All-round way to money

"It's all my fault. I don't know how to do things. I made you sad. I thought, my wife's things belong to our house, and the house can use it as needed. It's not for someone else's house. Uncles and aunts have always been If it hurts me, it can still trick me. I didn't expect to cause so many troubles..."

Chu Ran sat in front of Jia Mu's bed, crying so much.

She felt that the recent tears were really not a waste at all, and they all found uses.

I was crying more and more out of breath, wishing I could get over it.

Jiamu struggled to hold her hand, "How old are you? What happened to you? It's your fault. It's the ones with black hearts and rotten stomachs. I wonder if I don't know her plan. As long as I live, I won’t let anyone trick you into…”

Chu Ran couldn't answer these words, "There is no calculation. The second aunt is also for the mother, just like you are for my mother's heart, it is the same. It is all caused by my inability to handle things. The second aunt My sister-in-law told me, and I just realized that the dowry cannot be sent back... I really know I was wrong, and I must learn from you in the future. Don't be angry again, okay? If I get angry, I will sin even more... "

Don't worry about what Mrs. Wang thinks in her heart, she has to admit Churan's love, "Oh, you should understand my son. It's our mother who has thought of two things. No matter how confused I am, I will There is no reason to worry about my aunt's dowry. Old lady, I did an errand, so you can punish me, so don't be angry. The empress knows, and she will also miss it."

I am the mother of the empress, even if you are so angry, you have to think about the reputation of the empress, so don't count on each other, you will be beaten and killed.Just bear with it.

Mother Jia has been the mistress of the house for decades, do you know that if the second daughter-in-law has someone to rely on, and relying on her status as the birth mother of the empress, do you know that she can't do anything to her?This is what makes her most angry.

Others were also persuading her. The overall meaning was that Miss Lin was young and had no parents to teach her. It is understandable that she misunderstood, misunderstood, and did something wrong. The second wife did not explain the meaning clearly. Not a big mistake either.

It's Heximu.It's like a mirror in my heart, as long as the empress is around for a day, the second wife's position in the mansion will be secure.No matter how much the old lady loves her granddaughter, it is useless.

Doesn't Mother Jia know this truth?Let the daughter-in-law hold it, no matter how awkward she feels, she will have to swallow this fly.More or less in my heart, I also felt a little displeased with Chu Ran, I was too stunned, how could I do things like this.

But what can I do? It's not a lie that she loves Sister Lin.

Afterwards, Chu Ranzhen expressed that she knew that mistakes could be corrected, and asked Jia Mu what to do with some housework and mundane chores, which made Jia Mu find the happy time when she was the head of the house from these things. , but seriously taught some, and incidentally, I don’t know how many times, recalling the grand occasion of the Hou Mansion.When people are old, they just like to recall the past.It's just that the spirit is short after all, and it can't be taught too carefully, so Chu Ran can only ask Wang Xifeng if there is anything he doesn't understand.When she meets people, she feels that her granddaughter is finally a branch worker, and she knows how to care about how to live, so she has nothing to worry about.If you come and go again and again, you will forget the dissatisfaction with the previous idea.

As for Chu Ran, she was coaxing the old lady.While studying medical books and recipes.Except to see the old lady, I don't go out of the yard in leisure time.Then there are the first and fifteenth graders, who go back to the garden to offer incense to their parents.In the past, the courtyard hadn't crossed the bright road, so it was not easy for her to go out.Now that I have passed the Ming Road, and I go out to offer incense to my parents, no one can say anything.

Also because of the dowry, the girls were very delicate and careful, and they didn't let her come in the yard easily.At the beginning, Jia Baoyu wished he could come to the courtyard and knock on the door every day. Chu Ran told Lin Ping's family that he locked the door and wouldn't let him in.This person is enough to put eye drops on Mrs. Wang, if she is still sister Lin at this moment, she is tired of being with Jia Baoyu every day, and can drive Mrs. Wang to death.How Jia Baoyu lost his mind, how he complained, how he acted, how sister Lin ignored him, Chu Ran didn't hear it.But I met him in Jiamu's yard. He was rolling all over the floor, throwing jade, bumping into the wall, crying, making trouble, and hanged himself. Jiamu came to persuade her. He refused on the grounds that the filial piety period has not passed, and he should keep his filial piety with peace of mind, and it is not fun.

No matter what you say, how you make trouble, how you persuade me, I just want to be a filial daughter.Whoever likes to say what to say.

Then I saw the sky, what delicious food I made, what new food I researched, and the whole family sent it to the yard one by one.I didn't lose my manners, don't say I'm high-minded and ignore people, let's get it over with.

She can't handle things outside the house by herself, and it's not something to be in a hurry, and she has to wait slowly.Lin Chengda and his old housekeeper have already entered Beijing.Everything in Jiangnan has been dealt with.Chu Ran felt more relieved when the old couple from the housekeeper came.There is a nanny watching inside, and Lin Cheng watching outside, so it's unmistakable.

Chu Ran's idea is also simple, that is, to use the colander-like mouth of the servants in Ning Rong's second mansion to spread to her the matter of how the mother-in-law plotted against her as an orphan.The four princes and eight princes are old nobles, and they are not in the same camp as the current emperor. This world is not only the Ningrong Second Mansion, the outside world is big.Such a big handle is specially given to the new rich.There are also the ears of the natal families of other concubines in the palace, and the ears of the people in Cheng Enhou's mansion.We have to let them know that someone has given Uncle Guo's money.

This ancient society is really cruel to women.It is said that orphans and widows cannot keep their family business.Chu Ran didn't have such a deep understanding before, but this time he really understood it.If it weren't for the housekeeper Lin's family, she would be left alone, with a snow goose and a mother Wang, how many family properties would have to be taken away?Before, she thought about buying Zhuangzi Land, so it would be better to collect rent for a living.I've stopped thinking about it now.What to buy, where is the land around the capital that is good, and which one is not from the rich and powerful?Even if you bought it, you were spotted and snatched away by force, so what can you do?There is no way to appeal, and she is talking about her current situation.

The most stable thing is to guard the 10,000+ taels of silver from the seller's property, live an honest life, open at most two small shops, and maintain daily life.As for the 300 taels stolen from Jia Lian on the ship who were bewildered by drugs, they definitely could not be used.Taking it out is a disaster.

The more low-key, the better.

There is a saying in the officialdom that tells people to leave the tea cold.That's the truth.Has the power to be appointed and used, and it will not wait until the expiration date.

But Lin Ruhai's situation is different.The Yangzhou Salt Tour Envoy is in charge of [-] to [-]% of the entire world's salt tax.People who are not absolutely trusted by the emperor, can they do better?Moreover, he died in office.Regardless of whether he died of illness or how, he died in office after all. I have to say that I died for the emperor, so I can't say it's wrong.

So, whether it's a colleague, a boss or a subordinate, if he's dead, anyone can say that it's time to leave the tea. Seeing the orphan girl he left behind being bullied and ignored, at most he will be scolded for seeing death. Does not affect anything else.

Even the emperor, this cup of tea, whether he wants to drink it or not, he has to hold it, and he can't let it cool down.Oh, I was exhausted and died in office, and then no one cares about my children?Then what will I give you?If the officials and courtiers think so, then the emperor's throne will be burnt.Or why are there so many people who mourn after death in history?Which one is not made for living people to see.

What's more, Sister Lin is an orphan girl, a little girl who is not in good health, how stupid is the emperor to watch her being bullied?

Don't think that the emperor will not receive the news.The styles of clothing are all made in the Ming Dynasty, and the background is also more like that of the Ming Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, there were not only princes and princes with foreign surnames, but there were also Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory, and there were many people with six doors and eight doors.Can there be no spies in a mansion of the level of four princes and eight princes?

Coupled with the Lin family's intentional guidance and publicity outside, it's no wonder the emperor didn't know.

Chu Ran waited until the emperor knew. As for how to deal with it, the emperor had to find an opportunity.This is really no rush.

What she didn't know was that there was Prince Yizhong's Mansion on Wangfu Street not far from the imperial city, which was connected to several palaces.This Prince Yizhong is the younger brother of the current Emperor and Prince Shunzhong. He was weak and sick since he was a child, and he almost couldn't survive a serious illness when he was seven years old.Afterwards, she has been sick and crooked, until she has grown up.Because of the love of his parents, the care of his elder brother, and no threat to the imperial power, he has always had good food and fun, and lives as he pleases. He is also the most chivalrous person, and he must deal with injustice when he sees it.Because they are all fun and used to messing around, they have a very good relationship with King Beijing.Throw your temper.

At this moment, this Prince Yizhong, when he heard the guards talking about the Jia family, he immediately patted the table. "There is no bully like that. I will go to the palace to tell Brother Huang and let the girl surnamed Lin make the decision."

The guard was out drinking with his friends when he was in Xiumu, and he heard about the things in Jia's mansion. He usually followed the prince, and often contacted the king of Beijing Jing. He knew that the brother who was born in Jia's mansion was very important Always talking about it.This incident happened to be done by that brother's mother-in-law. When she came back to work, why not just tell the prince a story.

"What are you doing? Why are you meddling with other people's family affairs? Did the girl sue the yamen, or did the Jia family knock on the drum? Please calm me down." The emperor scolded him first, and then Let the servant take the ancient painting I just got, "I just got it, take it back and play with it."

Give a stick to a sweet date and rub the person out.

The little prince couldn't be more angry.The emperor does not make decisions, he does it.After all, Jia's family is the noble concubine's natal family, he still knows the importance, he doesn't look at Jia's house, only looks at the face of the noble concubine, he can't go and smash it.But he can support the Lin family.Didn't you think that the Lin family didn't have anyone to support you before you dared to bully them?He just needs to back him up, let's see who dares to bully.

"Who? Who wants to cooperate with our family?"

No, the steward of Prince Yizhong's mansion found an excuse to get Lin Ping in touch.Those who come and go, say they want to do business in partnership, he pays the capital, and the Lin family is responsible for the management.This is the meaning of supporting the Lin family in disguise and being a backer for the Lin family.They have good reasons, they said that they came to the door because the Lin family had recovered their good status and refused to abandon the old master.

That being said, who is Lin Cheng, who has followed Lin Ruhai for decades, and has never seen anything before, so he has to believe it.No, Mammy came to send it to the oven just after it was typed out, so she mentioned it to Chu Ran.

Chu Ran was stunned when he heard the name Prince Yizhong.

Definitely not in the book.Not everyone could use the word Yi during the Kangxi-Yonggan period.The author of the book is involved with Prince Yi at home, so it is impossible for him to use this word directly, and it is still the title of the prince. Do you want to live?The last time I walked through the Red Mansion, it was the regent and the overlord, both of whom came out.There is no Prince Yizhong either.

what's the situation?Don't you want to go through the plot?Why did the non-plot characters come out again?Moreover, she only thought about which number this Prince Yizhong was, and then she felt the pain of someone squeezing her heart.It is more and more certain that it is not a plot character.

I have asked about the situation of Prince Yizhong, the nanny, not to mention, he really has the shadow of the thirteenth prince of the chivalrous king.

Fine.

"We don't have anything to worry about now. In other words, if we are really going to be missed by the prince, we have no place to go. Let's cooperate. It's a pity that your family is only locked in the yard. Follow Yi Prince Zhong is doing business, and Lin Chao and Lin Mu's future will not have to worry about it in the future." Seeing that Mammy was about to speak, Chu Ran said directly, "I know your thoughts. Can I not understand this point? I have something for you Why can't you believe it? Our family has no business or land. There is no conflict, so why do we have to stay at home? What's wrong with rushing forward? I also hope that Lin Chao and Lin Mu will have a good future. I will be wronged again in the future. Is there someone you can rely on?"

When she said that, Mammy didn't say anything.Otherwise, I'm afraid that she will think too much, thinking that the Lin family has gone to a high branch or something.

In fact, Chu Ran really didn't think so.

With the sudden appearance of Prince Yizhong, what she thought in her heart was that it was the emperor who took care of the Lin family.

The effect is quite obvious.

No, since Prince Yizhong's mansion bought the boss's shop in the most prosperous street in the capital with great fanfare, and opened a curio shop, Lin Chao and Lin Mu became the stewards of the shop, and they went to the palace one day. Run several times.Lin Cheng's family is not a nameless family in the capital.The men in Jia's mansion hang around outside all day long, can they not receive news?When I get home, can I not tell my family?

Afterwards, in Chu Ran's courtyard, in the East and West Mansions, and in every house and courtyard, all became lively.Seeing the sky, someone came to deliver things, food and drink.Isn't it because Lin Cheng's family treats her consistently.

"What kind of good thing is this?" Chu Ran just got a batch of good gauze this day, light turquoise, and it's rare to be dyed unskillfully. Wearing it outside in summer, it looks nice, elegant, and cool, so Wang Xifeng came in.

"Why is the second sister-in-law so free today?" Chu Ran got up to greet her.

"It's not that you made the dry milk slices of Laoshizi fruit, so that our eldest sister can't eat well if she doesn't eat a bowl a day. I can't make that taste in the kitchen. I won't come to you for it, What else can I do?"

That thing, in fact, is nothing special, just a variant of the instant cereal that is commonly eaten in modern times.But she didn't put the cereal, and that condition was made at this time.I only took all kinds of preserved and dried fruits that were available at hand, and then made milk into dried milk according to the process of making milk tofu on the grassland.can survive.If you want to eat, rinse with warm water.The taste is also not bad.

After making it, each yard sent a small jar, and the girls ate it well.The kids liked it even more.When the eldest sister came to play in the yard before, she often ate it. Ping'er used to ask for it, and Li Wan asked for it twice for Jia Lan.At this moment, the second sister came in person.What Chu Ran didn't understand was that she was here to show her intimacy.

"What a big deal, let the second sister-in-law come here in person, is it possible to call a girl, can I still do it? Zijuan, go get a jar for the second grandma. This year, there are not many left. I’m done. I’ll make more this winter, and I’ll send two big jars to my elder sister.”

Chu Ran thought for a while, then went back to the inner room, picked a green gourd that had not yet grown from the gourd vine growing outside the fence of Yushuiyuan in the space, sawed off the mouth, and put a Yushui stone inside .

"This is one of the two gourds given to me by a monk with a skinny head and a lame man I met when I was a child. It has no other function. I just put clean water in the gourd and pour it out for use. The water is extraordinarily clear. It's sweeter, and it's good for me to drink. I'll give it to my eldest sister. Second sister-in-law, don't be disgusted. Don't think it's small, it can pour a bucket of water. It can't be drunk in a month." Pointing again I showed my little gourd to Sister Feng, "That one is what I often use. I have been playing with it for a long time, so it is a little old. This is a new one, and I haven't used it yet."

Although the actual function and spiritual power are very different, it is still okay with the Yushui stone nourishing it.

Wang Xifeng was still holding the tea made from the water in Chu Ran's little gourd, if he couldn't drink it, "No wonder the water here is sweeter than other places. It turned out to be a fairy gift from the old god. It's just that Good things, why are we so biased?"

When she and Baoyu were cursed by Ma Daopo, it was that monk who solved it together. For those two people, I couldn't believe it.Holding the little green gourd in her hand, she was a little reluctant to let go, for the sake of her eldest sister, she really wanted it.

Chu Ran's reasons are not ready-made, "Second sister-in-law is the smartest person, and I have nothing to hide. First, I really like eldest sister. Second, it is also because of these years in the mansion, and second My sister-in-law always took care of me. I was grateful in my heart, but I didn't have the opportunity to sign up. Third, when Lian's second brother sent me back to Yangzhou, my father's funeral depended on Lian's second brother to help Zhang Luo, if it wasn't for him Back up, the things in the house have been taken away long ago, how can there be so much left."

Speaking of Wang Xifeng, I can't blame her, the care she takes for this younger sister is not because of her.It's just that the old lady likes it, so she will take care of it a little more to please the old lady.No one knows Lian Er's temperament better than her, but it's just showing off outside with her status as the eldest son and grandson of the Hou family.Moreover, there is absolutely no reason to work in vain, there is no shortage of secret money in private, and the money sent by all parties is not a small amount.

"Look at what my sister said, your Lian's second elder brother is your direct cousin, shouldn't these things be deserved? How can you still be grateful?"

Chu Ran just laughed, "That's Lian's second elder brother and second sister-in-law who don't expect to repay their kindness. But I can't be cold-hearted and pretend that I don't know anything. It's just such a thing, and I can give it to my eldest sister. Son, if there is a little bit of benefit, it will be repaying the kindness of Lian's second elder brother and second sister-in-law to the eldest sister. Parents' beloved son, I am not wrong, am I?"

Wang Xifeng just laughed, and put the little green gourd into her sleeve, "Okay, okay, since my sister said so, then I will keep it. I have never been polite, wait until tomorrow, and let the elder sister Come to kowtow to you, and thank her aunt in person."
