Chapter 121 Red Mansion 121
121
Mrs. Wang has been in her private treasury for a long time.She didn't need to read the booklet to know which boxes and cages were her dowry, which ones were obtained from the old library, which ones belonged to the Lin family, which ones were added after she got married, and which ones were deposited by the Zhen family because of ransacking the house.Every time she looked at those cages, Mrs. Wang felt extremely satisfied.Mrs. Zhang can snatch the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, but she also has to have that fate to be the actual housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion.
It is said that there is a soul after death, so will Mrs. Zhang be so angry that she will die again when she sees this? !Before returning the Zhang family's dowry, Mrs. Wang couldn't help thinking this way every time she entered her private treasury.
Since returning Zhang's dowry, every time Mrs. Wang went into the private treasury, her heart ached when she saw the empty piece, until the old concubine passed away two years ago.Mrs. Wang looked at the boxes and cages that the Zhen family kept, and smiled while pinching her handkerchief, yes!At the beginning, I agreed to send my Yuanchun to her son, but in the end, I just dragged it to that lonely little transparent.It's still because my Yuanchun is very lucky and lucky. If it weren't for Yuanchun who was born at a good time today, where would it be his turn to sit in the big position.
Mrs. Wang looked left and right, and what usually brought her a sense of satisfaction changed today.I have spent more than 20 years, like a swallow swallowing mud, saving up little by little, but I still have to take it out, I just feel uncomfortable like worrying.
Pick one up and look at it, then put it down again.Damn Jia Amnesty, why did he find such a husband's family for the sick young man of the Lin family?Mrs. Wang looked at Manku's Zhenai, and thought of many of these things, she was about to leave her, and felt that she couldn't stay any longer.
Mrs. Wang walked slowly back to the east room where she lived, closed her eyes and meditated.Yu Chuan came in quietly, looked at Mrs. Wang, and called softly: "Madam, madam. Butler Lin said that the officials from the household department had spoken to the master, and the master sent Mrs. Lin to see the wife."
Mrs. Wang opened her eyes suddenly, and Yu Chuan quickly lowered her head and stood still. She was so frightened that the nails of her clenched fists were digging into her flesh, and she didn't dare to show any strangeness.The wife has been in a bad mood these past few days, and even Caixia was kicked out because the tea she made was too hot.A few of the people serving in the yard have already been fined, and the rest dare not make a sound when they walk.Aunt Zhao, who can cry and make tricks when she catches something, is like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.
Mrs. Wang looked at Caixia for a while, and said in a cold voice that was extremely restrained, "Change your clothes, let's go."
Mrs. Wang went to the main hall and did her job behind the screen.The voice of the servant of the household department resounded firmly in the main hall, "Lord Jia, it's because I'm not willing to be accommodating. I have given you the family property booklet of Lord Lin. I have checked the signature of your Rongguo Mansion's storage. It cannot be said that it belongs to your niece. Once you have all the things, the sage will divide them according to the price, and decide which ones will go to the imperial court and which ones will go to the orphans of the Lin family."
Jia Amnesty said in a dry voice, "Please Liu Shilang Haihan, I will clean it up today, and clean it up as soon as possible."
"Lord Jia, the Ministry of Household Affairs has a lot of things to do at the end of the year. The three of us have been in your mansion for two days. If we don't have everything at noon tomorrow, I will have to report back."
Mrs. Wang's three souls flew halfway, and it took a long time before she slowly regained her senses, everything was complete, and it had to be filled!
Jia Zheng sent the people from the household department to leave. When he came back, he saw Mrs. Wang still sitting there blankly. ah."
"Master, two or three million, even if I fill in all the dowry income of my concubine over the years, it may not be enough."
Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang, and said after a while, "It's not enough to borrow from relatives." Then he went to the study.
Mrs. Wang took the list from Lin Zhixiao, and it was full of things that were missing after checking by the household department.Mrs. Wang felt that the dozen or so pages of paper were so heavy that she could hardly lift them.
Mrs. Wang ordered Yuchuan to call Caiyun and Yuanyang to her yard.
When the two came in, they saluted Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang looked at the two of them with a soft tone as she said to Baoyu, "Caiyun, you have been in Baoyu's house for so long. I am short of people here. You will pack up your things in a while, why don't you?" Come back with me."
Caiyun knelt down and kowtowed, and answered "Yes".Then he asked Mrs. Wang, "Ma'am, who will the servants take care of the daytime affairs in Baoyu's courtyard?"
Mrs. Wang thought to herself, this colorful cloud is okay to look at, why can't it suppress Baoyu's yard?This sentence subtracted seven or eight from the original thoughts of loathing Caiyun's failure to live up to expectations.
"Yuanyang, I just told the old lady about Qingwen, and I will pick it up when she is well. You go and see how Qingwen is doing, and if she is well, I will take it in to manage Baoyu's yard with you. That's it. , Don’t worry, the old lady, and I can too.”
Yuanyang agreed and went down with Caiyun.
Regardless of Xue Pan and Xia Jingui's quarrel, Baochai took Ying'er back to her room.After changing into homely clothes, he told Wen Xing, "Wen Xing, go and see what my mother is doing?"
Wen Xing came back soon, "Miss," Baochai saw Wen Xing's expression, and knew that she must be sad.
Forget it, I'll go and have a look.He helped Yinger go to Aunt Xue.
When Aunt Xue saw Baochai coming in, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, "My son, why didn't you go to your aunt's place, why did you come back? But what's the matter?"
Baochai said good luck to Aunt Xue, sat down next to Aunt Xue, Tongxi hurriedly poured tea for Baochai, Baochai took the cup of tea, dismissed Yinger and Tongxi, and whispered in Aunt Xue's ear He said, "Mom, listen to me, something big happened at my aunt's house."
Aunt Xue covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Baochai.
"My aunt's house built a pro-sacrificing garden and moved Miss Lin's family property. According to the law, after the Lin family is extinct, half of the property will go to the imperial court. The saint sent people from the household department to check."
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "If you return half of it, your aunt has some."
"Mom, why don't you pay back half of it? My aunt came to me just now, she just wanted me to persuade Miss Lin to come forward and allow the court to ask my aunt's house to return her half in the future." Baochai's lips showed a mocking smile.
"Mom, just watch. If my aunt doesn't come to borrow money from you tonight, she will come tomorrow morning."
Aunt Xue was a little worried, "Xiuyuanzi has borrowed hundreds of thousands."
Baochai looked at Aunt Xue who had slipped her tongue, and Aunt Xue smiled awkwardly, "Your aunt said it was a loan, and she will pay it back later."
"Mom," Baochai didn't know what to say, "pay it back, what will you give me?"
"There is a lady. When the lady has a little prince..."
Baochai didn't wait for Aunt Xue to finish, "Mom, there is a little prince, and that prince can give hundreds of thousands to his family to repay the debt? Mom, it's not hundreds of thousands now, and there are Lin's too!"
"What's the hurry of the Lin family? What if we don't pay it back for now?"
Baochai couldn't understand why her own mother believed in Mrs. Wang so much. "Mom, my daughter just passed by, and I heard Zhu's sister-in-law say: the elder gave Daiyu to the family of the official servant, and her father-in-law is a confidant in front of me today. My daughter thinks, I'm afraid that the prince will try to curry favor with him in the future. Otherwise, with my aunt's usual temperament towards Miss Lin, why would she want her daughter to seek favor from Daiyu?"
Aunt Xue stayed there.
After Aunt Xue married into the Xue family, she lived in Jinling for a long time, so of course she knew the Gusu Lin family very well.When I was unmarried, I went to Jia's mansion to see my sister, and I also met Jia Min.That Jia Min is beautiful and proud, relying on the Duke of the country, he doesn't take anyone seriously.I watched Jia Min marry Tanhualang, who was born in three generations of nobles, with a lot of red makeup. Wealth, nobility, talent, and talent are all in one.I don't know how many people are like me, secretly envious of Jia Min in their hearts, wishing they could go for her.
It is said that beauties are unlucky, but Aunt Xue's saying is that there are so many destined, if you enjoy it early, it will be over early.At that time, when the head of the family received the news of Jia Min's death, he even went to Lin Ruhai to express his condolences.When Aunt Xue brought her children to the capital, the two sisters talked and laughed a lot about the Lin family's affairs.Look at that sick girl from the Lin family, just like her mother, she looks down on people's petty temperament... Now my sister is forced to come to the door by this sick girl.
My sister is really getting more and more hopeless.
Baochai watched Aunt Xue's face change, and waited for a long time, when Aunt Xue picked up a teacup to drink, "Mom, I'll get you some hot ones."
Aunt Xue is relieved, it is better to be a daughter, who knows the cold and the hot.The husband also said that in the future, he would ask Bao girl more in case of trouble.
"My son, what if your aunt comes to borrow money again?"
"No borrowing. It's a bottomless pit. Mom thinks there are so many people in Jia's family. They spend ten thousand taels a year on food and clothing, and they go to the palace. A few days ago, I accompanied sister-in-law Zhu and Tanchun to house the house. , the slaves in the palace come to borrow a few hundred taels from time to time." Baochai whispered into Aunt Xue's ear, "Yuanyang secretly took the dang that the old lady didn't use, and exchanged it for silver for those in the palace."
Baochai also changed to hot tea, "Mom, how much do you think is enough?"
"But what if we don't borrow it? We still have to rely on the Jia family."
"Mom, relying on my daughter, I cleaned up our house while my second brother was here. There are so many people crowded in the small courtyard of Jia's house, and my sister-in-law and brother are making such a fuss every day. I don't know how many people are watching the joke. You don't even have the face to bring your aunt. Besides, we just move back to live. Could it be that if there is something wrong, can my aunt help?"
"But moving back? We've been talking about you and Baoyu for so long..."
"Mom, you are just like you when you are an aunt! Look at sister-in-law Zhu being rubbed, and look at sister Feng. Baoyu has not even been a scholar yet. Mr. is so angry at his so-called "lu beetle". Resigned from the museum."
"But my son, if you don't choose Baoyu, the marriage will be wasted in Jia's house."
"Mom, do you trust your daughter?" Baochai saw Aunt Xue nodded, "Mom, I already told my aunt that you were ill, and if she sent someone, my daughter would stop her. You must never go to see your aunt. ?”
Aunt Xue nodded in agreement, and asked Tong Xi to invite the doctor, but said she had a headache and dizziness, so Xue Pan hurriedly went to invite the doctor.
