Winning every step of the Red Mansion

281

When everyone in the Jia family was distressed by Jia Zheng's disappearance, on this day a housekeeper suddenly brought Jia Zheng's belongings and letters to Jia She, and Jia She was naturally excited.I thought I was right because I was looking for people everywhere in the house and finally got the news, so I hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

But after reading it, Jia Amnesty thought that he could let go of it, but raised it back to his throat again.The handwriting in the letter was indeed written by Jia Zheng.But the content of the description is that Jia Zheng and a bandit have become friends.He also had a good time drinking and talking with others.Because I had a few dinners and dinners at other people's place and wanted to make up for it, I asked the family for a million taels of silver.This is not a letter of hope, it is obviously a blackmail letter.The most terrible thing is that there is a bloody handprint on the letter paper, probably after a long time, the color is now a bit dim, but it is extremely dazzling.Jia Amnesty sat slumped on the chair with a sad expression on his face.The housekeeper didn't know what to do.

After a moment of silence, Jia Amnesty suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Who is the messenger?" The housekeeper shook his head and said, "It's just a kid running on the street, about four or five years old. I asked him who sent him the letter?" He sent the letter, but he didn't know what to say, he just said that the man gave him a few pieces of candy." Jia Amnesty lost his mind when he heard that, this kind of thief dared to send the letter to the house, which shows his means, and My family has reported to the officials and sent people to search along the way, but there is still no result. Now that I see this letter, I don't know what Jia Zheng's situation is now.

Jia Amnesty thought for a moment, and his mind settled down slightly. He waved to the housekeeper to invite Jia Zhu from the second room to discuss.After all, this matter cannot be concealed. Hearing that his younger brother and sister have cried and fainted several times because of this matter, they dare not rashly call for a discussion at this time.At any rate, now that Jia Zhu is older, he can handle things, so let's discuss it with him first.

Jia Zhu will be there soon, walking in a hurry all the way, Jia Amnesty heard his hurried steps in the study, Jia Zhu just entered the room before he had time to salute Jia Zheng, so he asked eagerly: "Uncle, but there is news about my father gone?"

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to pave the way for Jia Zhu, but he didn't expect Jia Zhu to go straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.Jia She paused for a moment and said dryly, "Nephew, don't worry, just sit down." Yan Guan handed over the letter in his hand and said, "This is received by the family today, please read it first." look."

Jia Zhu took the letter and looked at it hastily, and asked eagerly after a moment: "Uncle, where did this letter come from? Where is my father now?" Jia She shook his head and took what he believed before The situation was told to Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhu also slumped on the chair when he heard it.The two were silent for a moment, and Jia Zhu said, "Uncle, how authentic do you think this letter is?"

Jia She shook his head: "I can't tell, but from my point of view, your father's handwriting is indeed true. But if it's the other way around, I can't tell. I came to you, and I want you to argue this The authenticity of the letter."

Jia Zhu read the letter carefully again, and then held it up to look at the window. Jia Amnesty understood that Jia Zhu wanted to see if the letter was a forgery by imitating the handwriting or filling it in.Looking at it again, Jia Zhu shook her head. This letter was written in one go, and it was not imitated by people, which makes people anxious.

The two were speechless, staring at the letter in a daze.After a moment of silence, Jia She said: "Nephew, if this is true, how much cash can you give in your hand?"

Jia Zhu looked up and calculated, "I'll make a rough estimate, about 25 taels."

Jia Amnesty took a look at Jia Zhu: "I'm afraid it will take a day or two to sell the title deed."

Jia Zhu shook her head and said, "Uncle, I included the 10 taels that the old lady gave me."

Jia She was stunned and nodded, "You are a filial person. If I have cash here, I can probably make up more than 30 taels. The sum of the two items should not be less than 60 taels."

As soon as Jia Zhu heard this, she hurriedly fell to her knees in front of Jia She: "Thank you uncle, if my father can return safely, nephew, nephew..." Jia Zhu choked up, unable to speak.

Jia She sighed and said, "Your father and I are blood brothers. How can I sit idly by and ignore such a big matter? I'll figure out the rest. It's important to deal with this matter first."

Jia Zhu kowtowed again before getting up, "Uncle, can you tell my wife about this?"

Jia She frowned, I'm afraid we can't hide such things, and if he wants to redeem someone, Mrs. Wang should be in charge of the treasury account, so it's impossible not to alarm.It's just that now I heard that people are still sick, so I'm afraid it's not good to be stimulated like this.Jia Zhu also understood, so she said, "I'm afraid I can't hide this matter even if I want to. Maybe my wife can get rid of her depression when she hears the news."

Jia She nodded and said: "Then look for a good opportunity, speak slowly, and don't fool your wife." Jia Zhu nodded, Jia She seemed to remember something again and said: "Let's keep this matter from the old lady first. , Last time the capital was in turmoil, the old lady was not very well, and this time I dare not disturb, when everyone returns safely, I will go to the old lady to apologize." Jia Zhu nodded in agreement.

After Jia Zhu left, Jia Amnesty ordered someone to bring the account books, and selected a few good shops and houses in central Beijing to sell.The steward didn't know why Jia Amnesty wanted to sell his ancestral property, so he hurriedly dissuaded him, but dissuading him didn't work, so he had to follow Jia Amnesty's wishes and spread the news.Jia Amnesty was also distressed. After all, these shops and houses are all good, and the annual interest and rent are quite a lot, but if they are not good, how can they be pawned in a short time?Although I have some complaints about Jia Zheng on weekdays, how can I let go of such a big matter?I can't justify my feelings and reason.Jia Amnesty patted his chest, and when Jia Zheng came back, he didn't care if the family was separated or not, he should first show his elder brother's majesty and teach him a lesson.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a while, thinking about it, he had to tell his wife about it, after all, he couldn't hide such a large sum of money.As for Jia Hu and Jia Lian, forget it, they have to visit the old lady every day, if they miss something, wouldn't it be more troublesome.Jia She made up his mind.

Leaving aside Jia Amnesty's side, Shi Fei'er's side is quite lively.On this day, Bailu, Huangli and the girls released by Shi Feier just came back home to visit the old lady.Shi Fei'er hadn't seen a few girls for a long time because of her ups and downs before, but she was happier today.

These girls chatted with the old lady, and told the old lady about making a living. By the way, they fed the old lady some new snacks, which made the old lady smile.After the crowd quarreled for a while, Bai Lu and Huang Li exchanged glances and asked Mother Jia, "Old lady, the money and bonuses for these few months have been deposited into the bank according to your previous instructions. Otherwise, I will bring some out to you as a gift." Into the mansion?"

Shi Fei'er was stunned and said, "What are you trying to do, I still don't trust you guys to go. You have to vacate a room to put it in the mansion, and arrange someone to watch it. It's troublesome."

Bai Lu looked at Huang Li and said, "Old lady, is there something wrong in the mansion?"

Seeing the strange faces of the two, Shi Feier also felt doubts in his heart: "What's wrong with you, you have learned to be so hesitant when you have something to say."

Huang Li bit her lip and said, "Old lady, I originally planned to open another shop in Beijing, but I was worried. I wrote a letter in the past two days and someone recommended one. I sent someone to check it out, it's very good. But the price is very cheap. I was afraid of being fooled, and after careful inquiry, it turned out to be the property of the elder."

Shi Fei'er was taken aback for a moment, and Bai Lu said: "It seems that not only the uncle, but also Master Zhu is also selling it. I sent someone to inquire about it. There are seven or eight places in total!" The other girls also nodded.

Shi Fei'er knew in her heart that today these girls came not only to talk to him and reconcile accounts, but also to report a letter to him mainly because of this matter.These girls treat them well, and now that they have the ability, they are still very grateful. This time, they must be afraid that something will happen to the house, and they are afraid of spending money, so they rushed here together.

Shi Feier was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said to several people: "A few days ago, they told me that there was a lot of trouble in the capital, and some shop managers resigned and went back to their hometown. There are too many cares, so I have to sell a few. I didn't worry about it, I didn't expect them to move so quickly. You all go and collect it. I don't think it's good for these industries to flow out like this." When the girls heard what Jiamu said, they all Nod.Everyone chatted for a while before they dispersed.

After the crowd dispersed, Shi Fei'er thought about it, she just felt a little confused because of the Beijing-China coup, but she didn't expect that the gang of youngsters in the mansion would start tormenting behind her back.I'm afraid there's something else hiding behind this.

Shi Fei'er thought for a while, and asked the maid beside her to send a message to Jia She and Jia Zhu, saying that there was something to discuss.The servant girl was obedient and quickly ran to do it.After a quarter of an hour, Jia Amnesty came in a hurry, Shi Feier was not in a hurry, ordered the maid to serve tea, and chatted with him casually.

Jia Amnesty has been busy raising funds for the past two days.Today, I was suddenly called by Mother Jia, and I was afraid that this matter would be missed. I thought that if it wasn't for this matter, I would hurry up and leave after finishing my speech, but the old lady sometimes pulled me to chat.Jia Amnesty felt a little anxious.

About a quarter of an hour later, the servant girl on the porch came to report: "Master Zhu has arrived." Shi Feier nodded and asked Jia Zhu to enter the room.After Jia Zhu finished greeting, Shi Feier asked Jia Zhu to sit down too.After a look, the two opened their mouths: "Is there anything you two want to tell my old lady?"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhu were both startled when they heard this. They raised their heads and looked at each other, and then looked at Jia Mu, and found that Jia Mu restrained her smile and showed a few traces of anger on her face.The two of them were stunned for a while, not knowing how to reply.
