Lucky Pregnant Life in the Red Chamber

Baozhu took the children to play here every day, but Jia's mother was having a hard time these few days.

She has been thinking about what Baozhu said these days, and the more she thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes. In addition, there is a letter from her daughter, saying that her son-in-law wants to let her grandson go to the exam.

After a few days of tossing and turning, I finally made up my mind.

On this day, Jia She and his wife, Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Lian and his wife and Li Wan were called.

Jia Amnesty was looking at his new precious fan. Hearing that Jia's mother called him, he was at a loss. His mother never looked for him when she was fine.

I followed Yuanyang to Jia Mu's courtyard, and seeing everyone standing solemnly, I couldn't help but feel drummed in my heart. I haven't done anything bad recently.

When everyone was there, Mother Jia let some daughters-in-law and grandsons rest intermittently on the east side, and let her sons and grandsons enter the house to talk.

Everyone was even more confused when they saw this.

When several people came in according to their words, they saw Jia Mu sitting there in meditation.

Seeing them coming in, he came back to his senses and said to the three of them, "Sit down first."

When several people sat down one by one, Jia's mother said to Jia She, "She, how much money does our family owe the treasury?"

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty thought for a while and said, "About 10 taels."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian again: "You usually help take care of the family affairs, how much money do you have in the account?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "The proceeds from Qiuli's shop and the farm will be sent up. After deducting the usual expenses and gifts, there are about 2 taels left."

After hearing this, Jia's mother was silent, thinking of what her granddaughter said about repaying the debt owed to the treasury, she hesitated in her heart.

The current situation is that everyone owes the treasury silver and has not yet paid it back.

The family's finances are tight now, so why don't you pay it back first, and if the emperor wants to pay back the treasury silver at that time, let's chip in the money.

When Jia Amnesty heard Jia Mu asking first about the debt, and then about the bank deposit at home, she was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Emiang, don't you want to pay back the debt from the national treasury? No one has paid it back. Let's... .”

Jia Mu interrupted him: "Okay, I didn't say I want to pay it back, I just have a plan in mind."

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jia's mother saw this, she sighed inwardly, thinking of what her granddaughter said, she looked at Jia Zheng and said, "I heard that Jia Dairu is the only one in the family, and he is too old to control the students, so the atmosphere in the school is not good."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "My son doesn't know."

Jia's mother then said: "I thought about it, our family's title is downgraded from generation to generation, we are fine now, what will the children and grandchildren do in the future? As the saying goes, the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. stand up."

After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Firstly, it is for future generations to have a way out; secondly, for those people in the clan, we can't help them for the rest of their lives, let them study and learn some skills, and firstly, I will have a way to make a living in the future." Second, if there is someone who can read, it will also be a help to Zhu'er in the future."

Jia Zheng nodded repeatedly. He had always valued Jia Zhu, so he felt that what his mother said was very reasonable.

Jiamu looked at him and said again: "I'm going to hand over the family studies to you. Firstly, you love reading. Secondly, you have raised many clean people around you. They are all scholars. They are also idle when they are idle. You discuss it with them, if you can manage the family education well, it will be a great thing for the children and grandchildren."

Jia Zheng quickly responded.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jia's mother said to Jia She again: "She, I think our family's title has been lowered to yours, and now it is the title of a first-class general. Take it off."

After hearing this, the three of them turned pale with shock, and Jia She even said, "No way, Er Niang, this brand..."

Jia Mu waved her hand: "That's it. This sign should have been taken off a long time ago. It's just that everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb. It's just that the Holy Majesty can't remember it now. If you remember it, it will be another mistake!"

After Jia Amnesty and the others listened, Fang stopped talking, but was secretly sad in his heart.

Jia Zheng was even more at a loss, thinking that he had always been proud of the Duke's Mansion, if the brand of the Duke's Mansion was taken off...

Seeing the reaction of the three, Jia's mother felt very painful in her heart, and it was even more uncomfortable when she thought of what she was going to say next.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Jia Zheng, "Zheng'er, take your brother to replace the plaque. You can live in another place."

Jia Zheng was shocked, he was really panicking at this time, Jia's mother couldn't help but close her eyes when she saw his reaction.

On the other hand, Jia Amnesty had a happy expression on his face, and all the gloom brought about by changing the plaque was gone.

Mother Jia took a deep breath, opened her eyes and said, "Zheng'er?"

Jia Zheng resisted the pain in his heart and tried his best to do what he wanted.

Jia Mu said to the three people again: "There is one last thing. I am going to send people to Jinling's hometown to buy some more sacrifice fields. The proceeds will be used for the children of the clan to study. If there are surplus proceeds, I will buy more sacrifices." field."

After hearing this, the three of them felt that it was reasonable, so they nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Jia's mother told Jia Lian to go to Jinling to buy land with several promising children and family stewards.

After talking about these important events, he called a few more daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to come in.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng had already waited anxiously. They had a hard time these few days. They had to be housekeepers every day, and they had to order people to cancel those IOUs.

Seeing that Mother Jia called all the family over, and only let a few men in, she suspected that Mother Jia would deal with them, and she was very disturbed.

After entering, he was still in a daze when he heard Jia Mu saying that he was going to lay off people. He was startled and looked at Jia Mu.

When Jia's mother saw several daughter-in-laws, the granddaughter-in-law looked at her blankly, and then said the words again.

It took everyone to react, and their expressions were very disturbed.

Mother Jia sighed and said, "I can't do anything about it. The family is too pompous, so they often can't make ends meet, and the family still owes a lot of money to the treasury. Even if they don't pay it back now, they will have to pay it back in the future. If you still let the family If you don’t change your old habits, I’m afraid that soon my wife won’t even be able to eat a bowl of red stalk rice porridge.”

After everyone heard this, they quickly knelt down, and Jia Zheng even said, "Er Niang, why is the family so difficult?"

Jia Mu sneered: "Now the old woman has to rely on her daughter-in-law's dowry even for food, let alone in the future."

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were sweating coldly after hearing this.

Therefore, no matter what Jia Mu said next, she should be right with both hands, I am afraid that Jia Mu will find them to settle accounts.

Seeing this, Jia's mother was very satisfied and said: "Our family is a big family, and it is more important to increase revenue and reduce expenditure." Then she ordered everyone to disperse.

He just stopped Mrs. Wang and said that he wanted to talk to her about how to save money.

Mrs. Wang's heart is still in a mess at this moment, and she can't wait to go back to her room to sort things out.

Therefore, I agree with all the measures that Mother Jia said next, such as cutting personnel and reducing expenses.

Mother Jia was very satisfied. As long as Mrs. Wang passed this test, the rest of the family would be fine.
