[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

The flowing water banquet for seven consecutive days was extravagant and noisy, as if the Jia family had returned to the center of power and wealth overnight.

Of course, the truly powerful and powerful dignitaries are not recognized, but more people in this world have always been middle and low-level people. If they are unwilling to make a high profile, they want to take the opportunity to make a relationship. There is no way, but the Jia family is so open to welcome guests from all over the world, so they can seize the opportunity.

This clansman, that old relative, this official, that merchant...there is a constant stream of people coming and going, and the recipients of gifts are even more soft-handed. I am so happy that Mrs. Wang can't hold back the corners of her mouth, showing her funny openness. tooth.

After the water banquet was over, the counting was extremely important, the gifts returned filled the entire room, all kinds of jewelry, jade, antiques and curios were available, and the seductive light dazzled the eyes at a glance.

Mrs. Wang's eyes showed obsession and greed, and she immediately ordered the girl, "Go back and tidy up a room, and ask someone to carefully register these things one by one and move them back..."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Xing quit. "Why do you move back to your second room? Our Rongguo Mansion has never separated, and all income should be charged to the public house. Why do you want to keep the second room all to yourself!"

Charge into public?dream!

Mrs. Wang sneered, raised her chin slightly, and showed her arrogance, "Why? Just because my mother crawled out of my intestines! You want to get your hands on the things you gave to your mother? Carefully, your hands were chopped off!"

Mrs. Xing shrank her neck in fear, but she was very unwilling, so she looked at the old lady and cried: "Old lady, you have to judge. Although your mother is a child of the second room, she wears clothes for eating snacks." Which one didn't come from our mansion? Besides, how many times did she ask for money back and forth in the palace these years? Once she gave it, it was three to five thousand, how many times did she give it? It added up to a hundred thousand!"

"Our family spent so much money pampering her and supporting her, but in the end, when she became successful, she turned her face and refused to recognize her? The whole family paid for her, but what I got back was her second wife. How can there be such bullying? Isn't this a white-eyed wolf!"

These words really reached the hearts of the Dafang couple.

When I asked for money, I didn't see any division of the big house and the second house. I kept saying that it was our girl, but now it's clear?It's so deceiving!

Rao Wang Xifeng, who is her niece, has shut up now and doesn't speak for Madam Wang, so it can be seen that she is quite unhappy in her heart.

"Shut up!" Mother Jia glared at her angrily, "Speaking is never a taboo, you can scold your mother?"

Mrs. Xing choked, and seeing the old lady's appearance of favoring the second wife, she was so angry that her chest hurt immediately, and she elbowed Jia She who was next to the pestle, "Master, you have to say something!"

"What did you say?" Jia Amnesty suddenly opened his eyes with a dazed look on his face.

He is staring at him in a daze. He has been drunk every day during the running water banquet, and he has not recovered yet. Everyone around him is already red-faced, but he has a little bit of brain. I wish I could sit and snore on the spot.

He didn't know how to sit, and the whole person was slumped on the chair, looking like the mud couldn't support the wall.

Mother Jia became angry when she saw it, and she couldn't hide the disgust on her face.

After Jia Lian recounted the matter in a few words, Jia Amnesty frowned, and remained silent for a while without opening his mouth. His eyes were still a little dull, and he didn't know if he was thinking or the man's mind was already drunk. A mess.

After a while, until everyone was almost impatient, he finally opened his mouth, "It's okay if the second room doesn't want to confiscate it."

"master!"

Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian both looked stunned. A person who is usually greedy for money has changed his personality now?Is this really drunk?

Only then did Mother Jia curl her lips slightly, and then she heard him go on to say: "The money spent on your mother these years belongs to the part of our first house, please return the second house as soon as possible. After the work is over, the property will be divided into one share, and the second house will be paid." Just move out."

The smile froze on her face, "What are you talking about? Do you want to separate?" Mother Jia was trembling with anger, pointing at his nose and yelling on the spot, "You bastard! Unfilial son! My old lady is not dead yet. Well, you want to separate? Then you might as well strangle me with a rope first! Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you? Every day, two eyeballs get stuck in the money hole and can’t get out Yeah, you even want to kill your own mother for that little thing!"

"Calm down, old lady. You can't be sad and angry at such an old age." After finishing speaking, Jia Zheng looked at his elder brother with disapproval, and accused, "Gold, silver and money are just things outside the body. What is the value of what is not brought by life and not taken by death? How can it be compared with the relationship of flesh and blood? Big brother is confused!"

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes at him directly, and chuckled, "It's your second wife who takes the best advantage. Naturally, the second brother can stand up and talk without pain in his back."

The implication was nothing more than pointing at his nose and scolding him for being a good boy for taking advantage of it.

Jia Zheng blushed for a moment, and couldn't hide his embarrassment: "Brother misses me so much? You and I have been brothers for decades, don't you know what kind of person I am? Why bother to humiliate me with this! "

"That's right, the second younger brother never asks about such mundane matters, but elder brother, I was so impatient that I couldn't choose what to say." Then the topic changed, "If that's the case, let's take that thing out and we two brothers will think about it. The second brother won't care, right? Brother, I don't want to take advantage of you, I just want to be fair, and a reasonable person like the second brother must be able to understand me."

Well, it was taken into a ditch.

Having said that, can Jia Zheng say "no"?He has always been the person who values ​​face the most, and it is impossible for him to put himself in a position to talk about it. Besides, he claims to be a scholar, and scholars are all noble and regard money as dung.

Immediately, Jia Zheng made a gesture to order people to distribute the property.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang quickly jumped out, "No! I don't agree! Those are all brought by the empress, they should belong to our second room..."

Jia Zheng was already annoyed by Jia Amnesty, and when he heard her words, he slapped her across the face, "Stupid woman! Greed is the root of all evil, and it's all because of your greed." It's the stupid woman who created a rift between us brothers! What the elder brother and sister-in-law said is reasonable, half of what the empress spent these years belonged to the eldest house, and now the income should be shared equally, so don't do it again a shame!"

That kid Jia Lian put on another high hat in a hurry, and said with admiration and admiration: "Second Master is really worthy of being a scholar. He is reasonable, sensible, and high-minded. He is the benchmark of my generation. It's a pity that my nephew has been muddle-headed so far. It's too late, when my nephew has a son, he must be urged to learn from the second master from an early age!"

Thanks to Mr. Xun for the months of being abused by Mr. Xun, now even flattery and wearing a high hat seem so sincere, look at the use of these small words, perfect.

Seeing the surprised eyes of his dominatrix and his father, Jia Lian felt very complacent.

"Okay!" Mother Jia slapped the table heavily, and reprimanded Jia Zheng, "Who taught you to beat your wife? No matter how bad she is, she will marry you for decades and serve you. Those who give birth to children should have a share of hard work without credit, how can you be so stupid?"

Jia Zheng quickly lowered his head, "Son is reckless."

Mrs. Wang didn't feel moved at all. In the past few decades, she didn't see this old lady helping her to speak. Now, after all, it's just because her daughter has gained power. She is now the mother of the empress.

It was the time when the spring breeze was proud, but now seeing the attitude of the old lady, Mrs. Wang raised her chin even higher, as if she was defiant. It was in vain for her to endure humiliation for half her life, but now she has finally come to the end of her hardships.

How can a fine old lady like Jia's mother not see the change of Mrs. Wang?He couldn't help frowning secretly, but he didn't say anything after all, he just suppressed his dissatisfaction and turned his gaze to Da Fang.

"None of you need to think about that thing anymore, move it into my private treasury, and divide it up slowly after I die."

Jia She was immediately annoyed, "The old lady is really calculating! Which one of us in the whole house doesn't know that your old man's private treasury has saved precious phoenix eggs for you? They entered your private treasury to follow up." What's the difference between the pockets of the second room? Points? It would be a blessing to give us a few pieces of heavy old furniture in the future!"

Mrs. Wang wanted to object at first, but she just wished she could sleep in those piles of treasures every day, how could she be willing to ask others to take them away?But looking at Jia Shen's unyielding attitude, she also knew that the old lady's proposal was the best solution, no matter how stupid Jia She was, he couldn't go to the old lady's private treasury, right?But it was temporarily stored, and after a few days, it was secretly transferred out without anyone noticing.

So she closed her mouth, and sat there watching her nose, nose, nose, and heart, watching the old lady scold that bastard secretly.

"My old lady is useless to talk anymore? If you continue to be so stubborn and rascally, I will risk my face and beat the Dengwen drum myself to sue you for disobedience!"

"Okay, okay!" Jia She laughed back angrily, "It's fine if you are young and partial to your second child, he is hardworking and studious, and I'm just a bastard waiting to die, I can't compare to him, if you prefer it, just prefer it ...Who would have thought that things are going well now, and things are getting worse... Our eldest brother can't hide when we have to work hard, and we can't miss it when we get benefits... Leeches are not as good as this kind of blood-sucking! It's not just blood-sucking, but also If you cover your mouth and don't allow people to shout or tell people, there is no reason for it! Why don't you just peel and bleed all the mouthfuls of our first room and let the second room eat them clean!" After saying that, he fled away.

Jia Lian vaguely saw that his father's eyeballs were red, and he felt uncomfortable, so he also walked out the door.

Once the two men left, the remaining two women, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, naturally followed suit and followed.

Mother Jia hadn't recovered from Jia Amnesty's outburst, she watched the backs of those who left the big room one after another, her trembling hands covered her chest, "Nizi...Nizi..."

Yuanyang hurriedly helped Shunqi and comforted her.

Mrs. Wang wanted to add fuel to the flames, "The old lady should show some color to them, all of them have gone against the sky, how dare they throw face at the old lady..."

"Shut up! Please calm down!" Jia Zheng glared at her angrily, and then said to the old lady: "Brother, they have never treated the empress badly in the past, but if the empress opened her mouth, there is nothing wrong with it, and now there will be something wrong." It is human nature to be dissatisfied, the old lady might as well just do what the elder brother wants...it is just a little property, if it can be exchanged for the peace of the family and the harmony of the children and grandchildren, it will be worth it."

"You're just too honest, you let him go when he makes a fuss, won't he be able to handle it in the future? My own mother is still alive and well, I think he dares to go to heaven!" Mother Jia snorted coldly: "Furthermore, they don't have to worry about food or drink in the mansion. They have everything they need to open their mouths. Is it true that they are missing something? Now I'm holding back and don't want that big house to handle too much. Knowing that their father and son are prodigal playthings, no amount of money will be enough for them to lose, and if they are given today and tomorrow, they will spend their money in a waste of money, no amount of property will be enough for them to lose!"

"You guys are young, you only know what's going on right now, but I can't help but plan well for you, whether I understand it or not, I can't let him do whatever I want."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing: "The old lady has a motherly heart and tried her best to plan for us as children...Brother, he is really ignorant."

Mrs. Wang next to her couldn't help curling her lips, some fools would believe her nonsense.

Back in her own room, Jia Lian sat down and drank three cups of herbal tea in a row before finally suppressing the anger in her heart, and then she collapsed on the kang with a heavy face, not knowing what to think something.

Wang Xifeng sat next to him, stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Is that how you recognize it?"

admit?Why?Their first wife was willing to bleed because the second bedroom and the old lady kept saying that the whole family would be prosperous, and the result?Do you want to throw it away after you use it up?

"Dream!" Jia Lian spat viciously, gnashing his teeth, "I dare to fish out the money that fell into the frying pan, but we don't dare to ask for what should belong to us without reason!"

"Then what are your plans? The old lady's heart is in her armpits, but everything that enters her private treasury is reserved for Baoyu. It's not easy for us to get our hands on it."

Jia Lian didn't speak, and he didn't think of any countermeasures for a while.

But seeing the coldness in Wang Xifeng's eyes, she leaned into his ear and lowered her voice and said, "Mandarin ducks always hold the key to the old lady's private treasury. That girl is loyal to the old lady and has a cautious temperament. It's rare to get her hands on it." Very, but the public warehouse is not impossible... Why don't we secretly move all the warehouses in the public to him, otherwise, if things go on like this, only a few years from now, the only ones that will fall into the hands of our big house I'm afraid there won't even be a single copper plate left!"

The second room has always been relentless or distressed when using things from the office, and the old lady pours some good things into her private treasury from time to time... When the old lady goes to separate the family in the future, there is nothing left in the office. It’s hard to say, nine out of ten it’s just an empty shell.

Jia Lian is also a courageous and wealthy master. Hearing his daughter-in-law's bold proposal, he didn't think it was wrong at all. But that's all, just do as grandma said... the old lady sucks our blood with the second room, don't blame us for thinking about ourselves, there is no reason why we can't run when we stand up and get beaten." Then he said violently A carp straightened up to go out.

"Where are you going again?" Wang Xifeng thought he was going to hang out somewhere again, and her willow eyebrows immediately stood up.

"I have to find a way out, so many things can't be made to disappear out of thin air, can they?"

"What do you mean... a switch?"

Jia Lian smiled, "In the past few days, think of a way to get a copy of the warehouse registration booklet, and wait for me to find the way..."

"Then you should be careful, the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family is in this line of business, so don't let it out."

Jia Lian answered, but the man had already left the door, obviously very anxious.

As soon as he left on his front foot, Ping'er came in with a box on his back foot.

When Wang Xifeng took a look, he suddenly regained his spirits, "Have you got all the bills for this month?"

"Of course, who dares to default on the money owed to our grandma in the Rongguo Mansion." Ping'er put the box on the kang table and pushed it in front of her, "Grandma, just order."

"You don't have to worry about it, can I worry about you doing things?" Wang Xifeng randomly picked up the full amount of money twice, and sighed: "This is really a good deal with a lot of money, just lying in the house and waiting for the sky to fall. There is no difference in money, but...the capital is still a little less, if you can make more capital, how many times will the income be multiplied?"

Since he intends to prepare a retreat for his family, it is natural that there is no shortage of money, and seeing the attitude of the old lady and her good aunt today, their eldest family does not need to expect much from the mansion.

Ping'er looked at her in surprise, "Grandma's appetite is getting bigger and bigger now, but we don't have any extra cash in our hands, and this big head is still holding down the monthly money from the house. , no matter how much money you want to find, there is nowhere to find it.”

Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, then got up and was about to go out, "You put away your things carefully, and I'll go find the money right away."

"This person... is still a passer-by."

Ting Lan Court

Lin Shiyu was practicing the piano, and Lin Daiyu took a scroll and leaned against the window to watch quietly. The two sisters were immersed in their own worlds, but they were extremely harmonious and at ease.

Just in response to the sentence - the years are quiet and peaceful, peaceful and leisurely.

When Wang Xifeng walked to the door and saw this scene, she subconsciously stopped. She felt like a sinner if she went in to disturb others at this moment. Just when she was hesitating, Lin Shiyu had already seen her.

"If you don't come in when you get to the door, do you want me to invite you in person?"

Only then did Wang Xifeng lift his feet into the room and sit down, sighing: "We all live under the same roof, and there is already a lot of noise outside, but you are still so peaceful and leisurely here."

"Listen to what you said, what's going on?" Lin Shiyu couldn't help being curious, it was when she should be happy, why did she still quarrel?

Wang Xifeng didn't hide it either, she just described the conflict just now vividly, and at the end she didn't forget to ask the two sisters to comment, "Tell me, isn't this obviously taking us as a fool? We have been cooperating for a long time and paying for it." The contribution is all for our first wife, and the benefits are all for the second wife, what kind of reasoning is this?"

Lin Shiyu also didn't know what to say, Erfang was purely eating meat but refused to share a mouthful of soup, so greedy and selfish, wouldn't he be afraid of killing himself?And the old lady... There are ten fingers that are different in length. It is not incomprehensible to be eccentric, but it is too much to be eccentric for this reason?An honest person can't be called such a bully, not to mention that the family members in this big house are not the honest people who are slaughtered by others. The old lady is not afraid that they will make troubles and make the house restless?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this bad thing." Wang Xifeng waved his hands irritably, and said, "I came to discuss another matter with you..."

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Lin Shiyu was really surprised, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I just want to ask you to borrow some money..."

borrow money?But it's really a strange thing.

"Where does this come from? No matter what, your Second Mistress Lian can't be so downcast that she wants to borrow money from others, right?"

"It's not that there are any expenses, but it's just that there is a lack of capital. I have a good deal with a lot of profits here. The more capital invested, the faster the interest will be turned over..."

The more Lin Daiyu listened, the more suspicious she looked, "What kind of business can be profitable?"

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Wang Xifeng hurriedly explained: "How can I fool you two? It's true! How would you know that such a noble girl raised in the inner courtyard is full of poor people? , those who look down on the sick and can’t afford food... What can I do if I don’t have money? Naturally, I can only borrow money from others to save my life.”

"Your so-called business is usury?" Lin Daiyu's expression changed on the spot, "There is really nothing in this world that your second grandma Lian dare not do. If you don't want to live, you can tie it up with a hemp rope and pull it down." Why do you insist on dragging our sisters to die with you? My sister and I have nothing to do to your Second Mistress Lian!"

This outpouring of anger only made Wang Xifeng stunned.

"What do you mean by that? What's not dead? Why did I drag you all to die?"

Lin Shiyu couldn't stop shaking her head, because this person dared to reveal this so-called business without any cover, it can be seen that she really didn't know the seriousness of the matter in her heart, and she was really ignorant and fearless.

"The laws of the Qing Dynasty expressly prohibit anyone from lending loan sharks. Once found, they will be severely punished. If there is a death because of this, the person who lends loan sharks should also be killed."

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale instantly.
