Soul of reincarnation

Chapter 9 Jia Cong in the Red Chamber

When officers and soldiers surrounded the Ningrong Second Mansion and learned that the house was going to be confiscated, Jia Cong sold the house that Jia She bought for him on a trader.

Even if the land deed and house deed cannot be found, the government has records of these things.Everything that fell under the name of the master of the Jia family was confiscated by the government.

Instead, it fell under someone else's name, and the government couldn't find out.For example, those two shops, and the house that Jia She told Jia Cong before he was released from prison.

After the Xing family was settled, Jia Cong had nothing else to do except visit the old lady every day.Jia Cong didn't go to the address that Jia She told him because he was afraid that someone would still be watching the Jia family who was released from prison, and he didn't contact Jia She's confidantes.

Jia Huan was grateful to the old lady for giving him a share of money that was not less than others, and went to pay her respects every day.Although the old lady is rarely sober, it is also his filial piety.

On the contrary, the Xing family, as well as Li Wan's mother and son, never went back to take a look since they left Jia's mansion.

The reason was naturally because she felt that the old lady was eccentric. After all, apart from the silver, the old lady also had a property shop and antiques in her private treasury. These were not distributed to everyone, but naturally they were all given to Jia Baoyu.

Li Wan and Xing's were dissatisfied, and they didn't pay attention to filial piety at this juncture, so they naturally ignored it.

Jia Huan didn't know the inside story, and even if Jia Cong knew, he didn't think it was a big deal.That was the old lady's private house, and she could give it to whoever she liked.What's more, Jia Baoyu is really filial to the old lady, because of this filial piety, if Jia Cong were an old lady, he would give him his property.

After a while, the day of exile for Jia Amnesty and others has been fixed.Jia Cong felt that nothing had happened, so he went to the secret room of the house and Jia Amnesty's confidant, and took away the two belongings.In order to prevent people from noticing the clues, the secret room was filled up and the house was sold again.

Feeling that it's almost time, she took sister Qiao out of the warehouse and went to the government to get rid of her slave status.He also bought Jia Lian's concubine Shi Ping and asked her to take care of Qiaojie.He told people that he asked someone to buy Qiaojie back, and gave generous gifts to Jia Yun and Grandma Liu's family who contributed money.

Feeling that everything that should be done has been done, he took Bao Yuhuan to visit the prison.

The people in the two rooms talked separately, he first told Jia Lian that sister Qiao had been found, and now he asked Miss Ping to take care of her.He also told Jia Amnesty about the old lady's physical condition, the private house money the old lady gave them, the family business he brought Jia Huan to set up, and how the female family members were arranged.

Jia Lian was very decisive. He immediately asked for a pen and paper, wrote the paperwork, and made Ping'er his wife and successor.And entrusted sister Qiao's marriage matters to her.

It's really that Xing's character is not good, and no one can restrain her without Jia She.She is a grandmother, if she randomly betroths Qiaojie for money in the future, no one can do anything to her.

Jia Cong also felt very good.Ping'er straightened her upright, and from that day on she would be able to take care of the housework in a legitimate way, and Jia Cong could also hand over the money to her, and there was no need to worry about the rest.It's not like now, when he gave Xing's money to let her manage her life, she made a fuss about it, and wanted to save her private money.Life is not quiet.

The land of exile is mostly a place of bitter cold, and the exiled prisoners used to have to open up wasteland or do heavy work.Jia She is getting old, and Jia Lian was spoiled, who can suffer?

Jia Cong bought two strong male servants for Jia She and Jia Lian respectively, and they could help them work when they arrived in exile.They also prepared bank notes and scattered silver, and asked them to do some work.I haven't forgotten to remind Jia Baoyu to prepare as well.

When several Jia family men set foot on the road of exile, the old lady also passed away one night.The Jia family, which had been divided into several families, got together again for the funeral.Jia Baoyu's room decided to help Ling return to Jinling, and he will also settle in his ancestral home in the future, and will not return to Beijing.

But Li Wan's mother and son lived with her natal family, and Jia Huan and Jia Cong both settled down in Beijing and bought property, and even their household registration was in Beijing, so naturally they didn't want to go to that strange ancestral land.

In the end, there was only Baoyu's room, together with You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the fourth girl, and Aunt Xue, whose parents and children had died and lived with her nephew Xue Biao, went back to Jinling to settle down with the old lady's coffin.By the way, he also brought Miaoyu, who was also going back to the south, and a group of nuns.

Feeling that the matter was completely over, and no one would stare at Jia's family anymore, Jia Cong found Jia She's confidantes, and beat Wang Ren and Jia Qin with sacks on those who had no good intentions towards Jia's family. , also discounted the legs.The few of them are just ordinary people. Even if they report to the officials, who will investigate this kind of lawsuit that has killed no one and has no clues?

Aunt Zhao also lived a life of being the master of the house. Jia Huan handed over the monthly rent to her, and took the odds and ends of the money she earned from copying books as her own pocket money, and her life was quite good.Although there is no silk and satin, rich clothes and fine food in the past, but you don't need to look at people's faces, you can make your own decisions, and your life is still comfortable.Aunt Zhao is aggressive and frugal, and she can save money every month to save money. She also thinks about marrying Jia Huan a wife in two years.

After Ping'er got upright, with the support of Jia Cong, he justifiably took over the housework.She had helped Wang Xifeng take care of Jia's mansion before, so it's no problem to take care of this small family now.

She didn't neglect the Xing family as much as Wang Xifeng did. The Xing family has gone through so many things, and their private house was stolen, and now they can only rely on Jia Cong, so she dare not be too picky.With such stumbling, the whole family survived.

Jia Cong bought the three members of the nanny's family separately so that they could be reunited as a family, released them as slaves, and gave them some money to vote for their relatives.As for the original eldest girl, she has already become a concubine for the merchant. Jia Cong saw that her life was not bad, so he ignored her.

Given the current situation of Jia Cong's family, the three women and children plus Jia Cong, an underage man, had better not reveal their wealth, so as not to cause disaster.

So Jia Cong didn't use servants, but hired people to do some rough work like Jia Huan's family.As for some small work, several people have learned to do it by themselves.

When nothing happens on weekdays, Jia Cong will call Qiaojie, the only niece in the family who is related to him by blood, to teach her to read and practice calligraphy.After suffering a lot, sister Qiao is very sensible, so Jia Cong is willing to love her more.

After the old lady's filial piety period was over, Jia Cong prepared a gift and asked someone to hand over a post, sending Ping'er and sister Qiao to visit Jia Yingchun.It is also known that although Jia's family has fallen, Jia Yingchun still has a family to walk around.

Fortunately, the other party's pursuit of Jia Yingchun was not for power, but to find a troublesome successor, and it is not much different now.What's more, Jia Yingchun is really gentle and courteous, and she has never caused trouble to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law for many years after her marriage, and she has never been jealous of concubines.Later, she gave birth to a daughter, and her relationship with her husband was better than when they were newly married.

The Jia family lived together in a large family, so even if they lost power, they would not be easily bullied by outsiders.There is also an official aunt who often comes and goes.Everyone knew that Jia's house had been stolen, but they didn't know how much money they had, and they didn't even buy a servant.Therefore, even though most of them were women and children, those rascals did not set their eyes on Jia Cong and Jia Huan's new home.

Jia Cong calculated that the time was almost up, so he packed his things and set out on his way with the amulet to visit Jia Amnesty in the place of exile.After all, Jia Cong cares about Jia Amnesty the most in this world.He was worried that Jia She was too old to bear the pain of exile.

Fortunately, the Jia She I saw was much older, but still healthy.

Jia Amnesty was shocked when he saw Jia Cong, who was busy in the world, and then became very excited. He thought he would never see his relatives again in his lifetime.

Busy to Jia Amnesty's residence to settle down, he unloaded the carriage brought by Jia Cong. There were all kinds of commonly used medicinal materials, coal, cotton-padded clothes and shoes, sweets and food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, miscellaneous utensils, And a freshly slaughtered sheep.

Jia She hurriedly said that he would eat braised mutton in the evening, and the two servants cleaned up and went to work in the kitchen.

Jia Amnesty pulled Jia Cong so that he could talk properly.

Jia She was exiled to open up wasteland and farm. Fortunately, he had two helpers, who were not very tired.If the land for land reclamation is not enough, it can also be filled with silver.However, because the two strong laborers Jia Cong bought for him were originally farmers, they had enough time to work.

The place where you spend money is the mouth of the three, and the more you dry, the more you will eat.Fortunately, Jia Cong gave enough money before he was exiled, so there is no problem.

In winter, there was a problem of keeping warm. They asked the local people to help them set up a kang, bought firewood and charcoal fire, and survived in the cold weather where icicles formed under the eaves.

Because Jia Cong didn't buy the kind of domestic slaves who lived a good life in rich and noble families when he bought people, but farmers who couldn't make a living, so these two people worked very hard.Jia She pays attention to the desire of appetite. In addition to eating enough and clothing warm, he often buys meat for tooth sacrifices.In the cold winter, they also bought burning knives to drive them away from the cold.

Therefore, both of them were very satisfied, and did not feel that accompanying him to the Land of Exile was to suffer.

Jia Cong is also very satisfied with this, not only is there someone to help the master with work, but he can also talk at ordinary times, so that the master will not be left alone.

Jia Amnesty had a premonition of the old lady's death, so he cried first.Later I heard that Jia Cong and Jia Huan lived next to each other, and there were some Jia family members who had a good relationship around them, and life was getting better, and they often came and went with Yingchun, and I felt comforted.

As for Baoyu's house going back to Jinling, Li Wan's mother and son almost cut off contact with Jia's family, Jia Amnesty didn't care at all.

In the evening, eating braised mutton and drinking a little wine, the father and son are also happy.The hard life has also tempered Jia She, and now he can do a little bit of everything, and he is satisfied with eating some meat and drinking bad wine.No longer angry about the second bedroom, no longer worried about the gradual decline of the Jia family.Anyway, the Jia family has fallen to the bottom, so there is nothing to worry about.Jia Amnesty now eats better and sleeps better.

In the next few days, Jia Cong looked at what was missing from Jia Amnesty, and drove the carriage, bringing back more coal, quilts, grain, shochu, and slaughtered pigs and sheep.He brought back a few hens so that Jia She, master and servant, could eat an egg every day.

In winter, there was nothing to do except sweeping snow, so Jia Cong got some leaf cards and the like to give them a pastime.

Jia Amnesty and his son kissed each other for a few days, and then urged Jia Cong to return to Beijing. What good is there to stay in such a place?Jia Cong saw that he had made good arrangements here, so he had nothing to worry about, and he didn't refuse, and quietly left him a sum of money, only saying that he would come back next year.

Jia Amnesty really didn't want him to work hard, but Jia Cong ignored his opinion.With Ping'er and Jia Huan in Beijing, there was nothing for him to worry about.If it wasn't for Jia She's life-and-death disagreement, he would rather stay here. Apart from the bad weather, there is nothing wrong with it.

Saying goodbye to Jia Amnesty, Jia Cong thought about it, and went to visit Jia Lian along the way, and also brought him a cart of things.

After bidding farewell to Jia Lian, Jia Cong drove to an uninhabited place, put the carriage into the warehouse, and drove the road by himself with a magic amulet. When he arrived at a place not far from the center of Beijing, he took out the carriage and bought a cart of leather goods on the trader. , Drive to Beijing.

Before he went out, he told Xing Jiahuan and the others that he was going out to see if there was any small business to do.They brought a truckload of fur goods into their house, and kept a few for their own use, and sold the rest to fur shops in central Beijing every few days, which was a clear way for the money they earned.Xing also thinks that he is very capable and promising.

So this year's Chinese New Year, the family of four lived very comfortably.
