The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

No matter what Wang Guizhi thought, he couldn't get around Jia Zheng. Who told her to be tied to him now, so he had no choice but to put him aside for the time being. He planned to never put a good face on him in private. Once it's over, I won't look for her anymore.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a little bit of humiliation, and she pulled herself together. She took advantage of it. How old is she? She made a face, so she simply wanted to use his tiger skin to do it.

However, what kind of official is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and what does he do in his daily life? Is there any room for her to help her?

Wang Guizhi didn't want to let himself think about anything else, so he sat up, "Caixia."

"Here, madam, what do you want?"

"Did you keep my dowry account book and the keys to my private house?" Wang Guizhi wanted to take stock of his property.

Caixia nodded, and took out a bunch of keys from her waist pouch, "Madam, do you want to see it?"

"Well, I asked Zhu'er to run some errands just now, and I forgot to give him some money."

It turned out to be like this, it wasn't someone secretly suing the wife in front of her, and Caixia was greatly relieved. Although she had never touched the wife's things, after all she was in charge of the key, and if she was not on guard for a while, it would be leaked. In one and a half places, she didn't want to be driven to the family temple to sell dumplings like Wang Yao's family.

"Madam, you have 500 taels of cash and 500 taels of silver bills, and you have borrowed the rest, and you will pay them back before the time comes." Caixia asked Caiyun to help her move out the gilded sour red branch box. It must be a ledger.

Wang Guizhi was stunned for a moment, and now he is lending usury and collecting interest?After thinking about it carefully, she realized that her money was not lent to ordinary tenants and merchants, but to those officials, especially the newly appointed or released officials. Officer, this errand was sent out, and the money was not available for a while, so I borrowed it from others.For Mrs. Wang, this is a political investment.

If you borrow 1000 taels, you will get 200 taels of interest, and people will be grateful, and you will have a relationship, and you will have other things to pay tribute from time to time. Not a penny is missing.Jia's mansion is in the capital, and no one dares not to return their money.

Even Jia Zheng's salary was operated in the same way when Mrs. Wang was married, so the Jia family was deeply rooted. With the prestige of the ancestors and these personal benefits, it was possible to be so rich.

Looking at the string of official names and the amount of money to be borrowed in the future, Wang Guizhi was secretly startled. Fortunately, she acted carefully, otherwise she could change and touch this kind of profit network at will.In her previous life, she was amazing to participate in a chamber of commerce with assets worth tens of millions. It was just a gathering to eat and eat, to see if there were any projects that could be contracted.

This is not something she is familiar with and capable of, so Wang Guizhi decided to find another way of making money.

"Caixia, first pack 200 taels and send it to Grandma Zhu, and say that I gave it to Brother Zhu." She was alone and took a good look at her assets.

Caixia didn't doubt that she had it, so she carefully wrapped two hundred silver in a handkerchief, put it in a small box, and then led the two little girls to do business for her wife.

It turned out that the person named Jia Zheng was none other than Wang Ziteng, the brother of Mrs. Wang.

He is a descendant of the prince of the county under the command of the Taiwei. He is currently the governor of the Beijing camp. He has won the trust of the emperor and has his own prestige.It's rare to receive a letter from my sister, Mrs. Wang. Although it was written by my nephew, it seems to be just gossip, but people like Wang Ziteng have thousands of knots in their hearts. In his position, there must be someone secretly plotting.

"Brother in law!"

Jia Zheng bowed his hands and greeted Prince Teng.

"Brother Zheng, you are welcome." Wang Ziteng has a good impression of Jia Zheng. He thinks that he is a good-looking talent with good learning. It is a pity that he works in the Ministry of Industry. However, the marriage of the four major families is balanced by the emperor. It is unlikely that he will let him in the near future Jia Zheng has been promoted again, so he can only help secretly in the officialdom.

"Brother-in-law, is something wrong?"

Jia Zheng sat opposite Wang Ziteng, not quite understanding why Wang Ziteng came to visit.

Wang Ziteng said, "Sister sent me a letter, saying that someone brought a lawsuit to Brother Zhu, and only then did I know that her companion had concealed the rent of [-] mu of land, and even raised [-]% of the rent." Didn't it mean that it was his sister, this matter was a trivial matter, but as soon as my sister mentioned it, he sent someone to investigate, if that was the case, other members of the Wang family would be even more arrogant!Some people who were not from the Wang family and Jia family dared to use their names to occupy other people's land rent, and Wang Ziteng became suspicious.

It turned out that the accompanying room did something wrong, Jia Zheng remembered it in his heart, and said with a smile, "Oh, so there is such a thing." No matter what the matter is, it is worth it.

"It's not a big deal. Brother Zheng asked her to take care of the cooking." Wang Ziteng waved his hand and called two male servants, "This is Liansheng and Yongsheng. They have the strength and some martial arts skills under their hands. Later, they will be with you." In front of Zhu Geer, let him order."

"This?" Jia Zheng felt puzzled. Isn't it just a house servant's corruption, is it useful?

Seeing his expression, Wang Ziteng knew that Jia Zheng didn't know that Jia Zhu was slapped in the face by the servants, so he changed his words, "Zhu'er is married, although I think you mean to let him take the scientific examination, but there is another Who knows what kind of thoughts are on the top, in case..."

Jia Zheng's complexion changed, this was a great regret in his life, but Wang Ziteng had much more chances to see the emperor than him, and it was not unreasonable, he sighed, "This is also the kindness of my brother-in-law, I will replace Zhu Geer Thank you." It is necessary for Zhu'er to practice martial arts.

"My relatives, why be polite."

Wang Ziteng had a long talk with Jia Zheng, and left after dinner.

Back at the palace, Wang Ziteng showed the letter to his old wife and asked her to send all the cloth and other things to Mrs. Wang.

The four seasons of the Wang family have red and silver vegetable lamps, and I don’t know how much Ice and charcoal are. I usually walk around with my sister-in-law to give some gifts, but I don’t see so many.Just more, not thicker.

"These things won't be on the table, and it's not a shame to give them to my sister-in-law." Wang Ziteng's wife smiled. She also read the letter and felt that Mrs. Wang was a little short-sighted. What do you want those cloths for?

Wang Ziteng shook his head lightly, "She just used this to ask us. She hasn't seen anything. After all, it is the family members of our Wang family who accompanied her. She will punish them. I am afraid that his relatives in our house will make trouble." In front of you, even though you are a servant, you don't want to hurt our feelings, don't you understand?"

"So that's how it is." Wang Ziteng's wife came to understand after thinking about it carefully, "It's strange to ask how much money you want." Then she felt that Mrs. Wang was giving her the face of the Wang family's mistress, "Then Wang Yao's family is nothing more than that." It's the ancestors who followed our master to do business a few times, and she is so courageous that she deserves to be punished no matter what."

"I sent people to check our house, and there are quite a few. You should also wake up, you must know that these people dare to steal [-] acres, and some people dare to use our name to steal [-] acres, [-] acres !Damn the name of the Wang family!"

Wang Ziteng's wife stood up and said, "I will definitely investigate and deal with it."

"I'll send a few people to help you. They must be carefully investigated and punished severely. We can't afford to use such slaves who deceive others!" Wang Ziteng said coldly, "I'm afraid it's not just villains who are greedy for profit."

I'm afraid someone deliberately set up a trap!

Wang Ziteng's wife paid more attention to it, and the housekeeper brought up the list the next day. She thought Mrs. Wang was considerate and considerate, so she added a box of gems and jewelry that others had just given her, and she also gave some more silk and cloth.

Jia Zheng waited for Wang Ziteng to leave, and asked someone to ask, and he knew that his wife had gone to the Zhuang Huyuan, and let Zhu Geer find out the wrong thing she did with Wang Yao's house, and that there were other companions who were against him. Dun lied, making Brother Zhu feel ashamed.

"So that's how it is." Her companion gave her son no face, so she couldn't be hard on herself?Do you feel sorry for him?

Jia Zheng let people go down, and put down the book in his hand.This can't be blamed on Madam, she has always been considerate and well-behaved in everything, so it's better for someone to save face and airs for her, and take advantage of him in vain.

Finding the reason for his wife's timidity, Jia Zheng laughed for a while, thinking that it was not her fault, she is so lovely now, and she is more lovable than others before, so he drew the appearance with his own pen and let Lai Da went to buy a set of jewels inlaid with pearls and jade, and planned to give them to her in two days.

Mrs. Lai came to the East Mansion, and Jia's mother's order was only for two houses outside the Tiekan Temple. How could Jia Jing refuse to let it go? If you come down, you can't help but listen.After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, I recited some scriptures. Then I thought that there happened to be Jiao Da, who has made great achievements in his daily life, so it would be best to let him do such a thing.

"Send Jiao Da to investigate this matter."

Jiao Da carried the command arrow on his back, he relied on his master to see him differently, and he was a straightforward person who was not afraid of offending others, so he only turned the Ningguo Mansion on their backs, and even many people from the Rongguo Mansion were brought out together, making a fuss After one or two months, it gradually subsided, and the servants of Ningrong and Rongfu didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts of being lazy and slippery.

At this time, Mrs. Wang punished the Shiwen dumpling shop opened by Wang Yao, and it has been open for ten days.
