Old things in the Red Chamber
Chapter 142 Xue Jia
The rules of the Jia family were loose, Jia Zheng just nodded and agreed to sell a few Zhuangzi in the morning, and rumors spread all over the city in the afternoon.
People who got the news came to Rongguo Mansion with their ticket numbers, opening their mouths for friendship and shutting up for affection. Jia Zheng had to bring his son to deal with it.
Jia Gu also packed up his things, changed his clothes, and hurried over on horseback.After he arrived, he didn't let the notification go, and went directly to the Rongxi Hall.Slap the box with the ticket number in front of Jia Zheng.He just found a chair and sat down, and never spoke again.
Others looked at it and thought that they would not be able to buy Zhuangzi today, and the tense atmosphere just now eased up.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Gu, besides being uncomfortable, he was also a little annoyed.
The reason why he felt uncomfortable seeing Jia Gu was because what he wanted to sell was his ancestral property. Jia Gu could be regarded as his elder brother. Although the two of them usually didn't speak, Jia Zheng felt a little bit ashamed at this time.The reason for his anger was that Jia Gu put the money here, and no one else would participate in the bidding.
That is to say, selling more and selling less is the same.
The people in the room sat for a long time, drank a few pots of tea, stood up as the sun set, and said goodbye one after another.The officials of Shuntian Mansion nestled in the corner hurried forward, opened the box Jia Gu brought, and counted the ticket numbers inside.The taxes and money were settled, and the documents were issued on the spot.
Jia Gu and Jia Zheng wrote on the documents respectively, and the matter was settled.
From the beginning to the end, the two of them didn't say a word to each other.
Jia Gu took all the paperwork and handed it over to the butler he had brought, and walked away.Jia Zheng went back to the backyard and told Shi Taijun about it.
Shi Taijun was silent for a while, "Since it is sold to him, it is considered worthy of the ancestors. The family property earned by the ancestors is still in the hands of his children and grandchildren."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and did not speak again.Jia Zheng handed over the money to Mrs. Wang, "Keep it well, don't spend it indiscriminately, if the Ministry of Households urges you urgently, take it out and deal with it."
The immediate crisis seemed to be over just like that, but the sunset of the Jia family was completely exposed to the eyes of the wealthy families in the capital.In the past, I still held on to the shelf, but now I don't even have the shelf.Many people secretly pay attention to their family's affairs, wondering when they will sell the land again.If you can rush there earlier to finalize the matter, you must not let that Jia Gu do anything wrong again.
Mrs. Wang returned to her room, opened the box, and looked at the ticket number inside.
Xue Baochai stood aside, watched Mrs. Wang count, and felt that Lord Hou over there was kind.These Zhuangzi did not suppress the price, and the price was very fair.
It's just that Mrs. Wang feels that the money is not enough.
"There are still crops planted on our farms, and they are about to be harvested. It is too stingy to not take out this money."
Xue Baochai looked up at Mrs. Wang, but said nothing.I just quietly discussed with Mrs. Wang, "This month's monthly money hasn't been distributed yet, so I came here to discuss with my wife to see where I can move it, first send the monthly money down, and then talk about it after passing the hurdle in front of me."
Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied, "When Feng girl was in charge of the house, there was no such thing. The monthly money can be paid every time. I don't have any spare money here. You can see that even though there is such a sum of money, master Don't let it move, you can figure out a way by yourself."
Xue Baochai knew what she meant, and in the final analysis, he still wanted to fill it with his own money.
"There are a lot of people in the family now, or let's release some..."
"We only buy people from our homes, and we never let people out. You can't say these things again."
Xue Baochai sighed, "In our yard, there are a few girls who are also old, and it's time to let them out to match the boys."
Mrs. Wang thought about this matter, but didn't intervene too much, "You keep Xiren, he is the aunt I have appointed for Baoyu, you should pay attention to this matter, find a chance to make her face consummated and forget it. "
Xue Baochai paused for a while before agreeing carefully, "Yes, I'll listen to you."
Mrs. Wang drank some tea, pulled Xue Baochai to sit beside her, and said with all her heart, "My son, it's not my aunt urging you, you and Baoyu will be married for a long time, why haven't you made any progress yet. Fortunately, a girl was born a few months ago, if it were a kid, I would feel bad for you too."
Xue Baochai could only choke up, "Auntie..."
"That's what the saying goes, you have to be hard on your own to forge iron, or else you send someone out to look for it, and I will pay attention to you here. If there is a gynecologist, no matter how much money it costs, we will invite someone to give it to you. It is also your blessing to have a man and a half woman if you take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Xue Baochai suddenly had an idea, "Ma'am, I want to say something earlier. There are tens of thousands of people in my family. I don't know how many things I have to do every day. I only feel back pain every day. My daughter-in-law also wants to take care of herself." Raise well, so the family is entrusted to the wife in advance, and when the time comes, she will be pregnant and give birth to the child, and then take over the burden on the wife's shoulders."
Mrs. Wang was patting Xue Baochai's hand with her hand, but when she heard Xue Baochai's words, she paused.
"In the final analysis, you are also for the sake of your heirs. This is the big deal. Anyway, these things in the family can't be compared with children. It's just that I'm old, after all, and now I feel dizzy when I hear the housekeeper. Otherwise, you can take over , let your elder sister-in-law and your third younger sister take care of it. Let them ask you if there is anything to do."
Xue Baochai still declined, "I'm thinking about entrusting this matter to my younger sister and sister-in-law. Besides, the third girl should learn to be a housekeeper now, and in the future..."
"Don't talk about it, this is the way to do it." He said to Ying'er, the girl who followed Xue Baochai, "You persuade your master, the heirs are the most important thing."
Waiting for the master and servant to come out of Mrs. Wang's yard, seeing no one around, Ying'er complained to Xue Baochai in a low voice, "After talking for a while, the wife didn't say where to get the monthly money. It’s not a small number.”
How could Xue Baochai not know this truth, "When Feng girl was the housekeeper, she always put dowry in it, and I laughed at her for not being a housekeeper. Who knew that this matter would fall to me today."
"Could it be that we have to put money in it too?"
"What should I do if I don't fill in this month? Those at home, those outside the master's housekeeper, none of them can be offended. You take out my dowry money first, and send down the monthly money first."
"Grandma, as long as we get started, we won't be able to close the tail in the future."
"Why don't I know this truth? I'll be sick in two or three days. Let's hide for a while and leave this matter to the eldest grandma and the third girl. In the end, they have no choice but to ask their wife."
What Yinger wanted to say was that the wife would not care about this matter at all.But at present, there is really no other way except this method.
But Xue Baochai didn't have a chance to use this method. Her brother was going to marry a wife a few days later, and Mrs. Xue was old, and she didn't have any capable servants around her.A lot of age is still working hard, and things are often full of loopholes, so I have no choice but to ask Xue Baochai to go home.
Xue Baochai quickly packed up the things and asked Mrs. Wang for instructions.He returned to his mother's house with his maid.
Her sister-in-law Li Wan is a penny-pinching figure.She has never done anything to pay for it. There is no money in the house, so she just chased Xue's house.
The Xue family is marrying a daughter-in-law, and it is a happy event.She is a widow, and it is not easy for her to enter a house.But every time she always stood outside the door, once or twice, Mrs. Xue didn't feel unlucky yet.After a long time, Mrs. Xue became very angry.
"My son is marrying a new daughter-in-law. She is a widow. If she is not staying at home, what is she running around for?"
Thick-skinned, Xue Baochai is no match for her sister-in-law.He had no choice but to take money from his own dowry to fill the hole in the Jia family.
It was not easy for relatives to do this. After Xue Pan found out, he got drunk and cursed in the yard.
"Others don't know how much money his family copied out, but our family moved things. They can see clearly. At least three to five million yuan is there. Now it's crying poor again..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xue quickly held his mouth.
"You, remember that misfortune comes from your mouth. Don't say anything, drink a few sips of yellow soup, and forget who you are."
Xue Pan was even more angry when he was drinking.
"I said earlier, who can't marry a character like my sister, but marry their family. Besides how much money they took from our family, you always say that I spend money lavishly, and the money I spent , what was taken away from their family is nothing."
Mrs. Xue couldn't face her son's accusation, so she burst into tears.
Xue Pan is a bastard, but he still has no bottom line in his treatment of his mother and sister.This matter was never mentioned again.
As soon as Mrs. Xue persuaded her son to go back to the room, she saw her daughter in a daze.
"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, he's drunk too much, he doesn't know what he's talking about."
Xue Baochai could only sigh, "Brother is just depressed, just say it out. If after a while, sister-in-law comes in and finds out about this muddled account, she doesn't know what to do."
"My son, don't worry, your sister-in-law is also a girl from a good family. We are all businessmen and don't care about money."
Although Xue Baochai didn't say a word, she didn't think so in her heart. The girl from a merchant's family must be very particular about money.In the early years, when I was in Jia's house, I was secretly laughed at by their mother-in-law. It was not because I subconsciously weighed their family's ornaments with silver and was looked down upon when evaluating their financial resources.
"Mom, from now on, nails should be nails, riveting should be riveting, Jia's family is Jia's family, Xue's family is Xue's family. Otherwise, no matter how easy my sister-in-law is, she won't be able to be a relative after a long time."
People who got the news came to Rongguo Mansion with their ticket numbers, opening their mouths for friendship and shutting up for affection. Jia Zheng had to bring his son to deal with it.
Jia Gu also packed up his things, changed his clothes, and hurried over on horseback.After he arrived, he didn't let the notification go, and went directly to the Rongxi Hall.Slap the box with the ticket number in front of Jia Zheng.He just found a chair and sat down, and never spoke again.
