As the wife of a low-level slave in Jia Province, Bao's second daughter-in-law should not have even played a dragon role in "Dream of the Red Chamber", but because she had a ridiculous affair with Jia Lian, the young master of Jia Province, this lowly slave actually set off a storm in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
First, Bao's second daughter-in-law secretly met with Jia Lian, and was arrested by Wang Xifeng, and several people made a big fuss, which disrupted Wang Xifeng's birthday party, causing trouble in Jia Mansion from Jia Mu down to all slaves. This matter was reconciled by Jia Mu, and it had just come to an end, and Lin Zhixiao's family brought a more unexpected message: "Bao Er's family has been hanged!" ”
Although most of the slaves in ancient times were lifelong, and there was a deed of sale signed with the master, after all, human life was at stake, and the death of a slave was not a trivial matter. Therefore, the mother-in-law of Bao's second daughter-in-law took advantage of this opportunity to make a fuss and wanted to sue her to the yamen.
Lin Zhixiao's family said, "I just persuaded them with the crowd, and I was frightened for a while, and I promised them a few dollars, and then I relied on them." Sister Feng said, "I don't have a single piece of money, and I don't give it when I have money." Just tell them to go, don't persuade him, don't threaten him, just let him sue, sue, but ask them a corpse to blackmail! ”
Indeed, this matter was too much for Wang Xifeng, a lowly slave, lying on his bed, stealing his husband, cursing himself for dying, and finally if he took out money to calm this matter, it was really more disgusting than eating a green-headed fly.
However, this matter can only be handled according to the methods of the Lin Zhixiao family, otherwise the face of the Jia family will be lost. For the Jia family, the so-called "family of poetry and etiquette", decency is the most important. If they really made trouble in Yamen, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian would inevitably have to confess in the hall, what was the matter?
Therefore, Wang Xifeng's tough attitude made Lin Zhixiao's family very embarrassed. Of course, the more embarrassing person is Jia Lian, after all, he is the culprit of this matter. Therefore, Jia Lian secretly gave Lin Zhixiao's family a look, and Lin Zhixiao's heart understood, so he came out to wait for Jia Lian.
Jia Lian came out and consulted with Lin Zhixiao's family, and asked the people to do good deeds and promised two hundred taels of silver. Jia Lian was afraid of a change, and then ordered someone to talk to Prince Teng, and called a few people such as Shu Zuo to help with the funeral... He also ordered Lin Zhixiao to put the two hundred taels of silver into the flowing account, and to supplement them separately, and to spend the past.
Who gave the two hundred taels of silver? Jia Zheng. Because Jia Lian was at this time managing for Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng himself did not like to manage household affairs, and he had extra trust in his nephew, and all expenses were managed by his nephew. Therefore, Jia Lian's "flower account", which should have been borne by himself, was written into the "flowing account" of the Jia family.
What's even more terrifying is that when Jia Lian did this, she was so handy and skilled! It can be seen that when Jia Lian managed the accounts for his uncle, this kind of thing was not done less in ordinary days! Jia Zheng also didn't know how much money he had spent in vain.
At this time, Jia Fu has long been unable to make ends meet, and the green and yellow are not connected. And the people of Jia Province, including Jia Zheng's nephews, are still calculating uncles in the open and in the dark!
At that time, Yuan Chun Province's relatives built a grand view garden and purchased various items, and those people in Jia Mansion did not know how much silver Jia Zheng had? This number is probably even more astonishing. When Jia Qiang took people to Gusu to buy small plays, Jia Lian said, "There are many hidden things here", which shows that making some extra money in private has become a semi-open secret.
What is earned openly, what is secretly spent, and what is "spent" has become an important way to drag down the economy of Jia Province. The death of Bao's second daughter-in-law, the two hundred taels of silver that Jia Lian spent, will present this biggest drawback very intuitively in front of the readers.
I have to say that Jia Zhengzhen really believes in the wrong person, and his most trusted nephew, Jia Lian, is a big moth around him.
