After the Gu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 90 Prince Teng Zhangjing
Don't look at the prince who is famous for asking for money, it is because he is desperate for money, and he has suffered a lot without knowing it, so the prince is more careful, like what happened to the fourth prince's natal family, he dare not say anything Again.
In fact, the prince also regrets what he did to the fourth concubine's natal family before. He wanted to make achievements in front of his father, and he wanted to kill chickens and police monkeys, so he was a little stricter on the Li family. I'm afraid that the Li family will become poor all of a sudden, so I don't care.
But he didn't expect that the Li family was not only poor, but also too poor. In the end, he died of illness!
Not only that, Li's father was getting old and suddenly suffered the pain of losing his son, and he couldn't hold on for a while, so he just left like this.
The loss of two people in the Li family was all thanks to the crown prince. The Li family was so annoyed that no one informed Li Shi. Even Tu Mingyu learned about it from Concubine Chen.
In just a few months, Li's family was ruined. Even someone like Tu Mingyu who didn't take Li's family seriously would feel uneasy about his conscience.
Not only has he spoiled Li Shi a little more in the past few days, but he has also restrained Concubine Chen from talking to Li Shi, and more importantly, his means of collecting debts have also shrunk slightly, and are no longer the same as before. No matter what you say, you have to ask for money. Finally, the officials of all sizes in Beijing can breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the crown prince's method was slightly slowed down, but it aroused the displeasure of Emperor Pingkang.
The battle in Northeast China was more expensive than Emperor Pingkang imagined. Although Wang Ziteng had good news from time to time, but until this battle is over, the money will have to be posted all the time. Most of the millions of taels of silver, as well as the money recovered by the prince later, were posted in, but there was still a shortage.
Seeing that the prince's actions were slow, and the money collected was useless, Emperor Pingkang was furious and scolded the prince severely, and the prince could only try his best to collect debts. In the end, he even went to Duke Qi's mansion Begging, it can be seen how miserable the prince has been persecuted these days.
Speaking of which, it's not that the crown prince is ignorant of Jia Zheng's desire to rob his daughter-in-law's dowry, even at the expense of his own grandson.
Not to mention that Jia Zheng's character has once again gone offline in the prince's mind. Hearing this for the first time, the prince was not indifferent. Now, even a few taels of silver would be good for him, but Jia It's really not easy to get this money.
It is the custom of collecting debts not to keep a woman's dowry. Even if Li Wan dies, her dowry should be inherited by her son Jia Lan. It cannot be regarded as the property of Jia's second wife. , he paid for that.
Therefore, even though he knew about it and was moved for a long time, he never took any action because the money was Li Wan's dowry.
Jia Amnesty personally went to the fourth prince's mansion to persuade and persuade, but seeing the prince refused, he had no choice but to ask Lang Geer to talk to the prince in person.
The prince met Jia Lan in person, and talked to Jia Lan again, and then the prince was sure that Jia Lan really wanted him to accept Li Wan's dowry and not leave any of it to Jia Zheng.
Although he understands the child's thoughts and sympathizes with the child's experience, but thinking about the child's future, the prince gently persuaded: "You are not only giving up your mother's dowry, but also severing ties with your grandfather. Although it was your grandfather's fault, but the so-called taboo of the elders, even if you enter an official career in the future, this incident may not be evidence of your flawed character, and this official career will be more difficult than ordinary people in the future."
He really felt sorry for the child, so he persuaded him specially. The so-called parents who are everything in the world are the same if they fall into the place of their grandparents. To others, they would only think Jia Lan was unfilial.
The Great Jin established the country with filial piety, and an unfilial son, even if he got the first prize in the exam, he might not have a chance to be promoted, and he might not even be an official, and his future would be ruined. With Jia Lan's ability, it is a pity.
The prince also moved a little bit of love for talents, so he began to persuade him.
After getting in touch with this child, he finally understood why Jia She favored this nephew everywhere, and even begged him. It is really rare to have such a sensible child among the queens, what a pity The boy was unlucky to have such a grandfather as Jia Zheng.
Jia Lan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Jia Lan lost his father since he was a child, and he was brought up by his mother to be what he is today. If Jia Lan endures it, he will be the most unfilial son in the world!"
What Jia Zheng did was not just to snatch his mother's dowry and smear her as a non-Jia family heir. The reason why his mother was dealt with by the Li clan according to the clan rules was in the final analysis thanks to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Not taking revenge is truly unfilial.
The prince sighed slightly, it was really difficult to compare his heart with his heart, and sighed: "But in this way, your official career may be affected, and if your mother is alive, I'm afraid you will not give up."
Jia Lan said bluntly: "To serve the country, the only way to get an official through the imperial examination is not the only way."
The prince was puzzled, and subconsciously looked at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She said with a sigh: "I'm going to send Brother Lang to the Northwest to be raised by my old friend. My old friend happens to be a military general. A military general is promoted, and he is not bound by those twisted rules."
Aside from that, Wang Ziteng is a good example. Although Wang Ziteng has no concubine and no room at home, he can be regarded as a good husband candidate in the hearts of many ladies in Beijing, but Wang Ziteng himself has a good reputation?
With a younger sister like Mrs. Wang, it's no wonder Wang Ziteng's reputation is so good!Not to mention that Wang Ziteng himself is not a good person. How did Wang Zisheng die? After Wang Zisheng died, where did his family property go? Yu Ziteng's identity, just keep silent.
Military generals are different from civilian officials. Civil servants have to care about their reputation. Once their reputation is not good, let alone go further, it is difficult to continue to stay in the officialdom, but military generals are different. Military generals rely on strength. As long as they have strength, they have power Well, the military officer's future is of course in exchange for his life, but once he has achieved results, it is not easy for others to suppress him.
Besides...
Jia She said: "Whether Lan Geer takes revenge or not, this reputation is doomed to end. In this case, it's better to have a good time!"
Jia Amnesty's words were so honest that people had nothing to say, but this sentence was only for pleasure, and the crown prince praised it.
What a joy!If facing a villain like Jia Zheng, he would shrink back even if he asked for it, then what's the point?
"Success!" The prince also gave a rare refreshment, "I will accept this matter."
He's just a clown. If he can't handle a clown, he doesn't deserve to be a prince.
So, with the help of the crown prince, although Jia Lan gave up her dead mother’s dowry, she also gave up three high-fives to Jia Zhengtang in front of the Yingtian government office, in front of the eyes of the people in the capital, and severed the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren with Jia Zheng. .
Mrs. Wang never expected that she would be used by the prince to pay off the debts before Li Wan's dowry was warmed up. Not only that, Jia Lan also took the opportunity to break ties with Jia Zheng.
Once Jia Lan broke up with Jia Zheng, he would not be regarded as Jia Zheng's descendants, and naturally he would not have to bear the [-]% of the debt. At that time, the [-]% of the debt might fall on Baoyu. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang is still willing , immediately started crying, and insisted on going to Lao Dengwen to accuse Jia Lan of being unfilial.
The prince said angrily: "The first three high-fives are for Gu Yun, but Mrs. Jia is going to sue Gu together?"
Mrs. Wang stopped crying immediately, she naturally knew that if it wasn't for the support of the prince, Jia Lan wouldn't have the confidence to break off the relationship with Jia Zheng, but if she had more courage, she wouldn't be able to tell the prince to meddle in his own business.
Mrs. Wang said embarrassingly: "I just sue my family for being unfilial to my descendants, so how dare you blame the prince."
The prince said in a deep voice: "This matter is a lonely one. Besides, you and your wife killed your daughter-in-law for money. Brother Lang is a filial child. It's not good to just reprimand your grandparents. It's just a severance of ties. How can there be such a thing as unfilial piety?"
The crown prince also felt sorry for the child Jia Lan. Seeing Mrs. Wang insisting on ruining the child, he couldn't help being partial.
Jia Zheng said quickly, "Li Wan is not upright, how can you blame my wife and I."
Even if it is true, this murder of a daughter-in-law for money is absolutely unacceptable.
Jia Amnesty said bluntly: "We all know whether it's true or not. Why, you want me to tell you how Mrs. Wang sent someone to Li's house to tell Li's family about the truth? How did you force me?" Is the Li family coming to clean up the door?"
Since the Li family committed the crime of murder and sent them all to prison, under the three trees, why didn't they ask for it? The Li family couldn't stand the torture at the moment, and they all said it in detail. After knowing that Mrs. Wang actually had a hand in it, then Perhaps someone like Ying Tian Fu Yin, who is used to the dark things in the world, couldn't help but gasp.
ruthless!It's really too ruthless!This clearly means not giving Li Wan's mother and son a way out.
If it weren't for knowing that in this world only fathers sue their sons, there is no reason for sons to sue their fathers, and there is no reason for grandchildren to sue their grandfathers, as far as Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng have done, a murderer who seeks money and kills will definitely not be able to escape.
Even so, Jia Amnesty also secretly lobbied the elders of the Li family to sue Mrs. Wang. As a cousin, it was difficult for him to do anything, and Jia Lan was a grandson, even if there was a grievance, he could only be bored in his heart.
However, once the elders of the Li family made a move in the name of Li Wan's family, it would be different. At the same time, it could make the Li family's reputation better, and maybe even give them a lighter sentence. After all, they were also victims.
Not to mention Jia She's secret arrangements, when they heard this, the eyes of everyone looking at Mrs. Wang suddenly changed. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, they have already robbed her of the dowry. Are you at a dead end?
Many families have silently moved away from Jia Zheng and his wife. Originally, the Rongguo Mansion had separated, but the so-called emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. Everyone was still somewhat interested in the second room of the Jia family, but after listening After this incident, everyone immediately turned away from Jia's second wife. A person who can drive his own daughter-in-law to a dead end can be so good.
Mrs. Wang felt a little embarrassed, she never thought that Jia She would know about this, even the crown prince was aware of this for the first time, and said in surprise: "Really?"
Jia Amnesty nodded and sighed, "It was also judged in the past two days, and Ying Tian Fu Yin has not had time to report it."
After all, it was too shocking, Ying Tian Fu Yin had to interrogate him thoroughly before he dared to report it.
The crown prince sighed: "No wonder Brother Lang insisted on breaking off relations with the second room of the Jia family and staying in the second room of the Jia family. How could he possibly die suddenly on that day."
With Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's money-greedy nature, this is definitely very possible.
Even the people who eat melons nodded silently. With such a grandmother, it is really difficult to grow up safely.
Jia Lan pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word, with deep hatred hidden in her eyes.
He thought that the old man of the Li family had heard some rumors, so he dealt with his mother, but it turned out that everything was arranged by Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang's eyes rolled wildly. Seeing that Jia Lan couldn't be kept, she had no choice but to retreat and said sharply: "The relationship can be broken, but the blood relationship can't be broken. Since Jia Lan is the son of the Jia family, he is also the head of the family. The grandson will have to bear half of Jia Cunzhou's debt after his death."
Although most of the money was chased back by the crown prince, she secretly kept some money from it to find Baoyu's whereabouts, and more importantly, she really got a little news about Baoyu. I started to count.
Baoyu has suffered enough, and the [-]% of the debt must never fall on his son again, so Jia Lan has to bear it, and she has to bear it, she is his own grandmother, let alone let him bear the debt, then Afraid of killing him, he had to give it back to her.
Facing Mrs. Wang's shameless behavior, everyone had to submit.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help complaining: "It was you who said you didn't want Lang Geer's grandson at the beginning, and now you are the one who wants someone to bear [-]% of the debt. Can you show some face when you are a man?"
Even if it was him, he would not be as shameless as Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang wanted to argue again, but she heard the crown prince yelling directly: "Enough!"
Tu Mingyu stared at Mrs. Wang, and said something inexplicably, "Very good! Very good!"
Although he said it very well, but Tu Mingyu's face really couldn't say a good word.
He was also really annoyed, since he grew up in the palace, he naturally knew that this woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
He has seen many women in his life, some are as powerful as his adoptive mother, some are as incompetent as Li, and more are as brainless as Chen, but as vicious as Mrs. Wang , must cause death, and she is also the poisonous woman of his own grandson, which is also the first time he has seen it.
He said in a deep voice: "Since the Second Mrs. Jia doesn't want a grandson, it's not enough to kill the grandson's mother. She also wants the grandson to bear [-]% of the debt. If she refuses, she will sue the grandson for being unfilial. This is the first time that Gu has done such a beautiful thing." hear."
Tu Mingyu sneered, "Didn't Mrs. Wang ask for Dengwengu? I'm also very curious about how the father will judge such a case!"
Although the Jin Dynasty established the country with filial piety, it did not establish the country with filial piety. If every elder was as vicious as Mrs. Wang and forced the descendants to pass the test, it would be too difficult for the children.
Even he wanted to know how his father would judge this case. If Mrs. Wang was judged to be fair, it would be really unfair, not only to the living, but also to the dead. Mrs. Wang is unreasonable, and the saying that the Great Jin ruled the world with filial piety has become a joke again.
More importantly, his father is also a person who likes to use filial piety to control them. He is really curious, will his father be selfish and favor Mrs. Wang?
In this way, Mrs. Wang was forced to go to Dengwengu by the prince's guards, but the prince still guessed wrong. Although Mrs. Wang went to Dengwengu, she never had a chance to file a complaint.
There is no other reason. Before the Lao Dengwen Drum, you need to beat [-] boards again, and you will not die before you can use the Dengwen Drum.
Before Mrs. Wang was sent here, someone had spread the word about Mrs. Wang's actions. Everyone knew that she deliberately slandered her daughter-in-law for having an affair with outsiders for the sake of her daughter-in-law's dowry, and even said her grandson was an illegitimate child. , and even wanted to kill the grass and roots, it has been known for a long time.
The yamen servants despised Mrs. Wang for being a human being. The [-] boards were naturally beaten firmly without any moisture. Only halfway through the beating, Mrs. Wang passed out from the pain, let alone sued Jia Lan.
How can I say that Mrs. Wang is also a family member of the official family, and the servants really beat her to death. They beat her [-] times indiscriminately, and then asked people to send Mrs. Wang back, not to mention how Mrs. Wang suffered after she went back. , and how she was complained by Jia Zheng, and what made Mrs. Wang even more depressed was that the news about Baoyu she had heard earlier turned out to be false, and Ni Er, who sold the news, got the money and disappeared. After losing the money, Mrs. Wang almost fainted out of breath, and never mentioned the matter of Luodeng Wengu again.
Although she hated Jia Lan, she was also afraid of pain, so she would accuse Jia Lan of being unfilial.
But this matter is not over yet. The fact that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang plotted against their children and grandchildren for money has become the biggest gossip in the capital as early as Jia Amnesty spread it intentionally. Emperor Pingkang in the palace also learned a thing or two.
Although he has always remembered his friendship with Jia Daishan, he took care of his children everywhere.
Even if he was as incompetent as Jia Zheng, he would turn a blind eye and leave him as a idler in the Ministry of Industry, knowing that he had borrowed a whole 12 taels from the state treasury, and did not withdraw the money It's not all for his father's sake that he got his job.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng's character has deteriorated to such an extent. For money, he plotted against his daughter-in-law, and even wanted Lao Dengwen to force his grandson to take over his [-]% of the debt. He is really shameless!
Emperor Pingkang's chest was depressed, and he couldn't get it out for a long time. Jia Daishan, the first hero, how could he have such a son?
But thinking about Mother Jia's temper again, Emperor Pingkang silently came to the conclusion that it must be Mother Jia's fault.
Emperor Pingkang said in a deep voice, "How is Brother Lan?"
It is really the child's misfortune to have such a grandfather.
Thinking about how this child met this kind of grandfather at such a young age, and also met his grandfather who murdered his mother. It was a dilemma whether to take revenge or not. It was really pitiful.
Xia Dequan couldn't help showing sympathy, and sighed: "Fortunately, Mr. Pardon is kind-hearted, so he sent Lang Geer to the northwest right now, and it can be regarded as a peace."
As an eunuch, what he looks forward to the most is to have a child, even if it is a relative's child, it is a pity that his family suffered a disaster back then, and the two brothers became eunuchs together.
Because of this, he usually pities children the most. Seeing Jia Lan being forced into such a situation by his own grandfather, he really can't bear it. Fortunately, although Jia Zheng doesn't admire him as a grandfather, Jia Amnesty is a good person. If he hadn't taken action , I'm afraid that the child's life will become more and more difficult.
Emperor Pingkang was taken aback, "It turned out to be Jia Amnesty's hand!?"
But I really didn't expect that Jia Amnesty would have such thoughts.
Xia Dequan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Actually, Mr. Jia's temper is a bit willful, but it's not that bad. It's just bad luck, he was misled by his brother and his own mother."
Xia Dequan briefly talked about the truth about the origin of the name of Jia She's poor boy. As the leader of the secret guard camp, he really wanted to investigate. Naturally, he could find more things than others, let alone the Rongguo Mansion. This cleanup actually cleared up a lot of Jiamu's staff, especially Lai's family. After careful investigation, naturally a lot of people were checked.
He has seen a lot of such eccentric parents, but one as eccentric as Jia's mother is really rare.
Jia's mother is not just talking about Jia She's faults outside, since Jia She was young, she has made a lot of fuss about Jia She, first deliberately let Jia Dairu teach the children badly, and then bribed the servants around Jia She, So that they can hook Jia Amnesty into the wrong place.
It has to be said that it is really a miracle that Jia She is still alive today with such a single-minded temperament.
After hearing this, Emperor Ping Kang couldn't help but said: "That's his own son, he must be an enemy!"
Xia Dequan's lips parted slightly, revealing a look of distress.
That's right, aren't they really mother and son?
Seeing Xia Dequan's expression, Emperor Pingkang was slightly surprised, "Isn't it true that we are not relatives?"
If it's really not relative, then it's no wonder, but with Jia Shi's status, it's not worth considering a concubine as the eldest son.
As if aware of Emperor Pingkang's doubts, Xia Dequan said in a low voice: "Not only Jia Amnesty, but even Jia Zheng is not the biological son of Old Madam Jia, but the child of her maidservant."
Emperor Pingkang said flatly, "No wonder."
No wonder Jia Shishi looked down on the eldest son on the one hand, but finally let the eldest son inherit the title, that's how it is.
He muttered to himself, "Jia Zheng is a man of corrupt character. If he deserves to be an official, he will be dismissed!"
He was not interested in the gossip in the Rongguo Mansion, but a guy like Jia Zheng who had no ability, no character, was not worthy of continuing to be an official in the Ministry of Industry.
Emperor Pingkang unceremoniously removed Jia Zheng from his post.
Xia Dequan answered yes with a smile, and hurriedly went to deliver the decree without mentioning it.
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Xia Dequan breathed out and wiped his sweat secretly, luckily!Fortunately, the Holy Majesty didn't ask who Jia She's mother was, otherwise...it would be really difficult for him to ask and answer.
When the imperial decree was passed to the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zheng almost fainted with shame and anger. These days, because they plot against their daughter-in-law and deny their grandchildren, there are quite a few people in the Ministry of Industry pointing and pointing behind him, but everyone I also know that although Jia Zheng is not a very good person, his official position was personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, which shows His Majesty's favor for the Rongguo Mansion.
Therefore, even though he disdained Jia Zheng's behavior, for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion, he would not make things difficult for him. In addition, Jia Zheng was a waste in the Ministry of Industry, unable to do anything, even the simplest He will always calculate the accounts wrongly, to put it bluntly, he is not even qualified to be a decoration, and there is nothing wrong with being upright, if you want to embarrass him, you can't embarrass him.
Because of this, although Jia Zheng's life was not easy, he barely endured it. On the contrary, he was more relaxed than usual. He thought that this matter would be over like this, but he never expected that the Holy Majesty would disregard his father's entrustment and withdraw He didn't mention his job, but also pointed out his despicable character.
Jia Zheng was so anxious that he almost fainted, he hurriedly argued: "Grandpa Xia, is there something wrong with this matter? How can I say that my late father is also a dignified Duke Rong!"
For the sake of his father, it is too much for the Holy Majesty not to promote him in these years, and now he is going to be dismissed... Could it be that the friendship between the Holy Majesty and his father for so many years is fake?
"How could it be wrong." Xia Dequan said with a half-smile: "Master Jia... No! Second Master Jia, if it wasn't for the sake of the former Rong Guogong, how could the Holy Majesty tolerate you for so many years. You After so many years of idle food in the Ministry of Industry, it should be enough."
When the Holy Majesty arranged Jia Zheng to the Ministry of Industry, he originally expected Jia Zheng to do some practical things. If he really wanted to raise someone to eat, he could have been assigned to the Ministry of Rites, so why bother to arrange him to the Ministry of Industry.
It's good to see this kid, he forcibly turned the Ministry of Industry into a retirement home. Over the years, the Holy Majesty has been complained by the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. up.
What Xia Dequan said was really blunt, and he called Jia Zheng an idler. Jia Zheng blushed in anger, and felt that his face was pulled to the ground by Xia Dequan and stepped on.
"You...you..." Jia Zheng pointed at Xia Dequan angrily, his fingers trembling. If he hadn't been weak and Xia Dequan's opponent, he might not have been able to resist rushing forward to meet Xia Dequan. Do the math.
Xia Dequan said again: "Master Jia Er asked for this too. Master Jia Er wanted to be an official in the court after taking away his daughter-in-law's dowry and abandoning his relatives and grandchildren?"
Such a character, how can he be worthy of being an official!
As soon as these words came out, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.
Xia Dequan was really blunt, and directly asked Jia Zheng to be sent back to Jia's mansion.
As for what happens next, he doesn't care.
Jia Zheng was dismissed, and he was dismissed on the grounds of bad character. The reason for this was naturally that Mrs. Wang persuaded him to divorce Li Wan in order to seize Li Wan's dowry. Don't blame my own temper, under anger, I rushed to find Mrs. Wang to settle the score again.
After all, Mrs. Wang was getting old, and she had received [-] slaps solidly. Even if those yamen servants hadn't laid hands on her, her old body couldn't bear the [-] slaps. Bloody and bloody, he is still lying on the bed recuperating.
Seeing Jia Zheng barging in, Mrs. Wang said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
After they moved to this back street, Jia Zheng hardly set foot in her house, and even when he came, it was mostly to ask for money.
As soon as Jia Zheng came to her room suddenly, Mrs. Wang knew that there was nothing good about it. Nine times out of ten it was just to ask for money. As soon as Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, she guessed Jia Zheng's intention. No money."
In fact, it is also the case. In order to find Baoyu, she can be said to have spent the last of her pension money. Not only that, she also spent almost all of the money from the sale of servants and the money obtained from occupying Li Wan's dowry. Look for the child above it.
The money she brought was given to Jia Zheng, even if there was, it was impossible to give it to him.
To her surprise, Jia Zheng didn't ask her for money this time.Instead, ask her to settle accounts.
"You poisonous woman!" Jia Zheng yelled: "If it weren't for you, poisonous woman, how could I have done such a stupid thing as taking away my daughter-in-law's property! It's all because of you, which caused my husband to lose his job at the end of the day and was dismissed by the Holy Spirit." !"
Mrs. Wang was stunned, "You were dismissed? You... why are you so useless! It's just that you can't do well as a sixth-rank official, what are you doing!"
"It's not all your fault!" Jia Zheng was furious, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be able to keep my official position."
Mrs. Wang sneered, "I did it? Jia Cunzhou! Jia Cunzhou! Do you really think you have any skills? Is there an official in the Ministry of Industry who has been sitting for more than ten years like you? If you really have some skills, then It will make people say withdraw and withdraw.”
Jia Zheng's face was blue and white, and finally he became angry from embarrassment, and he simply raised his hands.
He didn't fight with Mrs. Wang again, but directly grabbed Mrs. Wang's things.
Don't look at Mrs. Wang saying that she has no money in her hand, but Jia Zheng is such a person that he will not understand Mrs. Wang's temperament. It's pinned on looking for Baoyu.
Besides, Mrs. Wang was seriously injured this time, no matter whether it is to extend the doctor or take medicine, she needs money. If there is no money, where does the medicine she drinks every day come from?
Ever since, Jia Zheng searched directly without politeness.
Sure enough, hundreds of taels of silver bills were found in Mrs. Wang's makeup box.
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and she didn't care about the injury on her hip, she said anxiously: "This is my last bit of money, don't move."
Jia Zheng unceremoniously pushed Mrs. Wang hard, "You are my Jia family's wife, and the money on your body belongs to the Jia family. Why can't I use it?"
Jia Zheng pushed with great force, and Mrs. Wang fell to the ground directly by Jia Zheng's push. She was seriously injured, but under this push, the wound hit the ground, and the newly healed wound burst again. Mrs. Wang was in pain and couldn't move for a moment.
Taking advantage of Mrs. Wang's illness, Jia Zheng was really rude, and searched Mrs. Wang's room, not only robbed the money, but also robbed the only valuable jewelry in Mrs. Wang's makeup box.
The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to stop them but dared not, so they could only watch Jia Zheng walk away with the looted things.
"Ma'am." The old nanny couldn't help asking, "What... what should I do?"
The master's robbing really took away all the property of the wife.
"Are you a dead person?" Mrs. Wang said angrily, "You just watch Jia Zheng robbing things, and you don't want to stop him."
Mrs. Wang cried angrily, what's the use of raising these wastes, she can't even protect the master, far inferior to the loyalty of Zhou Rui's family.
The old mama smiled helplessly, that was the master, and if she had ten more guts, she wouldn't dare to fight the master.
Mrs. Wang was in severe pain, and said angrily, "Hurry up and call the doctor over."
"Yes!" The old nanny replied, but after a pause, she continued, "Ma'am, we don't have any money."
Even the last bit of money was robbed by the master, and the money they brought was used to hire a doctor.
Mrs. Wang shouted: "I still don't go to my mother's house──"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang got stuck first.
When she was injured before, it wasn't that she didn't look for her second sister-in-law and begged her second sister-in-law to help her, but her second sister-in-law ignored her. Not only that, she knew she was injured, but she didn't even Condolences, not even a little medicine was given away.
If they didn't know, and saw that there was no contact between the two families, they might not believe that they were relatives.
The second sister-in-law's behavior is much more ruthless than breaking up a relationship. She asks people to come to borrow money, and the second sister-in-law will never borrow money if she thinks about it.
Mrs. Wang secretly had a headache. If she hadn't heard that Wang Ziteng was about to return to Beijing, she would really not know what to do when she met her natal family who ignored her as if they treated her like a dead person.
She pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Go! Go borrow some money from Second Mistress Lian in Rongguo Mansion. After all, I am her own aunt, so she can't ignore it."
Wang Xifeng wants to save face the most. I don't believe she can watch her own aunt die of illness!
As for Jia She...
She could see that Jia She was more generous than Jia Zheng in this regard, and she would not make things difficult for her, Xifeng, because of this matter.
"Yes." The old mother hurriedly agreed, and went to Rongguo Mansion to borrow money from Lian's second grandmother.
Just as Mrs. Wang guessed, the Rongguo Mansion at this time did not see future generations sit and eat, nor did Wang Xifeng use her own dowry to subsidize the entire Rongguo Mansion. In addition, Wang Xifeng's dowry was rich and always generous. After hearing the tragedy of Mrs. Wang Although I disdain Mrs. Wang's character, but for the sake of my aunt and nephew, I immediately gave Mrs. Wang five taels of silver to extend her medical treatment.
Although the five liang of silver is not much, it is enough for Mrs. Wang to see a doctor once, and then take a few doses of medicine.
The old mother froze for a moment, "Five...five taels of silver!?"
What is the use of these five taels of silver?In the past, it might have been nothing more than a few rewards. My wife is the second grandma's aunt anyway, and the second grandma sent someone with five taels of silver, which is really too much.
The old mother couldn't help but said: "Second Grandma, the five taels of silver is really a little short. How can I put it, the wife is always the second grandma's real aunt."
Wang Xifeng brushed her hair and said with a smile: "You think it's too little? This five taels of silver is my monthly salary."
She paused and said, "If Mammy thinks there are too few, I can't help it, or... Mama can borrow it from other places?"
Hearing this, the old mother stopped talking immediately. If Mrs. Wang had other things to cherish, she would not look for Second Mistress Lian.
In desperation, the old mama had no choice but to take the five liang of silver back, but Ping'er really didn't understand, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did grandma only borrow five liang of silver?"
She thought that with grandma's temperament, she should have borrowed tens of taels of silver at least, so why did she borrow only five taels of silver?
"Where is this five taels of silver?" Wang Xifeng leaned on the Arhat couch and said with a smile, "My monthly salary is only five taels of silver."
Ping'er said angrily: "Grandma...Grandma just tell Ping'er."
Five taels of silver is really not too little if it is placed in an ordinary family, and the monthly money of grandma is indeed only five taels of silver, but in private, who would really live on the monthly money.
Grandma has a dowry and a private house, and she is very loose. The five taels of silver are just for ordinary rewards, not to mention anything else. Generally, servants come to grandma for business, at least 20 taels of silver.
No matter how bad Mrs. Wang is, she is also my grandma's aunt, so I only give five taels of silver, isn't it too little?
To put it bluntly, as a grandma, this is like dismissing a beggar.
Wang Xifeng didn't make things difficult for Ping'er, and said it directly.
Her eyes dimmed, "No matter what, sister-in-law Zhu is a well-behaved person. It's too much to just disappear like this."
As the daughter-in-law of the same grandson, it is absolutely impossible to say that she has no desire to compare with Li Wan in private.
In terms of status, the two are equal, one is a daughter of a civil official's family, and the other is a daughter of a military general's family. In terms of status, neither is worse than the other.
In terms of husband, ten Jialians are definitely not as good as one Jiazhu. The only elder is that Jialian is still alive and Jiazhu is gone.
In terms of children, status in the eyes of the old lady, and monthly money, it is naturally impossible to say that Wang Xifeng is not jealous of Li Wan at all.
She usually used to talk about the fact that Li Wan received 20 taels of silver a month, but refused to give any rewards, but no matter what, Li Wan died too badly.
As soon as Li Wan's death was mentioned, Ping'er also agreed: "The second wife is too cruel."
Is it worth it to kill Grandma Zhu and even give up my own grandson for mere money?No wonder grandma refuses to borrow more money.
but……
Ping'er worried: "The second wife is grandma's aunt after all, so I'm afraid that someone will talk about it."
Grandma usually manages the family very strictly, and there are many gossips in the house about it. Now that grandma only borrowed five liang of silver from her own aunt, it is unlikely that others will talk about it.
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "What am I afraid of!"
What she is most afraid of in her life is gossip, and even if she borrows it, will others say less?Since she couldn't, why would she have to suffer for it.
Wang Xifeng sighed slightly, "Besides
In fact, the prince also regrets what he did to the fourth concubine's natal family before. He wanted to make achievements in front of his father, and he wanted to kill chickens and police monkeys, so he was a little stricter on the Li family. I'm afraid that the Li family will become poor all of a sudden, so I don't care.
But he didn't expect that the Li family was not only poor, but also too poor. In the end, he died of illness!
Not only that, Li's father was getting old and suddenly suffered the pain of losing his son, and he couldn't hold on for a while, so he just left like this.
The loss of two people in the Li family was all thanks to the crown prince. The Li family was so annoyed that no one informed Li Shi. Even Tu Mingyu learned about it from Concubine Chen.
In just a few months, Li's family was ruined. Even someone like Tu Mingyu who didn't take Li's family seriously would feel uneasy about his conscience.
Not only has he spoiled Li Shi a little more in the past few days, but he has also restrained Concubine Chen from talking to Li Shi, and more importantly, his means of collecting debts have also shrunk slightly, and are no longer the same as before. No matter what you say, you have to ask for money. Finally, the officials of all sizes in Beijing can breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the crown prince's method was slightly slowed down, but it aroused the displeasure of Emperor Pingkang.
The battle in Northeast China was more expensive than Emperor Pingkang imagined. Although Wang Ziteng had good news from time to time, but until this battle is over, the money will have to be posted all the time. Most of the millions of taels of silver, as well as the money recovered by the prince later, were posted in, but there was still a shortage.
Seeing that the prince's actions were slow, and the money collected was useless, Emperor Pingkang was furious and scolded the prince severely, and the prince could only try his best to collect debts. In the end, he even went to Duke Qi's mansion Begging, it can be seen how miserable the prince has been persecuted these days.
Speaking of which, it's not that the crown prince is ignorant of Jia Zheng's desire to rob his daughter-in-law's dowry, even at the expense of his own grandson.
Not to mention that Jia Zheng's character has once again gone offline in the prince's mind. Hearing this for the first time, the prince was not indifferent. Now, even a few taels of silver would be good for him, but Jia It's really not easy to get this money.
It is the custom of collecting debts not to keep a woman's dowry. Even if Li Wan dies, her dowry should be inherited by her son Jia Lan. It cannot be regarded as the property of Jia's second wife. , he paid for that.
Therefore, even though he knew about it and was moved for a long time, he never took any action because the money was Li Wan's dowry.
Jia Amnesty personally went to the fourth prince's mansion to persuade and persuade, but seeing the prince refused, he had no choice but to ask Lang Geer to talk to the prince in person.
The prince met Jia Lan in person, and talked to Jia Lan again, and then the prince was sure that Jia Lan really wanted him to accept Li Wan's dowry and not leave any of it to Jia Zheng.
Although he understands the child's thoughts and sympathizes with the child's experience, but thinking about the child's future, the prince gently persuaded: "You are not only giving up your mother's dowry, but also severing ties with your grandfather. Although it was your grandfather's fault, but the so-called taboo of the elders, even if you enter an official career in the future, this incident may not be evidence of your flawed character, and this official career will be more difficult than ordinary people in the future."
He really felt sorry for the child, so he persuaded him specially. The so-called parents who are everything in the world are the same if they fall into the place of their grandparents. To others, they would only think Jia Lan was unfilial.
The Great Jin established the country with filial piety, and an unfilial son, even if he got the first prize in the exam, he might not have a chance to be promoted, and he might not even be an official, and his future would be ruined. With Jia Lan's ability, it is a pity.
The prince also moved a little bit of love for talents, so he began to persuade him.
After getting in touch with this child, he finally understood why Jia She favored this nephew everywhere, and even begged him. It is really rare to have such a sensible child among the queens, what a pity The boy was unlucky to have such a grandfather as Jia Zheng.
Jia Lan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Jia Lan lost his father since he was a child, and he was brought up by his mother to be what he is today. If Jia Lan endures it, he will be the most unfilial son in the world!"
What Jia Zheng did was not just to snatch his mother's dowry and smear her as a non-Jia family heir. The reason why his mother was dealt with by the Li clan according to the clan rules was in the final analysis thanks to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Not taking revenge is truly unfilial.
The prince sighed slightly, it was really difficult to compare his heart with his heart, and sighed: "But in this way, your official career may be affected, and if your mother is alive, I'm afraid you will not give up."
Jia Lan said bluntly: "To serve the country, the only way to get an official through the imperial examination is not the only way."
The prince was puzzled, and subconsciously looked at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She said with a sigh: "I'm going to send Brother Lang to the Northwest to be raised by my old friend. My old friend happens to be a military general. A military general is promoted, and he is not bound by those twisted rules."
Aside from that, Wang Ziteng is a good example. Although Wang Ziteng has no concubine and no room at home, he can be regarded as a good husband candidate in the hearts of many ladies in Beijing, but Wang Ziteng himself has a good reputation?
With a younger sister like Mrs. Wang, it's no wonder Wang Ziteng's reputation is so good!Not to mention that Wang Ziteng himself is not a good person. How did Wang Zisheng die? After Wang Zisheng died, where did his family property go? Yu Ziteng's identity, just keep silent.
Military generals are different from civilian officials. Civil servants have to care about their reputation. Once their reputation is not good, let alone go further, it is difficult to continue to stay in the officialdom, but military generals are different. Military generals rely on strength. As long as they have strength, they have power Well, the military officer's future is of course in exchange for his life, but once he has achieved results, it is not easy for others to suppress him.
Besides...
Jia She said: "Whether Lan Geer takes revenge or not, this reputation is doomed to end. In this case, it's better to have a good time!"
Jia Amnesty's words were so honest that people had nothing to say, but this sentence was only for pleasure, and the crown prince praised it.
What a joy!If facing a villain like Jia Zheng, he would shrink back even if he asked for it, then what's the point?
"Success!" The prince also gave a rare refreshment, "I will accept this matter."
He's just a clown. If he can't handle a clown, he doesn't deserve to be a prince.
So, with the help of the crown prince, although Jia Lan gave up her dead mother’s dowry, she also gave up three high-fives to Jia Zhengtang in front of the Yingtian government office, in front of the eyes of the people in the capital, and severed the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren with Jia Zheng. .
Mrs. Wang never expected that she would be used by the prince to pay off the debts before Li Wan's dowry was warmed up. Not only that, Jia Lan also took the opportunity to break ties with Jia Zheng.
Once Jia Lan broke up with Jia Zheng, he would not be regarded as Jia Zheng's descendants, and naturally he would not have to bear the [-]% of the debt. At that time, the [-]% of the debt might fall on Baoyu. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang is still willing , immediately started crying, and insisted on going to Lao Dengwen to accuse Jia Lan of being unfilial.
The prince said angrily: "The first three high-fives are for Gu Yun, but Mrs. Jia is going to sue Gu together?"
Mrs. Wang stopped crying immediately, she naturally knew that if it wasn't for the support of the prince, Jia Lan wouldn't have the confidence to break off the relationship with Jia Zheng, but if she had more courage, she wouldn't be able to tell the prince to meddle in his own business.
Mrs. Wang said embarrassingly: "I just sue my family for being unfilial to my descendants, so how dare you blame the prince."
The prince said in a deep voice: "This matter is a lonely one. Besides, you and your wife killed your daughter-in-law for money. Brother Lang is a filial child. It's not good to just reprimand your grandparents. It's just a severance of ties. How can there be such a thing as unfilial piety?"
The crown prince also felt sorry for the child Jia Lan. Seeing Mrs. Wang insisting on ruining the child, he couldn't help being partial.
Jia Zheng said quickly, "Li Wan is not upright, how can you blame my wife and I."
Even if it is true, this murder of a daughter-in-law for money is absolutely unacceptable.
Jia Amnesty said bluntly: "We all know whether it's true or not. Why, you want me to tell you how Mrs. Wang sent someone to Li's house to tell Li's family about the truth? How did you force me?" Is the Li family coming to clean up the door?"
Since the Li family committed the crime of murder and sent them all to prison, under the three trees, why didn't they ask for it? The Li family couldn't stand the torture at the moment, and they all said it in detail. After knowing that Mrs. Wang actually had a hand in it, then Perhaps someone like Ying Tian Fu Yin, who is used to the dark things in the world, couldn't help but gasp.
ruthless!It's really too ruthless!This clearly means not giving Li Wan's mother and son a way out.
If it weren't for knowing that in this world only fathers sue their sons, there is no reason for sons to sue their fathers, and there is no reason for grandchildren to sue their grandfathers, as far as Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng have done, a murderer who seeks money and kills will definitely not be able to escape.
Even so, Jia Amnesty also secretly lobbied the elders of the Li family to sue Mrs. Wang. As a cousin, it was difficult for him to do anything, and Jia Lan was a grandson, even if there was a grievance, he could only be bored in his heart.
However, once the elders of the Li family made a move in the name of Li Wan's family, it would be different. At the same time, it could make the Li family's reputation better, and maybe even give them a lighter sentence. After all, they were also victims.
Not to mention Jia She's secret arrangements, when they heard this, the eyes of everyone looking at Mrs. Wang suddenly changed. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, they have already robbed her of the dowry. Are you at a dead end?
Many families have silently moved away from Jia Zheng and his wife. Originally, the Rongguo Mansion had separated, but the so-called emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. Everyone was still somewhat interested in the second room of the Jia family, but after listening After this incident, everyone immediately turned away from Jia's second wife. A person who can drive his own daughter-in-law to a dead end can be so good.
Mrs. Wang felt a little embarrassed, she never thought that Jia She would know about this, even the crown prince was aware of this for the first time, and said in surprise: "Really?"
Jia Amnesty nodded and sighed, "It was also judged in the past two days, and Ying Tian Fu Yin has not had time to report it."
After all, it was too shocking, Ying Tian Fu Yin had to interrogate him thoroughly before he dared to report it.
The crown prince sighed: "No wonder Brother Lang insisted on breaking off relations with the second room of the Jia family and staying in the second room of the Jia family. How could he possibly die suddenly on that day."
With Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's money-greedy nature, this is definitely very possible.
Even the people who eat melons nodded silently. With such a grandmother, it is really difficult to grow up safely.
Jia Lan pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word, with deep hatred hidden in her eyes.
He thought that the old man of the Li family had heard some rumors, so he dealt with his mother, but it turned out that everything was arranged by Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang's eyes rolled wildly. Seeing that Jia Lan couldn't be kept, she had no choice but to retreat and said sharply: "The relationship can be broken, but the blood relationship can't be broken. Since Jia Lan is the son of the Jia family, he is also the head of the family. The grandson will have to bear half of Jia Cunzhou's debt after his death."
Although most of the money was chased back by the crown prince, she secretly kept some money from it to find Baoyu's whereabouts, and more importantly, she really got a little news about Baoyu. I started to count.
Baoyu has suffered enough, and the [-]% of the debt must never fall on his son again, so Jia Lan has to bear it, and she has to bear it, she is his own grandmother, let alone let him bear the debt, then Afraid of killing him, he had to give it back to her.
Facing Mrs. Wang's shameless behavior, everyone had to submit.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help complaining: "It was you who said you didn't want Lang Geer's grandson at the beginning, and now you are the one who wants someone to bear [-]% of the debt. Can you show some face when you are a man?"
Even if it was him, he would not be as shameless as Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang wanted to argue again, but she heard the crown prince yelling directly: "Enough!"
Tu Mingyu stared at Mrs. Wang, and said something inexplicably, "Very good! Very good!"
Although he said it very well, but Tu Mingyu's face really couldn't say a good word.
He was also really annoyed, since he grew up in the palace, he naturally knew that this woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
He has seen many women in his life, some are as powerful as his adoptive mother, some are as incompetent as Li, and more are as brainless as Chen, but as vicious as Mrs. Wang , must cause death, and she is also the poisonous woman of his own grandson, which is also the first time he has seen it.
He said in a deep voice: "Since the Second Mrs. Jia doesn't want a grandson, it's not enough to kill the grandson's mother. She also wants the grandson to bear [-]% of the debt. If she refuses, she will sue the grandson for being unfilial. This is the first time that Gu has done such a beautiful thing." hear."
Tu Mingyu sneered, "Didn't Mrs. Wang ask for Dengwengu? I'm also very curious about how the father will judge such a case!"
Although the Jin Dynasty established the country with filial piety, it did not establish the country with filial piety. If every elder was as vicious as Mrs. Wang and forced the descendants to pass the test, it would be too difficult for the children.
Even he wanted to know how his father would judge this case. If Mrs. Wang was judged to be fair, it would be really unfair, not only to the living, but also to the dead. Mrs. Wang is unreasonable, and the saying that the Great Jin ruled the world with filial piety has become a joke again.
More importantly, his father is also a person who likes to use filial piety to control them. He is really curious, will his father be selfish and favor Mrs. Wang?
In this way, Mrs. Wang was forced to go to Dengwengu by the prince's guards, but the prince still guessed wrong. Although Mrs. Wang went to Dengwengu, she never had a chance to file a complaint.
There is no other reason. Before the Lao Dengwen Drum, you need to beat [-] boards again, and you will not die before you can use the Dengwen Drum.
Before Mrs. Wang was sent here, someone had spread the word about Mrs. Wang's actions. Everyone knew that she deliberately slandered her daughter-in-law for having an affair with outsiders for the sake of her daughter-in-law's dowry, and even said her grandson was an illegitimate child. , and even wanted to kill the grass and roots, it has been known for a long time.
The yamen servants despised Mrs. Wang for being a human being. The [-] boards were naturally beaten firmly without any moisture. Only halfway through the beating, Mrs. Wang passed out from the pain, let alone sued Jia Lan.
How can I say that Mrs. Wang is also a family member of the official family, and the servants really beat her to death. They beat her [-] times indiscriminately, and then asked people to send Mrs. Wang back, not to mention how Mrs. Wang suffered after she went back. , and how she was complained by Jia Zheng, and what made Mrs. Wang even more depressed was that the news about Baoyu she had heard earlier turned out to be false, and Ni Er, who sold the news, got the money and disappeared. After losing the money, Mrs. Wang almost fainted out of breath, and never mentioned the matter of Luodeng Wengu again.
Although she hated Jia Lan, she was also afraid of pain, so she would accuse Jia Lan of being unfilial.
But this matter is not over yet. The fact that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang plotted against their children and grandchildren for money has become the biggest gossip in the capital as early as Jia Amnesty spread it intentionally. Emperor Pingkang in the palace also learned a thing or two.
Although he has always remembered his friendship with Jia Daishan, he took care of his children everywhere.
Even if he was as incompetent as Jia Zheng, he would turn a blind eye and leave him as a idler in the Ministry of Industry, knowing that he had borrowed a whole 12 taels from the state treasury, and did not withdraw the money It's not all for his father's sake that he got his job.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng's character has deteriorated to such an extent. For money, he plotted against his daughter-in-law, and even wanted Lao Dengwen to force his grandson to take over his [-]% of the debt. He is really shameless!
Emperor Pingkang's chest was depressed, and he couldn't get it out for a long time. Jia Daishan, the first hero, how could he have such a son?
But thinking about Mother Jia's temper again, Emperor Pingkang silently came to the conclusion that it must be Mother Jia's fault.
Emperor Pingkang said in a deep voice, "How is Brother Lan?"
It is really the child's misfortune to have such a grandfather.
Thinking about how this child met this kind of grandfather at such a young age, and also met his grandfather who murdered his mother. It was a dilemma whether to take revenge or not. It was really pitiful.
Xia Dequan couldn't help showing sympathy, and sighed: "Fortunately, Mr. Pardon is kind-hearted, so he sent Lang Geer to the northwest right now, and it can be regarded as a peace."
As an eunuch, what he looks forward to the most is to have a child, even if it is a relative's child, it is a pity that his family suffered a disaster back then, and the two brothers became eunuchs together.
Because of this, he usually pities children the most. Seeing Jia Lan being forced into such a situation by his own grandfather, he really can't bear it. Fortunately, although Jia Zheng doesn't admire him as a grandfather, Jia Amnesty is a good person. If he hadn't taken action , I'm afraid that the child's life will become more and more difficult.
Emperor Pingkang was taken aback, "It turned out to be Jia Amnesty's hand!?"
But I really didn't expect that Jia Amnesty would have such thoughts.
Xia Dequan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Actually, Mr. Jia's temper is a bit willful, but it's not that bad. It's just bad luck, he was misled by his brother and his own mother."
Xia Dequan briefly talked about the truth about the origin of the name of Jia She's poor boy. As the leader of the secret guard camp, he really wanted to investigate. Naturally, he could find more things than others, let alone the Rongguo Mansion. This cleanup actually cleared up a lot of Jiamu's staff, especially Lai's family. After careful investigation, naturally a lot of people were checked.
He has seen a lot of such eccentric parents, but one as eccentric as Jia's mother is really rare.
Jia's mother is not just talking about Jia She's faults outside, since Jia She was young, she has made a lot of fuss about Jia She, first deliberately let Jia Dairu teach the children badly, and then bribed the servants around Jia She, So that they can hook Jia Amnesty into the wrong place.
It has to be said that it is really a miracle that Jia She is still alive today with such a single-minded temperament.
After hearing this, Emperor Ping Kang couldn't help but said: "That's his own son, he must be an enemy!"
Xia Dequan's lips parted slightly, revealing a look of distress.
That's right, aren't they really mother and son?
Seeing Xia Dequan's expression, Emperor Pingkang was slightly surprised, "Isn't it true that we are not relatives?"
If it's really not relative, then it's no wonder, but with Jia Shi's status, it's not worth considering a concubine as the eldest son.
As if aware of Emperor Pingkang's doubts, Xia Dequan said in a low voice: "Not only Jia Amnesty, but even Jia Zheng is not the biological son of Old Madam Jia, but the child of her maidservant."
Emperor Pingkang said flatly, "No wonder."
No wonder Jia Shishi looked down on the eldest son on the one hand, but finally let the eldest son inherit the title, that's how it is.
He muttered to himself, "Jia Zheng is a man of corrupt character. If he deserves to be an official, he will be dismissed!"
He was not interested in the gossip in the Rongguo Mansion, but a guy like Jia Zheng who had no ability, no character, was not worthy of continuing to be an official in the Ministry of Industry.
Emperor Pingkang unceremoniously removed Jia Zheng from his post.
Xia Dequan answered yes with a smile, and hurriedly went to deliver the decree without mentioning it.
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Xia Dequan breathed out and wiped his sweat secretly, luckily!Fortunately, the Holy Majesty didn't ask who Jia She's mother was, otherwise...it would be really difficult for him to ask and answer.
When the imperial decree was passed to the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zheng almost fainted with shame and anger. These days, because they plot against their daughter-in-law and deny their grandchildren, there are quite a few people in the Ministry of Industry pointing and pointing behind him, but everyone I also know that although Jia Zheng is not a very good person, his official position was personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, which shows His Majesty's favor for the Rongguo Mansion.
Therefore, even though he disdained Jia Zheng's behavior, for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion, he would not make things difficult for him. In addition, Jia Zheng was a waste in the Ministry of Industry, unable to do anything, even the simplest He will always calculate the accounts wrongly, to put it bluntly, he is not even qualified to be a decoration, and there is nothing wrong with being upright, if you want to embarrass him, you can't embarrass him.
Because of this, although Jia Zheng's life was not easy, he barely endured it. On the contrary, he was more relaxed than usual. He thought that this matter would be over like this, but he never expected that the Holy Majesty would disregard his father's entrustment and withdraw He didn't mention his job, but also pointed out his despicable character.
Jia Zheng was so anxious that he almost fainted, he hurriedly argued: "Grandpa Xia, is there something wrong with this matter? How can I say that my late father is also a dignified Duke Rong!"
For the sake of his father, it is too much for the Holy Majesty not to promote him in these years, and now he is going to be dismissed... Could it be that the friendship between the Holy Majesty and his father for so many years is fake?
"How could it be wrong." Xia Dequan said with a half-smile: "Master Jia... No! Second Master Jia, if it wasn't for the sake of the former Rong Guogong, how could the Holy Majesty tolerate you for so many years. You After so many years of idle food in the Ministry of Industry, it should be enough."
When the Holy Majesty arranged Jia Zheng to the Ministry of Industry, he originally expected Jia Zheng to do some practical things. If he really wanted to raise someone to eat, he could have been assigned to the Ministry of Rites, so why bother to arrange him to the Ministry of Industry.
It's good to see this kid, he forcibly turned the Ministry of Industry into a retirement home. Over the years, the Holy Majesty has been complained by the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. up.
What Xia Dequan said was really blunt, and he called Jia Zheng an idler. Jia Zheng blushed in anger, and felt that his face was pulled to the ground by Xia Dequan and stepped on.
"You...you..." Jia Zheng pointed at Xia Dequan angrily, his fingers trembling. If he hadn't been weak and Xia Dequan's opponent, he might not have been able to resist rushing forward to meet Xia Dequan. Do the math.
Xia Dequan said again: "Master Jia Er asked for this too. Master Jia Er wanted to be an official in the court after taking away his daughter-in-law's dowry and abandoning his relatives and grandchildren?"
Such a character, how can he be worthy of being an official!
As soon as these words came out, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.
Xia Dequan was really blunt, and directly asked Jia Zheng to be sent back to Jia's mansion.
As for what happens next, he doesn't care.
Jia Zheng was dismissed, and he was dismissed on the grounds of bad character. The reason for this was naturally that Mrs. Wang persuaded him to divorce Li Wan in order to seize Li Wan's dowry. Don't blame my own temper, under anger, I rushed to find Mrs. Wang to settle the score again.
After all, Mrs. Wang was getting old, and she had received [-] slaps solidly. Even if those yamen servants hadn't laid hands on her, her old body couldn't bear the [-] slaps. Bloody and bloody, he is still lying on the bed recuperating.
Seeing Jia Zheng barging in, Mrs. Wang said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
After they moved to this back street, Jia Zheng hardly set foot in her house, and even when he came, it was mostly to ask for money.
As soon as Jia Zheng came to her room suddenly, Mrs. Wang knew that there was nothing good about it. Nine times out of ten it was just to ask for money. As soon as Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, she guessed Jia Zheng's intention. No money."
In fact, it is also the case. In order to find Baoyu, she can be said to have spent the last of her pension money. Not only that, she also spent almost all of the money from the sale of servants and the money obtained from occupying Li Wan's dowry. Look for the child above it.
The money she brought was given to Jia Zheng, even if there was, it was impossible to give it to him.
To her surprise, Jia Zheng didn't ask her for money this time.Instead, ask her to settle accounts.
"You poisonous woman!" Jia Zheng yelled: "If it weren't for you, poisonous woman, how could I have done such a stupid thing as taking away my daughter-in-law's property! It's all because of you, which caused my husband to lose his job at the end of the day and was dismissed by the Holy Spirit." !"
Mrs. Wang was stunned, "You were dismissed? You... why are you so useless! It's just that you can't do well as a sixth-rank official, what are you doing!"
"It's not all your fault!" Jia Zheng was furious, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be able to keep my official position."
Mrs. Wang sneered, "I did it? Jia Cunzhou! Jia Cunzhou! Do you really think you have any skills? Is there an official in the Ministry of Industry who has been sitting for more than ten years like you? If you really have some skills, then It will make people say withdraw and withdraw.”
Jia Zheng's face was blue and white, and finally he became angry from embarrassment, and he simply raised his hands.
He didn't fight with Mrs. Wang again, but directly grabbed Mrs. Wang's things.
Don't look at Mrs. Wang saying that she has no money in her hand, but Jia Zheng is such a person that he will not understand Mrs. Wang's temperament. It's pinned on looking for Baoyu.
Besides, Mrs. Wang was seriously injured this time, no matter whether it is to extend the doctor or take medicine, she needs money. If there is no money, where does the medicine she drinks every day come from?
Ever since, Jia Zheng searched directly without politeness.
Sure enough, hundreds of taels of silver bills were found in Mrs. Wang's makeup box.
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and she didn't care about the injury on her hip, she said anxiously: "This is my last bit of money, don't move."
Jia Zheng unceremoniously pushed Mrs. Wang hard, "You are my Jia family's wife, and the money on your body belongs to the Jia family. Why can't I use it?"
Jia Zheng pushed with great force, and Mrs. Wang fell to the ground directly by Jia Zheng's push. She was seriously injured, but under this push, the wound hit the ground, and the newly healed wound burst again. Mrs. Wang was in pain and couldn't move for a moment.
Taking advantage of Mrs. Wang's illness, Jia Zheng was really rude, and searched Mrs. Wang's room, not only robbed the money, but also robbed the only valuable jewelry in Mrs. Wang's makeup box.
The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to stop them but dared not, so they could only watch Jia Zheng walk away with the looted things.
"Ma'am." The old nanny couldn't help asking, "What... what should I do?"
The master's robbing really took away all the property of the wife.
"Are you a dead person?" Mrs. Wang said angrily, "You just watch Jia Zheng robbing things, and you don't want to stop him."
Mrs. Wang cried angrily, what's the use of raising these wastes, she can't even protect the master, far inferior to the loyalty of Zhou Rui's family.
The old mama smiled helplessly, that was the master, and if she had ten more guts, she wouldn't dare to fight the master.
Mrs. Wang was in severe pain, and said angrily, "Hurry up and call the doctor over."
"Yes!" The old nanny replied, but after a pause, she continued, "Ma'am, we don't have any money."
Even the last bit of money was robbed by the master, and the money they brought was used to hire a doctor.
Mrs. Wang shouted: "I still don't go to my mother's house──"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang got stuck first.
When she was injured before, it wasn't that she didn't look for her second sister-in-law and begged her second sister-in-law to help her, but her second sister-in-law ignored her. Not only that, she knew she was injured, but she didn't even Condolences, not even a little medicine was given away.
If they didn't know, and saw that there was no contact between the two families, they might not believe that they were relatives.
The second sister-in-law's behavior is much more ruthless than breaking up a relationship. She asks people to come to borrow money, and the second sister-in-law will never borrow money if she thinks about it.
Mrs. Wang secretly had a headache. If she hadn't heard that Wang Ziteng was about to return to Beijing, she would really not know what to do when she met her natal family who ignored her as if they treated her like a dead person.
She pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Go! Go borrow some money from Second Mistress Lian in Rongguo Mansion. After all, I am her own aunt, so she can't ignore it."
Wang Xifeng wants to save face the most. I don't believe she can watch her own aunt die of illness!
As for Jia She...
She could see that Jia She was more generous than Jia Zheng in this regard, and she would not make things difficult for her, Xifeng, because of this matter.
"Yes." The old mother hurriedly agreed, and went to Rongguo Mansion to borrow money from Lian's second grandmother.
Just as Mrs. Wang guessed, the Rongguo Mansion at this time did not see future generations sit and eat, nor did Wang Xifeng use her own dowry to subsidize the entire Rongguo Mansion. In addition, Wang Xifeng's dowry was rich and always generous. After hearing the tragedy of Mrs. Wang Although I disdain Mrs. Wang's character, but for the sake of my aunt and nephew, I immediately gave Mrs. Wang five taels of silver to extend her medical treatment.
Although the five liang of silver is not much, it is enough for Mrs. Wang to see a doctor once, and then take a few doses of medicine.
The old mother froze for a moment, "Five...five taels of silver!?"
What is the use of these five taels of silver?In the past, it might have been nothing more than a few rewards. My wife is the second grandma's aunt anyway, and the second grandma sent someone with five taels of silver, which is really too much.
The old mother couldn't help but said: "Second Grandma, the five taels of silver is really a little short. How can I put it, the wife is always the second grandma's real aunt."
Wang Xifeng brushed her hair and said with a smile: "You think it's too little? This five taels of silver is my monthly salary."
She paused and said, "If Mammy thinks there are too few, I can't help it, or... Mama can borrow it from other places?"
Hearing this, the old mother stopped talking immediately. If Mrs. Wang had other things to cherish, she would not look for Second Mistress Lian.
In desperation, the old mama had no choice but to take the five liang of silver back, but Ping'er really didn't understand, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did grandma only borrow five liang of silver?"
She thought that with grandma's temperament, she should have borrowed tens of taels of silver at least, so why did she borrow only five taels of silver?
"Where is this five taels of silver?" Wang Xifeng leaned on the Arhat couch and said with a smile, "My monthly salary is only five taels of silver."
Ping'er said angrily: "Grandma...Grandma just tell Ping'er."
Five taels of silver is really not too little if it is placed in an ordinary family, and the monthly money of grandma is indeed only five taels of silver, but in private, who would really live on the monthly money.
Grandma has a dowry and a private house, and she is very loose. The five taels of silver are just for ordinary rewards, not to mention anything else. Generally, servants come to grandma for business, at least 20 taels of silver.
No matter how bad Mrs. Wang is, she is also my grandma's aunt, so I only give five taels of silver, isn't it too little?
To put it bluntly, as a grandma, this is like dismissing a beggar.
Wang Xifeng didn't make things difficult for Ping'er, and said it directly.
Her eyes dimmed, "No matter what, sister-in-law Zhu is a well-behaved person. It's too much to just disappear like this."
As the daughter-in-law of the same grandson, it is absolutely impossible to say that she has no desire to compare with Li Wan in private.
In terms of status, the two are equal, one is a daughter of a civil official's family, and the other is a daughter of a military general's family. In terms of status, neither is worse than the other.
In terms of husband, ten Jialians are definitely not as good as one Jiazhu. The only elder is that Jialian is still alive and Jiazhu is gone.
In terms of children, status in the eyes of the old lady, and monthly money, it is naturally impossible to say that Wang Xifeng is not jealous of Li Wan at all.
She usually used to talk about the fact that Li Wan received 20 taels of silver a month, but refused to give any rewards, but no matter what, Li Wan died too badly.
As soon as Li Wan's death was mentioned, Ping'er also agreed: "The second wife is too cruel."
Is it worth it to kill Grandma Zhu and even give up my own grandson for mere money?No wonder grandma refuses to borrow more money.
but……
Ping'er worried: "The second wife is grandma's aunt after all, so I'm afraid that someone will talk about it."
Grandma usually manages the family very strictly, and there are many gossips in the house about it. Now that grandma only borrowed five liang of silver from her own aunt, it is unlikely that others will talk about it.
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "What am I afraid of!"
What she is most afraid of in her life is gossip, and even if she borrows it, will others say less?Since she couldn't, why would she have to suffer for it.
Wang Xifeng sighed slightly, "Besides
