After saying that, he waved his hand and saw a boy holding a tray with five large ingots on it, all of which were pure snowflake silver.
"Brother Hui, this is fifty taels of silver. The servants in the government took advantage of your subsidies in the past two years, so I will give you double the amount as compensation."
Jia Lian's attitude seemed extremely sincere and he handed the tray to Jia Hui with his own hands.
Jia Hui was smiling but didn't reach out to pick it up, which made Jia Lian a little embarrassed.
Jia Cui, however, was discerning and quickly smoothed things over, "Brother Hui, these fifty taels of snowflake silver are enough for you to marry a beautiful wife, so accept it quickly.
Brother Lian came to apologize in person this time, but he gave us brothers enough face. "
In fact, Jia Hui didn't have any objections to Jia Lian, but Wang Xifeng's previous actions made him unhappy.
He smiled slightly and said, "Second brother Lian, I'm not angry because the subsidy was cut off in the past two years. I also know how well the Duke's government takes care of us, the descendants of the soldiers.
Without the care of the Duke's government and family, my younger brother's life might not have been so easy. "
What Jia Hui said is true. Although his father died fighting for the Duke's government, his orphans and widowed mother have received a lot of care from the clan for so many years.
If you want to live a good life in this era, your clan members have better connections, not to mention that these brothers from the collateral line are not as disgusting as the direct line.
Jia Lian raised his hand and saluted again, "Brother Hui, if you have been wronged, there is no harm in telling you!"
Seeing Jia Hui mid-sentence, Jia Lian had a guess in his mind. Brother Hui didn't seem to be a troublesome person, so there must be some reason.
Jia Hui smiled when he heard this, "Since Brother Lian said this, I won't hide it.
A few months ago, my aunt Zhou Niang asked Sister-in-law Lian for help and found a job in the mansion looking after the weapons warehouse.
Mingyan, the boy next to Mr. Bao, went to steal weapons and dared to do it. After being punished by me, he went to complain. As a result, Sister-in-law Lian kicked me out of Rongguo Mansion.
My father worked for Rongguo Mansion through life and death, and now that I have been kicked out, if I still take the money with shame, it will not be a shame for my father. "
"What, an ignorant woman dares to do this? This is simply digging into the foundation of the Duke's government." Jia Lian was trembling with anger.
He was barely a sensible person in the Rongguo Mansion. When the old Duke was still alive, he never insulted his soldiers like this.
Jia Lian, followed by Jia Cui and the other ten people, were also filled with anger. Their parents all ate from the same spoon. If the people in the Rongguo Mansion insulted Jia Hui like this, they might not do the same to them in the future.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold. Jia Lian felt cold in his heart. He turned to Jia Hui, Jia Cui and others and bowed to the end.
"This is my wife's fault. Brothers, if you want to blame me, blame me, the elder brother, for my lax discipline.
I, Jia Lian, swear to God that if I ever offend any of my brothers in the clan, I will be struck by thunder and die. "
This oath shocked everyone. Jia Hui was okay, but Jia Cui and others were different.
In their minds, Jia Lian, the inheritor of the Rongguo Mansion, was equivalent to their lord. Being able to make such an oath shocked them. People in this era still paid great attention to oaths.
Jia Cui hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Lian up, "Second brother Lian, it's not your fault. Women know how serious men are."
Several other brothers in the clan also offered words of comfort, and the situation suddenly turned around.
Jia Lian came to Jia Hui and bowed again, "I can't help Uncle Dun this time. It's not right for me to accompany you here. It's just that this time it's about your life. I hope brother Hui will help regardless of the past grievances."
Jia Cui and others on the side also offered help one after another. In their opinion, if Jia Lian can do this, he can be considered a good master.
"It's true that it's still chaos after cutting things out, but it doesn't matter, I got the Great Chu Martial Arts from Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Baoyu's psychic jade was also transferred to me.
If we really want to talk about cause and effect, I actually took advantage of it. Now Jia Lian has given me enough face. If I don't let go, my reputation will be bad among the tribe. "
Of course, the above is all nonsense. Jia Hui just has nothing to do now and wants to go out for fun. This is a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, Jia Hui smiled softly and said, "Brother Lian, there is no need to say anything if the government calls me back. But for the sake of brotherhood, I am personally willing to help Brother Lian this time."
Jia Lian was shocked at first when he heard the first half of the sentence, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jia Hui was willing to help in his personal capacity.
"Brother Hui is giving me Jia Lian face. I am here to thank you," Jia Lian said with a smile. Being able to get Jia Hui's help with his personal charm made him feel more happy than relying on his connections with the Duke's government.
What does this mean? It means that Jia Lian is able to turn these soldiers into a real team.
As long as the foundation is solidified, no matter how partial the old lady is in the future, Jia Baoyu will not be able to take away his right to inherit the title. Thinking of this, a cold light rose in Jia Lian's eyes.
The matter is over, and Jia Lian has returned to the mansion with the soldiers he gathered to settle down. He will set off tomorrow, and he still has a lot to do.
There were exactly twenty soldiers summoned from Zhuangzi outside the city, plus the Jia clan members. Although the number of one hundred soldiers was much less than that of the old Duke, it also made Jia Lian feel more at ease.
A group of soldiers happened to be placed at the martial arts field where Jia Hui once worked. There were several large shops there, and weapons and other things were also there.
When Jia Lian returned to his yard, he was already half dead from exhaustion. He picked up a pot of herbal tea, put it to his mouth and drank it.
"Second Master, drinking herbal tea is harmful to your health. I'll give you a hot pot of tea." Qiao Ping'er walked up and took the teapot.
"Hey, little hoof, I dare to hook up with you while I'm still here. Do you want me to make room for you?" Wang Xifeng said angrily.
"Bang", Jia Lian slapped the table and glared at Wang Xifeng.
"How could you, this prodigal woman, do such a thing as drive Brother Hui out of the house? You actually dared to hide it from me, causing me to be embarrassed today."
Wang Xifeng was frightened by Jia Lian and was stunned for a moment. Then she realized what she was doing and became furious, "Second Master Lian, you are so brave. You dare to slam the table with me for a servant. I am not working so hard just for this family." !”
Seeing Wang Xifeng start to cry, Jia Lian's head was as big as a bucket. Fortunately, Ping'er came over and persuaded her for a long time before Wang Xifeng calmed down, but she was still crying and shedding tears.
Ping'er rolled her eyes at Jia Lian and said, "Second Master, grandma was packing your things just now. Why are you so angry with grandma?"
After Jia Lian woke up, it took a while before he said, "You women don't know how powerful this is. The loyalty of those soldiers is not comparable to that of the servants in the mansion.
Gaining their support is equivalent to gaining support from a large portion of the clan.
In those days, the old prince treated his soldiers much better than his servants. The soldiers could block your sword at critical moments.
Moreover, I have mastered this team. No matter how partial the old lady is, it will not be so easy to pass the title to Baoyu. "
As Jia Lian spoke, the cold light in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, "I can also earn a life for you by then!"
After gathering this group of soldiers, Jia Lian really felt the taste of power. This feeling was so good that people didn't want to give up anymore.
Wang Xifeng stopped crying when she heard Jia Lian's words. She had been envious of the old lady's royal makeup for a long time. The most honorable thing for a woman in this era is her royal decree.
