Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Lin Zhixiao only asked about the family plan, and only said that the family life was difficult and it was no longer sustainable. "Currently there are only [-] taels of silver left in the silver inventory, and the next month's various expenditures are only large, and it will be nearly [-] taels. There is an income of silver, but it will not be received until June, and in the middle two months, including some miscellaneous expenses, it is at least [-] silver short."

　　Of course, the Rong Mansion is not so poor yet, but Lin Zhixiao deliberately said it seriously, so as to convince the masters, "Old lady, master, ladies, the population in our mansion is too heavy, why don't we make those efforts If the old family doesn’t need it, let them go out. One is that they have their own business, and the other is that the family also saves some rations and monthly money every year, and there are too many girls in it. There is no precedent to say, and everyone must be aggrieved. If you should make eight, you will make six, and if you should make four, you will make two. If the girls are older, they should match the man. If the rooms are counted , you can save a lot of money per month."

　　Jia Zhen nodded and smiled at Lin Zhixiao, it is rare to have a good housekeeper!Next to Baochai and Daiyu, they thought for a while, and they were a little puzzled. Could this Lin Zhixiao belong to the eldest brother?

　　But when the old ladies over there heard what he said, it was like a bolt from the blue. Has the Rongguo Mansion reached this point?

　　Jia Zhen didn't forget to add a fire, "As far as I know, in order to build this garden, the old ladies, the ladies and the eldest sister all took out all their dowry. The brand is valuable, but the inside is actually clean. Old lady, this is what I want to tell you today. This is not me looking for a place for my family Qingwen, deliberately embarrassing the old lady and wife, I really can't bear to look at the Rongguo Mansion. It's ruined in the hands of people like Li Ma. Long pain is worse than short pain. The ancients said that cutting out the flesh to cure sores is at the right time!" He said it with sincerity and sincerity. .

　　Now even the old lady is stunned, the Rongguo Mansion is already an empty shell, how can she believe it?

　　Jia She originally looked like the old god was there, and everything had nothing to do with him, but when he heard that the mansion had fallen like this, he was shocked, and he scolded indiscriminately: "The family affairs, the old lady has already left it to the second child. I've never asked the family to take care of it, and now it's like this! If you want to keep it like this, just go to the street tomorrow and beg for food! "

　　Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to say: "If you can't manage it yourself, leave it to someone else to take care of it as soon as possible. Hold it in your hands, is it all right now? Everyone should drink the northwest wind."

　　Madam Wang was annoyed, remorseful, and resentful when she heard it, so she had to ask the old lady to apologize: "The daughter-in-law has not been well in the past two years, and the family affairs have gradually been handed over to Brother Lian and his wife. Who would have expected it to be In this way, the daughter-in-law is also very anxious." Tears came down as she spoke, and she was about to kneel in front of the old lady.

　　The old lady asked Yuanyang to help Mrs. Wang, and sighed, "I've grown old these years. Thinking that you are all capable, I just enjoy happiness and don't care about the others. Sigh!"

　　Sister Feng hurriedly knelt on the side, and the responsibility fell firmly on her head!

　　"Old lady, master and ladies, the family is in a bit of a deficit now, but this is only after the construction of the Grand View Garden. First, the garden is repaired, and then it is to save relatives. Which one is not a huge amount of money? I have tried my best for this, Only then did I support the past." Saying that, she cried aggrieved.

　　Then Mrs. Xing said uncompromisingly: "You don't even understand the principle of living within your means? It's a loss for you to learn other people's housekeepers?"

　　Sister Feng cried: "I also want to live within my means, but which expenditures and where they will be paid are always determined by outsiders, and I can't control them at all."

　　Mrs. Xing had to teach her a lesson, but the old lady stopped her: "Feng girl is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice. Good boy, I don't blame you!"

　　Just now, Sister Feng broke into a smile and took a few steps on her knees, still holding the old lady's leg.The old lady stroked her neck comfortably.

　　Jia Zheng hurriedly circled the room with his hands behind his back.

　　Seeing that they were all out of proportion, Jia Zhen couldn't help turning her head and laughing.

　　Unexpectedly, it happened to be clearly seen by Baochai Daiyu in the Bisha closet.

　　Daiyu whispered, "I knew my brother was holding back a bad idea!"

　　Baochai echoed: "When did the big brother suffer? Look, there are still good dramas to watch!"

　　Jia Zheng finally stopped and asked Jia Zhen, "Brother Zhen, what do you think?"

　　Jia Zhen's face was serious, "Uncle, what Butler Lin said, every sentence is a good word! It's long overdue to send more than half of the people out, and it's better to leave only a quarter."

　　"What?" The old lady was surprised and objected: "No, I did as you said. Our Rongguo Mansion has no face and rules! How to make the honorable and precious people who come and go look up to it?"

　　Jia Zhen persuaded: "But the face is not enough to eat! Anyway, it's only a year or two of hardships, when the time comes, it's more comfortable, and it's just a little bit of recovery. The poor officials in Shenjing are not bad for our family."

　　The old lady's face was getting more and more serious.

　　Jia Zhen continued: "There are fewer people, everyone performs their own duties, and naturally there will be less trouble, the old lady and the wife are peaceful, and the eldest sister's housekeeper doesn't have to work so hard, so there is nothing bad! "

　　Jia Zheng is a sloppy person and has no opinion. Hearing what Jia Zhen said, he felt that everything was in order and everything was good, so he was busy asking the old lady for advice.

　　Jia She thought about it over and over again, but there was no better way, so he had to keep silent.

　　The old lady was silent, even the mandarin ducks looked at her. Her words decided the fate of most people in Rongguo Mansion.

　　"No!" The old lady weighed it again and again, but still refused: "We'd rather be frugal on our own than let outsiders see jokes!"

　　Jia Zhengwei: "Even if we are frugal, I'm afraid it won't be enough to maintain!"

　　The old lady glanced at Jia Zhen unexpectedly, and said, "I still have a few thousand silver left here, you can take it for emergencies, if there is any less...you can find a solution yourself!"

　　Madam Wang saw what the old lady meant, but she didn't speak.Ask Jia Zhen to borrow money, can't afford to lose that person!

　　The old lady can't help it, can't let her borrow it?

　　Jia Zheng never thought of borrowing money, let alone borrowing money from Jia Zhen!He said to the old lady, "Mother, your body is so little left, and your son can no longer ask for your money to fill the family." He looked at Madam Wang.Madam Wang was even more annoyed, and said bluntly, "Master, I still have to prepare my body for Baoyu to marry a daughter-in-law, so I can't move it."

　　So, the scene cooled down.No one can come up with an idea.

　　"Alas!" Jia Zheng and Jia She's brothers couldn't do anything, but they didn't hug each other and wept bitterly.

　　At this time, Sister Feng came up and said to Jia Zhen, "Big brother, you will definitely help us, right? Just borrow us [-] to [-] taels!"

　　Jia Zhen still refused, and Mrs. Xing suddenly said: "If you borrow so much, what will you give him back? I'm afraid that in the future, you won't be able to pay for it. Maybe you will take this house as a mortgage!"

　　When everyone hears it, isn't that the truth?

　　Only Sister Feng smiled in her heart: "It's only [-] to [-] yuan, and she still needs to pay? It's enough to stay with him for three or five nights." Of course, Sister Feng couldn't say such shameless words.

　　There is no other way, unless Jia Zhen can generously support them for free, but obviously Jia Zhen is not that kind of person!

　　Jia Zhen estimated that it was almost there, and suddenly said: "Old lady, I have an immature idea, I don't know if I can say it?"

　　The old lady was moved, but why did she face down?As if not heard.

　　Madam Wang made up her mind not to speak.

　　Only Sister Feng urged: "My eyebrows are on fire now, what else can I say? Big brother, can you stop talking?"

　　Jia Zhen looked at the old lady, and the old lady nodded reluctantly.

　　Then Jia Zhen said: "Since the old lady and the wife don't believe me, let's change the way, let me pay the Rongguo Mansion monthly according to the income of the Rongguo Mansion in a normal year, and the Rongguo Mansion will give me the source of income. Management, until the income and expenditure of the Rongguo government is balanced, I have also recovered my money, just clear the two, let's supervise each other, how?"

　　Then Mrs. Xing immediately objected: "You still said that there is no evil intention? What is the source of income? It must be handed over to you all the fields, real estate and shops?"

　　"It's a temporary escrow!" Jia Zhen must explain clearly: "All property rights, land deeds, house deeds, etc., are all untouched, they are all yours, and you don't need your mortgage. In terms of nature, it is equivalent to yours. Assign me to be a general manager, and don't care about the rest, you only know how much money you receive each month, and if you lose any month, it's all mine."

　　Jia Zheng thought about it, the land deed has not been transferred, so it is not a conspiracy!He asked Jia She's opinion, Jia She and couldn't say why, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't suffer!

　　The old lady couldn't raise any objections, so she asked Lin Zhixiao, "How much money does our house earn each month?"

　　Lin Zhixiao thought for a while before saying, "The miscellaneous income of the farm and rent tax shops in our house is divided into spring and autumn. Last year's total received [-] taels, which is slightly less than the [-] taels of the previous two years. The monthly count is four thousand two hundred... no, about four thousand five hundred taels."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will pay Rongguo Fu [-] taels per month."

　　But Sister Feng said, "Why is Big Brother so stingy? Why don't you make up a whole number, five thousand taels! We don't need to worry about the rest."

　　Jia Zhenwei: "Big sister, I have to lose a few hundred taels every month, and you have to add more. After a year, I will lose [-] taels of silver. No, no, I can't do it!"

　　Sister Feng looked at the old lady, the old lady nodded slightly, she smiled and said: "It's settled, five thousand taels, big brother, you earn so much money every year, and there is no place to put it, why don't we give it to you? Drop a little."

　　Jia Zhen was silent, just embarrassed. "Old lady, it stands to reason that I shouldn't object, but if this is the case, the Rongguo Mansion will still be overstaffed. No matter how much I am willing to give each month, it will still not work in the future. I just ask the old lady to approve, how many people in the manor According to Butler Lin's method, we can cut some cuts and strengthen management, and this is the omen of ZTE!"

　　Jia Zheng also agreed: "It's time to cut, Zhen'er said it! We can't let him suffer too much, but it's just a year or two, when our government recovers, we won't have to trouble Zhener."

　　The old lady thought about it again and again, but she couldn't see any evil intentions hidden, but it became a lot of losses.Is it really wronging him?

　　The old lady hesitated for a while, but nodded, "I will only dismiss the unworthy, and give me enough money, so I can't let them say that Jia Fu has deducted it."

　　Jia Zheng now has a good impression of Jia Zhen, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and smiled, "I'll leave this cut to you!"

　　Jia She was surprised: "How can we hand over our own affairs to him?"

　　Madam Wang also said: "Master, it's better to leave it to Lian'er!"

　　Who knew that Jia Zheng just shook his head, "Lian'er lives outside all the time, why has she ever cared about her home? Right now, only Zhener can be trusted. If you don't call him, who will it be?"

　　Makes sense!It made them all speechless!

　　There are only a few men in the Rong Mansion, Jia Zheng and Jia She will not care, Jia Lian will be out, Jia Baoyu will be fine, not to mention Jia Huan and Jialan!

　　The old lady hesitated several times, just like Jia Zheng said, if you don't give it to Jia Zhen, who else can you give it to?

　　But Jia Zhen still had a reluctant expression on her face, "Uncle, let's leave this to Brother Lian? Look, I'm usually busy..."

　　Jia Zheng was displeased and said: "Only you have no interest in this side, and you can be ruthless, and others have nothing to say. Otherwise, no matter who you hand it over, there will always be trouble. It doesn't take up too much time for you to let Lian's daughter-in-law. Help! Don't push yourself away!"

　　Baochai next door was surprised to find that Jia Zhen's operation was the same as that of the Xue family's cooperation?She quietly told Daiyu.Daiyu was also worried that Jia Zhen would suffer a loss, and thanked him for being a good person with tears in her eyes!

　　"Bah! I know that my brother doesn't want to suffer."

　　After a while, Jia Zhen was worried, shook her head and sighed.He quietly smiled at Lin Zhixiao.Lin Zhixiao hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that others would see it, and left in a hurry.

　　Baochai and Daiyu followed behind Jia Zhen, who signaled them not to speak.

　　After passing the back hall and entering the hall, Daiyu asked: "Brother, tell me, how much money can you earn from here every month? Don't lie to me! Sister Bao has already told me that their Xue family is harmonious. That's how you work together."

　　Jia Zhen took the two of them into the adjacent wing, and let Ying'er Zijuan guard outside.

　　Daiyu said angrily, "Tell me now!"

　　Jia Zhen said quietly: "No matter what, you have to double the profit, so your brother will do it!"

　　"Ah! So many?" The two girls shouted in unison.

　　Jia Zhen hurriedly covered their mouths with her hands, "My little ancestors, little treasures, don't make any public noises, okay?"

　　"Who is your little ancestor?"

　　"Who is your baby?"

　　Both of them blushed at the same time, shy.

　　Daiyu said angrily, "How can you make so much money? It's too dark!"

　　Baochai also said, "Yes!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't my brother pay you one hundred taels per month to keep your mouth shut?"

　　"Bah!" Daiyu said shyly, "I don't want your money!"

　　Jia Zhen asked strangely, "Then what do you want?"

　　"I want..." Daiyu gave him a sideways look, "I won't tell you, I'll talk about it when I think about it!"

　　Jia Zhen nodded, "That's ok, as long as I have it, just take it! That treasure... What do you want, Sister Chai?"

　　Baochai smiled and said: "I don't want it either! I just want to say that the big brother is really a good trick. If you don't quarrel, the entire Rongguo Mansion will belong to you!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "You're wrong, it's a win-win situation! Look, Rongguo Mansion won't go bankrupt, right? I'm only allowed to make a profit at a loss, and I'm not allowed to take the opportunity to make a small fortune?"

　　Baochai said: "I mean, you are now the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and you can lay off whoever you want!"

　　Jia Zhen said proudly: "That's right, who told them to hit my Qingwen? There is always some interest! I'm the most stubborn, if anyone bullies me, I won't necessarily take revenge, maybe Endure it for a while and pass. But if anyone bullies my woman..." He looked at Daiyu and Baochai, "And my sister, that's the one who has moved my iniquity scale, even if he is the king of heaven, I will You have to come back with revenge! You are all my heart, and it is too late for me to hurt."

　　Daiyu said angrily, "Who wants to listen to you? You're shameless, talk to your heart!"

　　Baochai just pursed his lips and smiled, and there was tenderness in his eyes.

　　Jia Zhen grabbed their hands with a smile, and said, "Let's go out? After staying for a long time, they still don't know what we are doing!"

　　"Pooh!"

　　"Pooh!"
