When Sister Feng and Yuanyang arrived, the Rongqing Hall was bustling with excitement.

Jia She said angrily: "It's a joke! Forcing people to pay back money turns out to be kind! Is there such a thing in the world?"

Hearing this, Sister Feng sneered in her heart. Now that her father-in-law has finally been cured by someone, she no longer dares to include any nonsense in her words!

Before Jia Qiang could say anything, when she saw Sister Feng and Yuanyang arriving, she stopped talking and sneered at Jia She, "You ask first if I sent anyone to ask yesterday."

Jia She asked Sister Feng: "What a sin yesterday...cough cough cough cough cough..." After blurting out a word, the second half of the word got stuck in his throat, and then he remembered Jia Qiang's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and wanted to swallow it back.

, but a word has already been spoken, and swallowing it back would be even more embarrassing.

It felt as if an egg was stuck in his throat, causing him to cough violently, but in the coughing, the word "obstacle" came out.

A pair of old eyes were still looking at Jia Qiang, fearing that the hedgehog would start to explode...

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang didn't even look at him except for giving him a contemptuous glance. This made Jia She feel relieved, but also felt very embarrassed. After suppressing her cough, she asked Xifeng: "Yesterday

Is there anyone here looking for Lian'er?"

Xifeng said "hmm" and said, "I don't even know who he is, but my mother-in-law came in and asked. When I got back, she was not there. I didn't expect it was sent by Qiang'er. If you know, I will let someone go carefully."

Look for it.”

Above, Jia Mu was already waving, saying: "Brother Feng, come here."

Yuanyang returned to Jia Mu and whispered a few words, but she didn't know what she said. Jia Mu pitifully called Sister Feng over and said with a smile: "I just said that I haven't been energetic all day. It's because I haven't seen you Chili. You?"

, If you suffer any grievances in the future, just come to me. Who can the men of the Jia family count on? Especially Lian'er, the naughty dog ​​in the yard is more respectable than him. Just dig the dirty and smelly ones into the house, you

Don’t worry, I will make him apologize to you later.”

Hearing this, Sister Feng burst into tears and forced a smile: "I shouldn't have disturbed the old lady's peace..."

Mrs. Wang said calmly: "Okay, let's discuss this matter later with Lian'er. Young brothers are not like this, they all like to steal words. Don't be too sad. Let's get down to business..."

Sister Feng held back her tears in frustration. Mother Jia patted her hand gently and said with a smile: "I will vent my anger on you later, just wait."

When Sister Feng heard this, she almost shed tears again. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, ancestors, I'm fine."

Jia Mu's eyes fell on Sister Feng's face. After the tears washed away the powder, the few shallow marks were condensed, but she didn't say anything more. Her eyes fell on Jia Qiang's face and said: "Since you said that, this

The general approach has benefits, but I don’t know what the benefits are?”

Jia Qiang exhaled helplessly and said: "Before we ate here, we had already made it very clear on the table. I didn't expect that some people haven't reacted yet. Forget it, old lady, you are a member of the inner house.

, who would have thought that the two great masters wouldn’t understand either?”

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "I didn't listen very carefully to the military affairs that day. Qiang'er, please tell me again..."

Jia Qiang looked at him and said: "Wang Butang is in charge of the Fengtai Camp. If he wants to completely seize the military power, he must change his generals. Otherwise, he can only be ignored. But the Wang family has no available generals, so they can only start from the founding of the country."

Select from the same lineage of heroes. According to Wang Butang's wishes, my husband was allowed to go online to recover the deficit, and use this as a favor, plus the respectability of the Jia family, to bribe those generals and generals who were the founding heroes. It's just me.

I made it clear to him that even if this kind of bribery can succeed for a while, it will not be a long-term solution. Because the shortfall will be repaid sooner or later. Today, it is a favor to be open to others, but it will become hatred when you have to pay it back in the future. So,

Just do it my way first. Didn’t everyone agree at the time? Why are you jumping around now?"

Jia Zheng's face turned red. He looked towards the high platform and saw Jia's mother looking at him with an unkind look.

Jia She waved his hand and said: "We let you do it your way, but have you ever promised to let the family friends you forced to break up their families and sell their ancestral property and still make a loss? By doing this, aren't you making enemies for the Jia family?"

Jia Qiang glanced at him with disgust, frowned and said, "Go to the Niu family of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and the Liu family of the Liguo Duke's mansion and ask them if they are grateful to me now or hate me."

Jia Mu couldn't understand and said, "The two families are still grateful to you?"

Jia Qiang said: "Of course I'm grateful! Because of the behavior of the two families, the emperor in the palace was greatly moved. He thought they were loyal, so he specially rewarded them with court beads and imperial pens. Among the founding nobles, there are no such glorious and dignified ones. In the past ten years, except for

There are only two of them in the Jia family. Who dares to say that they were forced to lose their family and business?

In addition, please send someone to inform Wangbutang, issue documents, and invite Bo Niu Jizong, the first-class son of Zhenguo Gongfu, and Liu Fang, the first-class son of Liguo Gongfu, to go to Fengtai Camp to serve as generals! Such generals are useless.

No worries.

In this way, you can even have a future, is this also called enmity?"

After a pause, Jia Qiang said to Jia Mu: "Whether there is any enmity or not, we will naturally find out when we give out gifts during the New Year."

Jia's mother asked: "The eldest man said that Duke Xiuguo's Mansion, Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and several other families came to ask, forcing them to sell their businesses and still lose money. Is it the Jia family's intention? What can I say?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Then what can you say? Of course it is not the intention of the Jia family. These silver coins have nothing to do with a penny of the Jia family. What do you mean by the Jia family? Even my husband is ordered by the emperor to collect the money.

The whole department was in short supply, and the money did not fall into the pockets of the Jia family and the Lin family. Niu Jizong saw it very clearly, and declared to the outside world that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor saw that their ministers were in trouble, so they kindly lent us the money from the court. Now the court is in difficulty.

, it’s just our duty to pay back the money. This principle should be understood by three-year-old children, but why do some people just don’t understand it. They act like scoundrels to pay back debts, but they are forced to do so?”

Jia's mother was confused by him, so she only said: "No matter how reasonable it is, it's hard to force someone to sell off their ancestral property and still lose money. People have come to sue and demand an explanation. We, the Jia family, can't offend everyone."

Tell me, is this true?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "If someone comes to the door again, the old lady will tell him clearly that the West Palace has no control over the affairs of the East Palace. If they are dissatisfied, just ask them to come directly to the East Palace to settle accounts with me. I will wait for them."

"..."

Jia Mu felt her head was buzzing.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore and said slowly: "Brother Qiang, although it is the East Mansion, the West Mansion has two rooms, and the East Mansion is still the eldest room, in the eyes of outsiders, both the East Mansion and the West Mansion are the Jia family. You have offended

People, other people won’t just think that Dongfu has offended people..."

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows, looked sideways at Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, you are a sensible person. However, since the eldest aunt entered the palace and became a concubine, the Jia family can barely be regarded as relatives of the emperor. Therefore, it is the most appropriate thing to do.

What should be of concern is the interests of the Tian family. If my husband and I don’t do our errands well, the imperial concubine will be affected in the palace. Even if we don’t talk about the imperial concubine, it’s Wang Butang. If my husband and I don’t help him select a group of real

A courageous camp general, do you think he can secure the position of general of the Fengtai camp?"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Mu and said: "Old lady, you know the situation of the Jia family in your heart. The second master... is a high-ranking official, and he doesn't get involved much in the struggles in the court. The eldest master... ...Haha. Of course I am nothing, but my husband is an old man in the officialdom who has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. So if you don’t understand anything about outside affairs, you can ask him first. My husband has always been grateful for the kindness shown to him by the old prince and the old lady. , could it be possible to do something that would harm the Jia family?"

This sentence was more effective than the previous hundred sentences put together. Jia Mu finally made a decision and said: "Since even your husband has nodded, you can do it yourself. If anyone comes from outside, I will ask them to go to Dongfu to find someone." you."

Jia Qiang smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."

Mother Jia looked at him and smiled, and felt that this great-grandson was indeed born well. Compared with him, Baoyu was good in everything else, but his face was a bit big...

She suddenly wondered: "On weekdays, you would never come to the door without inviting me here and there. What happened today? What are you doing here?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Originally, I wanted someone to go to Wang's house and tell Wang Butang that he has found two of the generals he needs, so that he would be convinced not to go asking for help again."

Hearing this, Mother Jia actually felt a little worried. She looked at Mrs. Wang and said with a smile: "I think what Brother Qiang said makes sense. If you really go to ask for help, others may not notice it. It's better to let Brother Qiang." After all this trouble, those who are willing to repay the money to the emperor will never lose their loyalty and filial piety. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to use such a person?"

As he said this, he also winked at Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang felt a little harsh when she heard this, when she saw this look in her eyes, she understood that there was something bigger to say, so she clicked on this section and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is, the master was still talking about it yesterday. Isn't that right?" What do you think of Brother Qiang? Now he is becoming more and more different, which shows that he has great potential."

What Jia She heard below was simply shocked and angry. He was only a first-class general, Jia Qiang was a high-ranking marquis, and he was the head of the Jia family, so there was no need to pay attention to him.

He only hoped that Jia Mu's status as the Duke's wife would put him ahead of Jia Qiang. Unexpectedly, Jia Mu had changed her temper and praised Jia Qiang instead.

How could he calm down? So he let out a loud roar!

As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, the uncle here snorted angrily, making her immediately embarrassed, and a flash of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.

But Jia Qiang looked at Jia She and said, "Don't be upset, sir. Don't worry. I will repay the five thousand taels of silver you lost in the household department with your own money. I won't force you to sell off your ancestral property." It's repaid. But I didn't expect that a man as wealthy as the eldest master would actually borrow money to celebrate the New Year."

These words were like a thunder, detonating the Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu and others couldn't believe their ears. As a heir to the title of Rong Mansion and enjoying a huge share of the family property passed down by two generations of Rong Guogong, he was actually reduced to going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to borrow money to celebrate the New Year?!

The most embarrassing thing is that the money I borrowed was actually paid back by the uncle of the Jia family!!

Mother Jia's old eyes were wide open, and she looked down at the eldest son in the hall who was red-skinned and so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to curse.

Jia Zheng's face was also extremely embarrassed. Not only did he blame his brother, but he also felt a little regretful. If the Jia family's property hadn't been in the second house, maybe Jia She wouldn't have been able to do such a shameful thing...

Looking at Jia She's gray hair, Jia's mother moved her lips, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Remember to pay back the money to your brother-in-law, do you understand?"

Jia She muttered: "It's because everyone else has borrowed it. If I don't borrow it, others will come to me to borrow it, so..."

Mother Jia didn't even want to hear this bullshit reason. She waved her hand and said, "You all can go down."

Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers hid their faces and left. Jia Qiang was also about to leave. However, before they went out, Jia's mother called out: "Brother Qiang, stay here first."
