Jia Huan was a little curious. In the Red Mansions book, the Jia family seemed to have built the Grand View Garden easily. Didn't the Jia family borrow so much money from east to west?
Why are you so poor now that you have to use the Rongguo Mansion as collateral to borrow money? Just borrow five hundred thousand taels of silver in return?
After thinking for a moment, Jia Huan suddenly thought of a question.
By the way, because of my time travel, the development of the timeline is much different from that in the book.
In The Book of Red Mansions, when the Rongguo Mansion built the Grand View Garden, Lin Ruhai had already donated it to Yangzhou City.
Jia Lian had also brought all the Lin family's property to the Jia family, which was three to two million taels of silver.
With this money, it would be easy for the Jia family to build a grand view garden.
But now, Lin Ruhai is not dead, and the Lin family's property has not come to Jia's house.
Without this money, the Jia family would not be able to afford the money to build the Grand View Garden.
Jia Huan was about to refuse Jia Mu because he had no money. The most he could pay was 50,000 taels of silver, and he would lose even one more.
As a result, before he could speak, Jia She asked: "Wait a minute, mother, the total of one million taels of silver to build the Provincial Family Courtyard is as high as the sky. I remember that when we separated, we still had more than 600,000 taels of silver." .”
"Now that we still have the money that our brothers and juniors have paid for, why do we still need to borrow five hundred thousand taels of silver from Brother Huan?"
Jia Mu actually didn't want to mention this matter.
Because as long as this matter is brought up, Jia She will definitely not let it go and will definitely make a mess.
She also deliberately ignored it.
Unexpectedly, the boss heard something fishy and asked about it.
Jia's mother couldn't help but said: "There were originally 600,000 taels of silver in the warehouse. But in order to improve the inspection of the nine provinces, Wang Ziteng needed to go up and down and borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from my family. Therefore, now he wants to build a provincial hospital. , so I have to borrow money from Brother Huan."
Hearing this, Jia Huan's face showed a thoughtful look.
As expected, the Wang family all come from the same origin, and they are all vicious and vicious.
This Wang Ziteng not only obtained the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp through the connections of the Jia family, but also rose through the ranks.
If he just borrowed the Jia family's connections, that's all. He even borrowed the money from the Jia family.
Jia She asked again: "This is strange again. The Wang family borrowed money from our family. Can't we just ask the Wang family to pay us back? Why do we need to borrow from Brother Huan?"
Jia Mu said helplessly: "The Wang family can't afford so much money at the same time. Now the most they can take is three to fifty thousand taels of silver. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, so we can only borrow money from Brother Huan first?"
Jia She sneered and said: "Mother, my son doesn't understand yet. How can there be such a truth in this world? The second son's family emptied the wealth of my Jia family and lent money to her mother's family. Now we have to mortgage Rongguo Mansion borrows money from others?"
Jia Mu closed her eyes and said tiredly: "It's just a temporary loan. This money was borrowed from the second fan, and it will eventually be repaid by the second fan. I just used Rong Guo Mansion as a mortgage."
Jia She sneered: "What if we can't pay back the second house, or don't want to pay it back? Is it possible that we can really mortgage the Rongguo Mansion by then? Since there is a mortgage, and the Wang family borrowed our money, why not mortgage the Wang family? Woolen cloth?"
Hearing this, Jia Mu said sternly: "Fart! How can our family borrow money from a relative's house as a mortgage?"
Jia She sneered and said, "So my mother also knows this? How can it be reasonable for the second bedroom to borrow money as a mortgage on the Rongguo Mansion? Could it be that in my mother's heart, she has already tacitly agreed to divide the Rongguo Mansion to the second bedroom?"
Jia She is the eldest son. Not only can he inherit the title, but he also needs to inherit the Rongguo Mansion.
Now Jia Mu is taking the belongings of the first house as a mortgage and borrowing money from the second house.
Jia Mu said angrily: "I'm not dead yet! Are you thinking about separating the family now?"
Jia She sneered and said: "Mother, I never mentioned the separation of the family. Anyway, I don't agree with using the Rongguo Mansion as a mortgage. Let the second brother find his own way with the money lent by the second brother."
"My son is also puzzled. It is obvious that the second wife has emptied the Jia family's family assets, and now they have to use the money and they won't get it back. Why is my mother always targeting me like this? Is it possible that in my mother's heart, only the second wife is the only one? Never? Do you know the existence of my big room?"
Mother Jia was so angry that she gasped violently and was speechless for a moment.
Yuanyang quickly supported Jia Mu and patted her back.
Jia Huan watched a good show from the side, and even he felt that the old lady Jia Mu was very partial.
Why should such a prodigal daughter-in-law be kept here if she had not been driven back early? Celebrating the New Year at home?
The Grand View Garden must be built. After all, he is now the patriarch of the Jia family... If a provincial residence cannot be built, he will be embarrassed.
But at the same time, he didn't want to throw money away in vain, unless it was...
Thinking of this, Jia Huan suddenly said: "Ancestor, eldest master, why are you arguing about this matter?"
"It's better than this. This provincial villa will be built by me, Ningguo Mansion, at no cost from you. All the expenses will be borne by Ningguo Mansion."
Hearing this, Jia Mu couldn't help being surprised and happy.
She couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huan, are you telling the truth? We don't need to pay? Are you going to pay all the expenses?"
Jia Huan nodded and said, "My grandson can't bear to see his ancestors in trouble. It's naturally true."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's perfect!"
At this time, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked: "Brother Huan, I wonder which house this provincial residence will belong to after it is built?"
Jia Huan glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Second Madam, this is strange. The garden built with money from my Ningguo Mansion can still be considered as belonging to your Rongguo Mansion?"
"If the second wife even fights for this, then the second wife should find a way to raise the money to build it herself. I don't dare to interfere."
After a conversation, Mrs. Wang was called the second wife, which made Mrs. Wang feel ashamed, annoyed and angry. Her face turned red and she was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Jia Zheng said: "Brother Huan, you are a good person. I read you right! You will pay for the construction of this courtyard. After it is completed, it will naturally belong to Ningguo Mansion."
"And after all, the imperial concubine is my daughter. This provincial residence was also built for the imperial concubine to visit her. As a father, I cannot help but express that I am willing to pay fifty thousand taels of silver."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Then the old woman will also offer fifty thousand taels. If Brother Huan really doesn't have enough money, he can come to the old woman for it."
Jia's mother and Jia Zheng had already taken the money. Jia She held it for a long time before saying, "Then I'll take 10,000 taels of silver."
Jia Lian was one level lower than Jia She and received five thousand taels of silver.
After everyone had finished speaking, Jia Mu added, "Don't just talk nonsense. The old woman and Brother Huan are waiting here. You go home to get it. I will send you all the money today." Let Brother Huan start work early."
At this moment, the more Jia Huan looked at her, the more he found Jia Mu, an old lady, pleasing to his eyes.
