Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant
Chapter 61 Owing Silver
Although the third prince was dedicated to defending himself, he was a decisive person in his heart. He surrounded Zhen's mansion with thunderous means. Except for the few confidantes who escaped, not even one of his servants escaped.The third prince's handling of affairs is different from that of ordinary officials who ransack their homes by order. It is not that the officers and soldiers swarm up, first to draw some oil and water, and then to collect people and things, and register them in the book.
The third prince first sent officers and soldiers to surround Zhen's mansion, and then entered together with the officials from the Ministry of Rites. , and the obtained things are also recorded one by one.After going on like this, more and more evidence of Zhen Jialeilei's crimes was found out.
If the mothers-in-law of the Zhen family brought a large amount of property, how could a bandit enter Beijing without encountering any trouble and find Mrs. Wang to hide the property.It turned out that the third prince didn't want to appear too capable, so he turned a blind eye, only the women of the Zhen family thought they were secretive.
The Zhen family picked up four times in the past and went to the treasury to borrow money to practice the palace. They still owe nearly one million silver and have not returned it. If you have no money, you will blindly indulge in extravagance and lust, but if you have money, you will not return the money you owe.Jing Hedi was so angry that he broke the tea bowl, and Wei Jiugong stepped forward to persuade him for a while, and Jing Hedi felt better.
The third prince knew that he only had one chance, and only when the prince and his father would both lose, would he have a chance to win in the chaos, otherwise he would not even be able to fight against his younger brothers.The sixth prince has a queen empress, and he had hoped the most, but unfortunately he passed away from his illness.It was the fifth prince, because he had the same mother as the eldest princess, and his status was higher than his own, so the third prince had been guarded for six years since the prince was grounded, and now he has no chance to meet him.He is a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, but he did not take advantage of this inspection to hide money from Zhen's family.
Thanks to the honesty of the third prince this time, although Emperor Jinghe was determined to win the Zhen family, so he sent the third prince who was the least suspicious, but there were many officers and soldiers who went to the Zhen family this time. If the third prince is really selfish, I'm afraid it won't benefit him.Therefore, none of the property confiscated by the third prince was kept privately, and all of it was handed over to the household department.
Lin Ruhai was appointed Minister of the Household Department, and the third prince came to hand over the property, and it was a property worth millions of gold, so Lin Ruhai would naturally take over it himself.When the two sides met each other, Lin Ruhai knew that he was a little discouraged when he saw the third prince's expression.I also saw that the Zhen family was greedy and corrupted with all kinds of property, including everything, and even withheld tributes.Because there are too many items, they are counted again and again. Many people took three days to make a book and put it in the warehouse.
When Lin Ruhai came back from the household department, Jia Min was even more worried when he heard that there were tributes intercepted in the Zhen family's belongings. He didn't know if there were any of these items in the dozen or so boxes sent to Jia's house.
Don't talk about the inner house, just talk about the imperial court, Zhen Yingjia's greed and sickness made Emperor Jinghe sick, how dare the Ministry of Criminal Justice relax, Zhen Yingjia and his wife sentenced to beheaded, beheaded at the Meridian Gate to show the public, and the next few cronies in charge have done countless things to bully the village , Excessive profiteering, monopoly of lawsuits, extortion, extortion, and persecution of human life, those who are found guilty are also beheaded.The remaining ones who were imprisoned, sold, and exiled will all be executed according to the heavy law.Even those who did not commit crimes, such as Zhen Baoyu, etc., were convicted of using illegal items, and they were beaten as official slaves, and they were not allowed to buy them.
Jia Min read the mansion newspaper and sighed.In the previous life, the Zhen family was convicted after Emperor Jinghe abdicated. The new emperor at that time showed filial piety, and showed some kindness to the emperor's important officials. field.The punishment of Jinshijing and Di Leiting's methods was much heavier.
It is also because of this that Madam Wang and others in the previous life felt that the saint had more grace for the Zhen family and had nothing to fear, but at this time in this life, everyone in the Jia family knew that the saint was really angry, so they panicked. Madam Wang did many bad things, Madam Wu also knew Some, I have already taken the evidence and reported it to Jiamu. Jiamu didn't care about it because Mrs. Wang was Baoyu's mother. Now it's too late to panic.In addition, Jia's house violated the rules, and if it was said that expenses violated the rules, Jia Baoyu was far worse than Zhen Baoyu, and Erfang was frightened, so he hurriedly changed it.
Not only Jia's family, but some officials in Beijing saw that the saint took violation of the system so seriously, and it was inevitable that someone who took the opportunity to make trouble was busy impeaching him.Therefore, the princes and aristocrats in Beijing checked themselves, and if there was something that was not in compliance with the system, it would not be possible to change it.
Jia Zheng and his wife hurriedly moved out of Rongxi Hall.Seeing you, Tanchun just shook his head, thinking in his heart that it might be too late.Baochai also had an idea. She told Aunt Xue that she ordered people to clean up the Xue family's house overnight and moved in, but it was too late to say goodbye.Xiangyun is most concerned with Baochai's lead. Seeing that Baochai's sister has moved out, she also goes back to Baolinghou's mansion, because she has to do needlework again when she goes back, and she feels very unhappy.
Jia Zheng himself took the carriage and took Baoyu to invite Jia Amnesty to live in the main house.When he was about to get in the car, Baoyu stopped working. It turned out that he had long been accustomed to rich clothes and fine food. He would not eat anything but delicacies from mountains and seas, would not wear anything but silk and satin, and would not ride in a car unless it was a BMW.Baoyu then shouted: "Our family's Cuigaizhuying eight-treasure car is very good. Why should we take this car? Zhou Rui always takes this car when he goes out on weekdays. Could it be that our family doesn't have a good car?" It turned out that Jia Zheng didn't want it. The reason for the violation was that he took a second-car car, which was originally used by Zhou Rui when he went out to run errands.Of course, Zhou Rui is not eligible to take the second-passenger car, and it is also against the system.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he gave Baoyu a hard look and said, "That green-covered and pearl-covered eight-treasure chariot belongs to your grandmother. From then on, no one is allowed to ride in it except her. You don't have any fame. If you want to ride in a chariot, you can only ride it for two years. If you don’t listen, let me know and see if I don’t kill you.”
Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, thinking of how hard he was beaten by his father when Jin Chuan'er died, so he didn't dare to say any more.
When they arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, the porter saw Jia Zheng and his son coming, opened the door to welcome them in, and said with a smile, "Master, why are you free today? I'll go and inform you now." Jia Zheng listened to "Master" two times. The word was stunned again, with a population of hundreds of people in the Hefu, it may be difficult to change it for a while.Just this "Master" and "Grand Master" have been called for decades, if they don't change, being impeached is another piece of criminal evidence, and it must be changed.
When Jia Amnesty heard that Jia Zheng was coming, he didn't know what was going on, so he ordered someone to come in.Seeing that there were only Jia Zheng and his son, Jia Amnesty was not polite, and asked with a smile, "Why is the second younger brother free to come here today? Do you want to have a drink with the eldest brother?"
Jia Zheng listened to the ridicule for a while, and ordered Baoyu to salute again. Fang said to Jia Amnesty, "I have moved out of Rongxi Hall, and I have come to invite my elder brother back to the house. The two gates of the family are open separately, and there is no need for them." It's called people's identity.
Although Jia Amnesty is only good at appreciating calligraphy and painting, and others are mediocre, he also knows that if something good happens, the second room will never be his turn, so he said with a smile: "This matter, the second brother is very difficult for me, you Brother, I have been tidying up the east courtyard for decades. I don’t know how much effort it took to find these plants, trees, bamboo and stones. Do you see how well these flowers and plants grow in the east courtyard? You told me to abandon the east courtyard at this moment, but I don’t want to give up. .If you want to come to drink, you and my brother can have a good drink, but if you ask me to move, it’s not okay. I said, second brother, don’t you see that my yard is good, and you want to make an exchange with me. "
Baoyu laughed and said, "Uncle's yard is really elegant. Every time I see it, I am envious. If my uncle is willing to move, I will ask my ancestors to let me live in the yard. It's just that my uncle is not willing." ...That's right, it takes a lot of thought to tidy up this yard. That big green cloud grows so luxuriantly. If it is transplanted to other places, it will be a big loss, and it won't survive for many years. There is a white tea plant as thick as an arm, even if it has grown in the mountains for a hundred years, it will be difficult to survive even if it is transplanted. It is hard for the uncle to take such good care of him, how can the uncle be willing to move only the exotic flowers in this yard?"
Jia Zheng was very angry when he heard this, and was about to scold him, but Jia She hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Baoyu has eyesight. I spent a lot of time trying to get out of this yard, but no one came to share with me. Baoyu's words today don't know how to win." How many people have passed. Second brother, why don’t you leave Baoyu here today to talk with me for half a day, enjoy half a day’s flowers, and go back after lunch, I wonder if you are willing to do so?”
Jia Zheng originally came to ask Jia Amnesty to move back to the main courtyard, so as not to be impeached for violating the government's regulations. He called Baoyu to show that his father and son came together and meant sincerity.Unexpectedly, Baoyu, ignorant of the world, even talked about flowers and plants with Jia Amnesty.He himself is a man of good character. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and the elder brother only wants to keep Baoyu for a meal, but he doesn't know how to refuse.I had to say in my mouth, that being the case, Baoyu has not thanked his uncle for his love?I said goodbye first.He also warned Baoyu not to make mistakes or be stubborn, but to enjoy it for half a day and have to go home to do homework, etc., and go home by car.
Baoyu nodded hurriedly, but his mind flew to the strange flowers in a yard.
Mrs. Wu heard that someone reported that Jia Zheng was here, so she hurriedly asked people to find out what Jia Zheng was doing here.Hearing that Jia Zheng came to invite Jia She to return to the upper room, Mrs. Wu felt a drum in her heart. She knew that Jia She had long been dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's stealing from the main room. Not only did Jia Amnesty not agree to move back to the main courtyard, but he also left Baoyu to enjoy the flowers. Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was so ugly that he secretly smiled in his heart.
When Jia Mu heard that Jia She didn't want to move back, her complexion sank, and she said to Mrs. Wang: "It's fine if he doesn't want to come back. It's not very illegal for you and your husband to live in the three side rooms on the east side, and you are afraid of it." Where did you come from? Besides, you have moved to the wing now. You lived in the west wing and left the east wing empty. If they don’t want to come back, you can’t blame us. And your warehouse books and keys are handed over to you for now. If you give it to me, I'm afraid the eldest wife won't accept it, if she doesn't accept it, if you take it, it will be unfair to your name after all."
Mrs. Wang was surprised when she heard this, but she finally concealed her inner panic and said yes. In the afternoon, she ordered the key of the ledger and gave it to Jia Mu.
In the evening, when Baoyu came back from the east courtyard, he learned that he had been moved out of the Bisha cabinet and lived with his parents in the west chamber.Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng and wanted to live with his father, but the boss didn't want to.Seeing Baoyu's whole body attire, Jiamu sighed to the attacker: "You work hard. These days, you are rushing to cut clothes for Baoyu with official silk and satin materials, and exchange them all." .” Xiren listened in a low voice and said yes.
Baoyu was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why do you cut clothes properly? You don't have to tire them out. Besides, the materials used by officials are very rough. I'm afraid I'm not used to wearing them."
When Jia Mu heard this, there were tears in her eyes. She didn't expect Baoyu to be in such a state that she was still alive. She took Baoyu into her arms and said, "My son, you should bear with it these few days. I will cut new clothes for you from all the cloth and satin I use."
Although the marquis's family used a lot of materials to wear, they were all saints who cared for the courtiers, and they were rewarded by the palace, so they were decent to wear.Baoyu is only the son of a fifth-rank official, and Jia Zheng has never received any useful rewards. Jia Jiaman said that the master is just a decent maid and deputy lady, and there are quite a few people who wear good clothes, but Zhen Yingjia came directly from Jiangning before her crime. The materials obtained by weaving are not justified, and they are all violations of the system.Baoyu can only wear official materials now.
As for the maidservants in Jia's mansion, they were not allowed to wear silk and satin, and they changed into coarse linen clothes, and everyone complained.
Now Mrs. Wu is ordered by the wife of a first-class general, and she still wears the upper garments bestowed by the saints to go to Jia Mu to ask for an ambush, but Mrs. Wang has changed into official clothes.Zhou Rui's family was accustomed to silk and satin for a long time, but now they changed into commoner clothes, and when they saw Mrs. Wu, they felt a bit of slander in their hearts.
Because of the regulatory relationship in the entire family, except for Jiamu, only the food and clothing of the eldest room is better than that of the second room, which made those servants who flattered Mrs. Wang in front of them very angry. When seeing Jia Amnesty, calling him Master, seeing Jia Zheng wanting to call him Second Master, seeing Mrs. Wu calling him Madam, seeing Mrs. Wang calling him Second Wife, these are also the mistakes of many servants.
Mrs. Wu is fine, you and Mrs. Wang don't spend much time together, so it's not wrong for the servants to call her eldest wife, so there's nothing wrong with it.Jia Amnesty has been pissed off for many years, and when he saw that the whole family had changed the wrong system, he felt elated, and always liked to call Jia Zheng to talk.One of the servants was not calling by mistake, he stared at him with one eye, and the servant had to slap his mouth obediently.At the beginning, Zhou Rui, who was so dignified, flaunted his might, went to Jia Zheng to make a fuss, and he missed it many times.It's all for others, but Zhou Rui made a wrong call, and Jia amnesty will never be followed, so Zhou Rui slapped his mouth several times before he remembered it.
As for the other pampered maids and deputy ladies, it is even more difficult to list them one by one because they are not used to the coarse linen clothes and have rashes on their bodies.It's just funny, Xiren, who is usually the most diligent and busy, is the one who has the most severe rash, and she is not used to it compared to Sanchun sisters.
Sheyue Qiuwen naturally stepped forward to condolences to Xiren, Qingwen watched from the sidelines, curled her mouth, and said nothing, but thought in her heart: arrange this on weekdays, dispatch that, be a needlework and ask others to do it, Lian Xiang Miss Yun was always under her command, but she didn't see anything she made by herself.I didn't expect to raise myself to be so delicate, I really don't touch the spring water with my ten fingers, even wearing a cloth dress can kill half my life.
If it's just that, it's all right. Jia Amnesty went to Jia Mu's room this day and asked for a large sum of money. When Jia Mu saw the amount, it was as huge as 10 taels.Jia's mother asked why she wanted so much silver, and Jia She replied: "The Zhen family is so luxurious in food and clothing, but they owe the Ministry of Households the silver taels and don't pay it back. Our family also owed the silver taels when they took over the car. Why don't you pay it back quickly?" Can't wait to be convicted?
After Jiamu took the ledger and the key to the treasury, she knew that the treasury was getting more and more empty. If she paid back the owed money, she was afraid that she would have nothing in the future. Many people don’t pay back, why are you panicking, I still have a few years to live at my age, why are you forcing me like this?You're driving me to death, what good do you do?
But Jia Amnesty didn't give in, and also had a look of doubt: Where did mother come from?I don't know who is forcing whom?If I don't take over this first-class general, it's fine. I will take over the title, and bear the relationship with the Rongguo Mansion.If there is a question of crime in the future, who will bear the brunt of it?If my mother insists on not accepting the money, I will have no choice but to sell the east courtyard tomorrow and move it to Lian'er's house. I can scrape together as much as I can, and then bring the money to plead guilty. I'm afraid the crime will be lighter than the crime in the future. .
When Jia Mu heard this, she became more and more angry, and scolded Jia Amnesty for being unfilial.
Who knows that Jia She now knows that Jia Lian has a bright future, and Lian's daughter-in-law is pregnant with her own grandson, so she would give up everything.He also replied: Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Now the thieves along the West Sea are invading again. I have been a noble for many years, but I have done nothing for the country. I just want to do my part for the country.Even if my mother said that I was unfilial, I would bear the charge of unfilial piety.If the mother figured it out, felt sorry for her son, and was willing to pay back the money, the son would be grateful, but if the mother was reluctant, the son would just go home and sell it in the East Courtyard.
After hearing this, Jia Mu had to open a warehouse to collect money, but the mansion was really empty, and she owed nearly 50 taels to the household department, but there were no boxes of cash in the warehouse, and the big guys sold gold, silver, copper and tin. But make up 20 to [-] taels.
Jia Amnesty knew that exonerating himself was the second priority, the most important thing was that Jia Lian and his wife's unborn child would not be dragged down.Therefore, without ambiguity, I took out 3 taels of ladders I had saved over the years.Before he came to Jiamu's room to ask for silver, he had already secretly sent thousands of taels of gold he had saved to Jia Lian. Therefore, the door of his small warehouse was opened, and he only kept a box of calligraphy and painting antiques, saying that he would leave them for his children and grandchildren in the future. , the others have indeed been evacuated.
Mother Jia knew that Jia Amnesty had been pushed out to the side courtyard for many years, and she thought that he only gave out [-] to [-] taels, which was the ultimate, but how did she know that he also gave out [-] taels, knowing that he did his best, who can say that he can't do it, it's nothing. There is nothing to say.Mrs. Wu's dowry is thin, and if she wants to collect money, it will either be Jia Mu's wife or Mrs. Wang's dowry on the surface, and there will naturally be money from the Zhen family behind her back.Only the three sums of money Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are not willing to part with.
Mrs. Wang kept the money from Zhen's family in a small treasury, but did not hand it over to Jia Mu. She heard that the whole family would pay back the money, and she felt distressed, thinking that she had a sum in her hand, and the key to the warehouse was in Jia Mu's hand. on, so there is no blocking.Unexpectedly, a large treasury of the Rongguo Mansion was evacuated, and the gold, silver, copper and tin were sold, and Jia Amnesty still took out [-] yuan, which was still half short.Jia Mu originally wanted to leave Baoyu with her tiji and Mrs. Wang's dowry, but no one could say anything. Since so many things were changed in the house, the sage couldn't say anything, so she asked Jia Amnesty to take the silver and go. It is only said that the government is doing its best, and the saint may not blame it.
After hearing this, Jia Amnesty said, "In this case, the son will raise the rest of the money by himself. As long as it is in line with the laws of the country and the family, please let the mother not care about it."Jia Mu thought to herself: If you have the ability to raise money, you don't need to touch the dowry ladder of my second wife and me. Baoyu will still be relied on in the future, so I don't care what you do?So Jia Mu nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Jia She gave a strange look and said, "Since that's the case, thank you mother for making it happen."
Jia Amnesty knew that in Jia's mansion, nothing could be hidden from anyone, so when he returned to the east courtyard, he wrote a post saying that his wife and he were going to visit Lin's house.It turns out that today's matter, he had Mrs. Wu's guidance, and it was planned step by step.
But he said that in Lin's mansion, after all, it was his elder brother and sister-in-law, so Jia Min would naturally not push it away, so Jia She and his wife went to Lin's mansion.If you want to talk about what Jia She is doing, it is because he borrowed someone from the Lin family. Jia She knows that his family's guards are complicated and cannot be trusted if they deceive others.Moreover, most of the servants of Jia's family are facing Jia's mother and the second room, so I couldn't mobilize a few people.
As for what Jia Amnesty borrowed someone to do, it was what Jia Min did more than 20 years ago, that is, borrowed someone to raid the house of the servant, and he was afraid that he would have to pay back the money to the Ministry of Accounts.Jia Min is well aware of the hatefulness of the Lai family and Zhou Rui's family, so it should have been done long ago.In addition, the master has the right to dispose of the things in other people's homes, and it really does not violate national laws and family rules, so he smiled: "Big brother is smart this time, but I don't know if it's the big brother or the big sister-in-law?"He also said that only now that my mother is old, I will make plans with my elder brother when I find a way to settle down with my mother.
So Jia Min posted a message to Jia Mu to pick her up at Lin's residence. Jia Mu was uncomfortable because Jia Amnesty was making a fuss at home. .Jia Min had already cleaned up the house in Wenhuatang for Jia Mu to live in.
Although Jia Min knew that Mother Jia would get angry when she knew the truth, but how hateful are the Lai and Zhou families?I did this for the sake of the Jia family's future regress, so I had to hide it from Jia's mother for the time being.When the time comes to make cooked rice with raw rice, Jia's mother will be helpless even if she is angry.I just hope that my mother can sympathize with my painstaking efforts for Jia's family.
On the other end, Jia Amnesty brought along the guards who were borrowed by the Lin family, and the guards Jia Lian had befriended. Today, Xiumu also came to help, but he did not invite government servants like the Lin family did back then.Because Jia Min knew that although Lai's family and Zhou Rui's family had committed many violations of law and discipline, the Jia family was different from the original Lin family.After hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt that Jia Min's words were reasonable, so he naturally stopped thinking about hiring a servant.
So only Lin's nursing home and Jia Lian's friends surrounded Lai and Zhou's family. The Lai family copied all kinds of money and furniture worth more than 30 yuan, and Zhou Rui's family also had 40 to [-] taels, totaling [-] taels.Now the owed silver is not only repaid, but there is more.
After copying the two families, they sorted out the criminal evidence of the two families and sued them to the Yamen.The yamen saw that the two families had been personally inspected by the master, and without any support, it was natural to make things worse, who would protect them?So those who deserve to be beheaded are naturally unprotected. Nanny Lai, Lai Da, and Zhou Rui are all guilty of beheading. Mrs. Wang was so angry that her arm was cut off, but it was already too late .Only these are things for later.
But he said that Jia Amnesty wrote the notes at home and handed them into the palace.It was Jia Lian's rest day again. Jia She ordered people to load the silver into cars, and Jia Lian escorted it to the household department.After hearing this, Emperor Jinghe ordered Xuan Jia to pardon his father and son to face the saint in the upper study.
Although Jia Amnesty was a first-class general, it was the first time that he got the respect of the face saint, so he was a little nervous. Jia Lian, as the imperial bodyguard, often reported the emperor's grandson's recent situation to Jing Hedi, but he often faced the face saint.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian kneeled down three times and kowtowed nine times, and stood up flat. Emperor Jinghe asked him: How can I remember paying back the money owed at this time?
Jia Amnesty stood up, lowered his hands and said: I have won the grace of the sage to attack a first-class general, but I have never done anything good for the country. When I heard that the barbarians from the West Sea came to invade again, I thought about paying back the money owed to my ancestors. A drop in the bucket, after all, I tried my best.It’s just that I’m stupid and didn’t manage the Rongguo Mansion well. I’m afraid that the mansion spent a lot of money in the past few years. Secondly, I also committed the crime of lax family management. The Weichen raided the homes of two wealthy slaves to make up the money.Now the family got 25 yuan in silver, and the servant's family copied 40 yuan. After returning the silver owed to the ancestors, there was an extra 15 yuan, which should be used as the interest of these years and donated to the national treasury.If I can get rid of the crime of lax family management, I will be grateful.
In fact, if Jia Amnesty had known that the Lai and Zhou families had so many belongings, he would have sold less of the gold, silver, copper, tin and other big guys in the mansion, and he would not have given out his own money.It's just that it's too late to regret now, and I have offended my mother's second wife with all my brains. Even if the 15 yuan is not shipped, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a son in the future, so I might as well bring it together and show it in front of Emperor Jinghe. Face, there may be Jia Lian's benefits in the future.
Jinghe, the king of a country, would not be greedy for his ministers to exchange 15 taels of furniture. He smiled and said, "You can transport the 15 taels back, as I said, you are the head of the family, and the money is up to you."For the sake of your sincerity, I don't blame you for the crime of lax family management.Jia She hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and came out of the palace. This time, he not only paid back the money he owed, but also exchanged 3 taels for 15 taels. No, I can't help but smile on my face.
The author has something to say: finally finished writing.
Well, let me tell you, in the future, I will post it in the afternoon. If I finish writing, I will post it as soon as possible.But it may be difficult to keep at [-] o'clock in the noon, because writing articles at night has become more and more stuck and crying.
The third prince first sent officers and soldiers to surround Zhen's mansion, and then entered together with the officials from the Ministry of Rites. , and the obtained things are also recorded one by one.After going on like this, more and more evidence of Zhen Jialeilei's crimes was found out.
If the mothers-in-law of the Zhen family brought a large amount of property, how could a bandit enter Beijing without encountering any trouble and find Mrs. Wang to hide the property.It turned out that the third prince didn't want to appear too capable, so he turned a blind eye, only the women of the Zhen family thought they were secretive.
The Zhen family picked up four times in the past and went to the treasury to borrow money to practice the palace. They still owe nearly one million silver and have not returned it. If you have no money, you will blindly indulge in extravagance and lust, but if you have money, you will not return the money you owe.Jing Hedi was so angry that he broke the tea bowl, and Wei Jiugong stepped forward to persuade him for a while, and Jing Hedi felt better.
The third prince knew that he only had one chance, and only when the prince and his father would both lose, would he have a chance to win in the chaos, otherwise he would not even be able to fight against his younger brothers.The sixth prince has a queen empress, and he had hoped the most, but unfortunately he passed away from his illness.It was the fifth prince, because he had the same mother as the eldest princess, and his status was higher than his own, so the third prince had been guarded for six years since the prince was grounded, and now he has no chance to meet him.He is a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, but he did not take advantage of this inspection to hide money from Zhen's family.
Thanks to the honesty of the third prince this time, although Emperor Jinghe was determined to win the Zhen family, so he sent the third prince who was the least suspicious, but there were many officers and soldiers who went to the Zhen family this time. If the third prince is really selfish, I'm afraid it won't benefit him.Therefore, none of the property confiscated by the third prince was kept privately, and all of it was handed over to the household department.
Lin Ruhai was appointed Minister of the Household Department, and the third prince came to hand over the property, and it was a property worth millions of gold, so Lin Ruhai would naturally take over it himself.When the two sides met each other, Lin Ruhai knew that he was a little discouraged when he saw the third prince's expression.I also saw that the Zhen family was greedy and corrupted with all kinds of property, including everything, and even withheld tributes.Because there are too many items, they are counted again and again. Many people took three days to make a book and put it in the warehouse.
When Lin Ruhai came back from the household department, Jia Min was even more worried when he heard that there were tributes intercepted in the Zhen family's belongings. He didn't know if there were any of these items in the dozen or so boxes sent to Jia's house.
Don't talk about the inner house, just talk about the imperial court, Zhen Yingjia's greed and sickness made Emperor Jinghe sick, how dare the Ministry of Criminal Justice relax, Zhen Yingjia and his wife sentenced to beheaded, beheaded at the Meridian Gate to show the public, and the next few cronies in charge have done countless things to bully the village , Excessive profiteering, monopoly of lawsuits, extortion, extortion, and persecution of human life, those who are found guilty are also beheaded.The remaining ones who were imprisoned, sold, and exiled will all be executed according to the heavy law.Even those who did not commit crimes, such as Zhen Baoyu, etc., were convicted of using illegal items, and they were beaten as official slaves, and they were not allowed to buy them.
Jia Min read the mansion newspaper and sighed.In the previous life, the Zhen family was convicted after Emperor Jinghe abdicated. The new emperor at that time showed filial piety, and showed some kindness to the emperor's important officials. field.The punishment of Jinshijing and Di Leiting's methods was much heavier.
It is also because of this that Madam Wang and others in the previous life felt that the saint had more grace for the Zhen family and had nothing to fear, but at this time in this life, everyone in the Jia family knew that the saint was really angry, so they panicked. Madam Wang did many bad things, Madam Wu also knew Some, I have already taken the evidence and reported it to Jiamu. Jiamu didn't care about it because Mrs. Wang was Baoyu's mother. Now it's too late to panic.In addition, Jia's house violated the rules, and if it was said that expenses violated the rules, Jia Baoyu was far worse than Zhen Baoyu, and Erfang was frightened, so he hurriedly changed it.
Not only Jia's family, but some officials in Beijing saw that the saint took violation of the system so seriously, and it was inevitable that someone who took the opportunity to make trouble was busy impeaching him.Therefore, the princes and aristocrats in Beijing checked themselves, and if there was something that was not in compliance with the system, it would not be possible to change it.
Jia Zheng and his wife hurriedly moved out of Rongxi Hall.Seeing you, Tanchun just shook his head, thinking in his heart that it might be too late.Baochai also had an idea. She told Aunt Xue that she ordered people to clean up the Xue family's house overnight and moved in, but it was too late to say goodbye.Xiangyun is most concerned with Baochai's lead. Seeing that Baochai's sister has moved out, she also goes back to Baolinghou's mansion, because she has to do needlework again when she goes back, and she feels very unhappy.
Jia Zheng himself took the carriage and took Baoyu to invite Jia Amnesty to live in the main house.When he was about to get in the car, Baoyu stopped working. It turned out that he had long been accustomed to rich clothes and fine food. He would not eat anything but delicacies from mountains and seas, would not wear anything but silk and satin, and would not ride in a car unless it was a BMW.Baoyu then shouted: "Our family's Cuigaizhuying eight-treasure car is very good. Why should we take this car? Zhou Rui always takes this car when he goes out on weekdays. Could it be that our family doesn't have a good car?" It turned out that Jia Zheng didn't want it. The reason for the violation was that he took a second-car car, which was originally used by Zhou Rui when he went out to run errands.Of course, Zhou Rui is not eligible to take the second-passenger car, and it is also against the system.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he gave Baoyu a hard look and said, "That green-covered and pearl-covered eight-treasure chariot belongs to your grandmother. From then on, no one is allowed to ride in it except her. You don't have any fame. If you want to ride in a chariot, you can only ride it for two years. If you don’t listen, let me know and see if I don’t kill you.”
Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, thinking of how hard he was beaten by his father when Jin Chuan'er died, so he didn't dare to say any more.
When they arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, the porter saw Jia Zheng and his son coming, opened the door to welcome them in, and said with a smile, "Master, why are you free today? I'll go and inform you now." Jia Zheng listened to "Master" two times. The word was stunned again, with a population of hundreds of people in the Hefu, it may be difficult to change it for a while.Just this "Master" and "Grand Master" have been called for decades, if they don't change, being impeached is another piece of criminal evidence, and it must be changed.
When Jia Amnesty heard that Jia Zheng was coming, he didn't know what was going on, so he ordered someone to come in.Seeing that there were only Jia Zheng and his son, Jia Amnesty was not polite, and asked with a smile, "Why is the second younger brother free to come here today? Do you want to have a drink with the eldest brother?"
Jia Zheng listened to the ridicule for a while, and ordered Baoyu to salute again. Fang said to Jia Amnesty, "I have moved out of Rongxi Hall, and I have come to invite my elder brother back to the house. The two gates of the family are open separately, and there is no need for them." It's called people's identity.
Although Jia Amnesty is only good at appreciating calligraphy and painting, and others are mediocre, he also knows that if something good happens, the second room will never be his turn, so he said with a smile: "This matter, the second brother is very difficult for me, you Brother, I have been tidying up the east courtyard for decades. I don’t know how much effort it took to find these plants, trees, bamboo and stones. Do you see how well these flowers and plants grow in the east courtyard? You told me to abandon the east courtyard at this moment, but I don’t want to give up. .If you want to come to drink, you and my brother can have a good drink, but if you ask me to move, it’s not okay. I said, second brother, don’t you see that my yard is good, and you want to make an exchange with me. "
Baoyu laughed and said, "Uncle's yard is really elegant. Every time I see it, I am envious. If my uncle is willing to move, I will ask my ancestors to let me live in the yard. It's just that my uncle is not willing." ...That's right, it takes a lot of thought to tidy up this yard. That big green cloud grows so luxuriantly. If it is transplanted to other places, it will be a big loss, and it won't survive for many years. There is a white tea plant as thick as an arm, even if it has grown in the mountains for a hundred years, it will be difficult to survive even if it is transplanted. It is hard for the uncle to take such good care of him, how can the uncle be willing to move only the exotic flowers in this yard?"
Jia Zheng was very angry when he heard this, and was about to scold him, but Jia She hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Baoyu has eyesight. I spent a lot of time trying to get out of this yard, but no one came to share with me. Baoyu's words today don't know how to win." How many people have passed. Second brother, why don’t you leave Baoyu here today to talk with me for half a day, enjoy half a day’s flowers, and go back after lunch, I wonder if you are willing to do so?”
Jia Zheng originally came to ask Jia Amnesty to move back to the main courtyard, so as not to be impeached for violating the government's regulations. He called Baoyu to show that his father and son came together and meant sincerity.Unexpectedly, Baoyu, ignorant of the world, even talked about flowers and plants with Jia Amnesty.He himself is a man of good character. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and the elder brother only wants to keep Baoyu for a meal, but he doesn't know how to refuse.I had to say in my mouth, that being the case, Baoyu has not thanked his uncle for his love?I said goodbye first.He also warned Baoyu not to make mistakes or be stubborn, but to enjoy it for half a day and have to go home to do homework, etc., and go home by car.
Baoyu nodded hurriedly, but his mind flew to the strange flowers in a yard.
Mrs. Wu heard that someone reported that Jia Zheng was here, so she hurriedly asked people to find out what Jia Zheng was doing here.Hearing that Jia Zheng came to invite Jia She to return to the upper room, Mrs. Wu felt a drum in her heart. She knew that Jia She had long been dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's stealing from the main room. Not only did Jia Amnesty not agree to move back to the main courtyard, but he also left Baoyu to enjoy the flowers. Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was so ugly that he secretly smiled in his heart.
When Jia Mu heard that Jia She didn't want to move back, her complexion sank, and she said to Mrs. Wang: "It's fine if he doesn't want to come back. It's not very illegal for you and your husband to live in the three side rooms on the east side, and you are afraid of it." Where did you come from? Besides, you have moved to the wing now. You lived in the west wing and left the east wing empty. If they don’t want to come back, you can’t blame us. And your warehouse books and keys are handed over to you for now. If you give it to me, I'm afraid the eldest wife won't accept it, if she doesn't accept it, if you take it, it will be unfair to your name after all."
Mrs. Wang was surprised when she heard this, but she finally concealed her inner panic and said yes. In the afternoon, she ordered the key of the ledger and gave it to Jia Mu.
In the evening, when Baoyu came back from the east courtyard, he learned that he had been moved out of the Bisha cabinet and lived with his parents in the west chamber.Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng and wanted to live with his father, but the boss didn't want to.Seeing Baoyu's whole body attire, Jiamu sighed to the attacker: "You work hard. These days, you are rushing to cut clothes for Baoyu with official silk and satin materials, and exchange them all." .” Xiren listened in a low voice and said yes.
Baoyu was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why do you cut clothes properly? You don't have to tire them out. Besides, the materials used by officials are very rough. I'm afraid I'm not used to wearing them."
When Jia Mu heard this, there were tears in her eyes. She didn't expect Baoyu to be in such a state that she was still alive. She took Baoyu into her arms and said, "My son, you should bear with it these few days. I will cut new clothes for you from all the cloth and satin I use."
Although the marquis's family used a lot of materials to wear, they were all saints who cared for the courtiers, and they were rewarded by the palace, so they were decent to wear.Baoyu is only the son of a fifth-rank official, and Jia Zheng has never received any useful rewards. Jia Jiaman said that the master is just a decent maid and deputy lady, and there are quite a few people who wear good clothes, but Zhen Yingjia came directly from Jiangning before her crime. The materials obtained by weaving are not justified, and they are all violations of the system.Baoyu can only wear official materials now.
As for the maidservants in Jia's mansion, they were not allowed to wear silk and satin, and they changed into coarse linen clothes, and everyone complained.
Now Mrs. Wu is ordered by the wife of a first-class general, and she still wears the upper garments bestowed by the saints to go to Jia Mu to ask for an ambush, but Mrs. Wang has changed into official clothes.Zhou Rui's family was accustomed to silk and satin for a long time, but now they changed into commoner clothes, and when they saw Mrs. Wu, they felt a bit of slander in their hearts.
Because of the regulatory relationship in the entire family, except for Jiamu, only the food and clothing of the eldest room is better than that of the second room, which made those servants who flattered Mrs. Wang in front of them very angry. When seeing Jia Amnesty, calling him Master, seeing Jia Zheng wanting to call him Second Master, seeing Mrs. Wu calling him Madam, seeing Mrs. Wang calling him Second Wife, these are also the mistakes of many servants.
Mrs. Wu is fine, you and Mrs. Wang don't spend much time together, so it's not wrong for the servants to call her eldest wife, so there's nothing wrong with it.Jia Amnesty has been pissed off for many years, and when he saw that the whole family had changed the wrong system, he felt elated, and always liked to call Jia Zheng to talk.One of the servants was not calling by mistake, he stared at him with one eye, and the servant had to slap his mouth obediently.At the beginning, Zhou Rui, who was so dignified, flaunted his might, went to Jia Zheng to make a fuss, and he missed it many times.It's all for others, but Zhou Rui made a wrong call, and Jia amnesty will never be followed, so Zhou Rui slapped his mouth several times before he remembered it.
As for the other pampered maids and deputy ladies, it is even more difficult to list them one by one because they are not used to the coarse linen clothes and have rashes on their bodies.It's just funny, Xiren, who is usually the most diligent and busy, is the one who has the most severe rash, and she is not used to it compared to Sanchun sisters.
Sheyue Qiuwen naturally stepped forward to condolences to Xiren, Qingwen watched from the sidelines, curled her mouth, and said nothing, but thought in her heart: arrange this on weekdays, dispatch that, be a needlework and ask others to do it, Lian Xiang Miss Yun was always under her command, but she didn't see anything she made by herself.I didn't expect to raise myself to be so delicate, I really don't touch the spring water with my ten fingers, even wearing a cloth dress can kill half my life.
If it's just that, it's all right. Jia Amnesty went to Jia Mu's room this day and asked for a large sum of money. When Jia Mu saw the amount, it was as huge as 10 taels.Jia's mother asked why she wanted so much silver, and Jia She replied: "The Zhen family is so luxurious in food and clothing, but they owe the Ministry of Households the silver taels and don't pay it back. Our family also owed the silver taels when they took over the car. Why don't you pay it back quickly?" Can't wait to be convicted?
After Jiamu took the ledger and the key to the treasury, she knew that the treasury was getting more and more empty. If she paid back the owed money, she was afraid that she would have nothing in the future. Many people don’t pay back, why are you panicking, I still have a few years to live at my age, why are you forcing me like this?You're driving me to death, what good do you do?
But Jia Amnesty didn't give in, and also had a look of doubt: Where did mother come from?I don't know who is forcing whom?If I don't take over this first-class general, it's fine. I will take over the title, and bear the relationship with the Rongguo Mansion.If there is a question of crime in the future, who will bear the brunt of it?If my mother insists on not accepting the money, I will have no choice but to sell the east courtyard tomorrow and move it to Lian'er's house. I can scrape together as much as I can, and then bring the money to plead guilty. I'm afraid the crime will be lighter than the crime in the future. .
When Jia Mu heard this, she became more and more angry, and scolded Jia Amnesty for being unfilial.
Who knows that Jia She now knows that Jia Lian has a bright future, and Lian's daughter-in-law is pregnant with her own grandson, so she would give up everything.He also replied: Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Now the thieves along the West Sea are invading again. I have been a noble for many years, but I have done nothing for the country. I just want to do my part for the country.Even if my mother said that I was unfilial, I would bear the charge of unfilial piety.If the mother figured it out, felt sorry for her son, and was willing to pay back the money, the son would be grateful, but if the mother was reluctant, the son would just go home and sell it in the East Courtyard.
After hearing this, Jia Mu had to open a warehouse to collect money, but the mansion was really empty, and she owed nearly 50 taels to the household department, but there were no boxes of cash in the warehouse, and the big guys sold gold, silver, copper and tin. But make up 20 to [-] taels.
Jia Amnesty knew that exonerating himself was the second priority, the most important thing was that Jia Lian and his wife's unborn child would not be dragged down.Therefore, without ambiguity, I took out 3 taels of ladders I had saved over the years.Before he came to Jiamu's room to ask for silver, he had already secretly sent thousands of taels of gold he had saved to Jia Lian. Therefore, the door of his small warehouse was opened, and he only kept a box of calligraphy and painting antiques, saying that he would leave them for his children and grandchildren in the future. , the others have indeed been evacuated.
Mother Jia knew that Jia Amnesty had been pushed out to the side courtyard for many years, and she thought that he only gave out [-] to [-] taels, which was the ultimate, but how did she know that he also gave out [-] taels, knowing that he did his best, who can say that he can't do it, it's nothing. There is nothing to say.Mrs. Wu's dowry is thin, and if she wants to collect money, it will either be Jia Mu's wife or Mrs. Wang's dowry on the surface, and there will naturally be money from the Zhen family behind her back.Only the three sums of money Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are not willing to part with.
Mrs. Wang kept the money from Zhen's family in a small treasury, but did not hand it over to Jia Mu. She heard that the whole family would pay back the money, and she felt distressed, thinking that she had a sum in her hand, and the key to the warehouse was in Jia Mu's hand. on, so there is no blocking.Unexpectedly, a large treasury of the Rongguo Mansion was evacuated, and the gold, silver, copper and tin were sold, and Jia Amnesty still took out [-] yuan, which was still half short.Jia Mu originally wanted to leave Baoyu with her tiji and Mrs. Wang's dowry, but no one could say anything. Since so many things were changed in the house, the sage couldn't say anything, so she asked Jia Amnesty to take the silver and go. It is only said that the government is doing its best, and the saint may not blame it.
After hearing this, Jia Amnesty said, "In this case, the son will raise the rest of the money by himself. As long as it is in line with the laws of the country and the family, please let the mother not care about it."Jia Mu thought to herself: If you have the ability to raise money, you don't need to touch the dowry ladder of my second wife and me. Baoyu will still be relied on in the future, so I don't care what you do?So Jia Mu nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Jia She gave a strange look and said, "Since that's the case, thank you mother for making it happen."
Jia Amnesty knew that in Jia's mansion, nothing could be hidden from anyone, so when he returned to the east courtyard, he wrote a post saying that his wife and he were going to visit Lin's house.It turns out that today's matter, he had Mrs. Wu's guidance, and it was planned step by step.
But he said that in Lin's mansion, after all, it was his elder brother and sister-in-law, so Jia Min would naturally not push it away, so Jia She and his wife went to Lin's mansion.If you want to talk about what Jia She is doing, it is because he borrowed someone from the Lin family. Jia She knows that his family's guards are complicated and cannot be trusted if they deceive others.Moreover, most of the servants of Jia's family are facing Jia's mother and the second room, so I couldn't mobilize a few people.
As for what Jia Amnesty borrowed someone to do, it was what Jia Min did more than 20 years ago, that is, borrowed someone to raid the house of the servant, and he was afraid that he would have to pay back the money to the Ministry of Accounts.Jia Min is well aware of the hatefulness of the Lai family and Zhou Rui's family, so it should have been done long ago.In addition, the master has the right to dispose of the things in other people's homes, and it really does not violate national laws and family rules, so he smiled: "Big brother is smart this time, but I don't know if it's the big brother or the big sister-in-law?"He also said that only now that my mother is old, I will make plans with my elder brother when I find a way to settle down with my mother.
So Jia Min posted a message to Jia Mu to pick her up at Lin's residence. Jia Mu was uncomfortable because Jia Amnesty was making a fuss at home. .Jia Min had already cleaned up the house in Wenhuatang for Jia Mu to live in.
Although Jia Min knew that Mother Jia would get angry when she knew the truth, but how hateful are the Lai and Zhou families?I did this for the sake of the Jia family's future regress, so I had to hide it from Jia's mother for the time being.When the time comes to make cooked rice with raw rice, Jia's mother will be helpless even if she is angry.I just hope that my mother can sympathize with my painstaking efforts for Jia's family.
On the other end, Jia Amnesty brought along the guards who were borrowed by the Lin family, and the guards Jia Lian had befriended. Today, Xiumu also came to help, but he did not invite government servants like the Lin family did back then.Because Jia Min knew that although Lai's family and Zhou Rui's family had committed many violations of law and discipline, the Jia family was different from the original Lin family.After hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt that Jia Min's words were reasonable, so he naturally stopped thinking about hiring a servant.
So only Lin's nursing home and Jia Lian's friends surrounded Lai and Zhou's family. The Lai family copied all kinds of money and furniture worth more than 30 yuan, and Zhou Rui's family also had 40 to [-] taels, totaling [-] taels.Now the owed silver is not only repaid, but there is more.
After copying the two families, they sorted out the criminal evidence of the two families and sued them to the Yamen.The yamen saw that the two families had been personally inspected by the master, and without any support, it was natural to make things worse, who would protect them?So those who deserve to be beheaded are naturally unprotected. Nanny Lai, Lai Da, and Zhou Rui are all guilty of beheading. Mrs. Wang was so angry that her arm was cut off, but it was already too late .Only these are things for later.
But he said that Jia Amnesty wrote the notes at home and handed them into the palace.It was Jia Lian's rest day again. Jia She ordered people to load the silver into cars, and Jia Lian escorted it to the household department.After hearing this, Emperor Jinghe ordered Xuan Jia to pardon his father and son to face the saint in the upper study.
Although Jia Amnesty was a first-class general, it was the first time that he got the respect of the face saint, so he was a little nervous. Jia Lian, as the imperial bodyguard, often reported the emperor's grandson's recent situation to Jing Hedi, but he often faced the face saint.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian kneeled down three times and kowtowed nine times, and stood up flat. Emperor Jinghe asked him: How can I remember paying back the money owed at this time?
Jia Amnesty stood up, lowered his hands and said: I have won the grace of the sage to attack a first-class general, but I have never done anything good for the country. When I heard that the barbarians from the West Sea came to invade again, I thought about paying back the money owed to my ancestors. A drop in the bucket, after all, I tried my best.It’s just that I’m stupid and didn’t manage the Rongguo Mansion well. I’m afraid that the mansion spent a lot of money in the past few years. Secondly, I also committed the crime of lax family management. The Weichen raided the homes of two wealthy slaves to make up the money.Now the family got 25 yuan in silver, and the servant's family copied 40 yuan. After returning the silver owed to the ancestors, there was an extra 15 yuan, which should be used as the interest of these years and donated to the national treasury.If I can get rid of the crime of lax family management, I will be grateful.
In fact, if Jia Amnesty had known that the Lai and Zhou families had so many belongings, he would have sold less of the gold, silver, copper, tin and other big guys in the mansion, and he would not have given out his own money.It's just that it's too late to regret now, and I have offended my mother's second wife with all my brains. Even if the 15 yuan is not shipped, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a son in the future, so I might as well bring it together and show it in front of Emperor Jinghe. Face, there may be Jia Lian's benefits in the future.
Jinghe, the king of a country, would not be greedy for his ministers to exchange 15 taels of furniture. He smiled and said, "You can transport the 15 taels back, as I said, you are the head of the family, and the money is up to you."For the sake of your sincerity, I don't blame you for the crime of lax family management.Jia She hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and came out of the palace. This time, he not only paid back the money he owed, but also exchanged 3 taels for 15 taels. No, I can't help but smile on my face.
The author has something to say: finally finished writing.
Well, let me tell you, in the future, I will post it in the afternoon. If I finish writing, I will post it as soon as possible.But it may be difficult to keep at [-] o'clock in the noon, because writing articles at night has become more and more stuck and crying.
