Chapter 187 The Three Thousand World Mirror: The World of Red Mansions (3)
In fact, if we really count it, the two divisions thrown by Yang Xiangwei seem fair, but they are actually "particular".
After all, no matter which one it is, only Jia She is losing, and it will never be Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng was the second son. According to the law of this dynasty, he could only get a small head. If he was a concubine's son, he would only get less.
But there was still a debt above the Jia family, and there was still a debt that had to be repaid.
Yang Xiangwei directly threw the matter of who would repay the debt to the two brothers and asked them to discuss it themselves.
If Jia Zheng is a little selfish, he can choose the second one.
Although the second type cannot be divided into Jia Mu's dowry, how old is the Jia family? Even if he only divides 30% or 40%, he is definitely richer than ordinary families and can be a rich and rich person.
However, if Jia Zheng chooses the second type, his reputation as a scholar will be bad, and others will say that he ignores his brother's life or death.
If he chooses the first type, both 30% and 40% but pays back 30% and 40% of the debt, then he will actually get less. The advantage is that he can not only gain the reputation of "brothers and brothers", but also get Jia Mu's dowry.
When Jia She talked to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang was also talking to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng was a little stunned. Yang Xiangwei threw too many bombs today, so he could not react directly by making his brain escape.
The shrewd Mrs. Wang is different. She originally envied her sister-in-law for marrying her uncle who could be surrendered to the title and become a general's wife in the future. When Jia Daishan was alive, she was still the second wife of Duke Rong's mansion. Once Jia Daiyang died and then split the family, she was just a "second wife Jia" who was nothing.
It was a loss, but the old lady actually had the idea of splitting up?!
But if there is no separation, the Jia family will pay back the money, what else can be left?
Besides, the old lady is so old that I don’t know how many years she can live. It’s okay for her to live, but the old lady is going to die?
When Mrs. Wang thought of paying back the money and dying again, she would come to separate the family again, and she didn't know what their second wife could get, so Mrs. Wang shivered.
"Master, I think, otherwise, we would have divided the family?"
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say it directly. She looked at Jia Zheng's face and tentatively tentatively.
"Divid the family?" Jia Zheng turned his head and looked at her.
"Yeah!" Mrs. Wang nodded and analyzed it carefully with him, "You think, the Jia family owes such a large sum of money from the royal family. If we really have to wait for the uncle to repay the money, then how much can we get? No matter how rich the old lady is, it is impossible for a Duke Rong Mansion to be rich, right? What's more, when the little girl got married, Hongzhuang Ten Miles and those good things were all added by the old lady..."
She wanted to remind Jia Zheng that the old lady is indeed Miss Shi’s family, one of the four major families, and that she would definitely bring a lot of dowry when she married into the Jia family.
But the problem is that after so many years, the Jia family has also married many girls.
Not to mention the others, just Jia Min, who was married, was full of red makeup and full of pomp. It must be the old lady who took out her dowry and stuffed it in.
After spending so much time, even if the old lady still has good things, it is probably impossible for her to surpass the Jia family's family's wealth?
For a moment, Jia Zheng also analyzed according to Mrs. Wang's words.
That's right, no matter how rich the old lady is, how much is left after being divided up like this?
What's more, she was just a married daughter of the Shi family. The dowry she received was just like Jia Min now, but it was "given" to her by others. If others didn't give it to her, how many could she have?
If someone else gives her the money, it is impossible to give her the money.
But the Jia family is different. The Jia family has three generations of ministers, his father is still Duke Rong, so how can the money in his hand be less?
However, Jia Zheng hesitated a little: "The old lady is still here, and it's not good to split the family like this... isn't it?"
I completely forgot that in the way of splitting up the family mentioned by Yang Xiangwei, in addition to splitting up the family first and then paying back the money, there is also the way of paying back the money first and then splitting up the family first.
I don’t know if it was Jia Zheng who really forgot it or did not remember it on purpose.
"It's not very good, but wasn't the old lady mentioned this matter himself?" Mrs. Wang looked at him with an innocent look on his face, "We children, we must not ignore our parents, right?"
"So you said."
...
The same goes for Jia She and Mrs. Zhang, and they are also discussing this matter.
However, they thought differently from Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Zhang said: "Whether it is to pay back the money first and then divide the family, or pay back the money later, I think the focus now should be to first find out how much money the Jia family has, and whether the money can be paid off. If it is enough, how much can we have left after paying it back..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang paused for a moment, "Master, I'm actually a little worried. I'm afraid that the family's money will not be enough to pay it back."
"It's not enough to pay it back?! It shouldn't be so?" Jia She was surprised.
Although the Jia family has always been the head of the Jia family, as the prince's wife, Mrs. Zhang has noticed the incoming and outgoing of the Jia family's money.
But in previous years she didn't know that the Jia family owed this money, so she had never considered the issue of Jia's savings. Today, Mrs. Zhang was also shocked - with the Jia family's current income and payment, if she wanted to pay off the huge amount, she would have to pay off the money, right?
Mrs. Zhang doesn’t know how thick this is and whether it is thick enough.
Mrs. Zhang leaned into Jia She's ear and roughly talked about the income and expenditure of the Jia family in recent years.
Jia She, who has never been worried about money since he was born, has always been a big deal and can buy a fan for thousands of taels: "..."
——Wait, our family is so poor?!
——I always thought that my family had an income, but in fact, the money I had just spent was enough to save it, so I had no money at all.
If it were in the past, Jia She didn't think there was any problem with this, but the problem was that when Yang Xiangwei talked about the family's income today, she specifically mentioned that once Jia Daishan died, the source of money in the family would be reduced.
Jia She: "..."
——The income is already balanced, and the income has been reduced again, and I have to pay back that amount of money. Does the Jia family really have money?!
Jia She felt frightened and suddenly felt that the chair under her butt was a little hot and she couldn't sit steadily.
"Really? Did you make a mistake?" Jia Sheru asked, "You haven't taken care of this money anymore. Haven't the old lady always been in charge of it?"
"Master, you forgot that before the Duke of the State passed away, I asked me to temporarily take over part of it last year." Mrs. Zhang reminded Jia She, yes, is the Jia family now her leader, but she had already taken care of part of it for Mother Jia last year.
In this way, if she can still understand some of the situation in the Jia family, she will be stupid.
Although she couldn't guarantee that the situation she felt was very accurate, she was almost inseparable and would not be too different. This is called "a leaf falls to tell autumn", and a glimpse of the leopard in the veil.
Jia She's little heart was beating, and he couldn't sit still now. He asked Mrs. Zhang to stay in the room and come by himself.
