It is the spring weather, the wind and the sun are beautiful in Jinling City, and the Rongguo Mansion is unusually lively, nearly twenty or thirty carriages carrying goods are parked outside the street gate, and the servants in the house are constantly moving things out, so that most of the Jinling City is a sensation, and the people have come to see the excitement, and some people are interested in inquiring, whether his girl has been canonized as the queen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, a few years ago, the girl of the Jia family was canonized as the Imperial Concubine of Xiande, and when she went home to save her relatives, she moved things to the house, how could she move them out this time?"

The person who bought the medicine in his shop also forgot that there were still patients at home, so he came to see the strangeness, and asked mysteriously: "Shopkeeper, don't you raid your house in this situation, right? I heard that not long ago, the Ningguo Mansion next door was in the East Mansion of their house, and it was seized......

"You don't understand this, do you? The seizure of the princes and nobles is to ask the officials to bring the Imperial Forest Army, where will the people from the trading house come? You see, isn't that the carriage the big proprietor of the 'Xiyangjing' trading house? There are also two brothers in clothes, the big proprietor and the third proprietor of the 'Xinlong' merchant firm, I guess they borrowed the merchant's silver money to play a show, and now there is no silver to pay back, so they use the kind to pay off the debt. ”

The woman who interjected had high cheekbones and a big mouth, and her face was full of expressions of hatred for the rich, and she pointed to the Grand View Garden and pouted: "Look at that garden, it is several miles in radius, and it takes four or five hundred thousand silver to build it." ”

"I also said that I don't understand, didn't you see a few shopkeepers over there paying silver bills to the Jia family's account office? The feeling is that there are too many things rewarded by the emperor that they can't fit at home, so they resell them to these trading houses. ”

Qing'er took the carriage back to her home early in the morning, and just heard their discussion, so she said lightly: "Do you know that Mobei is fighting? ”

"So that's the case, in the end, it's the people of the imperial concubine's family, and the consciousness is higher than ordinary people......" The woman's mouth was full of praise, but the expression on her face was clearly a little disappointing.

Seeing that the two carriages were full, the shopkeeper of the trading house reported to his owner and the second master of Jiafulian: "There are 120 pieces of makeup pythons, carved silk and ink, and various silk curtains, and the actual payment is 2,800 taels of silver. ”

After a while, several more carriages were filled, and another shopkeeper reported loudly: "Xinlong Commercial Bank, 200 orangutan felt curtains, 100 Xiangfei bamboo curtains, 100 golden rattan red lacquer bamboo curtains, 200 ink lacquer bamboo curtains, 200 colorful thread winding curtains, and 3,000 taels of silver." ”

Immediately afterwards, someone reported: "The chair cover, the table circumference, the bed skirt, and the pestle cover, each of which is 1,200 pieces, and the actual payment is 4,000 taels of silver." ”

"Western-style firm: 40 horses of all kinds of dorona, 5,000 taels of silver, 230 horses of various colors of Western cloth, 200 dozen handkerchiefs of Western cloth, 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"Xinlong Commercial Bank: 200 Hangzhou silk, 200 Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery brocade, 200 brocade ......"

Then the gold and silver were soft again, and the foreign clothes alone made everyone smash their tongues.

Look at the lively where to know, these things are bought at the price of meat, and when they are sold, they can be greatly discounted, this is still the king of Beijing in the back for them to accommodate, the merchant is not good to bargain ruthlessly, otherwise, the price of tofu is not as good as you.

Immediately afterwards, a variety of foreign gadgets appeared, such as foreign clocks, foreign medicines, foreign silver tableware, foreign wine jugs, foreign glasses, and foreign toys.

Finally, there are antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, glazed kang screens, Suzhou embroidered kang screens, precious spices and supplements, all kinds of exquisite porcelain and gold and silver utensils, the whole inventory and transportation for two days, before enough 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Lian Erye accompanied Jia Zheng to the household department, and Lord Shangshu personally collected the silver tickets, and the delivery was clear.

When I returned to the house, I first went to Jia's mother's house and knelt down, kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "It's all sons who can't make it, so that the old lady is frightened, she can't honor her mother, but she has donated her body for many years, and her son deserves death!"

"Tell me, is it the people that matter, or the things that matter?" Jia Mu asked quietly.

"Naturally, people are important, we are fortunate to have the father and son of King Beijing in our house to help speak, but it is a discount of some silver, and the son's heart is much more relaxed, but it is Brother Zhen and his father and son in the East Mansion, and they have to do it early to find a way to save their lives. ”

Mrs. Wang interjected on the side: "How can you fix it? Now that his house has been sealed, where can we find some silver to fix for him? Besides, it is not something that tens of thousands of silver can wipe out." ”

"Get up, if only you understood it. Jia's mother was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's disrespect, and even talked a lot when her mother-in-law admonished her son, directly ignoring Mrs. Wang's existence, and continued to say to Jia Zheng: "By the grace of the saint, our family is safe, and it is enough to restrain the children to be angry and strong, the old lady is also self-made, after the family has ten thousand, the children and grandchildren have no ancestral spirit of hardship, do not try to be motivated, just blindly enjoy, how can it be done in the long run!"

"The mother's lesson is that the son is unofficial and light, and he can serve his mother at any time in the future, and the son is very comforted, and he also has time to teach his son and nephew to strive for self-improvement. ”

"Hmm. Mother Jia pondered for a long time, and then said: "Brother Zhen'er's affairs can't be solved by money, and he doesn't have more money in his house than us? Brother Zhen is bold and generous on weekdays, and he spends a lot of money up and down. ”

"Yes, Mother. Jia Zheng got up from the ground, stood behind Jia's mother, and helped her pinch her shoulders and beat her back.

"I have already asked Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law and Grandma Xiaorong to be taken to Lixiang Courtyard for placement, although the courtyard is a little smaller, it is neat and clean, when Aunt Xue's house lived before, it was all newly cleaned up, and they will not be wronged. ”

Jia Zheng responded: "Mother arranged it very well. ”

Jia Mu added: "It stands to reason that there are empty courtyards in the Grand View Garden, but they bear the name of the family members of the guilty ministers, and it is not good to be too public, and the advantage of the courtyard is that it is a gateway by itself, and it is easy to avoid suspicion to the outside world." ”

Jia Mu turned her face and said to Mrs. Wang: "Tell the three girls, the monthly rules over there are the same as those in the house here, let them be sent over in time, and no arrears will be allowed to be owed to her, and the big kitchen will prepare his family's food and drink according to the rules." ”

The daughter-in-law obeyed. Mrs. Wang replied expressionlessly.

"You go and tell Brother Zhen'er, with a bite from our side, you won't be hungry for his family, let him take care of himself. ”

Hearing this, Jia Zheng's nose couldn't help but be sour, he hurriedly held back his tears, and nodded: "Yes, mother." ”

"Mandarin duck, did I send all the things I ordered?" Jia Mu asked again.

The mandarin duck was crooked beside Jia's mother, beating her legs, and when she heard the question, she hurriedly replied: "The old lady's clothes when she was young were dotted with a total of twenty boxes, which were packed separately according to the season, and six boxes were sent to them yesterday. ”

"She didn't ask you about the silver?" Jia Mu asked, picking up the teacup.

"Old lady, this tea is cold, I'll let people change the heat. Glass, on the old gentleman's eyebrows. The mandarin duck was quick-eyed, grabbed the tea bowl and frowned and complained: "The old lady dares to make the mandarin duck anxious, even if she is on fire in her heart, she can't drink herbal tea." ”

"Hahaha, you girl, I don't have freedom anymore. Jia Mu smiled.

The glass quickly brought the freshly brewed tea, served it to Jia's mother and the old lady respectively, and explained with a smile: "The slaves and maids are afraid that the old lady will talk to the old lady, so they dare not disturb, for fear that the old lady will not remember where to say for a while, and will come to blame us again." ”

"This little hoof, I don't serve the old body well, and I learned it from the little hooves of the mandarin duck when I hit a rake. ”

"The old lady has wronged me, and I have been subjugated by them. The mandarin duck smiled and joked, and then continued the previous words and reported to Jia's mother: "Back to the old lady, I didn't wait for the eldest grandmother to ask, so I comforted her and said that the old lady also prepared two thousand taels of silver for them, but she couldn't give it to her now, and when she stabilized, I would help them make plans." ”

When Jia Zheng heard Mandarin Duck say this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, first he was worried that his mother couldn't stand such a huge blow, but he knew that her mentality was so peaceful, but she was more calm than them, and handled everything she should think of.

Mrs. Wang also secretly admired that the old lady did not give the You family the silver, obviously because she was afraid that she would use it to dredge up the relationship, not to mention that it was ruined in vain, if she gave people a handle and said that she still had silver to bribe, wouldn't it be self-defeating.

"Old lady, Xue Mansion sent 20,000 taels of silver, saying that it was prepared by Master Xue before his death, Baochai and Baoqin two girls each had 20,000 taels of silver, and they were ready to use the dowry when they got married. ”

Mother Jia originally didn't like Xue Baochai to be too sophisticated, at a young age, the city was quite deep, and she was afraid that ten Baoyu would not be enough for her to calculate, and when she saw her doing this, when she encountered a disaster in Jiafu, not only did she dislike Baoyu, but also took the initiative to share the difficulties, and even donated the dowry silver, she couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Baochai, this girl can share hardships, but Hao'er's little family is now sick like that, how dare I accept her kindness, your sister Min'er has such a little bit of blood left, if Daiyu has three longs and two shorts, a hundred years later, how can I have the face to see her mother......"

Jia Mu was not calm when she spoke, her voice choked, and two lines of tears flowed down her old face...... (To be continued.) )
