This is the third time Wang Xifeng has come to visit her since she paid back the money she owed to the treasury.
The first two times she happened to go out to check the accounts, and Daiyu also went to the bookstore. She ran twice without seeing anyone, but this time she did bump into someone.
Jiusi glanced at Wang Xifeng's belly, then looked at her thick makeup. After a moment of silence, she whispered to Yue Yue and asked her to deal with the matter first, then returned to the house with Wang Xifeng.
I thought Wang Xifeng could detect something was wrong on her own, but looking at her current situation, even if she was feeling uncomfortable, she probably didn't even think about her happiness!
The two of them returned to the hall and sat down. Jiusi first asked someone to bring some refreshments, and then asked someone to go to Daiyu to inform him. Then he and Wang Xifeng started chatting.
Daiyu was reading in the house. When she heard that Sister Feng was coming, she asked in confusion: "Why did her father-in-law come at this time? Is there something wrong with the Jia family?"
The maid happily saw her asking, and quickly thought about it carefully, and found that the other party had not said what she meant, and then she respectfully replied: "I don't know what I said to the second girl. I just welcomed her into the house, and the eldest girl is in the hall.
I’m here to talk with you.”
After hearing this, Daiyu thought for a moment and then said slowly: "When you go back to sister, just tell me that the weather is hot. I may have suffered from heatstroke and am feeling a little unwell. It is inconvenient to see guests, so I won't go there yet."
After the other party tells me her intention, I will ask her to reply to me."
Hearing this happily, he bowed and bowed, said "yes" and then left.
After they left, Xue Yan asked aloud: "Girl, I'm afraid it's the old lady's intention that the second grandma is here. Is it appropriate for you not to go and see her?"
While turning the pages of the book, Daiyu said nonchalantly: "Whatever is suitable or not, my father said I would stay far away, so if I don't see them, what's the problem?"
Seeing that she was a little displeased, Xue Yan didn't dare to speak any more, so she shut up and stood aside, waiting for her instructions.
After Jiusi learned what Daiyu meant, she responded in a low voice, and then explained to Wang Xifeng with a smile: "That girl has become fond of landscape painting recently. She likes to go out and paint mountains and waters when she has nothing to do. She is probably too hot.
Already."
Wang Xifeng felt like a mirror in her heart, knowing that this was just an excuse, but she didn't say anything and said with a smile: "Thanks to you for taking good care of me. If you weren't in good health, how could you be running around like this?"
, it shows that you are careful."
When someone praised her, Jiusi naturally couldn't help but give her face. She also praised Sister Qiao with a smile. After some exchanges of greetings, the atmosphere actually relaxed a lot.
Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, Jiusi didn't mention what she was here for, so he had to ask first: "I don't know what the second sister-in-law is visiting this time, but what does the old lady say?"
Wang Xifeng was able to come here so many times regardless of her own situation and face. Without even thinking about it, she knew that it was related to the return of the money owed to the treasury.
Among the many families, the Lin family is one that doesn't borrow much, but all of them have borrowed more than 300,000 taels in total. And countless families like the Jia family will probably borrow even more.
Wang Xifeng knew her temperament, and it would be impossible to beat around the bush, so she directly stated the purpose of her visit: "To be honest with Sister Lin, I shouldn't have come to visit my sister-in-law this time. After all, your family just gave the old lady a house."
We are so filial, but if we talk to you again, it will appear that we are a bit greedy.
But there was really nothing we could do about it at home, so I had to make such a trip.
You also know the situation at home. There are so many people who want to eat and drink, and they also need to build a garden for the mother-in-law to visit her relatives. No matter how much money there is, it is not enough.
Now, your Lin family has taken the lead in repaying the money owed to the national treasury, and our Rongning family has to follow suit, not for anything else but for the sake of the face of your Lin family.
But the family is already in dire straits, and the treasury owes so much money. We need to pay it back all at once, and we don’t have enough money to pay it back.
The old lady thought about it for a long time and felt that our two families are really close and cannot be compared with other families.
Moreover, Uncle Lin is also filial. If there are real difficulties at home, you will help even if others don't help. So I thought I would ask you if the government can transfer some more money to help the family first.
urgent?"
After saying that, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, he explained hurriedly: "Of course, this money is not for nothing. I will let you know when the queen comes to visit me.
If you have enough money at home, don't delay, I will send the money to you immediately, and I will ensure that you will not suffer any loss."
After Jiusi heard this, he sneered in his heart.
It is said that they have to pay back the money for the sake of their family's face, just like if it is not for the sake of their family's face, they don't need to pay back the money.
The emperor has made this matter clear, and other families have also paid back the money. Do you, the Rongning House, dare to pay it back?
Not to mention Jia Yuanchun as a concubine, even if Jia Daishan was alive, she would still have to go around without food.
She also said that she would not let her family suffer, but she had been saying it for so long, but she didn't say a word of truth. It was all lies and lies to deceive her.
Moreover, she only said that the money would be used, but she did not say how much it would cost. If she agreed to this, how much would the Jia family ask for?
Besides, who owes the most money to the treasury?
The Jia family is definitely one to count.
If you dare not pay back so much money, the emperor may have to confiscate your Jia family before the wedding ceremony in Yuanchun.
When Jia Daishan was there, the Jia family's situation was indeed good, but they also borrowed a lot of money from the treasury for many reasons, but they were able to pay it back at that time.
But after Jia Daishan disappeared and Jia Mu took charge of the family, the Jia family was completely in decline. The money from the national treasury was borrowed more and more, and now it has exceeded the range they can bear.
Jiusi made a rough estimate in his mind and found that the Jia family owed at least eight to nine hundred thousand taels to the treasury. If they really paid back the money owed to the treasury, the family would probably be completely wiped out.
Besides, their family still has an unfinished Grand View Garden. If the Lin family really dares to help them, all the Lin family's belongings will be taken in.
However, Jiusi did not expressly disagree, but declined her on the grounds that her words were useless: "Sister-in-law also knows that although I am in charge of the Lin family, I am just a housekeeper's concubine. These things...
, you have to ask Daiyu and her father what they mean.
Well, I see that my sister-in-law doesn't look very well, so why don't I go back and rest first, and after I write to ask my father's intention and discuss it with Daiyu, I can send someone to deliver the message to you."
Of course Wang Xifeng knew that it didn't make sense, but she didn't bother with her too much. She smiled and said, "I understand my sister's difficulty. It's because my sister-in-law didn't think well.
If this is the case, then I will go back to the old lady first. When there is news from my sister, I will come over and invite my sister to listen to music and watch the opera.
It just so happens that my family has recently invited an actor from another place for my queen, and I want her to watch the fun, but I don’t know if she will like it, and you are a frequent visitor to the palace, so I think you can give me some good advice."
I've been busy with things recently, and I feel very depressed. It's not good to comment. I really don't have the heart to type. Please let me calm down. Otherwise, my mind will be in chaos and I won't know what I will write in the end.
