Jia She of the Red Chamber

Although Jia Amnesty had anticipated this situation long ago, he still did not expect so many people to come to Jia's house to borrow money.

When the emperor's confidant still owed money, the Dongfu also paid more than half of it. It's not that there is no money, but that it is worried about attracting others' attention, which is too eye-catching.

After all, it is enough for the Jia family to have the prominent Jia She, he is the patriarch of the Jia family, and he can't really act like a fool like Brother She, Jia Jing is very low-key and steady.

Jia Amnesty, who sincerely came to borrow money, would also discuss it carefully. If you have money, you can borrow some, and if you have no money, you can send some to an antique shop for emergency.

This was Jia Shen's plan. The eldest son-in-law and auntie of Jia's mansion came to the door, and Jia Shen personally received him. He had a good relationship with this girl. Jia Shen didn't like ink marks, so he was straightforward.

"How much do you still owe? How much do you intend to borrow?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the couple became a little red. These days, the couple also asked many people to borrow money, and they never thought about going back to their natal family. Her relationship with her natal family was mediocre, and her father was gone. As a aunt and brother, she didn't think that people would be willing to pull her out.

But now there is really no way out, except for his own dowry to support the expenses of the Fuchu, after the Fuchu repaid the debt owed by the treasury, it has completely become a hollow shelf.

That's why she thought of her mother's family now, and with a shy face, she hoped to borrow some money to support her through these days, and when the autumn harvest came, it would be nice if the harvest from the field would be delivered.

"We have almost raised the debt. If the elder brother is not in a hurry, he can lend us 5000 taels. After this period of time, we will be rich when the rent from the Zhuangzi comes up in the future."

The little county king was indeed very measured, he didn't do anything embarrassing, Jia Amnesty didn't shirk it either,

"Go get the sandalwood box from the Duobao Pavilion in the small study."

Hearing Jia She's straightforward instructions, the couple looked at each other and thanked each other repeatedly.

"A family of flesh and blood relatives, why are you so polite, sister, you know the situation in the house, the treasury is empty, this is my private house, don't rush to use it, you can return it slowly."

Jia Amnesty didn't hide his complacency at all, which made the aunt and grandma and his wife laugh, but this time the smile was less polite and more sincere.

"I really envy my elder brother. Grandma is so kind to you. I will come to fight the autumn wind in the future. My elder brother can't shirk."

The great aunt joked with a smile, and everyone who said this laughed.

The aunt and grandma of the Jia family went back, opened the sandalwood box, and counted, 1 taels,

"That's too much. It seems that big brother's private house is really rich."

Although she was smiling, she couldn't help but shed tears. Although they were both in Beijing, she was not close to her natal family, but she didn't expect that her natal family would always be her natal family, and she would pull herself out at any time.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's have more contacts with Big Brother in the future, and help where we can."

Seeing his wife's expression, the Xiaojun Wang comforted him, he really didn't expect Jia Amnesty to give so much money so happily. Although the county palace is a palace, everyone knows that he is just an empty-headed prince without a father or a mother , and no power or wealth, that's why the concubine of Jia's mansion can marry into the palace. Now it seems that the head of Jia's mansion probably has another kind of sincere love for his wife.

No matter what, if he can help each other, he will not make himself helpless. It doesn't matter to his husband and wife, but the children can't. The future of the son, the marriage of the daughter, these things must be considered more.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The couple discussed how much of the money should be kept for emergency and how much should be given away to pay off the debt. They have no one to help them now, so it is better to pay back the debt owed to the treasury as soon as possible.

The couple were busy calculating, and Jia Amnesty was also entertaining other people. This time, the couple received the boss of the Zhang family together.

The situation of the Zhang family is even worse. It is not the Zhang family that is worse, but the boss of the Zhang family.

After all, the Zhang family had bad things before. Although the dowry and [-]% to [-]% of the family property of the female relatives were returned later, those things were dead objects, not suitable for eating or drinking, and they could not be cashed out for cash. , what else can this man do if he has no money?

The boss of the Zhang family, like many people, completely regards the national treasury as his own front bank, and repays three to five thousand loans in advance, but the expenses in Beijing are really too high, so later on, he became more and more unrestrained. It is not uncommon to borrow [-] to [-] yuan at a time.

In the past two or three years, he owed two to three million taels, which Zhang Gel did not know.

Now that the incident happened, plus the 30 million taels owed by the Zhang family in the early years, the nearly 60 million taels of silver owed is really not a small amount.

Several generations of the Zhang family owed more than 20 taels, and now the boss of the Zhang family has spent so much in three or two years, which is incredible.

The boss of the Zhang family is also having a big head now, and Zhang Ge is mad at his stupid son.As soon as he fell, the Zhang family fell into chaos.

The boss of the Zhang family now wants to do his best to make up for this matter, no matter what he owes, he will pay back what he owes first. Although he has a lot of friends and confidants on weekdays, he also knows that anyone who can borrow money, except Jia's mansion , who else?

Seeing that the eldest brother of the Zhang family, who was not much bigger than the tip of a needle, always felt that his second uncle had taken over his resources, he sat across from his wife with a feeling of uneasiness, and couldn't help but want to ridicule him. Inherit the Zhang family?

"Brother, how much does the family need? My husband and I also set aside some for emergencies."

Mrs. Zhang didn't take care of everything, Jia's family was not short of money, and they could even spare [-] to [-] yuan from their own dowry, but still the same sentence, the money of Jia's mansion was not blown by strong winds. Now that the Jia family is in the limelight, she will naturally not cause trouble for her husband.

"It's best to have one hundred and eighty thousand, uh...otherwise, three to fifty thousand is fine."

The boss of the Zhang family has been haggard a lot these days, and said to his sister, although he said so, his eyes were fixed on Jia Amnesty, obviously such a large sum of money, if Jia Amnesty does not agree, even if Zhang Jingshu has more money , it is impossible to take it out.

"Why do you want so many?"

Zhang Jingshu asked with a frown, the Zhang family is rigorous and doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, and the children will not live too extravagantly, so Zhang Jingshu is also anxious when they suddenly hear that such a large sum of money is required.

"Don't worry about it, you are already Jia's wife, so don't get involved in the Zhang family's affairs."

The boss of the Zhang family still has some opinions on this girl. She has been with the second child since she was a child, and she will definitely turn to the second child in the future, so he should have some resistance.

"Brother, what you said..."

Zhang Shi was trembling with anger, he really didn't expect his elder brother to say such a thing, what does it mean?What the hell did I do to him?

"Brother, what you want is too much, wait a few days for me and Jing Shu to raise money, okay?"

Jia Amnesty stopped the distraught Zhang Jingshu, and faced the old Zhang family with a blank expression.

Now he has something to ask for, but he is still holding on to his airs and refuses to let go. He nodded to Jia She with an arrogant face, then walked away with his hands.

"Look at him, what kind of attitude is he? Such a person, why should I lend him money? Is my money brought by the strong wind? I won't lend him even if I burn it as firewood !"

"You, this loan is not for him. I asked my daughter to go over and ask what's going on. I always feel that something is wrong with my elder brother."

Jia Amnesty comforted Zhang Shi who was already in tears, and said in a hurry.

"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to the Zhang family?"

Zhang Jingshu didn't bother to cry when she heard these words, she tugged on Jia Amnesty's sleeve and asked.

"Where do I know, don't scare yourself first, okay? Let the girl go over and ask about the situation."

Jia Amnesty also made random guesses, but he was still a little uneasy, so it was good for his daughter to go and see An Anxin.

Jia Na was entrusted by her parents to set off for the Zhang family. Jia Hu, the eldest son, was supposed to go out, but he had a filial piety, so he had to let his daughter go, but Jia She thought that his daughter was more capable than his son. , don't worry anymore.

After Jana went there, she found out that the Zhang family's affairs were serious. Not to mention her grandfather was ill, and she still owed such a large amount of money. Although she also knew that her father's private house had almost the same amount, she definitely couldn't take it all out. Pay off the Zhang family's debt?

Jia Na came here this time with the 5 taels her parents had prepared for the Zhang family, but it was a drop in the bucket.

The boss of the Zhang family is counting on his eldest sister now, but what about now?It's 5 taels. What can I do with this little money?

But the rest of the Zhang family are already grateful enough, and Jana didn't finish her sentence. This was raised by her mother after she sold her dowry. There could have been more, but now the shop is worthless and is being held People suppressed the price very much, so there were only more than 2 yuan, and the rest was raised by my father.

Except for Zhang Boss, everyone in the Zhang family was grateful.

"Is there any contingency in the house now?"

Jana asked her grandmother,

"My private house is estimated to be more than 5 yuan. Your two uncles each took out 30 taels, plus the things sent by your house, the total is more than [-] yuan. Let's pay half of it first, and the remaining half will be slow." Return slowly."

Mrs. Zhang is now the backbone of the family. The son she has always relied on has caused such a big disaster, her husband is ill again, and the youngest son is more reliable, who else can she rely on?

"What about the livelihood in the future? The whole family will always have to eat and drink!"

Jana is no longer a little girl who doesn't know the world, and asked her grandmother.

"Other families can survive, so can the Zhang family. Before the Zhang family survived the hardships of being imprisoned, such small twists and turns are not a big deal now."

The old man has experienced a lot of storms in his life. Although such a thing has hurt his muscles and bones, as long as the whole family is fine, it is really not a big deal.

After hearing this, Jana was very impressed. With her grandmother around, the Zhang family should be able to survive when her grandfather recovers.
