Today is the exam day once a month, and Baoyu deserves to be unlucky to meet him.Jia Zhen naturally heard about Baoyu's absence from the school for three to five days, but he didn't pay attention to these things now. For today's exam, Jia Zhen took the extremely clansmen to the school together.
Although he didn't show up, all the teachers sitting in the hall knew about it, so everyone attached great importance to this exam.
After this month, whether it is effective or not depends on the test results this time.For some reason, Jia Zhen became a little excited.
The exams in the morning passed quickly. The exams in the morning were about the Four Books and Five Classics, and the exams in the afternoon were about miscellaneous books.Numerology and the like, many students who are determined to participate in the scientific examination are a little puzzled by the setting of this course in the school, but the patriarch arbitrarily decides what to do, and everyone has nothing to do.
However, both parents and students from poor families feel that this homework is good.They don't expect to be able to pass the imperial examinations, learn some real skills in school, and then go out to find a job as an accountant to support their families.
After the one-hour exam in the afternoon, the morning exam papers are out.After Jia Zhen and the others had lunch, they checked the exam papers together.
There are really a few good grades, but most people have mediocre grades.Jia Zhen was really disappointed.But self-comfort, this is the beginning, take your time.
However, the members of the direct branch are all very good.Especially Jialan and Baoyu.One of these uncles and nephews is talented, the other is hardworking, and their grades are very good.
Furthermore, Jia Cong, who has always been valued by no one, has achieved very good results.Jia Zhen was really surprised.
After the results came down, the matter of rewarding the rankings began.Among the top ten prizes, the Second Household of Rongguo Mansion monopolized three, which really made Jia Zheng extremely proud.
However, Jia Zheng still felt a little bit uncomfortable about the fact that his nephew was not as good as his uncle. Although Baoyu's grades were not bad, compared to Jia Lan, a nephew, he was a bit contemptible.
Compared with Baoyu's ignorance, Jia Lan's calm appearance of a young adult made Jia Zheng even more disheartened.
Although it is not for the sake of giving up Baoyu, he paid more attention to Jia Huan and Jia Lan.
While Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was also somewhat inexplicably lost.It seems that he is a waste snack, and he is very unworthy of the stage.The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Baoyu seemed to be, and the more frequent the messing around with the girls in her room.
Yuan Chun has always regarded his younger brother as his reliance for the rest of his life, but he really didn't expect him to be like this. Although he was disappointed, he still tried his best to teach him a lesson.
Baoyu listened carefully this time, but the effect is not quite clear.However, things will always come to light one day.
Just when Jia's mother thought of a way again and wanted to plan for Yuanchun's future, Xiren in Baoyu's room had a miscarriage.
Now that Baoyu lives in Jiamu's yard, she can't hide this matter from Jiamu. Although Yuanyang and Xiren have a good relationship, they dare not hide such a thing.
Soon, Mother Jia knew the whole story.For Xiren to hide from her and do such scandalous things, it really made Jiamu very angry.
"Go, drag that lowly maid in for me, I want to see how thick her skin is."
Mother Jia's face was sullen, but she looked very calm because of her anger.Yuan Chun on the side had a really ugly face and always looked at Xi Ren as an honest person, so since she returned home, she had always looked at Xi Ren with high regard.
It's a pity that there is such a big mistake now.However, she is a big girl with yellow flowers, and it is a bit embarrassing to appear in such a scene.
However, Yuan Chun has been in the palace for a long time, and this technique of nourishing qi is quite good, nothing can be seen on the surface.
Xiren has been lying on the bed for the past two days, his face is very pale, his eyes are sunken, and he looks more pitiful than before.
But none of the present people had this kind of thought. Mother Jia looked at her kneeling on the ground, with low eyebrows and kind eyes attacking people, and her anger was aroused again.
"Xi Ren, I handed over the second master to you, is this how you take care of me?"
"Old lady, this servant realizes his mistake."
Xiren is also very obedient, knowing the temperament of the old lady.Therefore, without prevarication, I directly kowtowed to admit my mistake.
Jia's mother wanted to send out a thunderous rage to frighten her, but the appearance of Xiren made her even more annoyed.He punched the cotton softly, not only did not calm Jia Mu, but made her even more annoyed.
"Come here, pull this lowly servant girl down for me, beat twenty boards, let all the maids in Baoyu's room go to watch the torture, let them all have a long memory!"
Mother Jia didn't bother to pay any attention to a slave, so she ordered like this.Everyone thought of the kindness that attacked people in the past, and they couldn't bear it. During this action, their deeds were revealed.But Jia's mother felt that attacking people was even more hateful, she pretended to be kind, and was used to being a means of buying people's hearts by these vicious people.
"Hit, hit me hard."
Mother Jia was even more annoyed, and everyone naturally didn't dare to have any other thoughts, even the few people who showed sympathy before us didn't dare to make any more moves.
With a little bit of stiffness, he pulled out Xiren who was still in the confinement period, and started beating in the yard.
Qingwen, Sheyue and the others couldn't help feeling a little "sorrowful for the death of the rabbit", even Qingwen, who was the most at odds with attackers in the past, couldn't help but her eyes were red.
Looking at Xiren who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Qingwen asked the people next to her in a low voice,
"Where did Second Master go?"
"It seems to be in the study in the front yard."
Someone came back with a sound, but I don't know if it was Zhui'er or Xiaohong.Hearing that Baoyu was in the study in the front yard, everyone was desperate to ask for help.
However, Baoyu also caught up. After he did his homework in the study in the front yard, he was held up by Jia Zheng for a few words, and then he sent his son back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the old lady's courtyard, he saw several ferocious women beating someone with a board.
Baoyu didn't pay attention to it, but looked over suddenly, who knew, it was the maids in her yard who surrounded her.
Baoyu was stunned, a trace of ominousness flashed in his heart, and he stepped forward a few steps.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an attacker.
Naturally, everyone also saw Baoyu, and some people showed hope, and their movements of hitting the board slowed down.
"What's going on here?"
Baoyu also has a certain sense of affection, Xiren is his first woman, and the meaning is even more different.
"Second Master Bao, you'd better go back to the house, it's very dirty here, don't..."
A woman stepped forward obsequiously, blocking Baoyu's sight and preventing him from seeing the situation.
"Stop it first, I'm going to ask the old lady for mercy."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to continue.Baoyu didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried into the house.
However, those who were waiting outside were disappointed. After half a day, no one came out to say that it was a plan to avoid the attack.
The wives looked at these young girls who grew up like vice-ladies with dispirited faces, but now they were full of contempt.
I can't see my status clearly, and I don't know that I will die that day.
"Sisters, go ahead."
Several women greeted each other, and then finished the remaining few boards.Then he dragged the attacker and threw him into the woodshed.
Baoyu was also really helpless, the old lady didn't mention anything outside. He wanted to bring up this topic several times, but the old lady didn't answer at all.
Baoyu herself is a little guilty, especially in the close perspective eyes of Jia Mu and Yuan Chun.He could only keep silent.
However, Jia's mother was still worried, she found an old woman, and then entered Baoyu's room.
After hearing the words, the servant girls showed humiliation on their faces, but there were many people who were faintly guilty.
Qingwen snorted coldly, mocking,
"Who is the crow, stand up and don't let everyone suffer together."
After saying this, he looked at Musk Moon's face.Musk Moon was really annoyed by her gaze, but she had a ghost in her heart, so she didn't dare to say much, so she could only turn her head away.Pretend not to see.
"Aunts, hurry up, no one can escape, don't think that you are all the master's grandma, just a few girls."
The nanny's vicious words and eyes really made everyone feel ashamed.But looking at it, there is really no way.
Qingwen herself has no ghosts in her heart, but this kind of thing is really embarrassing, so she can take the lead and stand up.
Everyone knows that she has a strong temper, even that old woman dare not use her as a raft, so they all look at Musk Moon.
Musk Moon had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a few steps forward, and followed the nuns into the inner room.
With this leader, everyone will not be so repulsive.But Musk Moon and the other two were pale, and everyone looked at them with contempt.
The old mother took the three of them to the old lady's house to return to their orders.As for the other few people, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. I really didn't expect that the more honest they looked, the more they would do such dirty things behind their backs. They really answered the sentence, "People should not be judged by appearances." "Are.
Qingwen naturally saw everyone's expressions, snorted coldly, then turned and went in.
But even so, Qingwen was disappointed that the second master didn't have the slightest sense of responsibility as a man.
After hearing the old mother's report, Mother Jia's complexion became ugly, and she squeezed out a few words between her teeth, which made the old mother shiver uncontrollably.
"Pull out those lowly maidservants, call Ren Yazi, and sell them to that kind of place. Don't they love to seduce men, then let them enjoy it for the rest of their lives!"
The old nanny went down trembling...
Jia's mother was alone in this huge room, and she couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
As for Xiren, when he was weak, he received another [-] boards. After staying in the woodshed for half a day, half of his life was lost.
When she woke up again, she was already in a rather dilapidated carriage.The way ahead was unknown, Xiren's eyes darkened, and he passed out again.
Baoyu's room suddenly lost three big girls, and there was a thorny Qingwen left, and everyone's eyes were hot.
But Jia Mu didn't intend to continue to add maids to Baoyu, and Qingwen took care of everything in Baoyu's house.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wang in the Buddhist hall couldn't help cursing again.Looking at Yuan Chun, who is pure-hearted and ascetic, neither sad nor happy.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but cried bitterly while hugging her daughter, her poor daughter!
In fact, Jiamu's outbreak was not a symptom, but was caused by someone's calculation.How much of this was done by the Lin family, no one knows.
As long as Lin Ruhai thought about the rude things after Baoyu came to the door a few days ago, which made his precious daughter cry, he would itch his teeth with hatred.
It's nothing to design him to be beaten up by Jia Zheng, so don't sell the maids in this mansion.Because the servants here in Erfang don't keep their mouths tight.Therefore, everyone soon knew that the second master made the servant girl's belly bigger, and the news that three or five servant girls lost their innocence spread quickly.
After Mother Jia heard the news, she tried to suppress it, but it was too late.For the first time, Mother Jia lost her temper with Yuan Chun, the housekeeper.
Yuan Chun herself was also annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. It was really her own negligence. She admitted her mistake seriously, and also expressed her suspicions. It seemed that someone was manipulating her.The purpose is to destroy Baoyu.
After Jiamu heard this, she immediately turned her doubts to the big room.But after checking and checking, Da Fang didn't move at all.
Jia's mother had no choice but to reward those bad-mouthed women with a board, and the whole family sold them out.
But even so, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Baoyu to say goodbye in the future.It's a small family now, and if something like this happens again, what should I do?
There is only one thing, that is Baoyu's talent and learning make up for it.If he can earn a family background, it will be much easier to talk about marriage in the future.Even Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything wrong.
So, very soon, Baoyu's life became even more difficult. This was only because her father was watching, and even in the inner courtyard, Jia's mother and Yuan Chun also gave advice from time to time.
Baoyu's life at home became more and more depressing, and he also missed the leisure of the past more and more.From time to time, read some Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, etc., for a moment of peace of mind.
No one knows whether this sign is good or bad, but everyone has no intention of stopping it. It's better than him going out to fool around.
In her own room, the maids are also avoiding Second Master Bao, and will no longer talk and laugh carelessly like in the past.
Only Qingwen, who still has the same temperament as before, is even more eloquent than before.
Baoyu originally had a high opinion of Qingwen because of her temperament, but now, she dared not provoke Qingwen once.
Qingwen looked at her second master's appearance, and the disappointment in her heart can be imagined.An attacker left, Musk Moon, but he was not happy at all.
Although she also had those confused thoughts, but now, she just feels very chilling.
Whether I am fighting against Xiren or getting along with each other, it is all because of Second Master Bao. Who knows, he has no responsibility at all?
What a disappointment.Even if it's a few words to satirize the second master Bao to make him feel better, so what?
Looking at the profits in the shop, Jia Zhen really couldn't figure it out. They were just ordinary things, how could they be sold at such a high price?
The shopkeeper in the shop is very happy, his master is indeed the master.Such words of advice made the family earn a lot of money.
"Master, these foreign goods are not very good in the south, but there are not many in the north. Isn't this a good way to give favors?"
After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Jia Zhen understood the world.Of course, no matter what, the money fell into his own hands, so that's fine.
But soon, he couldn't be happy.Jia Jing, the old master in the Taoist temple, asked the little Taoist boys to bring a letter, which wrote some things that made Jia Zhen unable to eat dinner.
He really didn't understand why the old man didn't give up when he had reached this point?
Could it be that he really couldn't understand?But Jia Zhen didn't believe it, "the eldest grandson" is really impossible.
Ming Taizu passed the throne to his grandson, and it all got to that point in the end, not to mention that the grandson didn't get the throne now?
Wanting to rely on the shadow of his father and the pity of the emperor is like overthrowing the current throne and ascending to the throne by himself.
I really don't know what to say, at least the grandson of the emperor is a childish person, but it is true.
However, what Jia Zhen couldn't understand was, how could such a wise old man get involved in such a thing?Could it be that the old man is confused?
But Jia Zhen didn't believe this kind of thing at all, thinking that he would get Yuan Chun out of the palace as soon as he made a move.
After a while, Jia Zhen, who couldn't figure it out, had no choice but to put the matter aside, and go out of the city tomorrow to ask.This old man is not practicing outside the city with a pure heart and asceticism. What's the point of making trouble like this?
With such an inquiring heart, Jia Zhen took Xichun out of the city the next day.Taking Xichun with him is naturally to let the girl meet her father, but more importantly, it means to let Xichun relax.
Although Xichun herself is awkward, it is really a happy event to go out for a walk and relax.
With the maids ready to go out, Xichun was looking forward to it.
On the second day, after breakfast, the two brothers and sisters went out, one riding a horse and the other riding a car.
Along the way, he walked very slowly.Xichun ate the snacks bought by her brother, and looked at the bustle outside through the gauze curtain, which was really interesting.
Thinking of his brother's surprise when he got the shoe purse he made a few days ago, Xichun's heart softened a lot.
No matter what happened before, what he did these days is enough.Thinking of this, Xichun's attitude towards Jia Zhen changed a lot.
For a while, Jia Zhen was flattered.
This trip of the brothers and sisters is more like an outing.After walking for a while, I arrived at the Taoist temple outside the city.
Jia Zhen asked Xichun to accompany Xichun to walk around the Taoist temple to have a look, while she asked someone to bring some food to meet Jia Jing.
Although he is already a person from outside Fang, and he is also a moral character, but Jia Jing is involved in the affairs of the royal family again.It really annoyed Jia Zhen, what the hell is this old man doing.
"Father, what's going on? Can people like us get involved in these things?"
Jia Zhen finally endured the slave to go down, but only complained when she opened her mouth.Jia Jing frowned, a little unhappy.
He didn't think about telling his son these things at all before, it was just because Jia Zhen performed quite well these days that Jia Jing gave birth to some other thoughts.
But who knows, the son's reaction is very different from what he expected.What does it mean that he is so trembling?
Jia Jing frowned, listening to his son's nagging and complaining.After a while, seeing Jia Jing's frown getting tighter, Jia Zhen stopped.
"Father, can you tell your son why?"
"Well, although I know that the matter may not work out, but I have received great kindness from the crown prince before, how can I let it go?"
Jia Jing sighed, and then talked about the past.Seeing Jia Jing's very moved appearance, Jia Zhen was really upset. This was just an act of buying people's hearts by the prince. How could he make her father remember him so many years?Such bloody things can be easily found in a lot of film and television dramas of later generations.
"Father, with your original identity, you were naturally the target of wooing everywhere, and the prince's deeds are also like this. Is it possible that you still can't understand?"
Jia Zhen couldn't help complaining.
"Even though that's the case, he took care of me a lot in my relationship with the crown prince afterwards. Son, people can't just repay their kindness. Now the crown prince only has such a son, how can he not help?"
People tend to be stubborn when they are old, no matter how earnest Jia Zhen is, she has no intention of changing Jia Jing's mind.
Just when Jia Zhen's mood was waning, a turning point came.Although the two of them are considered cautious, and there are people waiting outside, but no one dares to neglect the opinions of the little master Xichun.
Xichun heard that her father threw herself to the West Mansion because she planned a big event for the prince, and even when her mother died, she didn't care much about it.All of a sudden, the fire became very hot, and the little girl made a move that stunned everyone.
Under the shocked eyes of the slaves outside, Xichun stretched out her foot and kicked open the door.Jia Jing and his son were shocked, they looked out hastily, and saw Xichun's angry face.
The little girl's eyes were red, and she stubbornly did not intend to cry, but it made Jia Zhen feel even more distressed.
"Sister, what's the matter? Could it be that someone bullied you?"
When Jia Zhen said this, Xichun felt even more wronged.The tears just now fell down "tick-tock".
"Sister, sister, don't cry. If you have something to tell brother, can brother vent your anger on you?"
Jia Zhen hurriedly said.Jia Jing was already stunned. Since she was a baby, Jia Jing has never seen her daughter's face again. Now this little girl who looks exactly like his wife is his daughter?
"You left me just for those illusory glory?"
The little girl ignored Jia Zhen, stared blankly at Jia Jing, and asked.
"No, no, no..."
Jia Jing himself hastily waved his hands and refused, but his words were messy and incoherent, not convincing at all.
"Then why have you been hiding outside the city these past few years, leaving me in the West Mansion, and never looking at me?"
He continued to frown and asked, obviously, Jia Jing didn't know his daughter well, his daughter's temper was not at all like his own, but she was [-]% like his wife.
"Well, I, I, I was going back to the mansion, but, but not yet..."
"That's fine. We'll wait for you at the mansion. After three days, I'll ask my brother to send someone to pick you up. If you don't come back, then I will ignore you for the rest of my life."
She didn't care about Jia Jing's lies, and took the words directly.
Jia Zhen praised her sister from the side, she was too tough.Then, while Jia Zhen was in a daze, she was dragged out of the Taoist temple by Xichun in a daze, and got on her horse to go back.
In vain, a very disappointed Jia Jing was left behind, but thinking of his daughter's indifferent words, he really didn't dare. If his daughter really ignored him for the rest of his life, what should he do?
It would have been okay if we hadn't met, but after meeting this time, Jia Jing couldn't let go of it at all. This daughter, no matter in appearance or temperament, was carved out of the same mold as Fa's wife.
Especially the way she was so strong that she didn't shed tears really aroused the guilt in Jia Jing's heart.
Because of the crown prince's great cause, he owed too much to his family.Even the son, he was neglected in discipline, which made him grow into the current picture of incapable of writing and incompetent in martial arts.
The more Jia Jing thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and continued to want to move back to Beijing that night.But thinking about what happened to the emperor's grandson.
He calmed down. Fortunately, he hadn't shown himself in these years, so it was easy to get out.
Soon, the Taoist temple outside the city was on fire because of alchemy, and everything was burned up in one fire.
Only one master, Jia Jing, escaped, and none of the other Taoist boys and priests who practiced escaped. More than [-] lives were lost!
But a very strange thing happened, no one came out to investigate whether it was Jingzhao Yamen or Wucheng Bingma Sidi.
Jia Jing rode a rough horse back to Beijing.
Only one day has passed since Xichun's three days. After hearing the servant's report, Jia Zhen hurried to the gate of the mansion. Seeing her father's indifferent attitude, her jaw almost dropped. .
Seeing his son's hopeless appearance, Jia Jing rewarded him with a chestnut.Jia Zhen rubbed her forehead, and hurriedly welcomed her father into the house with a bit of embarrassment.
I wanted to let my father live in the main courtyard, but unfortunately, Jia Jing was not impatient with that.So he found a random yard in the mansion and lived in it.
Seeing his awkward look, Jia Zhen couldn't help snickering again.This place is obviously the closest to my sister's yard, okay?
Xichun listened to Ruhua's words, saying that the old man in the mansion had returned, and was watching her girl's expression.Although Xichun's face was still calm, she could still see that the girl was very happy.
Seeing this, I felt a lot more relieved when I entered the painting. Although the master is good to the girl, it is really a great kindness to have another old man who loves the girl.
This girl of my family has come to the end of all hardships, and for a while, this maid felt emotional.
After Nanny Chang came in, she saw the master and servant wandering outside.
"Girl, the master sent someone to say that he has prepared a banquet to welcome the old man. We are going to go now."
"Okay, let's go then."
Xichun inserted a plum blossom hairpin on her head, and said calmly.
My own girl didn't resist, it really made the two waiters around me breathe a sigh of relief.You know, before returning to this mansion, how much effort did the master spend to soften the girl's attitude.
Unexpectedly, after the master came back, the girl's temper softened a lot.The daughter's temper is too strong, which is really not good.Nanny Chang sighed in her heart, thinking about her future tasks, she sighed.
But she agrees, her daughter's family is too weak, only to be bullied. The thing I have to do now is to let the girl put away this stubbornness and keep it introverted, that's fine.
This meal was peaceful.There were only three masters, and Youshi didn't show up. Her father-in-law was there, and she was the daughter-in-law, so it wasn't easy to show up.
Although it was a reception banquet, there were not many food and drinks, and there was nothing extravagant. They were all Jia Jing's favorite home-cooked dishes in the past, plus a few Xichun's favorites, and the wine was also very soft and pear-blossom white.
After a meal, although the father and daughter rarely talked, Jia Zhen talked a lot on both sides, but was stopped by the eyes of the father and daughter with "you are talking".
It really made Jia Zhen speechless and aggrieved.What is the purpose of my kindness?
hum!Since he didn't have to worry about it himself, he just saved his saliva and energy.
Jia Zhen picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, oh, it's so delicious!
The cooks in the mansion are all trained by him himself, and it really suits my liking!Jia Zhen thought a little bit intoxicated.
This meal was still satisfying to everyone.Of course, that's just the father and son.
The three of them left after eating and drinking.
Jia Jing returned to the capital, which really surprised everyone.Everyone still explored it for a while, but unfortunately, Jia Jing built a quiet room at home, where he ate fast and read the Tao all day long, and never saw outsiders.
Although he returned to Beijing, he was still a monk, and it didn't seem like he was contaminated with the world of mortals. Therefore, it was still Jia Zhen who came out to deal with it.
However, Jia Zhen is not very good at these things. He always feels that there is something in other people's words, but he can't understand it, so he shows a look of "you know, I know".At first, everyone thought that this one was as unpredictable as his father.It's a pity that no matter how Jia Zhen pretended, after three or two times, she showed her original shape.
This Jia Zhen is really an honest person.
This is the unanimous conclusion of everyone. I really don't understand how that old fox Jia Jing has such a stupid son.
However, Jia Zhen's self-satisfied appearance really made Jia Jing and Xichun unable to bear to look directly at her.
Xichun felt very ashamed of her previous judgment that her brother was a smart person, why didn't she realize the essence of her brother?
Could it be that he is also an idiot? This unreliable thought was quickly thrown out of Xichun's mind.Having a stupid brother is already a headache for my father, so I don't want to add to the trouble at all.
After such a leisurely life for a while, Jia Zhen's life began to be difficult again.Gein is now starting to recover the money owed by the treasury!
I don't know how the emperor moved the old emperor. In short, the emperor sent the clan, the official department, and the household department to form a recovery army.
After Jia Zhen heard about this, she broke into a cold sweat from fright, and swears out of her mouth, fuck it!
Hurry up and send someone to the household department to check the accounts. Although Jia Zhen asked him to keep a secret, how can he keep a secret in this limelight?
Therefore, soon someone found out about Jia Zhen's audit of the accounts, but this kind of thing was rumored for some reason, saying that Jia Zhen was going to pay back the money from the treasury.
The emperor was very proud that he had calculated the Jia family a little bit. He naturally knew that Jia Zhen was an honest person. Although such a calculation was not kind, he did not mean to regret it. Who made him have the father of an old fox? .
Furthermore, Jia's mansion is not short of money.According to the emperor's news, once Jia Zhen ransacked her home, it could almost rival her own private treasury.
How jealous!
Jia Zhen listened to the butler's report, her eyes widened, she stretched out her finger tremblingly, and gestured,
"How much money do you think our family owes?"
It seemed that he was a little surprised by his master's reaction, but the butler was still honest and dull,
"300 million taels!"
"How come there are so many?"
Jia Zhen still didn't believe it, she frowned and continued to ask.Hearing this, the housekeeper handed Jia Zhen the list he had copied out at the household department.
Described above in great detail:
In a certain month of a certain year, Ningguo Gong Jiayan borrowed XX amount of silver
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion borrowed xx amount of money
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion borrowed xx amount of silver
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion borrowed XX amount of silver.
Looking at it like this, the original owner, the prodigal son, borrowed the most, and Jia Rong borrowed it piecemeal.
In short, the father and son borrowed almost a million taels.It's really speechless. Looking at it this way, Jia Zhen can only sigh.
"Okay, let's go down. I'll go find the old man."
"Hey, the slave understands. Don't worry too much, master. Let's pay it back slowly."
The housekeeper naturally knew that after paying off the debt, the mansion would be hurt, but "debt repayment" is justified, and I'm afraid there is no way to escape it.
After sighing, Jia Zhen took the note and went to the quiet room in the backyard to complain to her father.
Seeing his son's frowning face, Jia Jing was a little surprised.But after looking at the accounts, he smiled unkindly.
"Now you are in charge of the family, so don't bother me with these things. In short, I believe in you. "
Before Jia Zhen could say anything, she was dismissed by her father in a few words.Jia Zhen was dumbfounded immediately, her father is the real strongman.
Look at the means used.
Jia Zhen had no choice, forget it, let's go to the West Mansion to have a look first, after all, the West Mansion must also owe it, this, he firmly believes.
If not, although Jia Amnesty doesn't care about things, who made his son work in the household department now?
After this incident came out, Jia Lian hurried to find out his family's debts.Looking at the nearly 400 million taels of silver owed, my scalp is really numb.
He is very clear about the situation in the mansion. Although he doesn't know how much his father got from the house raids, after the division of the family, even if all the ancestral property is counted, I'm afraid it's not that much.
After returning home, after Jia Lian changed into big clothes, she took the note and went to Rongxi Hall to ask her father for advice.
For the first time, Jia Lian felt how happy it was to have his father standing in front of him.If this happened to him, he would have to cry to death.
Jia Amnesty is now very contented, after living in Rongxi Hall, he has relaxed a lot, and he doesn't drink much anymore, no matter how much he likes Jinshi more than before.
Jia She was surprised by his son's frowning look.In a hurry, he asked out loud.Hearing Jia Lian's words, he was also dumbfounded.
I really didn't expect that the emperor would still collect debts.
"Father, what are we going to do now?"
Jia Amnesty himself didn't have any big ideas, so he listened to Lin Zhixiao's messenger, saying that it was Master Zhen from the East Mansion who had come.
The father and son looked at each other, and they both seemed to have a heart.Jia Lian went out of the study and went to meet Jia Zhen in person.
Looking at the eager eyes of the father and son, Jia Zhen was taken aback.
"Uncle Pardon, can you check the amount of debts owed by the family?"
"The eldest nephew is here, sit down. We have 400 million taels in our house, what about your house?"
"More than 300 million taels."
After Jia Zhen took a sip of her tea, she said calmly.
"What should I do? In short, the law does not blame the public, so the emperor will not force it?"
Jia Amnesty himself had no idea, so he took a chance and said.
"Uncle Pardon, you must not think about it. Lian'er is currently on duty in the household department, so you should know what the emperor thinks. If you really don't return the money, I'm afraid it will not be good for Lian'er's future."
Jia Zhen persuaded hastily.
"So you have to pay it back?"
Jia Amnesty asked with a feeling of uncertainty.
"Isn't it? I have to pay it back, but how to pay it back is really embarrassing."
Jia Lian also interjected.This time the emperor really made up his mind to clear the debts of the treasury.There is really no way, the power of the whole country, there is no way to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, so the Supreme Emperor
Although he didn't show up, all the teachers sitting in the hall knew about it, so everyone attached great importance to this exam.
After this month, whether it is effective or not depends on the test results this time.For some reason, Jia Zhen became a little excited.
The exams in the morning passed quickly. The exams in the morning were about the Four Books and Five Classics, and the exams in the afternoon were about miscellaneous books.Numerology and the like, many students who are determined to participate in the scientific examination are a little puzzled by the setting of this course in the school, but the patriarch arbitrarily decides what to do, and everyone has nothing to do.
However, both parents and students from poor families feel that this homework is good.They don't expect to be able to pass the imperial examinations, learn some real skills in school, and then go out to find a job as an accountant to support their families.
After the one-hour exam in the afternoon, the morning exam papers are out.After Jia Zhen and the others had lunch, they checked the exam papers together.
There are really a few good grades, but most people have mediocre grades.Jia Zhen was really disappointed.But self-comfort, this is the beginning, take your time.
However, the members of the direct branch are all very good.Especially Jialan and Baoyu.One of these uncles and nephews is talented, the other is hardworking, and their grades are very good.
Furthermore, Jia Cong, who has always been valued by no one, has achieved very good results.Jia Zhen was really surprised.
After the results came down, the matter of rewarding the rankings began.Among the top ten prizes, the Second Household of Rongguo Mansion monopolized three, which really made Jia Zheng extremely proud.
However, Jia Zheng still felt a little bit uncomfortable about the fact that his nephew was not as good as his uncle. Although Baoyu's grades were not bad, compared to Jia Lan, a nephew, he was a bit contemptible.
Compared with Baoyu's ignorance, Jia Lan's calm appearance of a young adult made Jia Zheng even more disheartened.
Although it is not for the sake of giving up Baoyu, he paid more attention to Jia Huan and Jia Lan.
While Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was also somewhat inexplicably lost.It seems that he is a waste snack, and he is very unworthy of the stage.The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Baoyu seemed to be, and the more frequent the messing around with the girls in her room.
Yuan Chun has always regarded his younger brother as his reliance for the rest of his life, but he really didn't expect him to be like this. Although he was disappointed, he still tried his best to teach him a lesson.
Baoyu listened carefully this time, but the effect is not quite clear.However, things will always come to light one day.
Just when Jia's mother thought of a way again and wanted to plan for Yuanchun's future, Xiren in Baoyu's room had a miscarriage.
Now that Baoyu lives in Jiamu's yard, she can't hide this matter from Jiamu. Although Yuanyang and Xiren have a good relationship, they dare not hide such a thing.
Soon, Mother Jia knew the whole story.For Xiren to hide from her and do such scandalous things, it really made Jiamu very angry.
"Go, drag that lowly maid in for me, I want to see how thick her skin is."
Mother Jia's face was sullen, but she looked very calm because of her anger.Yuan Chun on the side had a really ugly face and always looked at Xi Ren as an honest person, so since she returned home, she had always looked at Xi Ren with high regard.
It's a pity that there is such a big mistake now.However, she is a big girl with yellow flowers, and it is a bit embarrassing to appear in such a scene.
However, Yuan Chun has been in the palace for a long time, and this technique of nourishing qi is quite good, nothing can be seen on the surface.
Xiren has been lying on the bed for the past two days, his face is very pale, his eyes are sunken, and he looks more pitiful than before.
But none of the present people had this kind of thought. Mother Jia looked at her kneeling on the ground, with low eyebrows and kind eyes attacking people, and her anger was aroused again.
"Xi Ren, I handed over the second master to you, is this how you take care of me?"
"Old lady, this servant realizes his mistake."
Xiren is also very obedient, knowing the temperament of the old lady.Therefore, without prevarication, I directly kowtowed to admit my mistake.
Jia's mother wanted to send out a thunderous rage to frighten her, but the appearance of Xiren made her even more annoyed.He punched the cotton softly, not only did not calm Jia Mu, but made her even more annoyed.
"Come here, pull this lowly servant girl down for me, beat twenty boards, let all the maids in Baoyu's room go to watch the torture, let them all have a long memory!"
Mother Jia didn't bother to pay any attention to a slave, so she ordered like this.Everyone thought of the kindness that attacked people in the past, and they couldn't bear it. During this action, their deeds were revealed.But Jia's mother felt that attacking people was even more hateful, she pretended to be kind, and was used to being a means of buying people's hearts by these vicious people.
"Hit, hit me hard."
Mother Jia was even more annoyed, and everyone naturally didn't dare to have any other thoughts, even the few people who showed sympathy before us didn't dare to make any more moves.
With a little bit of stiffness, he pulled out Xiren who was still in the confinement period, and started beating in the yard.
Qingwen, Sheyue and the others couldn't help feeling a little "sorrowful for the death of the rabbit", even Qingwen, who was the most at odds with attackers in the past, couldn't help but her eyes were red.
Looking at Xiren who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Qingwen asked the people next to her in a low voice,
"Where did Second Master go?"
"It seems to be in the study in the front yard."
Someone came back with a sound, but I don't know if it was Zhui'er or Xiaohong.Hearing that Baoyu was in the study in the front yard, everyone was desperate to ask for help.
However, Baoyu also caught up. After he did his homework in the study in the front yard, he was held up by Jia Zheng for a few words, and then he sent his son back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the old lady's courtyard, he saw several ferocious women beating someone with a board.
Baoyu didn't pay attention to it, but looked over suddenly, who knew, it was the maids in her yard who surrounded her.
Baoyu was stunned, a trace of ominousness flashed in his heart, and he stepped forward a few steps.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an attacker.
Naturally, everyone also saw Baoyu, and some people showed hope, and their movements of hitting the board slowed down.
"What's going on here?"
Baoyu also has a certain sense of affection, Xiren is his first woman, and the meaning is even more different.
"Second Master Bao, you'd better go back to the house, it's very dirty here, don't..."
A woman stepped forward obsequiously, blocking Baoyu's sight and preventing him from seeing the situation.
"Stop it first, I'm going to ask the old lady for mercy."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to continue.Baoyu didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried into the house.
However, those who were waiting outside were disappointed. After half a day, no one came out to say that it was a plan to avoid the attack.
The wives looked at these young girls who grew up like vice-ladies with dispirited faces, but now they were full of contempt.
I can't see my status clearly, and I don't know that I will die that day.
"Sisters, go ahead."
Several women greeted each other, and then finished the remaining few boards.Then he dragged the attacker and threw him into the woodshed.
Baoyu was also really helpless, the old lady didn't mention anything outside. He wanted to bring up this topic several times, but the old lady didn't answer at all.
Baoyu herself is a little guilty, especially in the close perspective eyes of Jia Mu and Yuan Chun.He could only keep silent.
However, Jia's mother was still worried, she found an old woman, and then entered Baoyu's room.
After hearing the words, the servant girls showed humiliation on their faces, but there were many people who were faintly guilty.
Qingwen snorted coldly, mocking,
"Who is the crow, stand up and don't let everyone suffer together."
After saying this, he looked at Musk Moon's face.Musk Moon was really annoyed by her gaze, but she had a ghost in her heart, so she didn't dare to say much, so she could only turn her head away.Pretend not to see.
"Aunts, hurry up, no one can escape, don't think that you are all the master's grandma, just a few girls."
The nanny's vicious words and eyes really made everyone feel ashamed.But looking at it, there is really no way.
Qingwen herself has no ghosts in her heart, but this kind of thing is really embarrassing, so she can take the lead and stand up.
Everyone knows that she has a strong temper, even that old woman dare not use her as a raft, so they all look at Musk Moon.
Musk Moon had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a few steps forward, and followed the nuns into the inner room.
With this leader, everyone will not be so repulsive.But Musk Moon and the other two were pale, and everyone looked at them with contempt.
The old mother took the three of them to the old lady's house to return to their orders.As for the other few people, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. I really didn't expect that the more honest they looked, the more they would do such dirty things behind their backs. They really answered the sentence, "People should not be judged by appearances." "Are.
Qingwen naturally saw everyone's expressions, snorted coldly, then turned and went in.
But even so, Qingwen was disappointed that the second master didn't have the slightest sense of responsibility as a man.
After hearing the old mother's report, Mother Jia's complexion became ugly, and she squeezed out a few words between her teeth, which made the old mother shiver uncontrollably.
"Pull out those lowly maidservants, call Ren Yazi, and sell them to that kind of place. Don't they love to seduce men, then let them enjoy it for the rest of their lives!"
The old nanny went down trembling...
Jia's mother was alone in this huge room, and she couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
As for Xiren, when he was weak, he received another [-] boards. After staying in the woodshed for half a day, half of his life was lost.
When she woke up again, she was already in a rather dilapidated carriage.The way ahead was unknown, Xiren's eyes darkened, and he passed out again.
Baoyu's room suddenly lost three big girls, and there was a thorny Qingwen left, and everyone's eyes were hot.
But Jia Mu didn't intend to continue to add maids to Baoyu, and Qingwen took care of everything in Baoyu's house.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wang in the Buddhist hall couldn't help cursing again.Looking at Yuan Chun, who is pure-hearted and ascetic, neither sad nor happy.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but cried bitterly while hugging her daughter, her poor daughter!
In fact, Jiamu's outbreak was not a symptom, but was caused by someone's calculation.How much of this was done by the Lin family, no one knows.
As long as Lin Ruhai thought about the rude things after Baoyu came to the door a few days ago, which made his precious daughter cry, he would itch his teeth with hatred.
It's nothing to design him to be beaten up by Jia Zheng, so don't sell the maids in this mansion.Because the servants here in Erfang don't keep their mouths tight.Therefore, everyone soon knew that the second master made the servant girl's belly bigger, and the news that three or five servant girls lost their innocence spread quickly.
After Mother Jia heard the news, she tried to suppress it, but it was too late.For the first time, Mother Jia lost her temper with Yuan Chun, the housekeeper.
Yuan Chun herself was also annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. It was really her own negligence. She admitted her mistake seriously, and also expressed her suspicions. It seemed that someone was manipulating her.The purpose is to destroy Baoyu.
After Jiamu heard this, she immediately turned her doubts to the big room.But after checking and checking, Da Fang didn't move at all.
Jia's mother had no choice but to reward those bad-mouthed women with a board, and the whole family sold them out.
But even so, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Baoyu to say goodbye in the future.It's a small family now, and if something like this happens again, what should I do?
There is only one thing, that is Baoyu's talent and learning make up for it.If he can earn a family background, it will be much easier to talk about marriage in the future.Even Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything wrong.
So, very soon, Baoyu's life became even more difficult. This was only because her father was watching, and even in the inner courtyard, Jia's mother and Yuan Chun also gave advice from time to time.
Baoyu's life at home became more and more depressing, and he also missed the leisure of the past more and more.From time to time, read some Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, etc., for a moment of peace of mind.
No one knows whether this sign is good or bad, but everyone has no intention of stopping it. It's better than him going out to fool around.
In her own room, the maids are also avoiding Second Master Bao, and will no longer talk and laugh carelessly like in the past.
Only Qingwen, who still has the same temperament as before, is even more eloquent than before.
Baoyu originally had a high opinion of Qingwen because of her temperament, but now, she dared not provoke Qingwen once.
Qingwen looked at her second master's appearance, and the disappointment in her heart can be imagined.An attacker left, Musk Moon, but he was not happy at all.
Although she also had those confused thoughts, but now, she just feels very chilling.
Whether I am fighting against Xiren or getting along with each other, it is all because of Second Master Bao. Who knows, he has no responsibility at all?
What a disappointment.Even if it's a few words to satirize the second master Bao to make him feel better, so what?
Looking at the profits in the shop, Jia Zhen really couldn't figure it out. They were just ordinary things, how could they be sold at such a high price?
The shopkeeper in the shop is very happy, his master is indeed the master.Such words of advice made the family earn a lot of money.
"Master, these foreign goods are not very good in the south, but there are not many in the north. Isn't this a good way to give favors?"
After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Jia Zhen understood the world.Of course, no matter what, the money fell into his own hands, so that's fine.
But soon, he couldn't be happy.Jia Jing, the old master in the Taoist temple, asked the little Taoist boys to bring a letter, which wrote some things that made Jia Zhen unable to eat dinner.
He really didn't understand why the old man didn't give up when he had reached this point?
Could it be that he really couldn't understand?But Jia Zhen didn't believe it, "the eldest grandson" is really impossible.
Ming Taizu passed the throne to his grandson, and it all got to that point in the end, not to mention that the grandson didn't get the throne now?
Wanting to rely on the shadow of his father and the pity of the emperor is like overthrowing the current throne and ascending to the throne by himself.
I really don't know what to say, at least the grandson of the emperor is a childish person, but it is true.
However, what Jia Zhen couldn't understand was, how could such a wise old man get involved in such a thing?Could it be that the old man is confused?
But Jia Zhen didn't believe this kind of thing at all, thinking that he would get Yuan Chun out of the palace as soon as he made a move.
After a while, Jia Zhen, who couldn't figure it out, had no choice but to put the matter aside, and go out of the city tomorrow to ask.This old man is not practicing outside the city with a pure heart and asceticism. What's the point of making trouble like this?
With such an inquiring heart, Jia Zhen took Xichun out of the city the next day.Taking Xichun with him is naturally to let the girl meet her father, but more importantly, it means to let Xichun relax.
Although Xichun herself is awkward, it is really a happy event to go out for a walk and relax.
With the maids ready to go out, Xichun was looking forward to it.
On the second day, after breakfast, the two brothers and sisters went out, one riding a horse and the other riding a car.
Along the way, he walked very slowly.Xichun ate the snacks bought by her brother, and looked at the bustle outside through the gauze curtain, which was really interesting.
Thinking of his brother's surprise when he got the shoe purse he made a few days ago, Xichun's heart softened a lot.
No matter what happened before, what he did these days is enough.Thinking of this, Xichun's attitude towards Jia Zhen changed a lot.
For a while, Jia Zhen was flattered.
This trip of the brothers and sisters is more like an outing.After walking for a while, I arrived at the Taoist temple outside the city.
Jia Zhen asked Xichun to accompany Xichun to walk around the Taoist temple to have a look, while she asked someone to bring some food to meet Jia Jing.
Although he is already a person from outside Fang, and he is also a moral character, but Jia Jing is involved in the affairs of the royal family again.It really annoyed Jia Zhen, what the hell is this old man doing.
"Father, what's going on? Can people like us get involved in these things?"
Jia Zhen finally endured the slave to go down, but only complained when she opened her mouth.Jia Jing frowned, a little unhappy.
He didn't think about telling his son these things at all before, it was just because Jia Zhen performed quite well these days that Jia Jing gave birth to some other thoughts.
But who knows, the son's reaction is very different from what he expected.What does it mean that he is so trembling?
Jia Jing frowned, listening to his son's nagging and complaining.After a while, seeing Jia Jing's frown getting tighter, Jia Zhen stopped.
"Father, can you tell your son why?"
"Well, although I know that the matter may not work out, but I have received great kindness from the crown prince before, how can I let it go?"
Jia Jing sighed, and then talked about the past.Seeing Jia Jing's very moved appearance, Jia Zhen was really upset. This was just an act of buying people's hearts by the prince. How could he make her father remember him so many years?Such bloody things can be easily found in a lot of film and television dramas of later generations.
"Father, with your original identity, you were naturally the target of wooing everywhere, and the prince's deeds are also like this. Is it possible that you still can't understand?"
Jia Zhen couldn't help complaining.
"Even though that's the case, he took care of me a lot in my relationship with the crown prince afterwards. Son, people can't just repay their kindness. Now the crown prince only has such a son, how can he not help?"
People tend to be stubborn when they are old, no matter how earnest Jia Zhen is, she has no intention of changing Jia Jing's mind.
Just when Jia Zhen's mood was waning, a turning point came.Although the two of them are considered cautious, and there are people waiting outside, but no one dares to neglect the opinions of the little master Xichun.
Xichun heard that her father threw herself to the West Mansion because she planned a big event for the prince, and even when her mother died, she didn't care much about it.All of a sudden, the fire became very hot, and the little girl made a move that stunned everyone.
Under the shocked eyes of the slaves outside, Xichun stretched out her foot and kicked open the door.Jia Jing and his son were shocked, they looked out hastily, and saw Xichun's angry face.
The little girl's eyes were red, and she stubbornly did not intend to cry, but it made Jia Zhen feel even more distressed.
"Sister, what's the matter? Could it be that someone bullied you?"
When Jia Zhen said this, Xichun felt even more wronged.The tears just now fell down "tick-tock".
"Sister, sister, don't cry. If you have something to tell brother, can brother vent your anger on you?"
Jia Zhen hurriedly said.Jia Jing was already stunned. Since she was a baby, Jia Jing has never seen her daughter's face again. Now this little girl who looks exactly like his wife is his daughter?
"You left me just for those illusory glory?"
The little girl ignored Jia Zhen, stared blankly at Jia Jing, and asked.
"No, no, no..."
Jia Jing himself hastily waved his hands and refused, but his words were messy and incoherent, not convincing at all.
"Then why have you been hiding outside the city these past few years, leaving me in the West Mansion, and never looking at me?"
He continued to frown and asked, obviously, Jia Jing didn't know his daughter well, his daughter's temper was not at all like his own, but she was [-]% like his wife.
"Well, I, I, I was going back to the mansion, but, but not yet..."
"That's fine. We'll wait for you at the mansion. After three days, I'll ask my brother to send someone to pick you up. If you don't come back, then I will ignore you for the rest of my life."
She didn't care about Jia Jing's lies, and took the words directly.
Jia Zhen praised her sister from the side, she was too tough.Then, while Jia Zhen was in a daze, she was dragged out of the Taoist temple by Xichun in a daze, and got on her horse to go back.
In vain, a very disappointed Jia Jing was left behind, but thinking of his daughter's indifferent words, he really didn't dare. If his daughter really ignored him for the rest of his life, what should he do?
It would have been okay if we hadn't met, but after meeting this time, Jia Jing couldn't let go of it at all. This daughter, no matter in appearance or temperament, was carved out of the same mold as Fa's wife.
Especially the way she was so strong that she didn't shed tears really aroused the guilt in Jia Jing's heart.
Because of the crown prince's great cause, he owed too much to his family.Even the son, he was neglected in discipline, which made him grow into the current picture of incapable of writing and incompetent in martial arts.
The more Jia Jing thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and continued to want to move back to Beijing that night.But thinking about what happened to the emperor's grandson.
He calmed down. Fortunately, he hadn't shown himself in these years, so it was easy to get out.
Soon, the Taoist temple outside the city was on fire because of alchemy, and everything was burned up in one fire.
Only one master, Jia Jing, escaped, and none of the other Taoist boys and priests who practiced escaped. More than [-] lives were lost!
But a very strange thing happened, no one came out to investigate whether it was Jingzhao Yamen or Wucheng Bingma Sidi.
Jia Jing rode a rough horse back to Beijing.
Only one day has passed since Xichun's three days. After hearing the servant's report, Jia Zhen hurried to the gate of the mansion. Seeing her father's indifferent attitude, her jaw almost dropped. .
Seeing his son's hopeless appearance, Jia Jing rewarded him with a chestnut.Jia Zhen rubbed her forehead, and hurriedly welcomed her father into the house with a bit of embarrassment.
I wanted to let my father live in the main courtyard, but unfortunately, Jia Jing was not impatient with that.So he found a random yard in the mansion and lived in it.
Seeing his awkward look, Jia Zhen couldn't help snickering again.This place is obviously the closest to my sister's yard, okay?
Xichun listened to Ruhua's words, saying that the old man in the mansion had returned, and was watching her girl's expression.Although Xichun's face was still calm, she could still see that the girl was very happy.
Seeing this, I felt a lot more relieved when I entered the painting. Although the master is good to the girl, it is really a great kindness to have another old man who loves the girl.
This girl of my family has come to the end of all hardships, and for a while, this maid felt emotional.
After Nanny Chang came in, she saw the master and servant wandering outside.
"Girl, the master sent someone to say that he has prepared a banquet to welcome the old man. We are going to go now."
"Okay, let's go then."
Xichun inserted a plum blossom hairpin on her head, and said calmly.
My own girl didn't resist, it really made the two waiters around me breathe a sigh of relief.You know, before returning to this mansion, how much effort did the master spend to soften the girl's attitude.
Unexpectedly, after the master came back, the girl's temper softened a lot.The daughter's temper is too strong, which is really not good.Nanny Chang sighed in her heart, thinking about her future tasks, she sighed.
But she agrees, her daughter's family is too weak, only to be bullied. The thing I have to do now is to let the girl put away this stubbornness and keep it introverted, that's fine.
This meal was peaceful.There were only three masters, and Youshi didn't show up. Her father-in-law was there, and she was the daughter-in-law, so it wasn't easy to show up.
Although it was a reception banquet, there were not many food and drinks, and there was nothing extravagant. They were all Jia Jing's favorite home-cooked dishes in the past, plus a few Xichun's favorites, and the wine was also very soft and pear-blossom white.
After a meal, although the father and daughter rarely talked, Jia Zhen talked a lot on both sides, but was stopped by the eyes of the father and daughter with "you are talking".
It really made Jia Zhen speechless and aggrieved.What is the purpose of my kindness?
hum!Since he didn't have to worry about it himself, he just saved his saliva and energy.
Jia Zhen picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, oh, it's so delicious!
The cooks in the mansion are all trained by him himself, and it really suits my liking!Jia Zhen thought a little bit intoxicated.
This meal was still satisfying to everyone.Of course, that's just the father and son.
The three of them left after eating and drinking.
Jia Jing returned to the capital, which really surprised everyone.Everyone still explored it for a while, but unfortunately, Jia Jing built a quiet room at home, where he ate fast and read the Tao all day long, and never saw outsiders.
Although he returned to Beijing, he was still a monk, and it didn't seem like he was contaminated with the world of mortals. Therefore, it was still Jia Zhen who came out to deal with it.
However, Jia Zhen is not very good at these things. He always feels that there is something in other people's words, but he can't understand it, so he shows a look of "you know, I know".At first, everyone thought that this one was as unpredictable as his father.It's a pity that no matter how Jia Zhen pretended, after three or two times, she showed her original shape.
This Jia Zhen is really an honest person.
This is the unanimous conclusion of everyone. I really don't understand how that old fox Jia Jing has such a stupid son.
However, Jia Zhen's self-satisfied appearance really made Jia Jing and Xichun unable to bear to look directly at her.
Xichun felt very ashamed of her previous judgment that her brother was a smart person, why didn't she realize the essence of her brother?
Could it be that he is also an idiot? This unreliable thought was quickly thrown out of Xichun's mind.Having a stupid brother is already a headache for my father, so I don't want to add to the trouble at all.
After such a leisurely life for a while, Jia Zhen's life began to be difficult again.Gein is now starting to recover the money owed by the treasury!
I don't know how the emperor moved the old emperor. In short, the emperor sent the clan, the official department, and the household department to form a recovery army.
After Jia Zhen heard about this, she broke into a cold sweat from fright, and swears out of her mouth, fuck it!
Hurry up and send someone to the household department to check the accounts. Although Jia Zhen asked him to keep a secret, how can he keep a secret in this limelight?
Therefore, soon someone found out about Jia Zhen's audit of the accounts, but this kind of thing was rumored for some reason, saying that Jia Zhen was going to pay back the money from the treasury.
The emperor was very proud that he had calculated the Jia family a little bit. He naturally knew that Jia Zhen was an honest person. Although such a calculation was not kind, he did not mean to regret it. Who made him have the father of an old fox? .
Furthermore, Jia's mansion is not short of money.According to the emperor's news, once Jia Zhen ransacked her home, it could almost rival her own private treasury.
How jealous!
Jia Zhen listened to the butler's report, her eyes widened, she stretched out her finger tremblingly, and gestured,
"How much money do you think our family owes?"
It seemed that he was a little surprised by his master's reaction, but the butler was still honest and dull,
"300 million taels!"
"How come there are so many?"
Jia Zhen still didn't believe it, she frowned and continued to ask.Hearing this, the housekeeper handed Jia Zhen the list he had copied out at the household department.
Described above in great detail:
In a certain month of a certain year, Ningguo Gong Jiayan borrowed XX amount of silver
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion borrowed xx amount of money
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion borrowed xx amount of silver
……
In a certain month of a certain year, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion borrowed XX amount of silver.
Looking at it like this, the original owner, the prodigal son, borrowed the most, and Jia Rong borrowed it piecemeal.
In short, the father and son borrowed almost a million taels.It's really speechless. Looking at it this way, Jia Zhen can only sigh.
"Okay, let's go down. I'll go find the old man."
"Hey, the slave understands. Don't worry too much, master. Let's pay it back slowly."
The housekeeper naturally knew that after paying off the debt, the mansion would be hurt, but "debt repayment" is justified, and I'm afraid there is no way to escape it.
After sighing, Jia Zhen took the note and went to the quiet room in the backyard to complain to her father.
Seeing his son's frowning face, Jia Jing was a little surprised.But after looking at the accounts, he smiled unkindly.
"Now you are in charge of the family, so don't bother me with these things. In short, I believe in you. "
Before Jia Zhen could say anything, she was dismissed by her father in a few words.Jia Zhen was dumbfounded immediately, her father is the real strongman.
Look at the means used.
Jia Zhen had no choice, forget it, let's go to the West Mansion to have a look first, after all, the West Mansion must also owe it, this, he firmly believes.
If not, although Jia Amnesty doesn't care about things, who made his son work in the household department now?
After this incident came out, Jia Lian hurried to find out his family's debts.Looking at the nearly 400 million taels of silver owed, my scalp is really numb.
He is very clear about the situation in the mansion. Although he doesn't know how much his father got from the house raids, after the division of the family, even if all the ancestral property is counted, I'm afraid it's not that much.
After returning home, after Jia Lian changed into big clothes, she took the note and went to Rongxi Hall to ask her father for advice.
For the first time, Jia Lian felt how happy it was to have his father standing in front of him.If this happened to him, he would have to cry to death.
Jia Amnesty is now very contented, after living in Rongxi Hall, he has relaxed a lot, and he doesn't drink much anymore, no matter how much he likes Jinshi more than before.
Jia She was surprised by his son's frowning look.In a hurry, he asked out loud.Hearing Jia Lian's words, he was also dumbfounded.
I really didn't expect that the emperor would still collect debts.
"Father, what are we going to do now?"

"More than 300 million taels."
