Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　On the second day, the good news came that the thieves actually committed suicide in prison!

　　Jia Zhen is so proud!Huang Shaoqing is indeed a good person!

　　There is no threat outside, but chaos at home.

　　Without Keren's central scheduling, Yindie suddenly lost his hands and feet. In less than two days, he complained again and again and asked Jia Zhen to come here.After all, Jia Zhen is soft-hearted, and it is her own business. She can't do it herself, let the servants carry it, and wander around in several houses. Financial resources, such as teaching Yindie, and accidentally invented a few dew, frost, etc., the business not only did not lose money, but became more prosperous.

　　On this day, Jia Zhen came to You's Hospital on a crutch.Caiping and Caifeng helped him sit down inside.You held Xiao Jia Shu in his arms and coaxed him to sleep. When she saw Jia Zhen coming over, she handed Jia Shu to the nanny to hold her carefully, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing my master still remembers this place, but you haven't been here for a long time. I am a yellow-faced woman. No one wants it, don’t even want your own son?”

　　Jia Zhen secretly said that this woman has a son, and her waist is straight.He didn't care about it at the moment, and said, "These days, we are discussing with the Marquis of Pingyuan, the Marquis of Jingtian, and the Uncle Jinxiang, and we have put down a few shops to sell fresh things from the north and the south. Originally, they were only on a whim. The dude tried to get me to buy shares, just trying to deceive me for some money. But you know that I don’t do anything, I have to make a name for myself. I have to plan carefully for them. Yesterday, I sent people to Yangzhou. Back then, the family supervised the construction of the sea boat, and there are still some ways to go."

　　Knowing that Jia Zhen was busy with business affairs, You Shi put away his thoughts, took the tea cup from Caiping's hand, and handed it to Jia Zhen, "Master, there is quite a balance at home now, it's not as difficult as it was in previous years, and you are still healthy. No, it should be cultivated at home, if you have something to do, tell Brother Rong to do it! But you are not at ease!"

　　Jia Zhen took a sip of tea and held it in her hand, "A little injury won't get in the way. I'm afraid I can walk around faster." The color screen took the tea cup from his hand.

　　"I want to drink!" Jia Zhen said to the color screen.

　　Relying on the fact that he was a maid, Cai Ping put the tea on the table and went to tease Xiao Shu'er.Caifeng on the side laughed out loud.

　　You didn't think it was strange, and only persuaded Jia Zhen to say: "I know you can't be idle, but you are the backbone of the family, and everything can't be ignored. Think about Shu'er and your concubines. If you have any problems, Who can they rely on?"

　　Jia Zhen saw that her demeanor was demure and elegant, and her pink robe added a touch of charm to her, and she couldn't help but praise: "Mrs. is getting more and more beautiful."

　　You Shi's face was red when he saw it, and he broke his fingers and said, "No matter how beautiful you are, you can't be more beautiful than your concubines. Not to mention the lovely people who go home, Yin Die and Ermei Shui Ling can squeeze out water, and there are three children. He Qingwen is a beautiful girl, and they are your roommates sooner or later. What am I?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "How do they compare to you? The so-called dignified and beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, is you."

　　You Shi's blushing didn't fade away, "You can fool me with all the good ones. I don't know how much I have? It's just that it doesn't get in your way."

　　Jia Zhen stepped forward and took You Shi's hand, "Why are you fooling me? I'm telling the truth. What's more, thanks to my wife's worries, the family has saved me a lot of trouble."

　　"Amitabha!" Youshi bowed his head to the sky, "I can't afford to worry about the word. I'm just afraid that my actions are too vicious and domineering and hurt someone's heart, and I have to ask the master to punish me!"

　　Jia Zhen laughed and said: "You! I don't know where you learned to be sloppy? I know who you are talking about. Qingwen is stubborn and outspoken. Many girls and women have been scolded by her, and they have won a yakka for nothing. In fact, she has no bad heart, nor is she arrogant. On that day, when I saw her tearful eyes, I asked her what was wrong, and she only said she was fascinated, but she didn't say that you taught her a lesson. "

　　You Shi's face turned cold when she heard the words: "Does she dare to sue behind her back?"

　　Jia Zhen hurriedly explained: "She didn't say a word, it was all my inquiries. In my opinion, it's a good thing for you to teach her a lesson from time to time. There must be someone in the family who can fall down on her so that she won't fly up into the sky. "

　　You Shi laughed and said, "Then why don't you teach her a lesson yourself, but let me be a villain?"

　　Jia Zhen sneered: "Where am I willing to?"

　　"I knew it was like this!" You Shi gave Jia Zhen a sideways look, "I will teach Qingwen a lesson in the future. When there are still three children, you can't feel bad!"

　　"Okay, it's up to you!" Jia Zhen nodded and added: "They are still young, so don't go too far..."

　　Seeing that You Shi's face was getting darker, Jia Zhen changed her words: "In short, you have the final say in the family affairs."

　　You Shi faintly sighed, "I didn't see you treating me like this before." An air of resentment rushed towards me.Jia Zhen had no choice but to talk about him, "I heard Director Huang say that this year's harvest is good. Only one or two places have reported droughts and floods in more than a dozen villages. It's better than last year!"

　　You Shi coldly snorted, Fang cleared his mind, and said, "The former concubine came to visit the mansion and listened to Feng girl's calculations, they only have so much together, and they are two less than the old year, and they are worried about the end of the year. I can’t afford it, so I have to move the money from the officials to make up for it. It’s much worse than us!”

　　When Jia Zhen heard this, she curled her lips and said, "Although Feng girl is a shrewd and capable girl, she can't be the master after all, and she lives in the house. The eldest master over there is just having fun, the second master is just talking, and Brother Lian can't support the overall situation. Baoyu is too young and used to it. Mixing in the girl team. The family only cares about the immediate savings, and there is no income, I am afraid that there will be compensation in the future. How can you compare with us?"

　　You can't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Yes, yes, you are wise and martial, but I don't know who pawned Zhuangzi outside the city back then?"

　　"Uh..." Jia Zhen's face stiffened, and she said displeasedly, "That's also a matter of urgency..."

　　You Shi's brows and eyes curved, and the corners of his mouth rose, obviously not believing.Jia Zhen coughed lightly: "It was a bit of a frenzy back then." Isn't the Jia Zhen of that time the current Jia Zhen?Just can't say it.He glared at You Shi angrily, where did the gentle and docile grandmother of Dongfu go?He stomped his foot, and the wound on his leg was still aching.

　　You Shi didn't care, she quickly put away her smile, squatted down beside him, and lightly pressed the wound on his leg. "Master, my concubine is joking with you. It's not worthwhile to move the wound."

　　Jia Zhen simply lay on the back, closed her eyes and snorted from her nose, "This is it, rub it again."

　　You Shi looked at Jia Zhen closing her eyes and resting while pressing the button. She was really tired from busy work in the past few months, and she shouldn't have given him a look.Although he has a lewd problem, he doesn't just drag him into the room because of his looks. He wants to say that his maid Caiping looks and looks similar to Yindie, but he doesn't see him starting, which shows that he is different from others.He respects and loves each other, and makes himself the head of the family. Now that he has a son, he will depend on him for the rest of his life. What else can he ask for?You Shi secretly persuaded himself not to be jealous, all men are donkeys, and they can only smooth their hair.

　　When You Shi was concerned, he smiled and said, "Master, Keren has been home for a few months, and he doesn't know when he will be back. You are missing someone, do you want me to look for you? Find someone who is stunning. Did you warm the bed?"

　　Jia Zhen suddenly opened her eyes and stared at You Shi, "Am I hallucinating?"

　　You Shi spat: "I just pretended to be dead. As soon as I heard that I found someone for you, I came to life! I just said I'll find you a stunning one!"

　　Jia Zhen scratched her ears, "I must have heard it wrong, it's enough for me to have you with me!" After that, she closed her eyes again.

　　You Shi knew that he didn't say it, but he couldn't tell how happy he was!Without saying anything, "the family is not enough, and the concubine plans to buy some girls from Jiangnan to come back, what do you think?"

　　Jia Zhen pretended not to hear, and agreed with ten thousand in her heart.You Shi's face smiled, but still had some taste, "Master, if you don't speak, the concubine will treat you as agreeing?"

　　Jia Zhen's mind is full of thin horses in Yangzhou, and Qin Huai is beautiful. She needs to agree immediately, and the shadow of Keqing flashes in front of her eyes.At the beginning, regardless of making a big mistake, I was happy that I had harmed others for a lifetime. Now it is more like a yoke that traps me tightly, and I don't know what to do.Ke Qing's resentful eyes pierced into Jia Zhen's heart, and a little bit of careful thought disappeared.There is still a stunning person in the family that has not been settled, and he has to provoke others, I am afraid that his body will not be able to stand it.

　　So Jia Zhen shook her head with difficulty, "Forget it, I don't have to do this when I look at my family." You Shi looked at Jia Zhen in surprise, he actually refused such a good thing?

　　At this moment, Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, and then she said, "Spend the money on the right path and repair the garden seriously!"

　　You Shi came back to his senses, "Okay, what kind of garden to build? You really have money and nowhere to spend!"

　　Jia Zhen said, "When the garden is repaired, you will all go to live in the garden and buy some pretty girls..."

　　"Bah!" You Shi thought he had changed! "A real country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change." Even the color screen Caifeng who was waiting on the side cast a look of contempt.

　　Jia Zhen indifferently instructed: "Tomorrow, ask Huang An to invite Mr. Shan Ziye to take a look at the houses in the back, and make drawings. What should be demolished, and what should be built, must look good!"

　　You Shi looked at Jia Zhen blankly: "Master, are you serious? There's nothing to say about repairing the garden in vain!"

　　Jia Zhen said: "I've been bored for a long time about one thing, but you reminded me now. We have made a lot of money this year. Although we have thinned the shares, we don't worry about someone making trouble, but after all, we have more money. It makes people jealous, especially in the eyes of those who care. I don’t know what to think of us! I’m suspicious, so instead of letting them worry about it, I’d better play a fool’s errand and let them think that I’m still the old Jia Zhen, and money will come quickly. , go faster. That way they won't doubt me."

　　"Master..." You didn't know that Jia Zhen was thinking so far, so she nodded solemnly, "My concubine will ask Huang An to find that Shan Ziye tomorrow to draw a picture, it must be the best looking."

　　Jia Zhen touched her nose again hesitantly, "Well, just let others think it looks good. That is to say, if we only spent [-] taels, we will say that we spent [-] taels, understand?"

　　You Shi smiled and nodded, "My concubine understands, sir, you are so treacherous!"

　　This is the second person to say that Jia Zhen is treacherous.

　　In fact, it's the same, generally upright people don't do so many bad things like him.

　　Jia Zhen was still immersed in the beauty of the future meeting Fangyuan, when You interrupted him inappropriately: "Master, Brother Qiang found a concubine a few days ago." You looked at Jia Zhen carefully.

　　Jia Zhen asked, "Brother Qiang?" Jia Qiang originally lived in the mansion, but she had moved out for a long time because of her poor voice. "He wasn't studying at school, what did he say?"

　　You just heard him smiling and said, "He said he couldn't memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. It's better to come out and do things for the master than to waste time and waste time."

　　Jia Zhen was noncommittal, "How did you answer him?"

　　You didn't know what Jia Zhen was thinking, so she could only continue to say: "My concubine wanted to arrange him to be a steward in a nearby Zhuangtian, but he was not happy and wanted to find a deacon in the capital. My concubine did not dare to make random promises, only I told you that I would report it to you. When I talked about repairing the garden just now, my concubine thought it would be better to arrange for him to pick and buy trees. One of them won his heart, and the other was to use his talents. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”

　　It's not that Jia Zhen is reluctant to arrange a deacon for him, but the rumors at the beginning were really unbearable, and even Jia Zhen himself was implicated. Now that he is allowed to enter and leave the mansion, what if there are more rumors?

　　Seeing Jia Zhen's doubts, You said, "Is your lord worried about Brother Rong? Actually, there is no need to worry. Now that they are all grown up and married again, it will be different. Besides, Brother Qiang is also a serious master. My nephew, who is smart and should be used as an arm, how can you turn your elbows out?"

　　Let’s say that Jia’s family is in the second room of Duzhong, and in this room of Ningfu, everyone who has grown up, or is a steward or a deacon, has arrangements. Accident in vain.Occasionally there are one or two bad things, which Ni Erbao and Jia Zhen have already known about, ranging from a meal plan to sending farmland outside the customs.Therefore, there are many people in the Ningfu people who are happy and happy, and there are very few people who are evil.That's why Jia Zhen doesn't mind giving Jia Qiang a chance. If she is really talented, she will naturally be reused.

　　Jia Zhen agreed.

　　He stretched his back and said with a smile, "I came here to hide from you, I didn't expect so many things to happen."

　　You said with a smile: "Master, nothing else matters. We need to make it clear that the matter of repairing the garden is not your concubine's concubine!"

　　Jia Zhen looked at her constricted appearance and laughed, "It's all my own idea, can't you? Bring our son to me and take a look!"

　　Caiping hurriedly carried Xiao Jia Shu over and handed it to Jia Zhen.

　　Jia Zhen looked at the little baby with a burst of pride.I have created all the characters that were not in the original Dream of Red Mansions, what else can’t be done and can’t be changed?

　　He lifted Xiao Jiashu, Xiao Jiashu was crying, and a handful of boy urine was spilled on Jia Zhen's clothes.

　　Cai Ping and Nanny hurriedly took Xiao Jia Shu and changed into swaddle clothes.

　　You Shi smiled and stepped forward to take off his shirt for Jia Zhen, and was caught in Jia Zhen's arms unexpectedly.You Shi panicked: "Master, it's sunny and sunny, the girls are still there!"

　　Jia Zhen winked at them, how could Caifeng et al.Go out and close the door.

　　"No one is there now."

　　Jia Zhen is about to kiss.

　　You Shi's body had already recovered at this time, and he was at the age of a wolf like a tiger.So the two of them undressed and took off their belts, like glue like paint, needless to say.

Chapter [-] The decision of the couple

Early the next morning, the director Huang An really went to invite an old Ming Gong number Shanziye, Jia Zhen, and other managers, together with several familiar managers and promotions, to inspect the interior of the mansion, and repair the pavilions and pavilions. , while observing the management personnel.Since then, craftsmen from all walks of life have gathered together, and things such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and civil engineering, bricks and tiles have been transported and transported.Shilling craftsmen tore down the arrow path down the Tianxiang Building, the courtyard to the east, and all the houses of the servants.Huifang Garden originally drew a stream of living water from under the wall at the north corner, and then led eastward according to the geographical situation.Anything like digging ponds in the mountains, erecting towers and erecting pavilions, planting bamboo and flowers, and spotting scenery, etc., are all governed by the Shanziye system.Jia Zhen may have a request, and he also negotiates with him to build and renovate it separately.Jia Rong is also in charge of making gold and silver utensils, Jia Qiang buys trees, Huang An and others also order people, open registers, and supervise work.

　　Besides, Jia Rong has led the deacon by herself, but she is also diligent.A few months have passed, and by the end of the year, all the gold and silver utensils have been finished, so Jia Rong went to Conglutang to settle old accounts.When I got to the outside world, I only heard the sound of the abacus dialed by the people.Ruizhu hurriedly collected the account book and greeted her with a smile: "Master, you are late, grandma isn't here for a while!"

　　Jia Rong looked inside, unable to see anyone through the curtain, and asked, "Where's your grandma?"

　　Ruizhu hurriedly replied: "Uncle Qiang bought the wrong tree species, and more than a dozen taels were written off. Grandma is going to check with Manager Huang, and a few more princes' mansions rushed to write off the bills together. Next, I used the money to pay for all the expenses of repairing the garden. There are dozens of other items, and I'm really busy without touching the ground. You don't know, grandma, today's only a bowl of japonica rice porridge. , she still insisted, and the slave did not listen to her after persuading her several times."

　　Jia Rong only took a few steps forward and said casually, "Your grandma has always been strong."

　　Ruizhu smiled and said, "No, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in our house every year, and there is not one or two mistakes. It's all thanks to grandma." Seeing Jia Rong insisting on going inside, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Uncle , before leaving, grandma instructed the slaves to tell the uncle a word!"

　　Jia Rong looked at Ruizhu and said, "What is she going to tell me?"

　　Ruizhu moved a few steps and walked to Jia Rong, "Grandma said, if the uncle comes, just say that the old account has been settled clearly, and the remaining three hundred silver has been put into the fleeting account, and the expenses have been added separately."

　　Jia Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's your grandma who knows about my hard work outside."

　　Ruizhu stood there with her hands down and said, "Grandma also said that the uncle has a good face. If you have to worry about a few dishes, won't you lose the face of Ningguofu? I'd rather be more expensive than let people look down on it. we."

　　Jia Rong nodded again and again, and cupped her hands inwardly, "Ke Qing, who knows me! That's what I really think!" After that, she approached Ruizhu and said, "Good sister, is your grandma in Conglutang tonight? rest?"

　　Ruizhu thought for a moment, "Originally after the twenty-fifth of each month, my grandmother was in Tianxiang Building to do the accounting, but because of the renovation of Tianxiang Building, this month is the end of the year. As a rule, it is necessary to close the account before the small year, and there are industrial shops everywhere. , The artificial materials and miscellaneous items in the garden have to be settled. I am afraid that I will be too busy on the fifth day, so my grandma has set a day to write off the bills at Conglutang from the tenth to the twentieth day of the lunar new year. Today is the tenth day of the lunar new year, and my grandma needs to be at Conglutang tonight. Rest!"

　　With a disappointed look on Jia Rong's face, she took out a small brocade box from her bosom and handed it to Ruizhu, "You give this to your grandma. Say yes... that's all, you just leave it to her!"

　　Ruizhu held the brocade box and asked, "What is this?"

　　Jia Rong waved her hand and turned away.

　　Ruizhu sent it to the door, and when Jia Rong was far away, she returned to the inner room.

　　Keqing is sitting on the case and transcribing the accounts.She heard the curtain rattle, but without raising her head, she asked, "Has Brother Rong gone?"

　　Ruizhu chuckled lightly, stood in front of the case and replied, "The slave has already told him what Grandma said, so I'm going to send it." Then she put the brocade box in front of Keqing, "Uncle Rong gave it to you."

　　Ke Qing played the abacus for a while, muttered a few important numbers in his mouth, double-checked it, and then said: "Throw something aside."

　　Ruizhu picked up the brocade box and said with a smile, "Why don't you look at what it is?"

　　But Keqing said, "Zuo is just those things, maybe someone else picked it up. I don't care about it!" She glanced at Ruizhu, stopped and teased, "If you want it, how about I give it to you? "

　　Ruizhu spat, "I don't deserve anything from Brother Rong as a servant!" As she spoke, she put the brocade box into the lacquer box on the bookshelf. There were already many boxes in it.She suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "It is said that Brother Rong is infatuated, but it is a pity that Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless!"

　　Ke Qing put the ledger in the box and locked it, and said angrily, "You little hoof, know what is infatuation and ruthlessness? Are you mad at me on purpose? See if I don't tear your mouth!" Picking up a feather duster, Chao Ruizhu chase.
