[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

"Every family in the capital has been borrowing money all the time. It's already a convention, but our family repays the money. Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?"

What Jia Zheng said was also reasonable. Mother Jia was not wavering, but just looked at the two grandsons, wanting to know what they had to say.

"Grandmother." Jia Zhu cupped his hands and replied, "We borrowed money from the treasury, and we have to pay it back sooner or later, even if we don't pay it together, my grandson hopes to pay it back one after another, at least to show some sincerity. "

But Jia Lian knew that when this year was old, although the new emperor hadn't been confirmed yet, it was absolutely impossible to deny the money. Instead of waiting for the Jia family to squander it, it would be better to return it, at least let the higher-ups think that the Jia family is interesting and save some incense .

When Jia Zheng and Jia She heard that they were paying back one after another, his expression softened a little, but he didn't want Jia Zhu to say immediately: "But the money grandson hopes to take it out of the public, and use it exclusively for repayment."

"Jia Zhu!" Jia Zheng patted the table and said angrily, "Don't go too far!"

Jia Zhu's lips moved, and she was silent for a while before saying: "Maybe it's because of you, father, what my son said next is even more exaggerated..."

Immediately afterwards, he heard him say: "The grandson wants to separate!"

Jia Lian opened his eyes wide and looked at Jia Zhu in disbelief.Even the others fell silent, and the whole room was silent for a while.

Jia Zhu ignored her, and only looked at her grandmother and said: "The grandson also has ambitions, but the Rongguo Mansion has given him enough things. Now the act of the second wife is like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, and the grandson has never been able to accept it calmly. Grandmother agrees."

"Pearl..." Mother Jia tightened her fingers on her walking stick, and said with complicated eyes, "This is Grandma's decision, it has nothing to do with others..."

"So the grandson asked the grandmother to take it back."

The old lady was silent, Jia She glanced at the second brother who didn't know what he was thinking, snorted "boring", then stood up, said: "I still have something to do, you continue." After finishing speaking, he didn't care what others thought. just went out.

Jia Lian saw her father ran away so capriciously, and the old lady looked unhappy, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with an awkward smile: "Father...maybe he is in a hurry to urinate."

"..."

Being disturbed by Jia Lian, the atmosphere was not so tense. Mother Jia sighed and said resolutely: "As long as I am alive, it is absolutely impossible to allow you to separate."

"grandmother……"

"Stop talking." Mother Jia looked at Jia Zhu seriously, "I won't change my mind."

"You don't need to separate the family, the second room can move out of Rongxi Hall." Jia Zhu turned to look at her father, and asked persuasively, "Father, what do you think?"

Jia Zheng looked at his eldest son expressionlessly, and said perfunctorily, "Some things you don't take for granted..."

Jia Lian saw that this family was definitely inseparable, and he was too embarrassed to be here, so he said, "Grandson doesn't care about everything now, so I won't participate in the discussion. I am also a little anxious to urinate, so I will leave first." down."

Then, in order to show that he was really in a hurry to urinate, Jia Lian held his lower abdomen, thinking that pinching his legs would be too insignificant, so he gave up, and ran away from the grandmother's house without distraction.

"..."

After being speechless, Jia Zhu looked at her grandmother again, and said earnestly: "My grandson thinks that no matter what the reason is, since ancient times, the eldest son is the first, and the official heir of the Rongguo Mansion is Lian'er. There is nothing wrong with what the uncle said. Repaying the owed silver with the money from the public office is indeed beneficial to the future of the grandson. Since the grandson has already accepted the benefits, he must know the importance. Regardless of the division of the family, you can also divide the things that should belong to the big house in the mansion. Isn't it?"

Mother Jia was silent for a long time, then she suddenly looked at her second son and said, "Zheng'er, what do you think?"

"A son depends entirely on his mother."

Jia Mu took a deep breath and sighed: "You all go back, I know what I know."

Jia Zhu also knew that it was impossible to directly finalize the allocation of the Rongguo Mansion just because of the words of a junior, and just leave respectfully and leave.

On the other side, Jia Lian, who hurried back to his yard, was really in a hurry to urinate. After he came out of Gongfang, he remembered that he had asked Jia Zhu to see if there was any suitable person to help the Zhang family to invite him back. forgot to ask.

But today it was getting late, and Jia Lian went back to the bedroom at this moment.

As soon as Wang Xifeng saw him coming in, she asked curiously: "The story about Big Brother Zhu angering the elders has been spread all over the house, what is the reason?"

"Wait a minute."

After Jia Lian washed up, he changed into clean obscene clothes, and when he went to bed, only the husband and wife were left, he said to Wang Xifeng, "I discussed with Big Brother Zhu to pay back some money, and when we go back to your mother's house, he will let my sister-in-law look at it." I checked how much money I had in the public house, and the elders knew about it..."

"Why do you suddenly want to pay back the money?" Wang Xifeng definitely didn't want to let this matter go, but she felt that Jia Lian and Big Brother Zhu were not aimless people, so she didn't express her opinion directly.

Curling Wang Xifeng's hair with her fingers, Jia Lian said flatly: "Instead of the money being squandered in messy places, it's easier to pay back the bills. After all, it's troublesome for the housekeeper to pay the money in various names."

Wang Xifeng also worked as a family member, so she knew about the situation in Rongguo Mansion, but they were all juniors, so there was often nothing they could do, anyway, they were not short of money...

"Grandmother may be looking for you tomorrow."

"What do you want from me?" Wang Xifeng was a little puzzled, "Isn't sister-in-law the housekeeper now?"

Jia Lian also guessed, so he didn't say too much, but said: "It may be in the future, and you will know when the time comes."

"Stop it, cut it!" Wang Xifeng threw off Jia Lian's arm and rolled into the bed, "I didn't ask you, so why don't you tell me in advance?"

Jia Lian squirmed to her side and said with a smile, "The first day you knew me?"

"Hmph." I knew it, so Wang Xifeng didn't ask any more questions, and stretched out his hand to push the person, saying: "Stay away, it's hot!"

"What's the heat, it's so refreshing in autumn!" After finishing speaking, Jia Lian hugged him directly, and said with a malicious smile: "Why, our second grandma doesn't want to have children when she returns home."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she threw the quilt aside, turned around and looked at Jia Lian with gritted teeth, and said, "Sheng! Second Master Lian, if you still make me unable to conceive! I will laugh at you from now on!"

……

The husband and wife quarreled a bit late last night, and it was a bit difficult when they got up to say hello, but there was no way, the children had already woken up, if the two of them stayed in bed, they would definitely lose face.

Also because of some indescribable marks on her body, Wang Xifeng didn't ask the maid to help her get dressed, but only let the maid come in after she put on her inner clothes to take care of her grooming.

Before going out, the couple couldn't help but yawned, and then went out to face their two daughters again with a smile on their faces.After breakfast, the family of four went to the old lady's yard together.

The insiders acted as if what happened yesterday didn't happen, and said some unnutritious words with a smile.Jia Zhu and Jia Lian left early on the pretext that they were going to work.

Before Jia Lian could ask, Jia Zhu said: "Before you asked me to find Mr., when I went out yesterday, someone had already selected him. He was a scholar who failed in the previous subject. His talent is enough to enlighten children, and his character is obvious to all. of."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhu asked the servant to pass the man's name card to Jia Lian.Jia Lian took it over and wrote it down carefully, then put it away with a smile, and said, "Please trouble Brother Zhu, I will tell my cousin and them in the afternoon."

Jia Zhu nodded, and then asked Jia Lian how he was getting used to the Four Translation Hall in the past two days as he walked.

"The Fourth Translation Hall is not the Honglu Temple, and I'm a newcomer, so I don't have anything to share with me. I'm going to talk to some missionaries when I'm free."

"There are many books in the Shuchang library. If you need them, I will help you find them."

When Jia Lian heard this, he laughed and said, "That's a good relationship, but there must be no scripts in a place like Shuchangguan?"

"There are history books."

"Unofficial history is also fine." Let's forget about the serious history books for now, and try again when he really doesn't have any satisfactory words.

The men had all left, and there were only women left in the back house. Wang Xifeng was fine now, and she didn't concentrate so much when she was sitting there listening to the elders chatting. In addition, she was a little tired last night, so she was unavoidable.

"Feng girl, you're back too, why don't you help your sister-in-law Zhu take care of the affairs of the mansion."

When Wang Xifeng heard the old lady's words, he laughed immediately, and said: "You don't want to see your granddaughter-in-law taking a break, and you just came back!"

"It's not such a tiring job." Mother Jia's eyes were also a little black, which was because she turned around last night, but fortunately, she also had some results, so she said directly: "Our family is going to pay back some money owed. Now that you know, let's see how much money the public has, so we can see how much is suitable."

"You said it, grandson's daughter-in-law will naturally take orders." After speaking, Wang Xifeng looked at Li Wan with a smile, and said, "Don't think that sister-in-law Zhu is in my way."

"If you get in the way, I'll be a stone on the road!"

The two sisters-in-law are not as hostile as Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. Even because Jia Zhu and Jia Lian have a deep relationship, they have always been quite harmonious.Mother Jia finally felt a lot of relief when she saw it, and she smiled a little when she spoke. At least not everyone bothered her.

While chatting, a little maid suddenly said outside the door, "I have something to report."

He greeted people to come in, and saw the little maid bowed to Mother Jia and said to Wang Xifeng, "Second Grandma, a nanny has come to your natal family and said she has something to tell you."

"Is there anything you can't say in front of the elders." After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Mu with some embarrassment, and said, "If you don't mind, why don't you just call in and report?"

The grandson's daughter-in-law's family had something to do, so of course Mother Jia let her handle it by herself. Wang Xifeng came out to see her family's servants, and the more she listened, her face became more and more ugly, and she asked with difficulty: "What do you mean by suddenly disappearing?"
