Daisy in the Red Chamber

Chapter 19 A Letter From Ama

The matter of the minister's donation made Rongning and Ningfu a little bit heartbroken. The ministers who can assume high positions all have some family background, but Jia pardoned Jia Zheng's generation. The plaque is long overdue for replacement.An idle general of the fourth rank, and a head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth rank.However, there is still a Jia Gui in the harem, for the sake of her face, she still has to bleed profusely.

"Looking at it this way, the first room will give 5 taels, and the second room will also give 5 taels." Jia Mu thought about it and made the distribution, "Isn't Lian'er still got the money that my uncle gave him? In this way, the eldest room out……"

"Old lady, Lian'er didn't bring any money back." Without Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing was at a disadvantage in the struggle with Mrs. Wang, but barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Sometimes she is more open-minded than Mrs. Wang I have to lose face, so that Mrs. Wang will not be able to step down, "Besides, the second room has been in charge of the general ledger, and there is only a little money left in the general ledger. Everyone knows what's going on." Mrs. Xing glanced at Mrs. Wang meaningfully. , "I have been trying to check the accounts thoroughly for the past few days, but I have always been stopped by my younger siblings."

"Sister-in-law said this. The accounts of the general ledger are all there. Didn't sister-in-law check them all? If she didn't find any problems, she said that I was hindering you? What does sister-in-law mean? Yes, with shallow eyelids, I haven't seen anything."

Small door and small household, these four words touched Madam Xing's pain. The only thing she can't compare to Madam Wang is her background. At that time, she married into Rongguo Duke's mansion as a stepmother, which was a great honor for the Xing family. Said she was high.So it is logical that he cannot get the power of the housekeeper, and now he has no children, and even has no status.

"Fortunately, my brother and sister reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten that my brother and sister have a generous dowry. It happens that I can give more to show the family background of my brother and sister. I am from a small family, but I can't give much money." Mrs. Xing took a deep breath and refuted Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback. Mrs. Xing had never collided with her head-on like this before. Mrs. Wang was a little confused about the situation for a while. "Old lady, the big house has no money and no power, and I can't help you with donating money. My siblings have money and power, so I can only rely on her."

These outrageous words made Jia Mu frowned, and Mrs. Wang held her breath, unable to speak for a long time.

"No matter what, it's the Rongguo Mansion's business, and it's the boss's business to seize the title." Mother Jia took a deep breath and said something against her will.

"Oh? Then why did the eldest master live in the outer courtyard, while the second bedroom lived in Rongxi hall?" Mrs. Xing smiled, "Old lady, no matter how you look at it, this is wrong. Even a small family can tell the difference .”

"The boss's position is at the fourth rank. This money cannot be missed. His money can't be taken from the general ledger."

"So, I discussed it with the elder, and 1 taels is already the limit. Besides, it's only a fourth grade." Mrs. Xing's smile became brighter and brighter, which set off Jiamu's complexion even worse.

"So, I..."

"What about the face of the empress in the palace? There has been news in the palace that if someone donates a lot, the emperor will give him a place. 10 taels is not enough." Jia Mu interrupted Wang's words, she I feel that Wang's contribution will only be less than 1 taels. After all, Jia Zheng's official position is lower than Jia She, so he shouldn't be more than Jia She, and according to etiquette, he shouldn't surpass his elder brother.

The sentence "Niang Niang" directly hit Mrs. Wang's weakness, and her attitude softened immediately. That is her daughter, and she is her hope of earning her destiny. Naturally, she will help if she can, so that she can help better in the future. To help Baoyu earn a good future and a good official position.

"So, I'll take out 3 taels." Mrs. Wang shook her head, as if poking her with a knife.

Mother Jia sighed, then looked at Mrs. Xing again, "Your Majesty..."

"It's only 1 taels, and it's already been sent up in the name of the Grand Master."

"You!" Mother Jia couldn't control it completely, and Rongguo's mansion was divided into two people to send it up?Doesn't this indicate that the first room and the second room are going to be separated?She is still there, and she is about to separate?It's really getting bolder.

"The old lady is tired too, my daughter-in-law is resigning." Mrs. Xing walked out with her head held high. Yes, the family is going to be separated. No matter what, the Rongguo Mansion should belong to the Grand Master, and the general account here will be in charge of herself.Thinking of the days to come, Mrs. Xing is in a state of mind and body.

A donation completely intensified the conflict. Although Jia's mother wanted to suppress it, she became more and more powerless.

The news was passed to Daiyu by Lin Yun, and Daiyu was not surprised at all, "Second sister-in-law, how about you?"

"Of course I'm helping my mother-in-law." Wang Xifeng's mood has calmed down a lot after eating fast and reciting Buddha these days, and she doesn't look so aggressive anymore.

"It's good that the second sister-in-law understands."

"I knew it would have been ten days earlier." Wang Xifeng was a little annoyed. It would be better to go back after the separation, so that she wouldn't have to suffer from Mrs. Wang's noise.Maybe she even moved her uncle to be a rescuer.

"Actually, it's not that easy to separate families." Daiyu shook her head, "Grandmother is still here."

Wang Xifeng lowered his head, thoughtful.Daiyu didn't bother her, and found an excuse to leave the room, Lin Yun followed behind, "Miss, Master has a letter."

"Ama?" Daiyu took the letter and read it carefully. Regardless of the overall situation in Jiangnan, the situation in Yangzhou is completely under control. What Lin Ruhai is doing now is to use the account book Daiyu gave him to secretly track down People after the breach of the embankment.Dikes that cut corners were the culprits of the disaster.Lin Ruhai also wrote in his heart that he would be careful and told Daiyu not to worry.

How can you not worry?Daiyu shook her head and continued to read, reminding herself that the Tong family is somewhat sincere, but guarding against others is indispensable, Tong Wanrong is not such an easy person to get along with, she is very thoughtful.And the fourth elder brother should be kept at a respectful distance. His life experience is too tortuous, and too much is involved behind it.Lin Ruhai didn't write it clearly, but Daiyu did.Yinzhen's embarrassing position, his loneliness in his youth, his somewhat weird and indifferent personality.

After reading the letter, Daiyu put it away close to her, and walked to the table, thinking about replying to Lin Ruhai, but she didn't know what to write. Amma already knew the matter.After thinking about it, the Xue family?Jia Yucun, who disregards human life, try to stop it.

After the letter was written, it was naturally handed over to Lin Yun.

But Wang Xifeng suddenly came to look for her, "My sister reminded me of something, I want to take advantage of the good weather today to go and see. How about my sister?"

"Okay." Just to check whether my guess is correct.
