The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

On the second day, Jia Lian and Yan Peining came to offer tea to them. Xing Yue looked at Jia Lian's attitude and seemed very satisfied with Yan Peining.Let Xing Yue say that Yan Peining, a daughter-in-law, has gained value, and she is no worse than Wang Xifeng in appearance. After marrying, she has saved the reputation of the Jia family and is of great help to Jia Lian's future future.Yan Peining and Wang Xifeng are two completely different types of beauties. Wang Xifeng is flamboyant and bright, while Yan Peining is dignified and restrained. Xing Yue also has to lament Jia Lian's good fortune.

At the same time, Yan Peining was also observing this mother-in-law. She had a beautiful appearance and a well-maintained figure. How could she tell that she was in her 30s, and she didn't have the petty air that was rumored outside.

Xing Yue had a very good impression of Yan Peining, and saw that Xing Yue readily took the tea offered by Yan Peining, and took a sip without any embarrassment. As a result, Yan was very polite and asked someone to give the pair of mutton fat jade bracelets that she had prepared. Yan Peining asked, and said: "Mr. Yan, if you marry Lian'er, you will be part of the Jia family in the future. You will live with Lian'er and Meimei. If there is anything wrong with Lian'er, just tell me, and I will teach Lian'er a lesson for you." That brat."

Yan Peining knew the rules. In addition to preparing a set of clothes for Xing Yue and Jia She, she also gave Yingchun and Jia Zong a big purse and toys. Tanchun has a purse for each person and nothing else.

Three days later, when Jia Lian brought Yan Peining back home, Xing Yue asked someone to sort out the account books. When Jia Lian went to the Yamen, Xing Yue planned to hand over the house to Yan Peining. If she handed it over as soon as possible, she would be liberated as soon as possible.

Now there are 220 or six servants in the mansion plus those brought by the daughter-in-law. All the stewards get two taels of silver, the second steward gets four taels of silver, and the chief steward gets five taels of silver, plus the monthly silver of the masters of each place, plus 200 taels of silver for purchases, the monthly The normal expenses are 500 taels of silver, plus 1000 taels of clothes and jewelry for the four seasons, the annual expenses are 7000 taels of silver, plus the house, flowers and plants maintenance and maintenance fees, New Year's ceremony, the total annual expenses of the mansion are 1 taels silver.

Dafang’s public business, last year, took people to the border to give gifts, and actually sent out a big deal. The jewelry at the border is cheap, and he cooperates with his nephew and son-in-law Shi Dalang. Selling in Jia's shop, this item alone made a net profit of 8 taels of silver this year, and distributed 3% to 7000 taels of silver to Shi Dalang, and the Jia family lost 3 taels of silver, plus other properties With an income of 8 to [-] taels, Dafang’s total income this year was actually [-] to [-] taels.

Excluding the daily expenses of the family, the money Jia Lian spent on marrying his daughter-in-law has 5 taels of silver in the family treasury.Jia Shen looked at the money and was jealous. This is the income for a year. The property under his name has been in business for 30 to 30 years, and he has only saved 6 taels of silver. Antique calligraphy and painting shops are very profitable shops, but he spends a lot of money every year. He spends at least 20 to 30 taels of silver every year to buy these things, plus the maintenance fees for these things. After more than [-] years, he can It would be nice to save [-] taels of silver.

If Balabala Jiashe's private treasury was filled with piles of antique calligraphy, paintings and jade, the contents would be worth 200 million taels of silver.In order to save money in the treasury for Yingchun and Jia Cong's marriage, Xing Yue formally issued an ultimatum to Jia Amnesty, not to spend big money outside to buy antique calligraphy and paintings in the past few years.

When Jia Lian was on a business trip, Xing Yue had someone call Yan Peining over, and handed her the account books that had been sorted out, and asked her to ask Jia Lian if she didn't understand.Yan Peining was still a little scruples about Xing Yue at the beginning, Xing Yue waved his hand and said: "You get to know it as soon as possible and take over the management. I'm old and I'm really powerless for these energy-consuming things. It's the right time for you to come in." Throwing the hot potato Generally, he left the housekeeping power to Yan Peining.

Yan Peining went back to look at the account books, and wondered why there was only 5 taels of silver in the treasury, and it was put into the treasury this year. When the family was separated, why were there so many less things? When Jia Lian came back at night, she asked Jia Lian.

Although Jia Lian was very satisfied with Yan Peining, but after all the time of marriage was short, he was afraid that something like Wang Xifeng would happen again, so he said: "I know about this, I will tell you in a few days, you just take care of the housework according to the old rules. I'm familiar with it, if there is something unreasonable, you can mention it to your mother."

After Jia Lian returned the treasury silver, he respected Xing Yue more.I looked through the account books my daughter-in-law put on the table, and I was very surprised that Ku Yin had 5 taels. At this time last year, there was hardly a cent of silver in the treasury.He knew that in addition to the library silver, there were more than 20 taels of bank notes at home. In addition to the 3 taels of silver given to him, plus the 2 taels of silver that was given to him last year and this year, this amount of money is not always Going to the public account must have used the money, and the rest were kept by the parents and were not put into the treasury.

There will be 5 taels of silver in the treasury this year. He has to admit that her stepmother is a rare business master.

Let Xing Yue, a stay-at-home girl who likes to lie down and read novels, and eat delicious food, deal with the money all day long, greet and send it to others, and she can do it for a while, but after a long time, Xing Yue feels very irritable, and finally Throwing this matter out, holding the scriptures collected by people every day, it is interesting to read anecdotes and strange things.

However, after three months of comfortable life, Xing Yue had to take back this tiring job again, because Xing Yue was going to be promoted to be a grandmother, and Yan Peining was diagnosed as one month pregnant. I can't control it.

When Xing Yue took the housekeeper back, he first found a few faults and dealt with some provocative aunts when Yan Peining was the housekeeper. These aunts saw that the housekeeper Xing Yue was strict and his methods were cruel. Sell ​​the house, or send it to Zhuangzi, and dare not make trouble.

The housekeeper Yan Peining, who just entered the mansion, is young and a junior. She comes from a scholarly family and has a good temper. She thinks that Yan Peining is easy to bully. In the first month of taking over, these people made trouble. Yan Peining said that they followed the rules of the mansion. If it wasn't enough, she would give up her share first and let them use it. She told her mother to deal with it, and pushed back neither softly nor hard.In the second month of taking over, these people did not give up and used this trick again, but Yan Peining smiled and refused, letting these aunts know that Second Mistress is not easy to bully.

In the third month, a steward jumped out and was rewarded by the second grandmother with twenty big boards according to the rules of the house. Yan Peining heard the blood and fainted, only then found out that she was pregnant for a month.

This is the best news, the eldest son is about to have a baby, Jia Amnesty just walked around the room happily, after a while, he took out the dictionary and wanted to name his grandson, Xing Yue didn't care about his convulsions, Send someone to report to the in-laws.

On that day, Xueshi Yan rushed over with his two sons and congratulatory gifts. Yan Peining has two younger brothers. The eldest brother Yan Lingche is 16 years old and is currently studying in the Imperial College. The second brother Yan Lingbing is 13 years old and is now in Studying in the government school is different from these descendants in their house, these two are also motivated and good at studying.

Needless to say Jia Lian, Xing Yue saw him giggling at her daughter-in-law's belly several times, and thinking about Jia Amnesty, Xing Yue shook his head, as expected of a father and son, a fool.

In August, when sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, on the third day of the eighth month, Yan Peining gave birth to a son safely. Jia She and Jia Lian and his son were so happy that they went crazy. Jia Lian hugged his son and said to Jia She and Xing Yue that he was also a father. Jia She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Xing Yue took the child from Jia Lian and said to Jia Lian, "Go in and see your wife."

In the end, Jia Amnesty named his grandson Jia Gui. Early in the morning of Xisan, he dragged Jia Zhen to open the ancestral hall and included Jia Gui in the genealogy. Why should the grandson of the second family be included in the genealogy when he was born? , Why won't his child become a child.

The old lady looked at Jia She's face, her face was contorted with anger, if it wasn't for the third day of washing today, so many people came, the old lady would have picked up the crutches and hit him.This year, the old lady has been worrying about Jia Zheng's affairs, except for showing face, she didn't make things difficult for the big family.

Speaking of the second house, this year has provided the eldest house with a lot of fun.The Liu family, the second wife married by Jia Zheng, is also not an easy character. Those who can stay in the palace until they are 25 years old and live out of the palace are not amazing.When Mrs. Liu came in to offer tea to her, the old lady secretly gave Mrs. Liu a sterilizing drug. For some reason, Mrs. Liu discovered it later, and the old lady followed the line to find out what the old lady did.

Mrs. Liu suffered a loss and had no way out, how could she swallow her anger?She found out after a few days what kind of temper her master had, and she couldn't count on it at all. Knowing that the old lady valued Jia Baoyu the most, she encouraged Jia Zheng to take Baoyu home and raise him, saying that Jia Baoyu was a boy, who was already seven years old and could not Staying in the inner house all the time, always mixing with women, lacking the masculinity of boys and the like, and inadvertently revealed to Jia Zheng that Jia Baoyu ate the rouge on the girl's mouth, making Jia Zheng get angry and beat Baoyu to death. After a pause, he only wiped away the old lady's distressed tears.

What's even more powerful is that Mrs. Liu took Jia Tanchun back abruptly from the old lady, put her by her side and raised her meticulously, and dragged Aunt Zhao into her camp. Mrs. Liu saw it very clearly. They won't be of one mind with her, and if they support Jia Huan, they might be able to support her in the old age.She didn't plan to take Jia Baoyu back either, as she would put it in the old lady's place and raise it to waste. That was also the old lady's responsibility, and it had nothing to do with her, right?

Now it is Liu's butler's second bedroom family, interrupting many of Mrs. Wang and the old lady's minions. In order to fight for Baoyu's interests, the old lady kept fighting with Liu's, but she didn't have the time to trouble the big house.

Having said that, as the grandson of the first-class general Jia She, and the grandson of Yan Xuesan, a second-rank official, there were many ladies who came to feed the pot, and it was very lively. Li Wan was also there. Seeing such a lively scene, Thinking of the desertedness of Jialan's three-hour bath, I felt extremely sour.Seeing Li Wan's appearance, Li Yunxiang's wife sighed, walked over, and held Li Wan's hand to comfort her.

When Yan Peining came out of the full moon, Xing Yue handed over the housekeeping to her, and threw Yingchun to Yan Peining to teach, and played with the little bun by herself, saying that since she was old, it was time to enjoy family happiness.

Hell, as a modern home girl, she is only 37 years old, which is the age of vigorous energy. She said that she was old and lacked energy, and she didn't take out the mirror to take a look at her delicate face without a trace of wrinkles.Speaking of this point, Time seems to have ignored the existence of Xing Yue, and her appearance today is no different from that of three years ago, but with more mature charm.

Jia Lian saw that his daughter-in-law was housekeeping again, and now that she had a son, there was nothing to hide, so she told Yan Peining about the repayment of treasury silver, and gave her daughter-in-law 2 taels of silver, a few shops, and a land deed, saying It was money saved for his son's private house.It is also because this year, he has been valued by his superiors, and he has more and more official duties, so he has no more time to take care of these properties. These are all bought with the money given by his parents in the past few years.

Seeing this, Yan Peining knew that her husband now fully accepted her and became his own family. No wonder others said that only when this woman had a son could she gain a foothold in her husband's family.

Maybe Jia Gui is a lucky star. Next, both Jia Rong's daughter-in-law and Jia Qiang's daughter-in-law in the East Mansion found out that they were pregnant, and Mrs. Xu in the East Mansion was very happy.The good times didn't last long, in the cold winter, Mrs. Xu was out in the wind and got cold, and then she had a stroke, dragged on for a year and didn't get better, and in March of the next year, she couldn't get over it and went away.

Mrs. Xu from Dongfu always kept her family's money owed to the state treasury in her heart. On her deathbed, she ordered Jia Zhen to pay back the money owed to the state treasury.

After the first seven days, Jia Zhen asked someone to carry 20 taels of silver and sent it to the treasury in a mighty way, saying that it was her mother's will, and she didn't want her children and grandchildren to live in debt. Returned to the treasury.

On the second day, Jia Zhen returned to the south with her family. The two pregnant daughters-in-law and the four-year-old New Year were all taken away, leaving only Jia Jing, who didn't care about anything, practicing in the Taoist temple every day.

When those people were going to trouble Jia Zhen's family, they found that they had gone to the empty building and returned without success.

The Ning Mansion pierced the sky, patted his butt and Ding You left, but the Rong Mansion couldn't escape.There is no one in Ning Mansion, so there is still Rong Mansion, and now only Jia Lian is an official in Rong Mansion, so there are many people who trouble Jia Lian, some of them are blocked by Yan Xueshi, and Jia Lian barely escaped a few times.

Going on like this is not an option. After discussing with Mu Jingyuan, Yan Xueshi thinks that it is appropriate for Jia Lian to go out at this time. Now that the capital is messed up by several princes, it is a safe way to leave the capital.

So Yan Xueshi operated in the middle of the court and released Jia Lian, but in the end he was tricked by others. The five-rank Tongzhi in a good place was replaced by the seventh-rank county magistrate in remote Guangdong. His morale was high enough, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he hit Jia Lian right under his uncle's nose.

Zhang Junhao was promoted last year, and now he is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Where Jia Lian has gone, Jia She, Xing Yue, and Yan Xueshi are relieved.

After the Ning Mansion went to Jiangnan in March, Jia Lian of the Rong Mansion and his wife also set off for Guangdong in May. After Jia Lian left, the first-class general Rongguo Mansion also closed the door and could not easily come out.
