Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Jin Yao never doubted the authenticity of her mother's words, so she couldn't help but sit up straight:

"What did sister-in-law do?"

"She, she didn't learn the real skills, but listened to other people's suggestion to set up some underground bank. She thinks that the money comes quickly!"

"..."

Jinyao, who came from a later generation, knows more about this underground bank than Mrs. Jia. Of course, this refers to its harm.

The imperial court does not allow family members of officials to lend usury, nor does it allow people to set up private lending places, which is what they call "underground money houses", including gambling and casinos.

There are mixed opinions among the people on underground banks. In real difficult situations, underground banks can really help in emergencies, especially ordinary people who are in urgent need of turnover or money to save their lives.

At that time, they must have been grateful that such a place could save their lives.

But it's not so wonderful when it comes to paying back the money.

Few people can afford the high interest, especially ordinary people who don't have many sources of income, who have to sell their children, their wives are separated, and there are many complaints.

There are many people who have lost their lives or even destroyed their families because of this, so few people in families who really care about their reputation do such things.

Jin Yao frowned:

"Why did you do this? Mother didn't tell her?"

"How do you say it? It's not that you don't know that your sister-in-law talks about 'the stepmother just doesn't treat people with sincerity and sweetheart' all day long. If she says it, people will suspect her because I don't want to see her. I have that spare time? "

Jin Yao secretly sighed:

"Even if the mother is not for the sister-in-law, she has to consider for the elder brothers. There is no division of the family. If there is a mistake, the whole family will bear it."

"I can't let her affect you three brothers and sisters, and make people stare at her. Once she does it, she will use this reason to divide the family! You two elder brothers don't need to rely on your father's name to be able to stand up It's cheaper to separate."

Jinyao shook her head, splitting up, she didn't object, but she didn't want her elder brother to get stuck in the mud.

After thinking about it, he persuaded:

"If we are not short of money, why don't we just bring them a share, so as to save them from making ugly things for the money, and mother's face will be ugly." Mrs. Rong Guo, the richest lady in the Qing Dynasty, let The stepson and daughter-in-law open an underground bank to make money!

Mrs. Jia sneered:

"We are not short of money, but that is what we have earned so hard. How can we take advantage of them for nothing? I have raised him since he was a child, and I have never treated him harshly, and it's just that he has not enjoyed his filial piety. Now he is over 30 Do you still want me to take care of someone? To put it bluntly, even if I give this money to beggars on the side of the road, I won’t give it to them for nothing. If I give it to a beggar, they will be grateful, and if I give it to them, they will only feel that they deserve it!” She said No matter, who dares to say anything in front of her, she can use the money she earns as she wants, can't it be used for her children, grandsons, and grandchildren?give them?

It's rare to see her mother complain about her grievances, Jinyao felt distressed and coaxed her:

"What mother said is that we can spend the money we earn on whoever we want, and we won't give it to anyone we don't want!"

Mrs. Jia was laughed at by her daughter, and she was very worried. After all, she was her own. She knew how to love her, and knew how to be filial.

"Okay, why are you so angry, mother? If you really want to be angry, you would have died of anger long ago!"

Jin Yao hugged her arm, leaning her face on her shoulder:

"Our brothers and sisters are all grown up, don't hold back your discomfort if you have any grievances, mother, tell us and we can help you!"

"With you three brothers and sisters here, no matter how big the grievances of mother are, there is only joy left!"

"Hee hee, mother finally admitted that she would be happy to see third brother, right?"

Mrs. Jia laughed angrily at her:

"It's all mischievous, I can't look down on him anymore, he is also the meat that fell from my body, so I am more proud than others."

"Mother is right, come and try to use your proud son's method to make tools and dim sum. The taste is just different from others!"

Mrs. Jia took a taste of it and nodded:

"It's really good!" The mother and daughter talked again on this topic.

The mother and daughter had a lot to say, and a day passed without knowing it, and when they left, Jinyao was reluctant:

"If you don't want to stay here, mother, the yards on the left and right are very big, and there are plenty of places."

Mrs. Jia is also reluctant, but she will never stay:

"My home is not far from here. I will come back in a few days. How can I stay here?"

Fourth master is also staying on the sidelines:

"Madam stays here so that I can spend more time with Jin'er. It's rare for her to be so happy."

"It's not like I'm leaving right away. I don't know how long I'll be staying in Beijing this time. If I have time to spend with each other, I don't need to be in such a hurry!"

Knowing that she couldn't keep it, Jinyao didn't force her to stay, and only told her to be careful on the road.

Going back, Jinyao lay on the kang, looking at the annual gift list brought by her mother.

It's another thick book, including everything you can think of to eat, wear, use, and play.

Fourth master glanced at him a little embarrassed, what kind of gift should I return?Headache!

How about saying that misfortunes never come singly, but good things come in pairs?

Not only outside the palace, but also in the palace just after the New Year this year, two palace people spread good news.

The emperor is naturally very happy, this proves that he is still in the prime of life, and he is still in his prime!The two palace servants were rewarded heavily, and for a while, the two of them had the same limelight, most of the palace attendants were trying to curry favor with the two upstarts, but they suppressed the limelight of Yungui, who just gave birth to a 23-year-old brother.

Others can do it, but the person involved, Yungui, has to be in a hurry.

Concubinely raised a few words with the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine persuaded her that with the little elder brother around, she shouldn't focus on such things, and it should be serious to keep a low profile.

Mrs. Yun did not quite agree with this view, and it was not easy to refute the imperial concubine, so she was only anxious in her heart.

23 Elder brother is hugged by the imperial concubine's side. She only assumes the role of biological mother. In fact, she has little to do with her. Right now, she can't count on him.

If there is no more grace...Your Yun is a bit unacceptable.

What should I think of?

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, it's time to prepare a decent New Year gift for Eunuch Li!"

Mr. Yun said to the confidant maid beside him.

The maid was a little embarrassed.

Yun Guiren didn't wait for a long time to reply, and looked at her suspiciously.

The maid thought for a while and said:

"My lord, we don't have much money, how much money do you want to prepare?"

Mr. Yun was stunned:

"Not much? How much is left?"

"The expenses in the past few months have been relatively high, and with the reward from the emperor, there are now less than 200 taels left."

The nobleman raised his eyebrows:

"So little? Little Eunuch Fang didn't bring you any money?"

"No, little Eunuch Fang hasn't come to our place for almost three months, why not... the slave will ask him tomorrow?"

Only then did Mr. Yun recall, for whom did the little Eunuch Fang send the money, and he was a little stunned for a moment.

"Don't ask him, I know, I will find a way."

The palace lady swallowed the "what can you do", and nodded.

Let's not mention how Yungui raised money for the time being, but Jinyao discovered a strange thing today, you will never guess it.

It turned out that when she saw Ning Chuge making troubles and mischief everywhere, she thought that this girl would be three years old soon, and it was time for enlightenment, so she asked someone to take a pen and paper, and wanted to teach her to write.

I don't think this girl can't sit still at all, and even more impatient to listen to Jinyao's teachings, she took the opportunity and ran away, bullying Jinyao's body so that she couldn't catch up with her.

Jin Yao was so angry that tears almost fell down.

The fourth master who just came back coughed softly, covering the smile on his lips with his fist.

When Jinyao saw him, she found the culprit, and stared at him angrily:

"Are you still laughing? Isn't this girl so naughty because you are used to it? Look at her, she has become a wild girl now. At this age, she still refuses to learn anything, only knows to be naughty!"

"The child is still young, just teach it slowly, don't be in a hurry, besides, are you really angry with her?"

"Why aren't you angry? My third brother and I were able to memorize the Three Character Classic when she was her age, and when our fingers have strength, we start to draw red with a pen!"

"Okay, I'll teach her slowly when I have time, so don't worry about it, think about if there is anything you want to eat, and ask the chef to go down and prepare it."

Jin Yao was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Fourth Master.

When she is a pig, she knows how to eat all day long!

The fourth master has long been used to the temper of pregnant people, so he coaxed her a few words in a nice voice, and said something else to divert her attention.

Jin Yao, who was overwhelmed with anger, returned to her stubborn temper.

Didn't you say that you are tired of writing and don't want to write?

That's fine, can you endorse the head office?

So I took the "Three Character Classic" and began to teach her to read sentence by sentence.

Seeing that Jinyao really put her face down, Ning Chuge was also a little scared.

Usually, although her mother loves her, she will teach her a lesson, no more than her Ama, who will respond to her every request.

At this time, he obediently read along with each sentence, but those big eyes turned straight, obviously not paying attention.

Jinyao was very powerless after seeing it.

Fourth master suppressed a smile:

"Don't worry, she is only a few years old, she can always learn if you teach slowly."

Jin Yao saw the similar expressions of their father and daughter and was speechless.

At this moment, Hongzhi, who was watching the excitement, said:

"People, of, and at the beginning..."

Although he jumped out word by word, his articulate words were not the most important thing. The most important thing was that he actually memorized all, all, and everything that Jinyao had just read!

Both Jinyao and Fourth Master were stunned and looked straight at Hongzhi.

After Hongzhi finished reciting, he didn't see Erniang praising him. He thought that what he had recited was not enough, so he recited it all over again, which really surprised the parents.

Fourth Master lifted him up in front of him:

"Good Hongzhi, tell Ama, how did you know it? Who taught you?"

Hongzhi happily pointed at Jinyao:

"Uh, mother, teach me!"

Fourth Master looked at the surprised Jinyao, Jinyao shook her head:

"I never taught him before!"

"Taught it, just now!"

"You mean you learned it when Er Niang taught your sister just now?"

Hongzhi nodded seriously:

"Is Hongzhi reading well?"

"Of course, Erniang's Hongzhi is the best!" Jin Yao praised generously.

Hongzhi was happy, Ning Chuge was a little unhappy, and pouted, but at this time Jinyao and Fourth Master were all focused on Hongzhi, and they didn't see her dissatisfaction.

Fourth master was so excited that his heart was beating non-stop:

"Hongzhi, would you like to listen to Ama teach you how to read poetry?"

"Will you praise Hongzhi after reading it?"

"After reading it, I will naturally praise Hongzhi."

"it is good!"

Fourth master chose the five-character law of enlightenment, one sentence at a time, and slowly taught Hongzhi to read it.

Then I witnessed a miracle, Hong Zhi, who was not yet two years old, actually took it seriously and memorized it word by word!

Fourth master was so excited that his eyes were wet, he gently hugged Hongzhi in his arms, speechless.

Hongzhi was still young and didn't understand, but he was a little unhappy when Amah praised him, and Jinyao hurriedly praised him for Fourth Master, which made him happy.

Fourth Master was so happy that he was about to say something, but Ning Chuge was dissatisfied, and ran over to hug Fourth Master's leg:

"Ama, Ningchuge wants to hug me too!"

Fourth master bent down and freed up a hand, and hugged her up, feeling extremely satisfied at this moment.
