[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Everyone knows that the Jia family is flamboyant and likes to show off.With this kind of thing, others rarely enjoyed it for two days, and it was over after setting up two tables of wine at home, but it took half a month to make a fuss in Jia's house.

If it weren't for the fact that Jia Zheng was not the one who benefited in the end, and if it wasn't for the people in the clan blocking Jia's mother, I'm afraid this matter would still be troublesome.

As for Jia's mother, on the one hand, she was entangled by the clansmen, and on the other hand, she was annoyed that Jia pardoned Jia Yan. After entering the door, he was cold to Jia Yan again.

If it was the past, when Jia's mother was the uncompromising Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, and Mrs. Xing had no dignity at all in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yan might suffer a little loss.

But now?It is true that Mother Jia is still the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, but Mrs. Wang is not the housekeeper wife of the Rongguo Mansion. If Jia She is in charge of the affairs outside the Rongguo Mansion, even Wang Xifeng can only manage the inner house as before. little things.Not to mention, now that Jia Amnesty is annoyed by Wang Xifeng, he simply borrowed Youshi Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Jia Zhen.

That's right, Mrs. Xing still doesn't care about the truth, but if there is anything wrong here, she can ask You Shi and Qin Keqing.Both of them are Madam Xing's juniors, and it's only natural to listen to Madam Xing.

As for Youshi, even if she is a cheap girl, she has officially entered into the official document to be Jia Lian's concubine, but not for the sake of a man, but for the sake of her own sister. She can't help herself.

Second Sister You's life in Rongguo Mansion is not good, and it's her Youshi's face that's been swept away.

As for Qin Keqing, although she has already had an affair with Jia Zhen, she is a woman after all, and she is still a woman of this era. I am sorry that her husband must be guilty.Hearing her husband said that he wanted to ask Jia Yan for help to see if he could find a job, Qin Keqing naturally spent a lot of time trying to please Jia Yan.

Jia Mu was the first one who didn't want to see people from the tribe come to beg Jia Yan to take Jia Zheng's opportunity, and Jia Amnesty blocked it for her, and there were Mrs. Xing and two female officials from Fengyi to help. These days, Jia Yan also only needs to accept the flattery of others, and then put on airs and smile.

It's just that Mrs. Jia's mother Jia Shexing can help her block most of the people, but there are three people she can't block.

Today, the sisters were sitting at Jia Yan's place to talk, and after Third Sister You greeted Mrs. Xing, she heard that the girls were all at Jia Yan's place, so she also came over.

After Second Sister You became Jia Lian's concubine, their family's situation was naturally much better than before, and Third Sister You didn't have to do those shady prostitutes, so she often came to Jia's house for a short stay.

She was not close to Youshi, and because of Jia Zhen's lust, she didn't go to Ningguo Mansion much, but Second Sister You reserved a room for her mother and younger sister in the back room of her yard.

Although it's just a back room, it's much better than her own home, and as a younger sister, Third Sister You doesn't want to hook up with her own brother-in-law to make things difficult for Second Sister You, so she sleeps with her mother at night.If there is nothing to do during the day, she will come to Jia Yan’s place to sit. If Jia Yan’s place is too crowded, she will go to Lin Daiyu’s room next door or Xichun’s room, or let Lin Daiyu teach her to read and write, or play with Xichun and let Xichun teach her paint.

Ever since she met Lin Daiyu, Third Sister You has lost all her desire to compete for favor and show off in the past.

Even though she was still young, Lin Daiyu still surpassed her in appearance and demeanor, not to mention her talent and demeanor.

If Xue Baochai, who is a businesswoman but likes to preach with her status, is replaced, Third Sister You might explode.

But facing Lin Daiyu, Third Sister You can only feel ashamed of herself.

Therefore, she is willing to tell Lin Daiyu anything.

Today, Jia Yan's side was once again filled with old ladies and daughter-in-laws from the clan, and Third Sister You came to Lin Daiyu's place. As she talked, she naturally talked about Jia Yunde and Jia Lian this time. went.

Hearing Third Sister You's doubts, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't need to ask Second Sister about this, but I know about it."

"Oh? What's the reason? My dear lady, tell me. I'll learn from my sister later, and I will reassure my sister's heart."

Because the second sister You remembered the words of the eldest sister You Shi and followed Yan everywhere, which made her younger sister You Third Sister much more honest.Among other things, with Yan's reminder, Third Sister You also learned some taboos about mansion gates.

Among other things, Xue Baochai could brazenly call Jia Yan sister by virtue of her status as Mrs. Wang's niece, but they couldn't.Not only Jia Yan, but also Lin Daiyu Xichun.Therefore, even though she looked down on Xue Baochai very much in her heart, when she left her house, Third Sister You was always called Miss Lin Daiyulin, Miss Lin, and Miss Xichun.There is also Shi Xiangyun, who in her mouth is Miss Shi, Tanchun is the third girl, and Xue Baochai is naturally Miss Bao.

After Yan's guidance, she never missed the address.

It's just that Xue Baochai didn't like her, and she also didn't like Xue Baochai, so the two never spoke.Apart from Jia Yan, she also often came to Lin Daiyu and Xichun's house, even though these two were much younger than her.

Lin Daiyu put down her pen and ink, asked Third Sister You to sit next to her, and herself sat next to Third Sister You, Fang said: "In the officialdom, there are evaluations once a year and summaries every three years. They are all examples. The second cousin is To be promoted, you have to wait for the three excellent points accumulated in the evaluation. Although there are those who are promoted exceptionally, they have to make very significant achievements that everyone can see. No matter how good the second cousin is doing, at this time If you haven't arrived, you don't have enough qualifications, so you won't succeed. As for Yun'er..."

Third Sister You hurriedly asked: "But is there any other reason?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Only Yun'er can do this. My second cousin can't."

"Why is this?"

"Although the imperial court has laws to encourage land reclamation, it is aimed at the common people, and the rich and powerful families cannot enjoy it. Not only can they not enjoy it, but it will also cause a lot of trouble."

When Third Sister You heard this, she became nervous: "Is that so?"

"Yes. This is to prevent Yin Tian and the slaves from taking officials and forcing people to rebel."

"I've heard of this! It's just taking the fertile land that other people have planted for several generations as their own land reclamation. Is that so?"

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Yes. The second elder sister once said that she can trust the conscience of the second cousin, but she can't trust the slaves in this mansion. Therefore, she will never let the slaves in this mansion go this way. People know. As for the clansmen on the back street, if they can find this way, if they can do well, she will not stop her."

Third Sister You chanted straight to the Buddha: "Amitabha! After all, she is the princess of the county, and she is thoughtful in her actions! It would be unexpected for us."

Lin Daiyu touched the Lantian jade bracelet in her hand, just smiled without opening her mouth.

After a while, Third Sister You asked again: "So, when will our second master be promoted? Three years, no, two years?"

Lin Daiyu said: "This is the fastest."

"But why?"

"Because the deficit in this mansion has not been cleaned up."

"deficit?"

"Yes." Lin Daiyu said, "Second sister once said that this mansion owed a total of 80 taels of silver to the state treasury. Before the rectification of the Lai family, Zhou Rui's family and their relatives, more than 20 taels of silver were paid back. But there is still a shortfall of nearly [-]. This is still a family in this mansion. There are so many dignitaries in Beijing that almost every household owes money to the treasury. The salaries of officials, the salaries of the army, and famine... It can be said that Wansui needs money everywhere , There is money in the treasury account, but there is no money and food in the treasury, only a pile of white bills, you say, will Long live be happy?"

"This...it turned out to be like this!"

Third Sister You was dumbfounded.

It never occurred to her that there was such a reason.

Lin Daiyu said: "I remember that time when the second sister came out of the palace, she was in a particularly bad mood. It is said that the second sister once begged for longevity, saying that the remaining more than one hundred thousand taels of silver was too much. I can't raise money, I hope Wansui can give it a grace period of two years. As a result, Wansui's face changed at that time, and he directly asked the second sister to kneel down."

"There is such a thing!"

Lin Daiyu said: "Second sister said that she has calculated all the methods she can think of, and it will take two or three years. Otherwise, the only way is to sell the land by pawning the house."

In this day and age, people always buy houses and land. Who sells houses and land properly?

If Jia Yan was the head of the Jia family, she would definitely choose to sell the house and land first, and pay back the shortfall first.When you earn enough money, you can buy the land back.

Supported by the memory of the original book, Jia Yan certainly knew that in the last five or six years, the emperor would start to liquidate, and a group of dignitaries would fall. At that time, it was a good time for her to buy back real estate at a bargain.

But can she tell Jia She about this kind of thing?

Can she convince Jia Amnesty?

Even after convincing Jia Amnesty, can you hide it from the clansmen?

It's all about it!

Therefore, even if he knew that repaying the deficit now would win the emperor's praise and favor, Jia Yan could only ask the emperor for a grace period of two years.

Third Sister You had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Since the young lady said so, then, does the young lady's family owe money to the treasury?"

Lin Daiyu replied: "Where is there no debt? It is said that my father fell in love with an ancient painting in the past, but he didn't have enough money around him, so he borrowed money from the treasury. But at the end of last year, I got a letter from my second sister, and I have It's still on."

In fact, with the financial resources of the Lin family, where is the need to borrow money from the treasury?It's just that everyone borrowed it. If you don't borrow it, you will look weird and you won't be able to start your work. That's why Lin Ruhai only borrowed 1000 taels of silver.

The Lin family can be said to be the most relaxed among all the people who owe money to the treasury.

Because Lin Ruhai originally borrowed 1000 taels of silver just to get along with the group.

It is those petty officials who are really suffering.

Originally, the salary was not high, the family was poor, and the family's livelihood was difficult, and the children below had to copy books to supplement the family.It can be said that if there is something wrong at home, we can only borrow money from the national treasury to support it.Now that the new king is in power, not only can he not borrow money, but he also has to pay back the past...

Lin Daiyu could tell that now the Supreme Emperor is still there, and Wansui's actions are hindered everywhere. In the future, when Wansui really holds power, at least half of the imperial court and various government offices will be vacant!

This Jia Yun, although he said he acted in a clever way, but every step he took was within the scope of the national law, and more importantly, he knew how to manage it!

It was obviously a capital of 1000 taels of silver, but he was able to get tens of thousands of acres of land, and there was no such thing as a bad record of occupying people's land!

This is the real reason why the emperor valued Jia Yun and granted him an official position.

From this matter, Lin Daiyu can see that the current emperor is the kind of Mingjun who does not love fame and seeks truth from facts. He may have a slight flaw in his character, but he is a good emperor for the common people.

It's a pity that although the current emperor himself is good, the following princes are all useless. Even if Long live today is working hard, I'm afraid this prosperity will only be a flash in the pan.
