188 I don't know how to cherish the opportunity(2/2)
Of course, Shi Zhongkui was not willing to be blamed for nothing, so he smiled and said, "Second uncle, in every house and house, who hasn't ordered food or food?
Even if you suffer a loss, it is just a waste of money every year.
In addition, the eldest sister has only been a concubine for a short time, and it is the time when the fire is cooking and the scenery is endless.
The most important thing in your house is not to focus on such trivial matters.
What I fear the most are those outhouses and stewards who work under the guise of the Jia family.
These people rely on the power of their masters. If they are just doing business, they can make some money.
But once you act recklessly, you will destroy people's homes and lives.
Throughout the ages, the reputations of many wealthy and distinguished families have been ruined by domestic slaves.
Generally speaking, officials and censors often focus on this kind of thing, so we have to guard against it."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but fall silent after hearing these words.
Shi Zhongkui's words made it clear that the stewards and side houses of the Jia family were doing mischief outside under the name of the Jia family.
Jia Lian was so frightened that he didn't dare to express his anger, and he didn't even dare to wink at Shi Zhongkui.
As the head of the family, Shi Zhongkui had the same attitude as Jia Zheng and even Jia Zhen on this matter, so how could Jia Lian dare to ask him why he would mention such a thing.
But as a descendant of the Jia family who specializes in foreign affairs, Jia Lian knows the secrets here very well.
Before he entered into business partnership with Shi Zhongkui, he himself was one of the people who benefited from it.
If you really check it carefully, you will find a big hole in the custody.
The housekeepers at home, as well as Jia Qiang, Jia Qin and others who were in charge of a certain purchase in the Grand View Garden, were sure of everything. Even Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Jia She couldn't even think of it easy.
"Alas," Jia Zheng sighed heavily, "what my nephew said is true, but this matter is too important and needs to be considered in the long term."
Shi Zhongkui sneered in his heart, what a long-term plan, but he just didn't have the courage to expose this matter.
This matter is settled like this.
Jia Zhen didn't mention the matter of finding out the mole. Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but sneered. From now on, the Jia family will be so poor that they can't even maintain their family business. There will be times when you regret it.
In response to Jia Zheng and Jia Lian's entreaties, they took the sedan that had been rushed over to the palace and stopped by the Jia family to personally inform Jia Mu.
Shi Zhongkui secretly thought that if Jia Zheng didn't agree, it would be hard for him to take the opportunity to check on the Lai family. After all, this was an internal matter within the Jia family.
If a person interferes in other people's affairs, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the Jia family in the end, the nobles and officials will definitely scold him for meddling in other people's affairs.
The head of the family does not necessarily know many things, but he does not want the family scandal to be publicized.
In this world where status is determined by imperial examinations and official positions, if the Lian family is not managed well, how can one still be an official?
However, Jia Zheng's disagreement does not mean that Shi Zhongkui has no other way to focus on the Lai family.
Even Jia Zheng's attitude of just trying to cover up is actually better.
If he really found out that there was something wrong with the Lai family, he would only think about how to cover it up, and then his chances of getting the garden would be greater.
No, anyway, I am not short of money. What I am short of is the time to build a yard and the difficulty of buying a large piece of land in the capital close to the imperial city.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is safest to spend money to buy the newly built garden.
That's not right, why should I give them money when I helped the Jia family?
There is no such good thing in the world.
Even relatives, unless they are their mother, father and brothers, are not such selfless people.
Shi Zhongkui knew in his heart that there were actually such people, and there were quite a few of them.
Even in ancient societies where family values were very important, there were many people who helped relatives even if they lost money.
On the contrary, in modern society, people are indifferent to others, and they regard selfless people as fools to laugh at and abuse.
It can only be said that life has gotten better, but his heart has become colder. Shi Zhongkui himself has no choice but to follow the trend.
That's why he developed this selfish character and doesn't want to suffer losses in anything he does.
