Red House Shoufu

Chapter 52
Jia Jing raised his eyes and looked at Nanny Lai who was beside Jia Shishi, and she was so frightened that she quickly shrank behind Jia Shishi.

"Auntie, you probably know the things about the Lai family. I already know why Lai Er became the head of the Ningguo Mansion and what he did. From now on, I won't bother you about the Ningguo Mansion. .”

Jia Jing's tone was extremely flat, but it made Jia Shishi feel chills in his heart.This nephew was taught by Jia Daihua since he was a child, and Jia She, who was taught by Jia Daishan, was a man of literature and martial arts. He was originally a talent reserved by the Supreme Emperor for the former prince.

Even though he hadn't managed the family affairs for many years, Jia Jing, who was dressed in Taoist robes, was still something Jia Shi could not directly confront.

"Jiao Da!"

Jia Jing yelled out the door, and Jiao Da appeared in response.White-haired but powerful, the scars on his face are intimidating.

"master!"

"Take this old godly woman who sows dissension and betrays the master, and go to the West Mansion to tell brother pardon, and ask him to prepare money to pay back the debt owed by the household department in a few days!"

When Jia Shishi heard this, when Jia Jing came back, he not only took down his capable servant, but also took "his own" money to pay back the debt, how could this work.

Immediately scolded: "Jia Jing, the old woman is not dead yet, and it's not your turn to take care of the Rongguo Mansion's affairs!"

Jia Jing turned a deaf ear to it, turned around and gave Jia Zhen a slap on the head: "Tell your wife to go to the West Mansion to pick up Xichun. I heard that there is a nurse in the Lin Mansion who teaches Lin girl. Let Xichun follow suit."

Jia Zhen watched her father's series of operations in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

"Father, our family and the Lin family are just ordinary relatives..."

"According to my arrangement, there is so much nonsense."

Jia Jing snorted coldly, so frightened that Jia Zhen limped to look for You Shi.

Seeing that Jia Jing was determined to oppose her, Jia Shishi knew that she could not change the development of the matter at this time.

So he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Jia Jing's voice: "I will open the ancestral hall in two days and let Lian'er take over as the patriarch!"

Jia Shishi staggered when she heard the words, Yuanyang quickly supported her and hurried back to Rongxi Hall.

Jia Shishi pressed his forehead, his heart was burning like a fire.This is Jia Jing's chain of rings, which took away her control of the Jia clan.

No, we can't go on like this.She can't fight Jia Jing alone, she needs help.

She wrote two letters in a hurry, and called Yuanyang: "Send these two letters to Hou Baoling's mansion and Wang's house quickly, be quick!"

……

In the evening, Lin Shu returned home leisurely in a carriage, and when he got home, he heard Mother Wang say that Daiyu had been waiting for him for a long time.

Washed hastily, changed clothes and went to Daiyu's yard.

"Brother, sister-in-law You sent me a letter just now, please take a look."

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Daiyu running up to her and stuffing a letter into her hand.Lin Shu opened it suspiciously, and it was really surprising.

"Strange, why did the Ningguo Mansion let their girls come to our house for classes?"

Daiyu was also at a loss, although the Lin family had two nuns in the palace, but they didn't set up a girls' school, how could the Ningguo Mansion send their prostitute daughters to their home to receive education.

After Lin Shu read the letter, he thought in his heart that it might have something to do with Jia Lian's going out of the city last night.However, the news of Wang Lun has not come back, everything is just speculation.

Daiyu shook Lin Shu's arm, and said coquettishly, "Brother, what do you think of sister-in-law You's proposal?"

"Then do you want your brother to agree or not?" Lin Shu put down the letter in his hand and asked Daiyu back.

Daiyu shook her head: "Let's forget it! Although I really want my fourth sister to be with me, but Ningguo Mansion... Alas, I'm afraid that something will happen to Ningguo Mansion in the future, and our family will be affected. Although it's a bit unreasonable to do so, But we can keep our family safe, and we can also give them a hand when the time comes."

Since three years ago, Nanny Zhang and Nanny Lu have explained to Daiyu the situation of the major forces in the palace and the capital.

Regarding the involvement of Ningrong and Rongfu, the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, as well as several princes and princes, Daiyu has now noticed the undercurrent.

There are too many lessons in the history books about seizing the heir, the change of Xuanwumen, the battle of Jingnan in the previous Ming Dynasty, which one was not bloody.

Although she welcomes the arrival of the fourth younger sister Xichun, if it is possible to implicate her brother and the Lin family, she can only be selfish once.

Lin Shu saw the depressed Daiyu, and patted her on the shoulder in relief: "Don't rush to make a decision, wait for my brother to ask, and see what happened in Ningguo Mansion."

……

Before it was time for dinner, Wang Lun hurried back to the mansion, and Lin Shu hurriedly called him to the study.

I saw Wang Lun took out a letter: "This is from the second master Lian who asked the younger one to pass it on to the uncle. A big thing happened in the Ningguo Mansion today..."

Wang Lun relayed to Lin Shu what he found out and what Jia Lian told him.

Lin Shu read the letter while listening to Wang Lun's narration.My good fellow, this Jia Jing is really courageous, with one force, he cut down ten times, and forcibly beheaded the biggest assistant of Jia Shi's monitoring the two houses and controlling Jia's family.

Wang Lun said: "Second Master Lian asked the younger one to ask the uncle whether the debt owed by the household department should be paid at this time? He said that the old sage is still there. Although it will be repaid this time to please His Majesty, but in the end I will slap the old sage in the face, I am afraid it will make the Jia family a target of public criticism."

Jia Lian's concerns are somewhat justified. I don't know how many families have debts in the household department.Back then, when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he conquered the east and the west, the country was powerful, and the household department was extremely full.

Since the founding of the country, many families had old accounts with the Ministry of Households, and the Supreme Emperor issued a decree that all civil and military officials who have difficulties in their families can borrow money from the Ministry of Households.

This was the Supreme Emperor's move to win over the courtiers and show the emperor's kindness. Most of the civil and military officials borrowed some money.

Lin Ruhai, who was an editor at the Imperial Academy at the time, went with the trend and borrowed 1000 taels even though her family was not short of money at all.

why?How can you show the emperor's benevolence if you don't borrow some money?Isn't this against His Majesty the Emperor?

Once the opening for borrowing money is opened, it cannot be closed.More and more people have borrowed silver, but almost none have been repaid.

When the Supreme Emperor was still in power, it was good to say that various taxes in the south of the Yangtze River could support the operation of the court every year.

But since Longsheng's prince's treason case 45 years ago, the Supreme Emperor Zen is now His Majesty, the center is temporarily stable, but the locality has not been very peaceful.

The reduction of tax revenue has caused the Ministry of Households to be stretched, and it is often necessary to raise money everywhere to ensure the operation of the court.

Emperor Gao Yongheng issued imperial decrees twice in the third year and fifth year of Zhide, ordering the Ministry of Households to count the arrears and urging all governments to return the arrears owed to the Ministry of Households.

It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor once again stood on the opposite side of the emperor, supporting those civil and military officials who didn't want to pay back for the sake of the so-called saint's face.

This is also the reason why Lin Ruhai was able to die with the posthumous posthumous title Zhongzheng, and the Lin family was able to receive the blessing of the emperor, and it was also the reason why Lin Shu was able to win the favor of the emperor with the method of spreading salt on paper.

There is only one reason, the emperor is poor!
