The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

He doesn't care about 21, he will go to the board if he doesn't like it, he is afraid that it will be too late, how dare he complain, he just hopes that she will take it back soon, Mrs. Li smiled, "I think you are much better at taking care of it than me, how about Please master work hard for a while, and I will take a rest."

Although Jia Amnesty said he was proud of being praised, he was really impatient with those needles and threads, such as fancy screens and jars, how much monthly money a person in a house should receive, and how many waits and waits. Maybe he can't even send out the monthly money, he waved his hand and said, "You should do it." He was afraid that she was really bad, and the younger siblings would let the little girl embarrass him again, and asked, "Are you okay? If it’s really not good, you can rest for a while. If you want something, just tell me, it’s not a good idea to get it to your younger siblings.”

Mrs. Li saw that he was afraid of Mrs. Wang, so she laughed a lot, "You are going to sue the old lady in front of her, aren't you?"

"Hey, she's a younger brother and sister after all. Well, let's rest." It's not like Jia Amnesty has lost his heart. He took such good care of his old wife, almost saving her life, so where is the blame?

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you talk more with me today, master?" Mrs. Li almost came back to life, and her mood was different. She thought that she was greedy for the little bit of decency before, and she still lost herself after all. If the body really dies, then what else is there to say?Even if there is caring for relatives and caring for children, it is also empty talk.

It was also a long time since we saw each other, so Jia She stood up and leaned against him, "What do you want to say, bring your bong to refresh me."

"It's better to quit. Smoking and drinking are not good things. I quit them all. Now I can't afford to live in this body." Mrs. Li took out a mint candy from her purse and fed it to him. "This is my brother and sister. Give me some sugar, sir, please taste it."

"Well, why is this smell..." After a while, the coolness came to my heart, and I felt refreshed. Jia She thought that during this period of time, the kitchen, shopping, and warehouse were still under the control of his younger siblings, and there was nothing wrong with that. No, "She is quite ingenious."

"She is the most self-satisfied person." Mrs. Li also thinks Mrs. Wang is good, "Master, now we have three accounting rooms in Rongguo Mansion, the general accounting room, our family's accounting room, and the internal accounting room over there. A sum of money for expenses needs to be dealt with three or four times. Other things are fine, but the monthly payment is too troublesome. In my opinion, it is better to set a date and send money on the eighth or tenth day of each month. Don’t make the housekeeper and grandma worry about it.” I heard from younger siblings that there are still people who take out the money for interest, so they don’t touch their hands, lest one day it’s missing or missing No, I didn't post it in time, it's like the grandma in charge got greedy, and I was stigmatized for nothing.

Jia Amnesty didn't care, "Okay, let's set it on the fifth day of the month, and the money at the beginning of the month is just for them to spend." He knew the money, 40 taels for the old lady, 20 taels for the wives, and 200 taels for Zhuer Lianer. , Yuanchun two liang, his girl is also two liang, aunts are all two liang, the servants are first-class one liang, second-class 10320 liang, third-class [-] renminbi, he and Jia Zheng, [-] liang each, January Come down, Manfu calculated from top to bottom, the monthly payment alone would cost [-] taels.

I don't know, but it was a lot of money.Jia Amnesty put his hands behind his neck, thinking that it would be better to separate the monthly money from his side in the future, otherwise, when the old lady goes away, how can it be calculated?He didn't have to be talked about, which made people feel that he still wanted to take advantage of it.

When the old man was there, he set up a family for him, so he marked out a place beside the Rongxi Hall, built a courtyard with four entrances, opened a black oil gate, and allocated some shops and houses to him, and he took care of the income and expenses. The old man also subsidizes him in private, which has already made him self-reliant.As soon as the old man left, he lost his title. Now that the old lady is here, he can't get separated because of restrictions. In fact, he was separated earlier, and it doesn't matter that his younger brother lives next to the Rongxi Hall.But the old lady relies heavily on his wife, and she is almost in charge of the big and small things in the family, so the monthly money of his family began to come out of the office again.

It's better to get the points, otherwise what he said about being frugal is just a slapstick, he will not be short of this money for a year, "You count all the people on our side, and we will pay the monthly money by ourselves."

Mrs. Li was a little surprised, "Why did you say that suddenly? You don't have to share your identity with the family anymore." It's great that it's all Jia's money anyway.

"You just do what I do."

Everyone has grown up every year, and his younger brother Zhuer is older than his brother Lian, and now that they are married, he has to plan for his children and grandchildren no matter how willing he is... These days in front of the old lady, I can see everything, the old lady The wife also has him in her heart, but the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. If there is an old lady around for a day, the Rongguo Mansion must be handed over to the younger brother to take care of it, and let him occupy it if there is no benefit.

Forget it, just wait for the old lady to go, and he will ask for the rest that should be what he wants.

Jia Zheng led Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu on horseback, accompanied by the land guarantor of Jinling, and ran all over the area around their ancestral tombs. It took more than a month before the transaction of the land was cleared. There are six hectares of fields, and another eight hectares are low-lying and flooded lands.

The rest of the money was used by Jia Zhen to build a righteous house, build a family school, and repair the ancestral home and grave; Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu found people to plant mulberry trees, dig fish ponds, and buy fish fry.

Jia Zhu didn't mind, Jia Zheng had always been honest with him, and he led his colleagues in and out every day.On the other hand, Jia Zhen, a rich man who was used to being indulged by her father, although she was busy with the things at hand, she always thought about how to escape her uncle's supervision and find a place to have a good time.

Seeing Jia Zhen holding her sleeves and always looking outside, Wan'er, who was serving him, said, "Master, the second master is leading Master Zhu to watch the dug fishing pond where fish fry are placed. Old man Jin is watching here, and he It's the old man in the family, it can't be wrong, the boys and I will lead the master to have fun?"

Hearing Wan'er's words, Jia Zhen was moved, "Where is there a good place to go?" He knew in his heart that Ma Jiaoer was not dead at all, so he couldn't mention the real sadness. Since he was an adult, he had never been so sad For a long time, there was a lack of women to have fun. "It's not interesting just listening to music and storytelling."

"I went to ask someone a few days ago. Don't go somewhere where you can't mess around. There is a Shuiyue nunnery outside the city. There are many little nuns in it, but they are beautiful and watery." Not really. "I don't need any gold or silver jewelry, just add some sesame oil and put it in the nunnery, and I can let the Lord choose as he pleases."

When Jia Zhen heard that it was a nunnery, she praised, "Wonderful! You go to the account and withdraw 500 taels, and say it is sesame oil paper money. I will go back to my uncle in a fair and honest way."

On the second day, Jia Zhen dressed up and stood in front of Jia Zheng, "I wanted to burn paper at home to add oil, but sweeping the beams and putting on tiles doesn't look good. I will go to Shuiyue Nunnery to add a stick of incense to her today. Eat a day's fast and come back tomorrow."

Jia Zheng heard that he was reasonable, so he agreed, "Go, take people with you, don't go out to mess around." He called Wan'er and told him, "You are not allowed to let the men mess around, and go clean and burn incense. The Buddha will come back, or else he will expose your skin first!"

Wan'er quickly knelt down and responded, "Don't dare to mess around."

He was really timid when he came out, "Master, otherwise we should not go." If something happens, beatings and scolding will definitely be inevitable, and he will be recorded by the upright and strict Rongfu master. I am afraid that the whole family will suffer. .

Jia Zhen took the whip and lightly whipped it, "What are we afraid of, we're not going anywhere else." He also knew that he had to be careful around this second uncle.

A group of people came to Shuiyue Nunnery in style, but unfortunately, there is also a son in Jinling City, surnamed Qi, today is his birthday, a group of friends come to help out, and playboys come here to have fun, so the gate is tightly closed.Forget it, Jia Zhen whipped Wan'er a few times to vent her anger, and was about to leave in frustration, but she heard some singing and singing, so she stood still, "At the beginning of the play, the tenderness has been secreted. The shadows of the cicadas are moving, and the jade dust is on the back. Turning to the flowers and snow, and hugging the clumps on the bed..." At the end of the song, Jia Zhen knocked on the door a few more times, and there was a pretty white-faced nun She really opened the door and said, "Come here, come here, why are there so many people here again!" Her green robes were not even fastened, and they were so wide that they appeared to have a slender waist.

When she saw Jia Zhen's brocade robe and jade belt, she was born with a gentle appearance, many times better than those inside, and her heart was so weak, she quickly stretched out her hand to pull him, "You are late!"

The beauty is so charming, Jia Zhen's heart suddenly aroused, she held her hand and took it into her arms, "It's too late to meet you!" Then she hugged her and squeezed into Shuiyue Nunnery, Wan'er hurriedly hugged her Following behind, the rest of the servants also followed in, and then closed the courtyard door again.

Jia Zhen tried her best, but the little nun refused to welcome her, and the two quarreled and walked in, but when they really went in, there were several tables of wine and food in the hall, and a group of people were having fun.Seeing Jia Zhen coming in with the little nun in her arms, Mr. Qi, the birthday son, couldn't hold back his smiling face.Just now he fell in love with this little nun Jingyue, who would have expected her to be pushy, but at this moment, Xiaoyi Wencun helped a son in, couldn't he be angry, and slammed the cup in his hand, "Teacher, you are so boring, After taking my money, you still dare to let your little nun find someone else, am I missing yours?"

The nunnery master hurriedly came out to smooth things over. She took the money from Mr. Qi, so she had to turn to Jia Zhen. Seeing that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he was cautious in his words, and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, Mr., did you go to the wrong place?"

"Hmph, everyone knows in their hearts, why bother to act fishy, ​​I want this, just tell me how much you want." Jia Zhen hugged the little nun tighter, looked at Mr. Qi and said.Fighting cocks and running dogs, watching operas and singing, playing with women, he, Uncle Zhen, has never been afraid of anyone.

Wan'er then took out 100 taels of silver bills, and looked straight at the head of the nunnery. The money is touching, and he couldn't help but want to pick it up, but Mr. Qi is not out of temper. Throwing it over, but it was not accurate enough, and it hit Jingyue directly, she groaned, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she just wanted Jia Zhen to be wronged, "My good man, you have to take me out. "

Jia Zhen was so excited that she led Wan'er to fight up, and his servants fought with Mr. Qi's friends, and all of them fell on their backs.That Xu Jing couldn't stop this one, and didn't dare to stop that one, so he jumped in a hurry.

Jingyue just stood aside and sneered, "You can just call him Amitabha." Well played, well played, no matter how it ends, it would be better for this poor nunnery to cause big trouble and kill one of them.

The dining table in the room fell to the ground and ping-pong. Seeing the fight like this, Wan'er was really scared. Taking advantage of the haste, he called Xiaoyao to report to Jia Zheng, and asked him to quickly call all the family members to pick him up.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Uncle Zhen has lost a hair, and we all have to shed our skins!"
