Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Unlike Lin Daiyu who lived a peaceful and peaceful life in Suzhou, life in the Jiajia Rongguo Mansion in the capital was not so easy.

It's not other things. It was Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion who was in charge of grain management in Jiangxi, who had the accident. He said that Jia Zheng's official duties were not going well. This year's grain was under the control of the local people. It's time to come over to transport grain, but there is no grain in the warehouse.

If the food could not be delivered, Jia Zheng would still be the main responsibility, but other people could not escape the blame for their negligence, so some people coaxed Jia Zheng to think of another way.

That is to directly find a way to get the local rich and squires in Jiangxi to take the initiative to pay money to buy grain. As long as there is enough grain, the superiors will not care how the people below collect the grain.

Although Jia Zheng didn't quite agree with this proposal at the beginning, but the people who worked for him were really not smart, and they couldn't think of a way to get food back. If people from the court and army returned empty-handed, his official I want to keep it.

It's not that Jia Zheng never thought about buying the grain with his own money first, and taking care of the errand first, but the government only sent him 500 taels of silver this time. What can this little money do?

It is almost enough to meet the daily expenses of myself and the people around me, and I can't spend any extra money to buy a large amount of food. If I buy it with my own money, Jia Zheng estimates that he will spend 4 to [-] taels when he is busy. Silver will do.

With Jia Zheng's lofty personality who couldn't save money, how could he find so much money all of a sudden? As for asking for it at home, he didn't even think about it.

Didn't you see that now my mother even limits her daily flower expenses?Since the mansion was stolen once, the remaining money can't last long at all, even my mother and the others still hope that they can get some money back for them to subsidize and subsidize when they are in office.

Didn't it mean that the magistrate's government was cleared for three years, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver? In the eyes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng is now a local official, backed by the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family. silver?

It's a pity that Jia Zheng has been here for so long, and no one has come to ask for money or offered to give money, which made Jia Zheng almost unable to get out the money that he continued to pay for the oiran downstairs.

Seeing someone gossip like this, wouldn't your heart be moved after thinking about it for a few days?

After waiting for more than ten days to finally send the food delivery team away, it didn't take long for Jia Zheng to be imprisoned, saying that he was an unkind official, oppressed the people, lied to the top and the bottom, and colluded with local officials to commit crimes. Some illegal things and so on.

This time the incident was brought to the present day, and the Holy Order ordered a strict investigation. The officials who came down to investigate were very quick, and quickly found out what Jia Zheng and Jiangxi officials involved in the case had done.

It turns out that Jia Zheng offended a lot of people in Jiangxi when he asked the people below to let the rich and gentry hand out money for no reason. No one in his family has one or two officials or work under the hands of high-ranking officials. relatives.

In particular, some people deliberately played tricks, making those people in Jiangxi think that a princess who came to Jiangxi to pay homage to her relatives was just an ordinary deputy, and let the officials come to her door to blackmail her, angering the princess and the prince and son behind her. This time, she took the initiative to report Among the officials of Jia Zheng and others, there are people from the palace.

Many people in the capital got the news of such a big incident in the court. Unfortunately, seeing that the Rongguo Mansion is losing power, almost no one came to remind the people of the Rongguo Mansion.

If someone from the Jia family was an official in the imperial court, the news would not have been heard by them for so long. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were still offering rewards for Jia Baoyu when Jia Zheng was arrested and imprisoned. news.

When the news of Jia Zheng's dismissal came back, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang thought they had heard it wrong!

All right, why was Jia Zheng suddenly dismissed by the emperor?Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Amnesty and the others hurriedly sent people out to inquire about the news. When they found out that Jia Zheng had made a mistake in his official duties and was intervened in front of the Holy One and angered the Holy One, no one in Jia's house knew about it. How to do it well.

After such a big incident, Jia Amnesty and Li Mo went to Jiamu's place, bad news came one after another, and the situation in the mansion is getting worse and worse!

Mother Jia stomped the crutches in her hand resentfully, and when she mentioned Jia Zheng, she said with a distressed face:

"It must have been the villain who was jealous of Zheng'er's talent and official position, so he deliberately set up a trap. Zheng'er has never seen anyone who dared to treat him like this. Didn't he just step into the pit they designed by accident? Well!"

Mrs. Wang also said with the same hatred on her face:

"Isn't it? The master has been staying in the capital. Where have you seen these methods of stains? Why don't you just stop checking for a while and let someone frame you? I have already written to my brother, and my brother will definitely speak for the master in front of the Holy One." It's a good word, the master will be fine soon."

Hearing that Mrs. Wang said that she had written to Wang Ziteng, Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty were relieved a lot. With Wang Ziteng's ability, he would definitely be able to find a way to get Jia Zheng out. If innocent people were implicated, Jia Zheng might be transferred back to the capital.

Mother Jia asked with concern:

"Didn't it mean that your elder brother received the imperial decree a long time ago, saying that he would be transferred back to the capital to serve as a cabinet scholar? Why haven't you seen them return to the capital for so long?"

Mrs. Wang herself didn't understand what was going on, but in order not to lose face in front of Mother Jia and others, she seemed to know everything about Wang Ziteng's affairs very well, and said:

"Although the Holy Majesty has issued an imperial decree, my elder brother is serving as a feudal official over there, in charge of the monarchy. It doesn't mean that he can let go of it. It may be that he still has some official duties in his hand, which is why it is delayed. Some time. This time, I will send someone to send a letter quickly, and after my brother replies, I will naturally know the exact time of his return."

When Jia Mu and the others thought about it, it was indeed the case. It is possible that Wang Ziteng has such a great official position and is deeply trusted by the Holy Spirit.

Seeing that the people in the mansion looked at her very seriously and expected her natal brother to make decisions for them, Mrs. Wang, who had been in a bad mood all along, was in a much better mood.

It is because of a strong natal family that I can live more comfortably in Jia's mansion. Now even the old woman demands her natal family, which makes Mrs. Wang's waist straighter.

Mother Jia seemed to be convinced by Mrs. Wang's statement, and she nodded understandingly. According to the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, she can only hope that Prince Teng will come back soon. If something happens, there is at least one person who can discuss it.

But thinking of her second son who is still suffering in Jiangxi, Jia's mother felt very distressed for a while. She glanced at the people in the room and said:

"I don't know how Zheng'er is doing now. Who of you will take someone to Jiangxi to see how he is doing? Zheng'er has never suffered much since he was a child. Now even if someone framed him, we can't do it with our Jia family here." Let him guard those villains!"

The people in the room glanced at each other, it was not Li Mo's business anyway, Li Mo estimated that this matter would probably fall on Jia Lian again, but now he and Jia She are the only two in the mansion who can take care of the outside world.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian and said:

"Since no one speaks, Lian'er, go to Jiangxi with Steward Lai. When you get there, you can't be bullied by your second uncle. If there is anything, can't you still go to Mr. Wang? Someone will support you Now, you must not weaken the momentum of our Rongguo Mansion outside, and let those people know that our Rongguorong is not a soft persimmon that everyone can pinch."

In such a remote place in Jiangxi, there is no good king, Jia Lian didn't want to suffer in the past, but when the old lady spoke, he could only hold his nose and respond.

Just glanced at the people around, Jia Lian hesitated and said:

"It's just that Steward Lai and I went there. If others don't give us Jia's face, it doesn't matter. Maybe it's impossible to even meet the second uncle. Does our mansion let people use some money and connections? In Jiangxi Let's clear it up, so that the second uncle can stay more comfortably and we can handle things better?"

Going is a must, but Jia Lian, who can make him less bumpy and live more comfortably, will definitely not let it go. Thinking of his small treasury that has no money now, if possible, he can take advantage of this opportunity to spend more money. It's even better if you grab a little.

Jia Lian was not worried about his second uncle, anyway, with the support of the Wang family and Jia family, his life would not be in danger, and if he was late, his second uncle would only suffer a little later.

It makes sense for Jia Lian to say that. Troubles come out of poor mountains and rivers. If you don’t clear up the relationship, who will know which onion you are when you get there?

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Wang, and asked:

"Who is in charge in Jiangxi? Can you find a way to contact the other party? I don't believe that with the power of the Jia family and Wang family in our capital, the other party will not give face."
