Old things in the Red Chamber

When Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu went to Zhongwuhou's mansion this time, they each brought a big girl with them.Jia Yingchun is playing chess, and Lin Daiyu is with Zicuckoo.

Jia Yingchun told Siqi on the way, "Don't pinch the tip to be strong, and don't fill the yard with scolding women and maids. The women in my uncle's house are different from those in our house. They are not the ones waiting to be beaten and scolded by you."

After the car entered the backyard, they took a rest in their yard first. Cailing, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Tong, came, "Our wife asks the girls to forgive me. Originally, the lady wanted to greet her personally, but now she is receiving Anyang The nuns in the eldest princess's mansion, they came to measure the house, and they wronged the girls. After those nuns leave, our wife will come to invite the girls again."

Watching the big girl leave, Siqi hurriedly pulled Jia Yingchun's sleeve, "Will the girl not give you money?"

Licorice was arranging Jia Yingchun's clothes, and it was funny when she heard it, "Don't say it, our family rewards for merit. Sister Qi gave it, but Cailing didn't dare to accept it."

Food and drink were brought in for a while, and the maids in the room performed their duties, quietly, not hearing a whisper, and after a while, a little girl came over, whispered something in Licorice's ear, and walked out backwards up.

"Little Yan'er said that Miss Lin has fallen asleep, please take it easy on our side."

Siqi became anxious, "Miss Lin can't sleep well at night, she will fall asleep now, what should I do if I am sleepy after walking at night? Push the girl to wake up..."

All the maids in the room looked at her, and Siqi said, "...why... look at me?"

"Master, you can sleep if you want, and you can see your wife later. How can we be the master's house and make up your mind for the master."

Siqi is even more confused. In the old days, the old lady said, "You have to think more about the master, you have to think about what the master can't think of, and you have to think about what the master can't think of..."

Princess Anyang's daughter is actually two years older than Jia Xuan. The reason why she has never married off is that the princes in the palace have become incompatible with each other in recent years, and those who are related to these princes have been drawn into the camp. Well, Princess Anyang's daughter was also supposed to be married to a certain family, but when she was not married that day, she turned against her and stabbed today's emperor, which caught her by surprise.

Under such circumstances, who is willing to marry off the niece, even if it is not a relative, the emperor was unwilling to renew the marriage contract, not only he was unwilling, but even Princess Anyang herself was unwilling, so it was delayed again It has dragged on for several years until now.

Therefore, the Anyang Princess and his wife had a very strong desire to marry their daughter. At the beginning, the daughter was very big, and she was almost an old girl. Later, she was very satisfied with Jia Xuan, Yunwen Yunwu, no brothers, although it is a shortcoming , but it also proved that no one competed with him for the title.What satisfied Princess Anyang the most was that she didn't have a sister-in-law, so she didn't have to let her daughter serve the old ones and then the young ones... The girl in Rongguo Mansion is not a serious sister-in-law, so don't worry about it at all.

The yard used as the wedding room for Jia Xie is the second largest yard in the back yard. Mrs. Tong personally accompanied her. She gestured to the princess's confidant mother and the row of yards on the east side, "The couple will live here in the future. It is spacious and has a horse farm. If you have a boy, you can live in the front yard closer to his father. If you have a girl, you can live with her mother in the back yard, which is more at ease."

Zhongwuhou's mansion did not rely on the dowry of the daughter-in-law to fill the house. Mrs. Tong also stated that apart from the daughter-in-law's upper house, the furniture has already been laid out in other places, so there is no need to wait for the daughter-in-law to see it.

It was late at night that Tong's family sent away the nuns of the princess mansion. These nuns are of high grade and cannot be treated as ordinary women.

Jia Yingchun changed her clothes early, and Lin Daiyu changed her clothes and jewelry after sleeping for a while, and together they went to Mrs. Tong's main room holding the girl's hand.After seeing the ceremony, they all said that she had worked hard.

"They are all debt collectors. No matter how hard you work, your heart is sweet. I hope that your brother will get married soon. Once he gets married, I will finish the last big thing in my life."

Then asked Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu what they had eaten in the past few days?What are you playing?

"At the meeting in the morning, your master Jin told me that learning is like going against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I asked you to study with her tomorrow morning. I thought it would not hurt the girls to know more. We still follow the old rules. , you go to study in the morning, I will take care of these trivial matters, and we girls will talk in the afternoon."

Jia Gu lost his value on the second day, and was left behind by the emperor to speak. The new emperor has only been on the throne for a few months, and he is holding the Supreme Emperor everywhere. The Emperor didn't take it seriously either, the biggest thorn in his heart right now was Concubine Zhen and her loyal prince.

Naturally, the Zhen family will not be destroyed overnight, nor will the loyal prince. What the emperor wants to plan now is the position of the admiral of the nine sects.

He felt that Wang Ziteng could not reassure himself.Although after ascending the throne, Wang Ziteng turned his back on the emperor at the fastest speed, but on the night of the palace change, Wang Ziteng had a lot of thoughts. become unimportant.

To be an emperor, one must understand the affairs of the courtier's family. Only when he is kind, can he make people cast their eyes on him and be willing to be driven by others.

"Yesterday, when I went to the Queen's place, I ran into a female official named Jia..."

Chief Eunuch Hong behind him took a step forward and reminded, "Jia Yuanchun, Fengzao palace lady history."

"Yes, it's her. It's your niece, the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion, isn't it?"

Jia Gu thought for a while, "Brother Chen, Marquis Jia En has two sons and one daughter. A few days ago, I made a fool of myself and brought his girl into the house together with the daughter of Lin Hai from the Jiangnan Salt Class. Now they are raised in our house. What did you meet? That one should be the eldest daughter of Jia Cunzhou. He has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter is in the palace. Well, she is the oldest among the girls. Speaking of this, I have to tell you a joke about the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Enhou's eldest son, ranked second, is known as the second master Lian, and Jia Cunzhou's son is also the second master Bao, which means that the cousins ​​are separated, but the girls are lined up together again. "

The emperor walked along the imperial road with Jia Gu, looked back at Jia Gu, "I understand what you mean, you have worked so hard for me for so many years, you just have a good relationship with your elder brother, I know, Rongfu I have heard a lot of things, but do you know that the Rong Mansion owes money to the treasury?"

"I didn't know before, but now I know. How much is owed?" Jia Gu asked cautiously, and with the attitude of Rongguo Mansion, the owed days will not be less.What did the emperor mean by saying that he asked himself to go to the Rongguo Mansion to collect debts?

"When the Supreme Emperor was sitting in court, the treasury was not abundant. You also know that even the important places in the North Land owed military salaries all the year round. Now that I am the master of the house, the money is still not abundant. I intend to take back some of it. , but the Supreme Emperor thought of the veterans of the past who were loyal to the country..."

"Yes, yes, I will go back immediately and ask my elder brother to pay back the money. I don't know how much it is. You can give me a count."

"More than 70 taels, borrowed from your great-grandfather, especially in recent years."

"Since the money is owed by the ancestors, even though I have not entered the genealogy, I should still carry some of it. I will go back and collect the family property. I am willing to carry 50 taels, just to ask the emperor for a favor."

"There are still conditions for returning the money."

"No, there is no condition, I will go back immediately and return it..."

"When you come back, how much money do you have? I'm not urging you to pay back the money. I'm urging your two brothers to pay back the money. I'll explain to you first, and I'm not asking you for money."

"Even so, this money is owed by my ancestors..."

"Your ancestors didn't owe much, including your father, it's only about 20 yuan, and if you count the interest, it's 30 yuan..."

Jia Gu interrupted the emperor, "I will return the 30 yuan."

The emperor looked at him for a while, "Since it is the debt of the ancestors, you can pay it back. For the sake of being so active, what did you just say? Tell me, I am in a good mood today, listen to you Say it."

"Brother Chen is just a stick. He is not the head of the family. He has earned a reputation for nothing. If you want to say that he is as courageous as a mouse, he always tosses his family at home in the past, and never goes out to drink and make troubles and socialize with others... "

The emperor nodded, "I know, he was the emperor's brother's companion, and I heard that he often fell asleep in class."

"..." Jia Gu's face was embarrassing for Jia She, "I want to say, if the Rong family commits a crime in the future, don't blame him, he doesn't have the guts."

"Yes, he was not included in the plan of the emperor's brother back then. I know, but he must be honest. If he committed crimes by himself, I don't remember agreeing to you today." What."

"If that's the case, he deserves it. Thank you, master."

"Get up, go talk to the two brothers and pay back the money earlier."

As soon as Jia Gu came home, he quickly invited Jia Amnesty, recalling what he had said to the emperor, causing cold sweat to break out on Jia Gu's back. Do less.

"Jia Gui, have the people sent to Jiayu Village in the south of the Yangtze River set off yet?"

"Nope."

"Don't go, the emperor's people are watching."

Jia She came here happily, his life is the most beautiful, he is an old dandy, Jia Gu's biggest request to him is not to bully men and women, he himself has no pressure, no need to worry, no lack of food and drink, let him Most people are envious to death.

As soon as Jia Amnesty entered the door, he saw Jia Gui moving out the golden utensils from the study, and asked, "This is it?"

"Take it and sell it." Jia Gu's voice came from inside, and Jia Amnesty hurried in.

"Old brother, what's the matter? No money to spend?"

"Today, the Holy Majesty asked me to send a message, saying that Lao Jia's family owed the treasury 70 taels of silver, and asked me when I would pay it back? I said in front of the imperial court that I would pay back 30 taels of it. This is to make a show for the Tian family to see look."

Jia She was so distressed that he died, "Yin Zi..."

"Money is worthless, brother, it's only natural to pay off debts."

"But the money was not spent on me, the whole family spent it..."

"Call Jia Cunzhou out at night, I get 30 taels, and each of you 20 taels. I don't support my mother, but my mother doesn't support me either. If he dares to tell me what is there or not, I will argue with him. You Take out the 20 taels first."

Jia Amnesty lowered his head.

When Jia Gu saw it, he knew that this was a master who wanted money but not his life, "Forget it, I'll get it for you, don't talk nonsense at night."
