A hundred flavors of life

After Jia Lian attacked the prince, he immediately asked for the separation of the family and wanted to drive all Jia Zheng's family out of Rongguo Mansion and live in Rongxi Hall by himself.

Jia Zheng and his wife and Dabao faced each other and were naturally reluctant to move out of Rongguo. It could be that when Jia Mu was still there, they could use the saying that "the parents would not separate the family even if they were alive" as a shield, but now that Jia Mu is no longer there, they can only Move out of Rongguo Mansion according to the rules.

But there is another thing in the middle, which is the private house left by Jia Mu.

On the day of the family separation, Jia Lian gathered all the masters in the Rongguo Mansion to discuss the matter. He also invited the current patriarch of the Jia family, Jia Rong of the Ningguo Mansion, to come over to bear witness to the separation.

According to Jin Yuanyang, the eldest girl next to Jia Mu, all the treasures left by the ancestors were given to Big Face Bao.

Jia Lian also agreed with this. After all, the entire Rongguo Mansion, from masters to slaves, had heard Jia Mu say this more than once.

In this way, Mrs. Wang, who had just been released from the Buddhist hall after Jia Mu's death, immediately found someone to clean up Jia Mu's belongings and planned to take them all away.

Jia Lian did not stop him. He only asked people to watch from the side and report the progress of the property inventory to him at any time. When the cleaning was completed, he appeared and asked:

"How much wealth did our ancestors leave behind?"

Although the accountant was invited by Mrs. Wang, she also knew who was in charge of Rongguo Mansion now and did not dare to hide it:

"The total of all the belongings, excluding fractions, is equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver!"

Mrs. Wang was afraid that things would change, so she asked the servants of the second house to carry away the belongings.

At this time, Jia Lian chuckled: "Second aunt, I'm so sorry, you can't take away these belongings!"

Jia Lian used to call Mrs. Wang "Mrs." out of Jia Mu's face. Otherwise, the wife of the second son of Rongguo, whose husband has no title and no royal title, why would anyone call her "Mrs."

So now he simply calls her Second Aunt.

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard that Jia Lian said that these properties would not be given to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Xing was gloating about the misfortune. Others, including several sisters from the Jia family, thought that Jia Lian was a bit ugly.

Mrs. Wang was always worried about the separation of Jia Lian's family. Now she heard that Jia Lian even changed his name, and her face suddenly became gloomy. She also heard that he was trying to steal Jia's mother's money. The restraint she used to show off and worship the Buddha disappeared in an instant. He said ferociously:

"That's what the old lady left for Baoyu, why don't you let us take it away!"

Jia Zheng also pretended to be on the side and said: "Lian'er, uncle treats you well, don't go too far."

Jia Lian didn't bother to listen at all and interrupted:

"Second uncle forgot that the father-in-law has 500,000 taels of silver, which was lent to the Wang family by his aunt. This money must be paid back. Even if the debt is repaid, the 150,000 taels will be repaid. Second uncle and aunt still owe me 350,000 taels. Two pieces of silver!"

After he said this, he remembered that there was something else, and Jia Zheng was speechless.

But Mrs. Wang shouted: "Since the five hundred thousand taels are the public's money, we will naturally have a share in the split family!"

Jia Lian nodded and said: "My aunt is right. My second uncle should have a share of the inheritance left by my grandfather!"

He clapped his hands, and several accountants came in and began to settle the accounts. After the accounts were finished, the leading gentleman reported to Jia Lian: "Of the five hundred thousand taels of silver, only 50,000 taels should belong to the second master!"

Mrs. Wang screamed: "You are talking nonsense. Why should we only share 50,000 taels of the five hundred thousand taels of silver?"

But the gentleman said: "Most of the property of the prince belongs to the title, and this part will follow the title. Mr. Zheng can only get the private house left by the old prince. This part is only more than 90,000 taels, and it must be divided equally between the two houses. I said Mr. Zheng can share 50,000 yuan, but this is too much!"

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, but Jia Lian smiled and said: "Second aunt, don't worry, you can't take away these fifty thousand taels, we still have an account to settle!"

He asked the accountant to fetch another account book, held it in his hand, and then said to the Jia family present: "Second Aunt has secretly sold several farms and a lot of sacrificial fields of our Jia family in recent years. These are all royal properties." We have to settle the accounts for the property inside!"

Jia Lian didn't know anything about this matter. Hua Twelve asked him to check the accounts in advance, and then he realized that this Wang family daughter was so bold that she even dared to sell family property and royal property secretly.

Jia Zheng looked at his wife in disbelief and asked, "Is what Lian'er said true?"

At this moment, Mrs. Wang was struck by thunder and collapsed directly to the ground.

Jia Lian ignored her and asked the accountant to settle the account. As a result, the second house could not take away a penny, let alone 50,000 taels of silver.

Not only that, in addition to the thirty-five taels of silver mentioned before, the money owed by Erfang to Rongguo Mansion increased by another hundred thousand taels due to the sale of public property, for a total of 450,000 taels of silver.

Jia Lian immediately asked Jia Rong, the current patriarch, to take charge of the second house's property. Jia Zheng looked ugly and said nothing.

Jia Tanchun, the second-fang's daughter, leaned forward and said: "Second brother Lian, after all, the two fangs are a family. It's so embarrassing to have them just separated. I'm afraid people will laugh at me. Why don't we be more generous? Both families look better." .”

Jia Lian said, "Sister Tanchun, that's not what you said. The second aunt did the embarrassing thing first. Why does it have to make the eldest son suffer in order not to be embarrassed?"

Seeing that Jia Tanchun still wanted to speak, Jia Lian waved his hand:

"There are some things you don't know. Let me tell you today. Our father-in-law has been unable to make ends meet for a long time. It is up to you, Sister-in-law Feng, to go out and lend loan money to supplement the expenses of the government. This is all thanks to the second aunt. , you have also seen what happened to your second sister-in-law now, how can you ask me to be generous?"

Wang Xifeng is now locked up in a small courtyard, which is almost like a prison. All the daughters of the Jia family have heard that the trouble was caused by loan sharking, but for the first time, they know that it is for the food and clothing of the big guy.

Jia Tanchun's face turned pale and she was speechless with shame. She also enjoyed the welfare of the government and received monthly money. Now that she knew the truth, how could she have the nerve to persuade others to be generous.

Jia Lian directly asked the accountant to count the belongings of the second wife. Mrs. Wang was silent just now and pretended to be an ostrich. Now she went crazy when she saw someone counting her belongings.

But Jia Rong was now on the same side as Jia Lian. He vented his anger and immediately showed the majesty of the clan leader, saying that the sacrificial fields sold by Mrs. Wang were clan property. If he continued to mess around, he would be expelled from the clan and brought to justice.

After saying this, Mrs. Wang did not dare to make trouble again.

After being counted by the accountant, the second-fang's belongings were finally determined to be about two hundred thousand taels of silver, including money, goods, property, and fields.

No one expected Erfang to be so rich.

Jia Lian hates this. Mrs. Wang's dowry is only two to thirty thousand taels, and her second wife has no livelihood. How can she save a family fortune of two hundred thousand?

Obviously, they all embezzled money when they were in charge of the second house. This is all his money!

In anger, Jia Lian did not kill them all, but left ten thousand taels of silver to his second wife, which was considered a filial piety from his nephew, and the rest was put into the public treasury. The glory and wealth were gone in a blink of an eye. It is said that Mrs. Wang cried when she followed Jia Zheng and left the Rongguo Mansion.

It’s impossible not to cry. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang originally wanted to buy a house to settle down after they came out of Rongguo Mansion, but before leaving the house, Jia Lian ripped them off and left them with only 10,000 taels of silver. This amount of money was only enough to buy a house in Bianjing. Living in a small courtyard, how can he adapt to the transition from luxury to frugality? What's more, with this little money, even if he can adapt to living in a small courtyard, he will have to drink the northwest wind from now on?

Fortunately, Aunt Xue, who was repaying her debt and lived in Rongguo Mansion, also left with her.

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang are biological sisters of the same mother. She used to live in her sister's house, and she felt confident about it. But now that Mrs. Wang has been kicked out, she naturally has no reason to live anymore.

The Xue family also has a mansion in the capital. They used to live in Rongguo Mansion, so they had the Xue family's mansion renovated. Now it's almost done, and it's time to move there.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang simply defected to Aunt Xue and moved to the Xue family.

Mrs. Wang also plans to borrow two hundred thousand taels of silver from Aunt Xue to buy a decent house.

But Aunt Xue only said that business was difficult and she didn't have any money left. In fact, both sisters knew that the Xue family must have money, but they were just worried that Jia Zheng and his wife would not be able to pay it back.

Jia Lian originally thought that he had recovered some money and planned to give up the rest because he couldn't afford to offend Wang Ziteng, but Hua Twelve didn't think so.

Before leaving the capital, Wang Ziteng always found trouble with Hua Twelve. After returning to the capital, the group started looking for trouble again. During the court meeting, they openly put eye drops on Hua Twelve in front of Zhao Ji, accusing him of neglect. The crime of training.

Although this world is different from the real Northern Song Dynasty, the military regulations are the same. The Forbidden Army requires soldiers with a military salary of 500 qian or more to drill every day, while soldiers with a military salary of 500 qian or less are required to drill once every five days.

When Hua Twelve asked for leave and went to Yangzhou, he naturally could not lead his troops to drill. Wang Ziteng took advantage of this and gave him eye drops.

Although Gao Qiu stood up to explain the situation, the official Zhao Ji believed that Hua Twelve had not done a good job, and finally gave him a moderate punishment of half a year.

Hua Twelve is not qualified to go to court yet, so he will be angry when he finds out. Wang Ziteng's behavior is purely disgusting. A toad crawls on his feet and does not bite. He is jealous of others.

The other party was already making moves, and Hua Twelve was not easy to bully. He immediately called Jia Lian and asked him to go to the court to collect debts.

Jia Lian originally did not have the courage to collect debts from Wang Ziteng, the military governor of the Beijing camp, but he was the one who handed in the surrender letter. Since Hua Twelve had spoken, he did not dare to disobey.

At the next court meeting, he took advantage of the opportunity to express gratitude in front of the emperor after the imperial conquest. He knelt directly in the main hall and asked the official Zhao Ji in front of the civil and military officials of the court to make the decision for him in the Rongguo Mansion to recover the money owed by Prince Teng. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels.

Originally, Mrs. Wang lent Prince Teng 500,000 taels of silver, but Jia Lian had already recovered 250,000 taels from Mrs. Wang, so he only wanted 250,000 taels for Prince Teng, and the remaining silver taels became The debt between Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng was settled.

Jia Lian doesn't believe that Mrs. Wang will give up the money, so let the Wang brothers and sisters fight.

Wang Ziteng's family fortune was all used to run for office. He was short of money and naturally could not repay the money easily. He also wanted to argue, but Jia Lian resorted to the big trick Hua Twelve had given him and immediately told Zhao Ji, the official, that the money would cost him. When he came back, he didn't take a penny himself, but used all of it to repay Rongguo Mansion's debt from the court and return it to the national treasury.

All the nobles of the dynasty had borrowed money from the imperial court, which had become a legacy of history. The imperial court wanted not to come back at all. This time, Jia Lian returned part of the money on behalf of the Rongguo Mansion. This was equivalent to breaking the ice and playing a leading role. Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he ordered Wang Ziteng to repay the debt within one month.

Wang Ziteng knew something was wrong when Jia Lian said that the money would be returned to the court, and sure enough, Zhao Ji asked him to pay back the money.

Wang Ziteng did not dare to go against the official's golden words, so he complied with a grimace, and began to sell off his property after returning home.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Wang Ziteng was selling off her property, she hurriedly paid a visit and wanted her brother to sell more property and return the money he took from her so that she could use it to buy a house.

As a result, as soon as she mentioned the matter of repaying the money, she was scolded by Prince Teng and kicked out directly, leaving Mrs. Wang in tears. She returned to Xue's house to complain to Aunt Xue, saying that her brother was unkind.

Aunt Xue agreed, but she sneered in her heart. She was a brainless sister who spent hundreds of thousands of taels of her husband's money on her parents' family. Who could she blame?

In addition, since I have already given it to my brother to buy an official position, let’s treat it as an investment. When my brother’s official position becomes bigger and bigger, are we afraid that we won’t be able to get the money back?

Now my brother is ordered by the government to pay back the money, and the seller has no choice but to sell him. If you go and ask for money at this time, it is like adding insult to injury. Not only is the love for paying for your brother's official position not only gone, but you have also greatly offended your brother. It is simply stupid. .

Aunt Xue didn't expect that Mrs. Wang's stupidity was not over yet. Before she could get money from Wang Ziteng, this sister would actually have another idea for her Xue family.

He actually brought up the story of the 'good match' that the two of them had deliberately spread when they were in Rongguo Mansion, and wanted to propose marriage to Aunt Xue, so that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, the two aunts and cousins, could marry each other.

.

Aunt Xue almost felt sick to death. When she was in Rongguo Mansion, she went up to her husband and mentioned this matter, but Mrs. Wang refused to comment and borrowed a lot of money from her.

Now that they are in ruins, I think of their family's Baochai. Isn't this an attempt to drag her daughter into trouble? How could she be so shameless?

Aunt Xue used the same method that Mrs. Wang used to deal with her. She did not comment and just said that the two children were still young and we would talk about it later.

Mrs. Wang mentioned it several times, but to no avail.

Hua Twelve's goods were damaged enough. After Wang Ziteng started selling property, he took Jia Lian and had a chance encounter in front of Wang's house when he had nothing to do. He bumped into Wang Ziteng returning to his house. He said hello when he was far away and shouted in a voice that could be heard in the whole street. road:

"Jesushuai, he's selling his property again!"

Jia Lian was beside himself and couldn't hold back. He covered his mouth and started laughing. He knew it was not good, but he couldn't help it. Hua Twelve was such a loser.

The word 'again' made the prince almost vomit blood. He pretended not to see these two guys and walked into the house quickly, looking a little embarrassed.

Hua Twelve dragged Jia Lian over, just to let Wang Ziteng know that he was the one who initiated the debt collection incident at the court meeting, in order to retaliate against the previous incident.

He had already thought about it. If Wang Ziteng caused trouble for him again, Hua Twelve would go to the rear of the Wang family to bury the golden sword and jade seal. With the jade seal as the basis, at the end of Yi, the world will be unified.

It will be up to Wang Ziteng whether he dies or not.

Come on, hurt each other!

Wang Ziteng had no time to deal with him for the time being. Hua Twelve wanted to do something more for him, but the arrival of several people broke his plan.

Hua Twelve had just returned home from the military camp that day. As soon as he entered the mansion, Jin'er came to report that the uncle's mentor had arrived and brought two people with him. At this time, he was talking to Coach Zhang in the flower hall.

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
