In the bright and cold Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Huan, Jia Lian and Jia Rong were sitting on two rows of opposite nanmu chairs, falling to the ground in the morning sunshine.

The old god Jia Huan picked up the white Jun kiln tea cup on the dark red high table next to his hand, took a sip of the hot tea, and ignored Jia She.

Lin Ruhai left him one million taels of silver as his reward for taking care of Daiyu. What he now reported is two hundred thousand taels. The most clever lies are all true and false, and they often hide one or two in the most critical places. Fools all know that Lin Ruhai will leave money for him.

The Lin family has been marquis for generations and has accumulated several generations. Before Lin Ruhai died, he was appointed as the Yan Jingshi. In the impression of everyone, Lin Ruhai was a rich man. Since he entrusted his orphan to Jia Huan, he would definitely leave Jia Huan with some money.

You should know that Lin Ruhai asked Jia Lian to help him handle the inheritance of up to one million taels of silver. These are all the "expenditures" of Daiyu in the Jia family. In fact, Lin Ruhai has been in business for many years, so he naturally knows it.

Of course, the money has now been used as a fund for the construction of the villa for the Jia family. After a while, Jia Yuanchun, who was promoted to the imperial concubine, came back to visit the villa and named it "Grand View Garden".

Jia Huan ignored Jia She's feelings. The tense atmosphere became a little awkward. In front of Jia Huan, even if Jia She's eyes floated over, Jia Rong and Jia Lian would not talk much. This team cannot stand.

Jia Zheng naturally would not ask for money for Jia She. If he wanted to say that his niece's expense of living in the Jia family, that one million taels would be enough. How could he ask Jia Huan what he wanted? That was the private money left to his niece by his brother-in-law.

Seeing that no one was helping, Jia She had an unhappy expression on her old face with bags on her eyes, but 200,000 taels of silver were right in front of her. How could he let go? Looking at Jia Huan, it cost a lot of money to build a villa in the village at home. There are deficiencies everywhere. Since you have idle silver on hand, you can take it out to fill the cost of your home."

This is a very ugly appearance.

Among the masters of the Jia family, there is no doubt that Jia Zheng is the first. Jia Yuanchun is his daughter, Wang Ziteng is his inner brother, and he is favored by Jia Mu. Even if Jia She inherited the title and was the eldest son, it would not be possible to surpass him. But Jia Zheng never cared about civil affairs.

If Jia Huan handed over the money and filled the so-called Jia family's deficit, the money would flow into Jia She's pocket in a few days. Can the butler in the Jia family still stop Jia She?

Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Jia Rong have different expressions. Jia She's greed, cruel and lustfulness are famous in the Jia family. But this is a sensation...

Jia Huan laughed and said, "When I talked about the construction of the Guiqing Villa, I have a reply to Ming and my uncle in advance. I once asked Brother Qiang to bring me a message back in Jinling. If anyone dares to be greedy and impurities, don't blame me for turning against me. Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and I will check the account before the New Year."

Jia Rong and Jia Lian both sighed in their hearts. They didn't take more. The ones who really took more were the master and the ones who were under the control.

Jia She's face suddenly became unfavorable, and she snorted coldly: "Brother Huan, it's not your turn to make the decision on the matter in this mansion. You are doing a big business outside! I heard that Bishuang cream and perfume are selling very well. How much money have you not handed over to Gongzhong in the past or two years? I think it's necessary to check the accounts carefully."

The feudal family implemented a financial system of living together and communism. The money earned by men outside must be uniformly distributed by their elders. For example, the official salary and silver of Jia She and Jia Zheng were directly included in the Jia family's official family.

Of course, the bigger the family, the harder it is to manage. Everyone has a small treasury. Just look at Jia Lian and you will understand.

In the Jia family, Jia Mu is still there, and Jia She and Jia Zheng have not yet separated. Jia She said she wanted to investigate Jia Huan's "small treasury" and asked Jia Huan to pay the extra income. This is indeed a matter of fact.

In Rongxi Hall, the atmosphere became tense again and became opposite. The cracks, because of the silver incident, had clearly appeared between Jia Huan and Jia She, who had "intimate cooperation" many times.

Jia Huan was unmoved and said calmly: "Uncle wants to check my account, you can try it." His voice was very flat, showing his will, but his attitude was very tough.

Jia Rong and Jia Lian couldn't help looking at each other. Is this a broken-up? What did Brother Huan (Uncle) think? Just returned to the mansion, and just did this?

Jia Zheng said with an unhappy expression: "Okay. Brother Huan, you are dating a famous prostitute in Jinling, which ruined the reputation of my Jia family. I haven't settled the score with you yet. In the first month of the lunar month, the imperial concubine is going to come back to visit her relatives. What is the account at home? If something happens, I will show you a joke to others?"

He doesn't care about the family affairs. He likes stability, peace, singing and dancing, and peaceful situations. He scolds Jia Huan for dating famous prostitutes just to find a reason.

After saying that, Jia Zheng said to Jia She again: "Brother, the younger generation saved some money, and every family has it. Besides, we came here like this back then. There is no need to be serious." Of course, he would not agree to Jia She to investigate Jia Huan's account. He was not so weak.

Jia She sneered and picked up the white porcelain teacup on the table to drink tea. He felt extremely uncomfortable. His younger brother disagreed. He wanted to make trouble for Jia Huan in vain.

Jia Huan gave Jia Zheng a lot of face and didn't say anything. The account for building the Grand View Garden must be investigated. This is related to his prestige in the Jia Mansion. However, Jia Zheng now objected, so he had to wait.

It happened that lunch was already at this time, and the discussions at Rongxi Hall ended. It was a bad conclusion.

…

Jia Zheng, Jia Huan and others came out of Rongxi Hall one after another. In winter, the housekeeper and servant were waiting under the eaves of the eaves.

Jia Lian took the servant and followed Jia She to the east. Jia Huan followed Jia Zheng to his outer study. The lunch in the inner house had already started at Jia Mu's place, and none of them would eat with their inner family members.

Looking at the backs of Jia Zheng, Jia She and others, Jia Rong shook his head. He was the last to leave. He ordered the waiting housekeeper Shan Daliang to take his subordinates to clean up Rongxi Hall and close it. He looked at the familiar gardens and houses in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

Uncle Huan is back and the mansion is about to enter a troublesome situation again!

Although he was timid and had no ability, Xijue's horizon has broadened his horizons over the past few years and still understands some things. It is obvious that Uncle Huan returned with the "general trend" and had the intention of "energy". Therefore, he had a quarrel with the master just after he came back today.

When Jia Rong was standing at the door of Rongxi Hall and was thinking, a few shouts came from his ears, "Uncle Rong, Uncle Rong." Jia Rong came to her senses and saw the butler Shan Daliang bowing and looking at him with a flattery. She smiled in her heart: This old man, who is the one who embezzled the most in this garden, is him.

Jia Rong revealed: "Single butler, you're fine. The master said in person that he wouldn't let Uncle Huan check the accounts." Since the Lai family was cleared to Jinling by Uncle Huan to farm, the butler in the Jia family had no such title as grandpa or elder brother.

Shan Dalian suddenly felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his round face. The 40-50-year-old suddenly saw that he looked a little radiant and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie Rong takes care of me. I bought a new maid at my house. I turned around and asked Mr. Rong to beat me up."

When Lai Da and Lai Er were the stewards of the two mansions, the Lai family had dozens of maids. He is now the stewards of the Jia mansion, and the family is gradually flourishing. If it comes to food, clothing, and expenses, it is difficult for him to offer to Jia Rong. But he knows Jia Rong's hobbies: women.

He privately heard that Grandma Rong had been retired. Grandma Rong often mingled with his stepmother Youshi's two sisters.

Jia Rong looked at Shan Daliang with satisfaction and smiled, "Yeah." He responded, stomped his feet, took the servant Shouer, Xier and others out of the corner and returned to the East Mansion.

…

Back in the courtyard located east of Jia Mansion, Jia She was so angry that she sat in the chair and scolded Jia Lian with a serious face, "Look, the father and son are so together. You are so happy, I ask you to help me say something, but you don't want to."

The king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son. The few people who are too lazy to beat Jia Huan like Jia Zheng. Jia She would scold and beat Jia Lian at any time.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the servant Hong'er, Zhao'er and others who came in immediately quit after serving tea.

Jia Lian lowered his head and smiled helplessly: "Father, don't you know how many handles Feng Jie'er has in the hands of Brother Huan. How dare I speak?"

He refused to stand in this team. Besides, his family had already taken one million taels of silver from his cousin Lin's family.

Jia Lian's words were a bit embarrassing: he was afraid of his wife. But everyone in the house knew this. Jia She hated him for being useless and scolded: "It's useless."

Brother Huan can't just forget the money in his hand.

…

Jia Huan was half a step behind Jia Zheng and walked along the corridor in front of Rongxi Hall to the flower hall next to Jia Zheng's study.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Huan from the corner of his eyes, feeling a little relieved. After all, he didn't protect him just now.

If Jia Huan knew that Jia Zheng thought so, he would probably be speechless. He followed Jia Zheng not to express closeness to this cheap father, but to have something to talk to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's ability and temperament are not enough to become an ally or are worthy of entrusting major events. At critical moments, it is unreliable.

What do you do with the "father, kindness, filial son"?

Jia Huan did not have the idea of ​​finding a father for himself. Even though Jia Zheng was the number one male protagonist in the Jia family.

His father, Jia Zheng, cannot afford it.

After entering the flower hall, Jia Zheng's chief followed Li Shi'er and the servant to tea, ordered a charcoal basin, and smiled at Jia Huan before leaving.

Jia Huan looked at the quiet flower hall. On the front was a pair of ink inscriptions of Yan Zhenqing, under which were the Eight Immortals Tables, Pear Blossom Chairs, and also the incense burner, mahogany strip table, several kiln porcelains, vases, small Western clocks and other utensils.

The wealth and honor of a century-old aristocratic race is immersed in the subtleties of the flower hall. It is mixed with the sunshine of the cold winter month and exudes a unique charm.

This was the first time Jia Huan followed Jia Zheng to a daily activity venue. He remembered his feelings when he visited ancient residences at tourist attractions, which were less than one ten thousandth of what Jia Zheng had.
