Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Jia was sitting on the kang, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were sitting next to each other, and the surroundings were quiet for a while. Mrs. Wang couldn't help breaking the silence and said:

"Old Ancestor, you said that we have already spent so much money on the construction of the Provincial Hospital, and it seems that the follow-up money will not be able to keep up, what should we do?"

Jia Mu leaned on the pillow, closed her eyes, and stroked the patterns on the kang table with one hand. She couldn't think of any solution for a while, so she could only say: "This is indeed a problem, so what do you mean?"

When Wang Xifeng heard that it was about money, she also knew that it was because Jia Lian was not good at handling things that made her ancestors and aunt so embarrassed. As Jia Lian's wife, Wang Xifeng suddenly felt a little guilty.

At this time, as the wife who is the culprit, it is better to keep your mouth shut and listen quietly, otherwise it will be bad if you will provoke the wrath of your ancestors and aunt later.

Just listen to Mrs. Wang say:

"The money needed for the construction of the provincial hospital, no matter what, needs two or three million silver, in addition to the more than 300 taels of silver we collected earlier.

The remaining vacancy of more than 200 million taels of silver must be filled, otherwise the construction of the provincial hospital will be suspended, and everyone who looks at our Jia family will see our Jia family jokes.

With such a useless natal family who has become the laughing stock of the capital, the empresses in the palace will also be ridiculed by others and rejected by the Holy One.

There is no hope of recovery at all!

Given the current situation in our mansion, this consequence is beyond what our Rongguo Mansion can bear. "

Wang Xifeng listened to her aunt's analysis so reasonable, sat beside her and nodded along, and also looked at Jia Mu to see what she thought of it.

Mother Jia also knew that the project of building the Provincial Courtyard must not be stopped now, but the money was indeed a problem.

Could it be that several people in the mansion are required to collect money once, but even if everyone is asked to collect money again, it is still not enough to fill the vacancy of the 200 million taels of silver!

Unable to think of a good solution, Mother Jia couldn't help being annoyed and said:

"I asked you to explain, not to tell me these nonsense, so many young people of you have already become parents, why do you have to find me, an old woman, to find a solution when there is a problem? Should it be that you need to find a way to deal with it?"

Mrs. Wang was scolded by Mother Jia, she immediately lowered her head and her face became distorted for a moment. This dead old woman knew how to sit on her head and act as a domineering person, and used herself as a punching bag when there was a problem. It was really abominable!

But he had to quickly find a way to solve this important matter. This was something Erfang could count on for so many years, and it must not end as a joke.

As for asking Jia Zheng to find a way... Mrs. Wang probably didn't even think about it. With Jia Zheng's pious appearance, she knows what to say all day long about the character of a scholar.

As soon as something happened, it would be blamed on him. It was all his own fault. He was ignorant and innocent. Mrs. Wang had already seen through him, and if she expected him, she might as well think of something quickly!

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Wang carefully suggested:

"I don't think I can lend us much from my relatives. I wonder if we can get together in the house so that the project can continue to be built. We will figure out a way for the rest of the money. What do you think of this old ancestor?" What's your idea?"

Mother Jia thought the same thing just now, but she wouldn't say that again, otherwise, wouldn't she want to make other people hate her, which is a sinner's job, and it's enough to do it once, but she can't do it again.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang took the initiative to say so, she pretended to think about it, and then said:

"Now it seems that we can only do this first, but this time Zhen'er and the other members of the Jia family will not give us another share of money, it can only be done by our mansion first, or we can get together with them later. Other close relatives have borrowed some more!"

After saying this sentence, Mother Jia took a look at Mrs. Wang. This family who is close to Mrs. Wang and has money, doesn't it mean Mrs. Wang's younger sister--Xue's family!

Mrs. Wang also knew that among the people she knew, the Xue family, who was now attached to her as the imperial merchant, had the most money. It seemed that she really wanted to find an opportunity to dig out more money from her younger sister.

Thinking of this, didn't my sister always want Xue Baochai to marry her Baoyu? The old lady always wanted Lin Daiyu to marry her Baoyu.

He has been holding on to Baoyu's marriage, and by taking this opportunity, he can let Baochai, a daughter-in-law with a large dowry, choose to marry him with Baoyu!

Now Lin Daiyu finally left, and Shi Xiangyun came again. The old lady is really confused, just like Shi Xiangyun, that yellow-haired girl who is bluffing.

She is another orphan girl living under the fence, worse than the previous Lin Daiyu!He actually wanted her to marry his own Baoyu, so she deserved it!Mrs. Wang said with hatred in her heart.

Or the Baochai I like is in line with the appearance of my chosen wife. She is round, healthy, and stable and generous in doing things. It is the best candidate to marry and help me take care of Baoyu.

When the time comes to marry, Baochai will be able to bring a large dowry with her, so she doesn't have to worry about running out of money for her precious jade.I can also hand over the errands of the housekeeper of the Jia family to her, and I just need to wait for the blessings!

If Baoyu is not satisfied with Baochai at that time, he can give Baoyu several beautiful concubines. As long as Baoyu's body is not damaged, he can do whatever else he likes!

As for that incompetent Xue family who knew all day long that he was causing trouble, Xue Da fool, doesn't he still have something in his hands!The case of beating someone to death has not yet been closed-it was suppressed by the joint efforts of the Jia family and the Wang family, and the government did not dare to come and arrest that idiot Xue!

As soon as Baoyu and Xue Baochai get married, as long as someone reveals the news a little bit, according to the crime of the big fool Xue-either sent to serve in the frontier, or sentenced to death!

At that time, the Xue family's so much silver and family property will not all belong to his precious jade!

Mrs. Wang was calculating in her heart, and after thinking so much, it took only a blink of an eye. After hearing what Jia Mu said, Mrs. Wang woke up and said:

"What the old ancestor said is that there is only so much to do now! It's just that this matter still requires the help of the old ancestor, otherwise I'm afraid that uncle may not agree to it!"

Mother Jia thought of her eldest son who was getting more and more helpless, didn't she?If he hadn't suppressed him last time, he might not have given up a tael of silver.

Just like his daughter-in-law, she obviously has so much money in her hand, and she looks so stingy -- she is not willing to contribute to the house.It's really good not to learn, but bad to learn quickly.

But this time, Mother Jia didn't dare to make a promise. She could suppress Jia She once, but she couldn't guarantee that she could suppress him a second time. According to his unscrupulous temperament, it would be ugly if there was a quarrel!

In order not to lose face, Jia's mother said cautiously: "I can't guarantee this, you should tell Xie'er yourself when the time comes! When my son is old, he won't listen to me, an old woman, for everything!"

Mrs. Wang had no other choice, knowing that she was the only one in the mansion who would devote herself to the construction of the provincial hospital. Who would let this concern the face and future of the Empress and Erfang Jia's mansion? What if she didn't do her best!

He could only agree and said: "Okay, when the time comes, the daughter-in-law will tell the uncle, for the sake of our entire Jia family, I don't believe that the uncle will not agree. It is the glory of our entire Jia family to be able to come back to visit our relatives!"

After Madam Wang finished speaking, Mother Jia nodded and stopped talking.

Mrs. Wang turned her head and glanced at Wang Xifeng, thinking of Jia Lian, the chief culprit who made her so embarrassed now, she couldn't help but said to Wang Xifeng:

"At that time, Feng girl, you and Lian'er should come here together, the consequences of Lian'er's accident this time are really too serious, it's impossible to miss a major event in the house!

Last time, I saw that you young couple hadn't separated yet and didn't have much money, so you don't want to pay any money, but this time it was all because of Lian'er's carelessness that caused such serious consequences.

Let us have to collect money again, if you two don't share, it will be unreasonable, don't you think, girl Feng? "

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Mu who was above her, who seemed to have no objection to her aunt's statement, and knew that this matter was indeed wrong on her side, so she could only bite the bullet and say:

"This is what it should be. Auntie, don't worry, we will do our best to make up for it. Don't blame the second master anymore. It's not that you don't know his temperament, and he certainly didn't do it on purpose!"

It wasn't intentional that it caused such serious consequences. If it was intentional, it would be fine. Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng angrily, and said helplessly:

"Lian'er, as a daughter-in-law, you don't care too much about Lian'er's temperament. If this trouble breaks into our Jia's house in the future, I'll see what you will do!"

Hearing what her aunt said, Wang Xifeng could only smile wryly. It's not like she didn't care about it, but what's the use of it!
