Feeling depressed, Mother Jia smiled lightly and said, "I am an old woman, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Jia Mu's attitude, Wang Ziteng couldn't say anything more, so he looked at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng pondered for a while, and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, if Liang Gong wants to secure his position, he still needs the support of the founding heroes and various governments..."

Jia Mu said impatiently: "I don't care about many things outside. You can do whatever you want, just do it."

Jia Zheng smiled wryly and said, "What Liang Gong means is that our Jia family still needs to grow stronger. It is just to take advantage of the concubine's visiting relatives in the palace to let the outside world see the momentum of the Jia family, so as to gather the hearts of my father's old department. Let them know that our Jia family is still prosperous. It's just that, to start a garden, we need Huifang Garden in the East Mansion as a foundation. So..."

When Jia's mother heard this, she pondered for a long time. If she was only contributing to the Wang family, she would definitely not do it, but since she wanted to gather the momentum of the Jia family, she did not object. Thinking of this, she said: "It just so happens that Yu'er came At home, I have been invited to the Lin Mansion with my eldest wife and wife as guests... Forget it, I will let Yuer and her father talk to that evildoer."

Jia She hurriedly said: "Old lady, the cost of building a garden is quite a lot, can the East Mansion also pay half of it? You need to know that the glory of the Jia family is not only in the East Mansion!"

When Jia's mother heard the words, her complexion darkened, and she wanted to dismiss it, but then she remembered the rumors that Sister Feng told her. government...

In addition, the money given by Jia Chang and Jia Ling was also returned. After all, he still has face in the clan, so in the end it was all for nothing.

He sighed in his heart, no matter how unworthy he was, he was still her eldest son, so he reluctantly nodded and said: "Forget it, I will talk about it together with this old face. As for whether it will be successful or not, I can't guarantee it."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng blushed, and it was obvious that Wang Ziteng looked at him brightly, and finally said with some difficulty: "There is one more thing..."

Jia Mu's face was ugly. She hated greedy people the most, but she heard Jia Zheng say: "My sister-in-law issued an official document from the Ministry of Households today, asking officials, ministers and princes and relatives who borrowed money from the Ministry of Households to repay the debts within one year. Pay back the deficit."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she said in a deep voice: "It's not a matter of course to pay back the debt. What's there to say?"

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Time is tight after all, and the loan has been borrowed for many years. How can I pay it back in a while?"

Jia She also said: "It's not that mother doesn't know that there are so many high-ranking families in Beijing, except for a few one or two families who can be like ours, how many hereditary poor officials are just holding up their facades, not pointing at the household department. Borrowing some money will make it difficult for years. Now, when someone suddenly asks to pay back the money, how can I pay it back?"

Jia Mu wondered: "Why are you talking to me about this? You didn't give it back to me. Could it be that you asked me to take out the coffin money to subsidize them?"

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng and others all laughed apologetically, not even daring to say anything.

In the end it was Jia Zheng, a little embarrassed and said: "I still want to ask my mother to share a word with my sister-in-law..."

Jia Mu was even more surprised: "Let me talk about such things?"

Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Zheng was poor in speech, and hurriedly said: "If I wait to talk, it can only be a business talk, but the old lady is different. We all know that Ruhai is pure and filial. Back then, the old lady and the Duke didn't treat each other like pampered guests. It is clear that he treats him like his own son. If the old lady goes to talk about something, all the high-ranking families will definitely appreciate the old lady's great kindness and regard the Jia family as benefactors!"

When Jia's mother heard the words, her heart was moved again, but she refused to agree on her face. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's useless for me to say these words. Don't count on me. When the Duke is here, I never let me pay attention to the outside world." First, don’t let me spend that much thought, and second, after all, it’s a woman’s family, so don’t meddle in things that shouldn’t be meddled. Go, go, if there is anything, you just go and do your own thing. Disturbing I have a headache……"

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng, Jia Lian and others had no choice but to resign.

Inside the Xinuang Pavilion, Baoyu looked at Daiyu who was intentionally sitting by the door and sneered, feeling very embarrassed, and said softly, "Sister Lin, uncle didn't mean that..."

Daiyu wondered, "What does your uncle mean? Tell me, what exactly does he mean?"

Seeing Baoyu's face flushed and sweat on his forehead, all the sisters sighed in their hearts:

Sister Lin is still the same Sister Lin, her mouth is no different from a knife...

Li Wan was afraid that Baoyu would suffer from hysteria again, and it would be difficult for her to explain, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "Okay, all the things outside are over, let's go out quickly. Sister Lin came back after a long time, and then she thought about it, what to add at noon Delicious and stubborn..."

Baoyu liked what he said, and he didn't care about the Wang family at all. As long as he and his sisters had fun, they could talk about anything, so they clapped their hands and laughed, "How about we compose poems and eat wine today?"

Yingchun smiled and said, "Come on, let's not talk about drinking. During the Chinese New Year, if you get drunk once, it will make us eat half a year of drinking."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Not anymore today!"

But he only looked at Daiyu, but Daiyu's face was always unhappy, and his expression gradually became lonely.

A group of people came out of the Nuan Pavilion and saw that Jiamu's face was not very good-looking, and when Jiamu saw Daiyu like this, the old man knew in her heart that Daiyu must have listened to what Cai said just now, and hurriedly laughed: "Good Yuer, just now Don't tell your uncle what your uncle said. The big things outside of them have nothing to do with us."

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, lowered her eyes and said, "If the old lady has any orders, my father will naturally obey no matter what. My father taught me at home that my grandfather treated him like his own son, and my grandmother did not use a different surname. Flesh and blood treat it like it is... Even if the mother is gone, the grandmother never blamed him, so what kind of kindness is this kind of kindness, even if it is the biological mother and child? Uncle and the others, if you have something to tell your father, I am a niece, of course I don’t have it. There is room for talking. However, they let the old lady speak, so it's a little... a little bullying."

Seeing Daiyu's tears, Jia's mother was already dissatisfied and couldn't suppress it any more. She said angrily, "What do you do to those greedy people? It's one time, and it's not over. I want to be promoted." If you want a garden, if you want a garden, you need money. If you want money, even my uncle of the Jia family will sell it?" This last sentence shows that the old lady is not confused.

But in all fairness, what Mother Jia said was a little unreasonable.

After all, it was her eldest son who asked Yuanzi for money, not Wang Ziteng.

But she thought that without Wang Ziteng, there would be no embarrassing scene today, which made Daiyu cry.

Furthermore, the Wang family was originally greedy enough, and it was really annoying to want to finish this and that.

Don't want to finish the sentence, but saw Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng coming in from outside, maybe they heard something, and their expressions were not natural.

It's just that Jia's mother is at Jia's house, who else needs to be taken into account?

Speaking of getting angry, he pulled Daiyu more and more annoyed, and said with a tense face: "Every one of them knows that they are plotting against our orphans and widows, and they all think that I am easy to provoke! This family can't stay anymore, so I will take it with me." Shang Baoyu, I will go to Lin's house with you. My uncle is more reliable than children now, just think that I have only raised a good daughter in my life, and I have not raised half a son!"

These words were too heavy, even Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it, and knelt down.

When she knelt down, Li Wan and Mrs. Wang couldn't stand up, and even the Jia sisters also knelt down.

Daiyu was taken aback, and quickly persuaded with an apologetic smile: "Don't get angry, old lady. Who doesn't know that uncles and aunts are the most filial? Don't talk about filial piety to the old lady. I have lived in Jia's for so many years. Uncle, aunt She loves her like her own daughter."

Mother Jia snorted and said, "You are their niece and niece, shouldn't they love you?"

Daiyu smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Then grandma shouldn't have wronged uncle and the others."

Mother Jia sighed, and said, "Come on, for Yu'er's sake, I won't blame them. However, I won't be a guest at your house tomorrow. There's a lot of chaos in the court, I don't know." How busy you have to be, and you will be exhausted if you talk about our family and girls. Just tell him that you have to come and sit with me."

Then he said to Mrs. Wang and the others: "Get up too."

Sister Feng and Li Wan hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang to get up. Mrs. Wang's joy of hearing that the prince had ascended to a high position had long since disappeared. What else does the old lady want to eat for lunch? Feng girl ran to ask me, I thought about it, I should ask the old lady."

Daiyu, who had always been sensitive, suddenly looked dark...

In her heart, she had already regarded the Jia family as relatives. .

But looking at it today, except for the old lady, other people may not think so...

Chapter 266 The Sound of the Horn

Yong'an Square, the He family's mansion.

Jia Qiang embraced her chest with her hands, and there was an iron bull inside. The family members of the He family did not even dare to cry loudly, watching helplessly as the warehouses of the He family were emptied one by one.

The belongings were piled up in the courtyard, and the lid was opened, revealing an ingot of silver in the sunlight, so that the soldiers who carried the boxes couldn't hide their greedy eyes.

"Stand up, pay!!"

After the He family's bank was emptied, Gao Long stood in the He family's courtyard and shouted at the lazy and absent-minded soldiers.
