Chapter 501: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (3)
Chapter 501: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (3)
Everyone looked at Jia She as if he were a fool. Anyone with a reasonable mind could tell which was more important, the Duke's Mansion or the General's Mansion.
But I didn't expect Jia She to give up just like that.
Little did he know that Jia She felt relieved in his heart. If he could use the name of the Bald Duke's Mansion to clearly separate himself from the second house and cut off all ties with it, that would be perfect.
Jia Zhen wrote down everything Jia She had mentioned in the document on the division of the family property.
Then the formal division of the property began.
Unfortunately, when I went to the warehouse, I found that many old items left by my ancestors had disappeared.
Jia She acted decisively and ordered the confiscation of Wang's private treasury.
Once the relationship fell out, Jia She finally realized that the second wife, who had always been in the limelight, was nothing special.
Everyone looked at the things that were carried out from Wang’s private warehouse, which originally belonged to the big warehouse.
Everyone looked at Wang in surprise. They didn't expect that she usually looked like a compassionate bodhisattva, but her methods were so powerful.
This was the entire warehouse of the Jia Mansion that was almost emptied.
Jia She looked at Jia Zheng and his wife with disdain.
She usually looked like she didn't have much money at home, but all of it went back to her own private room.
After comparison, it was discovered that another 20% was missing.
Jia She thought of the things that had been moved out of Zhou Rui's house and gave the order very decisively.
Send someone to search the homes of Lai Da and several other managers thoroughly.
Things got to this point, and in the end Jia She made a fortune.
Because everyone discovered that the amount of money seized from the homes of those stewards was actually more than the money in the Duke's Mansion's treasury.
Jia She directly ordered people to block the door connecting the East Courtyard and the Duke's Mansion.
Then make the door that originally faced the Ningguo Mansion, which was usually the only one he entered and exited, bigger.
Then he went back and wrote a memorial, and personally delivered it to the palace gate.
Although he seldom entered the palace, he had the title of general after all, so it was easy for him to submit a memorial.
The journey was smooth and the memorial soon arrived on the emperor's desk.
The emperor picked up the memorial and glanced over the nonsense at the beginning.
Finally, I stared at the last few sentences.
When my father was alive, he borrowed 30 taels of silver from the national treasury, and he never forgot it until his death.
I have now pardoned the money and would like to return it to Your Majesty on my own initiative to comfort my father's soul in the afterlife.
When the emperor saw the words, he took a deep breath.
He immediately picked up the red pen and wrote the word "approved"!
With the emperor's imperial approval, from then on, no matter what the second wife did, it would have nothing to do with his first wife.
Two months passed in a flash, and Jia Lian felt much more energetic.
Jia She directly handed over all the shops and farms allocated to the eldest wife to him.
Although Jia Lian is a bit greedy and lustful, it has to be said that he is still capable.
He was the one who managed all the properties in Rongguo Mansion before.
He is indeed a capable person as he can make money under the joint control of several big managers.
Now Jia She just threw all of them to him and let him do whatever he wanted with them.
This made Jia Lian excited and he also respected Jia She more.
Although he was in charge of the mansion's property in the past, the money he earned was directly sent to the old lady or Wang by those in charge.
Even if he wanted to spend some money, he had to deduct it secretly or ask them for it.
Now there are finally no more annoying rules.
Therefore, he took drastic measures directly.
Those shopkeepers who were disobedient and embezzled too much money were sold out directly.
Now the entire big house and all the properties are completely controlled by him.
Although Wang Xifeng is still the mistress of the house, there are only a few real masters in the mansion.
As for the servants, she sold off those old-timers and sent them off to other farms, leaving only those who were obedient and dedicated to their work.
Her mood brightened, and the flowers were there to nourish her body.
She feels that she rarely feels tired now.
Shuangshuang naturally moved back to the East Courtyard, and Xichun was taken back by Jia Zhen.
In an instant, Shuangshuang felt that the air became much fresher.
I no longer have to go to the old lady every day and play and laugh with her precious phoenix egg like a laughing girl.
Perhaps Jia She felt guilty towards the original owner, so during this period he not only gave her banknotes but also jewelry.
He also instructed Xing to slowly start stockpiling a dowry for her.
Xing took the banknote from Jia She and patted her chest, saying, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it!"
Jia She looked at her gently, "Master, I believe you myself.
During this period, you should also be considerate to Ying girl.
When you and your daughter are well-acquainted, I will report to the clan and adopt her into your family."
"Really?"
Xing was extremely surprised. Since she married into the Jia family, she had not been liked by the master, so she tried to make money wherever she could.
At that time, I thought that my dowry was not much, and that having a child in the future would provide him with security.
But for some reason, there was no good news, and she gave up after so many years.
But she still enjoys collecting money.
He only thought that when he was old, even if Jia Lian and others were not filial to him, he could still become a noble lord with money.
But if the master is willing to register the child under his own name, the meaning will be very different.
In the family tree, I am no longer childless, so the children adopted by me will not dare to be unfilial to me.
"Master, don't worry! I will definitely teach Yingchun well!"
Jia She left the main courtyard and came to the courtyard of his concubine's son Jia Cong.
Seeing him throwing dice with a few servants, I couldn't help feeling depressed.
How neglectful I was to this son in the past.
That's why he is so old, but he still lies on the ground with the servant to play these things.
Finally, someone noticed Jia She's bad look, and the servants quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Greetings, Master She!"
When Jia Cong saw that it was Jia She, he trembled with fear.
He quickly threw the dice in his hand and said, "Meet father."
Jia She frowned and looked at Jia Cong, but he managed not to get angry.
After all, it's not his fault. He is young and he just learns from others.
"I will hire a teacher for you tomorrow, and you must study hard under the teacher.
If I find out you've been lazy, I won't let you off easily!"
"Yes, sir. My son will study hard."
Jia She returned to his yard and angrily gave orders to Ah Chun.
"Go find a servant and a martial arts master who is good at martial arts."
The next day, not only did they invite a scholar, but they also invited a martial arts master.
And there was a servant named Yinzi beside Jia Zong.
This name was given by Jia Zong, implying that he would make more money in the future.
