A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Song Gege was overjoyed, her two daughters were not raised, she has always been very regretful, now that Yahui is raising her, she is so happy that she doesn't know what to say, she just asks people to clean up the house and get ready, okay greet her.

Li Gege was like a bolt from the blue.

The daughter was sent to that wooden man of the Song family? !

Both sons were detained in the front yard, including her youngest son? !

He is only three years old, how can this be said to be not young?

The child is still breastfeeding. Li Gege was crying and wanted to find Fourth Master, but was stopped by the people around him: "Gege, Gege! You can't go out now."

It's still in confinement, what if it goes out and offends fourth master?

Now the backgrounds of the three children have not been changed, and they are all under her name. If Fourth Master is offended again...

Li Gege was like a basin of cold water was poured on her head, which made her heart feel cold.

He fell down on the ground exhausted, covered his face and cried, "Fourth Master, you are so cruel..."

By her side, the three children were all sent away, and her support was gone.

To make matters worse, she has no staff now, and now she is surrounded by newcomers. She doesn't know whether there are people or ghosts behind her, so she dare not use it easily.

Knowing the situation, Fujin couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and asked someone to make her favorite tea.

Pity.

It would be best if we could both lose and lose with Lin.

It's okay now, Mrs. Li probably won't be arrogant anymore in the future.

For so many years, it's not that Fujin hasn't been angry with her, but she has to bear the overall situation in mind.

Now that her retribution has come, she is naturally happy, but after being happy for a while, Ulanara became anxious.

She can understand that the little elder brother doesn't give her up, but why doesn't the little princess give her?Fourth master didn't mean to ask her at all, so he sent Yahui directly to Song Gege's care.

Fujin was startled suddenly.

Could it be that the timing of her illness was so coincidental that fourth master had doubts about her in his heart?

Or because of one after another, fourth master questioned her ability?

Either way, it's not good.

Fujin's back straightened all of a sudden, and she began to reflect on whether she was too anxious these days.

Because of Honghui's death and Lin's pregnancy, she felt threatened.

Fujin took a deep breath: "Come on, I want to chant scriptures and offer incense to elder brother."

She can't rush.

Knowing the result, Niu Hulu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slowly.

Li Gege's arrogance was so arrogant that both Fujin and Fujin Cian were angry with her, not to mention her little Gege.

Originally, the fourth master was going to come to her place, but Li Gege intercepted him with the excuse that the child missed his father.

This trick was used twice.

Originally, fourth master didn't come to her place much.

It's strange that she doesn't hate Li Gege.

Now is the time.

Fujin is getting old, Fujin is pregnant, Li Gege was rejected by the fourth master and put into confinement, it's time for them to show up.

Not only Niu Hulu thought so, but other Gege and concubines also thought so, looking forward to the fourth master returning to the house and entering the backyard.

It's a pity that fourth master's mood is really not very good recently, and he is not in any interest. He entered the inner house and only went to three places: Fujin, Fujin side, and Song Gege's.

After the death of his second daughter, fourth master seldom went to Song's place. Now because she raised Gege Yahui, fourth master would also go to her place. How could he not make people jealous?

Mrs. Li couldn't get out, and the news was delayed, but it was still able to spread slowly. Hearing the news, she almost vomited blood, her eyes turned red, but she heard another bad news: her father was demoted!

His father's abilities are mediocre, and it was the magistrate that fourth master helped him run.

Originally, there was a gap with Lin, but now the gap is even bigger.

If it weren't for her two sons, she would have suffered a complete defeat!

When the fourth elder brother was fighting in the backyard, the Rongguo Mansion was also causing waves.

Wang Xifeng knew that it was not an option to rely on secretly moving things out of the warehouse and pawning them for money.

There are countless things in the warehouse, which can be used for a while, but they cannot last forever.

She had to find a way to increase income and reduce expenditure, but these four words were easy to say but difficult to do.

Most of Fuchu's income comes from shops and Zhuangzi.

The shops are basically run by servants, but the profit is really not ideal. Some of them are better rented out directly, so that the monthly rent can get more money, so as not to have to pay back money.

Many of their family's farms are contiguous and located in good locations, but their income is declining every year. Wang Xifeng carefully read the account books of previous years and was very angry.

I can't wait to drive people out and replace them with those who can do things, but they can't make decisions by themselves.

Those people are old fritters, and they always say that they were born and died with the old Duke, or served so and so, all of them have little ability and arrogance.

If someone has real skills, how can Zhuangzi's income keep falling, Wang Xifeng is very dissatisfied.

So I told Jia Lian, and Jia Lian didn't believe it at first when he heard this situation, "How is it possible, with so many properties in our family, why is it that we can't make ends meet?"

As a result, the ledger thrown over by Wang Xifeng's shop gave him a face. He flipped through it, and was shocked to find that there was indeed a big problem with their family's income.

Jia Lian knew that some Zhuangzi's income was not very good, and he knew it well.

He also takes [-]% of the money for working in the mansion. It is not surprising that these farm heads have worked so hard for so many years to get some income, so he didn't pay too much attention before. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. , no one is willing to work hard, and it is true that the foundation is already deep, and they are all old qualifications. There are many people who call him grandpa when they meet.

In addition, the self-conscious family has a great career, and they took some hard work, so he just turned a blind eye to it, but now...

There are a lot of ledgers, and Jia Lian doesn't have the patience to read them all, but he can still understand the latest ledger.

He pointed to the expenses on the account book, "That's not right, there was only 200 taels left in the account last month, how can the master withdraw 300 taels?"

Then he turned pale with shock: "My good second grandma, you don't mean to take out your dowry?"

The dowry is his wife's private property, and it will be passed on to his children in the future. What's the point of spending it on the master now? He can't even spend a few taels!

Wang Xifeng gave her a blank look, "No matter how rich my family is, I'm not so wronged."

How long can her dowry last if it's all taken from her dowry.

Jia Lian was silent then, if it wasn't her dowry, where did the money come from?

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to let Jia Lian know what she had done: "It's just tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. My good second master, I can't go on like this forever. If this goes on like this, my family won't be able to continue."

Jia Lian also knows this truth, because his daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, and he has gained a lot of convenience. If she doesn't take care of the house, his status will definitely change.

He didn't want his wife to lose her housekeeping rights.

If he lost this right, he would have to live on that little money every month in the future, and that little money would not even be enough for a meal.

So Jia Lian took the initiative to ask his cousin-in-law Dachun to inquire. After inquiring, he found that there was no natural disaster or man-made disaster at Fengtian's Zhuangzi, whose income had dropped the most. This is to fool them as fools.

But he was fooled by it. Compared with previous years' income, the other party swallowed up one-third of it. This is not justified by a little hard work.

Jia Lian had to say that he was jealous, "I live a more chic life than I, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion."

He secretly took a look at the tigress at home, so that when she ordered him to work, he could enrich his purse by the way, otherwise he could only get some by bowing his head and asking her for it.

They both know it's time to clean up, but who's going to clean it up?

Jia Lian stood behind Wang Xifeng, pinched her shoulders and thumped her back courteously, "Second Mistress is the housekeeper, I must trouble Second Mistress to tell the old ancestor about this matter."

If he could arrange for someone to replace him, and he would save a little each time, he would no longer have to worry about not having enough money to spend.

Wang Xifeng was not very willing, "Husband and wife are one, let's go together!"

These people are basically from the generation of the ancestors, or they can be said to be assigned by the ancestors. Now it is said that they are not effective in doing things and filling their own pockets. It is no wonder that the ancestors will be happy when they hear such words.

Seeing that Jia Lian wanted to say more, Wang Xifeng stared: "Let's come out together, otherwise I don't want the housekeeper right, I can't handle this family well."

If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have lasted so long. She was able to make this public because she had considered it carefully after being persuaded by Daiyu. For this reason, she even spent money to flatten the part that she took away before, but the things in the warehouse were flattened. No, I deliberately redid the account.

But at the end of the day, she has a lot of resentment.

She listened to her ancestors' orders, took Yingchun Xichun sisters to Lin's house a lot, and also heard some things about Lin's house, the more she heard and saw, the more unwilling she became.

The two of them were able to get married. At that time, the old Duke was still there, and it was the Lin family who took over.

Now turn it upside down, the Lin family lived that day, let's look at my own life now.

There is no money, the husband is incompetent, there are many servants in the family and they are not obedient, and the stewards outside are full of private pockets.

If she had been born a few years earlier and married someone like the Lin family, she would have been blessed, but she dismissed the idea as soon as it came up.

The cousin doesn't know if she is sober now, the lessons learned from the past are there, and she can't do stupid things.

As soon as Wang Xifeng mentioned the Lin family, Jia Lian was speechless, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

"You envy the Lin family, and so do I."

The servants of the Lin family are really obedient.

The cousin of the Lin family is also really happy.

He is already a father, and he only gets a little silver every month. As for the cousin of the Lin family, he owns his own property at a young age, and his income is completely independent. As long as he wants to, he can spend a lot of money. .

The husband and wife quarreled with each other, but in the end they went to find their ancestors together.

Just as they thought, Mother Jia's face fell down when she heard such a thing.

She doesn't care about household chores now, as long as there is no shortage of her expenses, she doesn't interfere, but in the past, she was also the housekeeper, looking at the income sent by the village every year, and let her grandson and grandson leave alone in the house for a long time.

The more you look at it, the more serious your face becomes, and the matter of filling your own pockets will not be cut off, but this is over, but if you are too strict with them, there are still many people here who are her dowry. ?

On the way, Baoyu came and saw the old ancestor's expression, and couldn't hold back: "Ancestor, I still have homework to do, I'll go back and do my homework first."

The old ancestor is in a bad mood now, and he will come to talk to the old ancestor tomorrow.
