The Double Soul of Red Mansions

It should be said that Mother Jia has lived a comfortable life for too long now, and she is living in the fantasy of being one and the same when she was young.She knew very little about Lin Hai, the son-in-law.Otherwise, she wouldn't be so careless and start to sell her elders in front of Lin Hai.

There will never be ifs in this world, and Mother Jia is forcing herself into a dead end at this moment.Now that Lin Hai looks like this, Mother Jia knows that she can't get anything from Lin Hai.

"I have important things to do, so I won't accompany you." Lin Hai didn't bother to pay attention to Mother Jia's attitude, and left with his sleeves flung.

"There's no reason for that." After Jia's mother watched Lin Hai leave, Lin Zhong, a servant, made a gesture of invitation, and angrily slapped his hands on the table. Even Tan Chun felt pain in his hands when he heard the voice.

But Lin Hai, who hadn't gone far, heard a curse secretly, and left without looking back.Seeing that the final time limit for recovering the household bank is approaching, the people in Jia's mansion are really in a hurry.He actually came to the door and asked for money openly, and he didn't even want to cover that fig leaf.He's crazy to mess with these people.

This Lin Zhong made it clear to see off the guests, and Jia's mother hated her teeth, but she really had nothing to do with Lin Zhong.It's not the people in their house, it's up to them to decide whether it's round or flat.

But as soon as Mother Jia got into the carriage, she looked at Tanchun who was silent beside her, thinking that she had lost all her old face today, and the evil fire in her stomach burst out all of a sudden, watching Tanchunqian scold angrily. Said: "You useless thing, it's really embarrassing to bring you here."

Tanchun was angered for no reason, and felt very wronged, but Jia Mu was the big one, and she really didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction as she relied on Jia Mu's face to eat, so she could only reply obediently: "Old ancestor, everyone It's Tanchun's fault, I didn't expect to be of help when I came, but instead made my aunt angry, which is a disservice to you."

Tanchun's doing this can be regarded as a step down for Jiamu. Today, she knew that she would be guilty of the "crime" of running for nothing, so she decided to act first, not only to give Jiamu a step down, but also I can gain a little favor in front of Jiamu.Tanchun was indeed a little smart, he stayed with Jia Mu every day, and knew her somewhat, but Jia Mu really looked better after hearing her words.

Seeing this, Tanchun heaved a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to send it to a higher level. I'm afraid I won't be implicated too badly in the future, right?Tanchun felt a little uneasy.

The Lin family can't count on it, and Jia's mother is really depressed.Now facing the 160 million owed silver, no one is willing to pay out of their own pockets.After all, when the money was borrowed back then, it was spent by the public together.Now it is really difficult to get private pockets.No, I managed to scrape together 30 taels of silver, not even a fraction of it.

Mother Jia thought about Jia Yuanchun in the palace, and Jia Baoyu, and gritted her teeth, thinking that she would take another 10 taels from the private treasury, and the rest had to go from the public.It's just that Jia's mother knew very well, where did the palace get so much money.

"Tan girl, you have been in charge of the house for a while, but do you know how to collect the money owed by the household department?" Jia's mother looked at Tan Chunji on the side, thinking about the old woman's house that was raided by Wang Xifeng last time. With the copied money, Mother Jia felt more and more that her idea was good.

"This, this..." Tanchun didn't know how to answer the question, she remembered that the old ancestors in the mansion were very clear about the account books, and the money was not enough.There is not 100 million taels in the whole mansion, but if the village and some shops are sold off, it may be enough.But Tanchun also knew that those properties were for making money, and Mother Jia would probably not be willing to sell them off.One is reluctance, and the other is that it hurts the face of the Duke's Mansion.Moreover, Tanchun also selfishly thinks that it cannot be sold, which is too pretentious.

"You said that in a mansion like ours, a servant who walks out is richer than ordinary people. It's really extravagant." It doesn't take much brains to talk to smart people. As soon as Jia Mu finished speaking, Tanchun knew what Jia Mu meant, thinking Tanchun was also a little quick-witted about the silver taels that were seized last time. If there were seven or eight of them, it might be really easy to solve this household silver.

Thinking of this possibility, Tanchun followed Jiamu's words and said: "What the old ancestor said is exactly that the slaves in our mansion are becoming more and more unruly, and it is time to rectify them, but it is not easy for me to interfere now!" I don't think that my aunt will hand over the power of stewardship that I have finally taken back to myself, but if my ancestor agrees, then I will be happy. If I can really become a princess, Tanchun wants to plan for himself in advance. .

"Good girl, you still understand the old ancestor's mind." Jia Mu patted Tanchun's hand and said, "When you get back to the mansion, don't say anything, just stand by the side." Jia Mu is really cunning and cunning. After a while, she had already thought of an excellent solution for herself.

Mrs. Wang, who was waiting for news in Jia's mansion, heard that Jia Mu was back, and hurriedly took the maids around her to Jia Mu's yard.Seeing Mother Jia's frosty face, Mrs. Wang was a little puzzled, Lin Hai could really dismiss her own mother-in-law's face?Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but gloated a little. This Jia Min and that girl were just like that. Marrying a husband and son-in-law would be of no use to the mother's family.

"Old lady, what's the matter?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia's mother and pretended to be concerned, "but what troubles did you encounter on the road?" Mrs. Wang would not hit the muzzle of a gun, she asked this It's just to prevent the old lady's anger from burning on him.Look at what you said, if you encounter any troubles on the road, the implication is that you were fine when you left, so how come you are in a bad mood when you go out?On a deeper level, it means that you don't get angry outside and go home to spread the fire.

Why didn't Jia Mu know what Mrs. Wang meant? Hearing the words, she gave Mrs. Wang a hard look and said, "Your daughter of the Wang family is very capable, first is Feng Lazi, and then you, look at how you have managed everything in the house." What does it look like? A slave is not like a slave, and he is more respectable than his master when he walks out. This is being scolded for being unruly, and my old face has been completely humiliated by you."

ah?Mrs. Wang was taken aback. Didn't she go to the Lin family? Why did she and Wang Xifeng get involved?Thinking of Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang felt very upset, and secretly scolded Wang Xifeng for not knowing how to flatter her.He had promoted her for so many years, so if he turned his back on her, he would turn his back on her.

It turned out that since Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were placed under house arrest by Jia Amnesty, they had completely severed all contact with Jia's mansion.Jia Amnesty felt that he was in the same line as the people in Jia's mansion, and these two people are living in dire straits, let alone hooking up with Mrs. Wang.

"Old ancestor, what's the matter with you? Which slave made you angry? Didn't you go to the Lin Manor to borrow money?" Mrs. Wang asked Jia Mu as if nothing happened.

"Borrowing money, I went to Lin's mansion, do you know what they say?" Jia's mother has no face to say what Lin Hai said now, she is angry with Lin Hai, and she has to lie outside for the sake of face. Qu couldn't do it, "As soon as I asked to borrow money, my son-in-law said, 'Mother-in-law, the slaves in your mansion are richer than me, why is such a big mansion asking me to borrow money!' I am so ashamed , hurriedly asked how to say, Ruhai told me that all the servants in the mansion went out and all of them were masters. Tell me, what kind of house do you two manage? The slaves have climbed on the head of the master. Master Eating bran swallowed vegetables here, their life outside is prosperous."

Mother Jia looked at the maids and maids in the house while talking, and when she saw the eyes of Zhou Rui's family, who was the companion of Mrs. Wang, a little dodge, she came up with an idea: "Tell me, what's wrong with this? With the monthly salary of those mothers-in-law, and giving some rewards from time to time, it turned out that this has raised people's hearts. Zhou Rui's family, don't you think so?"

Zhou Rui's family was a little scared. She had been with Mrs. Wang for so many years, and she had saved a lot of property in private.Just now, seeing what the old lady said clearly and looking at me from time to time, I panicked a long time ago. Now that Mother Jia pointed out her names, Zhou Rui's family fell to their knees with a plop.

"What are you doing?" Mother Jia asked with a half-smile, Zhou Rui's family wasn't so timid at first, but the recent style of painting in Jia's mansion has been a little strange since the last time they copied the servant's house, and Zhou Rui's family is not so timid. There was no lack of stealing money for herself, she felt guilty, and she knelt down on the ground without anyone saying anything.

Tanchun has been watching from the sidelines, thinking that the knowledge in this inner house is really great. Originally, everyone was disappointed today and worried that they would be secretly chewed on when they came back, but the words of the old ancestor distorted the facts. Tanchun said To be honest, I really admired it in my heart, and secretly wrote down this method.

"Old ancestor, what are you doing?" Mrs. Wang scolded Lin Hai when she saw Zhou Rui's family's behavior, and looked at what kind of person Jia Min married, so she even provoked the relationship between the family.Zhou Rui's family is her companion, and some money is her acquiescence.But Mrs. Wang also knows that if this is investigated seriously, many things done outside and secretly cannot be hidden.Then the money I earned outside will also be exposed.For the current plan, she can only pretend to be a fool to keep Zhou Rui's family. They are both prosperous and ruined.

"From today onwards, you don't want to be a housekeeper anymore. Take good care of the servants in your house." Mother Jia didn't even look at Mrs. Wang. All paid, nothing else matters.

Tanchun looked at Mrs. Wang, who was angry and dared not speak up, but she was even more eager for power. If she had the same day as her ancestors, wouldn't she be able to say what she said?Can act without looking at anyone's face?Tanchun's desire for power reached its peak for a while.
