The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 83 Confrontation ([-])

When Jia Zheng cried and knelt down, Mother Jia was taken aback.

"My son knows that Brother Ming has many bad things. Since mother doesn't want to see Brother Ming, my son will send Brother Ming back to the countryside tomorrow."

It was Wang Xifeng and Baoyu's idea to humiliate Jia Min, but Mother Jia didn't know about it.The others knew about it, and although they felt it was inappropriate, since Wang Xifeng and Baoyu had always been favored, who would dare to stop them?
Even if Baochai saw it and felt that it was too much and would damage the dignity of the mansion, she could only quietly look for Yuanyang, hoping to find Wang Xifeng through Yuanyang and settle the matter.

"What do you want to see or not? You don't want to eat wine, what are you talking about here?"

Jia Zheng didn't speak any more, just kowtowed blindly.

Although he is unwilling to manage family affairs, he is not ignorant of the family situation.He also knew that Jia Min didn't invite Jia's mother and the people in the house.In addition, these recent events happened in such a public place, so I thought it was Mother Jia's idea.

In Jia Zheng's view, no one except Jia's mother would have the guts to humiliate a master like this.

"What happened? Does any of you know?"

Mother Jia asked everyone, but no one dared to answer her.Although most people already know what's going on, no one wants to show up at this time.

"Yuanyang, don't you say anything?"

Mother Jia still trusts mandarin ducks the most.

Yuanyang looked around, with a perplexed look on her face, and finally leaned closer to Jiamu's ear and told what she had heard from Baochai.

Jia Mu's expression changed immediately, she hurriedly left the banquet, stumbled through the banquet, and came to Jia Min's small table.

However, Jia Min is no longer there.

"Where did Brother Min go?"

No one answered Jiamu's words.

"Who did this?"

Mother Jia picked up her crutches and knocked on the small table vigorously.

Still no one said anything.

"Okay, all of you are pretending to make me happy all day long, and dare to do anything behind your back. Even cats and dogs, when they come to our house, they also want to give a bowl of food. How should I say, He is also a master, even the servants are here to eat and drink, but let a master eat pig food here, is your conscience called a dog?"

The more Jia Mu talked, the more angry she became. She raised her crutches and smashed the porcelain bowls and bowls on the small table.

After swinging it a few times, suddenly, with a sway, he fell to the ground and passed out.

Now the crowd panicked, and hurriedly gathered around, shouting, shouting, some pinching people, and some calling imperial physicians.He hurriedly carried it back to the house and put it on the kang.

After a while, Mother Jia woke up by herself, but she just lay there without opening her eyes.

After such a thing happened, how could everyone have the desire to drink.Most of the housekeepers disappeared.Only a few Lai Da few, afraid of being sent, dare not leave.

As soon as Baoyu saw Jia's mother leave the table and arrived at the small table, she knew that something was wrong, and ran away without a trace.

Wang Xifeng originally hid in the distance to watch the fun, but when she saw Jia Zheng crying and kowtowing to Jia's mother, she felt that something was wrong.Seeing Jia's mother getting angry again, she realized that the matter had become serious.

Only then did she realize that she had played a bad move.

It turned out that she thought that if she gave such a meal to Fourth Min, he would not eat it, so she must have turned around and left immediately.

Whoever it was, could not sit still after being so humiliated in front of so many masters and servants.

Unexpectedly, although the fourth Min didn't eat, he didn't leave either.He just sat there and drank wine.

Once Jia Min drank, Wang Xifeng was in trouble.

After all, she still has some brains and knows the key to this matter.

It is a big taboo to humiliate Jia Min like this.

First of all, Jia Min is also the master, so to humiliate him like this is to make the conflict between the masters public in front of the servants.

What is especially taboo is that there are outsiders such as Princess Nan'an and some relatives here, which is tantamount to making the disagreements in his mansion public.

The final result was that this matter became a scandal in Jia's house and was treated as a joke by outsiders.

Whether it's house fighting or unspoken rules, it's the normal state of big families.However, these are all carried out secretly, at least within the family.No family is willing to let this kind of thing be known to the outside world.

Princess Nan'an and her relatives couldn't stay here any longer, so they left one after another.They walked forward, and the banquet tables and chairs were cleaned up behind them.

The 75-year-old birthday banquet of Shi Taijun in the Jia Mansion, which caused a sensation in the whole city, lasted for 8 days and cost more than 5000 taels of silver. It ended with such an embarrassing ending.

Although Jia's mother is now the actual head of the Jia mansion, from a system point of view, Mrs. Wang is still the head of the Rongguo mansion.

When such a thing happened, it was not only Mrs. Wang's dereliction of duty, but also a serious blow to her reputation.If someone studies carefully, they can also question her ability to manage the family.

The occurrence of such a shameful incident at least shows that she is out of control in terms of the people and affairs in the mansion.

After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Wang's smiling face immediately turned livid.

"Brother Lian and daughter-in-law, what's going on?"

All eyes immediately focused on Wang Xifeng.

"I just asked. They are both from Zhou Rui's family and from Lin Zhixiao's family. It's just because their men have some troubles with Brother Min on weekdays. These two bastards want to take the opportunity to humiliate Brother Min and provoke The masters are at odds. It’s just that I didn’t expect outsiders to see it and lose face.”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that it was Wang Xifeng who was trying to catch the dead ghost.

That Zhou Rui's family and Lin Zhixiao's family, no matter how much they hated Jia Min, they were servants after all, how could they have the guts to do such a thing that openly humiliated their master.Even if they were deceived by lard, they would not dare to do such a thing.

"Shut up these two bastards in the stable and wait for the old ancestors."

Mrs. Wang naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense, but at this moment, what could she do?Are you going to track down the mastermind behind it?Wang Xifeng is my niece, after chasing her, didn't she catch her?

Lai Da led a few servants and his mother-in-law to the kitchen, and dragged away Zhou Rui's family and Lin Zhixiao's family without any explanation.

The person was taken away from this side, and a porter came in from the other side and reported it.

"Fourth Master Min is out of the house. Before leaving, he asked us to pass a message to our ancestors."

"The old lady is not in good health. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Mrs. Wang said with a sullen face.

Now, she is very eager to know the news about Jia Min, and she is very worried that that bastard will do something out of the ordinary.

At the same time, she also wanted to know what exactly Jia Min would say to her ancestors, so she could prepare in advance.

"Fourth Master Min said that since he couldn't buy a meal in the mansion with thousands of taels of silver, he had to go out and spend a few taels of silver to eat."

This sentence conveys a lot of information.

First of all, in terms of numbers, I took 3000 taels of silver for my ancestor's birthday, but you didn't even give me a meal. Are you still doing human affairs?

Secondly, it is the use of the 3000 taels of silver.

It turns out that my 3000 taels are for the birthday of my ancestors.But, it's not anymore, it's used to buy a meal in your Jia's house.

That is to say, I no longer treat you as family members, we are just a business relationship.

The masters, big and small, are all sensible people, and they all understood the meaning of this sentence at this time.

It is also because they are all understanding people, so although they understood, no one came out to point it out.

"Fourth Master Min also said..."

The doorman hesitated.

"What else did you say?" Jia Amnesty asked hastily.

What he is most worried about now is that Jia Min has completely torn his face and asked him to cash in his bet.

"He also said that when the time comes, he will come to the mansion again to seek justice from his ancestors. If..."

The doorman hesitated again.

"What are you talking about, talk!"

Jia Amnesty was really in a hurry.

"Fourth Master Min also said that if the ancestors can't give him justice, he will seek justice himself."

"Bold man, tell him to come, and see if I don't break his leg."

Jia Amnesty also wanted to say that seeing Mrs. Wang's unkind expression, she restrained herself.

Let's say that when Jia Zheng saw Jia Min being humiliated, he was agitated for a moment and thought it was deliberately arranged by Jia's mother.

For more than ten years, Jia Min has been homeless, and he has not fulfilled the responsibility of raising him. Now that Jia Min's mother is dead, every time he thinks about coming here, he feels a little guilty.So when I got excited, I wanted to ask Mother Jia to leave a way for her son to survive.

Later, seeing that Jia's mother didn't know the situation, she was so angry that she passed out again, only then did she realize that she was wrong.I forgot about Jia Min, and just felt that I was sorry for my mother, so I knelt on the ground and couldn't afford it.

The reason why Jia's mother took care of Jia Zheng instead of Jia She, the elder son's family, was that she preferred the younger son more.Seeing his son like this at this time, his heart ached for a long time.So he stopped pretending to be unconscious and sat up.

"Get up, always kneeling like this, I feel very uncomfortable."

Seeing Jia Zheng got up, Mother Jia took a sip of tea and continued talking.

"It's just that you are also in your fifties, so why are you so ignorant. I don't like Brother Min's temperament, but he is my grandson after all. Since I agreed to bring him back, how could I dismiss him?" He's going back? So, don't you talk nonsense about sending him back to the country."

"Although I am 75, I am not old-fashioned. In front of so many outsiders, humiliating my grandson, such a disgraceful thing, I can do it? Don't say it is me, it is others My master, who would be so ignorant to do such a thing that ruins the reputation of my Jia family?"

At this time, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others have also entered.Hearing what Jia Mu said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

In the morning, Jia Min gave presents to the masters in the house, but the matter of Baoyu and Wang Xifeng was missing, and the whole house knew about it.In her heart, Mrs. Wang also decided that the humiliation of Jia Min must have something to do with the two of them.

What he was most worried about right now was that Mother Jia would take this opportunity to reprimand her.Because one of them is her son and the other is her niece.No matter how wrong they are, she will not stand by Jia Min's side.

Seeing what Jia Mu said now, the nervousness was swept away, and I couldn't help but feel proud again.

Hmph, you bastard, even if you are humiliated, what can you do?
