Chapter 48

86_86438 It is said that the Rongguo Mansion finally returned the 800,000 taels of silver owed to the treasury. After Jia She returned to the house, he found out that Jia Zheng had done it behind his back, and he kept fussing for a long time. After reading at midnight, Jia Zheng knew that something was wrong first, and then

She didn't really take advantage of her, so she was a bit sarcastic. Jia's mother had to come out to appease her, said many nice words, and asked Jia Zheng to apologize. Jia Zheng thought, he could bear it for a while, and when his daughter was made a noble concubine, the whole family would still be in trouble.

Don't you want to rely entirely on her? So he bowed to him seriously. Jia She sneered twice: "My second son is really a scholar." Then he walked away.

When he returned to the house, he saw his two sons waiting eagerly and hummed: "What are you waiting for?"

Jia Cong spoke quickly and said, "Wait to hear whether I have learned from my second uncle how to behave cheaply."

Jia She couldn't help laughing because he asked Jia Lian about his passing today. Jia Lian was very proud, starting from when Lao Fu and he bowed to him, and when he said "snuck out through the south corner door", the three of them laughed in unison.

Jia Sheyin said: "Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will use this opportunity to release or sell those slaves who are most greedy for ink so as not to waste the reward money."

Jia Lian hesitated and said: "There are all well-known people from our family there, and there are a lot of old ladies."

Jia She suddenly looked serious and said: "Deal with the second wife's people first, and the old lady's people will be dealt with later. I have my own plan."

Jia Lian said: "The second wife's people may have to testify for the second wife in a few days."

Jia She frowned and said: "What kind of proof is this? Isn't the account book the proof? Now that she only thinks that her daughter will be a queen, how dare she tear her apart and ruin her reputation?"

Jia Lian said: "It's just a precaution, just to be cautious. It doesn't matter if you delay him for a few months. Besides, Renyazi is celebrating the New Year now."

Jia She gave up and just told him not to forget.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I'll just forget about it. Who would forget about this?"

Jia Cong asked hurriedly: "Are all those slaves who are greedy for ink to be sent out? I heard from Mr. Gong that only 23 out of 10 are clean, so don't we need many fewer people in our house? The old lady loves to show off."

Jia She sneered and said: "How many people do our masters have? Why do we need so many waiters? I don't have anyone to wait on me at the house in the south of the city. Besides, there are many people in Touzhuangzi. If there are not enough, we will buy others."

This is what Jia Cong was waiting for, so he said: "Then why don't you choose or buy them first, and put them in the big house in the south of the city to learn the rules first?" He winked, "Since I bought it, the rules are naturally

The master will decide."

Jia She was startled.

Jia Cong went on to say: "The remaining twenty-three percent may not want to be greedy and steal, but I'm afraid they can't."

Jia She couldn't help but high-five. Yes, there really weren't many people in this mansion that he could trust. Those who wanted to please and laugh at him were just looking at how powerful he was these days. If there was any trouble, he would immediately switch sides. He nodded repeatedly.

: "You are right, all the servants in this mansion should be replaced."

The matter was settled, and the next day Jia She went to the Escort Bureau to discuss it with Gong Sanyi, and Gong Sanyi also agreed that "it's true."

Jia She said sadly: "It's just that no one took action about this matter."

Gong San also thought about Huizi and said, "Don't worry about Enhou. There is a very suitable candidate. It's just that it's not convenient to talk about Huizi now. Let's wait until after the new year."

Jia She was surprised: "We have so many people here who rob bodyguards and become kings. Where can we choose those who can teach the servants of wealthy families?"

Gong Sanyi smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, we will know when the time comes."

Jia She continued to question him for half a day, but he just wanted to show off.

The New Year is coming soon, and although the Rongguo Mansion is not as lively as before, it invites some opera and wine for a few days to have a show with Jia Mu. Because Jia Lian preaches everywhere that returning the money to the treasury is Jia Zheng's intention, and the excerpt is indeed true.

Even the money to be delivered that day was done by him when Jia She was away and he was not around. The four princes and other relatives who were also big debtors to the treasury all looked at him with suspicion. They either ridiculed or denounced each other.

Zheng was extremely depressed for a while, looking forward to his daughter becoming a noble man day and night.

The three auspicious treasures went to pay Lin Hai New Year greetings again and got three big red envelopes. Jia Cong thought about the original work. Lin Hai was about to donate to Yangzhou City at this time, but now he is getting more energetic day by day, and he is secretly proud.

When Daiyu came to Jia's house with her father to pay New Year's greetings, Xichun, under Jia Cong's trust, pulled Daiyu to sit between him and Yingchun before Baoyu could. Baoyu had no choice but to watch. Daiyu and her sisters had not seen each other for a long time.

, had a lot to say, so he couldn't care about him anymore. After a while, Jia Zheng asked someone to call him out again, but Baoyu didn't come near Daiyu all day, and he screamed and stamped his feet in anger.

After the Lantern Festival, Gong Sanyi told Jia She that the man who taught the servants in their house would be coming tomorrow. Would he like to meet him? How could Jia She not see him? He went to the big house in the south of the city early the next day to wait for Jia Cong Lai.

Lai Xing followed.

After sitting for a while, a child ran in from outside and shouted: "A fairy-like sister got out of the carriage!" The two of them became more and more curious. Jia She had to endure it, but Jia Cong couldn't sit still and ran out.

When he arrived at the door, he saw a woman wearing a cyan cloak and a scarf on her head walking towards her. Her face was Qin Keqing! She couldn't help but blurt out: "Brother Rong's wife!"

Jia She was shocked when he heard this and asked Gong Sanyi what was going on.

Gong San also said with a smile: "I heard that she was in charge of everything in your Dongfu back then. I think she is qualified for this job."

Jia She asked: "Isn't she a monk?"

"Can't I return to secular life?"

It turned out that Gong Sanyi had been thinking about it for a long time, and Qin Keqing was the only one responsible for this matter, so he sent people to the nunnery where she had left her hair to inquire about it. He learned that in addition to Qin Zhong who often visited her, Jia Rong also occasionally disturbed her; Qin Keqing always saw Qin Keqing.

Zhong, but never saw Jia Rong, so we knew that this girl had no Buddha mind at all. So she broke into the nunnery and found her in the backyard where Qin Keqing swept the snow every day. He said bluntly, "I pretended to be a Taoist priest that day to coax Ning Guofu."

Uncle Jane."

After Qin Keqing was a little surprised, he clasped his hands to thank him.

Gong San also stroked his beard and nodded, and then recounted what Jia Cong had said that day, because he said: "You can't escape from his grasp unless you leave that door. You can never hide secrets in your house, no matter what you think

Your mother-in-law may not be willing to agree to live in shame."

Qin Keqing sighed: "It was the child who came to the rescue." He said, "My mother-in-law has a lot of gloom in her belly because I have always been so popular."

Gong Sanyi then asked her if she could teach some servants for the Rongguo Mansion. Qin Keqing smiled sadly and said: "How can a poor nun enter the secular world?"

Gong Sanyi smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to handle. Tomorrow you just tell the master of your nunnery that Jia Rong often disturbs your spiritual practice, which makes it difficult for you to break away from the worldly world. It is better to go to another place to practice."

Qin Keqing hesitated for a while: "Master treats the poor nun very well and cannot bear to bully her."

Gong San also asked: "Why did you deceive her? It's true that Jia Rong disturbed your pure cultivation, and it's true that it made it difficult for you to break away from the worldly world. I think you really have no connection with Buddhism, why do you insist on living here? Besides practicing Buddhism, chanting sutras

Eating vegetarian food is just your skin, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue are your bones and muscles. If you are blessed in the future, wouldn't it be better to help those in need and help those in need than to hide in this nunnery and recite sutras without any intention?"

Qin Keqing was originally a young woman, and after enjoying the high status in Ningguo Mansion for several years, she was forced to become a monk. How could she really be willing to do so? Hearing this, she couldn't help but be moved, and asked: "So what if I just go to the nunnery next to her?"

Gong San also said with a smile: "I will know tomorrow." He left because he grabbed the wall.

The next day, Qin Keqing asked the nunnery master to practice elsewhere to avoid Jia Rong. The nunnery master thought: "I see that you have never been calm in the past few days since you came here. If it weren't for the Ningguo Mansion, you would have been secularized long ago. This is so bad.

It's also a way." I just couldn't think of a good place to send her.

But at this moment, a sister-in-law came outside to report: "Master Jingyuan of Zhenwu'an is here." He couldn't help but said happily, "We have a place to go." He said to Qin Keqing, "Zhenwu'an is in a secluded place in the south of the city. It is a rare place.

Although the carriages and horses are a bit poorer, they have their own property in the nunnery, so they can live quite well."

Qin Keqing hurriedly folded his hands and thanked him.

When Master Jingyuan arrived, the three of them agreed on the matter. The next day, Qin Keqing took advantage of the heavy snowfall, dressed in Ziyi and bamboo hats, and left the nunnery where Laofa came.

Jiu returned home for her, and the Qin family had a reunion year.

After hearing this, Mr. Jia She and Mr. Jia Cong were stunned, and Jia Cong murmured: "Yes, it can still be like this..." Haven't Li Zhi and Li Longji used it?

Gong San also looked at him with a smile and said to Jia She, "Why don't my boss temporarily hire Mr. Qin as a tutor to teach the servants in your house? What do you think?"

Jia She nodded repeatedly: "Excellent, very appropriate. But will Brother Zhen look for her?"

Gong San also waved his hand and said: "He thinks Madam Qin is his white tiger, and she can't hide. As for Jia Rong, he just found Zhenwu Nunnery and said he didn't see any guests." At this moment, Jia She and Jia Cong all guessed.

When they realized that Zhenmuan was the territory of Prince Yohitada, they just buried it in their stomachs and said nothing.

Qin Keqing then thanked Jia Cong for his help, and Jia Cong hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with me. It was Mr. Gong who did it. I just talked about it."

Qin Keqing sighed: "It's so rare that you have the heart to help the world at such a young age."

Jia Cong could only lower his head and curl his lips - he really just said it casually.

With Qin Keqing, everything is easier to handle. While Jia She urged the accountant to check the accounts carefully, he also sent people who could find useful items from the village below to the mansion in the south of the city for selection. Sometimes he also went to the market to pick out some good ones.

Everyone called Mrs. Qin "Ms. Qin", saying she was hired to teach her. To avoid gossip, she temporarily wore a wig.

After some time, the accounts were checked and it was found that Mrs. Wang had embezzled 1,233,830 taels from the public account.

Jia She sent a large number of people to Jia Zheng's study with account books to ask for the accounts. Jia Zheng was chatting with the Qing guests, who were in great embarrassment. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing guests hurriedly slipped out. Jia She stabbed Bala.

She sat down on his chair and spread the account book on his table: "Pay back the money."

Jia Zheng said angrily: "Don't bully others too much! All the money from the treasury years ago was paid back by our house."

Jia She nodded: "After excluding the eight hundred thousand taels, there are still 43,830 taels."

Jia Zhengdao: "Not that many!"

Jia She pursed his lips and said, "The account book is here, take a look at it yourself."

How could Jia Zheng understand the accounting book? He had to send it to Mrs. Wang to read.

Mrs. Wang refused at first sight. It turned out that they valued all of Mrs. Wang's greedy items according to the most expensive ones on the market. Many of these were given to her as gifts and were not converted into money. She secretly took the public property.

The same goes for selling it at a low price under his own name. The highest estimate is not included, and the annual output that should have been calculated based on the maximum estimate is also included. Li Fanlian originally wanted to include the interest over the years, but Jia Lian said, "

Forget it, we don’t have a lot of money and it still makes us look stingy.” That’s all.

Mrs. Wang sent people outside to discuss matters with Jia She. Jia She said curiously: "Lian'er has kindly waived your interest, but you're still not satisfied? Do you know that you can't exchange those things with silver? Since you don't want to,

If you give me the money, then I can restore the items back."

By this time, Jia's mother had already arrived and was trying to persuade Jia She to consider it for the sake of the family. The second room had the 800,000 taels, so just give up. Jia She is not short of the 400,000 taels now. It's just Jia She.

The more his mother favored the second wife, the more he refused, because he sneered and said: "Since the second wife thinks our valuation is inappropriate, she will either restore the property or go to court."

Jia Mu was furious: "How dare you!"

Jia She was surprised: "Someone stole my things. Now that the thief has caught the evidence and found out the evidence, why don't I dare to file a complaint?"

Jia Mu picked up the crutch and hit him on the head.

Jia She has not been the same in the past few years, and his body has been recuperated. He often practices boxing and kicking with Jia Si and Wu Baozi. How can he hit him? He jumped out of the way. The crutch hit the chair hard, and the sound was like gold and jade. Jia She

She couldn't help feeling cold and gritted her teeth and said, "Is the old lady planning to beat me to death?"

Jia Mu pointed at him and said: "You rebellious beast! Why did I give birth to you? You didn't care when there was a traitor in the family, and you only focused on dealing with your own brother!"

Jia She did not retort, but stood there looking at her coldly without saying a word. For a long time, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel a little timid, and forced her crutches to stand on the ground: "You still want to kill your own mother!

?”

Jia She sneered: "No need." Yin turned around and ordered, "Let the accountant recalculate the accounts and calculate them according to the interest of Sitong Bank." Then he looked at Jia Zhengdao, "Now we have nothing to bargain with, this lawsuit is over.

In the Jinluan Palace, there is no shortage of silver." He shook his sleeves and left.

Jia Mu was anxious: "You can't force my old lady to death!"

Jia She paused and said solemnly: "Whether the old lady wants to cry, make trouble, or hang herself, or sue me for disobedience, this corruption case must be fought. We'll see you in court." He never looked back.

Left immediately.

As soon as he left, Jia Mu realized that she had done something wrong and pushed him into a hurry. Jia Zheng hurriedly asked her what she should do. Jia Mu thought for a while: "You couldn't come up with the money. He

Can I still drive you out of the house?"

Jia Zheng understood that this was going to be delayed and nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, Jia She angrily returned to the house and cursed loudly: "As expected, the old Qianpo really wants me to endure it."

Jia Lian and Jia Cong hurriedly came up to coax him, one beat his shoulders and the other hugged his arms, saying: "Master, don't be angry, haven't you guessed it a long time ago?"

Jia She gritted his teeth: "It would be so clean if I strangled her to death the day she gave birth!"

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "It can't be done! Aren't my brothers, sisters and I gone? The world is missing three good people. God cannot agree to this."

Jia She couldn't help but want to laugh, and sighed falsely: "That's all, for you guys, I'd better stay alive."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked: "What happened in the end?"

Jia She hummed, "I'll ask the accountant to recalculate the interest."

Jia Lian said: "I'm afraid they will refuse to pay it back."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. My second uncle wants face the most. Face is more important than money. It is very easy to deal with people who want face." Because he muttered something in a low voice, Jia She and Jia Lian burst into laughter.

, Jia Lian pointed at him and was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, Jia Lian said again: "Just like this, will the old lady be so anxious that she will seriously accuse the master of disobedience?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Second brother is over-worrying. Now that the evidence in the master's hand is complete, she only dares to threaten the master, and does not dare to really force him. Otherwise, the eldest sister in the palace will be hurt. They also stretched their necks.

I'm waiting for my eldest sister to become the empress!" The three of them laughed again.

The next day, a large piece of paper was posted on the door of the accounting room, with three lines of large characters at the top:

The second house owes money to the public account

Four hundred and three thousand, eight hundred and thirty taels

Interest to be calculated

Every time someone from the second house comes to collect money, they don't give any money, and the corresponding number is deducted from the paper on the spot. Whether it is the monthly money of Jia Zhengwang's wife, Jia Baoyu, or the monthly money of the servants in their house, or whether it is the monthly money of Jia Zhengqing.

The guest's flattery money is still the tea and snack money that Baoyu went to learn...
