"Big girl!" Aunt Lai stood up quickly and gave Yuanchun a gift.
Qin Keqing hurriedly got on the kang, leaving a seat for Yuan Chun.
"This..." Grandma Lai also hesitated for a moment. The purpose of her coming today was to deregister the whole family. However, there must be a charter. If you ask to leave your country, then you have to ask and you have to show sincerity; if the Jia family drives you away, then the Jia family is giving in. Now it is obvious that the Jia family does not want to give in, and they also hold on to the hope of the Lai family. Sun Tzu makes progress, please! But Grandma Lai refused to do this. "The Lai family is the servant of the Jia family. The slave and the old lady grew up together. Now that they are deporting themselves, the slave is confused. Even if it is for the sake of the boy, the old slave I don’t want to either.”
"That's it. Originally, the Lai family was a servant of the Jia family, an old face for several generations. If your boy can study and pass the exam, it makes sense if you think about it this way. There is always some unwillingness. The result is that Donating your future with money, I really don’t know what you are thinking. You deprived your grandson of his citizenship and failed to teach him well. Both Master Lian and Brother Rong were imitating Jue. Just to look good, they donated the empty position of a fifth-grade scholar. What's the use of donating your empty work? With that money, it's better to buy a shop and a house for your children and grandchildren."
Wang Xifeng said with a busy smile, the meaning is very clear, we don’t want you to leave, you have been slaves for several lifetimes, you are our people in life, and our ghosts in death. Taking the grandson out would actually be a huge disloyalty. This means they want to jump ship and dislike us!
"Nowadays, Mr. She and Mr. Baoyu no longer allow Baoyu to do this. They are severely punishing him in school! Since your boy is not the material for studying, why not go to the shop to help, at least you can support yourself. Since you have studied , I don’t need the physical contract anymore. After a few years of apprenticeship, I might be able to open my own shop in the future." Yuanchun nodded and said smoothly. It's a matter of course.
"This, I have to go back and talk to the parents of the child." Aunt Lai's mouth was bitter. Wang Xifeng and Yuan Chun didn't give her a chance to bargain. Anyway, we don't allow you to leave your citizenship, and donating an official position is not a good idea. Already refused. And Yuanchun's words made her even more painful, because Yuanchun didn't treat them as outsiders, but that was the tone he used towards slaves. Your ancestors have been slaves for generations. If your descendants want to escape, I will give you a chance, but the court will not give it. So listen to me and be a good servant!
No matter how much hatred I felt in my heart, I could only lower my head, said a few words obediently, and then resigned. He didn't have the intention to go to Rongqing Hall to wait for the old lady. He held the hand of the little girl brought from the Lai family outside the door and went to Lai's office.
Lai Da and Lai Er were silent after hearing what Grandma Lai said. In fact, why did the Lai family have to ask the Jia family to help donate officials? In fact, to put it bluntly, I am also afraid.
They are the servants of the Jia family. It is not impossible to skip them and join other families, but if the people of the Jia family really find out, they will not be able to eat and just go around. If it doesn't work, the whole family will be ruined. Just one sentence, betraying the master, how can the people of Xinmen offend the Jia family for slaves like them? Even though the Jia family has been ruined, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Therefore, the Jia family must help with this task. What you want is not help, but consent. The favor you did to us was to agree to my grandson's appointment as an official. If something happens later, you will have no choice but to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.
The two masters were confused before, so this matter was easy to handle. Now the old lady has taken charge of the matter again, and the eldest master has taken strict control of the seals and posts of Rong Mansion, and is not as casual as before.
And the second master transferred the yamen, and all the Qingke masters were gone, and there was no way to fool Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng will not give anyone a guarantee if he is beaten to death. The previous Jia Hua (Jia Yucun) has come several times. Jia Zheng has said that he has reported it and asked him to wait for the notice from the Ministry of Officials. If there is no notice, it means that the court has not Choose him. Jia Hua was so angry that he lost his temper. Because it was recommended by others but not used by the court, can you blame Jia Zheng? I'm not your father, can I really guarantee your promotion and fortune?
So now the Lai family is actually a bit stuck. The Lai family is really the servants of the Jia family. They have been honored for several lifetimes and have many relatives. Otherwise, Jia Mu would not have married her dowry girl into the Lai family. What he likes is the background of this servant.
But after so many years, there is actually a bit of a tail that cannot be lost. In addition, they are in charge of two houses. To be honest, they have been in charge of the house for three years. Even the dogs are disgusted. There are many hills in the house. If you want to do errands and make money, it is not that easy. Otherwise, the Lai family would not have thought of quitting and asked the old lady to let Lai Shangrong go. Read the book
Now Lai Da and Lai
Second, in fact, I don’t even take care of things, I just deal with errands. They are all looking for an opportunity to escape as a family. Now it is obvious that these women are the head of the family. And these women were all taught by the old lady step by step, and none of them are easy to fool.
"How about, when the old lady gets up, mother goes to see the old lady?" Laiji thought about it and said.
"Really, if the old lady hadn't taken over the power, what would we be like now?" Lai Da glanced at his brother and thought, "But, mother, do you want to go and talk to the old lady and talk about the family life? You will stay with the old lady for the rest of your life. , there is always some dignity."
Aunt Lai narrowed her eyes and thought about it. Speaking of which, she had not seen the old lady since Daiyu entered the house. She had thought of coming in to pay her respects during the Chinese New Year, but the old lady said that the family kept filial piety and thanked guests behind closed doors.
During the New Year this year, even the old relatives only send New Year gifts to each other, but the door of the Jia family is closed. She didn't like to come over originally, so she just had someone give her a New Year's gift to show her filial piety, so she let it go.
After that, the old lady took her family to the countryside, and she would never go there. So in these years, she also hated her status as a servant. Whenever she went to Rong Mansion, she had to be reminded again and again that she was just an old woman with a little respect in this mansion.
Waiting for Ou Mengmeng to wake up, she drank tea before calling in Aunt Lai. Ou Mengmeng had been watching the offense and defense between Ou Mengmeng and Jia Mu these days, so the old saying is true, a bowl of rice will bring a loss. It’s the same as the line from a certain drama, “You’ve got a thousand dollars and you want ten thousand dollars. When you become the emperor, you want to become an immortal?”
"Is this good, old lady?" Grandma Lai bowed, and came forward to bow warmly. She looked at the old lady up and down, and said with a straight face, "Why have you lost weight? Are you not being well taken care of by the people around you?"
"No, without you, I can't eat or sleep, and no one can compare to you." Ou Mengmeng nodded, smiled, and waved her hand, "Why do you have time to come in?"
Grandma Lai's face froze and the corner of her mouth twitched, but she still took the tea bowl from Ou Mengmeng's hand and went to change it for a bowl of tea.
"Is something wrong?" Ou Mengmeng didn't answer and looked up at her.
Awkwardly, Grandma Lai put the tea next to Ou Mengmeng. After a moment of hesitation, "It's still about the slave's grandson. I want to let him go. I always want to do better. I want to ask my ancestors for a parentage."
