[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

To be honest, under the imperial power, the emperor had never seen anyone make so many funny faces in front of him since he was a child, especially when the other party was facing the floor.

This is so much fun!

Although Quan Chang, the emperor's confidant eunuch, couldn't help but want to cover his face, but Quan Chang had to admit that this was a good way to attract the emperor's attention.At least, in Quan Chang's impression, no one has ever dared to make faces in such a grandiose manner, whether in front of the Supreme Emperor or in front of the current emperor and his brothers.

Making faces on the floor under the eyes of the emperor, I have to say, this is a huge risk, and if you are not careful, you will be rejected.

The emperor stopped Quan Chang's impending exit, sat down on the edge of the sleeping platform, let his legs hang down naturally, and then said: "Jiashan, what are you thinking about?"

Jia Yan blinked, then straightened up, and said to the emperor: "Long live, my servant just smelled the smell of egg custard."

"So, are you hungry?"

"No, I'm just thinking, how much does it cost to eat an egg for Long live. Two years ago, when I was still in our old lady's house, I wanted to eat an egg, and the cooks below dared to ask me for five hundred money!"

When Jia Yan got angry, she even forgot the word "Chen Nu".It happened that the matter she raised was not a trivial matter, and the emperor didn't even open his mouth to correct her.

When Jia Yan mentioned the egg, Quan Chang couldn't help shaking, because he knew very well that the emperor had just checked the account just a year ago, and it was clearly recorded in the account book of Qingfeng Division of Xuanhui Mansion that an egg It's a tael of silver.

Sure enough, the emperor's eyes narrowed: "Are the eggs outside five hundred yuan each?"

"How is that possible!" Jia Yan said, "It's just that the people in the kitchen tried their best to raise money. If you really treat me like a courtier, you don't know that there is someone selling eggs in a basket on the back street of our Rongguo Mansion." , One for a penny, buy ten and get one free! Not to mention, some of the eggs in our Rongguo Mansion were originally sent by the Zhuangzi, which cost no money, and some were born when chickens and ducks were raised at home. "

"raw?"

"That's right. Our family has a large population, and chickens and ducks are also a daily supply. So every ten days, we transport chickens, ducks and geese to our home one by one, and the accountant also allocates millet for raising these chickens and ducks! These chickens and ducks are raw Egg, did you buy it with money? You really think I’m easy to bully! In the end, I, a decent girl from Jia’s family, still have to starve. Whatever you say, be merciful, merciful, and merciful! Thinking of this, I want to sell all these servants!"

"So, when you enter the palace this time, you want me to help you deal with those servants in your family?"

The Jia family is such a mess, so why isn't Xuanhui Mansion such a mess?Since Jia Yan pointed out such a big disadvantage of Xuanhui Mansion for the emperor, the emperor really didn't mind supporting her once.

"That's good. Don't tell me, our house is in chaos. Those servants are so bold that they emptied the warehouse of our Rongguo Mansion, even my father's original wife and my mother's dowry. It was stolen, and now there is only crude benzene furniture left in the warehouse! My father originally mentioned it once, but the old lady and the second lady jointly suppressed it."

"Oh? What's the reason for this?"

"Of course it's because my father mentioned the old lady's confidant Lai Da's family and the second wife's confidant Zhou Rui's family. That Zhou Rui's family stole our antiques and let his son-in-law open an antique shop outside! And that Lai's family unexpectedly let The serious young masters and elder brothers of our Jia family call them grandpas! I can’t wait to have their skins peeled off! Not to mention the fact that they are champering lawsuits and lending usury in the name of our Rongguo Mansion! Today, a courtier is here This is also the meaning of the court daughter's father. We didn't dare to take the money that these two families didn't get. It's just that there are two wives before and after my father's dowry. Books, calligraphy and painting and the dowry Zhuangzi shop were found. This is to be passed on to my elder brother and my younger brother. Otherwise, he will have no face to see the two late wives in the future. As for the other things, my father will not want it. Anyway, our family owes For treasury money, since the Lai family and Zhou Rui's family were able to evacuate all the warehouses of our Rongguo Mansion, it can be seen that they have a lot of money, and they should be able to pay back the shortfall that our Rongguo Mansion owes. If it is not enough, we will think of a way It's also easy. Otherwise, with these two big rich men and big moths, our family really has no way to pay back the deficit."

Quan Chang shrank his neck.

He knew that Jia Yan had spoken to the emperor's heart.How short the emperor is of money, others don't know, will Quan Chang not know?The Supreme Emperor boasted that he was benevolent and good at using the country's money to buy fame, and the treasury was passed on to the emperor, which was an empty shell at all!Not to mention, it is time for the imperial court to use troops, and it costs money to use them.Without money, should the soldiers go to the battlefield empty-handed and hungry?

Quan Chang also knew a long time ago that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the veterans headed by the four kings and eight princes, and did not pay back the money they owed!It's just that the Supreme Emperor protected the emperor from touching these people, but the anger in the emperor's heart became more and more intense, and his patience with these veteran families became less and less.To put it bluntly, whenever those ministers cried to the emperor about being poor, the emperor wanted to copy the homes of those ministers to see if they were really poor or fake!

The properties of Rongguo Mansion that Jia Yan said were all evacuated by the servants below.This matter is not important to the emperor, what is important is that Jia Amnesty actually meant to return the deficit!Although it is said that Jia She only has one title left in the Rongguo Mansion, sometimes this title is what is lacking.

Just like Jia Yan's request, the emperor found out that the servants of Jia's family were all very rich, but if Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, then he would send someone to do it, and the Supreme Emperor would be angry and say that he would not give the veterans a way out.But now that Jia She sent his daughter to ask the emperor to make the decision, the emperor naturally has no constraints.

The emperor immediately selected Jingzhaofu Yin, Jingzhaofu Shaoyin and the leader of Hubenwei, ordered a few words, and let them go down.

When the emperor summoned his subjects, Jia Yan had already retreated into the corner, and when the emperor made arrangements, Jia Yan was brought before the emperor.

The emperor teased her: "How? Are you satisfied?"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Long live, although I am talking about my own affairs, I have heard that the affairs in this palace are not small. Although I am doing it for my own family, I don't want the empress to be wronged for no reason. .If Long Live is angry, don't blame the empress."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

Jia Yan said: "Isn't this obvious? Like our family, the wives and grandmas at home can touch the power of the housekeeper, but it is different in the palace. The servants and officials in the palace have their own set of regulations. There are relevant officials in charge, and the empress can't control them. Not to mention some things, even if the empress sees it, it's hard to speak up. It’s not that people make arrangements for the empress everywhere for their own benefit. Everyone’s mouth makes money. After a long time, even if Long live has the best affection for the empress, how can he stand up to this kind of wear and tear? I dare to say that it’s only because of today’s The life of the courtier is hanging on the fingertips of Wanzai. If you have the blue eyes of Wanzai, and there is Wanzai to take care of you, the courtier will be very good. But if you don’t have the blessing of Wanzai, the courtier will never be able to I know. How can such a courtier not try her best to seek the favor of Long Live?"

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned.

In fact, he was really angry with the queen just now, because in his opinion, as his wife, the queen should naturally mention him when something happened, just like when he was the prince and the queen was just the concubine, they were like this made.

But now?

The emperor himself admitted that after he became the emperor, the empress stayed away from him.Sometimes, the emperor couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it's easy to change people's hearts, does it mean that after entering the palace, the queen changed?

With Jia Yan's reminder, the emperor finally remembered, yes, it's not easy for the queen.The concubine can still be said to be the head princess, but the queen cannot be said to be the head queen. In many dynasties, the queen is just a decoration.The civil and military officials want the queen to have a good child and want the queen to be virtuous and capable, but they don't want the queen to intervene in the appointment of officials, and they don't want their relatives to be powerful.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor felt that he had made some mistakes in blaming the queen in the past year.Thinking of the queen's difficulties, the emperor was moved, and he decided to sit with the queen later.

There is no shortage of secrets in this palace.Here the emperor just met Jia Yan, and then Jingzhaofu Yin and Jingzhaofu Shaoyin entered the palace, and then Hubenwei left the palace. No matter how you look at it, there is a problem.

People in the palace would not be ignorant of the meaning of Huben Guard, so Jia Yuanchun volunteered to visit Jia Yan and find out news for the queen.

After returning to his residence, he drank water and changed his dress. He was asking the little maid to rub his knees. When he heard that Jia Yuanchun was coming, Jia Yan immediately frowned:

"Her? Isn't she the female history next to the queen? It's all right, what is she doing here?"

"Returning to the county lord, I heard that Jia Nushi begged for favor in front of the empress, saying that she wanted to visit her cousin..."

"This is confusing. Although she is my cousin, there is a big age difference between our sisters, and she entered the palace early. Where did so many sisters come from? If you want to talk about sisters, I will enter the palace." It's been half a month, when is she not going to come, but when I just came down from Wansui? She is afraid that others will not know that the empress is inquiring about Wansui?"

When Jia Yan said this, all the maids present immediately lowered their heads.

Peeping at the emperor's trace is not a small crime, even the queen, if she is misunderstood for peeping at the emperor's trace, she will be punished.

Seeing this, Jia Yan immediately said, "It looks like I'm right?"

What Jia Yan said was an interrogative sentence, but the tone was an affirmative sentence.

"That's how it is. She is as virtuous as the girls in front of her younger brother, and she is quick to tarnish the reputation of her master in the name of thinking about her master. In fact, she is doing it for her own benefit! Tell her, I won't see you! If so She really misses the sisterhood, why did she go early? Must it be delayed until today?!"

The author has something to say: Jia Yan felt that it would be meaningless to win in Jia’s house, so she decided to play big.

Yes, it is like that.

Play with every step is the thrill of dancing on a tightrope.

Jia Yan's character design is the same as Jia's family. Jia's family is a nouveau riche family, so Jia Yan's character design in front of the emperor is a lucky girl from a nouveau riche family who has not read many books.It's just that the emperor rewarded two female officials to go down, but the time is still short, and she can't change the unruly nature in her bones.So when she gets angry, she forgets that she should call herself a servant girl.

that's it.
