After the Gu of the Red Chamber

In fact, not only Jia's mother, but even Jia Zheng himself didn't understand where he spent the entire 12 taels of silver?

Knowing that he had borrowed 12 taels of silver, even Jia Zheng was dumbfounded. He never thought that he had borrowed so much without knowing it!

To put it bluntly, he usually only cares about spending money, but he never cared about money. In the past, when he was short of money, he either reached out to the Rongguo Mansion or went directly to Mrs. Wang.

Occasionally, only when the money is not in hand, or when it is inconvenient to get money from Mrs. Wang, will I borrow money from the treasury. Unexpectedly, I borrowed so much money without knowing it.

Jia Zheng didn't know how he borrowed so much money, but Jia Amnesty knew a thing or two. Speaking of which, Jia Zheng really didn't care about his subordinates, and he didn't even know he was cheated by them.

Only half of the 12 taels of silver was actually spent on Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng didn't know that Mrs. Wang used his name to borrow money from the treasury all these years. Madam Wang actually borrowed one third, but they are a husband and wife, so it is not wrong to settle the debt on Jia Zheng.

In addition, some of them were distributed by his subordinates, especially the cleanups raised by Jia Zheng. Everyone had a lot of money. No wonder those guys dared not leave Rongguo Mansion, after all, they were so easy to deceive. Master, where are we going to look for it?

But of course Jia Amnesty couldn't tolerate this moth continuing to eat the blood of Rongguo Mansion, so he ransacked the house of those Qing people and sent them to the government mansion. Don't worry.

(Ying Tianfu Yin: Who the hell is so unlucky to know you so well!)

It was also because Jia Zheng had a headache these days because of his debts, and he didn't have the heart to talk to his cleanups at all, so he didn't notice that his cleanups were all tied up in the yamen by Jia Amnesty.

Jia Zheng really had a headache. When he thought that he had to pay back the entire 12 taels of silver, Jia Zheng suddenly became dizzy. The thing that belonged to him was a qin, but it was a full 12 taels of silver, which immediately made him at a loss.

But that was not the only thing that gave Jia Zheng a headache. Before his debts were settled, Aunt Zhao made trouble again. She cried, made trouble and hanged herself, begging Jia Zheng to help rescue her natal family.

These days, because of Jia Zheng's special favor and Mrs. Wang being closed in the family temple, Aunt Zhao is the housekeeper of the whole second room, which immediately makes Aunt Zhao feel swollen. It's not just Aunt Zhao who has the courage to become the master , even Aunt Zhao's natal family regarded herself as a serious relative of Rongguo Mansion, relying on the reputation of Rongguo Mansion to deceive others.

Who would have thought that within a day, she would be beaten back to her original shape in an instant, not only Aunt Zhao's private house was directly searched by the crown prince, but even her natal family was used by Jia Amnesty to repay the debt.

On the one hand, Aunt Zhao was heartbroken because of the loss of her private house, and on the other hand, she was also worried about her natal family. Even if her aunt wanted to save others, she had no way out, so she finally begged Jia Zheng after Tanchun's suggestion.

Aunt Zhao has gained experience. She dragged the two children Jia Huan and Tanchun to cry for Jia Zheng. From the corner of his eyes, he didn't stain his makeup at all, and took the opportunity to show his perfect side in front of Jia Zheng.

Even if Jia Zheng had a headache because of the money matters, and being entangled by Aunt Zhao was even more headache, but seeing Aunt Zhao's pear blossom and rainy appearance, he still couldn't help his heart moved, his tone became softer, and he sighed: "Help! How are you going to save it!"

Don't talk about hundreds of taels of silver, now I'm afraid he doesn't have tens of taels of silver, besides, everyone has been sold to the black coal yard by the prince, so how could they get out? Can one come out alive?

According to him, it is better not to give up this idea, it is more serious to save a few taels of silver and pay him off the debt.

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's only a few hundred taels of silver, how could the master not have it?"

Jia Zheng glared at her viciously, all the money on his body was used to pay off the debts, where there was silver, let alone hundreds of taels of silver, he didn't even have tens or a few taels.

That guy Jia She greeted the accountant in the Rongguo Mansion again, saying that he would not let him pay in advance, and now it was the middle of the month, and it was still early before the monthly silver was issued, the money he brought.

Aunt Zhao knew she was Meng Lang as soon as she opened her mouth, but although she knew that Jia Zheng owed money, she really didn't expect Jia Zheng to pay back the money. After all, the second wife's dowry is still there, and there is no more money. Just take the dowry of the second wife.

She subconsciously said directly: "But isn't the second wife's dowry not taken away by the prince? Just take the second wife's dowry."

The second wife has always been proud of her generous dowry, and a little revealing between her fingers is enough to redeem her natal family.

Aunt Zhao's words moved Jia Zheng's heart. In fairness, after he knew that he had an extra debt of 12 taels of silver, he had also proposed the idea of ​​Mrs. Wang's dowry.

It's just that although Mrs. Wang was sent to the family temple, the bulk of the dowry, such as cash and rare jewelry, was mostly taken by Mrs. Wang, and what was left was all bulky and difficult to sell. That's all.

Now when Aunt Zhao mentioned it, he immediately became a bit more thoughtful, even if it was difficult to sell it, it would still be money. He is short of money now, even if it is an extra tael of silver.

Even though he thought so, Jia Zheng still wanted to show his face, and said, "Then it's easy to sell Wang's dowry. How can it be her private property?"

"What private property?" Aunt Zhao spat in disdain. She was displeased when she heard this. Why should her Mrs. Wang's dowry be considered private property, but the money she worked so hard to save is not her private property? Was searched by the prince's people!

How unfair!

She said sharply: "Since my wife is married to the master, she belongs to the master, so the dowry should naturally belong to the master. Besides, when the master married his wife, he gave a large amount of dowry. It's not for nothing. madam."

To put it bluntly, isn't it possible that the wife's dowry is in vain and generous?The dowry that their Rongguo Mansion gave to the Wang family back then was also first-class. Speaking of which, the wife just brought back the dowry.

When Aunt Zhao said this, Jia Zheng was even more moved, but he still said: "This law is like this, it can be changed by you and me, besides the good things from the Wang family..."

Jia Zheng was about to say that the good things from Mrs. Wang were either taken away by herself, or stolen by the prince, and the remaining things were really not worth much, when Tanchun suddenly interrupted Said: "Is all the good things in the wife's room in Baoyu's room?"

She was raised in the old lady's house before, no matter who comes in or out, she will pass through the Baoyu building where she lives, and she is most aware of the dynamics in the old lady and Baoyu's house.

When the wife was sent to the family temple earlier, several boxes were delivered to Baoyu. She once heard the maids and servants say that even if the wife could not come back in the future, Baoyu would not use it in this life. sad.

Baoyu is also loose-handed, and usually shows off the good things in the box. She remembered that although the prince brought people to search the private rooms of the second wife and the old lady, they did not search the inner rooms of the second wife and the old lady. As for Baoyu, let alone, after all, Baoyu is just a child, who would think of searching his house.

When Tanchun said this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel moved. When he took over Mrs. Wang's dowry, he wondered why many good things were missing from Mrs. Wang's dowry. He thought it was Mrs. Wang who brought it to the family temple. , according to what Tanchun said, those good things probably fell into Baoyu's hands.

Jia Zheng would feel a little bit embarrassed about selling Mrs. Wang's things, but Jia Zheng felt no pressure at all when he sold Baoyu's things. After all, he is Baoyu's biological father, and Baoyu should respect him.

In fact, Jia Zheng actually got a lot of good things from Baoyu House to pay off his debts. Of course, even so, he couldn't pay off the entire 12 taels of debt he owed. Only then did I barely pay off more than half of the debt.

Fortunately, Tu Mingyu's debt collection went smoothly, and the money collected was enough, so he raised his hand slightly, otherwise Jia Zheng thought it would not be so easy to get through this hurdle.

Of course, Xue Yi was a shrewd person, how could he borrow such a sum of money from Jia Zheng just because of his brother-in-law status? Xue Yi directly mentioned the matter of marriage.

He has only one son and one daughter under his knees, and the eldest son Xue Pan doesn't know how he grew up. He was born in the same mold as his mother. Not only does he look like his mother, but his brain is also like his mother. It's really simple. It's very tight, and it won't turn at all.

Xue Yi trained himself for several years, but he couldn't make Xue Pan's mind turn a few more turns. In the end, he also gave up on this son, and turned his attention to raising his own daughter.

Compared with Xue Pan, who has only one brain like Xue Wang's, Baochai is exactly like him. Although he is still young, he is extremely smart and can understand everything.

The only pity is that Baochai is a woman, and the morals of this world are somewhat harsh on women after all.

He was not willing to give up Baochai's talent in business, and he didn't want Baochai to have a difficult marriage because of showing his face in business, and what's more, he would be bullied by others, so he turned his idea on Jia Baoyu. up.

He also heard Mrs. Xue say that the child was born with jade in his mouth, and he didn't know how smart he was. Although there was a lot of water in his words, as far as he knew, Baoyu was indeed of the Jia family's generation. The most outstanding one among them, Jia's mother also intends to train Baoyu to be the head of the next generation of Jia's family.

As long as Jia Baoyu doesn't look crooked, he will be the leader of the next generation of the Jia family. With the status of the Rongguo Mansion, and as long as Jia Baoyu is up-to-date, Baochai will not suffer a disadvantage if he marries Baoyu.

Besides, Jia Baoyu can be regarded as a relative of his own family. In the future, Baochai will take care of the Xue family's business on the grounds of helping his elder brother, so it is difficult to talk about coming to Jia's family.

Therefore, Xue Yi turned a blind eye to the secret actions of Wang Xue and Wang over the years, such as hitting golden locks and making Lengxiang pills, and let them go, isn't it? Thinking that her daughter was born in a merchant after all, if she had some special features, she could also mention her identity, and she was barely a good match with Baoyu.

Even so, Xue Yi was a little worried, so taking advantage of Jia Zheng's coming to borrow money this time, Xue Yi took the opportunity to mention Baoyu's and Baochai's marriage.

Before Xue Yi wrote the letter, he had made all the preparations. When he thought about it, Jia Zheng might be unwilling to let his son marry a merchant girl, and he might make many excuses. He had already prepared a lot of reasons and Jia Zheng was arguing, but he never expected that Jia Zheng responded in a hurry, and the speed made Xue Yi wonder if Jia Zheng was selling out his son.

For the first time, Xue Yi became a little suspicious of his sister-in-law. Could it be that Baoyu is not as good as Jia Wang's said?

Although he was a little suspicious, Xue Yi still gritted his teeth and took the opportunity to decide on his daughter's marriage. If he missed this opportunity, it might not be so easy to meet this opportunity again.

Just like that, Jia Zheng managed to repay most of the arrears by selling his son's marriage and the private house in his son's house. In comparison, Jia Zheng's money owed was nothing, so he raised his hand and let Jia Zheng go.

With this dowry list, Tu Mingyu actually stole a lot of people. Obviously, this debt collection is the most difficult thing to handle, since he has managed to do a few of them, and it has also allowed him to earn enough money for military expenses and water control. silver.

Even if the abandoned prince is far away in the deep palace, he has heard about it a little bit, he said helplessly: "I will underestimate this Jia She by then."

If we really want to talk about this matter, I'm afraid that Jia She's bad idea deserves more credit.

Never expected that Jia Amnesty would have such a genius.

Xia Xingquan also secretly thought it was a pity, "It was almost."

Just a little bit, the prince might have a chance to go out, but he was destroyed by that guy Jia She.

The waste prince could see it, and said lightly: "It's also Mingyu's luck."

Speaking of it, Mingyu really didn't have much ability, but his luck has been good since he was a child. Although he was born to a court lady, his father was kind enough to find him a reliable adoptive mother.

Don't think that An Pin is a cruel person, but she definitely has no bad intentions towards Ming Yu, otherwise Ming Yu would not be able to grow up in the palace safely.It's just that Mingyu himself didn't cherish it. In a moment of enthusiasm, he refused the An family's marriage. If Anan's concubine and the fourth child, the adoptive mother and son, would not have such a deadlock.

But being stiff also has its benefits. At least this time, what An Pin committed did not implicate the fourth child at all.

But this time it was so difficult to collect debts, it happened that the fourth child met a genius like Jia She, and it was easy for the fourth child to find a coincidence.

The luck of the fourth child is really rare.

Xia Xingquan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "But in this way, the fourth prince will become more and more sacred in front of the Holy Majesty, when will the prince leave Yuqing Palace?"

In case the Holy Majesty becomes interested in cultivating the Fourth Prince again, then...

Xia Xingquan was really worried, this matter of seizing the heir, one step could not be wrong, one mistake would be a catastrophe, even if the fourth prince did not dare to risk the world's disgrace and deal ruthless to the prince, but for Lei who was raised outside Brother, he will never be so good-natured.

Besides, there are a lot of ways to kill people behind the scenes in this world. Instead of counting on the fourth prince not to dare, it is the most serious solution to be the master himself.

The waste prince smiled strangely, "Don't worry! This matter is not over yet."

By doing this, Tu Mingyu collected more than half of the debts owed by those families in Beijing, but he forgot one thing, some things are good, but they are not money after all, and military expenses, water control, etc. are still money. White silver!

The waste prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered: "Order it down, don't accept any of those things that were taken out of Tu Mingyu's hands!"

He would like to see how long the fourth brother's good fortune can support him.

Originally, Tu Mingyu was a little bit complacent because of the successful debt collection, and he was a little bit more aggressive than me, but when he was about to take out the money for military expenses and water control, he realized that the money Not enough!

Speaking of which, Tu Mingyu definitely brought back a lot of good things. After all, as long as he has been in a big family, he will definitely understand that the richest person in this family is definitely not the head of the family, but the wife of the family.

To put it bluntly, in aristocratic families, most of the men were raised by their wives before they separated, just like Jia Lian. Ziyueyin's living is far inferior to Wang Xifeng's monthly income from her own shop.

But for some reason, most women are unwilling to put their white money at home. Most of them are stored outside, or turned into head jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings...etc. There is not much cash left in my home.

Tu Mingyu copied a lot of valuable antique toys, various decorations, and even head jewelry. There were nearly a dozen boxes, but it was not white money after all.

Emperor Pingkang directly asked Tu Mingyu for the cash, and Tu Mingyu was a little embarrassed. He didn't know why, those things were obviously good things, but they couldn't be turned into white money.

Not only are some shops refusing to accept them, but even if they do, the price is extremely low. Obviously, what he got back is worth at least a million dollars, but if it is really sold, it would be nice to get half of it back. up.

Seeing that the vacancies in military expenses and flood control had not been filled, and Emperor Pingkang was jumping his feet in a hurry, the deposed prince suddenly took the note and proposed that the emperor hold an auction!

When they heard the words "auction", both Daiyu and Tu Lei were taken aback, and subconsciously asked each other: "Could it be that your father and my father also passed through?"

They remembered that in the previous life, the eldest uncle relied on the auction that was created out of nothing, and it was a charity edition without capital, which filled the national treasury. Only then did Dajin have the opportunity to develop with all its strength, and finally became the world's most powerful country.

But why did the word "auction" in this life not come from the mouth of the uncle, but from the mouth of the deposed prince?

The two looked at each other, and finally smiled awkwardly, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"

If his father really wore it, then they would have to light the wax for the uncle.

I hope my uncle's liver can hold on, and he won't be fucked by his father so quickly.
