Chapter 20: Why is the second uncle here? (Modified, two in one)(1/2)
The maid at the door told Lai Sheng that Mr. Xiao Qiang had just entered not long ago.
Lai Sheng could only smile bitterly. The second master Xiaoqiang must have said everything. When he met Wang Xifeng, he had no choice but to skip the dirty words and tell the truth.
"So what Qiang'er said is true?"
Lai Sheng couldn't ask Jia Qiang what specifically he said, so he could only nod.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that she immediately asked Lai Sheng to bring Jia Juan and Jia Qin back to teach them a lesson. Lai Sheng said: "Second Mistress Lian, I'm afraid this won't work. I have to go find the eldest and second masters." ."
"What are you looking for them for? Could it be that those two bastards are stubborn and have committed other crimes?"
Lai Sheng told the story about Jia Juan defrauding Brother Rong's money. Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "They are really good descendants in Rongguo Mansion. They are all very promising. There is no need to go to the eldest master, just go to the second master." , let the second master handle it."
Wang Xifeng has always looked down on her father-in-law. If this kind of thing is in Jia She's hands, maybe the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter after the old man makes a lot of money.
Master Zheng must deal with it fairly, and Qin and Qin can't do any tricks.
Wang Xifeng returned to the hospital and saw Jia Qiang still kneeling in the room. She snorted, "Get up and get out of here."
Jia Qiang hugged her shoulders and resigned aggrievedly, thinking that it was so dangerous to complain.
Ping'er knew his grandma's temper and advised him, "Grandma, don't be angry about this. When these two people are caught, call a few boys to take turns slapping them in the mouth."
Wang Xifeng hummed, "What do you know? Today, Jia Juan will pass on me, and tomorrow, Zhen Juan will pass on me. None of the words from the mouths of these bison-ravaged things can reach their ears."
Who told you to be so close to Uncle Xiao Rong on weekdays? It's weird not to be misunderstood and gossip. Ping'er sighed in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud. At this time, grandma was like a gunpowder jar, ready to explode at a moment's notice.
Wang Xifeng scolded: "Your father is also a careless person. He will drag all the unclean things into the room without fear of spoiling his stomach."
…………
"Are these bricks enough?" Jia Rong only understands the production process and part of the principles. How to operate it specifically requires asking craftsmen like Zongcheng and others.
Zong Cheng picked up a brick and weighed it, feeling dissatisfied. "According to Master Rong, the proportion of stones in the square needs to be experimentally studied, and there is no need for a large kiln at the moment. With these bricks and stones, find a It's more than enough to build a simple small kiln with easy access. We don't need to build another brick kiln for the time being."
Jia Juan, who was standing aside, heard that they wanted to build their own brick kiln, and immediately became unhappy. If you build a brick kiln, wouldn't you stop coming to buy bricks from me? How can I make money?
"It's not for the time being. It's because we don't need it at all. There are bricks in the brick kiln in the clan, so why go to all the trouble to do those things. Next time Brother Rong comes again, Uncle Qian will give you a cheaper price."
Jia Rong looked sideways and thought it was extremely ridiculous. This bullshit uncle's conscience was eaten by maggots. Master Zhen sent him to work as a kiln owner, but he ended up cheating the Ningguo Mansion.
At this moment, you are still thinking about how to get the money out of your own hands. Just wait, and let your gentlemen from the West Mansion take care of you later!
Brother Rong was glad that he had gained some fame in both houses and clans now, and Jia Juan had risked his own life by saying those words, otherwise there would really be nothing that could be done to him.
Before time travel, he was from a place in the south that was severely poisoned by the clan system. There was also a large group of people in his family. They were friendly on the surface, but they all had their own agenda. He had seen a lot of nasty things.
I even saw a lot of families without any relatives, and their family property was misappropriated by relatives near and far under various names.
This is also the reason why he must keep Jia Jing first. Even if Jia Jing does nothing, he is very useful as a living sign in the Ning Mansion.
Otherwise, even if the relatives in each house do not come, it will not be so easy to control the farmers, farmers, and hundreds of servants and maids in the house.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Qian. My nephew is afraid that Brother Qin's temple will use it, but when I need it here, it will be lacking again."
"No, absolutely not." Jia Juan slapped his chest loudly and said extremely seriously: "Your uncle is a considerate person. Next time, I will send someone to say hello in advance, and I will leave it for you."
With."
Jia Rong nodded his head, thinking that Jia Juan's words were all nonsense. He asked Zong Cheng and other craftsmen to count the bricks, while he and Jia Yun walked around the surrounding area.
Jia Yun said: "This is a good place. It's easy for cars and horses to come in and out, and there's a small hill behind it. It would be great to bring some water from the clan fields next to it to build a cement kiln."
Jia Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not okay. It's a big taboo to use public weapons for private use. If you belong to the clan, you belong to the clan. It's better to go to the village of Ning Mansion to find land. Here... you have to be worthy of it.
, why not become a kiln owner?”
Hearing this, Jia Yun was indeed moved. If Uncle Yan were replaced and he became the kiln owner, he would be much more stable than now. But...if he becomes the kiln owner, he will probably only be able to work in Yizhuang in the future.
.
Sooner or later Brother Rong will build his own brick kiln, and with the help of craftsmen from the Restoration Department, how can the clan's free kiln be competitive? He also thinks that Brother Rong trusts him so much that he will purchase all the materials for making cement.
Now, where can I come to work in the clan?
Jia Yun said: "Brother Rong is laughing at me. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. It's a wise choice to do it with Brother Rong."
The two walked around the area and found that there were a lot of waste bricks around the brick kiln. Brother Rong said to Jia Yun, "These wastes can be transported back and added to the materials to be burned together."
Jia Yun nodded and flattered Brother Rong. "Brother Rong is really different from outsiders. He can think of uses for waste when he sees it. Could it be that people in the sky have the means to turn waste into treasure and turn stones into gold?"
Brother Rong did not reply to his words, but only taught him not to flatter him in the future. When they returned to the brick kiln, Zong Cheng and others also counted the number of bricks, which was almost the same as the number on the note.
Jia Juan then asked shamelessly: "Brother Rong, when will the money be settled?"
"Five thousand taels of silver require several boxes to hold it. It will take some time for Brother Qiang and the others to get the money." Jia Yun looked like she was waiting to watch a show and said, "Uncle Jiao, don't worry, the response will be here soon."
.”
"No hurry, no rush." Jia Yuan said this, but his stern eyes couldn't help but glance towards the road, revealing his innermost thoughts.
Brother Rong and Jia Yun looked at each other and found it funny.
After a while, as expected, there were many cars and horses on the road. When Jia Juan saw them, he rubbed his hands repeatedly and patted Jia Qin on the shoulder. He whispered: "Brother Qin, we are going to get rich."
Jia Qin was about to cry.
Make a fortune?
Make a fortune!
Uncle Jian, don’t you recognize that the carriage in front of you looks familiar?
I didn’t recognize the carriage, or the flag on the carriage? It’s someone from Rong Mansion.
I knew it, I knew it.
Brother Rong is so abnormal today, something is wrong.
They must have listened to all those words, and this time it was a disaster. I don’t know which master from the Rong Mansion was invited to come over. If Master She could say a few nice words to him, it would be enough to pay some money for the pain. just in case……
Suddenly, Jia Qin tightly covered her mouth.
Isn’t that splendid car belonging to Aunt Xifu Lian?
Could it be that...she is here too?
With a snap, Jia Qin suddenly knelt down to Brother Rong and said urgently: "Brother Rong, save me."
The suddenness startled Jia Juan and said: "Brother Qin, what are you doing? Our money is here, get up quickly."
Brother Rong's face was expressionless, but Jia Yun followed Jia Juan's words and said: "Yes, your money is here. Hurry up and ask people to move the boxes, so that we can use the truck to transport the bricks."
"Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to move the boxes."
"Brother Rong, please save me. For the sake of us being brothers of the same race, please bypass me this time. I apologize to you, I don't want any of the money. It was Uncle Qian who asked me to come. ." Jia Qin refused to get up, her heart dropped, and she kowtowed and betrayed Jia Qian.
Jia Qin had heard of Wang Xifeng's temper. She was the most intolerant of criticism and her methods were ruthless. I don't know how many people in the Rong Mansion hated her over the years, but few dared to say a bad word behind her back. Because I was targeted by Sister Feng, nothing could end well.
With a dark face, Jia Rong shouted to the person next to him: "Why are you still looking at him? Pull him up. I'm not an official, nor am I his eldest brother. What's the point of kneeling on me?"
"Brother, Brother Rong, you are my biological brother, good brother, please save me this time."
Jia Rong sneered and said, "Don't have random relationships. If you want Master Zhen to be your father, you have to go to Ning Mansion and ask him if he agrees."
While Jia Qin was crying, the crowds of cars and horses entered Yizhuang.
A long attendant invited the person in the car in front to get out. It was Baoyu's biological father, Jia Mu's second son Jia Zheng.
He glanced at Jia Qin who was kneeling on the ground, then looked around in the crowd, and asked in a loud voice: "Where is Jia Qin? Did he run away first?"
Jia Juan, who was looking for someone to unload the goods, heard the sound and hurried over. He greeted Jia Zheng with a playful smile and asked, "Why is the second uncle here?"
Jia Zheng snorted and shouted: "Kneel down!"
"Second uncle?" Jia Juan was still in the joy of getting rich and didn't understand why his second uncle Zheng asked him to kneel down.
Jia Rong, Jia Yun and others who were standing aside looked at her coldly, but Jia Qin's body trembled and she immediately knelt down in front of Jia Zheng and cried: "Second Master, Qin'er knows that she was wrong."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but look very ugly.
These two unlucky guys were both from Rongguo Mansion, and it was he who even arranged for Jia Juan to come to Yizhuang to be the kiln owner. He originally wanted to find a job for his nephew from Rongguo Mansion, but this happened.
Master Zheng didn't even look at Jia Qin and cursed: "Kneel down and go aside. I'll take care of you after I deal with him."
"What mistake did my nephew make? My second uncle wants to punish me." Although Jia Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, he still said stubbornly, "If my second uncle wants to punish my nephew, my nephew dare not disobey, but at least he has to say To accuse my nephew."
Jia Zheng took out a note from his arms and threw it to Jia Juan.
"Look at the good things you have done. How dare you ask for five thousand taels of silver for a few bricks? And if you slandered Lian'er and his wife, do you really think I don't know about it?"
"this……"
"Don't make excuses, just kneel down. Rong'er got the advice from the princes and wanted to do something for the family, and you just stopped her like this? I think you are used to being the overlord in Yizhuang and have forgotten your last name.
"
Jia Zheng was so angry that he took the riding whip and used it on Jia Juan.
A slap bang slap!
Jia Juan fell to the ground and wailed, shouting: "Second uncle, please stop fighting. Jia Juan knows that he was wrong and won't dare to do it anymore."
After a while, Jia Juan's gorgeous brocade robe was beaten to pieces, and his whole body was rolling on the ground in pain.
