The Double Soul of Red Mansions

When Baoyu and Jia Lian returned to Jiamu's room, everyone present was a little dumbfounded.Even Jia Mu herself wondered whether the maids and women around her had also secretly saved up the Wanjia household.But Wang Xifeng has even more Xiaojiujiu in his heart. For Ping'er, whom he has always trusted, Wang Xifeng, like Jia Mu, has different thoughts.The most excited people in the room were Jia Baoyu and the housekeeper who had already had a decent visit to Tanchun.

"Old Ancestor, our mansion must be strict and orderly. It is the greatest miracle in ancient and modern times if this slave is in this position. If the news of our mansion gets out, it must not be laughed at." Jia Baoyu's reputation on Jia's mansion Very sad, he is studying abroad now, and he has heard a lot of gossip, and he has communicated with Tanchun in private, but the two of them did not expect that after the turmoil of the previous period, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

As he spoke, he glanced excitedly at the woman who had turned into a puddle of mud and said, "Once such a slave is found out, it will be handed over to the government for investigation. We dare not use such a slave in our house."

"Take it down." Mother Jia waved her hand, and several women outside came in and threw the people on the ground out, and this woman was quickly sent to the government.As for those scholars, the Jia family also returned the money they bribed, and each of them also compensated an additional 100 taels of silver.Now that I got the money, although I still don't want to be reconciled, the emaciated camels in Jia's mansion are bigger than horses. After all, it's the Duke's mansion, and these people don't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Feng girl and everyone else go back, Tan girl comes with me." Mother Jia shouted to everyone except Tanchun, a little tired.When Wang Xifeng saw Mother Jia leading Tanchun into the inner room again, her face turned pale.Thinking that the power in his hands might be weakened, Wang Xifeng finally found it difficult to accept, so he was so angry that he fainted.

Jia's mother was inside the house, and she didn't even raise her eyes when she heard the crowd outside.Seeing this, Tanchun didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Think I'm too strict with your second sister-in-law?" Jia Mu looked at Tanchun and said, seeing that her thoughts had been broken by Jia Mu, she nodded slightly and said, "Old ancestor, since I am the housekeeper, the second sister-in-law is still Taught me a lot. This matter has also been investigated, even if the second sister-in-law is guilty of lax housekeeping, she is innocent after all."

"Innocent?" Mother Jia said with a sarcastic smile, "You silly boy, you still have too much to learn."

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize what Jiamu meant. After a long time, Tanchun said: "I wrote it down, and I will learn from my ancestors in the future."

"Good boy." Mother Jia said kindly, stroking Tanchun's head, "Now you manage this huge mansion well. From now on, you continue to manage it, and if you don't understand, just ask. Remember, the more powerful you are, the more powerful you are. The greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility. You must not learn from your second sister-in-law. If something goes wrong in our house, my ancestor, I will not be as easy to talk to as I am today. "

Jia's mother seemed gentle, but she was actually beating Tanchun. Tanchun was a girl with a clear mind, obedient and listening, and Tanchun knew what Jia's mother meant.She obediently stepped forward to support Jia Mu and said, "Grandpa, with you watching, I won't make a mistake. I'm a junior. If there's anything wrong, I just need to correct me."

"Good boy." Satisfied with Tanchun's knowledgeable mother Jia, she pulled Tanchun to sit down and said, "During this time, put aside the things you are doing first, and clean up our house. Remember, don't be too However, everything can be done in moderation. This degree must be grasped, understand?"

Tanchun nodded and said, "I have it all in mind, old ancestor."

.......

Compared with the self-deception of Jia Fu and others, Lin Hai in Lin Fu is much more direct.In the morning of the next day, Lin Hai published the booklet. The general content is that the former emperor was kind, and many of the great families owed money to the treasury to live. However, under the current rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the salaries of officials have also increased.It has been a long time, and the soldiers at the border are still fighting bloody battles.He offered to return the money.And Lin Hai's ancestors also followed suit and borrowed a sum of 20 taels of silver, and Lin Hai brought it into the morning court the next day along with the booklet and several sealed boxes.

This move set off a thousand waves in the court.The current Holy Majesty has been thinking about the return of the debt owed to the national treasury for a long time.Lin Hai made his wish come true by doing this, and the sage really appreciates Lin Hai more and more.As everyone knows, Lin Hai is just trying to torment the Jia family.Before he did these things, he had already used his position to check the arrears of the household department. Among them, the arrears of the Jia family were as high as more than 160 million taels. He bleeds hard.

Lin Hai's thoughts are not that complicated, all the Jia Mansion is for money.Since they were willing to make a small fuss, he might as well give a big gift in return.Originally, Lin Hai didn't intend to do such a terrible thing, but after his incident happened, the Jia family appeased the scum among the students and gave them an "excuse", but he who had damaged his reputation was forgotten .Lin Hai's bottom line has been repeatedly trampled on by Jia's face.

"If you have no objection, the Ministry of Household Affairs will start confiscating it within a period of three months." Today is a clean and neat person, and this will bring everyone back to their senses from the golden gold that was brought up from Lin Hai. Come on, this matter is now given.

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and belatedly found out that I and others were played by the saints and Lin Hai again.As for the habit of Lin Hai being the face of the Holy Majesty in everything nowadays, the adults said that it is still difficult to get used to it.

Invisibly, Lin Hai's upright and upright act of pitting Jia's mansion was crowned with the Holy Majesty's will.Even Jia Yuanchun, who was pregnant with Liujia in the palace, couldn't say anything about these things.It has to be said that Lin Hai, an old fox, had already learned how to protect himself when he fought against the Holy Spirit.

Lin Hai's trick is really beautiful.But when the imperial decree came down, people from Jia's mansion came to visit in person, but Lin Hai avoided seeing him to avoid suspicion.For this, the people in Jia's mansion were very itchy.Jia Yuanchun, who was in the palace, also received a letter from his family. Regarding the repayment of the arrears, Jia Yuanchun also began to rely on his favor to repeatedly explore the tone of the emperor.

"Aifei means that the Jia family will take the lead in repaying the debt?" Who is the Holy Majesty? After this incident, I will give you a favor."

grace?Jia Yuanchun thought about what it would be, but he said: "My lord, this family really intends to pay back the debt. It's just that the amount is too large for a while, so it's not easy to pay it back all at once."

"I gave a time limit, three months is enough. You know, it's getting colder and colder, and the soldiers at the border can't wait." The Holy Majesty smiled and said with his arms around Jia Yuanchun, "There are still five or six months left. You are about to give birth. When you give birth to the prince safely, plus this credit, I will seal this matter for you, but no one can say anything."

Regarding this empty promise, His Majesty played very well.In this way, he has said to every pregnant woman in the harem, he is not worried about any problems when it is realized, as long as he is happy, it will be no problem to seal ten or eight.The matter in the harem is just that, and the Holy One handles it like a duck to water.

How could Jia Yuanchun be able to sit still after receiving the promise from the Holy Majesty, so he asked the eunuch beside him to go there in the evening, analyzed the pros and cons of this matter, and then told Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu.When the two heard that there was a possibility to go further, they felt less conflicted about repaying the debt.

It's just that it's really difficult for Jia's mansion to come up with such a large sum of money.

Mother Jia invited all the masters to Rongxi Hall that day.Seeing that the elder Jia Amnesty and the second eldest Jia Zheng and their family were all there, he said: "The lady in the palace has sent a letter. We should take the lead in repaying the money owed to the treasury when the Duke was still there. .”

"Mother, this is 160 million taels of silver. How can we pay it back with just a word? We don't have any in the big house." Jia Amnesty didn't wait for Jia's mother to finish speaking, and said directly, "Back then we paid the money back. Dafang didn’t see us either, so you can’t think of us until you pay it back.”

Jia She has long complained about Jia Mu's preference for the second wife.At this time, Jia Mu would say a flower, and Jia Amnesty didn't plan to take out a copper coin.With Jia Amnesty's attitude, Mrs. Xing would not take the initiative to bring up the matter of taking money, she just sat on the chair and ignored it.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that our second house used the money borrowed back then?" Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty and said, "Half of the money back then was used to build the mansion, and now brother You also live in this house, how can you say such things."

"Why, you are pestering me, aren't you?" Jia Amnesty stood up and looked at Jia Zheng, then at Jia Mu and said, "Mother, if the second brother said that, then I have to talk about it. As for the matter of attacking the noble, I should have lived in the main hall. But now? Because of my mother's partiality, my second brother and the whole family moved in, did I say anything?"

"Presumptuous, I'm still alive, what do you want to do as a big brother!" Jia Mu slapped her hand on the table fiercely and said, "Sit down, no one can get away with this matter. Let me say first, I will take the lead from my Curry took out 10 taels, and an antique worth 10 taels, all of which were taken out."

Jia's mother is smart, the antique calligraphy and painting were copied from the house of the servants in the mansion, and what she took out was only the 10 taels of silver bills.

Jia Amnesty made up his mind that he would not take the money, no matter what Jia's mother said, he would not back down, "I can't give a penny. If my mother is in a hurry, I suggest separating the family." He wants to separate the family, but no matter how he sees it, his mother can't get the share that should belong to him, so Jia She would rather divide the family.It's too easy to be manipulated by the second room.

"You bastard." Mother Jia threw the teacup towards Jia Amnesty angrily, but the distance was still a bit far away, and the teacup shattered before reaching Jia Amnesty, but some tea still splashed onto Jia Amnesty body.
