Chapter 68 Jia Mansion
On this early spring morning, the Rongguo Mansion was in chaos.
In Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia closed her eyes and said nothing, letting Mrs. Wang complain below.
"Old lady, it's not what the daughter-in-law said. The family's money is really not enough!" Madam Wang said with a embarrassed face.
"There are so many Zhuangzi and shops in the family, and the money donated every year is not enough to spend? How can there be no money?" Jia Mu asked calmly and calmly.
Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, she tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, and wiped the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief: "The old lady doesn't know, the weather in the Northeast has been bad for a few years, and the old man sent me something It has more than doubled. I have been paying money in the account to buy maids and antiques, and the lady has been sending things to the Xing family. There is nothing for a month or two. After a long time, it will be a big expense!"
Mother Jia frowned a little irritably: "You mean that the house can't afford to build a family-saving villa?"
In the past, Mrs. Wang would never have dared to talk to Jia Mu like this, but now, her direct daughter has become a virtuous and noble concubine, and she has a little more confidence in her words. "That's exactly the case. The old lady should love her daughter-in-law more."
"Didn't the Lin family bring something here? Isn't it enough?" Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang's respectful, but actually disdainful expression, feeling a burst of hatred.
Mrs. Wang pulled the handkerchief viciously, lowered her head, and said with some doubts: "Oh, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin are both in Shanxi now, and it is Mr. Lin who handles the housework. Can you expect him to send you something good? I took a closer look yesterday, and there are some silk and lake stones for use, and the rest are just some game. They are antiques, and there are not many of them. The silver ticket is only 2 taels, which is a drop in the bucket. "
Jia's mother frowned, and felt a little bit dissatisfied with Lin Jue. The Jia family is well, and the Lin family will follow suit. After all, Lin Jue is young and doesn't understand the world. "I see. I will write a letter to my son-in-law in a while and ask him to send some more things."
Mrs. Wang smiled secretly, and said: "The Lin family didn't do anything, but my sister sent over 10 taels of silver notes. There is always no shortage of silver. I just thought, Baoyu and Baoyu Chai's age is about the same, why don't you just gather together a double happiness."
"Baoyu is still young, let's talk about it later!" Mother Jia couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the cup, wishing to spit at her, she really has long hair and short knowledge, Baoyu is the only son of the second wife, and there is a noble concubine on it My sister, his wife, how can a daughter of an imperial merchant be worthy?Thinking about it, I still have to give her some face, and said reluctantly: "Yuanyang, go open my box and get 2 taels of silver notes."
The mandarin duck responded, and soon brought the banknote over. Jia Mu looked at the banknote painfully, and said, "These money are the money I have saved over the years. It is not much, but it is also a part of my heart." Alright, let's use it first! This family-saving villa is a big deal, we can't lose empress's face."
Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "Baoyu is thirteen years old, so it's not too young. It's time to see each other." Really, are you still thinking about the little hooves of the Lin family?How can a sick child be worthy of my Baoyu?
Mother Jia waved her hand: "Let's wait until the matter of visiting the family is over, I'm tired too, you should step back first!"
"Daughter-in-law is going down." Madam Wang gritted her teeth, swallowed the unspoken words, and went down obediently.
The others were sent away, and the mandarin ducks waited on Jiamu to rest. Jiamu thought for a while, and shook the mandarin duck's hand: "You look after Xue's house for me, and don't let Baoyu pester him these few days." Sister Bao, it's time to work hard."
Yuanyang smiled softly, and patiently tucked the corners of the quilt for Mother Jia, saying: "Your servant understands, don't worry about the old ancestor. I just said something inappropriate. The servant girl doesn't care much about Baoyu when she looks at Miss Lin."
Jia Mu patted Yuanyang's hand and said with a smile: "The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that they are first cousins, but they don't like it now. After a long time, they will get used to it. What's more, Baoyu is so gentle to girls." Careless."
Yuanyang nodded and stopped talking.
Jia's mother closed her eyes, thinking of Mrs. Wang's words, her heart sank again. The second child's family was getting more and more confused. The old family's Lian'er married Sister Feng from the nine-door admiral's family. money, what else?What's more, the Xue family also has Xue Pan who is unconscious. If she really marries Baochai, she will inevitably be dragged down by the Xue family.
Turning around, Mother Jia thought that Mrs. Wang's arrogance became more and more arrogant these days, and she couldn't help but have a headache. Really, it's not bad that the Xiande Concubine crawled out of her stomach, but Yuan Chun's surname is Jia, the daughter of the Jia family. What is her tail up?Ridiculous!If this goes on like this, it's to show her some color, even if she is not in charge of the family, this Rongguo Mansion is also her territory, so where is it her turn to show off her prestige?
Well, from the beginning to the end, Jia's mother didn't consider the lack of money Mrs. Wang said. In her mind, even if there was no money in the treasury, the Jia family would not be short of money. Her own girl became a noble concubine again. , will get better and better.She didn't think about how much benefit a noble concubine who didn't give birth to a prince could bring to the family?It has to be said that he was blinded by wealth.
Returning to Rongxi Hall angrily, Mrs. Wang waved her hand and threw the cup on the ground. After much deliberation, she was still puzzled, and cursed viciously: "What a godly old woman, she will not be quiet even when she is old. Put my pearl It’s fine for Er and Yuan Chun to take care of her, but now I only have one Baoyu left, and she will harm my Baoyu.”
Jin Chuan hurriedly closed the door, poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Wang, and advised, "Why are you so angry, Ma'am? You are now the mother of Concubine Xiande, who in the whole house is older than you? "
Mrs. Wang said smoothly, "Don't I have rose dew here? You send two bottles to Baochai tomorrow. Just say that I miss her very much, and let her walk towards me."
Jin Chuan quickly agreed, and asked again: "In the end, the ancestors only gave 2 taels. This money is not enough to build the Grand View Garden. What should we do?"
"There is no other way." Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth: "We can only push this matter to Sister Feng and Lian'er. It just so happens that they are the two who are in charge of our mansion, and it is appropriate to let them build the family-saving villa. Go, put Sister Feng, please come." Thinking of this, there was a burst of hatred, how many good things did the old godly woman steal from her small private treasury when she was in charge of the house?How much money was stolen?Now that it's good, she is reluctant to pay for the whole Rongguo Mansion. She is really a money fan!
After hearing Madam Wang's words, Jin Chuan couldn't help but look a little ugly, and went out after answering, but couldn't help thinking in his heart, even when Madam was housekeeper, she also moved all the money in the house to her own small warehouse. In this case, why look down on the ancestors?What's more, everyone knows what's going on in the mansion now, and I'm afraid Second Mistress Lian will add money to it.This is her own niece, but she is really cruel. This family-bestowing villa is a bottomless pit that can't be filled. Jin Chuan shook her head after two beeps. Who does the work.
As soon as Sister Feng heard that Mrs. Wang was looking for her, she came over happily. When she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Wang smiling like a bodhisattva, looking at her tenderly.
"Feng girl, come and sit here. Our mother and I haven't chatted together for a long time." Mrs. Wang smiled and waved.
Sister Feng greeted Ann with a smile, then sat on the chair Mrs. Wang was holding, and said, "Auntie is looking for me, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Wang pushed the dim sum towards her, and said: "Taste this dim sum first. This was given to me by my mother when I went to see my mother two days ago. Do it more delicately."
Sister Feng stretched out her onion fingers and twirled a piece, chewed it slowly, and finally wiped her hands with the handkerchief. Under Mrs. Wang's earnest eyes, she praised, "I'm a fool, but I can also eat this dessert." Come on, it's fragrant and soft, sweet but not greasy. However, my aunt also knows that I am short-tempered, so please tell me what you are looking for today."
Mrs. Wang smiled and told the servant girl: "Get some snacks for Lian's second grandma later, it's rare that I have something she likes." Then she turned her head and said earnestly: "What can be the matter? It’s all about the empress. Three debt collectors were born. Your big brother Zhu is not lucky to live here, and your brother Bao doesn’t need me to worry about it. He is the empress. You and Lian’er will have to spend a lot of money on the matter of the family-sacrificing villa. some thought."
Sister Feng's eyebrows flew into her hair, she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and said: "This is because my aunt thinks highly of me. How dare I say anything else. As long as my aunt says it, I will do my best, and I will do it for you." It's done, isn't it?"
Mrs. Wang felt relieved immediately, and she didn't treat Sister Feng harshly, and directly pushed the silver note that Jia's mother had just given over: "This is the 2 taels of silver note that the old lady just gave, you take it first, and go if you have anything to do." Buying. If you need anything else, you can do whatever you want with so many shops at home.”
Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, looked at the bank note in embarrassment, and remained silent.
Mrs. Wang cursed secretly, turned around and took another small box, took the key from Yu Chuan, opened it, and found another stack of bank notes.Mrs. Wang pushed them all over.Said: "This is just sent by your second aunt a few days ago, 6 taels of silver bill, but I gave it to you."
Sister Feng was a little unhappy, but thinking about such a big project as the family-senting villa, she still took the box and said with a smile: "Auntie, just take a look. I must be the first one to build this family-senting villa. "
