An old lady's life

Jia Amnesty is a man of action, and decided to go to the household department after the lunch break. Mrs. Zhang listened to his thoughts, and specially reminded: "Master, you have to ask uncle to go with you."

Jia Zheng might not think too much about it, but Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang have been sisters-in-law for several years, and she knows how much Mrs. Wang values ​​money. With Mr. Jia's participation, Mrs. Wang will not make excuses and make irresponsible remarks.Otherwise, if the amount is too large, Wang will definitely question whether the amount has been falsely reported.

Jia Amnesty didn't object either, and nodded, "Of course, my mother ordered me and my second brother to participate in the important events of the family." Paying back the money is also a major event, just like reorganizing the family business, it is a major event of the entire family.

When Jia Amnesty came to the West Courtyard, Jia Zheng was reading in the study, and he was notified by the servant, and Jia Zheng came out.

"Brother, do you want to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Jia Zheng was well-dressed and obviously prepared.Acting together with his eldest brother in Jinling, Jia Zheng seems to know his elder brother better than he did in the past 20 years. He knows that his eldest brother is quick-tempered.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "Of course, go to the household department first, and then go to Ningfu."

Turning around, the two brothers left together, Jia Zhu shouted loudly from behind: "Daddy!"

Jia Zheng had no choice but to stop. Since his mother specifically mentioned the child's education, Jia Zheng is almost responsive to his son's requests. Of course, Jia Zhu has no other requests now. Run, want to walk out of Rong Mansion with Uncle Daddy.

Now that Jia Zhu's calves are strong and he runs fast, Jia Zheng soon felt that he was being hugged by his thigh again.

"Daddy, I want to be together."

Jia Zheng lowered his head and frowned: "Nonsense, father and uncle are out to do business, not to play."

But Jia She picked up Jia Zhu, "Pearl didn't go to class with brother?" He said to Jia Zheng, "Forget it, it's not urgent anyway, Zhu'er can go if she wants."

When Jia Zhu heard what her uncle said, she immediately burst into laughter, and kissed her uncle on the face, not caring about her father's dark face.

Jia Amnesty was very happy in his heart. Although the relationship with his younger brother had eased now, he would always be happy to see his younger brother suffer, so he immediately walked ahead with Jia Zhu in his arms.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to follow behind silently. After taking a few steps, he glanced at the servants who were following behind, "Go and report to your wife, I'll take Pearl out."

Naturally, the servants would not refuse, and when Mrs. Wang found out, they had already left the Rong Mansion.

When he got into the carriage, Jia Zhu sat obediently, fearing that his father would repent. It was not until the carriage moved forward that he regained his vivacity. He climbed onto his father's lap automatically, then lifted the curtain and looked outside. He was very restless and moved around. There is a sound on the mouth.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to hold his son tightly and pat his little butt, "Don't move around."

Jia She likes a lively child like Jia Zhu very much in his heart. Jia Hu has been obedient and obedient since he was born. At that time, his heart was very distressed. I hope he gets better. Even if he is going to Jiewa, he is very happy , at least the child is healthy.

Of course, Jia Amnesty's wish will come true soon. Will this second child cause him a headache to death?

During this period of time, the street was very lively, with countless pedestrians, shops, and hawkers yelling constantly. A cluster of candied haws trees passed by the carriage. Jia Zhu's eyes lit up, and she pointed at the candied haws and said loudly, "Danged haws!"

The peddler's ears were sharp, and he immediately returned, "Young master, do you want a bunch?"

The carriage moved slowly in the downtown area, and the peddler could keep up with the speed of the carriage. Jia Zhu looked longingly at Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was speechless, and took two cents from his sleeve.

"Come here." Handing the money to the peddler, the peddler immediately burst into laughter: "That's great!"

Jia Zhu took the candied haws with a smile, bit one, and muttered, "Daddy, can I have another bunch?"

Jia Zheng shook his head: "No, did your mother tell you not to eat too much sugar? Otherwise it will be bad for your teeth."

Thought he could still sell a bunch, the peddler muttered to himself, watched the carriage leave with a smile, and then continued to sell.

Jia Zhu also pouted when she heard this, but she didn't contradict her father any more.

While talking, the carriage quickly arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Housing and told the coachman to wait outside. The two brothers went to the Ministry of Housing. Jia She walked in front, and Jia Zheng walked behind with his son in his arms.

The officials in the yamen are very busy, and no one is a heartthrob. The emperor can't let the whole world know, let alone a small unknown soldier.

As for men holding children, there is a saying in the world that holds grandchildren but not children, but no one stipulates that I cannot hold sons. Even if these adults seldom hold children, it does not mean that they have never held them.

When he came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Jia Amnesty went directly to Mr. He, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. The Secretary of the Ministry of Accounting was quite surprised why Jia She came to the Ministry of Accounting, but Jia Amnesty did not beat around the bush, and quickly explained his purpose of coming.

The treasury was short of money at any time, it was just a question of how much, when someone came to send money, Mr. He was calm on the face, but he was very excited in his heart, and immediately ordered his subordinates to look for the account book.

Mr. He and Jia Amnesty dealt with each other, "Why did Mr. Jia suddenly think of paying back the money owed to the treasury?"

Jia She scratched his head: "Actually, I didn't know that the Rong Mansion still owed money to the treasury. I heard my mother mention it today, so I wanted to know how much I owed, so that I could arrange a plan for repaying the money."

Who knows how much money is owed, naturally it is impossible to repay it all at once, no matter how stupid Jia She is, he knows this truth.

Jia Zheng hugged his son as the background board, and watched his elder brother chat happily with the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Jia Zheng thought to himself, if the elder brother can really be an official, he is actually quite suitable for him. Even if he doesn't see him, he doesn't understand, but he can flicker.

The subordinate ordered by the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting quickly found the account book, opened a page of the account book, and there was a note attached to it. The Minister of the Ministry of Accounting read it first, and was immediately shocked by the number on the IOU.

100 million taels, with the great seal of Rongguo Mansion and the signature of the first Rongguo Duke, this cannot be faked.

The subordinate pushed the account book in front of Jia She, and Jia She watched it carefully, not letting go of a single word, blinked, and immediately cursed in his heart, the power of 100 million taels of Herong Mansion could still be paid back, but what happened next? Everyone wants to eat bran pharynx.

His complexion darkened for a moment, and he pushed the account book in front of Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng patted his son, told him not to make trouble, and read it carefully. Jia Zheng suddenly thought, the amount is huge, and he can return all the wealth of the Rong Mansion if he sells it. However, it is obviously impossible to live at home, so what should I do?

Jia Amnesty brought over the account book again, "May I ask if there is any debt in Ningguo Mansion?"

Master He stroked his beard, and his subordinates turned a page, which was about Ning Mansion, "Young Master Jia, Second Young Master, this is from Ning Guo Mansion."

Jia Amnesty immediately turned the account book to face him. After a while, he gasped. The Ning Mansion owed 120 million taels of silver. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he calmly pushed it in front of Jia Zheng.

After Jia Zheng saw that his family owed money, he was already mentally prepared. At least the Ning family owed no more than 200 million in silver, otherwise he would suspect that the grandfather of the Ning family slept on the bank notes all day long.

Mr. He had admired the expressions of the two brothers of the Jia family enough, and felt a little moved in his heart. The sons of Jia Daishan really did not have the ability to be slaughtered by officials, but after getting in touch with them, they found that their character was not bad. It means that the next generation is also incapable. This child stays by his father's side, is not noisy, and has flexible eyes. At first glance, he is a smart child, and Rongfu can be regarded as a successor.

The two brothers Jia Amnesty got up and bowed to Lord He, "Thank you Lord He today, after our brothers and mother discuss it, we will arrange a repayment plan as soon as possible."

Mr. He smiled: "OK."

Leaving the household department, the two brothers walked all the way in silence. After boarding the carriage, they looked at each other speechlessly again. Jia Zhu was not troubled. You only get rich with money.”

After saying this, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng suspiciously, "Second brother, don't you run away?"

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Amnesty quietly, and said with some black lines: "In the heart of the eldest brother, is this the kind of person I am? Can only share joys and sorrows?"

Jia Amnesty immediately waved his hands awkwardly, "It's the heart of a villain."

Jia Amnesty pinched Jia Zhu's cheek, and teased him, "Zhu'er, if you pay back the money, your father will have no money, and he will have no money to buy candied haws for you in the future."

Jia Zhu slapped the uncle's hand and made a face at the uncle, "Uncle is a villain!" As for what Jia Amnesty said later, can a two-year-old child be expected to understand?

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng exchanged enthusiastically, this time to rectify the family business, they got 50 unexpected property from the servants, and Rongfu's public account has [-] taels, so calculated in this way, it is far from the debt. It's halfway, what should I do?Do you really want to sell your property cheaply?

The carriage returned to Rongning Avenue, Jia Amnesty directly ordered the coachman to stop in front of the Ning Mansion gate, Jia Zhu was familiar with this environment, ran up the steps with short legs and knocked on the door.

The concierge opened a door, and when he saw Jia Zhu, his face was full of smiles, and then he saw the two masters of the Rong Mansion behind him. Jia She asked, "Are your old masters awake now?"

The concierge shook his head, nodded again, and saw that the two masters were in a bad mood, "Elder Master, the second master just came in, and this old servant doesn't know if the old master is awake, so let someone ask right away."

It would be around Shen time in the afternoon, Jia Daihua was awake, Jia Zhen was serving in front of him, the servant hurried over, and after confirming the inquiry, he ran back to inform the porter.

Jia Daihua was very surprised that the two nephews came at this time. He had just heard the news from his grandson about the news in the Rong Mansion in the morning. Woolen cloth.

"Nephew met uncle, uncle looks good today?" In urgent matters, first of all, he followed the etiquette.

Jia Zheng patted Jia Zhu, "Pearl, please greet my uncle."

Jia Zhu giggled, and after saluting her uncle, she immediately pestered Jia Zhen. He remembered Jia Zhen.

Soon the two brothers informed them of their intentions, Jia Daihua looked a little dazed, and suddenly said angrily: "I knew about the debt, but I just forgot."

"What do you think now? While Ning Manor still has some savings, I will arrange to repay the debt one after another."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also nodded, and one of them said: "My second brother and I just checked the IOU at the household department. The Ning Mansion owes 120 million taels of silver, and the Rong Mansion owes 100 million taels of silver."

"My eldest brother and I went back to discuss with my mother. The money must be paid back."

Jia Daihua nodded, but with a sigh: "We are not the only two who owe money to the national treasury. Officials, big and small, in Beijing all owe money. Some officials are still borrowing money from the national treasury. This is because the emperor is sympathetic to the ministers. However, the minister seems to have no fear, only borrowing but not repaying, sooner or later the emperor will liquidate it."

The Jia She brothers have a deep understanding of this matter, and they hate the rich and greedy servants in the mansion the most. Thinking about it differently, even if the emperor doesn't count now, there will be a day, but at that time there will be no room for change.

"Forget it, I didn't want to be the target of public criticism before, so I didn't pay back the money. Recently, because of illness, I spend more time falling asleep and less awake time every day. I completely forgot about it. Thanks to my nephew for reminding me."

After leaving the Ning Mansion, Jia She and his brothers returned to their home and entered the house. Jia Zheng put Jia Zhu on the ground. The child was very satisfied. After getting off the ground, he waved to his uncle and father and ran on the ground. I went to find my brother.
