Jia Lian sighed and said, "I just pawned some money with Yuanyang a while ago. Unexpectedly, my wife over there knew about this matter.
Now I am still thinking about this matter, how did the wife know about it?
Just now, my wife called Jin Chuan'er to call me over and asked me to move the two hundred silver wherever I went to use it during the festival on August 15th.
I have nowhere to move.
The wife said, "You have a place to move if you don't have money. I discussed it with you in vain, but you just prevaricated me, and you just said there was no place."
Where did you think the one thousand pieces of silver was from? You even have magical powers to get out the old lady's things. Now you have two hundred silver, and that's all you have.
Fortunately I didn't tell anyone else.
I think my wife is clearly not short of money, so why bother coming to trouble anyone? "
After hearing this, Miss Duo also pondered: "Think about it carefully. When you went to borrow money from Yuanyang, was there an outsider present, or was it eavesdropping?
If outsiders can be found, they will know who leaked the news. "
After Jia Lian heard this, he also thought carefully about who was here that day.
He thought about it for a long time and said with a smile: "That's right. When I spoke that day, I said there was no outsider, but when it was time to deliver things in the evening, the old lady's stupid sister's mother happened to come to deliver laundry.
She sat in the lower room for a while, and when she saw a large box of things, she naturally wanted to ask. The little girls must not know, and even if she told them, they would not know. "
So Jia Lian called a few little girls to ask who told Sister Dai's mother that day.
The little girls panicked, and they all knelt down and swore, "Jiraiya didn't dare to say another word.
Whenever anyone asked anything, they all said they didn't know.
How dare you say more about this? "
Many girls also knew how courageous the maids in the house were, and said in detail: "Looking at their appearance, I must not dare to look at them, but don't wrong them.
Now let’s put this matter aside and send my wife away.
It would be better for us to be shorter than to be boring. "
Jia Lian showed a bitter look when he heard this and said, "I don't have any money in my hand! I don't have any money at all."
I went out to eat and have fun before, so what kind of money do I have with me?
If I really had money, I wouldn't complain to you here. "
Many girls also frowned when they heard that Jia Lian had no money left.
She is just the cook's wife, but she has no money.
Immediately, the girls looked at Jia Lian and came up with a bad idea: "There are many girls in this family, why don't you go to them and borrow this money?"
If you don't go to the girls to borrow money, you can also go to the maids to talk about the matter.
I heard that the monthly salary of a first-class maid is quite high.
The wives rewarded me with food and clothing at home, but I couldn't afford much money.
Maybe they have money? "
For a moment, Jia Lian was in a dilemma and suddenly looked at the box in the distance.
That was the box Wang Xifeng left behind.
Wang Xifeng was caught suddenly, and most of the dowry she brought with her back then was kept here.
Jia Lian couldn't lose his face and went to Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun and other sisters from Rongguo Mansion to borrow money, thinking of selling Wang Xifeng's dowry in exchange for money to tide over this difficulty.
Many girls also followed Jia Lian's eyes and looked at the box.
Many girls know these things.
It's just that she didn't dare to touch or steal the contents of the box.
No one in the house dared to do this except myself.
At that time, once the matter is exposed, so many girls will be unlucky.
Jia Lian went to open the box, took out the gold collar from the box, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is a good thing, it must be worth some money."
After that, Jia Lian closed the box again.
Son, take the gold collar and go out to temporarily deposit a few hundred silver.
Send it to finish.
The girl looked at the box, greedy thoughts gradually appearing in her eyes.
She was a small character to begin with, but now that she saw the value of the things inside, she pondered in her heart: "Normally no one comes to check these things, so even if I steal them, it will be fine."
Jia Lian is now poor and has no money in his hands.
Many girls naturally want to plot other things.
Immediately, many girls secretly stole the contents.
The first time she stole, she didn't dare to take too much, so she only took a few things.
When they took it away, the girl blushed and her heart beat violently, and she was very afraid that her actions would be discovered.
However, after a long time, Jia Lian did not send anyone to inquire.
The girl's thoughts became more and more bold.
Jia Lian took the largest gold necklace in Wang Xifeng's dowry and ran out to mortgage it.
I originally planned to mortgage two hundred taels of silver temporarily.
But Jia Lian felt that his money was tight, and he was afraid that two hundred taels of silver would not be enough to spend.
Even if Yue Xingduo mortgaged two hundred silver, after all, Jia Lian felt that he had a place to use the silver.
But he said that Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng's dowry to pledge the money and gave his wife two hundred taels of silver as a messenger.
Many girls are getting bolder and bolder, having more greedy thoughts and becoming less and less restrained.
A few days later, after Jia Lian spent all the money in his hands, he thought about getting Wang Xifeng's dowry, mortgage and pawn it again. However, when he opened the box, he suddenly discovered something unusual and wrong.
He looked at the contents of the box carefully and said, "There used to be a pair of Kodama bracelets in this box, but why are they gone now?"
For a moment, Jia Lian pondered in his heart and hurriedly searched around, but never found the pair of jade bracelets.
At this moment, Jia Lian couldn't help but stroke his forehead, thinking about it, but he always felt something was wrong.
The girl next to him came in, looked at Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "Second Master Lian, what's wrong?"
Jia Lian was not a confused person. He immediately realized that he must be someone with unclean hands in the family who had stolen his own things. He looked at the girl and said, "It seems that the things in my house are missing. They must be." It was stolen."
Many girls looked embarrassed and frightened when they heard this, and a hint of panic flashed deep in their eyes.
Jia Lian couldn't bear this anger, so he called the maid in the house to ask about the matter.
When the maids heard this, they all said they didn't know anything: "Second Master Lian, we really don't know about this!"
Suddenly a maid looked at Miss Duo and said, "I saw Miss Duo coming out of Master Lian's house before. I don't know anything else."
Seeing the Dong Chuang incident, Miss Duo was also frightened and defended herself: "Second Master Lian, don't listen to these people's words. I love you. I even gave you my body. How can I still harm you?" "
Jia Lian also saw the clues when he heard this, but he didn't want to argue with Duo girls.
