It's nearly dusk.

Just when Jia Zheng was still discussing with everyone in the military department, Jia Zheng finally returned to Rongxi Hall after finishing his errand, he sat at the dinner table and took the fast child handed over by Jin Chu'er.

While counting the piles of gifts, Mrs. Wang said: "Today I met Mrs. Nanyang Bo in the Mansion of the Emperor of the Kingdom, and I heard her say that there was some accident in the matter of Nanyang Bo's feudal marquis, and somehow, the news of Nanyang Bo's massacre of herdsmen was known by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and more than a dozen copies of bullets were impeached in a row, and the cabinet has already written to the Ministry of War to investigate the matter."

Jia Zheng put aside his speed: "How many times have I told you, you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, especially the affairs of the military, you just don't listen."

Mrs. Wang: "I don't dare not listen to my master's words. It's just that Nanyang Bofu and the Jia family are old relatives, and people open this mouth in front of the orders of various prefectures, and I can't directly dismiss it. Besides, they didn't make excessive requests, but asked our family to help inquire about the attitude of the military department on this matter, and they should be prepared. If the master thinks it's not appropriate, I'll refuse it tomorrow."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng sighed, "There are many people impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the military department can take care of everything, it is estimated that it is just a formality, after all, Nanyang Bo has indeed made great contributions."

"The master still asks, it's just a matter of one sentence, don't go wrong, when the time comes, it will not only lose the face of the Jia family, but also the prestige of the palace lady."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng frowned slightly, "Okay, I know." As he spoke, he picked up the fast child and began to eat.

Mrs. Wang finished counting the gifts, "This is a gift from Jinling, and my aunt gave us a New Year's gift for the second room."

Jia Zheng: "It's not November yet, why is it so early?"

"It's only a few days early."

Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something, "I heard a news at the banquet today, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent someone to Yangzhou to check the accounts and check the accounts of the two Huaiyan Road, you said, could this be for my aunt?"

Jia Zheng was stunned.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was stunned, Mrs. Wang thought that she had been right, and then said: "I heard that some people reported the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the Yandao Yamen connived at salt merchants to smuggle official salt, causing the imperial court to lose five or six million taels of tax and silver every year..... I said, why is the Lin family so rich, this is a New Year's gift to Beijing.....

"What nonsense!"

Jia Zheng came back to his senses, "The fourth hereditary lord of the Lin family is the Gusu family, a famous family, and the family background is also right, besides, I believe in the character of Ruhai!"

"When I came back, I saw more than a dozen large carts driving into Xifu, and there were big boxes on them."

Mrs. Wang said in a low voice, "I have never heard of the old man giving a New Year's gift to his son-in-law, it must be that the Lin family's property was transferred to Xifu."

Jia Zheng's hand paused, "If you are such a daughter as a girl like Lin, the family property must be left to her, don't guess." Talking about eating by himself.

"Forget about the family property, if it's stolen money.....

"Presumptuous!"

Jia Zheng was finally enraged, and pushed the fast son, "There are national laws and family rules, if he really commits the crime of corruption, he will be punished by the court, why do you need to worry about this!"

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not afraid of affecting the lady in the palace."

"Don't make a fuss about the mother!"

Where can Jia Zheng endure it any longer, grab the tea bowl and smash it at the copper basin beside Mrs. Wang!

This time it was smashed so hard, the tea bowl smashed into the water basin, and it was still broken into several pieces through the water surface, and the tea in the tea bowl and the hot water in the copper basin splashed out together, splashing the hem of Mrs. Wang's skirt with water and tea!

Mrs. Wang was blinded, and excitement, grievance, and sadness all came to her heart inexplicably, and then said, "I'm a woman in the house, and my lord thinks I'm willing to take care of these things? I didn't do this for our second room, not for the master, not for Baoyu's future. If the master does this, what face will I have to take care of the housekeeper in the future?"

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.

Jia Zheng stood up suddenly and said loudly, "From today on, you will no longer be the housekeeper's wife, and in the future, you will worship your Buddha with peace of mind, and the mundane affairs will be taken care of by the Li family." With that, he walked briskly outside.

Mrs. Wang clutched the Buddha beads in her hand, and after a long time there, she suddenly burst out, "Tell me to go down, if anyone reveals a word about today's matter, they will be killed immediately!"

Jin Chu'er: "Got it."

...........

The mother-in-law led the way in front with a lantern, and Jia Zheng walked into Aunt Zhao's courtyard with a gloomy face.

"The master is back!"

Aunt Zhao got the news and immediately greeted her.

Jia Zheng glanced at her and walked straight into the room without saying a word.

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

Jia Zheng was sitting on the couch and was distracted.

Aunt Zhao was so shrewd, she immediately said, "Hot water."

After a while, the maid walked in with a basin of hot water.

Aunt Zhao took the copper basin and walked to Jia Zheng's side, knelt down on one leg, put down the hot water, and went to take off Jia Zheng's shoes and socks.

Jia Zheng's feet were held into the basin by Aunt Zhao, "The master has been busy for a day, he is tired, soak his feet well, you can relax." As he spoke, he lowered his head and washed his feet seriously.

Jia Zheng looked at Aunt Zhao who was washing his feet, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand, but he had never seen it, "Where did the jade bracelet come from?"

"It was given by Miss Lin."

Aunt Zhao raised her hand to show Jia Zheng, "One pair, this is one, and the other one I sent to the girl."

Jia Zheng listened, a look of relief flashed in his eyes, and he asked again, "How can I think of giving you a gift if you don't have a festival?"

Aunt Zhao lowered her head, "It's my birthday in a few days, and this is Miss Lin's birthday gift."

Speaking of this, he raised his head reluctantly, "The girl also prepared a gift for me, not bought from outside." There was a twinkle in his eyes.

Jia Zheng watched all this silently, and lowered his head silently.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family walked in, "Master, the third master has returned home, please go to the eldest master's study to discuss matters."

Jia Zheng: "Got it."

Aunt Zhao hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe his feet, and said, "I made a new pair of shoes for the master, and the master will try it."

Jia Zheng was stunned, so he had to reply, "Okay.....

Zhou Ruijia watched all this silently and sighed in his heart.

Jia Zheng put on his shoes, took two steps comfortably in front of Aunt Zhao, and then said, "Okay, okay..... Remember to remind me, your birthday." As he spoke, he walked out quickly.

Aunt Zhao raised her head and looked at Zhou Rui's house blankly.

...........

As soon as he stepped into the door, Jia Zheng was stunned.

He saw Xue Pan sitting next to Jia Yu at a glance, and Jia Yu spoke, "The second room has been very lively recently!"

Jia Zheng looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean by this, eldest brother?"

Xue Pan walked over and said in a low voice, "Uncle, the matter of receiving gifts in the second room."

Jia Zheng was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "Big brother, you know, I really can't help it, most of these people are old relatives, and some are colleagues in the ministry, all they want is to ask me to take care of their juniors when they take the Enke exam, and I made it very clear to them that I will only take care of them when they draw numbers."

Jia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Since you said so, then okay."

Jia Jue smiled, just such a simple operation can already change the fate of many movers, but he doesn't intend to say anything, no matter when, there is no so-called fairness.

Jia Zheng walked to the window and sat down, Xue Pan walked over with a bowl of tea, "You drink tea."

Jia Zheng took the tea and said with a smile, "But what did you provoke?"

Xue Pan explained again and again: "Absolutely not, I stayed at home for the past two days and didn't go out, I just had a drink with Baoyu and Second Brother Lian, and stayed honestly."

Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Jia Jue again, and asked, "What's the matter at such a late hour?" Say it."

"Your Majesty told me something."

"What's the matter?"

"Borrow money."

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Zheng was shocked, but Jia Yu and Xue Pan both looked at Jia Zheng.

"The imperial court is short of money, and the salt tax will take half a year to collect, as for the money of the city, all the money has been intercepted by the Jiangnan camp, and the Weaving Bureau owes a lot of debts, waiting for the support of the Internal Affairs Bureau, but the Internal Affairs Office is also a pile of bad debts, anyway, there is no money. No, the emperor wants to borrow money from the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce to tide over the difficulties."

Jia Yu: "How much?"

"One million taels."

「..... Not much."

Jia Jue squinted his eyes and stared at Xue Pan for a while before asking, "Your Majesty mentioned you, why don't you come out with this money?"

Jia Yu smiled, "I can't say that the emperor is happy to reward you as the head of the Internal Affairs Office or something."

Xue Pan's face turned pale, and he replied in a snort, "This..... Forget it..... The Xue family has no money."

Jia Yu then said, "You kid is not stupid, but stupid."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Why doesn't Jiangning Weaving have any money? In the first half of the year, 1 million taels were handed over for military expenses, and this is only how long!"

Jia Jue just wanted to laugh, but held back again, "Then you have to ask the Zhen family, maybe the Qianqing Palace knows better."

Jia Zheng smiled awkwardly and sighed heavily.

Jia Yu waved his hand, "Okay, this is not something we can manage, let's talk about borrowing money."

Jia Jue: "You can't borrow this money, if you borrow it, you're inviting disaster for yourself. We're going to have to make a risky move!"

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were in a daze, and at the same time focused their eyes on Jia Yu's face.

Xue Pan swallowed his saliva and looked at Jia Jue fixedly.

Jia Jue eased his demeanor again, and said in a low voice: "I heard a news from other places, the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to form a fleet to go to sea to trade, and Your Majesty has acquiesced in this matter, so I told Your Majesty about the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce's shareholding, 1.5 million taels of silver, accounting for half of the shares."

Jia Zheng: "Oh?"

Jia Yu: "What is Your Majesty's attitude?"

"Your Majesty said to think about it."

Jia Jue sighed, in fact, on the way back, he also thought of a way, that is, a book that he read in Dianniang, and opened a bank in partnership with the royal family, but unfortunately the idea is very good, but the reality is very cruel, the emperor is ruthless, if this is done, he will definitely kill himself as soon as possible, he can't do it, or he has to wait, maybe one day he can cover the sky with one hand in Daming, tsk, it depends on whether Yuan Chun's stomach fights or not.

Xue Pan: "My second uncle once followed the fleet to the West Sea, over there, and even further west, Daming's goods are very popular, and the profits are very high, but unfortunately the imperial court is too strict."

Jia Zheng: "Yes. It's up to you to decide what to do, so you don't have to discuss it with us."

「.....」

Xue Pan opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Jia Zheng suddenly remembered something and hesitated for a moment, "I heard that more than a dozen big carts have entered your side, and they are all big wooden boxes!"

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced at Xue Pan, "What's wrong?"

Jia Zheng: "This ..... I heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is checking the old accounts of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and the Lin family sent such things at this time.....

"Wait a minute!"

Jia Jue interrupted Jia Zheng's words and asked, "Who said those big cars belonged to the Lin family?"

Jia Zheng: "Not the Lin family?"

Xue Pan's face turned red, "This..... Yes, it was the Xue family, and the second uncle took a batch of immortals from the Chamber of Commerce, saying that he was going to sell them to the West Sea, but he went to sea and met the warship of the Fujian Navy..... Fortunately, people are fine, no, they will use some calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry to pay off their debts."

Jia Jue: "Jewels? Why didn't I see it!"

"Yes. Except for half a box is..."

"Half a box?!"

"Yes. A dozen carts of books, plus two volumes of unknown old paintings."

Jia Zheng: "Second Master Xue?" Then he looked at Xue Pan, glanced at Jia Jue again, and asked, "Isn't the second room of the Xue family still occupying half of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, why is it so down.... Embarrassed?"

Xue Pan was embarrassed and replied, "..... This, the second uncle partnered with others to do a grain business, and sold the grain purchased from the Chamber of Commerce to Henan, who would have thought that when he arrived in the place, he caught up with the arrival of the imperial court's disaster relief grain, no, he could only reduce the price and deal with it, and he lost a lot."

Jia Zheng was shocked.

Jia Yu was also shocked.

Jia Jue shook his head, although the second master of the Xue family said that he had invested in the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce, he was unwilling to be a tool man, and he responded to that sentence: The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper!

There was silence.

"Hey.... Is the second wife blowing the pillow wind in front of you again?"

"Nonsense, what pillow wind!"

Jia Zheng's eyes flashed, "I heard that Nanyang Bo was impeached by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what's going on? The affairs of his marquis will not be affected!"

"What's the matter, the second wife received a gift from Nanyang Bofu again?"

Jia Jue raised his voice, "It's not me saying that at this time, how dare you do those things that give people authority! Does the second uncle know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Jia family?"

Jia Zheng lowered his head.

Jia Jue softened his tone, "The matter was stabbed out by Nanyang Bofu himself, I won't say who it is, but it doesn't have much impact, after all, Nanyang Bo has real merits, and the cabinet may do something about rewards, but it doesn't matter."

Jia Zheng: "Alas! I should have expected that..... It's better for our family, although we wander around all day long, but we don't have this kind of evil obstacle of betraying relatives and eating inside and out."

Xue Pan: "Uncle's words are not right, now there is a ..... who eats inside and crawls outside."

At this time, Jia Jue glanced at Xue Pan.

Xue Pan swallowed his words.

Jia Zheng looked at them blankly.....
