"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

"10 taels?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Tiaoshu's expression of embarrassment but never lowered the price, and smiled, "How does Boss Zhao think that your shop is worth 10 taels?"

Zhao Tianshu was stunned for a moment. Based on the straightforwardness Jia She gave the money yesterday, it was obvious that he was determined to win his shop and didn't care about how much money he had. Now why is this attitude again? Zhao Tianshu was a little uncertain. Cautiously tentatively said: "General, 10 taels."

Jia Amnesty smiled even bigger: "You know, you don't have any background, and I, the head of the Rongguo Mansion, bought you a shop to give you face, and robbed you of a shop to give you face, you said, right? "

Zhao Jianshu's complexion changed drastically: "General Jia, at the feet of the emperor, you still want to grab it? Are you not afraid that I will go to the Yamen to sue you?"

"You've been doing business in the capital for so many years, and you still believe in the yamen, where officials protect each other, don't you know?" Jia Amnesty's smile remained unchanged, and his tone of voice was as gentle and polite as before.

But it was extremely harsh to Zhao Jianshu's ears. Zhao Jianshu's face became ugly, his whole body trembled, his eyes kept rolling, anxious like a trapped animal, but there was nothing he could do.

Jia Amnesty admired Zhao's way of filling out the book, then turned his head to gesture to Ah Fu, and Ah Fu took out the banknote from his arms knowingly and put it on the table.

"10 taels, Boss Zhao can count it," Jia She said with a smile, watching Zhao Tianshu rushing over to count the bank notes, and continued: "Boss Zhao, you sold this shop to me. Do you have any ideas for the next step, the general just happens to have a shop in the west of the city, the location is good, are you interested?"

Zhao Tianshu stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty continued: "5000 taels, I'll sell it to you at the cost price, is Boss Zhao interested?"

Zhao Tianshu shook his head quickly: "No, no," he said, putting the banknotes in his arms, and smiled: "General Jia, Zhao has not decided on the next thing, so don't bother the general, then The younger one will take my leave first." After speaking, she stood up and planned to leave.

Jia Amnesty didn't stop him, and added calmly: "If Boss Zhao really has no idea, he can wait until the general arrives when the store opens, and come over and be my shopkeeper, that's fine."

Zhao Tianshu's footsteps paused, his back turned to Jia Amnesty's face and he frowned, but his tone was full of gratitude: "Then, thank you General, let the little one think about it, think about it."

After Zhao Tianshu left, Jia Amnesty stood up and looked at the busy traffic below with a smile: "I really don't know, who is the person behind Zhao Tianshu? But, soon, we will know."

Jia Amnesty did not go to Zhao Tianshu's shop again, but went back to the mansion directly, and asked Ah Fu to take a few villains to Zhao Tianshu's shop. Ah Fu also went through the formalities. After all, Jia Amnesty He is an official. The Daqing Law stipulates that officials are not allowed to engage in business, so some official shops are placed in the hands of their confidantes. Anyway, these confidants have signed death contracts. Nature belongs to their master.

Jia Amnesty went back to his yard, and before the stool was warmed up, someone came to report that it was Shi Taijun who wanted to see him.

Seeing him, Jia She smiled, he knew why Shi Taijun wanted to see him.

"Tell me, tell me, what did you do with so much money?" Shi Taijun saw Jia She came in, and immediately threw a teacup on the ground: "I thought you had chosen it, but I didn't expect it to come from Yangzhou." When you come back, you will cause so many things, you will not go to the school, and I will not serve you here, what do you want?"

Jia She bowed and saluted, as if engraving the salute and respect into his bones: "Mother."

"You still know that I am your mother, tell me, 5 taels, the whole 5 taels of silver, what did you do with it?" Shi Taijun glared at Jia She angrily, as if Jia She didn't say anything. I want him to look good.

Jia She calmly sat on a chair at the side, looking at the people in the room, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. Xing were all present. Fortunately, the younger generation didn't come. She is ugly in front of juniors.

"Mother, how can I say that my son is also the successor of the Rongguo Mansion. The Rongxi Hall has already been handed over to the second brother. It doesn't make sense to let the property out. Since the property belongs to the son, how much does the son want to get? Should it be the son's own business?" After finishing speaking, Jia She turned to look at Wang Xifeng: "Girl Feng, father-in-law, I will take my own money, so you don't have to sue mother, if mother gets angry and faints It's your fault, or mine."

"What nonsense?" Shi Taijun scolded angrily: "When did I tell you to give up your property to your second brother?" After speaking, the old lady picked up her handkerchief and covered her face and began to cry: "People are old and old. , I was so disgusted by my son, I started to blame me as a mother."

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng hurried forward to comfort, Shi Taijun took off a corner of the handkerchief, and secretly looked at Jia Amnesty.

Unexpectedly, Jia She looked at Wang Xifeng who was comforting Shi Taijun: "Feng girl, take a look, you must have pissed off your mother again."

"I..." Wang Xifeng was about to step forward to slap Jia She in the face at this time, but thinking that he had suffered a disadvantage in front of Jia She just now, it would be better to calm down a bit, so she quickly took the handkerchief and began to cry. I was so wronged to go up.

But Shi Taijun stopped crying at this moment, and glared at Jia She: "It's obviously your fault, what are you blaming girl Feng for? Could it be that you want to leave such a large sum of money to make the house's accounts tight, and still want girl Feng? I can't take the blame for you, you bad-hearted boy."

When Jia She heard this, he laughed instead. The laughter caused several people to look at him suspiciously. Even Wang Xifeng, who was still crying, forgot to cry and looked over, wondering what Jia She was laughing at.

"This is strange. My Rongguo Mansion is still a Duke's mansion. Although it is now in decline, and I only have the title of first-rank general, there are only three generations from the old Duke. A mere 5 taels is a shortfall, how can my son remember that when the Zhang family was in power, there was no such a small amount of money on the books." After finishing speaking, Jia She looked at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, and instead of looking at Jia Amnesty, she looked at Shi Taijun sincerely: "Old Ancestor, since the old Duke passed away, we have been only going out and not going in. The population in the mansion is too large to consume. Da, if things go on like this for a long time, it will be like this. Besides, when the daughter-in-law took over the account book from the sister-in-law, it is not much different from now. If the daughter-in-law hadn't been diligent and diligent these years, the situation of our house might have been worse."

Shi Taijun patted Mrs. Wang's hand and comforted: "It's really hard for you."

"It's really embarrassing," Jia Amnesty interjected, "I usually see Feng girl taking care of this and that in this mansion, and I thought that this account is also in charge of Feng girl, but I didn't expect Feng girl to look at my younger siblings at this time. , this is wrong, no matter how you say, Feng girl is also my eldest daughter-in-law, even if Xing's background is not good, and she can't manage the huge Rongguo Mansion, then she should be the official of Feng girl, why is this account still in the hands of younger siblings , Could it be that for so many years, siblings have been reconciling accounts and have never let go." The expression on that face was like saying that Mrs. Wang was too greedy for power.

Mrs. Wang tightened her hands while stirring the handkerchief, and said with a dry smile, "I'm also afraid that girl Feng is young, so I'll help you out. Now, girl Feng is in charge of many things in the mansion."

"That's good. Otherwise, I'm still because the daughter's family from the Wang family can't even take care of the family."

Mrs. Wang also wanted to go up and slap Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty looked at Wang Xifeng again: "Since it is said that you are the one who made the decision, the father-in-law came to ask for money, but what he wanted was his own money, what are you suing here, what kind of demon are you acting?"

Wang Xifeng tilted her body, and her face turned pale: "Yes, it's my daughter-in-law's fault."

"Why are you yelling at Feng girl? If she doesn't tell me, I don't know that you want so much money. Don't make trouble for me. Now I will ask you, why do you want so much money?" Shi Taijun glared at Jia She, with a bad tone.

"I want money, do business."

"what kind of business?"

"Mother, if a man is doing business outside, mother should stop asking about it. Enjoy your life and wait for your son to buy you good things." Jia She smiled and Shi Taijun was even more angry.

"No, I don't allow it," Shi Taijun patted the armrest and stood up: "It's fine, I don't allow you to use so much money to do business, return the money quickly, do you hear, it belongs to the Rongguo Mansion, Rong There are so many people in the government, but you, Jia She, are not alone."

At this moment, Jia She's smile paused, and then he broke his mouth and stood up: "Since the mother is not sure, the son will not take it. Even if the money belongs to the son himself, the son will return it. After all , The son has a mother in his heart, so it’s okay for the son to suffer a little bit. However, if the son suffers, you can’t let the son’s son also suffer. Since it is said that the money belongs to whoever decides, the mother should not embarrass other people anymore gone."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jia She smiled: "My son remembers that when Mrs. Zhang passed away, she left a large dowry and said it was to be left to Lian'er. Mother kept it for so many years. Shouldn't it be returned to Lian'er?"

Shi Taijun sat down on the chair with a "plop" and made a fuss for a long time, so it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Does this mean that if he doesn’t return Zhang’s dowry to Jia Lian, then Jia Amnesty is justified in taking the 5 taels, and if Jia Amnesty returns the 5 taels, then he has no position Zhang's dowry.

Jia She stared at Shi Taijun's expression, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Lian'er has been married for many years, and the things left by the biological mother should be given to him."

Shi Taijun bit his lip and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang stood aside with her head bowed. There were many things in Zhang's dowry, and they were still with her. Now is not the time to speak.

Only Wang Xifeng opened his eyes wide and stared at Shi Taijun without blinking. He didn't expect that his dead mother-in-law left so many things. It would be great to give those things to himself.

Mrs. Xing sneered: "Old Ancestor, my grandfather wants to return the 5 taels. The things that belong to Lian'er's mother should also be given to Lian'er."

"Shut up." Shi Taijun glared at Mrs. Xing angrily.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Jia Lian walked in with a complicated expression.

When Shi Taijun saw it, he immediately looked at Jia Amnesty, his eyes gleaming sharply.

Jia She smiled: "I sent someone to let Lian'er come over. After all, it was left to him by his mother, so he should take over, right?"

Are you really here waiting for me?Shi Taijun hated it in his heart.

Immediately Ah Fu also walked in, took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, and handed them to Jia Amnesty with both hands.

Jia Amnesty took it and put it on a small table at the side: "Mother, since you said the money belonged to the Rongguo Mansion, then my son will return it. As for Zhang's dowry, you can't say it belongs to the Rongguo Mansion."

Shi Taijun's body was shaking and shaking, and he was speechless for a long time.

Jia Lian glanced at Jia She, and then lowered his head. He really couldn't understand his father. A few days ago, he clearly didn't regard himself as a son, used himself, and abused himself. His daughter-in-law had analyzed it for him. The second sister Nayou was brought in to blackmail Jia Zhen and make Jia Cong enter the family tree, which had nothing to do with him at all.So now, my father is fighting against Shi Taijun for what the so-called biological mother left him. What is the reason for this?

Jia Lian couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the stagnant atmosphere, Shi Taijun rolled his eyes, covered his chest with his hands and moaned, and fell on his back.

"The old lady has passed out." There was chaos in the room.

"What are you shouting for? Hurry up and ask for the imperial physician. By the way, let someone go to the Ministry of Industry to inform the second brother, and say, 'The old lady has passed out again in front of the second wife's wife and her niece Wang Xifeng'." Jia She smiled and ordered.

Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, the fainted Shi Taijun: Really, despicable.
