Chapter 42 The Scolded Mother Jia
February was not afraid of her look at all, and said with a smile on her face: "This is the best, the slave will inform my girl of the old lady's words, and I hope the old lady will do what she says."
After all, everyone doesn't like to deal with troublesome things like this, and if there is a lot of trouble, it is easy to hurt the harmony of the Lin and Jia families. ”
When Mother Jia heard the word "harmony" that she deliberately accentuated, the chill in her eyes couldn't help but worsen a little: "Heh, it is worthy of being a girl from the Lin family, if she is really sharp-toothed, the old woman has seen it today." ”
February listened to it, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the old lady's praise, but the slave has always been clumsy, and I can't afford your praise, I'm afraid that I will live up to your old man's kindness." ”
No matter how much Ren Jia's mother could bear it, she couldn't hide her anger when she was provoked so many times, if she hadn't had a lot of scruples, she would have been unable to help but do something to the big girl of the Lin family, and how could it be the turn of these lowly maids to be so rude to her.
It's a pity that their Jia family is at a loss, and they caught the handle, even if it is not for anything else, for the sake of Yuan Chun in the palace, she has to endure the Lin family for a while.
Wait for Yuanchun's matter to be done, and see how she punishes that girl.
Although she suppressed the anger in her heart for the time being, when she spoke to Mrs. Wang, the daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but bring some out: "The second family, let them take them to the treasury to check those things, if there is no problem, register them and let them move all the things quickly, lest people always say that my Jia family is greedy for the good things of my son-in-law's family." ”
Although Mrs. Wang was not happy in her heart, but this was her mother-in-law, even if she didn't like it, she had to respond respectfully: "Yes, the daughter-in-law knows, so let Zhou Rui's family take them over." ”
Mother Jia was anxious to see her baby pimple Baoyu, and without waiting for Mrs. Wang's answer, she took people into the blue yarn cupboard, leaving Mrs. Wang, who had a bad complexion, to deal with it for twelve months.
Twelve months of joy to watch the excitement, even if Mrs. Wang was very unkind to them, they did not care much.
Mrs. Wang is not as tolerant as Mother Jia, he has calculated so much for Baoyu, and now that the Lin family has done it to Baoyu three times and twice, she can't help the anger in her heart.
Therefore, when Zhou Rui's family was sent to take them to the warehouse to inspect things, they deliberately embarrassed them.
Either the things were placed far away, or they were messy, or they were dirty, so it was very difficult for them to check and sort them out, and the subordinates who went with them all stood aside and said cool things to squeeze them.
Of course, the twelve of them were not easy to mess with, and all the subordinates who squeezed them were all swollen in the mouth by August with a wooden plank, and knocked out two front teeth.
The messy things were also easily found with ribbons in April and May, and placed in the box.
As for those objects that were soiled by the Jia family, the things given by the Jia family were disposed of on the spot, and those that were not given by the emperor were all erased and exchanged for the good things of the Jia family in the form of compensation.
After all the items were inspected, they asked the subordinates of the Lin family to come and carry the things, and personally escorted those things back to the Lin family's mansion in the capital.
There are a lot of things, and they didn't deliberately cover it up, so they quickly attracted the attention of others, and for a while, there was constant speculation in the capital.
There was a Honglin family who said: "This Lord Lin is just a salt patrol imperial history, how can there be so much family wealth, isn't it greedy and shouldn't be greedy?" ”
Someone who knows the Lin family's family background said: "The Lin family is worthy of being a big family with a lot of accumulation, look at this family's foundation, I'm afraid that their family won't be able to spend it in this life." ”
There are also people who know the situation of the two families speculated: "Didn't this Lin girl already send things home on the day she entered Beijing, and now she has carried a lot of things, I'm afraid that Jia Min didn't help her mother's family send things that shouldn't be sent, and they were found back?" ”
There are also uninformed people who praise the generosity of the Jia family: "This country's grandfather's family is forcing us to be rich and noble, look at the style of this Jia family, it is to help the son-in-law's family so generously, if anyone marries the daughter of her family, I am afraid that it will be endless to enjoy glory and wealth." ”
Jiusi didn't care too much about these speculations, and after letting people clean up the remarks of the Lin family's rich background, they stopped caring about it.
The truth that wealth is not revealed is applicable at any time, even if she doesn't need this money, she doesn't want people to target her and Lin Daiyu because of this.
After all, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, no matter how powerful she is, it is impossible to prevent other people's calculations.
However, for the sake of their own face, the Jia family was very cheeky to introduce the speculation of subsidizing the Lin family.
In this regard, Jiusi can only say one thing, if you don't do it, you won't die, and it is not unreasonable for the Jia family to be targeted by the emperor.
No matter who it is, they can't tolerate that when they are poor and want to die, their own minions are rich and flowing.
As far as she knows, the current treasury is so poor that even rats don't want to enter, and the natural disasters in winter, the spring sowing does not cost money, and the emperor must be very anxious.
She had the idea of letting Lin Ruhai exchange her family property for her life before, and it was for this reason that Lin Ruhai rejected this proposal in order to leave a way out for Daiyu.
After such a ruthless incident, both the Jia family and Daiyu quieted down.
Jia's mother no longer used Daiyu's reason to match Jia Baoyu, and from time to time sent someone to ask Daiyu to come over to ask An to speak, and Daiyu no longer tested Jiusi's attitude, and said directly, if she wanted Jia's mother, she would go to ask for An, and learn the palace rules in her courtyard if she had nothing to do.
Even when they were looking for Daiyu to play in the spring, they also came to Xuancaotang, and they didn't dare to let her go to other places in the Jia family, for fear that she would encounter Baoyu again and cause Jiusi's dissatisfaction.
Xue Baochai was looking for someone to take her into the palace, but she came to Xuancaotang more diligently, in order to inquire about some things in the palace, and to ask the grandmother who taught the rules if there were any familiar sisters, and she also wanted to invite a grandmother back to teach her the rules.
Daiyu doesn't like her style of employing people forward, not facing backwards, so she doesn't like to take care of her very much, but Jiusi admires her ability very much, so that the nurturing grandmother has taught her a lot of things.
As the heavy snow came one after another, what Jiusi was worried about still happened.
The arrival of heavy snow made the weather extremely cold, many people froze to death near the capital, many houses collapsed by the snow, some people were stoned to death, and some people escaped, but they had no place to live, and now they all gathered outside the city gate.
But the current treasury of the imperial court has no money at all, even if the emperor asks the palace to reduce expenses and opens his own private treasury to provide disaster relief, it is just a drop in the bucket.
As time went on, more and more people gathered outside the city gate, so I think they came from other towns.
These victims looked even worse than the victims near the capital, not to mention the yellow and thin faces, the clothes on their bodies were not complete, and even many of them walked barefoot.
