10 010 Courting
Death◎ Damn it! You dare to covet the emperor's money.◎
Jia Min's voice was not loud, but it succeeded in making Zhen Yingjia and his wife, who were already fighting each other, stop fighting on the spot.
So, women are just long-haired and short-sighted, and they make trouble for no reason.
Zhen Yingjia glared at Madam Zhen fiercely, secretly cursing her for not knowing the general situation, and at the same time, he was the first to let go of the hand that was pulling Madam Zhen's collar.
He did not care about his face scratched by Madam Zhen, and turned around and said to Jia Min with a sneer on his face:
"I am so ashamed, my family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate, I made you laugh. But I asked you to come here today because I have something important to discuss, so please don't be offended for the sake of the emperor's order."
His words were very earnest and his expression was very sincere. If you don't look at the red marks on his face scratched by Madam Zhen's nails, he really has a righteous and awe-inspiring feeling.
[Pfft, this is openly being a rogue, right? It turns out that you finally remembered that you have something important to discuss with us today. I thought your family only knew how to do these things that are not presentable... Oh? In the past, the old lady of the Zhen family was... So that's how it is. It's really a case of the top beam being crooked and the bottom beam being crooked. 】
What? The old lady of their family also has a melon?
Let's talk about it in detail?
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but prick up their ears, and their hearts became more and more expectant, hoping to eat another big melon. Unfortunately, the Zhen family members who finally reacted didn't want to do it.
Everyone knows that there are such aristocratic families. The longer they exist, the more secrets they have. It is a tacit fact that they are beautiful on the surface but dirty inside.
But tacit understanding is one thing, but isn't it a bit too much to be punished so publicly?
Zhen Yingjia was so frightened that he no longer cared about arguing with Madam Zhen. As if he was suddenly strangled by the neck, he coughed violently and invited Jia Min to come in to talk - of course, he was also under the banner of Master Kang's will. After all, Master Kang's oral instructions were real.
Jia Min knew this very well, so she just sighed and followed Zhen Yingjia to the main courtyard.
Her face was impeccable etiquette, and even her smile was just right, perfect beyond words, but she couldn't help but feel a little speechless in her heart: although she knew it would not be so easy to leave today, she didn't expect that the couple was still so top-notch...
well, even more top-notch.
Thinking of the unpleasant social experiences she had in the first few years after getting married, Jia Min felt irritated.
She really didn't want to work with them. After all, it was just like what her precious son said the day he heard about the cooperation with the Zhen family - he was not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs...
Look at this child, since he had that adventure, he has become more and more "enlightened", and even his words have become more and more interesting.
Thinking of what fresh gossip her son would reveal, Jia Min was still a little bit looking forward to it. With this in mind, she didn't think it was too irritating to continue dealing with the couple from the Zhen family.
The accompanying stewards and maids naturally thought the same thing - the gossip about the Zhen family in Jinling was still fresh and hot, who could handle it? They had to go in and sit down and listen carefully.
Unfortunately, Zhen Yingjia finally figured out the matter at this time - although he didn't know why their family gossip was being broadcast all over the world, he still tried his best to let as few people hear it as possible. Therefore, Zhen Yingjia finally
recovered some of his intelligence and stopped the rest of the stewards from the Lin family outside the flower hall, except for Jia Min, Xiao Daiyu and Mo Yu and their personal servants.
The reason was also ready - discussing the important matters of the Wansui Master should be kept confidential, and not too many people should be involved.
[Hey, this excuse is pretty good. But it's understandable. After all, this is not a glorious thing. Speaking of the old lady of the Zhen family... Oh, it's amazing! The old lady is also a heroine...]
Hmm?
Even the old lady in their family? ? ! !
Everyone's curiosity was inevitably aroused again. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Zhen Yingjia coughed violently again.
Seeing that everyone's attention was temporarily attracted, Zhen Yingjia immediately coughed a few more times. He did not dare to waste time any more, and immediately invited Jia Min and her son to sit in the main room of the main courtyard-of course, he originally wanted Xiao Daiyu and Mo Yu to "avoid" it.
But Jia Min refused.
Her educational philosophy is that no matter what age her children are, they must participate in normal social activities. After all, their Lin family is now dwindling in population and has few descendants. They are not competitive in terms of quantity, so they have to improve the quality.
Fortunately, both the daughter Daiyu and the son Moyu are extremely smart, so they must be kept by their side at all times. They will definitely be masters of maneuvering in the future through what they have seen and heard.
This is the case in the original novel. Although little Daiyu is not very old, she has always been smart. At such a young age, she left her hometown to live in Jia's mansion. Facing all kinds of people in the Duke's Mansion alone, she was able to act appropriately and with great discretion and tact.
This is a very successful educational result.
It's just that sometimes I think too much and waste my children.
Mo Yu sighed softly and decided to find a way to talk to Jia Min and Daiyu in the future. In fact, it doesn't take that much effort.
There is nothing wrong with being a loyal official of the Lin family. It would be better if he was a little more mediocre .
After all, if you work too hard, you are more likely to get hurt internally. It
is also easy to make enemies. If you are not careful, you will be wiped out and die early...
That is really terrible.
Mo Yu emptied his mind for a short time, too lazy to think about these messy things, but he did not notice that everyone around him was looking at him with different thoughts, trying to listen to his voice.
Of course, they didn't just want to know a few things about the old man and the old lady of the Zhen family.
For a while, the atmosphere in their group inevitably became a little weird.
Zhen Yingjia was really afraid that this "Tianyin" would reveal some explosive secrets of the Zhen Mansion, so he was very attentive and started to introduce the Zhen Mansion Villa in Gusu City. It's true that
this time he was lucky.
Hearing that it was the mansion that hosted the Wansui Ye, the attention of the Lin family delegation, including Mo Yu, was temporarily attracted.
Although it was just a Gusu Villa, the Zhen family's mansion was not inferior to the Lin family's ancestral home.
After all, the house that the Zhen family bought in Gusu City is right next to the palace prepared for Master Kang. The back gardens of the two buildings are connected by corridors and archways. Strictly speaking, they are actually a whole, and the layout and structure are similar to the Grand View Garden that the Jia family built for Yuanchun's visit.
In short, it is obvious that a lot of money was spent.
Even though Mo Yu had already been shocked by his own century-old house, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked and sighed secretly when he saw this magnificent, palace-like building.
[Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how much money did this cost. Although the emperor's money is being used on the emperor, it is more than enough to openly show that there is no distinction between you and me. You are not afraid that the Emperor will settle the accounts in the future, that would be really a disaster. 】
Jia Min and others have long been accustomed to Mo Yu's sudden and jumping "comments", but Zhen Yingjia and others don't know.
After all, it was the first time he encountered such a strange thing, and every word hit the heart, Zhen Yingjia was a little bit broken. He
even began to explain involuntarily.
"This palace was ordered by the Emperor himself, and our old lady started to build it when she was alive."
【Oh, it must have taken more than ten years to build. My God. Such a thing actually cost 30 million taels of silver, not counting the soft decoration, amazing, the Grand View Garden was so luxurious, but it only cost two or three million, this one cost ten times the money. As expected of the Jinling Zhen family, they dare to be greedy even for the emperor's money. It's really awesome. 【
Ah?
Oh my God, how come you even know this.
Hearing this voice, they even knew how much money was spent on building the palace, oh no, how much money was spent, Zhen Yingjia broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately explained without thinking:
"Although the money spent is a little more, every penny is real and worth it. Look at this garden, ah, this palace, how exquisite..."
【Of course! No matter what's inside, it has to be acceptable in terms of appearance! Only in this way can we keep repairing and making money. The Lord Wansui is not so easy to fool... Wow, it turns out that it's not only the Zhen family who got a share, the Xue family and the Feng family also have a share. 】
After saying this, even Madam Zhen's face changed.
【Oh, even Madam Zhen is getting angry. Oh, the Feng family, isn't that Madam Zhen's family? I don't know if it has anything to do with Feng Ziying. Anyway, they are all birds of a feather, and we can all cheat Wansui's money together. Family members, we must be careful not to get involved with them, otherwise we will be cheated to the point of having our property confiscated and exiled, and if we are not careful, our entire family will be exterminated. 】
Listening to these "oracles" from her son, Jia Min felt a chill all over her body, and couldn't help sighing again in her heart, these two people are really so extreme!
It's okay if I'm stupid, but what if I implicate their family... Mo Ge'er is right, I must stay away from them.
Wait, will their brother Mo be attacked and retaliated for revealing the truth so bluntly? !
After all, these "inner thoughts" can be heard by anyone!
Thinking of this, Jia Min subconsciously hugged Mo Yu and prepared to protect her son first, and leave immediately if things went wrong.
Unexpectedly, the maids served tea at this time. Mrs. Zhen hurriedly took it and handed it to Jia Min personally, showing a polite fake smile and said: "Sister, please try it. This is the new tea this year. I wonder if it can compare with the one in your house?"
