It is said that Jia Yu posted the amount of arrears in the second room at the door of the account room and deducted all the expenses of the second room, and Jia's mother was angry and anxious. It's just that she understands this time, and Dafang is really going to tear her face this time. Because he thought about it, he first sent the mandarin duck to Ping'er to find out the news.

When the mandarin duck arrived at Jia Lian's courtyard, she saw that Sister Feng was talking to a few housekeepers, and Ping'er was standing beside her, so she quietly beckoned. Ping'er and Wang Xifeng glanced at each other and walked out. Because he led the mandarin duck to a secluded place and said, "You are a person who understands, and I will not go around in circles." Our master and second master all love money like life. It's just on the side, where is the money word that has to be discussed by half a point? I'm afraid it's not enough to do it. ”

Mandarin Duck said: "It's just that now where can the second wife get so much, she just returned 800,000 yuan of silver to the treasury a year ago." In addition, many of the big men have made a real calculation. For example, since you have calculated the money from the sale of Zhuangzi's shop, how can you still count the profits from the pawn? ”

Ping'er glanced at her tactfully, and the mandarin duck's heart couldn't help but move. But I heard her say, "Why don't you even understand this?" There's not much reason to talk about here, it's just that the old man is unhappy, and he can't be calm if he doesn't let the second wife come up with that idea. Borrowing money also has an interest, right? The second master is a face-saving man, and he doesn't dare to go to court. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you go to court, you can only avoid some overcalculations, and these are not much. The second room still has to be repaid not to mention the silver, and by the way, he threw all his face to the whole capital, but I am afraid that the second master will be difficult to see people in the court in the future. ”

The mandarin duck couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother, do you really want to be a brother?" ”

Ping'er chuckled and said, "As long as the second wife pays back the money, there is no need for the brothers to break the wall." Don't say she doesn't, she won't take it. So many profitable properties in the house were sold to her for only three or four tenths of the price, so black-hearted. I'm afraid that her private property is no less than that of the old lady. Besides, there is still her sister-in-law living in Rikawon. ”

The mandarin duck thought for a while and said, "Those who can't get any money for a while, so they have to give the second wife some time to raise money, right?" ”

Ping'er said again: "Another method." She calculated all the original prices of the public property that she had sought that day, and just thought that she had changed the place to keep accounts. ”

Mandarin Duck asked: "What about the output of the past few years?" ”

Ping'er looked at her with a smile: "What do you say?" ”

The mandarin duck suddenly felt that he was a little silly when he asked, lowered his head and laughed at himself, and asked, "That thing at the door of the tent, maybe take it down first?" ”

Ping'er smiled coldly: "Even if the old lady tears it up, Guan Baoming'er can paste two sheets, and if she tears it again, she can stick it to the gate." Tear this face horizontally and vertically, don't ask for it. ”

That's not negotiable. The mandarin duck thanked her and went back to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia sighed when she heard this: "That's it, she did it herself." If you don't be greedy for ink so much, you won't make the boss anxious. "Because let the mandarin duck pass these words to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's eyes darkened when she heard this. But now she can't make up so much cash for a while, and she is reluctant to have so many good industries. I had to go to find Aunt Xue again, and pleading with a handful of snot and tears. Aunt Xue saw that she was losing day by day, and lent her so much silver a year ago, but she didn't dare to borrow it again for a while, but now she has a difficult livelihood and no money to spare. Mrs. Wang had to send Baoyu to hunt for treasures every day.

Baoyu really has nowhere else to go now, but she is very willing.

Two days later, Jia's mother invited the two brothers of the Shi family and told them what Jia Yu had done. The Shi brothers laughed and even said "interesting". Jia Mu was anxious, wiped her tears and said, "Where is there such a thing for brothers? You two tell him to go. ”

Shi Nai smirked, "Say what he does?" There is no reason in the world not to pay back the money, he has the money to repay the treasury silver, and he should also have the money to pay off the public account. ”

Shi Ding also said: "Enhou's method is really tight, in the past, I only thought that Zhou was thin-skinned, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." ”

Jia Mu was speechless. The Shi family owes no less treasury silver than the Jia family, I heard that the former sage in the court specially praised the Rongguo Mansion for its honesty and trustworthiness and sharing worries for the country, and this matter is an excerpt in Jia's politics. Because he said: "Zheng'er returned the treasury silver for a reason." Because he whispered, "The eldest girl of our family is still in the palace." ”

Not wanting her two brothers to be unmoved when they heard this, Shi Nai rolled his eyes and said: "I only care about closing my eyes to find the benefits of my own family, and I don't care about my old relatives, even if his daughter is a mother, we can't get a lot of light when I think about it." ”

Shi Ding said again: "Auntie doesn't have to say good things for him, since he has done this, we can't still look like it hasn't happened." Do you know that people from the household department come to the door every day to disturb you? I haven't been so bored in years. ”

Jia's mother still wanted to persuade her, but when she saw the two of them laughing and talking about going to Jia Yu to chat about antique fans later, she couldn't help but sigh, hoping that the palace would come out as soon as possible. Coming out of Jia's mother, the two brothers really went to Jia Yu's garden to sit for a long time. Mother Jia frowned more and more when she heard the report.

Jia Cong saw that more than ten days had passed, the monthly money had been deducted once, and there was no movement in the second room, so he could bear it; Just add a handful of firewood.

On this day, Baoyu got out of school and went to Li Kun's yard to find the sisters to play, passing by the West Flower Wall, only to vaguely see two girls standing there, busy talking.

As soon as I arrived, I heard one say: "The second master and the second wife really bear it, after so many days, I don't want half of my face." ”

Another said: "I heard that I haven't even given Bao Erye's monthly money." ”

The one in front of him: "What is the second master Bao afraid of, the old lady gave him the private money." It's pitiful for the three girls, who don't have much money in the first place, and now they can only drink the northwest wind. ”

Baoyu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened to the old lady? ”

The two girls were startled, and when they turned around, they saw that it was him who hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Please don't say it to the second master, the old lady said it, who dares to sue the second master to be killed immediately." ”

Baoyu waved his hand again and again: "I will not say it, you sue me, what happened?" ”

The two girls looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, Baoyu was anxious, and arched her hand: "I begged the two sisters, why can't you sue me?" What happened to the three girls? ”

The one in front of him boldly said: "A year ago, the account room checked the accounts, and found out that the second wife was greedy for hundreds of thousands of silver in the public account when she was in charge of the house in her early years, and now the eldest man forced her to repay the money, and posted the amount at the door of the account room, and deducted it from the expenses of the second room." Now the monthly money of everyone in the second room, starting from the second master and the second wife, connecting the three girls and the third master, and down to the maids and boys, all have been deducted to repay the debts. The second master's monthly money was given to you by the old lady from her own monthly money. ”

Baoyu was immediately stunned, and stood there like a clay carved wood sculpture. The two girls hurriedly disappeared as if they were gone.

After a while, Baoyu sobered up a little, ran to the tent, and sure enough, he saw a big white paper and black letters posted at the door, and he didn't feel red-faced. Everyone in the tent room was shocked when they saw him: "Who has told the second master of Sù Bao more?" ”

Bao Yuzhen didn't even care about covering his face, turned around and ran.

Because he didn't come back after the time to go back to the house on weekdays, and he was not at Li Kun's place, he was looking for him everywhere, and he was seen sitting under a plum tree with his head and his knees in his arms, demented, and he was so frightened that he asked and shook.

Baoyu suddenly stood up. The attacker asked him what was wrong, and Baoyu went straight to Mrs. Wang without saying a word.

Mrs. Wang was so worried that her eyebrows and eyes were crowded together, but when she saw him hurriedly beckoning her side, she smiled and said, "My son, come quickly!" ”

Baoyu knelt down on her knees in front of her, and wept and said, "If my wife is in trouble under her hands, I still have some valuable gold and jade utensils there, which can be taken out and exchanged for some silver coins." No matter how bad it is, this broken stone is probably worth two silver. ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned: "Baoyu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Baoyu said: "I passed by the tent room today and saw it. ”

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and couldn't help hugging him and crying: "Your uncle is so ruthless, this is to force our mothers to death!" ”

Baoyu also cried: "It is natural to repay the debt, ask the wife to pay it back." ”

Mrs. Wang hugged him and cried vigorously, venting the many sorrows of these days, and the mother and son suddenly burst into tears. For a long time, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, rubbed him and said, "My son, if it has nothing to do with you, you can play." So he sent him back to the house and went to find Aunt Xue by himself.

Baoyu went back and hurriedly asked people to pack up a lot of valuable things, and ordered the attackers to send them to the second wife's room. The attacker guessed that he knew, and persuaded: "There is an old lady, who has nothing to do with the second master." Besides, where will these wives take it? ”

Baoyu laughed miserably: "Sure enough, you all know." ”

The attacker hurriedly said: "The ancestor is also for the good of the second master, I'm afraid you know that you have studied by mistake." ”

Baoyu mocked: "What's the use of studying, you can't worry about the family." "Lying on the kang because of depression. The attackers and others had to coax him with the words he liked, and he couldn't listen to them.

When Baoyu returned to Jia's mother for dinner, he was shocked when he saw that his crying eyes were like peaches, and asked what happened. Baoyu only said that he would accompany his wife to shed tears for a while.

Jia Mu understood that he knew, and was furious, and ordered someone to find out who had sued Sù Baoyu. Baoyu didn't say it herself, how could she find out? Besides, those two girls are not from Rongguofu, they are Xiaoxi, the sister of Yi'er's sister An Niang and Wu You's sister.

Helplessly, Mother Jia sent the mandarin duck over to Mrs. Wang and said: "Now that even Baoyu knows, if it is publicized, I am afraid it will damage the major events in the palace." He gave her a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets. Mrs. Wang is very grateful.

Because she really couldn't make up the money for a while, Mrs. Wang had to follow the meaning of the big house and fold back the public middle school property that had been sold to her name at a low price in the past years at the original price; He also took Yuan Chun to Japan to seal the noble concubine Bao Bao Hai in the palace, and if this matter did not work, Bao Chai was set to Baoyu to make offset, and borrowed 100,000 taels from Aunt Xue, and made up the amount to be repaid. The interest calculated later was finally lost by her.

Jia Yu immediately ordered people to enter the public account, and ordered to send the monthly money of the second room to the next room quickly, and transfer people from Gong San and Qin Keqing, the mansion in the south of the city, to take over the various properties. Now that he is covering the sky with one hand on things outside, Mrs. Wang is out of reach, Jia Zheng is not popular, and Jia's mother is strictly hidden, but nothing has gone wrong in peace and stability.

He also instructed Jia Zheng to raise the money of Qingke and let him pay it himself. Jia Zheng naturally refused to agree, and immediately came to find him a theory. Jia Yu said lazily: "If the money you raise the Qingke is from the public account, it will be done, but the money for the dart bureau and the horse dealer where I raise the old soldiers also needs to come from here." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What if there is a profit? ”

Jia Yu said: "Naturally, it is also counted in the public school." ”

Jia Zheng understood that he was afraid that these two transactions would be money-loss, so he went back to discuss with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, if the money of these Qingke was not from the public account, it would naturally be from the second room. Where can these children be produced in the second room now? He said: "The horse shop is a small business that doesn't make much money, and the big master's dart game is only new, I'm afraid it will take a few days to become a climate." Even if there is no income now, there will be no income sooner or later? The old man is here. ”

Jia Zheng really responded.

Jia Yu ordered all his expenses outside to report to the public account.

Sister Feng couldn't help but have a headache, and complained to Jia Lian: "It's easy for the second wife to return those silver money properties back, I thought that the public middle school would be more relaxed, and the master came to do this again." Now it's tighter than before, and I don't know where the monthly money will come from next month. ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about these two businesses outside the master first." Next month's business, next month's own way. ”

Sister Feng glanced at him a few times: "What is hiding from me?" ”

Jia Lian went to the kang and said lazily: "My good second grandmother! Don't worry, the majestic days are still to come. ”

Sister Feng sighed: "That's it, I've been chanting Buddha after this year, so I don't care about him." "And so it didn't matter.

This matter spread out after a short time, and the sage couldn't stop laughing when he heard this: "This Jia Yu is actually a stunned young man!" Now they are afraid that the two rooms will not be able to meet together. Seeing Situ Pan's thoughtful face again, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Situ Pan said: "Can we follow suit?" It is also posted in front of the court hall or in the lobby of the house. ”

The saint waved his hand again and again: "How can this be reasonable, that Jia Enhou is a bad person, he has never had rules and does not care about decency. ”

Situ Pan smiled bitterly: "It's decent again." Third brother, sometimes the face can only be the same as the inside......" Seeing that he was unmoved, he had to sigh secretly in his belly.
