There is no sound of silk and bamboo orchestra, nor the tune of the nine palaces in the north and south. At the intersection of Dingchou and Wuyin, as in previous years, he opened a temple to worship ancestors and worshiped portraits of ancestors in Jia Mu's room. The only difference is that the scale of extravagance has been slightly reduced, burning incense, laying blankets, and eating are much worse than before.

Jia Mu chose her own flower hall as a place for reunion during the New Year, with men, women, young and old, and four generations living together.

The chief was Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng served, and Jia She and Jia Zheng were the second seat, followed by Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Jia Qiang. Sanchun was one table, Daiyu and Baochai served, relatives Xing family was one table, Xing Xiuyan was one table, relatives Li family was one table, Li Wen, Li Qi were on the list, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were not on the list.

However, this order was disrupted by Jia Mu. The ancestors called Sanchun and Daiyu. Baochai came to sit with her and said, "My sister-in-law, please let the Fengmei and the others serve me, Daiyu and Baochai serve me, the old woman."

Wang Xifeng pretended to be wronged and sighed: "Sister-in-law Zhu and I are unlucky people. The two sisters have entered our house now and are also sisters-in-law and sister-in-law."

The mother-in-law serving the woman next to him smiled reluctantly, but Jia Mu liked her and said with a smile: "This is mine, you don't have to serve you, just sit down and let the girls serve you."

In addition, there are several other seats, which were tribe members whom Jia Mu ordered to come in for the sake of fun, including Lou, the mother of Jia Jun.

Jia Zheng glanced at him: "Why didn't Lan'er see you?"

Li Wan stood up and returned to her father-in-law: "He was not very happy and didn't come."

"Why is this weird and weird!" Jia Zheng said: "Call the servant outside the second gate to invite him, and call Huan'er too."

Mrs. Wang's girl Caixia, Caiyun immediately went out to give orders. After a moment, Jia Lan and Jia Huan came in to report to the table. Both of them were remarkable, but Jia Lan looked serious and gentle, and Jia Huan was so stingy and irritable.

Jia Zheng has experienced ups and downs in his official career and his mood has changed drastically. He is far from being a few years earlier. He often beats and scolds and scolds him, and has no expression on his face: "I heard that Lan'er has participated in the children's examination?"

Li Wan said: "I have just passed the palace examination and have not passed the college examination. I will have to practice for a few years."

"It is good to teach children." Jia Zheng commended: "Apart from Cong'er, Lan'er can be a rising star."

Li Wan replied: "It is also due to Brother Cong's contribution. Their uncle and nephew often discuss knowledge. If it weren't for him to give advice, it would be too early for Lan'er to refer to it."

Jia Zheng ordered the reward of Jia Cong and Jia Lan, but did not reward Baoyu. Jia Huan snorted coldly in his heart, but Jia Baoyu didn't care, and the chief Mrs. Wang was also quite dissatisfied.

Jia Lan sat shyly in the seat of the relative Li family. Wang Ren, Xing Zhong, and Li Wan widowed sister-in-law met together in Beijing. Li Wen and Li Qi's mother were also widows. Jia Cong looked at him. It seemed that Jia Lan also liked her cousin...

Mrs. Wang was angry and smiled: "A few days ago, I heard that Cong'er asked someone to beat Zhou Rui's family. This was not a big deal and could not be on the table. But if she had any fault, she should reply to me first and hand it over to me for treatment."

As soon as the words came, everyone's eyes slowly moved towards Jia Cong, and Jia Cong immediately became the focus.

With his ancestors here, Mrs. Wang was kind and polite. Mrs. Wang didn't say much during the banquets on weekdays. Mrs. Jia once said that she was like a wood and had a joke and pity. Today, Mrs. Wang's words were tantamount to accuse Jia Cong of her elders. Many people were secretly surprised.

But if you see through it and don’t say it out loud, everyone knows it well.

Jia Zheng ignored the civil affairs in that matter. He didn't know that except for playing chess with Qingke's husband and talking nonsense, he was not interested in these things. Yuanyang and others did not reply to Jia Mu, because this matter was big or small, and there was no need to involve Jia Mu, for fear that she would be unhappy.

Therefore, Jia Mu turned around and muttered to Yuanyang: "There is still this matter?"

Yuanyang bent down his tall figure and whispered: "Old lady, this is not a big deal. I thought they could handle it..."

As a fair man, Yuanyang could see that Mrs. Wang was very sinister and forced Jin Chuan to death, so she made them sad and hurt their kind. Now this scene was clearly jealous of Mr. Cong’s property, and she wanted to take it into her pocket in a variety of ways.

Yuanyang had to report truthfully that he could tell from the fact that he was a great grandson wife to the one who also had a great grandson wife.

Jia She looked at the body of Yuanyang, who was like a snake, and loved and hated. Yuanyang's oval face, shoulders were cut, and was very beautiful and full of flesh. He hated that he failed to marry her and was attacked by Yuanyang and was wiped out with majesty. This thorn could not be pulled out unless Yuanyang died.

After a moment of regaining consciousness, I realized that my younger brother and sister had attacked their son. Jia She and Mrs. Xing sneered.

Jia Cong didn't stand up and replied, "The Zhou Rui family wanted my money to be returned to the bank treasury of the Xifu. I think it's more appropriate to be assigned to the clan leader. The slaves will deduct it as soon as they change hands. This is one of them. The third sister, sister-in-law Zhu, and Baochai, who assisted the housekeeper, know the best. However, the comprador is still deducted so much, let alone the Zhou Rui family?"

"The mansion has the custom of giving ceremonies to old and highly meritorious servants, but the second wife and Zhou Rui family are not part of this rank, and this is the second one."

"Even in order to show the kindness of the master, he is mostly ungrateful. I dare to ask the second master, Lai Shangrong, the governor of Zhengzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, did he remember the kindness of our mansion?"

Jia Zhengyi was indifferent and said with a wry smile: "When I returned to Beijing that day, I didn't have enough money. I borrowed some from Magistrate Lai and he gave me ten taels."

"This is the third one." Jia Cong put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Why do our Jia family have internal worries? There are external worries? As the saying goes, everything will be prosperous in harmony, but the family will be uneasy, and external worries will be difficult. As the saying goes, if a good wife in the family, men will not suffer any disaster."

Mrs. Wang's face looked extremely ugly.

Wang Xifeng also knew that Jia Cong was powerful, but she didn't know that he was so powerful.

The three counterattacks are all at the heart, every sentence is to the point, and the conflicts between the masters are transferred to the contradictions between the masters and the slaves. The first two points mean that the slaves who should be cleaned up must be cleaned up. At this point, Jia Mu did not tolerate slaves, and Jia Mu also resolutely drove them out of the slaves who gambling and drinking.

No matter how decent and powerful the Zhou Rui family is, she is still a slave. Even if Jia Cong is born in a vain, he is still the master, so there is no problem.

The problem is Mrs. Wang's face. Jia Cong avoided talking about it, and Mrs. Wang's various behaviors obviously lost people's hearts.

Especially "A good wife in the family will not suffer a sudden disaster", which can be said to be a double talk. Jia Cong is soaring, and his good wife Baochai has indeed helped him manage a lot of family affairs without any worries. And Jia Zheng was dismissed from his post and suffered a sudden disaster, which means...

The cleverness is that he does not refer to his names, but talks in general terms. If he is flexible, he understands that Jia Cong is ridiculing Mrs. Wang, and this method cannot be said to be rude.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, but Jia Cong's rebuttal was not over yet. He said, "Brother Qiang, please tell me."

Jia Qiang stood up: "It's better for all the masters and wives to know that Uncle Cong brought the money he received from the books and reviewed the texts and gave it to the clan general account. Some of the accounts in it were candles, soaps and other dividends from shops. Uncle Cong and his people all participated in the shares. The accounts can be checked at any time, without deducting them. The food on the table, the utensils for ancestor worship, and other items, and the curtain pads of each room were added. A considerable part of them were produced by Uncle Cong..."

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and said that Mrs. Wang was obviously out of place and was so confused about her work.

Jia Cong gave the money to the clan account, taking into account the whole clan and understanding the righteousness. No one can say that Jia Cong is not. Now some people are fighting back while eating Jia Cong's hard-earned money. Are they shameless?

Jia Cong asked Jia Qiang to come forward to indicate this meaning!

Jia Cong's candles and soap shops have a considerable income, and there is no problem in paying taxes legally. These stores are added because they cannot be concealed. The clan has protected him and repaying the clan is not unacceptable. However, no one can get involved in Yangzhou Bookstore and Suzhou land!

Jia Cong is not crazy about using other money to support Mrs. Wang Xifeng who doesn't like him.

Mrs. Wang was sick because her parents' family was declining, and she was even more uncomfortable at this time. She couldn't help but feel resentful and stared at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng had to bite the bullet and come forward: "Brother Cong, it's good for you to do this, but Zhou Rui's family is his wife's companion."

Jia Cong's eyes turned cold and he retorted: "Sister-in-law Lian, you used to pay for the seal money and accepted all kinds of bribes based on the relationship between the Wang family. Where is the money?! Have you ever given a penny to the clan?! Now, what are your faces to say to me?! Who gave you a face?! This is shameless!"

Wang Xifeng turned around in anger and didn't look at Mrs. Wang. She had all the money she had filled with her own pockets, so why would she be willing to take it out? She didn't even give Jia Lian! What's more, others!

Wang Xifeng was counterattacked by Jia Cong so much that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it!
