86_86438 It was said that Jia She posted the amount of money owed by the second room on the door of the accounting room and deducted all the expenses of the second room. Jia’s mother was angry and anxious. Reading at midnight, she only realized now that the first room was serious this time.
I was about to break up. After thinking about it, I first sent Yuanyang to find out the news from Ping'er.
Yuanyang arrived at Jia Lian's yard and saw Sister Feng talking to several housekeepers. Ping'er was standing by, so she waved quietly. Ping'er and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and walked out. He led Yuanyang to a quiet place and said
: "You are a sensible person, so I won't beat around the bush. Our master and the second master have always loved money as much as their lives. Just pay back the rest. How can there be any room for discussion about the word money? I'm afraid that even a penny less will cost you everything."
It won’t work.”
Yuanyang said: "It's just that how can the second wife get so much money now? She just paid back 800,000 yuan to the national treasury two years ago. Besides, many of the big men here have actually calculated. For example, since the money for selling Zhuangzi's shop has been calculated, what's the matter?"
Can it still be counted as the interest paid?"
Ping'er's beautiful eyes gave her a gentle look, and Yuanyang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. But he heard her say: "Why don't you even understand this? There isn't much reason to talk about here, it's just that the master is upset and won't let it go.
He won't be able to pay it back if the second wife comes up with that little money. Borrowing money also has interest, right? After all, the second master is a face-conscious man, and he doesn't dare to go to court. To say the least, even if he goes to court, it's still wrong.
But it's just a way to get rid of some extra calculations, and it's not much. The second wife still has to pay back the money, and by the way, he lost all his face to the whole capital, I'm afraid that the second master will not be able to see him in the court in the future.
people."
Yuanyang couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother? Do you really want brothers to fight against each other?"
Ping'er chuckled and said: "As long as the second wife repays the money, there is no need for the brothers to fight against each other. Don't say she doesn't have it, she just refuses to take it. So many profitable properties in the house were sold to her for only three or four tenths of the price.
, what a black heart. Her private property is probably no less than that of the old lady. Besides, her biological sister lives in Lixiangyuan."
Yuanyang thought for a while and said: "Those who can't come up with money for a while, you have to give the second wife some time to raise money, right?"
Ping'er added: "There is another way to calculate it. She can just calculate back the original price of all the public property that was stolen that day, and just treat it as a different place to keep accounts."
Yuanyangyin asked: "What about the output in the past few years?"
Ping'er looked at her with a smile: "What do you think?"
Yuanyang suddenly felt that the question he just asked was a bit silly, lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked again: "Maybe you can take down that thing at the door of the tent first?"
Ping'er smiled coolly: "Even if the old lady tears it up right away, I guarantee you can stick two pieces on it tomorrow, and if you tear it off again, you can stick it to the gate. If you tear this face apart, no one will want it.
"
This meant there was no discussion. Yuanyang thanked her and went back to Jia Mu.
When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed: "That's all, it's her own fault. If she hadn't been so greedy, she wouldn't have angered the boss." She asked Yuanyang to convey these words to Mrs. Wang in a precise manner.
Mrs. Wang's eyes turned dark when she heard this. But now she really couldn't get so much cash, and she couldn't bear to part with such a good property. She had to go to Aunt Xue again to plead with her nose and tears. Aunt Xue saw her
The situation was getting worse day by day. He had lent her so much money a year ago, but she did not dare to borrow it again for a while, because her livelihood was difficult now and she had no money left. Mrs. Wang had no choice but to send her treasures and jade to hunt for treasure hairpins every day.
Baoyu really has no other place to go now, but he is quite willing.
Two days later, Jia's mother invited the two brothers from the Shi family and told them one by one what Jia She had done. The brothers from the Shi family burst out laughing and said "interesting". Jia's mother was anxious, wiping her tears and said, "Where is this?"
To treat a brother like this? You two are his uncles, please talk to him quickly."
Shi Nai said with a fake smile: "What did he do? There is no reason in the world not to pay back money. Since he has money to pay back the treasury, he should also have money to pay back the public accounts. Isn't that the same thing?"
Shi Ding also said: "The method of enhou is really good. In the past, I only thought that Zhou Zhou was thin-skinned, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."
Jia's mother was speechless. The Shi family owed no less treasury money than the Jia family. I heard that the former sage praised the Rongguo government for being honest and trustworthy and taking care of the country's worries. This matter was another setback in Jia's political affairs. Thinking about it now
All the old relatives were a little unhappy and couldn't help but sigh. Yin said: "There is a reason why Zheng'er returned the money to the treasury." Yin whispered, "Our eldest daughter is still in the palace."
Not wanting her two brothers to remain unmoved after hearing this, Shi Nai rolled his eyes and said, "I just close my eyes and seek my own benefits, and I don't care about my relatives at all. Even if his daughter becomes the mother-in-law, we won't get a lot of glory."
"
Shi Ding added: "Sister, there is no need to say good things for him. Now that he has done this, we can't just pretend it never happened. Do you know that people from the Ministry of Revenue come to your door every day to disturb you? I don't think so.
I have never been so depressed in this year."
Jia Mu still wanted to persuade her, but when she saw the two of them laughing and talking about going to find Jia She later and chatting about antique fans, she couldn't help sighing, hoping that the palace would issue an order as soon as possible. After coming out of Jia Mu's place, the two uncles actually went to Jia She seriously.
I sat in the garden for half a day.
Jia Cong saw that after more than ten days, the monthly payment had already been deducted once, and there was no movement from the second room. He could bear it, so he just added some firewood.
That day, Baoyu finished school and went to Li Wan's courtyard to play with his sisters. Passing by the west flower wall, he could vaguely see two girls standing there, and he hurriedly went over to talk to them.
As soon as I got closer, I heard someone say: "The second master and second wife really endure it. After so many days, they don't even have any dignity left."
Another said: "I heard that Mr. Bao was not even given his monthly allowance."
The one in front said: "What are you afraid of, Mr. Bao? Anyway, the old lady gave him some private money. The third girl is pitiful. She didn't have much money to begin with, and now she can only drink the northwest wind."
Baoyu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Has something happened to the master and his wife?"
The two girls were startled. When they turned around and saw him, they hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Please don't tell the second master. The old lady has said it. Anyone who dares to tell the second master will be beaten to death immediately."
Baoyu waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't tell anyone. Tell me, what happened?"
The two girls looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. Baoyu became anxious and cupped his hands and said: "I beg you two sisters, why can't you tell me? What happened to the third girl?"
The man in front then bravely said: "The accountant inspected the accounts years ago and found out that the second wife embezzled hundreds of thousands of money in the public accounts when she was the head of the family in the early years. Now the eldest master forced her to pay back the money and posted the amount on the door of the accountant.
It will be deducted from the expenses of the second house and the first house. Now the monthly money of everyone in the second house, starting from the second master and his wife, including the third girl, the third master, and all the maids and boys, will be deducted to pay off the debt. The second master’s
The monthly money is given to you by the old lady from her own monthly money."
Baoyu was immediately stunned and stood there as motionless as a clay sculpture. The two girls quickly disappeared like a whirlwind.
After a while, Baoyu woke up and ran to the accounting room. Sure enough, he saw a large white paper posted at the door with clear black and white characters, and his face turned red. Everyone in the accounting room was shocked when they saw him: "Who told Mr. Bao so much?"
Baoyu was so ashamed that she didn't even bother to hide her face, so she turned around and ran away.
Since he didn't come back after the usual time to go back to the house, and he was not at Li Wan's place, Xi Ren and others looked for him everywhere. After half a day, they saw him sitting under a wintersweet tree with his hands on his knees, dazed, and he was so frightened that he asked again.
Shake again.
Baoyu suddenly stood up. When Xiren asked him what was wrong, Baoyu went straight to Mrs. Wang without saying a word.
Mrs. Wang was so worried that her eyebrows were squeezed together. When she saw him, she hurriedly called to her side and said with a smile: "My son, come quickly!"
When Baoyu came to her, he knelt on his knees and said with tears: "If Madam is in trouble, I still have some valuable gold and jade vessels, which can be exchanged for some silver. No matter what, this broken stone is probably worth two silvers."
.”
Mrs. Wang was startled: "Baoyu, what's wrong with you?"
Baoyu said: "I passed by the counting house today and saw them all."
Mrs. Wang suddenly felt like thunder was hitting her, she couldn't help hugging him and crying: "Your uncle is so cruel, he is trying to push us mothers to death!"
Baoyu also cried: "It is only natural to pay back debts. Please beg my wife to pay them back."
Mrs. Wang hugged him and cried hard, venting out all the sorrows of the past few days. Mother and son burst into tears. For a long time, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, rubbed him and said, "My son, it has nothing to do with you.
, you go and play." Then he sent him back to the house and went to find Aunt Xue.
When Baoyu went back, he quickly packed up many valuable things and ordered the attackers to take them to the second wife's room. The attacker guessed that he knew about it and advised: "There is an old lady here who has nothing to do with the second master. Besides these things
Where can my wife collect it?"
Baoyu laughed miserably: "Sure enough, you all know."
Xiren hurriedly said: "My ancestors are also doing it for the good of the second master. I am afraid that you will miss your studies if you know about it."
Baoyu mocked and said, "What's the use of studying? It can't help relieve the family's worries." Because he was lying on the kang depressed, Xiren and others had no choice but to coax him with words he liked, but he couldn't listen.
When Baoyu returned to Jia Mu's place to have dinner with her, she was shocked to see him crying like a peach in the eyes, and asked what happened. Baoyu only said that he had shed a few tears with his wife.
Jia Mu knew that he knew and was furious. She ordered someone to find out who had told Baoyu. How could Baoyu find out if Baoyu didn't tell him? Besides, the two girls were not from Rongguo Mansion, but Yao'er's sister.
An Niang and Wu You's sister Xiaoxi.
Helpless, Jia Mu sent Yuanyang over to Mrs. Wang and said: "Now even Baoyu knows about it. If it is spread out, I am afraid it will damage the important affairs of the palace." She also gave her one hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Mrs. Wang thanked her very much.
.
Because she couldn't raise any money at the moment, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to follow Dafang's wishes and rebate the Gongzhong property that had been sold to her name at a low price in the past years at the original price;
Fugui, if this failed, would give the treasure hairpin to Baoyu as compensation, and borrowed 100,000 taels from Aunt Xue, and put together the amount to pay back. The interest calculated later made her give up.
Jia She immediately ordered people to enter the public account, and ordered the monthly payment of the second house to be paid quickly, and to mobilize personnel from Gong Sanyi and Qin Keqing, the mansion in the south of the city, to take over various properties. Now he can cover the outside world with one hand, and Mrs. Wang is beyond the reach of Jia She.
Government is not an ordinary thing, Jia's mother was kept in the dark, but she was safe and sound without any problems.
He also asked Jia Zheng to provide the money for supporting the Qing guest himself. Jia Zheng naturally refused to agree and immediately came to him to argue. Jia She said lazily: "It would be fine if the money for supporting the Qing guest comes from the public account.
It’s just that the money for the escort agency and horse racing company where I support my old soldiers also needs to come from here.”
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What if there is a profit?"
Jia She said: "Of course he is included in the public list."
Jia Zheng then understood that these two items of his were probably losing money, so he went back to discuss with Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang thought about it, if the money for these purges was not paid out of the public account, it would naturally come from the second house. How can the second house afford these money now? She said: "Ma's business is a small business that doesn't make much money. The boss's
The Escort Agency is just a new one, so I’m afraid it will take some time before it can become a success. Even if there is no profit now, there will be no profit sooner or later? Master, I agree."
Jia Zheng indeed agreed.
Jia She then ordered Sister Jia Lianfeng to report all the expenses he had incurred outside to the public account.
Sister Feng couldn't help having a headache, and complained to Jia Lian: "It's so easy for the second wife to return the money and property. She thought the father-in-law would be able to relax more quickly, but the master has done this again. Now it is tighter than before. Unexpectedly, next month
Where does your monthly payment come from?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "There's no rush, let's focus on the two businesses outside, Master. We will have our own way next month."
Sister Feng glanced at him a few times: "What are you hiding from me?"
Jia Lian went to the kang and said lazily: "My good second grandma! Don't worry, the days of majesty are still to come."
Sister Feng sighed: "That's all. After this year, I have already recited Buddha's name, so let's worry about other things." Then she didn't care.
Not long after this incident was spread, the saint laughed loudly when he heard the words: "This Jia She is actually a stupid young man! Now I am afraid that their two houses will never be together again." Seeing Situ Pan's face full of thought, he asked,
"What are you thinking about?"
Situ Pan said: "Can we follow suit? Also post it in front of the court or in the lobby of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
The saint waved his hands repeatedly: "That's unreasonable. That Jia Enhou is a fool. He has no rules and no regard for dignity."
Situ Pan smiled bitterly and said: "It's about respect again. Third brother, sometimes face and inner content can only be the same..." Seeing that he was not moved at all, he could only sigh inwardly...
