Chapter 517: You Clan's Small Treasury
Wang returned to Zhijie Hall, and this anger had not subsided. As soon as I sat down, the personal maid Dongyu came to report, saying that the uncle had a letter coming.
Wang's face immediately changed, and he asked for the letter and read it, and he was even more overjoyed.
Originally from Jia Zhu since he took office, the officials checked their performance every year, and reported to the court as an evaluation of "capable and knowledgeable talents". The sage was overjoyed to read it, and recruited Jia Zhu to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.
When Wang received the letter, Jia Zhu had already left in advance, but his net worth and finances in Guangzhou were not old or young, so he had to leave Li Kun to sort out his luggage and family belongings.
Wang calculated the days, and the letter was sent back quickly, but it was not much faster than his son's footsteps. After all, it was the saint who summoned him back to Beijing, and he should not be lazy, presumably his son was also on the road day and night without stopping.
At this time, I received the letter, and estimated that my son would enter Beijing in a few days, so Wang hurriedly called Dongyu to inform the old lady, and called Dongyu and said: "Tell the third grandmother, go to Jinling to send a letter, and say that the uncle is coming back, and ask the eldest lady how soon the ancestral house can be repaired?" ”
Dongyu hurriedly ordered to go down and sent several little maids to report the news. After a while, Yinglian hurried over with Amber, and met the mandarin duck who also came at the gate of the courtyard.
Yinglian asked the Wang family when Jia Zhu would arrive, and a few people came back, so the Wang family told Jia Zhu about the situation, and Yinglian smiled: "It's no wonder that the master is so important, it's really the glory of our family!" Among the sons and gentlemen of this family, the uncle is the most promising. ”
The Wang family was quite proud when they heard this, and thought that thanks to the uncle and sister-in-law who didn't care about the gains and losses, they had already taken a fancy to Zhu'er's intelligence, and they were willing to make Zhu'er the choice of the lord, and they were very grateful in their hearts.
"This Maxima also has to have Bole, if it weren't for the uncle and your wife, how could he have the glory he has today." Wang said modestly, and said to Yinglian: "Now that Zhu'er can do this, I think your wife is also very happy, I have asked someone to send a letter, I am afraid that she will come back soon." ”
When Yinglian heard this, she immediately understood what the Wang family meant, and said with a smile: "Then there is Aunt Lao over there in Dongfu." ”
Wang looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them were self-evident.
The next day, the Wang family went to the East Mansion again, and when he came to You Shi, he showed You Shi a thing and asked her, "You still don't deal with this first?" ”
As soon as You Shi saw that it was an IOU, he hurriedly said: "Now that the family is struggling, where did you get a thousand taels?" ”
Wang frowned and said: "Anyway, you are also the grandmother of the family, so you owe money to the side branches, and you still have the face to go out?" If you can't afford to pay it back, why did you borrow it in the first place?
"That Yun'er is also a hard-working child, there is only an old mother at home to accompany her, and she has to go out to borrow money to pay off your son's debts, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed!"
You Shi cried again when he heard this, and only said: "Auntie is teaching me a lesson, but I can't do it." This is not my original intention, but the uncle saw Yun'er at the moment, and thought that he was on an errand for the eldest wife, and I am afraid that there is a lot of oil and water.
"I also advised him that the heirs of the side branches are all difficult, and no matter how poor our family is, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The uncle didn't listen, and said that my woman's opinion. also said that the eldest wife was in charge of the family's finances for a year, and she didn't know how much she was greedy.
"I don't believe it, but the uncle said that Yun'er has been over there since she was a teenager, and she has been favored by the eldest wife since she was a child, and she must have a lot of net worth, so why is it difficult to say.
"I really can't say uncle, so I'll just do it. Who knew that Yun'er went to borrow Lizi money, which was really wronged. ”
Hearing this, the Wang family was unmoved, and only said vigorously: "If I wronged you again, this money must also be filled, and it will be known by the old lady and the children of the clan, and you still have face in Dongfu?"
"When Master Yuan Jing was here, the power in the clan was in his hands, so you just messed around. But because of the matter of the immortals, Master Jing has long lost his majestic status in the clan, and you should still be the same as before, with your temperament?
"If you want me to help you take care of the house, I can't let go of such a thing. If you want to regroup in the future, first of all, this reputation has to be better first, and not paying off debts is the most fatal, don't you really understand? ”
You had no choice but to respond, took out another key, and hesitantly handed it to Wang: "This is the key to the vault, not the same as the treasury, it was opened because of an emergency." Since the aunt said that this is the most important, then ask the aunt to help settle this debt first. It's just that my aunt is looking at it, and there is not much silver here. ”
Wang took the key, didn't say anything, took Xia He to the vault first, and checked, there were a lot of antiques in it, and there were more than 5,000 taels of silver.
Wang sneered while counting, and the maid Xia He said angrily on the side: "What a grandmother, I have never seen such a calculating." The wife came to help her housekeeping, but she only gave an empty shell out, could it be that the wife filled these holes for her?
"This will make the son have so much more property in vain, where is the posture of not being able to repay the debt! is obviously relying on himself to be a lord, deliberately bullying the side branches. Fortunately, my wife is shrewd, otherwise she would have been deceived again! ”
Wang smiled faintly and said, "It's not that she deliberately concealed it, it's just that you don't know the truth." Not to mention people like us, and this big family still has a spare small treasury, which is never touched on weekdays. What is stored in it, no one dares to take it out and use it as a last resort, otherwise if there is really any natural or man-made disaster, wouldn't the family have no way to live?
"These things in Dongfu are shabby, even the merchants' homes outside may be more than theirs. These antiques look precious, but when it comes to selling, it is difficult to sell and easy to be lowered. At this time, the more gold and silver things are more effective, but it's a pity that Grandma You doesn't understand this. ”
Xia He asked curiously: "Could it be that our family also has these?" Why have you never heard my wife say it? ”
Wang smiled and poked Xia He's forehead, and said coquettishly: "It's okay, who said this?" And we are in charge of the eldest wife, such a vault should be prepared by her. She has to explain to me when she goes out, and I've seen it too, and our family is much better than this. ”
Xia He didn't dare to ask more when he heard this, but he couldn't hide his curiosity. Seeing this, Wang thought to himself, this little hoof has never seen the world, if he sees the small treasury in Xifu, I am afraid that he will not shout out.
You must know that the small treasury of Xifu is a real "gold" treasury, Xing Shuang has prepared all the gold bars, even if he really encounters a big event, the family does not worry about eating and drinking.
