Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Rong looked at Jia Mu and saw that she didn't stop her, so she left.

Jia Lian waited for Jia Rong to go far away, and then said: "The grandson knows what grandma is going to say. Brother Rong is young, so let him not be involved. Everything will be taken care of by the grandson!"

Grandmother Jia was stunned for a moment: "You have grown up, you have responsibilities, and you know how to cherish the younger generation. Grandmother is so happy! It's just that grandma is not just your grandson. I met Yuan girl today. She has a hard life. There are ghosts and snakes in the palace. You dare to bully her. During the Spring Festival, your second aunt was ill and did not send the routine silver to the palace in time. The queen asked her for [-] silver but failed. Living in the palace feels like years, with fear and sincerity. My heart is very blocked. Until now, I still feel pain and pain!" Jia Lian couldn't answer this question. After a moment of silence, he said: "Since the palace is so difficult, what kind of rules does the old lady have? ?”

Jia Mu sighed: "I think since there is nothing to be done, it's better to try to get out of the palace." When Jia Mu said this, she deliberately stopped to check Jia Lian's face, but she saw that Jia Lian's face was as usual, unmoved.

Mother Jia twitched her lips and finally gave up, and stopped probing: "But Yuan Chun is very stubborn. She said that she has already spent hundreds of thousands, and she gave up halfway. Everything will be lost..."

Jia's mother paused again, staring at Jia Lian expectantly, hoping that Jia Lian could express something.

Filling in 34 within five years has not bought the queen, shouldn't you wake up?What does grandma mean by this? Do you want to sell the entire Jia mansion to fill the empress' trap?

Jia Lian twitched her mouth: "Old lady, I got a piece of news a few days ago. I didn't report it because I was afraid that the old lady would be frightened when she was old. The old men in the northeast began to harass again. Tower, burning, killing, looting."

Jia Mu was stunned: "The court wants to use soldiers?"

Jia Lian bowed and said, "The old lady is wise!"

Jia Mu frowned: "Lian'er?"

Jia Lian said: "I still remember that more than ten years ago, when my grandfather was still alive, it was an old man who knocked on the pass. The emperor used the army to collect debts all over the country. My grandfather emptied the treasury to pay off the debt. I don't know if grandma knows. That time we paid back the debt." How much debt did we owe? Why did my grandfather continue to borrow money? Also, my grandmother knows, how much debt do we still have in the household department?"

Jia's mother turned pale when she heard the words. Jia's mother never forgot everything that happened in those years, and Zong Zong remembered it in her heart.

All of a sudden, Mother Jia was so sluggish that she almost spread out on the imperial concubine's couch, her eyes darkened, and she muttered to herself, "Are you going to collect debts across the country again?"

Jia Lian took a step forward: "I remember that year was the end of the year, and there was heavy snowfall. Grandpa received many distinguished guests. I don't know who came to discuss with grandfather about debts?"

Jia Mu opened her eyes suddenly, and asked fiercely: "Why are you asking this? No, you were only four years old at that time? What can you remember? What do you want to do?"

Jia Lian smiled and spread her hands: "Why is grandma looking at her grandson like this? The grandson is just curious."

But Mother Jia didn't believe it: "Curious?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Yes, I also heard that the Ministry of Household Affairs is cleaning up the accumulated debts one by one and checking the number. I found out the exact news. It is said that for large debtors, iron-handed measures should be taken. As I said today, the imperial court encourages them to take the initiative. For debt repayment, the Ministry of Accounting issued a document stating that those who voluntarily repay will not ask for interest, but only get back the principal. If it is really difficult, after repaying half of the debt, a repayment plan is allowed, and the repayment can be made in five years at most. Those who are stubborn and procrastinate in repayment will be pursued together with the principal and interest, and those who maliciously default on the debt will be ransacked to repay the debt.”

When Jia Mu heard this, her eyes turned black, Yuanyang saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly fed her Shunqi pills, while Hu Po applied the refreshing ointment on Jia Mu's nose and temples.

Jia Lian didn't want Jia Mu to suddenly fall ill, so he hurriedly held Jia Mu's wrist, put his thumb on Jia Mu's tiger's mouth, and slowly injected a little energy into Jia Mu's meridian, slowly dredging Jia Mu's blocked blood in her left chest, and over time After drinking a cup of tea, Jia Mu finally recovered.

Only then did Jia Lian feel relieved, slowly received his merits, and bowed to apologize: "It's because my grandson is too impulsive, I shouldn't mention my grandfather and make my grandmother sad!"

Jia's mother stared at Jia Lian with complicated eyes.Mother Jia had seen the way Jia Lian saved her just now from her old man. At that time, she had just given birth to Jia Min. Because she was over [-] years old and gave birth at an advanced age, she was weak and almost fainted. The imperial physician said at that time that if the mother fainted will be very dangerous.

At that time, Grandpa Guo pinched her tiger's mouth like this, but injected a warm air into her body. At that time, Grandpa Guo lasted for a long time before Mother Jia woke up.Although the Duke later denied it, Jia's mother couldn't keep her eyes open because of her strong desire to survive, but she clearly remembered the changes in her body. Her health gradually improved, and she has never suffered from a serious illness since then.

Jia Lian saved her just now, he got the true biography of the old man!

Sure enough, the old man surpassed his two sons in favor of Lian'er, and taught him the secret method. Could it be that Lian'er was the chosen successor of the old man, not Zhu'er and Baoyu?

This is very different from the old man's original decision, and Jia's mother is a little confused.

However, Mother Jia knew clearly that Jia Lian, the grandson she did not value, saved her life.Mother Jia often suffers from heart palpitations recently. Just now, Mother Jia felt that she was about to go. Suddenly, the heat that had saved her life reappeared. In an instant, Mother Jia felt the depression in her chest gradually dissipate. She breathed like never before. smooth.

Jia Mu's eyes were a little moist, and she stretched out her hands towards Jia Lian: "Lian'er, come here!"

Jia Lian was overwhelmed with flattery, this kind of look, this kind of voice, Jia Lian hadn't seen it for many years.His eyes were a little wet, and he slowly stepped forward and knelt down on one leg: "Grandmother?"

Jia's mother reached out and touched Jia Lian's cheek, Jia Lian was not used to it, so she flinched.Jia's mother also retracted her hand and smiled: "I actually forgot for a moment, Lian'er has grown up, married a wife, and is not used to grandma's touch."

Jia Lian's face turned red: "No, just."

Mother Jia smiled: "It's just that I haven't been close to grandma for many years, right?" Mother Jia squinted her eyes, thinking: "How many years? Fourteen or five years!"

Suddenly, Jia's mother made a decision. She decided to tell Jia Lian her old grandfather's last instructions: "What did you want to say just now? Who came to discuss with your grandfather? I don't remember this. I know how much debt I paid. Because I raised it myself, the total is 180 million, as for what the debt is for, I can only tell you, it is not because your grandfather is greedy for pleasure, nor is it that I, the head of the house, is incapable of losing money."

"As for why we continued to borrow money, because we searched the treasury and pawned off all our wealth, but we only managed to collect 80 yuan. The other 80 yuan was raised by your grandfather and relatives and friends. After the limelight of debt collection passed, relatives We have to live, your grandfather had no choice but to borrow money again to repay the debts owed by relatives and friends!"

Jia Lian suddenly remembered what Jia Zhen said at the border that year, he had secretly donated half of the income of Ningguo Mansion to King Zhongyi County as a fund for him to buy ministers.Jia Lian suddenly had a guess in his mind: "Did grandfather pay the debt for someone?"

Mother Jia was slightly startled, and then avoided Jia Lian's eyes: "I don't know, your grandfather didn't let me know, he only said that we don't need to worry about these debts."

Jia Lian sneered, don't worry?These are all empty words without any evidence.Now that grandfather is gone, who will admit it?

Jia Lian asked: "I know that the treasury has been controlled by my grandmother these years. Grandma can tell me, how much have we borrowed these years? How much cash can be allocated in the treasury?"

Mother Jia was a little embarrassed: "Don't count on the treasury. I can tell you about the debts, except for the 80 that your grandfather borrowed, and later borrowed another 40."

Jia Lian's heart suddenly became angry, and his eyes became cold: "Our mansion earns about [-] yuan every year. If we save some money every year, we can pay off the debts owed by grandfather. Why are we so short? Even the palace doesn't have any money. Such a big expense, right? How did you borrow it? Why do my father and I know nothing about it?"

Mother Jia waved her hand wearily.

Yuanyang cheered and handed a red sandalwood box to Jia Mu, but Jia Mu pointed to Jia Lian: "Here is your second master!"

Jia Lian's eyes showed suspicion, but he still took the red sandalwood box and took off the sliding cover. Jia Lian's eyes shrank suddenly, and it turned out to be an imperial Rongguo Mansion match card. Looking at Jia Mu, Jia Lian felt that his previous life was in vain. He didn't know his grandfather's unique skills, and he didn't know the cards in Jia's mother's hand. Jia Lian guessed that his father probably didn't know either.

In her previous life, Mother Jia probably really treated Dafang as a pig!

Jia Lian's face was pale, staring at Jia's mother, not knowing how to express it.But I heard Jia's mother say: "This is what your grandfather told me when he was dying. If the children and grandchildren in the house are useless, I will hold this pair of cards. If I die, this pair of cards will be buried with me. So, you don't have to be unfair. Neither your father nor your second uncle know about this token."

Jia Lian gritted his teeth: "Is this a token from the Supreme Emperor?"

Jia's mother nodded: "Yes, this is half of the money, and the other half is mortgaged by the household department. For the descendants of the Rong family, whoever holds this thing, the household department will not refuse to borrow money, and will not come to the door to force the debt. That's why your grandfather said , we don’t have to worry about the 80 debt.”

Jia Lian carefully studied the cards and shook his head for a while: "Grandmother, this is just a token. The Rongguo Mansion can rely on it to guarantee the loan, so that it will not be chased by others. However, it doesn't mean that it can never repay the debt for a lifetime? One generation can not change it, two generations People can still suspend, if three generations, four generations?"

While talking, Jia Lian pointed to the sky: "If that person is gone, who will recognize the role of this card exchange?"

Yes, that person is gone, who knows about the bad debt?

Mother Jia's cheeks twitched: "But?"

Jia Lian's heart throbbed suddenly: "Grandmother, can you tell grandson, who do we owe this debt for? Grandson doesn't believe that grandma doesn't know. If grandma doesn't want to tell grandson the truth, then grandson will tell grandma , I will leave the Jia Mansion immediately, whether I disappear voluntarily or be expelled from the clan, I can always be alone. From now on, the Jia Mansion, whether it is good or bad, has nothing to do with me!"

Jia Lian was reborn, and wanted to save Jia's family and avenge her revenge, but if Jia's mother wanted to help outsiders plot against her, make herself a scapegoat, and even ruin her life again, it's okay to bear it!

A man can bend and stretch, although he is not reconciled, but Jia Lian came back from rebirth, not to die again.Nothing is more important than being alive.

Mother Jia's expression was very conflicted: "Your grandfather once told me that even if you die, you can't tell about this matter."

Jia Lian sneered: "Grandfather didn't reveal the family secret to you when he was dying, did he?"

Mother Jia nodded painfully.

Jia Lian said: "If I tell my grandmother that my grandfather has regretted it and that he came back, he entrusted his dream to his grandson, told his family secrets to his grandson, and entrusted his family's rise and fall to his grandson, would my grandmother believe it?"

Mother Jia trembled violently when she heard the words, her lips could not stop trembling: "What are you talking about, when did you meet your grandfather?"

Jia Lian snorted and said, "Grandmother, you have been so smart all your life, how could you not know?"

Jia's mother fell down on the couch. Suddenly, Jia's mother pointed at Jia Lian, her eyes full of surprise: "Could it be that time, the day when Daiyu came, wasn't it?"

Jia Lian nodded solemnly: "Exactly, my grandfather told me that the daughters of Jia's family will die in vain one after another, and then it will be the turn of the sons and grandchildren until the family is wiped out!"

Jia's mother exclaimed: "Nonsense, my Rongguo Mansion is mighty, and the merits are in the country. How can it be?"

Jia Lian also became excited: "That's why the grandfather was not angry, and he entrusted the dream to his grandson. He said that the fate of the Jia family should not be like this. Therefore, he returned against the sky and passed on to his grandson the unique skills of his ancestors who conquered the country. , Tell your grandson to rejuvenate the family and save the people!"

Mother Jia was completely infatuated: "Grandpa, hello, I'm not someone you trust, it's hard for you to lie to me!"

Jia Lian's face was full of embarrassment and he was speechless. I didn't expect Jia's mother to be so jealous!

Jia Mu murmured for a long while before Qingming came over. Since the old man made an exception, she had nothing to hide. Jia Mu cheered up and said: "It was the prince first, and the prince owed the debt first. The emperor loved him very much at that time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to face it." Brothers and courtiers, they said: "Go find your master! The crown prince came home first, holding this token, this is the imperial pen, the only one in the world."

Jia Lian held the right card in his hand, and he was so angry that he was furious. The emperor, this is really a fight between gods, the people suffer, but his own son wants to harm the master. Why don't you ask the master when you change the emperor?

Jia Lian finally knew why Jia's mansion collapsed and how he died.

Strictly speaking, this jade tablet is not a token of the emperor, but a token of Prince Loyalty.He was the same prince at the beginning, so why didn't he know the secret? He didn't dare to resent the emperor's partiality at the beginning, didn't he dare to retaliate against the Rongguo Mansion who had lost his support?

If you are so determined to protect Prince Loyalty, who do you hate?

Grandfather had no choice but to leave half of the crown prince's token in the official department. Grandmother was not afraid of death, and dared to borrow money again. If you take the token of the fallen prince to borrow money, who will you kill if you don't kill me?

Jia Lian also had the intention to cry: "Grandmother, when did you borrow this later money? Who handled it?"

Jia Lian must find out the insider and cut him off before Jinshang finds out.

Jia's mother said: "After your grandfather died, the house raised 80 yuan to repay the debt, and the debt piled up. Your grandfather lived his life vigorously. He couldn't die without making a sound. A piece of broken grass was swept away, right? I also gave it up at the time, son of the emperor. Why should we be in debt? I took out this pair of cards and borrowed 20 yuan to pay for your grandfather’s funeral. Later, because my dowry was pawned to pay off the debt, your grandfather’s leftover money after the funeral was simply not enough Redemption, so I borrowed another 20, so I owed a total of 120 million.”

Jia Mu was stimulated and her face was pale. Jia Lian couldn't ask any more questions, so she comforted Jia Mu and waited for her to fall asleep peacefully before leaving.Jia Lian didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked Zhao'er to deliver a letter to advance Feng Ziying's date to today.

A cousin of Feng Ziying's husband worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Officials, and he copied all the debt lists. Therefore, Jia Lian heard the news that the Ministry of Officials and the Military Department might jointly collect debts, so he asked Feng Ziying to meet with his cousin's husband and wanted to find out. .

The two parties made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and now, Jia Lian couldn't wait for a moment.

When Jia Lian arrived at the Ruyi Building, Feng Ziying and his cousin-in-law came hand in hand, and Jia Lian hurriedly got up to greet her. They were all young people, and they quickly got to know each other.

Feng Ziying's cousin's husband was surnamed Luo, named Luo Shicheng. His father was a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. There are a lot of benefits every year, and it is no worse than a serious two-rank Jinshi.

Jia Lian knew the rules, and it cost money to inquire about the news, except for eating, Jia Lian sealed 200 taels of silver.

Luo Shicheng took it and turned it upside down, returned half of it to Jia Lian, and said: "The real person will not tell lies before, if it is someone else, the 200 taels of silver may not be enough, but you are the brother-in-law's brother, I should help you with this matter." , It’s just that my family has many brothers, and I don’t live up to it, so I took your money to do things for you. I know your affairs, and I have written down your requirements. Credentials, lenders, loan mortgages, I I will find out for you, and I will give you accurate information by tomorrow evening at the latest."

Luo Shicheng was about to leave after speaking: "Brother, let's go first!"

Jia Lian stopped him: "Yan Wang is not short of hungry soldiers, how can the elder brother be hungry when he is doing things for the younger brother?"

Luo Shicheng cupped his hands: "To tell you the truth, Brother Jia, I'm taking a break right now, so I have to hurry up to say hello to the brothers involved, and get some air, otherwise, I won't be able to do this tomorrow." .”

Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled apologetically: "You see how embarrassing this is, or else, tell me, when will we get together again?"

Luo Shicheng waved his hand: "Since we are not outsiders, let me tell you the truth. I guess we won't be free for a while. We work overtime every day. If we want to be free, I'm afraid we won't be able to do so until all the money is recovered and the emperor gets his way. Otherwise, the emperor would chase after him every day to scold the minister for being incompetent, the minister scolded the servant, and the servant scolded Yuanwailang, down to the next level, and finally they all scolded us. Do it, otherwise, you will lose your job instead of scolding a few words."

Jia Lian still wanted to be polite, but Feng Ziying stopped him: "Let's just leave it at that, their affairs have their own rules, don't worry, your affairs will definitely not go wrong."

Jia Lian had no choice but to forget it, and the two politely sent Luo Shicheng out.Looking at the table of wine and food, Jia Lian was a little dumbfounded: "What's the matter, can the two of us eat?"

Feng Ziying giggled: "I thought of it for you a long time ago." Feng Ziying's words fell, and three people came out from the next room laughing and laughing. They were Wei Ruolan, Feng Zidong and Jia Rong.Jia Lian pointed at Jia Rong: "You didn't go home?"

Jia Rong said with a smile: "My father now regards Jia Qiang as his son. They are very good. I went back, but they felt uncomfortable. My son told my second aunt before that my second uncle's house has a lot of houses. Why don't I tell him?" The second uncle can live, and the second aunt agrees, saying that I will live in the cross courtyard, but I dare not tell my father."

Jia Lian smiled: "You like to ask your second aunt to tidy up a yard for you, but you can't cross the yard. Your sister will live in the future. The Banyan Garden and Begonia Garden behind are empty. You can choose which yard you like, and then tell you Uncle Zhao. Just ask him to clean it up for you."

Jia Rong jumped up happily when she heard the words: "Okay, I'll pick one when I get back today."

Feng Zidong babbled with a greasy mouth: "Sit at the table, what are you talking about, this dish is so good, hey, I'm so hungry, the food at Guozijian is really unpalatable."

Jia Rong heard the words while pulling the crispy quail legs into her mouth, while burying the Guozijian: "Oh, don't say it, my stomach hurts, brother, you know why I don't fall in love with the Guozijian and go to school, I would rather hang out at home. Ah, just because the food is unpalatable!"

Jia Lian and Feng Ziying laughed straight after hearing the words: "Okay, okay, eat quickly, no amount of food can stop your mouths."

Jia Rong and Feng Zidong looked at each other with a smile, and buried their heads in eating.

Jia Lian, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan were not greedy for food, but they exchanged glasses and drank. During the dinner, they exchanged new news. Follow me, I want to go too, but my father forbids it, hey, I'm so anxious."

Feng Ziying smiled: "You are just two brothers, shouldn't you stay as a seed?" Wei Ruolan stared angrily: "You are the seed, a stallion and a pig!"

Feng Ziying laughed: "I would like to, but it's not my turn."

Everyone looked at Feng Zidong and smiled, Feng Zidong was so angry that he almost choked.

The author has something to say:

Hastily asked for a bottle of nutrient solution, APP, and the nutrient solution is 250.

Rolling hastily, I don't want to do 250
