Chapter 50

86_86438 It was said that Jia She had settled the property of Rongguo Mansion outside. Thinking of the greedy slaves inside, he called Jia Lian: "What are you talking about? It doesn't take anything to recover the old debts of your second wife."
Witness. Read the book at midnight and sell all the second wife’s people tomorrow.”
Jia Lian flattered him and said, "I am still wise. I have already made an agreement with Ren Yaozi to make friends with you in these few days."
Jia She said: "You can do it as you see fit."
The next day, Jia Lian went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take a day off, and took all the servants of Mrs. Wang's family in the mansion, except for the maids and boys who were serving in the master's house, and sent them to Renyazi with great fanfare.
They went to sell it everywhere. Because Jia Mu had people guarding the yard to prevent any wind from getting in, Jia Mu didn't know it at all.
After hearing the report, Mrs. Wang ignored the rules and rushed to the front and cursed: "Lian'er, are you going to rebel?"
Jia Lian asked curiously: "Now that the family is in a difficult situation, there are thieves in the house, and we can no longer live. Isn't it right to sell a few people for money to eat? Should we drink the northwest wind as a whole house?"
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Our house has always only bought people. When have we ever sold people? Do we still need face?"
Jia Lian waved his hand: "That's all, Second Madam, you are still dreaming. Now that you have lost all your dignity, why do you need to save face?"
Mrs. Wang's face was filled with uncertainty: "These people are all my daily needs. I can't bear them being abandoned by the master's family, so I bought them all and sent them to my dowry shop outside."
Those people cried in unison, "Ma'am, help me."
Jia Lian said, "But this won't work. Renyaozi has already agreed to deliver it to you today. I won't sell it to you." He ordered him to be taken away.
Mrs. Wang shouted, "You are so brave!"
Jia Lian chuckled and said, "Second Madam, you are really ignorant. Now that you have said it, it doesn't matter anymore." Then he waved his orders and pushed them away.
Mrs. Wang watched helplessly as all her confidants were crying loudly, her palms hurting from the squeezing, but there was nothing she could do. Among the others, there were some who were gloating about the misfortune, some who were glad that they were not on the wrong team, and some who had nothing to do with her and didn't care.
.When Jia Mu knew that the gang's prostitution money had already been put into the public account at a 30% discount, the remaining 30% naturally went into Jia Lian's own money box. Although Jia Mu knew that the big house was excluding dissidents, everyone had sold out.
There was nothing else to do, so she had to comfort Mrs. Wang. When the eldest girl became a noble, she could have another confidant.
But when Jia Cong came back and heard about it, he was quite emotional - if he didn't do anything, what would be the difference between Rongguo Mansion and these slaves in the future?
Just when Erfang was waiting for the imperial edict, the imperial edict finally came. Jia Lian was named a fourth-grade Chaosan doctor, and he still worked in the same post at the Ministry of Household Affairs on weekdays. Jia's mother and others thought that this was just a sign, and they showed kindness to Yuanchun's brother, and their hearts grew stronger.
He looked forward to it, but secretly lamented that Baoyu was too young, otherwise the favor would have been on him this time.
Pian Baoyu didn't realize it. After school that day, he passed by Mengpozhai's small study room to rest for a while. Because he was thirsty, he casually called someone outside to bring tea. After calling for a long time, a woman came in slowly from outside. Baoyu
Seeing that he disliked her for being unclean, he waved his hand and ordered her to go out, and then shouted: "Don't you have a cleaner little girl?"
That woman was under Sister Feng, and she was always a bit foolish. Recently, Mrs. Wang fell, and she believed that she could use her power to bully others. When she saw no one around, she cursed and gave Baoyu a long list of dishes to eat! Baoyu had never experienced this.
, was so anxious that he jumped up and cursed people, but was sarcastically said, "The second wife is really clean, the public accounts are almost moved to her private treasury" and so on. She suddenly felt ashamed and ran away without being insulted.
He thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't understand why his mother wanted to be greedy, so he walked around the house for a long time with no one to complain to, and finally approached Jia Cong.
Jia Cong happened to pick up his pen and wanted to practice calligraphy. Hearing this, he was dumbfounded: "Why? Brother Baoyu, does he know who owns all the money in this house?"
Baoyu was stunned and said: "Of course it belongs to the whole family."
Jia Cong grinned: "It's not wrong. The term "family" is too broad. The money in our house currently belongs to the eldest master and the second master - that is, my father and your father." Yin used it.
With a red look in his eyes, Xiu hurriedly led a room full of servants out and closed the door again. Jia Cong then continued, "One day our ancestors will go away, and our two houses will be divided. According to the imperial law, most of the money in this house will be
They belong to me, and very few of them belong to you - the eldest son deserves 70% or 80%? I can't remember, that's the law of the court. Of your very few, the big ones belong to Lan'er, and the small ones belong to me.
It's yours, because you and the second master are usually the second son. When our eldest family was separated, almost all of them belonged to the second brother Lian. I only got a small change. Huan'er also got a small change. How could we be raised by our aunt?
of."
He kindly stopped and waited for a while, and saw that Baoyu's eyes were straight, which showed that his cognition was subverted.
"So most of the money in this house belongs to Brother Lian, and some belongs to Lan'er. You also have very, very little, and Brother Huan and I basically don't. Otherwise, we two would work so hard at such a young age.
What is the purpose of studying and practicing martial arts? Is it not to make a living and earn a living in the future? You are a clean person, but also lazy. When you are an official, you find it troublesome and unclean to socialize. When you are in business, you find it troublesome and unclean to join the army. If you join the army, you
You don't have the strength to tie a chicken, and if the second wife doesn't help you find some money, will you be drinking from the northwest wind in the future, or will you be living in the autumn breeze at the house of Brother Lian or Lan'er every day?"
Baoyu was speechless after what he said.
After a long while, Jia Cong added: "Don't you think that because our ancestors like you, everything in this house belongs to you?"
Baoyu said: "Why do we need to separate the families? Isn't it good for everyone to be intimate and warm together?"
Jia Cong snorted: "You see, these days our master and your master and your wife are fighting like black-eyed chickens, making love?" Baoyu choked, and then said, "Of course you, who have no money, can expect to be rich.
Yes, the second master is also counting on this. Unfortunately, how can our master be willing to agree? The old lady can just pay it back on one day. She will return home one day, and both the second master and you will have to be kicked out. "
When Baoyu heard the words "rich man", his face turned red with shame. He always thought that he was born in a wealthy family, had no worries about food and clothing, and could stay in Rongguo Mansion for the rest of his life. He never thought that these were not his, but just a temporary loan.
My heart surged.
Jia Cong added: "In a word, we are very lucky. Our family can arrange to teach us how to read and write. Ordinary people can't afford a teacher. If there is nothing else, Brother Baoyu, I will practice calligraphy."
I will have less wealth than you in the future, and I don’t want to come to second brother Lian’s house every day to flatter second sister-in-law.” Then he turned around and went to practice calligraphy.
Usually his handwriting is not good; today, with Baoyu watching, he was extremely concentrated and actually wrote three points higher than usual. Baoyu stared blankly at him, a six-year-old child, who was writing every stroke seriously, and paused.
Feeling ashamed. After a long while, he suddenly asked: "Cong'er, do you know why Uncle Lin is angry?"
Jia Cong was startled: "Huh?"
Baoyu said: "You know. Everyone knows, but no one told me. You were perfunctory with me that day."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "Everyone knows it, just because everyone should know it. It's strange that you don't know it. Does anyone need to tell you that?"
Baoyu then saluted him without saying a word.
Jia Cong sighed and put down his pen: "My ancestors really love you, so they raised you and Sister Lin together. I hope that one day you will be in love for a long time and make Sister Lin like you, so that maybe she can
She fought tooth and nail to marry you, but Uncle Lin couldn't do anything to her, so he had no choice but to accept her offer."
Baoyu was still a little daydreaming at first, but when he heard it, he was shocked: "Uncle Lin, don't you want to agree?"
Jia Cong looked at him funny: "Why would Uncle Lin want to agree? You are poor and don't like to study. Why would he, a second-rank official who was born in the third rank, agree to marry his daughter to a second-rank official who was born in the fifth rank?
Son? My ancestors are looking for Sister Lin’s dowry for you! She also knows that you can’t support yourself, and she also knows that Uncle Lin looks down on you. She is raised in the same place as Sister Lin, and she and the second wife help you get rich.
The public account is the same."
There was a lot of content in these words, and Baoyu couldn't recover for a long time. "Uncle Lin doesn't want..." His face turned red, and for a long time, he couldn't help but say, "Sister Lin... marry, marry me?"
Jia Cong couldn't help but raise his forehead: "Uncle Lin wants to marry his daughter to you because he took the wrong medicine, okay? You need to be a good match for marriage, okay? You don't want to be a match at all, okay? Our ancestors are playing dirty tricks behind Uncle Lin's back, especially
I put you two together to ensure that some words can be spread out in the future to ruin Sister Lin's reputation and force Sister Lin to marry you! Do you know what "a table to eat and a bed to sleep" means? Because
She is the only daughter in Uncle Lin's family, and all the Lin family's property will be her dowry in the future. I'm afraid that one day she will pass away, and you will find the northwest wind to arrange a marriage for Sister Lin for you!"
Looking up, Baoyu turned into a Bodhisattva carved from clay and wood.
Jia Cong thought that sooner or later he would have to be given a stick, so why not just beat him to the end? Then he continued: "Also, I heard that you go to play with Xue's sister every day. I guess that is what the second wife meant? In fact, the second wife's heart is different from the other.
The old lady is the same, but she is looking for Sister Xue. People say that there is heavy snow in good years, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. They are talking about the Xue family, so rich and noble. Although Brother Xue is a bit of a bastard, he treats Xue
My sister is very good, and Sister Xue’s dowry must be large, and it can support you for the rest of your life. Brother Baoyu is so lucky, you have such big ideas, the old lady and the second wife have started to find a dowry for your wife."
At this moment, 123 Romance is leading Xiao, Xiang Lan, Xiang and Zi Guang. The three little ones put their ears to the door and eavesdropped outside. They couldn't help laughing when they heard the words. Only Hong Xiu was a serious person and sat on the porch.
Do needlework.
These words were all nonsense made by Jia Cong himself without any evidence. Pian Baoyu was an honest man and believed them all. He couldn't help but be struck by thunder several times and became stupid again.
Jia Cong then practiced calligraphy by himself and ignored him. After practicing, he saw that he was still in a daze, so he went outside to box again. He glanced at 123 Romance and the others, and 123 Romance and the others couldn't help laughing. After half a day, he finished playing, and when he came back, he would
Baoyu woke up: "Hey, wake up~~ It's time for you to go back to your ancestors' courtyard for dinner."
Baoyu suddenly cried "Wow".
There was no choice, Jia Cong had no choice but to stroke his back and coax: "Oh~~Brother Baoyu is so good~~It's pitiful that a six-year-old child has to coax his brother. In other families, the older brother coaxes his younger brother."
Baoyu was so embarrassed that he cried, so he had to wipe his tears.
Jia Cong felt that he was pitiful, and comforted him: "I can't rely on you. Our ancestors raised you as a two-year-old child. They thought it was for your own good not to tell you anything and let you live like a blind person." Lin
My uncle said you are a pity."
Baoyu immediately grabbed his arm: "What did Uncle Lin say about me?"
"He said it's a pity for you." Jia Cong said, "You are talented and smart. If you are good at life and make progress, you will have a good future. But your ancestors spoiled you like an ignorant child. You may hurt Zhongyong in the future. Say it cleanly.
, few people in the world are clean. Without him, people have no intention of hurting the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to the human heart. The Master said, repay evil with kindness, how can we repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness. People like Uncle Lin are probably the cleanest in the court.
Now he can work for officials and be clean at the same time, so why can't you? Whether he can do it clean or not is all in his heart."
He said this in a hurry, and I thought that Baoyu might not be able to hear it for a while. He never thought that Baoyu had been thinking about many things for the past half day, as if he couldn't find a way out, but this time he was like a bright light, and his eyes gradually brightened.
, resurrected with full health as if the account in the game was unfrozen. After standing there and thinking for a long time, Jia Cong was almost impatient. He suddenly bowed to the ground and left.
Jia Cong looked at him from behind and let out a long sigh: "It's good to be simple." He called people to eat.
It was just the twelfth lunar month, the weather was quite cold, and Jia Mu was angry every day, and soon fell ill. This was what Jia She was waiting for, so he had someone do some tricks in the medicine, and Jia Mu became even more seriously ill.
Some. Taking advantage of the few days when she was in a daze, Jia She had people blockade Jia Mu's yard, sell or release all her loyal old servants and their families, and drive them out of the house. He also transferred many people from the mansion in the south of the city.
The people Qin Keqing taught, who only recognized the eldest master, took important positions everywhere. Although Yuanyang and others knew about it, they did not dare to say it, for fear of aggravating Jia Mu's illness.
A few days later, more people came from the south side of the city. People in the mansion were either sold or let go, leaving only a few trusted confidants of the master of the big house. When Jia Mu finally recovered, she was already the only person in charge.
They didn't recognize each other or say anything. In addition to the girls and boys who served in each room, all the people in the house had been replaced by people from the big room. No one listened to Jia Mu's words anymore. She couldn't help feeling cold, feeling sad and angry.
For once, she calmed down. There were people everywhere, and it was not difficult to subdue a few people who wanted to inquire about the news. On the contrary, Baoyu was very filial these days, serving soup and medicine in front of her bed every day, and she heard that he had been studying hard recently.
It was so tight that I couldn't help but feel relieved. Only Yuanchun's future had been delayed, and I was secretly worried.
