The Red Mansions

Chapter 285 The ending of the servant of Jia's house
three days in a row.

The Jia family is rectifying the family tradition and checking the servant's property.

But what Jia Yun was worried about did not happen.

The emperor did not send anyone to inquire about his meddling in Jia's house.

This shows that he did not touch the emperor's nerves.

If you know it, you will turn a blind eye and close one eye.

On the afternoon of the third day, many yamen servants came to Shuntian Mansion.

Including Brother Lai, Nanny Lai, etc., one counts as one.

As long as they are greedy, or do evil in private, they will all be arrested and exiled to the frontier.

For servants who eat inside and out, exile to the frontier is the custom, and the punishment is extremely severe.

Those who made minor mistakes were all demoted to the lowest level of handymen.

In addition, Jia Yun sent several teams here.

Going to the various farms in Jia's mansion and inspecting the servants in charge will definitely yield a lot.

And Li Wan's prestige in Jia's mansion was also established after this incident.

This effort was too great, and they acted vigorously, directly investigating Jia's mansion to the bottom.

Some pampered servants were all punished, and the atmosphere of Jia's mansion suddenly changed drastically.

"It should have been checked long ago! By now, it's a good deal for them!" Wang Xifeng gritted his teeth.

Li Wan shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's because of Brother Yun's support that I have such awe-inspiring prestige this time."

"At the end of the day, I was just standing on the bright side as a cover, and I didn't do anything real."

"The account books at home are also checked by the maids he sent, and they are all clever maids."

"And the timing is right this time, I'm the only one in the family."

"No one is holding back, it's a sudden attack again, check it out and be sure."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "That's true."

"Sister Feng was in Jia's house back then, didn't she also want to take care of things?"

"But it didn't work in the end, because there were always people who wouldn't let her take care of it."

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Let her take care of it, why are the masters greedy for things in the public treasury?"

"Brother Yun hits the nail on the head, the masters are more greedy." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"Even the old lady is well aware of this, but she always thinks that Jia's family has a great career."

"Afterwards, everyone will be greedy and form a habit, and it will be hard to get back."

"Those servants are fine, you can't even punish your own sons and grandchildren, right?"

"Besides, on the bright side, the Jia family is still in charge of Jia She, so we can't go too far."

To put it bluntly, it was a few masters who took the lead.

There is no such problem in Ningguo Mansion.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang are all greedy.

Jia Zheng may be better, and may not take the initiative to be corrupt.

As the second master in the mansion, he also has Mrs. Wang in charge of housework.

People and things in the mansion can't get around him.

But how can he enjoy such a luxurious life with his little income and monthly bill?

It must be pretending to be confused, not taking the initiative, but not refusing.

So, no one is innocent.

Of course, Jia Zheng was not involved in the rectification of the Jia Mansion this time.

But none of his servants let go.

Before the rectification, some members of the Jia family went to work with him.

Let him stay in the room obediently and don't come out to wander.

So this time, even the ones who were just talking did not come out, and it was difficult for those servants to stand up.

Jia Yun asked, "Where's Ningguo Mansion? What's the situation over there?"

"That's the big house over there, and more of them have been wiped off the books." Li Wan pondered.

"How much, I didn't ask in detail."

"As agreed earlier, all the money confiscated by the two governments will be cashed in."

"Then pay back part of the money that Jia's family owes Xia Jingui."

"When repaying the money, there were witnesses from the Bafang family of Jia's family. This matter cannot be faked."

"My side has already sent all the money over."

"In the Ningguo Mansion, the You family is in charge, and it is justifiable to pay back the debts."

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Yun and said, "You arranged this too?"

"It was arranged by him, otherwise how could I be so thoughtful?" Li Wan answered with a smile.

Recently, she has been devastated by Jia's affairs, and has no idea at all.

Fortunately, when she came to ask Jia Yun for help, he arranged the matter in a few words and didn't make her worry at all.

Although Jia's family is poor now, the family style is better and life is much more comfortable.

Even Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong and others.

Also because of this rectification of the Jia Mansion incident, they all became honest.

I'm afraid that if I don't obey again, I will be brought to the pond fish.

Especially Jia Rong, the cat was at home during this time, and he didn't step out of the house.

Jia Yun nodded and asked, "Is Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's funeral money enough?"

"All of them are kept, including those few, just in case." Li Wan nodded.

The old lady Jia is dying, and the future of Jia Zhen and Mrs. Wang is uncertain.

The necessary silver must be reserved for expenses.

As for the expenses in the mansion, it is only a small head now.

After all, after removing those moths, the number of servants in the mansion decreased by seventy to eighty percent.

Instead, the rest are low-level servants, which cost little.

As for a few masters, how much can they actually spend?

What's more, after the murder case in Jia's house, they could no longer make up their minds, which saved a lot of money.

So in the future, as long as the farm is well managed, the family will not have to worry about food and clothing.

Wang Xifeng sighed: "It's a pity, if only I could do this!"

She just likes such a scene, tidying up inside and out, that's really cool!
Li Wan hurriedly said: "Come on, you, you only want to show off your prestige."

"After the old lady woke up, I still don't know what to do!"

Jia Yun said: "There is no need to do anything, just report truthfully."

"You did this matter aboveboard. You were doing a decent job, and you had the Jia family to assist you."

"If she doesn't even have such eyelids, she will live such a long life in vain."

Li Wan said: "But in my heart, I just feel a little uneasy."

Jia Yun pondered and said: "Then you should go and discuss with Mr. Zheng first."

"They said that when the old lady woke up, she would take Jia Lan out of Jia's mansion, saying that she would leave a bloodline for the eldest family of Jia's family."

"Others may not agree, but Mr. Zheng is a fool, he will definitely agree."

"This... alright! I really don't want to stay in Jia's house any longer." Li Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "With Jia Zheng nodding, the old lady wants to trouble you, and he will stand up."

"You don't have to come forward, just wait and see what happens."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Didn't you build a Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden?"

"When you really leave Jia's mansion, go to my farm and be a real Daoxiang old farmer, hehe..."

Li Wan also covered his mouth and smiled, suddenly thought of something, and quickly said:
"By the way, sister-in-law Liu in the kitchen, I want to ask you for a favor."

"She has a daughter named Liu Wu'er who wants to join your family."

"I won't persuade you much about this matter. Whether you accept it or not, you can make up your own mind..."
