The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 268 Confiscated

As a son, Jia Amnesty couldn't have thought of Jia's mother's thoughts. In fact, when he got the Lai family's reputation and broke the law outside, he knew that there must be Jia's mother's hands and feet.However, although Jia She knew it, he didn't intend to pursue it. Those things were given to her by his son's filial piety, but Mrs. Wang, Jia She didn't intend to forgive them lightly.

Originally, according to this idea, it would be fine to wait until tomorrow, but Jia Amnesty was already determined to tear his face apart, so how could he give them a chance to prepare!

Immediately said: "The old lady's words are wrong! It's not even time for dinner, it's so late! Besides, if you wait to find out tomorrow, maybe some people will hear the news today, It’s already been smoothed out! Isn’t this for those big-hearted servants, a chance to breathe? This is not possible, come on! Go and open the warehouse for me and reconcile the accounts.” Saying that, he let his confidant go away !

"Boss, you..." Mother Jia was trembling with anger, she pointed at Jia Amnesty with one hand, and was about to scold him!

Jia Amnesty spoke again, "Old lady, don't worry, with your son here, those people will not dare to resist, and will explain honestly. Don't worry that the reputation of our Jia family will be bad if it is spread, this is the It will be tried, and everyone in the capital will pay attention to this test, and no one will notice that our Jia Manor is going to clean up the servants."

Others may not have understood Jia She's words, but Jia's mother did.Back then, when she attacked Mrs. Zhang, it was also the time of the test. That year, the Zhang family happened to have children going to take the scientific examination, so she didn't pay attention to this side, and then let Jiamu and Mrs. Wang succeed.

Jia's mother opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. She could see that Jia Amnesty was determined to check the public account and warehouse this time, and she couldn't refuse no matter what she felt.Although she prefers the second room.But I also know that this Rongguo Mansion was originally inherited by Jia She, if Jia She really had the idea of ​​dying, regardless of his own reputation and the Jia family's reputation, he would go to the court to participate in Jia's politics.Jia Zheng decided that she would not be able to eat and walk around, so over the years, she turned a blind eye to what Jia She and Mrs. Xing said about the second room.Just to stabilize the big house.

But she didn't expect that Mrs. Wang, an idiot, would do such a thing and ruin her business.After taking a hard look at Mrs. Wang.Jia's mother sat still, but she was thinking about how to help the second room get through this test.And these things have been happening for a long time.Why did Jia Amnesty explode at this time? Is it a coincidence?Or conspiracy?

After a while, the chief steward of the outer tent came over, holding the account book and muttering: "There are five Zhuangzi in the mansion of twenty hectares, ten Zhuangzi in ten hectares, and one hundred hectares of sacrifice fields, except for sacrifice fields. Most of the Zhuangzi are distributed Near the capital. There are fifteen shops. In addition to the Rongguo Mansion, there are three four-entry houses, six three-entry houses, and five other courtyards. Most of these are in the capital. These are worth 50 in total. Taels of silver. There are 25 taels of cash in the palace, 1 taels of silver in the field house and Zhuangzi every year, 3 taels of profit in the shop every year, and a total of 4 taels of silver in the mansion every year."

When the chief steward of the external account room thought this, everyone's expressions were not right.

Jia's mother was in charge of the house, even if she fished some privately, she would not go to this field.Moreover, when Mrs. Zhang passed away, when she handed over the ledger to Mrs. Wang, she knew how many things were in the ledger, not to mention the antique calligraphy and painting decorations in the treasury, there were still 300 million taels of silver.As a result, it has only been a long time now, and there is not even 100 million taels of silver left.

Let's just say that the family doesn't have much gray income, but it's impossible to fail like this in just such a period of time!

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang angrily. Is she so greedy for money?Buying the Zhuangzi shop in the house, these things that earn money every year, this is not greedy for money, it is obviously the seller.

Jia She sneered and looked at everyone's reaction, saying that when he first found out, he was pissed off, and now he let other people taste it.

Mrs. Wang's face was ashen, she knew she had done it this time, no matter how partial Jia's mother was to the second room, she couldn't remain indifferent after seeing her do such a thing.If nothing else, you won't be able to pass the level of Guangdafang!

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu had never touched the family's account books, so they didn't react much, they just marveled, is the family so difficult?

Mrs. Xing has never touched the account books of the Jia family, but before Jia Amnesty, she also showed her the account books left in the big house before Mrs. Zhang passed away. There were four or five million taels of things on it. More than ten thousand taels.Mrs. Xing blinked and admired Mrs. Wang very much, this greedy person is too powerful!

Wang Xifeng's complexion changed drastically. Although her parents died, Wang Ziteng and his wife treated her very well. Before they got married, they also taught her to be a housekeeper.Although she didn't see the account books of the Jia family, she had seen the account books of the Wang family. It stands to reason that the property of the Jia family should be more than that of the Wang family.

Although Wang Xifeng knew that Mrs. Wang did this for the sake of the second wife, she still silently despised Mrs. Wang in her heart. Even if the family ran out of money and used antiques as an emergency, she would not buy Zhuangzi or shops. This is the head of a big family. Things the mistress knows.Things like Zhuangzi's shop that earn money every year must not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary.These things of the big family are generally only bought, not sold.

And Wang Xifeng suddenly thought that Wang Ziteng's wife had told her when she got married that she should go to Jia's house and keep a close eye on her dowry. The dowry is not acceptable, but now Wang Xifeng is hesitant, especially thinking that when Mrs. Wang was going to send a congratulatory gift to the Marquis of the Kingdom of Li, she asked for one of her dowry antiques, and she became even more suspicious!

Jia Amnesty pretended not to see the faces of the crowd, and continued to ask: "Then what is our annual expenditure?"

"Returning to the Elder Master, the daily expenses of the mansion require 1 taels of silver every year, and the cost of house repairs is also high, 5000 taels of silver every year. Gifts are given on New Year's Day in the mansion, and 2 taels of silver are needed for banquets and birthday parties. The second master is an official and manages from top to bottom , The banquet needs 3 taels of silver. The grandpa spends 3 taels of silver on banquets every year, and buys antique calligraphy, paintings and playthings. These expenses are close to 10 taels of silver. This is just January, and I received 2 taels, and now I have spent all of it, and the money will be spent later." According to the manager, this year's income is definitely beyond the means.

As soon as the chief steward's words came out, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that the mansion was already unable to make ends meet, with 4 taels of income and 10 taels of expenses, this account can be calculated by anyone.The big money is spent on Jia She and Jia Zheng, no one can say no to it, Jia She is the grand master of Xijue, a serious head of the family, who dares to stop him from spending money, this whole house is now only Jia If the government is an official, who can stop him from managing the money in the officialdom.

"According to what you said, this year has reached the point where we can't make ends meet, and we will soon use the money in the treasury?" Jia She asked squintingly. Jia She didn't care at all about the 3 taels of silver he used every year. He is the master of Xijue, not to mention using this little money, even if it is 10 taels a year, that is what it should be.

"In answer to what the old man said, it is true. Right now, we can only use the money in the treasury. In the second half of the year, the money will be delivered to the treasury to make up for it." The chief steward said, the chief steward is an old lady, how could he not know the tricks in it? , it’s just inconvenient to say.

Jia Amnesty ignored Jia Mu's little gesture of winking at him, and continued to ask: "Where are the antique calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse at home?"

"Returning to the old man, in these years, apart from the annual consumption of each room and the number of people coming and going, there has not been much change." The subtext of the big housekeeper's words is that Mrs. Wang has not reached here yet!

Zhuangzi and shops can use different excuses to sell them, but antique calligraphy and paintings are different, and they still make money by leaving them alone.Mrs. Wang hadn't reached out her hand there before she finished harming Jia's shop and Zhuangzi.

After all, those two warehouses are opened several times a year, and everyone knows what's in them.But the shop and Zhuangzi are different. The account book is in the hands of Mrs. Wang, who is the big housekeeper. Without Mrs. Wang's permission, she can't see the account book. Naturally, this can make Mrs. Wang do whatever she wants!

"I remember, when Zhang's housekeeper was in charge, the family's property was far more than this, far more than this, more than three times. You stewards, how do you manage housekeeping, ah!" Jia Shen almost didn't say it clearly, they Embezzled!

In fact, a few days ago, the chief manager had secretly taken refuge in Jia She, otherwise he would not have said these words so honestly, knowing that Jia She was not targeting him.But he still knelt down like a play, and cried: "My lord, this old slave has been wronged. Since the second wife is in charge, we who are in charge of the ledger have never seen the keys at all. We report to the second wife separately every time. Now, if the old slave hadn’t held the ledger, the old slave wouldn’t have known how much the house’s income and expenses had been for a year? I’d like to ask the Elder Master to check it out.” The housekeeper almost said Mrs. Wang was corrupt!

Jia Zheng was so ashamed when he heard this, his face turned red, he was so ashamed, and immediately yelled that he wanted to divorce that poisonous woman Wang.

Seeing her second son like this, the old lady smashed a teacup and said, "Divorce your wife and divorce Wang back home. What will happen to Zhu'er, Yuanchun and Baoyu?" She couldn't agree to divorce Wang back home.

Jia Amnesty sneered at the side, watching the performance of the old lady and Jia Zheng, they could do whatever they wanted, if they didn't meet his requirements, the old lady and the second room would never have a good life.

Now Jia Amnesty is not afraid of death.
