Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

"That's right, you are also from the fifth rank, and you have an official residence." Ai Ruo really didn't think about it, and nodded quickly, thinking it was very good.

Jia Zhu moved back to the official residence, which is very good for his official career.In fact, in any government office, petty officials account for the majority, not as later generations say, they have background, so they can walk sideways in the government office.Otherwise, why didn't Jia Zheng get promoted once every 20 years?Saying that he has no background or that he doesn't know how to curry favor with Shangguan?In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with.

It’s the same as practicing in a hospital in later generations, even if you are the director’s daughter, if you are ignorant, offend many people on weekdays, and if people don’t ask you for anything, passive resistance is actually enough for you to drink a pot .You can’t call the nurse, and the intern doctors are afraid that people will say that they are flattering the little princess, so they hide away, and then they wait for the sky to answer, the earth is not good, you have no grades, and the popularity is poor, even if the boss wants to help, In fact, it can't help.Of course, people in later generations are clever, and after entering the society and beating them once or twice, they will understand that as long as there is no stupid mother like Jia's mother in the family, basically all of them will be successful.

Ai Ruo is not a stupid woman, she really has seen too much, the little interns around her are really either Lord Hou or Lord, otherwise they would not be able to come to her side.Then the reality will slowly get rid of their edges and corners. What she can do is to report the truth when the parents call, tell them what the problem is, and you can solve the problem yourself.

When she got here, she did the same to Jia Zheng. When Jia Zheng went to the Hanlin Academy, they were all top-notch, and the humble scholars and the second generation had their own barriers, and they refused to give in to each other.Jia Zheng's life was not smooth that year, if it wasn't for the guidance of Lu Buqun, and Ai Ruo's friendship with the wives of the humble scholar, he really couldn't get through the most difficult moment at the beginning.

Later when Jia Zhu joined the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she repeatedly warned Xiao Liu not to look down on those colleagues, they were very helpful.In Jingzhong, she let them open a small door in the yard where they lived, and let them go in and out by themselves.in this way.People go to Jia Zhu directly from the side door, and they can eat wine and play money at will.It's necessary to be social.The Xiaoliu family will also take it easy and go to the gathering of the family members of the small official, and never dare to say that he is a wealthy family, or that he is a descendant of a famous family.This is a taboo in official circles.

Now that they are staying in the old Rongguo Mansion, the lions at the door are afraid to make friends with you. Why should they help you investigate cases and do things?Distance is sometimes useful.Sometimes it is also the tiger that keeps the helper at the door.

Thinking about it, she hurriedly looked at Xiaodai, her Xiaodai is also an official, so she should also have a dormitory, right?How nice it is to live in an official dormitory, and now Ai Ruo also feels that the benefits of living in Jijiu Mansion are coming. This is a government office, and the official system of the government office. For example, the maintenance of the houses here is managed by the state, and there is a sum of money for maintenance every year. Subsidies for some servants and the like.This is attached to following the official residence.But if you live in your own house, there is no such subsidy.Just like the public housing in later generations, even Zhou Rui's family smiled crookedly and said, I really don't know, there are such benefits.The official residence is not a gift, but the Rongguo Mansion is a gift, which was built by the state.personal.But the official house follows the official position, and you have the official position only if you have the official position.So no matter how shrewd Zhou Rui's family is, they don't understand the truth in the middle.

"Does Xiao Dai have an official house? If so, you should move out too. Such a big house, you can get money when you open the door. Keep your dowry for your children, so there is no need for your uncle to raise such a big house."

This is a word of conscience, even though they are borrowing, the expenses are still their own, so there is no need to say that Jia Hu, who is not around, will support them.If it's not done well, it's not cost-effective to have them hire Jia Hu to support these people.So think about it, if you build a small house by yourself, you are in charge of your own house, so hurry up.

Besides, Xiaodai's salary is very low, in fact, he still receives a monthly allowance, and the girls around him are also raised by the public, so he can take care of himself. Now that he is married, Ai Ruo suddenly wants Put a little pressure on him, if he can support his family, can he?

"Xiaodai is also a sixth rank, but there is a small courtyard behind the yamen. There are family members of small officials around, or let Xiaodai live with us, and my house has three entrances." Jia Zhu nodded, and Xiaodai was Just follow him to do business, and it is reasonable for brothers to live together.

The main reason is that my cousin knew that she came from a wealthy family and was full of talent. To be honest, it was a bit of a waste to marry Xiaodai.But for such a person, asking her to be a neighbor to Mrs. Xiaoli, wearing new clothes, and being spied on at home, not to mention Wang's cousin, even Xiaoliu's own family can't bear it.So hasten to say.

"Let them try to get in touch with the clerks. It will be good for them to live a few years of hardship." Ai Ruo wanted to nod. She was also afraid of interacting with the wives of the clerks. It was very tiring. Everyone had different lifestyles. , the values ​​are also different, being a neighbor is easy to drive people crazy, but looking at Wang Xifeng, she shook her head.

Wang Xifeng's biggest problem is that she thinks too highly of her own family, thinks of others too low, and even takes human life seriously. This is not the Wang Xifeng in the storybook, but the Wang Xifeng she knows now.Sometimes when listening to her talk about the law, she understood that this Wang Xifeng was too smart, and she actually belonged to the type who couldn't read.She was full of legal explanations, but what she thought about was how to exploit the loopholes in these laws.She didn't want to do anything, but she just wanted to try.A person who is too smart is really speechless.

But Ai Ruo didn't dare to stop her from studying, so now Jia Zhu told her to put this big bomb around the little official. This might be the only chance in her life, a chance to meet the market.She doesn't know the result, but she absolutely believes that this is not a bad thing.

Judging from my experience with the little officials' wives back then, these people definitely have the ability to drive people crazy, and they will definitely sneak around Wang Xifeng to do bad things, just like the old nun in Mantou'an, now Xiaodai's officials can She was still young, and everyone knew that he was not a prince, and Jia Zhu was always watching. She really wanted these people to grind Wang Xifeng's temper. At least, if she made a mistake at this time, it would only kill her alone.She didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Little official?" Wang Xifeng was about to go crazy when she heard it. She had never interacted with a small official since she was born. A small official was only fit to talk to their servants. Her aunt asked her to live among a group of small officials. Although he didn't dare to jump up immediately, he immediately looked at his husband.

Knowing that my aunt doesn't like me, she has always been unwilling to let me marry Xiaodai. If the old ancestor was not alive and could hold her down, I would never have married into this family by pointing at me in my life.

Seeing that the betrothal gift is good, it matches her dowry very well, which also shows that Ai Ruo treats Xiao Dai very well.Of course, she is very good at reverse thinking now, and immediately, this question made her angry again. The aunt’s dowry was not for her, but to show her attitude, and it was also a warning to her, don’t use her idea of ​​dowry as a marriage Xiao Dai, the Jia family is not as poor as you think.Therefore, my aunt treats her husband's nephew better than herself.

It's all right now, Wang Xifeng was really angry when she was asked to live with a group of petty officials, she stared at Xiao Dai and didn't speak.

Xiao Dai thinks about it, this is his habit, think about everything more, and then think clearly, he is really not biased because of Ai Ruo, he is just thinking.But the object was Wang Xifeng, and she became even angrier. People with a bad temper usually have no patience.Seeing that Xiaodai didn't speak, she thought it was because he refused to help her, so she stomped her feet, so she could only call her closest one here, because they are both members of the Wang family, and they should be on the same front.

"aunt!"

"Okay, okay, in front of these younger sisters, I'm not afraid of being ugly." Ai Ruo waited, and asked someone to take the little ones out, and stayed in the inner hall, Jia Zheng, Jia Yuan and his wife, Jia Zhu and his wife , Xiaodai and his wife, originally Jia Ying was going out too, but Ai Ruo deliberately stayed behind, she was going to get married too, she should listen.

"Here, the only person who doesn't have to deal with the wife of a petty official is Yuan'er. She has a bad life and doesn't have this opportunity. Others, including me in the past, I went to Zhou Hanlin's family in the Hanlin Academy for his first birthday; Liu Changshi's family in the Imperial Academy The old lady of Liu Changshi’s family was too big, and I went to kowtow and worship her. Zhou Hanlin was born as a poor scholar with no family background, and his house was not as big as our concierge; the old lady of Liu Changshi’s family was a serious rural old man. Ma'am, seeing us kowtow, I was too scared to speak..."

Wang Xifeng stared at her. She had never heard of these two people, but a poor Hanlin with no family background, the best place to go is to be released for three years, stay away for more than ten years, and see if there is a chance to return to Beijing. The official is the slaughter.But more, these people may not even have the money to give gifts, relying on their salaries, they have nothing but Qinggui.This is especially true for the Guozijian, because it is more difficult for them to be promoted than the Imperial Academy.My aunt treated these people with such courtesy, and kowtowed to an old lady from the countryside.She is the empress's best friend, apart from the royal family, who in the capital would dare to receive such a big gift from her?

"Aunt Ju feels that Auntie is useless because of being wronged? Do you think her status is too low?" Ai Ruo looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile.

Wang Xifeng is still a little afraid of her aunt. As a result of being stared at since she was a child, even if she was so angry just now, she didn't dare to lose her temper with Ai Ruo. Looking at everyone, she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "My aunt is too reluctant."

"Actually, you want to say that I have fallen into the prestige of Jia and Wang's family. Even if such a family sends a woman, it is giving them face, isn't it?" Ai Ruo laughed.

Wang Xifeng didn't smile, just stared at her, she wondered why.

"What are the identities of the Jia and Wang families?" Ai Ruo stared at Wang Xifeng with a flash of his eyes, "Your father is a small doctor, a fifth-rank official, and a sixth-rank official that your husband bought with money. Compared with his status, you really Is it better than others? If it weren't for the ability of our ancestors, how can we be better?"
