My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 82 Crying Poor
When they heard that Jia Mu was going to give 5000 taels of silver to the eldest girl in the palace, everyone's expressions changed.

Jia She wanted to speak, but was stopped by Mrs. Xing's eyes.

Mrs. Wang's dull face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, also twitched slightly, and the movement of pulling the beads in her hand suddenly became faster.

Jia Zhen, on the other hand, ignored the matter. Jia Baoyu didn't know anything about money. He still talked to the sisters beside him with a smile on his face. He didn't notice the change in the sisters' faces when they heard about 5000 taels of silver. .

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Xifeng could only bite the bullet and said: "Old Ancestor, the father-in-law is a little short of money these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to give so much silver to the eldest girl at once."

Mother Jia's expression condensed and she looked at Wang Xifeng:

"Girl Feng, tell me, how much money does the Duke have now?"

"This……"

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment and then said with an apologetic smile: "Now is the time when the new year is young, and the filial piety from the Zhuangzi and the silver from the shops have not been delivered.

In addition, there is a large family to support in the house, and the father-in-law has less than 1 taels of silver, and last month's monthly payment was not paid. If the money is given to the eldest girl, the money in our house will not be enough. . "

"what……"

Jia Mu stood up and said, "Girl Feng, your aunt asked you to take care of the housework. Is this how you manage the house? The dignified Duke of Rongguo Mansion can't even scrape together 1 taels of silver?"

She was worthy of being the wife of a duke. With Jia Mu's anger, the temperature in the entire Rongqing Hall became a bit colder.

Seeing Jia Mu's anger, Wang Xifeng quickly knelt down.

“God is so pitiful, my grandson’s daughter-in-law is really unjust.

It’s not like you don’t know what the situation is like in our house. Over the past few years, we have always had a lot of food, which was first lacking and then empty.

No matter how good my grandson's wife is at managing the house, she can't make money.

Since the ancestors are dissatisfied with the grandson's daughter-in-law's stewardship, the grandson's daughter-in-law will hand over this job today, and you can send a capable person to take care of the house. "

Wang Xifeng, who became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, started crying.

Everyone outside saw her, Wang Xifeng, in charge of the financial power of a large family, and she seemed to have unlimited glory, but who understood her difficulties?

There are nearly a thousand people in the huge Rongguo Mansion, and just eating, drinking and eating every day is a huge sum.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver may seem like a large sum of money, but if you really use it, you won't be able to last even two months.

In order to make money, she even engaged in such derogatory business as loan sharking, which shows how hard Wang Xifeng worked to maintain the family.

But even though she worked so hard, what she got in return was Jia Mu's scolding, how could she not be sad.

Seeing Wang Xifeng kneeling on the ground crying and wanting to give up her son, Jia Mu blinked her eyes and suddenly didn't know what to do.

Although Jia Mu likes Gaole, she is not confused.

When she was young, she also acted as a housekeeper, but as she grew older, she handed over the housekeeper's rights to Mrs. Wang.

However, since the death of her eldest son Jia Zhu, Mrs. Wang seemed to have lost all hope. She worshiped Buddha all day long and handed over the housekeeper's rights to Wang Xifeng.

And Wang Xifeng has indeed lived up to Mrs. Wang's trust. In recent years, she has managed the huge Rongguo Mansion in an orderly manner.

These things were seen by everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. Now that Wang Xifeng suddenly wanted to give up his position, everyone was naturally shocked.

But what is surprising is that before Jia Mu spoke, Mrs. Wang, who rarely expressed opinions like the Clay Bodhisattva, did.

"Mother, why are you angry? Although Feng Yatou is a bit impatient, she has managed the huge Rongguo Mansion in these years, and everyone from top to bottom is dissatisfied.

How about you just spare her this life and let her take the blame? "

When Mrs. Wang spoke, Jia Mu also figured it out.She sighed softly: "Girl Feng, I was the old lady and I wrongly blamed you.

Don't take it to heart, I'm very relieved to have you in charge of the house.

Who do you care about in charge of this house?
Baoyu...you naughty monkey, why don't you help Feng girl up quickly? "

Baoyu, who didn't realize that what everyone said just now revealed the crisis in Jia's family, ran over with a smile and helped Wang Xifeng up.

Of course, Wang Xifeng didn't really want to hand over the housekeeper's rights. What she said just now was just a complaint. Since Jia Mu gave her the steps, she naturally stood up.

But after being helped up, she still cried and said: "Old ancestor, it's not just my grandson's daughter-in-law who is being pretentious, but the fact is that the money of the father-in-law can no longer make ends meet.

For a while, I really couldn’t spare any money to give to the older girl. "

"You……"

Jia Mu was angry for a moment, but she also knew that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

Then he sighed and said: "That's all, in that case, then this money will not come out of the public.

mandarin duck! "

"Old lady." The tall and handsome mandarin duck who had been standing beside her quickly stood up.

But as soon as she stood up, the corner of her eye caught the gaze of Jia She who was sitting below Jia Mu.

She turned around calmly, blocking the coveted gaze behind her.

Naturally, Mother Jia didn't notice her eldest son's gaze, but ordered: "Yuanyang, go to my warehouse to pay 3000 taels of silver and give it to Zheng'er, and ask her to send it to the eldest girl."

"Yes!"

Yuanyang responded in a low voice, then twisted his body and walked quickly towards the inner hall.

It's just that when the mandarin duck left like this, Jia She's eyes, which were originally blocked by her, were caught by Jia's mother.

The best person to know a son is his mother. Jia Mu knows the virtues of her boss best.

In addition to being a self-motivated son, his eldest son is involved in everything from eating, drinking and prostitution. Most of the time on weekdays, apart from teasing maids and taking concubines, he will only hide in his small courtyard and drink with his young wives.

Now, he will focus on his most valued maid again.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu felt angry and her eyes became sharp.

Jia She was startled by his mother's stern eyes, and he retracted his eyes without daring to look around again.

The dissatisfied Jia Mu drank ginseng tea, closed her eyes and rested for a while, then Yuanyang came back and handed the banknote to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng took the banknote and saw a figure rushing over.

"Ancestor, something big happened."

Wang Xifeng, who was just about to count the banknotes, was startled by the sudden voice. When she saw the person clearly, she was so angry that she slapped him hard on the arm and cursed.

"You guy, you never leave home on weekdays, and you scare me when you come back!"

The visitor was none other than her husband Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was not angry when his daughter-in-law scolded her in front of everyone. Instead, he smiled and sang "Nai" to her to apologize.

Then he hurriedly said to Jia Mu: "Ancestor, my grandson just heard about something and came back to report to you."
