Seeing that Jia Lian had already asked Yuanyang, Yuanyang did not intend to stay here any longer, so he immediately stood up, looked at Jia Lian, and said, "Since the second master has also asked clearly, then if there is nothing else As for the matter, I will go back first to avoid the inconvenience that the old lady will not be able to find anyone."
Jia Lian shook his head when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded Yuanyang, and continued: "My good sister, the old lady naturally has other maids waiting in the house. Let's sit down for a while. Brother, I still have something to ask for. I want to ask you for help."
As he said that, Jia Lian scolded the little girls standing next to him and said, "You don't have eyes? Why are you still standing there now? Why don't you go make some tea for your sister to drink! Get it clean quickly." Cover the bowl and make a bowl of the new tea that I served yesterday."
After scolding the aggrieved little girl standing next to him, Jia Lian hurriedly looked at Yuanyang, got closer, and said: "Due to the old lady's age, the total amount of money I have in my hands in the past two days is only a few thousand taels." All the money was taken out and used.
The rents and land taxes in several places in the house can only be collected in September. At this moment, I am also suffering from a lack of money in my hands.
Tomorrow I have to go to Nan'an Mansion to deliver gifts, and I have to prepare gifts for the New Year and festivals, as well as red and white gifts from people close to our family. It will cost at least three to two thousand taels of silver, and it will be difficult in a short time. Go find someone to borrow so much money for turnover.
Even if others are willing, our family is a relative of the emperor, so we cannot lose our dignity. I am afraid that it will be difficult to ask for help, and we will lose the dignity of the empress and the emperor.
As the saying goes, 'It is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
It's hard to say, but my sister is worried about it, so she smuggles out a box of gold and silver that the old lady can't find, and temporarily deposits thousands of taels of silver so that I can survive for a while. xь.
When it comes time to collect land rent and so on in the fall, there will still be something recorded in the account.
I'm afraid it won't take half a year. When the money comes, I will go to the pawn shop to redeem these things and let you return them to the old lady. I will never let my sister end up in a bad situation in front of the old lady and bear the infamy. "
But after Yuanyang listened to Jia Lian's words, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart: This second master is really ridiculous. He actually asked me to do it now. That little pickpocket is here. If the old lady knows about this, I will But it's so damn good.
Yuanyang is just a maid, just a maid.
Even though Jia Mu likes Yuanyang, Yuanyang also knows that there are some things that she cannot do.
Once he does these things and is caught, even if Yuanyang carries Jia Lian out, I am afraid that Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu will not punish Jia Lian, but will punish her on the top of her head. xь.
However, Yuanyang did not dare to refuse Jia Lian directly. He offended Jia Lian so much that his face changed slightly and he said with a smile: "You know how to change your mind. How could you come up with such a bad idea? Go steal the old lady's house. No one would have the guts to see what's inside, and I wouldn't dare."
Jia Lian smiled calmly and then said, "Sister, it's not that I'm lying to you, saying some deceptive words to embarrass you, sister.
It's just such a situation in our family, and you probably understand it in your heart.
In terms of ability and talent, besides my sister, there are also people who can manage thousands of taels of silver, but they are not as understanding and courageous as you.
If I told them, it would frighten them.
So I'd rather hit the golden bell once than break the three thousand drums. "
Just when Jia Lian was flattering Yuanyang, before he could finish his words, suddenly a girl walked in from outside.
Seeing this little girl, everyone knew her and knew that she was the maid in Jia Mu's house.
I saw her hurriedly walking to Jia Lian's house, looking for Yuanyang, and said: "The old lady has been looking for my sister for a long time, but we couldn't find her there, but we didn't expect that my sister would settle here."
When Yuanyang heard that the little girl said that Jia Mu was looking for her, she quickly got up and immediately
Go to see Jia Mu.
Seeing that it was Jia's mother who summoned Yuanyang, Jia Lian didn't dare to stop him, so he had no choice but to let Yuanyang go.
There was no one in the whole room, and Jia Lian cursed unhappily: "What kind of world is this? Thinking about it, in the past few years, our family was also a wealthy family, and there were millions of taels of silver in the treasury. I've never been short of silver for my servants. But now it's good, even with these few thousand taels of silver, I'm in trouble."
Jia Lian does need money.
It is impossible to count on Jia Baoyu for matters inside and outside the mansion.
And Jia Huan was too young and naughty, and was led astray by his biological mother, Aunt Zhao.
Jia She didn't care about anything, he only knew about enjoyment and entertainment, and he was not active even in going to court.
Jia Zheng is now working in another province and cannot come back to take charge of family affairs.
All human exchanges, greetings and send-offs are all handled by Jia Lian alone.
In the past, there was Wang Xifeng next to Jia Lian who was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion. After some frugal searching, he was able to subsidize the family's income and cope with it.
Now, this family is extremely poor.
The monthly expenses in the mansion are very large, and there is very little money that can be recorded.
In addition, Lai Da and others committed crimes, enriched their own pockets, and took the property of Rongguo Mansion for their own use.
Even the master Jia Lian is getting worse day by day, and the worse he gets, the worse he gets.
Even far less powerful than the slave Lai of Rongguo Mansion.
When the Grand View Garden was built, I thought it would bring prosperity to the family, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a source of deep disaster.
So much so that even the current Jia Lian is quite complaining and criticizing about this. He couldn't help but mutter: "In my opinion! Even if the life inside the Grand View Garden is difficult, it can still be better." After coping with it for so many years, now that I have built this big garden, I am in a serious deficit and I am even more unlucky."
The previous dream of royal relatives and relatives has gradually become sober now.
Jia Yuanchun was named a noble concubine, and the treatment and blessings she enjoyed did not fall on the Jia family.
On the contrary, because of this incident, the Jia family's economy became increasingly difficult and fell into an abyss.
Just as Jia Lian was meditating, another person came outside.
Someone came in and replied: "Second Master, Taifu Xia sent a young eunuch to speak."
After hearing this, Jia Lian quickly cheered up, frowned slightly, and said, "What the hell are you talking about again? They have been coming here again and again throughout the year. After one year, they are about to vacate our house." It’s time to be content, everyone!”
It turned out that Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace in the palace, sent someone to ask for bribes again.
He had no money in his hands. He was short of money. How could he still have money to use to bribe the senior eunuchs and junior eunuchs in the palace?
