Scroll C, Chapter 127: The matter of giving birth to a son
Jia She looked at these boxes of silver ingots with satisfaction, and his smile almost reached the back of his neck.
The Ma family is really arrogant. They brought several boxes of silver ingots in one breath, five thousand taels of real money, and they were just piled up in the house. Every day when they got up, Jia She and Xing would admire this pile of silver ingots.
Half a moment.
It's not that I haven't seen silver before, but I got it out of thin air, and with just a few words, I was able to get five thousand taels of silver. This feeling is really great.
Of course, it won't just stop at these five thousand taels of silver. Once the matter is done, at least Wan'er will get eight thousand taels of silver from the Ma family.
Mrs.
She had been married into the Jia family for some time, but she had never had the opportunity to take charge of the family. Every month was only 20 taels. She could save at most 200 taels of silver in a year, but she was
The eldest wife naturally needs some dignity. She has an older brother at home, and a younger brother in the capital has to support her. It’s really difficult to have to spend money everywhere.
From the moment she entered the house, she had never been liked by the old lady. The boss was also the second daughter-in-law. Later, she simply fell into the hands of her own daughter-in-law, and she never let her hands get a little dirty. Thinking of it,
Here Mr. Xing hates the old lady with all his heart.
"Master, the second master is here." The maid outside said.
"Well, Lian'er is here, let him in." Jia She cheered up. Yesterday, Jia Lian went to Feng Ziying's banquet. Jia She specially told Jia Lian to make sure this matter is implemented so that he can return from the Ma family.
Squeeze out a sum of money.
Jia Lian entered the house and saw the boxes piled in the corner at a glance. He knew that those were the money sent by the Ma family. He sighed inwardly, but he was really afraid of his father and would beat himself up at every turn.
I can only endure it.
"Lian'er, how are you? What did the Feng family say?" Jia She didn't hide anything from his son. Five thousand taels of silver were placed here, and he was very happy.
"My son also asked Ziying, and he said that the focus of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is now on the Shi family and Yunguang. Needless to say, the Shi family, Yunguang is the governor of Shaanxi, has a high position, and is a famous person in the north.
Scholars, so everyone is paying attention. As for these bad things about the Ma family, except for the people involved in Ma Xia, well, that is, the people who got the benefits, I am afraid they have to push out the money and receive some punishment. The rest is a mess.
As long as the people in their house don't complain about this matter, it probably won't be too big..."
It's all cliche nonsense, but it's also true.
Of course, it was impossible for Feng Ziying to tell Jia Lian anything, and he didn't have the ability to do so. He could only say these words, but they sounded like Feng Lun in Jia She's ears. The teacher of the Feng family's eldest son was Ducha.
As for the left deputy censor of the imperial court, it is said that he will be promoted from the right deputy censor to the left deputy censor soon.
"Well, Lian'er, it goes without saying that the Ma family will return the money. What does it mean to be punished?" Jia She is also very meticulous about this aspect. It is about how much money can be squeezed out of the Ma family. Naturally, we can't be careless.
To the effect, "Should I go to jail or be fined some money?"
"It's hard to say." Jia Lian shook his head. It was impossible for him to be so meticulous about Feng Ziying.
"Lian'er, go and talk to the Feng family's eldest son and find a way to fine the Ma family some money, so as to save some face. The Ma family will definitely be richly rewarded." Jia She said with a golden sword.
"Master, I'm afraid it's hard to say. Ziying is not from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it's impossible for him to intervene directly. Besides, Ziying can't ask the Ma family for anything in return." Jia Lian frowned.
"Huh, who doesn't know that Mr. Dalang of the Feng family is the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Who doesn't give him some face? He doesn't want the money, we do!" Jia She curled his lips, with dissatisfaction on his face, "They
Our family is piled with gold and silver, so we don’t have to worry about expenses. What about our family? We are sitting on nothing. Over the past year, our expenses have been getting smaller and smaller. How can Sister Feng be so good at being the head of the family?"
"Yes, this Sister Feng keeps complaining about poverty in front of us all day long, and she has to save money when buying this or that, but our Jia family in Rongguo Mansion still has a face, and the master must have a pomp when he goes out to socialize, right?"
Ms.
"Madam, Sister Feng has been feeling unwell these past few days and is being raised at home." To his wife, Jia Lian still defended herself.
"Hmph, you only know that your wife is in poor health, so why have you ever cared about your sister? Your sister has been lying in the house for several days. She requires medical medication. The doctor also said that your sister was frightened and could not sleep at night.
Okay, I'm afraid I need to use some high-class people. I went to the house and asked, and they said that except for the two century-old ginseng plants left to the old lady, there were only some ginseng seeds left. Naturally, no one dared to use the old lady's.
We can't afford to delay what happened, but what use are these ginseng seeds? They said they have to wait ten and a half months before they can come back. Can this disease be delayed?"
Xing, who had a straight face, made use of the topic.
Jia Lian was shocked, "What's wrong with my sister?"
"God knows, even if I went to your room to have a meal and came back, I would be fine. This doctor is also vain and unclear. In my opinion, he is a quack!"
Although Ms.
Get some money back.
"If you really need it urgently, then go to Brother Keng to get some. I heard that their village in Liaodong sends some good ginseng antler back every year." Jia Lian could only say.
He remembered this aspect clearly. At the end of every year, the Feng Mansion would send local specialties from various places, including ginseng and antler. Some of them were sent to the Jia Mansion as gifts.
"Humph, the Feng family also sent some ginseng antler to our family, but we never thought that it would be used completely by people in half a year. They are all people who hope to live forever, so how can they care if they are sick?
"
Xing's words were a bit insinuation. When Jia Lian changed color, Jia She's face suddenly darkened, "That's enough, stop talking about these useless things!"
Seeing Jia She's anger, Mrs.
"Lian'er, you have to keep an eye on this matter. If you have nothing to do, go to Feng Family Dalang's place for a walk. You can always hear some rumors." Jia She warned.
"Master, Brother Keng is very busy now. He can't see you on weekdays. Yesterday afternoon, he was still in the palace to meet with the emperor. He said that he would go to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet with the chief minister this morning..."
Jia Lian's words also made Jia She sigh in admiration, "I have long said that this eldest son of the Feng family is a promising man, and the second son also hopes that Baoyu can learn something from him, but I don't see Baoyu doing that all day long.
The situation swirling in the rouge pile, how can someone look like the Feng family's elder brother is studying? In my opinion, that brother Huan will probably be more promising than him in the future. "
"What I'm saying is that Brother Keng is indeed very optimistic about Brother Huan's studies." Jia Lian quickly agreed.
"Well, you remember Lian'er. Be sure to keep an eye on it. You also go to the box to get five... two hundred taels of silver for use." Seeing that his son was so knowledgeable, Jia She nodded, and then turned to look.
He glanced at Mr.
Of course Jia Lian was overjoyed, but Xing was overjoyed. He never thought that Jia She, with his temperament like an iron rooster, could make an exception and get hundreds of taels of silver.
"Don't worry, sir, my brother just likes to drink and hang out, so he doesn't dare to do anything." Xing was happy to think that after getting the two hundred taels of silver, it would be easier to give it to him.
It was early morning when Feng Ziying woke up. She had been drinking leisurely yesterday. After all, she was the master and she was outside.
Looking at the sweat towel, purse, and sachet on the bedside, Feng Ziying couldn't help but breathe in the sweet fragrance in the air.
The girls can't live up to their sincerity. In addition to the gifts from the girls in the house, Lin Yatou, Bao Yatou and Tan Yatou all sent their own gifts. Even Shi Xiangyun and Jia Yingchun also had gifts.
.
"Master, are you up?" Hearing a noise on the bed, Yu Chuan'er came in lamely from outside the door, and saw Feng Ziying lying on the bed with her eyes wide open. She was startled, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to be able to do whatever I want from now on when my father turns sixteen. Well, even my mother encourages me to do whatever I want. Yu Chuan'er, don't you think so?" Feng Ziying squinted.
After taking a look, his face turned red, and he twisted the jade bracelet in his hand.
Yu Chuan'er followed her sister and accepted the rules on the first day she came here, that is, anyone who dares to seduce me before he turns sixteen will be dragged out and beaten to death.
However, there was another thing that was not said, but many people in the house knew that the wife actually hoped that I would leave incense to the Feng family as soon as possible after he turned sixteen. After all, in this era, children were born at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
There are also many men, so I am already quite stable.
Who can give birth to a son for me first? In fact, the eyes of the whole family have been focused on several people in the house in the past few days.
My sister is the oldest, older than me. She is already seventeen. Xiangling and Yun Shang are also similar in age to me, but I am the youngest. As my father often says, if a girl is under sixteen years old, she will have children.
That is to go to the gate of hell. If not, it will kill two people. The best age for girls to have children is after the age of eighteen.
But this is definitely something my wife doesn’t like to hear. Even I don’t dare to say it in front of my wife. I only dare to say it in front of a few of my own people. There are many women who give birth to children at the age of fourteen or fifteen these days. It turns out that Jia
Aunt Zhao was only fifteen years old when she gave birth to the third girl?
