Jia Yu coughed twice first, leaned back on the chair and didn't speak after all, Baoyu sat under Jia's mother, looking at his nose and nose, and his heart without saying a word.

Jia Zhen looked at it as a no-brainer, frowned and said: "Second brother, you give a word about this matter, have you borrowed this money, if you borrow it, even if our family sells houses and land, we have to pay it back." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Lian, Jia Lian knew that this matter could not be pushed over, so he stood up and replied: "Old lady, it is true that I borrowed silver, and the silver ticket was brought back from Jiangnan, and I gave it to my wife, including Miss Lin's 50,000 taels of pocket expenses, but Mrs. ---- has not entered the official treasury of this money, begging the old lady to ask his wife, my grandson really doesn't know." ”

"What do you two say?" Jia Mu asked.

Jia Yu coughed twice again, and finally said: "Mother, please forgive me, if this is the silver that went into the official treasury, let alone one million, even if it is ten million, let's not say that it is selling houses and land, even if it is selling children and daughters, we have to pay it back." ”

"This is the right word," Jia Mu was very helpful when she heard this, and nodded.

Jia Yu looked at Jia Zhen and said: "However, now that this million taels of silver, I have already checked the official Zhang, and I have never entered the official treasury at all, where did the silver go?" But the parties have to make it clear that now the repayment of the money is a small matter, and the whereabouts of the silver are a big matter. ^^^^”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod, Jia Zhen looked at Baoyu and asked, "Baoyu, this matter is said to have been handed over to your mother, I don't know if you know a thing or two?" ”

Baoyu shook his head, if Lin Daiyu hadn't talked about it today, he really didn't know that the Lin family had such a large sum of silver in Jiafu.

In fact, my mother didn't have to be angry about these little things. In fact, this matter is easy to handle, since what Miss Lin said is true, there is indeed such a thing, now as long as you ask your brother and daughter-in-law, has this silver been spent, if not, it will be spent. To Miss Lin is. If it is spent, I can't say, it's not that I'm stingy---- but I have to ask. Where did such a huge amount go? Jia Yu said.

"The money for gardening is really official?" Jia Mu asked again.

"Of course," Jia Zhen stood up and replied, "Old lady, since the garden was demolished from our side of the mansion at that time, and the land along with this side was ready-made, it was originally a matter of our mansion. There are also flower tree rockeries, which are limited. The total cost was 895,000 taels, plus some furnishings in the later period, including the Jiangnan purchase of girls, a total of more than 1 million was spent, of which the Jiangnan Zhen family still owed us some silver money at that time, and it was also spent at that time, although these old ladies had no experience. ^^^^But you should know it all. ”

Jia Mu nodded, these accounts had been turned out just now, and they were clear. It really can't be that the Lin family's land money was used. In this way, it is even more strange, where did Jia Lian go when he borrowed such a huge amount of silver from the Lin family?

"Old lady" Jia Lian stood up again and said: "When I was in Jiangnan and didn't come back yet, I received a letter from my insider's house, saying that I wanted to borrow a sum of money from Aunt Lin---- which was what Mrs. meant. That's probably it. The eldest lady of our family has been named a mother and wants to go home to save her relatives. The family's expenses are difficult now......" Speaking of this, he looked at Baoyu, but saw that Baoyu still looked still. I was amazed.

"You mean to say that my mother asked you to borrow silver just to repair the garden?" Baoyu stood up and asked.

"Yes," Jia Lian nodded.

"Repairing the garden should be something that is prepared outside, why do you let my younger siblings worry about it?" Jia Yu sneered.

Baoyu ignored his sarcasm and thought for a while, "However, in recent years, my mother doesn't seem to have any need for a large amount of expenses, right?" "This is the crux of the matter, if you know where Mrs. Wang spends her money, she doesn't have to worry so much.

"Actually, it's very easy to do," Jia Lian suddenly laughed.

"What?" Baoyu asked puzzled.

Jia Lian looked at Jia's mother, and saw that Jia's mother's office closed her eyes, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, and bowed her head and said nothing.

"You say ----," Jia Mu opened her eyes and said.

"When Old Aunt Lin died, I was waiting by my side. When it came to borrowing this silver, Aunt Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, borrowing money is a trivial matter, but I am such a daughter, and now that I have closed my eyes, I don't know what will happen in the future? Originally, I wanted to leave a sum of money for her, so that even if she got married, she would not be bullied, so it was okay to borrow silver, but she had to handle the little girl's marriage...... Aunt Lin asked me to repair it and tell my wife that she wanted to give Miss Lin to Baoyu, and soon, Zhao'er came back with a letter, saying that my wife was approved...... Aunt Lin was already too sick at that time, but she still found Lord Feng, the prefect of Yangzhou at that time, and made a marriage and an IOU. Jia Lian said this and looked at Baoyu again.

"What did you say?" Baoyu and Jia Mu stood up at the same time and asked in surprise.

"Baoyu...... Have a marriage contract with Lin Yatou? Jia Mu was so angry that she trembled, pointed at Jia Lian and said, "You...... You ......"

Baoyu was busy supporting Jia's mother, beating her back and rubbing her chest, while helping her to sit down, after a while, Jia's mother could be regarded as taking a breath of relief, pointing at Jia Lian and saying, "Chain, you ...... Come to me."

"Yes" Jia Lian hurriedly took two steps forward, and unexpectedly, Jia Mu held the cane next to him and hit him hard, scolding in his mouth: "I'll beat you to death this fool......

Jia Yu, Jia Zhen, and Baoyu were busy stopping and persuading, and Jia Lian was already so frightened that he hid aside.

Jia Mu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "This is the evil created by that world, how can you say this?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Jia Mu asked in a trembling voice: "Lian'er, if you have anything to say today, you can say it together." ”

"Ask the ancestors for forgiveness" Jia Lian was busy kneeling down, no matter how confused he was, now he also knew that the matter was big, so he was busy kowtowing and said, "Only the wife knows everything, when Aunt Lin went at that time, he once said to me---- The one million taels of silver is considered to be a dowry for Miss Lin, but after Miss Lin marries, she has to give the silver to Miss Lin, as for what she uses it for, that's another matter." Aunt Lin is naturally afraid that her girl will be wronged in our family...... That's why I made this statement, at that time, the marriage and IOU were all made by the prefect of Yangzhou, Lord Feng, well, it is now Lord Feng of Dali Temple. ”
