Sister Jia Lian and Sister Feng came to the hall.
Madam Xing then sat down on a chair on the other side of the table. "Yo, you guys are here? Did you receive Old Lady's reward?" She spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Jia She's eyes lit up as he asked Jia Lian,""What did the old lady reward you with?"
Jia Lian replied,"The old lady rewarded him with two hundred taels, and the second wife rewarded him with a hundred taels. She instructed her son to go out and do something." I haven't taken the silver yet." As he spoke, he glanced at Madam Xing.
He didn't know what this woman was thinking. Although Jia Lian wasn't her biological son, they weren't enemies, right?
Perhaps it was because Sister Feng was the niece of Madam Wang?
Madam Xing smiled again." Master, in my opinion, Brother Lian is still young. You should keep this money first. If he really has a good idea and can make a lot of money, you can take it out and give it to him." This way, not only did Lian Geer not spend money recklessly, but he also went along with the old lady's wishes.”
Jia Lian only lowered his head, anger already accumulating in his heart. "Master…"
"Alright!" Jia She rubbed his nose a few times, still immersed in the enjoyment of the snuff.
"Your mother is right! No one knows their son better than their father. Don't you think I know what you're capable of? Did he really think that he was very capable after saying a few bold words? Was this silver so easy to earn? There are so many people in the family who need to spend money, and this year's rent is low. Don't you know how to be considerate?”
"Master, I really have a way…" Jia Lian argued.
"Do you have any ideas?" "I see that you have all the ways to drink and have fun!" Jia She sneered. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. First, you cheat the old lady and the others of their silver and then do whatever you want. After a few months, the old lady asks about it, but she says that she has lost her capital and then covers it up.”
It had to be said that if Jia Lian was still the previous Jia Lian, he would have seen it quite accurately!
However, Jia Lian was serious this time. He was determined to live a good life and could not continue to be muddleheaded. He said again,"Old Master, your son has been outside and has seen and heard enough. He has already thought of a few ways to earn money! This time, he would definitely repent and not be lazy anymore.”
Jia She twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, but did not comment.
Sister Feng saw the opportunity and advised," Master, Madam, it's rare for Second Master Lian to have the heart to pull himself together. Even Old Lady and Second Mistress think that this is a good thing!" We ought to sponsor it. If he really made a profit, it would be a pleasant surprise. Even if he lost everything, a few hundred taels of silver was nothing.”
Jia She nodded slightly. What they said made sense.
"A few hundred taels is indeed nothing, but you can't just throw it into the water." Which shop or building in the Divine Capital could earn back their capital in a year and even double their profit? What a silkpants boasting! The old lady didn't expose you because she was afraid of hurting your heart. According to my method, why don't you let out this silver to eat some interest? Isn't it much more convenient than you fooling around outside?”
Jia Lian wanted to continue arguing, but Jia She slammed the table and shouted,""I almost let you go! I said you suddenly became capable! Perhaps the method you mentioned is to put money on the table for interest! Your mother was the one who explained it clearly!”
Madam Xing pretended to be kind and advised him,"Brother Lian, you should at least take it easy. I just told the master that I'll donate an official position to you in two years. If you can find the right position, it won't be a waste of your father's heart."”
Jia Lian's heart sank, and his impression of Madam Xing became even worse.
He endured it and said coldly,"Don't worry about donating your official position, Old Master." I don't like that kind of empty title!"
Jia She suddenly glared at him and said angrily," How arrogant. Have you been thinking about your father's title for a long time?" Have you been waiting for me to die?"
Jia Lian felt that it was ridiculous and was about to retort when Sister Feng quickly pulled his sleeve.
"Master, please calm down. Second Master Lian definitely did not have such thoughts.”
As she spoke, she gave Jia Lian a meaningful look.
Jia Lian knew that he couldn't get into a conflict with Jia She at this time. He took a deep breath, bowed his head, cupped his hands, and apologized,"Master, I know my mistake. His son did not dare to have such thoughts.”
Jia She snorted coldly and said,"I don't think you would dare!" This matter is settled!"
Jia Lian still wanted to argue a few more words. He couldn't let them keep the money!
Sister Phoenix leaned against him and stepped on his foot, her phoenix eyes blinking non-stop.
Jia Lian understood that it was useless to say anything more. This pair of greedy in-laws were really a match made in heaven. There was nothing wrong with them.
Jia She stretched out a hand. Lady Xing hurriedly stood up and stepped forward. She picked up the snuff bottle and picked out some more for Jia She to suck.
But this time, Jia She used too much strength. A spiciness mixed with various fragrances rushed straight to his head, and he sneezed a few times in succession before he was done.
Sister Feng took the opportunity to push Jia Lian. Let's go back first.
Unexpectedly, Jia She closed his eyes and let the servant girl wipe his face with a towel." Lian 'er, don't blame Father. I'm doing this for your own good." If you insist on going out to do things, I won't stop you, but you have to promise me a few things first.”
Jia Lian originally wanted to build a plank road in the open and secretly travel in Chen Cang, but suddenly there was a bright future. He hurriedly asked,"Master, which ones do you have?"
Jia She coughed lightly and cleared his throat.""First, you can't commit crimes and implicate me.”
Jia Lian listened carefully. Was this mainly to warn him not to commit any crimes, or was he afraid of being implicated? He nodded in agreement.
"As for the second condition, I don't care what you do, but you have to pay 2500 taels of silver to your family every year as a form of respect.”
What kind of concept was 2,500 taels?
This was the rent for a thousand acres of farmland from the Rong Family last year!
Jia She didn't even ask if Jia Lian could earn that much. He just wanted that much!
The last bit of familial love in Jia Lian's heart vanished into thin air after Jia She said 2,500 taels. Was this the way to treat his own son?
Sister Feng was so anxious that her pretty face turned red. This time, Jia Lian held her hand and did not let her speak.
"Son, don't worry. What if his son was lucky enough to earn ten thousand taels?”Jia Lian laughed.
Jia She looked deeply at Jia Lian," Even if you earn 100,000 taels, that's still your ability! Other than your filial piety, I don't want one tael more. You only need to buy land and take in concubines, it's all up to you!”
When Jia Lian heard this, he happily bowed and said,"In that case, thank you, Master!"
Sister Phoenix's eyes widened, almost spitting out flames.
You're thanking him?
Madam Xing, who was beside him, was also anxious. If there was really a hundred thousand taels, she would have to pay fifty thousand, no, eighty thousand taels! How could he only ask for so little?
However, since Jia She had already spoken, she could only be anxious and quickly added," The three hundred taels that we agreed on before are not included in this! And your expenses…"
Sister Phoenix couldn't help but blurt out,"Madam, are you kicking Second Master Lian out?”
He might as well shed all pretense of cordiality. Why should a small family be afraid of her?
Just this one sentence made Lady Xing's face filled with shame and anger. The heavens had pity on him. Jia Lian was the legitimate grandson of the Rong family. How could she chase him away?
He was just thinking about how to explain it to Jia She!
Jia She slammed his palm on the table and scolded,""I'm doing this to urge him to improve! Although you're not his biological mother, how can you be so vicious? Get lost!"
Jia Lian's eyelids twitched slightly.
Lady Xing was frightened and her face turned red. She did not dare to look at Jia Lian and Sister Feng.
Even though her mind was racing, she hurriedly replied," Master, please calm down. How would I dare to do that? What I mean is, since Lian Geer wants to do something, he will need to socialize. How can the old rule of ten or so taels be used? Why don't you consider adding some!"
Only then did Jia She stroke his beard." Touch the silver from that place?”
Madam Xing thought for a long time. The silver in the East Road Courtyard was limited. The Old Master had taken a fancy to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl outside and had saved up for several months to buy her back. How could he have any spare money at this time?
So she gritted her teeth and said,"Why don't you take two taels from my monthly allowance and give it to Brother Lian? Although it's not much, it's still my intention!"”
Two taels? Twenty-four taels a year! How generous!
Of course, this was also her limit! If she hadn't said something wrong, she wouldn't have wasted two taels of silver!
Jia Lian didn't want to stay here any longer. After saying that he was tired, he hurriedly pulled Sister Feng and left.
When they had just left the second door, Jia She immediately twirled his beard and ordered with a smile,""Yesterday, I was still worried that I was short of two hundred taels. Today, he would make up for it with one shot, and there would still be surplus! Go and collect the silver, then get someone to bring him back from the Qingyin Pavilion!”
Madam Xing smiled." I've already let Xing 'er, who's in front of Brother Lian, go." Old Madam Fei was already waiting outside. Once Xing 'er came out, she would go immediately and guarantee that there would be no delay.”
"Good! Good! Good!" The wrinkles on Jia She's face smoothed out as he laughed and shouted,"
"Only remove the red silk characters outside the courtyard. Leave the ones inside the courtyard. Quickly check out a room in the east wing room.”
