The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 53 Handle
When Nanny Pan entered Lai's house, she still burned the paper for Nanny Lai, and after the burning was over, she took the things from the place Nanny Lai said.

But Nanny Pan was very depressed after taking it out, it was hidden under the bed in the room where Nanny Lai slept.

There is a loose brick under the bed that can be taken out.

So Jia She and the others didn't find anything when they ransacked the house. Nanny Pan thought that it must be something valuable if it was so well hidden, but she didn't expect to take out an account book.

Although Nanny Pan was illiterate, thinking that Nanny Lai hid it so tightly, it must be something unusual.

She quietly took the account book back, and asked her little grandson who had learned to read to help read it.

The little grandson didn't recognize them all, but just the few he knew made Grandma Pan terrified.

Aunt Pan had an impression of several things recorded in it. She had served Jia Mu for so many years, and she had also seen Jia Mu's dowry.

I thought those things were given to Jia Mu by Jia Daishan, but I didn't expect that they were all recorded in the account book.

Mother Pan didn't dare to let her little grandson recognize her anymore, and told her little grandson not to speak out.

Originally, Nanny Pan wanted to destroy the account book, but then she didn't know what to think, so she kept the account book.

When something happened to her son and Mother Jia refused to help, Mammy Pan simply handed over the account book to Hou Sulan in order to save her son.

When Hou Sulan received the account book, she was surprised and happy, but she is not a person who collects things and does nothing.

But Nanny Pan's son was greedy a lot, if he was let go, fearing that others would follow suit, Hou Sulan simply thought of an idea.

On the surface, she sold Nanny Pan's son, but in fact she gave the Pan family a sum of money and sent their whole family away.

Then Hou Sulan took the account book and quietly went to chat with Jia's mother. From then on, Jia's mother became honest and never troubled Hou Sulan again.

The main reason is that what Mother Jia did was too outrageous. If this matter is exposed, neither the Jia family nor the Shi family will spare her.

For the Jia family, she didn't regard the Jia family as her own, but actually secretly filled the private treasury with property from the public office. You must know that a woman would steal whenever she was born.

Although Jia Daishan died and she had two sons, Jia Jing, as the head of the Jia family, could make the decision to let Jia's mother go to the Buddhist temple to retire, and the money had to be withdrawn.

As for the historians, if word of what Mother Jia did was known, no girl in the future of the historians would be able to marry.

Who is willing to marry a person who secretly moved the family money into the dowry? She is not afraid that she will vacate the house!
So no matter how much Mother Jia hated Hou Sulan, she wouldn't dare to trouble her if she had something in her hands.

When Jia She heard Sulan say these things, she was stunned. In the original book, Jia's mother had so much dowry. Jia She wondered why later historians were so poor.

Even young ladies like Shi Xiangyun have to embroider by themselves at night. They thought it was because the Shi family failed to live up to their expectations and ruined the family, but they didn't expect Jiamu's dowry to be stolen.

Thinking that these things would be cheaper for a second house in the future, Jia She glared and wanted to go find Jia Mu to make a fuss.

Hou Sulan hurriedly stopped him, this matter should not be publicized, Jia Mu is Jia She's biological mother no matter what, if this matter is publicized, Jia Mu will not please Jia Mu, but Jia She's reputation will not be much better.

After being persuaded by Hou Sulan for a long time, Jia Amnesty gave up on going to Jiamu to settle the score. Anyway, Hou Sulan said that most of the things were sold off and Jiamu returned them.

When Jia Amnesty heard that the thing came back, he didn't bother to bother Jia Mu. He looked at Hou Sulan. Although she said it lightly, Jia Amnesty knew that she had spent a lot of effort to suppress Jia Mu so that she would not hold her back.

Thinking of the gift he brought to Hou Sulan, he hurriedly asked someone to bring it over.

When Hou Sulan opened it, she was shocked. It turned out to be a human head wrapped in resin, which looked like a piece of amber.

Jia She didn't realize that Hou Sulan was frightened and was still proudly promoting that this was Mang Gurtai's head.

Jia She originally wanted to send someone to send Hou Sulan back, but Guangning City was surrounded at that time and it was impossible to send him back.

In order to save the head, Jia Amnesty remembered a movie he had seen in his previous life, and found resin to cover the head.

When Guangning City was relieved of the siege, Jia Amnesty was busy with other matters and forgot about it for a while.

I still have to go back to the capital, but when I was checking things, I found this head, Jia Amnesty was going back to the capital anyway, so he brought it back along the way.

Hou Sulan was frightened at first, but when Jia She said that it was the head of Mang Gurtai, he became excited.

"Master, are you serious, is this really the thief's head?" Seeing that Hou Sulan was so excited, Jia She felt that it would be worthwhile to travel all the way to bring this broken head back.

Hou Sulan was really excited, and after confirming with Jia Amnesty several times, her emotions collapsed.

She first slammed the man's head to the ground, then stepped on it hard, and finally gave Jia She a solemn salute with tears in her eyes.

Originally, Hou Sulan was not very confident that Jia She would help her avenge her, but she was always going to marry, and Jia She was quite suitable for her.

She put forward this condition only to test Jia She, but after Jia She's performance in Liaodong came back, she became more confident, thinking that Jia She would one day help her avenge herself.

Although Li Guogong made a request for credit, it mainly mentioned that Jia She had captured the two princes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

As for Mang Gurtai, he is a small person in comparison, and Duke Li didn't mention him at all, so Marquis Heng An didn't know that Jia She had avenged his elder brother.

Now that Jia Amnesty came back, Hou Sulan knew that Jia Amnesty had fulfilled their agreement.

Hou Sulan decided in her heart that she would do her best to help Jia She take care of the backyard in the future. Seeing Hou Sulan so moved, Jia She quickly comforted her.

"Ma'am, why should you be so indifferent, you and I are one, and it is my duty to avenge my father-in-law."

Hou Sulan sorted out her mood, and told Jia She that she wanted to visit her family's grave to worship.

Of course Jia Amnesty would not stop such a trivial matter, he just ordered to go down and get things ready, and he personally escorted Hou Sulan there.

The Hou family is different from the Jia family. The Hou family's ancestral home is in the capital, and their family's ancestral grave is not far from the outskirts of Beijing.

After Jia Amnesty and the others got ready, they arrived in less than an hour, and Hou Sulan was crying on the grave with her heart broken.

It was Jia She who finally persuaded him. Hou Sulan asked Jia She to help burn the head directly in front of the grave.

After everything was finished, Hou Sulan seemed to have put down a big rock, and felt much more relaxed. When she returned to Rongguo Mansion, Hou Sulan had recovered as before, and she was still discussing the treat with Jia She.

This time when Jia Amnesty came back from meritorious service, of course he had to entertain relatives and friends. In the future, Jia Amnesty would be an official in the capital, so he also needed to keep in touch with relatives, friends and old friends.

Jia Amnesty was impatient with these trivial matters, so he just left it to Hou Sulan to arrange.

The emperor was in a hurry to urge Jia She to return to Beijing, but he was not in a hurry when Jia She really returned to Beijing.

The emperor gave Jia She a half-month leave, during which Jia She stayed at home and lived happily every day.

Jia's mother had been waiting for Jia She to take the initiative to see her, but after waiting for three days, Jia She still didn't come. If it turned out, she would have publicized Jia She's unfilial piety.

But now that Hou Sulan was holding her back, Mother Jia didn't dare to take the initiative to find fault, but she did have something to ask Jia Amnesty, so she had to ask someone to call Jia Amnesty over.

Jia She also went. We would see her sooner or later anyway, so we couldn't hide from Jia Mu all the time.

When Jia Mu saw Jia She, she was still habitually sarcasm, "It's really amazing that you are a Marquis now, you don't even look down on me as a mother. After coming back for so long, I still need to take the initiative to find someone to call you here." .”

Jia She raised his eyebrows and said carelessly, "Mother is blaming me wrongly. When I came back from the battlefield, my whole body was full of evil spirits. I was afraid of offending my mother, and it was all for the good of my mother."

Jia's mother gritted her teeth angrily at Jia She's attitude, but now it's not what it used to be, now that she's being held accountable, and Jia She is in a high position, she can't play with him anymore.

But thinking of Jia Zheng, Jia's mother still had the cheek to say, "You are promising now, but your brother's life is difficult. As the eldest brother, you can't watch your brother suffer! You should help him no matter what. !"

Jia Amnesty has already been mentioned by Hou Sulan, Jia Zheng and his wife are really wonderful.

When the family was separated, the husband and wife took advantage of it and shared a lot of property, but Jia Zheng was used to spending money lavishly.

Even though they separated, they still bought some calligraphy and paintings from time to time as before. Although Mrs. Wang drove away those cleanups, she couldn't control Jia Zheng's shopping.

After all, Mrs. Wang is a woman, and she can't follow Jia Zheng when he goes out every day. Whatever Jia Zheng likes outside, he will be brought directly to him.

Although Wang is stingy, she has a good face and doesn't want people to underestimate her. Even if she is very reluctant, she will still pay the bill.

But Mrs. Wang would make a fuss with Jia Zheng afterward. At first, Mrs. Wang never stopped Jia Zheng from buying anything.

But now that the family has been separated, and Jia Zheng has nothing to offer, seeing that the family can only go in and out day by day, Wang is very anxious.

Jia Zheng still spends money like this, Wang is of course dissatisfied, in her eyes, the money is to be left to her son, if Jia Zheng uses it like this, how much will be left to Jia Zhu in the future.

So the husband and wife quarreled every few days. Jia Zheng didn't like Wang at first, thinking that she didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, and she was dull and boring.

After a few more quarrels like this, Jia Zheng didn't want to see Mrs. Wang even more, and went to the rooms of several concubines all day long.

The Wang family hated it even more, and tried to torment Jia Zheng's concubines every day, making them cry to Jia Zheng all day long.

Jia Zheng was really annoyed. At this time, his good colleagues invited him to drink and even invited singing girls to cheer him up.

The laws of Dazhou stipulate that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

These singing prostitutes are all under the name of women from good families, and are raised by those old bustards as their daughters, saying that they are just for singing.

In fact, generally no one takes it seriously, saying that it is for singing, but in fact, if the money is in place, you can still do anything.

Jia Zheng went there a few times and fell in love with a singing girl named Hongxiu. At that time, he was disturbed by the quarrel between Wang Shi and his concubine at home.

This Hongxiu girl is the most modest and gentle in this line of work, and she is a relatively high-end singing girl.

Not to mention being proficient in everything, but Jia Zheng was so fascinated by her that he wanted to redeem himself for her.

The old bustard agreed, but the price he offered was not so high. Jia Zheng had already stepped up and gritted his teeth and agreed.

But he didn't have that much money, and he didn't dare to let Wang know about it. In the end, he went to the treasury to borrow money.

At that time, the emperor had not opened his mouth to prohibit officials from borrowing money, so Jia Zheng directly borrowed 1 taels.

He redeemed Hongxiu's body, bought a yard, and raised Hongxiu outside. Whenever he was bored at home, he would go to Hongxiu's place to seek comfort.

It was a good thing Jia Zheng kept it a secret. Originally, the Wang family didn't know about it, but they didn't expect the emperor to suddenly start chasing debts.

Jia Zheng is in trouble now. If he doesn't pay the money, he won't even think about becoming an official.

But he couldn't get the money back. Originally, he went to ask Jia Mu, but at that time, Jia Mu was caught by Hou Sulan and embezzled public property.

I have to find a way to make up for the shortfall. How can I care about Jia Zheng? Jia Zheng has no choice but to go back to the Wang family to get the money.

He didn't tell the truth to Wang, he only said that he wanted to withdraw 1 taels of silver.

Of course, the Wang family refused to give it, and became suspicious, so she began to investigate Jia Zheng. After a few moments, the matter of Jia Zheng's support for his wife came to light.

Mrs. Wang was about to die of anger. You must know that although she seemed honest and honest, you could know the family style of Wang's family just by looking at Wang Xifeng.

Miss Wang didn't care about face anymore, and led someone to knock on the door, smashed the yard, and took Hongxiu back.

This incident caused an uproar in the city, and Jia Zheng was really ashamed, and some censors who didn't like Jia Zheng even read a book about him.

The emperor had a bad impression of Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng always reminded him of his younger brother Lao Jiu, and then Jia Zheng actually borrowed money to support his wife.

The emperor was furious, dismissed Jia Zheng as an official, and ordered him to pay back the money within three days.

Jia Zheng lost his official position and was about to go crazy. Although he always thought the official position was low, no matter how low he was, he was still an official!
Moreover, Jia Zheng has always felt that he is full of talents, but he has never encountered the opportunity. Once he has the opportunity, he will definitely be able to compare with Jia She.

But now that he lost his errand, and had no chance, Jia Zheng went back and beat Wang, and beat Wang to death.

At first, Wang felt a little regretful about causing Jia Zheng to lose his official position, but after Jia Zheng took action, Wang almost hated Jia Zheng to death.

The main reason was that Jia Zheng and his wife quarreled violently, alarming Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu rushed over to persuade the fight, but was accidentally injured by Jia Zheng, and his head was smashed with blood.

Now the Wang family only has Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun. Although she also loves Yuan Chun, she is still far inferior to Jia Zhu, and that is her lifeblood.

Seeing that Jia Zhu was injured, Jia Zheng also woke up a little bit. Although he felt sorry for Jia Zhu, he still couldn't let go of Wang Shi, and walked away without comforting Jia Zhu.

With this incident, Jia Zheng and his wife were even more incompatible. The Wang family hadn't had time to deal with Hongxiu being arrested and brought back to the Jia government.

Jia Zheng had already lost his official position anyway, and he had no scruples in acting, so he simply accepted Hongxiu as a concubine, and Wang was not allowed to meddle in her affairs.

Hongxiu was beaten up by Mrs. Wang, and she was humiliated in public. She hated Mrs. Wang. Whenever she found an opportunity, she would put eye drops in front of Jia Zheng. The relationship between Mr. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang became more and more tense.
