What should I do when I meet my sister-in-law in Red Mansions?

Mother Jia's face was very kind, and she was always so kind to Xichun, the daughter of the Eastern Mansion, but Xichun was stunned to notice a little difference.

Thinking of the so-called elder brother who just left, the young Xichun had some understanding.Naturally, Mother Jia knew about the conversation between Jia Zhen and Xichun, and she was satisfied that Xichun and Jia Zhen were not close.

At any rate, it has been raised for four or five years. If there is no affection at all, it will make people feel depressed.

The emotional investment seems worthwhile now.

After Xichun bid farewell to her ancestors lightly, she took Ruhua back with her.The three sisters now live behind Wang's yard. Before Daiyu came, they lived in the yard of their ancestors.

Therefore, apart from welcoming the spring benevolently, both Tanchun and Xichun have mixed feelings about Daiyu.Especially Xichun, he is not from this mansion, why should he let the girl from the Lin family come?

Therefore, Xichun is not very close to Daiyu, and she is closer to Yingchun. In short, she is the youngest and has a little temper, and the older ones are very tolerant even with Daiyu.But the more others accommodated, the more unhappy Xichun felt, as if he had punched the cotton with a punch, very boring.

Unexpectedly, when the big brother from Dongfu came to see him once, he only gave him two bags of scattered silver. Although there were as much as 200 taels, everyone saw him in a different way.

Whether it's Tanchun's envy or the servant's flattery, it makes her feel tired, what's the big deal?

Hmph, I won't be bought off by these small favors.

Before going to bed, Xichun thought rather arrogantly.

Another three or five days passed, and Jia Zhen finally waited for Jia Jing's summons. He was somewhat impatient and timid.In short, this is a major matter of the survival of Guandong Mansion, and a matter of his own life, he really can't calm down.

In the past, the journey of three or two hours, I don't know why, but today it is extraordinarily long.

"Master, how is it?"

Jia Zhen's fiery look really made Jia Jing unable to look at him, and he glanced at his son coolly, making him calm down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his excitement.

Although Jia Jing himself lived in a Taoist temple, he often recited the Tao Te Ching and practiced alchemy.But his life is really not like a monk at all, his food is sent by the mansion at the beginning of each month.

Look at this tea, it's the best tribute tea, it costs two taels of silver.Jia Zhen drank tea herself, but it was not elegant at all, Hu Si was thinking about it.

Looking at his son's mind-wandering situation, Jia Jing shook his head, he really didn't bother to stretch him anymore.Slowly putting down the teacup in her hand, Jia Zhen held the teacup in her own hand, her eyes were shining brightly, she didn't move and stared at Jia Jing, her eyes were very hot.

"Don't worry, on the 25th of next month, Yuan Chun will be released when she reaches her age. Because she is not young, the empress has specially ordered her to marry early."

"Father, an old girl, if someone wants to fill in the house as a successor, how can Xifu agree?"

"If you don't want to get married, then go and be a foster mother. It happens that the maids in the mansion lack a palace mother to teach, and it's safer for your own people to use it."

Jia Jing didn't have any pity, although she was his niece, but he didn't have much affection.

"Father, the eldest sister is only 25, and she is not very old..."

Jia Zhen herself was a little reluctant, and murmured.

"It's already 25, the old lady is alone, isn't she too old?"

Jia Jing glanced at his son angrily, and snorted coldly.

"Why are you pretending to be merciful when cats cry and rats? Besides, there are still a few days left. The more you get to the last moment, the more you have to hold your breath. Otherwise, if you fall short, you will not only offend Yuanchun, but also the ancestors of the Xifu, the second bedroom. But all of them offended everyone. Even if you pardon the uncle, you don't necessarily dislike having a concubine in your family. Even if he doesn't want the second house to suppress him."

Regarding Jia Jing's teaching, although Jia Zhen herself disapproved very much, she nodded rigorously.In this world, the emphasis is on "strict fathers and loving mothers", and my own father is not a good-tempered person. If there is a disagreement, I am afraid that I will have a meal.

"Remember to hold your breath, that's enough, go back, don't come here to interfere with my cleaning if you have nothing to do."

After finishing the business, Jia Jing looked impatiently at his son's flattering face, and dismissed him in a few words.

Jia Zhen was also a little uncomfortable in the right place, and soon she took her back with her.Can't wait to come.When she came back this time, she was very satisfied. Jia Zhen rode slowly on the tall horse, looking like a promising young man.

Of course, if he was younger, he would be more like a dude.

After Jia Zhen went back, she felt that the excitement all over her body had passed, and now, all that was left was endless fatigue.

I sent someone to prepare hot water, and after taking a good bath, I felt better.He also sent someone to send the gadgets he bought outside the city to the West Mansion, specifying that they were for Xichun.

When Xichun received those things, it was when all the sisters were sewing together and playing around, seeing everyone's curiosity or envy, she herself seemed a little weird in a flat way.

But soon, everyone’s eyes were drawn away by the unpacked package of the painting, the small wicker basket, the small plate, the pottery pen holder, the incense burner, and even a cricket box, all kinds of stone carving objects, it’s really amazing. These little girls who have never seen the outside world are very novel, and they can't put it down.

But it was given to the fourth sister by Big Brother Zhen from Dongfu, and Xichun has such a temperament, no one really wants to take it back by himself.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Xichun could almost read their thoughts, it was Baoyu who couldn't let go of the grasshopper's box.

"Second brother, if you like it, you can play with it. It's a man's thing after all, and it doesn't make sense for us to play with grasshoppers."

Xichun joked that Baoyu was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he couldn't bear to let go of the thing. After thanking Xichun kindly, he held it in his hand and continued to look at the carved patterns on it.

"Sisters, you can choose by yourself. If you like something, you can take it yourself. It's not interesting for me to hold it by myself."

After hearing this, everyone saw that she was sincere, so they stopped talking, and each chose two pieces, leaving five or six pieces for the lord Xichun, and they were satisfied.

After everyone dispersed, those things were randomly scattered on the table. Although Xichun herself thought it was fun, she couldn't save herself, so she had to let those things go where they were.

The maids looked at Xichun's complexion not very well, and they didn't dare to come in and talk. Even Ruhua, who always had a good face in front of the girl, was said so ugly by the girl, let alone other people?

After Xichun said she was in the painting, she felt regretful and annoyed in her heart, but she is the master, so is it possible that she still has to accompany the girl?

Xichun couldn't bear this face, and felt very depressed in her heart.Soon, she blamed the real master who brought these things, otherwise, he acted carelessly, hmph, her life wouldn't be in such a mess.

Jia Zhen still doesn't know that the pile of things she sent not only didn't please the younger sister, but also made people complain. He is hiding in the study at the moment and is enjoying it.

There is less than one month left, as long as Yuan Chun comes out of the forbidden palace, he will eliminate the biggest disaster of the Jia clan.

Just thinking about it gives him a sense of accomplishment.

However, the future of the Jia family is still very bleak. The most important reason is naturally that none of the children in the family are promising, and none of them think about making progress.

Regardless of whether it is the East and West Mansions or the dependent clansmen, all of them are thinking about eating, drinking and having fun. No one can see the current dead end, and no one has the slightest plan.

Thinking of this, most of Jia Zhen's blood was gone, he really has a long way to go.

Slowly laying out the brochures for the future and distribution of Jinling's sacrificial fields, Jia Zhen checked them carefully again.

Sooner or later, you have to master these things. Although you don't need to be too proficient, you must be able to understand the ledger.

Looking at the account books, Jia Zhen only felt that her head was in a panic.

"Long victory, long victory!"

He yelled a few times indiscriminately, and someone outside responded immediately,

"My lord, what are you calling your slaves to come over?"

"Go, go outside the mansion and find ten or eight accountants for my master. I want to use them."

"Master, there are three or five accountants in our house, why do you want to find outsiders?"

This Changsheng was recently promoted by Jia Zhen. He is very clever and methodical in doing things, which earns Jia Zhen's trust.Therefore, he was not afraid of his master, and asked with a smile.

"Get out, I'm going to see the accountant in the afternoon, whether you look for it from the mansion or outside, you have to be reliable and capable, hurry up, you can withdraw the money from the account yourself, if you dare to spend it recklessly Lord's silver, you must be careful with your leather!"

After Jia Zhen cursed a few words, she felt much more relieved. Chang Sheng nodded and bowed in response, and then bowed and retreated.

I don't know where he went to toss, but the speed is not slow. After Jia Zhen took a nap, she saw the fifteen accountants that Changsheng had found, and some of them looked quite familiar.

Needless to say, these were naturally those from her own house. Now that everyone was here, Jia Zhen naturally had no other thoughts.

Soon, these people were gathered in the hall, and several long tables were filled with account books over the years.

Everyone looked at each other, it seems that this master has made a big move.Faintly, a few people felt a little regretful, but unfortunately, they couldn't even quit now.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and go, everyone listened to Jia Zhen's order and thought in their hearts.With the help of professionals, Jia Zhen's life is much easier.

But time passed so slowly, he wished it was the 25th of next month.
