The road back(38)

Ji Tian will definitely not come back. These people are holding back their energy because they want one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Not giving?

Not if they really intend to inspect it.

Jia Zheng is a shameless person, how can he be treated like this?

Seeing Baoyu coming over again, Jia Zheng immediately yelled: "Incompetent idiot! What did you say when I asked you to pass the message to the old lady? What are you doing here now?"

Baoyu showed no fear and only lowered his head slightly: "The old lady has fainted. How can I bother the old lady again? If I go to copy it, I will be disturbed. What if the old lady is good or bad?" With that, he said

He raised his head, looked at Jia Zheng, then looked at Jia She, and then said: "Now there is more than just a house left in the mansion." He then looked at Jia Jing and Jia Zhen: "There is also the garden where relatives are invited. Then

The garden is built between the two mansions. It can be accessed from the west mansion and also from the east mansion. Brother Zhen knows how much the garden cost. Now the garden is discounted to brother Zhen, including one hundred thousand taels.

It makes up for the shortfall in the sacrifice field, and the extra silver makes up for the shortfall in the public school in Xifu..."

In other words, apart from the one hundred thousand taels, the rest was given to Jia She for this room alone.

In this way, it is still a way.

As soon as this idea came up, Jia Zheng was overjoyed: He felt that Baoyu's idea was to defeat the opponent's army. It was a garden built for the empress. How many of them dared to take the garden as their own? With this deterrence, even if they slow down

In the past few days, things have been slow and smooth, and there is always a way to resolve this matter.

But Wang Xifeng felt that Baoyu's idea was sinister, so she couldn't help but take another look at Baoyu. Based on her understanding of Jia She and Jia Zhen, there was nothing these two people wouldn't dare to do. Just like now, when the idea of ​​selling the garden came up,

, these two people must be tempted. The East Mansion has always been better off than the West Mansion. First of all, there are fewer masters in the East Mansion and less things to do. That is to say, Jia Zhen spends a lot of time and wine, but the energy of the time and wine is on a par with Jia She. But it can be placed in the West Mansion.

Here, Jia She's expenses are not the most. The most are the expenses that Jia Zheng spends on raising Qing guests and being elegant, which are the expenses that have to be sent to the palace every month to give to the empress. Even the old lady's food and drink are not considered as expenses.

At most. Besides, which master here in the West Mansion is not the master? Who can be neglected? When there are more masters, the expenses will naturally be large. But what about the East Mansion? How much money can Brother Rong get from his father?

The money in the house was either rewarded casually by Lian Er, or was brought from below by the gods and ghosts. Favors came in and out, but the foundation of the house remained unchanged. As for Youshi, she was nothing more than a housewife.

She is just a girl with a key. She has taken out all her body. Do you have a thousand taels? She is just a grandma. Besides, she doesn’t have much dowry money, and her life is tight. And Jia Zhen is a

He will enjoy love and romance. Now that he has such a good place to have fun and has money in his hand, how can he not be tempted? And Jia She has always had little money with him, and now he has lost Yuanzi's money.

, except for the one hundred thousand taels, all of it will be subsidized to the government, which will naturally compensate him. He is eager to sell it out.

But in this way, the originally close relationship will be gone in an instant. Jia She wants to ask for more, but Jia Zhen is unwilling to give more. These two back and forth quarrels have hurt feelings.

Isn’t this a bad idea?

There are also those tribesmen who follow Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen will definitely not divide the one hundred thousand taels of silver. He is also a wild goose who plucks his hair. Those tribesmen have long been red-eyed. If this really happens, they

Are you willing to give up?

Wang Xifeng gently tugged on Jia Lian's sleeve, feeling that it would be really bad to stay in this place.

Jia Lian understood, stood up and whispered to Jia She: "Father will stay here first, and son will go back with his wife first... The old lady fainted, I helped call the imperial doctor, and asked Feng Yatou to keep an eye on..."

It means keeping an eye on Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to prevent them from causing trouble.

When these words were said, Jia She agreed first and had to watch, and then hurriedly said: "Go! Go quickly! Don't worry about anything, it doesn't matter to the old lady. You two, hurry up and wait for me."

After hearing this, the couple ran away immediately.

Jia She then asked Jia Zhen with a smile on his face: "Eldest nephew, if our yard is given to you... can you eat it? If you don't want it, we will take it out. Of course, occupying it

How much land I have acquired from you, how many shares will be calculated for you, and then we will all share the money together." Then he sighed: "I take it for granted, it cost a million taels to build this garden, how can you afford such money now?

A lot of money comes…”

"Uncle..." Jia Zhen said hurriedly: "How much money did it cost to build it, and how much money do we have to sell it for now? This garden is also part of my family. Even if it is sold for takeout, I dare say it won't be sold for that much money.

That's it, two hundred thousand taels, I'll take it. We'll get the money and goods right away."

Jia She immediately stopped smiling: "My nephew, I don't want to take advantage of the situation like this! Two hundred thousand taels? There is no such thing! So, since you can't afford the price, I think so, let's find someone to take out the food, south.

All the salt merchants in the world are rich, and that’s them.”

"Uncle, I own half of this garden. If I don't sell my half, you can't sell the remaining half either. So, two hundred and fifty thousand taels... Don't forget, I gave the land to build the garden.

I also paid 100,000 taels of silver, and I paid 250,000 taels for the remaining half, which is not considered a shortfall."

"Three hundred thousand taels!" Jia She gritted his teeth and gave the price: "Bring it three hundred thousand taels, and we can create a written record now."

Jia Zhen laughed: "Okay! The extra 50,000 taels, even if the nephew honors his uncle, is only 300,000 taels."

Then he turned around and went out, taking 200,000 taels: "I will directly deduct the 100,000 taels of silver for the field sacrifice. Now, the matter of the field sacrifice has nothing to do with Xifuli anymore. This is the remaining 200,000 taels.

Two, please take them."

Jia She took the banknote and looked at it carefully, as if he was afraid of fooling him with a fake one.

But they didn't realize that the fourth master whispered something to Jia Xia, and then a sarcastic smile flashed in Jia Xia's eyes and he left quickly.

Jia Zhengqi's hands trembled: "That's the garden built for my mother-in-law! It contains not only money from our Jia family, but also flowers and trees given by brothers Yu and Heng, stones from the Lin family, and money added by the Xue family.

, there is the Wang family... there is the Shi family... there is..."

Jia She neatly put the money into his arms, and regardless of whether the fourth master was still there, he said: "Whoever they gave it to is going to ask for it. The money was not handed to me, do you want me to acknowledge the account?"

Don’t even think about it!”

But obviously, the money in his arms was not warm. Someone from the Ministry of Household Affairs came to find the heads of the East and West Houses.

Jia Jing raised his eyelids and looked at the Fourth Master, nodding to the Fourth Master to express his gratitude.

Now that the debtor came, he took advantage of the opportunity to swindle all the money and quickly paid the debt, which was regarded as a crime.

Jia She didn't even know that his family still owed a debt of 380,000 taels of silver. The 200,000 taels in his hand now are not warm enough. No, it is not even enough to hand it over to others. He still owes 180,000 taels.

2. The person from the Household Department said: "Since you can easily take out 200,000 taels from your pocket, I think you can get the 180,000 taels together tomorrow. Then come back early tomorrow morning

Take the 180,000 taels."

As for the Ningguo Mansion, it actually owed no less than the Rongguo Mansion, and owed as much as 360,000.

The family has already spent 200,000 taels before. Where can we get another 360,000 taels?

Jia Jing said: "If you don't have money, use your property to pay off your debts." After all, the garden was owned by the imperial concubine, so if you were asked to go in and ruin it, don't you think your crime is not serious? Fortunately, Brother Heng called the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This person avoided a sin and paid off his debt at the same time. "Didn't I just buy this garden..."

"It's worth 300,000 taels." Jia Zhen said with a look on her face: "Use this to pay off the debt, and we'll get another 60,000 taels."

"Wait a minute." The person didn't recognize the price: "Can the price count for the things your family gives to your family? You can pay it to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the price has to be calculated separately."

As a result, they stopped looking at the garden, saying they were afraid of disturbing the women. They looked very polite and polite, and then said: "Two hundred thousand taels! It's worth two hundred thousand taels."

Jia Zhenhao wanted to defend herself, but she was told, "You didn't pay two hundred thousand taels in the first place. Later, you increased the price to honor your uncle. That's not the price of the garden. We can't let us accept this account."

Jia Zhen was frightened, even others knew what she had said before.

He no longer dared to speak, he had to eat even if he suffered a loss, and he had to eat even if he didn't eat. Yuanzi had paid the Ningguo Mansion's debt of 200,000 taels, which meant that he had to pay another 160,000 taels. And he still owed the clan members

One hundred thousand taels of silver for the field sacrifice.

People also said that the two families with 160,000 yuan will come to pick them up early tomorrow morning.

After saying that, Shi Shiran left.

The fourth master glanced at Jia Yun. Jia Yun understood and pretended to go to serve tea. However, when passing by Jia Qin and others, he muttered in a low voice: "How can you get so much silver? It seems that the clan's one hundred thousand taels

It’s going to be ruined.”

When Jia Qin heard this, he immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "We won't delay the clan leader today. The clan leader has important matters to attend to. Let's just divide the one hundred thousand taels and disperse them separately. Divide the sects into different sects.

It's just a matter of becoming a clan and not causing any more trouble to the clan."

Those who were willing to follow Ning Guo Mansion in the past, now look at it, Ning Guo Mansion is nothing more than that. Then it is better for each of them to take the money and quickly find a way out for themselves.

Therefore, the tribesmen who had previously united around Jia Zhen stretched out their hands one by one, with only one intention: take the money and share it with us.

Jia Jing felt relieved: It's better to break up! It's better to break up! Only when they are all broken up can they all have a way to survive.

So he scolded Jia Zhen: "Take the money! When a grown man speaks, he spits and nails."

Jia Zhen didn't dare not listen. When she took the silver and handed it over, she gritted her teeth. She looked at Jia Qin and others with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison. His words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "But you have to take it.

Don’t wait until you get out the door and get robbed again.”

It was originally meant to be a scare, but who knew that the people from Jinling's hometown would take it seriously. They couldn't trust these people, so they just clamored about how the division must be explained clearly, and they had to divide it now, right here.

So he called the people from the bank and took the scattered silver notes of one hundred thousand taels, which were divided according to the heads of the men in the clan. It was not until the evening that the division was completed.

With so many people coming and going, the farce in the Jia family has long been known to everyone in the capital.

Now that everyone has received money, some go off to live and drink, while others huddle around the two houses, not daring to go far at night for fear of encountering any unexpected events. They just wait for dawn tomorrow, change their outfits, and then go home without mentioning it.

The fourth master came back quite late. He really waited for it to be over before he came back. He learned things from Lin Yutong.

"Now that they are scattered, it is better than the outcome of the tree falling and the hozen being dispersed." If these tribesmen have a right heart, they can take advantage of the clan's brand to buy properties with money, and they can be considered to be able to stand on their own feet.

As for those who don't live up to expectations, they really deserve to lose their family fortune, lose their livelihood, and live on the streets to starve and freeze to death.

After watching the fourth master eat, Lin Yutong asked him to wash up, but the fourth master refused: "I can't stay at home at night, so I'd better go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion for a while. I happened to have something important to say to him. Those two

The government doesn't want to return the remaining silver to the Ministry of Revenue, so it must be found. Later, I will ask an imperial doctor to come and stay at home. I just say that you are tired today and have fetal force, so no one can see you."
