When Mrs. Wang saw that Lin Daiyu and others had said this, she really couldn't find any reason to argue back and forth.
What's more, Yun Mansion is now much more powerful than Rongguo Mansion. Even Concubine Yuan in the palace still needs to rely on Jia Yun for help outside. Even though Mrs. Wang is not happy with Jia Yun's actions, she still He could only do nothing, shook his head helplessly and said: "Well, now that the matter has come to this, what else can we do? Let him go! Amitabha.".net
Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Madam, please relax! With the relationship between our two families, isn't Brother Yun still not talking to our family in his heart? It must have been delayed due to some other reasons, otherwise, Yun My brother would never do this."
Mrs. Wang said: "Yes, I just hope he will be kind!"
After that, Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered someone to bring some small gadgets to Jia Tanchun, put them in a box, and put them in the box for Jia Tanchun to take away when he left.
Jia Tanchun took a look at the items in the box, and found that most of them were worthless items. He thought they must have been obtained by Mrs. Wang from elsewhere and transferred to her.
However, she did not reject Mrs. Wang's kindness and accepted it.
Just when Jia Tanchun stood up to leave, Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "Daughter, why is the money in this warehouse getting less and less? In the past few years, there was not so little, but now I asked Lai Da, but There is not much silver left.”
Mrs. Wang's words forced Jia Tanchun back. The economic problems of Rongguo Mansion had been going on for a long time, and it was basically the people in front of them who were losing money.
It was passed from Mrs. Wang to Wang Xifeng, and later after Wang Xifeng got into trouble, it fell into the hands of Jia Tanchun.
When Jia Tanchun went to check the accounts and inquire about the matter, she found that there was no way to save the day. The entire Rongguo Mansion's accounts were a mess. No matter how she tried to calculate, she couldn't figure it out clearly. It was already in such tatters. There is almost no way to save it.
Now when Jia Tanchun heard Mrs. Wang talking about this matter, he was extremely embarrassed: "Madam, I don't dare to take any more money from this family. Even the monthly money sent every month is not enough." They are all distributed after my wife’s budget has been met. However, there are many people in our family who are doing nothing but earning money, so there is always no income. It is really difficult to make ends meet, not to mention that such a grand view garden has been built in recent years. It was also a waste of time and effort, and I didn’t see a single harvest.”
"Okay! Okay, don't talk about it anymore." When she mentioned the construction of the Grand View Garden, Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly. She immediately stopped Jia Tanchun and said displeasedly: "This is for Concubine Yuan. Yes, she is my daughter, this is what should be done, and you are also my daughter. Don’t worry about your own family over such trivial matters, as it will appear to be ungenerous.”
After saying that, Mrs. Wang waved her hands in a bad mood and said, "That's all, go down! I want to rest too!"
Seeing Mrs. Wang chasing people away, Jia Tanchun hurriedly walked out of Mrs. Wang's house. After going out, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "How can a weak woman like me maintain this business?"
Butler, steward, these two words are easy to say but difficult to do!
It was only at this moment that Jia Tanchun suddenly realized that the thing he had dreamed of before was so hot, like a volcanic hell, pulling him away from peace.
If time could go back, Jia Tanchun would never take over such a mess.
In the past, Jia Tanchun thought that Wang Xifeng was very powerful. The position of the housekeeper was in charge of all the big and small things in the house. He was quite powerful. He was envious and thought about the housekeeper.
But after he actually asked Jia Tanchun to take care of the house, he realized how powerful this was and how he couldn't escape.
After Jia Tanchun left, someone came over again, but it was Jin Chuan'er, the maid in Mrs. Wang's house.
She came over and looked at Jia Tanchun and said, "Miss Three."
"It turns out to be Jinchuan'er! You scared me just now. Why are you hiding here and suddenly jumping out? Could it be that you have something to talk to me about alone?" Jia Tanchun is a smart person. , immediately understood what Jin Chuaner meant, and hurriedly pulled Jin Chuan'er
Chui'er went to the room inside to talk.
After Jin Chuan'er followed Jia Tanchun to the inner room, she looked at Jia Tanchun and said, "I recently received a letter from the master, saying that he was short of money in his hands and couldn't be careful. He wanted money for everything. Jiedu a few days ago I also gave you a lot of money for your birthday, even ten thousand taels of silver, I treat it like water."
Jia Tanchun hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you mean, the master is going to ask us for money from the treasury? Tell me! How much silver does the master need?"
Hearing this, Jin Chuan'er said seriously: "My wife is not very literate, so I asked my literate nanny to read the letter next to me. I also eavesdropped on some of it. She said that she wanted three thousand taels of silver to help with the emergency. I'm afraid it's not enough. This is just a temporary amount, and I may ask for more in the future.”
"Ah! Three thousand taels of silver? Why do you need so much in one breath?" Jia Tanchun was also surprised when he heard this. He never expected that Jia Zheng was not only getting richer and richer when he was an official outside, but also On the contrary, they are getting poorer and poorer.
Jia Tanchun was extremely confused and asked doubtfully: "Don't ordinary people say that one term of office is worth ten thousand taels of silver? How come this master in our family is getting poorer and poorer? What you just said is incredible. Are you serious! You're not lying to me?"
Jin Chuan'er shook her head helplessly and said: "Third Miss, how dare I lie to you! Who among the people in this house doesn't know how powerful you are? Even though I have that intention, I also It can’t be hidden from the girl’s eyes. What’s more, this matter is something that both the wife and the mothers know. Girl, you only need to ask someone to know whether what I said is true or false.”
"This..." At this moment, Jia Tanchun was also speechless as he asked the sky.
Her father was too pedantic. She couldn't understand what her father Jia Zheng was thinking. It would be better for him to be an official if others were to be officials and get promoted and make money. He also needed money from his own family to support those outside. How can this last?
Rongguo Mansion is not a pawnshop, let alone the imperial household department, so how can it use so much money to supplement external affairs?
Even if you can come up with so much money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to feed the evil wolves outside.
For a time, Jia Tanchun could already foresee that in the near future, his father Jia Zheng would become increasingly poor and need to continue to suck money from the Rongguo Mansion to maintain his livelihood and official career.
