Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 95: Mrs. Wang Enters the Small Buddhist Hall
……

Ningguo Mansion, Ningqing Hall.

Jia Jing sat in the seat of honor, drinking tea.

Jia Rong is standing quietly at the lower right.

half an hour.

Jia She, Madam Xing arrived first.

"Big brother!"

"Uncle."

The two of them bowed respectfully.

Jia Jing nodded and pointed, "Enhou, please sit down, sister-in-law."

The two of them hurriedly sat down at the lower left.

After a while, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang came.

Jia Zheng stepped forward in shame and said, "Big brother."

Jia Jing pointed with a straight face: "Stand over there!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly went over and stood obediently. Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. She also followed Jia Zheng and stood over.

Jia She looked at the two of them and wanted to laugh out loud.

You two have come to this day!
At this time, Yuanyang came with Jia Mu.

"Jing'er, I am an old woman who has come here uninvited, and I beg you to forgive me." This is what Lady Jia said as she entered the room.

Jia Jing smiled and said, "When it comes to important matters in the family, I should have called you aunt, but I didn't dare to ask you because I thought that you are too old to work hard. Now that you are here... Rong'er, go and help the old lady sit down at the back."

"Yes!"

Jia Rong respectfully agreed and stepped forward to support Lady Jia.

"You go down first."

Jia Rong whispered something to Yuanyang.

Yuanyang naturally knew that she couldn't stay here, so she bowed and retreated to the yard outside.

Jia Rong helped Jia's mother to the back of the curtain, where there was also a low couch. Jia Rong helped Jia's mother to sit on it, served her tea, and said with a smile, "Old lady, please sit tight."

Grandmother Jia took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, do you know anything? How does Brother Jing plan to deal with this matter?"

This matter is not a small matter.

After all, it was brought to the court and the emperor knew about it.

It’s not that big.

It was not a serious crime for a servant to bully others by taking advantage of his power, or for his master to lend money at high interest. After all, no one was killed, and it was much less serious than Xue Pan's case.

Jia Rong said, "Madam, I have just been studying in there and I don't know what happened, so I don't know how to deal with it."

Jia Rong was speaking the truth. At the moment he only knew one thing: Jia Jing would definitely call Wang Ziteng over and give him a scolding.

After all, both incidents more or less involved the Wang family. It would be unreasonable not to give an explanation, right?

At this time, Jia Lian walked into the yard with his neck shrunk.

Following behind was Feng Ji, with her hands on her waist and an exaggeratedly big belly. Ping Er served her carefully.

The three of them entered the lobby.

Seeing Fengjie's appearance, Jia Jing frowned slightly, then he remembered that Fengjie, the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, was pregnant, and pointed: "Feng girl, please sit over there."

Fengjie breathed a sigh of relief and sat aside obediently.

Jia Lian wanted to follow him, but Jia Jing glared at him fiercely and said, "Stand aside!"

The husband guides his wife.

If Feng Ji cannot be punished, there is no problem in punishing Jia Lian. Who told you that you can't control your wife?

"Ah? Yes!"

Jia Lian was so frightened that his legs almost went limp. It was one thing for him to act like a hero in front of Aunt Feng just now, but now facing Jia Jing was naturally another thing.

At this time, Jia She glanced at him with a very unfriendly look: "Beasts! Look at the trouble you two have caused me. It seems that the beating I gave you a few days ago was too light. You will be in trouble when you return!"

Jia Lian stood there trembling. If Feng Ji hadn't promised to give him two concubines later, he would have collapsed.

At this time, all the people in the Jia family were present.

Jia Jing sat steadily at the top, saying nothing.

You can hear a needle drop in the house.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, not daring to breathe, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

half an hour.

"Jing'er, are you waiting for someone?" Grandmother Jia was getting a little impatient and asked Jia Rong.

Jia Rong said, "Maybe he is waiting for Lord Wang."

Just as he finished speaking, a man strode into the yard. It was Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp.

His appearance immediately made the two people in the room feel relieved. With their eldest brother from her mother's family around, they felt inexplicably confident.

After Wang Ziteng entered the room, he understood about 80% of the situation in the room. He was delighted and performed the official etiquette to Jia Jing above him: "This humble official greets Lord Jia. I wonder what important matter Lord Jia has ordered this humble official to come here for?"

There was a hint of distance in his tone.

Jia Jing almost laughed at Wang Ziteng's attitude: "Master Wang, have you read the impeachment book this morning? What do you have to say?"

Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "It's difficult for me to say anything when my family members take care of their own affairs. I don't understand why you summoned me here for family matters."

"Oh?" Jia She pointed downwards and said with a smile, "Where is the good girl raised by the Wang family? Has she nothing to do with you?"

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken. They are now members of the Jia family. What they do also represents the Jia family. What does it have to do with my Wang family?"

On the way here, he had made a decision. There was no future in following Jia Jing, so he had to "choose the right tree to roost in" as soon as possible.

If I change my allegiance for no reason, I will be ridiculed. It would be better to take advantage of today to have a falling out with the Ningguo Mansion, so that I will have a legitimate reason!
below.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng looked at Wang Ziteng with their eyes wide open.

What does it mean?
They couldn't understand it for a moment.

"Well."

Jia Jing didn't seem surprised, and waved his hand and said, "Master Wang, please go back." "Someone, show the guest away."

Wang Ziteng nodded lightly and walked out.

Jia Jing's dignified voice continued to ring out: "Come here, please invite Madam Wang to the Buddhist temple in the backyard to worship the Buddha."

well!
Wang Ziteng thought to himself: This gives me even more reason to fall out with the Ning Mansion!
It just makes my sister suffer temporarily.

When he rises rapidly in the future, is granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, the Jia family will naturally invite her out respectfully to be the old lord.

"Take Leng Zixing to the government office and punish him severely according to the law."

Leng Zixing was not a servant of the Jia family, so it was reasonable for him to be handed over to the government.

"Take the servant Zhou Rui and beat him to death!"

"Zhou Rui's family's property was confiscated and confiscated."

Zhou Rui was just a family slave, but the clan leader sentenced him to death.

Everyone was stunned by Jia Jing's series of orders.

Especially Mrs. Wang!

Should she be punished by having her worship Buddha in the Buddhist temple in the backyard?

Why?
Just because one of her servants made a mistake, she was punished by being sent to the Buddhist temple in the backyard to worship Buddha?
What kind of house rules are these?
She doesn't agree!
"I don't agree!"

Mrs. Wang actually shouted out loud in Ningqing Hall.

"Stupid woman."

Jia Jing slammed the table and said, "You have the right to speak here? Someone, shut up and drag him away!"

Immediately, several strong maids came from outside and started to cover Mrs. Wang's mouth.

"Woooooooo..."

Madam Wang was still whimpering and struggling unwillingly, but the old woman from the Ning Mansion had no mercy on her and dragged her out by her hair, causing Madam Wang to scream in pain.

Once upon a time, she was the one who ordered the maids to drag people out. She never thought that this day would come!
Things are changing!

Grandmother Jia inside didn't say anything about it.

The Wang family is just like that, a ruined family.

Since Mrs. Wang has entered the Buddhist temple in the backyard, she should probably consider having another wife for Jia Zheng...

But we don’t want to make Da Baoyu suffer, we have to find someone with a good personality and temper.

Jia Zheng didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and said nothing, allowing the old woman to drag his wife away from him.

Here.

Although Wang Xifeng was sitting, she was almost paralyzed with fear.

Master, that’s too cruel!

They are simply torturing the Wang family to death!
The wife was only dragged into the Buddhist temple by the servants.

How will she be disciplined?

You won't divorce right after giving birth to the child, right?

Wang Xifeng was terrified.

As for Jia Jing, after dealing with Mrs. Wang, he saw that everyone in the hall was convinced and no one was talking. He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Aunt Feng.

Fengjie felt that her whole body was wet.

"Jia Lian, do you admit your guilt?" Although Jia Jing was looking at Feng Ji, he actually asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian shivered, looked at Feng Ji's pitiful eyes, then looked at Feng Ji's big belly, and slowly knelt down.

"I plead guilty."

Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "Go outside and get twenty strokes of the cane. Find the victim of the loan shark and return all the excess interest. If you do it again, you will be severely punished!"

After saying this, Jia Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Jia Lian was stunned.

Why, that’s all?

Seeing how he dealt with Mrs. Wang just now, Jia Lian had already prepared a suicide note in his heart.

Seeing Jia Lian was stunned, Feng Jie hurriedly stood up and ran over to kneel down, saying, "Master, please be magnanimous."

"Help your wife up quickly, and go back to take good care of the baby."

"Thank you, Master."

Jia Lian kowtowed quickly and helped Fengjie to get up. The two of them felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly supported each other out of the yard.

A gust of warm wind blew by, and both of them felt cool.

Master, this is so scary!

"Finally, we made it through. You go back first. I'm going to get the board."

Sister Feng held Jia Lian's hand and said lovingly, "Be careful..."

Jia Lian waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just twenty strokes of the cane, I can handle it!"

Twenty lashes in exchange for two concubines, it's still a profit!
Fengjie couldn't rest assured, so she said to Ping'er beside her: "Go and ask Rong'er for mercy, and ask him to think of a way to have him beaten less severely."

Ping'er: "..."

How many times a day do you have to go there? "

Sister Feng said again: "You can stay there today. I think Rong'er likes you a little bit, so he won't refuse."

"What!?"

Jia Lian was surprised and asked, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Sister Feng said, "Without Rong'er's intercession today, do you think we could have gotten through this smoothly? Shouldn't we repay this favor?"

Jia Lian: "But..."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Why? You can't bear to part with them? If you choose Ping'er, the two concubines I told you about will no longer count. Give two to Rong'er."

Jia Lian hurriedly shook his head: "No, no!"

Two is better than one!
