Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber
Chapter 119
Jia Lian sighed and said, "This time, it is clear that Rongguo Mansion is going to be cleaned up. Not only the case of the stone nerd has been judged, but also the case of Rongguo Mansion's default of money owed to those merchants."
"And those members of the clan who were coaxed to move away also took this opportunity to get their money back." Jia Lian gestured to Wang Xifeng, "The final total is about this amount. .”
Wang Xifeng was shocked: "Why are there so many?"
Jia Lian gave her a calculation, "Let's not talk about the land and the decorations in the garden, just say that the materials used to build the garden are the best. Naturally, the price of good things is not cheap. There is also Rongguo Mansion. Those in charge here, who didn’t take this opportunity to eat enough oil and water? The actual price is one thing, but the price on the certificate is another matter. At this time, those businessmen are making a fuss, and naturally they only accept the price on the certificate.”
Wang Xifeng said: "Wouldn't Rongguo Mansion only suffer from being dumb?"
Jia Lian nodded, "Isn't it? In order to save Concubine Xiande, they sold people, sold Zhuangzi, and pawned things. I don't know how much money they put in. How can they get the money now?"
Wang Xifeng understood somewhat, "So they plan to sell Rongguo Mansion? Isn't this forcing us to buy it?"
Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, we are really forced to buy it, otherwise can't we watch our ancestral house go to other people's hands?"
"Today, my father and I passed away as soon as we heard the news. If the price they said was reasonable, even if it was a bit higher, we would have accepted it." Jia Lian patted his thigh, "But they are simply talking like a lion."
Jia Lian gestured to Wang Xifeng again, "For this amount, they even included the repayment of this debt, the money for buying a house later, and the money for living in the future."
Wang Xifeng couldn't get angry, "They still have to be shameless? Why don't they grab so much money?"
Jia Lian sighed, "They didn't really intend to ask for so much. After all, we are not stupid, but they are asking for a lot of money and paying back the money. Today, my father and I argued with them for a day, and we probably reached their bottom line. It is estimated that it will be done in a few days, and you should also pay attention to it in the next few days, and gather all the money at home."
Wang Xifeng nodded, "I understand, don't worry about my work."
Jia Lian stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Xifeng to his side, "Of course I don't worry about you, it's alright, I'm hungry too after a long day today, bring me some food."
When Wang Xifeng heard this, he immediately asked someone to go to the kitchen to ask for food, and also asked Jia She to send a copy to Jia She's yard, and asked Jia Lian if he wanted to take a hot bath first.
Jia Lian agreed, took a hot bath and ate enough food, and then went to bed to rest.
Wang Xifeng lay beside him, chattering about today's suggestion for Yingchun, "I think the second sister is right, anyway, sooner or later she will send sister Qiao to school, why not just send it in a few days. "
Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "Sister Qiao is not in a hurry to start school. After the Rongguo Mansion is bought, you probably have to get busy and send Brother Hua and Sister Qiao to my father. Let him help with it for a while."
Jia Lian paused for a moment and then said: "...Father may feel uncomfortable. I feel relieved to have Sister Qiao, Brother Hua, and the others accompanying me."
Wang Xifeng leaned against Jia Lian, "I'll listen to you."
After a while, Wang Xifeng asked again: "...What do you think about Ping'er?"
Jia Lian wondered, "What do you think?"
Wang Xifeng thumped him, "Ping'er is so old, it's time to give her a home."
Jia Lian said casually: "Then you go and ask, if there is a suitable manager or a good buddy, just match it."
After Jia Lian finished speaking, she was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.
Ping'er had served him before.
Jia Lian turned to look at Wang Xifeng, "Do you want to raise Ping'er to be your aunt?"
Wang Xifeng said angrily: "What do you mean I want to raise Ping'er to be my aunt? I'm asking you!"
Jia Lian was silent for a moment and said: "If it was before, maybe I would still have some thoughts about this. Hey, don't stare at me in a hurry. I won't say it. Is it the past? Things in the mansion have not stopped in recent years. However, I have never stopped. I am busy running around the house all day, and I am so busy that I often don’t have enough time to sleep. And now I have a son and a daughter. The relationship with my parents has also become harmonious, and I really don't have any interest in these Aunt Tongfang... With this time, I might as well take a good rest for a few days and spend time with Sister Qiao and the others."
Wang Xifeng was also silent for a while and said: "I won't hide it from you. If someone else came to be my aunt, I would definitely complain, but Ping'er... I can't complain to her. She has served me since childhood, and she has always Accompany me, saying that she is a master and servant, but in fact she is no different from a sister. I also know how she behaves, and she will never have any bad intentions for me. If she hadn't served you before, I would definitely choose a good son. Fengfengguangguang married her off, but now, I don't know what is best for her."
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, should you ask her tomorrow? After all, this is a major event related to her life, and it is better for her to make the decision herself."
Wang Xifeng nodded, "That's the only way."
Jia Lian tucked the quilt up tightly for Wang Xifeng, "Okay, go to sleep."
On the second day, Jia Lian got up early in the morning and went to Rongguo Mansion with Jia She, and argued with Jia Mu and others about the amount of money to buy Rongguo Mansion. He said what he and Jia Lian had said.
Wang Xifeng sighed: "If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't let you serve the second master no matter what I said."
Ping'er lowered his head and said nothing, Wang Xifeng said again: "I discussed it with the second master. It mainly depends on what you want. If you want to marry someone, we will carefully choose a good man for you. You don't have to worry about anything when you get married, we are here for everything, if you want to be an aunt, we will also hold a banquet for you and give you a decent title."
Ping'er raised his head, tears were already streaming down his face, "Miss, isn't it good that Ping'er has been serving you like this?"
Seeing Ping'er weeping and calling out her address in the boudoir, Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling sad, and took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe Ping'er's tears, "Silly Ping'er, women in this world are going to marry after all. Damn, if you don't get married, how can I bear to be alone in the future?"
Ping'er choked and didn't speak, Wang Xifeng patted her, "Okay, I'll ask you too, can we force you if you don't want it? Don't cry, watch out for your eyes."
It took Ping'er a while to stop her tears and said that she wanted to be an aunt.
"I can see through the men in this world. Most of them are vulgar people. I have no skills. I only like to show off on women. I don't want to gamble on whether I have the luck to meet a good man."
Ping'er said seriously: "Besides, getting married and leaving the mansion is a lot of things, and it will be impossible to serve grandma like this in the future. It's better to be with the second master Lian, and I can be with him like this in the future. I don’t care about serving grandma, I’m not afraid that life will be bad in the future, even if I die in the future, sister Qiao, brother Hua, and others will remember me and offer incense to me.”
Ping'er kowtowed to Wang Xifeng, "I beg grandma to help you!"
Wang Xifeng nodded with tears in her eyes, and quickly helped her up again, "I remember you for being kind to me, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
After a few days, Wang Xifeng went to Lin Zhixiao and his wife and asked them to recognize Ping'er as their goddaughter, and took Ping'er's contract of sale to the government to cancel his slave status, and personally prepared a lot of dowry.
People in the mansion were amazed, and they were all asking who Ping'er betrothed to.
A few days later, the official media came to the door of Lin Zhixiao's house and offered Ping'er a kiss.
Only then did everyone know that Ping'er was going to be Jia Lian's aunt!
Everyone's thoughts suddenly changed. Wang Xifeng spent so much time and energy to get rid of slavery, prepare a dowry for Ping'er, and even invite an official matchmaker, but in the end, he just let Ping'er be Jia Lian's aunt?
Ping'er was preparing to get married at Lin Zhixiao's house, and the prying outside didn't bother her at all. Wang Xifeng's preparations had made Ping'er grateful every day. When the official media came to her door, Ping'er cried.
Wang Xifeng is following the process of accepting Liang's concubine!
Ping'er cried for a few days, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, Lin Zhixiao's daughter, Hongyu who was named Xiaohong when she was in Rongguo Mansion, hurriedly applied Ping'er's eyes.
Hongyu persuaded in a low voice: "Second Grandma's love for my sister is really beyond words. With such a good master, my sister should be happy. Why are you still crying? What my sister has to do now is to take good care of her. Myself, when I get married, I will dress myself up beautifully, show it to everyone, and give Second Mistress a face!"
Ping'er is highly regarded by Wang Xifeng, and there are many people who are jealous on weekdays. They often use Ping'er's status as a maid to make her bitter. In Hongyu's view, now that Wang Xifeng is working so hard to save Ping'er's face, she should take this opportunity to kill those people. People's mouths are blocked!
Ping'er also understood, nodded, and stopped crying.
A few days later, Ping'er was carried into Jia Lian's yard by a pink sedan chair carried by four people. On the second day, there was an additional aunt Ping in the mansion.
Jia Lian and Jia She were arguing with Jia Mu and others for seven days in a row, and even Jia Jing stepped forward to help Jia She lower the price, and finally set the price at half of the original price.
After the decision was made, Jia Amnesty immediately asked Jia Lian to go back and get the bank note to give to Jia Mu, "Now that Rongguo Mansion has been bought by me, it's better for the second brother to move out as soon as possible. If there are not enough people, I can also help."
Jia Zheng's expression was not good. The amount of money was far less than he had imagined. After repaying the debt, it was enough for them to rent a three-bedroom house in Beijing, and they couldn't even buy it!
Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't answer and Jia Amnesty didn't bother to bother, he turned his head to look at Jia's mother, "Mother, do you want to go back with us? Or do you want to continue to live with the second brother?"
Mother Jia looked at him resentfully, "Live with you, waiting to be mad at you?"
Jia She said with a smile: "Mother said that she will not die, son is just asking, it's fine if mother doesn't want to live with us, I will send the monthly maintenance money on time."
"And those members of the clan who were coaxed to move away also took this opportunity to get their money back." Jia Lian gestured to Wang Xifeng, "The final total is about this amount. .”
Wang Xifeng was shocked: "Why are there so many?"
Jia Lian gave her a calculation, "Let's not talk about the land and the decorations in the garden, just say that the materials used to build the garden are the best.
