Detective in the Red Chamber
Page 586
After only half a month's work, the money and food ran out, so he could only dismiss the servants while asking the Rongguo Mansion for help.
But Rongguo Mansion is not as good as it used to be. It is cutting down on food and clothing to reduce expenses, and it is still possible to rescue Ningguo Mansion. It is absolutely impossible to maintain Jia Zhenjiarong's wives and concubines to continue to live a life of extravagance.
Coupled with Youshi's intentional coercion, within a few months, even Jia Rong's successor, Hu Shi, couldn't stand poverty, and ran away from the mansion to hang out with a few dudes-this is because Jia Zhen and Jia Rong helped him at the beginning. Pave the way.
Up to now, not only Youshi and Fang'er are left in the family, but they also owe a lot of money to the Rongguo Mansion. Although the relationship between the two families, the Rongguo Mansion may not ask for it, but this is by no means a long-term solution.
After understanding the current situation of her family, the blood on Jia Zhen's face faded a little, and she slumped on the bedside and repeatedly muttered: "Why is this so..."
After half a year in prison, he was already haggard. Before, he still had a bit of energy thanks to the drunkenness, but now he was sluggish, and he seemed to be prematurely aging.
Seeing this, Youshi not only did not have any pity and sympathy, but was full of relief and contempt, and then took advantage of the situation and poured cold water on it: "I just heard from Feng Lazi and Aunt Zheng that his family stayed behind to make up for the pardon of the uncle. I’m afraid it’s going to start to become a seller’s property——I’m too embarrassed to fight the autumn wind again at this juncture, the master had better think of a way quickly, and don’t end up being unable to even do relatives.”
Jia Zhen became more and more depressed, looked at the ledger in her arms, and then at Youshi's cold eyebrows, and couldn't help but sighed: "In this rush, where do you want to go?"
Taking a chance, he said: "Besides, although the West Mansion has become a shabby household, at least there are still a few rich relatives here, so it won't be short of our husband and wife's food and clothing expenses, right?"
After finishing speaking, seeing You Shi sneered, Jia Zhen felt a little annoyed, threw the account book on the ground with a slap, and asked, "What about you? Did you ever come up with any good ideas?!"
"Not without ideas."
Youshi just waited for his words, raised his eyebrows and said: "Taiwei Sun is going to get married in a few days, how can he be better with his status..."
"and many more!"
Jia Zhen interrupted her, wondering, "Who is Taiwei Sun?"
"Naturally, he is Sun Jia Erlang, the in-law of Xifu!"
You Shi and You Rongyan raised their faces: "The Empress Dowager [Princess Concubine] hand-picked Master Sun to take over as Admiral of the Dragon Guard. This is a first-rank official position, so naturally it should be honored as Taiwei."
"He actually became the admiral of the Dragon Guard?!"
Jia Zhen doubted that it was in a dream. Although Sun Shaozong had grown rapidly in the past few years, he had long been used to it, but in just a few months, he had been promoted from a fourth-rank official to a first-rank official. It is unacceptable.
Suddenly, he remembered something, hurriedly sent Fang'er out, and then moved closer to You Shi, full of expectation: "Aren't you with him... Hehe, maybe you can ask him to help the master find a good job, From now on, we don’t have to worry about the cost of food and clothing anymore!”
"Pooh!"
Youshi immediately spat on his face, took two steps back vigilantly, and said coldly: "At this time, the master still doesn't forget the innocence of the filthy man! I'll pay it back, if Taiwei Sun finds out, take care of your bastard. bone!"
"you……"
Jia Zhen also took half a step back, wiped her face with her sleeve angrily, and said angrily: "Well, what do you think should be done? The family is all in the red, and the West Mansion is unreliable according to what you said. Should we go to the street to do business?" Can't be a beggar?!"
"Who wants the master to be a beggar?"
Youshi said: "If the West Mansion can sell the property to make up for the hole, then our East Mansion can't do it?"
Jia Zhen kicked the ledger, then rolled her eyes at You Shi, apparently saying that Ningguo Mansion was completely empty and there was nothing left to sell.
But I heard You Shi continued: "With Sun Taiwei's current status, how can he squeeze together with his brother again? I guess he will definitely buy another house before and after his wedding. If so, we might as well..."
"You mean..."
Jia Zhen's eyes widened suddenly: "Sell Ningguo Mansion to him?!"
As he said that, he became furious, pointed at Youshi and cursed: "Well, you are a ruthless and rotten maid, you just pretended to get rid of it, and now you want to help the adulterer seize the ancestral property of the master! I really think I am The scumbag who sells Ye’s land has settled down?! Okay, okay, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’re afraid that you’ll have to murder your husband next time!”
As he said that, he was about to fight with his teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Youshi was on guard, and because he was hangover and weak, his feet were sloppy, so he just leaned over and dodged, and then he opened the curtain and fled.
Jia Zhen hurried a few steps behind, almost fell down with one deep foot and one shallow foot, so she went back to the house cursing, yelling that she would look good to Youshi when she came back.
Unexpectedly, Youshi took his son and defected to Wang Xifeng, and since then he has ignored Jia Zhen and his son.
Jia Zhen became more and more annoyed, and swearing at Jia Rong at home, and came up with all kinds of ways to concoct Youshi.
However, within a few days, Fang'er, the only old concubine left in the family, came over and said that the family's food and rice were not enough for a day.
Jia Zhen thought that if Youshi was willing to come forward to ask Rongguo Mansion for some money, it would be okay to give him a lighter punishment.
But when he found Wang Xifeng, Youshi just avoided seeing her.
Jia Zhen was furious, and went back to the lower place and continued to curse until midnight. By noon the next day, she was so hungry that she couldn't help it, so she had to bite the bullet and go to Jia Zheng to borrow money.
He wanted to borrow 1000 taels of silver, but Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and gave him 200 taels.
Jia Zhen was disappointed. She thought that with 1000 taels of silver, she could do some small business, but what is the 200 taels enough for?
After going home and discussing with his son for two and a half sentences, the father and son unanimously decided to go to the Wu Zang Temple first, and then plan a good plan.
So I left Fang'er, went to a familiar restaurant to eat and drink, and then brought two noodles home to have fun. After waking up the next day, I found that I had spent more than 60 taels of silver. Only then did I start to regret it. Not enough.
After a few days, I changed to a lower-grade restaurant for consumption, and the father and son shared one fantou.
But living frugally like this, you have to pay six or seven taels a day, and in half a month, the rest is wiped out.
Seeing that the cooking was about to be cut off again, the father and son discussed it for a long time with sad faces, but they really couldn't think of a way to make money, so they had to look for Jia Zheng with a shy face.
This time he was scolded a lot, but only 50 taels of silver were given to him.
The father and son returned home disheartened, and they finally regained some memory, thinking that it would be more affordable to start the fire by themselves if it was too expensive outside.
As for physical needs...
Even though Fang'er is older, she can make do with it if she bites the bullet, and the father and son don't have to look for any more fans.
Unexpectedly, his father and son had a good plan, but Fang'er had already heard about it. At that time, she was ashamed and angry, wishing that there would be a fish to death.
These days, Jia Zhen and his son stopped eating out, but they never thought about what Fang'er did for a living at home, so she still persisted, but she didn't expect to end up like this.
At the moment, leaving the two beasts behind, I went to find You Shi to make the decision.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were left behind and couldn't carry their shoulders or hands. They wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to borrow a few maids, but who would jump into this pit of fire?
So the idea of opening fire collapsed in the middle.
The father and son had no choice but to choose the food stall in the Fly House to make ends meet. As for the fans, they can only be filled by Fifth Girl for the time being.
It's just that after a long time, Jia Zhen felt more and more that her son Jia Rong was born with a delicate and charming face...
It was like this, and it can last for a while.
But helplessly, Jia Zhenjia Rong went to eat wontons at a small stall outside this day, and ran into the former cronies as soon as they sat down.
After receiving some cynicism from the other party, Jia Zhen became arrogant again as soon as she got angry, set up a banquet and summoned fans, and let those villains see what it means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
Slapping the face and pretending to be coercive is quite successful.
But when she woke up the next day, Jia Zhen wished she could smack her old face--with just such a meal, all the money she lived on was lost, and she owed the restaurant more than ten taels!
After learning from the pain, Jia Zhen regained her spirits, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet to find Youshi, and boldly threw down two words: "Sold!"
At the end of May, Ningguo Mansion changed hands.
Then Taiwei Sun sent a hundred or ten servants to take a brief rest. During this period, Aunt Youshi Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Aunt Xue took turns to supervise the work, and contributed a lot of good ideas for Sun Taiwei to adopt every day.
In mid-June, another decree came out from the palace, and the Grand View Garden was licensed to reopen for weddings.
For a moment, the Grand View Garden competed for splendor and splendor, and it seemed to have returned to the heyday of a few years ago...
Chapter 990 Nine Nine Returns to One [Complete Version]
In the summer of the first year of Long'an, Sun Shaozong got married.
In the spring of the second year of Long'an, the Supreme Emperor died.
In the autumn of the same year, Sun Shaozong, the admiral of the Quanlong Imperial Guard, personally commanded the three towns of Liaodong and the Bohai Sea Division, and went on two fronts to sweep up the northern lands, taking in more than [-] Liaodong savages, known as Long'an Liting in history.
In the spring of the fourth year of Long'an, Shaozong, the uncle of Jinzhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, invited refugees, deserters, hungry people, landless tenants, and redundant water workers to fill the town of Liaodong.
In the following ten years, under the successive leadership of Yu Qian, Sun Chengtao, Li Xian, etc., countless people from the Central Plains went north to the outside of the customs. By the time of the 15th year of the Ministry of Household Inspection in Long'an, there were more than one million Han people in Liaodong.
In the winter of the ninth year of Long'an, Sun Shaozong, the second assistant of the cabinet and Marquis of Tongliao, invited Ligong and the Second Academy of Sciences. Because they chose many craftsmen as teachers, they aroused criticism from scholars, saying: How can ingenious and obscene skills be recognized as elegant?
In the spring of the 11th year of Long'an, the emperor was in charge.
In the summer of the 17th year of Long'an, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill. She summoned the chief assistant of the cabinet and the grandson Shaozong of Wei Guogong to enter the palace to entrust the funeral. On the afternoon of the same day, Wei Guogong came out bathed in blood.
It is said that blood flowed in Kunning Palace that day.
Afterwards, 37 military ministers were captured and killed from the deputy capital censor Xu Youzhen down, and nearly half of them were Wu Jinshi in the 12th and 15th years of Long'an.
Since then, Emperor Long'an has stopped going out of the court, and the military and government affairs are all in the hands of Wei Guogong.
In the autumn of the same year, Shen Lian, the admiral of the patrol battalion and Bo Yongyi, coerced more than a hundred military officials to persuade them to come in, saying that Emperor Long'an was not virtuous, and that it was the right time for Wei to replace Zhou, but was rejected by Duke Wei.
In the 18th year of Long'an, Shaozong, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the grandson of Wei Guogong, reformed the imperial examinations and added local government schools, implementing the method of getting rid of emptiness and pragmatism.
At that time, scholars were in a great uproar, crying that it was difficult for scholars to ascend to the high hall, and that the government had paid all the dirty officials, which was a sign of the country's subjugation.
In the spring of the 21st year of Long'an, Sun Chengyi, the admiral of the Bohai Navy, went east to Japan. After 39 battles in seven months, he was born as the Emperor of Japan and the General of Japan's Zhengyi returned to the court.
In the summer of the 23rd year of Long'an, Sun Chengyi, the admiral of the Bohai Sea Admiral Donghai Marquis, conquered Japan again, cutting off the entire territory of Kyushu and the eleven states of Honshu.
In the spring of the following year, the Marquis of the East China Sea passed by Humen, climbed up and looked far away, and said to the left and right: "How can you live up to the great rivers and mountains?"
In the winter of the 28th year of Long'an, the emperor died in the Qianqing Palace.
Sun Chengyi, the admiral of the Dragon Guard and Marquis of the East China Sea, held the dragon robe and jade seal to persuade him to enter, but was repelled by his father Wei Guogong Sun Shaozong.
In the spring of the 29th year of Long'an, the new king succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Hongwu.
From the second year of Hongwu to the fourth year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu wanted to be a Buddhist for several times, but Wei Guogong refused.
People at the time privately said: King Wei, Zhou Weiwu also.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the 15th year of Hongwu, there was a great court meeting.
Wei Wang Sun Shaozong ascended in the hall of supreme harmony in the daytime, and when the auspicious clouds covered the sun, the whole city could hear it.
On the second day of February of the same year, the governor of the Beijing camp governed three battalions and one guard, and Sun Chengyi, the Duke of Wei, marched straight into the central palace.
Then he was established on behalf of Zhou, the country was named Xinwei, changed to Yuan Tianyuan, and his father was respected as Wei Shenwu Zhishengzun Great Emperor.
During the Tianyuan period, the new Wei Dynasty expanded thousands of miles, restored the old Mongolian and Yuan lands in Eurasia, and pointed directly at Australia at Bingfeng in Nanyang.
Over the next few decades, the people of Wei became more and more arrogant in the newly developed land. Among them, the national surname Sun was the most prominent. They often regarded themselves as descendants of immortals and regarded the natives as pigs and dogs.
Therefore, the natives often call them Tianlong people.
