Chapter 95 The Fall of the Rongguo Mansion

It was October in a blink of an eye, and Jia Zheng had already counted Mrs. Wang's dowry, left Yan's things to Jia Lian, and moved out of Rongguo Mansion with the second wife.Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing moved to Rongxi Hall and lived in the main house.

Once the people in the second room moved out, the Rongguo Mansion was much emptier and more cold-hearted.Wang Xifeng took this opportunity to sell another batch of slaves who talk too much and do nothing, and save a lot of expenses.

Because Erfang had already given Jia She 5 taels of silver to return to the national treasury, it was impossible for Jia She to hold on to that sum of money all the time. According to Mrs. Jia, first prepare all the silver to be returned to the national treasury.Don't spend it when the time comes, and you will have nowhere to look for it.

Mrs. Jia has already seen the decay of the mansion, Jia Yuanchun did not enter the palace as a concubine, there is no man in the mansion to support her, and the second daughter-in-law had an accident.Then their house should prepare to pay back the money to the treasury early, so as to save the royal family from saying that their family has money to put loan sharks, but they have no money to pay back the treasury.

Before the other dignitaries returned the money from the state treasury, Mrs. Jia wanted to wait until the end of the year at the latest.At least by making up for Mrs. Wang's fault of lending usury, the Rongguo Mansion can get up again, and it won't be suppressed all the time.

Even if there are no other dignitaries to pay back the money from the treasury, they have to pay it back.There is another reason in their house, and that is because Mrs. Wang put usury.If other dignitaries resent them for paying the treasury first, they have something to say.

Mrs. Jia is old and can't stand the big twists and turns, and she can't think much about her family.

On this day, Mrs. Jia called Wang Xifeng.It was cold, but Mrs. Jia didn't sit in the house, but went to the yard to bask in the sun.

"Brother Qiang will get married in two days, you go to the next door." Mrs. Jia seldom went to the next door, most people from General Wei Lie's house came to see her.

Since the incident of beating Mrs. Wang happened, fewer people came to General Wei Lie's mansion, and Xiao Tai'an came less often than before.

Mrs. Jia knew in her heart that even if the second daughter-in-law was exiled to the northwest, the relationship between the two prefectures would be frozen, and it would not be so easy to recover. It was impossible for the next-door prefecture to pretend that nothing had happened.Therefore, Rongguo Mansion still has to bow its head and look for a suitable opportunity to ease the relationship between the two mansions.

"No matter who Brother Qiang married, as an elder, you should care about what you should care about." Mrs. Jia said.

"I listen to my ancestors." Wang Xifeng smiled, and asked someone to bring a small blanket to cover Mrs. Jia's knees, "It's cold, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea."

Wang Xifeng poured the tea brewed on the table into a teacup, and put the teacup in front of Mrs. Jia.

"You too, how warm you are." Mrs. Jia looked at Wang Xifeng's protruding belly, "Go back soon, don't freeze outside."

"It's not good to stay in the house every day, and you should come out more." Wang Xifeng valued the unborn child in her belly, but it was impossible to ignore things and stay in the house every day. "It's cold, wear more clothes." Just a few pieces."

The You family, Aunt You and others already knew that Jia Qiang was going to marry an actor, and Jia Qiang had found someone to be a serious matchmaker before the engagement.

After Second Sister You learned of this incident, she was sad for a while.Although Jia Qiang is not the heir of General Wei Lie's mansion, he is not considered Jia Rong's real brother, but only a cousin.But Jia Qiang married an actor from the theater troupe, who was worse than herself. Such a woman can be Jia Qiang's first wife, so why can't she be Jia Rong's second wife.

"You are not the same as that Lingguan." Third Sister You didn't think that Second Sister You was any better than Lingguan. In the eyes of Third Sister You, Lingguan had no father or mother, and lived only by singing in an opera troupe.Ling Guan relies on her own singing to live, and it is better than Second Sister You who always spends other people's money, "She is better than you."

Don't expect Third Sister You to think that Second Sister You is better than Ling Guan, and don't expect Third Sister You to say that Ling Guan is not.

Third Sister You herself sang music outside, drinking and chatting with the guests, while actors like Lingguan still sang and sang operas, not necessarily chatting and drinking with the guests.In the eyes of Third Sister You, she and Ling Guan are considered to be the same kind of people. They both rely on their own money to support themselves and do not rely on men.

As for Lingguan being with Jia Qiang, it was Jia Qiang who had discernment, and he saw the essence of Lingguan.

Third Sister You also wanted to meet such a person, no matter whether she was singing ditties outside, or whether she was drinking and chatting with those men or not, she hoped that there would be such a person who could see her sincerity and see the real her.Instead of being like those people, thinking that she is cheap and not good.

"Even if she is like this, she can be someone's wife." Third Sister You also wanted to be someone's wife, not a concubine.

Those who went to the tavern to listen to Third Sister You singing ditties, and people from powerful families, some of them proposed to take Third Sister You as a concubine.Third Sister You naturally disagreed, not to mention that she was hypocritical, they didn't understand her, she wanted to find someone who understood herself, a figure appeared in her mind, that person had also sung in an opera, and that person would definitely understand herself.

"Why am I not as good as her?" Second Sister You didn't think she was inferior to the senior official, and she got angry when she heard her sister say such things.

"She supports herself and relies on herself. And you, taking other people's money, still miss their husband." Third Sister You sneered, "Don't say it's the elder sister's money, the elder sister didn't have so much money before. We, the Qin family, will give more after they take charge of the family. "

Third Sister You couldn't understand Second Sister You's actions, she took other people's money, Xiao missed her husband, and his husband didn't want her, so she just talked about other people here.

"You..." Second Sister You hates her younger sister more and more because she always irritates her so much, "If it weren't for you, would my reputation be so bad? If my reputation isn't bad, it wouldn't be like this. "

"Is it interesting to say things like this every time?" The third sister You heard most was that her second sister blamed her for bad reputation, "Is Ling Guan's reputation good? What good reputation can an actor have, but Jia Qiang is not the same I want to marry her, but you still stay at home."

Second Sister You heard what Third Sister You said, and immediately stepped forward to arrest her own sister.

"Enough!" Aunt You appeared at the right time, and she knew that after the two sisters stayed at home, they would definitely make a fuss, "It's not that your sister didn't do something, she also did embroidery."

"The clothes you wear are not something you can buy just by doing embroidery work." Third Sister You glanced at Second Sister You, "Without this family, there are other families, why bother to say those things. This person is not as good as her , that person is not as good as her, who does she think she is, relying on others to survive, and who can compare to her."

The sisterhood between the second sister You and the third sister You was not bad at first, especially when they were young, the relationship between the two sisters was considered excellent.When they grow up, the sisterhood between the two is not so good, but there are conflicts.

The second sister You is more inclined to find a suitable rich man, but the third sister You hopes to work hard to make money to support herself, and then find a confidant.It's like a dodder flower who relies on others, and a strong woman with a thorny rose. The two people's very different concepts rub against each other. After friction again and again, the relationship gradually deteriorates.

When the You family had a dispute, General Wei Lie's mansion was being decorated with lanterns and festoons.Even if Jia Qiang moved out after getting married, but they got married in General Wei Lie's mansion after all, which should be popular or not.General Wei Lie's mansion hadn't had a happy event for a long time, and it happened to be lively.

Jia Xichun tied red bows on Big Fatty and Big White Rabbit, and rubbed their little heads.

Big Fat Orange stretched out his forelimbs and fiddled with the bow on his neck, as if saying: Butterfly, move.

The big white rabbit's reaction was a bit smaller, at most, he glanced at the bow tie a few more times while eating the grass.Maybe it feels that the bow tie prevents it from grazing, and this kind of thing is too intrusive.

"It's better for you to take it apart." Jia Xichun saw them looking at the bow tie from time to time, in order to prevent them from strangling themselves, it's better to take it apart, "You are so fat, it's not easy to wear small clothes."

Jia Xichun didn't put on small clothes for them. She had seen Yaoxiu before. Some Yaoxiu felt that clothes were troublesome and didn't like to wear clothes. They said that after wearing clothes, their skin felt like they couldn't breathe.Some still like to maintain their original shape, but most of the demon cultivators still walk in the human form in human form, and rarely maintain their original hometown. Some demon cultivators still hate themselves for being demons and not humans.

She thinks there is no need for pets to wear clothes. After all, it is not too cold now, and they can hold on.

"You are all so old, let's depend on each other." Jia Xichun did not sterilize the big white rabbit and the big fat orange, but fed them medicine when they were in heat, so that they would stop screaming, "Others have beauties, you There are cats and rabbits, cross-species interdependence."

Big White Rabbit and Big Fat Orange couldn't understand what she was saying, if they could understand, they would probably fight again.

After these two pets got older, they often fought, and they fought again a few days ago, maybe because the big white rabbit took one more look at Big Fat Orange's little fish, and Big Fat Orange swung it with his tail.But the big white rabbit thinks that the big fat orange is showing off its tail. The rabbit's tail is not as long as the cat's. Then, the big white rabbit kicks and steps on the big fat orange.

Jia Xichun thinks that after the IQs of the two have increased, they are not as stupid as they were before, at least they were not so lively at that time, and they didn't fight all the time.

After teasing the big white rabbit and the big fat orange for a while, Jia Xichun went to Mrs. Zhang to see if there was anything she could do to help.Qin Keqing is pregnant and has a big belly, so it's hard to keep busy.Youshi did help with some things back and forth, and he was not lazy.

Youshi was busy back and forth, she just hoped that Jia Qiang would get married and move out sooner.She saw Aunt You again a few days ago, and Aunt You talked about Second Sister You again.She could only smile, it was impossible to force the second sister Jia Rongnayou, she still wanted to stay in General Wei Lie's mansion, and she didn't want to be dismissed and go home.

A woman who has not had children for many years should live cautiously in her husband's house, so how can she make so many troubles.

Youshi understood why Mrs. Zhang agreed to Jia Qiang's marriage to an actor. It was because Jia Qiang was not Mrs. Zhang's grandson, and the old lady didn't want to break up with him.Anyway, Jia Qiang was going to move out and married an actor, which had little impact on the mansion, and the mansion did not allow an actor to entertain guests.

Even if Second Sister You enters General Wei Lie's mansion, she is only a concubine and cannot entertain guests.But Jia Rong is the heir of General Wei Lie's mansion, and she accepted such an actor, and she is also the stepmother's sister, so it's not good to say it, and her reputation is also bad.

Youshi was afraid that Mrs. Zhang knew that the You family still had thoughts about Jia Qiang's affairs, so she would work harder.After Jia Qiang Chengjin moved out, her natal family knew the difference between whether she moved out of General Wei Lie's mansion or not.

Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion next door moved out as soon as he moved out. Once the door was changed, not so many people came to him.And because Jia Zheng was suspended, no one came to him, and the difference between before and after was too great.

After more than a month of long trek, Mrs. Wang finally arrived in the northwest. The clothes on her body were already a little tattered, not as new as when she just put them on.The officials did take good care of her, but she couldn't bear the rough food, and she couldn't take a bath.

Mrs. Wang would spend some money to eat better, and those officials took Mrs. Xue's money, and the head of the officials was a fairly upright person, so they asked Mrs. Wang to spend money to eat better.Mrs. Wang is eating better, and the rest of the exiles are exiled together. If you have money, you can eat well.

These exiles don't pay attention to these things, and these prisoners themselves are criminals, and they don't have that integrity in their hearts.They didn't do much when the officials were there, but when those women lived with Mrs. Wang at night, some people went to snatch money and grabbed Mrs. Wang wildly.

Those women also have a higher status, but they have all been exiled, and they will never have the chance to return to the capital in this life, so what do they care about so much.What's more, some of them are still in exile with their families, without money, how will they live in the future, it just so happens that there is a rich man here, don't rob her and rob others.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang's apparent money was coerced and robbed a lot.This made her deeply aware that she was no longer the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, nor the aunt of the Wang family.Here she is, an exiled prisoner, even if the officials look after her for the sake of money, they can't care so much.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xue sewed the banknote very carefully, so that those women tore their clothes and couldn't find the banknote.They didn't tear up Mrs. Wang's clothes anymore, thinking that Mrs. Wang's family had put their money outside. After all, there were hundreds of taels of silver outside.

After Mrs. Wang was robbed of money, she was so heartbroken that she gave all the obvious money to the officials, so as not to be robbed, it would be better to eat better on the way.

After arriving in the northwest, the prisoners like Mrs. Wang were assigned to the ravine. These exiled prisoners are not ordinary people, and they cannot live like ordinary people. They still have to work, for example, they have to work in the fields and sew for soldiers. clothes and such.

When Mrs. Wang arrived at her residence, she saw the simple thatched cottage and thought she had made a mistake.

"What are you looking at?" The person who sent Mrs. Wang and the others to the mountain village was no longer an official sent to the northwest, but a local official in the northwest. "When you are still ladies, this is where you live. Room, that’s not where you live. Why, do you want to pay for it?”

When Madam Wang heard this, she didn't dare to take out the bank notes. She could guarantee that if she took out the banknotes now, the rest would be taken away after a while.

Along the way, Mrs. Wang has seen the toughness of the people who were exiled together.But here, there are more people who have been exiled here. Mrs. Wang dare not take out the bank notes, so she can only hide them. Those coins are still used at critical moments, and cannot be used now.

Mrs. Wang walked into the thatched hut, saw the dust in the house, and felt the cold wind blowing.

"That's right." The official said, "Don't worry, this house is not so easy to fall down, it was reinforced a few days ago."

The house is strengthened, but not cleaned.These exiled prisoners are coolies for people in the northwest, and they can do a lot of things. How can they be so easily crushed to death by the house.

These exiled prisoners are mainly managed by the generals stationed in the northwest. These generals are not bad. If these exiled prisoners are allowed to work and give them a bite to eat, they can survive in the end.

Mrs. Wang has never suffered like this. Even if she lived in a ruined temple on the way to the northwest, there is no need to clean up.But now, she has to tidy up the simple thatched hut by herself, learn how to cook and cook, and learn many things.

The present Mrs. Wang has become much haggard and aged, not as young as before she came here.On the way here, she was beaten by other exiled women, her hair was pulled, she was injured and sick, and she was numb.

If she hadn't thought that Jia Zheng would not be able to continue, she would have been killed by a headshot.Mrs. Wang wants to live, no matter how hard and tiring she is, she wants to occupy the place of Jia Zheng's original concubine wife so that he cannot continue.

He didn't send her off, and he didn't have anything to say to her. Mrs. Wang just felt that her life was ridiculous. She put usury by herself, not for the second wife.Jia Zheng asked for money when he went out to drink with his friends, and he also asked for money to take care of his clients. Since Mrs. Jia handed over the Zhongfu to Wang Xifeng, the second room could not withdraw money from the public at will.

A lot of the money that Jia Zheng spent was taken from her, and most of the second house was where the money was spent.The second room didn't inherit the Rongguo Mansion, so if they didn't make a little more money, what would they do if they split up in the future?

That day, at the gate of the city, Mrs. Wang also quietly asked Mrs. Xue, because Mrs. Xue lived in Rongguo Mansion, so she could hear some things more or less.Mrs. Wang wanted to know what to do with her dowry, so Mrs. Xue told Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang calculated that even if the fine of 10 taels was gone, there would still be a lot of money left.She didn't believe that Jia Zheng didn't go to see it, and under such circumstances, he didn't even go to see him off.

Having been Jia Zheng's bedside person for so many years, Mrs. Wang roughly understood that her husband must have fallen in love with her. He had been clamoring to divorce his wife before, but she was arrested again. He must be thinking why he couldn't. Divorce her.

"Jia Zheng!" Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, "Just watch, I'm sure I'll live well!"

Not only did she have to work hard to survive, but she also had to write letters back to Wang's family and Jia Baoyu to let them all know that she was alive.As long as he is alive, Jia Zheng cannot continue.

At this time, Jia Zheng was at Aunt Zhao's side. Without Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao would have seized the opportunity.Aunt Zhao has a son and a daughter, both sons and daughters, she has many advantages over other aunts.

"Brother Huan missed the master very much, and even said to bring him over to bring you soup, but you didn't think about it, so you came here." Aunt Zhao said with a smile, and Jia Huan had already run in front of Jia Zheng.

Jia Huan is different from Jia Baoyu. Jia Huan is more stubborn, but Jia Zheng doesn't care much.In Jia Zheng's eyes, Jia Baoyu should study more as a legitimate son, and Jia Huan, a concubine, should be more lively, so it doesn't matter.
