The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

Jia Daishan had good ears and eyesight, so he didn't need to listen with his mind, and he heard the answer between his granddaughter and the prince.

He was very helpless.

He taught his granddaughter to behave in an upright manner, and that can't help a husband and wife, it can only depend on personal fate.

He is a man, so he naturally knows what women men like.

However, he would not be willing to let his granddaughter learn any charm technique, it was too wronged.

His granddaughter has the ability to measure the world, and if men don't like it, she has no vision and no luck.

But for a while, Jia Daishan opened up, believing that with his granddaughter's intelligence, he would naturally be able to find out the way to get along with the prince after getting in touch with the prince.

Laba is the New Year.

The relatives started to walk around, and the first thing was to give each other Laba porridge.

Rongfu received four servings of Laba porridge from the palace.

From the empress, prince, concubine Shu.

Xiaohuajing will also participate in the entertainment this year.

Her main task is to walk around the palace.

Xiao Huajing entered the palace in person and sent Laba porridge to Emperor Jiahe, the empress, the prince, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De.

In addition, Xiao Huajing gave the empress and concubine Shu a health wine brewed by herself - Duling's rice wine, which is most suitable for women's health.

In Concubine De's heart, Xiao Huajing is not her daughter-in-law, and has not yet entered the palace.

Therefore, there is no small flower essence in Laba porridge.

She is the birth mother of the prince, she can ignore the little flower essence, but the little flower essence cannot ignore her.

Concubine De didn't give gifts, and it made sense.

Emperor Jiahe and the Empress are Xiaohuajing's serious elders.

The little flower essence doesn't matter, as long as the empress pays attention to it.

Usually no food is given as a gift in the palace, for fear of being trapped by others.

For every serving of Laba porridge, the little flower essence should be eaten first.

The Queen and Concubine Shu are different.

Even if there was poison in the rice wine, they would only suspect that someone was setting the blame, not the little flower essence.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Xiaohuajing dared to send spirit wine to the two of them.

Xiao Huajing had lunch in Kunning Palace and left the palace, just after leaving the inner long street, turned to the east long street, and met the prince.

The prince came to pick a stab.

Seeing Xiao Huajing, he got off his horse, threw the reins to the guards, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of Xiao Huajing's car, and poked his head: "Gu listened to the report from the guards, you brought a few jars of good wine into the palace, the fragrance is fragrant, why didn't Gu see it? "

Xiao Huajing was about to get out of the car to salute, but was stopped by the prince: "You don't need to get out of the car, it's too cold outside, just tell the car."

Xiao Huajing saluted in the car: "Thank you, Prince.

Reporting back to the prince, what the courtiers brought into the palace was rice wine, which was the health wine for the daughters.

Your Highness's wine is not my gift, and the servants do not have the badges of the Prince's Mansion. The wine ministers of the Prince's Mansion have already prepared a total of twelve altars, all of which were given to my elder brother Jia Hu.

At this time, he should have been sent to Pingjun Wangfu. "

Jia Hu also did not have the right to enter and leave the Prince's Mansion casually.

The residence of the Prince's Mansion is all women's relatives.

Therefore, the things that the Rong Mansion gave to the crown prince were generally handed over by King Pingjun.

The crown prince was newly established, Zhan Shifu, Zuochunfang, and the Bureau of Economics and Economics were restarted.

These are institutions of power, equivalent to a small imperial court.

The crown prince can be regarded as a reliable employer, His Majesty canonized the Sixth Fu of the East Palace, the prince trusts him very much, and entrusts the Sixth Fu of the East Palace to open the house and build teeth.

In the name of inspection, the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River to make arrangements to seize money, and he was extremely busy.

Xiao Huajing didn't expect that now that the local governor and the envoys from foreign kingdoms come to the palace to pay homage, the prince still has the leisure to criticize.

The prince squinted: "You didn't prepare a gift for Gu?"

Xiao Huajing frowned: "How could it be, the health wine for His Highness is brewed by the minister's daughter herself.

Didn't you eat it?

That drink is the only one in the whole world, there is no other semicolon, even if you have money, you can't buy it. "

The prince pursed his lips.

Although the wine was brewed by Jia Yuan himself, he was not given to him alone.

Rong Mansion has it all over the place, and so does Shisan.

The prince couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Xiao Huajing now has a fine-grained control over other people's emotions, and she can tell at a glance that the prince is about to explode.

Xiao Hua had an idea, just in time she was going to go to the Guanyin Hall to have a look at the psychic gem before leaving the palace.

Baochai's golden locks came out, and she wanted to see what happened to the stolen jade.

Therefore, I brought out a set of men's clothes, and a pair of white jade crowns carved from Lingyu.

The jade crown is carved from Lingyu by Xiaohuajing.

The hollowed-out osmanthus flowers are connected in series, and a total of more than 36 small flowers form a jade crown.

At this time, I had to take it out as a gift.

Xiaohuajing was still a little bit reluctant.

However, being urged to ask for a gift, he didn't care, so he had to hand over the vermilion box containing the jade crown.

The prince actually inspected the goods on the spot, and he was immediately satisfied after seeing it: "Osmanthus crown.

Well, it happens to be the same set as the osmanthus flower hairpin that the king gave you.Too bad it's not yellow. "

This is helpless, she still has a sapphire crown, as green as bamboo, and full of brilliance.

Men generally don't like it.

Xiao Huajing looked at the prince with watery eyes, not knowing how to answer: You are asking too much!

The prince put away the gift box: "It's not bad that the meaning is integrated, next time pay attention to the same color."

Xiaohua's spirit stagnates, but she is a carved corolla.

Is the prince going to wear it out?

Xiaohuajing not only carved a corolla for herself, but also carved a corolla of white jade for Shuiying Baoyu.

Fortunately, Shuiying and Baoyu are all small ideas, so the prince should not care about them.

Xiao Huajing went out today with a light car, sitting in the warm sedan chair in the mansion.

I was going to go to the teahouse to have tea, and sneaked through the back door to the Guanyin Hall for inspection.

Being watched by the prince like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go.

The crown prince ordered the guards accompanying him: "You guys, send County Lord Danfeng back to the mansion."

The little flower essence can't be given away for nothing, so when they arrived at Rongning Street, they gave each of the two guards a jar of wine.

It was a reward from the Queen and Concubine Shu.

After Laba, everyone began to officially busy the New Year.

Relatives, neighbors and colleagues began to exchange gifts.

When the Wang family's boat arrived at Chaotianmen, it brought more than a dozen cartloads of gifts to Rongfu.

Except for Jiangnan soil instruments, most of them are imported products.

There are four clocks with a height of half a person, and two glass carved screens with a height of half a person.

The glittering gold pocket watch is 48 yuan.

Twelve boxes of colorful gemstones.

Then, Wang Ziteng gave Xiaohuajing 30 taels of silver notes.

Xiao Huajing was puzzled: "Is this a refund of the principal?"

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "This is the profit of a trip."

Xiaohuajing stared: "70 principal?"

Wang Ziteng said: "Yes or no, Yuan'er sold an ocean-going ship for 70 and 50, and your second uncle and I paid for the first labor cost.

For the remaining 20, we bought silk, porcelain and tea leaves to transport Fusang, which increased the profit by about five times.

However, every time the ship goes to sea, it needs to be overhauled.

Furthermore, there are dots along the sea.

After going ashore, the local officials have to be filial, and they have to leave a guarantee fee to deal with unexpected events.

The rest is the 30, all here. "

Xiao Huajing stared: "A trip?"

Wang Ziteng said: "We generally go overseas three times a year at most, and at least twice."

Xiao Huajing said: "I've heard a lot from my uncle, why haven't I heard about taxes? It's not good to be found out for tax evasion."

Wang Ziteng said: "It's just one out of thirty. Uncle will not be stingy with this little money."

Xiao Huajing said: "Principal?"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "Yes, I went in and out twice, but it's only two out of thirty."

Xiao Huajing suddenly remembered that she had seen the income of the Ministry of Households, and the annual commercial tax was less than 50.

But my uncle said that 70 yuan went out and made a net profit of 30 taels when I came back. Is it just pure profit?

Such a big profit?

The land is one out of ten.

Of course, the land tax is also very low.

One mu of land is only [-] catties of rice.

Seeing Xiao Huajing in a daze, Mrs. Wang knocked on the table: "Why don't you hurry up and thank uncle, why are you so dazed?"

Xiao Huajing got up to salute, and Wang Ziteng hurriedly got up to return the gift.

After Xiao Huajing took her seat, she couldn't help but feel a little curious: "May I ask Uncle, aren't those households who trade at sea worth tens of millions of taels of furniture?"

Wang Ziteng thought of the identity of this niece, his heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head: "How can it be, although maritime trade is very profitable, it cannot be ruthless.

Think about it, once you encounter sea waves, storms and pirates, you will lose everything.

Merchants encountered this situation, not only lost hundreds of thousands of ships and goods, but also compensated the sailors and guests on board.

This time, millions of taels were thrown out.

Even if there are no dead people, once the tea silk we transport is wet by sea water, it will become waste. "

Xiaohuajing nodded: "It is so.

No wonder Emperor Gao set up a tax of one out of thirty. "

Wang Ziteng wiped his sweat quietly.

This niece's mind is too sharp, talking about the income from sailing investment, it is related to Emperor Gao.

At this moment, Xiao Huajing withdrew her thoughts: "Uncle is busy, so hard work can't be in vain. For the principal of 20, niece and daughter can get the right money."

Wang Ziteng was busy waving his hands: "Your second uncle has a plan for these things, because this is just a business trip. When you run a few more times next year and earn more money, you will naturally be charged according to the rules."

After Wang Ziteng left, Jia Daishan talked to his granddaughter, "You scared your uncle today."

Xiao Huajing smiled: "After all, my uncle said eight times and ten times the profit, but Shibo only pays hundreds of thousands in taxes, so I'm naturally curious."

Jia Daishan said: "Well, sailing itself has a lot of capital and risks, and it is a navigation chart that was exchanged for life in the old life.

It is not like the salt tax, which is worthless, and there is no danger.

Therefore, the imperial court focused on cracking down on salt and tea tax evaders.

Although your uncle Hang Hai has a lot of profits, he is not the only one who dares to keep the money in his pocket.

He has to take it out for profit, and the palace also has to give it away, the Shibo Department has to give it away, and the six departments have to give it away.

You also need to purchase □□~ammunition~ammunition, build ships, train sailors, and prevent attacks from political enemies.

Nothing is possible without money.

The accident compensation he mentioned was also a large sum. "

Xiao Huajing said: "Granddaughter understands, she won't interfere blindly.

After all, the granddaughter's identity is sensitive, so it's better to ask these things first. "

Jia Daishan nodded: "Well, your uncle is of direct blood, so it is no problem for him to help you make money, and you will need money in the future.

However, with your mother, be careful.

Treating guests and giving gifts must not exceed 200 taels. "

Xiao Huajing frowned when she heard the words: "Grandfather, what do you mean, my mother violated the court's laws?"

Jia Daishan nodded: "You go in person, you have to remind your mother.

No amount of money can buy reputation and status.A gentleman loves money in a proper way.It is not easy for our family to have the situation we have today. "

Xiao Huajing knew that her grandfather had control over the mansion, so she would not aim at nothing.

After Xiao Huajing went back, she didn't ask her mother, but communicated with the daffodils in her room.

Sure enough, her mother took [-] silver from the Liu family, and promised to be drafted in March next year, to mediate for the daughter of the family, not to enter the prince's mansion, and wanted to stay in the concubine's palace in the palace as a female official.

Xiao Huajing figured it out, and just now she secretly found her mother, Mrs. Wang.

Between mother and daughter, Xiao Huajing didn't play tricks: "Mother, did you take money from the Liu family?"

Wang was stunned: "Why do you..."

Xiao Huajing said: "Grandfather has acquaintances in the General Administration Department, your information was intercepted by him.

Liu Yuchan's elder sister lost his father's job as the Minister of the Ministry of War because of the filthiness of the court, and was hated by His Majesty and the First Prince at the same time.

How dare you provoke me?

Not to mention that the Liu family is hated by the royal family, and not to mention the court's laws and regulations, the rule that officials should not exceed 200 taels of favors.

Who are you in the royal family, how dare you be the master of the royal family? "

Wang's mouth trembled: "You... Where's the Zhang family?"

Xiao Huajing frowned: "Zhang family, what's the matter with Zhang family?"

Wang's eyes turned red: "Don't pretend to be confused with me. You promised to mediate for the girl of the Zhang family, and you think I don't know? I'm not as good as an outsider?"

Xiaohuajing's face turned cold: "Who did you hear that from?"

Wang was immediately annoyed: "You don't care who said it, right?

You can help outsiders, but I can't help with my affairs? "

Xiao Huajing asked: "When did the Liu family become your family?"
