Chapter 167
Mother Jia came to You Shi because she wanted to discuss with her the matter of pooling money from the two houses to pay for their lives.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng had no intention of paying money at all. Their idea was simple: whoever caused the trouble would settle it themselves.Since the emperor came to blackmail Jia's mansion because of Qin Keqing's affairs, then you Ningguo mansion should pay for it!
What's more, the Rongguo Mansion is almost exhausted now.
It is true that the ancestors of the Jia family left a large amount of wealth in the past.But everyone knows the truth of sitting and eating mountains and nothing!
Now all the income of the mansion is nothing more than relying on a few farms, a few shops, and Jia Zheng's annual salary which is not much.These are all added up to only tens of thousands of taels of silver, what is enough?
The love of ostentation and face saving passed down from the Rongguo Mansion since ancient times are all piled up with a lot of money!
What is even more worrisome is that among the men in Jia's mansion today, from Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan, how can any of them make money?
To put it bluntly, these men are people who are used to "opening their mouths and reaching out their hands when they eat". How could they have imagined how much money such a big house would need to run every day?
It's not that there are no ways to make quick money: buying and selling official positions, helping people with lawsuits to make money... These are all excellent ways to make money.But Jia Amnesty only knew Gao Le, and Jia Zheng was pedantic, and he blocked this road for life.Sister Feng secretly collected a lot of black money for helping people in lawsuits, but she is also a woman after all, so it's not easy to do these things every day!
There is another point, Sister Feng made money by this method, and it was put into her own pocket, how could she be willing to put it in the government for everyone's envoy?
Therefore, the Rongguo Mansion is getting more and more exhausted!
Mother Jia never cared about these things, she always had money and things in her hand!No one can do without her old man.As for how much money is left in Rongguo Mansion, she doesn't ask, and she doesn't know very well.
Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are very clear about this!The money left in the Rongguo Mansion is just enough to live on. How can there be any money left to help others?
Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Wang saw Youshi, she revealed in her words that she was unwilling to help, and let Youshi figure out a way by herself.
Youshi is so wronged here that he can't wait to die immediately before he is reconciled!Why did everyone come to persecute her?She just has a name, she has neither real power nor real money in her hands!What can she do?
"Old Ancestor, our Ningguo Mansion really doesn't have that much money right now! If the Master hadn't built that Laoshizi Tianxiang Building, maybe we could have collected 1000 million taels! But now, where do we collect it? So much money that was spent in vain has already changed." It has become a rare luxury building in the world..."
"A bunch of prodigals! Tell me, why is Brother Zhen so crazy? He thinks he has too much money? Why did he build this Tianxiang Building?" Jia Mu was trembling with anger: her daughters-in-law have no money, and there The grandma in the mansion also cried and said they had no money. Could it be that the chance of survival that I gave up my old face was so worthless in their eyes?Do you really have to wait until the guillotine is on your neck to be happy?
"Say it! Tell me the truth! The more troubles you have in Ningguo Mansion, the more shameful it is! Your old father-in-law just wants to live a good life, but why is he going to the Taoist temple to cultivate some immortals! His son's extravagance and lust have ruined Ningguo Mansion. He doesn't care! What kind of immortal is this cultivating?" Jiamu asked Youshi loudly with anger in her eyes.
"Ancestor, old ancestor, I am suffering too! It's not that I haven't persuaded you, but is it useful? It's just in exchange for a meal and a beating! Why do you really don't know why Master Zhen built this building?" You Shi cried.
"I don't know, how would I know? How old am I? Do you still want me to worry about you? You should hurry up and say, why did you build the building?" Mother Jia asked repeatedly.
"Since you keep asking, old ancestor, I'm not afraid of being ashamed! The Xianglou was built for Qin Keqing that day!" Youshi cried in a low voice.
"What? For Qin Keqing? Why does Jia Zhen, a father-in-law, build a house for his daughter-in-law? What about Jia Rong? Can Jia Rong die? It's his turn to worry about it?" Jia Mu asked suspiciously.Although she had heard people talking about Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing's affair, she just treated it as nonsense and never took it to heart.Hearing what You Shi said now, she was quite surprised.
"Old ancestor! Let me tell the truth! The two of them have long been in love! Jia Zhen seems to be a different person now, thinking about his daughter-in-law all the time!" You Shi complained and hated at the same time. .
"What? Did this become a real thing? Does Jia Zhen even care about her face for Qin Keqing?" When Jia's mother heard it, she felt a "bang" in her heart, and said to herself: "It's over, it's over, everything is gone now. It's over! Wan Evil is the leader, since the two have such an affair, the fall of the Ningguo Mansion will only happen sooner or later!"
The old man was extremely horrified, and she couldn't help thinking of how the ancestors of Jia's family had worked so hard to make these two houses prosperous, but they never expected to raise such a group of prodigal sons in the end!
No wonder people often say "wealth can't last three generations!" It seems that I really want to watch this tall building in Jia's mansion collapse!
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and the more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became, pointing at Youshi and shouting out of breath, "Okay...okay... I didn't expect that the entire generation of the Jia family would shed blood and sweat. In exchange for you bastards! I...I..." At the end, she couldn't breathe, rolled her eyes and fainted...
All of a sudden, the women in the room were scared out of their wits!Sister Feng ran over to hug Jia Mu and cried bitterly. Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she lost her mind. After walking a few steps, her legs became weak and she fell to the ground.
Youshi lost his mind and hurriedly shouted: "Come on! The old lady has passed out! Mandarin duck? Mandarin duck!"
It turned out that Yuanyang and other people were waiting quietly outside the door, but when she heard the chaos in the room, she hurried in leading Ping'er, Jin Chuan'er and a group of maidservants.
Immediately, the house became a mess. Those who visited Mrs. Jia visited Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Mrs. Fu Wang who helped Mrs. Wang, and Yin Dieer also quietly came over to help Youshi, and secretly wiped her tears.
It turned out that Jia's mother was just furious, and then she couldn't catch her breath and passed out.Yuanyang just pinched the person a little bit, and she woke up.Rao is so, how can everyone dare to rest assured?Sister Feng was the first to call for the best doctor to come and have a look.
Subterranean Ping'er didn't trust others to go, so she ran to find someone to invite a doctor by herself.Here Mrs. Wang felt relieved when she saw Mother Jia woke up, but she herself was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling all the time, and she couldn't walk.
Ordinarily, Mrs. Wang has only been filial in face since ancient times, and she knows what she thinks in private.Now that Mother Jia is in a faint, why is she so frightened?
