After the lake was finished with Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng continued to go back to her small courtyard and lay down, regardless of who was going to hand over the housekeeping rights.
Nowadays, there is no money left in the Jia family. It doesn’t matter whoever manages the house. If you can get money, you can manage the house well. If you can’t get money, even the gods can’t manage it well.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's eagerness to hand over the power of the housekeeper to Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng also felt a sense of urgency.
When Jia Lian returned home, Wang Xifeng drove Ping'er and others out.
Recently I have been so scared by Wang Xifeng that I don’t dare to mess around outside anymore. It has been a long time since I have tasted the joy of fish and water.
Seeing Wang Xifeng's impatient look, he couldn't help it anymore. He hugged Wang Xifeng and started to go to bed.
Wang Xifeng quickly stopped him and said, "Second Master, I have something serious to talk to you about."
Jia Lian took action and said, "When it's over, grandma can say whatever she wants."
Wang Xifeng said: "Have you forgotten the doctor's instructions?"
Jia Lian immediately did not dare to move. Not only was Wang Xifeng's body moved, but his body was also moved.
Wang Xifeng could still find out that Mrs. Wang had done something, but he couldn't find out at all.
When Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian was no longer moving, he explained what had happened today, and then put forward his own suggestions.
"Who will my uncle support? I can't tell right now. The most likely option is to just ignore it. Even if my uncle supports us, we can't have the upper hand now. It's different with Uncle Lin. He will definitely support us.
.If we get Uncle Lin’s support, we will be invincible.”
Jia Lian said with a sad face: "You are right, but Uncle Lin's relationship with our family, will he really help us?"
Wang Xifeng said: "It all depends on people. How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? Even if Uncle Lin disagrees, he will only scold you a few words at most. Compared with your title and life, being scolded is nothing."
To put it lightly, Uncle Lin was really treated as a soft persimmon, and everyone wanted to take advantage of him.
But Jia Lian also knew that they had no other choice but to ask Lin Ruhai.
King Zhongshun took Wang Tingxuan to Lin Ruhai's house to discuss the adoption of his adopted daughter. He received news from his servant and asked Jia Lian to see him.
King Zhongshun said: "I am a little interested in Jia Lian, but I don't know what happened. Jia Lian and his wife started to be wary of the second wife of the Jia family."
It turned out that Lin Daiyu secretly asked Aunt Zhang to do the thing that provoked Wang Xifeng, and she did not tell Lin Ruhai.
Hearing what King Zhongshun said, even Lin Ruhai became interested and asked someone to bring Jia Lian in.
Jia Lian didn't expect King Zhongshun to be here and didn't know what to do.
Lin Ruhai said: "Lian'er, it looks like you have something to ask for. Then just say it."
But how dare Jia Lian say it in front of King Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan? He hesitated and refused to speak.
Lin Ruhai also wanted to express his attitude to the emperor through the words of King Zhongshun, so he said: "The prince and Anminhou are here. If you speak out, they can make decisions for you. If you don't want to speak, then go back. Don't
Come to me again."
This is to tell Jia Lian that you only have one chance to speak. If you don’t speak now, you won’t speak again in the future.
Jia Lian was forced to a dead end.
After hesitating for a while, he thought about the Lin family's affairs. Others didn't know it, but Wang Tingxuan knew it. Since Wang Tingxuan knew it, King Zhongshun almost knew it too.
Since Lin Ruhai doesn't feel embarrassed, what is he afraid of?
So, he said all the words Wang Xifeng said.
Only then did Lin Ruhai know that his daughter's handwriting was included.
King Zhongshun praised: "I didn't expect that Yu'er's methods were quite powerful."
Lin Ruhai asked: "You told me this, what do you want to do?"
Jia Lian said: "Lian'er begs uncle for help."
How could Lin Ruhai dare to agree? Death several times would be enough for the Jia family's crimes.
King Zhongshun laughed in a low voice, obviously feeling that Jia Lian was delusional. Even if Lin Ruhai helped you get the title, so what? His life could not be saved, and he was still thinking about the title.
Wang Tingxuan's heart moved and he said: "Second Brother Lian, you don't have to worry about the title. What's yours is yours."
Wang Tingxuan talked about the lake, and Jia Lian listened to it even more. Lin Ruhai knew that Wang Tingxuan couldn't talk by the water, so there must be deep meaning in it.
"Lian'er, as Marquis Anmin said, you don't need to worry about the title issue. What you should worry about is the issue of heirs. The two of you should find a way to have a baby first."
In this way, Jia Lian was sent away by Mi Mi Hu Hu Di.
Thinking that Wang Tingxuan and Lin Ruhai had told him not to worry about the title issue, he felt relieved. The first priority now was the children.
After Jia Lian left, King Zhongshun asked: "Why did you agree to his request?"
Wang Tingxuan said: "I thought of the problem of the Ministry of Revenue owing money from the Jia family. The powerful people owe so much money, and no one wants to exchange it, but someone must take the lead."
There are too many people who owe money. If they don't pay, the emperor can't deal with them all. But if someone pays back the money, it will be easier.
Not all those who owe money can pay it back, and not all of them are willing to hang on without changing it. Many people have prepared money.
The reason why they borrow money is just to avoid being isolated by their colleagues. This is the case for Lin Ruhai.
Not to mention the Lin family's wealth, would he be short of money as a salt inspector?
Didn't Lin Ruhai borrow 10,000 taels of silver back then?
King Zhongshun said casually: "The Jia family has no money for a long time. Even if they want to take the lead, they can't come up with it. Are you planning to lend them money as your nephew and son-in-law? You have to know that they can't afford it back at all.
I didn’t even think about paying back the money.”
There is no need for King Zhongshun to remind him of this. The Jia family believes in borrowing money based on their ability, so why should I pay it back?
Wang Tingxuan said: "I remember that the golden book of Concubine Xiande's canonization has not been handed over to her yet. I heard that Concubine Xiande spent a lot of money and wanted to find someone to help smooth the relationship with the prince."
King Zhongshun didn't have any embarrassment, and admitted it directly and generously, saying: "She gave it voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with me."
No wonder King Zhongshun cheated Jia Yuanchun, who made her rush to become this virtuous concubine. Originally, she was almost reaching her age and was about to leave the palace, but she still wanted to be the imperial concubine.
Most of the women in the palace also want to be the imperial concubine, which is okay in the first place. She wants to die and chooses the path of Princess Zhen. It is strange that the emperor can believe her.
Wang Tingxuan continued: "I guess the Jia family does not know that Concubine Xiande did not get the gold book. If the news is revealed at that time, will the Jia family take the lead in repaying the owed money for the gold book?"
Both King Zhongshun and Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought.
The Jia family's hope was Concubine Xiande, and even hoped that Concubine Xiande could give Jia Baoyu a title. Just look at the strength of the Jia family's support for Concubine Xiande.
As long as a eunuch in the palace comes to borrow money from the Jia family, the Jia family will find a way to get it out no matter how difficult it is.
This is also the reason why eunuchs like to go to Jia's house. Without him, it would be too generous.
If the Jia family knew that Concubine Xian De needed to pay back the silver she owed in order to get the gold book of canonization, would they have committed the crime?
Most likely it will.
Apart from the virtuous concubine, the Jia family has no other hope.
Concubine Xian De is the life-saving straw of the Jia family, how could they be willing to throw it away.
