Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 220
I originally thought that my sister was hurt because she really had no money, so she was trying to get the old lady of the Jia family to contribute some money. When I came to Rongguo Mansion, I was still thinking about getting more money from the Shi family.
However, the truth of the matter was completely beyond his imagination.

Wang Shuqing is now richer than her second brother, the head of the Wang family!

Wang Ziteng lay on the chair with his hands on his chest, staring blankly at the beams above his head.
Forget it, so be it.

This sister is probably useless.
When everyone here knew the assets in the hands of Jia Shi and Wang, everyone lost the idea of ​​continuing to argue.

I thought it was some big event that caused the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to fight, but it turned out that it was because they couldn't agree on how much money each would pay?
The majesty of the old lady has been greatly reduced, and her authority has been greatly reduced in the eyes of this group of nephews and grandchildren. Even Jia Min, her own daughter, looks down upon her.

As for the Wang family, except for Wang Ziteng, who is the brother, and Yuan Chun, who is the daughter, no one thinks highly of her.
But it doesn't matter whether you like these two or not, the 20 taels still have to be put together, so under Jia Min's auspices, a plan that everyone can accept is released.

The old lady offered 10 taels. After all, she hit someone, so she should pay the bulk of it.

The second house cost 7 taels. After all, Jia Zhu will get married soon after returning from North Korea. In addition to the wedding banquet, he also needs to buy a house in Luoyang that is suitable for his status and spacious enough. After a hundred years, Mrs. Jia She will definitely not be able to accommodate their family, so the entire second bedroom will have to be moved there.

There is indeed a lot to spend money on, so we won’t spend too much money on the second bedroom.

As for the remaining 3 taels, it was promised by Yuanchun.

After all, Jia Zheng is Prince Yiyong's father, and Princess Yuanchun's biological father. He should fulfill his filial piety for his old father. Chen Si had told her before Yuanchun came to Rongguo Mansion that she would allow some appropriate contributions. Money, don’t exceed 5 taels.

Before the young man came to the palace to inform, Chen Si was a little worried that the Jia family had given up on his father-in-law, but when the young man came to inform him, Chen Si felt relieved.

Because of Chen Er's downfall, he was so busy eating away at his power that he even forgot to ask Jia Hui.

The gains from cannibalizing Chen Er's power were not great, and only a few minor officials were recruited here and there.
Chen Si was not surprised by this. After all, the biological mothers of brothers Chen Er and Chen San were from Jizhen. If Chen Er is gone, there will still be Chen San. It doesn't matter if he has physical defects and cannot be the emperor. It just works. Follow him and stay neutral.
"Then it's settled? 10 taels for the old lady, 7 taels for the second house, and 3 taels for the princess. Are you sure? Are there any objections?" Jia Min turned her head and looked at Yuan Chun, confirming cautiously.

"Aunt, I have no objection." Yuanchun replied calmly.

"Where are the cousins? Eldest brother? Brother Hui?" Jia Min looked around at everyone present.

"Aunt, I have no objection." Jia Hui spoke first, and the Shi brothers and Wang Ziteng beside him quickly responded.

"Okay, it's settled. Let's go to the backyard to look for the old lady and Mrs. Wang." Jia Min nodded and stood up first and walked to the back house. The people behind him didn't dare to disobey and got up to follow.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be handled by a clan elder or Jia She or Shi Ding, but who is Jia Min?Jia Min is the daughter of Jia Daishan and Jia Shi. She is only six or seven years older than the eldest grandson Jia Hui. She can be said to be the apple of the eye of the entire Jia family!

If others object to what Jia Min wants to do, then his eldest brother Jia She will definitely be the first to jump out and beat up those who object!
Can't beat it?Can't beat Jia Hui!

Therefore, as cousins, the Shi brothers and their distant cousin Wang Ziteng certainly have no objections. Jia Min will be Jia Min. They didn't pay for it anyway, so it's not worthwhile for them to lose half their lives for 20 taels. .
. . . . . .

The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall was awkward, and the Wang family's courtyard certainly wouldn't be peaceful either.

After learning the reason why the old lady beat Wang, Li Wan, who still had little experience, and the two wives of the Shi family, and Wang Ziteng's wife Li, were really eye-opening.
"What? Let me pay 10 taels! Shi Ding, are you just looking at these evil things to harm your aunt? You are really my good nephew. It was in vain that I was blind and lard blinded my heart. Help you secure the title of Bowling Marquis!
And you, Shi Nai!Don’t think that the old lady doesn’t know you’re smiling just because you’re at the end of the queue!You are not a good person either!Your second brother is soft-tempered, but aren’t you good at talking back?Your second brother doesn’t dare to talk back, what about you?Isn't that strip of pink meat in your mouth just for tasting?
I finally figured it out. You two are all coveting my body. I’ll put my words aside today. I can’t afford this money! "

After hearing Jia Min report the distribution plan they had discussed, the old lady's eyes turned red instantly, and she started to curse in front of everyone. When the old lady got tired of scolding, Jia Min and his group who were standing just lowered their heads. Be silent.

When her mouth was dry from scolding, she saw this group of villains standing there silently like wooden figures. Mother Jia knew that these people were paying no attention to her words, so she snorted coldly, turned away and said nothing. .

"Mom, Brother Zhu is getting married soon. It's the time when he needs the most money. He really can't afford so much." Seeing that the old lady had no intention of compromising, Jia Min could only smile bitterly and step forward to persuade her.

"Come here! It's time to spend money? Even when the Emperor married the Crown Princess, the total cost was only 30 taels of silver. How much more does Brother Zhu want to spend on his wedding? How much can he spend?" The old lady glared. Jia Min is a traitor who doesn't share her heart.

"Old lady, you are talking nonsense. The Emperor will live in the East Palace when he gets married, but Brother Zhu has to find another residence!"

"Ha, you are bullying me, a housewife, who doesn't understand the market? A house with three entrances in Luoyang City costs 1000 taels! Even those houses with five entrances can be bought for 6000 taels. It's a very good one!" The wife suddenly turned around and glared viciously at Jia Hui, who was talkative just now.

"Tsk, it seems the old lady is very knowledgeable."

Jia Hui licked his lips.

"Old lady, the second uncle is your son, and he is here for these tens of thousands taels."

"Among those here, you are the only one who has no right to say this! For these tens of thousands taels, it's easy to say. If you have money, then why don't you pay to help your second uncle redeem it!
What else? Today I, Jia Hui, will put my words here. If something happens to my second uncle and I need to get involved, or I need to pay a million liang of money, otherwise, I won’t pay a penny! 'Such bullshit. "Old lady, you are being a bit unreasonable. Without me, would the second uncle have been locked up in the Xiuyi Guard Prison?"He was put in a prison car and paraded all the way to Chang'an!When the time comes, not only will you have to pay a fine of 20 taels, but you will also have to spend another 20 years in prison. Even a fifth-grade Yuanwailang will not have to do that!
Hehe, how can there be such a good thing that just pays the fine? "Jia Hui was unhappy. He didn't contribute any money, but saving people can't be solved with money!
You know, those people in the Sanfa Department and those who embroidered clothes did not follow the formal procedures and sentenced Jia Zheng because of their own face!
If he were an ordinary person, he would not only have to pay a fine, but he would also have to spend 1 years in jail according to the rule of one year in jail for every 20 taels fined!

Even a fifth-grade official is not worthy of being a junior official!
"Since you used your connections to protect your second uncle, why didn't you just hand over all the money? You have tens of millions of taels! To you, 20 taels is nothing, right? "The old lady immediately felt that she had grasped Jia Hui's lifeline.

"Hey, old lady, do you dare to say that your more than 100 million yuan was earned by your own dowry industry?" Jia Hui sneered and lost the motivation to continue talking to the old lady, no matter how much the old lady cursed him. , and he stopped replying.

"Okay, mother! 10 taels, won't you come up with just 10 taels? That's the second brother!" Jia Min, who had been observing since Jia Hui and the old lady quarreled, confirmed that the old lady She is no longer the gentle and kind lady she remembered deep in her memory. Now she has only become a shrewish old lady who gets stingier as she gets richer.
"Mother, after all, it was you who inflicted the injury on Second Aunt Wang. For this reason, you have to pay more as compensation."

"She is my daughter-in-law. If she has no rules, then it is up to me, the mother-in-law, to set the rules for her!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became silent for an instant.

Daughter-in-law?On weekdays, it's enough to call her around a little more, and it's like teasing her daughter-in-law, but the Wang family has been hit hard!This doesn’t even mean “setting up rules”!
"Oh, old lady, then my sister, the daughter of the Wang family, deserves to be beaten by you?" Wang Ziteng almost laughed angrily.

"Wang family? Bah! When you were in Jinling, your Wang family was a small family that opened a grocery store. If my father-in-law and my father hadn't invaded Jinling City and were in need of help from the township party, and if your grandma hadn't been a girl from the Jia family, Do you think your family can turn around? The Wang family? What the hell." The old lady said disdainfully.

"Then there's your sister. Oh, my Zheng'er is the second son of the Duke's family, and he is a perfect match for the second daughter of other princes and noble families!

If it weren't for your grandma's sake, do you think Wang Shuqing, the daughter of the uncle's family who controls the county, is worthy enough to join the Jia family? "The old lady is full of firepower and is ready to fight!"
The four major families and old relatives are all bullshit!
After several times of rubbing in the past six months, she, Jia Shi, had looked away.

Anyway, if Jia Hui is born in the family and the wealth of the Jia family is preserved, then I am fully qualified to stand up straight and meet the ancestors of the Jia family and the master Jia Daishan!

Anyway, there is a high probability that there will not be much life left under the influence of this group of evil spirits, so why not completely tear off the mask that has been worn for almost an armor and spend your old age happily regardless of the life and death of others?
Anyone who makes me uncomfortable, I don’t care who you are, scold me!
The old lady's words not only made the prince so angry that he blew his beard and stared with a pale face. Even Yuan Chun, who was bleeding from the Wang family, looked at the proud old lady in disbelief.
"Shut up! You still love the princess. You can't even make the decision to save your own father! I was worried that you would be despised by the king because you gave 20 taels, and you would be looked down upon by the servants in the palace, so I didn't tell you.

But now you know it, since you know it, why don’t you give in all the 20 taels! "The old lady glared at Yuanchun with red eyes and cursed
Kill crazy!

"Son, we can't go on like this! It doesn't matter if you curse, everyone here is my family, but I'm worried. I'm worried that the old lady will be angry like this again." Jia She, who had been standing behind Jia Hui in a low-key manner, couldn't help it. , stretched out his hand and tugged Jia Hui's sleeve but hesitated to speak.

"Dad, you're right." Jia Hui agreed with Jia She's words, and really couldn't let the old lady talk any more.

"Okay, old lady, you've decided to pay for this money, even if you don't pay, you can still get it! Dad, aunt, let's go to the warehouse!" Jia Hui made a decisive decision to go straight to Huanglong, waved his hand towards the beam, and made a "pop" sound A poisonous needle coated with hemp powder was pierced into the old lady's shoulder.
"Ah? Jia Hui, you"

"Auntie, don't panic, the numbness is just gone. If the old lady gets angry like this, her blood vessels will burst!"

So the old lady was crying and cursing these unfilial nephews who wanted to rebel against Tiangang and kill her, and at the same time she was about to put on imperial makeup and go to the palace to sue for imperial status. Jia Hui took the lead and led the two brothers Jia She, Jia Min and Shi Jia to break down the door of the old lady's private treasury.
"Hey, dad, look, isn't this the red coral that the emperor gave to the old man? I remember that the old man even held a banquet to show off for several days!" Jia Hui pointed to a table that was nearly four feet high. cried the red coral monster.

"Oh, it's true! Why can't I find this in the warehouse of your house? It turns out that it was put away by the old lady!"

"Ok?"

Jia She seemed to have said something outrageous unconsciously.
"My warehouse?"

"Ah, no, it's the warehouse of the government treasury." Jia She suddenly realized that he seemed to have let something slip, and quickly changed his words.

"Forget it, Dad, please remember to tell the manager when you take things from my warehouse."

Anyway, most of his money and goodies are not hidden in the warehouse of the county government. There are only about 120 million taels of silver, 2000 taels of gold, and some ordinary antiques and unprocessed jewelry there.

All the good stuff and most of the money were hidden in a place that only he and Li Wan knew. Even if Jia She moved all the warehouses in the house, it wouldn't be considered a loss.

Jia Hui and his party had an eye-opening experience in Jia Mu's private treasury.
There are really all kinds of good things there. Jia Hui even found a piece of wootz steel weighing about ten kilograms in the corner of the warehouse. He easily moved it and put it in his arms to hide it.

As twenty large wooden boxes filled with silver ingots were carried out of Jia Mu's warehouse, half of Jia Zheng's silver was ready.

As long as the money for the second house and Yuanchun's money are delivered, you can go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to redeem the person.
