After the Gu of the Red Chamber

The prince came to collect the debt in person, but it turned out that the elder not only took the prince to steal the private house of the second master, but even the news that the old lady's private house was copied spread like wind in the whole house in an instant.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, really at a loss, if the person who came to collect the debt today was someone else, it would be strange if everyone didn't fight him with a white knife to enter, but a red knife to come out, but today the debt collector is the crown prince, and it is another The imperial decree to collect debts, even if you give everyone a little more courage, they will not dare to go forward to argue with the prince.

What's more, the prince skipped the dowry of Mrs. Wang and the old lady. After such a calculation, it seems that there is nothing unreasonable for the old man to directly use the second house and the old lady's private house to pay off the debt. After all, everyone knows the old lady well. The private house that came out of "more" with the second room came from there, which can be regarded as coming from the Rongguo Mansion and used in the Rongguo Mansion.

Besides, there are almost 30 taels of extra private houses in Erfang and Jiamu alone. No matter who they are, they can't help sighing that Erfang and the old lady are too greedy after knowing it.

If the two of them hadn't been so greedy and emptied the public treasury of the Jia Mansion, they might not have the goods today.

But everyone didn't expect that the old man's show operation was more than that. Seeing that the old lady and the second private house were not enough to pay off the debt, he directly sold someone to pay off the debt.

The first one to be kidnapped and sold was Lai Da's family. Apart from Lai Nanny, Lai Da's family and even Lai Er were also kidnapped and paid five taels of silver per person to repay the debt. Grandma Lai's precious grandson, Lai Shangrong, was also tied up.

Speaking of which, Lai Shangrong was released from slavery as soon as he was born. Ordinarily, Jia Amnesty should never be sold to Lai Shangrong, but the problem is that Mother Jia wanted to criticize Nanny Lai. Go out, but did not go to the government to implement it.

Therefore, on the surface, Lai Shangrong was still a slave, and he was also the son of Rongguo Mansion, so Jia Amnesty would naturally sell him.

Jia Amnesty directly asked Steward Mo to tie up Lai Da and Lai Er's family to pay off the debt.

As soon as Steward Mo arrived at Lai's mansion to pull people, the first person who refused to follow was naturally Nanny Lai. Nanny Lai's anxious eyes were red, and she looked like a crazy woman. She pulled one with her left hand, but refused to let go with her right hand The other one tried every means to prevent Steward Mo from pulling people.

Nanny Lai said angrily: "Why did the old man sell my Lai family!" Her eyes narrowed, and she threatened: "I...I'm going to tell the old lady!"

Butler Mo said angrily: "What are you craving the family, your lai family is the son of a family in the Rongguo Mansion, except for you, you, everyone from top to bottom is the master, why can't the master sell it? Could it be that you have been used to being domineering in the mansion these years, and you really regard yourself as a human being?"

At the end, Butler Mo was somewhat ironic.

When he doesn't know?As long as anyone in Rongguo Mansion has served the elders, even cats and dogs have to be respected. Where did the words come from, and it was not just Lai Mammy's family who made it.

He didn't even look at his identity, and wanted to show his prestige in front of the old man, who could beat them back to their original form in minutes.

Nanny Lai narrowed her eyes slightly, and finally said bitterly: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, I will pay it back on behalf of the elder."

Nanny Lai can also be regarded as a person who can bend and stretch, knowing that there is a crown prince to support the old man, it is not the time to care about money, but fortunately, although these hundreds of taels of silver are not a lot, it is nothing to the Lai family, and it is hard to be cruel. It's not that I can't get it out.

Nothing is more important than the safety of their family members, old and young.

"On behalf of the Elder!?" Butler Mo couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, he sneered slightly, a slave must have the consciousness of being a slave, even the second master has no private property of his own, as a slave , that has its own money.

Housekeeper Mo sneered, "Where did you get the money?"

Lai Momo's eyes narrowed slightly, "Butler Mo underestimates me too much, no matter how I say it, I'm still the old lady's dowry."

Subconsciously, Nanny Lai picked up the old lady again to suppress him.

But this time, Butler Mo didn't give Madam Lai any face at all.

"I'm afraid Lai Momo doesn't understand." Butler Mo said leisurely: "As a slave, Momo doesn't even belong to her, so how can she get any money!?"

Nanny Lai narrowed her eyes slightly, her face darkened, and she immediately heard what Butler Mo meant.

She was slightly surprised, although servants like them belonged to the master's family, so naturally it was impossible to have any private property of their own.

However, there is nothing more than human affection outside the law. Generally speaking, most people are afraid of fame, as long as they are a little shameless, most of them turn a blind eye to this kind of slave buying private property, which is a little bit good. Some families even allow their slaves to leave with their private property when they redeem themselves.

Bisheng... This time, the Lai family met an elder who didn't play according to the rules. Unexpectedly... the elder is the most shameless person in the whole capital, and his reputation is not important at all.

Such a matter of confiscating their private property and then selling them, the Elder Master can really do it!

Nanny Lai regretted secretly, she knew that she should have redeemed her body and left a few years ago, although with the temperament of an old lady, it is inevitable that she will lose a little money, but it is better than the whole family paying for the Rongguo Mansion's debts.

And now...

She took a look at the children and grandchildren who were tied up in a string by Steward Mo, who was about to pull them away to repay the debt, and finally gave in and said, "What exactly is the old man going to do? Just tell me!"

She also listened carefully to the prince's debt collection this time, knowing that the prince only copied Rongxi hall and Rongqing hall, and never visited the east courtyard where the elder lived.

In the Eldest Master's situation, Nanny Lai would never believe that even a few hundred taels of silver could not be brought out. The only reason was that the Elder Master did not want to take it, and wanted to use this matter to manipulate her.

That's all, her arms can't twist her thighs, no matter what the old man wants to do, she will do it.

Butler Mo was really funny, "Nurse really can't recognize herself, and still want to negotiate terms with the master?"

It's all here, can't Nanny Lai see it?It was just laziness that the elder didn't make a move before, if he really wanted to make a move, it would only be a matter of minutes to take care of her family, it's too late to beg for mercy at this point!

Lai Momo narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the Elder Master doesn't want to know who his own mother is?"

She was also driven into a hurry, so she told the story, but she didn't believe that the old man would not be curious at all after learning about her life experience.

In Lai's mind, the mystery of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's life experience is the biggest secret in Jia's mansion. Let alone Jia Amnesty, whoever knows it will be shocked. Now, maybe she will turn a blind eye to her self-redemption.

Unexpectedly, Steward Mo looked straight at Nanny Lai for a long time, and said leisurely: "I didn't expect that Nanny is also an insider!"

One word already implies a lot.

Now talking about Nanny Lai was shocked, she lost her voice: "Master already knew!?"

That being the case, why did the Grand Master continue to put up with the old lady?And...how could even Butler Mo know about it?

She thought it was some great secret, but she never expected that in the eyes of others, it was not a secret at all.

Butler Mo smiled, and said lightly: "In my opinion, it's you who don't know anything."

If you knew, would you dare to treat the elder like this?

He said coldly: "I don't even know who the Eldest Master's mother is, yet she dares to help Jia Shishi to bully the Elder Master!"

Butler Mo contemptuously called Jia Shishi, revealing something faintly.

Nanny Lai fell to the ground and was speechless for a long time. She only realized now that the housekeeper Mo behind the old master was the one who hid the most.

Butler Mo was really rude, not only tied up the Lai family, but also copied all the money of the Lai family, and sent it directly to the east courtyard. As for Nanny Lai...

Butler Mo rudely ordered Mammy Lai to be kicked out, even Lai Mammy was not allowed to live in the bungalow where the servants of Jia's mansion lived in the back street behind Rongguo Mansion.

They can't go overboard and sell Nanny Lai on behalf of Mother Jia, but it's always possible not to let her live on the grounds of Jia's house. As for Nanny Lai, a lonely old woman, how should she live in the future?That's not something they should worry about.

Nanny Lai not only lost her children and grandchildren, but also lost her accompanying money, and even lost her family.

She wholeheartedly wanted to sue Mother Jia, but she had no choice but to pay off the debts this time, not only the Lai Da family and the whole Rongguo Mansion, as long as they were the old lady, the Wang family, and the second wife. He even sent Aunt Zhao's elder brother's family to pay off the debt.

Immediately, the ups and downs of the Rongguo Mansion were cleared up, and everyone followed the lead of the elders. Aunt Lai, let alone suing Mother Jia, could not even enter the Rongguo Mansion.

In the end, Nanny Lai even spent the last bit of money on her body, and was driven out of the back street of Rongguo Mansion, and finally became an old beggar, who could only rely on begging to survive the day.

In the end, because too many people sold it, it even surpassed the money owed by the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Amnesty was generous, and he only said it was interest, and he refused to pay a few people less. In the end, Tu Mingyu had no choice but to I can go back with a bunch of people.

The things copied from the Rongguo Mansion are easy to deal with, but these people are not easy to manage. Tu Mingyu is also a bachelor, so he sent them directly to the black coal yard.

Although he is not as shrewd and capable as Prince Abandoned, he is definitely not an idiot, so he can see Jia She's intention of using people to pay off his debts.

Originally, the matter in the Rongguo Mansion had nothing to do with him, but because of Jia She's cooperation this time, Tu Mingyu also took a step back, and did a little favor for Jia She, sending those people directly to the black coal yard. Once they are given away, it is guaranteed that those people will never even think about returning to the capital alive.

Although the silver sent to the black coal yard is not much in conversion, and it is only worth the amount of hundreds of taels of silver, but Tu Mingyu doesn't care about that. In comparison, he can take the opportunity to make friends with Jia She That's true.

Don't look at Jia She as a well-known dandy in the court, but in this matter, I'm afraid there are not many people in the court who are as quick-witted as Jia She.

Not only Tu Mingyu changed his mind towards Jia She, but even Gao Ming admired him very much, "I never thought that Master Jia would have such a talent!"

He admired it, and knew that only Jia She could do such a thing.Such a coquettish operation, even if ordinary people think about it, may not be able to do it, and only people like Jia She who are famous for their shamelessness and skinlessness in Beijing can do it.

Tu Mingyu was also full of admiration. After collecting debts for such a long time, this time collecting debts is the most enjoyable.

It's a pity... There is no one like Jia She who desperately cheats his family to pay off his debts.

Tu Mingyu ordered: "In addition, someone will give Jia Amnesty an inconspicuous gift. How can I put it this way, he has done Gu a great favor this time."

Although Jia She's original intention was to harm his family more, he finally accepted Jia She's love.

He paused and said again: "Have someone go to Yingtian Mansion immediately and copy the dowry list of each family's family members."

I don't believe that this time I won't peel off a layer of the Shi family's skin!

Gao Ming's heart moved, and he suggested: "Master, why don't you take this opportunity to recruit Jia Amnesty?"

Not to mention other things, in this matter, no one in the court really could think of this move.

Tu Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, but then he shook his head and said: "Although Jia Amnesty is a bit quick-witted, his knowledge is still a bit weak, and it's too difficult to use. Besides, this matter was caused by the infighting in the Rongguo Mansion after all. If you let him handle the important affairs of the court, I'm afraid it won't work."

To put it bluntly, Jia Amnesty was only forced by Mrs. Jia and Jia Zheng, so he dug up his own house. If he really wanted to let him deal with some major issues, I'm afraid it won't work.

Gao Ming thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason. He sighed slightly, and finally stopped persuading him.

On the contrary, the staff suddenly thought of something and felt slightly puzzled. He is from another place, and it doesn't seem like people in the capital have some preconceived notions.

Speaking of which, although Mr. Jia in the Rongguo Mansion is a well-known dude, he rarely sees Mr. Jia bullying men and women.

Furthermore, it is said that Mr. Jia is ignorant, but think about it carefully, Mr. Jia does not need to take the imperial examination, so he doesn't need to study at all. Stuff in the belly, so where did this reputation of being ignorant come from.

Furthermore, they only found out after they invited many big shopkeepers of pawnshops in Beijing to help with the valuation this time that Mr. Jia is a well-known person in Beijing who understands gold and stone playthings, even the big shopkeepers in Liulichang. I will also specially ask Mr. Jia to go over and palm his eyes.

Ordinarily, since Mr. Jia knows gold and stone playthings, at least he should have some knowledge, right?

So the staff really couldn't figure it out, how could the reputation of Mr. Jia be so bad?

The staff thought about it for a while, but in the end it was all.

He is also a smart person, knowing that the prince has no other available people at the moment, so he will rely heavily on him. If a capable person really comes, what status does he have in front of the prince?

Therefore, the staff simply made a big fortune in silence and said nothing.

In the end, the matter of recruiting Jia Amnesty was finally given up by Tu Mingyu.

It was not until a long time later that Tu Mingyu and the others realized what they had missed.

Unfortunately, by then, it was too late.

Tu Mingyu came to collect debts again, relying on this dowry list, many people who had no time to transfer their private houses really allowed Tu Mingyu to search for a lot of things.

Even the Shi family was caught off guard for a while, and had to return some things. Everyone dared not blame the prince, but complained about Jia She.This is a good time, Jia Amnesty not only deceived his own family, but also deceived other people's families.

Jia Amnesty was originally at home, plus he had to read 120 times a day, so he was too busy to go out at all, and it would be difficult for others to cover him with a cloth bag in private, but Jia Zheng would be miserable.

Although he is also a victim, and what's more, because he has borrowed a full 12 taels of silver from the treasury, he is also on the prince's debt collection list. When Jia's pardon was not received, he took his anger out on Jia Zheng.

During this period of time, Jia Zheng was not only made things difficult by others, he was hit by a carriage when he went out, he was put in a cloth bag when he placed an order, and he was even poured with manure once!He has encountered all kinds of unlucky things, and he is so depressed that he wants to avoid the concept of Qingxu and not go out.

Bisheng... It's not so easy to be an otaku, the servant reminded helplessly: "Second master, the prince said, if I don't see you again tomorrow, he might come to the door in person."

Speaking of which, the crown prince has given the second master some time, and the crown prince also made it clear that it was for the sake of the elder that he gave the second master some more time.

But no matter how many days are given, the second master has no money, so he has no money, and the money he gets will pay off the debt!

Originally, the second master also had some private houses, but those private houses had already been used by the elder master to fill the debts of the former Duke.

It's not that the second master didn't want to make trouble, but the elder master also made it clear that there was no private property before the separation of the family, and it was right to use Rongguo Mansion's money to fill the Rongguo Mansion's debts.

What's more, the second master is also the son of the former grandfather of the old country. The father's debt was paid by the son, and he used Jia Zheng's private house to pay Jia Daishan's debt. To be a filial son well-known in Beijing naturally has to pay some price.

Of course, the most important thing is that all the people in the hands of the second master have been sent to pay off the debts by the elder master. Even if the second master wants to make trouble, he really can't make trouble.

To put it bluntly, if he hadn't happened to be away that day when he was talking about going to the Ministry of Industry with the second master, maybe he would have been dragged out and sold.

Jia Zheng also knew that he was definitely not his opponent when he quarreled with Jia She, not to mention the fact that he borrowed 12 taels of silver in private. Besides, if he really wanted to quarrel, would he be such a shameless guy like Jia She? opponent.

Because the prince was in a hurry, Jia Zheng had no choice but to borrow money from Jia Mu. In his mind, although most of Jia Mu's private house was confiscated, Jia Mu's own dowry was not moved at all.

When Jia's mother got married back then, it was said that Shili Hongzhuang brought half a bowling waiter to the house. Given Jia's mother's generous dowry, it shouldn't be a big deal to help him pay back the money.

Ever since, Jia Zheng had the courage to speak to Jia's mother.

Jia's mother was annoyed at the fact that the prince stole her private house, but when she saw that Jia Zheng was even thinking about what was left of her, she was even more annoyed at the moment, and immediately kicked Jia Zheng out angrily.

She also understood that no matter how caring and filial an adopted son is, he cannot be as reliable as the money in his hand.

Besides, she didn't understand why Jia Zheng borrowed so much money in the first place?Not to mention that Jia Zheng has a monthly salary of 20 taels of silver, plus the income from the shops and fields she subsidizes to Jia Zheng privately, there are at least nearly a hundred taels of silver every month. Like a poor man.

When I asked Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was speechless. Since Jia Zheng refused to tell the truth, Mother Jia didn't bother to care about his life or death.

She didn't believe it, there was nothing left for Jia Zheng to spend the entire 12 taels of silver.

Jia Zheng had a bad nose, and as soon as he got back to the room, he couldn't help scolding Mother Jia, "It's true that it's not dear, but I've been calling my wife for so many years, and I don't even have a little idea to help you." Willing to help."

If he had known this, he might as well have recognized the relatives of the Zhen family. I heard that before the fall of the Zhen family, they had saved a sum of money with their old relatives. If he recognized the Zhen family early, he would not be short of money Money, let alone stretch out any hand to the treasury.

Jia Amnesty started to scold for a while, and didn't notice what he said at all, but the servant who was serving at the side was stunned, and quickly lowered his head, his heart was beating so frightened that he seemed to know too much.
