Chapter 15, Section 10 Joining forces

Two million taels of silver!

Jia Mu gasped when she heard this.

Jia Mu has always known that Mrs. Wang is a greedy and bold person, but Jia Mu has never wanted to be Mrs. Wang so bold.

"What do you say? The second one, you say it again! Do you know how much silver the imperial court pays for a year's tea tax? But three million! Do you know how much the imperial court pays for salt every year? ”

Speaking of salt tax, Jia's mother couldn't help but think of her daughter Jia Min.

Mother Jia knew very well that when Lin Ruhai was appointed as the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, if the salt tax could not come up, then Lin Ruhai's family would have to explain to this position, but if the salt tax was to be raised, even if it was the same as the predecessor, it would have to pay a lot of price. His own daughter is the price of this.

Although Jia Min's death is a coincidence, Jia's mother firmly believes that her daughter is healthy, not to mention that she is pregnant with a child, even if she is about to give birth, there is no problem with following Lin Ruhai to the south. Jia's mother thought that something would happen to her daughter, and it was because someone wanted to warn Lin Ruhai that she used her daughter as a pawn.

This thought has been lingering in Jia's mother's heart for several years, and it has been lingering. Jia Mu has never told others, but she has always pressed it in her heart.

Now, Mrs. Wang is on the muzzle of the gun, how can Jia Mu not hate?!

Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother was very angry, and was worried that something would happen to Jia's mother, so he crawled to Jia's mother's side, hugged Jia's mother's knee and said, "Old lady, please stop your anger!" This stupid woman doesn't deserve to make you angry. He doesn't deserve it. ”

It took a while for Jia Mu to calm down and said, "The second one's family." I won't say anything more. You can pay back this money for me! You are not afraid of dragging down your children, but I am also afraid that my son will be burdened by you! ”

Jia Zheng heard this. couldn't help glaring at Mrs. Wang fiercely.

Since he was banned that year, Jia Zheng has been bent on returning to officialdom. In his imagination, his daughter is the imperial concubine, and after the canonization ceremony, he should be gracious to his mother's family, and his position is not to rise, but to move. But it's been so long. From the Lantern Festival to the present, April 23, there is no grace. Jia Zheng was also muttering in his heart. Now I listen to what Jia Mu said. Jia Zheng couldn't help it.

"Say, what have you done with all this silver?"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "I put the money in print." ”

Jia Mu patted the table and said, "Okay, you Wang!" What was your crime in the old years. Have you forgotten about it? ”

Jia Zheng also said: "Okay." What a good tutor for the Wang family! Am I missing your food or your clothes? You're trying to force me to death! ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but reply: "Not lacking? Why is there no shortage of them? You don't look inside the treasure house! You're not a big brother, you have such a capable daughter! Throw out tens of millions of taels of silver, and don't blink an eye! If I have such a powerful and capable daughter, I don't have to worry about anything. Arms crossed and pretended to be compassionate! ”

Jia Zheng said: "You still have the face to say!" If the second girl was my daughter, she would have been killed by you a long time ago! ”

Jia Mu listened more and more disagreeably above, and immediately shouted: "Enough! Looking at her son who is not angry, and then looking at this bad daughter-in-law, Mother Jia also felt tired and panicked: "Wang." I don't care how much money you borrow, or where you spend it. In a word. You can pay it back before next month! Today is the twenty-three, and there are still seven days to go, which is enough. I don't care if you're yourself, it's okay to let the Xue family do it for you. In short, I won't come out with a copper plate. If you don't go back before this, I'd rather give all my private room to the second girl! ”

I have to say that Jia Mu's move really pinched Mrs. Wang's weakness.

Mrs. Wang loves money, so she is naturally concerned about Jia's mother's dowry. Before, Jia Yu said in public that she didn't want Jia's mother's dowry, so Mrs. Wang had already regarded Jia's mother's things as her own. Now, Jia Mu said that she wanted to give her things to Jia Jiu, how could Mrs. Wang sit still?

Mrs. Wang stiffened her face and said, "But didn't the eldest brother say it before......"

Jia Mu said: "The boss is the boss, and the second girl is the second girl." I feel sorry for my granddaughter, can't I? ”

When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu was really angry, she was shocked, lowered her head, and did not dare to speak.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang like this, she was full of discomfort, she felt that she was really blind at the beginning, how could she think that this Wang family was a good one, and she worked hard to hire her youngest son back. Now that I know that he is such a thing, it is too late to regret it.

Mother Jia waved her hand and asked Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to retreat, and then instructed Brother Parrot: "Brother Parrot, you send someone to take a look, if the second girl is going back, let him come to me first." ”

Brother Parrot hurriedly responded, and said, "What did the old lady say?" The second girl is going back, and she will come to say goodbye to the old lady first. ”

Jia Mu said: "No. I'm so confused by the second family's that I've forgotten about this. ”

Brother Parrot said: "I want the maid to say that it was the old lady who was merciful, so Second Master Bao and the girls were so comfortable." But the second girl is different from others in the end. In these things, it is the most courteous. ”

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Not really." Baoyu is still young, but with such parents, I don't know what will happen in the future. The eldest is also old, and if Baoyu has something to do in the future, Lian'er is afraid that she will not help, so she can only count on this cousin. ”

Brother Parrot said: "Then, does the old lady really want to give the second girl a private room?" ”

Jia Mu said: "Even if I have a heart, I'm afraid that the second girl will not be rare." Although the second daughter-in-law is not doing everything properly, his words are good, the second girl is powerful and capable, is he the one who will lack this kind of money? Even if he was short of money, there were people waiting in line to give him money. It's a pity that Baoyu is naΓ―ve, I gave him these things, but I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it. If it is handed over to his parents, he is afraid of causing trouble. Alas~, it's difficult. ”

Brother Parrot said: "Look at what the old lady said, if the old lady is just worried about Bao Erye, wouldn't it be enough to refer to the past?" While taking care of Bao Erye. Wouldn't it be two to take care of these things at the same time? ”

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going to recommend yourself?" ”

Brother Parrot smiled: "Look at what the old lady said." Which nameplate is the slave? In the future, if you can be a housekeeper's daughter-in-law, thank God. The maid means the mandarin duck sister. ”

Jia Mu said: "Mandarin ducks? ”

Brother Parrot said, "Yes." If you are careful and proper, who in the old lady's house can compare to Sister Mandarin Duck? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was stunned and did not speak to the flying curtain. When Brother Parrot saw Mother Jia thinking, he didn't say anything, but just waited carefully on the side.

Don't talk about Jia's mother's affairs here, just talk about the garden. When Mrs. Li heard that Mother Jia asked him to move into the garden, her face was very unsightly, and she sat down for a while. He felt chills on his body and sweat on his face, but his two daughters were startled.

Li Kun hurriedly asked the two cousins to send their aunt back to rest, and said, "This Xiaoxiang Pavilion is remote. There is also a lot of bamboo. Even though the weather is hot, the humidity in this bamboo forest is still very heavy. My aunt looks like this, I'm afraid that the wind is blowing, and I have a cold. The two younger sisters sent their aunt back first. Boil a bowl of thick ginger soup, cover the quilt, and rest for a bowl. If it doesn't work, ask a doctor to make it. Today, I asked the two younger sisters to guard the aunt and wait for the aunt. And then come back also to make. ”

Sister Li Wen and Li Qi were worried when they heard their cousin say this. Thank you repeatedly.

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, the house of the two sisters of the Li family is not far from here, so let the aunt of the Li family rest in this garden, why go out?" I also want the two sisters of the Li family to go out with them. Houses are being built outside, and it's also messy. The two younger sisters went out, which made people feel uneasy. ”

When Tanchun heard this, he also said in a loud voice: "Exactly." Sister-in-law, the flowers and trees in this garden are over, and they are also clean, which is suitable for the Li family's aunt to recuperate. If you move it out, the wind on the road is not small, and if it is messy, it will make people feel uneasy. ”

Xue Baochai saw that Li Kun was a little moved, and hurriedly said, "I know." The eldest sister-in-law will hesitate, she must be afraid that Lan'er will be sick. If you want me to say, it's simple, too. I remember that behind the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, across the bridge is Zilingzhou. There are many houses in a single courtyard, and the mother-in-law on night duty and the girl who sprinkles and sweeps are ready-made. Even if it is cleaned up now, things are limited. The aunt of the Li family is going to move in, so it is better to clean up this place, and then let the two sisters of the Li family also move in, wouldn't it be more appropriate than letting the aunt of the Li family go outside to raise or let the two sisters of the Li family continue to squeeze with the eldest sister-in-law? ”

The most important thing in Li Kun's life is Jia Lan. Xue Baochai said this, and he naturally had no problem.

When Li Wen and Li Qi heard about it, they also hurriedly thanked Xue Baochai, and asked the girl to go back to get the cloak.

finally settled the mother and daughter of the Li family, and it was already in the second half of the day. Jia Baoyu was still pestering the Li sisters to ask questions, but Shi Xiangyun was so hungry that his stomach growled.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu kept turning around, he looked at Zilingzhou, pulled Jia Baoyu hatefully, and said, "Brother Ai, aren't you hungry?" ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said, "Sister Yun doesn't say that I really don't think so." It's just that my mouth is faint, and I don't want to eat anything, but I am greedy for the soup of small lotus leaves and small lotus pods that I ate when I was in my mother's province last time. ”

Xue Baochai also laughed: "What else should I do." It turned out to be this. That's not unusual, it's just that the lotus leaves, edges, and lotus pods are pulled out with a mold, and they rely on that pot of good soup. Since Brother Bao wants to eat this, I will send someone to do it. With that, Xue Baochai asked Ying'er to go to the teahouse to find the soup mold.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Xue Baochai, who was full of spring breeze, and was stunned for a while, and said: "Sister Bao is becoming more and more magnificent now, and she looks like a grandmother." ”

Xue Baochai said so much, it turned out that he wanted to arouse the interest of Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing and others, but he didn't expect that Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing and a few people reacted mediocrely, but Shi Xiangyun, who had no face and no skin, actually said such a thing.

This is stricter than scolding him for being old and thinking about men.

Xue Baochai said: "Look at what Sister Yun said." It turned out that Lan'er couldn't leave her sister-in-law, and my aunt saw that I was still making a lot of effort, so I entrusted these things to me, where can I call it magnificent? I'm happy to be lazy. Yes, I remember that the two marquis of the Shi family have been out for two years. Sister Yun is not in a hurry, when the two Hou Ye come back, Mrs. Baoling Hou and Mrs. Zhongjing Hou will definitely not forget their sister, and they will definitely find a family with all four corners for their sister. At that time, I could only envy my sister's style. ”

Xue Baochai is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. His youth is destined to be let down, so in many things, he can let go.

Moreover, Li Kun had already followed his two cousins to stay in Zilingzhou to take care of the widowed aunt, and in addition to Jia Baoyu, those present were only Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing, Xichun, Xing Xiuyan, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, and Tanchun. There is only one elder left, Aunt Xue.

Xue Baochai knew very well that although he had offended Jia Jiu, Jia Jiu's evaluation of Shi Xiangyun was even lower, and Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qingxichun and Xing Xiuyan were never mutually beneficial. Xue Baochai didn't think that Jia Jiu and the others would stand on Shi Xiangyun's side. Especially today, Jia Jiu has helped himself several times openly and secretly, but he didn't see the other party helping Shi Xiangyun.

As for the girls who live in the Grand View Garden now, Jia Baoyu is a person who doesn't care about anything, Xue Baoqin is his cousin, and Tanchun is a concubine, so he doesn't dare to offend Mrs. Wang at all, and naturally he won't favor Shi Xiangyun to give him no face.

Therefore, Shi Xiangyun is more isolated than him Xue Baochai.

Hearing Xue Baochai say this about Shi Xiangyun, Jia Jiu said, "Sister Bao, Sister Yun is still young." Besides, the girl's family is really not good to talk about this kind of thing. ”

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Exactly." I'm used to beating at home, but I forgot about it. Sister Yun, it's my sister who is offended, please forgive me. ”

As he spoke, he saluted Shi Xiangyun, with a dignified atmosphere.

Shi Xiangyun looked left and right, and saw that no one was looking at him, even Aunt Xue was standing far away, pretending to care about Xue Baoqin, and couldn't help but redden: "Second sister, you also bully me!" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Yun, why didn't I help you?" ”

Xue Baochai also said: "Look at what Sister Yun said, the second sister Fang Cai helped you count me down." How did the second sister not help you? ”

Shi Xiangyun heard this, and cried with a wow: "I know, you just bullied me as a motherless child!" ”

Jia Baoyu saw Shi Xiangyun crying, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and Aunt Xue was not in a daze behind, so she hurriedly came up to play the round, and sent Xue Baochai to prepare the meal. When Xue Baochai left, he also glanced at Shi Xiangyun, took a look at Jia Jiu again, smiled at Jia Jiu, and left. (To be continued......)
