Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Mother Jia naturally knew that Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were fighting each other in their hearts, but she also blamed Sister Feng too much. After all, Sister Feng had already filled a lot for this mansion. It was planned, and besides, the whole Wang family loves Sister Feng very much. Offending Sister Feng is naturally tantamount to offending the Wang family.

So Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang: "Okay, don't talk too much. What is the mansion like now? You are the housekeeper's wife. I don't believe you don't know. Feng girl has already filled in for this mansion." A lot, but I know that you have a lot of private money, and now it is such an honor for Fujin to return home to visit his relatives, is it possible that you are still unwilling to hand over the money?" After speaking, he wiped his tears on purpose, and said: "My poor Yuan'er, she suffered so much in the palace and did not return home. Her mother refused to give her some money."

Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's words, knowing that Jia Mu was acting, but she still couldn't restrain the pain in her heart, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, old lady, the daughter-in-law just pay 10 taels. "As soon as the words were finished, Mother Jia laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I know you love girl Yuan the most."

Mrs. Wang cursed Jia Mu secretly, this old man, when he heard that I took out the money, he changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book.After all, she was reluctant to let go of the money, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, this business was originally intended for the Xue family, but she just asked Aunt Xue to lower the price by 10 taels?The calculations in his heart were settled, and his face naturally eased a lot.

At this time, Sister Feng asked Jia's mother: "Old ancestor, according to my opinion, this family-sister's villa should naturally be built better. I guess no matter how the Xue family lowers the price, I'm afraid it will still cost 30 taels of silver." Yes, now that you have these two hundred thousand taels of silver, what should you do with the remaining sixty thousand taels of silver?"

Jia's mother said: "This Fujin provincial relative is the glory of the whole family, and the remaining ten thousand taels of silver can only be shared among the houses. Besides, brother Zhen in the East mansion, I know he is rich. , if it really doesn’t work, just talk to brother Zhen about it.”

Hearing that Mother Jia said to discuss with Jia Zhen, Mrs. Wang couldn't help turning pale. Since Qin Keqing's death, she had an inexplicable fear of Jia Zhen. Whenever she came into contact with Jia Zhen's eyes that seemed to be smiling, She felt a chill go straight to the bottom of her heart, how dare she talk to Jia Zhen about borrowing money?

At this time, Jia She and Jia Zheng, who were outside, vaguely heard Jia Mu and the others' conversation, and they walked in.Jia Zheng said: "Old lady, I'm afraid it's hard to say that from brother Zhen." Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and said, "Why is it hard to say?" Jia Zheng winked and said, "The old lady forgot , that thing is still in Brother Zhen's hand. If you offend him..."

Jia's mother was shocked, she almost forgot about such a big event, Jia Zhen held the life-threatening thing in Jia's family, although Qin Keqing's matter was in the hands of Na Youshi, but Jia Zhen is such a shrewd person, how could she? I didn't guess what was going on, I just kept refraining from having an attack.If the matter of visiting relatives this time is calculated on his head again, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to talk about.Thinking of this, Jia Mu sighed and said, "Since that's the case, we just have to figure out a way for this money."

Jia Amnesty is the most addicted to money and spends money like water. He heard that it is more uncomfortable than killing his heart and liver to pay for it himself, so as soon as Jia's mother finished speaking, he shouted: "The envoy fee for the money has never been paid. They were all caught in the second room, and we don't have much money in the first room."

Mrs. Wang was about to open her mouth to refute, but was blocked by Jia She's words.Just heard Jia She snorted coldly, and said: "Others don't know, you still think I don't know? Since you took over the housekeeping power, you don't know how much money you have ignorantly in private. Just don't say anything else, some time ago Before the Zhen Mansion ransacked the house, they ordered someone to deliver a few boxes of things, at least worth four to five million taels of silver. You kept silent and just kept them privately. If you don’t know, you really thought that you were kind enough to keep them for the Zhen Mansion. Well, as long as people don't know, unless you do nothing, after the Zhen family ransacked the house, you sold a lot of those things. I didn't know it at first, if it wasn't for the last time I ran into Zhou Rui's family in front of a pawnshop by chance, You were really kept in the dark by you, but now you cry poorly in front of me, pretending to be virtuous, but I don’t know who you want to show it to.”

The words blocked Madam Wang until her old face flushed red, and she couldn't speak for a while.On the other hand, not to mention Jia's mother, even Jia Zheng was furious when he heard the words, and wished to slap Mrs. Wang.Jia Zheng said angrily, "You foolish woman, how dare you take things from the Zhen family without permission? Do you know why the Zhen family was confiscated for any crime? Could it be that you want these things to be investigated in our mansion?" After you come out, will you be punished for the crime of adultery?"

But Mother Jia didn't take it seriously. Zhen's house had been raided for so long, and if they had to investigate, they would have found this mansion long ago. How could they wait until today?She just couldn't bear that Mrs. Wang concealed such a fortune without telling her, so she felt a little displeased.

At this moment, I saw Hu Po hurried in and said: "Old lady, elder master, second master, elder wife, second wife, second mistress Lian, Director Li from the palace is back again, and now he is waiting outside. "Mother Jia and the others were startled when they heard the words. The house here is not soundproof from the outside house. I don't know if Li Dequan heard what they said just now.

"Do you know why Director Li left and returned?" Mother Jia hurriedly asked Amber after the first reaction came to her mind. "It is said that he is here to preach the imperial decree, and besides..." Hu Po glanced at Mrs. Wang, and Mother Jia knew that Hu Po was worried about Mrs. Wang's presence. She thought that there must be something that displeased Mrs. Wang, so she said: "You just don't worry about it. That's it." After hearing this, Hu Po said, "The other thing is to let Aunt Zhao and Third Master Huan go to the front hall to receive the imperial decree together."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what this meant, how could a rich family let the aunt and concubine go to the front hall to receive the order?After thinking about it, Mother Jia ordered Yuanyang to say, "Go, go to Liufangyuan Zhu's daughter-in-law and find Aunt Zhao and Mr. Huan to the front hall." Yuanyang agreed and went.

It turned out that some time ago, Li Wan really couldn't see where Aunt Zhao lived, so she begged Mother Jia, saying that she couldn't make Jia Lan's clothes by herself, but Aunt Zhao was very good at sewing, so she asked Aunt Zhao Accompanied her to live in Liufangyuan, and took Jia Huan along by the way, saying that it would be good for uncle and nephew to study together, and it would save a lot of expenses.Mother Jia thought for a while and agreed.After all, Jia Huan was her grandson anyway, so she couldn't let people say that she had treated him harshly, and she had always known that Aunt Zhao was extremely popular with Daiyu.

After a while, everyone, including Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, knelt in the front hall and waited for the order.Li Dequan smiled slightly, opened the imperial decree and said: "Follow the heavens, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Jia Huan, the son of the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, is arrogant, quite talented, and has extraordinary ambitions. Lin Wenfu, the commander of the guards in the palace, said that his side is still lacking." The position of assistant leader, so I have a special purpose to ask for it. Therefore, I broke the rules and granted Jia Huan of the Rongguo Mansion as the fourth-rank bodyguard assistant leader. His mother, Zhao, has made great achievements in raising children, so I specially named Zhao the third-rank gentleman, and also gave 500 taels of silver , two pairs of jade hairpins, each with a number of gold and silver headdresses. Here it is!"

With a decree, the entire family was shocked, no one thought that this pair of mother and son who were not welcomed by the family in the weekdays would be able to achieve such a fortune.After everyone received the decree, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but ask Li Dequan first: "Mr. Li, these officials have always been conferred the concubine son, how can they confer the concubine son? What's more, Huan'er is still a wild...children's family." How can you become an official?"

Li Dequan glanced at Mrs. Wang with a half-smile, and said, "What does Wang Yiren mean by this? Do you mean that Mr. Lin Wenfu, Mr. Lin, doesn't know people clearly? Or is it that the emperor issued the wrong imperial decree? Or Did miscellaneous families boldly tamper with the imperial decree?"

Everyone was shocked. They dared to refute any of these three sentences. If any of the charges were charged, they would not be able to bear it.Li Dequan said with a smile to Jia Zheng: "Elder Zheng also knows that Lin Wenfu taught Ling Sun Jialan riding and archery for two years in your mansion under the order of Princess Chenyu. During this period, Master Huan also humbly asked for advice. Master Lin saw his talent Smart and willing to work hard, he taught Master Huan by the way. Mr. Lin can be regarded as Master Huan's mentor, so the last time he was named Master Huan, he also wanted to give him some experience."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but like it very much, so he ordered someone to take 300 taels of silver notes and hand them to Li Dequan.Li Dequan smiled, and accepted it. In fact, the 300 taels of silver is really nothing to him. The concubines in the palace often take care of him, which one is less than 500 taels of silver?But before coming here, Master Xiaoyu ordered that no matter how much money the Rongguo Mansion took to deal with him, they would all accept it. I guess there was some meaning in it.

After Li Dequan left, everyone in the front hall liked it very much except Madam Wang.Among them, Jia She and Mrs. Xing are the most. Jia She has always liked Jia Huan, and Mrs. Xing has always been friends with Aunt Zhao, so Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao won the award, and they are happier than Jia Zheng.

Seeing Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan's complacent looks, Mrs. Wang was very angry and blurted out: "You two, why don't you go back to Liufang Garden, you're so eye-catching here!"

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she smiled slightly, she was a young lady, she still had a charming charm, such a smile washed away all the unbearable aura in the usual days, and only made people think that she had an extraordinary temperament.Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "You have bullied me enough on weekdays. Now that I have managed to make it through, how can I accept your idleness again? Madam, speaking of you, your rank is even higher than I'm quite a bit shorter than that, but I dare to say such low-level words in front of me. If I don't give you a little bit of color today, will you just think that I, Zhao □□, are a soft persimmon?"

After saying a word, while everyone was stunned, he slapped Mrs. Wang's face with a "slap", and everyone saw that Mrs. Wang's face was hot and red, and Mrs. Wang was holding a Pointing at Aunt Zhao with a trembling finger, his eyes were full of disbelief.
