Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

"Hey! Where else can it come from, isn't it from the interest money that you despise? I put it early, and there are three or four hundred taels of silver a month, which is enough for daily chewing." Wang Xifeng sarcastically road.

After careful calculation, Mrs. Chen said,

"That's not allowed. Three or four hundred taels seems to be enough, but if the old lady has any idea or something to do, it is definitely not enough. How do you use it?"

Wang Xifeng said casually, "I don't have the money anymore, but the old lady has it. I discussed it with Yuanyang. If there is something important, I can take some unused devices from the old lady's warehouse and take them out as a pawn." It will relieve your worries for a while.”

Jia Amnesty listened to it for a while, and secretly thought that the old lady also had today, and she wanted to leave all her treasures to Baoyu, but she never expected that her most beloved granddaughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng, would be stolen out, and she will pay for it!

Then I thought about it again, no, this Rongguo Mansion is my own, this public house has become an empty shell, won't what I will receive is an empty shell?

He still remembers that when he was young, he used pearls as marbles and threw them around. No one told him that when the family became so poor, let alone the Lai family, relying on the gold and silver in the family, Ten Lai's families can't eat, where did all the money go?

"Where did all the money go?" Jia She asked.

Jia Lian hesitated, opened the account book, pointed out each item, and said,

"In addition to the 1000 taels that the empress in the palace has to send up every two months, there are also various eunuchs who come out every month to fight the autumn breeze. In this way, 1000 taels of silver are spent on the empress every month.

In addition, there is also the second master who is working outside, and he has to send 1000 taels of silver every month..."

Seeing Jia She's angry face, Wang Xifeng interrupted Jia Lian, saying,

"This is what the old lady agreed at the beginning. It was said that the second master was away from home, and the poor family was rich. It was also for the sake of Jia's future, so Gongzhong and Erfang co-authored it. Gongzhong paid 500 taels a month, and Erfang also paid 500 taels per month."

"That's not bad! The father and daughter together cost 500 taels of silver, and they didn't see anything in return. The silver went into the water, and there was a plop. What about them? The flowers are like white flowers!" "

Jia Amnesty endured it, and said to Jia Lian, "Go on, let me see what the cost is!"

Jia Lian continued to read,

"Besides, there is the old lady's yard, where the old lady's meal is transferred every day, at least 500 taels per month.

The other relatively large expenditures in the past two years are the monthly bills of the family members. After so many years, the family members have been generation after generation. Fortunately, they sold a lot because of Sister Lin's affairs before, and now there are also some from Zhuangzi. There are nearly a thousand people, which is also a big expense.

The rest is almost the same as before, and it can be seen that it has been controlled with all efforts. "

After speaking, he looked at Wang Xifeng with a little apology. It can be seen from the account book that Wang Xifeng has indeed tried his best to control the cost of the family. He is also working in the household department. He helped the entire Dakang Dynasty's family, and he knew all about the difficulties here.

Wang Xifeng suddenly felt that she was a little emotional, her eyes were red, and her eye sockets were moistened, but after all, someone was still thinking about what she had done.

"No, I'll go to the old lady's place to make a fuss again, and I'm not allowed to send money to the first lady and the second master in the palace?" Jia Amnesty made a fuss, maybe the old lady agreed?

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said,

"No, it's all right for the second master to work outside. He is also a person who can earn money. He shouldn't be given the last place by the public. If he disagrees, he will return his salary. But the palace officials Empress is the glory of the entire Jia family, and the public is absolutely indispensable."

Jia Lian also helped and said, "What the wife said is that, especially before the empress serves the sage, if there is anything dissatisfied, she can say a word or two in the sage's ears, then we will bear it!" Especially he When serving in the court, the most important thing is the current view.

"What should I do? I can't. I lose money every year. At that time, I am no longer an empty shell, but a debt!" Jia Amnesty stood up anxiously and cursed.

Since Mrs. Chen brought up this topic, she didn't think about the follow-up. Seeing that everyone was frowning and helpless, she waited quietly for a moment and said,

"I have an idea, I'm afraid Lian's daughter-in-law won't agree."

"What idea, just say it and try!" Jia She said.

Chen organized his speech, and said, "Since the public is already a mess, why should we carry it on, why don't we take a drastic drudgery?"

Jia Lian's brain was active, and he was the first to react, saying,

"Madam is such a good idea. Anyway, this big head is in the second room. We can sell it. It is related to the second room master and the lady in the palace. The second room will not dare to let go. If this is the case, why not put this mess on the second room. Let them be taken advantage of!"

"No!" Wang Xifeng stood up excitedly and said, suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Xifeng gradually became conscious, and was awakened by the noisy voices nearby. Her body was very heavy, and even her eyelids weighed as much as a thousand catties. She couldn't open her eyes at all, and could only listen to the sounds outside.

"Old lady, please don't worry, this grandma has never been ill, but she has been pregnant for more than a month, and she has too many daily thoughts, and some injured her fetus, and she fainted when she was emotionally excited."

Yeah?Have a child yourself?Wang Xifeng wanted to touch her stomach, but she couldn't even lift her eyelids, so how could she lift her arms?

"Really? Doctor, my wife is pregnant?" Jia Lian's voice

"That's right, the old man can't even see the slippery pulse."

"Okay, good! It's a great thing for Feng girl to be pregnant, and there are rewards! Lian'er, you can't bully Feng girl, you know? Come back early every day after leaving the yamen, don't go outside to hook up with your bastard wife! "

Wang Xifeng felt that her hand was being held, so she listened to Jia Lian and said, "The old lady said, how dare I bully her!"

As he said that, he stretched his hand into the quilt and put it on her cold stomach. In an instant, a warmth surged to her heart along her stomach, and a tear fell into her temple hair.

After a while, the two hands on the stomach and hands were loosened, and suddenly felt empty.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the side, "Second Master Lian!"

"Lian'er! What are you doing, why don't you get up quickly!"

"Old lady, Lian'er has something to ask you!"

"If you have anything to say, just stand up and say it, why kneel?"

"The grandson doesn't dare. The old lady has to come forward to be a villain. The grandson doesn't dare to stand up and speak."

"Haha, tell me, why do you need me, an old woman, to be a villain?"

Wang Xifeng secretly thought it was not good when he heard this, maybe he wants to...

"Please also ask the old lady to take back Brother Feng's housekeeping rights. The old lady also heard it just now. Brother Feng is not good at raising a baby and his body is weak. Sister Qiao is now seven or eight years old. I only have this one. I absolutely dare not let him have anything to do, but you know Feng Geer's temperament, if the old lady didn't order, she would not let go of this housekeeper, so..."
