Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 48 [048] One person surpasses the entire Xue family

"Who is it, who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head after eating the bear's heart and leopard's courage?" Jia Zheng's eyes trembled, his face fluctuated, and he ordered:

"Hurry up and take me to meet your uncle Jiazhen!"

"Yes!" Menzi led the way in front, and everyone rushed to Jia Zhen's bedroom with vigorous strides.

When he was about to enter the door, Jia Zheng thought that there must be a female relative waiting in the bedroom, so he asked all the servants to wait outside the door, and only brought Jia Chen and Xue Pan into the bedroom to visit.

Before entering the door, Jia Chen smelled a pungent herbal smell.

In the bedroom, Jia Zhen was lying face up on the bed.

His eyes were closed, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, his face was sweating, and he looked haggard and weak.

You Shi is directing several servant girls to wait on the side.

The maids took turns giving Jia Zhen medicine to wipe off his sweat, but as soon as he wiped off the sweat on his face, a layer of cold sweat broke out soon.

The corners of Jia Chen's lips raised slightly, the kidneys control water, if the kidneys are damaged, they will not be able to retain water in the body.

This is why people with kidney deficiency tend to sweat spontaneously.

And Jia Zhen didn't just have a kidney deficiency, but her kidneys were shattered by herself.

Jia Zhen wanted to assassinate herself, and she also wanted to use beauty tricks to tarnish her reputation and ruin her future, but she didn't kill him, and letting him live is considered as the best of humanity.

As for whether Jia Zhen would identify herself if she woke up, Jia Chen wasn't worried at all.

At that time, as long as you don't admit it.

Because last time at Jia Rong's fainting ceremony, Jia Chen had publicly stated that Jia Zhen wanted to assassinate him, which meant that Jia Zhen wanted to put him to death, so Jia Zhen would naturally frame him.

Although both Qin Keqing and Jia Rong saw that she had injured Jia Zhen, Qin Keqing would not betray herself, and Jia Rong hated Jia Zhen, wishing that Jia Zhen would return to the West as soon as possible so that he could inherit the patriarch and title.

Therefore, there is no physical evidence, and Jia Zhen's one-sided statement alone makes it impossible to determine that Jia Chen shot and hurt someone.

Jia Zhen was abolished, Jia Rong was inhumane and had no children, and Ning Guogong's line was extinct.

The huge Ningguo Mansion looks extremely wealthy at present, but when Jia Zhen and Jia Rong return to the west, it will fall into the hands of others.

The life of obscenity and luxury is like a passing cloud, a dream in the world of mortals, and in the end it is nothing more than making wedding clothes for others.

"It's better for me to think of a way to get the Ningguo Mansion into my bag than to make people with a foreign surname cheaper in the end."

Jia Chen secretly planned in his heart that when the time is right, he will move into Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng sighed when he saw that Jia Zhen was so angry and her life was hanging by a thread.

He turned his head to look at the haggard You Shi, and asked:
"Niece and daughter-in-law, how is Brother Zhen's injury? How long will it take to recover?"

Youshi frowned worriedly and said:

"The imperial doctor has seen it, and said that the trauma is not serious, but it may hurt the waist, and it needs to be recuperated."

Jia Zheng sighed sadly:

"When I saw him a few days ago, he was still in good health. I didn't expect that after I hadn't seen him for a few days, he became like this. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and don't talk outside."

Hearing this, Youshi wept sadly, her cheeks trembled, and the golden steps on her temples swayed slightly.

She saluted Jia Zhengfu and said sadly:
"Thank you Mr. Zheng for your concern and compassion!"

Jia Zheng comforted:
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, I would like to express my condolences, but I don't know where Rong'er has gone?"

No wonder he was curious, Jia Zhen was so badly injured, but did not see her son Jia Rong, how unfilial she was!
Although Jia Rong didn't get any fame, at least she had studied the Four Books and Five Classics in Jia's school, and the classics of sages. How could she even forget the most basic filial piety?
What a wolf-hearted, vain son of man!
You Shi is just a house filler, not Jia Rong's biological mother. Moreover, she has no talent and no eloquence, just like a gourd with its mouth sawn, it can't control Jia Rong at all.

Hearing Jia Zheng's question, Youshi replied with a bitter face:

"I don't know where he went, maybe he went to seek medical advice?"

Jia Chen sneered in his heart, Jia Rong hated Jia Zhen so much, how could he seek medical advice for him?
Guess this guy is drinking flower wine and listening to ditties in some brothel.

Only a loving father can be filial to a son. Jia Zhen has repeatedly humiliated and beat Jia Rong, treating him like a vengeful enemy, and even wanted to occupy Jia Rong's daughter-in-law.As a half man, how could Jia Rong be filial to Jia Zhen after suffering such a great humiliation?

He didn't take the opportunity to murder Jia Zhen, so he was magnanimous and benevolent.

The poor are ruined by the water, and the rich are involved in prostitution for three generations of poverty.

Jia Zhen is licentious and shameless, his son Jia Rong is inhumane, and Ning Guogong's lineage is no longer a problem of "three generations of poverty involved in adultery", but that there will be no third generation at all, and the children and grandchildren will be cut off.

Jia Chen did not urge Jia Zheng to check the accounts and inventory, but wanted Jia Zheng to bring it up himself.
After all, now that Jia Zhen is seriously injured and comatose, if he raises the matter of auditing accounts at this juncture, Jia Zheng will feel that he has no sense of the overall situation, can't distinguish priorities, is short-sighted, and only cares about petty profits.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Chen and remembered the division of the "Disciples Regulations".

Jia Zheng looked at Youshi, smiled shyly and said:

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, in fact, we came this time to check the accounts and inventory of the "Disciple Regulations", but it's a pity that Zhen'er is unconscious and Rong'er is missing, Chen'er and I can only ask you to go to the warehouse to check the accounts gone."

Youshi smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm a woman, how do I know how to check the accounts? I can trust Mr. Zheng's character. I'll give you the key to the warehouse, and you can check it yourself."

Jia Zheng took the key and rushed to the warehouse with Jia Chen, Xue Pan and the servants to check the accounts and the quantity of the inventory.

After careful inspection, Jia Chen found that this month, he should have been given [-] taels, but Jia Zhen only gave him [-] taels.

Jia Zhen was really dishonest, and even secretly coveted a hundred taels of silver.

But Jia Chen didn't tell Jia Zheng, anyway, Jia Zhen is unconscious now, and the money that should be given to him is indispensable.

After checking the accounts, Jia Zheng sent someone to inform Youshi.

Youshi agreed to pay Jia Chen four hundred taels, she took the pair, and ordered the bank of Ningguo Mansion to take out a silver note worth four hundred taels and hand it over to Jia Chen.

Jia Chen accepted it calmly.

It was Jia Zhen who coveted her one hundred taels of silver first, being unkind and unrighteous first, why should she talk about morality with Ningguo Mansion?The extra three hundred taels of silver given by the other party was regarded as punishment for Jia Zhen's greed for money.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Jia Chen bid farewell to Jia Zheng and left Ningguo Mansion.

Looking at the back of Jia Chen going away, Jia Zheng said with emotion:
"Since ancient times, a hero has been born into a boy! Chen'er's share was two hundred and forty taels last month, but this month it has risen to four hundred taels. She is able to earn so much money at such a young age, what a genius of a businessman!"

Xue Pan also showed admiration. Although he hated Jia Chen for pushing himself into the trap, he still sincerely admired Jia Chen's ability to make money.

Although my family is an imperial merchant, but now the family background is in decline and the management is not good. When all the properties of the whole family are added up, the monthly net profit may not reach four hundred taels.

In other words, the earning power of the entire Xue family is not as good as that of Jia Chen alone.

This made Xue Pan have to be convinced.

However, Xue Pan still wants to take revenge on Jia Chen and take revenge from last time.
