Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When Jia Mu went to the room, Jia Mu and Lian Er refused to give in. Jia Mu closed her eyes and pretended to fall backwards. Lian Er thought about Sister Feng's reminder last night, and said cruelly: "Grandmother, if you fall, it will be unfilial to your grandson. The grandson will have to ask for the letter left by the grandfather to his father."

Jia's mother leaned in Yuanyang's arms, stared at Lian Er, and said, "I shouldn't have left you as a bastard. You father and son are here to collect debts."

Jia Lian bowed, "grandmother said so, and my grandson recognized it. For the sake of the Duke's mansion, the grandson pursued the property stolen by the slave. The grandson also sent the slave who stole the imperial gifts to the Yamen, so that the Duke could not be punished." The government was impeached."

Trembling with anger, Jia's mother pointed to the door and told Jia Lian to go out. Jia Lian left in a big way after saluting.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang stood at the door, their faces dark and difficult to distinguish. Jia Lian saluted them and said, "Second Wife, can you give the servant's body to your nephew? My nephew only has a few days and he has to go to the court to be on duty." gone."

Jia Zheng was puzzled, "Lian'er, what is it worth for you to go to the court?"

Jia Lian hehe, "Weilang, a member of the household department, is a fifth-rank, real-time job. Today, I was rewarded yesterday."

Jia Zheng felt that he had been slapped in the face, and his eyes were full of gold stars. He had been the head of the Ministry of Industry for many years before he was promoted to the fifth rank Yuanwailang, and Lian Er just gave him money, and Jia Amnesty won the Marquis of Rongen , Jia Lian got Yuanwailang!With a bitter mouth, he still reluctantly taught, "Lian'er has this opportunity, in the future, he must work hard to be loyal to the court, help his colleagues in friendship, fulfill his duties, and win glory for the Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Lian said yes again and again, thank you Jia Zheng for teaching.He also asked Mrs. Xiang to get the slave's body contract.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to go with Jia Lian.But Jia Zheng went into the house to see Jia's mother.

When Jia Zheng entered the room, he saw that Jia's mother was in a bad mood, so he had no choice but to comfort the old mother, "Old lady, don't be as knowledgeable as elder brothers and fathers and sons."

Jiamu said: "Go to the Yamen quickly and get all the Lai family out. The Lai family has been in Rongguo Mansion for several generations. Don't let them talk nonsense and hurt the dignity of Rongguo Mansion and your empress."

Jia Zheng said, "The Lai family stole something from the imperial court. I'm afraid it's not easy to get away."

Seeing this unworldly son, Jia's mother held her breath, and had no choice but to point out, "Go to the Shijia and tell your cousin what I said, and your two cousins ​​will naturally know what to do. Go, go right away."

Jia Zheng said yes, but obediently went directly to the historian.

After Jia Zheng went to the historian, he was still upset for many years. The second and third sons of the historian had no title inheritance just like him, but now one has inherited the eldest son of the historian, and the other has a marquis himself.Only my own life is in bad luck, and I haven't made any progress for many years, alas.When the historian brothers heard that Jia Zheng was visiting, they all came out to greet him, "Cun Zhou." "Cun Zhou."

Jia Zheng saluted respectfully, Shi Ding pulled Jia Zheng, "Okay, okay." He led him to sit down.The two of them were about the same age and had been together since childhood, so they were extremely familiar with each other.

Shi Nai asked him if he had something to do, and Jia Zheng said dryly, "Er Lian ransacked Da Lai's house this morning and sent everyone in the Lai family to the yamen. The old lady told me to come and find my cousin, saying that Nanny Lai It's her dowry, so all members of the Lai family have to be bailed out. The Lai family has been in the Rongguo Mansion for several generations, so we can't hurt the empress's face."

The Shijia brothers understood as soon as they heard it, and immediately called the housekeeper to take his post to the Yamen.

Shi Ding asked him about Jia Amnesty's repayment of the money. Jia Zheng hesitated and said, "I don't hide it from my cousin. This is also a family scandal. For some reason, my eldest brother asked his mother to separate the family. My mother agreed. Yesterday my two brothers died. Separated."

Shi Nai was surprised, the old lady is still alive, so the two brothers will separate? "Cunzhou, why didn't you tell us about the separation of your brothers?"

Jia Zheng sighed again, "Brother said the day before yesterday that he wanted to separate the family. Zheng thought that his mother would not agree, nor would the patriarch and elders. Who knew, alas, alas. Zheng didn't want to separate the family."

"Then how did you divide it?"

"My mother said five or five cents, and my elder brother also said that there was a letter from my father, forcing me to pay back the money, so my mother believed it."

"Then the house that Cunzhou is going to move is available?"

Jia Zheng said: "Because my mother wants to visit relatives, my mother left me to serve, and my elder brother moved out."

The Shijia brothers looked at each other, "Enhou agreed?"

Jia Zheng nodded.

The brothers of the Shi family had a grudge, and the reason was that the eldest of the Shi family died of illness, leaving only a baby girl, and the brothers fought for the title, and almost drew their swords at each other.The third child won the title, and the second child ran away to join the army in a fit of anger, and won the title of Marquis of Zhongjing with his military merits.Although the third child won the Bowling Marquis, he felt ashamed of his second brother. Over the years, he made concessions both openly and secretly, and the two brothers were gradually able to sit together.

Now I heard that it was Jia Zheng who won the Rongguo Mansion, and the family was divided into five or five. I immediately remembered the fact that the two brothers were fighting and Jia's mother was partial to the third child. I thought that Jia's mother had been holding the second child in these years, and the Rongguo Mansion was also the second wife. Being the head of the family, if the family is separated like this, it is estimated that the two brothers will be strangers in the future.Not only did he feel sorry for him, but he also sympathized with Jia and pardoned him.

The cousins ​​chatted for a while, and when the steward of Shi's mansion came back, he reported that the matter had been taken care of.The two brothers readily agreed and sent Jia Zheng out.

After Jia Zheng left, the two brothers discussed, and Jia Amnesty returned the silver and got Rong Enhou, Rong En!This is the day to collect debts.The two families also had arrears left by their ancestors, and they are afraid that they will have to live a hard life from now on.

The two brothers discussed it properly, and they went home and planned not to mention it.

All the officials in the capital are worried about themselves today, the Holy Majesty wants everyone to pay back the money.Pay it back, it will be sad in the future, if you don't pay it back, you're worried that the Holy One will not make it through.If you are quick-minded, you want to take a look; if you are sincere, you want to prepare the money first, and pay it back immediately when the Ministry of Households and the cabinet come up with a plan.

Besides, Jia Zhen, seeing Jia Amnesty's insistence on separating the family and paying back the money, thought about what her father said, so she asked the servant to keep an eye on Jia's mansion.Yesterday when Jia Lian returned the money, Jia Amnesty got the Marquis --- Marquis of Rongguo!Think about the general who only has the third rank in him, and his son will have to be demoted to the rank of nobility. If this continues, within three generations, he will fade out of the circle of aristocratic officials.Thinking of Qin Keqing again, my heart aches unbearably.Father avoids living in the Taoist temple and does not go home. Jia She and his son usually have good friends with him, unlike Jia Zheng, who do not talk speculatively.But the splitting of the family in Xifu and the repayment of the money caused such a big commotion, why didn't they disclose anything in advance?

Thinking again that the boy came to report, Lian Er copied Lai Da's house and sent Lai Da's family to prison.Lai Er is the manager of his house, so he returned to him and took his post to check first, so as not to let his old mother Lai Nanny suffer.Jia Zhen thought that Nanny Lai was about the same age as Jia's mother, so she agreed.

Jia Zhen had something in her heart, and the maids and servants tiptoed around, not daring to make a sound.Jia Zhen used to go to the back house for a walk, because Qin Keqing passed away and just recovered from a serious illness, so she seldom went to the backyard. If Jia Zhen got angry, it would not be a good fight.But everyone wished they could hide in the ground, and Youshi had to report when he came over. The servant did not dare to speak loudly, and was afraid that Jia Zhen would not hear clearly and would be kicked, so he took the courage to stay eight steps away from Jia Zhen, and reported: "Master, Grandma is here."

Jia Zhen frowned, thinking, "Please come in."

You Shi came in and saw Jia Zhen's complexion was not good, but she was still able to pass, so she blessed her body and saluted her.Jia Zhen asked: "But what's the matter?" Youshi asked cautiously: "The western mansion has paid back the debt owed by the imperial court, what about our mansion?"

Jia Zhen didn't go to the court either, and she didn't know what happened in the morning court today, so she said, "I'll go and have a look when Uncle She comes back."

As soon as Jia Zhen received Jia Amnesty and went back to the east courtyard, she immediately changed her clothes and hurried over. Jia Amnesty waved Jia Zhen to come in when the servant reported that Jia Zhen was coming.

Jia Zhen and Jia She are very close, and when they came in, they said bluntly: "Uncle She, yesterday you mentioned that it's time to divide the family, but what is it for?"

"Zhen'er, didn't you go to see your father?"

"Hey, I just say that everything is up to you, otherwise you would be so happy as if you were separated yesterday."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen a little helplessly, such a patriarch. "Zhen'er, it's not been a day or two since the old lady has been partial to the second room. Now that the empress has to be sealed, how do you think my eldest room has a foothold?"

"No way? No matter how much you favor the second room, this title is still for Uncle Pardon."

"Zhen'er, if Lian'er has no children?"

"Uncle She is just joking, Brother Lian and Sister Feng are young." The words became lighter and lighter, Jia Zhen was also a member of the big family, the eldest son of the Ning family, the education she received when she was young was not inferior to Jia She, and her grandfather passed away later , he was just a teenager, his father went to practice Taoism, and his mother took over his education, so he knew more or less what he should know.Later, his mother gave birth to Xichun and passed away. In the past ten years, he was left alone, and he was the second child.

"Uncle Pardon, alas." Jia Zhen sighed sympathetically.Ask again: "The silver?"

"Zhen'er, you've seen it too. If you hadn't fought to pay back the money yesterday, your pardoning uncle and me would be worse than leaving the house without leaving the house."

Jia Zhen thought about the same thing, so she nodded.

"That, second grandfather's letter?"

"What letter? Hehe, hehe"

Jia Zhen suddenly looked at Jia She silently. She has known him for decades. Uncle She is like this?

Jia Amnesty patted Jia Zhen, "You should also owe a lot of money over there, so pay it back quickly. The debt will be collected today. It's too early."

Jia Zhen was reluctant, "Is that necessary? How about hundreds of thousands? There's nothing left after paying it back."

Jia Amnesty was getting impatient, but he still said patiently, "No, it's still not enough. I will send someone to collect the debt today."

"Our Second House has nothing to do with Jinshang."

"Isn't there a concubine? Will there be a marquis if you want to pay it back?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen like a fool, "You have to have that fate too." Then he pushed Jia Zhen away, "Nephew Zhen, don't say your uncle didn't remind you, or you can ask your father. I have to deal with it quickly. Moving, the old lady said it took only half a month."

Jia Zhenji went to the Taoist temple yesterday to ask his father, and today he went again, which made his father kick him twice, and kicked him with dust, "Can't you learn from me?" Jia Zhen was beaten. go out.

Jia Zhen was hit repeatedly, and went back to the house in desperation to prepare money.
