Volume 15, Section 61 Aftermath

Before Jia Mu could come up with any countermeasures, the hair on her head fell.

Mrs. Wang is Jia Zheng's wife, and the mistakes he made are naturally counted on Jia Zheng, those deficits, although it was Mrs. Wang who did it, Jia Zheng did not know at the time, but Mrs. Wang is Jia Zheng's wife, and she has a criminal record before, so Jia Zheng still has to be fully responsible.

Although the defeat in the battle of Qianxiang has nothing to do with him, the deficit caused by him after taking office is real, as well as the deficit on the grain road of Zhili, and, most importantly, the fraud case in the imperial examination.

Although Jia Zheng is not entirely responsible for the case of fraud in the imperial examination, Jia Zheng has to bear the corresponding responsibility with his predecessor. What's more, Jia Zheng was unable to provide evidence that he had nothing to do with this case, and his reputation was ruined, so that even if Qiu Zheng was not Jia Zhengdian from the chief examiner to the teacher, and even Jia Zheng had not even touched the test papers and test questions, but in the final verdict, Jia Zheng and his predecessor were equally culpable. Rather, it was his successor, and there was nothing at all.

Jia Zheng and his predecessors were sentenced to 100 canes and 3,000 li. At the same time, Jia Zheng had to pay a fine equal to the deficit in addition to repaying him for the deficit on the grain route.

Otherwise, not only will Jia's political leaders be beheaded, but even his wife and children will be sold.

There has been a precedent of using money to atone for sins in this land since ancient times, even if the previous dynasty once banned this customary written law, but in Daqi, this law is still popular. It's just that this kind of thing like the imperial examination fraud case has always been used to set a model in Daqi, if it weren't for Jia's mother forcing Jia Jiu to bribe some people with a lot of money. I'm afraid that I can't let Banzai nod and raise his noble hand to let Jia Zheng go. It's just that Jia Zheng must repay all the shortfalls and pay the fine. to be able to make atonement. On the contrary, it was the former Xuezheng, with the light of Jia Zheng, the family paid for it, but it was over after receiving twenty boards.

After the verdict came down, Jia Mu immediately jumped up.

Raise money.

Atonement for Jia Zheng.

The deficit between Mrs. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang is too much, and in contrast, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng embezzled less than one-third of the deficit in office. Even Jia Jiu. When I heard about such a large number, I shook my head again and again.

Jia Jiu knew that Jia Mu and Li Kun had no ability so far, but they were actually waiting for their own money. It's like the stones that cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

Jia Mu secretly urged him a few times, and Jia Jiu directly told him that he had no money. Because he has already handed over all those Zhuangzi lands. What I have in my hands now is just my own monthly example. And it is impossible for him to borrow the money of the Daomen for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

After Jia Baoyu knew. also said: "Although my second sister and I are called cousins and brothers, we are not from the same sect in the end. The second sister is willing to give me money, which is the second sister's affection for us. The second sister has no money, and that is also her duty. For the sake of the lord and wife, the second sister already owes us too much favor. Where else can I hope for? ”

Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Yuanchun was dead, Jia Zheng also made a mistake, and as Jia Yuanchun's provincial villa and the Grand View Garden at the level of the royal palace, it was bound to be taken back by the top. It is not interesting for them to continue to live in the house they live in now, which is built around the Grand View Garden. There are not a few people in the family. It takes a lot of people to take care of the house. Moreover, because the house is on the outskirts of Beijing. There are also few scholars who are willing to rent their houses.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu simply found an official tooth, returned the house, and exchanged it for money to pay off the deficit for his parents.

Xia Jingui was also tough. not only took out his dowry, but even went back to his parents' house, splashed and rolled, and got back a large amount of money, plus 200,000 taels of silver sent by Jia's mother and 300,000 taels of silver supported by Jia Yu, which made up for the deficit and paid a fine.

It's just that in this way, the family has no money to atone for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and even Xia Jingui's mother was kicked out by the Xia family and had to rely on her daughter to survive.

Even Jia Baoyu and the others moved back to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion soon after and lived in Jia's mother's courtyard.

Jia's mother was helpless and had to put her hope on Li Kun.

Although Li Kun is a widow, when Jia Zhu was alive, Jia Zheng was the nominal owner of Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang was the wife of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu was the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and the specifications of his wedding were all compared with the precedent of Jia pardoning Jia Zheng back then. Although Li Shouzhong is pedantic and stubborn, the dowry gift given by the Jia family to Li Kun, except for the dowry spent for Li Kun, was brought back by Li Kun, and a lot of good things were stuffed.

It can be said that Li Kun's dowry and Jia Zhu's private property are not a small amount. Not to mention, after Jia Zhu passed away, Jia's mother felt sorry for this granddaughter-in-law, and the monthly and annual examples she won for Li Kun were superior.

No, Li Kun didn't seem to know about it, and soon after Jia Baoyu arrived at the house, he took his son and his private property back to the south to join his parents, which made Jia's mother angry. It was the old people in the backstreet who were most pitiful of the poor and weak that they didn't shake their heads when they mentioned Li Kun: "Die long." Whose daughter-in-law is so unfilial?! When Jia Lao Er (that is, Jia Zheng) and Jia Lao Er's family were in charge, how could they have wronged him? He is dressed plainly every day, but who calls him a widow? Could it be that he is a widow and dressed up like a new daughter-in-law? Now his father-in-law and mother-in-law are in trouble, and his brother and daughter-in-law have hollowed out their parents' house, and they don't see him have a son. is such a big person, and he doesn't know how to accumulate some yin virtue for his son. ”

Even Jia's mother said: "If you talk about daily actions, Zhu's daughter-in-law doesn't know how much better than Baoyu's daughter-in-law, I thought he was a good one, but now it seems that he can't even compare to Baoyu's daughter-in-law's fingers." It was a loss for him to start the official eunuch's house. ”

It was Lin Daiyu, after discussing with her younger brother, she took out a part of the Lin family's silver money at the bottom of the box and handed it to Jia's mother, which exempted Mrs. Jia Zhengwang from the crime of exile. It's just that the boss obviously dislikes Mrs. Jia Zhengwang very much, even if Jia's mother asks her to intercede and express her willingness to pay more, the boss still doesn't allow the Jia family to atone for all the sins of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

The last of the last. Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife each suffered a hundred boards, and their official positions and orders were all swept to the bottom, and they completely became ordinary people.

Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui, Tanchun, Jia Huan, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhou arrived at the house after they went out. I moved back

Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is old, and she has been beaten by a hundred boards in a solid manner, and her body and bones can't bear it, even if she is well healed and raised, she can't survive her life after all, and she went there at the end of this year.

Jia's mother was shocked and fell ill, and she actually suffered a stroke because of it. Although a good doctor was invited in time, he was old and had sequelae. He was half paralyzed and could only lie in the house.

It was at this time that Jia Rong, who had always been like a child in the eyes of everyone, was tough and insisted on disagreeing to let Mrs. Jia Zhengwang be buried in the ancestral tomb.

Jia Jing didn't tell Jia Rong anything until he died. There are still a few loyal old men on the side of the Cunning Mansion. Let's say, Jiao Da and the like. From the mouths of these old people, Jia Rong finally knew that the death of her father and the death of her grandfather were actually because she married someone who could not be married. The grandfather will die at this time, just hoping to exchange his life for a life and save his grandson with his old life.

After learning the whole story, Jia Rong knelt in front of her grandfather's spirit and cried for a night, and came out of the ancestral hall the next day, except for two eyes that were swollen like peaches. It's hard for others to see the clues from his face.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Jia Rong determined at least two things:

First. Facing his wife Qin Keqing, it is impossible for him to go back to the past. Others think that Qin Keqing may not know these things, but in Jia Rong's eyes, with Qin Keqing's intelligence, Qin Keqing will not know these things. From Qin Keqing's attitude towards his adoptive father and younger brother, Qin Zhong has been studying, and the reality that he needs to be cobbled together at home, Jia Rong is even more cold to this woman.

In Jia Rong's opinion, whether she is weak and pitiful, gentle or affectionate, she is all pretending to be this woman and showing it to the world, but in fact, this woman is terrifyingly cold.

Therefore, from this moment on, Jia Rong could only stay away from Qin Keqing. Even, Jia Rong herself felt that from now on, there would be no children between him and Qin Keqing.

Second, Jia Rong hated Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and even Jia's mother. Because he knew the whole story, because he knew that his grandfather would rather sacrifice his life and his son Jia Zhen's life to keep his grandson, Jia Rong was convinced that if his grandfather was in charge that day, his grandfather would never bet himself on marrying a woman like Qin Keqing. Therefore, in Jia Rong's opinion, at the beginning, the Rongguo Mansion could have allowed Jia Zhu to marry Qin Keqing. But in fact, Rongguofu did not do this.

In Jia Rong's view, her marriage is said to be the master's decision by her father, but in fact, if her father knew the cause and process of the incident and knew Qin Keqing's true identity, her father would not let him marry Qin Keqing. Jia Rong firmly believes that her marriage has been calculated, and the person who calculates herself, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang definitely has a part - looking at their arrangement, you can know that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang will never be willing to stop at Rongguo Mansion - I can't say that there is still Jia's mother, because as Jia's mother, who has the highest rank in the Jia family, there are some things that will not be hidden from him.

The only thing Jia Rong can be sure of is that Jia Yu has nothing to do with this matter. Because, if Jia Yu intervened in it, his grandfather would not have such a good relationship with Jia Yu, and he would also accept the children of Jia Yu's family as disciples, and even enlighten Jia Shu's children.

Because of the two lives of Jia Jing and Jia Zhen, Jia Rong refused to let Mrs. Jia Zhengwang be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Jia family, and even when facing Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui, she was gloomy and terrifyingly indifferent.

Jia Baoyu has always been weak, and Jia Rong's attitude is also very resolute, so Jia Baoyu has no choice but to come back and discuss with Xia Jingui how to pawn the old clothes of the two and how to borrow money to bury Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

Xia Jingui finally couldn't suppress his feelings, crying and scolding: "Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat." I admit that I have married you, and I have never done anything wrong, and even for the sake of my in-laws, I don't even have a mother's family. My mother is used to living a good life, but now?! Are you going to borrow money now? Q: Who borrows? And how to pay it back? Jia Baoyu, I warn you, if you dare to be sorry for me, I will definitely want you to be buried with you! ”

Jia Baoyu can only compensate her daughter-in-law, after Xia Jingui vented, her emotions stabilized a little, and she sat opposite her husband and cried.

Now the girl in their couple's house is only Xia Jingui's wedding girl Bao Chan, and she has to serve Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui and his wife, and he has to serve Xia Jingui's mother, and he is so busy every day, where is there so much time to care about the things in the bed of Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui and his wife?

At this moment, Bao Cicada is envious of Tan Yunqi who got up early and left.

When these two big girls left, the private house alone was worth seven or eight hundred taels of silver, plus the jewelry given by Xia Jingui, and now they are all landowners' wives in the countryside. On the contrary, he, Xia Jingui's personal big girl, actually has nothing left.

The treasure cicada hiding under the porch hung his head in frustration, and Jia Yu, who had been listening outside the window for a while, also sighed.

In Jia Yu's opinion, Xia Jingui is not very good-tempered, but his heart for Jia Baoyu is true, maybe he has poor upbringing, but he has also fulfilled his responsibility as a daughter-in-law. It is not easy for such a person to persist until now.

Jia Yu called Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui and his wife, and Jia Huan to the flower hall and said, "These three Zhuangzi are about the same size and value. It is all in Gyeonggi, and it is a place with mountains and rivers, and each Zhuangzi has one or two hundred acres of paddy fields. I originally thought, the second brother is just the three of you men, these three Zhuangzi happen to be one for Baoyu, Huan'er and Lan'er, since Lan'er followed his mother to the south, then, Lan'er's one was taken out and used as a sacrificial field and cemetery. Your second sister melted some of her old jewelry and got two hundred taels of gold, which she also handed over to you to use for the second brother's funeral. ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly knelt down to thank his uncle, and said: "The matter of the lord and wife, thanks to my mother-in-law's thoughtfulness, even in order to raise money, my mother-in-law was homeless. The nephew thought that the Zhuangzi that the eldest master gave me might as well be placed in the name of the lady, and it would more or less make up for the loss of some of the lady. ”

Jia Yu nodded and said, "It's okay." You are the elder brother and the son-in-law, and the matter of the tomb and the sacrificial field should have been taken care of by you. It's a pity that the three girls, hindering the filial piety of their father and mother, I am afraid that this marriage will be delayed. ”

Tanchun lowered his head and did not speak.

On that day, the government sent someone to take over the Grand View Garden, although it was not a raid, but it was almost the same. Because of the chaos, and the hurry of everything later, there was nothing left of the little private room he had accumulated in the past. These days, Tanchun lives in Jia's mother's courtyard with Shi Xiangyun, and eats, drinks and flowers in this house. Although he still has to keep filial piety, he has never been treated badly in his daily life, but after all, he has a pimple in his heart, and he is very uncomfortable looking at the people and things around him.

Tanchun is much quieter than in the past, and there is no longer the sharpness of the old days, but there is some Xue Baochai's style, which looks much quieter and more dignified.

However, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou learned about this and were very pleased. They are not young anymore, and even if they remarry, they can't marry any good people. Now that Jia Huan has land in his hands and is willing to provide for them in old age, what else is there to worry about? (To be continued......)
