Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 42 Owing to the Emperor: Mrs. Wang and Jia Amnesty

The author has something to say: Master She: Forget~ba~er, take out the money!

Re-explaination of this cannon fodder——

The Jia family's family's demise of the Lin family's wealth is a family matter, but it's not a family matter.

The Lin family has been rich for five generations, and the emperor is also tempted.Where is Lin Ruhai?The world's fattest rank three.

This is not the key, the royal family will not insist on the money.The key is what will the Jia family do with the money?

Therefore, the Jia family must not be allowed to take the money, otherwise it will be included in the royal debt collection plan to be dealt with.

The Jia family is a small typical example of corrupt lords, there are only dudes left, if they are not dealt with, who will be dealt with?There are too many debts owed to the emperor, and Junzi Zhize will be executed for the fifth generation. It is time to settle accounts.

When a dynasty has established a country for a hundred years, it is relatively stable. If it does not collect debts at this time, should it be collected when the country is unstable?By then the creditors had probably spent all their money, and it was useless to kill them.

So the time has come to close the net. The promising emperor will not wait until the treasury is empty before worrying. He must find a suitable time to start.Once the emperor takes action, the Jia family will definitely be on the list.Those loan sharks, Qin Keqing, the fan of the stone nerd, the matter of the Xue family, etc. are all reasons.

As for seizing the heir apparent, the Jia family is not qualified to participate in the current situation.

A certain question asked Jia's mother for a long time, but Qin Qing and Qin Keqing were still fans. What the old lady said was "reasonable and reasonable".

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, begging Jia Mu not to ask for Daiyu's dowry.

Mother Jia's old tears rolled down, lamenting that her family's Jinsun is really kind-hearted, and hates that it has involved the scandal in the East Mansion.It's just that my heart is too depressed, to send a beggar, even Min'er's dowry is withheld, it's too bullying!After thinking about it, she had to answer with false words first, otherwise Xiao Jinsun would not get up.The young man is thin-skinned, and if he scares people twice, he should give up his own!

When it was almost noon, Jia's mother knew that Mrs. Wang was waiting anxiously, so she didn't leave lunch, so she sent Baoyu to pay her mother's greetings.

Speaking of which, there is only Jia Mu who is depressed for Daiyu's dowry in the whole family, and no one else cares.Mrs. Wang is still full of joy, she has not given up on getting Baochai to be her daughter-in-law. The Xue family has no problems with childbearing. Earth and gold are like iron", and the second younger sister has only one parent who only knows how to fight cocks and horses, which is much easier to handle than Lin Ruhai's heir.

Baoyu knew well that it was only temporarily stabilizing the situation. Once the locusts in the Rong Mansion knew that Lin Ruhai was about to perish, even if Lin Xing was his heir, they would do everything they could, and they would even plot to murder Lin Xing when Lin Ruhai was dying. An heir came to fight for property, and the Lin family's millions of wealth fell into the Rong Mansion!If there are not so many, wrong, is there so much, Lin Daiyu will have to accept "360 days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword will force each other" until the orphan girl is killed, so as to avoid trouble: all the money is in hand, Do you need to marry a helpless orphan?It's too bad.Marry Daiyu, not to mention the dowry, Daiyu's husband's family is very likely to cause trouble for the Lin family, and it is necessary to know that the orphan daughter of a third-rank official cannot marry into an ordinary family, and as long as she is a little capable, she will definitely be dissatisfied , into trouble, the Jia family does not have much ability to fight with others.

Therefore, it would be safest for Daiyu to get a moderate dowry, and the Jia family would not put such a small amount of money in their eyes.Fake Stone thinks this is the only thing he can do for Sister Lin, so don't say he is heartless, he tried his best.

After leaving Jiamu's backyard, Zhou Rui's family led a group of maids and women to stay there, and happily embraced Baoyu and got into the soft sedan chair.

The soft sedan chair went to the courtyard of the second room, Mrs. Wang actually came to the door, hugged the fake stone into her arms and rubbed it, the heart was laughing and crying, saying that the baby was dark and thin, surrounded by women and maids We all sigh.

Before the excitement was over, Caiyun came to report that the meal was ready.Baoyu had a full stomach of snacks, which he could not eat, but he had to follow Mrs. Wang to the table.Looking around, he didn't see the first girl, Jin Chuan'er, and couldn't help but mutter to himself that the waiter Shenying did not commit crimes. Could it be that Jin Chuan'er is still on the path of destiny and has a few years less life?

This matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't ask, and pretended to be a cute maidservant, and served Mrs. Wang with vegetables and soup.

Mrs. Wang couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she put aside the etiquette of "eating without talking" at the table, and asked about everything about traveling south.

Baoyu looked at the maids and women, and didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to send someone. He leaned into her ear and said, "I'm holding Lian's second brother, and I won't let him spend a penny. After finishing the school field, he will do what he wants. I think it's Su. It’s hard to get out of the Guazhou incident.”

Mrs. Wang laughed so much that she almost knocked over the bowl, and raised her fist to beat her fist: "You are a narrow-minded person, and you still dare to sue. Be careful, Lian'er hates you!"

Baoyu spread his hands: "It's only right for him to come back and thank me!"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "My son has always had an idea, but he may not appreciate it. Seeing your aunt and the others this time?"

Baoyu rolled her eyes: "I'll talk to my wife later. Anyway, it's all right!"

Mrs. Wang knew that there was a lot of inside story, so she asked to withdraw after eating some food casually, and specially ordered that the dishes that had not been touched at all be rewarded to the hard-working Li Guiming smokers.

You ask Xiaohong Zixiao?As soon as they arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard, the two maidservants were sent back to Baoxia to rest. That Zixiao was stupid, and Xiaohong belonged to Jia's mother. Mrs. Wang had already arrested Zhang Ruojin for questioning.

The master has always been a household chore, and there are at least one or two confidant maids around him to serve.A certain one has always been disliked, Mrs. Wang agreed, and let the certain one pretend to be a servant. After sipping a mouthful of fragrant tea, he said with a smile: "I have something to say, what can't be listened to?"

"It must have been Lian's second brother's trick!" Fake Stone Guagua cut and deleted Jinling Zhitian, and praised Xue's family for being a great help. At the end, he changed the subject and said that it was all done by Jia Lian. Fear of the master's displeasure.

Mrs. Wang's face froze slightly, she knew that Jia Zheng had ordered her son not to go to Xue's house, and the master would not let him go for such an idea, it was too upright!

Baoyu hurriedly talked about interesting things when he lived in Zhen's house. Mrs. Wang became very interested and asked carefully.

From what she thought, although the Zhen family had a concubine and a concubine, they had no female concubines in the current harem. If there were no suitable girls to go to Beijing for a draft, there would be no conflict of interest between them.And this is not easy: Zhen Yingjia's younger aunt is a concubine, and the eldest daughter is the concubine of the third prince. She must be a girl of the same age as Zhen Yingjia's generation to enter the current harem.The old lady Zhen has passed away, how can Zhen Yingjia have a sister in her boudoir?For those close to the branch, only girls from official families with a third grade or above can be drafted, and they can only be recorded under the name of Mrs. Zhen.In this way, this relationship can help Yuanchun.

Baoyu looked at her appearance, and adapted what she said to Lian Er's "promoting the concubine to punish the slaves" into "conferring the concubine to punish the treacherous ministers", saying that it was revealed by Zhen Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang was very bluffing, she would never have imagined that her baby would dare to tell such a big lie, she thought to herself that it is no wonder that none of Zhen Yingjia's younger sisters are married today. , but that is the Son of Heaven, and what he said when he was a child shows his nature.

So she asked with a wooden face: "Who else have you told this to?"

Baoyu lowered his voice: "There are no dearer relatives than a mother and son, so I don't have to worry about it! I didn't say anything to the old lady, for fear of bluffing her old man. But Baoyu of the Zhen family has a small temper, and sees the heavens saying that his sisters and sisters are not allowed to enter the palace. Did Lian's second brother hear that? One or two ears are not clear."

Mrs. Wang's heart was burning, and she said slowly: "That's why Lian'er didn't mention it to you? He either didn't hear it, or he knew the seriousness. You can't even tell the master about it. I will definitely rebuke you. Besides, your eldest sister is over 20, and she is just living through the day, so why make the master sleepless."

Baoyu rubbed his eyes and sighed: "Son, but I hope that the eldest sister will leave the palace safely. Could it be that our family can't afford to enshrine an aunt? At that time, it will be a good thing that the girls in the family and the girls of the relatives will be taught, and the eldest sister will not will be lonely."

Madam Wang's eyes were filled with tears. Back then, she thought that if she entered the palace with Yuan Chun's talent and looks, how could she not fly on a branch?Unexpectedly, it was time wasted, and she boiled like oil to become an old lady. What a "female history", but it sounds better than a court lady!Looking back, what if Yuan Chun became a concubine?It is the whole family who get shelter and benefits!My grandfather is nearly fifty years old and has been working in the Ministry of Industry. At this age, can he find a way to go out and start over?Officials from the Ministry of Industry who were not born in the imperial examination were not promoted to the fifth-rank doctor, and the highest in this life was the fifth-rank doctor. She had already done it without Yuanchun's help.As for Baoyu's entry into an official position, it will be more than ten years later, and there are still "few Jinshi" at thirty, so he will leave the palace early in Yuanchun!

Baoyu beat the side drum again: "Madam, don't be sad. Nepotism has been a double-edged sword since ancient times. President Zhen is so talented, but the outside world still jokes that he relies on nepotism to get to the top. That's all. When I lived in Zhen's house, there was a kind of panic in their house. Presumably they are well aware of today's temperament. Once I heard brother Shiping talking to his younger brother who was in charge of common affairs, but it was not clear from a distance, as if they were discussing tribute and presenting a gift, and I vaguely heard "today's tired of luxury, There is no tolerance for treachery, and what is a deficit. Only the master in our family does an ordinary job in the Ministry of Industry, so there should be no deficit, and he will not owe a large sum of money to the treasury."

Mrs. Wang's face was ugly: "There will be no deficit, but you owe the imperial silver! No one in the house of the Lord of Beijing owes the royal silver, but Durong Mansion does not owe it. How much money is spent on such an antique, it is better to use it to pay off the debt. If you don’t pay it back now, the second room will have to share a debt when the family is divided!"

Baoyu didn't expect such a harvest, and he was secretly happy. He originally wanted to play drums for Jia Lian after earning some money, but how can the words of the jade generation be as effective as the literate generation?At the moment, he is touting Mrs. Wang's great opinion, and talking about the fact that he heard on the way that the elder of the Rong Mansion "accepts a beautiful concubine with a thousand pieces of gold" and that thousands of silvers become thousands of gold, which shows that the world's mouth is terrible. When the Holy Majesty thinks that the owner of the Rong Mansion "has money to buy concubines but has no money to pay off debts", he will definitely dislike Rong Mansion.Mrs. Wang thought so deeply, and blatantly complained about how Jia She wasted money, and how the Xing family could only get in and out.

The quick-acting pill to deepen the relationship is to get together to say bad things about people. The mother and son share the same hatred and discuss how to lobby the political master to come forward. Time flies by without realizing it.

Mr. Zheng also knew that the son was coming back today, and he returned home after noon. When he heard that his wife was having a secret conversation with his son, he thought that they were just talking heartfelt words, so he didn't bother him.Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, the child could not come out, so he was so annoyed that he was summoned.

Only then did Mrs. Wang realize that she had been chatting for too long, so she hurriedly adjusted Baoyu's clothes and crown, and once again told her what to say and what not to say.

Baoyu responded repeatedly, saying that I still have a hurdle to pass before trying to repay the debt. This time I went to Yangzhou and didn't mention Lin Ruhai about the teacher... I'm afraid, Lin Ruhai's letter full of lies is in hand, at that time I submitted the letter from Mr. Zheng to Lin Ruhai, but he didn't answer.

Not to mention how Baoyu fooled Mr. Zheng, Jia Lian was also passed on by Jia Amnesty this afternoon, and Jia Zhen was here.

Jia Zhenbaba came here because he was worried that Mr. Xi was too dark, and he "borrowed" the money from the Zhen family under the pretext of fancying some antiques.

Mr. Xi doesn't point out the repayment of the deposit silver. His old man has a lot of money. Whether he has collected the debts or not, he can get the silver. How can he not be filial to his father?

Jia Lian came here with an antique, which was not given by Sister Feng. There is a saying: "The broken silver in the cracks of the Wang's house is not fed to the dogs without conscience. Use the big anchor gold you drink with flower wine to please the master!" So, you know, this is a rare item from the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties that Jia Lian had not had time to resell as a gift from the Xue family.

But when Jia Amnesty accepted the antiques, he recognized them with piercing eyes and was very happy.Looking at Lin Ruhai's parallel letter again, feeling slightly disappointed, he asked Jia Lian directly about Lin Xing.After half a day, the news that the Lin family had an heir had spread throughout the two houses.

Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he was secretly glad that he had planned for the worst. He was about to describe the banquet, including that Lin Xing came to Yangzhou from Gusu three years ago, was engaged, and so on.It means that Lin Ruhai recruited Lin Guang as soon as Aunt Min died, and all the affairs have already been arranged, and there is nothing wrong with Jia's family.

Jia She was secretly angry. His idea was to promise Yingchun to Lin Guang. Marriages of concubine daughters were always difficult. Back then, when the Duke's wife was still alive, his concubine sisters were all married to concubine sons, so they couldn't bring them to their mother's family. come any good.Originally thought that Lin Xing was no more than an heir, and a concubine's concubine would be considered a good match, but Lin Ruhai didn't expect the Jia family to be considered at all.The bastard Li heir didn't even say a word to his big uncle, he only came to seal the sour letter.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Jia Zhen hurriedly pretended to be the patriarch and asked about setting up the land for sacrifice.

Jia Lian got excited, considering that Jia Amnesty didn't dare to brag too much considering that he was sitting high on the throne, Zhi Tian mentioned that the key lies in the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and seven expenses in the process of asking for deposits. There is only half of the deposit back!

Jia Zhen didn't expect her good brother to be so black, but the possibility of recovering the money was not high, and it was better than nothing.

The patriarch agreed to admit it, and Jia Lian took out a stack of bank notes.When Jia Zhen saw it, she wished she could kick him: "The small bank note, does this mean that the share for Mr. Xie has to come from his half?"

He had no choice but to take out a card saying to respect Mr. She and drink tea, seeing that Mr. She looked unhappy, he hurriedly pointed out that he was running away.

Master Xi twisted his beard with his hands and looked gloomy, and refused to say anything to tell Jia Lian to go away.Jia Lian knew how to do it, knelt down obediently, held a bank note in both hands, and said that the money spent in the process of processing was nothing imaginary, and that this note was filial to the Xue family.

Jia Amnesty didn't accept the banknote, and frowned, "Is that the Xue Pan's family who beat someone to death for the young lady in Gusu?" It is said that he has been a concubine all his life, and he has always spent money to buy it in a fair way, and he has never bought it for such a thing. Provoking a fatal lawsuit.

Jia Lian sighed, and did not defend Xue Pan for the past, but only emphasized that Xue Dadai is only 14 years old now, and the Xue Wang family has already severely disciplined him.It is also said that Xue Pan has a straightforward temper and is not yet well versed in economic affairs, so that the business in Duzhong is manipulated by some managers.Furthermore, Xue's family used internal money and food to buy miscellaneous materials for the palace. Because Xue Pan's inaction two years ago caused a lawsuit, and the recruiter hated it.

Jia She frowned, this time it wasn't for the Xue family, since he was young he couldn't understand his second brother's morality, but the old lady was so biased that she let the big Wang's housekeeper be the director, he can't bear the honor of the Duke. Spend your own money!The son and daughter-in-law are even more wronged. They obviously live in their own house, but who doesn't say that they live in their uncle's house?Don't even look at who owns the Rongfu!

So he picked up the bank note, glanced at it, and snorted: "Your wife is Mrs. Xue's niece. She is her real aunt. The relatives are in frequent contact with each other. Tell her what I said, and send a letter to invite Xue's family to Beijing."

Lian Er responded decisively, and what he said in his heart could be regarded as a clear road - he sent his servants to deliver a letter to Xue's family while he was still on the way back to the north.Originally thought that Xue's family had a house in the capital, but for the time being, they kept it from the Rong Mansion, but unexpectedly it would be done!
