After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Now that Jia She is in charge of the family, he will naturally know about the money and expenses of the family. Except for the huge expense of the second child's house, the old lady's expenses are particularly high, which can be said to be spent every year. Put money in.

Although a lot of money was posted, it is absolutely impossible to eat up the huge Rongguo Mansion in just a dozen years.

Then I saw that many things in the public treasury disappeared for no apparent reason, and when I helped Brother Lian to beg for his mother's dowry, Mother Jia only returned a part of the dowry, and the bulk of the dowry disappeared. After careful questioning I only reasoned that Zhang's expenses were spent back then, and no matter how unwilling Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were, they could not point to Jia's mother's nose and tell her a lie, so they had to endure it for the time being.

Jia Amnesty has always wanted to check Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's private treasury, especially Jia Zheng's private treasury. He knew in his heart that when Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, she often used the public treasury of the Jia family.

Since Mrs. Wang was sent to the family temple, her private house fell into Jia Zheng's hands. With Jia Zheng's temperament, it would be no wonder if he didn't take the opportunity to swallow it. Taking advantage of the prince's debt collection, he simply borrowed it. Dongfeng, come to check on Erfang's private house.

Anyway, the Rongguo Mansion has not yet separated, and it is reasonable to say that Jia Zheng has no private property of his own. He used the things from the Rongguo Mansion to repay the debts of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Amnesty said that he has no problem at all.Jia Amnesty said that was not important at all.

Jia Amnesty generously invited Tu Mingyu to enter Rongxi Hall, and even took the initiative to open a warehouse to pay off the debt. Tu Mingyu couldn't help but look at the sky to see if the sun came out from the west?Why does Jia Amnesty feel more and more out of tune?

It is not that Tu Mingyu has tried to collect the debts of other families except for the Gongfu and the Li family, but every family has a lot of evasions. For example, the Shi family even sued him at the court meeting, forcing him to He had no choice but to ask for money owed by other families first. Seeing that Jia She's reaction was different from ordinary people, Tu Mingyu couldn't help wondering if the Rongguo Mansion had dug some kind of pit for him to jump into.

Tu Mingyu coughed lightly, and pointed out: "General Jia, the debt owed by the Rongguo Mansion has nothing to do with the dowry of the female relatives."

Even if everyone knows that the female family's private house is the big one, but because of the Shi family's previous complaint, the emperor ordered him not to do anything to the female family's private house, and Tu Mingyu couldn't help it. She directly took the dowry of the daughter of the Wang family to pay off the debt.

As far as he knew, judging from the grievances between the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng, Jia She could really do this kind of thing.

"Prince, don't worry." Jia Amnesty smiled slightly, "I will take care of this matter."

Even if he thinks about it again, he has also read the Dajin law, so he naturally dare not violate the Dajin law. Besides, it is the kindness of the first emperor to leave a note for those who copy the house. survive.

After all, if it really fell into that situation, most of the women would take out their dowry to help the family, so that the person who ransacked the house would not be immediately helpless.

He paused and said: "I also ask the crown prince to help me, and go to Yingtian Mansion to ask for Wang's dowry list."

Naturally, Wang's dowry cannot be copied, but is there anything other than Wang's dowry...

Hehehe, it's going to be cheap anyway, he would rather cheapen the crown prince than cheapen the second bedroom.

As for those things that belonged to Jia Zheng... Hehe, Jia Zheng hasn't separated yet, so it's his private property.

Tu Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jia She with a hint of surprise and deep thought, "I didn't expect Mrs. Jia to be such a wonderful person."

Never would have thought that Jia Amnesty would have thought of such a trick.

Every woman, when she gets married, must make a backup copy of the dowry list in the government, in case something happens in the future, and if there is any confusion between the husband's family, the dowry will be cheap for no reason. Husband's house.

Since the Wang family is a daughter of an aristocratic family, presumably there must be a list of dowry among the officials. As long as you follow the list, you are not afraid that you will unintentionally take Wang's dowry to fill the debt.

Even if you accidentally took it, ahem, who is to blame for the Wang family not recording it in the dowry list back then.

In addition to being surprised, Tu Mingyu couldn't help but blush slightly, even Jia Amnesty could think of things, how could he not have thought of them before?If he had thought of this before, he would not have been countered by the Shi family.

Jia She smiled lightly, he was not forced out by Jia Zheng, and it was a coincidence, since Jia Zheng occupied the main hall, let him fulfill his responsibilities.

He whispered: "I have one more matter, I want to ask the prince for help."

Tu Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say!"

Jia She's eyes were slightly cold, "In addition to Wang's dowry list, please also ask the prince to apply for my mother, Mrs. Jia's dowry list."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had to make these two women spit out what they had swallowed.

The crown prince stared at Jia She for a while, and finally said leisurely: "This time I believe that General Jia really intends to pay back the money."

Jia Amnesty brought the prince directly to the Rongxi Hall, and it was the first time that the servants of Rongxi Hall encountered such a thing as copying their own house, so Lai Da bit the bullet and asked: "My lord, is this something that should be done?" Wait until the second master comes?"

He paused and said, "However, this is also the private treasury of the second master and the second wife."

The implication is to imply that the elder master has no right to do anything to the private treasury of the second master and the second wife.

Jia Amnesty straightened his face and said angrily, "The Holy One ordered the Rongguo Mansion to repay the debts. Could it be that you dare to resist the order? Besides, our Rongguo Mansion has not yet separated, and Jia Zheng's guy came from his private house!"

Speaking of this, Jia Amnesty was faintly angry.Thinking back when Mrs. Zhang was alive, she also thought that the Rongguo Mansion was not supported by his father alone. If his father was gone, the Rongguo Mansion would be useless. People do some small businesses to earn some pocket money.

As a result, the old lady found out, not only reprimanded Mrs. Zhang, but also took away the business that Mrs. Zhang had pre-organized on the grounds that the family was not separated and no private property was allowed. In the end, Mrs. Zhang finally bought it The property was given to the second child by the old lady for another reason, and now he can finally settle the account with the second child.

Since they should have picked Zhang's peaches back then, don't blame him for directly filling the second's private house into the old man's hole.

Lai Dana dared to answer this question, so he could only wave his hand behind Jia She's back, signaling his servants to seek help from the old lady as soon as possible, and said bravely, "But there is probably the second wife's dowry here."

Earlier, there was a lot of rumors about the crown prince intending to use the dowry of the female family members of the Shifu to pay off the debt. Even his servant listened to it. Even if the old man is thick-skinned and not afraid of making trouble, the crown prince would not fool around with the old man if he thought about it. Bar.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words of the second wife's dowry, Tu Mingyu and Jia She had acquainted each other with a smile, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the smile.

"Hey hey." Jia Amnesty directly warmed his hands, flicked the Wang family's dowry list that the crown prince had just copied, "The crown prince has copied Wang's dowry list from Yingtian Mansion, it should belong to Wang family, Everything is indispensable.”

In the same way, it shouldn't belong to the Wang family, and he won't keep half of it to make Jia Zheng cheaper!

Jia Amnesty winked at Butler Mo, butler Mo understood, and quietly made people restrain Lai Da and his boys, how could they let them destroy the master's plan.

As soon as he opened the storeroom of the second room, Jia Amnesty was almost dazzled.

One can tell at a glance that in recent years, the second child's family has definitely taken advantage of the housekeeper to attack Jia's public treasury. Apart from the unexplainable things missing in Jia's public treasury, there are even many things that should be found. It is an imperial gift inherited by the person who inherited the title, and even the title deed of Jia's meritorious land is actually in Jia Zheng's hands.

Seeing this, Jia She took the opportunity to get back those imperial gifts, especially the field of meritorious service, which was a thing for making money, and it was much more important than any antique calligraphy and painting.

Tu Mingyu thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, not to mention that those imperial gifts are not easy to repay debts. Besides, among so many families, the Jia family is the most cooperative, so he should raise his hand a little. .

As far as the sauce is concerned, the two of them each get what they need, and it is considered a pleasant cooperation. However, it is a pity that although Jia Zheng has secretly swallowed a lot of good things in the Jia family's treasury over the years, the shopkeeper brought by Tu Mingyu has also tried his best to buy them. Gaoli estimated the price, but after emptying Jia Zheng's warehouse, it still couldn't fill the 30 taels that Jia Daishan owed back then.

Tu Mingyu originally wanted to take it easy and allow Jia She to make money for a few more days, but Jia She unexpectedly said: "Since the Rongxi Hall has finished copying, we should go to the Rongqing Hall."

He smiled shyly, "The Jia family was managed by my mother in the early years, the private house left by my father, and the income of the Jia family in the early years were all collected by my mother, so I can repay some if I want. "

Jia Amnesty just didn't say clearly that Jia's mother was rich, so copy her!Copy her!

Tu Mingyu looked at Jia She with a bad look in his eyes, did Jia She have a grudge against the whole family of Rongguo Mansion?Even my own mother wanted to copy it, but...

For Tu Mingyu, who was short of money, Jia She's words really won his heart.

Tu Mingyu coughed lightly, and said with a straight face, "Not yet leading the way."

"Yes." Jia Amnesty personally took Tu Mingyu to Rongqing Hall.

For Jia Mu, this is more serious than sitting at home and the disaster comes from the sky.

Unlike Jia She, who was completely out of the situation, Jia's mother knew that the Rongguo Mansion owed a large sum of money.

Jia Daishan's ability not to be relegated to become a nobleman back then was not only related to the fact that he was a companion of Emperor Pingkang, so he was a bit of a fan, but also because he guarded the border for many years and did a lot of practical things.

When Jia Daishan was guarding the border back then, he was able to stop the children of Beirong from crying. In terms of prestige, he was far superior to Wang Ziteng now. There are even many people who are unable to continue their lives because of physical disabilities.

Back then, Jia Daishan borrowed a lot of money from the treasury in order to accommodate these soldiers who died in battle and were wounded, so he borrowed a huge amount of 30 taels unknowingly.

When Jia Daishan was alive, he was also worried about this debt, and he ordered his mother to repay some money every year, no matter how much, so that the Holy One could see that Rongguo Mansion wanted to repay the money.

But Jia's mother obediently agreed in front of Jia Daishan. Once Jia Daishan died, she put this matter behind her.

When she thought about it, since Jia Daishan borrowed the money to accommodate the soldiers, and it was not used on the Rongguo Mansion, why should the Rongguo Mansion pay it back?

Besides, it should be the job of the court to arrange the soldiers. Jia Daishan helped the court to arrange the soldiers. The court should have a reward, so how could it ask the Rongguo Mansion to return the money?

Furthermore, Jia She is not the son of Jia's mother. Even if the court wants the Rongguo Mansion to pay back the money in the future, Jia She should go bankrupt and figure out a solution. It has nothing to do with her.

Ever since, Mother Jia put this matter aside, almost forgetting that the Rongguo Mansion still owed money.

Never expected that the Holy Majesty would order the prince to collect the debt, let alone that the prince would collect the debt to her private house.

Mother Jia put on a hard face, and said angrily: "Prince! No matter what, there is no reason to use my private house to pay back the money, right?"

She glanced at Jia She, "Since She'er is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, he should take care of this matter."

Jia's mother smiled maliciously. Back then, the old woman (Jia Daishan's mother) left all her private houses to Jia She, and Jia She was the richest owner in Quanrong Guofu.

Before Tu Mingyu could speak, Jia Amnesty couldn't wait to take a step forward, and said with a smile, "Mother made a mistake. It's not that a woman doesn't need to pay her husband's debt for her private house; it's that a woman doesn't need to pay her husband's debt for her dowry."

"That's right!" When Jia She said this, Tu Mingyu also laughed and said, "Gu has already had someone copy the old matriarch's dowry list from the officials, and he will definitely not take advantage of the old matriarch."

Jia Mu's face changed drastically, and she said sharply, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will chill the hearts of the world by doing this?"

She paused and said: "If the crown prince insists on paying the debt with my private house, then I will have no choice but to go to the Martyrs' Shrine to cry for my dead husband."

Jia Daishan's meritorious deeds were in the imperial court, and after his death, he had to enter the Martyr's Shrine. If Jia's mother wanted to go to the Zhongmartyr's Shrine to cry for Jia Daishan, the Holy Majesty would definitely intervene. Hearing Jia's mother's threat, Tu Mingyu hesitated for a moment.

Jia Amnesty took a step forward and said coldly: "The prince's request for money is also for the stability of the Northeast and the people in Henan. I believe that my father is still alive, and he will definitely agree to the prince's move."

Then Jia Amnesty bowed to the prince again and said: "The prince's actions are truly for the sake of all people in the world, for the sake of the world!"

When Jia She said this, Tu Mingyu's confidence suddenly increased. Just as Jia She said, his trip was not for personal grievances, but to collect debts for the people of Henan. There is nothing to be afraid of here.

The crown prince looked straight, waved his hand and said, "Come here, except for Mrs. Jia's dowry, all the rest have been copied."

Although Jia's mother wanted to make trouble, the people Tu Mingyu brought were not vegetarians, so they immediately restrained Jia's mother and continued their great career of copying Jia's mother.

Previously, Jia Zheng’s private house was enough to surprise people. I never expected that Jia’s mother’s private house was even higher than Jia Zheng’s private house. There were countless rare fabrics and jewellery, which were rare even in the palace. There are two pieces of Huiwen, and there are even several chiming bells from the West.

However, Jia She looked at one of the chiming clocks with a somewhat strange expression.

Tu Mingyu looked at Jia She's expression, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with this chime?"

Jia She sighed faintly, "Prince Buyu, this bell is the dowry brought by his deceased wife back then."

No matter how you say it, the Zhang family is the daughter of the elder of the pavilion. Although the Zhang family is noble, it also has many good things, and the Ziming Bell is one of them.

He thought that Ziming Zhong would have been given away by favor, but he never expected that it would be taken away by Jiamu.

Tu Mingyu was taken aback, "Why is your deceased wife's dowry in Mrs. Jia's private room?"

Jia She smiled miserably, "My wife died suddenly in childbirth. My mother was afraid that I would spend the dowry of the deceased wife, so she took it on behalf of the dog. I gave a part of it, and the rest were presumed to have been spent by Mrs. Zhang during his lifetime. Unexpectedly... it turned out to be spent here!"

When it came to the end, Jia She had a hint of grief and indignation.

"I see."

Tu Mingyu sighed slightly, and gave Jia She a rare sympathy. He thought that the royal family was already a place without family ties, but he didn't expect Rongguo Mansion to be even better.

He pondered for a moment, "A woman's dowry does not need to cover her husband's debt, you just pick out the part of Zhang's dowry."

Tu Mingyu generously asked Jia Amnesty to pick out the part of Zhang's dowry from Jia's mother's private house. The debt collection went so smoothly for the first time, and Tu Mingyu was also satisfied, and didn't care about missing the 01:30 point.

Jia She was overjoyed, "Thank you, Prince."

Jia Amnesty began to pick and choose unceremoniously.

The chiming clock originally belonged to Mrs. Zhang, so it should be taken back naturally. Besides, Jia Amnesty was also careful. By helping Mrs. Zhang get back the name of the dowry, she picked and picked a lot. The boutique in Jiamu's private room.

For example, Mrs. Zhang married a set of red gold and ruby ​​jewellery, but he did not choose the set that Mrs. Zhang originally married as a dowry.

Even if it was the same red gold ruby ​​head, the ruby ​​on Zhang's original dowry set was only the size of a mung bean, which was pitifully small. It was the size of a thumb finger, and the set of jewelry alone was worth thousands of taels of silver.

As for the six shops in Zhang's dowry list, Jia Amnesty even privately replaced the one in Jia's mother's private house, which is facing the main street, with the six shops where the business is located.

On the one hand, Tu Mingyu wanted to save face for Jia She, and on the other hand, he didn't expect Jia She to play tricks under his nose, so he unknowingly asked him to exchange the good things in Jia Mu's private room. .

Tu Mingyu looked at the Zhang family's dowry that Jia She picked out, and secretly wondered, he thought the Zhang family was just a noble family, why did the Zhang family come here so rich?

Although he was puzzled, Tu Mingyu didn't say anything. After all, Jia Amnesty cooperated so well that he might as well turn a blind eye to some things. The 30 taels of silver that Jia Daishan borrowed back then was still a little short.

Thinking that it was only a matter of a few hundred taels of silver, Tu Mingyu wanted to be generous and pardoned Jia directly, but Jia Amnesty said: "I didn't expect it to be a little bit less. People pay their debts!"

Tu Mingyu frowned slightly, "Repay the debt with people!?"

"That's right." Jia She said with a smile, "I don't have many people in Rongguo Mansion, and my family has quite a few children. If the crown prince doesn't mind, why don't I just use the servants in Rongguo Mansion to pay off the debt."

A child born in the family is also considered the property of the main family, so it can naturally be sold, and the first one he took out to pay off the debt was none other than Lai Da's family!

Of course, Nanny Lai is an exception. After all, she is Jia Mu's dowry, so she can't be regarded as a child of the Rongguo Mansion, but her son and grandson are...

Jia She laughed strangely, for the first time he felt that ransacking the house was a good thing.
