Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 124: Like being struck by lightning (please subscribe)

Jia Huan, who returned to his residence, did not know that the old lady was in a very unhappy mood at this time.

The source naturally came from the two Shi Hous. When they left, they were so anxious that they forgot to say hello to the old lady and left.

This is very rude, especially when Shi Jia Shuanghou is the old lady's nephew.

Their behavior showed signs of being slapped in the face.

Naturally, the old lady was unhappy. She felt that the two princes of the Shi family did not know etiquette and were obsessed with the bad things in the past. They were too narrow-minded.

If Shi Jia Shuanghou knew what the old lady was thinking, he would definitely be extremely depressed.

At the beginning, the old lady would rather hand over Rongfu's connections in Beijing to Wang Ziteng than share her fortune with the two of them, so she had already held her breath in her heart.

Later, he took the initiative to distance himself from Rongfu, and his attitude was quite obvious.

However, the old lady turned a blind eye and didn't care at all. She intervened in the Shi family's affairs as she should, without any courtesy at all.

Who calls the old lady an elder? No matter how unhappy Shi Jia Shuanghou is, he can only hold it in.

On every New Year's Day, you have to take the initiative to visit and greet someone. This is the so-called etiquette.

They thought to themselves that they had done quite well. If someone with a more grumpy temper had replaced them, they might have started to make a fuss.

This time, I just didn't show some courtesy when leaving for some reason, and I got complained. Who can I talk to for explanation?
The two of them left happily, and Mr. Zheng was immediately called to Rongqing Hall for a reply.

Fortunately, the old lady knew what was going on and had driven the others away early. Rongqingtang had the old lady and Master Pardon present so that they could say some more confidential words.

Mr. Zheng Er did not hide anything and recounted what happened in the big study.

The old lady said in a deep voice: "Second brother, have you really made up your mind?"

"Mother, can you still take back that memorial now?"

Mr. Zheng Er took a breath and said calmly: "We can only bite the bullet and charge forward!"

"Second brother, I support you this time!"

Master Pardon smiled and said, "But, do you have so much money in the house?"

After all, the treasury owes money, and he can't say anything about not paying it back. Who knows if there are any royal spies in the house, what if it gets to the ears of the current emperor?
After hearing this, Mr. Zheng Er looked at the old lady expectantly.

The inner treasury of Rong Mansion was firmly controlled by the old lady.

To repay the money for this adventure, we naturally have to get money from the inner treasury. It is impossible for the public to have so much money.

The old lady looked hesitant and said calmly: "The amount of silver in the inner treasury is probably only one million taels!"

"If you want to use the second one, just take it. Anyway, it belongs to you two brothers from now on!"

"and many more!"

The Pardon Master immediately reacted and looked at the old lady with piercing eyes: "Does the old lady really mean what she said?"

"Why, if the money in the inner treasury is not left to you two, who else can it be left to?"

The old lady's eyes were sharp and she said angrily: "You are already so old, don't be so impatient like a young boy and make people laugh!"

"In this case, I'm sorry, I don't agree to use the money in the internal treasury!"

Master Pardon narrowed his eyes and changed his face faster than he could flip through a book.

"What, what, brother, what did you say?"

Mr. Zheng Er's eyes widened as if struck by lightning, and the way he looked at Mr. Pardon changed.

If the inner treasury does not provide money, he will definitely be doomed this time. Unless he and the Supreme Emperor join forces to protect it, this is simply impossible.

Without real money to back it up, who cares about a mere Taipusi Shaoqing?
It was rare that the old lady didn't scold Mr. Pardon and just sat there as if she was in a state of confusion.

Obviously, she didn't want to take out the money from the inner treasury.

Mr. Zheng Er's face turned pale at this time, and he looked quite despairing.

He never expected that at such a critical moment, the old lady and the pardoner would have such an attitude!

Don't they know that if they mess with the current emperor this time, he will have no hope in officialdom?

The atmosphere in the main hall of Rongqing Hall was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Second brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's impossible for me to give you the 40 taels of silver in my inner treasury!"

Mr. Pardon is a bachelor and speaks quite straightforwardly.

I don’t know where he got the confidence to think that he would be able to get the seventh achievement with the money stored in his memory?
"Second brother, if the boss doesn't support you, the government will definitely not be able to get 80 taels of silver!"

The old lady spoke at this time and said leisurely: "You can think of a way and see if you can fool me!"

Mr. Zheng Er's body froze, as if he had become shorter in an instant, and his whole body's energy and spirit had declined a lot.

His mind was as chaotic as paste, and he was filled with depression but didn't know how to vent it. He just knew one fact: It was over, it was over, his official career was completely over!
Not knowing how he got out of Rongqing Hall, Master Zheng walked to the second room in despair.

The maid and woman he met on the road saluted and said hello, but he ignored them.

In such a state, Mrs. Wang was naturally alarmed immediately.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Mr. Zheng Er, she was also shocked by his decadent state.Seeing Mrs. Wang, Master Zheng reluctantly cheered up and asked in a hoarse voice: "Madam, how much money can our second bedroom have from our private treasury?"

"Master, why do you ask this?"

Mrs. Wang was a little confused, but she still replied: "Five to sixty thousand taels, you can still get it!"

Mr. Zheng Er's eyes, which had a little hope at first, turned into silence again.

He waved his hands and said nothing, staggering towards Aunt Zhao's yard.

Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became very ugly. She glanced at Aunt Zhao's residence with blazing eyes, turned around and left with the maid beside her.

In my heart, I felt a little uneasy.Master Zheng suddenly asked about the private bank account of his second wife, which made her a little more wary.

That is to say, the second master of politics is not familiar with ordinary affairs, otherwise he would definitely know that Mrs. Wang is panicking.

Are you kidding me? Mrs. Wang has been in charge of Rongfu Middle School for nearly 20 years. How could the private bank account of the second bedroom only have a mere 6 to [-] taels? Aren't you fooling people?

Mr. Zheng Er didn't know what he was thinking. In this state of despair and confusion, he actually came to Aunt Zhao's residence.

At this time, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao were having dinner, and they were all surprised to see Mr. Zheng.

Especially Jia Huan, he still remembered that when he left the big study, although Mr. Zheng was not high-spirited, he was also high-spirited and high-spirited.

Unlike now, he has become completely lost, his eyes dim, and he looks like he is possessed by a degenerate god.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

Jia Huan hurriedly helped Mr. Zheng sit down and handed him a cup of tea before he asked.

"Brother Huan, forget it, the previous plan is invalid!"

Mr. Zheng Er gathered his energy and said with a wry smile: "From now on, study hard and make progress in the clan school, and don't think about all this!"

"Why is this such nonsense?"

Jia Huan retorted: "It is related to the master's official career, so we can't take it too seriously!"

"Official career? Yes, that is my official career, sir!"

Mr. Zheng Er shook his head repeatedly and said sadly: "It's a pity that there will be no official career in the future!"

Jia Huan was taken aback and signaled Aunt Zhao to leave first with her eyes.Anyway, judging from the confused look on her face, she probably doesn't understand, so don't listen.

Knowing some things is not a good thing for Aunt Zhao.

At this time, Aunt Zhao remained silent for a rare moment, got up and went out, closing the door behind her.

Although he didn't understand much, he knew that what Jia Huan was going to say to Mr. Zheng was probably quite shocking.

Really amazing@
When Jia Huan opened his mouth, Master Zheng was shocked: "Master, is it true that Rongqingtang doesn't give money?"

"how do you know?"

Mr. Zheng Er subconsciously spoke, but when he realized it was already too late, he simply nodded and said that was it.

Then, he briefly recounted what happened at Rongqing Hall, his face looking quite ugly.

No matter how many times I calculated, I didn’t expect that my mother wouldn’t support it!
The previous series of actions were almost like jokes, and he was the clown in them.

"Master, don't you have the slightest doubt?"

Jia Huan was very calm and even had a strange look on his face as he asked.

"Doubt what?"

Mr. Zheng Er said weakly: "If the old lady doesn't support it, there is nothing we can do!"

"My child means, do you still have 80 taels of silver in the inner treasury?"

Jia Huan shook his head and made an astonishing guess: "My opinion is, it's very likely not!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The second master Zheng was dissatisfied and said: "The inner treasury of the dignified Rong Mansion doesn't even have 80 taels of silver. Isn't it a joke?"

He had experienced the peak period of Rong Mansion. At that time, Rong Mansion was extremely prosperous and naturally had a lot of money. He didn't know how much money was stored in the inner treasury.

From his feeling, at least several million taels are indispensable!
When the old lady said it was only 100 million taels, he actually didn't believe it, but he didn't say it out loud. The peak of Rongfu was only 20 years ago.

During this period, no house confiscations were encountered. The income from the public sector alone could support the entire government staff, and the hidden silver in the inner treasury would hardly be used.

"Master, don't worry!"

At this time, Jia Huan was with the old god, and said with a leisurely smile: "My child didn't say that there is no money in the house, it's just that the bulk of the money is not in the inner treasury!"

Seeing that the second master of Zheng was a little confused, he reminded: "Just like Mr. Pardon, even if you think he has nothing to do all day long, he is definitely the richest man in Rongfu, the richest kind!"

Jia Huan said word by word: "Because, I occasionally heard that most of the private houses of the first generation Rongguo Gong, that is, great-grandfather, were all passed down to Master Shengda!"

"What did you say this for?"

The second master Zheng said in confusion: "Whether your uncle is the richest man in Rongfu or not, what does it have to do with me?"
