Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng earned another 10 taels of silver this winter. Naturally, Jia Shexing and his wife couldn't hide such a big matter.When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng went to greet Jia She and the Xing family one day, Jia She suddenly mentioned this matter:

"Lian'er, Brother Feng, I heard that your Zhuangzi earned a lot of money this winter."

Xing's eyes wandered.

Although this year Wang Xifeng honored her with two sets of filial piety as usual, and Jia Lian also had gifts, but she loves money and will react when she hears the word money.It's just that she herself knew that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had earned it. It was only natural for Jia to pardon her, but her stepmother couldn't do it.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Responding to my father's words, yes. Both my son and daughter-in-law have earned a lot of money. However, it's only this year. In the future, the winter fruits and vegetables may not be able to afford the price."

Because in the second half of this year, many people, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are preparing to grow off-season vegetables. If there are too many vegetables, the price will be cheap.

Jia She said: "In that case, I can feel relieved."

If you eat alone, you will be stuffed to death.

Jia Lian said: "There is another matter that needs to be reported to my father."

"Oh? What's the matter."

"My son bought a paddy field and a depression in the west of Gyeonggi, where lignite is produced, but the burial is a bit deep, and it needs to be dug a foot or five feet down."

Jia Amnesty was stunned at the time: "How much did you buy?"

This kid, shouldn't he have already planned it?

"We bought [-] mu in August, and another [-] mu in September. So far we have bought [-] mu in that area."

At that time, Xing blurted out: "So much?"

She originally thought that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were good at management and could buy three or four thousand acres of land for the family in a year, but who would have thought that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng would add more than 1 acres of land? !

It was Jia Amnesty who made a calculation in his mind and said, "Are you asking the court for money again?"

Jia Lian said: "Yes, father. This is the way Feng'er came up with. First, he borrowed 5 taels, agreed to pay one cent per month, and pay the interest monthly, and repay the principal at maturity. Feng'er used 3000 taels of silver. The interest was exchanged for the qualification to borrow 25 taels of silver from the imperial court. The 1000 mu of land was purchased with these 25 taels of silver."

Jia She said: "This debt must be repaid as soon as possible."

"My son has already reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs, because the amount of silver is large, let them come to the house to collect it in the future."

Xing couldn't help but look at Wang Xifeng again.

This daughter-in-law, this level of family management skills, is really unheard of!

She said: "However, if the 1 mu of land is hollowed out, won't there be only ponds left in the future?"

Jia Amnesty glared at his wife.

He thought Xing didn't understand and was talkative.

But Jia Lian cupped his hands at Xing and said, "Mother, please rest assured, my son has already inquired about it. That area was originally a depression hundreds of years ago. More than 30 years ago, a county magistrate came out to open up wasteland and silt up this area. It is strange to say that when it was a depression, the weather was good every year, but after it was reclaimed and turned into a good field, it was afraid of drought and waterlogging. My son heard that it was because of bad feng shui. Although my son The pond was dug to profit from the peat and lignite, but if it is really dug and the water returns, it may become a good place with good weather again."

When Mrs. Xing heard about it, she nodded and said, "So it is, so it is. Amitabha, this is indeed a very good thing."

Jia Amnesty also nodded: "There is no need to dig all of the 1 mu of land into ponds. If it can improve Feng Shui, you can dig half of it and use the remaining half as good land. It is also a good thing for future generations. Lianer, you have done a good job."

"This is the news that Feng'er inquired about."

Jia Amnesty nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Lian's daughter-in-law is indeed a good housekeeper and director, and she is even better at pioneering. In this regard, the big girl is not even as good as your shadow! You can teach her when you have free time."

"Yes, father, my daughter-in-law is taking orders." Wang Xifeng said, "My daughter-in-law is planning to open a lotus pond in the humble garden to plant lotus roots. If my sister doesn't mind, let's take a look together."

Jia She said: "What can she be unwilling to do?"

These are all recipes!Something money can't buy!Even in a wealthy family, not every prostitute can get it!Not to mention a concubine like Yingchun.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a young servant running hurriedly outside, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Old man! Master, long live, long live is about to abdicate!"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian stood up with a bang.

Jia Amnesty said, "You, what did you say?"

The young man said: "The housekeeper of the Wang family is at the door right now, saying that it was the uncle of the Wang family who came to court this morning, and he didn't want Wan Sui to suddenly announce his abdication, and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the abdication ceremony."

Jia Amnesty said, "Where is the new king?"

"The fourth prince, Prince Ming."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian looked at each other, and suddenly both fell to their seats.

Xing was shocked: "Old, ma'am, grandpa..."

Wang Xifeng was also taken aback by Jia Amnesty Jia Lian's reaction.

She didn't know why Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian reacted so strongly, but she reckoned that it might have something to do with the Jia family's past.

She said: "Father, my husband, although the saint has been partial to Prince Jing, who was born by the concubine Zhen Guifei for many years, and although our Jia family was old relatives with the Zhen family before, the Zhen family was dating the Jia family from the Rongguo Mansion. They It was the head of the Rongguo Mansion who came and went. When my father lived in that mansion, every time the Zhen family came, why did they go to the East Courtyard to meet their parents? Didn't they go directly to the Rongxi Hall every time? From my point of view, it may not be beneficial for our family that Prince Ming ascended the throne."

At least the couple relied on repaying the shortfall to gain a sense of presence in front of Prince Ming.

Not only was it the repayment of the Rongguo Mansion's shortfall, but also the subsequent two borrowings and repayments, Prince Ming must have been impressed.After all, the one who was ordered to take charge of the household department was precisely this His Highness known as the Living Hades.

The Xing family didn't understand very well. Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, he immediately became happy: "One emperor and one courtier. After the abdication ceremony, the new sage will definitely promote officials. So, our Lian'er has a chance?"

Everyone went to see Jia Lian in unison.

Jia Lian was also dumbfounded: "I, can I be an official?"

Wang Xifeng said: "It depends on the impression you leave on the new saint."

Jia Lian was shocked, and immediately remembered the question Wang Xifeng asked him.

But Wang Xifeng thought about a completely irrelevant question: Why did the emperor abdicate?He has been in power for decades, why is he willing to be the Supreme Emperor?Doesn't he know that this is tantamount to giving someone else (that is, the new king) a chance to share the power in his hands?

The answers to these questions are clear.

The emperor did not want to be the king of subjugation, so he abdicated.

In other words, the politics of the imperial court has been corrupted to the point that the old sage can't bear it.It is conceivable what is going on with the national finances today.

But after he abdicates, will he let go of power?

It doesn't take much to figure out what the answer is.

In other words, the newly released Supreme Emperor probably chose to abdicate because he did not want to be the king of subjugation.But after abdicating, he will definitely not give up the power in his hand, so the battle between the Supreme Emperor and the emperor will become more intense, and such a battle will definitely drag down the entire country.

In other words, the opportunity to change the dynasty is right in front of you!

The problem is, this already coincides with Jia Baoyu's stone. Jia Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth and was born with great fortune. These rumors must have entered the palace a long time ago, and the Supreme Emperor must know.

That is to say, the Supreme Emperor must be wary of Jia's family and Jia Zheng's side, but he doesn't know, no, it should be said, whether the whole royal family is also wary of Jia Amnesty's side.Is the behavior of my husband and wife also under the full monitoring of the royal family?

If yes, then she should be careful.If she had the same determination as the previous dungeon, then the difficulty she faced would be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times that of the previous dungeon.

—— Conspiracies and tricks are afraid that they will not work, so I can only use Yangmou~!By the way, beware of royal conspiracies.

Wang Xifeng immediately thought of Jia Yuanchun in the original book.

——I'm afraid that Jia Yuanchun was an abandoned son from the beginning of his career as a female historian.It's just that I don't know whether Jia Yuanchun knows it or not.

The words circled in Wang Xifeng's mind before disappearing again.

Now is not a good time to mention Jia Yuanchun.What's more, Jia She and Jia Lian are not idiots. It's the same if they say something when the time comes. Saying it now will only cause bad things.

Because of the abdication ceremony, the entire capital was busy.Not only Jia Amnesty has expectations for Jia Lian's future, but Mrs. Jia Muwang also has great expectations for Jia Zheng's reinstatement.So much so that in the next few months, all she heard was these things.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Wang Xifeng.Because Prince Ming's ascension exceeded most people's expectations, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to take care of all the big and small things including entertainment and gifts in person.

In other words, Jia She and Jia Lian are in charge of the external affairs, and Mrs. Xing is responsible for the internal affairs. As for Wang Xifeng, all she really has left is the servants with their bare feet and skirts tucked in their waists. Lined up in a line, putting hands on the shoulders of the predecessors, stepping back and forth on the bottom of the newly paved lotus pond.

There is no way, this method of paving the pool must step on the bottom of the pool so that it does not leak.

As for why she didn't go to the pool in person, one was because of her status, and the other was because she was pregnant.

The goodwill from last time was enough.

Even if her physical condition permits and she has free time, she still has to look at the account book sent by her dowry Zhuangzi.

What she cares more about now is the prices of goods and food outside.Because she knows that many things will be reflected in commodity prices and food prices.If chaos is about to break out, it will be reflected in commodity and grain prices.

Wang Xifeng was quite calm about the abdication ceremony, but some people were not calm.Not long after, Mrs. Xing came to Wang Xifeng and told her about Mrs. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's affairs.

It turned out that Jia Zheng had always thought that the grandson of the Zhen family, Prince Jing, would ascend the throne, but in the end it was Prince Ming who ascended the throne. The Palace of the Ming Dynasty sent generous gifts.

They treated this person indifferently before, but now they want to send gifts in, how easy is it?Isn't it the only way to double the gifts?

Mrs. Xing said: "I heard that the ones that are taken out are all Mrs. Tai's body!"

After changing her words, Mother Jia is now the wife of Jia Amnesty.

Wang Xifeng said: "Mother, Mrs. Tai has been the Duke's wife for most of her life, how can she not have a few precious things?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xing wanted to open her mouth, Wang Xifeng immediately reached out to stop her: "Mother, we don't have our share in these things, why should we think about it? We eat and drink well, don't we have a good time this day? Over there...that's over there." It's nothing to do with us."

Mrs. Xing said: "Girl Feng, I am not fair for your father-in-law, but also for Lian'er. Logically, your father-in-law is the eldest son, and Lian'er is the eldest son and grandson! But..."

Those things should have been pardoned by Jia Lian!

"Because the father-in-law is the eldest son, Mrs. Tai feels that the younger son has to rely on himself to make progress and work hard. Because we will earn money, they don't have any income, so they want to subsidize the other side. It's just the old man's heart."

Mrs. Xing said: "There should be a limit to eccentricity!"

Wang Xifeng said: "Mother~ You have to think about it this way. Now that Lian'er is capable, we have left a shadow in front of the new sage. In the future, when Lian'er becomes an official, our good days are yet to come. Mrs. Tai's things, It’s one thing and one thing less. We’re still young and we have plenty of time to wait and see the results.”

Mrs. Xing is not a fool either, after a moment of pondering, she immediately understood.

She widened her eyes in surprise, but Wang Xifeng nodded slightly.

The ceremony of abdication is not easy.Although the news was announced in spring and an imperial edict was issued, saying that everything should be kept simple, the Ministry of Rites still worked diligently to prepare for more than half a year before it was fully prepared.When the abdication ceremony was held, Wang Xifeng's children were all born, and they were in confinement, so they reported the birth directly.

During this period, the issue of the deficit was brought up again, and even Jia Lian said that it was fortunate that they returned it in time so they were not troubled, but now the household department can no longer lend money.

Wang Xifeng knew that those companies who insisted on refusing to pay back the shortfall might have been charged again.

Sure enough, not long after the abdication ceremony, the new emperor issued an edict to use the old staff.

This time, Jia Min did not go to Yangzhou with her husband, so naturally she did not die. Her two sons and daughters also stayed in Beijing with her. There was no such thing as Jia Yucun approaching Jia Zheng with Lin Ruhai's recommendation letter.

It can be said that Jia Yucun has nothing to do with the Jia family this time, and it is not known who was finally given the post of Yingtian magistrate. Instead, Jia Lian really got the official post.

The new emperor is not an idiot either. The first thing he does when he is in power is to find ways to cultivate his confidantes. One of his methods is to use old staff. The second thing is naturally to find a way to get a small treasury.

There is no way, although he ascended the throne, the House of Internal Affairs is not under his jurisdiction at all, and if he wants to do something, the first thing is to have money and food in his hand.Although Jia Lian is a child of the Jia family, this makes him a little uncomfortable, but it is impossible for Jia Lian to be able to manage it!In the past two years, Jia She's family's income of several 10 taels a year, he has seen it all.

So he wanted Jia Lian to help him get money.

But after talking with Jia Lian, he changed his mind.

Jia Lian is a typical dude, but he is also a man with flesh and blood and a conscience. He directly told the current emperor that the means he is using now can be used to run a small family like theirs, but if it is placed in the state At this level, such a method is somewhat ineffective.

Jia Lian also asked the emperor, as a king, where he wants to lead the country.

It has to be said that Jia Lian, who was somewhat youthful, directly asked the emperor to be dumb.

The emperor's heart is MMP.

He thought to himself: I am short of people and money now!I need loyal subjects and a lot of money!No one has no money, I'm just a puppet, I can't do anything, and I might lose my life!You jabbering, you're all nonsense!

But on the surface, the new emperor still praised Jia Lian.

Why?Because he knew that the court was controlled by the Supreme Emperor, and Jia Lian could be said to be the first person to remonstrate with him. If this is not done well, there will be fewer and fewer people who remonstrate with him in the future!Now that the Supreme Emperor refuses to delegate power, and the powerful group headed by the four kings and eight princes is pressing harder and harder, if he turns his face, it will even affect the real power in his hands.

In front of several ministers, the new emperor praised Jia Lian as a thoughtful person, and then asked Jia Lian to go to the household department and become the head of the household department of Zhengliupin.

Originally, Jia Lian had a donated official who knew him well, he was a foreign official of the sixth rank, and there was such an unwritten rule in the official circles of the Guochao that the official in Beijing was three ranks higher.The head of the household department of the sixth rank is equal to Tong Zhi in terms of official rank, but in fact they are three ranks higher.

For Jia Lian who has been waiting for a shortage, this is undoubtedly a great joy.Jia Amnesty was so happy that he asked someone to buy several bundles of loud firecrackers, which were set off crackling for a long time.

As for Wang Xifeng, he seized the time to visit the foster mother.

Jia Lian won the official position, and Mrs. Jia's mother and wife looked forward to Jia Zheng's reinstatement.But these days passed day by day, the new emperor started to take care of the inner court after taking care of the outer court, Wang Xifeng's nuns were all invited home and began to teach Yingchun in detail, Jia Zheng still didn't have a single order.

The Xue family came to Beijing at this time.

When the new emperor came to the throne, his daughter became a princess. According to the usual practice, some daughters of famous officials and famous families were selected as talents and praises. In name, they were court ladies, but in fact they were the princess's playmates.However, anyone who loves their daughter will not be willing to let her go to the palace to do such a job of serving people.Those who would make this idea are either people like Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, or people like the Xue family who urgently need to revitalize the lintel.

In fact, in terms of the Xue family's family status alone, it is still a little short of this selection.No way, who made Xue's family just the royal merchant's family?Even if Ziwei Sheren was born in the ancestors, it was several generations ago.What the Xue family is facing now is Xue Pan's failure to live up to expectations, the Xue family's business is shrinking day by day, and the family situation is getting worse day by day.

Aunt Xue couldn't make up her mind to raise her son well, and she only pinned her hopes on her daughter, hoping that the daughter raised by her husband would make great achievements and come to the Xue family.

Aunt Xue once considered this question on the way to Beijing with her two children: whether to go to Wang's house or Jia's house.

On the one hand, it is because their Xue family’s house has not been lived in for many years, and it needs time and manpower to clean it; on the other hand, it is because there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing. Can't afford a splash.Therefore, seeking refuge with relatives and friends has become a must.

Just comparing the indifferent natal sister-in-law and the warmly inviting sister in the letter, Aunt Xue finally made a decision to go directly to Jia's house.

In addition to seeking refuge, she also imagined that it would be best to use the name of Jia Mu, the princess of the country, to coat Xue Baochai with a layer of gold, and it would be best to send Xue Baochai into the palace to honor their Xue family's ancestors.

The day Xue's family arrived at Jia Zheng's house, Wang Xifeng was not there, but she heard about it the next day when she followed Mrs. Xing to greet Jia's mother. Mrs. Wang opened the door to welcome Xue's family, and Jia Zheng also attended the reception banquet Give the Xue family a welcome.

Jia Min was there at the time, and his face immediately changed when he heard about it.

In the old days, the doors of people's houses could not be opened casually.Generally speaking, apart from the entry and exit of the head of the house, the door can only be opened when nobles (that is, people with higher status than the head of the house) come to the door and angels come to announce the decree.Generally speaking, family members go in and out through the side door.

However, on Jia Zheng's side, even if Jia Zheng himself was dismissed, Jia Zhu is now a white man, but Jia's mother is still there, and Jia Zheng still uses Jia's mother's name.In front of Jia's mother, the super-class princess and wife, what is the honor of the Xue family?Is it worth Mrs. Wang to open the door?

Jia Min, a dignified imperial court ordered his wife to visit his mother, but he never walked through Jia Zheng's main entrance!

Not to mention, in this era, occupational discrimination and status discrimination are very serious.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, these four classes are distinct.Shang is the end of the four classes!Not to mention the right and wrong among them, this is the case in this era.Mrs. Wang opened the middle door to welcome Xue's family, but let Mrs. Jia Minxing go through the side door, just to humiliate them.

Hearing the excitement when Xue's family came, Jia Min stood up and said goodbye directly.

Mrs. Wang said: "My sister is still like this. I can't bear the slightest grievance. The Xue family was originally a guest..."

Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Don't younger brothers and sisters know what it means to open the door? My younger sister is married, she is the Lin family and she is also a guest."

Saying so, he also stood up, and took his daughter-in-law and daughter to bid farewell to Jiamu.

It turned out that he completely ignored the retention and left directly.

For the first time, Jia's mother did not ask to keep her daughter and eldest daughter-in-law.

Not to mention Mrs. Jia Mu Wang, but Mrs. Jia Min Xing and Wang Xifeng welcomed the spring and left Jia Zheng's side. Mrs. Xing immediately invited Jia Min to her house.

Following Mrs. Xing through the side door to Mude Hall, Jia Amnesty had already heard the news and sat down in the hall.

After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Jia Amnesty said to Jia Min: "Sister, didn't you already know about our family? If it weren't for these unruly things, our family would not have fallen so quickly."

It's not that Jia Amnesty didn't have any feelings about being deprived of the title.

Jia Min said: "Brother~! My sister is feeling uncomfortable! I have already made a mistake once, and I have been punished. I even paid out the foundation of my ancestors. Isn't it enough? What should I do before it is over?!"

Jia She let out a long sigh and said nothing.

Jia Min cried for a while, then suddenly stopped the tears and said, "Brother, you should find a way to divide the clan."

Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded: "Sister, what did you say?"

"Brother, you didn't hear it. I mean, please find a way to divide the sect as soon as possible. I see that sooner or later the elder brother will be dragged down. I am afraid that only by dividing the sect can we avoid being dragged down. Brother, just Please be my sister, for my father's sake, leave a piece of flesh and blood for him. Father gave birth to us and raised us, don't let father cut off the incense~!"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he let out a long sigh.

Only Jia Min can say these words.

"Big brother?"

"Mother is still here. Me, I'll think about it again."

Division and division are two different things.If the family is separated, Jia She is still a member of the Jia clan, but if the clan is divided, Jia She is an outsider.When Jia's mother was around, he raised the sect, and with the education Jia She had received, he couldn't do it at all.

Hearing what Jia She said, Jia Min couldn't help crying again.

Why didn't she know that Jia's disordered rules started from Jia's mother?But Mother Jia is her own mother~!

The two brothers and sisters faced each other, sad and sad, tearful and tearful, and did not speak for a long time.After all, Jia Min missed the two children who stayed at home, and went back after eating at Jia Amnesty's place.

After Jia Min left, Jia She called his wife, daughter-in-law and daughter to him, and ordered:

"Mrs. Tai is Mrs. Tai after all, she is my own mother. Even if you are cold there, there is no reason not to go there to make Mrs. Tai's morning and night. There are a few words, you all write down."

Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Yingchun quickly answered yes.

Jia She said: "The second one doesn't care about things. Even if the second daughter-in-law turned the house over, he didn't care about it. The matter of the Xue family is the same. I don't tell you what the second daughter-in-law does. .She will definitely hold the Xue family to fight with Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Xing, "

Mrs. Xing quickly agreed.

Jia She said: "You are my daughter-in-law after all, and my mother will not push you out. The Xue family has no daughter-in-law now, and they will not find Feng girl, so the only possibility is..."

Sensing her father's gaze, Yingchun couldn't help shrinking back, Jia She was so angry at the sight:

"You timid, what are you doing? Is your food short at home, or your clothes short? If you are compared to that girl from the Xue family, see if I won't break your legs!"

When Yingchun heard about it, she trembled again.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Grandpa, there is something that my wife has been thinking about for a long time, and I just want to ask Grandpa for advice."

"You said."

"My younger sister is not too young. I heard that the girl of the Xue family was carefully raised by her family, and she even thought about sending her to the palace. It can be seen that she was carved with great effort. On the contrary, it is the younger sister who was dismissed since she was a child." After raising her, her temperament has been smoothed out again. This is not possible. Our second master has only such a girl in total. In the future, he will definitely be the main wife of others. The younger sister's temper will be able to hold down those concubines in the future. , can still suppress those housekeeper daughters-in-law? Therefore, the daughter-in-law thinks that it is not only about nurturing the nanny, but also preparing a small village for the younger sister. Other daughter-in-laws don’t understand, but money is the back of a person. As the saying goes, daughter-in-law But I've heard of it."

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and said: "That's fine, prepare a small village of [-] mu for this girl. If she has the ability, the village will grow up in a few years. If she loses all by herself, I can't blame anyone!"

"Yes."

"Mother, don't go there for a while."

Although it is impossible not to go there all the time, there must be an expression from there, at least wait until Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have a fight, and then it will not be too late.

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng both agreed, saying that they just took the opportunity to get Yingchun's Zhuangzi out.

It is said that it is a small Zhuangzi prepared for Yingchun, but in fact, this Zhuangzi is still in the hands of Mrs. Xing.

Without him, Yingchun is too young, only ten years old, and too soft-tempered, so neither Jia She, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, nor Yingchun herself thinks there is anything wrong with this.

Of course, for Yingchun herself, this is not without any benefits.Because the pocket money in her hand has increased.

In fact, after the family separation, Jia Amnesty's inner house rules almost copied the original rules of the Rongguo Mansion, that is to say, in addition to the monthly money of two taels of silver for Yingchun, there was also a subsidy of two taels of silver for cosmetics.Because she is directly under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Xing now, Mrs. Xing thought that her nanny was arranged by Mrs. Wang, so she kicked her out when she moved, and beat the people around her severely. No one dared to steal her share.

not only.

Mrs. Xing is someone who hates all kinds of unspoken rules in Rongguo Mansion. She is in charge of the house, so she naturally does not allow the same thing to happen in her territory. As Jia She's only daughter and Jia Lian's only sister, Yingchun is even more is a direct beneficiary.She didn't need to spend money to send those decent girls and women, so she basically saved the four taels of silver every month.Now that we have this small village, although Madam Xing is in charge of it, Madam Xing spent a lot of effort to take care of it, and half of the income went into Madam Xing's pocket, but how to manage it, how much money is invested in it, and how to use rewards Wang Xifeng didn't have time to talk about these things, but Mrs. Xing took the account book and told Yingchun in detail.

And dividends.

Although the price of vegetables in winter this year is cheap, Yingchun still received a dividend of five silver coins.The white silver ingots are packed in a money box.

With disposable money in hand, it is easy for Yingchun to buy some gadgets for herself.Although 250 taels of silver could not afford a complete set of head jewelry, other bits and pieces were acceptable.

Now Ruyilou is also familiar with Jia Amnesty, and brochures will be sent in every month.With money in her hands, Yingchun can choose what she likes, without even asking Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng for approval.

In February of this year, because of Jiamu's repeated invitations, Yingchun came to Jiamu's side again with her mother and sister-in-law. Talking in the house, it happened that Zhou Rui's family ran errands to deliver palace flowers for Xue's family.

Yingchun only glanced at it, and saw that it was just a palace flower prepared for the ladies in the palace. Although it looked bright, it was actually the same thing. Relying on the bright color of the silk, it was actually just a fake. .

She politely thanked Zhou Rui's family, and said, "Aunt Xue is too polite. I am a guest just like Sister Bao."

Saying that, he took out a pair of golden silk silk grasshoppers from his purse.Asked Tanchun to put it in a small palm-sized box inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and said: "We sisters have nothing to return. Please accept this pair of golden grasshoppers, and string them with gold thread. The earrings are very good. I heard that this kind of earrings are very popular outside this year. Sister Bao, let's play with it."

Zhou Rui's family looked at it and saw that the golden grasshopper was woven with gold thread thinner than a hair. When it moved slightly, the tentacles on its head trembled, just like it was alive.There is also a red coral bead the size of a red bean hidden in each katydid's stomach, which is packed in a small mother-of-pearl box, which is more delicate, making the brocade box and the palace flowers in the brocade box more crude.

Zhou Rui's family backed away embarrassingly.

After she finished delivering the palace flowers, she returned to Xue's yard and took out the pair of golden grasshoppers. The faces of Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were all hot.

Mrs. Wang said: "I recognize this box, but I have never seen this grasshopper before. It doesn't look like something from our family."

Zhou Rui's family hastily said so and so.

Mrs. Wang frowned, and said: "After the second girl passed by, she became more and more delicate."

Aunt Xue quickly said: "There is only the second girl over there, how can she not be pampered? I heard that Feng girl also gave birth to a sister? The old lady now has a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter, so she must be very happy?"

Mrs. Wang thought that Wang Xifeng had given birth to a daughter, and Li Wan had finally given birth to her a grandson, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

After Mrs. Wang left, Aunt Xue's face became pale.

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Mom, when we were at home, why didn't I have two boxes of these things? It's just that it's too big now, so it's not convenient to play with these. The second sister took out two at random, it's good for the second sister over there." , has nothing to do with us.”

Aunt Xue has soft ears, but Xue Baochai is not confused.

Jia Min and Mrs. Xing were both annoyed because of their Xue family's entry to Beijing before. It was Jia's mother who acted like a mother and mother-in-law and sent her confidantes to invite them three times and five times, which made these two come back.But this is the case, after all, the two families have a pimple. I heard that Jia Min used to make excuses for not bringing his children, but now he just doesn't look for it.

And Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, although they didn't make it clear, but when Yingchun came to Jiamu's place as a guest, there were always things like golden grasshoppers in their purses, so it was not because of them?

Although Xue Baochai was eventually dismissed because of Xue Pan's affairs, she still wanted to marry into a noble family.Both Jia Min and Mrs. Xing are people she needs to curry favor with.

Needless to say, the Lin family is all about Lin Ruhai, not to mention her father has been dead for many years, even if her father is alive, he will bow down after seeing Lin Ruhai!How dare she argue with Jia Min? !Compared with Mrs. Wang's side and Mrs. Xing's side, Mrs. Wang relies on her mother-in-law Jia Mu, and Mrs. Xing's side is Jia Lian who is promising, and these two people are Yingchun's grandmother and Yingchun's brother. .If she meets Yingchun, will Mother Jia help her granddaughter or someone with a different surname?Is Jia Lian helping his own sister, or his wife's cousin?

It wasn't Xue Baochai who said, she didn't think she had the face to let Wang Xifeng speak for her.Otherwise, their family would not have lived in Jia's house.

Aunt Xue sighed and said nothing.

She couldn't help thinking about her marriage.Although her husband treated her well, he couldn't make up for the regret in her heart after all.Thinking of her daughter, in terms of appearance, character, and behavior, which one is not outstanding?But just because of her status, she was suppressed by a concubine, how could she feel at ease?

Emotionally, she couldn't accept that her daughter was not as good as Jia Yingchun - no matter what, her daughter was also a descendant, the granddaughter of the Earl's family!
