The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 118 Qingwen Arrives
As for the punishment for those people, although I was a little unhappy to hear it, I still accepted it.

Regarding Zhou Rui and Meng'er's punishment, they thought it was reasonable.After all, everyone knew what was going on, Jia Min didn't report to the officials, and also didn't stare at Mrs. Wang, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Rong, which was to save face for the masters.

If the matter is handled in this way, it will be considered as an end, and there is no need to worry about it in the future.

As for Zhou Rui and Meng'er, they deserved to be unlucky.However, compared to sending officials to beheaded, this is already a very good result.

Neither Jia's mother nor Mrs. Wang's admonishment to Mrs. Wang took it seriously at all, they just regarded it as the two of them talking casually together.

He didn't take Jia Lian's punishment seriously.Although the monthly penalty is one year, when did those few months of money come into his eyes?Jia Lian originally thought that there would be a more serious punishment, but he didn't expect it to be such a punishment.So I felt like I was taking advantage of it.Be smug.I thought Min Lao Si was nothing more than that.

It was only later that he realized how seriously the seemingly inconspicuous punishment of Min Laosi had affected him.

Wang Xifeng's distillery has already been handed back. The so-called punishment this time is just a formal ratification in this matter.The economic punitive effect is not great.

She doesn't care about the monthly fines.Although he was placed on probation for a year, the position of steward was still retained.

It's just that Jia Min came back this time, which made her feel a little depressed. The matter between herself and Brother Rong was still in his hands.However, he said in Rongxi Hall that he didn't want to investigate this matter anymore, so he didn't know whether it was true or not.

I have to find an opportunity in the future to probe his reality and see how much he knows.However, the best way is to ask the emperor to behead his head to save trouble because the fourth carriage business is not doing well.

Another thing that depressed her was that Ping'er had already redeemed herself.

Ping'er was originally Wang Xifeng's maid brought from her natal family, and she has been following her for many years, and has become her right-hand man in many cases.It can be said that she is still a little reluctant to part with Ping'er.

It's just that the old ancestor was the master of this matter, and the old ancestor gave her 200 taels of silver as compensation. In addition, Jia Lian had always been thinking about taking Ping'er into the house as a concubine. Now that Ping'er has redeemed her body, Jia Lian's hopes have also come to naught. It's gone, but it's one less person to compete with her, which somehow makes her feel more balanced.

There is no need to worry about Baoyu being fined.The extra money in those few months was nothing at all. Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang used their own private money to subsidize Baoyu.In fact, as soon as Mother Jia returned to her house, she sent Yuanyang to Baoyu with 100 taels of silver, and told Baoyu to tell Baoyu immediately after she woke up not to worry about the fine.

Jia Rong didn't care about money either. The only thing that was depressing was going to Yeduju for labor reform and ideological reform.

One thing that comforted him was that Jia Min was about to return to the mansion, and his main energy from now on would be on handling the bus and carriage business, so he probably didn't have much time to go back to Yeduju to look after him.As for the remaining people in Yeduju, he doesn't care, if he can't spend some money, ask them to release water, and spend their days there by himself, that's fine.

Only Jia She felt a little strange.

Brother Ming, why didn't you mention it to me this time?So many people have been fined, but I have nothing to do with it, so what the hell is he doing?It's better to be careful.Don't tell him to count again.

When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Min was back, he was both happy and confused.

Happily.Brother Min doesn't have to go back to the countryside, his reputation is preserved.Rongguo Mansion may also survive this crisis.

The trouble is, this time, I don't know how many fights there are.Although he was also worried about Jia Min, that was all he could do at the moment.

At the end of the hour, Jia Min brought Nan'er, Ping'er, Fenghua and Xueyue to Rongguo Mansion.

Jiaoli stayed in Yeduju and started to restart the original unfinished construction projects.The weather is getting colder, and those projects need to be completed before it freezes.Otherwise, construction cannot be done in winter, and it will be delayed for at least four or five months.

Ning'er temporarily stayed at Yeduju, continuing to take care of the business of the winery and the pressure well.

After Jia's mother returned home, according to Jia Min's request, she asked Lai Da to clean up the East Flower Hall, which will be where Jia Min will work in the future.

East Flower Hall, as the name suggests, is the place where the East Gate of Rongguo Mansion is used to receive guests.Because the gate of the east gate of Rongguo Mansion is generally not open, only a small door is opened, so guests are not received here, and it is basically idle.However, the tables and chairs and other utensils inside are still there, and it only needs to be cleaned.Basically, you don't need to add anything.

Ping'er, Fenghua, and Xueyue have already redeemed themselves, so it is no longer appropriate to be servants.Jia Min asked for their opinions, and if he wanted to leave, he could give them some money and ask them to start some business by themselves.

However, the few of them were already used to living with Jia Min, and since Jia Min redeemed them, they were considered benefactors, so naturally they would not leave, so they unanimously decided to follow Jia Min.

Jia Min was naturally very happy, and thought it would be good to follow him, but he had nowhere to go if he insisted on telling them to go.They were all sold by their families since they were young, and they don't actually have much affection for their family members.On the contrary, if you follow yourself, you will have a good home in the future.

In fact, to Jia Min, whether they have redeemed themselves or not now does not make much difference.I didn't treat them as slaves before, and I didn't need them to serve me.There is a lot to do now, they have participated in literacy and numeracy training, and they can be assistants in the future.

It's just that they don't belong to the slaves of the mansion now, and the monthly rules of the mansion, such as food and clothing, are gone.

However, this is precisely what they are least worried about.As long as you follow the fourth master, you will probably have more money than in the mansion, and it will definitely not be less than before.

The old lady was also very particular, she said yesterday that she would send some maids to Jia Min.Compared with Baoyu's treatment, he should be given eight servant girls.

However, in the end, Jia Min refused and only wanted three.Living in the mansion, I don't have to cook by myself, and I don't want to be served by maids, as long as a few of them clean up the housework, that's fine.

Jia Min's residence is in the Farming and Studying Institute not far from Donghua Hall, which has been used as a guest room to receive visitors before.Five main rooms, plus three wing rooms in the east and west, are enough to live in.

After a brief stop in the East Flower Hall, Lai Da led Jia Min, Heping'er, etc. and their carriage to the Farming and Studying Institute.

This Lai Da is the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, he can be regarded as No.1 among the servants besides the master.For such matters, he didn't need to come to arrange things in person, and it would be fine to appoint a general manager to come.

However, since he can get into this position, he has enough heart.Before that, he didn't want to see Jia Min, but now and then, it's different now.In addition to Jia Min's previous methods, especially the scene where Jia Min was thrown into the house from the outside at the Rongxi Hall on the third day of August, he still terrifies him.

This Fourth Master Min, even the ancestors were reprimanded speechless by him, and the other masters feared him like a tiger, and now he has entered the mansion to take over the power, how dare he neglect?I just hope to serve him wholeheartedly, and don't let him catch something wrong.

When I arrived at the Farming and Studying Institute, I saw that there were already three maids waiting.The one in the lead was very beautiful, with a tall figure, fair skin, and a slim waist, but his face was a little arrogant and tense, obviously not very happy.

Although I only met her once here, Jia Min has known her for hundreds of years.Which one do you think?If it wasn't Qingwen, who else could it be?
Oh, the old lady even sent Qingwen to be the foreman.

When betting with Baoyu, Jia Min said that he wanted Qingwen.Later, the bet was lifted, and the matter was left behind.Unexpectedly, this time the old lady took the initiative to send it.

Jia Min thought that Qingwen was sent by the old lady, but it was actually a misunderstanding.The old lady just told Mrs. Wang how many maids she would give Jia Min, but she didn't specify which ones.

Qingwen was actually squeezed out by the attackers, but the reason behind it is unknown to most people.

Qingwen was ranked first in the Jinling Twelve Beauties and Deputy Book. She was graceful and slender, and her face was somewhat similar to that of Daiyu.Female celebrities are also first-class.

However, because of her eloquence and irritable personality, she loves to get the upper hand when things happen, and has a high self-esteem, so her interpersonal relationship is not good.

In Baoyu's place, Xiren was originally the foreman recognized by both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, but Qingwen often ignored her.

Although Xi Ren is tolerant, generous, gentle and honest on the surface, but in his heart, he is very determined and means.

Qingwen is outstanding in appearance and professional in business. She is favored by Baoyu, but she doesn't pay attention to her boss and always fights against her boss. How can Xiren tolerate him?So he tried every means to squeeze Qingwen out.

Qingwen was originally Lai's servant, because Lai Mammy often took her to Jiamu's place. Jiamu saw that she was cute and cute, so Lai Mammy gave her to Jiamu.

In fact, Qingwen is still very much liked by Jiamu, and she is regarded by Jiamu as her confidant, so she gave it to Baoyu.

To exclude Qingwen, go along the lines of Jiamu and Baoyu, it will not work.However, taking the route of Mrs. Wang is a shortcut.

Xiren was sent to Baoyu's side not only to serve Baoyu, but also to monitor him.Baoyu's situation, she had to report to Jia Mu from time to time.Mrs. Wang also needed to know Baoyu's situation, so she instigated the attack.Therefore, Xiren became a double agent for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, serving both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Because of the attacker's slander, Mrs. Wang had long been worried about Qingwen, who was "a bit of a snake waist" by Baoyu's side, so, taking this opportunity, she transferred Qingwen from Baoyu's side and sent her to Jia Min. here.
