Chapter 2842 Teach the slave a lesson and take care of Jialan

The fierce conflict between Jia Chang and Mrs. Wang spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion in an instant. Before Jia Chang arrived at Rongxi Hall, most of the servants and ladies in the mansion had already received the news.

Jia Chang came to the study and was about to push the door in. Zhou Rui, who was standing outside the door, suddenly stopped Jia Chang and said in a deep voice.

"Master Marquis, I am talking to my husband, please wait a moment!"

Jia Chang stopped and turned to look at Zhou Rui, Mrs. Wang's confidant. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked playful, and said with a smile.

"The Rongguo Mansion is becoming more and more unruly. The master has no rules, and the same goes for the servants. It seems that they need to be rectified!"

Jia Chang's expression suddenly changed, as cold as ice. He raised his leg and kicked Zhou Rui directly into the study. He lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of red blood and wailing in pain.

"If you dare to howl again, I will kill you!"

Jia Chang looked down at Zhou Rui with a majestic expression, and his whole body exuded a frightening majesty of evil spirit, which made Zhou Rui, who was in great pain, instantly silenced and did not dare to make a sound.

Jia Zheng and the Qingke guests at his residence were stunned by the sudden scene, and they all turned to look in the direction of the door.

Jia Chang's body was filled with astonishing evil aura, and his face was cold and full of anger. It was obvious that he had encountered bad things several times today, which made him feel very unhappy. All cats and dogs dared to provoke him. Did he behave too kindly on weekdays, making them think that I have no temper.

"Chang'er, what are you doing!"

Jia Zheng was a little confused. He glanced at Zhou Rui lying on the ground, then at the furious Jia Chang, and asked.

"Master, I think things are going to change in the mansion. The servants are actually more arrogant and temperamental than the master. Do they want to stand up and take charge of the family?"

Jia Chang stared at the frightened Zhou Rui on the ground with cold eyes. He thought he was a concubine of Rongguo Mansion and needed to respectfully address him as Butler Zhou. He was just a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, but he actually dared to stand up for Mrs. Wang and stop him. He was so impatient!

Jia Zheng sighed after hearing this. He also knew that some of the old servants and nuns in the house were really shameful and had great arrogance, but most of them were old people who had served Jia's mother for many years. Even he had to respect them. The atmosphere in the mansion cannot be rectified.

"Why did Zhou Rui provoke you? You actually got so angry and injured him!"

Jia Zheng did not want to continue this topic, so he could only turn his attention to Zhou Rui again. At this time, this very respectable steward in the mansion was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were bulging, and his facial features were distorted. He was obviously in unbearable pain. But he didn't dare to make the slightest sound. He was obviously frightened by Jia Chang.

"You dog slave, how dare you stop me? I'm afraid you want to stand up for your master!"

Jia Chang looked down at Zhou Rui with disdain, walked in, and sat under Jia Zheng, surrounded by a group of Qing guests, all of whom were Jia Zheng's aides, commonly known as masters.

Scholars spent ten years in poverty, participated in the scientific examination, won the gold medal, and became an official in one fell swoop. However, they did not have ordinary affairs, so they needed to raise some Qingke Xiangong to help handle government affairs and make suggestions. Most of these people were scholars who failed the examination and had no hope of the imperial examination. Only then did they join the officials. They were proficient in laws, accounts, etc., and each had their own strengths. They were considered professionals.

"Where do you start talking about this?"

Jia Zheng had been talking about the Ministry of Industry with his guests in the study, so he didn't know that Jia Chang had just had a conflict with Mrs. Wang, and looked at Jia Chang confused.

"Just now, the Xue family arrived. My wife wanted to open the front door, but I stopped her and there was some conflict!"

"My wife wants to go to Shuntian Mansion to accuse me of being disobedient and unfilial. I threaten to summon the clan members and divorce her!"

Jia Chang was very open-minded and did not add any fuel to the conflict. He told the truth directly and recounted the conflict just now.

Jia Zheng's face changed. He didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would have such a fierce conflict with Jia Chang. Although he was not happy that Jia Chang contradicted his aunt, he was even more dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's reckless behavior and actually wanted to open the front door to welcome Aunt Xue's family. This was obviously bad. He was even more angry that Mrs. Wang actually wanted to sue Jia Chang for being disobedient and unfilial. This would ruin the future of the Jia family and was unforgivable.

"This is nonsense! How can the main entrance of the mansion be opened casually?!"

Jia Zheng avoided the important matter and did not mention other things at all. He just blamed Mrs. Wang for breaking the rules. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, which made him embarrassed.

After all, Mrs. Wang was Jia Zheng's first wife. She had shared his bed with him for decades and gave birth to two sons and one daughter. She was also supported by Wang Ziteng, the ruler of nine provinces, so she could not really be divorced. And Jia Chang is his son, and he is now the face of the Jia family, a pillar of existence.

If Jia Zheng had to make a choice, he would definitely choose Jia Chang in the end. After all, if his wife divorces, he can remarry, but there is only one high official, the Marquis of Wu'an, who can guarantee the prosperity and wealth of the Rongguo Mansion for decades to come, and the prosperity of the Jia family. It depends on Jia Chang.

When Jia Chang heard this, he curled his lips. He also knew that Jia Zheng was in trouble. He didn't really want to get serious with Mrs. Wang, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not be able to argue with him.

"Master called me here this time. What's the matter?"

Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and realized that Jia Chang had put the matter aside, so he spoke.

"It's nothing important, it's just that you haven't been back to the house for many days, so I want you to go back to the house to have a meal and keep in touch as a family!"

Jia Chang lived in a separate mansion, but after all, he had not given the crown ceremony. He was still nominally a member of the Rongguo Mansion and was Jia Zheng's son. Therefore, Jia Zheng did not want Jia Chang to become estranged from the government, so he often ordered people to invite Jia Chang back to his home. Either chatting or eating.

At the same time, this is also to convey a message to the outside world that Wu'anhou Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are one, and both will be prosperous and harmed!

Jia Chang also knew what Jia Zheng was thinking, and his expression turned slightly bright. In any case, he was Jia Zheng's son, a beast in Rongguo Mansion, and he also had the honor of Rongguo Mansion. Whether it was martial arts inheritance or personal connections in the military, he was Played an integral role in his growth.

Jia Chang was able to get along well in the northern border because Chen Qingzhi was an old general in the Rongguo Mansion. He later returned to Beijing to take charge of the Yulin Guards and improve military discipline. He also had the respect of the old Duke. Now he is serving as the military governor of the Beijing camp. The smooth handover is also related to his background in the Jia family.

After Jia Chang returned home, and Aunt Xue's family came to Beijing, a banquet was held in Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, Wang Xifeng was responsible for such chores.

But Wang Xifeng was a good housekeeper. He took his servants and wives to arrange the decorations neatly. There were several couches on them, all covered with brocade rong mat. In front of each couch there were two carved lacquer tables, some of which were Begonia style and others. There are plum blossom styles, lotus leaf styles, sunflower styles, square styles, and round styles. One has a stove bottle and a storage box on it; the other is empty, ready to put people's favorite food.

Sitting in front of the couch were Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Chang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Aunt Xue; below were chairs and chairs. To the east are Li Wan and his son Jia Lan, then Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and his wife, Baoyu and Xue Pan at the end.

To the west is Xue Baochai, second is Lin Daiyu, followed by Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, who sit down one by one. Each person has a black silver foreign chisel self-pouring pot and a brocade enamel cup.

When everyone sat down, Jia Mu smiled and spoke, looked at Aunt Xue and welcomed her arrival.

"Today is a good day. My aunt and her family are coming to Beijing, which makes me happy!"

"My aunt has grown up, and Pan'er is young and ignorant of the world. She lives outside, and she is afraid that something will happen to her. We have about ten rooms in the Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner. They are empty, and we are cleaning them in a hurry. Please invite my aunt and brother. Sister, stay here and we can all get closer!"

Aunt Xue was originally worried that Xue Pan would not change her temperament and cause trouble if she lived outside, so she hurriedly thanked her for her permission and said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, old lady. It's just a daily fee and it's free of charge. That's the way to live in peace."

Mother Jia knew that Aunt Xue's family was not short of money and was not polite. From then on, Aunt Xue's family settled in Rongguo Mansion.

After Jia Mu finished speaking, she glanced at her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and saw that her face was expressionless, like a Bodhisattva in the temple. She then looked at Jia Chang who was enjoying the delicious food. She also heard about the relationship between Jia Chang and Mrs. Wang. Although she was partial to Jia Baoyu, she also knew that Jia Chang was now the backbone of the Jia family's prosperity and wealth, and could not hold him back. She was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's intention to accuse Jia Chang of being disobedient and unfilial. This was to destroy She would never agree to risk the future of the Jia family.

Jia Mu sighed in her heart, she is neither crazy nor deaf, she is not a family man, now she can only make peace with her, and said meaningfully.

"As the old saying goes, everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious. While the men are working hard outside, we women must naturally take care of the home. Only when the house is stable can the family prosper!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her expression moved slightly. She was holding the Buddhist beads tightly in her hands. The veins on the back of her hands were bulging. She was filled with anger. Mother Jia was trying to hit her with her words. She was not allowed to affect Jia Chang's future and the Jia family. future.

When Jia Chang heard this, he raised his head slightly and looked at Jia Mu thoughtfully. It seemed that the grandmother was not completely ignorant and didn't know what was important. With this old lady pressing down on her, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to stab her, so she could only obey her orders honestly.

"Chang'er, I heard that you got angry today and kicked Zhou Rui and injured him?"

After Jia Mu finished beating Mrs. Wang, she turned the topic to Jia Chang and asked.

"That's right, dogs rely on human power, and the servants in the mansion should be rectified. They are very arrogant and temperamental. Whether it is the housekeepers of Ning Rong and Rong, or the nuns below, they can't remember their positions clearly. You treat it as your own, but you still dare to show off your temper and put on airs with your master, you really don’t know how to live or die!”

"In the future, if I hear the younger members of the clan calling Lai the steward, Grandpa Lai again, I will chop up Lai Da and others alive. I really think the knife in my hand can't kill anyone!"

Jia Chang's voice was loud and majestic, and it spread throughout the whole place, and everyone could hear it clearly. He was deliberately warning the servants in the mansion not to rely on their old age, and he would not tolerate it if they forgot the rules.

Jia Mu's face changed slightly. Lai Da and others were able to dominate mainly because of Jia Mu's power. She was so powerful in the house that even Jia Huan, Tan Chun and other concubines and concubines were in awe of her.

Jia Mu sighed. Jia Chang is a warrior who came down from the battlefield. He has amazing aura and majesty. She is indeed a little too indulgent to the slaves below. Jia Chang can give a warning. I just hope that no one will be ignorant. Turn a deaf ear to Jia Chang's words.

"You were killed from among the dead, and you have great authority. I can't control you anymore. It's up to you!"

Jia Mu said this to others. The purpose was to remind people not to forget who Jia Chang was. She really thought that the invincible Marquis of Wu'an did not dare to kill anyone in the battlefield. Today Zhou Rui only received a kick and was already burned. It's so fragrant, you should be glad that you left a small life!

"On the battlefield, either you die or I live. There are hundreds of thousands of people who will die in my hands. A few slaves are nothing!"

Jia Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked sharply at Lai Da, who was waiting on the side. He was so frightened that the other party's body trembled, his head was lowered, and he said with deep meaning.

When everyone looked at Jia Chang, who had an astonishing aura, they suddenly realized that this was a military general fighting on the battlefield, and he was definitely not as kind and harmless as his handsome appearance.

"Okay, today is a big day for my concubine and her family to come to Beijing. What kind of beatings and killings will make everyone uncomfortable!"

Mother Jia looked at Butler Lai, who was almost scared to death. After all, she still missed her old relationship, so she quickly interrupted Jia Chang and started to change the topic.

Jia Chang didn't want to ruin the scene, so he became silent and lowered his head to enjoy the food. The skills of the cooks in Rongguo Mansion were really amazing, which made him eat with relish, ignoring the other people with different expressions.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring little Ruyi with me this time. She will be full with so many delicious foods!"

Jia Chang thought secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt a gaze on her. He looked up and saw that it was Lin Daiyu, known as Xiaoxiang's concubine. He was slightly stunned, his eyes were filled with confusion, as if he was asking.

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly and quickly lowered her head. She didn't expect that Jia Chang was so sensitive and noticed her gaze, which was extremely shy.

The reason why Lin Daiyu paid attention to Jia Chang was because Jia Chang spoke up for Lin Ruhai, which enabled Lin Daiyu to reunite with her father. She was grateful and wanted to find an opportunity to express her gratitude.

When Jia Chang saw Lin Daiyu avoiding his gaze, he didn't care. He looked around and suddenly saw Li Wan and Jia Lan.

Jia Chang sighed, remembering that Jia Zhu had cared for him to some extent back then. Now, as an orphan and a widower, she was cautious and cautious in the house, and her life was not easy. She took some care of him, so he asked Jia Zheng.

"Master, I wonder where Lan'er is studying now?"

As soon as Jia Chang opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention, and Li Wan's expression moved slightly. She is now a widow, and her only hope in this life is her son. She hopes to train Jia Lan well, and be worthy of Jia Zhu if she is named on the gold list in the future. .

Jia Zheng was even more surprised. He glanced at Jia Chang and wondered why he asked this question.

"Now Lan'er is studying and enlightening in clan school!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he shook his head slightly. Jia Dairu was already a rare person. He was not good at learning and had no sense of responsibility. He regarded family studies as a place for retirement and was just perfunctory. Jia Lan, as the third-generation grandson of Rongguo Mansion, was talented and intelligent. If he cultivated it well, , I will definitely have a bright future in the future, and I can set up a household with my family.

"Jia Dairu is old, and he only has the reputation of being a scholar. Over the years, no one from his family has passed the imperial examination and entered an official career, so we can know how knowledgeable he is. Lan'er is the posthumous son of eldest brother Zhu, and he is the eldest grandson of the master. He should be invited A famous teacher will teach you carefully so that you can achieve something in the future. Being named on the gold list is not in vain for Sister-in-law Zhu."

What Jia Chang said made Jia Zheng fall into thinking. Li Wan was moved, his eyes were moist and red, and he looked at Jia Chang gratefully.

Since Jia Zhu died at an early age, Li Wan and his son Jia Lan have been dependent on each other. Because of Jia Baoyu's existence, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's thoughts were all on the Phoenix Egg, and they almost turned a blind eye to Jia Lan. Li Wan was also cautious and became the head of the Rongguo Mansion. He is a little transparent, living his own life behind closed doors, just like Jia Chang back then, and no one dared to offend him.

Seeing this scene, Jia's mother was also touched. The Rongguo Mansion finally had a man who could take on responsibility, care about his nephew's studies, and understand the long-term development of the family.

Lin Daiyu raised her head slightly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes. She had never heard that Jia Baoyu cared about Jia Lan. You must know that this was his nephew. Instead, it was Jia Chang, his uncle who was more distant, who cared about Jia Lan's studies. This It is a man's responsibility. No wonder his father looked down on Jia Baoyu and praised Jia Chang many times.

Jia Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Jia Lan below. Seeing that he was smart and well-behaved, he felt secretly ashamed. He put all his thoughts on Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, but he never cared about his grandson's studies.

"Famous teachers are hard to find, and now even Baoyu doesn't study seriously!"

Jia Zheng's words were not false. The Rongguo government often hired famous teachers to teach Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu was angry every time. Jia Baoyu despised the saint's articles, hated the official career economy, and believed that officials were thieves of the country and thieves of wealth. The beetle looks aloof and arrogant, and looks like he doesn't like the fireworks of the world.

The reputation of Rongguo Mansion has become so bad among famous teachers that Jia Baoyu is considered rotten wood and cannot be carved. They also stay away from Rongguo Mansion and do not want to come here. Therefore, it is difficult for Rongguo Mansion to hire famous teachers to teach the younger generations.

Jia Chang frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then spoke under Li Wan's expectant gaze. His voice was clear and steady, with awe-inspiring power.

"Sir, the palace is currently selecting companions for all the princes. Countless people are vying for the popular companions for the princes, in order to get a chance and hope that the princes they bet on will be crowned the great treasures in the future! "

"Although these princely companionships are popular, the risks are also high. We, the Jia family, are already extremely wealthy and there is no need to join in the fun!"

"However, there are several princes born to low-ranking concubines in the palace who do not have prominent maternal clans. They have no hope of competing for the throne in the future. They also need a companion. There is currently no candidate. If the master agrees, I can fight for a place for Lan'er!"

"In this way, you can study under the guidance of the eminent scholars in the Hanlin Academy without any risk. No matter how bad the prince is in the future, he can be made a county prince. He can be regarded as Lan'er's network supporter. I don't know what the master and Sister-in-law Zhu think. good!"

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Chang's arrangement and couldn't help but admire it. It was really comprehensive and would be of great benefit to Jia Lan's future without much risk. It was perfect.

Li Wan was even more excited and very willing that such a good thing would happen to Jia Lan. She would have hope in the future, but she didn't dare to speak out because Jia Zheng hadn't spoken yet.

"This is of course very good, but can you make it difficult?"

Jia Zheng asked hesitantly. Now that Jia Chang has a prominent position, every move attracts attention. Placing his nephew next to the prince as a companion will trigger other people's thoughts. If it is thought that he intends to support the prince. Fighting for the throne is not worth the gain.
