[Comprehensive] Scum mother go away

Because Rong Mansion prayed for Jia Daishan to release the servants, there was no sound in other places in the capital. Such things are common in the capital at this time. Yes, there will always be such troubles, that is, there are too many servants, and the family expenses are too large, and it is impossible to reduce them. Therefore, this method of releasing people is used to remove some redundant and unusable servants in the family.

Therefore, not many people paid attention to what Jia's mother did, but there were a few nearby. Seeing these people released with large bags and small bags, they couldn't help but praise a few words, saying that Jia's family is benevolent, Look at the servants released, all of them are quite rich, and they can become wealthy households after they come out. Sure enough, those sayings are right, the servants of this rich family are more affordable than ordinary people.

Only the Ning Mansion next door can see it more clearly, especially in Jia Jing's place. Recently, because of the heavy responsibility of the family, this former nerd has a little more fireworks, in order to quickly replace his seriously ill father. , to take care of the trivial matters at home, so that his father would not have to worry about his father's illness. It is often inconvenient for him to ask about his father's affairs, so he would directly ask someone to see how the Rong Mansion next door is doing. I have learned a lot, so I am still very alert to the movement next door.

Knowing that many of the people released from the next door were first-class buyers and managers, the top managers among the servants of the Rong Mansion, he was a little puzzled. I can tell my father and want to get some teaching.

Jia Daihua is a smart man. When he heard what his son said, he immediately asked his grandson to find Jia She next door, because he once traveled all the way to Jinling and even teamed up to clean up the Jinling people. Now the two uncles and nephews are in a good relationship. easier.Knowing people and making good use of them is also one of the ways of housekeeping, and it is a common principle in the world. On this point, Jia Daihua still does it very neatly.

Jia Zhen came back from a circle, and naturally brought back the specific reasons. Hearing that the crimes committed by the shopkeepers next door, and there are various evidences of crimes, even Jia Daihua was a little dumbfounded. For a military general family, most of the servants in the family have practiced military methods since the previous generation. It is said that they are still very standardized. How can such a thing happen now?Most of the parents of these stewards were from the family guards of the ancestors, and they were the most trusted ones.

With doubts and disbelief, Jia Daihua couldn't help but send someone to check the people in his home one by one. If you don't check, you don't know. Once you check, you are shocked, and your home is no better than the next door. After a long time, all the heroes in the past have become rats in the mansion, moths, bit by bit, quietly eating away at their own family property, which made Jia Daihua almost sick again Get up again.

Now that he knew it, it was impossible for Jia Daihua to remain indifferent, so it was reasonable for Jia Jing, in order to accumulate blessings for his seriously ill father, to release others, and invited the servants at the side of the house, Some rules were re-enacted, so that the atmosphere inside and outside the entire Ning Mansion was improved, and most importantly, an invisible effect came out.

Because it was Jia Jing who did it in the first place, among the servants, the prestige of Jia Jing, the future patriarch and patriarch, has also unknowingly increased a lot. I thought he was just a fool who didn't care about things. The servants finally knew what was good and what was wrong, and knew that the master was not easy to fool, and each of them started to tuck their tails, being very honest and respectful.

Not long after the matter here has been dealt with, Jia Jing has not been able to breathe a sigh of relief and continue his small days of being filial to his father, studying, and occasionally going to the yamen to show his presence.Jia Amnesty from next door came again, and it was big news as soon as he came, that he had to pay back the money owed to the treasury.

To be honest, because Jia Daihua is not dead yet, Jia Jing doesn't even have much awareness of the fact that his family owes money to the treasury, and he doesn't even know how much he owes, but he only knows roughly It’s just such a matter, but he didn’t want to. Now that this matter was brought up, and it was so straightforward, he was stunned again. He didn’t know what to do. His father is still alive, otherwise he must be at a loss.

On the other hand, Jia Daihua was also a little confused when he heard this.Jia Daihua is now more and more incomprehensible to the sister-in-law next door. He didn't think how powerful this person was before. He used to think he was a bit too face-saving. Why has it changed now?Was it really arranged by my cousin before his death?Or did the pillars of the family disappear all of a sudden, and the sister-in-law suddenly stood up?No matter what the reason is, Jia Daihua has to admit one thing, that is, this time, the sister-in-law did nothing wrong, and she also grasped the timing.

To be honest, he also thought about reneging on the debt. After all, most of the money was spent for the emperor. It is really because of this kind of thinking that the reason for repaying debts is a little unreasonable. If there is no reason, it will naturally be delayed. As time goes by, because other people in the capital owe more and more money to the treasury. The child is getting more and more stuck. If you change money, what will people do?You, the emperor, have paid back all the money spent. Does that mean that those who owe money for themselves are very dishonest?What is it if this is not offending people?

The most important thing for people in the officialdom is to be in harmony with each other. You can't be a different kind. Once you become a different kind, you will definitely be hostile by everyone. It is precisely because of this that Jia Daihua also became a bad guy. Members, anyway, what they owe is the money of the country, and there is no interest. It is okay to wait for others to act first, and they will not suffer. Everyone has the same idea.

It's just that Jia Daihua is also the emperor's confidant.In other words, he was the former emperor's confidant, and he was one of the leading generals. Regarding the country's financial situation, the annual expenditure of the frontier army is very clear, and he knows that the money in the treasury is really tight. It is easy to have a national fiscal deficit. As long as the country has no money, the emperor will inevitably think of these arrears. , For this, he really had a headache and thought of some solutions, but he couldn't make any progress.

Now suddenly, the sister-in-law next door has found such a way out, using the last words of the deceased to complete the debt repayment, and almost all the big debtors can't say anything bad, that's really Too smart isn't it?It turned out that the identity of this widow can be used to block evil spirits, which is really amazing.

With such a beginning, Jia Daihua thought about his own family again, and somehow he came up with some clues. It seems that his family can also make up for it. Even if he doesn’t pay all of it, he only pays a part of it, which can make his family in the future. When the emperor liquidated the silver owed by the treasury, it was easier than others to get out of it.If you do it more neatly, you can't say that you can win more trust from the emperor for your family and pave a good way for your son's future.

When he thought of this, there was nothing to be blamed on, and he immediately greeted his son and began to count his own warehouse, and even asked someone to carry him to the door of the warehouse out of caution, and just sat there, watching the counting rooms one by one.He also took out all the 50 taels of silver from the treasury and put it aside.

"Father, should we pay it all?"

Jia Jing just didn't care about the money. Now, looking at the vain money, which accounted for half of the silver in the warehouse, was about to be sent out, and he couldn't help but feel distressed. Looking at Jia Daihua's pitiful look, Jia Daihua greeted him with a blank stare.

"After all, it has to be paid back. Compared with the glory that the Jia family has been able to last for decades, what is this money? As long as you can manage the family diligently, the money will always increase, and the holy family will be different. Once lost, then It won't be easy to get it back, and it's very worthwhile to exchange silver for a holy family."

Having said that, Jia Daihua couldn't help but sigh a little, if it weren't for the fact that the next generation in the family is not outstanding, seeing the talents who can be promoted steadily, why would he be so calculated to buy a holy family with money?For those who are truly favored by the Sacred Heart, I am afraid that even if they really have to pay back, they will not end up in the end.That's how embarrassing people like them are so careful to survive.

"At my father's age, this time is a good life, and the danger of life and death is expected to be avoided, but what about the next time? I'm afraid it will be difficult, so before I die, it's better to get some things done first. In this way, Even if all of you don’t live up to expectations, since I will be loyal for the rest of my life and serve the country at the end of the day, I can keep your life peaceful, so that your children and grandchildren will not end up in trouble.”

Having said that, Jia Daihua has actually made up his mind. Such a good opportunity will never come again. If the old accounts are not cleared at this time, it will be really difficult next time. These nobles in the capital can bear it once , but will not bear the next time they betray everyone like this.Taking advantage of Jia Daishan's death and his own critical illness, they settled this matter. Thinking about the good, they could understand that they wanted to push the Jia family that was about to decline.It is for future generations.I just don't understand, how many years can I live?At that time, it's not easy for them to care about the dead. At most, these people will stop interacting with their own families, so they won't do anything to the Jia family, and their children and grandchildren will be considered safe.

Thinking of this, Jia Daihua turned his head and said to his son:

"Go and see, when that kid Jia Amnesty will pay back the money, and then you will send it along with me, saying that I want to settle the old debt before I die. In this way, you will be considered as one way, and you will pay it all at once. Don't worry." Give people a chance to separate, otherwise they will cause trouble in the future."

At this moment, Jia Daihua really didn't have the heart to tell his son what was going on here, and was only immersed in his own thoughts, so he only ordered such a sentence that made Jia Jing a little vague. Fortunately, Jia Jing is a filial child , I also knew the seriousness, seeing that my father stopped talking, even though he didn't understand, he still went to find Jia Amnesty obediently.

The next day, just after dawn, the gates of the two houses began to be bustling. The cars were full of boxes, and they started walking to the household department without making a sound. People on the street looked a little curious and asked questions. I said a few words, but I didn't think that the members of the Jia family were like gourds that had been taken from their mouths, and they were stunned to say nothing.

The people outside don't know that after the servants of the Jia family's two mansions went through the incident of releasing people in the mansion, most of those with big mouths were released. With the permission of the master's family, I can talk casually, so if I want to ask something, it is really not easy. On this trip, except for those people who move things from the warehouse, other coachmen and so on, I really don't know what it is. What is it, I just follow my master obediently.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Accounts, the boxes carried inside one by one really scared the ministers of the Ministry of Accounts. They really had never seen this posture. They had only heard that they came to borrow money. I have seen people who came to pay back the money, do you think they can believe it?A few small officials were even worse, they rushed outside immediately, turned their heads to see which side the sun was rising from today, or wiped their eyes and opened them wide, thinking they were wrong.

After they finally came to their senses, almost all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were in place. Hearing Jia Amnesty touching his tears and talking about his father's last words while counting the money, the hands of those little officials were shaking!When have they ever seen so much silver except when collecting tax silver?It's not just one family, besides Rongfu, there is actually Ningfu. Jia Jing said something even more mysterious, saying that his father said that he still owes money if he doesn't want to die, and it's not safe to go down. It's all over.

Lord Shangshu was so excited that tears came down, this is a loyal minister, an absolute loyal minister!He has been in charge of the household department for so many years, and he has seen a lot of people who don't use the treasury's money as money. For the first time, he discovered that there is still justice in the world, ah, no, there are still reasonable people in the world.Sure enough, there is still a market for debt repayment, and some people follow it. It is really not easy.

When the old man got agitated, he didn't even look at the money. He was struggling to go to the palace to play for the emperor. The servant next to him stopped him and advised him to wait until the counting was over before going, but the old minister refused to do it. Well, people said, who are the two Dukes of the Jia family?It's a loyal minister!Now that the money has been sent over, how can you still suspect that someone is short of money?This is an insult to the Jia family, it is distrust, it is wrong!

This meal of spitting on the outline and on the line, sprayed the saliva all over the servant's face, but in front of Jia's family, the servant still couldn't talk back.Can you say that the Jia family is not a loyal minister?Not a believer?People paid back the money, this is the biggest proof!Before that, did you see that other houses paid back the money?

It's just that he can't say nothing, or it would be too embarrassing, so he can only explain in a good voice:

"I'm also doing this for safety. Your Majesty will definitely ask about the situation when you go to the palace. Now let's do it first and put the money into the account. In this way, the procedures for our household department will be considered complete, and the Jia family will be considered to have completed the repayment." , This is the whole process. The adults should speak more confidently."

This is indeed reasonable. To do business, you need to pay attention to the balance between money and goods. Brothers need to settle accounts with each other. It is really best to make it clear. The old Shangshu was also very excited for a while, and now he is so comforted by a few words , regained his senses, and naturally knew that he was too excited to enter the palace. It might be easy for the emperor to think that he was not old enough, and his hair was gray when he was about to die. If he thought he was not old enough, he still had the face to stay in the household department Well, so I just hummed a few times, pretended to be short of breath, and simply sat down on the side.

The servant is also a person with eyesight, otherwise he would not have climbed to this position. Seeing the posture of the old Shangshu, he knew that he had agreed with his words, so he hurriedly ordered the people to speed up the counting.

The Jia family was fully prepared to come here. There is nothing wrong with this money, and the people in the household department can't do anything else. This little money is really good at it, but it's just three times and five divisions. After a while, the money will be counted clearly.

"My lord, it's clear. The Rongguo Mansion is 70 taels, and the Ningguo Mansion is 50 taels. There is no difference in a penny. It happened to be in the right account, and all the debts were paid off."

When the little official in charge of counting said this, his tone was several times higher, and it was a little bit sharp. Could it be sharp? At this moment, he was trembling with shock in his heart. These honorables are really there when they are about to die. Money, so much silver, you actually said to pay it back?They are all honorable families, and it is impossible not to keep the silver in the family, and it is impossible to repay the silver to survive, so that is to say, these aristocratic families, at the very least, have millions of silver in their homes. Otherwise, it is impossible to take out such a large sum at once. If land property is added, how rich are these people's family backgrounds?

This kind of thinking is just a matter of thinking, because whether it is Jia Mu or Jia Daihua, they have long expected what kind of impression they will give people if they return with such a big fanfare, so as soon as he finished his report here, Jia Amnesty began there. According to Jia Mu's instructions, he began to speak.

"My father and mother have saved enough money for 15 years, plus the silver in the old treasury at home. Every time I save it, I will count it. Naturally, I can't go wrong. For this, every time I go up In a few years, there were still some servants at home to reduce expenses, and even a while ago, there were many servants at home."

"Among the money, there is also the old money that my grandfather got during the war. Naturally, it will not be insignificant. If my father really wanted to settle the account while he was alive, so as not to leave a burden for the younger generation, he would not even The family property left by my grandfather was also brought out."

Jia Jing who was next to him also said a few words, and looked at the silver box several times with his eyes. After the two of them said this, the little officials who were still secretly estimating the Jia family's property looked at each other. It became dark, feeling a little ashamed, and a little embarrassed for my original thoughts. They had saved for more than ten years, and they took it all at once because they wanted to pay off their debts, but I only thought about their family background Thick, I didn't see other aspects of them. They were a dead father in the family, and the other father was dying. It's really not something to gloat about. They are so excited, it's really a bit unkind.

Only the high-ranking officials like the servants are more sober. They don't care whether what these two people said is true or not, as long as they pay attention, even if their family still has mountains of gold and silver, it's not for them to think about it. Yes, of course the same, if they go bankrupt, it has nothing to do with them, but since they said so, then when the old Shangshu went to the palace, he would have to mention a few words. It is right to say a few good words and return one or two in return.

On this side, the old Shangshu was finally able to enter the palace happily after the inventory was completed. On the other hand, because the location of the inventory was in the main hall of the household department, the news of the Jia family's repayment of money also began to spread. The nobles in the capital who heard the news were all a little dumbfounded. What kind of rhythm is this?How could the Jia family talk to themselves and become loyal ministers without discussing with them?Where does that put the rest of them?It is really not worthy of being a son of man.

But after hearing what Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing said in the hall, those people fell silent. Some of them are just like Jia Daihua and they are old men. As they get older, they think more and are more capable. Considering Jia Daihua's thoughts, he thought about it carefully, and finally couldn't help but sighed and said:

"It's all for the sake of our children and grandchildren. The two brothers of the Jia family have worked hard. In this way, when the kid Jia Amnesty takes over the title, if the title can be higher, then Jia Zheng can also get a good job." The job, even Jia Jing, can stand firm in the court, the money is really worth paying back."

There were also people who felt that they had been kept in the dark, and said indignantly:

"That's great. We've all become the background and props to support their loyalty. They really have no loyalty. It's good to say it first. I will also pay back [-] to [-]. At least I can make a good living." In the name of the name, it is cheap."

There are also people who despise the Jia family's behavior of flattering the emperor, saying:

"As far as they have silver, they added more than 100 million taels in one place, and they took it out as soon as they said it was taken out. That's right, who made them the family of generals. They robbed them a lot in wars back then. Can we compare with their family? Our family How much money can we have? This is good, let them get it, and put us on the head of the bar. We can't get up and down, so what should we do in the future?"

Only the emperor is happy. Ever since he heard what the old Shangshu said, he has become more energetic. He couldn't help but sigh Jia Daishan again.

"It's still Daishan. I have lived up to my trust in him back then. Look, even if he is gone, remember this. Jia Daihua is also a good one. The Jia family is loyal! How many old people are there in this world today? The nobles, you have all forgotten the difficulties when the country was founded. Everyone only remembers their own well-being, but they don’t think much about the country. They owe so much money. I really don’t know? I just don’t want to embarrass these veterans. I just thought that if they were sensible, I should know what to do. I never thought that after so many years, the two brothers of the Jia family still know the word "duty."

This is serious. This is really looking at Jia Daihua and his two brothers as officials' moral benchmarks. The only one who can say no and question is Lao Shangshu who was present, but Lao Shangshu can say no Does it sound good?impossible!He worries about the lack of money in the treasury every day. Now someone has solved his problem, and he is happy. How could he contradict the emperor?It's too late to say good things along the way.

So naturally he learned the words of Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing again, the two dukes' mansions of Jia's family were really thrifty for more than ten years, and they lived a simple life so that they could pay back the same in time.The emperor felt that he was a bit guilty of accepting the money, after all, he also knew that most of the money was spent by him and his father.My heart attached more and more importance to the Jia family.

Of course, Lao Shangshu is not that kind of stick. He won a stick and offended a bunch of people. He made it difficult for the Jia family. Firstly, he said good things for the Jia family, and secondly, he paid back the money for other borrowers. It's hard, it's nailing the tone. In this way, those who haven't paid back the money can also have reasons to say that it's because the family's expenses are too high, and they don't know how to manage it, so they delay it again and again, it's not them Not being loyal to the emperor is not because you don't want to pay it back.Or if you can't pay them all at once, it can be regarded as rounding off the situation for others, so that everyone won't be too ugly.

Old Shangshu is an old fox in the officialdom. He just used a few words to get everyone's gratitude. Don't think that no one outside will know what he said in the inner court of the palace. It is said in the place that among these people, there will naturally be people who sell the news to the outside. As long as these people tell the outside and pass it on, they will earn a lot of favors.It also calmed other people's grievances against the Ministry of Households, so that his officials can be safe and comfortable.The most important thing is that a little message was also sent to the outside world, that is, please return some more, so that he can talk to the emperor.As long as they understand what they mean, and everyone supports the situation, then the person who owes money can get through this misfortune, and the money in his household can be increased. This is everyone's happiness.

If you want to say that the emperor has no idea of ​​the Jia family's motives for repaying the money, that's impossible. He has been in control of the court for so many years, how could he not know anything about the thoughts of these officials, but after all, he was a leader once. Bird, after all, he really paid off the debt with his whole family. Just for this, it is worth giving back a little bit.It is not easy to set a model!He is also a typical example of being willing to be a target for the emperor. He understands that they are using money in exchange for the future of the child and the safety of the whole family. He must also set up this target.So that others can understand that as long as you are honest, obedient, and know how to solve difficulties for the treasury and know how to pay back the money, the emperor still loves you and will benefit you.

Speaking of the emperor, he was also aggrieved, obviously he was the creditor, but for the sake of face, he couldn't be the debt collector Huang Shiren.But you said if you don't borrow it?How can it be!Speaking of which, more than half of the people who borrowed money really had difficulties, such as those petty officials who just came to the capital, new scholars from humble backgrounds, etc. If they want to gain a foothold in the capital, how can they buy a house without borrowing money? How about the first few years?If a new scholar or something starved to death in the capital and lived in a ruined temple, that would hurt the dignity of the court.

Therefore, it is impossible not to continue this matter of borrowing money. This is also one of the benevolent policies that have lasted for several dynasties. It is a kind of official welfare. It is impossible for him to cancel it. The collection of bills can be done in a timely manner, or rely on the character of these officials.

But the account department is good at counting money, but it’s not good at collecting bills, or it’s not that it’s not good, but it’s because I don’t want to offend people, and I can’t trust people’s character. After all, everyone wants money in their own hands, so the longer the time, The more money owed, gradually some of them became bad debts.

Now that the Jia family is taking the lead, the emperor has also realized that this is definitely a good time to collect the debts, even if they can't recover all of them, at least they can reduce the bad debts.Therefore, he immediately began to reward Lao Shangshu's words very much.

"The Rong Mansion is keeping their filial piety. Originally, they wanted to wait for them to be filial piety before giving them a will. Now it seems that it is a bit unkind to not reward them. Let's give them together. Come, come, pen and ink."

A eunuch holding a pen came in immediately after hearing the sound, prepared the desk, and listened to the emperor's dictation.

"Jia Daishan is the Duke of the state, and he was inherited by the original noble. After all, Jia's amnesty has no merit in the court. It is no longer appropriate to inherit the original noble. Level, inheriting a marquis, allowing the plaque of the Duke’s mansion in the Rongguo Mansion to not be removed while the Duke’s wife is alive. That Jia Zheng, I think, seems to be a nerd? Then go to the Ministry of Rites and give me a five-year-old. Grade, Jia Jing is also a good one, the first Jinshi of the Jia family, go to the Hanlin Academy, be promoted to a rank, give a sixth rank, no, forget it, give a fifth rank, and allow Jia Jing to be demoted to a rank in the future. This can be regarded as a heavy reward. Let the imperial doctor go to see Jia Daihua again. There are not many old ministers like this now, so try your best to cure them."

After saying this, the emperor suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said to the old Shangshu:

"So gracious, old Shangshu, I'm afraid your place will become lively in a few days."

The old Shangshu also laughed when he heard the emperor's joking, but no, just for such a demotion, it is estimated that a lot of people will follow and start exchanging money.According to the rules, except for those hereditary titles, other noble titles are downgraded to the third class. Ordinary people, if they have no meritorious deeds, they will climb up again, and after three generations, they will basically start to disappear. .Now that there is such a way to stop the decline, why don't they rush to grab the quota?Everyone knows that the earlier it is, the more likely it is to catch up with this wave of good things, the later it is, the more hopeless it is, even if they all know that this is not necessarily the case, or it may be lowered by two levels at most Xijue, even just a verbal compliment, they will take a gamble.In this way, the Ministry of Households is full and the national treasury is full.Everyone wants to do things that benefit without cost, and the emperor wants to do it even more. It's just that the words can't be so clear, so the old Shangshu just smiled and said:

"The ministers of the DPRK and China are the pillars of the country, so they naturally know how to think about the country. Now that there is such a model, they naturally understand what to do to be loyal to the country."

After saying this, the emperor burst out laughing, clapping the table at hand,

"You, well, I'm afraid it's you who are the happiest. In this way, you can sleep for a few days. By the way, it's just right. Tomorrow, the frontier army's rations will be allocated first, so as not to lose money." There is not enough time, and this big frontier matter is always the top priority."

After a few words, the two talked about other things. The country's money will never be enough, even if there is more money in the treasury.

On the contrary, after Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing returned home, they were in a very bad mood. Whoever handed over the family's money would not be in a better mood. Just think about how empty the family's bank is now, and feel that There were bursts of throbbing pain, but fortunately Jia Amnesty had his old lady to comfort him.

"What's so distressing, our family doesn't have many other things, we still have a lot of fields, and even have a lot of shops. Not counting the output of your own private houses every year, there is always a profit of 5 to 2 taels. Our family is only a few people , how much you can eat and use, not to mention the time to keep filial piety, and there are so few servants, saving [-] taels of silver a year is the minimum. , as long as it is saved for a few more years, the money will naturally increase again."

Speaking of this, let alone Jia Amnesty, even Jia Zheng nodded, but no, the number of servants in the family has been reduced by one-third, and obviously the expenses have been reduced. This can be imagined without counting. Shouxiao and the others eat less food than before, and they have the motivation in their hearts. No matter what, they must refill the bank. Even if they can't save 70, it will not be so ugly when it is empty. .

Seeing her son nodding, Mother Jia started to toss about with a new method, still in the name of saving money for the mansion, her method is very simple, now keep the filial piety, each house passes each house, whether it is the first house or the second house , the family is given 5000 taels a year, you live by yourself, you calculate the expenses yourself, raise the children by yourself, food and expenses are all in this money, she let go of everything, only cares about her own yard, not enough for spending, Then use your own private house. Anyway, these children, each of them has a private house that is not a small number, and their annual income is probably more than what she gets here.And her own here is also 5000 taels, which is very fair. In this way, the entire mansion is only 5000 taels of expenses. Going through the public account, in this way, calculated, the whole year is only a little over 2 taels, which is not a little bit of frugality.As long as you follow this method, each family can worry about themselves, and she can also worry about it, and the daughter-in-law will not have any conflicts, and it will save a lot of money, which is great.

At this moment, Jiamu's authority is at its peak. Listening to her words, the son and daughter-in-law seem to be living a good life, and they just keep the house in order, so although it sounds a bit ugly, they still nodded. Especially the daughter-in-law, who can manage her own yard by herself, has a lot of rights, and can do as she pleases, so she is naturally very willing.

Just when Jia's family was about to implement the new measures, the imperial decree came, and the whole family was excited again. This was effective for Yinzi. The decree had not been announced yet, and everyone looked at Jia's mother with eyes filled with admiration.

Sure enough, a wife is a wife, and this Mrs. Duchess is extraordinary!
