The maid at the door told Lai Sheng that Mr. Xiao Qiang had just entered not long ago.
Lai Sheng could only smile bitterly. The second master Xiaoqiang must have said everything. When I met Wang Xifeng, I had no choice but to skip those dirty words and tell the truth.
"So what Qiang'er said is true?"
Lai Sheng couldn't ask Jia Qiang what specifically he said, so he could only nod.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that she immediately asked Lai Sheng to bring Jia Juan and Jia Qin back to teach them a lesson. Lai Sheng said: "Second Grandma Lian, I'm afraid this won't work. I have to go find the eldest master and the second master."
"Why are you looking for them? Could it be that those two bastards are stubborn and have committed other crimes?"
Lai Sheng told the story about Jia Juan defrauding Brother Rong's money. Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "They are really good descendants in the Rongguo Mansion. They are all very promising. There is no need to go to the eldest master, just go to the second master." , let the second master handle it."
Wang Xifeng has always looked down on her father-in-law. If this kind of thing comes into the hands of Jia She, maybe the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter after the old man makes a lot of money.
Master Zheng must deal with it fairly, and Qin and Qin can't do any tricks.
Wang Xifeng returned to the hospital and saw Jia Qiang still kneeling in the room. He snorted, "Get up and get out of here."
Jia Qiang hugged her shoulders and resigned aggrievedly, thinking that it was so dangerous to complain.
Ping'er knew his grandma's temper and advised him, "Grandma, don't be angry about this. When these two people are caught, call a few boys to take turns slapping them in the mouth."
Wang Xifeng hummed: "What do you know? Today I have Jia Juan passing me on, and tomorrow I will have Zhen Juan passing on me. None of the words from the mouths of these bison-ravaged things can reach their ears."
Who told you to be so close to Uncle Xiao Rong on weekdays? It would be strange not to be misunderstood and gossip. Ping'er sighed in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud. At this time, grandma is like a gunpowder jar, exploding at a moment's notice.
Wang Xifeng scolded: "Your father is also a careless person. He will drag all the unclean things into the room without fear of spoiling his stomach."
…………
"Are these bricks enough?" Jia Rong only understands the production process and part of the principles. How to perform the specific operations has to be asked by craftsmen like Zongcheng.
Zong Cheng picked up a brick and weighed it, feeling depressed. "According to Mr. Rong, the proportion of stones in the square needs to be experimentally studied, and a large kiln is not needed at the moment. With these bricks and stones, it is more than enough to build a simple small kiln in a convenient place. We are temporarily There is no need to build another brick kiln.”
Jia Juan, who was standing aside, was immediately unhappy after hearing that they wanted to build their own brick kiln. If you build a brick kiln, won't you come to me to buy bricks? How else do I make money?
"It's not for the time being. It's because we don't need it at all. There are bricks in the brick kiln in the clan, so why go to all the trouble to do those things. Next time Brother Rong comes again, Uncle Qian will give you a cheaper price."
Jia Rong looked sideways, feeling extremely ridiculous. This bullshit clan uncle's conscience was eaten by maggots. Master Zhen sent him to work as a kiln owner, but he ended up cheating the Ning Guo Mansion.
At this moment, you are still thinking about how to get money out of your own hands. Just wait, and let your gentlemen from the West Mansion take care of you later!
Brother Rong was glad that he had gained some fame in both houses and clans now, and Jia Juan had risked his own life by saying those words, otherwise there would really be nothing he could do to him.
Before time travel, he was from a place in the south that was severely poisoned by the clan system, and there were a large group of people in his family. They look nice and friendly on the surface, but they have hidden agendas behind their backs. I've seen a lot of nasty things.
I even saw a lot of families who had no relatives, and their family property was misappropriated by relatives near and far under various names.
This is also the reason why he must keep Jia Jing first. Even if Jia Jing does nothing, he is very useful as a living sign in the Ning Mansion.
Otherwise, even if the relatives in each house do not come, it will not be easy to control the farmers, farmers, and hundreds of servants and maids in the house.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Jian. My nephew is afraid that Brother Qin's temple will use it, but when I need it here, it will be short again."
"No, absolutely not." Jia Yan slapped his chest loudly and said extremely seriously: "Your Uncle Jian is a considerate person. Next time, I will send someone to say hello in advance, and I will leave it for you." On."
Jia Rong nodded her head, thinking that Jia Juan's words were just farts. He asked Zong Cheng and other craftsmen to count the bricks, while he and Jia Yun walked around.
Jia Yun said: "This is a good place. It is easy for cars and horses to enter and exit, and there is a small hill behind it. It would be perfect to bring some water from the clan fields next to it to build a cement kiln."
Jia Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not okay. It's taboo to use public weapons for personal use. If you belong to the clan, you belong to the clan. It's better to go find land in the village of Ning Mansion. Here...you have to see it. , why not be the kiln owner?”
Hearing this, Jia Yun was indeed moved. If Uncle Qian were replaced and he became the owner of the kiln, he would be much more stable than now. It's just that... after becoming the owner of this kiln, I will probably have to stay in Yizhuang in the future.
Brother Rong will have to build his own brick kiln sooner or later, and with the help of craftsmen from the Restoration Department, how can the free kiln in the clan be competitive. He also thought that Brother Rong trusted him so much that he had entrusted him with the purchase of materials for making cement. How could he come to work in the clan?
Jia Yun said: "Brother Rong is laughing at me. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know good and evil. It's a wise choice to do it with Brother Rong."
The two walked around the surrounding area and found that there were still a lot of soil and waste bricks around the brick kiln. Brother Rong said to Jia Yun, "These dregs can be transported back and added to the ingredients and burned together."
Jia Yun nodded and flattered Brother Rong. "Brother Rong is really different from outsiders. He can think of uses for trash when he sees it. Could it be that people in the sky have the ability to turn trash into treasure and turn stones into gold?"
Brother Rong didn't reply to his words, he just taught him not to flatter him in the future. When they returned to the brick kiln, Zong Cheng and others also counted the number of bricks, which was almost the same as the number on the note.
Jia Juan then asked shamelessly: "Brother Rong, when will the money be settled?"
"Five thousand taels of silver will take several boxes to hold it. It will take some time for Brother Qiang and the others to get the money." Jia Yun looked like she was waiting to watch a show and said, "Uncle Jiao, don't worry, the response will be here soon. .”
"No hurry, no rush." Jia Juan said this, but his stern eyes couldn't help but glance towards the road, revealing his innermost thoughts.
Brother Rong and Jia Yun looked at each other and found it funny.
But after a while, there were indeed many cars and horses on the road. When Jia Juan saw him, he rubbed his hands repeatedly and patted Jia Qin on the shoulder. He whispered: "Brother Qin, we are going to get rich."
Jia Qin was about to cry.
Get rich?
Make a fortune!
Uncle Jian, don’t you recognize that the carriage in front of you looks familiar?
I didn’t recognize the carriage, and couldn’t you recognize the flag on the carriage? It's someone from Rong Mansion.
I just knew it, I just knew it.
Brother Rong is so abnormal today, something is wrong.
They must have listened to all those words, and this time it was a disaster. I don't know which master from Rong Mansion was invited to come over. If Master She could say a few nice words to him, it would be enough to pay for some pain. just in case……
Suddenly, Jia Qin tightly covered her mouth.
Isn’t that splendid car belonging to Aunt Xifu Lian?
Could it be...she's here too?
With a snap, Jia Qin suddenly knelt down to Brother Rong and said urgently: "Brother Rong, save me."
The sudden shock startled Jia Juan and said: "Brother Qin, what are you doing? Our money is here, get up quickly."
Brother Rong's face was expressionless, but Jia Yun followed Jia Juan's words and said: "Yes, your money is here. Hurry up and ask someone to move the boxes, so we can get a truck to transport the bricks."
"Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to move the boxes."
"Brother Rong, please save me. For the sake of us being brothers of the same race, please bypass me this time. I apologize to you, I don't want any of the money. It was Uncle Qian, Uncle Qian asked me to come. ." Jia Qin refused to get up, her heart dropped, and she kowtowed and betrayed Jia Qian.
Jia Qin had heard of Wang Xifeng's temperament. There is no room for sand in his eyes, and his methods are ruthless. I don't know how many people in Rong Mansion hated her over the years, but few dared to say a bad word behind her back. Because she was targeted by Sister Feng, nothing could end well.
With a dark face, Jia Rong shouted to the person next to him: "Why are you still looking at him? Pull him up. I'm not an official, nor am I his eldest brother, so what's the point of kneeling on me?"
"Brother, Brother Rong, you are my biological brother. Good brother, please save me this time."
Jia Rong sneered and said, "Don't have random relationships. If you want Master Zhen to be your father, you have to go to Ning Mansion and ask him if he agrees."
While Jia Qin was crying, the crowds of cars and horses entered Yizhuang.
A long attendant invited the person in the front car out. It was Jia Zheng, Baoyu's biological father and Jia Mu's second son.
He glanced at Jia Qin who was kneeling on the ground, then looked around in the crowd, and asked in a loud voice: "Where is Jia Qin? Did you run away first?"
Jia Juan, who was looking for someone to unload the goods, heard the sound and hurried over, greeting Jia Zheng with a playful smile. Asked: "Why is my second uncle here?"
Jia Zheng snorted and shouted: "Kneel down!"
"Second uncle?" Jia Juan was still in the joy of getting rich, and didn't understand why his second uncle Zheng asked him to kneel down.
Jia Rong, Jia Yun and others standing aside looked on coldly, but Jia Qin's body trembled and she immediately knelt down in front of Jia Zheng. Crying: "Second Master, Qin'er knows that she was wrong."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but look very ugly.
These two unlucky guys both came from Rongguo Mansion, and it was he who even arranged for Jia Juan to come to Yizhuang to be the kiln owner. I originally thought of asking for a job for my nephew from Rong Mansion, but this happened.
Master Zheng didn't even look at Jia Qin and cursed: "Kneel down and go aside. I'll take care of you after I deal with him."
"What mistake did my nephew make? My second uncle wants to punish me." Although Jia Yan had a bad feeling in his heart, he still said stubbornly, "If my second uncle wants to punish my nephew, my nephew dare not disobey, but at least he has to say Get rid of your nephew's crime."
Jia Zheng took out a note from his arms and threw it to Jia Juan.
"Look at the good things you have done. How dare you ask for five thousand taels of silver for a few bricks? And if you slandered Lian'er and his wife, do you really think I don't know about it?"
"this……"
"Don't make excuses, just kneel down. Rong'er got the advice from the princes and wanted to do something for the family, and you just stop her like this? I think you are used to being the overlord in Yizhuang and have forgotten your last name. "
Jia Zheng was so angry that he took the riding whip and used it on Jia Juan.
A slap bang bang!
Jia Juan fell to the ground and wailed, shouting: "Second uncle, please stop fighting. Jia Juan knows that he was wrong and won't dare to do it anymore."
After a while, Jia Juan's gorgeous brocade robe was beaten to pieces, and his whole body was rolling on the ground in pain.
Jia Qin saw the miserable situation and sat there without daring to move. When Mr. Zheng hit him, he trembled; when he heard Uncle Jian scream, he trembled again.
No matter whether the servants from the east or west mansions were accompanying him, Jia Yun and others did not dare to look directly and turn their backs. I only know that Mr. Zheng beat Jia Juan as if he were a precious jade. It was so miserable!
It is natural for me to beat my son, and it is the same reason for my uncle to educate him on my behalf.
Jia Juan didn't dare to hide and took it hard.
Jia Rong, however, acted as if nothing had happened. When Jia Zheng was tired of beating him, he kindly said, "Second Master, it's not nice to spread the word about lynching. No matter what mistake Uncle Jian made, he should be forced into the ancestral hall first."
Master Zheng's mouth trembled. You didn't invite me here. If it wasn't to give you an explanation, why would I do this? I don't want to deal with such mundane things at all.
Now the good guy has let you in again!
"Now that your master is ill, there is no one to take care of the affairs of the clan. Jia Juan comes from our Rong Mansion, so I will discipline him for your master this time." Jia Zheng put down the riding whip in his hand and said seriously with a straight face: " Don't worry, Rong'er, now we just want him to improve his memory, and he will be punished as he pleases when he enters the ancestral hall."
This time Jia Qiang and Jia Qin just cheated money, and they also slandered their elders, which is simply treason.
The punishment will certainly not be light!
The key point is that Wang Xifeng is also the niece of Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing Camp. If this matter spreads to the Wang family, it will cause great trouble.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Second Master." Jia Rong replied respectfully, and then said: "It's not a big deal at first, but Uncle Jian dared to knock the Ningguo Mansion's money away. The uncles and brothers in other houses of the clan may have suffered a lot of grievances. This is The Yi Kiln is originally for the convenience of the clan, but if it becomes a tool for some people to seek personal gain, it will really chill the hearts of everyone in the clan."
Is this really the case? Jia Zheng was a little skeptical.
Then I felt that I was overthinking it. Brother Rong was probably not someone who wanted to avenge himself, so he immediately smiled happily. He shook his hand, it hurt from the beating just now.
Brother Rong is right. If Jia Juan is allowed to act recklessly here, he will sooner or later break the hearts of the rest of the clan. He immediately dismissed Jia Qian as the owner of the kiln, and ordered people to collect the Yi kiln account books and send them to the ancestral hall together.
Wait until you get to the ancestral hall, and then discuss with the masters of each house before making any arrangements.
Jia Zheng did not forget to praise Brother Rong: "Rong'er is really different after receiving the guidance of the immortal. It would be great if your Uncle Bao has such a future."
Brother Rong knew that Jia Juan was going to be unlucky again, and when he heard about the little fat man, he smiled and comforted him: "Second Uncle Bao has the talent to be the top scholar. As long as the Second Grand Master supervises his studies more, he will definitely become a blockbuster."
Jia Zheng nodded in agreement.
Brother Rong did not forget about Jia Qin. He picked up the riding whip from the ground and handed it to Mr. Zheng, saying: "Second Master, as a junior, Brother Qin not only slandered the clan brother, but also spread rumors about the clan leader and uncles and aunts. Compared with Uncle Jian The mistake is more serious. Uncle Qin suffered pain, but Brother Qin didn’t. I’m afraid Uncle Qin would feel unbalanced.”
"this……"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe their ears.
Is Uncle Xiao Rong a devil?
Jia Qin was so frightened that she almost peed, shouting that she knew she was wrong and would not dare to do it again.
The young servants from the two mansions who followed him all whispered that Uncle Xiao Rong was so terrible that he even beat people with drugs just to make Uncle Jian feel more balanced. Just now, I asked Mr. Zheng to supervise the second master Bao's studies. Wouldn't this cost the second master Bao his life?
I just heard that Mr. Bao was beaten by Mr. Zheng two days ago, and it probably had something to do with Mr. Xiaorong.
Could it be that Second Master Bao offended Uncle Xiao Rong one day?
When the people in the two houses thought of this, they all felt that they should avoid Jia Rong in the future. Uncle Jian was chosen here, and Jia Qin was sitting on the ground, and he also tricked Mr. Bao.
Jia Rong was immediately classified as a dangerous person, second only to Mistress Lian.
Jia Zheng couldn't take action anymore.
Brother Rong refused to let Jia Qin go, so he picked up the whip and whipped it a few times. After the beating, he asked: "As your clan brother, can I beat you? Should you be beaten for what you said? Do you know who I'm beating you with these whips for?"
Jia Qin trembled with fear and just nodded, for fear of getting whipped a few more times.
Jia Zheng saw all this and said nothing. Instead, he had an idea and invited Brother Rong aside and said, "Your master is ill, and many things in the clan need to be managed by others. I would like to propose to the masters of each house that you take over the position of clan leader temporarily. What do you think?" "
And such good things?
Jia Rong was happy, but there was confusion on her face: "There is still a great master in the house, so why not ask him to come out and preside over it. I am still young and have no authority, and I don't know much about things in the clan."
"There is no need to worry about it. Sooner or later you are going to take over this position, so you should get familiar with it first. If you have any questions, you can ask your grandpa, or come to Xifu to ask me and your pardon grandpa."
Jia Zheng knew what he was capable of and didn't want to worry about such mundane matters. Wouldn't it be nice to have tea and play chess at home every day? Who cares about the affairs of the clan?
Not to mention the clan affairs, even the household affairs in Rongguo Mansion were all necessary, and he did not take care of them, leaving them all to Sister Feng and Jia Lian.
In Jia Zheng's eyes, worldly affairs and family affairs are all troubles, and urging Baoyu to study is the most important thing at the moment.
Jia Rong didn't care about this trouble, but was ecstatic.
If he really becomes the acting clan leader, and Jia Jing is in charge of the mansion, wouldn't it add another layer of protection?
As for Jia Zhen...
