When Jia Lian saw the eunuch coming from the palace, he couldn't help but frown.
However, he still suppressed his temper and ordered people to take the little eunuch who came out of the palace into the inner room to talk. He looked at the little eunuch with a smile and said, "My father-in-law, please sit down!" Ь.
After saying that, Jia Lian scolded the little maid in his room again and said, "Why don't you go and serve tea to my father-in-law?"
Seeing Jia Lian's appearance, the little eunuch also smiled and sat down on the chair.
While the two of them were having tea, Jia Lian asked the young eunuch, "I wonder what this father-in-law is up to?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he said: "Grandpa Xia happened to see a house today, and after a rough calculation, he found that he was short of two hundred taels of silver. Therefore, he sent me to ask about my uncle and grandma's house. If you have ready money, you can borrow one or two hundred for now, and it will be delivered in a day or two."
When did the eunuch in the palace return the money he borrowed?
This was not the first time that Jia Lian received the eunuchs who came down from the palace. They were all greedy masters and white-eyed wolves who couldn't get enough to eat. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you sending here?" If we have some silver, just exchange it first. The same goes for borrowing it some other time when we are short."
The little eunuch said: "Grandpa Xia also said that there were still 1,200 taels of silver that were not delivered the last two times. By the end of this year, I will naturally deliver them all."
Jia Lian didn't take it seriously. In the past, he always said that he was beautiful, but when it came to doing things, it was a lot of bad things. He never saw the money coming back, so he smiled and said: "Your Grandpa Xia is really good." Stingy, this is worth mentioning in mind. Let me say one thing, I am not afraid that he will be too worried. If you remember it clearly and pay it back to us, I don’t know how much you have paid back. I am afraid that there is nothing, but if there is, just take it."
After that, Jia Lian also hurriedly called Wang's daughter-in-law to come into the house. He looked at Wang's daughter-in-law and said, "Go out now. No matter where you go, first go and pay me two hundred taels of silver."
When Wang's daughter-in-law saw this, she understood and said with a smile, "I came here to do it with the second master because I couldn't do it elsewhere."
Jia Lian frowned and said, "You only come here to ask for money, and I can't ask you to do it outside."
After saying that, Jia Lian called Na Gui'er again and said, "Go and think of a way. No matter what, you have to collect the two hundred taels of silver for the time being."
The little eunuch stayed here waiting to get the money.
After receiving Jia Lian's instructions, Gui'er quickly agreed.
After being out for half a day, she couldn't think of a solution. She had no choice but to go to Jia Tanchun.
At this moment, Jia Tanchun was settling accounts in the house. When he was looking at the account books of Rong Guo Mansion and had a headache, he suddenly saw Gui'er in Jia Lian's house looking for him, and asked hurriedly: "Gui'er, what's wrong?"
Gui'er looked at Jia Tanchun and responded hurriedly: "Third Miss, today the eunuch Xia in the palace ordered a young eunuch to go to the second master's house and ask him to borrow two hundred taels of silver. However, the second master couldn't get it at the moment. I couldn’t come up with this money, so I was asked to come up with a solution, but I couldn’t think of any solution, so I came to see the third girl to give me some advice.”
Jia Tanchun was also stunned by the news.
After all, Jia Tanchun had never been exposed to such things before.
However, Jia Tanchun was as smart as Wang Xifeng, and he knew in his heart that he could not afford to offend the eunuch from the palace. Xiu Shuzhu
If she offends the eunuchs in the palace, she will inevitably make life difficult for Concubine Yuan in the palace.
The struggle in the harem has always been fierce.
Therefore, in order not to cause trouble to his sister Jia Yuanchun, Jia Tanchun hurriedly ordered the maidservant in his house to serve as a secretary and said: "Servant, please go to the accountant quickly and spend the two hundred taels of silver in my name." .As for what happens next, it’s not too late to talk about it later.”
After hearing this, the servant hurriedly went to Jia's treasury, took the money back, and gave it to Jia Tanchun.
Jia Tanchun glanced at the silver in front of him. After counting everything correctly, he looked at Na Guier and said, "Take the silver first and accept this test. Let's talk about the rest later!"
After all, Guier took it as expected
Jia Tanchun's silver was wrapped in a brocade bag and taken away.
Not long after, Guier came back
Jia Lian took one look at the money and ordered it to be given to the young eunuch.
The little eunuch also counted the amount and found that it was indeed two hundred taels of silver, so he took the things and went out.
As soon as the little eunuch left, Jia Lian took a deep breath and sighed: "When will this blackmail end? Eunuch Zhou came to our house yesterday and asked for a thousand taels of silver. I was just too slow to respond. He doesn't feel comfortable with this. He's afraid that he will offend a lot of people in the future. It would be great if he could make another three to two million taels of silver at this time."
As he spoke, he also thought of Jia Yun's goodness.
If Jia Yun was in the capital at this moment, I'm afraid Jia Lian could also go to Jia Yun to collect 10,000 taels of silver.
It's a pity that Jia Yun is not at home, which is actually troublesome.
The same thing happened in the nearby Yun Mansion, they also came to extort money.
However, apart from extorting money, he also came here to pass on news.
The young eunuch went to Yun Mansion to find Xiang Ling and said: "The palace has not been very peaceful recently. Something seems to have changed. His Majesty's health has not been good recently and he has coughed up blood. This is urgent news. Please tell me. Pass this news to the second master."
After that, he sat there and stopped talking.
This person was one of the eunuchs Jia Yun sent to the palace before.
Now he has a good relationship with all the eunuchs in the palace. He even considers Xia Shouzhong as his godfather, and he has gained a firm foothold in the palace.
Due to the greed of Xia Shouzhong and others, young eunuchs were often arranged to come out to ask for bribes from these wealthy families, but not just one such family as Rongguo Mansion.
Therefore, this person often had the opportunity to sneak out of the palace in an upright manner, meet with Xiang Ling, and deliver news.
Even if this move is known, it will not arouse anyone's suspicion and investigation. It is also Jia Yun's second way besides asking Jia Tanchun to contact Jia Yuanchun directly.
The longer he lays out this road, the greater the energy he exerts.
Even Emperor Yongtai, as long as the people in charge of affairs in the palace were all under Jia Yun.
Then the whole world is in Jia Yun's pocket. .Ь.
Eunuch, if you use this thing well, it will undoubtedly be your trump card, but it is very powerful!
After Xiangling learned about this, her face was indifferent, as if she didn't feel anything, and she hurriedly ordered the maid Qingwen next to her, saying: "Qingwen, you go to the treasury now to withdraw two thousand taels of silver. , give it to this father-in-law."
Yun Mansion is never short of money.
Jia Yun knew the importance of money, so his official position was high and his business was even bigger.
If he didn't have so much money, how could he maintain such a large expense and system operation?
