Honglouchun

Jia Qiang was able to let go of her hand so easily, Zhen Yuhuan thought that there was some dignity in her.

And to achieve this goal, it will be easier for her to do business after returning...

Jia Qiang looked at her and smiled, and asked, "Did Zhao Guogong say anything else?"

Zhen Yuhuan hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything else... By the way, there is one more matter, but it is not about Zhao Guogong's mansion. My grandfather told me that if I have a chance, I can ask Brother Qiang about your Zhen family. I heard that, The household department has already sent three documents to the south to recover the shortfall..."

Jia Qiang laughed when she heard the words, and said, "Second sister doesn't have to worry about this matter. The shortfall owed by the Zhen family is mostly due to the four times the Zhen family took over the imperial court when the Supreme Emperor visited the south. Several million The shortfall of taels of silver was really appalling. However, in the old year of Jingchu, the Supreme Emperor asked the Zhen family to manage the salt administration for a few years, and paid back most of it with the salt tax. As long as the Zhen family was willing to pay back the rest, it would not be difficult. "

Of course, it is actually difficult...

The Zhen family's shortfall was already repaid with the salt tax. Speaking of it, the Supreme Emperor treated the Zhen family very well.

But in the next 20 years, the Zhen family borrowed a large amount of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, resulting in a huge deficit. The money was all used to supplement the extravagant life of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yingjia is a well-known "Zhen Buddha" in the south of the Yangtze River, but when he asks for help from him, almost no one returns empty-handed.

Coupled with the ostentation of the Zhen family, it is a huge sum of money to welcome and send the New Year's Day gifts with each family every year.

Today, the Zhen family is powerless.

However, even if it is going to fall, it will have to wait until the person from Jiuhua Palace dies.

Therefore, the Zhen family still has a few more bright days...

These Jia Qiang didn't plan to tell Zhen Yuhuan, firstly, the relationship was not that close, and secondly, even if they did, what would be the use?

Gossiping, Jia Qiang said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, why don't you invite the sisters to come out and see you together? When Sister Lin and I were going to Yangzhou, we passed by Huaiyin to visit Mrs. Zhen's family. Mrs. Jia thought that the Jia family was family friends. Dear dear, it should be good for the whole family..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jia Mu said angrily: "You not only appointed Brother Feng, but now I have also been appointed. What do you need to talk about? If you don't interrupt, their sisters will come out early gone."

Saying that, let Yuanyang, who pursed her lips and snickered, call for someone.

Jia Qiang didn't care either, and smiled at Zhen Yuhuan, "Look at the Baoyu of the Jia family and the Baoyu of the Zhen family, how similar they are!"

Mother Jia laughed and said, "How can there be such a coincidence? No matter how delicate the children are, except for the deformed and ugly ones on their faces, they all look the same. There is nothing strange about that."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Let Second Sister meet later, I can make up my own mind."

Not long after, I saw Li Wan leading the Jia sisters out of Xinuang Pavilion.

Zhen Yuhuan's eyes immediately fell on Baoyu's face among the sisters. Although her nose was still a little bruised and her face was swollen, she still gave her a jump, and said with a smile: "If Brother Qiang hadn't laid an ambush in advance, I would just treat her as Baoyu Home is here, why does it look like..."

Jia Mu and others didn't take it to heart. There are so many people in the world who are alike, there is no need to be serious.

After the sisters met one by one and chatted for a while, Zhen Yuhuan got up to leave.

Although Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others tried to persuade her several times, Zhen Yuhuan only said that there are too many elders in the family and the rules are strict, so it is not good to eat out alone, and so on next time.

Jia Qiang personally sent him out, and when she came back, she saw Jia's mother looking at him strangely, and said, "When we talked about the Zhen family last time, didn't you assert that the Zhen family would be defeated? Even Lian'er asked you to warn me to stay away from the Zhen family. Come on, what's the name today?"

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Qiang'er, be careful, the second girl of the Zhen family is back together, but she is the eldest and youngest mistress of Duke Zhao's residence."

Jia Qiang looked at her as if she was insane, and then she turned to her mother and said, "Now it is more certain that the Zhen family will be defeated. The Zhen family owes too much to the household department, which is as high as one million taels, and it is impossible to pay it back." .When the Supreme Emperor is here, in the face of Mrs. Fengsheng, he can still defend one or two. When the unbearable day comes, the Zhen family will be the first wave of cleansing. Old lady, when that day really comes, Zhen If the family sends property to the door, ask the Jia family to keep it safe and hide it for you, but you must never touch it. Whoever touches it will be unlucky for the family, the kind of bad luck that the family is ransacked and wiped out!

As for the second girl of the Zhen family, she is no longer from the Zhen family.The reason why she is kind to her is that she treated me and sister Lin well when we were in the Zhen family.Secondly, today she is the messenger of Zhao Guogong's Old Ginger.

That piece of old ginger is a person who is about to become a spirit, and the speed of seeing the wind is beyond imagination.If such a person can avoid being an enemy, it is best not to be.He used the second girl of the Zhen family as his messenger, and bowed his head first, then I will treat this second girl kindly and show my kindness.There is no need to say anything, the past grievances have been resolved for the time being. "

"for the time being?!"

"Well, as long as the old man of the Jiang family lives, the grievances and grievances will be resolved. When the old man is gone, let alone what happens after he is gone, not all the Jiang family understand people."

"..."

Chapter 4 and one Pinger...

At night, at midnight.

After a busy day, Ping'er returned to the three small huts and saw that Sister Feng had fallen asleep on the bed, and said with an angry smile: "Grandma is becoming more and more like a master, and assigns all the work to us. , grandma took a rest early."

While speaking, he removed the hair from his head, put it in the jewelry box, and washed his face with the hot water Feng'er sent.

Sister Feng was lying in the brocade quilt thinking about something, but she didn't notice her coming in. After hearing what she said, she came back to her senses. Seeing that it was Ping'er, she smiled and said, "Why did you come back sooner or later? You just said What?"

I wiped my face, put the water in the copper basin on the outside, and took another basin of water to the inside, I don't know what I was washing...

Through the curtain, Ping'er smiled and said: "What is grandma thinking? I said that grandma is becoming more and more capable of being a grandma now, and assigns all the work to us. In the past, grandma would not come back until she was late. I fell asleep early today. As for why I came back sooner or later... Hey, the old man can't live in peace for a moment, either he wants this or that, and it's not easy for me to get close to him. And the second master Lian, too. Don't worry..."

Ping'er seemed to have something to say, and was hesitating, not knowing what to say, but she heard Sister Feng sneer and said: "He went to provoke the little aunt in the master's room again?"

Ping'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "How did grandma know?"

Xiao Taohong was a concubine that Jia She took only two years ago, and she only cared about it for half a year, so she threw it aside.

Sister Feng herself was also surprised by her indifference when she said this. She snorted and said, "What can you hide from me? There are so many things now, so I'll bear with it. After I've been busy for a while, I'll make a big fuss again."

Ping'er came out from the inner room, poured out the water in the copper basin, went back to the inner room, took off his clothes and got on the bed. He was about to pull off the brocade quilt when Sister Feng laughed and said, "I sleep on my quilt today. It was you who kept me warm, and today I will warm you up again."

At the moment, there were only the two of them in the room, and Ping'er didn't feel shy, so she got into Sister Feng's quilt, and it was really warm. After lying down, she sighed and persuaded: "Grandma, why bother to make trouble again? What is the second master?" It's not like grandma doesn't know about such a person. If there is a big trouble, even if his face is dull, how can grandma feel better? After all, grandma will have to point the finger at the second master in the future?"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Silly Pinger, even now, do you still think about counting on him in the future? Normally, those women and daughters-in-law in the house only secretly said that Baoyu is a devil in sex, and only likes beautiful girls. But these years Come down, I am afraid that the only one who has really fought against him is Xiren. Look at your good second master. He was only thought of as a greedy and stubborn man. He is good. Let him go to Yangzhou to do serious business. He can make waves from Slender West Lake To the Qinhuai River, and back and forth a few times! Now it’s getting worse, even his father’s aunt dared to steal it! Let Qiang’er clean it up for a while, but when we get home, he’ll get angry with me, saying that Qiang’er and I are not clean! Serious business He can't do everything, he's filthy and smelly, but he can't do anything. Do you still count on him?"

Ping'er gently persuaded: "Grandma, even though this is the case, he is grandma's decent husband after all. If you don't count on him, who can you count on? Grandma will bear with it for two years, take good care of her body, and wait until she gives birth to a son and a half." Girl, you will have hope in the future."

Sister Feng hesitated for a while when she heard the words, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Even so, there are some things that need to be planned ahead. Ping'er, I planned a business with Qiang'er, and he agreed, but I always Don't worry, I'm worried that he's playing tricks inside!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Ping'er couldn't help showing a strange look on his delicate and beautiful face, and said, "Grandma still suspects him?"

Sister Feng's heart jumped when she heard the words, but she didn't show it on her face. She wondered: "Why can't I doubt him? Who is easy to be with a man who does such a big thing like him? If he doesn't have a hard face and a dark heart, he can't do it." It's a big deal. So the more this is the case, the more I suspect him!"

Hearing this, Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's good that grandma can think like this, I'm still worried..."

Seeing her like this, Sister Feng scolded: "You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you worried about?"

Ping'er blushed and felt guilty after being scolded, but still said forcefully: "I can blame this too? Who told grandma to be as friendly as him on weekdays, and she didn't avoid suspicion. Although she was a generation shorter, she was so big after all. He was born again It's as good as it is, it's still a young master, even the empress is thinking of marrying her niece and niece to him. Grandma is so close to him, can't others just think about it?"

Sister Feng looked at her strangely and said, "He's as good as you said? Why didn't I realize..."

Ping'er laughed angrily and said, "You want to blame me? I can't see him twice in a year."

Hearing this, Sister Feng's smile turned weird, Ping'er got goosebumps when she saw it, and said, "Grandma, what does this mean?"
