Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 119
From now on, all the family business will be left to your brother Rong...
When Wang Xifeng heard this sentence, her first thought was neither luck nor helplessness, but that she missed Jia Lian who had not yet returned to Beijing.
Jia Lian should really listen to what his father said! !It was as if Jia Lian, the only legitimate son, had never been taken seriously!Or, is this purely to win her over?
After being silent for a while, Wang Xifeng had to admit that Jia Amnesty really thought highly of her, and even understood her quite well, knowing that Jia Lian alone was not enough, so he put the heavy treasure on Brother Rong in a daze.After all, even if Wang Xifeng had the possibility of betraying Jia Lian, he decided that it would be impossible for him to disregard his own son.It's a pity that in the eyes of others, the wonderful Rongguo Mansion is just a hot potato to her.
"Is this not enough bargaining chips?" Jia She frowned deeply, with a faint hint of displeasure on his face.He thought it was extremely sincere to take out such a bargaining chip, and Wang Xifeng should readily accept it.Or did he miscalculate the degree of greed of Wang's daughter?
Facing Jia Amnesty's questioning, Wang Xifeng just had a bitter mouth.Jia Amnesty's meaning couldn't be clearer, to drive out the second room, let the whole Rongguo mansion fall into the hands of the first room, and make a promise that the person who will inherit the Rongguo mansion in the future must be her brother Rong.In good conscience, such a promise is really good.Even if Jia Lian is left out, it means that Cong'er born from a concubine cannot inherit anything, and even if Jia Lian has a concubine with another woman in the future, he will not have the right to inherit either.To put it even more harshly, Jia Amnesty almost made it clear that he would send the bastard out of the house.
Should she thank the Elder Master for his kindness?
Wang Xifeng smiled wryly, and after a while, he said: "Thanks to the master's attention, but there is one thing, the master may not know about it."
"What's the matter?"
"The huge Rongguo Mansion looks like it is full of flowers, but in fact there is only an empty shelf left. I can even say that even if it is just an empty shelf, it is better than it is now. Master, it doesn't matter whether it is me or Second Master Lian. I never cared who the Rongguo Mansion will fall into in the future."
"What do you mean?" Jia Amnesty originally wanted to use the inheritance rights of the Rongguo Mansion to join hands with Wang Xifeng to force the second room away, but when he heard this, he felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet, and suddenly hit him Shivering, he shouted, "Lian's daughter-in-law, I have always known that you are a smart person, so please speak clearly today!"
Wang Xifeng was silent.
In fact, since the day she was reborn, she has been thinking about how to get out of the vortex of right and wrong more than once.Time and time again, no matter whether she started with Jia Lian, or Jia Mu, or hated her to the extreme, she thought about simply leaving with her children, but of course that was impossible.Later, she simply found Grandma Liu and Ping'er, who had changed her nationality, and tried her best to preserve the family property.She knew very well that the reason why she ended up like that in her previous life was that, apart from being implicated by the Rongguo Mansion, the most important thing was her own death.Like Mrs. Wang, without any evidence of crime, if she hadn't been able to survive, she would have been released in the end.And Mother Jia, with today's behavior, even if Jia's family is dead, she will not attack an old woman who is already over [-] years old.For another example, the widowed Li Wan, the young Baoyu and Jia Lan...
Even if the Rongguo Mansion falls back to the situation in the previous life, because Wang Xifeng has never done anything utterly unconscionable in this life, she will not be convicted of it.At most, bear the crime of being implicated, and after all the dust settles, whether she, sister Qiao, or brother Rong, they can all be released naturally.At that time, with Grandma Liu and Ping'er behind her, she will have a very good life in the future, at least she will not end up like in her previous life.
However, this is the worst possible outcome.
Wang Xifeng didn't want to be reborn, she could only get out in this way.What's more, she is a woman, sister Qiao and Brother Rong are just children, it is not difficult to get rid of the crime, but what about Jia Lian?The hatred in the previous life before dying has long since dissipated.She no longer hated Jia Lian, and it was impossible for her to watch him be convicted and exiled for three thousand miles.
Also, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, Xichun...
"master."
Suddenly, Wang Xifeng fell on his knees and respectfully kowtowed twice to Jia She.It was only after she was reborn that she realized that she was not really a loner, nor could she be truly cold-hearted.She wants to save far more people than she originally estimated!Unfortunately, she cannot be saved.
"You, what are you doing?" Jia Amnesty was taken aback by Wang Xifeng's sudden move, and subconsciously took two steps back.Although it is common for a daughter-in-law to kneel down to her father-in-law, it is a bit bluffing for her to come here for no reason.Unexpectedly, Jia She couldn't step forward to help Wang Xifeng up, so after calming down, Jia She immediately glared fiercely at Mrs. Xing, and shouted angrily, "Are you blind? What are you doing there? "
Mrs. Xing was so frightened that she jumped up on the spot, because she is not too young, and even Hun'er has not yet settled down, so she hastily stepped forward and pulled Wang Xifeng up from the ground, and said with a white face : "What's the matter? What happened just now?"
Come on, after making a fuss for a long time, Mrs. Xing didn't understand what kind of charades were going on between Jia She and Wang Xifeng.
"Shut up and just wait!" Jia She glared at Mrs. Xing with a look of hatred, and then looked suspiciously at Wang Xifeng, "Daughter-in-law Lian, what is your intention?"
Maybe Wang Xifeng has many shortcomings, but she is not stupid at all.
Wang Xifeng stood up, pondered for a while, and said: "Since I opened the skylight to speak the truth, then I will tell the truth. Now, thanks to the old lady's trust, I am able to take charge of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, but there is one thing that the master seems to have forgotten. The huge Rongguo Mansion has been in the hands of the old lady for decades, and it has been in the hands of the second wife for 20 years. It has only been a few years since it fell into my hands. Let me ask you, what virtue and ability can I have? The accounts of the government have been sorted out?"
"What did you say?" Jia Amnesty said with a livid face, "Could it be that there is no money in the public?"
"The three festivals and two birthdays over the years have gathered a lot of things, such as clothes for four seasons, silk and satin, and various ornaments... There are indeed a lot of things, but none of them can be used as money. Not only that, I these days Looking at it coldly, even if there are more than a dozen warehouses in the house, they are full, but none of the really valuable things are kept. Besides, apart from those antiques, which things are still valuable after a long time? Good! How much is the silk and satin worth if it is left on the shelf for a few years?"
Wang Xifeng watched Jia She's complexion become more and more ugly, but he didn't stop talking, he just said: "But these are not the most worrying. Master, I don't know if you still remember, when our Jia family was in prison in Yangzhou, Gusu. When building boats and repairing sea ponds, I took over the boat once, and at that time, I wasted my money in the sea. Although I was not married at that time, no, it should be because I was not born yet, but I also roughly knew it. Our family spent as much as one million taels of silver at one time."
Mrs. Xing gasped, her face full of shock.
What is the concept of millions of taels?An ordinary family in Beijing, with five or six members in a family, spends at most three or four taels of silver on food throughout the year.Even for a family like Rongguo Mansion, the income of Zhuangzi and the shop in a year is only tens of thousands of taels of silver.This is still a good time, like the previous two years, the weather was not good, and the income for two consecutive years was only ten thousand taels of silver.It is definitely enough to live a life, but who made the Rongguo Mansion always talk about pomp?Year after year, not only did he not save a dime, but he even emptied his foundation.
"How long ago did that happen, why are you talking about that? Besides, it's a gift from the saint to our family!" Jia Amnesty first gouged Mrs. Xing with a look of disgust, and then said to Wang Xifeng.
"Yes, this is grace, but the grace has to be repaid!" Wang Xifeng smiled wryly, and she slowly realized many things after the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked and wiped out in her previous life.Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything at that time.
"What do you want to pay back?"
Seeing Jia Amnesty who was confused, Wang Xifeng felt even more helpless.It's okay to say that she is ignorant as a woman, after all, the Wang family's education of the girl's family is really not very careful.But Jia Amnesty is the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, and he is still in the fog at this age. It really has to make people question the Jia family's upbringing.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "The money spent by our mansion to pick up the driver was not paid by the mansion, but an IOU with the Ministry of Households. Since it was borrowed, it must be repaid. Previously, the Supreme Emperor was merciful. , said that no interest will be charged and no time limit. But now it is changed to the current throne, can the master guarantee that he will never mention the matter of repaying the money now? You know, the money owed by our family is no more, no less, exactly 100 Ten thousand taels."
Jia She looked at Wang Xifeng with an expression of "you're fucking teasing me", while Mrs. Xing simply fell to the ground limply. Wang Xifeng reacted fairly quickly and reached out to help Mrs. Xing, but she didn't want Jia She to let her go. Hastily said: "Don't worry about her, you can't die left and right, you hurry up and talk about the money you owe!"
I can really see the status of Mrs. Xing in Jia She's eyes.However, Jia She was not the only one who thought this way, even Mrs. Xing looked at Wang Xifeng, she was only weak and not dizzy.
"Actually, the debt owed is not the most worrisome thing. After all, our family has owed money for many years. We never asked for it before. Even if we ask for it now, it won't make us lose the money overnight. It has been sorted out. There is one more thing, which hangs over our heads day and night, but we have to take care of it.”
"Anything else?!" Jia She even changed his voice.
Wang Xifeng straightened his expression, adjusted his words a bit, and said slowly: "I don't know if the master has heard about the provincial hospital?"
Seeing that Jia Amnesty was at a loss, Wang Xifeng knew that this matter had not been spread.However, even if it has not spread yet, it is estimated that it will be soon.After the new year is over, it's time to make a decree now, but by then even the common people will know, so it's just guesswork like now.
"I found out from the old lady. She said that today she is sympathetic to the concubines in the harem who miss their family and relatives. In addition to allowing relatives to enter the palace and waiting for visits, they also allow those who have homes in Chongyu other courtyards in Beijing to invite the inner court. When Luan Yu enters his private residence, it is the provincial court."
This is the grace of a saint, a glory that no one else can ask for.If it was put before today, even if it was the daughter of the Second Household who brought honor to the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She still felt honored.But the problem is that just now he was frightened by Wang Xifeng so that three souls lost two and a half souls, so how could he care about glory?
At that moment, Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked: "But you need to spend money again?"
Needless to say, this time Jia Amnesty has accurately found the key point.
Decades ago, when Jia's family was still in Yangzhou, Gusu, they spent a lot of money to pick up the driver.In fact, to put it bluntly, all the money was spent on the Taishanghuang, so the Taishanghuang also allowed the Jia family to borrow money from the Ministry of Households.At that time, no one in Jia's mansion cared about the money owed, after all, the money was not spent by the people in Jia's mansion.Then, by the same token, it can be proved that this provincial house was built for the virtuous concubine, and it is said that the water poured out by the married daughter is still money spent for the royal family.But this time, can I still borrow money?Or, should I repay the borrowed silver?
Seeing through Jia Amnesty's thoughts at a glance, Wang Xifeng nodded with great certainty: "It will cost a lot of money, and you can no longer reach out to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Maybe after this time, the debt owed will be pursued now. After all, our government Is it possible to build a family home even if there is no money in the world?"
That's right, the last time it cost a lot of money to pick up the driver, this time it still costs a lot of money to build a family home.But the last time I owed the money, I was able to pick up the driver smoothly. This time, I can't borrow the money. Will the provincial house be built by then?
It can be seen that the Rongguo Mansion is rich!
fart!
Jia Amnesty was almost about to swear, what exactly is this?In vain, he remembered that when he was in Rongqing Hall last night, he scared Jia Mu to death. At that time, he also said that the person who could scare him hadn't been born yet, but now he was scared by his own daughter-in-law. It's so frustrating.Does this count as retribution?
"Master, do you know how much it will cost to build a relative's house?" Wang Xifeng still thought it was not enough, and asked back.
"Say it!" Without blaming Wang Xifeng, Jia Amnesty squeezed out two words viciously from between his teeth.
"Let's talk about it first. The provincial house is really built. Where are we going to build it? We don't have such a big open space in our house. If we think about it, we can only raze some places to the ground and build another one." The grounds of Rongxi Hall and Rongqing Hall must not be moved. They are the foundation of our Rongguo Mansion. Except for these two places, the only things that can be moved are the east and west. But the west side is close to the street. You can't even use it, so as not to pollute your mother's ears when the time comes. Therefore, the only thing that can move is the east. But if you move the east, I'm afraid that your garden will definitely be lost, sir, and you may even live in it. More than half of the land has been allocated. If it is not enough, we have to think about the land on the Ningguo Mansion."
"Fuck your fucking fart!"
This time, Jia Amnesty really couldn't hold back.As the heir of Xijue, it is aggrieved not to be able to live in the Rongxi Hall, which symbolizes the position of the head of the family, but because of Jiamu's partiality, Jia Amnesty really has no choice but to swallow his anger first, and then slowly figure it out.But now he can't even keep his old courtyard in the east?Why?It was left to him by his father!
Anger turned into anger, but Jia She understood that Wang Xifeng did not lie to him.No matter how uncommon things are, Jia She still has a clear picture of the structure of the entire Rongguo Mansion.Indeed, according to Wang Xifeng's words, if he really wanted to break ground to build the Provincial Court, he might not only lose his East Court, but also the Ningguo Mansion would have to cede some land, after all, he would have to receive the Palace's other court. , is absolutely shabby.
Therefore, Jia Amnesty could only hold back his anger and said bitterly: "Lian's daughter-in-law, you continue to talk!"
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, she was very clear that Jia She was not angry at her, so she didn't have the slightest fear, she just continued: "It's not enough to demarcate the land, but first people have to get all the original houses and gardens. If it is flattened, it will be possible to build another courtyard. The cost of flattening alone may be quite a lot. When everything is ready, the house will be built. If it is left in the past, the cost may be acceptable, but it is born in Beijing today. Our family is not the only one who builds relatives' homes. In this way, the various expenses are likely to be rolled up again and again. I have estimated that the two items of bulldozing and building houses in other homes are probably not 5 yuan. Two silver coins are determined not to be taken down."
However, this is just the beginning.
The so-called family homes are definitely not just the buildings. After the completion of the Grand View Garden, there are only a few buildings.On the contrary, various rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, moonlight in lotus ponds, and rare flowers and trees will definitely cost several times more than building houses.
According to Wang Xifeng, it would cost at least 5 taels of silver to overthrow the original house and build a new house in another courtyard.Rockery and strange stones and other things are at least 30 taels.After all, there are many things that everyone is fighting for at that time, and the other courtyard used to entertain the empresses in the palace must be as exquisite as a fairyland, so how can the cost be less?
Rare flowers and trees are by no means easy to deal with. In the previous life, Wang Xifeng really took advantage of them in order to compete for work.Just think about it, if there is no oil and water in it, who would run to her to ask for work when they are full?Flowers and trees alone cost at least 5 taels of silver.
There are also such things as going to Gusu to hire teachers to buy opera actors, buy musical instruments, etc., which one does not cost money?At that time, this item was not paid from the Rongguo Mansion, but because the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River received 5 taels of silver from the Jia family, they simply moved it here.Wang Xifeng clearly remembered that this item alone cost 3 taels of silver, and the remaining [-] taels were also used for the purchase of candles, lanterns and curtains of various colors.
With such a rough calculation, the Grand View Garden would cost at least 50 taels of silver. However, Wang Xifeng, who has experienced the previous life, knows very well that the real cost is far more than the budget.
The money is allocated layer by layer, plus there are many and trivial things, even if a little bit is missed here, and a point is left over there, the sum of all kinds of things added together is still a large sum.
The Rongguo Mansion built a Grand View Garden, which enriched the pockets of many people. Wang Xifeng also thought that he took the opportunity to make a lot of money, not to mention other housekeepers.Not to mention, the Jia mansion built a grand view garden, but Lai everyone also built a small garden with exquisite workmanship, which is completely a miniature version of the grand view garden. May I ask, where did the money for the garden come from?
In addition, the Grand View Garden was not built overnight. It took a year and a half and costly maintenance. Wang Xifeng vaguely remembered that at that time, the number of flowers and flowers changed several times within a year and a half. But what is the real reason, who knows?
"...Master, we spent millions of taels of silver back then, and now this family home will never be lower than it was then. Another point, now that the empress is in the palace, our house may sometimes subsidize it. Not to mention, in the first two days alone, the second wife used this as an excuse to withdraw 1000 taels of silver from the company."
Compared with the amount that was scared to death just now, 1000 taels of silver is really not much, but this time, two times is not much, what about ten times and eight times?Dozens or hundreds of times?Even if Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper now, she can't refuse Mrs. Wang to withdraw money in the name of a virtuous concubine. As for where Mrs. Wang moved the money, Wang Xifeng has no way to ask, and it is impossible for people to find out one by one.
This is bound to be a muddled account.
Wang Xifeng sighed again, and concluded: "Now, our family has long been short of money, but because of the previous pick-up, we owe the Ministry of Households 100 million taels of silver. Next, we will supervise the construction of the Provincial Hospital. One million taels. As for the expenses of the empress in the palace, I can't calculate it yet, but every time Xia Shouzhong and Eunuch Xia come over, we have to give a lot of rewards, all of which come from the palace."
One million taels, another one million taels, and a huge maintenance fee like a bottomless pit, as well as money for the palace...
Jia Amnesty thought that he could immediately smile at Jiuquan.
"Master, now do you understand why I never thought about letting Brother Rong inherit Rongguo Mansion?" Wang Xifeng's smile was bitter but bitter, "Guogong Mansion, sounds really good. But Master seems to have forgotten Well, the old lady has passed away long ago, and the current Guogong Mansion is supported by the old lady's orders. The wife's orders follow the husband, but they cannot be passed on to the next generation. Then, after the old lady is a hundred years old, our Rongguo Mansion will be Does it still exist?"
"It's not that I'm still there..." Jia She only finished speaking halfway, and then stopped abruptly.
He is a hereditary first-class general, not the Duke of Chaopin!
In fact, if one really counts it, from the moment Jia Daishan passed away, the so-called Rongguo Mansion has long been misplaced.It's just that the Supreme Emperor has always been kind and generous, and no one has the same knowledge as an old minister, so he hangs up as he hangs up.But what about the future?Will he still treat veterans as kindly as the Supreme Emperor?If not, for the so-called first-class general's mansion, he would have to pay such a huge amount of money owed at a sky-high price? !
At least 200 million taels of silver...
"Master, for the sake of the second master Lian being your own son, and for the reason that Brother Rong is your only grandson, it is better to leave the Rongguo Mansion to the second bedroom. Thinking about it, the old lady has accumulated all her life. There must be a lot of money, and there is also the second wife. When she married, it was the time when the four major families were most prosperous, and there must be a lot of dowry and wealth. Forget about giving the Rongguo Mansion and the title to the second wife. Come cleanly and leave cleanly, so as not to make trouble in the end and end up with nothing but personal wealth."
When Wang Xifeng said this, he kowtowed to Jia She again and said, "Thank you, master."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jia Amnesty and Madam Xing to say anything, Wang Xifeng got up and left.She knew that Jia Amnesty should be given a period of time to let him slowly accept this cruel fact that was almost unreasonable.
Isn't it cruel?
Isn't it unreasonable to make trouble?
When Jia She thought that after waiting for Jia Mu for a hundred years, he would definitely be able to drive the second house out of the house, and then his own house would be able to stand up and be the master. .
In the end, Wang Xifeng gave him a blow, letting him know that the Rongguo Mansion would no longer exist, the family property would be nothing, and the only remaining title was nothing compared to the huge debt of 200 million taels of silver.After all, his title is hereditary, not hereditary.
Compared with the second room, Jia Mu managed the family for half her life, saved countless personal money, and brought ten miles of red makeup from the historian back then, all of which were to be left to her precious Jin Sun Baoyu.Mrs. Wang has also been in charge of the family for 20 years. With the ability of Wang's daughter to raise money, can she not scrape a few layers of oil and water from Rongguo Mansion?Moreover, Mrs. Wang also has a daughter of a virtuous concubine, who can blatantly take money from the public in this name alone.One more thing, although Jia's mother is old, there is no problem in living a few more years.When the time comes, won't Baoyu's marriage, Tanchun's marriage, Jia Huan's marriage, and Jia Lan's younger generation all cost money?By the way, Jia Zheng's official career also needs money to explore the way. Among these various things, which one did not come from the public?
Jia Amnesty is not such a lofty and arrogant person as Jia Zheng, he is a layman through and through.
There are some things that Jia Amnesty never thought of before. After all, he is a man, so it is impossible to stick to the backyard.But now, after hearing Wang Xifeng's alarmist words, he woke up with a start, as if he lived on a dog decades ago, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he was enlightened.
He couldn't help but think too much.
Thinking about Jiamu's hundred years later, he won Rongguo Mansion but soon lost Rongguo Mansion. He won the family property but it was empty, and he won the title but it was passed down. His children and grandchildren are breathless.
What about the second room?After losing Jia Mu, they can still live a good life, because they have all the savings of the Rongguo Mansion for more than a hundred years, but they don't have to bear any money owed.After all, they are not the ones who seize the title.
At that time, the eldest house will be poor and poor, but the second house will be rich and honored as before...
Fart the fuck! !
"Mr. Xing! You'd better rot in your stomach about today's matter, but if you dare to spread a word, I will kill your whole family!!!"
The author has something to say:
Wang Xifeng: I finally left the problem to others~~︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
Jia Amnesty: ...I am also a bitch!convex
Mrs. Xing: I don't know anything. QQ
When Wang Xifeng heard this sentence, her first thought was neither luck nor helplessness, but that she missed Jia Lian who had not yet returned to Beijing.
Jia Lian should really listen to what his father said! !It was as if Jia Lian, the only legitimate son, had never been taken seriously!Or, is this purely to win her over?
After being silent for a while, Wang Xifeng had to admit that Jia Amnesty really thought highly of her, and even understood her quite well, knowing that Jia Lian alone was not enough, so he put the heavy treasure on Brother Rong in a daze.After all, even if Wang Xifeng had the possibility of betraying Jia Lian, he decided that it would be impossible for him to disregard his own son.It's a pity that in the eyes of others, the wonderful Rongguo Mansion is just a hot potato to her.
"Is this not enough bargaining chips?" Jia She frowned deeply, with a faint hint of displeasure on his face.He thought it was extremely sincere to take out such a bargaining chip, and Wang Xifeng should readily accept it.Or did he miscalculate the degree of greed of Wang's daughter?
Facing Jia Amnesty's questioning, Wang Xifeng just had a bitter mouth.Jia Amnesty's meaning couldn't be clearer, to drive out the second room, let the whole Rongguo mansion fall into the hands of the first room, and make a promise that the person who will inherit the Rongguo mansion in the future must be her brother Rong.In good conscience, such a promise is really good.Even if Jia Lian is left out, it means that Cong'er born from a concubine cannot inherit anything, and even if Jia Lian has a concubine with another woman in the future, he will not have the right to inherit either.To put it even more harshly, Jia Amnesty almost made it clear that he would send the bastard out of the house.
Should she thank the Elder Master for his kindness?
Wang Xifeng smiled wryly, and after a while, he said: "Thanks to the master's attention, but there is one thing, the master may not know about it."
"What's the matter?"
"The huge Rongguo Mansion looks like it is full of flowers, but in fact there is only an empty shelf left. I can even say that even if it is just an empty shelf, it is better than it is now. Master, it doesn't matter whether it is me or Second Master Lian. I never cared who the Rongguo Mansion will fall into in the future."
"What do you mean?" Jia Amnesty originally wanted to use the inheritance rights of the Rongguo Mansion to join hands with Wang Xifeng to force the second room away, but when he heard this, he felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet, and suddenly hit him Shivering, he shouted, "Lian's daughter-in-law, I have always known that you are a smart person, so please speak clearly today!"
Wang Xifeng was silent.
In fact, since the day she was reborn, she has been thinking about how to get out of the vortex of right and wrong more than once.Time and time again, no matter whether she started with Jia Lian, or Jia Mu, or hated her to the extreme, she thought about simply leaving with her children, but of course that was impossible.Later, she simply found Grandma Liu and Ping'er, who had changed her nationality, and tried her best to preserve the family property.She knew very well that the reason why she ended up like that in her previous life was that, apart from being implicated by the Rongguo Mansion, the most important thing was her own death.Like Mrs. Wang, without any evidence of crime, if she hadn't been able to survive, she would have been released in the end.And Mother Jia, with today's behavior, even if Jia's family is dead, she will not attack an old woman who is already over [-] years old.For another example, the widowed Li Wan, the young Baoyu and Jia Lan...
Even if the Rongguo Mansion falls back to the situation in the previous life, because Wang Xifeng has never done anything utterly unconscionable in this life, she will not be convicted of it.At most, bear the crime of being implicated, and after all the dust settles, whether she, sister Qiao, or brother Rong, they can all be released naturally.At that time, with Grandma Liu and Ping'er behind her, she will have a very good life in the future, at least she will not end up like in her previous life.
However, this is the worst possible outcome.
Wang Xifeng didn't want to be reborn, she could only get out in this way.What's more, she is a woman, sister Qiao and Brother Rong are just children, it is not difficult to get rid of the crime, but what about Jia Lian?The hatred in the previous life before dying has long since dissipated.She no longer hated Jia Lian, and it was impossible for her to watch him be convicted and exiled for three thousand miles.
Also, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, Xichun...
"master."
Suddenly, Wang Xifeng fell on his knees and respectfully kowtowed twice to Jia She.It was only after she was reborn that she realized that she was not really a loner, nor could she be truly cold-hearted.She wants to save far more people than she originally estimated!Unfortunately, she cannot be saved.
"You, what are you doing?" Jia Amnesty was taken aback by Wang Xifeng's sudden move, and subconsciously took two steps back.Although it is common for a daughter-in-law to kneel down to her father-in-law, it is a bit bluffing for her to come here for no reason.Unexpectedly, Jia She couldn't step forward to help Wang Xifeng up, so after calming down, Jia She immediately glared fiercely at Mrs. Xing, and shouted angrily, "Are you blind? What are you doing there? "
Mrs. Xing was so frightened that she jumped up on the spot, because she is not too young, and even Hun'er has not yet settled down, so she hastily stepped forward and pulled Wang Xifeng up from the ground, and said with a white face : "What's the matter? What happened just now?"
Come on, after making a fuss for a long time, Mrs. Xing didn't understand what kind of charades were going on between Jia She and Wang Xifeng.
"Shut up and just wait!" Jia She glared at Mrs. Xing with a look of hatred, and then looked suspiciously at Wang Xifeng, "Daughter-in-law Lian, what is your intention?"
Maybe Wang Xifeng has many shortcomings, but she is not stupid at all.
Wang Xifeng stood up, pondered for a while, and said: "Since I opened the skylight to speak the truth, then I will tell the truth. Now, thanks to the old lady's trust, I am able to take charge of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, but there is one thing that the master seems to have forgotten. The huge Rongguo Mansion has been in the hands of the old lady for decades, and it has been in the hands of the second wife for 20 years. It has only been a few years since it fell into my hands. Let me ask you, what virtue and ability can I have? The accounts of the government have been sorted out?"
"What did you say?" Jia Amnesty said with a livid face, "Could it be that there is no money in the public?"
"The three festivals and two birthdays over the years have gathered a lot of things, such as clothes for four seasons, silk and satin, and various ornaments... There are indeed a lot of things, but none of them can be used as money. Not only that, I these days Looking at it coldly, even if there are more than a dozen warehouses in the house, they are full, but none of the really valuable things are kept. Besides, apart from those antiques, which things are still valuable after a long time? Good! How much is the silk and satin worth if it is left on the shelf for a few years?"
Wang Xifeng watched Jia She's complexion become more and more ugly, but he didn't stop talking, he just said: "But these are not the most worrying. Master, I don't know if you still remember, when our Jia family was in prison in Yangzhou, Gusu. When building boats and repairing sea ponds, I took over the boat once, and at that time, I wasted my money in the sea. Although I was not married at that time, no, it should be because I was not born yet, but I also roughly knew it. Our family spent as much as one million taels of silver at one time."
Mrs. Xing gasped, her face full of shock.
What is the concept of millions of taels?An ordinary family in Beijing, with five or six members in a family, spends at most three or four taels of silver on food throughout the year.Even for a family like Rongguo Mansion, the income of Zhuangzi and the shop in a year is only tens of thousands of taels of silver.This is still a good time, like the previous two years, the weather was not good, and the income for two consecutive years was only ten thousand taels of silver.It is definitely enough to live a life, but who made the Rongguo Mansion always talk about pomp?Year after year, not only did he not save a dime, but he even emptied his foundation.
"How long ago did that happen, why are you talking about that? Besides, it's a gift from the saint to our family!" Jia Amnesty first gouged Mrs. Xing with a look of disgust, and then said to Wang Xifeng.
"Yes, this is grace, but the grace has to be repaid!" Wang Xifeng smiled wryly, and she slowly realized many things after the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked and wiped out in her previous life.Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything at that time.
"What do you want to pay back?"
Seeing Jia Amnesty who was confused, Wang Xifeng felt even more helpless.It's okay to say that she is ignorant as a woman, after all, the Wang family's education of the girl's family is really not very careful.But Jia Amnesty is the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, and he is still in the fog at this age. It really has to make people question the Jia family's upbringing.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "The money spent by our mansion to pick up the driver was not paid by the mansion, but an IOU with the Ministry of Households. Since it was borrowed, it must be repaid. Previously, the Supreme Emperor was merciful. , said that no interest will be charged and no time limit. But now it is changed to the current throne, can the master guarantee that he will never mention the matter of repaying the money now? You know, the money owed by our family is no more, no less, exactly 100 Ten thousand taels."
Jia She looked at Wang Xifeng with an expression of "you're fucking teasing me", while Mrs. Xing simply fell to the ground limply. Wang Xifeng reacted fairly quickly and reached out to help Mrs. Xing, but she didn't want Jia She to let her go. Hastily said: "Don't worry about her, you can't die left and right, you hurry up and talk about the money you owe!"
I can really see the status of Mrs. Xing in Jia She's eyes.However, Jia She was not the only one who thought this way, even Mrs. Xing looked at Wang Xifeng, she was only weak and not dizzy.
"Actually, the debt owed is not the most worrisome thing. After all, our family has owed money for many years. We never asked for it before. Even if we ask for it now, it won't make us lose the money overnight. It has been sorted out. There is one more thing, which hangs over our heads day and night, but we have to take care of it.”
"Anything else?!" Jia She even changed his voice.
Wang Xifeng straightened his expression, adjusted his words a bit, and said slowly: "I don't know if the master has heard about the provincial hospital?"
Seeing that Jia Amnesty was at a loss, Wang Xifeng knew that this matter had not been spread.However, even if it has not spread yet, it is estimated that it will be soon.After the new year is over, it's time to make a decree now, but by then even the common people will know, so it's just guesswork like now.
"I found out from the old lady. She said that today she is sympathetic to the concubines in the harem who miss their family and relatives. In addition to allowing relatives to enter the palace and waiting for visits, they also allow those who have homes in Chongyu other courtyards in Beijing to invite the inner court. When Luan Yu enters his private residence, it is the provincial court."
This is the grace of a saint, a glory that no one else can ask for.If it was put before today, even if it was the daughter of the Second Household who brought honor to the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She still felt honored.But the problem is that just now he was frightened by Wang Xifeng so that three souls lost two and a half souls, so how could he care about glory?
At that moment, Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked: "But you need to spend money again?"
Needless to say, this time Jia Amnesty has accurately found the key point.
Decades ago, when Jia's family was still in Yangzhou, Gusu, they spent a lot of money to pick up the driver.In fact, to put it bluntly, all the money was spent on the Taishanghuang, so the Taishanghuang also allowed the Jia family to borrow money from the Ministry of Households.At that time, no one in Jia's mansion cared about the money owed, after all, the money was not spent by the people in Jia's mansion.Then, by the same token, it can be proved that this provincial house was built for the virtuous concubine, and it is said that the water poured out by the married daughter is still money spent for the royal family.But this time, can I still borrow money?Or, should I repay the borrowed silver?
Seeing through Jia Amnesty's thoughts at a glance, Wang Xifeng nodded with great certainty: "It will cost a lot of money, and you can no longer reach out to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Maybe after this time, the debt owed will be pursued now. After all, our government Is it possible to build a family home even if there is no money in the world?"
That's right, the last time it cost a lot of money to pick up the driver, this time it still costs a lot of money to build a family home.But the last time I owed the money, I was able to pick up the driver smoothly. This time, I can't borrow the money. Will the provincial house be built by then?
It can be seen that the Rongguo Mansion is rich!
fart!
Jia Amnesty was almost about to swear, what exactly is this?In vain, he remembered that when he was in Rongqing Hall last night, he scared Jia Mu to death. At that time, he also said that the person who could scare him hadn't been born yet, but now he was scared by his own daughter-in-law. It's so frustrating.Does this count as retribution?
"Master, do you know how much it will cost to build a relative's house?" Wang Xifeng still thought it was not enough, and asked back.
"Say it!" Without blaming Wang Xifeng, Jia Amnesty squeezed out two words viciously from between his teeth.
"Let's talk about it first. The provincial house is really built. Where are we going to build it? We don't have such a big open space in our house. If we think about it, we can only raze some places to the ground and build another one." The grounds of Rongxi Hall and Rongqing Hall must not be moved. They are the foundation of our Rongguo Mansion. Except for these two places, the only things that can be moved are the east and west. But the west side is close to the street. You can't even use it, so as not to pollute your mother's ears when the time comes. Therefore, the only thing that can move is the east. But if you move the east, I'm afraid that your garden will definitely be lost, sir, and you may even live in it. More than half of the land has been allocated. If it is not enough, we have to think about the land on the Ningguo Mansion."
"Fuck your fucking fart!"
This time, Jia Amnesty really couldn't hold back.As the heir of Xijue, it is aggrieved not to be able to live in the Rongxi Hall, which symbolizes the position of the head of the family, but because of Jiamu's partiality, Jia Amnesty really has no choice but to swallow his anger first, and then slowly figure it out.But now he can't even keep his old courtyard in the east?Why?It was left to him by his father!
Anger turned into anger, but Jia She understood that Wang Xifeng did not lie to him.No matter how uncommon things are, Jia She still has a clear picture of the structure of the entire Rongguo Mansion.Indeed, according to Wang Xifeng's words, if he really wanted to break ground to build the Provincial Court, he might not only lose his East Court, but also the Ningguo Mansion would have to cede some land, after all, he would have to receive the Palace's other court. , is absolutely shabby.
Therefore, Jia Amnesty could only hold back his anger and said bitterly: "Lian's daughter-in-law, you continue to talk!"
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, she was very clear that Jia She was not angry at her, so she didn't have the slightest fear, she just continued: "It's not enough to demarcate the land, but first people have to get all the original houses and gardens. If it is flattened, it will be possible to build another courtyard. The cost of flattening alone may be quite a lot. When everything is ready, the house will be built. If it is left in the past, the cost may be acceptable, but it is born in Beijing today. Our family is not the only one who builds relatives' homes. In this way, the various expenses are likely to be rolled up again and again. I have estimated that the two items of bulldozing and building houses in other homes are probably not 5 yuan. Two silver coins are determined not to be taken down."
However, this is just the beginning.
The so-called family homes are definitely not just the buildings. After the completion of the Grand View Garden, there are only a few buildings.On the contrary, various rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, moonlight in lotus ponds, and rare flowers and trees will definitely cost several times more than building houses.
According to Wang Xifeng, it would cost at least 5 taels of silver to overthrow the original house and build a new house in another courtyard.Rockery and strange stones and other things are at least 30 taels.After all, there are many things that everyone is fighting for at that time, and the other courtyard used to entertain the empresses in the palace must be as exquisite as a fairyland, so how can the cost be less?
Rare flowers and trees are by no means easy to deal with. In the previous life, Wang Xifeng really took advantage of them in order to compete for work.Just think about it, if there is no oil and water in it, who would run to her to ask for work when they are full?Flowers and trees alone cost at least 5 taels of silver.
There are also such things as going to Gusu to hire teachers to buy opera actors, buy musical instruments, etc., which one does not cost money?At that time, this item was not paid from the Rongguo Mansion, but because the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River received 5 taels of silver from the Jia family, they simply moved it here.Wang Xifeng clearly remembered that this item alone cost 3 taels of silver, and the remaining [-] taels were also used for the purchase of candles, lanterns and curtains of various colors.
With such a rough calculation, the Grand View Garden would cost at least 50 taels of silver. However, Wang Xifeng, who has experienced the previous life, knows very well that the real cost is far more than the budget.
The money is allocated layer by layer, plus there are many and trivial things, even if a little bit is missed here, and a point is left over there, the sum of all kinds of things added together is still a large sum.
The Rongguo Mansion built a Grand View Garden, which enriched the pockets of many people. Wang Xifeng also thought that he took the opportunity to make a lot of money, not to mention other housekeepers.Not to mention, the Jia mansion built a grand view garden, but Lai everyone also built a small garden with exquisite workmanship, which is completely a miniature version of the grand view garden. May I ask, where did the money for the garden come from?
In addition, the Grand View Garden was not built overnight. It took a year and a half and costly maintenance. Wang Xifeng vaguely remembered that at that time, the number of flowers and flowers changed several times within a year and a half. But what is the real reason, who knows?
"...Master, we spent millions of taels of silver back then, and now this family home will never be lower than it was then. Another point, now that the empress is in the palace, our house may sometimes subsidize it. Not to mention, in the first two days alone, the second wife used this as an excuse to withdraw 1000 taels of silver from the company."
Compared with the amount that was scared to death just now, 1000 taels of silver is really not much, but this time, two times is not much, what about ten times and eight times?Dozens or hundreds of times?Even if Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper now, she can't refuse Mrs. Wang to withdraw money in the name of a virtuous concubine. As for where Mrs. Wang moved the money, Wang Xifeng has no way to ask, and it is impossible for people to find out one by one.
This is bound to be a muddled account.
Wang Xifeng sighed again, and concluded: "Now, our family has long been short of money, but because of the previous pick-up, we owe the Ministry of Households 100 million taels of silver. Next, we will supervise the construction of the Provincial Hospital. One million taels. As for the expenses of the empress in the palace, I can't calculate it yet, but every time Xia Shouzhong and Eunuch Xia come over, we have to give a lot of rewards, all of which come from the palace."
One million taels, another one million taels, and a huge maintenance fee like a bottomless pit, as well as money for the palace...
Jia Amnesty thought that he could immediately smile at Jiuquan.
"Master, now do you understand why I never thought about letting Brother Rong inherit Rongguo Mansion?" Wang Xifeng's smile was bitter but bitter, "Guogong Mansion, sounds really good. But Master seems to have forgotten Well, the old lady has passed away long ago, and the current Guogong Mansion is supported by the old lady's orders. The wife's orders follow the husband, but they cannot be passed on to the next generation. Then, after the old lady is a hundred years old, our Rongguo Mansion will be Does it still exist?"
"It's not that I'm still there..." Jia She only finished speaking halfway, and then stopped abruptly.
He is a hereditary first-class general, not the Duke of Chaopin!
In fact, if one really counts it, from the moment Jia Daishan passed away, the so-called Rongguo Mansion has long been misplaced.It's just that the Supreme Emperor has always been kind and generous, and no one has the same knowledge as an old minister, so he hangs up as he hangs up.But what about the future?Will he still treat veterans as kindly as the Supreme Emperor?If not, for the so-called first-class general's mansion, he would have to pay such a huge amount of money owed at a sky-high price? !
At least 200 million taels of silver...
"Master, for the sake of the second master Lian being your own son, and for the reason that Brother Rong is your only grandson, it is better to leave the Rongguo Mansion to the second bedroom. Thinking about it, the old lady has accumulated all her life. There must be a lot of money, and there is also the second wife. When she married, it was the time when the four major families were most prosperous, and there must be a lot of dowry and wealth. Forget about giving the Rongguo Mansion and the title to the second wife. Come cleanly and leave cleanly, so as not to make trouble in the end and end up with nothing but personal wealth."
When Wang Xifeng said this, he kowtowed to Jia She again and said, "Thank you, master."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jia Amnesty and Madam Xing to say anything, Wang Xifeng got up and left.She knew that Jia Amnesty should be given a period of time to let him slowly accept this cruel fact that was almost unreasonable.
Isn't it cruel?
Isn't it unreasonable to make trouble?
When Jia She thought that after waiting for Jia Mu for a hundred years, he would definitely be able to drive the second house out of the house, and then his own house would be able to stand up and be the master. .
In the end, Wang Xifeng gave him a blow, letting him know that the Rongguo Mansion would no longer exist, the family property would be nothing, and the only remaining title was nothing compared to the huge debt of 200 million taels of silver.After all, his title is hereditary, not hereditary.
Compared with the second room, Jia Mu managed the family for half her life, saved countless personal money, and brought ten miles of red makeup from the historian back then, all of which were to be left to her precious Jin Sun Baoyu.Mrs. Wang has also been in charge of the family for 20 years. With the ability of Wang's daughter to raise money, can she not scrape a few layers of oil and water from Rongguo Mansion?Moreover, Mrs. Wang also has a daughter of a virtuous concubine, who can blatantly take money from the public in this name alone.One more thing, although Jia's mother is old, there is no problem in living a few more years.When the time comes, won't Baoyu's marriage, Tanchun's marriage, Jia Huan's marriage, and Jia Lan's younger generation all cost money?By the way, Jia Zheng's official career also needs money to explore the way. Among these various things, which one did not come from the public?
Jia Amnesty is not such a lofty and arrogant person as Jia Zheng, he is a layman through and through.
There are some things that Jia Amnesty never thought of before. After all, he is a man, so it is impossible to stick to the backyard.But now, after hearing Wang Xifeng's alarmist words, he woke up with a start, as if he lived on a dog decades ago, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he was enlightened.
He couldn't help but think too much.
Thinking about Jiamu's hundred years later, he won Rongguo Mansion but soon lost Rongguo Mansion. He won the family property but it was empty, and he won the title but it was passed down. His children and grandchildren are breathless.
What about the second room?After losing Jia Mu, they can still live a good life, because they have all the savings of the Rongguo Mansion for more than a hundred years, but they don't have to bear any money owed.After all, they are not the ones who seize the title.
At that time, the eldest house will be poor and poor, but the second house will be rich and honored as before...
Fart the fuck! !
"Mr. Xing! You'd better rot in your stomach about today's matter, but if you dare to spread a word, I will kill your whole family!!!"
The author has something to say:
Wang Xifeng: I finally left the problem to others~~︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
Jia Amnesty: ...I am also a bitch!convex
Mrs. Xing: I don't know anything. QQ
