Jia family not affect Jia Yuanchun's enthronement? Seeing the tiny, can Jia Mu still lean towards Wang Xifeng?
The last level is Jia Cong himself. He could only bite him to death and was dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng's deduction, so he did this. Even though Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang suspected that this matter was led by him, who knows the truth? Wang Xifeng has the power and the backstage, so how many things are still hidden from the world. Does Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang know?
...
"It is hard to provoke troublemakers! It is hard to provoke troublemakers!" Jia Muslim spoke very fast: "Feng girl, I can't resist them by handing over the extra profits and moneymakers. I am not afraid of the Imperial Hospital. Will the mansion be afraid of Shuntian Mansion? But, this matter cannot be spread! It must not be spread!"
"Old lady..." Wang Xifeng's face turned pale. Is Jia Mu confirming that she had given money privately?
"Old lady, I'd better take Meitu Feng back first." Mrs. Xing said: "Cong'er is not at fault."
"Old lady, Meitu Feng is the leader of my family. I am responsible for my mistakes. The old lady will punish me together." Mrs. Wang stood up.
Mrs. Wang only said that she had only "responsibility for failure to observe". Obviously, she saw that the situation was not good and did not want to speak for Wang Xifeng. Thinking about the true thoughts of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, her aunt and aunt, Mrs. Wang, Wang, suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted on the ground, holding Yuanyang and supporting her hard.
Jia Cong glanced at Mrs. Wang slightly and then withdrew his gaze. Mrs. Wang was much better than Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng made an excuse to send Jia Lian's wife away, but she was afraid that others would think she was jealous and wanted to cover up, so she forced her confidant Ping'er to make a wife home for Jia Lian, and there were also a specified number of times she visited each year.
What did Mrs. Wang do? She tolerated Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, who took the opportunity to retreat and advance and tried to get.
In feudal society, women were jealous, had no children, talked too much, were sick, and were unfilial, and were listed in the seven major items.
Wang Xifeng had several cases of "seven out", so the ending was "one after two, three people were ordered to die, and the matter of crying to Jinling was even more sad."
Mrs. Wang is much smarter than her niece Wang Xifeng, and she tolerated Zhao. The two aunts Zhou did not say that Aunt Zhao and her maid Caiyun had stole things together. Mrs. Wang "turned a blind eye". Moreover, Mrs. Wang usually eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name, and has kind eyes and pretends too well!
Once Jia Baoyu's reputation was involved, Mrs. Wang showed her talent and used ethics to bind the woman. She forced Jin Chuan to jump into the well after a few words. When Lao Wang heard this, she shed tears of hypocrisy.
Si'er said that he had the same birthday as Baoyu and was going to be a couple on the same birthday. He was driven away by Lao Wang. Qingwen didn't stick to the teeth for four or five days, so she died when she was driven out. Fangguan and others were given to the nunnery by Lao Wang's "kind and generous" and "the pretty maid was accused of being romantic, and the beautiful actors died in love." What's the real inside story? The old nun only turned Fangguan and others into errands who were hardworking...
Of course, objectively speaking, Qingwen and Fangguan have their own places to commit suicide. Most of the times do not tolerate women with personality, especially slaves with personality.
Mrs. Wang’s disguise, based on the feudal era, is not picky about women. This is where she is better than Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng’s reputation is not good. Now that the story of her niece is revealed, Mrs. Wang has to stand up, but she wants to kick Wang Xifeng away and help me lead the family? Or is it embarrassing me? At the same time, for her nephew Jia Cong who caused the incident, her son also wants to compete for the battle? Is the eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Xing unable to sit still? Whether Jia Cong is wronged first or not, she doesn’t want to consider whether she thinks about it, and she also has to start from her own interests...
...
The money python forging clothes on Mrs. Wang is not dazzling, it looks noble, decent and generous. Seeing that the sister-in-law both stood up, her mind was different, she pondered: "No need to say about this matter, but it also involves Wang's face. You are the one who is responsible for this family... Those three troublemakers are nothing more than claiming compensation and giving it away with some money. Lai Wang and his wife, I will personally interrogate them. According to Cong'er's words, no one is allowed to interfere. As for whether Feng Yao wants to be the leader..."
Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng, who had never forgotten to please her, and was unable to make a decision. She made a decision: "Okay, Mei Feng is not in good health. She will go back to the hospital to raise her first. I will come here to pay my respects sooner or later. I will ask you this matter clearly. I will answer you, Cong'er..."
Such a complex problem was never expected to be given to her by Jia Cong, who was even worse than Jia Huan! And she could not settle this problem in one go! Now the four major families of Jia Shi, Wang Xue, Jia and Shi families have wealth but no power. Jia regime is not worth much. The Xue family has long been not an official, but the Royal Shang and Wang family Wang Ziteng, who was moved to the nine provinces as the governor of the Jingying Jiedushi, was the pillar... Can the Wang family not consider the Wang family? Without Wang Xifeng, Lai Wang and his wife who were destined to be driven out must tell the truth... Can the reputation of the Jia family not affect Yuanchun in the palace?
The ancestor waved, "Forget it, Cong'er, if you really suffer a grievance, I won't sit idly by. Go down, listen to yours and your mother and study hard."
"My grandson is grateful to the old lady for her impunity." Jia Cong bowed a long time, took a few steps back, lifted the curtain, and walked out leisurely and calmly.
Under the door, Amber, Ping'er, Feng'er, Jinchuan, Caixia... A large group of girls were waiting for their master. Wang Xifeng stepped down the bluestone steps, held her temples with her jade hands, and the big red flower-spreading skirt highlighted her graceful and exquisite posture, which was visible at a glance. The golden necklace, phoenix hairpin, and the stone blue silver rat jacket. As her steps moved slightly, she suddenly felt violent ups and downs in her chest. Ping'er, Feng'er held it and said anxiously: "Grandma..."
Mrs. Wang's face looked a little ugly.
Mrs. Xing raised her eyebrows and had a fat face. She looked up and down, looking left and right. She was full of complacent feelings, and she felt that she was very handsome and proud: her good son was trained by herself, and her bad wife was not the one who helped me lead the family.
On the other hand, Jia Cong had neither the expression of the winner nor the deep worries. These things seemed to be worth mentioning to him and were not worth mentioning. How could the frog in the well see the sky? How could the sparrow know the swan? But the servant Sun Fu, followed the master with complacent complacently, slowly out of the back door, leaving them a chic silhouette.
...
The previous events were all drizzle and breeze. This time it was a storm. The fierce battle between my brother-in-law Jia Cong and sister-in-law Wang Xifeng swept across Rongguo Mansion. Many servants once again saw Cong's methods, and even Ningguo Mansion in the east was heard of.
