Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber
Chapter 67
Lin Hai said that he didn't know that the family had already separated, and Jia Min would not dismantle his platform. Besides, 10 taels of silver is really a lot.
Jia Shishi originally thought that her son-in-law was filial to her in the past few years, and thought it was because her daughter finally gave birth to a male heir of the Lin family, so she never thought that Jia Min would reject her.But looking at her daughter's letter, she was so aggrieved that she couldn't get angry...
"Old lady! What does my sister say?" Jia Wangshi looked at her mother-in-law expectantly with red eyes. It is not impossible to get 20 taels. Thinking of her Wang family, even her own dowry is more than 20 taels, but she can't take it out. Most of the traumatic things that I asked the household department to pick up were used by Yuan Chun, and the rest were taken by my husband... For this reason, she can only rely on the old lady and Jia Min.
Jia Shishi suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said casually: "Min'er said in the letter that he had secretly cut off the 10 taels of arrears for the family, did Zheng'er not know?"
Jia Wang's eyes widened, 10 taels?That is, half of the debt is gone?Immediately a little happy face.
But without waiting for Jia Wang to be happy, Jia Shi continued: "Because I didn't know that the family had already separated, so the write-off was directly charged to Uncle Rong!"
"This!" Jia Wangshi's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he looked at Jia Shishi in disbelief.
Jia Shishi turned to look at her and said: "Min'er has always had a good relationship with Zheng'er, but since you entered the door, the relationship between their brother and sister has been getting worse day by day, without you interfering, I don't believe it! What's the reason why my son can take 10 taels to pay off the family account, but she hasn't talked to her second brother yet? Think about it for yourself! The Lin family doesn't know how much they owe, and now they can't get it out, so you can figure it out yourself!" 20 taels?Jia Shishi doesn't believe that the Wang family can't get it out?
Jia Wangshi has always been stupid, and she really doesn't like Jia Min, so she was so pissed off by Jia Shishi that she didn't know what to say?
"Family ugliness should not be publicized. Min'er doesn't know that the family has been divided. She married herself, and Zheng'er and her have already had a separation because of you! If you worked hard on a daily basis, how would you have this result?" Jia Shi said to Wang. The biggest dissatisfaction is her scheme against Jia Min.Although she was also somewhat dissatisfied with her daughter, why should Wang Shi?If he doesn't take advantage of her to beat her up now, can he really hold her down when Yuan Chun comes to fruition?
When Jia Wang heard the words, she fell to her knees and cried: "Old lady Mingjian, my daughter-in-law is stupid and can't read a few words. Sister Min is well-educated and talented. How can she like her daughter-in-law? The daughter-in-law is most envious of Sister Min. How can you not be dedicated to your character and talent?"
Just as Jia Shishi was about to reprimand, Jia Baoyu ran in suddenly, ran up to Jia Shishi with a smile, hugged her, and said, "Don't get angry, old lady. If there is anything unhappy, tell Baoyu, okay, okay?" okay?"
Seeing his beloved grandson acting like a baby, even if he shook his head and felt a little dizzy, Jia Shi's mood improved. Seeing Jia Wang's kneeling on the ground, he was not as angry as before, and beat his daughter-in-law at any time. Justin didn't want her grandson to think she was harsh.
Seeing her son acting like a spoiled child to the old lady while winking at herself, Jia Wang felt that her eyes were hot. No matter what, she couldn't just give up so easily even for the sake of a few children!So he looked at Jia Shishi eagerly.
Jia Shishi embraced Baoyu, thought of Yuanchun in the palace, and Jia Zhu who was studying hard day and night, finally heaved a sigh of relief, let Yuanyang take out 5 taels of silver notes, and handed them to Jia Wangshi.
5 taels?Jia Wang was dissatisfied in her heart, but she accepted it with gratitude on her face.
Aunt Zhao, who had a big belly that night, had only a plate of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of porridge... When she made a fuss in front of Jia Zheng, Jia Wang directly cried again, and asked for another 5 from Jia Zheng. Ten thousand taels.
Adding in the 5 taels borrowed from her natal family and the 5 taels from Xue's family, Jia Wang's family can count as enough to owe the 20 taels to the household department. Seeing so much money being sent away, Jia Wang's family looked at everyone The east courtyard where Fang lives, his eyes are full of viciousness!
Even after Jia Zheng heard that Lin Ruhai had helped Dafang repay the 10 taels of silver, he had a big opinion on his sister.
After a few days of unsatisfactory food, Jia Lian, who stayed in the mansion, simply asked Jia Amnesty's consent, and left with his civil and military master.
No matter how the Jia family has opinions, Lin Hai doesn't care now.He said that the money was only lent, and he gave it to Jia She, and there is a possibility of returning it. Just because he can say in the court that "debts and repayments are justified", Lin Hai borrowed money. Still willingly.
"It's not easy to ask for the repayment of the debt, but after the elder brother has done this, how can anyone dare to be unsatisfied? You can afford a concubine worth thousands of dollars, and you can find tens of thousands of concubines." The dowry or betrothal gift of two silver can afford to entertain guests and staff, but can’t pay back the debt, isn’t this clearly against the emperor?” Lin Hai looked at the mansion newspaper, turned his head and smiled at Jia Min.Even if the Zhen family obediently paid back 50 taels first, even if there are more than 300 million taels left, why does the Zhen family owe so much? Does the higher-ups know?
With this attitude, more than 600 million arrears have now been called back. With this money in the treasury, plus the salt tax I sent and other taxes, within a year or two, even if there are disasters, I can barely support the past.
Jia Min smiled wryly for a moment and said: "Big brother is a piece of Chicheng facing the emperor. It was like this in the past. There must be the emperor's intentions in this, otherwise the emperor would not have accepted his sister-in-law to live in the garden with his niece." I feel that my elder brother Jia She can know those secrets so clearly.
Lin Hai had a different idea. When he was the censor of salt inspection, he received some information from his elder brother about the officialdom in Jiangnan. When he was in Gusu, he saw Jia Amnesty, who was in the officialdom in Jiangnan, like a duck to water. With the help of someone, he was able to collect so much privacy and information. Presumably, he himself put his heart into it. This big brother is far from being such a stupid fool, at least he has an extremely accurate understanding of today's psychology.
Lin Lan seemed to be innocently doing a female celebrity at the side. Listening to the conversation of the brother and sister-in-law, perhaps she was one year older. Now the brother and sister-in-law sometimes talked about some things and did not avoid her, and occasionally asked about her. mean.
Lin Lan thought about the grievances in the letter that Sister Fang and the others had written to him, and knew that Jia Amnesty had no place in the officialdom.But it happened that the Supreme Emperor was protecting her, and the Emperor liked it.So just like my brother's guess, there was a new statement, that is, Jia She was following the emperor's instructions to act. After all, he was incompetent and a dude, and this kind of statement was miraculously approved by most courtiers.
"Brother is just messing around, and now Hu'er's marriage has been postponed again! If I can go to high school today, the marriage is fine, but if not..." Jia Min thought of the marriage of the eldest nephew that his sister-in-law mentioned before, and now the sister-in-law has ordered to go In the garden, it's not delayed again, besides, it's well known that the big brother messed up and pried into the warehouse of Ningguo Mansion.
Hu'er's marriage is much more difficult, not many people would be willing to marry their daughters to a husband's family without any help.If Hu'er and Zhu'er can go to high school this time, the marriage will look better, if not...Jia Min feels a bit uncomfortable.
Lin Hai didn't say anything about the Rongguo Mansion, but just glanced at Lin Ling who was docile and thought to himself that he also has a big girl!Seriously said to Lin Ling: "How did you think about the marriage? You said you were going to marry into a merchant, but my brother found a few for you. Why don't you seem to like it?"
Lin Ling shrank her neck and was silent for a while, feeling the warmth of her younger sister grasping her palm, finally raised her head, and said softly: "I want to marry a merchant, just want to start a business, but my brother finds me a merchant who is preparing for the imperial examination Son, those people are willing because of my identity, but in the future... anyway, I don't want to!"
"..." Lin Hai looked at the two younger sisters who were clasping hands, and his head hurt a little. Is there no shortage of money at home?Even if Sister Ling wanted to help Lin Mo study, it would be more than enough. Why is she so interested in business?
A younger sister wants to be a businessman, and a younger sister only wants the other party to be handsome. When Lin Hai thought of this, he felt that this was more embarrassing for him than dealing with official business!
Seeing Lin Hai's troubled look, Jia Min turned her head and chuckled, thinking about what happened to Daiyu in the future, and when he had a headache!There is also a faint reluctance in my heart. When I was in my mother's house, how could I have thought that I would have such a calculating time now?What should I do if my own Daiyu is divorced from me after she gets married?
Jia Amnesty caused such a series of incidents in the court hall that all the civil and military officials in the court had a grudge against him, and there were countless people who hated him. For this reason, Jia Shishi was repeatedly condemned by relatives and friends. He ignored Jia Lian even more, and when he found out that Jia Lian was missing, it was because of him that he made a big fuss in Gusu City.
"What did Lian'er do?" Jia Min felt that after the previous series of manipulations by her elder brother, she was not surprised when she heard that Jia Hu failed the ranking and Jia Zhu was selected!So when I heard that Jia Lian was making trouble, I didn't feel much ups and downs!
Lin Lan pricked up her ears quietly, and heard that Lian Er was making a big fuss in Gusu City, but how could he do it?
"The only daughter of Mr. Zhen Shiyin, the second young master of the Lian family, was watching the lanterns. She was separated from her family. The servant who was carrying her was found passed out on the street. Mr. Zhen was devastated, and his wife also passed out on the spot... ...The Second Young Master Lian took the post from the Rongguo Mansion and forced Old General Feng outside the city of Gusu to seal the city and search...and finally rescued Miss Zhen's family." Lin Zhong told what he knew with a blank expression.
Lin Lan lowered her eyes, put her hands on her forehead, and felt a wave of turmoil in her heart. Has Zhen Yinglian, who has changed her name to Zhen Hui, been abducted?Does this have anything to do with the lame monk and the lame Taoist?She was able to be rescued, does it mean that her fate has been completely changed?Thinking of this, Lin Lan also felt joy in his heart. If Zhen Yinglian's fate is completely changed, does it mean that Daiyu's can also be changed?
Of course, now it is impossible to sit still, Lin Lan decided to take the initiative to attack, completely changed Zhen Yinglian's fate, and entrusted Xue Baochai by the way...
Jia Min was very happy when she heard the words. In her opinion, this was no nonsense. The girl from the Zhen family had mentioned it many times in her sister-in-law's letter. They are very good, they are about the same age, only two years older than Daiyu, and they are also very pampered at home.
"Lian'er did a good job!" Jia Min listened to Lin Zhong talking about how Jia Lian threatened Old General Feng, how he forced the prefect of Gusu to close the city gate for investigation, and how he rescued more than a dozen abducted children. , I feel a little better about this nephew who clamors for his brother to raise him.
Jia Shishi originally thought that her son-in-law was filial to her in the past few years, and thought it was because her daughter finally gave birth to a male heir of the Lin family, so she never thought that Jia Min would reject her.But looking at her daughter's letter, she was so aggrieved that she couldn't get angry...
