The emperor ordered him to visit the uncle's house.
On the same day, they separated.
On the same day, he moved out of Rong Mansion.
The speed at which the family was divided was probably second to none in the capital.
Besides, after Jia Ying's ruckus…
Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu also moved in, accompanied by their respective nannies and servant girls.
He watched as the two little girls busied themselves.
Especially the maids around Lin Daiyu, old and young, they were not agile people at all.
Jia Ying urged Ping Er,
"Tomorrow, go buy a few more manservants and maids.”
"If you can't handle it, go and ask Tanchun for help!”
"She might be young, but she can still do some things.”
Lin Daiyu thanked Jia Ying and Wang Xifeng.
Returning to the main courtyard.
Wang Xifeng's expression froze slightly as she said,"
"This old lady really knows how to judge people. Thinking that Miss Lin is alone in the capital and that her father is also a single family, she wants to take advantage of her.”
"You're really shameless!"
Jia Ying nodded in agreement.
Lin Ruhai was a former official of Lantai Temple and later a salt inspector. He was ordered to supervise the salt tax in Yangzhou and the coastal areas.
Although his rank wasn't high, he was still an imperial censor.
For example, the seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door!
Although the salt inspector was a local official, his official position was in the imperial court. A seventh-grade official in the imperial court was far better than a fifth-grade official in the local area.
Grandmother Jia did not arrange a courtyard for Lin Daiyu.
It was obvious that he had taken a fancy to Lin Daiyu's family background and appearance, so he tried to matchmake Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.
Jia Ying also sighed," Salt Patrol Censor is also a lucrative job that many people are envious of!”
Presumably, Lin Ruhai had relied on his identity as an imperial envoy and censor all these years.
He had made a lot of money in the local area.
Grandmother Jia had already calculated this.
Finally.
Jia Ying also reminded him,
"His Majesty gave the order to build the Earl's residence, nothing more than wanting me to sever ties with the Jia residence as soon as possible! Today, he had beaten up that old bastard Jia She in front of everyone on purpose for the eunuchs in the palace to see.”
"Now that Retired Emperor is old, his body is getting weaker by the day!”
"These old relatives of the Jia family still want to stick to the rules, it is no different from courting death.”
"In the future, don't hang out with your family!"
Wang Xifeng's eyes widened slightly.
After a long while, she sighed and agreed.
"Humph!"
"So much silver and silk!”
"Do you think we own a silver shop?"
Wang Xifeng snorted.
He was very dissatisfied with Jia Ying's attitude of doting on his sister.
Jia Ying saw that there was no one around.
She whispered,
"This little bit of silver is just sprinkling water.”
"Your husband still has five hundred thousand taels of silver on hand. Even if you squander it all day long, it will still take some days for you to finish spending it.”
Xifeng Wang's mouth was wide open.
As expected, he was frightened.
Jia Ying explained,"Your husband seized some supplies on the battlefield, so I've more or less hidden them."”
"However, this money came from a shady source. You have to be careful with your spending.”
It was a precaution.
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly like a bird pecking at its food. She couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, Wang Xifeng was not a person who loved money.
According to what Jia Ying knew.
The reason why Wang Xifeng, who was described in the Dream of the Red Chamber, would place money everywhere was because the Jia family could not make ends meet and needed to maintain the dignity of the residence.
Wang Xifeng even added in her dowry and personal money.
As a woman, she had to take care of the household to this extent.
There was no one else!
Wang Xifeng's cheeks were red, and she couldn't help but lean against Jia Ying in a good mood.
"It seems that our residence is not short of money.”
"I thought that we would have to spend money to take care of everything inside and outside the new mansion.”
"Originally, the eldest brother of the East Mansion wanted to find me to put in some money to earn some interest.”
"Now it seems that we don't need to pay attention to him.”
The so-called big brother of the East Mansion was Jia Zhen.
Wang Xifeng and the people of the East Mansion had some connections since they were young.
Jia Jing's previous wife was Jia Zhen's mother, who was also a woman of the Wang family. When Jia Zhen was young, she followed her mother to visit the Wang family many times.
In any case, the four families were even closer.
This was a common occurrence.
However, when he heard the words "money".
Jia Ying's expression immediately changed.
"There's someone in the East Mansion who puts money in their pockets?"
Wang Xifeng, on the other hand, told Jia Ying everything she knew.
It turned out that the Ning and Rong Manors had sold off many of their properties and estates in the past few years.
However, he still could not make ends meet.
Lady Wang then secretly urged Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and the others to place the money everywhere.
For example, there were 300 to 400 households in the Rong Mansion, and there were 1,500 people in total. Among them, nearly 1,000 people needed to be paid a monthly salary.
It was at least a thousand taels of silver.
Madam Wang deliberately delayed the deduction of the monthly payment and then took out the 1,000 silver coins to put into the account.
If it was two hundred taels of interest, then two hundred taels of silver would be deducted from the principal of one thousand taels of silver. The actual loan would be eight hundred taels of silver, but the interest would be calculated at one thousand taels of silver.
To put it bluntly, it was " beheading interest ". When borrowing money, the interest would be recovered at the same time.
As for the bad debts?
Jia Zhen had a group of local ruffians and hooligans under her, all of whom were in charge of collecting debts in secret.
If anyone went back on their word.
He had to sell his wife and daughter, mortgage his house and land.
Madam Wang, Jia Zhen, and the others from the East Mansion.
He had been doing this kind of business for years.
Not long ago, he heard that Wang Xifeng had spent all her wealth to help Jia Ying recruit soldiers, so he secretly urged Wang Xifeng to participate in this matter to earn money.
Jia Zhen and Mrs. Wang both wanted to retreat behind the scenes and leave this matter to Wang Xifeng.
In the end, he did not expect it.
Wang Xifeng happened to be pregnant, so this matter was postponed.
Now that Jia Ying had suddenly taken out 500,000 taels of silver, Wang Xifeng recalled this matter and told Jia Ying.
Jia Ying placed her hands behind her back and took a deep breath.
"My good wife!"
"Do you know that it's illegal to put money in your pocket?”
Xifeng Wang was confused.
"But Big Brother said that it's not against the law.”
Jia Ying's mouth twitched.
This silly wife!
You're still counting money for others after being sold!
It turned out that Madam Wang and Jia Zhen thought that Wang Xifeng was illiterate and ignorant of the law, so they joined forces to find a steward to take the blame!
Wang Xifeng saw Jia Ying's unfriendly expression.
He knew that he had almost gotten into trouble.
" I didn't agree to it!" Even someone as strong-willed as Wang Xifeng was so scared in front of Jia Ying that she kept shaking her head.
"Alright!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Don't interact with the East Mansion and Madam Wang again!" Jia Ying warned in a deep voice.”
"Let's see if I beat up Jia Zhen tomorrow!”
Again, beating someone up?
Wang Xifeng originally thought that she was a tough person.
In the end, he did not expect it.
Jia Ying was even more unreasonable than her!
