As soon as the night fell, the lights in Jiafu were lit, and it was slightly cold in the moonlit night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the Lantern Festival, news came out in the palace that the emperor and an old concubine were not in good health. The dynasty rules the world with filial piety. All the concubines and concubines reduced their meals and makeup, could not save their relatives, and were free of pleasure. Therefore, the two mansions of Ningrong are now powerful, but the lights in the mansion are deserted.

Jiafu West Road, Sister Feng's courtyard. Sister Feng was wearing a pink single dress, leaning on the bed, covered with a bright color aqua blue thin quilt, and her lower abdomen was slightly raised, showing some nostalgia. She is more than three months pregnant.

The interior is like spring. Sister Feng frowned, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she knew that she was thinking about things at a glance.

Ping'er went to Mrs. Wang and came back, and said to Sister Feng, "Mrs. is accurate", and couldn't help but persuade: "Why are you suffering?" You are a man with a body. The affairs of the house are in charge of the three girls. She is the third master's sister. Who dares to be weird? ”

Sister Feng is pregnant. At the suggestion of Jia Huan, Jiafu governed affairs with Li Kun and Tanchun. Li Kun is still virtuous and talented, and he is not lenient in governing his family. In the past two days, he went to Dongzhuang Town to visit his son Jia Lan. Jia Lan is about to take the county test. The internal affairs of Jiafu are all pressed on Min Tanchun.

The internal affairs of Jiafu are the final say of Mrs. Wang. Of course, if Jia Huan made a suggestion, Mrs. Wang would weigh it carefully.

Jia Huan suggested that Sister Feng rest, not to fight with Mrs. Wang. His gaze had already gone beyond Jiafu. He just cares about Sister Xiafeng's body and returns her father's favor. Modern medicine says it very clearly: pregnant women should have a good rest in the first trimester.

However, Sister Feng is very addicted to power, has a good face, and is competitive. Although she is pregnant, although she is "rested", after all, Jia Huan did not say that she was deprived of the right to manage internal affairs. Moreover, Mrs. Wang also relies on Sister Feng very much. Therefore, in fact, Sister Feng is still in charge of some of the trivial affairs of Jiafu.

This is very bad for her body.

Ping'er, as Wang Xifeng's side, knows it very well. Sister Feng has added many illnesses in the past two days. But, where is Sister Feng willing to listen to Ping'er's persuasion? She is physically strong and young.

Sister Feng glared at the phoenix's eyes, counted Ping'er, and sneered: "What about Brother Huan'er's interests, the mansion is now poor, and there is not a penny of silver in the account of the public middle school." Isn't he anxious about to fight a famine? The three girls are good. But those in charge of the house, which one is worry-free? ”

In the original book of Red Mansions, without the rise of Jia Huan, Sister Feng would also let Tanchun score three points, and she would not dare to provoke Tanchun easily. Not to mention now!

She didn't have any idea of arguing with Tanchun. After all, he is going to get married after the spring visit. She recognizes and appreciates Tanchun's talent. She targeted the housekeeper's wife and daughter-in-law. Fighting eyes, the daughter-in-law of the house, who can fight her?

Ping'er only shook his head, changed the topic, and said, "I heard about the lack of money in the public school. I almost couldn't send the money this month. Listening to our master, the third master took 3,000 taels of silver to the public middle school for turnover. ”

Wang Xifeng nodded and said thoughtfully: "If you want me to say, if you are not careful in this situation in the house, it will be a catastrophe." "The ransom of 500,000 taels of silver hollowed out the family of Jiafu. The people below felt it clearly, but she and her husband Jia Lian were very clear.

Jia Mansion can now be said to be looking at the scenery. Inside, however, there are big holes: valuable assets such as land, businesses, and shops are mortgaged to the ticket numbers of Jin merchants. 7% per month (0.7%). The use of the house, everything is going around, like walking on thin ice!

At this time, Feng'er raised the curtain.

Jia Lian walked in with a sigh, dressed in a blue brocade robe and handsome. Tired, he sat down in a chair and picked up the teapot on the table and poured it down. Jia Lian has a bad relationship with Sister Feng now, but he has been extremely poor these days, so he doesn't fool around outside.

Wang Xifeng said dissatisfiedly: "What are you sighing for?" How's it going? ”

Jia Lian was impatient and nodded, "Mandarin duck agreed." Carry out two boxes of things that the old lady doesn't need. Put it up for sale at the auction on the second day of February. It is estimated that it will fetch 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Ask the mandarin duck to help take out the old lady's things and sell them. There is no way to do it. It was he who made his own decisions. He was very grateful to Jia Huan for giving 40,000 taels of silver to fill the hole his father had made.

These two boxes of things were taken to the pawnshop, but they were only 3,000 taels of silver, and when they were sent to the faith auction house, they could get 10,000 taels of silver. 10,000 taels of silver looks like a lot, and in terms of the current situation in Jiafu, it is just a drop in the bucket.

How much foreign debt does Jia Fu owe now?

With the eight big Zhuangzi left by the ancestors in Heishan Village, 300,000 taels were mortgaged, 30,000 taels were mortgaged by the honeycomb coal business, and 100,000 taels were mortgaged by the ice cream and rouge businesses. total, 430,000 taels. Monthly interest: 3,000 taels (3010 taels).

What about the output of Jiafu?

In the eight Zhuangzi, without disaster, it is 20,000 taels of silver a year. In the event of a disaster, the output is halved. Honeycomb coal, the profit has fallen to two or three thousand taels a year. The ice cream business is not large, with strong seasonality, and the net profit has dropped to 4,000 taels a year.

Rouge, the market sales volume is smaller, and the profit is only 2,000 taels a year. In total, about 30,000 taels. But the interest that Jia Fu has to pay a year is 36,000 taels. This is not counting the daily expenses and personal contacts of Jiafu.

The expenses of various parts of Jia Province are not detailed. Plus a post-war pension. Jia Huan rectified the wind and traced the corruption in the construction of the Grand View Garden, and all the tens of thousands of taels of silver obtained by corruption were used up. On the account of Jiafu Gongzhong, 10,000 taels of silver were left for the New Year, and it was already light.

In fact, Jia Fu is bankrupt!

Therefore, if it weren't for Jia Huan, who is now in charge, he would have been crushed.

If another business like perfume is created, Jia Fu can immediately turn around.

It's just that Jia Huan's attention has been on the auction recently. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiahuan's gourd? Can it be done by just one auction house?

…

…

The Grand View Garden has a bit of a silent taste in the night. The mothers-in-law on duty now dare not eat or drink or gamble. Everywhere is very strict. After the Lantern Festival, a notice was posted on the wall of the Rong Mansion Steward's Office: Calling for frugality.

Everyone in the mansion knows that the mansion is now in difficulty and lacks money. However, the monthly silver and benefits are all issued in a timely manner, and it is not possible to say that people's hearts fluctuate.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu talked with several maids and spent the evening. Outside the window, green bamboo and moonlight, quiet and elegant.

Baochai was busy arranging and renovating the Ruyang Hou Mansion, which was one street away from Mochizuki. This has been identified as the new residence of Jia Huan and Baochai. Xiangling followed Baochai.

Because Xue Zhen was about to leave for Jiangnan to do business, Baoqin was worried about her brother. Xiangyun fell ill after the beginning of spring. Li Kun and Tanchun were busy dealing with the affairs of the house. Welcoming spring, preparing a wedding dress. It is said that Jia Huan privately talked to her about the candidate. Xichun followed the painter hired by Jia Huan to learn painting. She received an order from Jia's mother to draw a map of the snow-glazed world of the Grand View Garden.

The Begonia Society, just like this, the company and the club were delayed.

In the bedroom, the maids sat around. My mother died a few years ago, and I was depressed. She has always had a sullen temperament and says little.

Zijuan understood what Daiyu meant, and said to Daiyu sitting behind the guqin: "Girl, don't worry. The third master is very capable. ”

Daiyu nodded. sighed softly in his heart: Brother Huan refused to use her silver.

How did she not know that Jiafu was short of silver? Now, it seems, is pointing to the newly renovated auction house to make a profit. But....

Sister Lin is also not optimistic about Jia Huan's plan.
