After the Gu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 82
I have to say that knowledge changes life, and I was forced by the Book Gu to read the book 120 times a day. Although Jia She still couldn't memorize the book, but after reading it 120 times, it is difficult not to remember the content of the book , read a lot of books, Jia Amnesty also knows how to start thinking.
The so-called Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone. In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have been trying to get along with each other all these years. It's just that he thinks that he still has Brother Lian under his knees, and at worst, he still has Cong. Brother, it's never Jia Zheng's turn.
In addition, because of his filial piety at that time, he really couldn't deal with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who were favorably protected by Jia's mother, so he turned a blind eye, closed his eye, and endured it!
But thinking about it now, Jia She only wanted to slap him to death when he was innocent and unpretentious.
How could he be so stupid then! ?
Knowing that Mrs. Wang is one of the most poisonous women, and Jia Zheng is a traitor, it is extremely stupid to hand over Lian's brother to Jia's mother to raise him.
Fortunately, Brother Lian himself is well-behaved, coupled with Zhao Mama's secret teaching, so Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang didn't spoil him. Although he was still raised and disabled, it was better than becoming a sloppy brat who did all kinds of evil better.
As for Brother Cong, it was purely because the child was too skinny to catch, so he did not end up in the same fate as Aunt Zhou's son, who was trafficked and disappeared.
Knowing that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are not good people, Jia Amnesty would continue to live with them unless he was stupid.
Jia Amnesty had planned to separate the family a long time ago, but there was no reason for it all the time. Taking advantage of Jia's mother's own death this time, she insisted on bringing Mrs. Wang back. If not, let him find her. For reasons, Jia Zheng's room was allocated.
Since Mrs. Wang has a precedent of poisoning her elder brother, there is no guarantee that she will go crazy and poison their whole family to death that day. To protect himself, he, Jia She, does not live under the same roof with his poisonous brothers and sisters. his fault.
What's more, Jia Zheng still has a debt of 12 taels. He distributed Jia Zheng just to let Jia Zheng use the money he got to pay off the debt. What if he owed Jia Zheng's debt?
Don't say that this kind of thing is impossible, with the prince's temperament of desperately asking for money, this kind of thing is very possible.
You know, when the prince was the most ruthless in urging debts, he really forced the man to death. The man divided up all the children and committed suicide. He thought he would die, and the debt would follow him. If he died, then he knew that the prince directly came to the father to pay the debt, and the debt was collected by his son.
Although Jia Zheng himself has sons and grandsons, but one is young and the other is useless, there is no guarantee that the crown prince will come to a brother to pay the debts and charge Jia Zheng's debts to him.
For this matter, Jia She was troubled for an unknown period of time. As soon as she knew that Jia's mother intended to bring Mrs. Wang back, Jia She sent a letter to the Lin family, Wang family...etc.
They were asked to go to the mansion to be a witness, and they also chose to separate the family on the second day after Mrs. Wang came back, just to catch the second room by surprise.
Jia Amnesty's secrecy work is really good. Except for a few people who were specially invited by Jia Amnesty to be witnesses, Jia's mother and others really couldn't guess that Jia Amnesty had the idea of separating the family. , To Jia Mu and others, it was undoubtedly like a shock, and they were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
Jia's mother was furious, "What kind of separation! I won't allow it!"
As the saying goes, if the elders are there, the family will not be separated. She is still alive, so what kind of family should be divided properly.
She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Jia Amnesty was just speaking harshly, but she didn't expect to be serious this time.
If Jia's family splits up, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of the conflict between the first and second families to benefit from it and become her unique old lord.
She has been prosperous all her life, how come she has to live by the face of her adopted son when she is old, she absolutely does not allow this kind of thing.
Jia She said coldly: "Old lady, I'm not asking for your permission, I'm just letting you know."
Regardless of whether Jia's mother agrees or not, this family is decided for him!
When Jia She said this, everyone couldn't help gasping. The Great Jin Dynasty established the country with filial piety. If Jia She's words fell into the ears of those who cared, it could be said to be extremely unfilial.
What is even more surprising is that these words came from Jia She. You know, in order to please Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng usually compete to be filial sons. This is the first time everyone has seen Jia Amnesty was so rude to Jia's mother.
Mother Jia was so angry that she was in a bad mood. She said sharply, "What are you talking about? You dare to talk to me like this. I'm your mother. You're not filial!"
She was complacent, based on what Jia She said, even if she went to Dengwen to sue him, she was justified.
Jia She said coldly: "As the concubine of the Hou Mansion, the old lady should know the three obediences and four virtues, right? Separation of families is still a serious matter in the family, so there is no reason for women to intervene."
What Jia Amnesty said was really blunt. When Jia's mother used filial piety to suppress him, he used the three obediences and four virtues to suppress Jia's mother.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that the elders are there and the family is not separated, but the tree has a big branch, and the children and grandchildren are separated, and it is meaningless to insist on staying together.
The elders are still there, but there are many places where the family is separated, and what Jia She said is true. Although the separation of the family is a family matter, it is also a clan matter. Even if Jia She does not let Jia's mother intervene, no one else will Speak up.
Everyone pondered for a while. They heard that Jia She had stopped fooling around and studied hard behind closed doors. Everyone thought they were joking, but seeing that Jia She's words were well-founded, and he countered Jia's mother with one sentence, everyone couldn't help but Secretly admired, maybe this study behind closed doors is really true.
But even though Jia Amnesty blocked Jia Mu with one sentence, his next sentence really deserved a beating.
He bowed slightly to Jia Min, Wang Heshi, and Qin Keqing, and said apologetically, "Of course, my younger sister, Mrs. Wang, and Rong'er's family are always smart, so naturally they are not among those prodigal fools. "
Although Jia Amnesty expressed his annoyance to the three women, he never mentioned Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Jia's mother, obviously putting the three of them among the prodigal fools.
Mrs. Xing has long been used to being scolded by Jia She, and she doesn't think so. Although Mrs. Wang is annoyed that Jia She classified her as a prodigal fool, she is quite self-aware. If she argues with Jia She, Not to mention that she couldn't quarrel with Jia She, after the quarrel, Jia She, a cheap talker, might expose the fact that she poisoned her brother.
It's fine for others, but facing Brother Wu's own father, Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai's cold eyes from time to time, Mrs. Wang is still a little weak, so she can only silently say Jia Xi's "prodigal fool". I put up with it.
Only Mother Jia was really annoyed, and cursed: "Apologize! What do you mean, who is a prodigal fool!"
Jia She said coldly, "I'm talking about whoever answers."
It was just a hint before, but now it's an explicit statement.
Jia's mother was trembling with anger, but Jia She shook her head and said, "She originally wanted to save the old lady some face, but now that the old lady has confessed herself, it's really..."
Jia She had a look of regret, as if she really felt sorry for Jia's mother, Jia's mother was so angry that she almost vomited blood, when did Jia She become so eloquent?
She felt a little uneasy in her heart, how could she be Jia She's mother in name, and Jia She would never talk about her own mother, unless...
Her heart sank, she looked at Jia She with really unkind eyes.
It's not just her, although everyone knew that the Rongguo mansion had already broken up, but no matter what, they never thought that it would turn out to be so ugly. Looking at Jia Amnesty's attitude, it turned out that they didn't even want to give Jia's mother even half of the face. up.
However, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son looked at each other, and kept silent by coincidence. Even Jia Min and Lin Ruhai drank tea in silence, as if they hadn't heard it. Only Jia Zheng jumped out and said angrily: "Brother, you How can you be so disrespectful to the old lady!"
Jia Amnesty glared at Jia Zheng coldly, and said disdainfully, "What are you, worthy of talking to me like this!?"
Jia Zheng was furious, and said angrily, "Brother, I'm your real brother!"
In the past, although he and Jia She were at odds, they were not as enemies as they are now. Jia She's words really made people uncomfortable!
Jia Amnesty sneered slightly, "Brother!?"
In addition to disdain in his voice, there was also a hint of self-deprecating meaning. Others only said that Jia She was hurt by the rivalry between brothers over the years, but Jia Zheng and Jia Mu had ghosts in their hearts, and they couldn't help shrinking subconsciously. Well, speaking of it, they are really not brothers.
Even Jia Min was taken aback and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. Others were only paying attention to the brotherly rivalry between Jia She and Jia Zheng, but did not notice Jia Min's uneasy look at that moment.
Only Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min's unconscious movements at that moment, thoughtfully, and carefully looked at the faces of Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Mu, showing a bit of enlightenment, no wonder...
No wonder Jia's mother treated Jia Amnesty without any affection between mother and child, and she was only partial to Jia Zheng, so it was so.
But... Lin Ruhai couldn't help touching his chin. It is said that Jia's mother is the daughter of the waiting family, so she definitely has no reason to give up the title to the son of another woman. Even if she is willing, Jia Daishan is not the kind of dizzy Is it possible that the identity of Jia She's biological mother is not simple?
Lin Ruhai didn't know that he had guessed a bit wrong after all, mistook Jia Zheng for Jia's mother's son, but there were some mistakes, but he accidentally got close to the truth.
Jia She's voice was low, "If it's really a real brother, can Brother Zheng explain how Mrs. Zhang suddenly died in childbirth? And how did Brother Hu fall into the water?"
Jia Zheng was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out: "What does this have to do with me!?"
I don’t know how many years ago it was old rotten millet. It has nothing to do with him. Besides, it is said that he died of dystocia, fell into the water and drowned. Jia Amnesty didn’t ask himself why he didn’t take good care of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu back then. Son, otherwise, maybe these two people won't be gone.
Even though he said so, Jia Zheng couldn't help but secretly glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Jia Zheng's guilty attitude fell into everyone's eyes, and everyone gasped in unison, looking at Jia Zheng in disbelief.
There are many things in this world that one sees through and does not reveal. He thought Jia Zheng was a decent person, so he didn't even see through it. Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng actually saw through it long ago and just pretended not to know.
The first time they found out that Jia Zheng had such dark thoughts, everyone couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies. The most terrifying thing in this world is not that a decent gentleman becomes a hypocrite, but that everyone only found out in the end that the idiot actually has an IQ!
Among the crowd, the only one who was not surprised was probably Jia She, who was his bedside person after all, if Jia Zheng didn't notice a thing or two, who would believe it, it was just an idea of making a fortune in silence.
Jia She's eyes were slightly cold, and he said bluntly: "In order to prevent the incident between Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu from happening again, I must separate this family."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily: "My lord, I don't have the place for a woman to speak about such a big matter as the separation of the family, but what the lord said both inside and outside implies that I have harmed my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law." Brother Hu, I have to argue this matter."
She blushed and said angrily: "Since I married into the Rongguo Mansion, I have always kept my duty. How could I do something that killed my elder sister-in-law and nephew? My elder brother's words have insulted the reputation of my daughter-in-law. I have to make it clear for the women of my Wang clan."
She glanced at Wang He smugly, even if the second sister-in-law and her were not on good terms, but Wang He also had a daughter under her knees, and she didn't believe that Wang He would not care about her daughter's reputation.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang He's face couldn't help showing a bit of distress.
Jia She said: "You can tell a thing or two if you can make a move on brother べ who is only three years old. If you really want to investigate..."
Jia She sneered, everything was kept silent, not only that, but he also glanced at Jia Mu intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were all on Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and the two who looked directly were really uneasy.
Mrs. Wang's heart sank. She knew in her heart that this matter cannot be investigated. Although Zhang's death had nothing to do with her, she was the one who helped Mother Jia, and Brother Hu...
Mrs. Wang's heart tightened, she really didn't know how much Jia She knew.
In fact, although Jia Amnesty knew a lot, he really didn't have much evidence. If there was evidence, he would have directly dragged Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to Laodeng Wengu, and that would have allowed these two people to continue to act presumptuously in front of him. .
Jia amnesty said the word 'check', which made Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng afraid to speak out, and even Jia's mother fell silent for a while.
Jia Amnesty took all the reactions of Jia Mu and others into consideration coldly, and said loudly: "The tree is a big branch, Jia Zheng and I are both grandfathers, and it's time to separate our families. Please be your witnesses."
Everyone hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, but dared not speak up.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty really had the tendency to force them to separate their families, Jia Zheng blushed and then turned pale, and gritted his teeth, "I don't want to separate families!"
Although he is pedantic, he is not stupid. As long as the family is not separated, he is the upright second master of Rongguo Mansion. Everyone has to respect him when he goes there, but if the family is separated, what is left of him is nothing more than It's just a small sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry. In a place like the capital, if you drop a plaque casually, you might hit a sixth-rank official.
No matter how good the Wang family is at the moment, but his surname is Jia and not Wang, plus the differences in civil and military, how much advantage can he get?So Jia Zheng refused to separate the family no matter what.
"That's right!" Mother Jia also insisted, "I also oppose separation."
Her eyes were slightly cold, "If She'er insists on going her own way, then don't blame her mother for going to Lao Deng to hear the drums."
The matter of family separation can be big or small, of course Jia She can talk about it in a big way, but she can also talk about it in a small way, it depends on who has the ability.
As for the matter of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu, Mrs. Wang was the one who did it back then, not her. If it really made a big fuss, Mrs. Wang was just unlucky, so it has nothing to do with her. What's wrong with my daughter-in-law and grandson! ?
She is Jia She's mother, and based on this alone, she is invincible.
Seeing Jia Mu's support, Jia Zheng was overjoyed at the moment, and said proudly, "That's right, I just don't want to separate families."
For the first time, he became a rascal like Jia She.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help showing a somewhat complicated expression. Ever since he guessed the backgrounds of the Jia family's mother and son, he had been wondering where his elder brother's scoundrel temperament came from. Father-in-law is more likely.
I really didn't expect that my father-in-law turned out to be such a person!
Thinking back to the unique status of father-in-law in the court, and how he was still so missed by Emperor Pingkang even after he passed away for many years, sure enough, thick-skinned people are still popular in the court.
Not to mention Lin Ruhai's divergent thinking for a while, Jia's mother insisted not to let the Rongguo Mansion split up because of her seniority, and Jia Zheng also messed up. The rest of the witnesses all stood by and did not participate in this matter.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty lost to Jia's mother and son teaming up, this matter is about to get stuck...
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from outside the Rongqing hall, and the prince suddenly walked in from outside, and said with a smile: "What's so troublesome that it's time to go to Dengwengu? Why don't you let Gu come to comment?"
Everyone couldn't help but stare blankly, looking at Jia She with a bit of a strange look in their eyes.
When did Jia She climb up to be the crown prince?However, for a trivial matter of family division, the prince could still be asked to help him uphold justice.
The faces of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were even more ugly. They were also convinced that the Wang family was powerful recently, and they forgave the government not to be partial to the Wang family when they dared not judge the case, but when they met the prince...
Although the Wang family has done a lot of important things recently, but what is the status of the crown prince, it needs to please the Wang family. Moreover, Jia She has a secret friendship with the crown prince. If the crown prince favors Jia She...
Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's heart sank, knowing that today's family separation may be inevitable.
Sure enough, when he heard the prince's voice, Jia She's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome the prince in, and said with a smile: "Thank you, prince, my mother is upset about the fact that She wants to divide the family."
The crown prince had heard something from Jia She earlier, he pondered slightly, and said bluntly: "The tree is a big branch, you and Jia Zheng are both grandfathers, and it is not a big deal to separate the family."
Even the aristocratic families in central Beijing have no reason not to separate the family. As early as when Jia Lian was an adult, the Rongguo Mansion should have been divided, and it has been delayed for a long time.
"Besides..." the crown prince paused, with a bright smile on his face that said Lao Tzu had malicious intentions, and continued: "After the family is separated, Master Jia Er will have the money to pay back the money owed to the treasury."
That's right!If it weren't for this point, the crown prince would never have taken care of the division of the Rongguo Mansion!
Everything is for money!
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but roll their dead fish eyes. Sure enough, the prince is still such a prince!
I don't know when it started, but the prince has already had a nickname called 'Dig the Ground Three Feet'!Soil can be dug out of standard stones to fill debts, and it can be regarded as No. 1 in the capital.
Both Jia's mother and Jia Zheng became angry in an instant. Could it be that the prince came to help Jia amnesty and force them to separate the family, just to fill the national treasury with the property that Jia Zheng received?
Jia Zheng wanted to be disrespectful for a moment, but the next moment, the prince directly and ruthlessly smashed all his hopes, only to hear the prince sigh a long time, "It's not easy to be in the Jin Dynasty, you have to use it everywhere." Silver, it is rare that Mr. Jia understands the righteousness and considers the country, let the Rongguo Mansion separate the family to pay back the silver, I thank you in advance."
have to!A trivial matter such as family separation suddenly rises to a major national issue, what else can Jia Mu and Jia Zheng say.
With the crown prince's backing, Jia Amnesty continued to divide the family without hesitation.
He waved his hand, and saw Butler Mo immediately brought the Rongguo Mansion's account books over the years to the front, and said with a smile: "My lord, the Rongguo Mansion's account books over the years and the list in the warehouse are all here."
Housekeeper Mo paused and said: "The villain has been checked by someone. It turns out that when the eldest wife passed away, Rongguo Mansion had 10 acres of land, more than [-] shops, and warehouses in addition to the meritorious fields. There are about [-] taels of cash and some items in Limo, but now there are only [-] pieces of land and more than [-] shops left. As for the cash... only [-] taels of silver are left."
Even the [-] taels of silver are mostly the rent that has just been collected this year, which shows that the Rongguo Mansion is really in the red.
Not only that, but housekeeper Mo continued: "Most of the lost property fell into the name of the second wife's in-laws, Mrs. Xue, or the name of the second wife's accompanying room. The name of the young master; as for the disappeared shops, eight are under the name of the old lady, and four are under the name of the old lady's accompanying room—the Lai family. As for the cash and other things..."
Butler Mo sighed helplessly: "I'm so incompetent, I only found out that the second master entered the public treasury a few times, and every time he didn't empty his hands, he took something more or less. As for the others...it's really difficult to check."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really have their own preferences, one likes to deal with shops, the other likes to deal with land properties, and Jia Zheng likes to deal with white money. The family of three is neat and tidy, and they cooperate really well.
Jia Amnesty nodded, "Please don't bother the housekeeper."
As expected of the staff left to him by his grandparents, he was able to find out the whereabouts of the money in just a few days. This ability is considered rare in Beijing.
He directly passed down the account books of Rongguo Mansion for everyone to take a look at. Steward Mo is indeed a great accountant. Not only did he clearly mark the front and rear account books after Mrs. Several fraudulent accounts were also caught.
Although there are only a few places, but based on these few places, one can guess that Mrs. Wang has made money from the Rongguo Mansion's public treasury over the years.
Only at this moment did everyone realize how powerful Jia She is.
Originally, Jia She quietly informed the relatives that it was not easy to arrange for Mrs. Wang to separate the family immediately after returning home, but although this is not easy, after careful analysis, it is not difficult.
After all, everyone just walked back to the Rongguo Mansion, which was nothing, as long as Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were executed and put to death.
However, it is not an easy task to investigate the messy accounts in Rongguo Mansion under the eyes of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. It's really not easy to not have the ability to make Jia Mu and Jia Zheng aware of it.
In just a few years, the family property of Rongguo Mansion has shrunk to such an extent that it is absolutely impossible to say that Mrs. Wang did not get involved in it. For a while, everyone looked at Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu with unfriendly eyes. Embarrassed, want to argue but can't argue.
Not only that, the prince also added fuel to the fire, clapping his hands and laughing: "No wonder we were able to find so much silver from Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall a while ago."
have to!The prince's words can be said to have confirmed the fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were short of public funds.
Others were just fine, Jia Min's face turned blue and white, it was really ugly, and there was a hint of sadness in the eyes looking at Jia's mother, Jia's mother was also her own mother, and her biological mother made such a thing, she still What face.
Jia Mu only glanced at the account book, her face was ashen, and she said in a vicious voice, "What do you want?"
With the crown prince around, it is impossible to force Jia Amnesty to separate the family with the power of the elders, and the evidence Jia Amnesty brought out of the shortfall of public funds even trampled her face under her feet.
She didn't know what Jia Amnesty had left undisclosed, and she didn't want to know, now Jia's mother just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, so as not to procrastinate any longer.
If it dragged on any longer, Jia Amnesty might tear off even the last bit of her face.
Jia Amnesty said briskly, "Separate the family!"
Jia She said with a straight face: "According to the rules, apart from the titles that cannot be divided, mansions, meritorious service fields, and gifts from the imperial court... the eldest son will account for [-]%, and the other sons will account for the third son. Then divide the family according to this rule, and please be a witness."
As soon as Jia She said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, Jia She and Jia Zheng really had a lot of trouble.
Although the general division of the family is based on the rule of [-]% for the eldest son and [-]% for the other sons, it also depends on the situation. The bulk of Rongguo Mansion's property has been lost.
Generally speaking, if you take the majority, you might as well raise your hand, or just give Jia Zheng a little more money, so that Jia Zheng's life will be easier. After all, everyone knows that after the prince's debt collection, the Rongguo Mansion will also Really poor.
There is not much property left in the mansion, and Jia Zheng still owes money to the state treasury. If the crown prince takes it, he still does not know how much he can keep. Giving him a little more will not make Jia Zheng poor. Cone land.
The more Jia She followed the rules, the more everyone could see that the conflict between Jia She and Jia Zheng had really reached a point of no return.
Jia Min showed a slight sympathy, her palms were fleshy, and the backs of her hands were also fleshy. How could Jia She and Jia Zheng both be her own brothers. Although she was partial to Jia She, she didn't want to see Jia Zheng's life really difficult.
She couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade her, but Lin Ruhai gave her a hand and glanced at Mrs. Wang.
The implication of Lin Ruhai's words was to make her think about Mrs. Wang, maybe Jia Zheng was innocent, but who told him to marry Mrs. Wang, besides...
Lin Ruhai said softly: "You see, Wang's natal family didn't say a word."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang's family is Mrs. Wang's natal family, and she is the one who is most qualified to speak in the face of unfair family division, but she doesn't even say a word, obviously she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the division fair.
Jia Min hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking, Lin Ruhai said so rightly, Wang He didn't say anything, what was she talking about, besides, Mrs. Wang was going to poison Brother ラ, and their Lin family hasn't done it yet.
Ever since, Jia Min stopped talking and drank his tea with his head down.
It never occurred to Jia Zheng that there was no one in the huge Rongqing hall to help him speak, and even Jia Mu was wise enough to protect herself and stopped talking.
He was angry at the moment, sad and angry at the moment, and said angrily: "You...you all bully me, a fatherless and motherless person!"
As soon as Jia Zheng said these words, everyone couldn't help but feel cold. If these words came from Jia Baoyu's mouth, everyone might still be able to speak childishly, but now these words are said from the mouth of Jia Zheng, who is also a grandfather. Looking at Jia Zheng's full face, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Jia Zhen's mind has always been full of yellow waste, and her thoughts are always in the direction of color. Thinking of Jia's mother's eccentric habits in the past, he couldn't help touching his chin, wondering if Jia's mother just liked it. This tune?
On the other hand, Jia Mu's face turned white instantly, and she looked at Jia Zheng with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
The sentence of "no father and no mother" fell into the ears of others and said that Jia Zheng said it smoothly, but Jia's mother had a ghost in her heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility. She glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely. If she had known this, she should have directly At the risk of offending the Wang family, he solved Mrs. Wang without anyone noticing.
Jia Amnesty cracked his lips and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was bullying Jia Zheng, what!If you have the ability to bite him!
The matter has come to this point, even if Jia Zheng complains ten times more, it will not change the separation of the family. Seeing that the separation of the family is really going to be done according to the rules of the seven concubines and the three, Mrs. Wang anxiously pulled Wang He's clothes and said: "Two Sister-in-law, you have to help me."
Her dowry is gone, and the private house left at Baoyu's place is gone, and only [-]% of the family property is enough for them to live on.
Wang He's eyes were slightly cold, he coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Jia, it may be unfair to divide the family like this."
"Oh!" Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is Mrs. Wang's opinion?"
Wang He cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Sister She has done a lot of business over the years, and she has really lost a lot of money. It is not good for the Jia family to suffer this loss. Those losses... should also be attributed to the [-]% of the second house. .”
When Wang He said this, everyone couldn't help gasping. Wang He clearly wanted Erfang to compensate Rongguo Mansion for the land and shops lost by Wang's housekeeper over the years!
Of course, Wang He's words are also reasonable. If Mrs. Wang's shortfalls in Rongguo Mansion over the years are not counted, and [-]% of the property is given to the second house, wouldn't it be too cheap for the second house.
It's just that everyone also understands that no matter how much Erfang made from the Rongguo Mansion, after the crown prince's debt collection, all the money that was raised will also fall into the national treasury. It's the cleanest warehouse in Rongguo Mansion, so everyone didn't argue about it.
After all, Erfang only has [-]% of the family property, which is not much at all. Once this "loss" is calculated, what is left of Erfang, let alone asking Jia Zheng to pay back the money owed to the treasury, I am afraid that there will be no money to stand in the future. up.
Jia She took a deep look at Wang Heshi, and said happily: "What Mrs. Wang said is true, so let's do it according to this principle."
Mrs. Wang screamed, pointed at Wang He's nose and said angrily, "You... how dare you! I want my second brother to divorce you!"
It's just a hen that can't lay eggs. If it wasn't for her second brother's kindness, Wang He would have a good life now!Unexpectedly, Wang He didn't know how to respect the whole Wang family, and even humiliated the elder sister-in-law to death.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she cursed and uttered all kinds of unpleasant words. During the time she was in the family temple, it was impossible for her to reflect on herself. What she usually did most was to curse Jia Min and Jia Min over and over again. Mother, now used on Wang He's body.
It was appropriate, the viciousness of the words was beyond everyone's expectations, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would not have believed their ears.
Wang He raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed: "The hysteria of the eldest sister is getting worse."
She whispered a few words to Nanny He, and Nanny He understood, and directly led a few thick servants to suppress Mrs. Wang, and conveniently stuffed a rag into Mrs. Wang's mouth so that she would not say anything. Three or four words come out.
Wang He looked at it, the smile on his face never faded, and he said to Jia She hypocritically annoyed: "My eldest sister is seriously ill, please forgive me, Lord Jia."
Wang He's words are gentle, but coupled with Nanny He's quick, ruthless, and precise movements, and a well-trained servant girl who can be seen at a glance, and the Wang family doesn't even know when to prepare the hemp rope. Now, everyone will know that the problem between Mrs. Wang and Wang He's sister-in-law is probably not small.
Jia She coughed lightly, and said directly, "Madam Wang, please go easy."
Wang He nodded slightly, "Thank you Master Jia for your understanding."
As for the sauce, Wang He made a move, and immediately asked Mrs. Wang to rest.
Mrs. Wang He directly asked Mrs. Wang to be escorted back, so as not to embarrass her in the Rongqing Hall. No matter how the Wang family still has face, it is not good for Mrs. Wang to continue to be possessed by a mad woman in the Rongqing Hall From the beginning to the end, no one asked Jia Zheng what he meant.
However, Jia Zheng has been very tired of Mrs. Wang for a long time. Wang He took the initiative to accept Mrs. Wang's hysteria, so Jia Zheng would not refuse. As for Mrs. Jia...
Ever since she realized that Jia Zheng might know something, her heart has faded away; moreover, she has long secretly regretted the look between Wang He and Mrs. Wang, if she had known this, she would not have used it. Fei's thoughts brought Mrs. Wang out of the family temple.
The prince coughed lightly, "Lord Jia, let's separate as soon as possible."
For that matter, under Wang He's suggestion, Jia Amnesty divided the family again, and this time it was very fair to include all the lost land and shops in the calculation.
Of course, it is obvious that the shops that were swallowed up by Jia's mother, as well as the money that Jia Zheng took from them, were not counted. Counting it in, the prince really will return empty-handed this time.
Originally, according to the rules of seven concubines and three concubines, Jia Zheng would be able to share about 10 taels of property, plus a three-entry courtyard in the back street of Rongguo Mansion, but according to the new algorithm mentioned by Wang He, Jia In the end, Zheng only got a few thousand taels of silver, and some antique calligraphy and paintings that couldn't be bought at a high price.
Not only that, after the separation, Jia Amnesty immediately asked Jia Baoyu, Li Wan's mother and son to collect their luggage, and together with Jia Zheng and his wife, sent them to the Sanjin courtyard in the back street.
In the past, Jia's mother would never have let Jia Baoyu leave her house like this, but now she still remembers Jia Zheng's saying that she has no father and no mother, so she can take care of Baoyu.
As a result, all of the second room was sent away by Jia Amnesty, and everyone showed signs of uneasiness, not knowing what would happen next.
To make matters worse, the money in Jia Zheng's hands was taken away by the prince before it was warmed up.
The prince frowned dissatisfied, and wanted to say something else, but seeing Jia Zheng's face turned pale, he decided to leave it at that. He just glanced at Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu thoughtfully, and said lightly: " Master Jia, don’t forget to come to the household department tomorrow, let’s talk about how to pay back the remaining money.”
It is impossible to count on Jia Zheng to repay the money, so it is better to count on his son and grandson.
As soon as the crown prince said this, except for Baoyu, who was vaguely understanding, everyone's faces turned pale, especially Li Wan's mother and son, whose faces were as ugly as they could be. At a glance, it is obvious that there is a bit of despair.
In terms of status, Lang Geer is the eldest son and grandson, and he is duty-bound; in terms of emotion, no one knows that Mrs. Wang has always favored Jia Baoyu, so naturally she is reluctant to let Baoyu bear such a large debt.
Thinking of Lan Ge'er being sacrificed like this, Li Wan couldn't help sobbing and crying for a moment.
Mrs. Wang was also very anxious, and hurriedly pulled Jia Zheng's clothes and said, "Master! This is not going to work. We can't let our Baoyu bear this debt!"
12 taels of silver, even if Jia Zheng used all kinds of methods to rob him, he only paid back a small half.
The so-called Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone. In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have been trying to get along with each other all these years. It's just that he thinks that he still has Brother Lian under his knees, and at worst, he still has Cong. Brother, it's never Jia Zheng's turn.
In addition, because of his filial piety at that time, he really couldn't deal with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who were favorably protected by Jia's mother, so he turned a blind eye, closed his eye, and endured it!
But thinking about it now, Jia She only wanted to slap him to death when he was innocent and unpretentious.
How could he be so stupid then! ?
Knowing that Mrs. Wang is one of the most poisonous women, and Jia Zheng is a traitor, it is extremely stupid to hand over Lian's brother to Jia's mother to raise him.
Fortunately, Brother Lian himself is well-behaved, coupled with Zhao Mama's secret teaching, so Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang didn't spoil him. Although he was still raised and disabled, it was better than becoming a sloppy brat who did all kinds of evil better.
As for Brother Cong, it was purely because the child was too skinny to catch, so he did not end up in the same fate as Aunt Zhou's son, who was trafficked and disappeared.
Knowing that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are not good people, Jia Amnesty would continue to live with them unless he was stupid.
Jia Amnesty had planned to separate the family a long time ago, but there was no reason for it all the time. Taking advantage of Jia's mother's own death this time, she insisted on bringing Mrs. Wang back. If not, let him find her. For reasons, Jia Zheng's room was allocated.
Since Mrs. Wang has a precedent of poisoning her elder brother, there is no guarantee that she will go crazy and poison their whole family to death that day. To protect himself, he, Jia She, does not live under the same roof with his poisonous brothers and sisters. his fault.
What's more, Jia Zheng still has a debt of 12 taels. He distributed Jia Zheng just to let Jia Zheng use the money he got to pay off the debt. What if he owed Jia Zheng's debt?
Don't say that this kind of thing is impossible, with the prince's temperament of desperately asking for money, this kind of thing is very possible.
You know, when the prince was the most ruthless in urging debts, he really forced the man to death. The man divided up all the children and committed suicide. He thought he would die, and the debt would follow him. If he died, then he knew that the prince directly came to the father to pay the debt, and the debt was collected by his son.
Although Jia Zheng himself has sons and grandsons, but one is young and the other is useless, there is no guarantee that the crown prince will come to a brother to pay the debts and charge Jia Zheng's debts to him.
For this matter, Jia She was troubled for an unknown period of time. As soon as she knew that Jia's mother intended to bring Mrs. Wang back, Jia She sent a letter to the Lin family, Wang family...etc.
They were asked to go to the mansion to be a witness, and they also chose to separate the family on the second day after Mrs. Wang came back, just to catch the second room by surprise.
Jia Amnesty's secrecy work is really good. Except for a few people who were specially invited by Jia Amnesty to be witnesses, Jia's mother and others really couldn't guess that Jia Amnesty had the idea of separating the family. , To Jia Mu and others, it was undoubtedly like a shock, and they were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
Jia's mother was furious, "What kind of separation! I won't allow it!"
As the saying goes, if the elders are there, the family will not be separated. She is still alive, so what kind of family should be divided properly.
She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Jia Amnesty was just speaking harshly, but she didn't expect to be serious this time.
If Jia's family splits up, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of the conflict between the first and second families to benefit from it and become her unique old lord.
She has been prosperous all her life, how come she has to live by the face of her adopted son when she is old, she absolutely does not allow this kind of thing.
Jia She said coldly: "Old lady, I'm not asking for your permission, I'm just letting you know."
Regardless of whether Jia's mother agrees or not, this family is decided for him!
When Jia She said this, everyone couldn't help gasping. The Great Jin Dynasty established the country with filial piety. If Jia She's words fell into the ears of those who cared, it could be said to be extremely unfilial.
What is even more surprising is that these words came from Jia She. You know, in order to please Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng usually compete to be filial sons. This is the first time everyone has seen Jia Amnesty was so rude to Jia's mother.
Mother Jia was so angry that she was in a bad mood. She said sharply, "What are you talking about? You dare to talk to me like this. I'm your mother. You're not filial!"
She was complacent, based on what Jia She said, even if she went to Dengwen to sue him, she was justified.
Jia She said coldly: "As the concubine of the Hou Mansion, the old lady should know the three obediences and four virtues, right? Separation of families is still a serious matter in the family, so there is no reason for women to intervene."
What Jia Amnesty said was really blunt. When Jia's mother used filial piety to suppress him, he used the three obediences and four virtues to suppress Jia's mother.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that the elders are there and the family is not separated, but the tree has a big branch, and the children and grandchildren are separated, and it is meaningless to insist on staying together.
The elders are still there, but there are many places where the family is separated, and what Jia She said is true. Although the separation of the family is a family matter, it is also a clan matter. Even if Jia She does not let Jia's mother intervene, no one else will Speak up.
Everyone pondered for a while. They heard that Jia She had stopped fooling around and studied hard behind closed doors. Everyone thought they were joking, but seeing that Jia She's words were well-founded, and he countered Jia's mother with one sentence, everyone couldn't help but Secretly admired, maybe this study behind closed doors is really true.
But even though Jia Amnesty blocked Jia Mu with one sentence, his next sentence really deserved a beating.
He bowed slightly to Jia Min, Wang Heshi, and Qin Keqing, and said apologetically, "Of course, my younger sister, Mrs. Wang, and Rong'er's family are always smart, so naturally they are not among those prodigal fools. "
Although Jia Amnesty expressed his annoyance to the three women, he never mentioned Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Jia's mother, obviously putting the three of them among the prodigal fools.
Mrs. Xing has long been used to being scolded by Jia She, and she doesn't think so. Although Mrs. Wang is annoyed that Jia She classified her as a prodigal fool, she is quite self-aware. If she argues with Jia She, Not to mention that she couldn't quarrel with Jia She, after the quarrel, Jia She, a cheap talker, might expose the fact that she poisoned her brother.
It's fine for others, but facing Brother Wu's own father, Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai's cold eyes from time to time, Mrs. Wang is still a little weak, so she can only silently say Jia Xi's "prodigal fool". I put up with it.
Only Mother Jia was really annoyed, and cursed: "Apologize! What do you mean, who is a prodigal fool!"
Jia She said coldly, "I'm talking about whoever answers."
It was just a hint before, but now it's an explicit statement.
Jia's mother was trembling with anger, but Jia She shook her head and said, "She originally wanted to save the old lady some face, but now that the old lady has confessed herself, it's really..."
Jia She had a look of regret, as if she really felt sorry for Jia's mother, Jia's mother was so angry that she almost vomited blood, when did Jia She become so eloquent?
She felt a little uneasy in her heart, how could she be Jia She's mother in name, and Jia She would never talk about her own mother, unless...
Her heart sank, she looked at Jia She with really unkind eyes.
It's not just her, although everyone knew that the Rongguo mansion had already broken up, but no matter what, they never thought that it would turn out to be so ugly. Looking at Jia Amnesty's attitude, it turned out that they didn't even want to give Jia's mother even half of the face. up.
However, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son looked at each other, and kept silent by coincidence. Even Jia Min and Lin Ruhai drank tea in silence, as if they hadn't heard it. Only Jia Zheng jumped out and said angrily: "Brother, you How can you be so disrespectful to the old lady!"
Jia Amnesty glared at Jia Zheng coldly, and said disdainfully, "What are you, worthy of talking to me like this!?"
Jia Zheng was furious, and said angrily, "Brother, I'm your real brother!"
In the past, although he and Jia She were at odds, they were not as enemies as they are now. Jia She's words really made people uncomfortable!
Jia Amnesty sneered slightly, "Brother!?"
In addition to disdain in his voice, there was also a hint of self-deprecating meaning. Others only said that Jia She was hurt by the rivalry between brothers over the years, but Jia Zheng and Jia Mu had ghosts in their hearts, and they couldn't help shrinking subconsciously. Well, speaking of it, they are really not brothers.
Even Jia Min was taken aback and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. Others were only paying attention to the brotherly rivalry between Jia She and Jia Zheng, but did not notice Jia Min's uneasy look at that moment.
Only Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min's unconscious movements at that moment, thoughtfully, and carefully looked at the faces of Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Mu, showing a bit of enlightenment, no wonder...
No wonder Jia's mother treated Jia Amnesty without any affection between mother and child, and she was only partial to Jia Zheng, so it was so.
But... Lin Ruhai couldn't help touching his chin. It is said that Jia's mother is the daughter of the waiting family, so she definitely has no reason to give up the title to the son of another woman. Even if she is willing, Jia Daishan is not the kind of dizzy Is it possible that the identity of Jia She's biological mother is not simple?
Lin Ruhai didn't know that he had guessed a bit wrong after all, mistook Jia Zheng for Jia's mother's son, but there were some mistakes, but he accidentally got close to the truth.
Jia She's voice was low, "If it's really a real brother, can Brother Zheng explain how Mrs. Zhang suddenly died in childbirth? And how did Brother Hu fall into the water?"
Jia Zheng was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out: "What does this have to do with me!?"
I don’t know how many years ago it was old rotten millet. It has nothing to do with him. Besides, it is said that he died of dystocia, fell into the water and drowned. Jia Amnesty didn’t ask himself why he didn’t take good care of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu back then. Son, otherwise, maybe these two people won't be gone.
Even though he said so, Jia Zheng couldn't help but secretly glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Jia Zheng's guilty attitude fell into everyone's eyes, and everyone gasped in unison, looking at Jia Zheng in disbelief.
There are many things in this world that one sees through and does not reveal. He thought Jia Zheng was a decent person, so he didn't even see through it. Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng actually saw through it long ago and just pretended not to know.
The first time they found out that Jia Zheng had such dark thoughts, everyone couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies. The most terrifying thing in this world is not that a decent gentleman becomes a hypocrite, but that everyone only found out in the end that the idiot actually has an IQ!
Among the crowd, the only one who was not surprised was probably Jia She, who was his bedside person after all, if Jia Zheng didn't notice a thing or two, who would believe it, it was just an idea of making a fortune in silence.
Jia She's eyes were slightly cold, and he said bluntly: "In order to prevent the incident between Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu from happening again, I must separate this family."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily: "My lord, I don't have the place for a woman to speak about such a big matter as the separation of the family, but what the lord said both inside and outside implies that I have harmed my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law." Brother Hu, I have to argue this matter."
She blushed and said angrily: "Since I married into the Rongguo Mansion, I have always kept my duty. How could I do something that killed my elder sister-in-law and nephew? My elder brother's words have insulted the reputation of my daughter-in-law. I have to make it clear for the women of my Wang clan."
She glanced at Wang He smugly, even if the second sister-in-law and her were not on good terms, but Wang He also had a daughter under her knees, and she didn't believe that Wang He would not care about her daughter's reputation.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang He's face couldn't help showing a bit of distress.
Jia She said: "You can tell a thing or two if you can make a move on brother べ who is only three years old. If you really want to investigate..."
Jia She sneered, everything was kept silent, not only that, but he also glanced at Jia Mu intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were all on Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and the two who looked directly were really uneasy.
Mrs. Wang's heart sank. She knew in her heart that this matter cannot be investigated. Although Zhang's death had nothing to do with her, she was the one who helped Mother Jia, and Brother Hu...
Mrs. Wang's heart tightened, she really didn't know how much Jia She knew.
In fact, although Jia Amnesty knew a lot, he really didn't have much evidence. If there was evidence, he would have directly dragged Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to Laodeng Wengu, and that would have allowed these two people to continue to act presumptuously in front of him. .
Jia amnesty said the word 'check', which made Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng afraid to speak out, and even Jia's mother fell silent for a while.
Jia Amnesty took all the reactions of Jia Mu and others into consideration coldly, and said loudly: "The tree is a big branch, Jia Zheng and I are both grandfathers, and it's time to separate our families. Please be your witnesses."
Everyone hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, but dared not speak up.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty really had the tendency to force them to separate their families, Jia Zheng blushed and then turned pale, and gritted his teeth, "I don't want to separate families!"
Although he is pedantic, he is not stupid. As long as the family is not separated, he is the upright second master of Rongguo Mansion. Everyone has to respect him when he goes there, but if the family is separated, what is left of him is nothing more than It's just a small sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry. In a place like the capital, if you drop a plaque casually, you might hit a sixth-rank official.
No matter how good the Wang family is at the moment, but his surname is Jia and not Wang, plus the differences in civil and military, how much advantage can he get?So Jia Zheng refused to separate the family no matter what.
"That's right!" Mother Jia also insisted, "I also oppose separation."
Her eyes were slightly cold, "If She'er insists on going her own way, then don't blame her mother for going to Lao Deng to hear the drums."
The matter of family separation can be big or small, of course Jia She can talk about it in a big way, but she can also talk about it in a small way, it depends on who has the ability.
As for the matter of Mrs. Zhang and Brother Hu, Mrs. Wang was the one who did it back then, not her. If it really made a big fuss, Mrs. Wang was just unlucky, so it has nothing to do with her. What's wrong with my daughter-in-law and grandson! ?
She is Jia She's mother, and based on this alone, she is invincible.
Seeing Jia Mu's support, Jia Zheng was overjoyed at the moment, and said proudly, "That's right, I just don't want to separate families."
For the first time, he became a rascal like Jia She.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help showing a somewhat complicated expression. Ever since he guessed the backgrounds of the Jia family's mother and son, he had been wondering where his elder brother's scoundrel temperament came from. Father-in-law is more likely.
I really didn't expect that my father-in-law turned out to be such a person!
Thinking back to the unique status of father-in-law in the court, and how he was still so missed by Emperor Pingkang even after he passed away for many years, sure enough, thick-skinned people are still popular in the court.
Not to mention Lin Ruhai's divergent thinking for a while, Jia's mother insisted not to let the Rongguo Mansion split up because of her seniority, and Jia Zheng also messed up. The rest of the witnesses all stood by and did not participate in this matter.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty lost to Jia's mother and son teaming up, this matter is about to get stuck...
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from outside the Rongqing hall, and the prince suddenly walked in from outside, and said with a smile: "What's so troublesome that it's time to go to Dengwengu? Why don't you let Gu come to comment?"
Everyone couldn't help but stare blankly, looking at Jia She with a bit of a strange look in their eyes.
When did Jia She climb up to be the crown prince?However, for a trivial matter of family division, the prince could still be asked to help him uphold justice.
The faces of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were even more ugly. They were also convinced that the Wang family was powerful recently, and they forgave the government not to be partial to the Wang family when they dared not judge the case, but when they met the prince...
Although the Wang family has done a lot of important things recently, but what is the status of the crown prince, it needs to please the Wang family. Moreover, Jia She has a secret friendship with the crown prince. If the crown prince favors Jia She...
Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's heart sank, knowing that today's family separation may be inevitable.
Sure enough, when he heard the prince's voice, Jia She's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome the prince in, and said with a smile: "Thank you, prince, my mother is upset about the fact that She wants to divide the family."
The crown prince had heard something from Jia She earlier, he pondered slightly, and said bluntly: "The tree is a big branch, you and Jia Zheng are both grandfathers, and it is not a big deal to separate the family."
Even the aristocratic families in central Beijing have no reason not to separate the family. As early as when Jia Lian was an adult, the Rongguo Mansion should have been divided, and it has been delayed for a long time.
"Besides..." the crown prince paused, with a bright smile on his face that said Lao Tzu had malicious intentions, and continued: "After the family is separated, Master Jia Er will have the money to pay back the money owed to the treasury."
That's right!If it weren't for this point, the crown prince would never have taken care of the division of the Rongguo Mansion!
Everything is for money!
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but roll their dead fish eyes. Sure enough, the prince is still such a prince!
I don't know when it started, but the prince has already had a nickname called 'Dig the Ground Three Feet'!Soil can be dug out of standard stones to fill debts, and it can be regarded as No. 1 in the capital.
Both Jia's mother and Jia Zheng became angry in an instant. Could it be that the prince came to help Jia amnesty and force them to separate the family, just to fill the national treasury with the property that Jia Zheng received?
Jia Zheng wanted to be disrespectful for a moment, but the next moment, the prince directly and ruthlessly smashed all his hopes, only to hear the prince sigh a long time, "It's not easy to be in the Jin Dynasty, you have to use it everywhere." Silver, it is rare that Mr. Jia understands the righteousness and considers the country, let the Rongguo Mansion separate the family to pay back the silver, I thank you in advance."
have to!A trivial matter such as family separation suddenly rises to a major national issue, what else can Jia Mu and Jia Zheng say.
With the crown prince's backing, Jia Amnesty continued to divide the family without hesitation.
He waved his hand, and saw Butler Mo immediately brought the Rongguo Mansion's account books over the years to the front, and said with a smile: "My lord, the Rongguo Mansion's account books over the years and the list in the warehouse are all here."
Housekeeper Mo paused and said: "The villain has been checked by someone. It turns out that when the eldest wife passed away, Rongguo Mansion had 10 acres of land, more than [-] shops, and warehouses in addition to the meritorious fields. There are about [-] taels of cash and some items in Limo, but now there are only [-] pieces of land and more than [-] shops left. As for the cash... only [-] taels of silver are left."
Even the [-] taels of silver are mostly the rent that has just been collected this year, which shows that the Rongguo Mansion is really in the red.
Not only that, but housekeeper Mo continued: "Most of the lost property fell into the name of the second wife's in-laws, Mrs. Xue, or the name of the second wife's accompanying room. The name of the young master; as for the disappeared shops, eight are under the name of the old lady, and four are under the name of the old lady's accompanying room—the Lai family. As for the cash and other things..."
Butler Mo sighed helplessly: "I'm so incompetent, I only found out that the second master entered the public treasury a few times, and every time he didn't empty his hands, he took something more or less. As for the others...it's really difficult to check."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really have their own preferences, one likes to deal with shops, the other likes to deal with land properties, and Jia Zheng likes to deal with white money. The family of three is neat and tidy, and they cooperate really well.
Jia Amnesty nodded, "Please don't bother the housekeeper."
As expected of the staff left to him by his grandparents, he was able to find out the whereabouts of the money in just a few days. This ability is considered rare in Beijing.
He directly passed down the account books of Rongguo Mansion for everyone to take a look at. Steward Mo is indeed a great accountant. Not only did he clearly mark the front and rear account books after Mrs. Several fraudulent accounts were also caught.
Although there are only a few places, but based on these few places, one can guess that Mrs. Wang has made money from the Rongguo Mansion's public treasury over the years.
Only at this moment did everyone realize how powerful Jia She is.
Originally, Jia She quietly informed the relatives that it was not easy to arrange for Mrs. Wang to separate the family immediately after returning home, but although this is not easy, after careful analysis, it is not difficult.
After all, everyone just walked back to the Rongguo Mansion, which was nothing, as long as Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were executed and put to death.
However, it is not an easy task to investigate the messy accounts in Rongguo Mansion under the eyes of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. It's really not easy to not have the ability to make Jia Mu and Jia Zheng aware of it.
In just a few years, the family property of Rongguo Mansion has shrunk to such an extent that it is absolutely impossible to say that Mrs. Wang did not get involved in it. For a while, everyone looked at Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu with unfriendly eyes. Embarrassed, want to argue but can't argue.
Not only that, the prince also added fuel to the fire, clapping his hands and laughing: "No wonder we were able to find so much silver from Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall a while ago."
have to!The prince's words can be said to have confirmed the fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were short of public funds.
Others were just fine, Jia Min's face turned blue and white, it was really ugly, and there was a hint of sadness in the eyes looking at Jia's mother, Jia's mother was also her own mother, and her biological mother made such a thing, she still What face.
Jia Mu only glanced at the account book, her face was ashen, and she said in a vicious voice, "What do you want?"
With the crown prince around, it is impossible to force Jia Amnesty to separate the family with the power of the elders, and the evidence Jia Amnesty brought out of the shortfall of public funds even trampled her face under her feet.
She didn't know what Jia Amnesty had left undisclosed, and she didn't want to know, now Jia's mother just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, so as not to procrastinate any longer.
If it dragged on any longer, Jia Amnesty might tear off even the last bit of her face.
Jia Amnesty said briskly, "Separate the family!"
Jia She said with a straight face: "According to the rules, apart from the titles that cannot be divided, mansions, meritorious service fields, and gifts from the imperial court... the eldest son will account for [-]%, and the other sons will account for the third son. Then divide the family according to this rule, and please be a witness."
As soon as Jia She said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, Jia She and Jia Zheng really had a lot of trouble.
Although the general division of the family is based on the rule of [-]% for the eldest son and [-]% for the other sons, it also depends on the situation. The bulk of Rongguo Mansion's property has been lost.
Generally speaking, if you take the majority, you might as well raise your hand, or just give Jia Zheng a little more money, so that Jia Zheng's life will be easier. After all, everyone knows that after the prince's debt collection, the Rongguo Mansion will also Really poor.
There is not much property left in the mansion, and Jia Zheng still owes money to the state treasury. If the crown prince takes it, he still does not know how much he can keep. Giving him a little more will not make Jia Zheng poor. Cone land.
The more Jia She followed the rules, the more everyone could see that the conflict between Jia She and Jia Zheng had really reached a point of no return.
Jia Min showed a slight sympathy, her palms were fleshy, and the backs of her hands were also fleshy. How could Jia She and Jia Zheng both be her own brothers. Although she was partial to Jia She, she didn't want to see Jia Zheng's life really difficult.
She couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade her, but Lin Ruhai gave her a hand and glanced at Mrs. Wang.
The implication of Lin Ruhai's words was to make her think about Mrs. Wang, maybe Jia Zheng was innocent, but who told him to marry Mrs. Wang, besides...
Lin Ruhai said softly: "You see, Wang's natal family didn't say a word."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang's family is Mrs. Wang's natal family, and she is the one who is most qualified to speak in the face of unfair family division, but she doesn't even say a word, obviously she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the division fair.
Jia Min hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking, Lin Ruhai said so rightly, Wang He didn't say anything, what was she talking about, besides, Mrs. Wang was going to poison Brother ラ, and their Lin family hasn't done it yet.
Ever since, Jia Min stopped talking and drank his tea with his head down.
It never occurred to Jia Zheng that there was no one in the huge Rongqing hall to help him speak, and even Jia Mu was wise enough to protect herself and stopped talking.
He was angry at the moment, sad and angry at the moment, and said angrily: "You...you all bully me, a fatherless and motherless person!"
As soon as Jia Zheng said these words, everyone couldn't help but feel cold. If these words came from Jia Baoyu's mouth, everyone might still be able to speak childishly, but now these words are said from the mouth of Jia Zheng, who is also a grandfather. Looking at Jia Zheng's full face, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Jia Zhen's mind has always been full of yellow waste, and her thoughts are always in the direction of color. Thinking of Jia's mother's eccentric habits in the past, he couldn't help touching his chin, wondering if Jia's mother just liked it. This tune?
On the other hand, Jia Mu's face turned white instantly, and she looked at Jia Zheng with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
The sentence of "no father and no mother" fell into the ears of others and said that Jia Zheng said it smoothly, but Jia's mother had a ghost in her heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility. She glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely. If she had known this, she should have directly At the risk of offending the Wang family, he solved Mrs. Wang without anyone noticing.
Jia Amnesty cracked his lips and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was bullying Jia Zheng, what!If you have the ability to bite him!
The matter has come to this point, even if Jia Zheng complains ten times more, it will not change the separation of the family. Seeing that the separation of the family is really going to be done according to the rules of the seven concubines and the three, Mrs. Wang anxiously pulled Wang He's clothes and said: "Two Sister-in-law, you have to help me."
Her dowry is gone, and the private house left at Baoyu's place is gone, and only [-]% of the family property is enough for them to live on.
Wang He's eyes were slightly cold, he coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Jia, it may be unfair to divide the family like this."
"Oh!" Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is Mrs. Wang's opinion?"
Wang He cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Sister She has done a lot of business over the years, and she has really lost a lot of money. It is not good for the Jia family to suffer this loss. Those losses... should also be attributed to the [-]% of the second house. .”
When Wang He said this, everyone couldn't help gasping. Wang He clearly wanted Erfang to compensate Rongguo Mansion for the land and shops lost by Wang's housekeeper over the years!
Of course, Wang He's words are also reasonable. If Mrs. Wang's shortfalls in Rongguo Mansion over the years are not counted, and [-]% of the property is given to the second house, wouldn't it be too cheap for the second house.
It's just that everyone also understands that no matter how much Erfang made from the Rongguo Mansion, after the crown prince's debt collection, all the money that was raised will also fall into the national treasury. It's the cleanest warehouse in Rongguo Mansion, so everyone didn't argue about it.
After all, Erfang only has [-]% of the family property, which is not much at all. Once this "loss" is calculated, what is left of Erfang, let alone asking Jia Zheng to pay back the money owed to the treasury, I am afraid that there will be no money to stand in the future. up.
Jia She took a deep look at Wang Heshi, and said happily: "What Mrs. Wang said is true, so let's do it according to this principle."
Mrs. Wang screamed, pointed at Wang He's nose and said angrily, "You... how dare you! I want my second brother to divorce you!"
It's just a hen that can't lay eggs. If it wasn't for her second brother's kindness, Wang He would have a good life now!Unexpectedly, Wang He didn't know how to respect the whole Wang family, and even humiliated the elder sister-in-law to death.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she cursed and uttered all kinds of unpleasant words. During the time she was in the family temple, it was impossible for her to reflect on herself. What she usually did most was to curse Jia Min and Jia Min over and over again. Mother, now used on Wang He's body.
It was appropriate, the viciousness of the words was beyond everyone's expectations, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would not have believed their ears.
Wang He raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed: "The hysteria of the eldest sister is getting worse."
She whispered a few words to Nanny He, and Nanny He understood, and directly led a few thick servants to suppress Mrs. Wang, and conveniently stuffed a rag into Mrs. Wang's mouth so that she would not say anything. Three or four words come out.
Wang He looked at it, the smile on his face never faded, and he said to Jia She hypocritically annoyed: "My eldest sister is seriously ill, please forgive me, Lord Jia."
Wang He's words are gentle, but coupled with Nanny He's quick, ruthless, and precise movements, and a well-trained servant girl who can be seen at a glance, and the Wang family doesn't even know when to prepare the hemp rope. Now, everyone will know that the problem between Mrs. Wang and Wang He's sister-in-law is probably not small.
Jia She coughed lightly, and said directly, "Madam Wang, please go easy."
Wang He nodded slightly, "Thank you Master Jia for your understanding."
As for the sauce, Wang He made a move, and immediately asked Mrs. Wang to rest.
Mrs. Wang He directly asked Mrs. Wang to be escorted back, so as not to embarrass her in the Rongqing Hall. No matter how the Wang family still has face, it is not good for Mrs. Wang to continue to be possessed by a mad woman in the Rongqing Hall From the beginning to the end, no one asked Jia Zheng what he meant.
However, Jia Zheng has been very tired of Mrs. Wang for a long time. Wang He took the initiative to accept Mrs. Wang's hysteria, so Jia Zheng would not refuse. As for Mrs. Jia...
Ever since she realized that Jia Zheng might know something, her heart has faded away; moreover, she has long secretly regretted the look between Wang He and Mrs. Wang, if she had known this, she would not have used it. Fei's thoughts brought Mrs. Wang out of the family temple.
The prince coughed lightly, "Lord Jia, let's separate as soon as possible."
For that matter, under Wang He's suggestion, Jia Amnesty divided the family again, and this time it was very fair to include all the lost land and shops in the calculation.
Of course, it is obvious that the shops that were swallowed up by Jia's mother, as well as the money that Jia Zheng took from them, were not counted. Counting it in, the prince really will return empty-handed this time.
Originally, according to the rules of seven concubines and three concubines, Jia Zheng would be able to share about 10 taels of property, plus a three-entry courtyard in the back street of Rongguo Mansion, but according to the new algorithm mentioned by Wang He, Jia In the end, Zheng only got a few thousand taels of silver, and some antique calligraphy and paintings that couldn't be bought at a high price.
Not only that, after the separation, Jia Amnesty immediately asked Jia Baoyu, Li Wan's mother and son to collect their luggage, and together with Jia Zheng and his wife, sent them to the Sanjin courtyard in the back street.
In the past, Jia's mother would never have let Jia Baoyu leave her house like this, but now she still remembers Jia Zheng's saying that she has no father and no mother, so she can take care of Baoyu.
As a result, all of the second room was sent away by Jia Amnesty, and everyone showed signs of uneasiness, not knowing what would happen next.
To make matters worse, the money in Jia Zheng's hands was taken away by the prince before it was warmed up.
The prince frowned dissatisfied, and wanted to say something else, but seeing Jia Zheng's face turned pale, he decided to leave it at that. He just glanced at Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu thoughtfully, and said lightly: " Master Jia, don’t forget to come to the household department tomorrow, let’s talk about how to pay back the remaining money.”
It is impossible to count on Jia Zheng to repay the money, so it is better to count on his son and grandson.
As soon as the crown prince said this, except for Baoyu, who was vaguely understanding, everyone's faces turned pale, especially Li Wan's mother and son, whose faces were as ugly as they could be. At a glance, it is obvious that there is a bit of despair.
In terms of status, Lang Geer is the eldest son and grandson, and he is duty-bound; in terms of emotion, no one knows that Mrs. Wang has always favored Jia Baoyu, so naturally she is reluctant to let Baoyu bear such a large debt.
Thinking of Lan Ge'er being sacrificed like this, Li Wan couldn't help sobbing and crying for a moment.
Mrs. Wang was also very anxious, and hurriedly pulled Jia Zheng's clothes and said, "Master! This is not going to work. We can't let our Baoyu bear this debt!"
12 taels of silver, even if Jia Zheng used all kinds of methods to rob him, he only paid back a small half.
