Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Before Jia Amnesty sat still, he hurriedly asked: "The Rongguo Mansion took the Zhen family's box? When did it take it? Who took it? How much? Where did you put it?"

Jia Jing looked at him helplessly, "You are not afraid that this is a fake."

Jia She said with a smile, "Of course I believe my brother's words."

Jia Jing smiled and shook his head, "I'm really sorry, I don't know if the news this time is true."

With that said, Jia Jing told about the color screen.

At that time, Caiping's words were like a bolt from the blue to Xichun.

She felt that this was true, and there was no need for the color screen to lie to herself.

The Rongguo Mansion and the Zhen family can gift slaves to each other to help the Zhen family hide their property. Rongguo Mansion can really do it!

But now the Zhen family's affairs are too involved, and everyone can't avoid it. It's good for the Jia family, but they took the initiative to get involved!

For the first time, Xichun felt extremely depressed about the existence of pig teammates!

Caiping said that in Rongguo Mansion, the group of servants they came from Zhen's family had a sense of fellowship, and they would help each other if something happened on weekdays, and they would tell each other about any important matters, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

A few days ago, she borrowed a lot of money in order to get the jailer to visit her sister. A servant couldn't stand it, so he persuaded her, saying that this was not the way.

Caiping also knew that this was not the way to go. She had borrowed so much money, not to mention how she would pay it back in the end, but just throwing so much money down might not be able to save her sister, but she was at her wit's end.

Borrowing a piece of money before has exhausted the friendship of those people that Caiping knew. When she went to borrow again, she knelt down and begged, but she didn't get any money.

It was the same servant from before, seeing how pitiful she was, he directed her to find Bao Yong, the head of Zhuangzi.

"Bao Yong?" Jia She asked suspiciously, "Is he the head of the Zhuangzi in Rongguo Mansion? Which Zhuangzi? How come I don't have a picture?"

Jia Jingdao: "Bao Yong was originally a servant of the Zhen family. More than ten years ago, he took the documents of the Zhen family and came to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng sent him to see the garden. He was so angry that he drank every day and did nothing. He found out that the thieves had sneaked into the yard to steal. After a fight, he killed one of the culprits on the spot. Only then did Jia Zheng realize that he had underestimated him. "

"It turned out to be him." Jia She finally had some reflection, and asked again: "Which Zhuangzi did he go to later?"

Jia Jing said: "I heard that it is the old lady's Zhuangzi, but I haven't found out which one."

Jia She let out a sigh, "Then why didn't he stay in the mansion to be a steward? No matter how good Zhuangzi is, it's always better to stay in the mansion."

Jia Jing laughed softly, "There were three thieves who sneaked into the mansion to steal, and the one who was beaten to death was the godson of Zhou Rui, Wang's companion."

Jia Amnesty understood.

After pondering for a while, Jia Amnesty said to Jia Jing: "Brother, let me go and check. The Zhuangzi is full of old people from the Rongguo Mansion, so it will be easier to check."

Jia Jing refused, "No! I'm telling you this because you need to know, but you can't interfere."

Jia Amnesty must never be allowed to do things like Zicha's mother.

Jia Amnesty's heart warmed slightly, but he still insisted, "It's convenient for me to check this matter, but I also want to know about my mother..."

Jia Jing resolutely refused, "No, there is no need to discuss this matter."

Seeing that he couldn't argue, Jia Amnesty refused to say any more, "If you find out anything, brother, don't forget to let me know."

Jia Jing said it was natural.

After Jia Amnesty went back, he called the stewards to give instructions, and then called Wang Xifeng.

Jia Amnesty didn't say much, and directly asked Wang Xifeng to pay attention to the movements in the mansion in the next few days, and he had to pay attention to any gossip, especially those who came in and out of the mansion.

"You have always been capable, so I will leave this matter to you, don't let me down."

Wang Xifeng's face should be calm, but his heart was beating non-stop, and he didn't calm down until he returned to his yard.

After that incident back then, Wang Xifeng never got much housekeeping power. She also understood the reason, so she didn't force much, but Jia Amnesty's attitude today instantly ignited her ambition.

She understood that this was Jia Amnesty's test for her, and if she passed it, she would be able to get the housekeeping right!

Wang Xifeng called Ping'er and explained everything in detail. Ping'er also laughed, but immediately became worried, "Grandma, this matter is really difficult."

Wang Xifeng had a smile in her eyes, "It's not difficult to show your grandma and me?!"

Ping'er thought for a while, and said to Wang Xifeng: "Since Elder Master has such a difficult problem, there must be a way to solve it."

Wang Xifeng nodded, "You're right, looking at my father's appearance today, it looks like he had a sudden idea..."

The two looked at each other, and Ping'er got up immediately, "I'm going to find out where the old man came back from just now."

Ping'er soon came back after inquiring, "I asked the boys on the second door, today the elder only went to the East Mansion, and he came back not long after, and he called all the stewards over as soon as he came back."

Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, "Could it be that something happened to Dongfu?"

Ping'er shook his head, "I haven't heard any news about it."

The current Dongfu is governed like an iron bucket, and there is almost no news about it.

Wang Xifeng waved his hand, "No, it won't be Dongfu. If something happens to Dongfu, father will definitely ask us to help."

"Since it's not that something happened to the East Mansion, then something happened to our West Mansion, or something might happen to our West Mansion."

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng immediately ordered: "Go and check the entry and exit of people in the nearest mansion, especially those related to the East mansion."

Ping'er should be, and didn't report back until two days later, "I have checked all the personnel coming in and out in recent days, and there is nothing special compared to normal days, except that a cleaning maid named Caiping went to the East Mansion."

"Color screen?" Wang Xifeng asked suspiciously, "Why does this name sound familiar to me?"

Ping'er quickly talked about the color screen.

Wang Xifeng was taken aback, "You said she was originally a servant of the Jiangnan Zhen family?!"

Ping'er nodded, "That's right, besides her, there are many servants sent by the Zhen family. When she was accused of serving Miss Fourth, many people still envied her, but it's a pity that she only wanted to be like Master Panbao. Gao Zhi next to him, who later failed at both ends, even aroused the disgust of the old lady, and was punished as a sweeping maid, and he has been doing this for several years."

At that time, her fate made everyone sigh, and Wang Xifeng even said a few words with emotion.

Wang Xifeng also remembered it, but it was precisely because of the thought that she became even more puzzled, "It's all right, why did she suddenly remember to go to Dongfu?"

Ping'er shook his head, "It hasn't been found out yet."

Wang Xifeng ordered: "Then continue to investigate, her line cannot be broken!"

Ping'er hesitated for a while, but still whispered to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, do you think this has something to do with the Zhen family?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips, and it took a while before she said, "It should be."

Ping'er immediately became anxious and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Xifeng directly, "I know what you are worried about, but those things can't be related to us. If the sky falls, there will be a taller person to hold it up. What's there to be afraid of?" What? It is true to do what we should do!"

Ping'er didn't say anything, and Wang Xifeng asked her to leave after a few more detailed instructions.

Half a month later, Jia Jing found out what was going on in Zhuangzi.

Jia Amnesty's eyes turned red when he found out, wandered around the room for a while, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, you said...they...why don't they know how to be afraid?!"

Half of the Zhen family's property was sent over, and they took it directly, and helped to clean up the traces. Almost all the Zhen family who knew about this matter were imprisoned, and there were not many left under their management. .

Mother Jia and the others had two plans. One was that the Zhen family had nothing to do, and the head of the Zhen family came to ask for the family property. They would naturally return the property and only received some remuneration, but if the Zhen family disappeared... …

Jia Jing sighed, "Wealth and splendor fascinate one's eyes, so naturally one becomes more courageous."

Jia She smiled wryly, "But it's because I lost my eyesight that I don't know when the disaster is approaching."

Jia Amnesty was also decisive and said directly to Jia Jing, "Brother, I don't want to sit and wait for death."

Jia Jing understood what he meant, "You want to take the initiative to hand over the property of the Zhen family? Now is the time, as soon as you show up, the Rongguo Mansion will become a target, and the old lady will not show mercy."

"Besides, the Jia family is a family that has been close friends with the Zhen family for many years, and the other party's willingness to entrust half of his wealth is a testament to his trust. Our behavior in this way will only displease the eminent emperor. The emperor doesn't like the Jia family at all, so If we sent the property of the Zhen family, at most we thought we were timid and wise." Jia Amnesty continued, "But what if we took the opportunity to return the money from the treasury?"

Jia Jing paused while serving tea, then put down the teacup again, "Tell me about it."

"Now the emperor is fighting with the Supreme Emperor, everyone is in danger, and there is chaos in the court. Back then, the Supreme Emperor allowed his courtiers to borrow money from the treasury. After all these years, the treasury has long been unable to make ends meet. It was only barely enough to make ends meet, so I had to take money out of the inner treasury from time to time, last winter there was a snow disaster, and I heard that half of the relief money was taken from the emperor's private treasury."

"A few days ago, Xiao Bai sent a letter, talking about what he had seen and heard in recent months, and felt that there was a high possibility of a spring famine."

Jia Jing understood what Jia Amnesty meant. Now that the national treasury has no money, the emperor's private treasury probably doesn't have much money. The emperor's control of the inner treasury is likely to use this to force the emperor to admit defeat, but the emperor is not easy to admit defeat. If At this time, if they can help the emperor, the emperor will naturally think of them well.

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Jing felt more and more that this plan was feasible, except...

Jia She noticed Jia Jing's worried gaze, and Jia She curled his lips, "Don't worry, brother, after all these years, those conflicts are beyond resolution now, and sooner or later there will be such a day."

He, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, all of them are at fault in this situation, but none of them have any way to turn back, so they can only keep going.

For some wounds, blindly covering them will only make them worse, and even endanger their lives. Now it seems that instead of continuing to cover them, it is better to scrape the bones to heal the wounds and strive for the chance of survival.
