After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 253 Raising Money

"Oh? Really?" He Jiabei didn't believe what he said at all. His face darkened and he ordered: "Open it and let me see!"

But the housekeeper waved his hand guiltily and said, "It's better to say goodbye. It's very dirty."

He Jiabei felt more and more suspicious that his behavior was suspicious, so he grabbed the baggage on his shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? Just show me."

The steward refused, so the two men started to grab it. After a fight, the bundle fell to the ground and the contents fell out.

He Jiabei knelt down and took a closer look. He was shocked and yelled angrily: "These are all treasures collected in my father's study. Well, Uncle Fu, you actually stole something!"

The butler's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, you have misunderstood, you have misunderstood!"

"Still want to quibble? You will get both the stolen goods and the stolen goods!" He Jiabei glared at him and said.

"That's not the case!" The butler was still defending himself.

"Let's go see my father!" He Jiabei grabbed his sleeve and started to walk to He Zixu's residence.

At this moment, He Zixu suddenly appeared from behind the tree, walked over, and said: "Jiabei, please don't accuse Afu unjustly anymore. He is acting on my orders."

Mrs. He San quickly added: "Yes, no secrets can be revealed."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked and started whispering.

Mrs. He Da agreed: "That's right, if we are shamelessly asked to go back to our parents' house to borrow money, how can we have the face to meet them?"

He Zixu shook his head and said: "Not yet, I don't want to alarm the emperor yet."

He Zixu put his hands behind his back, walked around in a circle, and said: "Your father and I have been officials for decades. We are neither greedy for money nor selfish. Our salary is meager and we are stretched thin."

He Zixu sighed and said: "If the situation was not critical, I would not take this step."

"Dad, I didn't mean that." He Jiabei grabbed his sleeve and explained: "I mean, let's go discuss it with everyone."

Mrs. He Er snorted and said: "People see how majestic and beautiful the Guangping Prince's Palace is, but I am really dumb and can't tell how hard it is to eat coptis."

The third child, He Jiadong, frowned and asked, "Dad, are you really not allowed to reveal it?"

So, he ordered the housekeeper to summon his concubines and sons in the main hall.

Seeing this, He Zixu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you all just do your best."

He Zixu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I am indeed old, and I must listen to my son's teachings."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiabei took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and said to everyone: "Okay, now everyone take out all the silver."

He Zixu warned: "You all must keep your mouth shut. If there is any leakage, the He family will be destroyed."

He Jiabei asked: "Then, have you reported this matter to the emperor?"

He Jiabei said with a worried look on his face: "But sooner or later the incident will come to light!"

"No way?" He Jiabei looked in disbelief.

"that is!"

"Mom, you seem very happy." Seeing her smiling, He Jiabei laughed too and said.

He Zixu then told him the ins and outs of the matter. When He Jiabei heard that the gift had turned into stone, he was shocked and asked, "Has the gift been diverted?"

"Ah?" He Jiabei was startled when he heard this.

Mrs. He San picked up another golden walking stick and said, "I didn't say it, but in my heart I felt that the master was biased towards them."

He Zixu let out a long sigh, stood up from his seat, walked down the hall, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "I can only say that this matter is related to the life and death of the He family."

However, He Zixu gave a bitter smile and said: "Guangping Prince's Palace is just a fancy thing but not useful."

He Jiabei had no choice but to persuade: "Dad, we are a family. We share blessings and hardships. The He family's army has a brilliant shooting record. It depends on cooperation. Unity is strength."

Mrs. He San stroked a string of jade beads in her hand and said: "I don't know until now that your father is not mean to our mother and son. I used to see the first lady and the second lady wearing gold and silver, competing for beauty and beauty all day long. I

He Hua is also called Jingchai's cloth skirt."

He Jiabei thought for a while and suggested: "By the way, let's discuss it with everyone. Dad, aunt, and second mother's parents are all wealthy, so they can help."

He Jiabei was startled when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Don't our He family still have fields and houses for rent, so the income should be pretty good."

Mrs. He San stood up and asked: "Is the jewelry okay?"

He Zixu sighed and said: "I was really too careless and fell into the thief's trick. Although we are secretly investigating, there is no result yet."

"Are you jealous?" He Jiabei joked with a smile.

"Do you even need to say this?"

He Jiabei said: "Our Prince Guangping's family has a lot of wealth, so there is no need to sell off our treasures, right?"

The second eldest child, He Jiaxi, asked worriedly: "Dad, what happened? Please tell me quickly. The whole family has to raise money. This matter is very serious."

He Zixu nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Okay, you are right, I will do as you said."

He Jiabei nodded and said, "Of course you can, but the jewelry must be sold off first."

At this time, Mrs. He Er curled her lips and said, "I don't have any money. All the household expenses given by the master were used at home. I have no money."

Mrs. He Da also said: "The gold and silver jewelry and clothes I wear are all private money from my mother's family, and I don't have any."

He Zixu frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "In order to cover up others' deception, I have to temporarily sell some things to make up for it."

After saying this, everyone dispersed one after another. He Jiabei accompanied his mother back to the room, and saw her searching out all the jewelry in the room, placing it on the table, holding each piece in her hand and looking at it, with a smile on her face.

Full of smiles.

He Zixu sighed: "I don't want them to be worried about this matter."

He Jiabei couldn't stand listening anymore and said loudly: "Really, now that we have reached this point, why are you talking about face? Face is second, money is something external to the body, and everyone, please remember to keep it secret."

He Zixu said, "Oh, think about it. The number of the three-bedroom family members and their servants has exceeded half a hundred. In addition, the expenses of the Shangwu Hall have to be supplemented. The Guangping Prince's Palace is already a powerful one."

He Jiabei nodded slightly and said quietly: "To be honest, I always thought that dad was stingy. It turns out that he had other reasons."

Mrs. He San continued: "I only found out today that the private money used by the eldest madam and the second madam was brought by their natal family. Then the knot in my heart is gone."

He Jiabei glanced at the various jewelry in her hand and said, "My mother's family is rich, so it's natural for her to dress gorgeously. There's nothing to be jealous of."

Mrs. He San murmured: "How can mother hide her secrets in such a catastrophic situation? Your father is right, only when there is a country can there be a family, and only when there is a family can we both exist. These are all external things, and we will come back after all the money is gone."

Well. As long as your father can get through this difficulty this time, our good days are still to come!"
