The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

Such a family has the face to say what kind of family they are!Mother Lin remembered that when she first got married to the Jia family, Jia Daishan had no influence on her. After all, although they were in-laws, she mainly faced the Shi family back then.

Shi Shi always has an irrepressible sense of superiority in front of Lin's mother, always emphasizing his family status overtly and secretly, as if his son's marriage to Jia Min means he is superior.Mother Lin just thought that her son would really have to rely on Jia's family in the future, so she had to endure it. Now thinking of what happened at that time, Mother Lin wanted to laugh out loud.

The so-called family status is also related to status, but the problem is, your family does not have a certain level of self-cultivation, can you afford such a family status?It's like a pauper who gets rich all of a sudden, and the smell of a nouveau riche can be seen from ten miles away.

The Jia family is such an upstart. It stands to reason that after a few generations, they should be able to settle down. However, none of the family has become successful.In order to suppress Xijue's eldest son, Jia She was asked to marry a young girl from the Xing family whose parents passed away one by one. , can bend and stretch naturally, and can also run a house.

The problem is that the Xing family was first dazzled by the so-called wealth of the Jia family, and then made deeply inferior by the unabashed eccentricity and contempt of the superiors. I don't want any face for the benefits.

Mother Lin's face was not good-looking, and she almost didn't want to roll with unscrupulous laughter.At this time, she wished that she was still a ghost, and it was Shi Shi who faced all this.

After calming down her mood, Mother Lin scolded: "Don't all of you have eyes? Seeing that your eldest wife is so unseemly, if you haven't helped your eldest wife, don't fall!"

Mother Lin didn't speak very harshly, but Mrs. Xing trembled subconsciously, with a little embarrassing sneer on her face, she quickly said: "Old lady, don't blame your daughter-in-law for being like this, it's really the second master. It’s too deceiving! The second wife did that before, but the old lady is wise and will fill in the gaps in the public. But the second master, the daughter-in-law has to talk! My master, a month That is 50 taels of monthly money. The master has never reached out to the public for nothing. No matter what he wants, he pays for it himself! But the second master, the daughter-in-law looked at the accounts of these years, and the second master didn’t care. It's big or small, public or private, all the money is paid from the account, sometimes, it's easy to pay tens of thousands of taels a month!"

Seeing Lin's mother listening there, Mrs. Xing suddenly gained courage and continued, "My daughter-in-law is not from a famous family. I have never seen so much money when I was at home. At that time, 20 taels of silver was enough for my daughter-in-law's family." It’s been a good year! Now the family only earns a little money every year. The second master earns a few hundred taels today and a few thousand taels tomorrow. If things go on like this, even if there are gold mountains and silver seas in the palace, it’s still not enough. For flowers!"

Xing's words were naturally exaggerated. However, on the account book, Jia Zheng had withdrawn a few times with relatively large amounts. At first glance, it was indeed quite scary. Mother Lin looked at it calmly, and then said: "Boss What the daughter-in-law said is also reasonable, and I will make a rule in the future, no matter whether it is the first master or the second master, how much extra money can be withdrawn for extra expenses every month! If there is any excess, use your own private house!"

Mrs. Xing was a little disappointed, but it was better than not having any accurate words, so she nodded quickly and said, "The old lady is really wise, my daughter-in-law will tell you to go on!"

Mother Lin didn't ask how much she had settled on. Anyway, with Jia Zheng's temperament, I'm afraid he won't be able to save face and go to the accountant to ask for money in the future.

Mrs. Xing walked away triumphantly, and when she turned around, Mother Lin called Jia Zheng over.

Jia Zheng's face was flushed. If he hadn't been born in Rongguo Mansion in his life, he would have been an unlucky old scholar with a higher heart than paper.If Jia Daishan hadn't asked him for an official position on his deathbed, with Jia Zheng's temperament and ability, he might not have stopped at a scholar all his life, and maybe even the fame of a scholar would have to rely on the face of the Jia family to get it.

Jia Zheng probably knew it in his own mind, but he was just hypnotizing himself, so he was extraordinarily good-looking.

Jia Zheng has always shown his disdain for yellow and white things, but he is relentless when it comes to spending money. It is also because the Jia family has never lost money to him, and has never wronged Jia Zheng with money.Back then, the Wang family was the housekeeper, no matter how much Jia Zheng supported, the Wang family was generally happy to see the success. Anyway, this was digging the corners of the public, and taking advantage of being the housekeeper, he could get as much as he could!In the future, my own house will inherit the Rongguo Mansion, but it will be spent in advance.Sometimes even in the name of Jia Zheng, he would go to the accountant to ask for money, and put it into his own private house.

Jia Zheng hadn't realized that his daughter-in-law's housekeeper had so many conveniences before, but now that he has become the big house Xing's, he can't even pay for himself.He didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but he secretly hated Mrs. Wang's insatiable greed, which made the job of housekeeper fall into the hands of Mrs. Xing, who was stingy.

People like Jia Zheng are like this, they like to shirk their responsibilities, anyway, the fault is not mine, it is someone else's.Especially when this happened in front of Mother Lin, Jia Zheng was even more ashamed and indignant.

Mother Lin looked at Jia Zheng's appearance and knew what he was thinking.This kind of person has a cold nature, no wonder Shi Shi prefers him more, the mother and son are indeed in the same line, and they pretend to be five and six, but in fact they are just selfish in nature.

On the surface, Lin's mother sighed: "Zheng'er, you are an official outside now, so it is inevitable that you will have some entertainment. I understand your difficulties, but you also know that your daughter-in-law did such a thing before. This family, so It's reasonable, and we can't let her be, otherwise, the family will be broken up!"

Jia Zheng quickly said: "Mother is right, but Wang's selfishness is too selfish and greedy, which is why this happened. Besides, it is only natural that the elder sister-in-law is in charge of the housework!"

Mother Lin nodded and said, "It's a good thing if you think like this. When you get old, you want your children and grandchildren to live in harmony. Don't make troubles in your house. As the old saying goes, you can't be deaf or blind. Be a family man! I’m getting old too, and it’s always better to have one thing more than one thing less! Your elder brother has always been a fool, and after so many years, he’s become more and more confused. Even the slightest things can make trouble, and it’s all crawling out of my stomach How can I really go to Deng Wengu and tell him that he is disobedient and unfilial?"

Jia Zheng lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Brother is always filial!"

Mother Lin rolled her eyes in her heart, and then sighed: "What kind of filial piety is it? It's fine if you don't get angry with me!"

Soon, Mother Lin turned the topic back and said, "You usually go out to socialize, so naturally you can't lack living money!" Then, she glanced at Yuanyang, who immediately took a box and gave it to Jia Zheng , I heard Mother Lin say: "Here are the land deeds for two shops. You have collected them. If you want any flowers in the future, just go to the shop to collect them!"

Jia Zheng quickly shied away and said, "How can a son want the mother's private house, let the mother keep it for herself!"

Mother Lin smiled and said, "At my age, there is no place to spend money. After all, the things I have on hand are all yours! That's fine, why are you being polite to me!"

Jia Zheng shied away again and again before accepting the box, and after thanking Mother Lin, Mother Lin said: "Okay, you go back first, Baoyu will come to say hello in a while, and when he sees you, he will be punished by you again." Bluff it!"

Jia Zheng's face darkened, and when he thought of Jia Baoyu, he was short of breath again. In the end, he said goodbye to Lin's mother without saying anything, and then left.

One of the shops that Mother Lin gave to Jia Zheng was a grain shop, and the other was a pawn shop. Naturally, the grain shop made a steady stream of money, and the pawn shop could produce a lot of products in a year as long as the shopkeeper was careful. out.It can be said that the pawn shop is the main business, and the grain shop is just a starting point.

However, Lin's mother naturally didn't have the kindness to give Jia Zheng a chicken that can only lay eggs, so that he will have a better life in the future.

After reaping the benefits, Jia Zheng naturally calmed down and stopped paying the cashier. However, the family all vaguely said that Mother Lin took money from her private house to subsidize Jia Zheng. Of course, Xing and Jia She were a little upset. However, the old lady's private house can be given to whomever she likes, just like Mrs. Rong Guo's wife, isn't all the private house given to Jia Amnesty at the end of her life?Thinking about it this way, Jia Amnesty was naturally in balance, but Xing's family kept thinking about it and cursed secretly.

Lin's mother didn't say anything about it anyway, she still followed her usual living habits, how should she continue!

Jia Zheng didn't know anything about business. After he took over the shop given by Lin's mother, he was pushed by the people below, and soon he inserted his own people into the pawn shop of the grain store to be the manager and shopkeeper. Don't want Lin's mother to intervene, and it didn't take long before something went wrong.

Not to mention the grain store, because this was originally Shi’s dowry. There were several Zhuangzi in the Shi’s dowry, and most of the rent collected every year was not money, but grain. , except that some of them are stored according to the usual practice, the others are directly sent to the grain store to be sold at the market price. They have always had a good reputation and business.

Lin's mother only gave Jia Zheng the grain store, but not his shop. However, there are many fields in the public house, and there is also a lot of grain every year. It is the same to sell to anyone. Jia Zheng directly asked someone to discuss with the Xing family. That's it.

As a result, the people under Jia Zheng felt that the money was coming too slowly. Anyway, they mixed the rice flour with sand, faced the water, and even directly exchanged the old grain from the original warehouse with the official warehouse for old grain or even Moldy food can be sold out after processing, which will naturally make a lot of money.

Then the problem came. Some people ate mildewed rice and broke their stomachs. They almost died.

Jia Zheng had never encountered such a thing. After knowing that the grain shop actually sold moldy rice, everyone was dumbfounded. Those servants argued that they were also deceived and didn't know it was moldy rice, so he believed it. In the end, I had to pay a large sum of money and pay it to others, and then said that I was not allowed to exchange old grain with the official warehouse in the future.

Those who dared to buy and sell the grain from the official warehouse were not good at it, and after a lot of tossing around, the grain store almost couldn't continue to operate.

Jia Zheng couldn't reason with those subordinates, after all, they just disgusted you, and you still couldn't catch it, so you reported to Shuntian Mansion, and there was no way to be sure, so in the end, you had to admit that you were unlucky and sell the grain store. Handed it over to someone else.
