Two hundred and twentieth eight chapters reform through labor

Because the Youshi and Qin Keqing from the East Mansion came over, Jia Mu kept food. After lunch, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others gradually dispersed.

The servants of Lin Zhixiao's family, Grandma Shan, Wu Xingdeng's family gathered at Jia Mu's house, also dispersed. Lai Da was removed from the position of Grand House, which had a great influence among the slaves of the Jia family. The aftermath of this news would take many geniuses to digest.

Li Wan took Suyun and Biyue to her residence with relaxed steps. She was happy in her heart: Brother Huan is amazing, and she won another game! If he could be familiar with it and grasp the old lady's thoughts, what could he do in the mansion?

Baoyu took Xiren and chased Daiyu to her room. But Daiyu still ignored him. Her anger was not relieved. Zijuan shook her head. The third master's status was getting higher and higher, and she was all men who talked about things outside. Bao Er Master was still a child.

Xiren helped Zijuan pour tea softly and sighed softly. If he had known this, why would he have to be like this? Why did you mess with Master Huan San?

Baochai did not go to Mrs. Wang’s East Cluster Courtyard with Aunt Xue, but took Ying'er to Tanchun’s house to talk. Yingchun and Xichun arrived at the Baoxia Hall behind the East Cluster Courtyard and returned to the house.

The afternoon was quiet. Baochai and Tanchun sat in front of the window. The waiter put on tea. Outside the window, ginkgo, camphor, crape myrtle, metasequoia, peach trees, osmanthus, and magnolia extended along the corridor, lush and green. In the blink of an eye, it was late spring again!

Baochai asked, "San Sister, Brother Huan should have contact with the mansion, right? I think he will stay in the mansion."

Tanchun looked at her beautiful eyes and chuckled. How could she not see the problem that Daiyu could see? Sister Bao was a little nervous about her younger brother. She was happy to see it. "Well, there are two of his classmates on the clan school, and they go through the Xianheng Trading Company."

When Tanchun smiled, Baochai noticed that a slight redness rose slightly on Fengying's pretty white face. However, she didn't explain anything to Tanchun. Brother Huan is an eleven-year-old boy. She just has a good impression, but she doesn't like her. But her mother is anxious to marry her.

Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on Baochai's lips. Her mother was worried that Brother Huan would anger the old lady. Judging from the situation, it was not the case at all. She believed him in her heart.

Baochai said: "Brother Huan joined forces with the master to dismiss the housekeeper Lai. Third sister, do you think it would be a taboo for the old lady?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "So, the third brother went to the academy to avoid suspicion."

Baochai shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid she's covering her ears and stealing the bell." She was actually a little worried. Everyone could see that Brother Huan must have joined forces with the master. The old lady may not have no idea about him.

Tanchun smiled softly and said, "The third brother said this is called taking the form seriously. If you don't even take the form, the problem will be big. Sister Bao, don't worry, he has a proper position."

Baochai smiled, a bright and elegant girl.



The afternoon sun shone in Jia Mu's bedroom. Jia Mu did not take a lunch break, but sat on a collapsed chair, stepped on a stool, and was slightly pondering.

The mandarin ducks held the teacup and waited quietly beside them. They were tall and pretty, with a gentle charm.

She actually knew what the old lady was thinking. Because the third master repeatedly investigated the housekeeper, this made the old lady very dissatisfied. She had obviously fined 6,000 taels before, and she had the intention to stop there. But today she joined forces with the eldest master to investigate again. This was a taboo of the old lady. The old lady had to think deeply about what he was thinking and what was his intention?

Jia Mu thought for a long time and asked, "Yuanyang, what does it mean when you raise Brother Huan today?"

Yuanyang followed Jia Mu and asked her to remind Jia Mu that she knew the old lady very well and comforted her: "Old ancestor, what do you want me to say? It's because the third master was dissatisfied with the fact that the housekeeper Lai had offended him before. The third master was successful in his youth, so he could bear this anger."

Jia Mu nodded gently, "Yes." She smiled and said, "You can see clearly."

Yuanyang helped Jia Mu pinch her shoulder and said, "I heard that the third master went to Dongzhuang Town, so I was afraid that he would also avoid suspicion. After all, he didn't even take him with him. If the master talked to him, he would definitely have to say something."

Jia Mu was a little surprised, "Oh? How did you say this?"

Yuanyang said, "I heard from outside that the old master asked the third master to talk to him. Besides, the third master went to Dongzhuang Town, and all his three eldest sons stayed in the mansion. He only brought Hu Xiaosi to drive the carriage. The communication with the mansion should be not smooth."

Yuanyang was talking about her speculation, which was exactly what Jia Huan wanted others to see. No one would believe that Master Huan did not pay attention to the information in the mansion, but the news was not confirmed in real time. Dongzhuang Town is 40 miles away from the capital.

Tanchun knew that Jia Huan was using Xianheng Trading Company channels to maintain real-time attention to the Jia family, which was hidden news.

Jia Mu's heart was a little relieved. As long as the cooperation between the two was not taken by Jia Huan, it was acceptable. As for power, the decision-making power of the housekeeper was always in her hands. That's all.

Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the old lady was almost let go of her guard. From her perspective, she did not want the old lady to have a quarrel with the third master.



Jia Huan didn't know that Jin Yuanyang helped him to eliminate a storm. In fact, he was ready to recall Jia Mu in Dongzhuang Town to inquire. The words he prepared were similar to those of Yuanyang.

Confucius said that a gentleman has three precepts: when he is old, his blood and energy are weak, so he is in a way that he is in a way. Jia Huan is familiar with the Analects of Confucius, and he can still understand Jia Mu's thoughts. Jia Huan will definitely consider the sensitivity of Mrs. Shi's power in terms of sensitivity, and Jia Huan will definitely consider it when making plans.

Do you really think that after Jia Mu Rong raised her, she retired? The dispute over the dominance of the Jia Mansion's inner house has never stopped. It eventually extended to the dispute between Xiren and Qingwen in Jia Baoyu's room, and Baoyu's marriage dispute.

Before Jia Huan could wait for the recall news in the Jia Mansion, he still lived in Dongzhuang Town. Next, there was a "killing move" against the Lai family. Jia She was willing to be a villain and a pioneer excitedly, and there was no need for him to go back so early to ruin his reputation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lai Da handed over the power of the butler to the former three butlers and the newly promoted butler Shan Daliang in the management office near the east corner gate of the Jia Mansion. The specific symbols of these powers are keys, books of account books, and several seals.

Five days later, the six shops outside the Lai family had a discount of 6,000 taels of silver. There were two pharmacies, three north-south goods stores outside Chongwenmen, and one pawn shop. There were five houses in the outer city of the capital, and four thousand taels of silver. The cash currency was paid, which was considered to make up for the deficit of the Jia Mansion.

Shan Daliang and Lin Zhixiao did not make any difficulties, and the industry discounted the market price. Of course, it was impossible to make concessions. The master sent Mr. Lian to stare at it.

Jia Lian was in the Jia Mansion Management Office for several days in a row. He was actually a little confused. Because his father told him that he would confiscate the Lai family. The family's assets were estimated to be 50,000 taels, and then he only squeezed out 20,000 taels.

Of course, giving money can also be regarded as a different form of house search. Lai Da took silver from the Jia family and was called corruption - impolite. His father's withdrawal of silver was called "use", as long as there is a reason to be able to pass. Master Zheng would not argue with his father about such mundane affairs. However, this is still a gap from the expected goal.

Jia Lian's doubts lasted only half a day.

On March 26, Qian Hua, a purchasing agent in the Jia family warehouse, came forward to confirm that Lai Da had been tampering with rice and flour purchases in the Jia family for a long time, and appointed a rice shop affiliated with the Lai family to be responsible for the matter. Jia She immediately ordered people to go to the Lai family to sneak into the Jia family, who had been "respected" Lai Da, and imprisoned. The charge was not greed - defiling the money from the public, but to take kickbacks, suspected of buying rice and flour at a high price, damaging the interests of the Jia family.

In private, Jia She sent Zhang Cai, the confidant who was promoted to the fourth housekeeper, to persuade Lai's family, that if Lai didn't want to eat the meat on the board, he would give it money.

Lai Mama was dissatisfied and went to Jia Mu to plead with her. Jia Mu called Jia She in and scolded her and released Lai Da.

The next day, Li Hua, the manager of the East Mansion, took the lead in reporting that the former general manager Lai Sheng was playing tricks when purchasing maids in the mansion. He first chose the good maids to the Lai family for use, and then gave the rest to the mansion. Lai Da was involved in the case. Jia She and Jia Rong together detained Lai Da and Lai Sheng to the Jia Mansion. Of course, this time the charge was not greed - dirty.

This time, Mama Lai admitted defeat and gave Jia She and Jia Rong a total of 2,000 taels of silver to expose the matter.

But all the servants in the Jia family saw that Mr. She treated the Lai family as a piece of fat. Because the old lady once said that 20,000 taels of silver would be exposed for greed and the subsequent charges were changed and had nothing to do with greed and greed. Now many people believe that Jia She had received hundreds of black materials from Lai Da.

The next day, on March 28, Jia She used Lai Da's son Lai Shangrong to bully men and women under the banner of the Jia family. The evidence and physical evidence were all in the Jia family, and Lai Shangrong was deducted. Zhang Cai was sent to ask for money. This time the offer was 5,000 taels.

Mama Lai was dissatisfied again and went to ask Mother Jia to plead with her. Mother Jia asked a few more questions and ordered Jia She to release the people. However, this time she did not call Jia She in and scold her.

Mama Lai has already felt the subtle changes in Mu Jia’s attitude.



It is early summer in early April. At night, it is drizzling.

In Fengjie's courtyard, Jia Lian came back from drinking outside. Wang Xifeng put a hot towel on his face and served him. Ping'er untied Jia Lian's outer robe.

Jia Lian said curiously: "Feng Jie'er, you have changed a little recently!"

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Auntie was scared. Brother Huan'er hasn't returned to the house yet? He is really a good method. Poor Lai's family, this is a struggle. Yesterday, Lai everyone was out for trouble. I see that the old lady is already tired of it."

The eldest master Jia She has been plaguing the Lai family with various charges during this period. I don’t know how much money he has squeezed out. Lai Ma has used her favors because she always asked the old lady to plead for mercy.

If Jia Huan used this method on her, she would not be able to bear it. She would never hear about this idea. She actually used the identity of the eldest master as her son and beat the old lady in front of the old lady, and completely eliminated all the crowd of Lai Mama.

The main reason for her is her husband Jia Lian, and she has naturally become much gentler recently.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Who can you blame the Lai family for being killed by themselves?"

Wang Xifeng twisted a towel in the basin and said in confusion: "How many people have reported it? Lai Da's butt is too unclean. Why are there so many hidden things that can be shaken out?"

Jia Lian smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually not many. Most of them were said by Shan Daliang and Lin Zhixiao."

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were both stunned. These words, such as intrigue, people pushing, and others, and taking advantage of others.



Lai was about to drink in a restaurant in Sishifang. After not seeing each other for half a month, Mr. Lai was completely aging, his face was full of wrinkles, and he seemed to have been ten years old.

After serving the food, Lai Da toasted Zhang Cai, handed over a letter of silver and said, "Brother Zhang, you give me a brief explanation to me, what will the master plan to deal with the Lai family?"

Zhang Cai collected the silver easily, looked at Lai Da, and smiled and said, "The master only needs the silver. Brother Lai should ask the third master what he planned to deal with you. As far as I know, the third master likes to send people to a farm in Jinling to farm. It is called 'labor transformation'."

Lai Da was silent for a while and sighed, "I understand." He felt bitter in his heart.

The face of the boy came up in his mind. How did he, the Lai family, reach the opposite of the boy? Now, there is no more regret. (To be continued.)
