Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

"Brother Rong, are you planning to pay back the money?" Jia Zhen is not really an idiot. The son asked about the money owed to the treasury for no reason, and said that the money that Jia's mother was greedy for ink was used for other purposes. With the two together, no matter how stupid he is, he knows what Jia Rong is going to do?

Jia Rong nodded: "Well, I have this plan." The money owed to the treasury is like a blind poison hidden in the body, and it seems that there is no danger to the body now.But once there is an introduction, it will cause fatal danger to the body.

Of course, even if the money is to be paid back, it will take a good time.For now, he has no plans to pay it back.It's just that I want to get a general idea of ​​the situation, so as to save myself from being in a hurry in the future.

Jia Zhen frowned: "But it's not our family that owes money to the treasury. Except for the king of Beijing, all the four princes and eight princes have a share. The money owed by our mansion is not The most. If you just pay it back, wouldn’t you offend other families who also owe money.”

Hearing Jia Zhen's words, Jia Rong was a little bit surprised. Such words did not seem to come from Jia Zhen, a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.However, what Jia Zhen said was not wrong at all, "Father's words are not wrong at all. Therefore, I am just asking now, and I don't plan to pay back right away. The reason is the same as what my father said just now. We Ningguo Mansion can't be that early bird."

"Then, since you don't plan to return it now..."

Jia Rong knew that Jia Zhen hadn't given up, so she interrupted Jia Zhen, "Although I don't plan to pay it back now, I have to prepare the money first. Otherwise, when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Jia Zhen was still a little reluctant, and was about to refute a few more words, but when she raised her head, she saw Jia Rong's beautiful eyes looking at her with a half-smile. Jia Zhen was most afraid of Jia Rong's expression. Immediately discouraged, he abruptly changed the words that were on the verge of his mouth, and even squeezed out a forced smile on his face: "Brother Rong said very well. It is time to plan ahead, so that we can do it in the future." No fuss."

With such a tone and such an expression, one could tell that the words were insincere, but Jia Rong was very satisfied with Jia Zhen's attitude of understanding current affairs.

As long as his attitude is right, it doesn't matter whether what he said is true or not.

While Jia Rong and Jia Zhen were discussing the money owed to the state treasury, the Rongguo Mansion was also discussing.

Of course, the content of their discussion is naturally what Jia Rong and Jia Zhen said, which cannot be connected.What they discussed was naturally the two conditions that Jia Rong left for them before leaving.

"Mother, what should we do now?" Jia Zheng looked at Jia's mother and asked.

Jia's mother was also a little bit at a loss now. After thinking about it, she said with a bit of embarrassment: "Brother Rong's temperament, I don't need to say, he is the most ruthless and lawless. He is so I said it. It must be said and done. Zhu Er and Yuan Chun are now discussing marriage, so we can only... We can only choose the first, otherwise if he really makes trouble, he will definitely It will affect them." When Jia's mother said this, her heart was trembling with pain.

"But mother, in this way, the money..." Jia Zheng said in a murmur.

Jiamu's 15 taels plus Mrs. Wang's 4 taels is nearly 20 taels of silver. Who should pay for such a large amount of money?

When Jia's mother heard Jia Zheng mentioning the money, she felt pain all over her body, and she said after a long time, "Since this matter is caused by me and the second family, we are naturally the big ones. I will take out most of it here." 10 taels for the second daughter-in-law, considering that Zhu Er and Yuan Chun are both at the age of marriage, and they need a lot of money. She just took out 2 taels." When Jia's mother said this, her heart really hurt. He looked around, and then continued: "As for the rest..." Looking sideways at Jia She, with a bit of uneasiness in his tone, he said, "You two, I don't have too many here." As for the request, just take out [-] yuan. As for the rest, you can get it from the public.”

Jia Zheng naturally had no opinion on this, and was the first to nod in agreement.Although Mrs. Wang felt sorry for the 2 taels of silver she wanted to pay, she also knew that she couldn't allow her to say no now.After thinking about it, she thought that now she is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and this sum of money can be slowly made up in the future, and he felt a lot better.

But Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were very reluctant.Mrs. Xing was better. As a daughter-in-law with no status in the mansion, even if she had great dissatisfaction in her heart, she only showed it on her face and did not speak.

Jia Amnesty was different. Although he was foolish and filial, he obeyed Jia Mu's words, but it was a matter of money, so that was another matter.Immediately he jumped up and said angrily: "Mother, what do you mean by that? How much you lack, the public will make up for it, and it should only be given to you by your son. But the second daughter-in-law is greedy for ink, she shouldn't Take it out?" Staring at Mrs. Wang with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, she said again: "If there is a daughter-in-law like Mrs. Wang in any family, it would be extraordinarily merciful not to send her back to her natal family with a divorce letter. What kind of reason is it that an uncle like me should pay her sister-in-law and her shady private house debts now? I want to go to the palace and ask Wang Ziteng, that's how his family teaches Daughter's work?"

Looking at Jia Zheng, with two points of contempt in his eyes, he said, "Second brother, do you think I'm right?"

When Jia Mu heard Jia She's words, she became angry again.Mrs. Wang's expression was also extremely ugly.Jia Zheng was the most face-saving person, and he had suffered a lot from Jia Rong's place before, and his stomach had long been suffocated with nowhere to vent his anger.Now it seems that he has found a place to vent his anger, and he gave Mrs. Wang a vicious look. It was this woman who made him so ashamed.If it wasn't for Zhu'er and Yuan Chun's sake, he would definitely want to divorce her and return her to her natal family.

"What elder brother said is true. There is no such reason." Turning to look at Jiamu, he continued: "Mom, what elder brother said is right. The 4 taels of silver that Wang's greedy for ink, she can just pay for it herself."

It was precisely because of this that Jia Zheng did not enter Mrs. Wang's room for half a year, either resting in the study or at Aunt Zhao's place. The angry Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth.Taking advantage of Jia Zheng's absence, he tried different ways to torment Aunt Zhao.

Of course, this is all for the funeral, so I won't express it for the time being.

Jia's mother has two sons and one daughter, and the favorite is Jia Min, who was born in her thirties.As for the two sons, although they are all the flesh that fell from her body, Jia Mu has always been close to the younger son, because Jia She did not grow up under her knees since childhood, but was raised by her mother-in-law. At that time, Yiqian's private house was left to the boss except that Min'er got a symbolic 2000 taels of silver and a Zhuangzi as a makeup for her.Her political son doesn't even have a penny, which can be said to be extremely partial.It is precisely because of this that she is slightly biased towards the second child.

Just now, I was thinking about the richness of the boss's private house, so I asked him to pay 1 taels. I didn't want his reaction to be so big. Even when he was asked to move out of Rongxi Hall and let the second child's family live in, he didn't do that. big performance.However, Mother Jia also knew that it was the boss who was right about this matter. Although his words were harsh, they were also true.

Seeing what Jia Zheng said, she cursed Jia Amnesty secretly in her heart, and stopped demanding. Anyway, it is true that the Wang family got 4 taels of silver.Then, nodded: "Well, since Zheng'er said so." Turning to look at Mrs. Wang, "Just take out all the 4 taels of silver you got."

Mrs. Wang was naturally very reluctant, but she also knew that even though Mother Jia took the lead in this matter, she was also involved. She had no choice but to nod unwillingly to answer.

Anyway, she is in charge of Zhongfei, and she will make up for it slowly in the future.

"It's simply too much. Master, my mother is really partial to the second wife. Think about how much the master has been wronged over the years. You are filial, master, and you haven't said a single word of complaint. Just like today's incident, you are obviously the king. It's my fault, she was greedy for her own money, and now my mother wants you to use your own money to supplement Wang's. Which family reason is this? Thinking about it, my concubine feels wronged for you It's like last time..." On the way back, Mrs. Xing was very indignant and kept talking to Jia She.

Unlike Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion was reorganized by Jia Rong.The servants in the Rongguo Mansion are all people who watch the dishes, and their eyes are all on the top of their heads.Like Mrs. Xing, she is a step-wife, and her natal family is of humble background. She herself married into the Jia family for nearly ten years, and she has no sons and a half daughters under her knees. She is not respected by her husband, and her mother-in-law does not like it. .As the eldest son's daughter-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion, she is a respectable eldest wife, but she has no voice in the Rongguo Mansion, but any decent woman dares to show her face.Definitely an embarrassing person.

It is precisely because of this that she is extremely sensitive to the in and out of money and embezzles it. Once the money in and out is in her hands, she will embezzle it abnormally and greedily take money.

When Jia Amnesty thought about what happened just now, he was also very angry. Mrs. Xing's words added fuel to the fire, making him even more angry.It's just that it's okay for Jia She to be in a bad mood now, and Mrs. Xing keeps talking non-stop without winking.It made him feel even more annoyed. He turned his head and yelled at Mrs. Xing: "You've been nagging, are you annoying? Shut up quickly."

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia She's expression was really unkind, she immediately stopped talking and dared not say any more.

Jia Rong listened to Wu Ya's report, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Very well, these days, what is it that Mrs. Fei is called Qiu..." Spreading her hands, she expressed that she still has no idea about the names of some irrelevant people. It's kind of forgettable.

Wu Ya immediately said, "It's Qiu Tong."

"Yes, it's her. Ask Mrs. Fei to be by her side and talk about how Jia She was wronged and how Mrs. Jia was eccentric. Then when the time comes, ask Mrs. Fei to reveal it to Qiu Tong, and say..." Jia Rong's voice dropped as he spoke, barely audible.

These days, the best wind is the pillow wind.

Speaking of Qiutong, it has nothing to do with her.She is a peasant girl outside the city, but because she was born with a bit of beauty, she is unwilling to be mediocre, and spends her whole life with the peasants, only wanting to climb high.Later, in order to pursue a life of prosperity and wealth, he sold himself to the Rongguo Mansion.Originally, the target was set on Jia Zhu, but Jia Zhu was actively preparing for the next year's imperial examination, how could Mrs. Wang allow the servant girl to disturb his mind at this time.Finally, after going around for a while, Qiutong hooked up with Jia She and became his roommate.As for himself, he just took advantage of her vanity and asked her to blow a few words of pillow talk next to Jia Amnesty's pillow.

It's just a bad brotherhood between Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.

Wu Ya replied immediately: "Yes."

Grandpa pardon, I really want to see how stupid and filial you can be?If you can still endure this, I will write you a big word of 'submission'.It's really nice weather tomorrow!

Jia Rong looked up at the tourmaline-like blue sky, the corners of her mouth twitched, thinking so.
