dream of red mansion

Mother Jia smiled at Aunt Xue as she spoke.
Aunt Xue also laughed and said: "Who dares to joke, this is full of wealth! We think we can't do it in such a short period of time."
Jia and Xue are big relatives, and Jia's mother appreciates Aunt Xue's personality, so she can talk about family affairs in front of her regardless.Aunt Xue naturally knew this, but she was very good at being a man, she just listened silently and didn't speak indiscriminately.
Although Xue Pan's father has passed away, the Xue family has been an imperial merchant for generations and has a huge family fortune.Not much to say, there should still be a millionaire.
But she is very good at finding the right position, and perfectly avoids Jia Mu's jokes.What's even more obvious is that she didn't take the initiative to borrow money to make friends at this time, because she knew very well that for a family like Jia's, she would rather be shorter than herself, and would never borrow money from relatives unless it was a last resort. of!
If she opens her mouth now, she won't please, it will only make people think that she has underestimated the Jia family!
Mother Jia kept staring at Aunt Xue, and seeing that she obeyed the rule of saying too much, she refused to say a word, she once again had a high opinion of this Aunt Xue's wife.
When Mrs. Wang saw Jiamu's eyes turned back, she quickly said the result of her own thinking: "Since the old lady has agreed to 20 taels, then I will go back and discuss with the master. I will pay 15 taels from the public, and I will add it to you." 5 taels, at least it can be made into 20 taels, I absolutely dare not let the old lady make up for it..."
Jia's mother said decisively: "You can't do what you say, the public still needs to save some money, otherwise there will be no family!
But as the mother of the empress, you should pay the silver, so let's fold it in half, and take out a total of 10 taels, which is enough to add up to the 10 taels of the public. "
Although Mrs. Wang is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, has a dowry property, and is the head wife of the Jia family, but now she can only give out tens of thousands of taels of silver.Otherwise, when it comes to what Mother Jia said, she would rather add it all herself.
After all, it was her biological daughter who was going home.
But she didn't have that much money, so she had to follow Jia Mu's words.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, the posture of the old lady and the lady is like joining forces to welcome our eldest lady back home! So, I have to express it. It's just that I don't have the support of two rich men. Capital, after all, there is still a family property of 1 taels of silver, so I can only take it all out as a filial piety!"
Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with your juniors. How much money do you have?"
Mrs. Xing's face was stunned. She has no money?She has more money than me!But I also know that as long as it comes to money, she has no part to speak, so she doesn't say a word from the beginning to the end, as if she is transparent.
As she was talking, she heard the servant girl outside preaching:
"Master Qing is here."
……
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Grandson greets the ancestors."
Entering Rongqing Hall, Jia Qing saluted Jia Mu as usual, and after being called up by Jia Mu, he greeted Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.
Then Jia Mu asked with a smile, "Why are you here so late?"
Jia Qing said with a smile: "The second uncle talked to me just now, and then he thought that he hadn't joked with the old ancestor for two days, so he came over to have a look. I didn't expect that it was just in time for the old ancestor to have a meeting here, so I also stayed Listen, so you won't be able to speak ill of me..."
"You are a monkey spirit, and you are always afraid that others will say something bad about you. But this time, I really let you talk about it!"
Jia Qing was taken aback and said, "Are you really arranging me?" Then she looked around and happened to see Jia Lian next to her, and said, "It must be Lian's second sister-in-law who instigated Lian's second brother to sue me!"
Wang Xifeng glared at Jia Qing angrily, and Jia's mother became curious: "So, you bullied your Lian's second sister-in-law?"
"No, no, absolutely nothing! She is so powerful, how dare I! What's more, with the support of the old ancestors behind him, it's good that she doesn't bully her grandson." Jia Qing said hastily.
Jia Lian laughed at the side and said, "Second brother, don't wrong me. Just now the old ancestor knew that you were going to build a garden for our elder sister. He was afraid that you would suffer a loss, so he was discussing to add 10 taels of silver for you to use!"
Jia Qing was overjoyed: "Sure enough, my ancestors dote on me, and I'm worrying about it! It's all because of my second elder brother Lian, who was at the side to instigate me, but my grandson was young, and as soon as my brain got hot, he took it all in. I didn't know until later. I've been fooled by Lian's second brother!
It's just that since the words have been spoken, there is no regret.
Now if my ancestor wants to give me money, I'd better ask Lian's second brother to take more, who told him to cheat on his grandson! "
Jia's mother laughed, she didn't think that Jia Lian could deceive Jia Qing.So he laughed:
"At first, I was afraid that you would be at a disadvantage. Since you have said that you took the big package, then I can rest assured. Not to mention Lian Er, even my wife and I don't have to bother here. Just wait. Looking at your jokes, I tell you to jump up and down all day long!"
Jia Qing asked: "Ancestor, are you serious?"
"real."
Jia Qing seemed to be angry: "As the saying goes: 'People fight for breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense!' Since the old ancestor said so, not to mention that the old ancestor didn't intend to give it to him at first. The ancestor insisted on forcibly giving the grandson money, and the grandson can't ask for it anymore!
The grandson will sell all the iron when he goes back, and he must build the garden beautifully. Let's see what your ancestors say when the time comes! "
Now it was Mother Jia's turn to be surprised: "Are you serious?"
Jia Qing said: "It's absolutely true! We, the younger generation of the Jia family, never speak too much!"
Mother Jia was silent.
On the surface, these children and grandchildren dare not think about her private family, but if she wants to give it, just like Mrs. Wang, she will follow the trend.
How could she not see that what Jia Qing said obviously did not want to take her money, so she deliberately said to "fight for breath".Neither hurt her face, but also refused to accept her money.
She had never doubted Jia Qing's respect for her, but she never thought that she could be so disinterested in self-interest!
This is not 100 taels, 1000 taels, but 10 taels!
Such a resolute and steadfast disregard, really couldn't stop her from admiring her!
Next to it, there are not a few people who can see this.
Wang Xifeng even felt that it was really nothing for her ex-son to subdue in front of Jia Qing.In the past, she still thought that she was a "rich person", but now the comparison is simply weak.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, Jia Qing raised his eyebrows, and saw the servant girl carry the stool out for him and Jia Lian, and sat down on the one next to Xichun.
"Old lady, a letter sent by Mrs. Lin!"
Lai's words made Jiamu frowned again.Lin Ruhai's letter, Jia Zheng just read it, and asked to send it in, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!
Sure enough, after taking it apart and reading a few words, Jia Mu's complexion sank.After reading it, he choked up and said:
"My miserable Yu'er..."
Mrs. Wang quickly asked: "Old lady, what happened?"
Mother Jia put away the letter and looked at Daiyu, the only one among the children and grandchildren in the house, who was ill and did not come. She was really sad again, and said: "Yu'er's father is seriously ill, and the letter said that he would take Yu'er back to see him... "
"Ah!" Jia Baoyu was shocked and said:
"No, I don't know what's going on with her crying again! My ancestor, sister Lin is also ill, and she can't walk that far. Let's not let her go, shall we?"
Jia Qing's complexion also sank, Lin Ruhai was still seriously ill after all.After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, he rolled his eyes.
What should be discussed at this time is how to send Daiyu back to Yangzhou safely and securely!
Jia's mother said: "Nonsense, the love between father and daughter can be stopped!"
