Daughter of the Red Chamber should be self-improvement

Because of the flood in the south, the imperial court issued a special announcement: In addition to stating that the imperial court would distribute [-] shi of grain and grass, it also quoted a few words from the memorial of Zhennan Wang Tong Sheng: Jiangnan is barren and unable to save itself.Therefore, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty are invited to contribute food and labor to the disaster area.

As soon as this article comes out, it is difficult for the world not to be in an uproar.All of a sudden, voices criticizing Zhennan King came and went.In the streets and alleys, everything is talked about.

Zhennan Wang Tong Sheng was furious, slapped the table, blew his beard and stared.He scolded everyone around him.All of a sudden, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the courtiers were all trembling, panting for breath.I'm afraid that one will accidentally get into trouble.

In the study, Zhennan Wang was discussing the matter with his eldest son Tong Bowen and his third son Tong Boyuan.From the shredded paper and broken pieces of porcelain all over the floor, one can imagine the mood of Zhennan Wang Tong Lie at this time.

"How dare Zhu Zi plot against me like this!" Tong Lie's anger still could not be appeased.Accustomed to the obedience of the court for decades, it is indeed a very uncomfortable thing to be challenged suddenly.

Tong Bowen is the oldest among the three sons-in-law, and he is also calmer.However, from a rich and honored background, and without any wind and rain, it is inevitable that there will be less smoke and fire to know the sufferings of the people.More lofty attitude.

Tong Bowen said: "It seems that that (the emperor) can't bear it anymore? Could it be that he wants to do something? But he granted our request again, is he trying to confuse us?"

The third child, Tong Boyuan, was young after all, and he didn't have those twists and turns in his stomach.The understanding is more straightforward: "I think the old emperor is just venting his personal anger. He just had a battle with the Xiongnu. Although the loss was not big, the commander was seriously injured. Look at those wine bags and rice bags. And the talent of a general who can be used? I thought that the old man was just holding back his anger and taking the opportunity to vent it."

Tong Sheng tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while and said: "The order will be passed down, and all parties will be on strict alert. In addition, the refugees will be arranged to enter the city, and the rich merchants in the city will be ordered to give porridge to the big Jiabu sheds; the palace will also arrange two porridge sheds." At the same time, dispatch soldiers to do a good job of maintaining order. To prevent civil uprisings. Besides, arrange some doctors, mainly to prevent epidemics." Tong Sheng obviously did not think so simple.Although it was obviously a mouthful of bad breath, it should be swallowed, right?

The two sons had to make arrangements separately.Looking out the window, Tong Sheng remembered the grandeur of the capital he saw when he came to Beijing, the grandeur at the feet of the emperor, and the limelight of the whole country congratulating him.I thought to myself: maybe it's time to go to the capital again.

The sky was fine at noon, but in the evening, there were snowflakes.It wasn't very big at the beginning, but it was just like viburnum in abundance.Fragmented and slow, it is like the brilliance of an actor who gently unfurls his wide sleeves.Rebirth is like a dream, who would have thought that the "two woods" in Lijia's mansion in the past would be the person behind the scenes of Lin's industry who planned and gave orders?It turns out that what everyone wants depends on his own struggle, not waiting.God is merciful and helps the world.But if you don't even want to stretch out your hand, how can you hold my Buddha's hand?Yingchun was sitting in a warm room, holding a book in her hands, but she didn't turn a few pages.

The door curtain outside slammed, carrying a chill.Then there was a crackling sound of slapping clothes, maybe it was slapping snowflakes.Yingchun thought about it.Then Siqi walked in, wearing a light green cocoon cotton jacket and a lake blue eight-panel pleated cotton skirt.

"Is it snowing heavily? I don't feel it in the house." Yingchun asked Siqi with a smile.

"That's not it, the sky was fine when I just went out. Who knows that it's big but not big, it's just tight." Siqi replied while standing.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. Is everything okay in the shop?" Yingchun first poured a cup of tea and handed it to Siqi.Since coming out of that mansion, Yingchun has treated Siqi like her own sister.

Playing chess is a duty, and I don't forget my identity because of this.Only serve Yingchun with all my heart and soul.At this time, he quickly took the tea from the master and thanked him earnestly.

Yingchun didn't bother to correct her.But with a smile, he accepted Siqi's thanks.

"Everything is normal in the shop. There is only a notice posted on the street today, saying that the south is suffering from severe floods, and wealthy households are required to contribute money and efforts. The shopkeepers are thinking that it is inevitable, so I ask the master to show you: see How much, what is the right way to play?" After Siqi finished speaking, he took a sip of hot tea.The usual inspections are not necessarily to welcome the Spring Festival, and sometimes Siqi is sent to see.The shopkeepers are all thinking about making more money now, so naturally they are very dedicated.Yingchun will naturally come to a leisurely end.

"Did shopkeeper Wu ever send someone to inquire about the situation of other people's homes?" Yingchun asked while drinking tea slowly, thinking about it.

"The announcement was just made today. Maybe everyone is thinking about it? I haven't heard that anyone has a specific way to come out." Siqi has become more and more sophisticated now, so naturally all of these can be thought of.He wouldn't be so stupid as to wait for the master to give an order before asking.

"Well, I know about this. Let me think about it first. In addition, let the shopkeepers also watch some other people's houses to see what everyone is doing." Yingchun put down the book in her hand, got up and walked to the window .

Siqi agreed to go.Yingchun shook her head and smiled: Just now I was thinking about leisure, so it's just a matter of time?It's just how to do this?Daiyu's mind was probably that she didn't want the Lin family's property to be too grandiose, after all, it was a big tree.So even though the Lin family's industry has unified the logo and store decoration.But it's one kind of thing, and those who don't know the big deal think that this one belongs to the same family, but they can't connect all of them.Therefore, if disaster relief is required, it may be carried out in the name of each store.

Murong Zhuo was also discussing disaster relief with Shui Rong, Tuobajin and others.It should be said that in this year of starvation or famine, it is common for wealthy households in cities or villages to set up huts to provide porridge.To put it bluntly: it is both for people and for oneself.If you leave it alone, these people will be in a hurry.It is also possible to rob big households.

It's just that this time is different, this time it's a sacred order.I'm afraid it won't work completely in accordance with the usual practice.It's too prominent and I don't know if it will work?As the saying goes: shoot the bird that stands out.It is not okay to be hated by others.Not to mention Murong Zhuo's embarrassment, wealthy businessmen and court officials are all troubled by this matter.If you lose face, you won’t be able to hold back a lot, and maybe the person above will have an opinion; if you add too much to attract attention, if you don’t want to make people question the source of your money, then you can’t steal chickens and lose a lot of rice. .Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for someone to be the first to stand up.It's good to have a reference, right?

Shui Rong smiled and said to Murong: "You have to ask elder brother about this." Because Shui Rong has been recovering from his injuries, even though the injuries are almost healed.But in the mother's eyes, even the slightest difference is not allowed.Therefore, the recent gatherings of the three of them are basically in the water-soluble study.

Tuobajin said: "This matter is that the one above wants to slap Zhennan King in the face, and it is also a warning. But disaster relief is also a real thing to do. After all, they are all citizens of Daxia. Murong's family is also one of the best in Daxia Dynasty I'm afraid everyone is looking at you."

Murong Zhuo immediately lost his composure.He stood up and said, "Then it means that I have to be taken advantage of?"

Shui Rong said: "Murong, you have something to offer, okay? Anyway, we are also the head of the Murong family business, the honorable second young master of the Murong family. Why do you want to donate some money like cutting your flesh?"

"It hurts more than cutting flesh! How lightly you said it, but I accumulated it bit by bit. I just love to hear the sound of banknotes in my ears. How do you drip it?" Murong Zhuo is true love Money, but what he can't stand the most is when people say he loves money.What happened to love money?How about living a life without money?As if he had lived before, there is a kind of person in the world who is called a born money fanatic!Although he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and has no worries about food and clothing, no one can stop the temptation of money to him.

"Yes, you can pay 3000 taels. If you don't have it, you probably won't be able to pass the test." Tuo Bojin simply put a price on Murong.

"What? 3000 taels?" Murong jumped up as if burning his tail.This was even more painful than cutting flesh, it almost killed Murong.

Shui Rong smiled unfriendly.Murong's fan was about to fall, but he finally held back.

"For the sake of your injury, I'll let you go this time. Hmph, what if there is a next time?" What if there is a next time?Can't beat others.Seeing Murong withdrawing his hand resentfully, Shui Rong rolled his eyes.

"Then how much do you all pay?" Murong asked unwillingly, he had to find a psychological balance.

"One year's salary?." Tuo Bojin said calmly.

"Ah? Oh." Murong Zhuo was unwilling to accept it.Later, I thought, forget it, people have invested all their wealth for a year, and they don’t know where to find money for food and drink, so why should we care about it?Then no longer care about.

On the second day, Murong Zhuo went to the official in charge of the matter at the Ministry of Rites to subscribe for the silver taels.Since we have to pay, we can do it in a hurry, the provincial people are always thinking about us, aren't they?It's more trouble for others, isn't it?

With the standard, it is easy to handle. The wealthy businessmen and merchants naturally thought about their status and ranking, and began to subscribe for silver taels in twos and threes.Naturally, Yingchun also subscribed for a matching share on behalf of the Lin family's shops.Naturally, this matter was also mentioned in detail in the correspondence with Daiyu.

But Jia's mansion made trouble for this matter.In the past few years, the family has been unable to make ends meet, and it has been a famine, just to support this shelf.Mrs. Wang began to worry after hearing what Jia Zheng said.My sister and her family moved out years ago.What's even more hateful is: he insisted on asking for 1000 taels of silver back by moving, and forced himself to write down an IOU for 5000 taels of silver.It's really a wolf-hearted dog!At that time, orphans and widows came to the door and didn't want to read it at all?It is true that the public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.At this moment, Mrs. Wang doesn't think that people give money every year, and this money is much higher than the price of renting a considerable yard outside.

Wang Xifeng has also learned to be smart in the past two years, pointing out that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, such as the reason that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, so she concentrates on raising her body in her yard.The ones in the garden were left alone.They are all white-eyed wolves!Mrs. Wang thought bitterly: Didn't the mansion circling around her like a lap dog when it was beautiful in those years?Now that there is no oil and water, just put oil on the soles of your feet-sneaking?

Mrs. Wang rubbed her temples, which ached from thinking about them, and looked at the gloomy sky outside, her mood became worse and worse.This old lady is also true, holding on to her few silver coins, and I don't know who to keep it for?

Seeing Mrs. Wang's complexion was not good, all the maids in the room didn't dare to cough.I'm afraid that I'll offend the house mistress again.Isn't the previous four children just an example, accidentally hit a teacup, who knew that Mrs. Wang was in a bad mood, and ended up being beaten half to death, and now she can't get out of bed.I'm afraid I'll be disabled if I'm fine.

"Jin Chuan, you can accompany me to the warehouse." Mrs. Wang thought: Master's face is important.Colleagues have all donated, so you can't lose face for the master.Besides, there is a hat of the Duke's Mansion there.I have to come up with something to pawn the pawn, let's go through this level first.How else can I let the master hang around in the officialdom?Don't talk about the master, I can't talk to this group of wives anymore.Still have to be laughed at to death?

Mrs. Wang rummaged through the storeroom for half a day, and finally she selected a few ancient paintings hidden by her ancestors, and a pair of large western vases with gold-threaded colorful figures.He ordered Jin Chuan to keep it in secret, and quietly pawned 1000 taels of silver the next day to finish the job.

Coincidentally, this painting was pawned in the shop managed by Yingchun.That day, Siqi accompanied Yingchun to inspect, and Yingchun recognized the paintings and the pair of Western porcelain vases at a glance. "Hehe, even the things left by the ancestors are pawned. Is the Jia family really going to come to an end?" Yingchun sneered in her heart: "It will be a matter of time for such a family, right?"

So, an order was given to the shopkeeper of the pawn shop: "If this family doesn't come to redeem, these things will be sent to me." Naturally, the shopkeeper complied.
