Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 92: Disaster!
……

Jia Rong sat down on a chair below, straightened his clothes, and then said with a smile: "Didn't the Madam reject your offer today?"

Sister Feng looked at Jia Rong with a squinting eye and said, "It's Madam's business if she refuses. Isn't it your turn to ask for it again?"

Jia Rong smiled faintly and said, "There aren't many left. What are you going to do here, Aunt? To help Uncle Lian recover?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Sister Feng said angrily, "Give it to me or not, it's just a few pills, why is the eldest son of the Ning Mansion so petty? Can't you just be more straightforward?"

At this time, Ping'er offered the teacup. Jia Rong took a sip and said with a smile, "Well, our master has been practicing Taoism with a master recently. I think it won't be long before he can make his own elixirs. If your family is short of elixirs or medicines, you can get them from our master. Don't worry, the price will definitely be cheaper. Given the relationship between your aunt and our master, it is not impossible for him to give them away for free."

"what!"

Sister Feng was surprised and frowned, "Brother Zhen is practicing Taoism?"

"Ah."

Jia nodded and said seriously, "The master has been bedridden all day and his health is a bit bad. It might be a good thing for him to practice the way of immortality. What do you think, aunt?"

Fengjie quickly recovered from her surprise.

It is obvious that Jia Zhen is a useless person. The master has given up on him. As long as he does not break the law, who cares how he practices Taoism or Buddhism?
But can the pills made by Jia Zhen be eaten?

Sister Feng is deeply suspicious...

At this time, a group of people came outside laughing and making noise, including Jia Rui, Jia Qiang, Jia Huan, Jia Qin and others, and it seemed that they were here to join the banquet tonight.

"Sister-in-law, where is my second brother?"

"Aunt, when is the feast?"

Sister Feng glared at them and said, "Eat a feast? Eat your mother's fart!"

Everyone shuddered in fear and looked at Jia Rong who was sitting in his seat.

Jia Rong stood up and waved his fan. "I'll have someone send it to Auntie later. It doesn't matter whether it's for money or not. Just remember to invite a host when you have time."

Don't ask why Jia Rong is so generous.

The two governments are one family, so naturally they should be together.

Sister Feng smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Auntie will take note of it."

After saying that, he looked at Jia Rui, Jia Qiang, Jia Qin, and Jia Huan again. This time, he didn't have a good expression on his face. He said in a cold voice, "You want to have a feast, right? Go to the East Courtyard to eat. Second Master Lian is waiting for you there!"

Several people left in a hurry.

Only Jia Rui felt like a cat's claw in his heart and looked back at Fengjie a few more times.

Sister Feng naturally paid no attention and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Ping Er changed the cup of tea for Feng Jie and said with a smile, "So, grandma asked Master Xiao Rong to come here for the elixir. The elixir in the East Palace is all good. This will save a lot of money."

Speaking of money, Fengjie's mood finally improved a little. She took a sip of tea from the cup Ping'er offered her and said with a smile, "It's better to save as much as possible. I was supposed to buy elixirs at the end of this month. With the elixirs from the East Palace, I can at least last for two months."

"By the way, I had to lower my head and ask Rong Ge'er for the pills, so of course I have to pay through the public treasury. Remember to withdraw 500 taels of silver for the pills tomorrow and put it under the box for me."

"it is good!"

Ping'er quickly agreed.

Sister Feng was silent for a while, then asked, "What time is it?"

"It's past half past midnight."

"Forget it, wash up and go to bed."

Silent all night.

The next morning, Jia Lian, with unsteady steps but in high spirits, led Feng'er to serve tea to Fengjie.

"Feng'er, haha." Jia Lian sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Feng'er, you have worked hard."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "No matter how hard I work, it's not as hard as you. You worked hard last night, so I asked someone to make some tonic medicine to nourish your body."

Ping Er brought a bowl of soup with a smile and said, "Second Master, please enjoy."

Jia Lian took the bowl of soup and put it on the table. He did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked at Ping'er and asked with a smile, "If you two have anything to say, just tell me. If it's not too difficult, I'll do it."

Sister Feng smiled softly: "What are you talking about, Second Master? You were tired last night, so I made you some soup to nourish your body, isn't that my duty? What else can I do?"

Jia Lian was immediately moved, thinking that Fengjie had a child, so he let go of himself and enjoyed the happiness of having two wives from then on...

"Feng'er! You are so nice! I have another five hundred taels of silver here, you can take it all." Jia Lian was so excited that he generously told him all his private money.

"Oh?"

Sister Feng's eyes lit up: "Then I'll accept it?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "My lady is so virtuous, just take it."

At this time, Feng Er saw that Sister Feng was in a good mood, and hurriedly handed her a teacup: "Sister, have some tea."

Sister Feng smiled like a flower, holding Feng'er's hand and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite? From now on, we are sisters, and we will serve the Second Master together." "I will take you to see the old lady later."

"Thank you for your help, sister."

"Hahaha……"

Jia Lian held one in each hand, with his beautiful wife and concubine in his arms, and smiled triumphantly.

Just then!
Suddenly there was a commotion outside, with shouting and yelling.

"Not good! Not good!"

Jia Lian was stunned and looked at Fengjie in confusion.

He thought it was Sister Feng who was causing trouble!
I felt something was wrong this morning.

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked.

Sister Feng was also wondering, and frowned, "How should I know? Why don't you just ask the person who came and find out?"

She wanted to discipline Feng'er, but hasn't she done it yet?
"Second Master, Second Master!"

The person who came in was Xing'er, Jia Lian's servant. He fell to his knees and kowtowed, saying, "What a disaster! What a disaster!"

Jia Lian was immediately displeased and kicked him lightly: "What's the trouble so early in the morning? Can you speak human language?"

What disaster could happen to their Jia family?
Sister Feng sneered and said, "Look at the people you support. If it were me, I would slap them in the face twenty times!"

Xing'er was kicked sideways by Jia Lian, and he quickly straightened himself up and cried, "It's really bad news. I heard from outside that the master was impeached by several censors at the court this morning!"

"what!"

Jia Lian was shocked!
"This is impossible!"

Sister Feng was even more surprised!

Although the Rongguo Mansion was a poor family, they had the Ningguo Mansion above them. Who would dare to impeach them easily? Are they trying to save their lives?

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that it didn't seem fake, Jia Lian asked hurriedly.

Xing'er said hurriedly, "I'm not very clear, I just heard that the censor impeached our master, and it seems that he impeached him for 'not managing the family strictly'."

Jia Lian and Feng Ji both started to panic.

It is these two who run the household!

If something goes wrong...

Jia Lian glared at Feng Jie and said, "You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"

Sister Feng glared back: "Second Master, you're still asking me? No matter what, I'm still not a woman in the inner house. How can I go to the court and be impeached?"

"But Second Master, you're in charge of things outside. Have you caused any trouble?"

"I……"

Jia Lian thought for a moment and said, "I just manage a household and collect rent. I don't commit adultery or commit crimes. What can go wrong?"

To be honest, Jia Lian still felt guilty. A few days ago, Fengjie was pregnant, and the maids around her were watched closely by Fengjie and were not allowed to touch. He had no choice but to talk to Li Er's wife twice, but only a few trusted servants knew about this matter, Li Er was not aware of it, and he also rewarded Li Er's family with a lot of silk and silver...

Sister Feng frowned and said, "What's going on? Could there be some misunderstanding? It's not our family that is being impeached at all?"

Jia Lian sighed: "I'll go out and ask whether it's a misunderstanding or not. You go to the old ancestor and be careful. Don't let the old lady know!"

"it is good……"

Jia Lian took Xing'er and ran out of the door like the wind.

While Fengjie was still doing nothing, Ping'er was already so frightened that her face turned pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Sister Feng asked with a frown.

Ping'er whispered, "Grandma, have you forgotten? Regarding the loan sharking, could it be..."

Fengjie's heart skipped a beat.

It should be, right?

So many families do it, why did they have to do it?

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sister Feng said calmly, "Let's go and see the old lady."

So what even if it is found out?

With the power of the Jia family and the Wang family, can't they settle such a small matter?

I don’t know which censor is so bold as to impeach their family!
