The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 489 Return
Jia She jumped, and Jia's mother sighed, alas, what can she do, now she can only let Jia She and Jia Zheng share the burden, and she will take out some more by the way, and after returning the money, the family will continue to live. Everyone can't drink northwest wind.

After hesitating for a while, Mother Jia couldn't help but said, "How about... borrowing it from Yu'er?"

Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Jia Zheng nodded vigorously, "Mother is right. My niece has lived in our house for several years. Now that we are in trouble, she should help us."

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, look, where did his heart go, swallowing the Lin family's property, when Lin Daiyu got married, half of the dowry was Jia Min's old things, and now the family didn't have enough money, so they planned to find Lin Daiyu The newly married daughter-in-law owes the Lin family to the Jia family.

Jia She couldn't help but said, "Mother, I don't have the face to tell my niece this. If you can say it, then you can say it yourself."

Jiamu's face was embarrassing, so she just said it casually, and didn't really want to ask Lin Daiyu to borrow it.

At this time, Jia Lian, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back. He had a serious face, and he felt that the situation was serious, and the money could not be delayed and must be returned.

After Jia's mother heard Jia Lian's news, her old face turned pale. Is it possible that the Rongguo Mansion is really going to fall into her hands?

Seeing this, Jia Lian couldn't help persuading him, "Old Ancestor, let's save some expenses in the future. There are too many servants in the mansion. Sell what should be sold, what should be saved, and don't always think about the glory of the past." , after all, now is no better than before.”

To be honest, there are many women in Rongguo Mansion, and a large part of those expenses and ostentation are taken up by women. He is a big man, what can he enjoy?Rouge gouache?Clothing and jewelry?No, he doesn't like these things, he just loves eating, drinking, and women. These three things are satisfied, and he doesn't care about the rest.

Jia Lian's words were the truth, but Jia's mother listened harshly, she immediately lowered her face and reprimanded, "In a family like ours, there are only buyers, how can there be sellers?"

Jia Lian couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words, returning people like us, what kind of people?In the entire capital city, they can only be ranked in the fourth or fifth ranks. Outside, the prince Baylor walks all over the place. When he goes out to meet everyone, he has to nod and bow. Only this group of women in the inner house can't see the situation clearly, and they always miss the glory of the past.

Prosperity and decline, no matter for the family or the dynasty, it is the same.

The prosperity of the iron-clad family, now the prosperity of their Jia family has come to an end.

"Mother, what Lianer said makes sense. What are you reprimanding him for?" Jia Amnesty was dissatisfied, and stood up to defend Jia Lian. He was a fool who dared to say anything, "Mother, what kind of family is our family? We are For those who owe a lot of treasury money, is it important to maintain the pomp or the survival of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Mu was choked by Jia Amnesty's words and couldn't utter a word, but Jia Zheng was dissatisfied, and stood up and accused Jia Amnesty of being unfilial, and spoke against Jia Mu.

Jia She sneered, "Since you are filial, you should find a way to return the 12 silver."

Jia Zheng "..."

Jia Zheng was choked to death.

There was a war of words, and there was no discussion about the outcome. In the end, the few people broke up unhappy.Jia Lian went back to her small courtyard sullenly. Seeing that Wang Xifeng was teasing Qiaojie, she couldn't help telling Wang Xifeng what happened just now.

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was shocked. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

Wang Xifeng didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, and she didn't know what to do when she encountered this matter. After thinking about it, she decided to ask Lin Daiyu for advice.

What good idea can Lin Daiyu think of is nothing more than saving expenses, increasing income and reducing expenditure, and living frugally.

Wang Xifeng also thought that her housekeeper had already seen that something was not going well, and now that she got Lin Daiyu's words, she hurried to find Jia Mu and told Jia Mu what she and Lin Daiyu thought.

Jia's mother was reluctant at first, but when she got old, she just wanted to have more people and live happily, and she didn't want to wrong Jia Baoyu.

It's a pity that the arms cannot hold the thighs, and personal will is stronger than the situation. Jia's mother is no longer willing and can't watch the Rongguo Mansion perish in her hands. Have a good time.

If you are wronged, you can be wronged, there is no way.

Mother Jia had no choice but to hand over the matter of saving various expenses to Wang Xifeng, and let her handle it as appropriate.As a result, the Rongguo Mansion was crying and howling for days on end. First, the redundant maids and servants were sold off, and then everyone in the mansion had their quotas reduced.Moreover, Wang Xifeng became ruthless, and strictly controlled the purchase of the kitchen with the most oil and water, and even put down the shelf of the young mistress and went to the vegetable market to inquire about various daily necessities. This question caused a big problem. , One egg is one tael of silver, but the market price is three Wen per egg, how many times is it wrong?Who scooped up the oil and water in the middle?Eggs are like this, so are other objects. How much money was greedy in the middle?

Thinking of Mrs. Wang's housekeeper in the past, Wang Xifeng wanted to pursue this matter. She severely tortured the person in charge of the purchase in the kitchen, and finally got Mrs. Wang involved.

Wang Xifeng took the confession and evidence to find Jia Mu. Although Jia Mu knew that Mrs. Wang was greedy, she didn't expect to be so greedy. Withered again, Jia Baoyu is her lifeblood, and she can tolerate all mistakes for Jia Baoyu.

So it is the source of injustice to say that the heart is biased. As long as the heart is on you, you will be able to suppress the big things that day.

After finding out such a big matter, Mrs. Wang didn't lose a single hair. Wang Xifeng naturally refused to accept it. How much can this servant girl sell?How much can you save by saving money?Want to scrape together 12 taels of silver in a short time?Daydreaming.

Wang Xifeng made up her mind to make Mrs. Wang bleed. She and Jia Lian have no money anyway. Selling maids to save various expenses can only make up a few thousand taels at a time, which is far from 12. Wang Xifeng looks for Jia Mu every day and asks what to do.

Mother Jia was urged by Wang Xifeng, and finally couldn't take it anymore. The money was not enough, and she couldn't really watch the Rongguo Mansion perish. There was no other way. , Let her spit out the silver she swallowed.

Mrs. Wang has been locked up all the time, but she was forced to bleed when she finally came out. These days...

Mrs. Wang was forced to take out 10 taels of silver, and Jia Mu took out the remaining 2 taels of silver, so the silver owed to the treasury was finally repaid. Looking at the whole box of silver, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion felt very sad. Mixed flavors.
