The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 473
As soon as he entered the door, he was beaten without thinking. Jia Amnesty was naturally surprised.

"Mother, why are you beating your son?"

"Why did you hit you? You did it yourself and pretended to be stupid. Do you think I'm confused and don't know what you're doing all day?"

As the old lady spoke, she took two more sticks.

Jia Amnesty wanted to hide, but seeing the old lady's angry look, he didn't dare to hide, so he had to endure it.

"What mistake did the son make, please tell the mother clearly."

"Okay, I'll explain it to you, so that you won't be convinced."

"This is the first thing. What did you do outside the Great Wall last month?"

"Outside the Great Wall?"

Jia Amnesty trembled all over.

How come even the old lady knows about such a confidential matter.

"Collude with foreign officials and smuggle pig iron out of the Great Wall. Do you dare to do such a thing? Aren't you just trying to die? Do you think that this big family is doing well now, and you have to make some disasters out of it? Are you happy?"

"Mother, the son has never done this."

"How dare you deny it? If someone else tells it, I still don't believe it. Brother Min said, can there be a lie? You didn't do this once or twice. Do you think others don't know? There is no one else in the house. Eyeliner?"

"Brother Ming only stays at home for a few days a year, and we all know about it, let alone others?"

Once he heard that it was Jia Min who said it, Jia Amnesty stopped denying it.

He is clear about Jia Min's abilities.If you want to catch someone's handle, you almost have to catch one right at a time, and no one will run away.

This matter was indeed what Jia Min told the old lady.It's just that the old lady didn't take it seriously at the beginning, so she ignored Jia She.

Now Jin Yijun began to trace Qin Keqing's origin, and placed Zhang Cai in the mansion as an eyeliner, which made the old lady realize the crisis.

After arranging for Jia Lian to get rid of Nanny Lai to silence him, he started looking for Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen, trying to clean up the mess.

"Did you say you are short of money? For so many years, have you been short of food or clothing? There are monthly regulations in the mansion, you have your own business, and you have paid dividends in the past two years. Brother Ming has managed the property in the mansion like this, Now everyone under the master has no worries about food and clothing, you are not satisfied."

"You make money, I won't stop you, but you dare to make any money, just this business, you dare to do it? You do it in the front, and I don't know how many people are watching you in the back. You have the two brothers Ming All of a sudden?"

"No."

"Be honest without you. Even if you earn less, you can earn a safe fortune. If you go on like this, you will not only ruin yourself, but your whole family will be implicated by you in the future. How can you bear it?"

"Mother, my son made a mistake, so I won't dare in the future."

"You dare to tell me that in the future, you disdain children and grandchildren."

As she spoke, the old lady was beaten with a cane again.

"Mother, my son admitted his mistake, why did he still beat me?"

"Why do you still want to beat you? Yes, I will beat you? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're thinking about Yuanyang. Do you think I don't know?"

"Mother don't listen to other people's instigation, the son has no such intentions."

"I want to deny it again. Brother Min told me, is there anything wrong?"

The old lady was determined today and sold Jia Min completely.

"Why is it Brother Ming again?"

Jia She wanted to cry but had no more tears.

"Yes, it's Brother Ming, what's the matter? Do you still dare to settle accounts with him?"

"My son dare not."

"I'm sorry you don't dare. I hope you will go to him, but are you his opponent? Speaking of which, how can you be Ming's opponent? In the first two years, calling Ming made people uncomfortable, Ghost or not, have you forgotten? I am ashamed of you. You are still an elder, let's see how promising you are?"

"Now that you are so old, you still think about Yuanyang all day long. I am such a sweet one, and you still want to take it away from me. Let me tell you, as long as I live one day, you will never think about it. Even if I die, You are not allowed to touch her either. Do you remember?"

"Son remembers."

"Look at Brother Lian. After two years of experience outside, now that he's back, he has rules and regulations, and he is neither humble nor overbearing. And look at you, you are an old man, don't you know how to be shy? You really are getting better and better. "

"The son remembers his mother's teaching."

"You'd better remember it for me, go back and think about it, should I hit you, go."

"It's time to fight, it's time to fight."

I'm also in my 50s, how can I get a beating every time I get a beating.

Jia Amnesty went out and met Jia Zhen at the door.

"Why is uncle so embarrassed?"

"Hey, Brother Zhen, don't mention it, it's not the old lady who hit you."

"Why is the ancestor so angry?"

"If you do something you shouldn't do, let your ancestors know."

"Since it's something you shouldn't do, why don't you keep it secret, so how could your ancestors know about it?"

"Didn't someone inform you?"

"Who is so bold, dare to report on uncle, tell me, I will vent my anger on uncle."

"Hey, who else could it be except Brother Ming? Do you have a way to deal with him?"

"Oh, brother Ming, let's forget about it. I mean, brother Ming doesn't know where he is now, and he can't be found. When he comes back, he will settle the score with him."

"Hey, brother Zhen, I don't know what you have done. If the ancestors ask you, I will do it honestly, so as not to suffer flesh and blood."

"I didn't do anything I shouldn't do, so I'm not afraid."

Jia Zhen forced herself to be calm.

"That's the best. You go, the ancestors will be angry again when it's too late."

Jia Zhen laughed along, bit the bullet and entered the ancestral hall.

"Old ancestor, I don't know what to do with my grandson?"

"Hmph, what are you looking for? Are you still pretending to be stupid with me now?"

"The grandson stays at home every day and rarely goes out. He really hasn't done anything unfaithful or filial."

"Okay, okay, you are indeed a good descendant of the Jia family. It seems that in the future, I will get a memorial tablet for you, and I won't kneel down to my ancestors!"

The old lady suddenly changed her face and moved her crutches.

"Why did my ancestor hit me? What did my grandson do wrong?"

"What mistake did you make, don't you know?"

Of course I know it myself, but I have done too many wrong things. I know which one is exposed?If you say everything, why don't you be beaten to death?

"What's wrong with the grandson, the ancestors just point it out, and the grandson will correct it."

"Hmph, change? Did you change it? It's been a few years, have you changed it? Let me ask you, did you do it three years ago when you robbed women of the people and caused people to die? "

"The old ancestor was wronged. It was just a misunderstanding. After giving the money, the family stopped chasing it, and the government also took care of it."

"It's ready? It's ready, why do I even know it now?"

"It must have been Brother Ming who saw me jealous, so he purposely provoked my ancestors in front of me."

"Brother Ming looks at you jealous? You really think highly of yourself, what do you have that Brother Ming is jealous of? In terms of poetry and articles, can you compare with Brother Ming?"

"Incomparable."

"You can make more money than him?"

"Incomparable."

"You are better at fighting than him?"

"Incomparable."

"You can be an official better than him?"

"Incomparable."

"Brother Ming is still trying to provoke you in front of me?"

"Need not."

"Then why do you still blame Brother Ming? Do you think that Brother Ming is not at home now? Do you think Brother Ming has no fame now and is no longer an official?"

"If there is something wrong, you just rely on Brother Min. Do you think I am too confused and can't tell who is good from who is bad. Who is thinking about this family, who is harming this family, do you think I am Can’t you see it? Do you think my seven or eighty years of food have been in vain?”

"Brother Ming has a bit of a temper, but which one of the things he does is not upright? Which one is not for the sake of the mansion? Which of you can do the things he does?"

"He doesn't even want to be the deputy head of the clan's mansion. He can still have the same knowledge as you. He has nothing to do to plot against you? You are too flattering yourself."

"Say, what bad things have you done these days?"

"This... I found some children from aristocratic families to come to the mansion to play archery."

"Just archery?"

"Let's play a few more."

"Play a few games, you said it lightly. Isn't that just a gathering? Do you think no one is watching you? Are all the Jinyi soldiers eating dry food?"

"This..., my grandson will not dare in the future."

"You said that you are a grandfather, and you don't know how to show off to the younger generation. If everyone is like you, what will the Jia family do in the future? Don't you know how to argue?"

"What the ancestor taught is that the grandson understands."

"Hey, go back. I've told you what I should tell you. After all, you're not my grandson, and it's hard to say too much about you. Go back and think about it yourself."

If you're not your grandson, you'll be scolded and beaten like a grandson. If you're your grandson, I'm still alive?
Hearing the old lady call back, Jia Zhen quickly got up and slipped away.

The old lady knelt down and kowtowed three times to her ancestors.

"Ancestors and clansmen, Jiamen Shishi apologizes to you. It is my ineffective teaching that makes the descendants so useless. If you punish, punish me alone. I will bear all the guilt. Please bless the ancestors and clansmen Jia family, survive this calamity."

After speaking, the old lady sat on the side for a while.Yuanyang came over, helped the old lady up, and walked back slowly.

"Yuanyang, you are growing up, what kind of family do you want to find in the future?"

"The old ancestor doesn't want me anymore? Want to drive me away? I won't leave."

"Silly girl, you can't stay with me for the rest of your life. After you go back, go and call me the First Lady, Second Lady, Feng Girl, Brother Zhen's wife, and Brother Zhu's wife. I have something to say to them."

When the old lady went back, Yuanyang went to call someone.Not long after, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, and Li Wan all came.

When several people arrived, the old lady spoke.

"Yuanyang has served me for so many years, and he is my closest friend. If I am alive, I will be the master of the affairs of Yuanyang. If it is the day I leave, I will make arrangements for Yuanyang's affairs in advance."

"Before I leave, I will leave some dowry for Yuanyang. At that time, I will redeem Yuanyang. As for the whereabouts of Yuanyang, I will be in front of you today, and I ask you to be a witness. At that time, Yuanyang will Make up her own mind, she can stay as long as she wants, and leave as she wants. Even the master of the mansion must not interfere."

Seeing the old lady suddenly say this, everyone felt strange.

But the old lady said so, and they couldn't say anything, so they all agreed.

"There is one more thing, you also remember. Yuanyang's future marriage will be decided by brother Ming. Yuanyang, you remember, if anyone dares to force you in the future, you should go to Ming brother and ask him to make decisions for you. "

"Slave remembered."

This time Yuanyang agreed very readily.

In fact, Yuanyang was also aware of Jia She's infidelity towards her.

I've been worried about this before.She also vaguely heard what the ancestors reprimanded Jia She in the ancestral hall just now.

Now the ancestors arranged this way, knowing that the ancestors were thinking of themselves.

Although she asked the wives to testify, she was also worried that these people would not be able to stop Jia Amnesty at that time.

In the end, I heard the old ancestor say that Fourth Master Min should be the master for himself, and he felt at ease.

With Fourth Master Min as his backer, no one is afraid of anyone.
