My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 201 Retrenchment of Staff

As soon as Jia Yu said these words, the expressions of everyone in the Jia family changed, especially Mrs. Wang's face, which turned darker and whiter, then whiter and darker again, and the look she was looking at Jia Yu was immediately wrong.

If Jia Yu usually showed respect to his mother-in-law, today he made it clear.

He sneered and said: "I have grown up so old, but I have never heard of anyone being born from a stone. If it were true, the person born would not be a human but a monster."

"Puch!" Suddenly someone laughed. When everyone looked back, it turned out to be Xiangyun.

Although she knew she shouldn't laugh at this time, Xiangyun couldn't help it, but she quickly covered her mouth, and then waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that she was just careless.

Mrs. Wang was furious, but Xiangyun was Jia Mu's natal family after all, so she couldn't get angry easily, so she could only glare at Yuanchun in displeasure and see what your husband said.

Yuan Chun also thought it was funny and gave Jia Yu a roll of his eyes. The meaning was very clear, that's about it.

Jia Yu continued: "I don't know what the intentions of the people spreading the rumors are?

All I know is that Han Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake and achieved great success. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe.

Baoyu, can you tell me what a good omen it is for this person to come into the world with Baoyu in his mouth? "

Silence...dead silence.

If what he just said made everyone laugh in their hearts, what he said next made them feel like they were falling into an abyss.

If this word spreads, everyone in the Jia family will be beheaded in the execution ground.

Especially Mrs. Wang, she almost fainted with fright.

No matter what era, rebellion is a major crime against the Nine Clan.

Let alone doing it, even if you have this thought, it is unforgivable.

She comes from a womanly family, and the reason why she deliberately let people spread the allusion of being born with a jade in her mouth is just to help her precious son increase his popularity and reputation. Who knew that in Jia Yu's mouth, he actually became a person with evil intentions and ulterior motives?

Jia Zheng was also frightened like chaff. He had loved reading since he was a child and his thoughts were all about loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. He never dared to have such thoughts in his dreams.

He said tremblingly: "Think twice, don't say this nonsense. If word spreads, our huge Jia family will be destroyed."

Moreover, the Jia family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and their sincerity towards Your Majesty can be seen in the sky. "

"Of course I know." Jia Yu sighed softly, "But the question is, since you don't have this heart, why do you want to spread this allusion about being born with a jade in your mouth?

Anyone with a sound mind would know how it is possible for a mortal flesh fetus to give birth to a piece of beautiful jade? What is the purpose of Jia's family always publicizing this matter? "

In fact, from Jia Yu's point of view, the Jia family finally ended up in a clean state. Although it was indeed the reason why the people in the Jia family did not live up to their expectations and committed suicide, there were still factors in this aspect.

From the perspective of the royal family, Te Niang's father, as an emperor, had no strange phenomena when he was born. A young man from the Jia family was actually born with a jade in his mouth. What do you want to do?

Although the emperor also knew that with the capabilities of the Jia family, rebellion was just a joke, but this did not prevent him from feeling unhappy.

On weekdays, it was nothing, but when the Jia Mansion suddenly collapsed, the emperor didn't mind taking advantage of the situation and sending the entire Jia Mansion into the clouds.

Hearing this, everyone in the Jia family looked at Mrs. Wang.

Everyone knows where this rumor first came from, of course it was Baoyu’s mother.

It is estimated that at the beginning she just made up a story casually to bring good fortune to Baoyu, but there is a saying that after repeating the lie many times, even she believed it to be true.

"Snapped!"

There was only a crisp sound, and it turned out that Jia Zheng, who was frightened and angry, slapped Mrs. Wang on the face.

"Bitch!"

Jia Zheng said angrily: "Look at what good things you have done. Are you trying to kill our whole family?"

Mrs. Wang covered her face and did not dare to tell the difference, she just cried bitterly.

Jia Zheng wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Jia Yu.

"Father-in-law, what has happened has already happened, there is no point in fighting anymore.

This matter is neither big nor small.

But as long as we pay attention to ourselves, it won't be a big deal. But from now on, everyone must pay attention. From now on, we can't say anything like this about being born with a jade in one's mouth. Do you understand? "

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

Jia Mu also said quickly: "Have you heard what Brother Yu said? If anyone spreads this rumor again in the future, I will have the old lady beaten to death to avoid dragging down others."

"besides."

Jia Yu added: "The life in the Jia family is really too extravagant. There are more than ten masters, but they serve more than a thousand people. This cannot be justified.

Therefore, it is enough to leave one or two hundred people from Ningrong's Second Mansion, and all the others will be sent away.

Otherwise, no matter how big the Jia family's wealth is, it will not be enough to cause so many people troubles.

Furthermore, I guess the harvest that Zhuangzi has given to the two governments over the years has also gradually decreased, right?

Immediately send people to investigate the Zhuangzi outside to see if the leaders of the Zhuangzi have enriched their own pockets.

Furthermore, I suggest that you also conduct a thorough investigation of the housekeepers headed by them.

After all, you wouldn’t think that the Lai family is the only one in the huge Jia family, right?”

Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Jia family became extremely ugly.

Mother Jia's expression also became complicated. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Check... let me check them all... As long as they are found out, every one of them will be sent to the police for me!"

Seeing Jia Mu's words, Jia Yu nodded: "Since the old lady can say that, it's easy to handle. The next step is up to you."

After saying that, he stood up and stretched a lot: "Okay... Now that we have eaten and talked, it's time for you guys to go back and rest."

Seeing this, Jia Mu also nodded: "Okay, I'm a hard-working brother Yu today.

The old lady almost forgot, today is your wedding day, so the old lady won't disturb you, go back and have a good rest. "

"By the way, old lady." Jia Yu took the opportunity to say: "I feel sorry for bothering you here these days.

Today, a servant came to report that the Lai family's mansion had been cleaned up and was ready for habitation.

In this case, let's go back first. "

"Forget it, Brother Yu, your mansion has been sorted out, so go back.

Moreover, today is a happy day for the little girl who is exploring spring, and it is not good for me to keep you here.

In this case, you should go back first. "

Seeing that Jia Mu agreed, Jia Yu took Yuan Chun, Tan Chun and other daughters back first.

After Jia Yu and others left, Jia Mu looked at Jia Zhen.

"Brother Zhen, you also heard what brother Yu said just now.

Our two houses, Ning and Rong, have been together for more than seventy years. The old lady remembers that when we first got married, the number of people in our two houses was only more than 200. In just over fifty years, the number of people in our two houses has doubled. Nearly ten times.

These people are like worms attached to Jia's body, like leeches, desperately sucking the flesh and blood of Jia's family. How can we afford it? " Seeing Jia Mu's slightly tired face, Jia Zhen was silent for a while and then said: "Old lady, what do you mean..."

"Just do what Brother Yu wants."

Mother Jia sighed: "If we don't reduce the number of people, our two houses will really be dragged to death."

Everyone was silent after listening to Jia Mu's words. Everyone understood the truth, but so many servants had lived in the Ning and Rong mansions for so many years.

After any one is cut off, a lot of relationships will be left behind. This is like a person whose body is covered with tumors. If he wants to survive, he must cut off the tumors. But the tumors are not so easy to cut. Maybe the tumors will disappear. After the cut, the person burped due to heavy bleeding.

Jia Zhen shook her head, "Old lady, people are not so easy to tailor.

There are so many people in Ningguo Mansion. If most of them are laid off at once, there will definitely be a big mess.

It's better to do this. Rongguo Mansion will cut down the number first, and then we'll see the effect. What do you think? "

When Jia Mu heard this, she knew that Jia Zhen was irresponsible, and she sighed helplessly: "That's all, it's up to you to make the decision in Ningguo Mansion anyway, so the old lady won't interfere.

I'm tired too. You all should go back. "

"Okay, you can rest first, and your grandson will go back first!"

Soon, everyone in the Jia Mansion dispersed.

Jia Mu sat there and thought for a long time, then shook her head helplessly.

She realized that it was easy to say that she wanted to lay off employees, but it was not that simple to do. It required skill, ability, and strong people to do it.

But after she thought about all the people in Jia's family, she found that the most suitable person was actually Jia Yu, who had just left.

It's just that although Jia Yu is his grandson-in-law, as a dignified earl and an important official of the court, how can he have the time and energy to deal with the affairs of the inner house for himself.

Moreover, if Jia Yu really wants to handle this matter, if Diao Nu fails to cooperate, a lot of people may be killed or injured, which is not what she wants to see.

Later, Jia Mu thought of Yuanchun again.

But the idea was rejected by her as soon as it came up. Yuanchun had been pregnant for several months. If something went wrong because of this matter, Jia Yu would definitely fall out with her.

Finally, Jia Mu rubbed her temples, sighed and said in an inaudible voice: "If we really can't find the right person, we can only let Feng girl try."

…………

After Jia Yu and Jia Mu said goodbye, they went back to the yard with Yuanchun, Tanchun, Qingwen, Baoqin, Jinchuan and other girls to start packing.

Everyone knows that it is definitely a very long process for a woman to pack up her things.

So Jia Yu made an excuse to leave the courtyard, and soon climbed over the wall to Ning Guo Mansion.

When Yuanchun was in Jia Mansion, he lived in the east backyard. Next door was the private alley adjacent to Ningguo Mansion. After crossing the private alley, there was Ningguo Mansion.

At this time, because it was getting late, there were not many people in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Yu came to the yard where Jia Zhen lived based on the terrain that had been surveyed in advance.

After he sneaked into the yard, he heard Jia Zhen's voice coming from inside.

"Bastard...bastard...don't let me find the opportunity, otherwise I will kill him."

You's voice also sounded: "Master... Brother Yu is no longer the powerless white man he was back then. Now he is the dignified Uncle Dingyuan. We can't fight him.

Besides, he is also the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai of Rongguo Mansion, so why do you have to be at odds with him?

Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to live in peace and harmony? "

"What do you know about women?"

Jia Zhen's angry voice sounded.

At this time, because the weather was a bit hot, Jia Zhen's house did not close the windows.

Jia Yu sneaked to the window, looked inside through the gap, and found Jia Zhen lying on the bed, and Youshi was persuading him while applying medicine.

But instead of having any effect, Youshi's persuasion made him even more angry.

"Jia Yu is a rebellious person with a rebellious mind.

Although he came from the same twelfth room in Jinling as our Ningrong Second Mansion, he has no regard for the same clan and clan.

I would rather give away tens of millions of taels of business to the imperial court and those nobles, but refuse to share the profits with our two governments.

Instead, he advised the old lady to cut off the servants. Listen...is this still human talk?

Our ancestors finally conquered the country for Taizu. What’s wrong with future generations enjoying it?

Why did it turn out to be such an outrageous thing when it came to his mouth?

Look at the princes and princes in Shenjing City. Which one of them is not a wealthy family with hordes of servants like rain? Our two houses only have a thousand people, so what does it mean to compare with others?

It's fine if he doesn't help us get money, and he also asks us to reduce the number of servants.

If we really have to cut off the servants, who will serve us? How can the huge Ningguo Mansion maintain its dignity?

Just watch, when I am healed, I will definitely find a way to kill this kid! "

"Master, please don't mess around. Is this going to cause big trouble?"

Youshi has heard more than once that her man wants to kill Jia Yu.

The whole person turned pale with fear.

"Okay... women have long hair and short knowledge. What do you understand?" Jia Zhen pushed You away impatiently, "Go... ask someone to bring me a table of food and wine. I want to have a good drink."

"Master, you are injured, so it is better not to..."

"Snapped!"

Before You could finish her words, Jia Zhen slapped her in the face and scolded: "Bitch... Didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you hurry up!"

Youshi burst into tears immediately after being slapped. She didn't dare to talk back. With tears in her eyes, she packed her things and silently went out to prepare the food and drinks.

Seeing Youshi going out to prepare wine and food, Jia Zhen lay down on the bed again.

While covering his red and swollen cheeks, he cursed, "Jia Yu, son, I must let you die...let you die..."

After Jia Zhen scolded him for a while, he fell asleep in a daze before Youshi came back after a tiring day.

Seeing Jia Zhen sleeping, Jia Yu turned over and entered the house. He stretched out his palm and chopped off a certain part of Jia Zhen's neck.

Jia Zhen, who was sleeping, snorted and fell asleep.

Then Jia Yu took a cup of tea from the side, took out a pill from her arms, scattered it, melted it into the tea and fed it to Jia Zhen.

After doing all this, Jia Yu put the things back to their original places and then left Ningguo Mansion...
