Do good deeds without leaving your name

After Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang returned home, they began to clean up all kinds of things, not to mention for the time being.

Lin Daiyu, who is far away in Suzhou, is the first time to celebrate the New Year alone.Mother Jia sent some nourishing ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, mink fur, fox fur, etc. to express her concern for Daiyu.Sister Feng is careful, and what she sends is plain leather.

Daiyu also returned the gift. It was the famous three white and golden tangerines from Taihu Lake - it is easy to store in the cold weather.

It should have been an extremely bleak day, but luckily there were loyal servants accompanying him.During the filial piety period, it is not suitable to drink and have fun - Daiyu doesn't know how to drink and have fun at all. Wang Momo takes Swift, Snow Goose and the new parrot together to be Jiaoer.

Because there can be no meat, the stuffing is mixed with three delicacies: mushrooms, winter vegetables, and tofu.Wang Momo beat chicken into the stuffing, and tried every means to ensure Daiyu's nutrition was complete.

If it weren't for Lin Daiyu's weak spleen and stomach, the winter vegetables would be replaced with winter bamboo shoots, and the flavor would be better.

A vegetarian feast is served on the Dali. Baisong, radish, tofu, bean sprouts, and leeks and courgettes, etc., which Wang Mama asked her servants to distribute in the greenhouse, are made into a series of color and fragrance by the skillful hands of Chenggui's family. Complete dishes.

Daiyu said: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. Let's sit under me and have dinner together today."

As he spoke, he asked Parrot to serve him for dinner, and let Swift serve Wang Momo.

Yuyan was grateful for the kindness of Wang Momo's support and support in the past few years, and she was extremely considerate in serving her.

Nanny Wang declined one or two times, and finally sat down: I have been an enslaved group for so many years, and I can finally enjoy a dinner served by being served!not easy!The maid service in ancient times was one-on-one, absolutely crushing the current five-star hotel service!

With the sound of firecrackers, the year is gone, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans.

Jiangsu belongs to the south, and the winter will not be too cold. When the spring is about to start, the strong men who go to the fields to work in the fields will be so hot that they only wear single clothes.

Before Lin Ruhai passed away, she left Daiyu a huge family business and cleaned up the shops—considering that her daughter was too young to take care of them, she bought a lot of Zhuangzi.There are more than a dozen of hot spring villages in the suburbs of Beijing and farms in the south of the Yangtze River.

At first glance, a dozen or so are not very many compared to that wealthy family, but the villages left by Lin Ruhai are all carefully selected, connected into a large area, and easy to manage.

Not to mention that the small hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing is expensive.

Suzhou's hometown is also considered a land of fish and rice, with rich products, and rice can be harvested twice a year. Daiyu guards these villages, enough to live comfortably all her life.

With the loyal chief steward outside, Chengbi and Nanny Xu inside, and Nanny Wang serving personally, there is no shortage of people around Daiyu.

However, Lin Ruhai also took into account the fickleness of people's hearts, and before he left, he helped the second steward and a group of junior stewards in the outer courtyard.

In this way, the inner house and the outer courtyard restrain each other, so that the steward Wang's family and slaves will not bully the master.

Although Lin Daiyu at this time is very different from the original book, she is no longer delicate, sensitive, aloof and fragile, but she doesn't understand the things in the field.

Fortunately, with the internal and external assistance of the housekeeper and nuns, and the guidance of Mrs. Lin, Daiyu gradually became familiar with the characteristics of the local solar terms and crops, so that she would not be deceived.

Three years passed by in a hurry, during which Daiyu's Jiji ceremony was also simple, presided over by Mrs. Lin, and some prominent families and squires in the country came to watch the ceremony. After returning home, they all praised the Lin family. Both parents died, but it seems to be very well-bred.

At that time, Jia Baoyu was struggling to test for talent and wanted to come to Suzhou, but this time none of the elders agreed.There can only be a congratulatory gift: a wooden hairpin carved by myself.

When Daiyu received the wooden hairpin, she couldn't tell what it felt like.

Incomplete joy and incomplete shyness.It's just as if a voice said in my heart: Since they are destined to be together for a lifetime, why are they so melancholy?

..............................

In the past three years, the Rongguo Mansion has undergone moderate changes.

First of all, the Xue family, who lived as a guest, moved out, because Xue Baochai passed the small election and became the female official next to the ten princesses.Then somehow, the eighth prince, the elder brother of the ten princesses and one mother, took him away and became a concubine, and soon became pregnant, and became the prince's side concubine.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan naturally felt that it was not good to stay in Jia's house, so they bought a house in the east of the capital where "the east is rich and the west is rich, and the south is poor and the north is cheap", so that Baochai can be regarded as having a formal family home to return to.

Jia Baoyu knew that it wasn't the eight virtuous kings who were of low birth and praised by the court in the end, but wanted to stop Sister Bao, but where did Jia Shitou go to get the inner courtyard of the palace?Just waiting to ask Jiamu to find a way, but Jiamu said after pondering that there was nothing she could do.

Secondly, the Rongguo Mansion paid off the money owed to the state treasury three years ago, and the money came together for a while. Then Wang Xifeng wanted to put loan sharks, and just started to do it, and was discovered by Jiamu.

Jia's mother was furious: "The thing of cutting off children and grandchildren is also what you should do? I think you should take care of your own men first, and it is right to give birth to a son as soon as possible."

So he took this opportunity to personally take over the power of the housekeeper, and asked Sanchun to assist him: "I have reached this age, and it is time to learn how to be a housewife. Even if the girl in my Jia's house is not a clan wife, she is also assigned to a daughter-in-law. The heirs of the family must learn to manage the family business."

On the other side, the servants were cut down again, a group were killed, and a group was released.

Needless to say, the money obtained from the confiscation is considerable, which is worth the prosperity of the Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years.Because Jia's mother didn't do anything wrong, and those who searched were also greedy people, and turned them away to send them to officials, without any scruples about face as usual.

Although there were some good-tongued people who said that the servants of the Rongguo Mansion also hid filth, but this news was neither romantic nor lewd, and soon disappeared in the capital—the most indispensable thing for people in the capital. It's just fun, which prince steals fragrance today and the princess beats the door of the outer chamber, and tomorrow which aunt's temple sells dog meat with sheep's head as a skin business...Which one is no more gimmick than Rongguo Mansion's rectification of servants?

Once again, Mother Jia is no longer extremely fond of Baoyu, and she also expressed her support for Baoyu's hard work in studying and wanting to get a good reputation. She still gave Wang a lesson when she felt sorry for Baoyu and persuaded him to rest, "a loving mother is more Baier"—as if the loving grandmother in the past wasn't her, Wang felt very suffocated, was it wrong to feel sorry for her son?

Not only Baoyu, but also Jia Zhu's widow Li Wan was instructed several times to educate Jia Lan well.

The old lady of the Rongguo Mansion has been working hard to turn the tide.

But what should come will still come.

Long live the death, pass on the throne to the fourth prince who has been in charge of the household department.

As far as the Jia family is concerned, regardless of the previous political investment betting on the prince, the first to be hit is the Wang family of the second wife - the eldest daughter Yuan Chun has only been a concubine for a few years, and she has to be a widow!As everyone knows, widowhood will survive anyway.

Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu, who heard Baoyu talk about the dream, were relieved: As long as there is life, Concubine De is not a low rank among the former emperor's concubines, and life will not be difficult.

The fourth prince who succeeds to the throne is the famous Iron Face King, who was known as the prince who confiscated his family in his early years.In the first year of succession, the yuan was not changed, and in the second year - exactly the third year of Daiyu's filial piety, the new emperor found You Hair as a strong contender for the former throne - the eighth prince back then, and now Prince Lian (Note 1).

First, he stopped Prince Lian's errands on the grounds of "lack of family management".

The so-called lack of strict family management, the problem lies in Prince Lian's concubine, Xue Shi.

The Xue family has an older brother named Xue Pan, who is proficient in eating, drinking, and playing. He roamed the countryside in Jinling in his early years. He shrank his head for a while when he first entered the capital. After his younger sister became the prince's side concubine, he returned to his old ways and acted arrogantly. stand up.

A few years ago, because everyone was unclear, everyone gritted their teeth and endured the arrogance of the dumb king.When the throne returned to Jinshang, and Jinshang also showed the intention of settling accounts after autumn, someone cleverly handed over this ready-made handle to Yushitai.

Yushitai was the most talkative, and found out the old case in Jinling, where Xue Pan fought for a concubine and beat someone to death.

Grasping this point, Prince Lian was sprayed bloody.

That's not to mention, the censors continued to dig out the Xue family's wealth in the name of the emperor's business, so that Prince Lian could support his private soldiers-this crime is against the sky!

Raising private soldiers has ulterior motives.

A strict investigation is ordered today.

Jia Yucun, the chief judge in the case of "Xue Pan beat someone to death and got away with it", was immediately dismissed as an official. No matter how big or small, shut your doors and introspect.However, Lin Ruhai, Jia Yucun's recommender at the time, had passed away for many years, and had always had a good reputation and was kind to others, but no one targeted him—after all, a crime of not knowing someone clearly is not a big deal. ?It's better to follow the Holy Majesty's wishes and keep an eye on Prince Lian's mansion.

It has to be said that even Yushitai, who has always been known for his uprightness, still depends on others.

There are the descendants of the old censor Xu who has been an official for many years in the education mansion: "Where are there so many Bao Zheng and Hai Rui in this world? The censor is also a subject of Long Live, and he must be able to look at him. Anyone who sees me reads a copy, and I don’t live long. Look at my grandfather, I have been an official for more than [-] years, with ups and downs, but have we ever had a big event? Let’s learn more!"

Since then, the Xu family has produced three generations of censors, who can be called a tumbler in the court, and can also be called a strange story, which is a later story.

Thoroughly investigate the case of Prince Lian raising private soldiers, pull out the carrots and bring out the mud.

The former second prince bought and sold official positions and poisoned officials in the Jiangnan officialdom. After being imprisoned by the former emperor, it was the eighth prince at that time. The current Prince Lian took over his power in Jiangnan.

It's just that Prince Lian turned the light into the dark, and gave up the income of buying and selling official positions on the bright side, but controlled several copper mines, iron mines and saltworks!

This blew up the nest!

Copper mines are for minting coins, iron mines are for casting weapons, and salt is the lifeblood of the people!

Prince Lian's heart can be punished.
