[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

But Mrs. Wang, who said she had to move out of Rongguo Mansion, heard Jia Zhu say that she wanted to clean up the slaves brought to Jia's mansion, and felt that all of them were for her own use, and she didn't want to clear any of them.

But her private house is too small, and Mrs. Wang herself does not believe that it was not stolen by those servants.Therefore, I had no choice but to ask Jia Zhu for advice, hoping that the eldest son, who was becoming more and more considerate, could give him some advice.Jia Zhu didn't refuse, and directly spoke out the truth.

"My wife knows that we didn't get a tael of silver from the mansion, so we can't talk about the ostentation in the mansion." Jia Zhu first set a tone: "So the servants who serve here should be reduced as much as possible. "

That's right, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale when she heard this. Not only did she not get any money from the public, but her private house was also reduced by [-] to [-]%, and the rest were only fields and shops.I thought Jia Mu could quietly subsidize some, but who knew that Jia Zheng had given Jia Mu a stroke again, now who in Beijing does not say that Jia Zheng is not filial?As an official, he doesn't know how long he can do it.

No official, no money, not to mention the fourth prince, even my own brother would ignore my family, it's all unknown - when the family was separated, my brother was clearly present, but he didn't say a word for her, Mrs. Wang didn't know that.There is also that Feng girl, who usually circles around her all the time, and when the news of the separation of the family comes out, there is not even a single person, so it can be seen that she is also a white-eyed wolf.

Looking at her face, Jia Zhu knew that she had figured it out, and continued: "Not only the servants who serve, but also the rules for food, clothing and flowers of the masters can no longer be the same as those in the mansion."

Mrs. Wang's cries filled the inner room at once. Caiyun drew up the curtain and was about to approach the room to persuade her, but Jia Zhu gave her a sharp look and said, "I'm so lucky to guard the porch. No one is allowed to come in unless asked." Caiyun said The curtain was lowered without saying a word, and the sound of closing the door was heard after a while.

Jia Zhu then talked to Mrs. Wang in detail about how the rules should be set up in the newly moved house, how the personnel should be divided, how the distribution should be done, and so on, as if he had considered this matter many times. In fact, it was just the rules in Zhang Cuihua's house in the previous life.

Mrs. Wang, who knew how much money she had, felt desolate and understandable about this arrangement, but Jia Zheng completely went berserk.

What, his dignified second master actually has to dismiss the Qing customers, and has to live on his own salary?Girl, oh, he doesn't have a girl, but Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhou's girls have to be reduced by half, and even the rough envoy's wife has to be cut accordingly. Then the master has entered the inner house, who else can use it?

There is no money to make trouble here, it is clearly Wang's mother and Jia Zhu's mother who took revenge on herself!The furious Jia Zheng held up the majesty of being the head of the family, and rushed towards Jia Zhu, trying to beat Jia Zhu and say that he would not dismiss his cleanups and reduce his servants.

Unexpectedly, the outstretched slap was directly held by Jia Zhu, unable to slap it out or retract it.Jia Zheng's eyeballs almost popped out, this bastard, he dared to resist: "Bold, you are rebellious!"

Jia Zhu contemptuously threw Jia Zheng's hand aside, staggered Jia Zheng, and said what he said was no worse than a knife: "Master thinks that if he doesn't dismiss the clearers, those people will stay if they don't have money to pay." How many days? If the slaves in the mansion are not cut down, what will be used to feed them, and what will be used to send them monthly money?"

The sudden silence made the atmosphere in the room very awkward.

Jia Zheng, who had always been silent about money, remembered that Jia Amnesty was still begging for Jia Mu's private house from him, so he couldn't say a word, so he angrily scolded Mrs. Wang: "You are a good son." outside study.

Regardless of whether this good son Mrs. Wang can be born alone, Jia Zhu's idea was carried out in a leisurely manner with Mrs. Wang's support.No matter how dissatisfied Aunt Zhao was, how unhappy Jia Zheng was, and how Li Wan complained, they all chose to keep their mouths shut because they couldn't afford money to supplement the expenses of the house.

After cleaning up the servants in the mansion, there were only seventy to eighty servants left in the Xinjia Mansion, no more than the two servants used by Zhang Cuihua and Yingchun mother and daughter in the previous life.Jia Zhu felt that enough was enough, and he didn't care whether these few slaves could withstand the chaos when the palace chaos happened again in the future.In his opinion, for a group of pig teammates who are dragging their feet, it would be humane to do nothing to let them be destroyed humanely. If the chaos soldiers help him, it is a wish.

Now Jia Zhu came to Rongguo Mansion again, he came to ask Jia She to take [-]% of his property.Jia Amnesty did not hide any secrets, and showed Jia Zhu all the ledgers in the mansion, and it was up to him to choose whether he wanted money, land, or decorations.

Jia Zhu chose to ask for silver, and also bought a two-entry house in Dongcheng. The obvious reason was that the silver belonged to him and could not be sent to Xinjia's mansion.Jia Amnesty chose to believe everything he said, and even told Jia Zhu that he would let someone transport the money quietly, so Jia Zhu didn't need to worry about carrying it.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jia Amnesty asked after the settlement with Jia Zhu was clear, as an uncle's caring nephew.

Jia Zhu's answer was not unexpected: "I have always been unable to carry my shoulders or hands, so I had to continue studying."

Jia Amnesty didn't believe it when he heard this: "Didn't Imperial Physician Wang say that you can't worry about it in the future, and you can hold on if you study again?"

Jia Zhu smiled wryly: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. I'm the eldest son of Erfang, so I can't just watch Erfang fall."

What Jia Amnesty said was to see whether Jia Zhu believed it or not, but he couldn't see the slightest clue, so he had to change the topic: "That Jia Baoyu?"

Jia Zhu smiled sincerely this time: "The old lady loves him like an eyeball, and he wants to be filial in front of the old lady. The old lady has a lot of private houses, and she can't even afford to support a grandson." , and don’t need the old man to spend money. Our house is too small now, and I’m afraid he won’t be used to living in it when he goes back.”

He is a ruthless man!Jia She secretly hated himself for not having the courage back then, which prevented Jia Zheng from stepping into the Rongguo Mansion.But what needs to be clarified has to be clarified: "The old lady's private house is really gone."

Jia Zhu glanced at Jia She with a half-smile: "How many things our master has, we can still find out after this move."

Jia Amnesty, who was speaking, also became puzzled: "Could it be that some servant was bold and secretly stole the old lady's things?" After speaking, he found that Jia Zhu still looked at him with a half-smile, knowing that he didn't believe it, and also knew that it was difficult for him to be accused of this crime. Washed off, anxious to swear.

Jia Zhu shook her head: "The Eldest Man can do whatever he wants. We don't even want the family property after the separation, so how can we care about the old lady's private house? Those things belong to the old lady after all, and the old lady can give them to whomever she wants. As long as Baoyu doesn't cause trouble for the old lady." That stone, let Mother Jia take care of it.

Seeing that Jia Zhu didn't even invite An'an, Jia She complained again in his heart that the old lady was acting too biased and shouldn't have stimulated Jia Zhu so much that even the word filial piety could not suppress Jia now. pearls.

Why should I be suppressed for half my life?Jia Amnesty became ruthless, and just did what Jia Zhu wanted, and let Jia Baoyu make a fuss in the Rongqing Hall without saying a word.If he left the Rongqing Hall, he would send a few rough envoys to surround him without saying a word, just follow Jia Baoyu wherever he went, the boy couldn't bear it and went back to Rongqing Hall.

After a long time, Jia Baoyu really didn't want to leave Rongqing Hall, and felt that only being with the sisters in Rongqing Hall was the only way to live a life.If you don't go out of Rongqing Hall, you naturally don't go out of the house.The second room moved to the new house for more than two months, and he didn't even invite Mrs. Wang once.

Jia Zheng came to greet Jia Mu, but it was a pity that when Jia Baoyu saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was afraid that he would ask himself if he had studied, how he learned, etc., and it was not enough to deal with Jia Zheng with all his attention. , how can I ask Mrs. Wang and others how?

Even if he didn't ask, Jia Zheng would never tell Mrs. Wang about it after he returned to the mansion. After several visits, Mrs. Wang was not disappointed-it was his son who was conceived in October and gave birth to a great fortune. The mother-in-law with a broken leg didn't even ask, Madam Wang didn't want to lie to her because Jia's mother didn't allow it, and Jia Baoyu didn't go back to the house to see her.

Comparing the two, Mrs. Wang felt that Jia Zhu, the eldest son, was more valuable. Although he was the first to say that he would not need property after dividing the family, it was to cover up his guilt.Although his leg failed to straighten because of his pressure, it was also an unintentional mistake of his long illness and weakness.

If it weren't for Jia Zhu's presence, maybe Jia Amnesty would really report to the officials, and even if he didn't go to the prison in Shuntian Mansion, he wouldn't need his reputation.If the money is gone, you can think of a way. If the reputation is gone, no one will believe you want to make money.

With this level of knowledge, Mrs. Wang became more and more dependent on Jia Zhu. As a result, Mrs. Wang used the connection between herself and Wang Ziteng, the amount of money in and out over the years, and what she did for the fourth prince. Tell Jia Zhu everything.

Mrs. Wang is walking around now and then, and finds that her left leg is really lame, and she will not be able to go out to socialize in the future, so she wants Jia Zhu to act as a contact between herself and Wang Ziteng.In other words, he wanted Jia Zhu to surpass Jia Zheng and become a follower of the new fourth prince, which showed how disappointed he was with Jia Zheng.

The Wang family's enthusiasm for power once again opened Jia Zhu's eyes: they have left the Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang is still looking forward to the success of the dragon, which can be regarded as a strong body and a strong mind.He immediately followed Mrs. Wang's request and went to Wang's house to pay a visit to Wang Ziteng, but instead of delivering a message for Mrs. Wang, he told Wang Ziteng that now Mrs. Wang's health is failing, and there is no money in his house, so he will not be able to give it to the fourth prince in the future. Worked.

Wang Ziteng couldn't wait to hear this sentence - when Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were at the Rongguo Mansion's home, they often used him to win the favor of the fourth prince. If they had no money now, they would kick him away. It is really hard to win the hearts of the fourth prince unfavorable.

However, if Jia Zhengming walked in the Ministry of Industry under the banner of the fourth prince's party feathers, both the fourth prince and Wang Ziteng felt unwilling.Without him, Jia Zheng is really a person who doesn't know how to be low-key and flexible. Others stand in line quietly, but he is the only one who has stood in front of everyone.

Now that Jia Zhu took the initiative to say that he would not work for the fourth prince, Wang Ziteng didn't even need to ask the fourth prince for instructions, so he decided to agree, and even generously took out a few bank notes, saying that it was for Mrs. Wang to buy supplements. .

Jia Zhu didn't think it was humiliating to accept the silver ticket, but thanked Wang Ziteng very solemnly, and then went back to the mansion to tell Jia Zheng that the fourth prince asked Wang Ziteng to send a message to Jia Zheng, telling him not to use the fourth prince again in the future. The doormen call themselves.

This is a great shame to Jia Zheng!

Self-proclaimed as a scholar, Jia Zheng refused to go face to face with the fourth prince or Wang Ziteng for verification, and his desire for power made him hope that what Jia Zhu said was a lie, and hoped that Wang Ziteng would be like before in a few days Similarly, Mrs. Wang conveyed the instructions of the fourth prince to him.

Whether asking for money or walking among officials, Jia Zheng had already made up his mind that he would no longer be reserved, and he would agree immediately.

But no, waited for more than half a month, not once.Jia Zheng had to believe that what Jia Zhu said was the truth, the fourth prince was like most ordinary people who looked down on others, thinking that he moved away from Rongguo Mansion, just a fifth-rank official with no money in his hands, It's not worth their dealings.

Jia Zheng was extremely angry, and he lashed out at the fourth prince's ungratefulness, insinuating, borrowing the past to satirize the present, etc. He was very skillful in using methods, whether it was in the Ministry of Industry or in meetings with others, he was the one who vented his anger. A good place to be angry with yourself.

At the beginning, there were still people who joined him, but gradually Jia Zheng stopped receiving posts from the Wenhui.Once again, he made a lot of nonsense in the Ministry of Industry, Zuo Shilang, who was in charge of the Qing History Department, personally called him to his office.

It's not that Jia Zheng hasn't worked hard in his official affairs these days, but unfortunately, he's been an idler in the Ministry of Industry these years, and the official affairs entrusted to him always have to be done again, so his so-called hard work is to cause trouble for others.

Others thought it was adding to the chaos, but Jia Zheng felt completely opposite. He felt that he was sharing the worries of his boss and solving problems for his colleagues. He understood Zuo Shilang to summon him suddenly, and understood that his great achievements these days had been seen by Mr. Shilang. Praise yourself or burden yourself.

After thinking about it for a while, when the Minister of the Minister praised himself, how should he modestly express that he could do more, and how would he express his determination if he put a burden on him? The job title: "Jia Zheng, the head of the Department of History and History of the Qing Dynasty, please see Mr. Zuo Shilang."

"Come in." Lord Zuo Shilang's voice was flat, not the kind of enthusiasm that he heard the person he wanted to see very much.

Jia Zheng couldn't tell. He didn't see Mr. Zuo Shilang very often, so he straightened his official robe when he heard Rang Jin.After a while, when no one opened the curtain for him, he thought he was just a lowly official. Seeing that he was lowered, the little official dog next to him impatiently tore off a purse from his waist, and handed it condescendingly to the little official, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. A trace of a proud smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

No matter how nice the words are with this face of appreciating a slave, the little official is also greeting his eight generations of ancestors in his heart.With the idea of ​​being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, the little official took the purse, but his chin was still raised high, and he didn't mean to curry favor with Jia Zheng at all.

Jia Zheng was so angry, he was just about to get angry, when he heard the voice of Mr Zuo Shilang inside, he was already impatient: "Why don't you come in?"

Let it go, he is just a petty official, after a while he will be reused by Mr. Zuo Shilang, it will not be too late to deal with him.If I could convince Master Zuo Shilang, I would be able to calm down my heart by directly firing him.

Jia Zheng felt that he was valued by Zuo Shilang, so it was not difficult to ask him to fire a small official.With such thoughts in mind, Jia Zheng entered the room, saluted the official left servant, and asked with a smile, "I don't know why my lord summoned me to be an official?"

The attitude is very detailed and respectful, and the tone is also very respectful, but he should not have started this remark.Zuo Shilang frowned into a knot, this Jia Zheng, do you still think he is the head of the Rongguo Mansion?When the lower official came to see the upper official, which one didn't he just wait for the upper official's order after asking An to say hello, but he was lucky enough to ask himself what the upper official asked him for.

As a Shangguan, I'm in a bad mood and I've called you here to scold you. Is there any reason?

Zuo Shilang, who had already been ordered by the fourth prince, felt that he understood why the fourth prince gave such an order, and his face was so heavy that he could no longer sink: "I heard that you have been very dissatisfied with the fourth prince these few days, and you have insulted the fourth prince several times. Prince?"

No matter how ignorant Jia Zheng is in common affairs, he also knows that as a courtier, he can have opinions on the prince, but insulting him is absolutely unacceptable.No matter how serious he is to the fourth prince, he only dares to insinuate when venting his anger on weekdays, and dare not blatantly mention the name of the fourth prince.

"I don't know who the servant has heard the rumors from, but the lower officials don't dare."

"You don't dare? You dare!" Zuo Shilang had long thought that Jia Zheng would make an excuse, and slapped the book case viciously: "When you talked with XX, XX, did you say that there is a famous history, the son of a beloved concubine, Is it often the head of disaster for the country? I have also discussed with so-and-so and so-and-so that although Huangtai melon is rare, but the tree has a diseased branch and should be cut down? Who is the favorite concubine you are talking about, and who is the diseased branch?"

Jia Zheng's face turned pale. Those who were pointed out by Zuo Shilang were all people who were close to him on weekdays and felt that they could tell each other their chests, but they would turn to Zuo Shilang... No, it was to the fourth prince. Whistleblower!

These treacherous villains!Jia Zheng's eyes were bleeding so fast, how could he be so treacherous and perverted, he said to the left servant with a pale face: "My lord, please be clear, this official is not alluding to the fourth prince."

After just saying a word, he stopped calling himself, Zuo Shilang felt that he had no sense of accomplishment, so he simply said: "You know who you are alluding to, and others are not fools, and they will run with you to the dark. The fourth prince doesn't care about you, but I can't let you disturb the atmosphere of the Ministry of Industry by yourself. You'd better go home and rest for a few days, and figure out where your mistakes are before you come back."

Jia Zheng's whole body was about to collapse, but he thought he had caught Zuo Shilang's speech error: "The Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry of the Saint, not your Ministry of Industry, Mr. Zuo Shilang. I will go to the Saint to join you and form a party in the Ministry of Industry for personal gain. , repelling dissidents."

So bold.Zuo Shilang was already impatient to distinguish with him: "Please, when Mr. Jia will see the saint, please join me and I will tell you at the court meeting with you. Get out!" The last two words were extremely impatient and angry, and the one who refused just now The little official who opened the curtain for Jia Zheng entered the public room in response, raised his chin high and said to Jia Zheng, "Master Jia, please."

Please, where can I ask?After Jia Zheng returned to his private room, he turned his poisonous eyes around the few people that Zuo Shilang had pointed out just now, but they didn't pay a single glance.Back in the mansion, I thought that I should go to Wang Ziteng for help, but found that when I alluded to the fourth prince, I often took my uncle with me.

In the next few days, Jia Zheng frantically ran around the house that he thought could help him play the left servant, but either the master was not at home or the master was out to meet guests.Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou are his cousins, and they have met, but they both said that they don't know any censors, and they can't find anyone who can play for Jia Zheng.

Madam Wang received a letter sent by Wang Ziteng. In the letter, she warned Madam Wang that if she didn't persuade Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng would not only think about it at home, but even those in the palace. In Yuanchun, whether he can survive or not is between two choices.

Mrs. Wang's leg has been raised for a hundred days, but her left leg is lame, and she can no longer go out to socialize in the future. Now she received a letter from Wang Ziteng, and she suddenly became angry: Jia Zheng wanted to make the whole family happy. Can't he be buried with him?

Angry Mrs. Wang, Gu had no choice but to follow the rules of the second school, so she was carried to Jia Zheng's foreign study, and the two had a cordial and friendly exchange again.By the time Jia Zhu was invited to the meeting, the communication between the two had ended. Mrs. Wang was fine, but Jia Zheng had nail marks all over his face.

Jia Zhu didn't even look at Jia Zheng, she just supported Mrs. Wang to sit down with concern: "Is Madam okay?"

When Madam Wang saw her eldest son, she couldn't help feeling sad: "Pearl, you have to stand up for me, I can only count on you in this mansion."

Here it goes again, doesn't Jia Zhu know what the two of them are talking about this time?But on the surface, I still feel the same way: "Madam, please don't worry, I feel that my body is almost recovered, and I will start studying again tomorrow."

When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Zhu wanted to study, he couldn't help snorting: "Don't talk about reading, I will be ashamed of you when I hear it. Whoever is like you should be carried back to the mansion. It's just holding a book. Get the money and spend it yourself."

Are you so self-aware?Jia Zhu glanced lightly at Jia Zheng, managed to force the rest of his words back into her throat, called the girl to help Mrs. Wang, and followed them back to the inner house without saying a word to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng smashed the study room angrily, and when he was asked to tidy up again, his servant Qi Ai replied: "Master, the things in the library are not complete, please ask your wife..."

The only unbroken cup in the study also followed his companion.Jia Zheng ordered: "Whatever is missing, first move it from Uncle Zhu's study and use it."

After a while, Jia Zheng's order was reported to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's crying, which had just stopped, rose again: "Does he even want face?"
