The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 167
This is the third time Wang Xifeng has visited the house since she paid back the money owed to the treasury.

Unfortunately, she went out to check the accounts the first two times, and Daiyu also went to the bookstore. She didn't even see anyone when she ran twice, but this time she ran into it.

Jiu Si glanced at Wang Xifeng's stomach, then at her somewhat thick makeup, was silent for a moment, and whispered a few words to Er Yue, asking her to deal with things first, and then brought Wang Xifeng back to the house.

I thought Wang Xifeng would be able to detect something was wrong by herself, but seeing her current situation, even if she was not feeling well, she probably didn't think about her happiness!

The two went back to the hall and sat down. Jiusi first asked someone to bring tea, and then ordered someone to tell Daiyu, and then exchanged greetings with Wang Xifeng.

Daiyu was reading a book in the house. When she heard that Sister Feng had come, she asked a little puzzled, "Why is she here at this time? Could it be that there is something wrong with Jia's family?"

The servant girl was delighted to see her asking, so she thought about it carefully, and found that the other party hadn't said what she wanted, then she replied respectfully: "Return to the second girl, the servant girl doesn't know, she just welcomed into the house, and the eldest girl is in the hall. Talk to me."

After hearing this, Daiyu thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "You go back to my sister, just say that the weather is hot, I may be suffering from the heat, and I feel a little unwell, so I can't see guests, so I won't go.

After the other party has said what she wants to do, let her call me back. "

Hearing the words happily, he bowed and saluted, and after saying "yes", he withdrew.

After the person left, Xue Yan asked aloud: "Girl, the Second Grandma's visit is probably the old lady's intention, is it appropriate for you not to go see her?"

While turning the pages of the book, Daiyu said casually: "Is there anything suitable or not? My father said that I would stay away from there. If I don't see them, what's the matter?"

Seeing that she was displeased, Xueyan didn't dare to speak any more, she shut up and stood aside, quietly waiting for her orders.

After learning what Daiyu meant, Jiusi responded in a low voice, and explained to Wang Xifeng with a smile: "That girl has recently fallen in love with landscape painting, and she likes to go out and paint landscapes and water when she has nothing to do, probably because she is hot. gone."

Wang Xifeng was like a bright mirror in her heart, knowing that this was just an excuse, but she didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It's also thanks to your good care, if it wasn't for your good health, how could you run around like this?" , It can be seen that you are paying attention."

When people praised her, Jiu Si naturally had to give face, and she also praised Sister Qiao with a smile. After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere really eased up a lot.

Seeing her talking for a long time, Jiusi didn't mention what she was doing, so he had to ask first: "I don't know what the second sister-in-law is talking about this time, but what is the old lady's explanation?"

It made Wang Xifeng come here so many times regardless of her own situation and face, Jiusi didn't need to think too much, and knew that it was related to the return of the money owed to the state treasury.

Among many people, the Lin family didn't borrow much, but Lin Lin had borrowed more than 30 taels in total, and the Jia family, which was so innumerable, probably borrowed even more.

Wang Xifeng knew her temperament, and if she beat around the bush, she might not succeed, so she directly stated her intention of coming: "To tell you the truth, sister Lin, I shouldn't have come to my sister-in-law this time, after all, your family just gave the old lady 1 Wan Liang's filial piety, if we talk to you again, it will seem that we are a little greedy.

But there was really no other way at home, so I had to make such a trip.

You also know the situation at home, so many people want to eat and drink, and they have to build a garden for the mother to visit relatives, no matter how much money you have, it is not enough.

Now, your Lin family has taken the lead in repaying the debt owed by the state treasury, and our Rongning Second Mansion is not doing it for anything else but for the sake of your Lin family's face, so we must also pay it back together.

But the family is already in a difficult situation, and the treasury owes so much money, we have to take it out all at once, and we don't have that much money to pay back.

The old lady thought about it for a long time, and felt that our two families are really close, which is not comparable to other families.

Moreover, Uncle Lin is also filial. If there is a problem at home, you will help if others do not help you. So I thought I would ask you if there is still some money that can be moved out of the house. urgent? "

After finishing speaking, as if afraid of her misunderstanding, she hastily explained: "Of course, this money is not for nothing, and I will let you know when my mother visits relatives.

If the money in the family is collected, don't delay, and the money will be delivered immediately, so as to ensure that you will not suffer. "

When Jiusi heard this, he sneered in his heart.

It is said that for the sake of their family's face, they have to pay back the money, as if it is not for the sake of their family's face, they don't need to pay back the money.

The emperor has made this matter clear, and the other families have also returned the money. How dare you Rongning Second House not return it?

Let alone the concubine Jia Yuanchun, even if Jia Daishan was still alive, he would not be able to afford it.

She also said that she would not let their family suffer, but she had been talking for so long, but she didn't have a single word of truth. It was all fake big empty fooling her.

Moreover, she only talked about embezzling the money, but she didn't say how much she wanted. If she agreed, how much would the Jia family want for the lion to open her mouth?

Besides, who owes the treasury the most?
The Jia family is definitely countable.

If you dare not pay back so much money, the emperor may not wait until Yuanchun to visit your relatives, so he will have to copy your Jia's house.

When Jia Daishan was there, the situation of the Jia family was indeed good, but they also borrowed a lot of money from the treasury for many reasons, but they were able to repay it at that time.

But when Jia Daishan was gone and Jia's mother was in charge of the family, the Jia family fell into complete decline, and the state treasury borrowed more and more money, which has already exceeded what they can bear.

Jiusi roughly calculated in his heart that the Jia family owed at least 90 million taels to the state treasury. If they really repaid the debt owed to the state treasury, the family would probably be wiped out.

Besides, their family still has a Grand View Garden that hasn't been repaired. If the Lin family really dares to help them, all of the Lin family's belongings may have to be taken into it.

However, Jiusi did not expressly disagree, but declined her on the grounds that what he said was not effective: "Sister-in-law also knows that although I am in charge of the Lin family on the surface, I am just a concubine who is the housekeeper. , You have to ask Daiyu and her father what they mean.

How about this, I see that my sister-in-law is not looking well, why don't you go back and rest first, how about sending someone to give you a message after I write to ask my father what he means and discuss it with Daiyu? "

Of course Wang Xifeng knew that it didn't make sense once, so she didn't bother her too much, and said with a smile: "I understand my sister's difficulties, it's because my sister-in-law didn't think carefully.

If this is the case, then I will go back to the old lady first, and when there is news from my sister, I will come over and invite my sister to listen to the music and watch the show.

It just so happened that the family recently invited a little actor from another place for the empress, and wanted to let the empress have a good time watching it, but I don't know if the empress likes it, and you often enter the palace, so I think it is to give some good advice. "

　I’m in a hurry recently, and I’m in a very depressed mood, and the comments are not good. I’m really not in the mood to type. Let me slow down my emotions, or my mind will be in a mess, and I don’t know what I will write in the end.
