Chapter 183 Jia Lian’s heart changes

outside the box,

I originally thought it was not something to ask for again.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were relieved when they heard this.

Jia Lian said;

"Is this what Shaofeng said?"

Bai Shaofeng wiped his mouth and nodded solemnly,

"Wrong, that's the case. Did he remember that after his elder brother knew about it, he could collect money overnight and go to the Ministry of Accounts to collect money the next day?"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian looked at each other wrongly, with smiles on their faces. Jia Zhen said angrily,

"Oh, he thinks it's a big deal. What I said about the household department having a lot of money hasn't happened in years. It's already a cliché."

Jia Lian also looked contented and said indifferently,

"Brother, what are you talking about about me? When the court didn't ask them for money, you said which noble family gave it to them? It's wrong. We were the only ones who gave it. What you said is wrong."

Seeing the completely different reactions of the three of them, Jia Baoyu, who was walking at the east end, was also interested and asked,

"Brother Zhen, second brother Lian, what are we talking about that is very valuable? Their government owes them a lot of money? Isn't it right?"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian burst out laughing when they heard what Jia Baoyu said. Bai Shaofeng took a sip of tea and answered Jia Baoyu's doubts;

"Oh, Brother Bao, that's not what our two families owe. It can be said that all the nobles in the capital and even many civil servants owe the imperial household department a lot of money. We can't live without it if we borrow it."

"That's true, but they were all borrowed before. Now there aren't many people borrowing money."

Jia Lian also explained on the side.

Jia Baoyu was a little confused. It was natural to borrow a lot of money. Why did he react like this?

"Brother Zhen, Baoyu is not very popular, so it's not appropriate to borrow a lot of money. Why do you react like this?"

Jia Zhen was stunned when she heard this. She was right. It is natural that debts are very high. But that one is a little different, and it seems to be no different.

"Baoyu is right. But Baoyu, all the nobles in the capital have borrowed it. I said it would be too conspicuous if they ask for it and don't borrow it. It's a lot of money. Of course, if it's a lot, it's a lot. He remembered that his father said that the Ningguo Mansion owed the court 1.6 million taels of silver, but it was all kept untouched by Dong Lai at that time and could be used at any time."

Jia Baoyu seemed to understand, but he was opposed to such a thing from the bottom of his heart. Why was so much thought put into such a simple thing? It was because of the good of his daughter's family.

When Bai Shaofeng heard what Jia Zhen said, he was not surprised. He knew that the money was worthless, so he kindly reminded him;

"Brother Zhen really denies being the patriarch of the Jia family, so he doesn't care about anyone else."

"Hey, it's too praised, it's too praised. There are thousands of people in the Jia family, so they work hard and don't think more about how to do it."

Jia Zhen was also flattered and couldn't find her for a while, but Bai Shaofeng changed his words.

"Brother Zhen, I'm sorry that I'm being alarmist. Is the money you left here worthless?"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were also stunned, why is that so stupid?

When Bai Shaofeng saw the two people reacting like this, he didn't know why they were wrong and didn't read the very silver notice posted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he asked;

"Didn't your two brothers go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to read the notice from Yidong?"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian shook their heads in confusion. Jia Lian was a little confused and asked;

"Brother, what's the matter? No matter how much money you borrow, he will refuse it soon. Is there anything you can say about it?"

Bai Shaofeng did not beat around the bush and said directly;

"Brothers, please think about it carefully after hearing this. I borrowed the money, but there is interest. I will draw one out of thirty every year. Fortunately, it will not be added up based on the number of years. Brother Zhen, do you want the 1.6 million taels? How much should be included in the interest?”

After hearing this, Jia Zhen suddenly realized, and then her face was ashen. That was too much, and she had already earned at least two million yuan. She even broke out in cold sweat when she thought of so much money.

Can you think about it again, if the Dongfu Silver Port can sell a lot of things, and the money can be collected, then Ningguo Mansion will be empty.

Jia Lian was also a little surprised. Why hadn't he heard about this before? He hurriedly asked,

"Shaofeng, how do I know that the money in the loan department charges interest?"

"His brother, whose money are you borrowing from without interest? His eldest brother's money is not counted as interest. If the money is not worth it, he will have to borrow it again. When Dongji is here, the household department will Notices have been posted.”

Bai Shaofeng couldn't pick and choose what he said, as if it were true or false.

Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She could just borrow more. If the money was too big, she couldn't borrow more. But Jia Lian looked a little embarrassed. Can the future title of Rongguo Mansion be his own? But could he keep the borrowed money? Neither was seen.

If he is really rich in the future, who has the money, whether he has a second house or a big house, and of course whoever inherits the title will have a big house. The most important thing is that the family property is in the second house. Suddenly, Jia Lian felt full of malice in the palace.

No, the matter must be discussed with his father, and he cannot get a second room at a cheaper price. Jia Lian raised his head again and looked in the direction of Jia Baoyu with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Jia Baoyu was very dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu after her second marriage. Looking at Jia Baoyu with such a nonchalant expression on her face, the more she looked at him, the more he seemed to be mocking himself.

I'm looking at Brother Zhen, after all, whether he is the head of the house or the patriarch of the Jia family. He is saying the same thing in the house. If he can practice Taoism all the year round without returning to the house, can he be a fairy confinement child?

As for myself, whether I am going outside or inside, whether I am suffering from anger at home, I will have nothing in the end according to the current momentum. I feel depressed when I think about it.

He calmed down secretly, then thanked Bai Shaofeng by mistake,

"Thank you so much, brother Shaofeng, for accepting my favor. Now, let me ask you one more question, what if the money is not very good?"

When Bai Shaofeng heard Jia Lian thanking him, he calmed down a little and said in a low voice,

"Second Brother Lian, you're so polite. Please pay me some money this time. Will I make a fool of myself in Chunlou? Second Brother, no, I'm just being alarmist. Judging from his eldest brother's reaction, I'm afraid it's not good. Then It is not up to the imperial court to decide what the matter is."

After saying that, he pointed to Tianzai with his leg. Jia Lian naturally understood what he meant and nodded.

Even if you have thousands of ideas in your heart, how can you not have money?

Seeing Jia Baoyu walking there blankly, he suddenly asked,

"Baoyu, I don't want to do anything. My second brother asked me, why does our Rongguo Mansion have so much money from the imperial court?"

How could Jia Baoyu think about those things? They were all inconspicuous and mundane things, but he also knew that things are of great importance. Jia Baoyu thought for a while and said,

"Second brother, my second sister-in-law will take care of the house if I'm here. I'll just collect the money from my husband and I'll be fine."

As soon as he said this, Jia Lian took a deep look at Jia Baoyu and realized that it was his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng who was clearly behind the housekeeper. It turned out that this was the purpose of the second wife.

Only then did Jia Lian understand why Mrs. Wang, Hong's second wife, had handed over the housekeeping rights to Wang Xifeng. It was indeed a good plan.

"What Baoyu said is not true. Some account books have indeed been carefully calculated. No one can take too much and ask for more. It is better to ask for a clear account."

Although Jia Zhen didn't understand what was going on, did she know that what she was saying was inappropriate, so she teased Yidong and asked,

"Bo Laosan, let me tell you the truth. Is there anything else besides that? Why am I here tomorrow? Stop hiding it."

Bai Shaofeng glanced at Jia Zhen proudly, stood up, patted his belly, and said,

"I'm so full tomorrow, brother Zhen. Is he ready to get addicted to gambling when he comes tomorrow? Come here to gamble and have fun. Bet on who will win the competition first and second." Then he and his eldest brother came there to see each other, and thirdly, he came here to meet the second brother Lian. I am very grateful to the second brother. That matter is not a trivial matter. I might really ask for something to happen."

Jia Zhen obviously didn't believe it and looked a little unhappy after hearing this. Jia Lian was thoughtful. There might be some articles in it, but he couldn't help himself. Since someone told him this, it was considered a good intention. .

Jia Lian stood up, patted Bai Shaofeng on the shoulder and thanked him,

"Thank you, Third Brother Bai. My Second Brother Lian remembers this very clearly. I will keep this matter in mind."

Seeing Brother Lian shut up like this, Bai Shaofeng felt better. His face softened and he said,

"Brother Lian, please take care of yourself. Brother Yu is going back."

Jia Lian followed behind to see him off, but Jia Zhen and Jia Baoyu were walking there without getting up to see him off. Bai Shaofeng saw this and shook his head in his heart, how stupid he was.

When he arrived at the door of the box and saw no one around, Bai Shaofeng pulled Jia Lian aside and said sincerely,

"Second brother Lian, please think more about yourself. Maybe there will be changes after the New Year competition. Chickens will be killed by then. It will be too late to regret by then. Brother Yu also knows about the affairs of the second brother's family. It is better to leave a way out. ."

Bai Shaofeng also reminded Yidong sincerely. After saying this, he coughed, and without waiting for Jia Lian to respond, he whispered,

"Second Brother Lian, thank you for your hospitality. I won't disturb Brother Yu as much. There are too many people and he will go back."

Jia Lian actually had a lot of questions to ask. When he mentioned that there are too many people, he looked up and saw that many noble eyes of the waiters not far away looked over unconsciously, knowing that he should shut up. , so I no longer force myself and keep the words in my heart.

"Okay, Third Brother Bai, let's get together when we have time. It's obvious that my brother didn't entertain me well. If I don't treat you too much, I won't send him off."

"Second brother, say goodbye."

Bai Shaofeng didn't hesitate, he turned around and left as soon as he cupped his fists.

Seeing this, the people around him couldn't see anything and stopped paying attention. Everyone's eyes also disappeared.

Jia Lian stood at the door of the box, watching Bai Shaofeng's back, but he also had many thoughts in his heart. He really wanted to go back and discuss the matter with his father, Jia She, to see if it would be a good idea, at least to bring in the people from the second room, but that was not possible. Jia Lian actually has Ye Chang's drive, but can the old lady be partial?

"Brother Lian, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and let us three drink some more."

Hearing Jia Zhen's shout from outside the box, Jia Lian shrugged his clothes, walked in and said;

"Wouldn't that be a gift to someone else's third child? After all, it's not a good intention."

She closed the door with her legs and walked over, but Jia Zhen said unhappily;

"I heard him talking nonsense. What the hell! The Ministry of Revenue didn't ask for money from our honorable nobles, and asked for some interest. What do you think!"

Jia Zhen cursed with a look of disgust.
