Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

After seeing off the guests, Xing Xiuyan had time to read the mansion newspaper that was just delivered today.It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, she jumped up.

The girls and women in the room immediately raised their heads.

Cui Shi, the foster mother, said: "Girl~ But what happened?"

Xing Xiuyan sat down silently, and finally said after a long time: "The Zhen family has been raided."

Seeing Xing Xiuyan's appearance, Mammy Cui knew that Xing Xiuyan needed a quiet space, so she quickly waved and let Zhuan'er lead the maids back out.

Others are just fine, but Tian Qi, who was selected to be a second-class girl, is the most lively and younger. When she went out, she immediately grabbed Zhuan'er, and said softly: "Sister Zhuan'er, sister Zhuan'er, this girl What kind of family is the Zhen family?"

Zhuan'er looked left and right, took these girls to the veranda on the west side, made sure that the voice could not reach the upper room and that they could pass by the first time when the upper room called for someone, and then said: "So you don't know? This Zhen The family claims to be the first-class wealthy family in the world other than the royal family, but behind their backs everyone says they are the local emperors in the south of the Yangtze River."

"earth……?"

"My God!"

The girls were surprised for a while.

Although they are girls, and they are born in a place like Langya County, it doesn't mean that they don't know anything.At least they know what the emperor is.No matter how ignorant they are, they also know what it means to overstep.

"But girl... the Zhen family is related to our family?"

"Don't worry, our family has nothing to do with the Zhen family, it's just that our aunt married into the Jia family in the capital, and the Jia family is related to the Zhen family."

"The Jia family?"

"Yes. This Jia family is the only decent family in the capital. In the past, there were four princes and eight princes in the founding of the country. Only two princes came out of their family. The two old princes in their family plus the two grandpas in front of them. The four men have all served as military envoys to the capital, guarding the capital for Wansui, do you think such a family is decent?"

The girls exclaimed again.

Tian Qidao: "That is a very rich family! Their family must be very rich, right? My mother said that the most wealthy family in Beijing uses a golden hoe to farm the land, wears gold, and has eggs every now and then. ..."

Zhuan'er couldn't help laughing: "Ignorant girl! A wealthy family like them doesn't farm land at all!"

"Not farming?!"

The exclamations of the girls rose one after another.

Zhuan'er said: "That's right, the men in their family don't touch hoes at all, and even the girls in their family rarely eat eggs. I heard that they despise eggs because they are oily and fishy, ​​and what they feast on is not eggs but eggs." Pigeon eggs, one tael of silver each! What’s even more ridiculous is that the girl in their family occasionally wants to eat scrambled eggs and pays the kitchen five hundred dollars! So, the girl often says that their family is not the same as ours. "

Tian Qi couldn't help but said: "Eggs? Five hundred dollars? Are their eggs made of gold?"

Tian Qi knew very well that her mother had saved eggs for half a month, and carefully guarded them all the way, and they sold them in the county town for only a penny each, and if they bought ten, they would give one away.If in the village, the seller came to collect the eggs, the price would be even lower.

Five hundred cash for a plate of scrambled eggs!

The money in this capital is too easy to earn!

Shan Yao said: "Sister Zhuan'er, the Zhen family has been ransacked, why is the girl so worried? But, are you worried about the eldest aunt?"

Zhuan'er said: "Who says it's not? Our old lady left early, and it's all up to the eldest aunt to pull our master and the second aunt and the third aunt into adults. The Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives. Their family If such a serious matter is committed, if the Jia family is implicated, then... how can the young lady not worry about the eldest aunt?"

All the girls fell silent all of a sudden.

Wasabi also whispered: "In this world, you are not afraid of anything else, but you are afraid of disasters. Although there is a saying that a married woman is worse than a married woman, we are aunts and wives who married into the Jia family. What if... I mean what if... Involved our girls?"

Zhuan'er immediately said: "That's not possible."

Wasabi said, "Sister, are you sure?"

"It's natural. It's because our family is not close to theirs." Seeing Tian Qi, Shan Yao, Wasabi and other girls eagerly waiting for the answer, Zhuan'er explained: "The mansion invited our girl to be a guest in the old year. I have also been fortunate enough to have been there twice, so I know. Don’t look at him as a man of great fortune, but in fact, there are a pair of snobbish eyes all over the mansion, and the rich are naturally favored by them. In the palm of your hand, those who have no money look down on everyone! There are two wives in that mansion. The housekeeper is the second wife, the daughter-in-law of the second master. She was originally the young lady of the Wang family, one of the four major families in Jinling. Speaking of the Jinling royal family, the father of the second wife is also a county magistrate. He used to manage the sea pond in Jinling for Wansui. It is also a matter of tribute from foreign vassals. There are two daughters in the previous generation of their family, one married to the Jia family, which is the second wife, and the other married to the Xue family, which is the Xue family who led the internal funds to buy miscellaneous materials for the palace. .”

"Isn't that a businessman's house? How could the dignified county uncle's house send his daughter to a merchant's house?"

"God knows why! I only know that Xue's family is rich. The pearls that are said to be like mud, gold and iron on Jinling's official talisman refer to their family. Because of the aunt and wife, our girl is often taken out. Compare it with the sister of the Xue family."

Wasabi said: "Then, since the girl from the Xue family is the granddaughter of the Jinling royal family, she must be very outstanding, right?"

Zhuan'er sneered and said: "What are you picking out?! Nominally, she was sent to Beijing, but everyone knows that her brother is a murderer on the run. How could the palace want such a person whose family is not innocent? Let alone Said that there is no intermediary and no license to worry about my brother, and no matter whether there is a marriage certificate or not, the word of a golden and jade marriage is first spread!"

Before the words fell, the maids and women below all exclaimed.

"how is this possible?!"

"Why is such a family?!"

"Well, is the Xue family so careless?"

Even the country girls like them know that they need three matchmakers and six certificates to talk about marriage.

"I know you don't believe me!" Zhuan'er sneered, "Why don't you go back and ask Mammy."

Hearing what Zhuan'er said, these maids and mothers-in-law inevitably whispered to each other, but they believed it too much.

Madam Cui's credit is very good.

Tian Qi hesitated and said: "Such a woman, my aunt and her husband's family probably won't want it?"

"Of course not. The old lady in the mansion was the first to refuse, even the brother's own father. So I can only delay it! Because the grandma of the Xue family lived with a pair of children in their house already For several years, I stayed at Jia's house even during Chinese New Year, and never went back to my own home, which caused the old lady in the mansion to be very dissatisfied. I don’t know how many gossips have been made up behind the scenes! Our masters and wives have made up their minds because of this. Although we remember our aunt and wife, we will never let our girl go to that mansion again, unless we really can’t refuse. One time. Counting it carefully, we girl went to their house only four times during the eight years in Beijing."

The Jia family has a great career, and they look down on their girls, Zhuan'er is not annoyed.Originally, one family was the mansion of the Duke, and one family was originally a commoner, so they were not from the same way.

But the servants of the Jia family really look down on people!Their Xing family is poor, and they are decent people anyway.What is the Xue family?There are also good merchants in the family, and she has also heard of Confucian merchants.But what is the Xue family?She thinks her mouth is dirty if she talks about his family's behavior!

The girls outside were chattering, while inside the room, Xing Xiuyan's face was as sinking as water.

In her opinion, the Supreme Emperor is not so much benevolent and magnanimous as he is selfish to the extreme.Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the shortfall of the Zhen family. Who doesn't know that it was owed when he picked up the driver four times that year?There is also the Jiangning Weaving Mansion where the Zhen family is currently living, which is a temporary palace, and the daily maintenance costs are a lot of money, and these do not go to the national treasury, but are borne by the Zhen family.The Taishang Huang Ming also urged the Zhen family to return the shortfall, but the salaries given to officials by the imperial court are only so small. If it is used for food, then don't expect new clothes, let alone buy jewelry and entertainment, let alone the upbringing of children and grandchildren. said.The legal income of the Zhen family is enough to feed his own family, so what can they use to repay such a huge shortfall?

If the Supreme Emperor really wanted to solve the problem for the Zhen family, why didn't he build another weaving mansion?And why has the Zhen family been burdened with the maintenance costs of the Jiangnan Palace?

Instead of finding a way to solve the problem fundamentally, he connived at the Zhen family's embezzlement of official money. In the end, the hole in the Zhen family became bigger and bigger, and the state affairs became more and more corrupt.

This is the abuse of the Supreme Dynasty!

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor has abdicated. Although the Supreme Emperor has been in power for the past few years, Xing Xiuyan is very clear that the locust plague for three consecutive years is an opportunity for the current emperor!

The point is, what kind of person is the emperor today.

Xing Xiuyan felt that if the current emperor wants to make a difference, if the current emperor wants to turn the tide and become the master of Zhongxing, then he must be distinguished from the Supreme Emperor, for example, to fundamentally prevent the courtiers from reaching out to officials and banks. Behavior.However, if you want the horse to run fast and don't want to feed the horse, it will definitely not work.

Having made up her mind, Xing Xiuyan asked Nanny Cui: "Mommy, tell me, how about I give the secret booklet to Wansui?"

Cui Momo was stunned at the time: "Jun Jun~?!"

"As the sixth-rank Junjun of the imperial court, do I have this right?"

Nanny Cui hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yes, as the imperial court wife, you have this right."

Every married woman officially appointed by the court has the right to write to the emperor, but in fact few people do so.

"Then I will trouble you to sharpen the ink."

Those merchants are like sharks smelling blood. The first batch of salt here in Xing Xiuyan has just been packed into storage, and they have already come to Langya County.The Wu and Wei families are just the first wave, and there will be more and more people in the future.

The folk customs in Langya County are tough, and it is no secret that Zhuangzi produces salt.Now that the salt bag hasn't gone out, that's fine.But in the future, if those farm households see mountains of salt being shipped out and white silver being shipped in, and they only get a little bit of it, it's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, what will happen?

Therefore, Xing Xiuyan planned to ask the emperor for money, and asked for dividends in the cross-sea salt trade.

Of course, distributing money is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to test whether the emperor is the kind of master who wants the horse to run fast but does not intend to feed the horse.

If he is not, Xing Xiuyan does not mind working with him; if he is, then Xing Xiuyan must make another plan as soon as possible.

The author has something to say: Don't call me sister Heibao.

Zhuan'er is an ancient girl, a real native.
