Chapter 271 The family is separated
Both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu have little knowledge of market prices. Wang Xifeng may know how much it is worth, but she has no place to speak at this time.What's more, the two stewards of the outer courtyard are experts in doing these things, and there will be no special pitfalls, which can be seen at a glance. It's just that the antiques in the east are less than 100 taels, and the calligraphy and paintings on the west are less than 150 taels. Several shops are undercounting 200 taels of silver.A little bit less, no one can see it.
Antique calligraphy and paintings, shops and Zhuangzi, all of them are calculated at the lowest price, and there is not much less for each item, but it adds up.Waiting for Jia Amnesty to go back and check again, a full 10 taels came out, which can be considered a windfall!
After waiting for the things to be transported to the big house, Jia Amnesty arrived at Jia Mu's yard calmly.
When Jia's mother saw that Jia Amnesty had come again, she said angrily, "If you don't accept Dafang's property, what are you doing here?"
After Jia Amnesty saluted Jia's mother, he said with an innocent face: "The son wants to ask the old lady, since the money in the public house has already been divided, should we share the antique calligraphy and paintings in the public treasury together? Some things will happen in the future." To put it bluntly, Jia She is going to divide everything this time, and from then on, the first room and the second room will be separated, and no one will care about the other.
Although Jia's mother was angry, she agreed to the division of the family, and there was nothing she could not agree to, and it was true that there was no money from the public house, and there was no reason to separate the antique calligraphy and paintings in the public treasury.Therefore, I could only suppress my anger, and said to Jia Amnesty angrily, "Since they are all separated, let's divide them!"
After receiving Jia Mu's words, Jia Amnesty immediately found Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu, led the two stewards of the outer courtyard, and distributed the antique calligraphy and paintings!
Looking at Jia Zheng's gloomy face, Jia She said cheerfully: "Second brother also heard yesterday that our family still owes the treasury 60 taels of silver. I have already prepared the 30 taels of silver note." I'll wait for you, second brother, to get ready, and take it to the household department to return it!" The subtext is: Don't try to delay paying it back.If you dare to procrastinate, don't blame him for being rude!
Moreover, Jia She bad-heartedly left a lot of money for the second room. Mrs. Wang kept the profit money, which was quite a lot of cash.
Jia Zheng has never been ashamed in his life, even if he was told outside that he disrespected his elder brother.Occupying the main courtyard, I have never been so useless.With a gloomy face, he suppressed the fire in his heart.Pretending to be calm, he said: "Don't worry, brother, I'm ready, and I've put it at the old lady's place!"
Jia She stroked his beard, "That's good, it's not me, the big brother, urging you, it's just the law of the country and the family. It's still the law of the country." The subtext is: You should be more sensible, and move out of Rongxitang quickly!
It's just that Jia Zheng pretended not to understand what he said, so after perfunctory Jia Amnesty, he took Jia Zhu away!
But Jia Zhu is a scholar after all, and he knew that his family lived in Rongxitang, which violated the etiquette system.It's just that he can't talk about his parents and elders, he can deceive himself and others, and now Jia Amnesty has hinted at this.His face was not good-looking either.
After Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu had gone far away, Jia Amnesty snorted coldly, didn't you understand?It doesn't matter, in a few days, Jia Amnesty will let Jia Zheng understand.
Most important now.It's better to clean up the allocated property first!Shop and Zhuangzi.Jia She also knew how much the big house got, a small amount of income every year would definitely not be enough, and it would certainly be enough if he added his own private house, but Jia She was unwilling to take it out, so he used the extra money to buy a shop Zhuangzi, it is imperative, at least the superficial expenses must be enough.
Although looking at the second room was a big loss, in fact, if the public funds embezzled by Mrs. Wang were not counted, the second room didn't suffer much.Mrs. Wang is not shrewd, but she is very shrewd when it comes to money. Otherwise, in the original book, she would not let Jia Baoyu marry a merchant girl, and that merchant girl has such a superb elder brother. have you gone?
Therefore, although Mrs. Wang sold many shops and villages in Gongzhong, they were all sold when they were most valuable. In addition, she also gave away profit. When Jia Zheng asked Wang Xifeng to check their property, if Judging from Zhang's family property when he was the housekeeper, the second room didn't suffer much, that is, there were not many shops and Zhuangzi, but there was a lot of cash!
After Mrs. Wang made such a thing, neither Jia Mu nor Jia Zheng could hand over the housekeeping power of the second room to her, so the housekeeping power naturally fell into Wang Xifeng's hands.
Don't say too much about Wang Xifeng, in modern times, she is a strong woman!No pressure from the housekeeper or anything.However, after experiencing Mrs. Wang's corruption case as soon as she entered the door, Wang Xifeng did not dare to make any big moves against the second room's account book.
Jia Baoyu is young, but he is Jia's mother's darling. In the future, Jia's mother will find a daughter-in-law for him who will also be able to take care of the family.Wang Xifeng didn't want to come to such an event in the future and end up like this, but where he could let go, Wang Xifeng would still let go, who doesn't love money!
In terms of love of money, Wang Xifeng is no worse than Mrs. Wang, but Wang Xifeng lives with money and can make money with money, and Mrs. Wang is dead with money. Except for the usury, there is nothing to spend. So, on the surface, it seems that Mrs. Wang is more greedy for money.
But all that said, can't stop the passage of time.
Because the division of the family is a very important matter, on the third morning, Jia's mother presided over the division of the family. She specially invited Chen Shilang from the household department and Jia Zhen, the patriarch, to be witnesses. Except for the old lady, all the women were not present. The men of the government, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu, and Jia Lian are sitting here.
"Chen Shilang, you came here today to ask you to be a witness. When the Duke died, he left a message that as long as the old woman is still alive, the two families will not be separated, but the eldest sons of the two families have grown up. The old lady decided to divide the property without dividing the family. Firstly, the property in the mansion was divided to avoid troubles in the future. After the old woman left, the two houses would be formally separated, and Master Chen was invited to be a witness." Jia Amnesty intends to completely divide the family Family, but in the end it was Jia's mother who was old and cunning, and at this juncture she still gave Jia Amnesty a slap in the face.
Jia Amnesty was furious, but he also knew that he couldn't get angry at this time, and Jia Daishan had indeed said such words before his death, so he could only accept it, and it was just that the property was divided, and everything was in his own pocket. So what, let Jiamu be proud of it again, anyway, in a few days, he will give Jiamu a big 'surprise'!So Jia Amnesty swallowed the breath in his heart.
Chen Shilang looked at the attitude of the two rooms. It was obvious that the people in the two rooms knew about this matter. Since it was discussed, there was no need to waste his words. Chen Shilang was relieved.In the capital, everyone knew that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion was partial to the second wife, and he thought it was because the eldest wife couldn't bear this anger and made a fuss about separating the family, and he even tried to persuade them to fight.Now that he doesn't need to waste his time talking, Chen Shilang is at ease!
"The first house and the second house are the sons of the master and I. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. The old woman, I just have a bowl of water. Apart from offering sacrifices to the fields, Jinling ancestral property, and things that have been rewarded over the years, Rongfu's The rest of the property will be given to the two of you brothers according to the will left by the master. According to the will of the master, the account book of the public office will first be thrown away the 60 taels of silver owed to the state treasury. The rest will be divided between the two according to the will of the master. .
In addition, the furnishings in the house, antique calligraphy and paintings, and the two rooms are divided into three or seven, and the decorations in various places are not easy to move. Except for the rewards from above, the rest should belong to various places.There is still 25 taels of silver in the palace, and 5 taels are kept in the palace for expenses in the second half of the year. The remaining 20 taels are 10 taels for the family.Boss, second child, you think it's fair to divide like this. " Jia Mu said, showing the list to everyone for review.
"The old lady is the most fair, and my son has no objection." Jia She said calmly.
"My son has no objection." Jia Zheng also agreed!
The property of this division was distributed to the two households yesterday, but now it is just for show, what's your opinion?
Chen Shilang and Jia Zhen are both sensible people. As far as the treasury money is concerned, the second house gets more than the big house, but their position is not good enough to speak for the big house. Besides, Jia Amnesty himself has no objections. It was not easy to stand out, so they signed and testified together.
After waiting for the family separation procedure to be completed, Jia Amnesty took the box containing 60 taels of silver bills and the memorial written by the late emperor, and went directly to see Emperor Xuande.
Jia She understands that if he pays back the money with a big fanfare, won't he become the target of everyone?Now, from the emperor's relatives to the officials of Zhima University, they all borrow money from the Ministry of Households, and their family repays the money in a clear way. Isn't this offending the officials of the entire court?In Jia's mansion, only Jia Zheng is a fifth-rank official, and everyone else is in vain. Any one of those royal relatives can kill Jia's family.
And it's not honorable to say this, the money has been owed for decades!When Emperor Xuande came to the throne, the Jia family actually had money, but I don’t know what kind of consideration Jia Daishan had for not repaying the debt.
How could Jia Shen have thought that Jia Daishan knew that his two sons would not be able to revive the Jia family, so he called the "Yu" generation and the "Cao" generation. When Jia's mother died, the Jade generation was still in the court Come on, and people of the grass-roots generation are going to be official soon. Isn't this just good for the emperor to remember Jia's family!But he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen after his death, turning his plan into ashes.
However, Jia Amnesty was right. Emperor Xuande is currently short of silver. Although there are still 600 million taels in the treasury, no one knows how much money will be spent when a war breaks out. Victory!
Therefore, he unexpectedly remembered Jia's family and rewarded Jia Lian with a pen post.
