Chapter 88 Confrontation
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.
Today, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and even Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son from Dongfu are all here.
As for Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, they are naturally the same.
Seeing Jia Qiang arriving, Zhu Jia mostly pretended not to see it...
On the high platform, Jia Mu pulled Daiyu, whose eyes were red from crying, and said pitifully: "Good boy, don't be afraid. As long as grandma is here, the sky will not fall. Even if one day, even I am gone, you still have your two uncles."
Yes, there are also aunts here. If you don’t believe it, just ask them and see which one dares not to treat you as one of their own flesh and blood?"
Jia She hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, mother? My niece is the only bloodline of our fourth sister and our family's real blood relative. They say that the world is big and my uncle is the biggest. Since we are the biggest, if we can't even protect our own niece,
I don’t have the nerve to live in this world anymore.”
Jia Zheng also nodded and said: "Of course he is his own flesh and blood, and Ruhai and I have a close relationship. His daughter is my daughter. If Baoyu bullies you again, he will be beaten to death."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Jia Zhen also laughed and said: "Old ancestors, Sister Lin not only has uncles, but also cousins like me. Such a big family is all close relatives. If my sister is bullied, even the ancestors will not
promise."
Jia Mu nodded with satisfaction. After Daiyu stood up and thanked her relatives, she took her hand and said, "When we go to Nan Province, everything will be handled by your second brother Lian and your nephew Qiang.
You just need to meet your father. But you must remember to take good care of your body. Grandma is old, and you are the only one with her grandson, so she will care more about her than your granddaughter. If you only care about being sad
, ruined your body and bones, but you have failed to live up to the love I have shown you all these years, and also made your mother’s spirit in heaven uneasy... Do you remember it?"
Daiyu couldn't stop crying. She stood up and worshiped: "I've written it down. I also hope that the old lady will not worry about her. The old lady is already old. Taking good care of her body and bones is the most important thing. When her granddaughter comes back, she can serve her again."
When Jia Mu heard this, she was greatly moved and said repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy! After hearing what you said, I feel relieved!"
Then he said happily to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others beside him: "You can see that you have grown up!"
Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement. Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "With the teachings of our ancestors day and night, even a burned-out paper like me has become a good lady who knows how to read and be a gift, let alone a fairy-like figure like Sister Lin?"
Mother Jia couldn't help but laugh and said: "You monkey, you know that you are a burnt paper? What your family said is true, but how can you have the face to say that you are knowledgeable and polite?"
After everyone made fun of her for a while, Mother Jia warned Zicuckoo: "Don't take good care of your girl. If you make any mistakes, I will not be lenient when you come back."
While they were talking, Lai Da, the chief steward of the Rong Mansion, came in from outside and said, "The boat has been prepared. The ladies on the boat have also arranged the bedrooms for the brothers and sisters. The kitchen has also been sent up by people from home, and there are all kinds of food and rice."
All the melons and fruits were also brought into the cabin."
Wang Xifeng smiled at Daiyu and said: "Look, our ancestors took out the money from the bottom of the box this time. I wish I could come with you. If Uncle Lin hadn't been slightly ill, I would have paid for it myself."
, Sister Lin, please invite the Taiwanese opera troupe to come up. Listen to one opera a day for about twenty days, and you will arrive in Yangzhou."
Everyone laughed, and Daiyu also forced a smile and thanked her. Jia Mu spat: "You are here to show off at this time. If you really want to do that, you just bring out the money. You can't see it when you go, and you can't see it when you come back."
No?"
Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about this? Lian'er, bring all the money at home quickly. If you don't have enough money, bring Ping'er with you. If it doesn't work, just take her as a pawn. No matter what, it's okay."
We need to find a good theater troupe to relieve Sister Lin’s boredom! When Uncle Lin recovers from his illness, Sister Lin will be happy, let her eat and drink well, watch the best show, and come back by boat together!”
Hearing her joking nonsense, everyone couldn't help laughing, and even Lin Daiyu's fear seemed to dissipate.
Seeing that the time had come, Jia Mu also felt sad in her heart that she couldn't bear to leave. However, she still had a smile on her face and said to Daiyu, who was in tears again: "Good Yu'er, don't cry. Although you don't have the surname Lin."
Brothers and sisters, but in this room full of people, who is not your closest relative? When your two aunts heard that you were going back to the south today, they both prepared a lot of food and clothing for you overnight and sent them to the ship.
Now, the sisters are also thinking about you... When you go, you must remember to take good care of your body and bones, and don't let your family miss you."
As he said this, two lines of tears finally fell from his eyes.
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade her, and after a while, after Daiyu said goodbye to her relatives and sisters at home one by one, she was escorted to the sedan chair outside the door by two nuns.
When he arrived at the second gate, Fang got out of the sedan and put on a carriage with eight treasure hairpins. After exiting the gate, he went straight out of the city and headed towards the dock.
From behind, Jia She looked at Jia Lian with disdain and said, "When you go to Nan Province, don't just go to Zhangtai and visit the Huafang brothel. You will lose the face of the Jia family and you won't survive."
When Jia Lian heard this, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he repeatedly bowed to protect him.
Jia Zhengze warned: "There are many old relatives in Southern Province, so I should visit them if I have the opportunity. On the other hand, the Jinling Zhen family should always go there in person to pay their respects to their old lady."
Jia Lian agreed again, and Lai Da added on the side: "If Mr. Lin has improved, there is no need to say more. If there is really something bad, and the second master can help with the property, you can also ask the Zhen family for help. In Nan Province
, we can’t dispose of things without him. Even if we exchange them for gold and silver, it would be cheaper.”
Hearing this explicit statement, Jia Sheda was satisfied and nodded.
Although Jia Zheng frowned, he didn't say anything, leaving some dignity for the old housekeeper.
Jia Lian twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded: "I understand."
In the end, no matter how much everyone wanted to ignore it, they could not ignore Jia Qiang, who had been standing aside with the two elders in the past, and who was clearly different from the male Ding Jingwei of the Jia family.
Jia She didn't even want to look at him, he just snorted contemptuously.
According to his temperament, such a traitor should be beaten to death.
Jia Zheng frowned, but still said: "Brother Qiang, I went to Nan Province. If I have anything to do, I will discuss it with your Uncle Lian."
Jia Qiang nodded slightly and responded: "Yes."
Jia Zheng was exhausted, but Jia Zhen, who was standing a little behind him, suddenly smiled, looked at Jia Qiang and asked: "I heard that you entrusted all your business to Brother Yun on the back porch? He is one and a half years old.
My child, what kind of economic livelihood do you know? After you leave, I will send Rong'er to help you, so don't worry and just go south."
Hearing this, Jia Qiang didn't even raise her eyelids, and said calmly: "I can earn three to five taels of silver by cooperating with the Jinsha Gang. If the clan can't get rid of the problem, it's okay to donate it. But if I cooperate with the Huai'an Marquis Mansion,
You won’t make a penny.”
Jia Zhen sneered and said: "It's a joke. You don't make a penny, so why are you cooperating with them?"
Jia Qiang's eyes were cold and she said indifferently: "For what? I use my monthly income of several hundred taels of silver to make a sweet favor so that when those shameless beasts and thieves bully me in the future, I, who have no father, will
The mother's lonely person is not without the power to protect her. As for the secret recipe, it has also been agreed with the five houses of Huai'an Houfu, Huaiyuan Houfu, Jingning Houfu, Jingchuan Houfu and Dingyuan Houfu.
, there are only five of them and the Jinsha Gang, a total of six companies in the city, if you don’t want to pass on one more. If you feel that you have a strong foundation and the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion is good, you can go and ask for it. Look at you.
Ning Guo’s patriarch’s style is easy to use but not easy to use...hehe."
After saying that, she let out a very contemptuous sneer, and Jia Qiang ignored the gloomy-looking members of the Jia family, got on her horse, and, protected by Tietou and Zhuzi, hurried towards the Jinsha Gang on Taiping Street.
Behind her, Jia Zhen's face was ashen, looking at Jia Qiang's retreating back, her eyes were like knives, full of resentment.
When Jia Zheng saw this scene, although he felt that Jia Zhen had gone too far, he did not like Jia Qiang's aggressive attitude.
No matter what, it should be done in an orderly manner.
As for Jia She, he even cursed loudly: "Does this beast think that he dares to show disrespect to his superiors by being near several princes' houses? Just wait, sooner or later, his good skin will be exposed, and he won't be able to kill this bastard!"
Jia Zhen took a breath and looked at Jia Lian. Jia Lian nodded and made up his mind to embarrass him if he had the chance, so as to vent his anger on his elder brother Zhen, who had been stubborn since childhood.
After that, Jia Lian said nothing more and gave Jia Zheng a pardon. After Jia Zheng kowtowed, he also rode to the dock.
