The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

贴金

When the current emperor received the urgent memorial from Lin Ruhai, he saw someone mining gold mines privately, Long Yan was furious at first, and then saw that Lin Ruhai had already caught all the offenders, and even copied out several 10 taels of gold .You must know that there are only a few 10 taels of silver in the treasury now, and the emperor has no money in his hands, so he has to think twice about building a garden.Now with these silvers, it is finally possible to fill up the treasury that has been empty for a long time.

Moreover, the memorial also stated that the treasury has been inspected by several experienced craftsmen. This gold mine can mine 20 taels of gold every year, and there will be no problem in mining it for another ten or eight years.

Long Xin is very happy, this Lin Ruhai is like giving me a hen that lays golden eggs.He thought to himself, if I have gold in my hands, why can't I have the government in my own hands.As for the emperor, he has controlled the government for so many years, it's time for him to really abdicate.

Lin Ruhai has done such a beautiful job, but today is not the kind of emperor who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, so that his wife and children are killed. Not to mention Lin Ruhai's little life, he almost confessed to taking office in Yangzhou.Thinking of the newly vacated post of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Rites, from the second rank, it is just one rank higher than the chief envoy.Originally, he was hesitating among several ministers, but now there is no need to hesitate, let Lin Ruhai take over this position.First practice in the Ministry of Rites for a few years, and if you perform well in the future, you can discuss it again.

With such a large amount of gold, the emperor was also afraid of having long nights and dreams.He secretly hid Lin Ruhai's notes, and no one showed them.He secretly told his cronies that Zhong Lang from the Gyeonggi Daying Camp secretly led a thousand soldiers to Huguang in the name of going out of the city to practice in the field, and helped Lin Ruhai transport the gold back safely.

As for the Supreme Emperor, doesn't he feel aggrieved by living in the palace and wants to go to the palace?Then let him go, the emperor originally thought it would cost at least [-] silver to go there, and he felt a little distressed. Now that he has money in his hand, he doesn't care about these three melons and two dates, and he should hold that gold mine to himself as soon as possible. Hands are better.

As soon as Lin Ruhai received the secret decree, he took Jin Zi and went to the capital to return to his command.The eunuch who came to announce the decree was also signaled by the emperor, implying that Lin Ruhai would not return to Huguang after returning to Beijing.So before he left, he arranged for Jia Lian and Lin Ming to help Liu Shi pack his bags here, and then return to Beijing by boat after everything was packed.

And Liu Xianglian, who was more skilled, was brought by his side as his personal guard.

While tidying up the household belongings, Mrs. Xing saw that the Babu bed she had chosen for Mrs. Liu was taken apart again, and said with a smile: "If I had known that we would return to Beijing so soon, this marriage might as well wait until I go back to work. Save the tossing back and forth, my old arms and legs are not lightly tossed."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Who can predict these things?" Although it took a lot of time this time, it was a surprise that my cousin could go back to Beijing with her.

Just thinking of the brothers in the second room, Aunt Liu couldn't help but look at Mrs. Liu worriedly, thinking that she hoped that those individuals could still save face.

When they set foot on the boundary of the capital again, it had already started to snow here.Fortunately, when they came, the water had not yet started to freeze, and they finally returned here unimpeded all the way.

When they arrived at the pier, Mrs. Xing insisted on dragging Daiyu and Mrs. Liu back to the Grand View Garden first, but Mrs. Liu refused.In the end, Xing could only say: "If you

I won't stop you if you have to go home, I know you still have a lot of things to do after you go back.But Sister Yu will go back to Jia's house with me first, firstly, your house will be so busy, and secondly, I haven't seen the old lady for more than half a year, and I'm not sure how to worry about Yu'er.If I don't take her back, I'm afraid I won't even have food tonight, so let her go back with me first, and you will pick her up after your house is packed. "

She begged again and again, but Liu Shi couldn't hold her back, so she had to let Daiyu go back with her.

Back at Jia's house, as soon as he entered the second gate, he saw Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Youshi from Xifu all waiting here.

Mrs. Xing got out of the carriage first, and when she saw them, she smiled and said, "You guys are quite complete. Since when have you all been so free?"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said with a smile: "No matter how busy we are, we have to come and wait for you when we hear that my wife is back home! Otherwise, if you give your daughter-in-law small shoes to wear later, then I will die unjustly. "

"Our second grandma is so powerful, it's fine if you don't impress me, how dare I give you small shoes?" Xing joked with a smile.

Xueyan jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Daiyu down, and she hurriedly greeted everyone.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly left Xing Shi behind, and stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand: "Oh, I haven't seen you in half a year, my sister has really become more and more beautiful. Just now the old lady was talking about it, for fear that my sister would not come back after having a mother. Now, I said that my sister will not be so heartless, and will definitely come to pay her respects to the old lady."

Xing sighed: "You don't know, your sister is filial, but her wife is not a vegetarian, so I insisted on bringing her back, but I took all my efforts to snatch her away. Later I have to ask the old lady to give me a good reward. Is it easy for me to bring back her sweetheart?

? ”

A group of people talked and laughed and arrived at the main room.

Mother Jia was really very happy to see Daiyu, she held her in her arms and asked carefully, and then said to Mrs. Xing: "This time you have worked hard, and you look haggard a lot. I still have some excellent ones." For supplements, let the servant girl bring them to you later, and you can supplement them well."

Wang Shi, who was standing at the bottom, hated inwardly when she heard this, she glanced at Xing Shi's round and fair cheeks, wondering where she was haggard?Look younger than me!This person is also very strange. He obviously looked very old-fashioned before, but he has become younger and younger in the past few years...

After a while, Sanchun and Xue's mother and daughter who heard the news also came over one after another, as well as student Shi Xiangyun. The sisters were very happy to see Daiyu, and you kept asking me a question.Especially Daiyu will go to Huguang, which is farther than Jiangnan. Everyone is very envious and pesters her to ask questions.

Jia's mother was very happy to see her children and grandchildren gathered together, and then asked, "Why don't you see Lian'er coming?"

Xing hurriedly excused his cheap son: "He was called away by my uncle's people at the pier. It seemed that there was an urgent order, so I let him go."

Hearing this, Mother Jia asked again: "That time my uncle came to pay his respects, and he mentioned Lian'er and praised him full of praise, saying that he has grown up and sensible, and he has done a lot of credit for helping my uncle this time. It can be seen that the sky is open, and our family is finally here. It’s about to flourish.”

Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled and said: "No, I see that the house has become more and more prosperous since I visited my mother's relatives. It can be seen that this is all brought by my mother.

Fuze. "

As soon as she said this, everyone felt very embarrassed, and no one echoed for a while.

Xueyan sneered in her heart, how did the great contributions made by others thousands of miles away become the credit of Concubine Yuan?Even if you want to put gold on your face, you have to find a similar reason! I have never seen anything more cheeky than this.
