Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.
Since the news came out from Yun Mansion yesterday that Jia Yun is coming back, the visits between the two houses have become more frequent recently, especially Jia Lian and Jia She are in a good mood. It seems that as long as Jia Yun comes back, life will always be happy. It will be better than it is now.
Recently, they have really been unable to make ends meet, their money is tight, and they are short of money.
There was not much money in the treasury, and it could not withstand their spending of several thousand taels of silver each time.
Therefore, it was difficult for Jia Tanchun to circulate money for them. Some people in the Jia Mansion also saw that the current economic situation of Rongguo Mansion was not good, so they planned to come over and borrow money before Rongguo Mansion was completely exhausted. , thinking that he would not pay back the money in the future, so he would simply let it go. .Ь.
As a result, the economy of Rongguo Mansion is getting worse and worse. If they don't come to borrow money now, they are afraid that they will not be able to borrow money in the future, and there will be no way to get any benefits from Rongguo Mansion.
For example, Xia Shouzhong in the palace, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace knew that the economic situation of Rongguo Mansion was not good, so he came to ask for bribes many times, begging for more money, and wanted to eat in one go so that he could become the Rongguo Mansion. After being in trouble, there is no income.
If the eunuchs in the palace are like this, there is no need to say more about the people of the Jia family.
Some outsiders and people with lower status can still fool them.
However, those Jia clan members with status and status cannot help but borrow money when they come to borrow money.
This is like money in a bank. Suddenly there is news that the bank is short of money. People are worried that the money they have in the bank cannot be withdrawn. They will definitely go to the bank to withdraw money, for fear that their principal will not be protected, thus causing the entire bank to Being bankrupted.
The building will collapse, and the economic situation of Rongguo Mansion cannot be fundamentally reversed.
Then the trouble will come.
Amid internal and external troubles, Jia Tanchun was helpless.
Jia Lian didn't care about this anymore, and began to think about letting Yuanyang steal some items from Jia's mother and sell them to supplement the family income.
Today, Jia Lian ordered someone to call Yuanyang and said with a smile: "Yuanyang, what happened to the things I asked you to do before? Is there any result?"
Yuanyang saw Jia Lian asking about this matter, and recalled Jia Mu's reaction after he reported the matter to Jia Mu before. He also nodded and said, "At midnight tonight, I will put these things in a box and order people to do so." Take it out, Second Master, just do what you want!"
Since Jia Mu didn't speak after learning about Jia Lian's actions, Yuanyang knew what Jia Mu was thinking.
After all, Yuanyang has been with Jia Mu for many years, so he naturally knows Jia Mu's temper and character.
Jia Mu's silence was actually acquiescence or permission.
After all, it is unlikely that Mother Jia would directly tell Jia Lian and others that as long as you like everything in my house, you can take it as you like.
If you say this, how can you get it?
Once this matter is known to Mrs. Xing and others, how can it cause chaos in Rongguo Mansion?
Jia Zheng and Jia She are both sons of Jia Mu.
After Jia's mother dies, the jewelry, jade, silver, etc. in her house will be taken out and divided.
Jia She may get some of it.
Jia Zheng should also get a part.
The water inside is uneven and the trouble will be even greater.
Therefore, when Jia's mother learned from Yuanyang that Jia Lian asked Yuanyang to steal items in her house and sell them as pawns to make up for the family income, she didn't say anything.
If she doesn't speak, she can pretend to be blind, just pretend she can't see.
Naturally, Jia Lian didn't know the secret here, but when Yuanyang agreed to help him go to Jia Mu's house to steal items and sell them, he quickly smiled gratefully and said, "Sister, you have helped me a lot this time. !」
After that, Jia Lian flattered Yuanyang again, and he didn't have the face to be a master at all.
The status of the slaves and maids seems to be higher than him.
Seeing him like this, Yuanyang couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Second Master, this matter is top secret. Don't let outsiders know about it. Otherwise, if word spreads, the whole family will be in trouble."
Jia Lian was naturally aware of the seriousness of this matter, so he nodded quickly and responded, "Well, I know in my heart that I will never mention this matter to others."
With that said, Yuanyang said goodbye to Jia Lian, returned to Jia Mu's house, and began to prepare for this matter. xь.
.......
Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu's house.
Yuanyang looked at Jia Mu and reported, "Old lady, Mr. Lian asked me to take some things from the house and sell them. I don't know what the old lady means..."
Jia Mu glanced at Yuanyang, sighed, and said, "Our family's situation is getting worse year by year. In fact, there is nothing I can do. Since they want these things from me, I think it's them anyway. Yes, just take care of it!"
At this moment, Jia Mu is just like those low-level people in feudal society. They can see their future destiny, but are unable to struggle and make any changes.
Poor people, can’t they really see their future?
It’s really because I can see clearly that I live in pain and confusion.
Just like people who have given up hope in life, they know that their destiny is hard to break, so they don't do things and mess up.
Jia Mu is also getting older.
As people get older, they become timid and fearful of change and innovation, so they have to make some changes.
For Jia Mu, instead of struggling and working hard when she is seventy or eighty years old, it is better to just lie down and die.
People are over seventy and will soon be eighty.
A figure with half of his body buried in the ground.
Even if the old man's neck is almost gone, what else can Jia Mu expect to do on her own?
One breath of life.
The breath of heart in people's hearts is gone, and it will be useless no matter who comes.
At this moment, Jia Mu seemed to be a lifeless person, living one day was just one day. Xiu Shuzhu
Those who are seventy or eighty years old and can still call Lian Po old and still able to make a living have been in the minority throughout the ages.
People like Jia Mu are the majority.
Jia Mu is not stupid, but her mentality has collapsed and she has lost the spirit of a young person.
When people grow old and turn into ashes, they rest in their graves and count their days.
A life of muddling along.
What amazing changes can be made?
Yuanyang also noticed Jia Mu's tiredness and stopped talking. Instead, she silently turned around and went to the room inside to pick out some valuable items and prepare to take them out to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian, on the other hand, was extremely excited.
When Jia Lian thought about it, as long as he could get good things from Jia Mu and sell them outside, he would be able to get thousands of taels of silver.
I can once again live a good life of eating and drinking.
