Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.
Chapter 456 Qin Keqing 23
"Grandma, uncle and uncle Qiang didn't bring enough money to Lanyue Tower, so they asked grandma to make a turnover of five hundred taels."
Jia Rong's personal servant Jin Shou begged with a sad face.
"Five hundred taels? That's so much? Did you tell me who you invited? Don't let anyone trick you."
Qin Keqing's face was solemn, and now a banquet worth fifty taels of silver was worth the sky. Jia Rong's number is already ten times that. How many tables have been invited?
Now that Jia Zhen is ill in bed, there is only about 500 taels of silver in the public account. Moreover, it will be time to pay the monthly interest in a short time. It will be difficult to pay out the money after spending so much suddenly.
Jia Rong's servant only lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more. Jia Rongcai, the housekeeper, caused such a thing, and he felt ashamed for him.
"What do the stewards say? This man has a serious business to attend to, so he should keep it private. Why do you look like you've come directly to the inner chamber to ask questions?"
Keqing covered the smile on her lips with a handkerchief. Although this was a trap she set for Jia Rong to tell him to be obedient in the future, she didn't expect the effect to be so good that she could take the next step.
Jia Rong's little boy groaned for a long time before he could hold back a few words.
"It's the uncle who called me to beg grandma... The stewards in front of me only recognized my uncle's stamp, but I only gave him a note without a stamp... Besides, I was tricked in this matter. Anyway, please help me, grandma." Save me!"
"Oh! How can I have so much money?"
Keqing frowned, took out the jewelry box and flipped through it.
"I only have two hundred taels here, and I'm going to use it in the next two days. Do you have any private money left in your office?"
"Oh my grandma, not to mention my father's, even the private rooms of us little ones have been taken out. If we can get it all together, we won't bother grandma anymore."
"so……"
But when Qing saw that he was really in trouble and was sweating all over his head, he said, "Then wait a minute, and I'll borrow it from my wife."
"Okay, okay, hurry up! I'm almost embarrassed to death outside."
"Then take these over first and tell me not to be so anxious."
Ke Qing said considerately, and when he saw that the boy was really shouting something like "Grandma Bodhisattva", he turned around and picked up the silver and went out.
In Lanyue Tower, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were already waiting impatiently.
After they learned that the price of a meal was five hundred taels of silver, they originally wanted to leave without acknowledging the bill.
As a result, Shopkeeper Huang and his people blocked him.
When Jia Rong was about to fight, Prince Zhongshun arrived with Jiang Yuhan.
He said that he heard someone summoning his pet, so he wanted to see who had such a big face, and then stop by to support him.
Only then did Jia Rong and Jia Qiang know that the Lanyue Tower was the property of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion. They were trying to get someone to buy and sell.
"Speaking of which, Jia Zhen lost this place to me. I think back then, you Ningguo Mansion was the governor of the Beijing camp, and you had really good deals. In order to get this place from Jia Zhen, I even dealt with your grandfather. Woolen cloth!"
"After all, we are family friends."
Prince Zhongshun fanned happily and called Qi Guan Jiang Yuhan to come to the performance hall and sing a song.
"I've given you some good wine. I'll have a drink and be happy!"
Prince Zhongshun was known as an absurd prince. Apart from his loyalty, the emperor also looked down upon him in everything.
But because of his loyalty, he became the longest-living prince. In this regard, he cannot be said to be an absurd person.
"Yes."
Jiang Yuhan is now a young boy. It is the time when he can't tell the difference between male and female. He puts on rouge and dresses up, as gorgeous as a peony flower.
"Hey, how's it going? Does it look good? Five hundred taels of silver is not a loss to you."
Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were held to the neck with a knife by the prince's guard. How dare she say she was at a loss?
They finally saw that the prince was angry and was venting his anger on them!
"Drink! Eat vegetables! Hey, you Jia family are really worse than the rest. I remember when Jia Zhen drank with me, she blew her hide."
Prince Zhongshun suddenly leaned his head close to Jia Rong and said:
"I heard that he is about to die? Ouch, no wonder you spent so much money to celebrate! Such a prodigal son, I have and I am looking forward to him... Ahem. Hahaha, drink, drink!"
Prince Zhongshun drank a glass of wine and said he was unhappy.
I asked shopkeeper Huang to change the bowl and open another jar of good wine.
"This wine still has some flavor, what is it called?"
"If I tell the prince, it's called Shengshichun, one hundred and sixty taels per altar."
Shopkeeper Huang bowed his waist and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay! This wine is good. I'll open another jar for you. Uncle Jia is treating me today, so I have to give him face."
Jia Rong's face can no longer be described as ugly, it is quite ugly.
Now that Jia Zhen is in bed and can't come to pick him up, he and Jia Qiang are stuck here.
"Master, master!"
Jia Rong's young servant Jin Shou was let in with a mournful face. The box and bundle he was carrying were opened, and the guard at the door took away ten taels of silver from inside.
"Ouch, you've got some money? Put it here and I'll count it!"
After Prince Zhongshun teased Jia Rong, he stood up and stepped on the stool, like a bully blocking the road, insisting on seeing how much money was in the box.
But here in Jinshou, the total is only more than 700 taels of silver, and it is calculated by mixing silver notes and broken silver together.
"Hey, it's true! You're just here to cheer me up, you're not sincere!"
Prince Zhongshun smacked his lips and said.
Jia Rong was also angry. He thought he had enough money so he could pay and leave quickly, so he paid more. Unexpectedly, the money now is indeed enough for the amount that Shopkeeper Huang originally said, but it is not enough for the latest addition by the prince.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to tell grandma to withdraw more money?"
Jia Rong already suspected that Keqing deliberately embarrassed him.
"Grandma has already dug out the bottom of the box. Because she was afraid that I would be anxious, she asked me to deliver one first...Grandma is still thinking of a solution for the rest."
Jin Shou was also aggrieved. He watched his grandma Keqing rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the money, but he couldn't keep up with the speed at which Jia Rong wasted the money!
"Think about it quickly, the banquet is almost over..."
"Hey~ why do you say that? Your Jia family invited me, how dare I leave? We have finished the banquet during the day, and then we will take over the wine bar at night."
Prince Zhongshun did not intend to let Jia Rong go easily. Anyway, there is no one in Ningguo Mansion. Even if people from Rongguo Mansion are invited to come, the accounts that have been made must be acknowledged.
"Drink! Keep drinking! If you don't drink, you won't give me face."
Prince Zhongshun wants to rectify people and has many methods. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang want to escape, but they have to wait.
But the reason for his conspiracy was that even if he sued the emperor, it would only cost him a few taels of silver.
Even if the imperial censor submitted a memorial to him, he could only accuse Prince Shun of a crime that was too extravagant to even scratch his skin.
