Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

Chapter 19 Jia Zheng's Worries

It is boring to hear too much trivial things, and new things do not come out every day.Except for farming, farming and reading, the old lady can persist in other things (especially playing things) and basically can't persist in enthusiasm for a few years.Every time she plays with those things, she just occasionally plays with them freshly.In a few days, she will definitely think that farming is not as interesting as farming!Then just give up.

Therefore, people who knew her said that she was exhausted!If you have something to enjoy, you will not enjoy it.What a fool!

Just like now, it's hard for her to listen to the gossip for so long!Who made Leng Annawa so funny?One person plays multiple roles, and even the tone of voice has evolved to learn what it looks like.Even so, you can't listen to it every day.Although, a lot of information can be heard from these gossips.It's just that some of the information is useful and some is not.

It is said that men these days have three wives and four concubines, even the original husband is the same.And the house fighting experience of the original body memory is fighting with those aunts, Tongfang and so on.The concubines were also married off by the old lady like a servant.The dowry or something is really pitifully small.

And those concubines have not been in contact with the mansion since they got married.It is conceivable that the day will be good?

Now, there is nothing to worry about at home. The old lady is very concerned about what can be corrected and what should be corrected.

Corrected.

Those who couldn't be corrected, such as the Jia Wang family in the Buddhist hall, still wanted to find opportunities to ventilate with the Wang family every day.She spared no effort to lure the two nuns who were guarding her in the Buddhist hall with money.The two nuns watched the old lady beat up the naughty Zhao nanny to pieces, and then sold them to the black coal mine.Even their families were sent out of the house together!

Both of them are family-born children, and the whole family is very loyal.Although they are just slaves, but under the protection of the Jia family, their lives are much better than those of the farmers.Even if you go out, you can't be bullied by others at will.

It would be different if you were kicked out.Even if the slave who was kicked out by the master had to sell himself, no one would buy it!With no work to do, no fields and no land, how can they live on?

You said the money given by the second wife?I'm afraid they don't even have a chance to spend, let alone hurt their family members!They would not do this kind of thing that stealing chickens is not worth a handful of rice, and it would be better to report it to the old lady.

The old lady's face turned dark after hearing what Nanny Qian and Nanny Li said!Shen Sheng said to the two nuns:

"You continue to watch her. Next time you come to tell us, you can't both come. I'm afraid that once you two leave, she will provoke the maids outside again. You must leave at least one of you watching her. Go back and continue Look at her, if there is something strange, come and tell me again."

After speaking, he asked Yuanyang to reward them and let them go down.

Jia Amnesty at the side trembled when he heard what the two nuns said.When the two nuns went down, Jia Amnesty said to the old lady:

"Mother, the Wang family of Jia, seems to think that we are jealous of the Wang family."

The old lady thought for a while and said:

"In two months, the family will be out of filial piety. At that time, I will invite your uncle to separate us. Let the second room move out, out of sight and out of mind. If she wants to make trouble, let her have enough trouble, It will have nothing to do with us."

"Is this okay? It's really not good, it's better to let the second brother divorce him."

"It's nothing good or bad, otherwise we can let her destroy our Jia family? See how long she has been in charge, and she can sell our family's ancestral land. According to Zhou Rui's family, the Wang family I have plans to put money away. Is it possible to do that kind of thing of cutting off children and grandchildren? But she wants to do it. Soliciting money is not such a way! She is hard to say if she is going to divorce, we can't tell the outside about that woman What, how about it? One more thing, if we really divorced that woman, the Wang family would really become enemies with our family."

"Isn't it?"

"Why not? The Wang family is not just a daughter of the Jia Wang family. If the Jia Wang family divorces our family, the other daughters will probably be greatly affected. Can they become enemies?"

After finishing speaking, the old lady suddenly thought that she seemed to have heard her granddaughter say that the Jia family still owes the treasury money!This, she didn't know very clearly, Jia Daishan should have told Jia She, right?Asked instead:

"Xie'er, does our family still owe money to the treasury?"

"How does mother know?" Jia Amnesty asked reflexively in shock.He knew it, and his father told him about it, but he didn't tell his mother.

The old lady's mouth twitched when she heard Jia She's question, and she didn't know how to answer.She can't say "I heard from my granddaughter in modern times that she reads some novels in the Red Chamber", right?That's not living impatiently, what is it?After a while, the old lady said:

"I also overheard your father mentioning it once. I forgot it afterwards. It wasn't about the separation of the family. I didn't think of it. By the way, how much money do we still owe the treasury?"

Thinking of what his father told him on his deathbed, Jia She felt a little heavy in his heart, thinking that he was really ignorant before.Not to mention establishing a career, there is no achievement at all.Somewhat uncomfortable replied:

"This, that, I still owe more than 70 taels of silver. My father said that I will pay back 5 taels a year, and it will be finished in about 16 years."

"Our family, the public school, after checking those slaves last time, how much silver do we have left now?"

"There are 15 taels of gold and about 100 million taels of silver. We have to check to find out."

"In this case, we will pay back all the silver owed after we are filial, and then we will divide the family. You first write a booklet to the emperor, saying that it is for your father's last wish."

"This, how do I pay it back?"

The old lady began to recall some plots in fanfiction that her granddaughter told her that she had read, and after a while, she said:

"If we return it all at once, the Holy Majesty may still be suspicious. Let's first take some valuable but useless items in the warehouse to the pawnshop for work, and collect some scattered bank notes. The money in the national treasury should be quietly returned to the Holy One. You signed the note, and when the Holy Lord summoned you, you put the bank note on it, and then you will get the IOU. It is not appropriate to let others know about this, but you Uncle still has to say something."

"Then, after the obedience is over, the son will give the holy book."

"In the past few days, let's look at the items in the warehouse that can be pawned and choose them. By the way, does our family have a pawn shop?"

"No."

"It's okay, let's estimate that the pawned thing is worth 50 million yuan, and the family will pay a small half, so as to avoid suspicion from the Holy One."

"Mother, let's go pawn, will the mansion be ridiculed by outsiders?"

"Other people like to laugh or not, so why bother? Let's be debt-free and light-hearted."

"What the mother said is very true. It is the son who has a picture."

Neither the mother nor the son are procrastinators, especially the old lady, who can't even sleep well if she has something to solve!

The next day, the mother and son took Mrs. Zhang and Jia Zheng to the warehouse to check, and picked out a bunch of items that they didn't think were very useful.

Jia Zheng didn't know what the old lady and elder brother were going to do with picking out such a bunch of things. Although he was full of doubts, he couldn't ask right away.You can only choose together and evaluate together.

It wasn't until later that they picked everything up and put it together.Suddenly I heard elder brother Jia She said to the old lady:

"Mom, these can already make up more than 50 taels!"

"Mother, brother, are you...?"

In the end, when he heard that he was going to pawn things to pay back the money, Jia Zheng felt for the first time: So their house looks glamorous on the outside, but the inside is not as glamorous as the outside.

It seems that if those disciples ask too much, they really can't afford it.

It can be said that this is the first time that Jia Zheng has the idea that the family does not have so much money. Their second room is now living in Lixiangyuan.According to the old lady, when the family gets rid of the clothes, I am afraid that the family will be separated.

Now, once the money is returned to the national treasury, how much of the family's savings will be left for them?I don't know if the old lady will move out of the general's mansion by herself.If he moved out, he was only a small official of the sixth grade, and his savings were not much, so there would be no one else... Thinking of this, Jia Zheng became extremely depressed...

And Jia Zheng had such an idea, it was the old lady's plan in advance to make Jia Zheng feel a little nervous about money, not to say that taking money can take money casually.This is what the old lady wanted.
