Rice Fields in the Red Chamber
Chapter 50
No one noticed that when Jia Lian mentioned Zhen's family, Wang's expression flashed with guilt, and his expression was stern.
Wang said: "There are countless people who owe money in the court. More than [-]% of the officials in the court have borrowed money from the Ministry of Households. Those people have not paid back. Why should we pay it back! No one knows. The reason why the rafters in the early years rot first? There is nothing wrong with Lian'er wanting to earn a respect in front of the saint, but you should also think clearly, other people's families don't pay back the money, but our family will pay it back. In front of you, can our Rongguo Mansion hold our heads up!"
90 taels!A full 90 taels!If Jia Lian hadn't been unfavorable at the beginning and missed such a large amount of Lin family wealth, would she have stretched her hand to the 90 miles!
That's all, what irritates Wang the most is that her concubine in Yuanchun won the honor of visiting her relatives that day, which was a major event for the whole family.In order to build a family-saving villa, when several families joined together, their big house pushed four, six, five, and they just took out 5000 taels deliberately!It is more than this number to send beggars!
The Shengqin Villa almost emptied the public treasury of the Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang's own private treasury was also exhausted. If the 90 taels were not used, where would the famous imperial concubine Shengqin come from?
That's right, the 90 taels was used by her for the construction of the Grand View Garden, and the rest went into Mrs. Wang's own private treasury.Let her spit it out now, how is it possible!
Besides, the 90 taels is not something that his big landlord should get alone. If he takes it out and divides it, the second room can at least get 40 taels!
If you don't keep so much money for yourself, why should you return it to the household department? !
What's more, if she spits out the things that have already been in her pocket, isn't that killing her? !
Except for Jia She and his son of the big house, everyone else in Jia's house agreed with Mrs. Wang's words. No one else would pay back the money, but their family hastily paid it back. How will they gain a foothold among the nobles from now on?
Mother Jia finally decided to observe for two more days.
Jia Amnesty smiled sadly, he knew that when things got into trouble with Jia's mother, it would end up like this, it was time for life and death, and Jia's mother still wanted to let this matter go lightly and hurt him greatly. Fang Zhili, to subsidize the second room, this is really a mother!
However, he was tired.
As the wife of the former Duke, doesn't Mother Jia know that once the sage decides to recover the money owed, none of them who are courtiers can escape?
And as the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, he must bear all the consequences of the decisions made by the Rongguo Mansion!
If he doesn't pay back the money, who knows how he, the head of the Rongguo Mansion, will be dealt with today? !
"Mother, since your old man thinks this matter is not important, and wants to put my wife to death, my son will not say anything."
Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief.She is old and mature, so she could hear the indifference and alienation in the eldest son's tone, she thought to herself, for the sake of the Jia family, she could only wrong the eldest first, and she remembered that there were still a few old ones from the previous dynasty in her private treasury. Fan, hurry up tomorrow, let Yuanyang deliver it to the boss.
However, this time, Jia Amnesty really gave up on her mother.
"Mother, let's break up."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone-shattering shock.
Hearing this, Jia Mu raised her head suddenly, her face full of shock and anger: "Boss! What are you talking about!" Jia Mu felt that her majesty had been provoked.
If it had been before, Jia Amnesty would have been frightened by Jia's mother and knelt down to show her filial piety. However, this time is different from the past.
Jia She didn't even look at the mother in front of him who had been biased for decades, and just said lightly: "Let's separate. Before my father left that day, the two families had already separated. It's just because my mother is still alive, so we separated." It’s just that the mansion is not divided. Later, my mother wanted Yuanchun to have a better name when she entered the palace, and she asked me not to spread the fact that the two families had separated, and even asked my younger siblings to take care of the family. The separation has actually existed in name only. .
It's also because of my mother that I endured all these things. The so-called family and everything will be prosperous, and my son also hopes that everything in the house will be safe.
But this time, we have already reached this stage, and my mother still treats our first wife as nothing, and only cares about his second wife wholeheartedly. Since this is the case, it is the right thing to do to separate the family and the government!My mother doesn't have to use filial piety to pressure me. For the sake of this word of filial piety, how many concessions have I made these years!
Mother doesn't have to worry, the son will naturally fulfill the filial piety that should be done. If you want to stay in the Rongguo Mansion, you will still be the old lady in the mansion when you grow old. In the second brother's house, the son will not object, the filial piety that should be given every month will not be less! "
Mother Jia was so angry that she was speechless. Jia She had been filial to her for decades, why had she ever said such harsh words to her?Still in front of all the juniors!
Doesn't her old man lose face!
Mother Jia shook her hands, pointing at Jia Amnesty, she was at a loss for words.
"you you……"
Jia She ignored her, he already understood that sometimes, if a person always gives in, after a long time, it will be taken for granted, and asking for it will become the norm, and others will not appreciate your patience , On the contrary, he will push forward even more, harming the interests of his own family, but the heart of supporting the second wife is getting bigger and bigger!More and more for granted!
In the early years, he just couldn't see through this point, so he was tightly controlled by the old lady and the second room.
Now, he doesn't want to quit, and he doesn't want to continue to play this kind of motherly kindness and filial piety with them, and he just wants to get back what belongs to him!
"I don't want the 90 taels either. It's just to buy his second room and move out of Rongguo Mansion. For the rest, we can divide it according to how it was divided when the family was divided that day. I only have one request. The second room must move out by tomorrow at the latest. Rongguo Mansion!"
He looked at Jia Mu, "After the second brother moves away, I will invite the adults from the Ministry of Rites to replace the regulations of the Duke's Mansion. After all, I am only a first-class general. The regulations of the Duke's Mansion are indeed Presumptuous. What does mother think?"
Saying that, regardless of Jia's mother and the second room, she pulled Jia Lian and turned around to leave Rongqingtang.
When he stepped out of the Rongqingtang threshold, he turned around and stared at Jia Zheng and Wang Shi, and said, "Whether you take the 90 taels and get out of the Rongguo Mansion, or be thrown out of the mansion, you can decide for yourself!"
After finishing speaking, he left the Rongqing Hall in stride.
After finishing speaking, he left the Rongqing Hall in stride.
Jia Zheng was so angry that his beard rose up, and he pointed at the door where the members of the big house had long since disappeared, unable to utter a word.
Mrs. Wang cried: "Old lady, you have to decide for your daughter-in-law! My daughter-in-law dare not admit to this crime of theft. Uncle is trying to force me to death! If the words just spread out, I am old, but I am old. It's nothing, but how will the empress in the palace deal with herself?!"
"Bah! If I had known today, why bother!" Mother Jia spat on her face, and the more she looked at Wang's unlucky face, the more angry she became.
"Old lady Mingjian, the daughter-in-law is helpless. In order to make our mother look good and save relatives, we have spent a lot of money in the house, and my mother spent a lot of money in the palace. If you don't use the 90 taels It is still unknown whether the Grand View Garden can be repaired."
Mother Jia also knew about this. After all, she has controlled the Rongguo Mansion for decades. How can her foundation be compared to that of Mrs. Wang, a daughter-in-law who has not yet fully grown into a mother-in-law?
Therefore, Jia Amnesty was right in one point. Mother Jia knew about the 90 taels.
It was precisely because of knowing this that Jia Amnesty was so angry after the incident broke out.
"Hmph, even so, you can't use that money!" At least not so quietly!
Although Jia Zheng didn't like the big house, since he was a child, because he took advantage of the eldest son, Jia Amnesty, that dude, didn't have to do anything, and he could easily get things that he couldn't even fight for. How not to hate?
But now, Mrs. Wang made him lose face in front of Da Fang.
Jia Zheng, who always valued his face more than anything else, suddenly became angry and slapped Mrs. Wang's face with his mouth.
"That day, my father warned me that the money was not allowed to be used for other purposes. You also knew it. Look at what you have done!"
No one expected that Jia Zheng, who has always been gentle and refined, would actually beat Mrs. Wang, which stunned Mrs. Wang and everyone else.
Mrs. Wang was so dizzy from the beating that her eyes were full of stars, and it took her a while to recover. At that time, she was trembling with anger.
Who is she doing this for?Jia Zhengming was born in the Rongguo Mansion, but he is only the second son of the direct line. He does not have the title of title, and he is not a student. He can't earn that honor by himself, and he spends money lavishly. If she doesn't look for some extra money from outside To make a living, just relying on Jia Cunzhou's little salary and silver every year, would his family go to the northwest wind? !
Why don't you know where to ask where the money comes from when you spend it!
Withdrawing his hand, Jia Zheng walked up to Jia's mother as if nothing happened, and said with a mournful face: "Mother, look at him, brother, alas! What should I do?"
Jia Zheng has been the master of the Rongguo Mansion for many years, and he has already regarded the Rongguo Mansion as his property, but now Jia She said that he wants to divide the family and divide the mansion, and let their family get out of the Rongguo Mansion and live in those small houses outside. Where is the government willing? !
He knows better than anyone else that Jia Zheng is nothing without the Rongguo Mansion!
Faced with such a situation, Jia Zheng had no choice but to place his hopes on Jia's mother, and only hoped that Jia's mother would support him as before.
Unfortunately, his calculation this time was wrong.
Mother Jia was also annoyed by Mrs. Wang's audacity, because she was partial to her younger son. Although she knew that Mrs. Wang had drawn good things from the public treasury, Mother Jia usually just turned a blind eye. At home, Jia Daishan separated the two households according to the rules of the law.
As Jia Zheng's second son, he can only get [-]% of the ancestral property, sacrifice land, and meritorious service land. In Jia's mother's eyes, it is pitifully small.
If it's something else, Mother Jia can help Mrs. Wang with it.
She shouldn't have used that 90 taels of silver!
People from Ningrong and Rongfu were not the only ones who knew about this incident!
For the sake of that little money, I am afraid that only a woman like Wang Shi will be able to do it by handing over her handle to others.
Thinking about the news that came from Lin Daiyu and Lin Mo, no matter how strong Mother Jia was, she couldn't help shaking a few times.
Squeezing the space between her eyebrows, Mother Jia said tiredly, "Second brother, this time's matter may not be that simple. You and your wife will move to the house in Ping'an Square first, and the children will stay with me until the limelight passes." Yes, it will make sense to move back again.”
The house in Ping'an Fang was the house that Jia Daishan assigned to the second bedroom when the family was separated.
Everyone knew how Jia Zheng was willing to move. Once he moved out of Rongguo Mansion, it would not be so easy to move back.
"Mother—" He wanted to fight again.
But Jia Mu waved her hand, "That's it, I'm tired."
Jia Zheng had no choice but to take Mrs. Wang back to Rongxi Hall.
Mrs. Wang was very disturbed, "Master, are we really going to move out?"
At this time, Jia Zheng hated Wang so much that he refused to show her any good looks, "If it weren't for you, why would things have come to this!"
Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to tell her, he went directly to Aunt Zhao's room, and made Mrs. Wang so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Wang said: "There are countless people who owe money in the court. More than [-]% of the officials in the court have borrowed money from the Ministry of Households. Those people have not paid back. Why should we pay it back! No one knows. The reason why the rafters in the early years rot first? There is nothing wrong with Lian'er wanting to earn a respect in front of the saint, but you should also think clearly, other people's families don't pay back the money, but our family will pay it back.
