[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Mrs. Zhang observed Zhong Jinghou, who had no blood on his face, and felt that this old master must die at the hands of her sister.Mother Jia didn't know if she was used to taking advantage of her brothers, but she never thought that the fact that her own brother was in charge of the house and that her nephew was in charge of the Zhongjinghou's mansion meant something completely different to her.

According to the original book, Shi Xiangyun is the one between historians and Jia's mother who has the most contacts. The two Shihous have rarely come to pay their respects to this aunt.However, Mrs. Jia's loss of foreign aid is very beneficial to Mrs. Zhang. She only cares about whether Zhong Jinghou will agree to Jia's mother's request in the end.

Not surprisingly, Zhong Jinghou went to the old imperial doctor's mansion with Jia's mother's hope, but Zhongjinghou never came to Rongguo mansion again, so he sent a letter to Jia's mother, saying that the old imperial doctor was willing to marry Jia. When my mother filed a lawsuit against the imperial court, if she said a word that was not true, she would die as an apology.

Mrs. Zhang felt relieved, only to realize that it was nearly dusk and Jia She hadn't returned home yet, so she couldn't help thinking again: Jia Lian is still so young, and her body is a housewife, if Jia She hadn't been outside Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were easy to deal with, but before Jia Lian grew up, the Rongguo Mansion had to fall into Jia Zheng's hands when dealing with foreign countries.

Jia Zheng communicated with people on behalf of the Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Wang would get the support of Jia's mother if she wanted to take charge of the house. As a widow, can she burn people again?The Rongguo Mansion caught fire frequently, what would outsiders think?Do you dare to associate with Jia Lian again?

What's more terrible is that when I showed my spatial ability in the last days, those people would pull me away at some point, what would Jia Lian do then?

With such worries, Mrs. Zhang's dinner was useless, she only drank a bowl of porridge and was taken away.Zhang Lai's family wanted to persuade her, but Mrs. Zhang just shook her head and refused to listen, so she had no choice but to withdraw.

At this time, Zhang Xing's family brought Mother Zhao to hold Jia Lian and showed it to Mrs. Zhang. The child grew up fast, and the redness on his face had faded a lot in just two days, but his eyes were open, obviously he couldn't see anything. Also turned east and west to express my curiosity.

"Tomorrow should be my brother's third baptism. Our family can't make a big deal out of filial piety, but we should make preparations. The girl was ill again last night, and the wife was confinement. Those servants have gone to Gao Zhi'er, Lai Everyone didn't even ask." Zhang Xing's family felt wronged for the little master.

Jamin is sick?Mrs. Zhang was only busy monitoring Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, but she really didn't pay attention to how her body was doing in her previous life. She asked Zhang Xing's family: "Miss is sick, did you invite the imperial doctor?"

Seeing that his wife ignored the young master's three baptisms and cared about the girl first, Zhang Xing's family could only sigh - his wife was too soft-tempered and kind-hearted, when other people encountered such a thing, even if they had a good relationship with the girl, I will take my anger out on the old lady, but the wife is still worried that the girl has not invited the imperial doctor.

Zhang Lai's family also said: "Madam, let's worry about our brother's three baptisms. The girl is the old lady's daughter, who would dare to wrong her."

It was her own mother who wronged her that made that sensitive fairy lady fall ill all of a sudden.Mrs. Zhang couldn't explain it to the servants, so she had to say to Zhang Chang's family: "Go and call everyone Lai here. If she uses things to evade, tell her that I am still the head of the house now. Don't be fooled by lard."

Zhang Chang's family was overjoyed when they heard this, and felt that his wife should have become so tough a long time ago.When we brought everyone Lai, we could see that there was an obvious unwillingness on his face, and Mrs. Zhang didn't bother to argue with her, so she just asked, "Have you delivered all the things that brother will wash three tomorrow?"

Everyone Lai bowed down: "Ma'am, all the servants in the main courtyard are busy with the old lady's illness, and I haven't had time to prepare my laundry."

This is really a good slave brought out by Jia Mu.Mrs. Zhang glanced at everyone Lai: "How many slaves are there in the main courtyard, what are they doing, and how many shifts are there? How many people are there in the old lady's yard, and how many shifts are there?"

Everyone Lai knew about it, and what he said didn’t sound like he was hiding anything. Madam Zhang nodded to her approvingly, and before Lai everyone’s face showed any signs of change, she asked the next sentence:

"There are six or seventy people serving in different shifts in the old lady's yard. Could it be that the remaining slaves in the main courtyard have been competing with those six or seventy people for errands, and even let go of their own serious errands?" There was a slap on the table: "Such slaves who only want to climb high branches, what are they doing supporting them!"

Lai's face turned pale and broke out in cold sweat when asked. She knew that she could become the housekeeper's wife because her mother-in-law was the dowry of Jia's mother, so she naturally wanted to flatter the old lady.

However, since Mrs. Zhang was in charge of the house, she found that the eldest lady had a calm face, but she had a sense of confidence in her heart, and she couldn't get through the subtleties of her actions.So while flattering Jia's mother, everyone Lai has never dared to ignore the eldest wife too much.

That is to say, this time the eldest wife and the old lady have already torn their faces. As a slave, she had to choose sides and stand in line, so she deliberately ignored Jia Lian's three baptisms-even if Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were both recovering from their injuries, the East Courtyard The masters of the house were unscathed, and this ritual of baptism is always indispensable. She, the big housekeeper, should personally deliver the things that should be prepared, which is the duty of a housekeeper.

Well now, the eldest lady heard her say that those slaves are serving the old lady's illness, don't ask if the servants are good or how the old lady's illness is, just ask whether the slaves in the old lady's yard are not dedicated, or the slaves from other places Trying to steal the old lady's yard job.

No matter which one you answer, you will offend a large number of slaves.What's more, from the words of the eldest wife, she clearly heard that the servant who climbed high was talking about her own family.

Thinking about the relationship between my mother-in-law and the old lady for many years, and the respect of cats and dogs in the house of the elders in the mansion, everyone felt confident and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mrs. The backbone of the village, the servants are all worried about the old lady’s illness, it’s because of loyalty, it’s not that they don’t care about their errands or want to grab errands.”

Nanny Lai is better at picking daughters-in-law than Mother Jia.Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart, and her words to everyone Lai were still like a knife: "Loyalty, is the loyal slave taking his own serious errands seriously like this? A loyal slave doesn't take the master seriously." ?”

Everyone Lai could only reply dare not, but Mrs. Zhang felt that this was a good opportunity to cut off Jia Mu's arm, so she could not make excuses: "Don't dare, I think you are very brave. Although my brother was only born, you can It is also your master, you have forgotten the matter of the master, and dare to mention loyalty to me?"

Jia Amnesty came in from the outside with a whole body of coldness, and when he heard Mrs. Zhang's words, he asked casually: "Who doesn't pay attention to my brother, these slaves who want to die will not do anything. Didn't each of them want to harm my brother?" My son just doesn't regard my elder brother as the master, no matter which one, the whole family will beat him to death with a big stick."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang could believe that Jia Amnesty was really born by Jia's mother, otherwise she would have said exactly the same words when dealing with the slaves.Showing her eyes to everyone Lai, Mrs. Zhang turned to Jia She and said, "Who else is there, the housekeeper's wife Lai who is most trusted by the old lady."

It's okay not to mention Jia's mother, but when Jia's mother is mentioned, how can Jia Shen not remember that Jia Hu's death was decided by Jia's mother and refused to let the investigation go on, and Mrs. Zhang was rumored behind the gossip that her pregnant son hindered her relatives There is the shadow of Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was murdered by Mrs. Jia, and Mrs. Jia refused to send Mrs. Wen to Shuntian Mansion. Mrs. Zhang was punished to kneel yesterday because of Mrs. Jia? !

One after another, I didn't see that Grandma Jia's most trusted mother Lai came forward to persuade her, maybe she even helped Jia's mother think of ideas to fuel the flames.

Jia Amnesty didn't have the idea of ​​not hitting the woman, so he kicked everyone Lai to the ground directly: "Slave who has no rules, just stand like this and answer the master's words?"

Everyone Lai was kicked so hard that he almost lost his breath. After finally getting up, he had to admit his mistake to Jia She: "It's a slave who has no rules."

"It's not a day without rules." Mrs. Zhang didn't give her a chance to find a reason: "I heard that your Lai family occupies three yards over the servant's room. I think there are only a few people in your family. A courtyard can't hold it, but what is hidden in it? I just don't know if I took something from the mansion by mistake."

Everyone Lai raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang blankly, not knowing how to reply to these words.Seeing her prescription, Jia She also saw that there was a lot of selfishness in it, so he stepped out of the main room and told Qin Zhu to hurry up and lead someone to follow him from a distance.

"Ma'am, this slave girl is going to prepare the things my brother needs to wash three things." When everyone Lai heard Jia She called for someone, he realized that he must not be allowed to go to the three courtyards occupied by his house and knocked down by Mrs. Zhang. He got up and wanted to run out.She had to hurry up and tell her mother-in-law to find a way, some things in her house were seen by the old man, and the whole family's life was lost.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, Zhang Lai’s family had already brought a few strong women to block the door, and pushed everyone: “Madam hasn’t said what to use, the things you rushed to prepare are not suitable. Use it, but what can I do?"

Lai everyone knew that before Jia Amnesty came back, he would not even think about leaving the East Courtyard, and looked back at Mrs. Zhang with unfriendly eyes: "Madam, this servant is the housekeeper's wife in the mansion, not Dongda's." servant of the court."

Does this tell you about your qualifications?Mrs. Zhang looked at her like a fool: "The East Courtyard is also the Rongguo Mansion, and the master will inherit the entire Rongguo Mansion as a filial piety. You say you are not a slave of the East Courtyard. Are you trying to instigate the master to separate?"

"Old lady—" Lai everyone didn't dare to admit it, so he could only raise the banner of Jia Mu again.Mrs. Zhang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and told her directly: "My husband dies and my son, since the day my father-in-law passed away, an old lady will be just an old lady."

So bluntly, why is it that filial piety is the first thing to do?Lai has nothing to say.I have to say that the original owner's temperament seems to be a little weaker, but the housekeeper's ability is still remarkable. Mrs. Zhang has been paying attention to the movements of everyone in the East Courtyard, and no one secretly ran to the Main Courtyard to give Jia Mother or Madam Lai reported the letter.

If not, Mrs. Wang would not take the risk of buying a foreign woman when the original owner gave birth the day before yesterday.Mrs. Zhang believes that Mrs. Wang can do this kind of thing, she is a woman who talks like a Buddha.

Jia Amnesty didn't keep Mrs. Zhang waiting for a long time. He returned to the East Courtyard with him, as well as the Lai family's belongings and the Lai family who were blocked by Jia Amnesty.There are not only people with the surname Lai in this Lai family, but also slaves bought privately by the Lai family, commonly known as slaves.

Seeing the things Jia Amnesty brought in, everyone Lai collapsed to the ground.Now the old lady is convalescing in bed, and the second wife is not counted as a companion for her own recovery, but she is taken away by the people of Shuntian Mansion. A person with such a good face as the second master will definitely be crushed when facing the elder.Once you go to the main courtyard, your own home will be...

"I beg for mercy from the great lord. It is because the servants and the head of the family have lost their minds that they did such a thing in a moment of confusion. Please forgive me for the sake of the servants and servants' family who have been loyal to the mansion for many years and have worked hard. A family of slaves and servants. In the future, the family of slaves and servants will definitely serve as cows and horses for the elders and elder wives." Lai's kowtow this time was like smashing garlic.

Jia Amnesty gestured to Mrs. Zhang with his eyes, wanting to know how he should deal with it.Mrs. Zhang smiled at everyone Lai: "As a slave, you belong to the master. Is it not your duty to be a cow or a horse?"

What happened to the eldest wife today, she can pick out the mistakes in every word she says.Could it be that the gentleness and docileness in the daily life are just pretending, or is it because someone tried to harm her again and again, so that this docile person also showed his minions?Lai everyone looked at Mrs. Zhang's smile, and felt chills in his heart.

"You have been the housekeeper's wife for several years, are you literate?" Mrs. Zhang asked.Everyone Lai nodded quickly, and Mrs. Zhang asked someone to give her a pen and paper, and asked her to list the things she brought from Lai's house, which ones were purchased by their family, and which ones were rewarded to her by the master. Some of them were hidden from the master's house.

This made everyone in Lai's heart active. It turned out that the eldest wife was just talking about it, and she asked herself to make a list of these things.My mother-in-law has been with the old lady for many years, and my husband and wife have been the housekeeper and the housekeeper's wife for nearly ten years. Those things can be included in the master's rewards.

The mistake was that I shouldn't have been frightened when I saw something just now, and kowtowed to the old man to admit my mistake.Lai everyone knows that he confessed his mistake just now, at least he has to list some things that his family is ignorant of, or if the old man doesn't believe it, what should he do if he sends himself directly to Shuntian Mansion?

But she knew that even Mr. Wang, the deputy governor of Beijing camp, went to Shuntian mansion in person, but he failed to bring back Zhou Rui's family.If their family entered Shuntian Mansion, they could still count on the old lady to personally go to Shuntian Mansion to save them.

Everyone Lai went outside to make a list. Mrs. Zhang already knew from the angry Jia She that the Lai family in this life was much more unscrupulous than Jia Hu's in that life: Jia She copied nearly 3 taels of silver from the Lai family. , the mansion has reported dozens of damaged antiques, and nearly a thousand pieces of gems, beads, and finely crafted jewelry!That's not even counting a warehouse full of grain - those things take up too much space, and Jia Amnesty didn't let anyone bring them back at all.

"Once the father-in-law of this country is gone, even his own slaves will be bullying the master." Mrs. Zhang has reason to believe that if these things are put in front of Jia Mu, the whole family of this dog slave, Lai Momo, is over.

After everyone Lai finished making the list, Jia Amnesty ordered her to be tied up and took her things to Rongqingtang.As soon as they entered the main courtyard, Xianqin'er trotted to Rongqing Hall to report to Madam Lai who was guarding Jia's mother, saying that her daughter-in-law had been tied up by Jia Amnesty.Grandma Lai was furious when she heard this, and hurried to Mother Jia to cry and cry, only saying that her family was loyal to the old lady, and that's why she was hated by the elder.

As soon as Jia Amnesty entered the Rongqing Hall, his mother angrily told him to kneel down.But this time, Jia Amnesty didn't listen to Jia Mu's words, and handed the list of Lai everyone to Jia Mu directly.

Jia's mother wanted to say whether to look at Qiao, but she glanced at something on the top: Nanzhu Jinzhu Wufeng Chai!This is clearly something in my private treasury, and it was my favorite thing in the early years. When I got older, I felt that it was not dignified enough to wear it, so it was easy for people to put it away.

How did this thing get to Lai's house?Mother Jia couldn't help but took a closer look at the list, and was amazed when she saw that it actually said that she rewarded Nanny Lai by herself.Can Mother Jia calm down?Turning to Jia She said: "Bring me the gem written on it."

Nanny Lai followed in the footsteps of her own daughter-in-law, and collapsed in front of Jia Mu, unable to argue: she quietly tucked these things home when she lent them to Jia Mu, how dare her daughter-in-law write them all. Rewarded by the old lady?

No matter how bad the old lady's memory is, she has rules when it comes to rewarding things: Generally, she rewards a purse with four or five small gold and silver coins in it, and even better ones reward rulers and silver directly.Only after a major event is done, some jewelry will be rewarded.Even when it comes to appreciating jewelry, the old lady also has special tricks for appreciating servants, and she won't directly reward herself with good things she wears and uses.

"What do you want to say?" Mother Jia's hand holding the list was trembling, because she felt ashamed that her slave stole her private treasury, but her son, who she had always disliked, caught him.The second is that I feel chilling. This Nanny Lai has been with me for decades, but I try to satisfy her as much as I can, and I always think that she is loyal.

Thirdly, the last thing Mother Jia wanted to ask was whether her private treasury was accidentally burned when Mammy Lai went to steal things.

Nanny Lai didn't say a word at this time, but kowtowed to Mother Jia continuously.Thanks to everyone, seeing Jia's mother and mother-in-law like this, I realized that my cleverness just now was used in the wrong place.The eldest lady didn't know that she was playing tricks, but she clearly knew that as long as these things were brought in front of the old lady, her family would die.

Mother Jia shook her hands and said to Jia Amnesty: "I have injuries on my body, you can deal with them yourself. These things were stolen from me by the Lai family, so I just keep them here." Although there are not many things, but thinking about being burned Cheng Pingdi's private warehouse, Jia's mother felt that no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.

Jia She, the unlovable person, spoke again: "Some of these antiques were reported damaged that day. You can check the accounts to find out whether they belonged to the old lady's private house. And the money, everyone said it was their monthly routine over the years. A reward for following."

"I figured that even though the monthly income of their family is high, it's still not so high that they still have money to buy slaves. They must have embezzled the public, so it's better to enter the public account."

Mrs. Zhang, who has been paying attention to the movement with her soul force, almost never laughed out loud when she heard Jia She's words - Jia's mother doesn't like Jia She, so it can't be slapped, forget it, forget it.

Jia's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak: "There are people everywhere in the public office. It's so easy for people to be corrupted. Of course, this money is stolen from me."

Jia Amnesty bowed to Mother Jia: "The old lady should rest in peace of mind, wait until I ask Lai Da that dead slave, and I will answer the old lady if I ask the truth." Lai took everyone away together. Except for those gems and jewelry, Jia Mu didn't leave anything left.

Not to mention that Jia's mother over there was so angry that she smashed the things in front of her eyes, this Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing anymore.Several members of Zhang Lai's family finally saw the smile on her face, and they all came forward to make fun of her, talking about how to wash Jia Lian tomorrow.

Mrs. Zhang just thought of a question, that is, Jia She went out to find a way to sue the imperial court, but now he has become the biggest moth in dealing with the future of Rongguo Mansion, so will he be able to see the emperor tomorrow?

If Jia Amnesty went to see the emperor, Jia Lian's three baptisms would be too miserable: even Jia Min was sick in the main courtyard, so he couldn't come alone.And the stable woman who should have gained the most from Xisan is also waiting for the judgment in Shuntian Mansion.Only my own mother and a few servants who need to watch the ceremony together, I will let Jia Lian know about this in the future, will you feel that the whole family doesn't value him?

"Bring me to see you." Mrs. Zhang felt that she should spend more time with Jia Lian from now on, so that even if her soul was taken away in the future, when Nanny Zhao told Jia Lian, she would let Jia Lian know that he was Someone hurts the child.

After seeing the children and confirming that all the things for washing are ready, and seeing Jia Amnesty not coming back, Mrs. Zhang had to ask someone to tell the master to come to the main room when he is done with work. I fell asleep.

When Jia Amnesty entered the room, he found that Madam Zhang was already asleep, so he thought about going back to the study. He didn't want Madam Zhang to feel light, and woke up after hearing the sound.

"You still call me in the middle of the night, you can't say anything tomorrow." Jia Amnesty seemed a little impatient, and the words he said were not worthy of beating.Mrs. Zhang didn't care about his tone, she just asked: "Master said he was going to find a face saint, is there a way?"

Jia Amnesty nodded to Mrs. Zhang, but didn't tell her who he was looking for.Mrs. Zhang felt that it was really difficult to communicate with this person, so she had to ask again: "Is the master looking for Zhong Jinghou? Did not talk to the old imperial doctor.

Jia Amnesty's eyes turned a little off: "It's not uncle, you don't have to worry about the outside affairs, just take care of your brother."

Mrs. Zhang is so angry that she wants to curse, I don't need to worry about outside affairs, if I'm not worried that you will be beaten into autism, can't I take care of my body and eat and drink?He just kept looking at Jia Amnesty, but he didn't say that he would take care of his brother.
