My brother's name is Jia Baoyu

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were startled by what they said, and hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?"

Jia Jin didn't answer, but asked instead: "May I ask Lian's second elder brother and second sister-in-law how much the mansion spends every month? How much is the mansion's harvest?"

The two were startled, but they didn't know why he asked this.

Because there were only three people and one Ping'er present, Wang Xifeng wanted to vomit bitterness, but she didn't hide it when she saw Jia Jin's question: "Because we live in another mansion, the mansion pays me 20 taels a month. The monthly silver for the masters and wives is 30 taels of monthly silver, and the girls and young masters in the house are all twelve monthly silver!"

What Wang Xifeng didn't say was that there was far more than this amount in Baoyu's house, but the extra money went to the old lady's private house, so she didn't mention it to Jia Jin.

"Perhaps these silver coins are not much in the eyes of Brother Jin, but the mansion is quite expensive. The monthly silver for the servants who serve in the mansion alone is more than 800 taels a month. This is because the mansion has sold a lot of money during this period of time." The reason why people go out! A few days ago, the second master said that he would hold a poetry meeting with Qingke under his hand, and took away 200 taels of silver at once. It was Aunt Xue’s birthday last month. Although the old lady promised to let her pay, but you I also know that this money can't be paid by the old lady, it is also the money given by the father!"

"The spring land rent in the mansion has just been collected. Because the land property was good last year, it has collected more than 3000 taels of silver, but now it is almost scattered. It is only May, and there are already some people in the mansion. To make ends meet, to put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the master who took over the title, this housekeeper's buddy, your sister-in-law, I would also want to quit the job!"

Jia Lian didn't know the situation at home was like this. In the past, when Sister Feng cried poorly in front of him, he didn't take it seriously. Although he made up for her money this time, it was because Jia Jin told him many cases of profiteering on the way back. , and because Wang Xifeng once mentioned it, he was afraid that the woman would have a wrong mind, so he gave away the money he got, but he didn't know that the situation in this family was so miserable!

Jia Jin didn't take it seriously. He had already seen the extravagance in the mansion when his mother was the housekeeper of the Wang family. It was just that the mansion still had a family back then, but now because of scattered things, it was still at a loss after all. Many, if this continues, sooner or later there will be chaos in the mansion.

"Second brother should know that I have several shops in the suburbs of Beijing, and I have also done some business in merchant ships. When I was in Jinling, I received a letter from the shop manager, saying that a master surnamed Lai made an order with my shop. A batch of Nanyang huanghuali wood, this huanghuali wood is very expensive because of its popularity nowadays, and what Mr. Lai wants is a whole piece, which is even more expensive. The manager couldn't make a decision, so he quickly gave it I delivered the letter."

"I was thinking about which master in Beijing was surnamed Lai. I thought it might be a wealthy businessman from the south, so I didn't care. Now that I have heard what Zhou Rui's family said, I understand a lot. I heard that Mr. Lai The butler's family also bought a mansion in the south. It is said to be a three-entry mansion. It looks more decent than Lian's second brother and second sister-in-law. There are also a large group of maids, mothers-in-law, and nanny at home. This Mr. Lai Although he is a slave in our family, he will be called a master when he goes out."

After Jia Jin finished speaking, the whole hall was silent. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's expressions were both ugly. They are both smooth people, so they knew the meaning of Jia Jin's words.

Lai Sheng's family is all family-born, only Lai Shangrong or Nanny Lai begged Jia Shi's grace before being released and became a good citizen. Where did they accumulate so much money? Didn't they all get money from Jia's family? It was because they knew the source of the Lai family's money that the faces of the two of them became more and more gloomy!

Wang Xifeng was already choking up a little at this time, she thought that she worked hard for the management of the house, but she still couldn't get a good word from others, and she was still struggling for this, and she didn't know if she would have a son and a half in the future!And those slaves she usually looked down on spend a lot of money to live a happy life, how can she not hate it!Rao is a person like Wang Xifeng, he feels aggrieved and sad!

Jia Lian was also indignant, but his expression lasted for a while and then he became depressed. He said weakly: "Then Lai Sheng's mother, Nanny Lai, is a very respectable old man in front of the old lady. We have no proof, even if we are I have reported it to the old lady, I am afraid there is no way!"

Jia Jin smiled, but said: "You and I can't come forward about this matter, especially my father, but uncle can. Brother Lian only needs to persuade uncle, and uncle can come forward to deal with it!"

"Well, to be honest, my father has been taught a lesson in front of the old lady because of the previous two incidents. If my father is allowed to rashly search the property of those slaves, I am afraid it will cause an uproar. Father will definitely not take advantage of the old lady, if the old lady sues someone for being unfilial, the father's title will probably be taken away."

Jia Lian's words were very embarrassing, who said that the word filial piety is more important than the sky in this world, otherwise, why would his eldest son, a well-behaved son, live in this place? It's not because the old lady favors the second uncle.

"It's not difficult, but it's just a pretext for confiscation and rectification. You just need to persuade uncle and promise to give uncle one-third of the furniture confiscated from those slaves, and uncle will definitely listen to you!"

"As for the evidence, it's not urgent. You just need to wait for a while, and someone will hand over the evidence!" After saying this, Jia Jin smiled, showing that he was sure.

When Jia Lian saw him like this, his back felt a little chilly. He remembered that the last time Jia Jin showed such an expression, the Zhen family was in great trouble. Now...

Jia Lian didn't think about it any further, but Jia Jin's position had already been made clear, and he couldn't justify it if he didn't make a statement, so he said, "Yingchun is my younger sister, and it's also our brother and sister-in-law who don't care much about her. After suffering such humiliation, it's just that the second sister's temperament is too cowardly. What does it mean that she is a lonely family without the servant of the family? Is it difficult for our brother and sister-in-law to see her alone? I will tell my father that your second sister-in-law will take care of Yingchun, and we will wait for news from Brother Jin!"

After being kept by Jia Lian and his wife in their yard for dinner, Jia Jin returned to her own yard.

After entering the study, Luo Feng was already waiting there. When he saw Jia Jin coming in, he immediately stood up and was about to salute Jia Jin. Jia Jin quickly pushed him down.

He trusts brothers Luofeng, Luoyu and others, but this trust is not blind at all. He has left a trace of spiritual power in these people. If they have a different heart, this trace of spiritual power is enough to destroy their hearts Fortunately, over the years, these people have been loyal to Jia Jin, and they have not failed Jia Jin's trust in them.

"Third Master, why are you looking for me to enter the mansion this time?" Luo Feng was very surprised when he received the news that Jia Jin wanted him to enter the mansion yesterday. As soon as the Third Master returned to the capital, he hurriedly summoned him, fearing that there might be something wrong. important matter.

Jia Jin first asked some things about those shops, and then began to explain his things about Lai Da's family. After Luo Feng answered, he turned the topic around and asked, "How come there are so many people in the capital recently?" So many refugees?"

Business people are very sensitive to these things. Luo Feng has already noticed this phenomenon. He also intends to talk about this with Jia Jin today, but it is better for Jia Jin to ask first.

"Third Lord doesn't know, there was a spring flood in Hejian Mansion in early April. The newly built dam last year failed to stop the flood and was washed away! The people in the lower reaches died and fled. Some people fled to the border of Kyoto. Fortunately, they survived, but their houses were destroyed, so they had no place to live here, so some of them lived in the Chenghuang Temple in the north. Although our nursery hall also accepted a group of women and children, the number of them this time was too many. ······"

Luo Feng's tone was a little low, and even Luo Yu who was standing behind Jia Jin seemed to be much quieter, and Jia Jin didn't say much when she saw this.

The two brothers Luofeng and Luoyu also came to the capital to sell themselves because they were fleeing. If it weren't for Jia Jin, how could the two brothers have such a good life now!

The two were grateful to Jia Jin, and they had always been very loyal to him. In fact, the master they were looking for had never failed to live up to their expectations!

After a while, Luo Feng turned back, and he continued to Jia Jin: "The court should have received the report from the mansion long ago, but I heard that the saint was unwell a while ago, and he hasn't gone to the court for a long time, where is the fourth prince?" It should have been noticed, but..."

Luo Feng took a look at Jia Jin before replying: "I heard that the fourth prince had some dispute with the saint when he entered the palace last month, and now he was sent by the saint to think about it in the mansion, and there has been no news of the fourth prince for a while! Besides, the sage did not know which alchemist he had recently found to enter the palace. He heard that after taking the elixir practiced by this alchemist, his health has gradually improved! However, the mansion newspaper of the Hejian Mansion has been stranded, so there are many refugees here in the capital. More!"

After Luo Feng finished speaking, Jia Jin fell into deep thought. He has not been in frequent contact with Tu Yanqing in the past few months, but he has not lost contact at all. As you can see now, there is no news at this time but it is good news. After all, some time ago, the four princes were too much in the limelight, and it is safe to be quiet now.

"The silver that can flow in our shop, we can use it to buy rice noodles and other things first, set up a porridge shed for relief in the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city, and then find the doctor in Jishitang in the city to go to see a doctor. After the flood, there will be plagues. I haven't reached this level yet, but I still have to make plans first, as for other arrangements, I can arrange them after I meet the Fourth Prince!"

"Send more people to protect the Jia family and the Lin family during this time. I'm afraid that there will be more and more refugees in this city. Sooner or later, disaster will happen. You ask Mo Yan to inquire about the situation in Hejian Mansion and see what the refugees are doing. Which state capitals did you go to?"

After making all these arrangements, Luo Feng went down in a hurry and left. Jia Jin had a lot of affairs to explain today, all of which could not be delayed at all and related to human life, so he left in a hurry!

As Jia Jin expected, Beijing and central Beijing were not very peaceful in the next ten days. The Jingzhao Mansion had already accepted several cases, all of which were robbery by refugees, but these things only happened in the outer city now, but It has not yet had any impact on the lives of the people in the inner city, but it is obvious that the situation in the whole of Beijing has also become tense!

And in Jia's mansion, a big event happened. Jia She, the grand lord of Rongguo Mansion, copied the Lai's house where Jia Shi's confidant and nanny lived!
