Practical Life in the Red Mansion

I don't know what Jia's mother said to persuade Jia Amnesty, but Jia Amnesty quietly sent the 20 taels of silver notes to Lin Yang three days later.Lin Yang looked coldly at the bank note in the box and said, "The Zhen family said 50 taels."

Jia She hurriedly swore to the sky: "It's not that much. I read the account books, and I asked my mother, and my mother said it was 20 taels. When I asked my mother, she cried and cried. I... ..”

Lin Yang asked: "Grandmother told me how the Zhen family gave the money, whether it was cash or bank notes, and signed an IOU?" Jia Amnesty replied: "It is the bank notes, all of which are from Huitong. The bank notes, so my mother said she didn't suspect that they were official bank notes and accepted them, and the Zhen family didn't write an IOU because they were old relatives with our family."

Jia She continued: "That day when the Zhen family gave the silver bill, several people saw it, including Yuanyang, the big maid beside your grandmother, your second aunt, and your second sister-in-law Lian."

Lin Yang hummed, feeling a bit strange, why did Zhen Yingjia spit out that she gave Jia's 50 taels, but she gave 20 taels on the surface, didn't this remark reveal that the 30 taels had another owner? ?Since he didn't intend to give the money to that person, how could he tell that person so easily? Zhen Yingjia's move is very contradictory. Could it be that he used this to drag Jia's family into the water and make a fool of himself?In fact, there is no one behind it?Or was it that Zhen Yingjia was coerced into giving money, so she spit out such a loophole and asked the emperor to investigate the person who was arrested?

Just as Lin Yang was thinking, Jia She shouted timidly from the side: "Nephew." Lin Yang looked back at Jia She, and Jia She said worriedly: "Since the money has been paid back, is it right?" Doesn’t it involve our family?” Lin Yang nodded, and then Jia She felt relieved of the burden on his body, slumped on the chair, and broke into a cold sweat, “Looking at the expression of my nephew, I thought our family was not good. That's it."

Lin Yang said with a smile: "It's hard for uncle to raise money in such a short time." Jia She said with a smile: "It's nothing." He still couldn't help showing off to Lin Yang: "Mother said you can't take things outside. It is well known that when money is used, but it is nothing to give it to someone else, I paid 10 taels, and the East Mansion paid 5 taels to buy everything in the storehouse in the mansion."

Lin Yang was dumbfounded. The things in this mansion will be inherited by Jia She in the future. Isn't this money from his own pocket? Jia She didn't feel anything wrong and said cheerfully: "The warehouse is full of good things Yes, it is rare to see it on weekdays, but I have chosen a lot of things that far exceed 10 taels of silver."

Seeing Jia She's happy look, Lin Yang still thought not to remind him. Seeing Lin Yang's admiration, Jia She couldn't help but said, "Thanks to my nephew reminding me this time, I'll give you some good things later, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings." Yes." Lin Yang did not refuse after hearing this.

After Jia She left, Lin Yang went to the palace to meet the emperor, and told the emperor what Jia She had said to him and his own speculation.

The emperor said: "This Zhen Yingjia is really an old fox, he keeps his hands in everything." Shen Lv said aside: "Do you want me to continue the interrogation and let Zhen Yingjia say who it is?" The emperor shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, Zhen Yingjia Most of the money was given under coercion, and it is his limit to let him hint that there is a fraud in it, and I'm afraid it will be..."

Before the emperor could finish his sentence, he heard the little eunuch rushing to report that it was Zhen Yingjia who committed suicide in the prison.The emperor showed a playful smile, but Shen Lv was furious when he heard this, and committed suicide right under his nose.

The emperor said: "You don't have to be too angry, they must have already prepared, you sort out the statement and submit it to the third division, let them judge." Shen Lu looked a little better, but still asked with a cold face : "What about the account book?"

The emperor didn't hide it from Lin Yang. The account book was stolen by Zhen Lin and presented to the capital by Xue Yuan. It recorded the contacts between Zhen Yingjia and the rich and powerful officials. If this account book was exposed, the court would It was going to be a bit turbulent, and the emperor said a little tiredly: "Let's seal it up, and just pick a few people to deal with it."

Even the emperor couldn't deal with all the people on the account book, and had to compromise.

Afterwards, a decree came out from the palace that Zhen's family was confiscated and their property was confiscated. Only a small village was left for Zhen Yingjia's mother, Mrs. Feng En, and the rest were locked up and guarded. In the big prison, almost everyone is in danger for a while. The most serious crime is to be executed by Qiuhou, and the less serious one is exile. Masters and servants pretend to be official slaves and sell them.

The Zhen family and the rest of the family have a lot of property. In the past, the household department sold the property and the silver was only [-] to [-]% of its value. Today, the emperor left a mind and asked the household department to draw a line to get at least [-]% of it. At that time, the people in the household department were too busy, and there was no leader among the dragons. They begged the emperor to restore Lin Haiguan to his post, and the emperor took the opportunity to sneak Lin Haiti out.

Everyone in the court was staring at the case of the Zhen family, not only at who the Zhen family was implicated in, but also at the family property that the Zhen family was about to sell. Jia Min also got the news, but she was in the suburbs of Beijing, not only sighed, but Daiyu He said with a smile, "Why is mother thinking so foolishly? My father and elder brother both like ancient books and classics, and they won't let them go."

But Jia Min said: "The men's family will also buy some of these things, but those Zhuangzi's good fields are the big ones, and those good fields can't be bought back with money." Seeing Daiyu just smiling, Jia Min said, I couldn't help but point my finger at her forehead and said, "I'm a layman only because of you, to save your dowry."

Daiyu hid in Jia Min's arms and acted like a baby when her mother mentioned her dowry.

Fortunately, Lin Yang knew what Jia Min was thinking, and he got an internal list from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and asked Jia Min to choose the things he liked, and he marked them down, using his father's power, to use the power of his father for a while, and keep those things first. down.

Jia Min thought that he had lived in Zhuangzi for less than half a month, and it was time to go home, and the matter in Beijing had already been settled.Jia Min couldn't help but feel that Beijing's work efficiency is higher than before. First, the family property is searched and sold for silver storage, and then the detainees are gradually interrogated.

When Gu Jing got the news of Jia Min's return, she couldn't wait to get people to pack up their things and prepare to go back to meet Jia Min.She originally thought that going back to her natal family would be easy for a few days, but every day her mother talked about how rich the Lin family's family property was and asked her to take charge of the family quickly, or she disliked her for giving birth to a girl, otherwise Jia How could Min just take her daughter to live in the suburbs of Beijing, or let her persuade Lin Yang to find an official position for her brother.

Gu Jing would talk to her mother a few words at the beginning, but she was very annoyed when she heard it later. Fortunately, Gu Jing's wife took her to live with her for a few days, and then she settled down and avoided trouble.But Gu Jing's wife was also in front of her, it's a pity that he didn't give birth to a brother, so Gu Jing had something in his heart.In fact, Gu Jing's wife felt that her niece was very lucky. Even if she was a sister, her husband's family would not dislike her, and she loved her very much. If she gave birth to a brother, she didn't know how to love her.But when he heard Gu Jing's ears, his taste changed.

Gu Jing was very accommodating. When she got home, she asked someone to sweep the room to dry the bedding and prepare food. When Jia Min and Daiyu came back and saw her meticulous arrangements, they were very satisfied. After taking a comfortable bath, they had lunch together.

When Gu Jing was about to go back, Jia Min stopped her and said with a smile: "I am getting old, and my energy is not good enough. In the future, I will need you and Yu'er to help me take care of the housework, so I will just buy it." I'll leave the matter to you." Purchasing is a big job, and the water inside is very deep, Jia Min handed the shopping over to Gu Jing as soon as he came up, just to see how Gu Jing behaved.

Gu Jing naturally knew Jia Min's deep meaning, and respectfully agreed, and Jia Min immediately asked someone to move the account books to her yard.Gu Jing wanted to show off her abilities in front of Jia Min, so when she got back to the yard, she began to read the account books to learn about the Lin family's practices.When Lin Yang came back, she realized that she had been watching it all afternoon.

She hurriedly asked the girl to pack up the things, and helped Lin Yang change her clothes. Lin Yang asked, "What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Gu Jing replied with a smile, and Lin Yang asked again: "Where is the palm pearl? Why didn't you hug her, she is obedient today?" Gu Jing replied: "I'll ask the wet nurse to bring her right away." But he didn't tell Lin Yang Zhangzhu's situation today.

Lin Yang remembered that Gu Jing was probably busy checking the rules and didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhu, so he felt a little displeased but didn't show it: "Zhang Zhu is still young, if I don't see her, I will miss her very much." Well, a child like her can't speak, if we are not careful as adults, we won't know if she has committed a crime."

Although Gu Jing agreed on the surface, she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Whose children didn't grow up well with the wet nurse, and Zhang Zhu was surrounded by not only the wet nurse, the nurturing nurse, but also the big maid and doctor Bai given by Jia Min. With several eyes staring at it together, Lin Yang just made too much of a fuss if Zhang Zhu could do anything.

Lin Yang knocked sideways, but didn't say much. He was married for the first time, imitating Jia Min and Lin Hai's way of getting along. Lin Hai rarely interfered with Daiyu's education, let alone the affairs of the inner courtyard. Cooked by Jia Min.Lin Yang also didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the inner courtyard. Gu Jing was also raised by everyone's good manners, and he also had a way of handling the affairs of the inner courtyard, so naturally he was not allowed to worry too much.As for the issue of Zhangzhu, Lin Yang felt that Gu Jing was a mother, and although she would not pamper Daiyu like Jia Min did to Daiyu, she would not ignore her. Just click on it.

A few days later, two news came out that shocked the Lin family. One was that Xue Yuan had died, and the other was that King Dongping had entered Beijing.
