Chapter 23: Adding Blessings
Where does it come from?
Isn't this copied?
It was your eldest son who copied it.
Madam Wang's chest heaved, and she wanted to have a big fight with Shen Ning, but she looked at the eight strong women surrounding her, all with feather dusters on their waists...
Hiss~Feather duster?
Thinking of what happened to Aunt Twelve in the school yesterday, and that this eldest sister-in-law was once a clan member, Mrs. Wang suddenly calmed down and was speechless on the spot.
Grandmother Jia hated her second daughter-in-law the most for her stupid behavior of always letting her down. Seeing that she backed down again, she could only do it herself. "Mrs. Shen," she suppressed her anger and played the emotional card. "Although you are only my niece's wife, you should check your conscience and tell me how your aunt has treated you over the years. She treated you like her own daughter-in-law!"
To be honest, when Jia Jing was still well, she really liked Shen Ning.
He even felt lucky that the Jia family could marry her.
The daughter of Grand Secretary Shen is worthy of being the headmistress of the Jia family.
With her and Jia Jing around, the three generations of the Jia family will be safe.
But who could have thought that Prince Yi Zhong would do something bad? The sky above changed, and the sky of the Jia family naturally changed as well.
The Shen family today is no longer the Shen family of the past.
As for the Jia family..., the Ning and Rong mansions, after looking around, she felt that only Zhu'er and Baoyu would have a bright future.
Both of them were born to Wang.
With the addition of her eldest granddaughter Yuanchun, who was born on New Year's Day, Grandmother Jia's balance naturally tilted.
"You didn't know about this rumor until yesterday. How could an old woman like me who has been indifferent to things for a long time know about it? Even if it's your two younger brothers and sisters, I can guarantee that one of them doesn't care about the matter at all, and the other is just a deaf decoration."
We had no choice but to remove Xing.
Everyone in the Jia family knows that the eldest daughter-in-law can't even manage her own yard.
Besides, the eldest son is here, so he can ignore Xing. But if she, as the mother-in-law, only cares about Wang and ignores Xing, there will definitely be trouble again.
Grandmother Jia looked at Haodaer with disdain and said, "This matter..., you have to ask Lian'er. Lian'er, you are in charge of all the family affairs. For such a long time, tell me the truth, have you not heard any rumors?"
Jia Lian: "..."
He was simply stunned. How could this happen to him?
Obviously everyone knows it.
The moment his eyes met with his aunt's, his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees, but Jia She pulled him back and said, "Lian'er is a silly boy. You have just gotten married and have been busy with your love affairs. How can you care about the gossips of your wives in the mansion? But it is time to take care of these servants."
He turned to Jia Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, you are the head of the clan and you have experience. How about letting the people you found out yesterday bite the people in this mansion and take them away as soon as they are bitten?"
"Listen to Uncle She."
Jia Zhen hurriedly bowed.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"Brother Xie's suggestion is very good."
Shen Ning smiled, "But there's still a little missing."
"oh?"
Jia She bowed and saluted, "Sister-in-law, just say it, even if you hit Lian'er..."
"Why would I hit my own child? As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime."
Shen Ning touched her belly. "But now everyone knows about the curse. I feel uneasy day and night. I always want to accumulate some blessings for this child! It just so happened that I heard that Kaifeng Prefecture suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm some time ago, so I asked Rong Ge'er to donate some money for me. However, our family still owes the national treasury..."
"My sister-in-law is worried that our own children will naturally bring blessings to our family."
They were all smart people. Jia She understood the meaning of the music and said loudly when he straightened up, "Lian'er, go and carry the silver back to the treasury first."
Even if he wanted to bring blessings to his unborn nephews and nieces, he would never give it to the second child.
“Wait!”
Grandmother Jia almost stood up, "The matter of the treasury silver..."
"Aunt doesn't love me anymore? Or are those words just to coax me? Aunt hopes that something bad will happen to our eldest son's family? She hopes that my son and I will die together?"
As she spoke, not only did her eyes become sharp, but even her voice had a kind of indescribable determination.
Grandmother Jia: “…”
Her heart was pounding.
There were thousands of reasons to object, but no one could say a single one in the face of Shen Ning's seemingly reasonable but actually tantrum-like rhetoric.
The old man's face turned red with anxiety, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She glanced at her second son who shrank his neck when Shen Ning stared at him, and then at her eldest son who insisted on raising the silver. She was powerless to resist, "You also said you would donate money. I will give our child eight hundred taels of silver."
She took a deep breath, "She'er, you are an uncle..."
"My son and Mrs. Xing gave my nephew and niece 600 taels of silver as a gift."
Jia She hurriedly said with a smile: "Second brother, you and I should follow the same example!"
"……nature!"
Jia Zheng could only grit his teeth and agree.
He knew how shameless his sister-in-law was today, but it was a pity that he was a gentleman and could not do such a thing as her.
"In that case, thank you, Auntie, my two brothers, and my brother's wife."
Shen Ning stood up with some difficulty and bowed to them, "Zhen'er, come quickly, follow your uncle She and brother Lian to carry the silver, and bring Rong back by the way."
"yes!"
Jia Zhen admired his mother very much.
The most difficult old lady was held back by his mother again.
Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, who wanted to object the most, were frightened again. "Son will go right away. Youshi, take good care of the old lady and mother and take them back home."
Just as Youshi was about to agree, Jia Lian was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "Old Madam, Aunt, Father..."
It was a cold day, and he was sweating. "At the end of last year, the mansion..."
"Lian'er got married last year."
Mrs. Wang knew she couldn't evade the question, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "With some other miscellaneous things, I moved 10,000 taels of silver from the treasury." There were many people here, so she didn't dare to tell others that Yuanchun had used the silver to smooth things over in the palace. "It just so happens that the Lai family seized a lot of silver, so let's make up for this first!"
Jia She: “…”
He took a deep look at Wang and his second brother who seemed to be completely unaware of the situation, and snorted, "Then take 12,000 taels from here first." The silver that the brothers and the old lady gave to the child was exactly 2,000 taels, "We'll settle the rest later."
Now Jia She only hopes to pay back the silver as soon as possible. If he doesn’t, the thieves in his house will take away all the money.
When the time comes, once the other person’s neck shrinks, his descendants will have to pay it back.
Even though his son is stupid, no matter how stupid he is, he has to take the blame for now.
"Lian'er, what are you still standing there for? Get started."
"yes!"
Jia Lian rushed over to count the silver.
Ahhhh, seeing the huge sum of silver about to be taken away, Wang was heartbroken.
Her daughter is short of money.
Without the money from the national treasury, the Lai family is now short of so much money. In the future...
Wang knew that the master would not only want to take a piece of her flesh, but would also check the warehouse from time to time in the future.
"Okay, this matter today has given me a headache!"
Grandmother Jia not only had a headache, but also a heartache.
But Shen Ning threatened their family in front of so many people, saying that those who didn't pay back the money... couldn't blame their family in the future.
"The rest is up to you brothers to handle!"
How could Wang be justified in embezzling the money? Even if she were here today, her eldest son would not lose a cent of what he deserved.
Grandmother Jia was too lazy to judge for the brothers and said, "We women will go back."
Within three days, everyone who needed to know about the Jia family's lack of money knew about it.
That's fine.
Grandmother Jia knew that some people in the palace wanted to extort more things from the Jia family. Now that it was done, it should be less in the future.
From being the great-grandson's wife to becoming the patriarch of the Jia family, she had experienced a very glorious time and it was not that she was not aware of some of the twists and turns in the palace.
But the Jia family is no longer the same as before, and they can only give some meat to others.
There is no meat now, but even if I have to cut it again, I will cut less because of our past friendship.
Grandmother Jia could only leave with this wish, but she didn't know that on a tree not far away, the secret guards sent by the emperor himself saw the entire confrontation between the Jia family members.
After they left, of course he had to return to the palace immediately to report the news.
It is always a great joy for the emperor to receive more than 100,000 taels of silver.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and no one knew.
