Chapter 2844: Teach the Slave a Lesson and Take Care of Jia Lan

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

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

"My Lord, the master is talking to the gentlemen. Please wait a moment!"

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

"Rongguo Mansion is becoming more and more unruly. The master is unruly, and the servants are the same. It seems that it needs to be properly rectified!"

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

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

Jia Chang looked down at Zhou Rui with a dignified look, exuding a terrifying majesty, which made Zhou Rui, who was in great pain, instantly shut up and dared not make a sound.

Jia Zheng and the guests in the mansion were stunned by the sudden scene and turned to look at the door.

Jia Chang was full of terrifying murderous aura, his face was cold and angry. It was obvious that he had encountered many bad things today, which made him very unhappy. What cats and dogs dared to provoke him. Did he behave too kindly on weekdays, making them think that he had no temper.

"Chang'er, what's the matter!"

Jia Zheng was a little puzzled. He looked at Zhou Rui lying on the ground, and then looked at Jia Chang who was angry, and asked.

"Master, I think things are going to change in the mansion. The servants are even more arrogant than the masters. Do they want to turn the tables and be the masters of the house?"

Jia Chang stared coldly at Zhou Rui, who was frightened on the ground. He thought he was a bastard of the Rongguo Mansion and needed to respectfully address him as Steward Zhou. He was just a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, but he dared to stand up for Madam Wang and stop him. He was simply tired of living!

Jia Zheng sighed when he heard this. He also knew that some of the old servants and maids in the mansion were really outrageous and arrogant, but most of them were old people who had served Jia's mother for many years. Even he had to respect them and could not rectify the atmosphere in the mansion.

"How did Zhou Rui provoke you to make you so angry that you beat him up!"

Jia Zheng didn't want to continue this topic, so he could only look at Zhou Rui again. At this time, this very respectable steward in the mansion was pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his eyes were bulging, and his facial features were distorted. It was obvious that he was in unbearable pain, but he didn't dare to make any sound. He was obviously frightened by Jia Chang.

"You dog slave, you dare to 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 below Jia Zheng, surrounded by a group of Qingke Xianggong, who were Jia Zheng's staff and hangers-on, also known as the master.

Scholars study hard for ten years, take the imperial examinations, pass the exams, and become officials in one fell swoop, but they are not good at secular affairs, so they need to keep some Qingkes to help them handle government affairs and make suggestions. Most of these people are scholars who failed the imperial examinations and have no hope of passing the imperial examinations, so they become officials. They are proficient in laws, accounts, etc., and each has their own strengths, so they can be considered professionals.

"What do you mean?"

Jia Zheng has been talking about the Ministry of Works with the 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 in confusion.

"Just now, the Xue family arrived, and the lady wanted to open the main door, but I stopped her, and some conflicts occurred!"

"The lady wanted to go to Shuntian Prefecture to sue me for disobedience and unfilial piety, and I threatened to gather my clansmen and divorce her!"

Jia Chang was very frank, without exaggeration, and told the conflict just now.

Jia Zheng's face changed. He didn't expect that Wang Furen would have such a fierce conflict with Jia Chang. Although he was unhappy that Jia Chang contradicted his stepmother, he was even more dissatisfied with Wang Furen's recklessness. She actually wanted to open the main door to welcome Aunt Xue's family. This was obviously against the rules. He was even more annoyed that Wang Furen actually wanted to sue Jia Chang for disobedience and unfilial piety. This was to ruin the future of the Jia family and was unforgivable.

"It's just nonsense! How can the main door of the mansion be opened casually?!"

Jia Zheng avoided the main issue and did not mention other things at all. He just blamed Wang Furen for breaking the rules. He was embarrassed.

After all, Wang Furen was Jia Zheng's first wife. They had slept together for decades and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him. Behind him was Wang Ziteng, the governor of nine provinces, so he couldn't really divorce her. And Jia Chang was his son, and he was now the face of the Jia family and the pillar of the family.

If Jia Zheng had to make a choice, he would definitely choose Jia Chang in the end. After all, he could remarry after divorcing his wife, but there was only one Wu'an Marquis Daqian, who could guarantee the prosperity and wealth of Rongguo Mansion for decades to come. The prosperity of the Jia family depended on Jia Chang.

Jia Chang curled his lips when he heard this. He also knew Jia Zheng's dilemma. He didn't really want to fight with Mrs. Wang, otherwise how could Mrs. Wang shout at him.

"What's the matter with the master calling me here this time?"

Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Jia Chang had let it go, and then he spoke.

"It's nothing important, but you haven't been back to the mansion for many days, so I want you to come back to the mansion for a meal, so that the family can keep in touch!"

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 rectified military discipline. He also had the respect of the old Duke, and now he serves as the military governor of the Beijing camp. The smooth handover is also related to his origin in the Jia family.

After Jia Chang returned home, and Aunt Xue's family came to Beijing, a banquet was held in Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng was naturally 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 get closer!"

Aunt Xue was originally worried that Xue Pan would not change his temperament and indulge in sex to get into trouble while living 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. The men are working hard outside, so we women must take care of the home well. 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 confused 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. He thinks he is his own, but he still dares to show off his temper and put on airs against his master. He is really reckless!"

"In the future, if I hear the younger members of the clan call me steward Lai, grandpa Lai, 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 neglect their old age. 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, but I hope there will be no one who is not wise. 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. Just do as you please!"

Jia Mu said this to others. The purpose was to remind them not to forget who Jia Chang was. She really thought that the invincible Marquis 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 to have a small life left behind!

"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 delicacies!"

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 did not 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 taken some care of him 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 spoke, 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 only has the reputation of being a scholar. For so many years, no one from the clan 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 the eldest brother Zhu, and he is the eldest grandson of the master. He should be invited Only with careful teaching from a famous teacher can you achieve success in the future, and 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 also felt deeply. 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 arouse other people's thoughts. If it is thought that he intends to support the prince Fighting for the throne is not worth the gain.
