An old lady's life

Yu Qiu was very conscientious, and officially started teaching Jia Hu the next day.The yard where the class is held is not far from the Fangcaoyuan where Yu Qiu lives, which greatly avoids the chance of Yu Qiu, an adult man, colliding with the young female family members for no reason.Although there is a little troublemaker Jia Zhu, the teacher-student relationship between Yu Qiu and Jia Hu has gradually improved. In a few days, Jia Hu, a student, has adapted to the daily routine of going to and after class, and Yu Qiu has also adapted to teaching in addition to teaching. , better take care of your own studies.

The Rong Mansion's collection of books is open to Yu Qiu, and Yu Qiu likes it the most. Except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, he never leaves the books.

Among them, Jia Zheng also gained something, and unknowingly, he and Yu Qiu got in touch. The next autumn test for the two of them was in September of the 21st year of Changping. At that time, Jia Zheng had just graduated from the filial piety. Tian Jiazheng had to wait another three years.I don't know if the date of Jia Daishan's death was bad, or just a coincidence?

In February, the spring breeze is like scissors. This is a fine day with fine weather. The flowers in the yard are brightly blooming, the grass and trees are green, and it is a scene full of spring.

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu are following Yu Qiu to attend class earnestly, when suddenly there is noise outside, from far to near, from near to far, Jia Hu concentrates on reciting the article, Yu Qiu, as an outsider, is just a gentleman in the house, any incidents in the house Things have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have so much curiosity, just concentrate on doing his own thing.

But these two have self-control, Jia Zhu does not, this kid has always been enthusiastic for 3 minutes, of course, Jia Zhu has learned a lot of words during this period of time, Yu Qiu is quite happy to see that Jia Zhu is smart, It doesn't restrain him.

In the past, when Jia Zhu ran outside, Jia Hu and Yu Qiu didn't care about him, but last night Jia She told Jia Hu to take good care of his brother this morning and not let him run out of the classroom.

"Pearl, come back, or my brother will hit your palm with Mr.'s ruler."

Yu Qiu couldn't help laughing, his ruler was just for show, Jia Hu, a student, was very worry-free, and he didn't need a ruler.

Jia Hu pushed his younger brother to sit beside him and continued to recite the article. After another half an hour, the sound of Jia Hu reciting the article sounded in the classroom.

However, in the front hall of the meeting, all the servants of the Rong Mansion gathered together, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and looked at each other, wondering what the old lady and the elder master and the second master were doing to invite everyone here.

Hongye, Jia Amnesty, and Wang are here, Zhang is not allowed to come because of her pregnancy, and Jia Zheng will come later.

The servants were all whispering to each other. Years ago, the old lady summoned everyone in the same way, and then rewarded many people. Is there still a reward today?

Of course, the servants guessed wrong. At this time, Jia Zhengzheng led Lao Zhou and other loyal servants to ransack the house, one by one from the ranking on the list, according to the address of the family, from far to near.

In this way, everyone waited in the front yard for about half an hour. Lao Zhou and others brought in a lot of boxes one after another.

The servants were extremely curious, and all stretched their necks to watch, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything.

After another while, Jia Zheng, Lao Zhou and others all came back, and Jia Amnesty immediately ordered Lao Zhou and others to bring in the stewards who had been imprisoned before.

A group of people waited for this to realize that something was wrong. The servants who were not in the mansion were also in contact with each other in order to know what was going on in the mansion. These people don't know anyone.

Jia Amnesty glanced at the dark crowd with great momentum, and found that there were only a few masters in the house, and there were more than 800 servants serving them. It was really not necessary to use so many people, no wonder there were so many people who only took money and did not work.

First clean up the servants who are pocketing their own money, this is what Jia She hates the most.

All of a sudden there were begging for mercy and weeping in the courtyard, everyone was crying miserably, but Jia She was determined to deal with these unruly slaves.

The old god Hongye was there and did not interfere with what Jia She and his brothers were doing. She just showed her face to support her son, and ignored those who cried out to her for mercy.

Long ago, she had given them a chance, but unfortunately they still took chances and didn't know how to repent.

The act of cleaning up the moths lasted all morning. Among them, Jia's mother and Jia's original servants were the most, but Zhang's and Wang's companions were not implicated.

Mrs. Zhang is a responsible person, and she is the head wife of the Rong Mansion, but the people in the mansion are deeply intertwined, and her companion cannot get in.

The Wang family has never touched the power of the family in the Rong Mansion, and the companion is only limited to work in the west courtyard, such as the big kitchen and the shopping place, and he is not involved, so he was lucky to escape.

Among Jia's mother's accompanying rooms, the biggest moth in the Red Mansion, Mammy Lai's family, was able to escape this time because of their caution. Mentioned throat.

This clean-up operation has been successfully resolved. There were originally more than 800 people in the house, but now they are cut down, leaving only a hundred people, that is, only a dozen or so people. Everyone has something to do. People who don't work for money.

Jia Amnesty looked at the people left in the yard and was very satisfied, "Okay, listen to me. Since you have stayed, it means that I will not pursue the past. Now go down and do things well, otherwise those who are today Those who are sold will end up with you. In a few days, the government will re-issue a management regulation, which will be implemented in accordance with the regulations. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don’t do well, you will naturally be punished."

Feeling relieved, the remaining servants hurriedly left the front hall, fearing that they would be caught by the master if they walked too slowly, and the whole yard would be empty in a short while.

The property obtained by ransacking the house is a windfall. Jia She was thinking about how to distribute the money, Hong Ye said slowly: "Boss, second."

The two brothers looked at their mother together, with doubts in their eyes.

"What's the matter, mother? Please order!"

Hongye raised her eyebrows: "I remember Rongfu still owes foreign debts! That's a lot of money!"

Jia Amnesty didn't even think about it, "Impossible!"

Jia Zheng also looked at his mother, how could Rongfu owe money?Recently, the family business has been rectified, and the two of them have read all the accounting books of the Rong Mansion. Although they don't say they know everything by heart, they are not so likely that they will not forget their debts.

This time the front hall was quiet, so Mrs. Zhang came here with the help of her maid, and seeing so many boxes in the hall, even though she knew it beforehand, she was still surprised to see it with her own eyes.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help wondering whether the Zhang family also had such a tricky slave, and she should write a letter to her mother.

When she walked into the front hall, she happened to see Jia She and Jia Zheng listening to her mother-in-law, and the three of them were whispering.

Hong Ye just said: "Boss, find a time to go to the household department and find out how much silver taels our Rongfu owes to the treasury. The second child should also know that this is a debt left by the ancestors and has not been repaid, but the IOU was written by the ancestors himself. signature, and the great seal of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Zheng was stunned, Jia She blinked, especially Jia She, looking at the boxes in the hall, his eyes were full of grievances, what the hell, I have worked so hard for so long, but I can't get a single piece, I will give it all to the emperor His old man earned it.

Jia Zheng didn't have such rebellious thoughts as Jia Amnesty, but he was thinking that if he really owed money to the state treasury, he must try his best to repay it.He suddenly thought of Dafeng from his own home, the emperor is the head of this family, and they are just like the servants who have just been cleared, the reason is the same, if these servants owe him money, he will be virtuous , and will also try to get back.

Seeing this, Hongye couldn't help gloating in her misfortune, and said, "Our family is not the only one that owes money to the treasury. You two brothers should discuss it carefully. When will you pay it back? Is it because you don't want to pay it back and leave it to Huer?"

"By the way, the Ning Mansion also has debts. You can discuss it with your uncle and cousin, and let me know if there is a result." After Hongye said this, she just patted her ass and left.Back at Rongxi Hall, Fei Cui and Liu Li came out to welcome them. The family of these two maids' godmothers had already been sold out of the Rong Mansion.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other, then silently glanced at the boxes in the front hall, and the two of them went back to the yard with their wives at the same time.

Mrs. Wang followed Jia Zheng, and the couple were almost at the west courtyard, when Mrs. Wang asked weakly, "Master, is there really a debt owed by the treasury?"

Jia Zheng stopped, took a look at Wang, and sighed: "Mother won't shoot at you indiscriminately, I'm afraid there are still a lot of debts, this debt must be paid, otherwise it will be the responsibility of Hu'er and Zhu'er in the future. Leaving such a problem to my son, I find myself ashamed to die."

Fortunately, Hongye is not here, otherwise Hongye would complain. Jia Zheng's words are too correct. Although the Rongguo Mansion made its fortune by borrowing money from the treasury, it obviously didn't pay back when it developed, and the responsibility fell on the children and grandchildren. Is there glory on the faces of the two Rong Guogongs who returned to the underworld?

Wang's face immediately turned pale, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw it was outside, she didn't say anything. It wasn't until she returned to the courtyard that Wang approached Jia Zheng and whispered, "Anyway, we are the second room, and the state treasury owes..."

Jia Zheng stared at Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's expression suddenly became embarrassing. Jia Zheng said angrily, "You are a typical person who can only enjoy happiness and not share suffering. Whoever you change, whether it is relatives or friends, will be cold to you. Take care of yourself." Think about it, do you want Zhu'er to betray everyone in the future, so that no one dares to get close to him?"

Although Wang's expression seemed to be educated, but Jia Zheng knew that she was not overwhelmed, so he sighed immediately, there is a long way to go!

In the east courtyard, Jia Amnesty was crying to Mrs. Zhang, "Jingshu, why am I so miserable, I'm so exhausted, I can't even get a penny."

Mrs. Zhang already knew the cause and effect. She doesn't value money. Anyway, the Jia family will not be short of food and clothing, nor will they be short of the children's education. Isn't this all right?

Moreover, the mother-in-law specifically brought it up, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.

"Okay, okay, or do you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and wait for Hu'er to pay back later?"

Jia Amnesty immediately shut up and gritted his teeth: "No, if I leave my son in such a mess, I will have no face even if I become a god after death."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and couldn't help snickering. Isn't this mocking her grandfather or father-in-law for not doing what a father should do?He also left a large debt to his son!
