The story of Li Po Zi and others being taken to the conference room to beat the board soon spread in the back house of Ningguo Mansion.

Such a thing is rare in the Jia family, which is kind to govern the family, so the news is quickly obtained and they all rushed to the conference room to find out the trends.

"It's the first time that so many people are beaten together in our mansion. Hey, do you know why they are beaten?"

"I heard that this is what the second master meant. It seems that they were talking about gossip behind their backs. It seemed a bit unbearable, but it happened to be heard by the second master when he passed by..."

"Ah, that's right, then they're really unlucky."

In the spacious courtyard, eight mothers lined up in a row, each lying on a bench with sad faces.

Liu Tian's family stood on the steps, waiting to wave to torture him, a steward next to her said to her, "Sister-in-law Liu, look at their age, if they are thirty, they will lose half of their lives. In my opinion, I will just hit a dozen to show punishment. Anyway, the second master didn't say how much he beats. How happy Sister-in-law Liu is not merciful?"

This woman in charge had a good intention. Everyone was under the same roof, looking up but not looking down. Sometimes, they would forgive others and keep a mercy on each other. This is also the harmony of the big family.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Tian’s family heard this, they immediately glared at the cow’s eyes: “Nonsense, slaves slander their masters, the lightest thing is to be thirty-four sticks. This is the old rule in the hands of our ancestors. How could they change it for them?”

The manager was shocked, and then he secretly slapped himself in his heart and quietly retreated to the back.

Liu Tian's family was also very upset at this time. If it weren't for these mothers, how could the second master have thought of having this Lao Shizi picket team in the mansion? In the past, she was responsible for the inspection in the inner house. Once this picket team came out, wouldn't it take half of her power?

Thinking of this, Liu Tian’s family just wanted to beat them dozens of more and vent their anger, so they were not soft-hearted at all, and raised their hands and shouted:

"beat!"

......

Jia Qing and You Shi did not wait to supervise the implementation of the family law in front of the meeting room. In fact, Jia Qing was not as angry as the servants speculated about those talkative mothers.

On the contrary, Jia Qing can actually understand them very much. He only has a little work all day long. Why don’t hesitate to do family affairs after finishing his work? Since it is a family affairs, it is inevitable that he will not discuss right and wrong.

However, understanding is understanding, but it must not be tolerated!

The so-called rumors are from half truth and half false things. Slandering from others out of thin air is difficult to constitute such a half truth and half false situation, and it is often self-defeating.

However, these servants who live in the Jia family all day long can easily become rumor makers. If they are not curbed, it is easy to imagine that everything that happens in the Jia family in the future may be rumored. Even if anyone accidentally farts, it may become a joke and then know the streets and alleys that are rumored.

Therefore, in order to maintain the reputation of the Jia family, we must kill one to warn hundreds of people to serve as a warning to others.

Busy days always pass quickly, and Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

On this day, Jia Lian came to find Jia Qing through Ningguo Mansion and raised something that shocked Jia Qing.

"I heard it right, would you say it again?"

Jia Qing could hardly believe what he heard, looked at the person in front of him and asked him to repeat it again.

Jia Lian's face was also very awkward, but he still said, "This is the case. Because the Empress visited her, the expenses in the mansion were too high. Now there is really no money in the mansion, so..."

"So, are you here to borrow money from me?"

Looking at Jia Qing's strange expression, Jia Lian finally couldn't help but start to turn red. He blamed Wang Xifeng in his heart, why did he give him such an idea and embarrass him? It's pity that he has never been embarrassed about money like this in his life.

After a long time, Jia Qing finally understood completely that the dignified Duke Rong Guo’s mansion, the current imperial concubine’s family, had no money when the imperial concubine returned home to visit her relatives soon...

Who believes it if you say it?

Even Jia Qing held back his doubts and said, "If I remember well, I would have paid more than half of the money for building a garden for the Empress. Even after the garden is built, I would not be reluctant to live up to the place where it should be spent. If I want to be poor, I will be poor first. Instead, you should borrow money from me first?"

Jia Qing suspected that Jia Lian lost the gambling outside, so he asked him to fill the gap.

Jia Lian was even more uncomfortable, but he still smiled and said, "It was the second brother who was willing to spend money and built the garden where the empress visited her relatives like the Heavenly Palace. In this way, the various arrangements behind had to rise to more than one level, and the expenses were much higher than the men had expected before. Last time, the second brother brought a batch of crystal glass lanterns to hang them on the trees in front of the main hall of the garden. Later, the old lady said it was good when she saw it, so she asked all the trees on the main road of the garden to hang them. Just this alone would be a waste of tens of thousands of taels of silver..."

"Wait, let's do it, I have to blame for this?"

"No, no, my second brother misunderstood." Jia Lian hurriedly denied it, but his heart was full of slander: If you talk about it, you really have to blame you for this matter. If you have money, you don't know how to spend it. You have to smash it on it. The specifications have been greatly improved, making the two governments seem to not take the money seriously for this garden...

Seeing Jia Lian's appearance, Jia Qing finally believed that Jia Lian was really coming to borrow money from Rongguo Mansion, but he still had questions.

"A few days ago, didn't the Emperor and the Empress rewarded a large amount of gold, silver and cloth? Why did you have no money to use the silver?"

"The palace has given a lot of gifts, but the master said that the things given by the holy ones cannot be moved, so he asked someone to put them away..."

Jia Lian is also a pampered young man, and he is really not able to do a lot of money. Seeing that Jia Qing seemed to want to borrow money, he stood up and said, "If the second brother is nervous, then that's all. If I don't disturb my second brother's recovery, I'll leave first."

"etc."

Jia Lian turned around in surprise and said, "Is the second brother willing to lend me money?"

Jia Qing was speechless and said, "How much do you plan to borrow?"

"Not too much, not too much, only 50,000 taels...Don't worry, second brother, we just shortened a little for the time being. When I look back, I will come out of Curry Dian and sell it to my second brother in silver..."

After hearing this, Jia Qing knew that the Rongguo Mansion had spent money. To be precise, the current cash in the official government was currently out of business and had not been turned over. The Rongguo Mansion, which has always been accustomed to spending money, naturally could not adapt, so he had to borrow money from him so that he could calmly overcome the "difficulty".

To put it bluntly, Rongguo Mansion is not poor, at least not at the end of his life. Not to mention anything else, just because it happened to Yuanchun to visit relatives, the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts sent by each prefecture were particularly generous. With this sum, Rongguo Mansion will not be poor now.

However, Jia Lian came here to borrow money from him in person, and in the name of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Qing must say one or two: "Brother Lian also knows that the sources of our two governments are similar, and even Ningguo Mansion is not as good as Rongguo Mansion. Although I have done some business in the past two years, I am in the early stage. Even if I make some money, I will immediately take it out to expand my path. Besides, when my elder sister visited her this time, I don't mention Lian's second brother, I also know how much money I have paid in. Your Rongguo Mansion has almost spent all the money. Why is our Ningguo Mansion?

So, I'm afraid I can't afford 50,000 taels of silver here."

After Jia Qing finished speaking, seeing Jia Lian seemingly disbelief, he said, "If Brother Lian doesn't believe it, I can call the account manager over, and Brother Lian will understand as soon as he hears it."

As he said that, someone asked Li Yan to call him.

After Li Yan arrived, Jia Qing asked in front of Jia Lian without saying anything: "How much money is left in our Curry now?"

Li Yan glanced at Jia Lian and hesitated a little. Jia Qing said, "It's okay, just say it." Only then did Li Yan say, "Go back to Second Master, there are only less than 15,000 taels of cash left in our warehouse..."

Hearing this, Jia Qing signaled Li Yan not to say more, and smiled helplessly at Jia Lian, meaning: Look, I didn't lie to you.

Jia Lian originally thought Jia Qing was an excuse, but Jia Qing could not have known about his borrowing money in advance, so there was no possibility of colluding with Li Yan to deceive him, so he believed it and said regretfully: "Since my second brother is not well-off here, let's forget it, I'll go somewhere else to think of a solution."

After saying that, I will say goodbye again.

Jia Qing reached out and grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lian, we have a fight. It's the first time that Brother Lian asked me for help. How can I not help? In this way, I still have a few thousand taels of silver here, plus Curry's, and I will raise 20,000 taels of silver for Brother Lian, in total?"

"real?"

Jia Lian was a little unbelievable. Jia Qing himself had no money, so he was willing to lend him all his remaining family assets?

Jia Qing smiled brilliantly and said, "I don't have any money here at the moment, so it's okay to be tight, but your side is different. My elder sister is going home soon. This is the biggest thing in our family, and we can't miss it no matter how hard it is."

At this moment, looking at Jia Qing’s smile, Jia Lian suddenly felt very moved: My second brother is really a selfless person!

"For this reason, thank you for your second brother. By the way, I'll write an IOU to me now."

"Well, Li Yan, why don't you help Master Lian get paper and pen and paper!"

"Yes." Li Yan moved when he heard the sound. He finally understood Jia Qing's intention to call him over. At the moment he turned around, he could no longer hold back the smile on his face.

Jia Lian was also a little stunned. He originally thought Jia Qing would be very polite and generous and said he didn't need to write an IOU, but he was generous but asked him to write...

Jia Qing kept smiling on his face, and took advantage of this gap and asked, "What's going on in the mansion these days? Are our ancestors and the others all okay?"

Jia Lian said: "The mansion is good, and the ancestors are also good. That's right, just Meimei Lin is a little uncomfortable?"

"Hmm? Why, Sister Lin is sick again?"

Jia Lian nodded and saw that Jia Qing was a little worried, so he said, "Second brother, don't worry. Lin Meimei's body has always been like this. At this time of year, it is always a little bad, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Yes." Jia Qing nodded, but the smile on his face became much less dull.

"Okay, please stay, second brother."

After a while, Jia Qing sent Jia Lian to the door with a smile on his face. Jia Lian glanced at Jia Qing with a complicated expression before he quickly walked out of the door with Li Yan.
