Old things in the Red Chamber

The most realistic question in front of me is whether there is any money in the family to continue to swell my face to pretend to be fat.

Regarding this matter, Jia Zheng, who wanted to please both sides, was hesitant, and said nothing.This is his consistent style, and he will not express his opinions easily when it comes to major issues.

Mrs. Wang disagreed, and countless ideas turned in her mind.After a compromise, the final result is tantamount to saying that his son and grandson are all bankrupt.

Even Xue Baochai, who was the housekeeper just now, was wondering where the money would come from?

The warehouse has been evacuated, and the old lady will not take out the money from her private house. She looked at her sister-in-law. This is a master who can't ask her for money. They are orphans and widows, and the family's reputation will be lost.Besides, how much money can she have in her hand, except for the dowry and the odd money saved over the years, she can't afford it even if she is asked to pay for it.

Mrs. Wang just kept crying, Shi Taijun was undecided, she also wanted to leave some money for her children and grandchildren, and at the same time wanted to pave the way for their children and grandchildren.

"Old lady, great lord" There are some things Mrs. Wang can't say, but Xue Baochai can say, "Now our family has just been hit by a disaster, and we can't afford so much money to buy things in a short while. My natal family runs a pawn shop. Some dead pawns that no one will come to claim after a long time, you can take them out and use them. They are all relatives, and you can keep accounts. When you have money, you can pay them back. However, those things are just a drop in the bucket, so they won’t be of much use, prince They are young, and the time to open the mansion is still in the future, why don't we accumulate more, and when the time comes, it will make them happy."

This is a good trick for dragging characters.Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai appreciatively, and even Xue Baochai's sister-in-law gave her a smiling face.

The female relatives in the backyard unanimously decided to delay here first. The longer the delay, the money left by the boys and girls in the family after the marriage is over, take it out if you have it, and forget it if you don’t.

Jia Amnesty disagreed, the whole family was virtuous, and he knew it himself.Back then, when he had nothing to do, he went to the warehouse to pick up money, and he had already made a grudge against the second and second couple. These tricks were all things they played back then.

Jia She disagreed, but the family had no money, and the wealthy masters were unwilling to take out the silver they had saved.The family meeting suddenly came to an impasse.

Seeing the time is late.The girls and women came in to light the lamps, and Shi Taijun wanted to end this family meeting quickly.

"That's all, don't talk about it, the old lady still has a few things, just a few things, take it out and put it in first, that's what our family wants."

In the darkness, Jia She squinted his eyes, "Old lady, this is the most taboo thing in life. You can either give it or you won't give it. You took a few things out, and people thought we were sending beggars just to deal with them. Other things Said, the princess and the two princes are not the blood of the old man, yes, let's say that, it is a bit offensive to the Tian family, but old lady, don't forget, our family had a difficult life back then, and Concubine Jia entered the palace from being a maid In the end, it was gone, and how much money was pasted in the middle. This is obviously a matter of meat buns beating dogs and never going back, and you have agreed. Why don't you agree with this matter?"

Shi Taijun calmed down and said to him, "At this time, at that time, our family's life was not difficult at that time, but now our warehouse is gone..."

"Look at what the old lady said, why doesn't our family have a warehouse, and I, an old dude who is not in charge of the family, still have two warehouses. None of the masters in the family have a few warehouses. It's fine to be filial with the strength of the whole family. The amount of things is all in our minds, to be worthy of the royal family, and to be worthy of the concubine and the concubine, but the old lady is just perfunctory, this is unreasonable."

Shi Taijun couldn't be more clear about the virtues of his son. "What exactly do you want to do? Let's say it out loud."

"It's still the same sentence, how much did our family spend for the eldest girl's entry into the palace, and how much did our family spend for the second girl's entry into the palace? It was spent for the eldest girl back then, and now I will make up for it. I don't want the money. Send it to the palace in the name of the whole family. Everyone has good faces, and I don't mind. As for Jia Cong's marriage, how many taels of silver were spent on how many tables of wine, I will do my best to bear it. Don't bother the old lady with the money."

Shi Taijun knew his purpose, and while he was relieved, he regretted that he should have strangled him when he was born.

"I said that this time is different from that time. At that time, there was no one in the family who was living so bitterly..."

"The old lady asked me to draw down the road with open fire just now. I have already marked down the road. The old lady is not willing to take it?"

"Why does the eldest brother persecute the old lady step by step?"

As soon as Jia Zheng said something, Jia Amnesty sneered, "You, Jia's second child, are willing to say a word, why are you taking all the benefits? You still don't allow me to be fair? I don't want to be in this house when we split up." One brick at a time, it is enough for me to make up for all the silver your mother spent."

This mansion is already empty.Everyone here knows that, in Jia Zheng's view, Jia Amnesty wanted to extort a sum of money from himself at this time, knowing that there was no hope of separating the family.

"Brother, there is no money at home. If you really want money, then we two can talk about it."

Jia She sneered, "Say it, okay, we brothers also said it. I don't want anything else from you. Anything left by the old man is yours. It's okay if you don't pay at this time, but Jia Lian he Mother’s dowry, you have to spit it all out for me.”

"Didn't elder brother already take the dowry of sister-in-law?"

"Some of them have been taken away, but some valuable ones have not been taken away. I also admit that the concubine and the concubine are recorded in Jia Lian's mother's name. Since it is recorded in her name, it becomes her daughter and her dowry." There should also be a share for the mother. Parents leave things for their children, especially the dowry. Wherever you say it, the truth is on my side. I take away the bulky things and I still keep them, but what is missing on this dowry list you guys Spit it all out and send it to the palace. It is said that the eldest lady left it for the noble concubine, and the noble concubine left it for the princes."

The people in the room fell into silence, and finally the prince spoke, "It's been a long time, and some things have gone, so don't bother them here. I'll find a few for you from my locker. Her dowry is good, not worse than hers, Yuanyang, come here..."

"Wait, the old lady still doesn't understand what the son wants to say. Since it is a relic of the ancestors, it is natural to find this relic, so that it is a thought to send it over. No matter how many things you send, there are not a few of them. The dowry came with sincerity. You just find a few things to prevaricate, and to put it bluntly, you are still perfunctory."

Shi Taijun was dizzy with anger.At this time, Yuanyang supported Shi Taijun, and turned Jia Amnesty viciously.

Jia She felt a chill in his heart, he didn't have any fear of mandarin ducks.It was because the people around Shi Taijun hated him so much.At that time, you only need to put a little poison in the tea to poison yourself to death.Otherwise, how did Qin Keqing die?

Thinking of this, he felt chills all over his body, thinking about not letting his two sons come back.Even the grandson should not come here, and tell him to go to his old brother's house when he comes back.

Mrs. Wang spoke from behind the screen, "To be honest, my lord, there are several pieces of relatively expensive porcelain that were clumsily smashed by the servants in the early years. Even if I look for it now, I can't find a single piece of it. I have a few pieces of porcelain for dowry. Sending it to the palace, on the one hand, it is the dowry of the eldest wife, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as some kindness from us."

It can make a person like Madam Wang who belongs to Paixiu spit out something, so it can be seen that she was also involved in this matter back then.Her two daughters-in-law quietly stared at her from behind. They were not allowed to intervene at this time. This was a grudge from the previous generation.

"I'll put the words here, either take out the missing dowry, or make up for the money owed for so many years. If the old lady and the second wife are not willing to take these two paths, that's fine. Let's invite the patriarch directly. If the patriarch does not want to separate the family, then I will go to Dali Temple to beat drums and complain."

Shi Taijun hurriedly said, "What face will the princes in the palace have if you do this?"

"They earned their own face. As you said just now, our family has lived a hard life. To put it bluntly, at the end of the day, I can't give them any help. I can chop up messes quickly and make the princes hate me." We are also their blessing."

What this said, people who don't know look at each other, don't know what it means.The people who knew it were like Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng, and their hearts shuddered. Jia Amnesty hinted that if someone rebelled and implicated the princes in the future, it would be a disgusting thing for them that could not be washed away.

Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng looked at each other.I thought nothing would happen at this time.

"How about this, you go back first, we'll look elsewhere tonight, maybe a few pieces of Lian'er's mother's dowry have been missed and haven't been put away, and I'll tell you when I find it the day after tomorrow."

"Didn't the second wife just say that several pieces of porcelain were broken?"

"You've heard it too, but you're still embarrassing us?"

"Old lady, you can give me the money. I passed on the money, and I didn't keep a penny. I bought everything and sent it to their house."

"Just go back, let's look for it first, no matter how many we find, I'll tell you when the time comes, if you can't find anything else, I will give you my dowry. Why, my dowry has humiliated you young masters?"

Jia Amnesty knew that it would be meaningless to talk about it any further. "Since the old lady said so, let's do it like this."

He stood up and walked to the door, turned around and said to Shi Taijun, "Last winter, I saw Mrs. Lai in front of you holding a white jade stove in her hand. I remember right, that was Lian'er's mother's thing too. My son The eyes are sharp, you can tell at a glance whether it is real or not."
