Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

Just when Zhen Hui began to devote his attention to the whole court movement, thinking about how to gain benefits for himself and let his father go further, Master Zhen himself felt that he had no idea about the succession of the throne. He was so nervous, and even felt like he didn't care about anything.Perhaps it also has something to do with the fact that he is currently working in the Imperial College. After staying in such an academic atmosphere for a long time, people's political IQ can easily be lowered, so he still has the time to care about the affairs of this house.

"Son, what are you going to do with the house? If you start construction, I'm afraid that you will encounter such a big event in a short time. You can't really stop after half the time, right? If you don't start construction, it won't work." , I don’t know how long this will be delayed for a while, and I can’t just wait like this.”

Master Zhen can definitely be ranked among the top few most irresponsible fathers in this capital city. At this time, he still only asks questions and does not give a solution. Such a big matter is all about letting his son, Such a 12-year-old child is really rough-hearted. I don't know how he can be admitted to Jinshi with such a mind. Even Zhen Hui himself feels a little speechless. Fortunately, he has been this man's son for so many years. The squeezer has gotten used to it, so he gave his own plan very neatly.

"What else can I do? Naturally, I can do whatever I need to do. Let people get the mess done first. Just this alone will probably take a day or two to clean up, and then I will buy all the necessary things first. , especially those paints, are all transported to this house, and when the world is not yet clear, start the first thing that needs to be ground-breaking, and wait for the order from the superior, and immediately switch to another thing. , It’s just to keep the ground from being broken, paint or something can always be done, and within three months, the smell of paint can just disappear.”

It is said that the ground cannot be broken, but in fact, if it is really said, it is more gestures. After all, if the ground cannot be broken, what about those fields?At the time when spring planting and autumn harvest happened, could it be possible that an emperor died and people could not be allowed to plant the land?These days, the imperial court is based on farming. Wouldn't it be a self-inflicted rebellion against the government to prevent farming?No, officials are the biggest landlords, so that means that even the officials will be rebellious, so the so-called can't break ground, more importantly, can't do some big projects. It is definitely impossible to build a house or something. But if you just close the door at home, and then do some quiet rest inside, generally as long as no one is impeached, then there must be no one to care about. Who doesn't do little tricks? Think about Jia Zhen's filial piety. When I was a filial piety, I drank and played around. When no one was impeaching, no one cared about it. I knew what kind of strict law this so-called strict order is. To put it bluntly, only state officials are allowed to set fires and people are not allowed to light lamps. those things.

Although Zhen Hui has always been very careful, although the official positions of the Zhen family are really small and they don't have much confidence, but when this happens, as long as they don't act too much, generally speaking, they can't shut down the whole work, at most it is the construction period Extension, or let’s say two or 30 people, the work that can be cleaned up in one month is divided into five or six months, and three or five people do this at a time.

No matter how much he obeyed the rules, his house was leaking or something, repairing the roof would not be allowed, Zhen Hui wanted to take advantage of such a loophole.Besides, the most important thing is not to have any happy events for a year, the prohibition that cannot be violated, and other things, generally speaking, after the first three months, it is basically relaxed, it is true When breaking ground or something, other officials will turn a blind eye.

"In this way, can those craftsmen agree? It was originally agreed."

Master Zhen made some calculations, and he also felt that this method would work, but in this way, he would definitely lose his trust. As a scholar, this is actually the key issue.

"When something like this happened all of a sudden, I don't know how many craftsmen can't work to earn money and support their families. It's good, our family didn't stop working anyway, and they can take turns to eat and eat."

To be able to say this sentence, Master Zhen is really a caring person.Zhen Hui himself remembered that he once saw a sketch, or cross talk, which was about cross talk actors. The famous opera masters changed their careers to sell vegetables after encountering the national funeral and lost their livelihood. Although all of them were laughing No way, but careful people here can see that it is definitely a sign of joy in bitterness.

It's just that even though Zhen Hui himself is a member of this privileged class, he can't open his mouth about such a phenomenon. The family's life is gone, and it is impossible to change this rule that has been passed down for an unknown number of years.

"It's not just for eating and drinking. There are many things to do in the house. Except for some jobs that can't be heard from outside, clean up the house, sweep, weed in the garden, and rest the ground. Which one does not require people? I want to Well, when the time comes, these jobs will still be done by people, so I simply hired these craftsmen to do it, no matter it is once a month or twice a month, anyway, before we move in this house, we will pay them all. Just give them two taels of silver a month, this is not a lot of money, let’s save trouble, they can also earn more, at least they won’t be hungry.”

This is also the greatest help he can give. No matter how much, to be honest, he still doesn't have that kind of great compassion for others. Don't have too much sympathy, otherwise it is easy to commit the crime of buying people's hearts.Another one, he doesn't have that much money to spill out.It is only sensible to see one helping the other within the scope of one's own tolerance.

Master Zhen nodded after hearing this.

"That's a good idea. Now it's almost the Chinese New Year. It's winter and it's not convenient to do work. It's not bad in the spring. I heard that you guys have made blueprints? Show me later. Yes. Yes, take your brother over there to have a look, he said, you have to decide on your own yard, and there is also the third entrance through the main entrance, your mother means to make your sister a boudoir, she is also a big girl Yes, it’s not bad to have your own yard, you can tidy her up better. And your mother said..."

Master Zhen knew that his son had already made up his mind, so he put down all the questions immediately, and started making demands persistently. Hearing that, Zhen Hui was going to get angry, so he stopped, but this stop was nothing more than a stop at home. As for other people's requirements, he hasn't said anything yet.

"There is also this money. Since things can be done slowly, the pressure on expenses will naturally be less. You have brought all the money by the end of this year, so even if the spring begins, there must be no hope for more money. I want this house to be better. To get better, you can only rely on your own private money. Your younger brother and sister have already taken out all the private money, and the total is more than 300 taels. I don’t know how many parents you have. 500 taels, in this way, it can be more relaxed."

Zhen Hui is jumping, really going to jump, what is this?This father actually didn't even let go of the child's private money?I remember that when he was a child, well, it was a modern child, his parents coaxed away his New Year's money, and he forgot what he bought. In this era, he still has to experience it again?

Isn't Zhen Ji the most money-obsessed boy?How could he agree?How weird? "

Perhaps it was because his expression was too obvious. Seeing such a son, Master Zhen was rarely embarrassed, but he still coughed a few times, maintained his majesty, and then said calmly:

"This time, our family has changed from two ordinary three-entry houses to two four-entry houses, and we still have a big house with a long courtyard. It can be said that we have tried our best. This is for you, and it is also for the Zhen family. With such a residence, our family will not have to worry about this house for at least ten years. Whether it is you or your younger siblings, getting married is enough trouble. When you are all grown up, you will have a family, a business, and Now that I have a son and a daughter, this house will be enough to live in at that time. If I calculate this way, I’m afraid I won’t have to move for 20 years. So it’s worth working harder and paying more.”

Well, it seems that Master Zhen also used the same words to other people, otherwise he would not be able to speak so fluently, but there is nothing wrong with saying these words, and it makes people feel very real According to Zhen Hui's own thinking, the house will be the ancestral house of the Zhen family in the capital in the future, but now this house, before there is no better choice, I am afraid that the old man is thinking about sharing it with Zhen Ji in the future , and this house, after their family moves to a new house, will definitely rent it out, and then collect money to supplement the family.

In the future, after their brothers grow up, under the rule that their parents do not separate their families, the two brothers will still grow up living under one roof in the future.The younger brother's family lives in the older brother's house. Even if it is a model of fatherly kindness, filial piety, and brotherly respect, there is no guarantee that there will be no estrangement. There were some minor frictions.It is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment in the future, and they are simply tied together from the beginning, and they all contribute their strength from the beginning. In this way, with such a premise, everyone will be more tolerant of each other in the future.

In retrospect, Zhen thought that this matter should not have been thought up by his simple-minded father. He thought of the future backyard problem in such detail, and thought of the sister-in-law problem. It must be his mother's masterpiece, or it is a rainy day.Otherwise, he wouldn't even squeeze out Zhen Ji's private money. This is trying to show his fair side as a father.Everyone, all children, need to pay for this family.

At this time, Zhen Hui also began to feel that the Niu family, even if it was a side branch, but the three words of the government of the country, for the pressure on his own family, seemed to have begun to change a little unconsciously, Zhen Hui really I really want to sigh, growing up is troublesome, and it is easy to be complicated. I remember that after his sister got married, he felt that her sister had changed, she became thoughtful and careful, and she was uncomfortable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to go home and be demobilized , I just wanted to live a simpler life. Now it seems that this is life. As long as you grow up, no one can escape.

"Understood, I will take care of this matter, but you, father, have hidden so much private money, does mother know?"

Although Zhen Hui understood it in his heart, he was still a little unconvinced, and he simply stabbed such a sentence as a way to relieve himself.As soon as I said it, I felt a little regretful. These days, there is a son who dares to make fun of me like this. Sure enough, when he heard this, Master Zhen's face immediately became a little stiff. Just after he realized it, he wanted to reprimand him and maintain his prestige as a father. Here, Zhen Hui has quickly added another sentence.

"My son is really hard-working! He just has to work! Dad, why don't you take care of it yourself. Oh, why are there so many things!"

Is this the strike that threatened him?Master Zhen's eyes widened, but unfortunately he didn't even have a chance to get mad, Zhen Hui ran away sighing as he walked.

"Busy, really busy."

"Stinky boy...you come back..."

The shouts coming from the study almost frightened the servants who came to deliver the tea to death!That's my lord!A gentleman who is a civil servant!How could this voice be the master?This should be the vital capacity of a general!Are they hallucinating?The servants couldn't believe it!

As for Zhen Hui?Can Zhen Hui come back?How could it be that he didn't hear it!It's all out of the door, let me send it over by myself, he is not that stupid yet!

"What are you doing? Aren't you delivering tea? The master's throat is burning, hurry up!"
