Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

"The meaning of the emperor and the emperor is that we can understand, we are not that kind of family that has gone through many dynasties, and the empress is not a noble concubine, concubine, etc., and there is no need to compare with others.

However, the old lady is right. Although we don’t compare ourselves with others, we can’t lose face. After all, the people standing behind the empress are not ordinary people, but two Duke’s mansions. Let’s do this, our Ning mansion will pay 5 taels , and on behalf of the family, 2 taels is also considered our intention. "

"Where can we let the patriarch pay for us, I will give 8000 taels on behalf of our lineage!"

"Yeah, we pay by ourselves, we pay 5000 taels!"

"We are 4000 taels!"

"We can't compare, so we paid 1000 taels!"

.......

"Okay, you belong to yours, and I belong to mine. There are always people from poor families in the clan, so it's natural for them to come from the clan!"

The elders of all clans nodded, and the praises came from intertwined.

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and counted secretly, the total was only 10 taels, what use would it be!

These people said it nicely, didn't they want to take advantage of the empress, but also didn't want to use their strength!One day, they will beg themselves to let the empress do things!

Jia She and his wife were also not happy, no matter how high the empress climbed, it was the second wife's business, but it was their eldest wife who paid the money and effort, even Jia She, who was not doing what he wanted, was secretly thinking whether to send his daughter to the palace I went, but thinking about Yingchun's temperament, it's just thinking about it.

"Since that's the case, the old man is here to have more kindness from all of you."

Jia's mother was not very satisfied. The mere 10 taels really couldn't get into Jia's mother's eyes.The obviously aggravated "good intentions" sound, everyone also heard the bad meaning.

Jia Jing ignored it, "We don't need to find land to buy a house again. Our two families are small, and there are many houses in the back. There are no other houses in the back, so we can build a family-friendly villa in the back." Enough is enough, any more is to provoke the emperor's eyes.

"Now, don't look at the emperor ascending the throne, everything will be stable, and don't think that the emperor will support Prince Yide again, it will change the sky. This storm will not stop for a while, everyone control your family, don't worry about it. Make trouble for the clan!"

"Yes! Follow the patriarch's instruction!"

Now that the Jia family members have unified their opinions, even if Jia Mu is dissatisfied, she can only agree. This is a patriarchal society, and Jia Mu is just an old widow who lost her husband.

Then, everyone dispersed back one by one.

It was getting late, and Jia Mu asked people to stay here. At this hour, the clansmen who were far away did not shirk, and followed Rongfu's servants to the wing room one by one, and the nearest one went back in a carriage.

He didn't notice that the lights in Jiamu's yard were always on.

Jia Mu leaned sideways on the pillow, and Yuanyang took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, covered Jia Mu's lap, served Liu'an Guapian tea made with pearls, and then picked up the delicate and petite pear wood hammer and tapped it lightly. with.

Mother Jia adjusted her body, took a sip of tea, and sighed as if she was enjoying herself. Sure enough, she was specialized in arts, not to mention that Mrs. Zhang was too tired to serve people, even the people being served were uncomfortable, but after all, she was not her own junior. She's not just an unidentified maid, but at that moment, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she could only endure it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen asked softly,

"Old lady, it's getting late at this time. Today is a busy day. You must be tired too. Why don't you take a rest earlier?"

Jia's mother shook her head, "No, I'm getting up at this age, and I don't sleep much, but I'm sleepy, and I can't sleep anymore. Sit down and talk, do you have any ideas?"

Jia She was originally a cowardly person, before all the elders were there and dared not speak, but now, only his own family is left, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said,

"Mother, it's too dishonest to respect big brother, so I'll give you 10 taels. We don't have much cash in the house, and we're using the money from the treasury. Where can we get the money to build a family-friendly villa?"

Jia's mother became angry, "Listen, what is this called? You old man is staring at the money in the house. You said that you respect your elder brother without righteousness. Why didn't you say it just now, so that he can give more money?" What are you doing here?"

Mother Jia thought, is it true that Jia She's teasing cats, walking dogs, and indulging in womanizing are all fake, secretly staring at the family's furniture?

The more angry he was, the son had not been close to him since he was a child, and he grew up beside the old godly woman who trained him. Before the old godly woman passed away, she gave him all her life savings and left nothing His own political son and title were taken away by him again, and his wealth and fame were taken away by him.

Now he is just using his father's money to build a villa for Erfang, and he is not happy. Isn't this the glory of the whole mansion, and if it is said, is he not honored as the grand master of the Duke?

He has to keep an eye on this small amount of wealth, and when he is gone for a hundred years in the future, he still has to hold the money in the mansion firmly. Two sentences don't know filial piety, but how can a person like him care about reputation?

Mother Jia seemed to have seen the scene where her upright Zheng'er and clever Baoyu were kicked out.

Jia's mother was angry, but Jia Amnesty did not dare to agree, so she knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen also knelt aside.Seeing his brother and sister-in-law kneel down, Jia Zheng and his wife also knelt down, and the servant girls around them also knelt quietly.

Suddenly, there was silence.

Chen secretly wronged, marrying such a pig teammate, no matter how capable, there is no way out.

Helpless, the son is not her own, and she can't give birth to it herself. This can only be the person she has to rely on. Against Jia's mother's anger, she helped her and said,

"Old lady, it's all about the daughter-in-law. A while ago, I heard my daughter-in-law, Sister Feng, say that the past two years have not been good, and the family is also a little bit unsustainable, so I chatted with our master for a few words, but he remembered it. superior......"

Jia Shen never thought that Jia's mother would be so angry. Hearing his daughter-in-law step down the steps for him, he quickly interjected,

"Really, how did I know this? It's not because Mrs. Chen is always nagging in my ears. I just listened to it and brought it here to talk about it. Who knew that it offended my mother. Is it the son's fault?" .”

Chen silently lowered her head even lower, as if admitting her mistake, but in fact she secretly hated Jia She for being weak and useless, thinking that she was unaccompanied in Jia's mansion, surviving in the cracks, trying hard to get a place, but always... ...

Jia's mother didn't care about family affairs in the early years, but after all, she was in charge of Jia's family all her life, so how could she lose her influence?

She has placed people everywhere in the Jia family, and these people will report to herself every once in a while. The Chen family, the big and small Wang families are fighting for power and profit, and they want to use the power of housekeeper to add some private houses to themselves. She also knows .

As long as it's not too much, she doesn't bother to take care of it, the family will be handed over to them after all, and no matter how much furniture their daughter's family gets, where can they spend it, it's not the heirs of the Jia family.
