Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Perhaps among those who faced this change directly, Jia Lian felt the deepest.Jia Lian was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion before. He was the son of Jia She. Jia She was originally the lord of the Rongguo Mansion. However, Jia Lian was used as an errand servant. Jia Lian was the man in charge in the Rongguo Mansion in name, but in reality?Those accountants and stewards were superficially polite to Jia Lian, and they said yes or no. There was no one who was not playing tricks behind their backs. Jia Lian had been in contact with these people for a long time, and the environment of Rongguo Mansion could not be changed. Jia Lian himself was not a firm-willed person. Characters, as time goes by, will inevitably have some collusion.

To put it simply, when Jia Lian was the housekeeper in the Rongguo Mansion, he did a lot of things to hang his expenses on the Rongguo Mansion's public account.

In this way, even without the nodding of Mrs. Jia Muwang, Jia Lian can live a very comfortable and luxurious life, without needing to count on the little monthly money.

As for the fact that Rongguo Mansion should belong to him in the first place, he has the responsibility to manage things like Rongguo Mansion well, and he doesn't have a real awareness in his heart at all.

Jia Lian was even used to this kind of life, so that after moving out with Jia Amnesty, he still did such things secretly, and at most he restrained himself.It's just that the habit has been formed, and it is not easy to change it, especially when he is short of money from time to time.

Jia Lian always thought that the tents in the world were just like the people he met in Jia's house, they were friendly on the surface, but they never changed their ways to make money behind their backs.

Before coming to Miaoyu's Zhuangzi, Jia Lian was even prepared to join forces with his future colleagues.

But when he arrived at Zhuangzi, Jia Lian knew that when he and the other three masters studied together with Master Qian, after they passed the examination, each of them would be given a post to take care of them.In addition to the salaries of officials, Zhuangzi also gave them a share of money and food, which added up to double salaries, but their errands also included dividends!Newcomers like them get three points in the first three years, and after three years, they can get five points if they meet the standard.The grades are particularly good, and there are ladder rewards.

Jia Lian did a rough calculation, and for every 1 taels of silver he earned for the princess mansion, he would get 300 taels, not counting his salary, money and provisions!

So, does he manage to make money from the thousands of acres of sweet potato fields?

According to Mr. Qian, who is responsible for leading him, last year, Mr. Qian managed more than 5000 mu of sweet potato fields. In addition to paying taxes and handing in money and grain, he also used sweet potatoes to make wine and steamed wine, and used distiller's grains to raise pigs.Among them, the sweet potato wine was sold to the desert, and the people of the desert exchanged real money for spirits. For the spirits alone, his dividends were as high as thousands of taels of silver!

Master Qian said: "Don't envy those county magistrates, they accept bribes of 1000 taels, at least they have to spend some to open up the joints above, and some to share with the people below, so as to stop everyone's mouths. After hard work, 1000 taels of bribes, it would be good to have 200 taels in his pocket in the end. But if the higher-ups really investigate, his crime will still be counted as taking 1000 taels of bribes. Don’t think that the master of the princess mansion is a leaker Officials, there is no fixed number of people. But we are appointed by the court, and we also work for the court! And we don’t have to take the risk of corruption and bribery! Look at the government and the public, who else is cleaner than us here?"

Clean means less risk.

Although there are some things behind the scenes, but compared to the chaos in the court and the officialdom, Miaoyu's Zhuangzi is really a rare quiet place.

It is said that Beijing officials are poor, and in terms of seniority, Master Qian and the others are not as good as Beijing officials.But the fact is that the officials in the capital are really poor, and they have to copy books in exchange for money for tooth sacrifices.However, these master bookkeepers, as few as three or four thousand silver a year, and more than tens of thousands a year are not without it, and they don't have to bear the risk of corruption and bribery.

According to Master Qian, it would not be exchanged for a magistrate.

When Jia Lian first started, it was just because the old bird, Mr. Qian, said something to a rookie in the officialdom like him. However, when the emperor asked Zhuangzi for pickled rabbit meat, furs and wool, things went wrong. same.

National procurement means big deals.I am not afraid that the court has no money, but I am afraid that you have nothing.

Is there a lot of rabbit meat on Miaoyu Village?Of course many!Because rabbit meat has no oil and water, it is not as easy to sell as chicken, duck and pork. Only a few people who have no worries about food and clothing will buy a little toothpaste, and most people will hardly choose it as long as they can choose.But this thing reproduces and grows fast, and now there is a backlog of millions of catties of salted rabbit meat in Miaoyu's village.

With the addition of furs and wool, this time Zhuangzi not only wrote off the deficit, but also got a sum of unrecorded funds and a large order for military supplies.After the account was settled, the chief of ceremony reported to the princess, and the princess' mansion took out 23 taels of silver to the rabbit breeding workshop and the textile workshop, and gave a lot of extra help.Because Jia Lian was called to help for a few days, he also distributed four pieces of silver, which is 200 taels.

Even Jia Lian was very happy because of the 200 taels of silver—after all, he came out of a wealthy family, and 200 taels of silver was really not a lot of money in his eyes, but this sense of accomplishment was different.

That's the case with Jia Lian, let alone others.After all, people with a background like Jia Lian belong to a very small minority in this world.

But the newly appointed officials in the Princess Mansion were all hit, including Jia Lian.Different from others, the other chief bookkeepers have more or less knowledge about farming, but when it comes time to throw themselves into work.

There are many affairs in Princess Duanhui's mansion, Jia Lian got busy and managed to forget about Jia Yuanchun's family visit.

Jia Lian forgot about Jia Yuanchun's visit, but Jia Yuanchun did not forget him.In other words, it wasn't until January of this year, when the countdown to visiting relatives entered, that Baoqin found out about Jia Lian and quickly told Jia Yuanchun.

"what?!"

Jia Yuanchun choked on a mouthful of blood, barely suffocating himself to death!

"He belongs to Concubine Yizhong...?!"

Baoqin said indignantly: "Yes, the concubine and the princess are also true. In terms of seniority, the concubine is the aunt of the second master Lian, and the princess is the cousin of the second master Lian. But they have a slight relationship with the mother. mutual affection?!"

Jia Yuanchun's mind was in chaos.

Why did she enter the palace?Wasn't it because Mrs. Wang told her that her father was afraid that nothing would happen and needed her and brother Jia Zhu to support each other, so she was sent to the palace?

result!Her own brother Jia Zhu is gone, and she has been in the palace for many years, and she is a female historian who has been a foreign official.After suffering for so many years, it was so easy to get ahead, but in the end, her brother disappeared, and Princess Duanhui, who was in front of the empress in the palace, opposed her and stepped on her everywhere!

Thinking that they are still relatives, why doesn't Jia Yuanchun vomit blood?

Jia Yuanchun was raised by Jia's mother with too high a vision, and she looked down on Jia Lian, a low-rank official, but she was very clear about the status of the righteous and loyal concubine in the palace.

She just couldn't see the Supreme Emperor's apology to Concubine Yizhong, and she could also see the Supreme Emperor's favor to Princess Duanhui.This was verified by her own decency and dignity.

In which dynasty and generation would the princess dare to teach the imperial concubine a lesson?No!It's just that they are not favored, the concubines are also the concubines of the princesses, only the princess of this dynasty, as an adopted daughter, took the initiative to teach her this concubine, and got the support of two generations of kings!

Thinking of what happened to him since becoming a concubine, Jia Yuanchun suppressed his temper and shouted: "Enough."

Only then did Baoqin realize that Jia Yuanchun's mood was wrong.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Ma'am, this servant is also doing it for your own good! Think about it, the more people you have, the more power you have, and the more relatives you have, the more power you have. If the princess knew that you and her were relatives, she would still be like this." Grind you?"

Jia Yuanchun said: "What are you talking about? It is Ben Gong who followed Lian Er to call Concubine Yizhong an aunt, and the princess is also Ben Gong's cousin. I don't know if that is the case. If she knows, who knows if she will make a fuss Ben Gong? She is the adopted daughter of the Empress Empress, so she naturally protects the Empress Empress wholeheartedly, so why would she care about me, a relative of the younger generation? "

Even though he said that, Jia Yuanchun didn't give up the idea of ​​Baoqin in time, Baoqin still sent the news back to Jia's family.

When Mrs. Wang received the news, she thought it was Jia Yuanchun's intention, and immediately negotiated with several officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was very angry: "It's my uncle, even if I'm born in the sect, I'm still a foreigner!"

Originally, for a concubine to visit relatives, it was necessary for the Ministry of Rites and the inner court to discuss the exact steps of visiting relatives strictly and carefully. While demonstrating the majesty of the royal family, it is also necessary to prevent assassins from mixing in and ensure safety.Among them, on the day of Jia Yuanchun's visit, which relatives of the Jia family will attend, how to visit, where to wait, and when to meet, all need to be reported to the inner court and the Ministry of Rites in advance.

Now, the Ministry of Rites and the inner court have all arranged multiple parties, and they are waiting for Jia Yuanchun to visit his relatives. The Jia family even said that they want to add people, but they are not from the same clan.The Ministry of Rites and the inner court would definitely not nod, not only would they not nod, the minister of the Ministry of Rites would report it to the imperial court as soon as possible.

The emperor ordered Jia Yuanchun to learn more about the laws and rules of the country: after he was born, Jia Amnesty was no longer a member of the Jia clan, so how could he be qualified to receive Jia Yuanchun's guard of honor?Doesn't Jia Yuanchun even know what a foreigner is?

It was not enough to warn Jia Yuanchun, and let Wu Guifei teach and Zhou Guiren supervised.

"Must let Concubine Xiande learn it!"

Jia Yuanchun immediately became ashamed.

Fortunately, the matter of visiting relatives has not been cancelled. For Jia Yuanchun, this is almost the last consolation.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Jia Yuanchun kowtowed to the queen, and came to Rongguo Mansion according to the rules drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. What he saw were flowers as gorgeous as cooking oil over a fire, but he also saw the depression of his family members.

On the side of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's family, on the side of Rongguo Mansion, there are only Jia Zheng's family and Aunt Xue Baochai's mother and daughter.

Just when Jia Yuanchun was complaining to Mrs. Jia Muwang that the palace was a place where no one could be seen, the Supreme Emperor stood on the rockery in the garden of Ningshou Palace and looked into the distance. The servants around him had no doubt that he was the real son. The line of sight can cross the palace walls.

When Jia Yuanchun looked at each other with tears in his eyes, the Supreme Emperor asked the left and right with an indifferent face: "Wu family, Zhou family and Jia family, how much do they owe to the state treasury, and how much money did they spend on the family's villa?" .”

They looked at each other in blank dismay.

The chief executive answered cautiously.

The Supreme Emperor said: "So that's how it is."

What do you mean there is no money to repay the deficit?It's not that gold and silver have been smashed on the family's family villa!I trust you so much in vain.

The author has something to say: colloquially, the mother's aunt is called aunt or aunt.
