The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 347 Silver
The emperor couldn't sleep all night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he thought about it all night.Finally, he made up his mind to have a child with Jia Yingchun, as the Supreme Emperor said, to leave a way for the future.If I succeed, everything is easy to say, and this child is not important, but if I really fail, no matter whether it is deposed or killed, I think Jia Ke will not kill Jia Yuanchun's child.

In this way, whether it is Jia Ke seeking to usurp the throne, or to be that Cao Cao, he will leave a way out for the future of his bloodline.

Within a few days, news spread from the Kungfu Palace that the emperor suddenly decreed that on the second and sixth of every month, the family members of Zhunjiaofang would enter the palace to pay their respects.Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Emperor cooperated with the Emperor.An even more outrageous decree was issued. In addition to the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, anyone who has a home in Chongyu other courtyard who can be stationed in the pass for defense may wish to invite the inner court Luanyu to enter his private residence, so that the common people can share their kinship and love. Family fun.

For a time, there were concubines in the palace, and everyone cheered.And the Jia Mansion was no exception, since they got the news, they all started to move.These people have nothing enough for this illusory glory, and they go to Jia Zheng's place every day, so that Jia Zheng immediately decides to build a family-visiting villa in the mansion, so that the family can wait for the mother-in-law to go home to visit her relatives.

And these people didn't think about how much money to spend at all. In their minds, they didn't pay for the money, and they could gain some glory. Whether it's doing business or meeting friends, they will have a bright face when they go out in the future. Happy not to do it.

That night, as soon as Jia Ke returned home, he heard someone report that the master asked him to go to Meng Pozhai to discuss something important.

When Jia Ke got the news, she didn't even have time to eat, so she left the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion and went straight to Jia Zheng's small study, Mengpozhai.

When Jia Ke arrived at Mengpozhai, he found Jia Zheng sitting in the middle, and even Jia Zhu and Jia Lian who had just returned to Rongguo Mansion were also there.

Jia Lian sent Sister Lin south this time, and it took several months to go there. The reason was that Lin Ruhai still couldn't afford to fall ill like in the dream of the Red Chamber, so she went there not long after.

Among Lin Ruhai's close relatives, Lin Daiyu was the only one. She was a little girl who only cried bitterly after Lin Ruhai passed away.In addition, many distant relatives of the Lin family came to make trouble, wanting to divide Lin Ruhai's property.

Fortunately, Jia Lian was sitting there, and with a roar, all these distant relatives were driven away.These relatives all knew the history of the Rongguo Mansion, so they didn't dare to confront Jia Lian, and even if they sued the government, no official would dare to take their case.So I can only go back to my hometown in despair.

After Jia Lian sold all of Lin Ruhai's property, he took the silver and Lin Daiyu on the official boat, and then slowly returned to Rongguo Mansion.But this time he went to Yangzhou and made a lot of money, and there were also tens of thousands of silver cars.

When Jia Zhu and Jia Lian saw Jia Ke coming in, they hurried forward to salute him. Jia Ke bowed to them, then came to Jia Zheng, bowed and saluted Jia Zheng, "Son, salute to father."

"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite." Jia Zheng raised his hand to support him, and then said, "Since you are here, please sit down. I have something to talk to you about today."

So Jia Ke took the seat, Jia Zhu was next to Jia Ke, and Jia Lian sat opposite Jia Ke.

Jia Zheng said to the three of them after seeing that they were done, "I think you have also received the news. This time, the emperor's kindness and decree will allow our mother to go home to visit relatives. What do you think about this matter?"

Jia Lian first said excitedly: "This is the great grace of the emperor. I heard that Concubine Zhou's father has started work at home to build a family courtyard. Wu Tianyou, the father of Concubine Wu, also went to the house of Concubine Wu. I went outside the city to look around. I just don’t know what the rules of our family are.”

Jia Zheng then said to them: "Our mother has been away from home for so many years, and finally got this opportunity, so I have to take it back for her to see."

Jia Zheng's words set the rules, and he decided to take Jia Yuanchun back and build a provincial villa.

Among them, Jia Zhu is quite sober. Ever since he almost lost his life in his eagerness for quick success, he has started to cultivate his moral character and cast aside his former impatience.

"I have no objection to my father taking my sister back to visit the relatives. It's just that if the family visitation villa is to be built, your family's financial resources may not be enough." Jia Zhu directly pointed out the current situation of Jia's mansion.

Jia Zheng never cared about these common affairs, so he turned to look at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian knew the meaning of housekeeping at a glance, and said hastily: "If we say that our family has a little surplus every year, it is indeed not enough to build a family-saving villa."

Jia Zheng frowned when he heard this, and then looked at Jia Ke, which meant that Jia Ke should pay the money.

How could Jia Ke throw money into this puddle, but it's not good if he can't tell, "Father, son, although I am the head minister of the military aircraft department, my time is short after all, and I don't get along with those literati. Deal with it. Therefore, most of the income comes from the fields in Xuanfu Town. I’m afraid I can’t afford that much, the son can draw 10 taels from his father in Wuyanghou’s Mansion at most.”

Jia Lian at the bottom felt that it was about the same after hearing what Jia Ke said. Jia Ke would give another 5 taels to his family every year, and his income was roughly that. It's not bad, can't let him empty out the Wuyang Hou Mansion?

Jia Zheng was in a bit of a dilemma at this time. If he didn't have silver taels, he wouldn't have the ability to build a villa even if he was thinking about it.

At this time, Jia Lian's eyes turned quickly, and then he took two steps forward lightly, and came to Jia Zheng's side, "There will still be a sum of money that can be used, but I don't know if it should be used or not."

As soon as Jia Zheng heard it, he immediately understood what was going on. There was only one time when Jia Lian brought back 80 million taels of silver from Yangzhou, which was Lin Ruhai's dowry to Lin Daiyu.

At this moment, Jia Zheng was in a dilemma. Although Lin Daiyu was still young and it would take some years before she got married, Jia Zheng felt uneasy if she used the money secretly.

"Master, it's not like we won't pay it back after we use it. With the current situation of our family, we can almost save up the money for Sister Lin when she gets married. We're just using it temporarily, it's nothing." Jia Lian persuaded from the side, in fact, he still had another idea in his mind, that is to look at the appearance of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and the old lady's thoughts.These two people will definitely be a couple in the future, if they don't have to pay back the money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

Jia Ke listened to Jia Lian's words and almost laughed out loud. Given the current income of the Jia family, it would be impossible to get the money together in seven or eight years.

Although Jia's mansion is no longer unable to make ends meet, but with the 5 taels of silver given by Jia Ke every year, it would be nice to be able to save 3 to 80 taels a year.If you want to collect the seven or eight million taels of silver, it will take three to forty years.

Jia Ke didn't want to care about it at first, but when she thought of Lin Daiyu's tragic ending in the Dream of the Red Chamber, she couldn't help feeling a little sore in her heart, so she stepped forward and said to the housekeeper, "Father, I think this is a good idea. In fact, we don't even have to pay back the money. "

Jia Zheng immediately became angry, and shouted loudly: "You have also read the sage's book, don't you have any etiquette and shame, do you still want to take this money behind your back?"

The relationship between Jia Lian and Jia Ke has been good since childhood. When Jia Ke said that sentence just now, he understood what it meant. Now that Jia Zheng reprimanded Jia Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain to him, "Master wrongly blamed elder brother. , Big Brother means that looking at the old lady means that he wants to ration Sister Lin to Baoyu. In this way, Sister Lin can be considered as a member of our family, so there is no need to pay back the money."

Jia Ke nodded hurriedly beside her, "Father, that's exactly what I mean. I usually see that Sister Lin and Baoyu are so close. And thinking about the old lady's mind, I also like them. If the two of them Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to be able to form a good relationship for a hundred years?"

This was the first time that Jia Zheng heard someone mention Daiyu and Baoyu's marriage. Jia Zheng had never thought about it before.Hearing what the two of them said at this time, I also felt that this was also a solution.In this way, Jia's mansion can not only build a family-friendly villa, but also avoid the famine.Otherwise, in order to save money for Lin Daiyu's dowry, I am afraid that the Jia family will have to live in poverty for a few years.

Seeing that Jia Zheng seemed to agree, Jia Ke hurriedly said while the iron was hot: "It's better to make an agreement between the two of them in advance, and wait a few years before getting married. This can be regarded as a clear road, and we have a way to talk about the money. "

When Jia Lian heard about this method, he also thought it was a good idea. You must know that the quality of life in Jia's mansion has become more extravagant than before because of Jia Ke's position and status over the years.

"Master, I think the elder brother's words are the only way at present. There must be no news about stealing other people's dowry money in our family." Jia Lian gave Jia Ke's reluctance to help.

When Jia Zhu heard what Jia Ke and Jia Lian said, she thought about it for a while and thought it was good.He has been recuperating in the backyard, and he often hears from his wife that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are as good as one person. If they can be paired together, it will be the best of both worlds. Otherwise, if Lin Daiyu does not marry Jia Baoyu In the future, what kind of good family will dare to marry such a woman? Isn't this killing my cousin?
So Jia Zhu also cupped his hands and said to Jia Zheng: "Father, it is always said that there are different seats at the age of seven, and Baoyu and Sister Lin have been together for a while. If Sister Lin is not promised to Baoyu, what will Sister Lin do in the future?"

At this time, Jia Zheng stroked his beard and kept nodding. Jia Zheng was always pedantic, and after hearing Jia Zhu's words, he felt reasonable. Their Rongguo Mansion should not lose the reputation of being a villain.

He also thinks this is a way to get the best of both worlds. If Lin Daiyu marries Jia Baoyu, he can take care of her nearby, which can be regarded as an explanation to his sister, and there will be no hindrance to her reputation in Rongguo Mansion.

"So, I will discuss it with the old lady in a day or two. If the old lady agrees, we will write a marriage letter for them first, and we will marry them when your sister Lin is out of filial piety and the two of them are old enough." It's not too late." Jia Zheng felt relieved now, he felt that there was no better way to be able to live up to his sister's entrustment and take his daughter home to have a look.
