[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

When Jia's mother arrived outside the small Buddhist hall of Rongxi Hall, a group of maids and women were already pointing and discussing at the door.Among them, Aunt Zhao's voice is the loudest, and the whole yard is filled with her harsh and thin voice: "I usually say that my wife is only charitable on the surface, and you don't know how many bloody methods are behind the scenes. You don't believe it. Look at this enshrined What has become of the Bodhisattva, with a ferocious and greedy appearance, and no trace of compassion in the past. Sure enough, what kind of people enshrine what kind of Bodhisattva, now you all believe it."

"Aunt Zhao, what are you talking about? I think you can't live without making trouble for a day." Jia Mu was very dissatisfied with this person who came from her. After serving the men, she would see what she could do. All of her gentleness and hospitality are thrown into the country of Java, no different from a shrew.He fights for favor and jealousy all day long, pinches and causes trouble, and is simply a troublemaker.

If Aunt Zhao heard this, she would have to cry for injustice, if she hadn’t been savage in normal times and deliberately showed her vulgarity everywhere, how could she have given birth to Tanchun and Brother Huan safely? People, my wife dare not act rashly.I haven’t seen the second bedroom’s yard, except for the one that crawled out of the wife’s belly. She has a son and a daughter. The rest are either never pregnant or miscarried for various reasons. If the wife is a philanthropist, her name will be reversed. Write.

Besides, her gentleness and care should be used in the right place, as long as the master is satisfied, it doesn't matter what her reputation outside is.

Jia's mother's words were still deterrent. After being scolded, Aunt Zhao became more peaceful. She stopped talking and hid in the crowd to continue watching the excitement.

When Jia Mu led the crowd into the Buddhist hall, she looked up, good guy, this is not a Bodhisattva, I saw the two eyes of the Buddha statue, one big and one small, looking at the bottom of the base greedily. The folded hands stretched out vigorously, as if trying to break free from the shackles, and poked under the seat, exuding a ferocious and ferocious intent.

"Oh my God." Madam Xing was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes with a veil, not daring to look more.

Mother Jia panicked. Didn't she say that she appeared?What is the reason for this appearance? Could it be that it really answered what Xichun said.

"Tsk tsk, how many good things the second wife has hidden under this Buddha statue, this Bodhisattva can't help but want to use it. You really don't look like a person, second wife." Jia She is not afraid. I can't turn over.I just felt a bad breath coming out of my heart, he, the old man who should be the master of the family, wanted the approval of Wang's sister-in-law for a little money, thinking about how aggrieved he was.

When Madam Wang saw the appearance of the enshrined Bodhisattva, her body softened and she fell to the ground. The panic in her heart could no longer be restrained. It's over, it's really over now, and all her plans will be in vain.

"Old lady, it seems that what niece Taizhen said is true. Now it's better to dig up this thing that is no longer a Buddha, and see how much private money the second wife has cheated on us and how many bad things she has done behind our backs." After waiting for Jia's mother to agree, he will arrange people with an order.

After hearing what Jia She said, Mrs. Wang felt that she had found a reason, "Yes, this must be Xichun's trick. What you see is all fake, fake, everything is arranged by her, she is trying to harm me." He said gnashing his teeth as if there was such a thing. Although it was indeed Jiang Yingrong's method, if you didn't do bad things, why bother to find you.

"Oh, it's not right for the second wife to say that. My niece Taizhen has no grudges with you in the past and has no grudges in the present. Why do you want to harm you? It's because you did something shameful and angered God. The worshiping bodhisattvas won’t help you anymore, you’re still talking nonsense here.” Mrs. Xing heard that Jia She was about to dig up the Buddha statue and treasure, so she hurried to help, regardless of her fear.

"Old lady, don't worry about whether my aunt has done something wrong, but the Buddha statue has become like this. It's not good for the family. It's better to dig it out quickly, so as not to harm the family." Wang Xifeng also spoke at the same time, aunt After this battle, I'm afraid it's over. It's good that she didn't make trouble. After all, if you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Even if you are a relative, you can't play favoritism.

Mother Jia thought about it, but she still did not forget to ask Jia Zheng for advice: "Second brother, what do you say?"

Jia Zheng looked ashamed, and said bitterly: "Everything is up to the mother. If Mrs. Wang really committed an unforgivable crime, we Rongguo Temple will not tolerate her as a poisonous woman."

This is going to divorce her, Wang rolled her eyes in a hurry and pouted.

"Carry it down first, and watch it carefully. Without my order, you can't leave the door for half a step. Mrs. Wang's companions are also guarded. I will ask questions later." Mother Jia said solemnly, Mrs. Wang is hopeless , but Baoyu can't have a divorced mother, and it will be discussed whether she will die of illness or be locked up for a lifetime.Jia's mother made up her mind in just an instant, and Mrs. Wang's ending was a foregone conclusion.

Then Jiamu cleared the yard, and a few strong boys swung a sledgehammer to smash the Buddha statue into pieces.After the base was knocked off, a large dark hole was revealed, which seemed to be able to accommodate an adult to enter and exit. Jia Amnesty volunteered to go in with an oil lamp to find out.

After walking down four or five steps, I saw an underground vault of more than ten feet square, crowded with dozens of large boxes, as well as various precious ornaments, authentic calligraphy and paintings, and even There are some items bestowed by the Holy One.

What a second wife, how much is this greedy? She must have moved half of the Rongguo Mansion's things into this small treasury.Jia Amnesty opened one box after another, seeing the neatly arranged stacks of gold and silver ingots that were golden and white, he couldn't help breathing heavily.

Didn't this Bingyu Ruyi say it was broken?It actually appeared in Wang's small treasury; there is also this Jun Kiln rose and purple flower pot, white jade heart-shaped lotus seed vase, enamel jade lotus bonsai... Many of them are familiar to Jia She. It's in the public library.Now I saw it again here, it seems that Mrs. Wang has done a lot of tricks secretly, it is really hateful and greedy.

Watching Jia Shen noticed a small box placed alone, he thought that no one would be able to find this secret vault, it was not locked, and it must be some kind of important deed that could be put in the secret vault on purpose.Jia Amnesty opened it and saw that there were indeed some contract documents and the like. He picked up a stack and put it under the lamp to have a closer look. There were not only high-quality land, shops, villages, and yards.

Most of these are either because of the bad harvest of Zhuangzi and the fields, or the poor management of the shop and the large deficit. It is better to sell them at a low price so as not to fall into the hands.Now it seems that Wang's secretly sent someone to buy it back with low-priced silver. It definitely wasn't what she said was bad or bad. It must be some lucrative land and shop. Otherwise, how could she be willing to buy it back at a loss? Woolen cloth.

No wonder the mansion's income has been decreasing in the past two years. All the money is stuffed into Wang's own pockets, and the rest are half-dead estate shops. It's no wonder that the income is more.

Jia Amnesty didn't have time to take a closer look, so he stuffed these land deeds, land deeds and house deeds into the left and right sleeves and the boots on his chest, and then tidied them up and down.Below are some lending contracts, which clearly record how many taels of silver borrowed by a certain person at a certain date and time in a certain year, the interest rate, and when to pay it off.There are also documents for champering lawsuits, what things have been done for a certain family on a certain day on a certain day, how much money has been collected, etc... Of course, all the account books are also in the box.

Well, this poisonous woman Wang has committed so many bad things in his name, she dared to do such things as arranging lawsuits and lending usury, she really ate a bear's heart and leopard courage.Jia She's eyes were tearing open, his eyes were red, the excitement of seeing so many babies disappeared in an instant, instead he felt his neck was chilly, and he almost wanted to move his head.Jia Amnesty can't imagine letting the Wang family go on like this, and if someone finds out in the future, he, the nominal head of the family, will be on top of him. He didn't get any benefits, but he has to take the blame for others. There are such good things.

It just so happened that Mother Jia sent a decent person named Jia She, because Jia She stayed in there for a long time, the people above didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to go down easily, so they asked.Jia Amnesty rubbed his face, blinked, imagined the scene of moving his head, felt that it was not enough, and imagined losing his most beloved Xiaojiaoren and the fan thing, and successfully forced out two drops of cat urine, Holding the small box, he responded and ran up.

"Old lady, you have to save your son. Look at how many evil deeds Mrs. Wang has done behind our backs. If a sage finds out all these things, they will all be recorded on his son's head, on the Rongguo mansion. Ah." Jia Amnesty handed over the loan and champerty documents to Mother Jia, looking extremely aggrieved, but with the old man's flamboyant body, big bags under the eyes, and old wrinkled face, it seemed that he could not attract others. His sympathy, on the contrary, is somewhat hot-eyed.

Sure enough, she failed to arouse Jia Mu's pity, but instead drew a big roll of eyes.Mother Jia took the thick stack of paper and looked, because of her presbyopia, even if she held it from a distance, she couldn't see it clearly. She could only vaguely see loans, lawsuits and money transactions, but these words had already disappeared. It's enough to provoke Jia's mother's nerves and know what Wang did.Then he threw the things to Jia Zheng, and asked him to see what the people next to his pillow were doing.

"Confused, really confused, whether the Rongguo Mansion is short of her to eat or her to drink, they even use such low-handed means to collect money and do such unreasonable things, and they are not afraid of God's retribution. This is getting into the eyes of money. " Angrily, Jia's mother poked the floor with her cane, with a heartbroken look on her face. Fortunately, she kept suppressing the first room and promoting the second room, but she finally lifted up a troublemaker.

Mother Jia is not as short-sighted as Mrs. Wang, knowing that although such things come quickly, they are untouchable, otherwise it will be a disaster for the whole family.In addition, although Jia's mother is eccentric, she still has a heart of pity for the poor and the old, and she disdains to use small families to make money.

"That's not counting, old lady, look, these shop Zhuangzi's fields were originally owned by the public, but now they are all Wang's private property. There are also many public items in the secret storehouse, and there are boxes of them. Gold and silver. This Wang family has been in the family for more than ten years, and she has so many things that she has emptied the house." Jia She continued.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Jia's hands trembled even more, and she couldn't calm down anymore. She pointed at Jia Zheng and said, "What are you going to do with such a troublemaker?"

"Son, send a letter of divorce right away and send it back to the Wang family." Jia Zheng also had red eyes with anger, but if something goes wrong, it's the men who take the lead first.

"You are confused. The poisonous woman is a young man after divorce. Have you considered Baoyu? Mrs. Wang can't stay anymore. She will be locked up in the small Buddha hall for a few days and let her die of illness. Those who have not paid back these loans should send someone to Go and take back the papers, and don’t want them to return them; Haosheng who has already collected the interest should return the interest to others; if the lawsuit has not been settled, return the money quickly, and say that the Rongguo Mansion can’t handle this matter.” Jia’s mother. Ready to make a big deal into a small one, Jia Zheng had no choice but to bow his head.

"After everyone's money has been paid back for the things in the secret library, the rest will be put into the public house. Today's affairs must be kept secret and not spread." Fortunately, the irrelevant people have been sent away long ago, and Jia's mother was tired. He waved his hand, ready to go back and take a rest.

"Old lady, it's not fair. Mrs. Wang has committed so many things in my name. Even if some of them are eliminated, it's still a waste of time. The previous ones are still on my head. If someone finds out and punishes them But me, I can't take the blame for others for nothing. I want to go to the emperor to plead guilty, and send the Wang family to the government, so that people won't have the opportunity to settle accounts after autumn." Jia Amnesty refused, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway Rong Rong He can't be the master of the country, he can't be the master of the country, he can't be a first-class general, and he doesn't care about vacant positions. His majesty will not punish him severely for his attitude of voluntarily admitting his mistakes.Fortunately, he kept his eyes open and still had some loan and litigation certificates in his hand.

Jia's mother stared at Jia Amnesty with blazing eyes, and said, "How are you doing?"

"I took so many scapegoats for no reason, and this culpability must not be vain, otherwise I will beat the yamen to complain." Jia She pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.

"Except for the original utensils in Gongzhong and Wang's dowry, I will give you [-]% of the rest of the money, and I will give you [-]% of the money. It is right to compensate you for wronging you." Mother Jia gritted her teeth and let go, and said [-]% directly in the hope that Jia Amnesty can do it. One-time satisfaction is no longer entangled.

"Seventy percent." Jia She compared it to seventy percent.

"Sixty percent, it's something from the public. If you want more, you can go to the Yamen and sue the officials." The mother and son started to bargain.

"make a deal!"
