Chapter 43 Yangzhou
Rongguo Mansion!
After hiding for a day, Jia She finally came back. He knew everything about the family, so the first thing he did when he returned home was to pay his respects to the old lady.
No matter what, a mother couldn't beat her son of such an old age just because of a dead servant, right?
"You still remember to come back?"
When Jia's mother saw her son, she felt a headache. "It feels good to see your second brother making fun of you, right?"
"My son doesn't dare!"
Jia She said respectfully, "I didn't know my mother was looking for me, I just wanted to pay my respects to my elder brother, so I went to see him."
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She sighed, "How is your brother Jing now?"
"not good!"
Jia She's eyes were slightly red. "He has no money. Although the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple tried their best to take care of him, it's not as good as before."
The villa is not far from the Taoist temple, and my eldest sister-in-law has always been there to accompany and take care of me.
Later, the eldest sister-in-law came back, and there were also more than ten servants serving her.
But what about now?
Seeing his elder brother carrying water to water the vegetables himself, Jia She felt really distressed.
"...Did he ask you for help?"
Grandmother Jia was silent for a while, then asked her son seriously.
"No!"
Jia She shook his head. "Before my son left, I wanted to give him all the gold melon seeds and silver peanuts I had, but he refused. I have no choice but to give them to the abbot and ask him to help take care of him."
“…”
Grandmother Jia sighed and said, "Go talk to Zhen'er later!"
Shen is his mother, so he should be filial to her, but Jia Jing is also his father, so he should be even more filial to her.
“Hey!”
Jia She felt that the incident of running away was over, so his voice was louder when he answered.
"…There is one more thing for you to come back."
Grandmother Jia glanced at him and said, "You were the one who brought Zhou Rui up to manage the rent for the spring and autumn seasons, right?"
Jia She: “…”
Was it he who brought it up? It was clearly his mother and his second brother and his wife who informed him that Zhou Rui would be the one to collect the rent in spring and autumn.
Jia She was a little confused, "Mother..."
"The people who are collecting the rent for the mansion in spring and autumn are the ones you appointed, right?"
Uh~ "Yes!"
Jia She lowered his head.
He had waited so long for this opportunity, and no one could make him spit it out now. "Lin Zhixiao had been with my son when he was young, and he was a loyal and honest man."
"Well, then it's him!"
Grandmother Jia seemed not to care and said, "You are the head of the family, so of course the rent collectors are your people."
Ah? Jia She couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "Mother is right, this Lin Zhixiao's family is not bad, she..."
"The housekeeper is Feng'er. She is the head of the household. You should not interfere in her affairs."
"……yes!"
As long as it’s not given to my second brother and his wife, it’s fine.
Wang Xifeng is Lian'er's daughter-in-law, and the meat always rots in her own pot.
After coming out of Lady Jia's courtyard, Jia She was in a very good mood.
He, who always stayed at home, actually didn't know that his mother and brother used the two seasons' rent from the public school to make him bear the blame for not knowing how to judge people.
Xing was even more confused.
At this moment, she only knew that the farm at home was back in the hands of her husband.
Although he didn't necessarily spend his money on her, when he had more money, Jia She would always be more generous to her.
Hearing that her parents-in-law were happy about the rent in spring and autumn, Wang Xifeng wanted to sigh.
"Ping'er, do you think I should remind the master about this?"
She was somewhat confused about the situation in the mansion.
Although most of Zhou Ruichu's property was recovered by his uncle, the powerful aunt in the mansion actually lost most of it.
Normally, my aunt should be very angry at this time.
But according to Wang Xifeng's observation, she always felt that her aunt's eyes were filled with happiness.
This is so wrong.
"So what if I mention it?"
Ping'er was from the Wang family, so she subconsciously said, "The eldest master has to listen to the old lady."
Since this concerns the master's reputation as an official, the old lady will definitely force the eldest master to agree. Anyway, he has no real job and does not need to go out and about.
"……yes!"
Wang Xifeng was helpless, "It's useless for us to think about it."
At this moment, she missed Jia Lian very much.
With him around, she doesn't have to worry about the disputes between the two rooms.
"I don't know whether the Second Master has been to Yangzhou and whether he has seen my aunt."
If conditions permit, she would go to Yangzhou with the Second Master.
Wang Xifeng sighed, "Jiangnan is rich, but I don't know if I can buy a piece of land."
At this time, Jia Lian, whom she was thinking about, was actually going to the backyard with Lin Ruhai.
"Your aunt was still talking to me about you a few days ago."
Lin Ruhai was really happy. He had brought Jia Min to Jiangnan for several years. Although they had never stopped giving her New Year and festival gifts, he knew that Min'er missed her mother-in-law very much.
The old lady is old after all.
"I'll see you later. If you cry, you'll have to comfort her."
"nature!"
Jia Lian smiled.
He is not Brother Zhu. When my aunt sees Brother Zhu, she might shed a few tears, but when she sees him... she definitely won't do that.
"Come to think of it, I haven't met my cousin yet."
As Jia Lian walked, he said, "When I came here, the old lady asked me to hug my cousin more, saying... just like I was hugging him for her."
"Hahaha!"
Lin Ruhai laughed, "Changan is very naughty. I'm afraid the old lady will be disappointed."
He now has a successful career and a son and a daughter. This is the happiest time of his life.
"Aunt will definitely not say that my cousin is naughty," Jia Lian said with a smile, "because she has seen more naughty ones."
“…”
Lin Ruhai didn't expect him to say that. He pointed at his nephew and burst into laughter, "Haha! Hahaha!"
"What's the good news? Why is the master so happy?"
Hearing the master's laughter from afar, Jia Min came out to greet him.
"you guess!"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing.
Jia Lian didn't speak immediately either.
My aunt has been in Jiangnan for six or seven years, and he has grown from a boy to a young man.
Although Jia Lian, who had no mother, once regarded his second aunt as his biological mother, his aunt also took care of him a lot when he was young.
Even though he didn't like studying and was naughty, often making his aunt so angry that she wanted to beat people, Jia Lian's eyes gradually became red after not seeing her for all these years.
"You are... Lian'er?"
"yes!"
Jia Lian bowed on the spot and said, "Lian'er greets my aunt. How are you?"
“Okay, okay!”
When Jia Min rushed over, she quickly supported him, "Hurry up," her eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you arrived in Yangzhou, so I could pick you up!"
"I came here on a temporary errand."
Unexpectedly, the aunt really cried. Jia Lian turned around and took the wooden box that Wang'er had been holding. "Aunt, there are letters from the old lady, the mistress and everyone else. I finally brought them safely."
Jia Min: “…”
She wiped her tears and glared at her nephew who was smiling even though his eyes were red. "Tell me, what's the job?"
As she spoke, she had already taken the wooden box, and sure enough, the letter on the top was from her mother.
Below that were letters from my eldest and second brothers. When I turned to the end, I didn't expect to see an even thicker one. This letter was written to my eldest sister-in-law.
Although they have corresponded over the years, this thick...
"Is there something wrong at home?"
"Yes, I do, but I'm hungry now. Aunt, won't you provide me with food?"
"Haha, of course."
Lin Ruhai smiled and ordered, "Quick, bring the eldest lady and the eldest master here. Today, we will have a reunion dinner."
