50 taels of silver is enough for people outside to eat for a long time, and even if they get married in the future, they can also make a generous dowry.At the moment, Qingwen is full of admiration.

Daiyu immediately said: "The inner court Luanyu entered his private residence, and every family in the capital must show off their wealth."

Zijuan is a maid from the capital, so she naturally knows the habits of the capital, so she immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Those wealthy families always love to compete for wealth. Now that they have such a good name as a relative, naturally they will not let it go easily."

Daiyu sighed: "I used to think that those people were vulgar, but now that they are in charge of housekeeping, I have seen a lot of these vulgar things in our country village, so I understand the saying 'Prosperity, the people suffer! Death, the people suffer!' Sincerely I cheat too."

Qingwen agreed very much. Sister Lin was originally intelligent, but now she has a good family background. She puts all her thoughts on self-cultivation and her family.

But Mr. Bai asked something else: "I heard that the wood and stone that Qingwen hoarded a few days ago have been ordered?"

Qingwen smiled: "That's right, I have already sent people to the capital to deliver goods, and those people don't just use wood and stones to make gardens, and when they build up their relationship, when they finish building the garden, the decorations will not be without cloth." Curtains and curtains, our Yi Jiangnan can make a fortune from it."

Mr. Bai laughed in astonishment: "You girl, is it true that the Mo family is alive? You are proficient in everything."

Daiyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's not known whether Mr. Mo Zi praised her, but he is an 'abacus'. Yesterday Qingwen wanted to drink a glass of water, and Xueyuan put her hands on her shoulders to hold her down." Going back to the seat, Xuehe brought tea, Xuefeng brought it to her mouth respectfully, saying, "God of Wealth, please drink water." Everyone was very pious, as if Qingwen was their serious master."

She really is such a sweet-talking Sister Lin, she talked all the way, and there was really no place to interrupt, Qingwen just smiled: "Sir, don't listen to the girl's arrangement, it's just that the maids in our yard have made a small fortune, yes It seems that for the sake of money, you have been very kind to me these few days."

Daiyu also covered her mouth and smiled: "A few days ago, my father always complained that he wanted to eat saury, but he always said that it was not in season. Now he can finally add food to his old man."

Mr. Bai was stunned: "Why?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "It's not that girl who is making trouble! We have used all the cash in the account, and even the daily expenses are a bit stretched. Although the saury that Dad wants is elegant, it costs a lot. I will review the accounts. Sometimes it’s not enough to spend, so I simply ask the kitchen to say that it’s not in season.”

Qingwen blinked: "Now we have made a fortune, and the master can finally eat Yangtze saury."

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Poor cook, I don't know what kind of lies to pass the test?"

Daiyu said again: "This family visit is obviously sympathetic to the concubines, so that the concubines can enjoy family happiness, but it's really hard to say what it is."

Mr. Bai liked his student's intelligence very much, so he called her immediately: "The capital likes to compare, I'm afraid the emperor can find out which one is rich by doing this, and follow the clues, maybe there will be some gains."

Daiyu understood that the emperor was really the best in the world, and he thought of this trick.

Mr. Lin was very puzzled recently, why, when the Yangtze River saury was in season, his chef came to report that it was out of season, and after half a month, he said that he could buy it in large quantities. For several days in a row, the dishes on the kitchen were all saury?

But it was said that Jia's mansion was also planning to build a Grand View Garden, so naturally Wang Xifeng didn't care about anything and just pretended not to know.

So the Jia family sent relatives from the Jia family to discuss the matter.When it comes to the money at the most critical moment, the two houses are in a dilemma, Ningguo House thinks this is your wife, why should we pay the money? !

The Rongguo Mansion felt that they could not write two Jia characters in one stroke, not to mention that the Ningguo Mansion went out to travel, how could it be impossible to take advantage of their own mother's power?

In the end, Jia Jing came back from the Taoist temple outside the city, and decided to pay 1 taels of silver from the account to send it over, and then looked for some old curtain decorations at home from the warehouse.

Only 1 taels of silver, enough to do?Mrs. Wang in the Rongguo Mansion seemed to be in a hurry, and began to think about it again, wondering how many times she would scold Sister Feng.

Originally, Wang Xifeng was responsible for all these financial matters, but who would have thought that she would be lazy now and throw these housework far away.

In the beginning, he just stayed behind closed doors in his own yard, but later he used the excuse of being ill. In order to prevent his illness from passing on to others, he went to stay in a village in the countryside. Jia Lian also moved there in a few days, saying that the village The wild is quiet, suitable for quiet reading.

In this way, the two couples quietly left Jia's house, and those who didn't know thought that there had never been such two people.

The noble concubine circle in the capital often criticized Mrs. Wang. At the beginning, Mrs. Wang sought out Wang Xifeng as a housekeeper, and Mrs. Wang was the one who was in charge of the power behind her. At least outsiders didn't know about it. They only thought that she was helping her niece accidentally.

Who knows that now that Wang Xifeng doesn't care about it, the power of the Jia family has completely fallen into the hands of Mrs. Wang, and rumors from outsiders have arisen, such as "the second wife of the Jia family occupied the Rongxi Hall, but forced the elder brother to the small courtyard next to the stable", and "the concubine's son" Even the grandchildren can't be in power", what about "planning the family property for my own treasure with all my heart", there are all kinds of ugly words.

The ethos of the capital is like this, the furniture of the wealthy and noble families can be circulated in less than a day.

Of course, the help of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng is indispensable for this. Although the two of them have changed their minds and refrained from corrupting the law, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, nor are they magnanimous people.

Mrs. Wang couldn't tell her suffering, she just kept comforting herself in her heart, my daughter is now the princess!

For the sake of the princess's face, it is natural to build a luxurious family-visiting villa. I heard that the noble concubine Zhou's house in the capital is rich and luxurious, so how can my own family lose?

However, the amount of money in the account of the Jia family is also fixed. Mrs. Wang tried her best, and her hair turned gray, but in the end she was still reluctant to use her private property.

On the contrary, she turned to Jia Mu for help. First, she cried miserably, saying that her housekeeper was powerless, and then she said that she filled in the dowry, but it was still not enough for the family.

Mother Jia sighed softly, now she misses the days when Wang Xifeng was the head of the family, the child took care of everything properly, if there was anything wrong with it, she just quietly took her head jewelry to the pawn shop, no matter what They are all thinking about not letting the ancestors know that they are worried.

In the past, I only brought a few young girls to eat, drink and have fun in the mansion, enjoying the family happiness, so why would I want to get involved in these crap things?

However, Mrs. Wang now has a daughter who is an imperial concubine to support her. She can't say no to scolding, so she can only moderately say: "I still have some in my private treasury, let Yuanyang take care of it."

Mrs. Wang was secretly satisfied, old man, you have done your best.But he said: "The daughter-in-law is not filial, and such things are used to bother the ancestors. It is really that the daughter-in-law is not good at managing the family. Now that I am getting old, why don't I call my daughter-in-law back to the house? Anyway, this house will sooner or later Their."

Jia's mother opened her eyes of rejuvenation, and she was radiant: "Lian's daughter-in-law is not in good health now, so let her take care of her."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's disappointed expression, she was a little surprised.In fact, Wang Xifeng was already three months pregnant, and because she was three months old, she was considered conceived, so she sent someone to report to the city.

Mother Jia was very happy when she received the news. This is her great-grandson. Although there was Jia Lan in front of her, Jia Lan was cautious by nature and only got close to Li Wan. Not that close.

But the person Jia Lian sent to deliver the letter solemnly interceded with Jia's mother, begging the ancestors not to tell Mrs. Wang about this matter.He also said that they originally wanted to wait until the childbirth was over, but they thought that the happy event of adding a baby should be told to the ancestors anyway, so that the ancestors would be happy, so they only told Jiamu.

When Mother Jia received the news, she didn't believe it at first. Although the second child's family was a little foolish, how could they dare to murder the child's life?

But if you think about it carefully, the eldest daughter-in-law Lian'er was very smart, and after the eldest daughter-in-law passed away, Zhu'er would ride away and leave Lian'er far behind. Isn't that strange?

Then I thought of Wang Xifeng's constant discord with Jia Lian and his wife after entering the door, and three of the four dowry maids in the room had troubles that were not clear to Jia Lian.

At that time, Mother Jia also lamented that the methods of the Wang family's servants were not good. How could the dowry maids cultivated not only do not help their own ladies, but also rob people from their own ladies?

At first, I just thought it was the Wang family's lack of strict governance, but now that I think about it, could it be that the Wang family and Mrs. Wang joined hands to suppress the grandson of the Jia family, so that the management power will fall into the hands of Mrs. Wang?

Thinking of this, Mother Jia felt disgusted. Although she never cared about the disputes of the younger generation, she always cared about Mrs. Wang's face. After all, she is also a grandmother now, and she has no face for nothing. good.

But when it comes to the future of Jia's family, Jia's mother dare not be vague at all, and now she has some vigilance in her heart.At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "Old ancestor, why don't you write a letter to the uncle in Yangzhou? Since the dowry of our aunt is in his hands, there is no reason why our family should not inform him of such a big matter."

Mother Jia felt even more disgusted. This shallow-sighted person even missed the dowry of her married aunt.

Bannermen ruled this dynasty, so they naturally followed the folk customs of the Bannermen. The aunts of the Bannermen had a high status in the family. They could sit down for dinner when they were at home, and they were also respected after they got married.

Immediately, Li said in a long voice: "Although the Jia family is Han Chinese, they treat their aunts as cleanly as banner people. There is no rule of begging for dowry from married aunts."

This is a bit serious, Mrs. Wang curled her lips in her heart: Huh, who let your damn daughter go, but the dowry was not returned.
