The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Before the separation, Jia She came to see Jia She and Jia Zhen, and asked them to speak well of Jia Zheng when he wanted to divide more.After all, Jia Zheng was going to be separated, and Jia's mother's private house was very rich, but when Jia Guogong was fighting, he picked some women who would like it for her.Jia Zheng even asked Jia's mother to give him all of his private house. As a spoiled young son, there was nothing out of the ordinary.Jia's mother's dislike for Dafang was obvious to all in the family.

His bottom line is that for the remaining half, Min'er gets [-]%, Jia Zheng gets [-]%, and Dafang only needs [-]%, which will be given to Hu'er, Ying'er and Lian'er respectively.Or Min'er won't take it, but Jia Zheng will take [-]%.Jia Amnesty thought to himself, anyway, he has a private house from his grandfather and grandmother, and he has a title of honor. Since Jia Zheng didn't do anything to hurt the big house, he should feel pity for him.

However, if Jia Zheng doesn't fight for it, then Jia Amnesty said, don't want it for nothing.Jia Zheng is also really incompetent in common affairs, or in other words, he can't bear that face. He could stand upright before, but now he wants to fight with his elder brother for money in front of many clan elders and court officials. You come and go , is insulting to the gentlemen.

After the private house is divided, the rest is the main event. Just as the account books that Jia She sent someone to get are delivered, they get to the point.

The inventory of the assets of the Rong Mansion was carried out when Duke Rong was present, and he nodded. He had also read these books, and Jia Jing and the others knew the inside story.

The ledger is divided into two piles.

Jia She pointed to the pile on the left, and said, "This is the land deed for the mansion built by Rongguo Mansion, the land of meritorious service bestowed by the emperor to Rongfu, and the imperial gifts accumulated over the years. According to regulations, they can only be inherited by the successor .” Then he bowed his hands to the few officials who had been silent all this time, and said, “My lords from the Ministry of Rites, would you like to see if it’s true?”

A middle-aged official at the beginning hurriedly apologized with a smile and said, "Uncle, you are welcome, we will naturally trust you." Having said that, we still have to go through the motions.The young man who nodded towards Jia Hu walked over and flipped through the ledger and the stack of land deeds symbolically, then calmly returned to the original place.

The middle-aged official said: "There are no omissions, uncle, please continue."

Jia She said leisurely, "There's no rush, I've ordered the boy to get the IOU."

"IOU?" Hearing these two words, several clan elders immediately discussed.

When Jia Zheng found an excuse, he took offense: "Brother, did you owe someone money outside?" He frowned, looked at Jia Amnesty, as if he had done something sinful, and said unbearably: "Brother, father How long has it been since you died? You! Oh!"

Jia Hu curled her lips. As expected of being prudish, this drama came as it was said.

Jia She's expression turned cold immediately, and he asked gloomily, "Jia Zheng, what do you mean?!"

Jia Zheng lost his mind for a moment, thinking that Jia Amnesty would go to gamble while he was still in his filial piety, then he came back to his senses, tried to find an excuse for himself, and said: "I have never heard of any IOUs from my elder brother, didn't I just owe it recently?" Is it right?" As he spoke, he became confident again, "Brother, to the point where IOUs are needed, it must not be a small amount, right? Do you have to pay the debts you owe abroad together?" He asked several clan elders , the key point is Jia Dairu, said: "Don't say when the elder brother issued the IOU, the elder brother also has his own private property, there is absolutely no reason for the brother to help repay the money."

Jia Dairu was a pedant, and he was on Dafang's side just now, but this time what Jia Zheng said made sense, so he went to support Jia Zheng again.Jia Daixiu was very disdainful. This younger brother is no saint at all. He just wanted to establish an authoritative image and convince others.If he had been a noble man, he wouldn't have flattered Jia Zheng's talents in the first place.

Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty had passed their anger a long time ago, so they naturally knew what was going on.Seeing Jia Zheng slandering his elder brother so much, he was very disappointed and very angry.He sternly reprimanded: "Keep Zhou cautious!"

Jia Jing was the patriarch, and Jia Zheng didn't want to sell his face, so he kept silent.Jia Dairu also stopped being sensible in Jia Daixiu's words such as "you must know the specific situation". Although he is an elder, his family still relies on the two houses, and he dare not really offend Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty.

With a smile on Jia Hu's face, he looked at all kinds of beings in the ancestral hall, but his eyes were cold.He was not at all curious.

When the IOUs came, Jia Jing signaled everyone to pass them on one by one. In front of other officials of the court, it was hard to say that the IOUs were drawn from the treasury by Ning and Rong in order to pay the pension and pick up the driver. What a waste of money for the emperor.He only vaguely said: "In the past, many officials and eunuchs in the capital had a difficult financial situation. His Majesty Long En allowed them to borrow money from the state treasury. At that time, it became common practice to borrow money from the state treasury, and our Jia family couldn't afford to borrow money. This is Rongfu. We also have the backup of the IOUs in Ningfu."

Others looked at it, good guy, 30 taels, they couldn't believe that the two old princes borrowed so much money from the treasury just to follow suit.However, after reading it, several officials and lords said that the seal of the household department above was genuine, and the IOUs were all old, so it was impossible for them to be the IOUs issued by Jia Amnesty.

Jia Zheng got it in his hand and almost didn't call out, 30 taels!The cash in the public house is only 10 taels, and if the gold and silver in the old library are converted into silver, it is only more than 50 taels.Originally, the second son's share was less, but the money shrank by nearly half, Jia Zheng's heart twitched, and his heart ached terribly.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to carry huge debts by himself. He ran against Jia Zheng: "Second brother, are you loyal to the king's affairs? The treasury owes money, but it is not my private debt. Now the Holy Majesty has mentioned that the treasury is empty many times. What do you say?" , should I pay it back?"

Jia Zheng squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Yes!"

He asked again, "When will the money owed be paid back?"

Jia She said: "Father told me to repay 5 taels a year in the future, and the second brother doesn't have to worry about Rongfu being treated as the leader. But since it is in the name of Rongfu, it is better to put it here with the eldest brother, lest the second brother's house is too small , can't let go."

Jia Zheng was speechless.

Jia Amnesty smiled happily, and praised his eldest son who reminded him in time.

He even comforted Jia Zheng insincerely: "Second brother, don't worry, although there is little cash, most of it is those utensils and promising land. After all, no one would keep so much cash, would they? "

Jia Zheng was not happy at all, because he could get very little of these.

Sure enough, Jia She said: "Father only has us two sons. According to the law of this dynasty, the eldest son gets [-]% and the second son gets [-]%. What do you think?" Da Zhou's property inheritance system protects the interests of the eldest son very much. This is also an important reason why Jia's mother is so unwilling. If she doesn't carry the second room, the first room will not go to heaven?

Everyone agreed not to mention it, but Jia Zheng was very aggrieved.Jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. Although the law says so, in fact, there are many brothers who are divided into two, five and five, and seven to three.

But he couldn't show it, because Jia Dai Rufang said: "It should be so." Other elders also agreed, Jia Jing, as the head of the clan, even said threateningly, "Cun Zhou, brothers who have feuds among the people, but Mostly ninety-one points."

Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree.

There was nothing left to say, so Jia Zheng could only watch helplessly as Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing discussed it with each other, and quickly divided the things into two piles, no one could say anything, after all, everything was Follow the rules.Jia Zheng really wanted to suspect the unfair division of assets, but he was spoiled by Jia's mother and Da Wang's, and he didn't know the actual value of these things at all.

The property deed of family separation was finalized. Jia Jing wrote his name in the middleman column, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also signed their names.From then on, Jia Zheng Yifang was just a side branch of Rongfu.

In the end, Jia Amnesty took out the land deed he had prepared earlier, and said, "Second brother, this is a five-entry mansion in the east of Beijing, but it cost me a lot of money, so it is my brother's gift. "

If Jia Amnesty is willing to split fifty-fifty, how many yards can't be bought!Jia Zheng's heart was not going well, so he tried his best not to put on a cold face.He really wanted to say "Since the family is separated, if there is nothing else to do, let me leave first." Then he flung his sleeves and left.It's a pity that he doesn't have his mother to protect him, so he can't afford to offend his elder brother.

Jia Zheng was extremely jealous in secret, but on the surface he still looked aloof and refused to accept it.

Jia Amnesty didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so he stuffed the land deed into Jia Zhu's hand, and said forcefully, "It's a gift from the elders, and you can't refuse it." It's the direct line of the Rong family, Jia She still can't afford to lose face.

The people in the ancestral hall left one after another.

Jia Hu looked back at the black oil door that was closing slowly behind him. Inside was the ranking for his grandfather. The next time he came in, he didn't know when it would be.

Jia Hu was feeling sad when suddenly someone hit him on the back, and a playful voice said, "Why, are you unhappy that your second uncle's family has finally been separated?" Jia Zhennu pursed, "Your father is happy very."

Jia Hu didn't answer, but asked, "How did you rank in the township examination?"

Jia Zhen made a bitter face, and said happily: "It's so dangerous! It's just a few ahead of Sun Shan."

Jia Hu was amused.

"Oh, it's a pity that you are going back to Jinling, so you won't be able to drink my son's full moon wine." Jia Zhen felt very sorry.When he got married, Jia Hu was in Jinling, and his son Man Yue was also in Jinling.It's really no fate.

Jia Hu couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe we can go to Qionglin Banquet together, I just need to drink a few more glasses."

Jia Zhen originally wanted to ask about the Fifth Prince, but thought that Jia Hu would not be able to take the provincial examination that year when he was going to be a filial piety in September. When he passes the Qiuwei, it will be six years later, so that's all.Hearing Jia Hu's talk about Qionglin Banquet, he couldn't help saying happily, "That's really a good word from you."

On the eighth day of October, Jia Amnesty took Dafang and his family back to Jinling to help the spirit, and stayed in Jinling to observe filial piety.

Three years later, Jia Amnesty brought Liu Shi, Jia Ying, and Jia Lian back to Beijing, and Jia Hu went to Jinling Academy to study.

Another three years later, Qiu Wei and Jia Hu were the leaders of the case, so they returned to Beijing.My friend Zhao Yi went with me.

On the boat, Jia Hu smiled and asked Zhao Yi: "Why, are you willing to leave Pastoral?"

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "By spring next year, isn't he going to Beijing to catch the exam? It's you," Zhao Yi looked at him inquiringly, "Obviously no intention, why did you provoke Xianzong in the first place?"
