Chapter 24: One family is happy and the other is sad
In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xiaomu didn’t say a word for a long time after hearing the secret guard’s report.
"Your Majesty!"
Looking at the sky outside, Eunuch Liu finally said: "The money of the Jia family is about to be delivered. If it is available..."
"Debt It's only right to pay back the money."
The emperor waved his hand to the secret guard and signaled to retreat, "Okay, give Jia Rong some more royal medicine, and the rest...that's it!"
"...Yes!"
Eunuch Liu was a little confused.
The Jia family is still very influential in the army. It was not easy to get together. Why did the emperor let it go?
"Slave, go now."
The emperor watched him retreat, thought for a while, and finally stood up, "Show me in Kunning Palace!"
With more than 200,000 taels of extra silver, he finally had a little more money and could talk to the queen. The good news made her feel at ease.
The majestic palace looked extraordinarily golden in the setting sun. Jia Zhen, who expressed some inexplicable hope, couldn't help but look back before getting on her horse.
Unfortunately, there really is no chamberlain anymore.
He sighed softly in his heart, got on his horse, and the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, followed by several carriages, heading straight for their home.
In Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning is waiting for their father and son to come back.
"Mother!"
"Grandma~"
Unlike the forced smile of a good old boy, Jia Rong's smile is clean and beautiful, "The emperor gave me three boxes White Jade Ointment. ”
White Jade Ointment is a famous secret medicine in the palace. It not only has the effect of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, detoxifying and reducing swelling, but it is also said that no matter what kind of injury, it will not leave any scars.
There are many people out there who spend a lot of money to buy it, but they can't get it.
Jia Rong held it out immediately, "Grandma, my injury is not serious, I will give it all to you!"
"Give it all to me?"
Shen Ning smiled, "You gave it to me, aren't you afraid that your father will be jealous?"
Huh?
Father and son looked at each other, Jia Rong hurriedly moved a box out, "Father, I will give you a box."
Jia Zhen: "..."
Mood So complicated.
His son has a filial piety, but he really doesn't treat him much.
“Be good!”
He has been busy for a long time, so it is natural that he should be respected by his son.
Jia Zhen took it and said, "Mother, my son went to Xifu to deal with all the slaves who should be dealt with. You should have a rest early. I will see you when my son comes again tomorrow."
"What's the rush?"
Shen Ning motioned for him to sit down, "The Lai family's property hasn't been distributed yet. Whether it's your Uncle Pardon or Uncle Zheng, they must be impatient with those servants."
"...That's true."
His family doesn't have these worries.
Although he already knew that he would not get any of the property stolen from Lai Sheng's family, the person who benefited was either his mother, his wife, or his own son.
Jia Zhen only felt a little bit sad, and quickly shook it off, "Then son will go tomorrow, and I can support Uncle Shen by the way."
"Uh!"
Shen Ning nodded, "How do you feel about dealing with the Lai family today?"
how?
Jia Zhen lowered her head, "My son, I am ashamed! I let others steal it without even knowing it."
"Then how do you feel about returning the treasury silver?"
This ?
Not only Jia Zhen was stunned, but also Jia Rong.
Minuo and Kuyin, are they related at all?
"For the royal family, there is actually not much difference between ministers and slaves."
Shen Ning sighed, "The Lai family steals, as long as it is not too excessive, remembering the ancestors We can all raise our hands when thinking about the love of companionship, but if he goes too far, he will naturally pull it out
Similarly, the same is true for the Jia family and the royal family. br>The Supreme Emperor is still there, and the love is still there. As long as the Jia family doesn't go too far, everything will be fine
But as the emperor and his ministers had no money in the treasury, the Ning and Rong mansions owed more than 200,000 taels and refused to repay... From now on, just let it go. If something happens, the whole family will probably be punished. "
Jia Zhen: "..."
His heartbeat is slowly speeding up.
Nowadays, the Jia family and the emperor have no affection at all.
< br>"So don't think that Brother Rong's white jade ointment is worthless. "
Shen Ning took a box of white jade ointment from the table and said, "If you give me three boxes in a row, at least the Ning Mansion is with the emperor, it's half done. "Grandma...grandma, it's four boxes." "
Jia Rong's eyes were bright, and he reached out and took out a box in his purse, "Knowing that I was paying back the money, an internal minister came here specially at that time. Look, someone sent me a box of white jade ointment, but my grandson didn’t take it out because he had used some. ”
“Well done! "
Shen Ning smiled, "Keep it well. ”
At the same time, Jia She, who had paid off his debt, immediately asked for Lai's account books. The successor called Jia Zheng and went straight to Jia's mother's room.
Everyone knew that he was going to cause trouble, but no one dared to say a word. Everyone stayed away as far as possible.
"Old lady, the second brother and sister took away the money without permission. Should she make up for this money separately?"
"What to make up for?"
Jia Mu has already I learned from my second daughter-in-law where the eight thousand taels were used.
In fact, she could guess it without her having to say, "That money was used for Yuanchun. She is having a hard time in the palace. What's wrong? You don't want to see her?"
She looked at it The eldest son, who was obsessed with money and looked reluctant, was angry in his heart, "You just went to pay back the money. Do you want a word from the palace?" She wanted to see what was in his mind, "Old lady, I'll tell you. , Not only will you not get well, you will also make life more difficult for your niece."
"Woooo~"
Mrs. Wang, who has been here all the time, covered her face and cried bitterly.
“Did I let her enter the palace?”
Jia She cast a sidelong glance at Mrs. Wang, "Mother, let's work out a relationship and let niece Yuanchun come back!"
"How presumptuous!"
Jia Mu was furious, "You are an elm-headed person. Didn’t I tell you the benefits of Yuanchun’s entry into the palace?” "
Some people in the palace treat their Jia family as a wealthy family.
Good luck to Yuanchun. As an uncle, he can also benefit a little bit, but the ones who benefit the most are his second brother and his family!
What's more, I don't know whether she will be fine or not.
Jia She said: "The family has no money now. Do we have to lend it to her everywhere in the future? Then we can't survive?"
"You, you, you, you Are you going to make me mad?”
Doesn’t Mother Jia know that her eldest granddaughter’s expenses are too high?
But if you have already invested to this extent, how can you let it go halfway?
She believed that her eldest granddaughter would definitely have good fortune, "How can the family have no money? Last year, Lian'er got married and spent a little extra money. No matter how bad it is, I still have some respect for myself, don't worry, short I can't live a good life for you."
"...If the mother says this, the son has nothing to say."
Jia She knows that his mother's private treasury is rich, no matter how rich it is. It was not his turn, "But the second younger brother and sister spent so much all at once without even being informed. My son is really afraid that one day, she will completely empty out the house, and I will be like a stupid roe deer who doesn't know anything." "
"What do you think?"
"Everything you copied belongs to me."
What?
Jia Zheng, who had been silent all this time, became angry.
Let’s not talk about the house, but the properties, shops, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which together cost more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention, there are more than 1,000 taels of gold.
“Old lady, I’m not dead yet, are you going to break up with me?”
Mother Jia's eyes also had a fierce look, "Jia She, do you want to be unfilial?"
Parents are here, so there is no need to separate the family.
Isn’t he looking forward to the separation of the family so much because he is looking forward to her early death?
"My son dare not!"
Jia She knelt down on the spot, "You said you wanted your second brother to live closer. You said Rongxi Hall was the best. You asked your son to move to the east. In the small courtyard near the stables, your son has already listened to you. Your son is acting like this. Is it possible that you still say that your son is unfilial? Do you want your son to die?"
He scratched his neck and looked equally red. The old mother with circles under her eyes said, "Your son was also born to you in ten months of pregnancy. Your private life is close to your own. The son does not ask for anything. The son only asks for what the family didn't know. Isn't it okay to steal the little bit from the Lai family?"
< br>Is that a point?
Jia Zheng looked distressed and said, "Brother, my mother is old, and you are forcing me so much..."
"Shut up!"
Jia She's eyes turned red. , "Did I talk to you?" He took two steps on his knees, "Mother, my son's yard is really small. Can you take pity on my son?"
Jia Mu: "..."
She looked at the eldest son with gray hair and hesitated for a moment.
Because of this son, she gained a firm foothold in the Jia family.
But the Lai family’s accumulation over generations is no worse than her private house. The one over there is for the eldest son, and the one on her side...
“Old lady, listen, is Baoyu here? Crying outside?"
Mrs. Wang suddenly shouted, "Baoyu, Baoyu, come in quickly."
"...Okay, get up!"
Jia Mu replied. After coming to his senses, his mind was clear, and he quickly shouted, "The gold and all the farms and shops copied today will be handed over to the public, and the rest... will be yours."
