Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 308
Suddenly it was decided that according to Jia's mother's instructions, Jia Wang cashed 30 taels of silver notes from the public account, plus the 1 taels of gold notes that Jia's mother took out, making a total of 4 taels of gold notes. In hand (1 taels of gold equals 10 taels of silver).

After that, she moved all the valuable things out of the warehouse, not to anywhere else, but to the Xue family's pawn shop.

It was only at this time that the Xue family knew about the branch of the Jia family and the sudden need to pay back the 50 taels of silver owed to the saint.

Xue Wangshi was so startled that her eyes almost popped out: "Sister, is what you said just now true?"

Prince Jia sighed: "Isn't that true? The eldest master of the Dongfu suddenly said that he wanted to divide the clans, and we were all confused. No, just a few days after the clans were divided, Liang Jiugong came to the palace and said that the emperor wanted to be honored. The government still owed money, so the old lady asked me to pack up all the family property and come out to pay off the debt. I have been here for almost 20 years, but I have never heard of any debt! Besides, even if it is the emperor's will, I cannot disobey it. , but this family still has to live, right? The family has a big business, which one does not cost money? Kuang Liang Jiugong also said that Rongguo Mansion should now be renamed First-class General Mansion, and there are many places that are unreasonable and need to be Make rectifications, otherwise it will be suspected of arrogance. Our house has just been divided into sects, the ancestral hall has not been built yet, and there are all the renovations and decorations, which one does not require money? Now that this is the case, what can Gongzhong do? The amount of silver used is only 2 taels, where is enough? So, didn’t I take out all the more valuable things at home? This is really... ugh..."

To be honest, having to pawn things to support a family's livelihood is a great shame for a family like Rongguofu.

Mrs. Xue Wang has always cherished her sister. Although she knew that her sister's code of conduct had deviated, this time, she felt that she had to help her sister, not just because of sisterly love, but because of Wang Xue Shi knew in his heart that Rongguo Mansion was really in trouble.

"Sister, don't be in a hurry. I will have people appraise the value of the twenty or so things you brought over today, and they will definitely be higher than the market price. Manrong, go and invite the big cabinet yourself. , Tell him to look at these things and quote me a price."

Here Xue Wang chatted with Jia Wang while waiting for the result of the valuation.Because it was something ordered by Mrs. Xue Wang, and Man Rong, the most capable maidservant around her, came to invite her in person, how could the big cabinet dare to delay?He gave the price as quickly as possible, a total of 24 taels of silver!

It's not because there are many things, but because there is a small blue and white round bottle from the Yuan Dynasty.It looks inconspicuous, small and exquisite, but just this one is worth 10 taels of silver!
Xue Wang didn't say much, and asked someone to take 24 taels of silver to Jia Wang, and also gave these pawn tickets to Jia Wang.

"Sister, you need to use the money first. As for the things, I will keep them for you. No matter how long it takes, I will never ask anyone to sell them. If you want to find them one day, just come here with a pawn ticket. That's it."

Jia Wang said with a smile: "I always knew you were fast, so I only came to the Xue family's pawn shop. To be honest, I was afraid that people outside would laugh at our Rongguo Mansion for falling into such a state... Sigh... Who can tell you?" Come to think of it, I just took over Zhongfeng here, and I thought I could leave some money for my pearls and jade, who would have thought, who would have thought!"

Mrs. Xue Wang was stunned for a while, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. It turned out that she was worried that her personal pockets were not full?

Mrs. Xue Wang sighed, and ordered someone to take out 1 taels of silver notes and give them to Mrs. Jia Wang: "Sister, you take this. If it doesn't go to the open account, it can be regarded as the daughter-in-law book I saved for my two nephews. Don't let others know, just keep it carefully."

When Jia Wangshi saw the bank note, his eyes were already lit up, but he still pretended to refuse: "This...how can you be so mean? I'm just talking, Rongguo Mansion can treat you badly." Is the young master who was born in the first place a success?"

Seeing her expression, Wang Xue knew what she was thinking in her heart. There was a trace of undetectable disdain in her eyes, but she said in her mouth: "What's wrong with sister? This is just a secret between us sisters. I Even the master doesn’t know about this silver, you just keep it, it’s my aunt’s wish. But, I only have this little money in my hand, I’ll give it all to you, in the future when you have money in your hand, everything will be hard Stand up, don't be timid and let it go."

It is true that Mrs. Jia Wang is in bad shape, but it is also true that she is not welcomed in the Rongguo Mansion. As a younger sister, Mrs. Xue Wang would be lying if she said she does not feel sorry for her.There is no way, maybe these are biological sisters, they love and hate them, it's hard to explain.

"In that case, thank you, sister."

Mrs. Xue Wang waved her hand: "What's the point? We are biological sisters. By the way, sister just said that the Rongguo Mansion needs a big decoration? Our Xue family caravan has nothing else, and there are countless building materials. Sister needs it. Whatever you need, just come and get it from us, everything is at the purchase price, isn’t it much cheaper than what you buy outside?”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia Wang smiled even more. When she left the Xue Mansion pawnshop, her bad mood, which was originally very bad due to repaying the money owed to the court, suddenly improved, and it turned from a haze to a sunny day.

What made her most happy was not the 1 taels of silver that Xue Wangshi gave her, nor was it that Xue Wangshi promised to sell her building materials cheaply, but because of the bottle from the Yuan Dynasty.

Because when she got the vase back then, she found that it was not a Yuan Dynasty vase, but a Ming Dynasty vase in the account. There was a difference of one word, but the value was a thousand miles away, so she changed a pawn ticket with peace of mind, which only read: Ming Dynasty vase, worth 200 taels of silver.

Good guy, everyone who knows how to settle accounts knows it all at once. Including the 1 taels of silver given by Xue Wang, Jia Wang got a total of one hundred nine thousand, eight hundred taels of silver! ! !

Who was blind and wrote a vase from the Yuan Dynasty as a Ming Dynasty?Jia Wangshi successfully took advantage of this loophole, but the thing that made Jia Wangshi happy was far more than this.

The several boxes of books that were carried to the Lin Mansion were actually treated as treasures.

Books are like this, they are placed in Jia's mansion, piled up for nothing to eat ashes, moldy, and moth-eaten. No one would think that it is a good thing, but if it comes to Lin Ruhai, every book is a rare treasure.

Because the prices of real ancient books on the market are not low, but because there are very few people who know the goods, there is often no market for the price, and the price is blindly high, and no one buys it.

But these boxes of books in Rongguo Mansion were all good things, and Lin Ruhai knew the predicament Rongguo Mansion was facing, so he took all these books, and ordered Jia Min to take 10 taels of silver notes to Rongguo Mansion.
