The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

After Si Qi bought some snacks along the way, she went back home and told Jia Yingchun. She handed the account book she got from Pan You'an to Jia Yingchun, and said: "My cousin said that the net profit earned this time should still be put in the bank. The name is still the girl’s usual name, but my cousin said, because it won’t make much money in the bank, and asked the girl if she would like to do some other business.”

"He will ask this question. He must have some plans in mind. Next time you go, tell him to take out 2 taels first. It doesn't matter what industry you are in. The important thing is that you must be safe and earn some income. It's just that He wants to do other things, so Jinxiufang needs to find someone to take care of it. In the past, the old shopkeeper helped to look after the shop, but now the old shopkeeper is gone, so he has done too many things by himself." Jia Yingchun said carefully Looking closely at the accounts one by one, she naturally saw the account of Pan You'an's cancellation of a large number of wooden and stone curtains. She only paid attention to it for a while and then skipped it. She didn't think the figure was too shocking. After all, this kind of price gouging This trick has always been a businessman's way of doing business, but she is not a good businessman, this cheapness is just because she knows the situation here in advance.

"Understood. In addition, the matter that I asked cousin Pan to inquire about last time has also come to fruition. Cousin Pan said that it is very easy to inquire about that Second Master Xiao. It is said that Second Master Xiao has practiced martial arts with a master since he was a child. He was 15 years old. That year, I took the initiative to ask Uncle Linchuan to go to the military camp for training. Uncle Linchuan used his relationship with the court to send him to the Habayashi Guard. Although the Hatabayashi Guard is in the suburbs of Beijing, Second Master Xiao has not been back several times in three years. At home, Mrs. Linchuan thought that he would suffer in the barracks, so she begged Linchuan to find a way to transfer him back. So a few years ago, she worked as an experienced officer in the Jingwei commander. He was also promoted to the palace, and there are not many children from the family who have contacts with him on weekdays, among them, the prince of Chengyi County and the second prince have the highest status." Si Qi nodded, and then talked about asking Pan You'an to investigate Xiao Yun earlier. The result of everyday actions.

"Then where does he usually go?" Jia Yingchun also heard these things from some people in the Linchuan uncle's mansion, and he never kept his relationship with the second prince from everyone. After all, the two are cousins. , it is impossible to have no friendship at all, and the prince of Chengyi County is said to have walked with them when he was studying.

"Almost always go horseback riding outside Beijing, and sometimes chat with friends in places like teahouses or restaurants, but I have never heard of going to those romantic places. My cousin said that the second master Xiao was also known as a devil king a few years ago. , but because he is looking for troubles are some children of aristocratic families who are used to bullying, so his reputation is quite good. Other than that, the evaluation can be regarded as quite self-respecting and self-disciplined, although it is not to say that he does not participate in the activities of dandies at all. But they won’t forget to sleep and eat and lose control like they do.” Siqi thought for a while, then continued.

"Oh... It sounds like a person who is close to perfection and has a sense of justice. It's just that such an excellent person has a higher vision and keeps a distance from people with a bad reputation like us? How could it be...?" Jia Yingchun After hearing this, she didn't feel much joy in her heart. She intuitively thought that even though Xiao Yun had no shortcomings, being close to the prince could not be regarded as a good thing.

"Speaking of which, I remember seeing His Highness the Second Prince a few times in the palace before. At that time, the Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, so I only heard that he was a mischievous and unreasonable master outside, but Strange to say, sometimes what he does seems absurd on the surface, but later people will always find out many inadequacies. It can be seen that he is not only doing things on a whim, but also that he is usually in the presence of his elders. The impression in our eyes is that although there are some naughty deeds, he is lively and good at speaking. He is neither gloomy like the eldest prince nor ignorant and ignorant like the third prince, so he is very pleased with the emperor and empress dowager. The empress dowager also said Empress Zhaoyuan is a mother who knows how to raise children, and she is also very sorry that the empress has not been able to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family these years." Nanny Zhou echoed.

"As far as I know about Uncle Linchuan's family these years, maybe it's because of Mrs. Zhaoyuan. Generally speaking, they work in a low-key manner, which is what Siqi said about what Xiao Erye did before. I only found out about those things today. The Linchuan uncle’s mansion has two or three more generations of inheritance than ours. Sometimes I think about how arrogant they behave. Last time Grandma Xiao was willing to come and explain those things to me It is already a big concession. If this kind of thing is changed to other people, who would be willing to sell their own family for a person who can't be reached? It's just that they are more embarrassing. " Jia Yingchun sighed helplessly.

"The people in the Linchuan uncle's mansion just want to express that they attach great importance to whether they can form this marriage. There is nothing wrong with it. After all, according to the girl's status as a concubine, the possibility of marrying the son-in-law is not very high. , but Second Master Xiao is the second son, so his status has been brought closer, but now the master has no title. Although he has a fourth-rank official position, in the capital, there are as many fourth-rank officials as cow hairs, and there is nothing outstanding at all. However, the master still has not changed his mind, which shows that he is sincere to the girl." Nanny Zhou analyzed slowly.

When Jia Yingchun heard what Nanny Zhou said, she felt a bit tolerant. The ancient society was not as open as modern society. Men and women could communicate with each other and send gifts to each other before they were married. Husband and wife have one space, but those who travel through the text seem to change the modern background to the ancient background. It doesn’t matter what you want, and how do you know that it is like Xiao Yun who insists on marrying a woman who has never met formally? , is already enough to attract people's attention, if he really ran to her to confess his love, he should be kicked out by Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian before he saw her, right?Jia Yingchun shook her head with a slight sigh, she thought that probably only those time-traveling women who couldn't figure it out would think that if their sweetheart didn't send flowers and gifts every day, he would be a scumbag, and if he yearned for three wives and four concubines, he would be unfaithful.

When Jia Yingchun thought of this, she suddenly felt funny again, did she really regard herself as an ancient person? !But thinking of some of her behaviors, she still felt that she was not old-fashioned enough, at least she still expected her future husband to be happy with her, so when she heard what Grandma Xiao blurted out that day, she couldn't help giving up.

After Jia Yingchun chuckled inexplicably, she said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things. Since my wife has already replied to Mrs. Linchuan to agree to see each other, let's talk about it after I see someone, right! Si Chess, have you heard Pan You'an mention something about the situation in the capital? For example, who is the name of the shops that sell the most wood, stones, flowers, furniture and decorations in the past few months?" Jia Yingchun suddenly asked Siqi.

"Hmm... ah! It seems that I heard him say that during this period of time, people with good vision have made a lot of money, but it seems that the people who make the most money should be the people in the palace. Sheep head, after next year, the emperor probably won't dare to say that he has no money to spend." Siqi frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly shouted, and said hastily.

"Is that really the case..." Jia Yingchun nodded solemnly.

Jia Yingchun thought that this might be the case, not only because she had the impression that there were many similar speculations in her previous life, but also because Mother Zhou told her that the treasury seemed to be empty. Little, how could the emperor kindly let the women in the harem go home to meet their families purely because of the family wish in the mouth of the two sages? .

As for the pity that the harem concubines can't see their natal family all the year round, anyway, there is a rule that they can be seen on February and Sixth. Others...is it necessary?Could it be that those empresses might not be able to get out if they didn't know before entering the palace?Especially women who become emperors, there are many things that need to be taboo, and since ancient times, hasn't the distinction between monarchs and ministers been emphasized?Women in the harem are also kings... so that the family members who are ministers and the ladies who are kings are as close as they were before they were married?Even ordinary people's married women can't do it, can they?There are also many etiquette rules that have been handed down since ancient times that have never cared about family relationships. If the emperor really wanted to, why didn't he just change those rules?

"Girl, you don't have to care too much about those things. It's best to remind Pan You'an not to always pay attention to things related to the palace. After all, some things are easy to do but hard to talk about. You are a girl from every family. If you get offended by something like this It might be very difficult to deal with." Mother Zhou knew that Jia Yingchun had already thought of something, but she didn't want Jia Yingchun to put her mind on it, because once such a thing happened, even the people in the harem would be afraid of it. I only dare to express my intentions but dare not say it clearly. Secondly, Jia Yingchun had no intention of entering the palace. If he did something that would easily attract the emperor's attention, the emperor might not have other ideas, so he had to speak out to persuade him.

"I know, but it's just a casual question. How can I not know what's good?" Jia Yingchun replied with a smile, and stopped talking about these things.

After Xiao Yun learned from his eldest brother that his sister-in-law accidentally expressed his feelings that he dared not express easily all these years, he always felt a sense of trepidation. When someone was sent there to convey the agreement to see each other, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. He thought that she would like to meet him, did she not reject his liking?Or... did she have other ideas?For example, refuse him in person? !As soon as this kind of thought came to mind, Xiao Yun immediately slapped it away. He thought that as long as they met, he would always have a way to persuade her.

After Xiao Yun was so anxious for a few days, he suddenly received a message from a friend, saying that his future father-in-law and brother-in-law often troubled someone recently. The eye-catching guy dared to covet his beloved woman, so he joined the ranks of wolf abuse without saying a word, and even the official department asked Situ Rui to come forward and let them not assign an official to Sun Shaozu. Of course, if that guy If he is willing to go to the northwest to eat the wind and sand, he doesn't mind sending him far away.
