Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 219 I no longer feel bad in an instant

Jia Hui is not sure whether this reprimand is of any use. These people can't change their behavior and their tempers have been cultivated.

It may be quiet for a period of time, it's hard to say how long, but after they have almost forgotten about it, they will still relapse.

At that time, Oriole will need to watch more.

You can't use gentle methods, and you even need to do it several times in a bloody manner, otherwise they won't remember these rules.

But at least in the past few months now, they definitely don't have the guts to spread gossip about the house anymore.

As for the passers-by who had heard what those unscrupulous slaves said, their own soldiers had already gone to silence them.

If you listen to the advice, you will receive money.If you don't listen to the advice, it would be better. If you send him to the yamen of Chang'an Mansion and be locked up for a while and have a hard time, it will be honest.

And the one who wants the Jia family to increase the price even more excessively has a knife handle.

It is not unusual for a few people to disappear occasionally in this city. I believe passers-by also have a sense of discretion.

After giving instructions to Shi Qi to deal with the affairs of passers-by, Jia Hui abandoned Oriole, who was looking at Shi Qi with a red face, and left the small courtyard.

Everyone who could talk to the Shiwang family came over, and even Yuan Chun and Jia Min, the two married daughters, were informed by those "smart guys" who thought they were smart.

Although it was useless for the Wang family and even the Shi family to come over, this was a private matter of the Jia family, and the Shi and Wang families had nothing to do with it. The most they could do was deal with the Wang family being ripped off by the old lady.

But no matter what, in most cases, the natal family provides the confidence for the daughters to get married. Even when they are in their late [-]s or [-]s, they still have nephews and grandsons to rely on.

There were maids and women taking care of the Wang family, so Jia Hui returned to Rongxi Hall alone.

The heads of both families have arrived. At this moment, even though the two brothers from the Shi family are both marquises, they are a little short of breath in front of Wang Ziteng.

There was nothing we could do, it was the old aunt of their Shi family who had opened the pot to the Wang family's aunt.
"I met the princess, my three uncles, and my aunt. Hui came late and didn't come far to greet me."

The sound coming from the back door broke the awkward atmosphere between the three of them. The three of them hurriedly walked down the slope towards Jia Hui. Yuan Chun and Jia Min, who were sitting on the top chairs beside them, also stood up and joined Jia Hui. Hui asked.

With such a big incident happening, the few people were naturally not in the mood to be polite, so they just said hello and took their seats.

"Hey Jinyu, what on earth happened? Why did you give this to the Wang family girl?" Shi Nai, who had the most irritable temper, asked Jia Hui anxiously as soon as he sat down.

He had arrived relatively late before, and before he could ask Jia She who came to greet them, Wang Ziteng came over.
"Well, this matter is really hard to talk about." Jia Hui was also a little hesitant, but when he thought that he couldn't hide this matter from them, he simply told it all.

"It's like this. Not long ago, my second uncle got an errand to repair rivers in Beiping."

"Yes, Brother Hui. Logically speaking, given the construction schedule of the master, the news that he will return to Beijing after completion should have been received long ago, right? But why is there no news at all from my sister?" Yuanchun also cares about his parents. No more royal etiquette, he turned his head and looked at the frowning Jia Hui eagerly.

"Don't wait to hear me out!" Jia Hui paused and reorganized his words, "But everyone knows what level Second Uncle is."

Brother Jia She, Jia Min, Shi Jia brothers and Wang Ziteng nodded subconsciously, but then they realized that their close daughter-in-law, the Queen and the Concubine, was still there, and she was still their junior, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
However, Yuanchun didn't seem to show any other emotions. He still looked anxious because he didn't know his old father's current situation.

I don’t know if she turned a deaf ear to this matter because she was out of the city, or if she thinks so too.
"As expected, when my second uncle arrived in Peiping, he left the errands to the Qing Dynasty guests to take care of. Instead, he went to visit relatives and friends. He also said that he wanted to build a river that could last for a hundred years without needing repairs." Jia Hui began to talk about today's day. The whole story of what happened was told to everyone.

After talking for about a quarter of an hour, everyone finally figured out the cause of the matter.

"This" heard that the little cousin Jia Zheng had recently done a big job, the two Shi brothers looked at each other blankly, feeling as if they had gotten to know him again.

It's so showy!
He handed all the money and things directly to his Qianke, without even going to the construction site!

As expected, the Qingke took the money and ran away, leaving behind only half-repaired projects and a deficit of more than 10 taels.
"How did he do it?" Wang Ziteng also didn't understand. In his impression, Jia Zheng was obviously a talented person. How could he do such a big thing quietly?

It's ridiculous!

"So, the master owes the court a total of 20 taels of silver?" Yuan Chun keenly found the key to the matter.

"How much?" Upon hearing what Yuanchun said, Jia Min, who was covering her face and shaking all over just now, and didn't know whether she was crying or laughing, suddenly raised her head.

"Yes, the fine set by the court for the second uncle is 20 taels." Seeing Jia Min looking at him, Jia Hui nodded affirmatively.

"So, this is the main reason why the old lady started fighting with my sister?" Wang Ziteng suddenly realized.

In this way, the matter became simple and clear in an instant. He knew exactly what kind of temper his sister was. In the early years, the family was poor for several years due to certain things, and that period happened to be when Wang Shuqing grew up. Although in the end The family has also recovered, but their two younger sisters have also been forced to develop a temperament that insists on asking for money and cannot bear to see that the money is not in their hands.

Fortunately, the younger sister was not seriously poisoned or had a good temper. She slowly recovered after marrying into the Xue family and becoming the mistress. But Wang Shuqing was different. He married the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion!
After entering the mansion, she was suppressed by the eldest lady Zhang, Jia She's first wife and Jia Hui's aunt for many years. Even Jia Min, the sister-in-law, had never obeyed her, let alone been dealt with by Zhang's methods. She obeyed the obedient servants. Except for the companion she brought with her, there was no Jia servant who listened to her.

When Jia Zheng got married, he helped Wang Shuqing talk, and even refuted the old lady in a roundabout way. But when Jia Shi gave him a maid named Zhao as his aunt, she lost her voice again.
"But... I remember that when Shuqing got married, my Wang family prepared 20 taels for her dowry alone! In addition, after deducting daily expenses from the income from those shops, we should have saved another 2 taels of silver. Are you here?" Wang Ziteng felt something was wrong. Although he couldn't say it clearly, everyone present was either the head of the family or the mistress. Everyone knew that their sister must have taken something from the Rongguo Mansion's treasury!
"Coupled with the recent division of property and the distribution of a lot of good things, I guess cousin Zheng's family should have more than 30 taels of silver, right?" Shi Ding also followed up Wang Ziteng's words.

"And my aunt has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for almost 50 years, right? She should have a lot of money, right? I remember that my aunt also said before that all her body will be given to Bao in the future. What is Bao?"

"Baoyu!" Yuanchun reminded.

"Baoyu? Yes, isn't Baoyu your second wife? Isn't there a big difference between giving him now and giving him later!" Shi Nai said with a corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Then why don't my cousin give this title and property to my cousin Xianyun now? Anyway, I will pass all the property to Brother Xianyun in the future. Why wait until decades later?" Jia Min said to him. Shi Nai said with strange yin and yang.

"Huh? Hahaha, what my cousin said is really... Haha, my cousin is joking, I'm joking." After being slapped like this by Jia Min, Shi Nai realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly begged for mercy with a smile.

Those are my aunt's own, and she can use them however she wants. Even when her uncle Jia Daishan was still alive, he was not qualified to say anything. The most he could do was to advise her to save some money.
"But even if this is the case, doesn't the ancestor mean to help me? I am the ancestor's biological son!" Yuanchun looked puzzled.

Hearing Yuanchun's words, Jia She was not happy. The second brother Zheng was his wife's biological son, so he, the elder She, was adopted?

I am the grandson that the old man and my ancestors love most!The old man and his ancestors also gave their bodies to him, leaving not a penny for Mr. Zheng!
Just as he was about to come out to refute Yuan Chun and consolidate his authority as an uncle, Jia Hui pushed him down on the chair.

"Dad, please don't cause trouble. After all, something happened to Yuanchun and her father. She is so panicked now that she speaks indiscriminately. Whatever she says is not surprising, forget it."

"Huh!" Jia She snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Isn't that just like this? The old lady is a mother-in-law! Even if she can't get out the 20 taels of silver, can she and the Wang family each provide 10 taels of silver?" Jia Min is also very puzzled now. Obviously her mother and The Wang family can afford 10 taels, so why is it still like this?
"I heard from the servants that after the old lady found out about this, she only took out about 7 taels of silver, and the remaining 13 taels had to be paid by the second house herself. Mrs. Wang didn't want to think that the family should at least contribute 10 taels. Two, and the two of them started to quarrel." Jia Hui pretended to have just heard what happened from the servant's mouth.

Everyone was stunned again, not expecting it to be because of this.
No, no matter who it is, you guys should pay out the money first and fish out Jia Zheng!

This man is still in jail, and he is starting to fight over money. You are really a good mother and wife of Jia Zheng!

The Shi brothers and Wang Ziteng were already a little numb, but Jia Min was okay. She, as a daughter, also knew what kind of temper the old lady was.She has also dealt with Mr. Wang and learned her methods.

But Yuanchun was a little shocked.

Our ancestors and mother, who were usually so kind-faced, turned out to be
Is there such a philistine side?

Yuanchun didn't understand that she had been living in the wealthy home of Rongguo Mansion since she was born. As a legitimate daughter, she was pampered by Jia Daishan and the old lady and grew up. Money and power were so far away from her life. .

Coupled with the old lady's oiran-like parenting style (which Chen Si summarized for Yuanchun), he has never even touched these mundane matters!
If his mother hadn't given him some urgent training before he got married, he would have had some talent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fully control the entire palace!
The ancestors are also true.
Yuanchun was a little discouraged.

"Okay, let's not say much. The injuries of the second cousin, the second brother of the Wang family, and the second sister-in-law have stabilized. The imperial doctor said that it will take a while for the second sister-in-law to wake up. Can the affairs of the Shi family and the Wang family wait until the second sister-in-law wakes up? Say more?" Jia Min was eager to end this embarrassing topic and quickly interrupted everyone who was whispering.

After hearing this, the Shi brothers did not say anything immediately. After all, they were the ones who were wronged, so they looked at the brother of the sufferer.

"Well, that's fine, just follow what sister Yi Min said!" Wang Ziteng thought for three or four breaths before agreeing to the proposal. The Wang family's face was about to be lost by Wang Shuqing. If it continues like this, what if What should we do if the news is leaked and people know about Wang Shuqing's deeds and question the Wang family's tutoring?

I believe brothers Shi Ding and Shi Nai think so too, right?
Wang Ziteng turned his head and looked at Shi Ding, and they immediately felt that they were in the same boat.

For a time, the awkward atmosphere caused by the incident of Aunt Wang's wife being fucked by Aunt Shi's wife disappeared without a trace.
It's so embarrassing. Let's get this over with!
"Okay, Brother Hui, you should know how much money your mother and second wife have, right?" Jia Min turned her head to look at Jia Hui, who was talking to Jia She with her head tilted.

She knows her eldest nephew very well, and his eldest maid Huangli also knows it herself. She is the best at collecting information. He must know something, otherwise, according to Jia Hui's family-loving temperament, how could he let him go? Second uncle is in jail?

He must have known that his mother and the Wang family were fully capable, and that they could even fish out the second brother alone, and that was why he turned into a spectator.

"I do know that the total value of the old lady's body is about 110 million taels, right?"

hiss--

Jia Hui suddenly felt that the room in Rongxi Hall had become several degrees hotter.

"Then, my sister is wrong, how many second bedrooms does that have?" Wang Ziteng asked somewhat dullly.

Although the Wang family at this time was not as wealthy as in the original work, "The East China Sea lacked a white jade bed, the Dragon King came to find the King of Jinling", but as his career went on the right track, the family became wealthy again. I believe that in another ten years or so, the Wang family will You will be able to return to your peak.
But now even if I sell my ancestral home, I still can’t raise more than one million taels!

"The second house, the total assets of the second house are more than 30 and nearly 40 taels," Jia Hui blurted out.

hiss--

Wang Ziteng took a deep breath, his teeth ached from the cold air.
Instantly I no longer felt sorry for my sister.
