[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

After sending the emperor away, Jia She stopped his daughter who was about to go back: "Your Majesty! You, why did you mention this matter of Xuanhui Mansion to Long Live?! Didn't you offend Xuanhui Mansion by opening your mouth?"

If you offend the Xuanhui Mansion, what will those officials do if they tamper with your expenses?

It's not that Jia She is careless, but this is very possible.

Jia Yan smiled and said: "Father, don't you understand? The second prince's biological mother, the virtuous concubine, and the fourth prince's biological mother, the German concubine, are all concubines with real power who have the power to assist the sixth palace. The old affairs of the emperor's harem are like lessons learned from the past. ,Why doesn’t my daughter worry? Just respond to the old saying, only a woman and a villain are hard to raise! Whoever makes a daughter devote herself to being a woman can’t be a gentleman, so she can simply be a villain to the end. If there is no such thing, it is because of the daughter The heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman. If...then the daughter enters the palace in the future, she will have a greater hope of giving birth to her own child."

These words not only moved Mrs. Jia Shexing's heart, but also the hearts of many eunuchs and female officials headed by He Shangshi Wen Shangshi and Si Zan Shaojian who followed Jia Yan.

They are serving Jia Yan now. Of course, the richer Jia Yan will be in the future, the more decent they will be.If Jia Yan can't produce, what hope do they have?

A concubine who does not want to be the queen mother is not a good concubine, and similarly, a master who does not want to serve herself is not a good palace man who does not want to be the queen mother's servant.

Only when Jia Yan entered the palace safely, only when Jia Yan gave birth to the little prince, and only when Jia Yan became the queen mother, could they have a peaceful old age.

Jia Yan offended Xuanhui Mansion because she was thinking about her own future, so why not work hard for their future?

For people like them, it would be a headache if they followed a master who had nothing to do with the world.

After all, in the place of the imperial palace, it is really terrible to be indifferent to the world.

They are not afraid that the master will not fight, but they are afraid of meeting a master who does not want to fight.

If you don't want to fight but think about the pie in the sky, that's just a dream.

Mrs. Xing even knew about the affairs of the Empress Dowager's Palace from the mouth of the Huang Pozi who was next to Yan Biju. As the companion of the old Prince Yizhong, how could Jia She, who had stayed in the palace for a long time, not know about it?

It has been several years since the emperor ascended the throne, and the queen's health is up and down, and Mrs. Zhu is a person who likes romance and loves nothing but power. It can be said that the concubine Xian and Concubine De seem inconspicuous, but in fact they have a lot of power in the court .

If these two are doing something behind the scenes, if they join forces to target Jia Yan, then it is really unknown whether Jia Yan will be able to give birth to her child safely.

If Jia Yan can't bear children, what is she going to do in the palace?

If possible, Jia Amnesty also hoped that his daughter would not have to enter the palace, but the fact is that his daughter has already had to enter the palace.Since she wanted to enter the palace, she naturally wanted to live a good life.The current emperor is more than 20 years older than Jia Yan. If there is no son, Jia Yan's old age will be extremely bleak.

Therefore, instead of passively parrying, it is better to draw the emperor's attention to the harem.

As for the Xuanhui Mansion, it is just a name.

Because Xuanhui Mansion supplies the inner court, it will definitely have something to do with Ye Tingling and the harem, and the current emperor likes to get to the bottom of it. As long as he starts to investigate, he will definitely check everything in the harem Clear and clear.

Now, the emperor's attention is all on the previous dynasty, but no emperor can bear his heirs in the hands of others, and the current emperor is a very controlling one, as long as the emperor shifts his gaze to In the harem, as long as the emperor checks the Xuanhui Mansion, it doesn't matter if those concubines have no tricks behind their backs. If there is a trick, the emperor will definitely chop off their paws first!

It will take several years for Jia Yan to enter the palace. Those women entered the palace five or six years earlier than Jia Yan, which has a great advantage.

But so what?

As long as the emperor makes a move, then when Jia Yan enters the palace a few years later, she will be on the same starting line as those women, and even have some advantages.

It's just that these women didn't intervene in Xuanhui Mansion. Don't forget, the Supreme Emperor is also in the palace!

There are no two days in this day, and there are no two masters in the country, but the current emperor is still sitting on top of the emperor!

Jia Yan didn't believe that the Supreme Emperor had no one in Xuanhui Mansion; Jia Yan also didn't believe that the Supreme Emperor's concubines had no hidden hands in Xuanhui Mansion.

In short, in the next three years, Xuanhui Mansion will definitely become the focus of competition among the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Empress Palace, the current emperor, and the emperor's harem.

Of course, no matter how it develops in the end, no matter whether you like it or not, the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor will definitely fight again for the Xuanhui Mansion. Huifu was cleaned up and down.

Regardless of the actual situation of Xuanhui Mansion and what will happen in the future, the emperor will find a way to hold Xuanhui Mansion firmly in his own hands just for his own safety and his heirs.

No matter how many open and covert battles there will be around the Xuanhui Mansion in the next three years, for Jia Yan, she has already completed the work of scoring points in front of the emperor, and the rest is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits.

As for whether the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor will punish her for this?

Give me a break!

Not to mention concubines, even the queen is also responsible for spreading the branches and leaves for the royal family. If she doesn't want to have children, that's a big problem!

Today Jia Yan and Mrs. Jia Shexing's words reached the ears of the emperor and the Supreme Emperor. Could the two kings punish Jia Yan for the reason that Jia Yan wanted to have a child for the emperor?

No.

Instead, they had to comfort Jia Yanduo.

Especially the emperor, he would also like to thank Jia Yan for his reminder.

After all, there is already a Queen Wei in this world, and whoever is the first will be the second. No one can guarantee that he will never be recruited.

Therefore, before Xiaonian, the emperor issued two decrees again, one was for the Lin family and Lin Daiyu. The next two court ladies are the nuns, which can be regarded as affirmation of Lin Ruhai's ability and guarding the Jiangnan Salt Administration for many years.

The second one is still for Jia Yan.Although the emperor did not give Jia amnesty or promotion to the title, but in addition to the share given to Concubine Shu by the inner court every year, there is another share in the emperor's private treasury—mainly clothing materials and jewelry, the amount is about Shu Thirty percent of the imperial concubine's harem share—for Jia Yan, is regarded as a special subsidy and favor to Jia Yan.

Although this subsidy is not comparable to noble Zhu, it is the only subsidy under the empress and noble Zhu, so it is naturally extremely eye-catching.

Although the queen thought it was not easy for Jia Yan to be outside the palace, so she put it down lightly, but nobleman Zhu had been thinking about it in secret for several days, not to mention the other concubines, especially the second prince's biological mother Xianfei and the fourth prince. His biological mother, Concubine De, is gone.

Then there is the Yan family.Because they are far away in Lingnan, they got the news much later than others, but their sincerity is strong. In addition to contributing money and efforts to the royal palace that Jia's family is planning to build, they also pay extra attention every quarter and every year. Honor Jia Yan's countless clothing and jewelry, not to mention the clothing, but the jewelry, each time exceeding the number of ten thousand gold (that is, worth more than 1 taels of silver).While the Yan family respected Jia Yan, they did not forget Mrs. Xing. Although each time they honored Mrs. Xing, there were only two sets of jewelry with a total value of three or four thousand silver, but these jewelry were magnificent, extremely rich and dignified, and they were more luxurious than Mrs. Wang Xifeng. There are almost as many head and face jewelry as there are.

This brought Mrs. Xing's daily attire to at least a new level!

Xue Baochai, who got the news, was very anxious, but the various properties of their Xue family were depleted day by day, so they couldn't come up with so much money at once, and she couldn't do anything about it.

And she also knows that most of the jewelry in the Central Plains now comes in from the Silk Road in the west and the sea route in the south. Since the Yan family is a maritime merchant, there is no shortage of jewelry in their hands, and it is easier than others to get top-level, Jewelry like Western crystal glass.But their Xue family can't do it, who made their family's original job is to buy miscellaneous materials for the palace with the money?

They can't even reach the rough jewelry, let alone like the Yan family, they donate high-quality jewelry every year, festivals and seasons.

This is simply a bottomless pit within a bottomless pit.

For a moment, Xue Baochai wanted to know if the Yan family knew that it was because of Jia Yan that they were cut off from Xuanhui Mansion, would they hate Jia Yan because of it.

Although he was mad with jealousy and hatred in his heart, Xue Baochai still tried his best to please Jia Yan.

After finally collecting the money, it was already the first month of the second year.

Xue Baochai didn't care too much. After sending 15 taels of silver to Mrs. Jia Shexing, she didn't forget to send the other 5 taels of silver to Jia Yan in person.

That day, the sisters, apart from Lin Daiyu who was keeping a filial piety in the courtyard next door, Tanchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun were all in front of Jia Yan.

It's not that Xue Baochai doesn't want to find an opportunity in private, but Jia Yan is so different from her now, and she has nothing to do, because except for Shi Xiangyun's light, she can't see Jia Yan at all, let alone talk to him. Jia Yan spoke.

Therefore, when presenting this small box full of banknotes, although Xue Baochai pretended to be calm on the surface, she was actually full of shame, but because of her habitual pride and deep-seated inferiority complex, she did not feel ashamed. Yu lost his composure on the spot, but there was still a bit of stiffness in his demeanor.

What made Xue Baochai feel humiliated was that Jia Yan just glanced at the box in her hand and didn't open it, but said indifferently: "Sister Bao, what is this thing? And why did you give it to me? If there is no serious reason, I won’t accept it.”

Xue Baochai was really heartbroken at that time.

Now, she turned out to be almost ineligible to even give Jia Yan a gift.

Recalling this time last year, in front of Jia Mu, she still sat on top of Jia Yan relying on the relationship between the guest and Mrs. Wang, but now, the two of them are so different, even she thought that from now on, she would sit on top of Jia Yan. Lin Daiyu, who had no one to rely on and could only be manipulated by others, also became the second-class county king appointed by the imperial court.

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu wanted to be filial, so she wasn't here, otherwise, she would have kowtowed to Lin Daiyu.

Xue Baochai gritted her teeth, and finally endured the shame and shame, and said: "Your Majesty is laughing at you. Two years ago, Your Majesty mentioned me specially, but I was stupid and always thought that my uncle would help me, but in the end I was My brother's matter has been dragged on until today... I, I have no other choice, so I want to ask my mother... I beg my mother to help me...help, help me with my brother's lawsuit."

God knows how much effort Xue Baochai spent when he said these words!

If Jia Yan wasn't an imperial concubine, she wouldn't need such a big pomp, and naturally Xue Baochai wouldn't have to lose face in front of Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, whom she had always looked down upon.However, if Jia Yan was not the imperial concubine, Xue Baochai would not come to beg Jia Yan.

Some things are really destined.

In other words, some people really don't want to see the Yellow River.

Jia Yan stared fixedly at Xue Baochai who was kneeling below, making Xue Baochai start to feel uneasy, and seeing Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but plead for her:

"Second sister, can you let sister Bao get up first? Kneeling, it's strange."

Both Tanchun and Xichun laughed and said: "Sister Yun (Sister Yun), you only remember your sister Bao, have you forgotten that you are also kneeling at the moment? Sister Bao just has one less mat than you. "

This flower hall was originally a Han and Tang style building, so everyone sat on their knees, that is, they sat in the front seat.It's just that Jia Yan, Tanchun, Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun still have a cushion, but Xue Baochai has nothing.

Jia Yan also laughed: "It should be that Sister Yun is not used to sitting on her knees. Forget it, Sister Yun, you can do whatever you want."

Jia Yan had noticed Shi Xiangyun's small movements a long time ago, so he didn't stick to Shi Xiangyun.

When Shi Xiangyun heard that he was about to receive an amnesty, he quickly changed to sitting cross-legged.

After Shi Xiangyun adjusted his sitting posture, Jia Yanzai said to Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, I roughly understand what you mean. But this case has been finalized in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it will not be easy to turn around. Sister Bao, be mentally prepared Yet?"

Xue Baochai thought there was no room for manoeuvre, and her heart was half discouraged, but now that she heard that it was not easy, how could she dare to care about it?

Immediately, Xue Baochai kowtowed to Jia Yan and said, "Please show me, Madam."

Jia Yan thought for a while, and said, "Even this method will make Sister Bao have a sister-in-law who can't show her identity?"

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment.

She didn't understand what Jia Yan meant, but she had no other choice now, so she could only bow again and beg for Jia Yan's guidance.

"But according to my mother's teaching."

Jia Yan said quickly: "The case set by Yingtian Mansion, apart from Long Live, only Jingzhao Mansion can overturn and retry it. But the crux of your brother's case is that the dead Feng Yuan is a country gentleman, not an ordinary person, and more He is not a sinner like a lowly citizen or even a kidnapper. Moreover, in the case file, your brother has been convicted of beating someone to death, so it is not easy to start from this."

Xue Baochai said: "Your Majesty, if you want to change the sentence of my brother's case, should you start with this?"

Jia Yan nodded: "Smart. That's right. The case has been settled for several years. If you go to the court to appeal for injustice and say that there was no such thing as beating, Jingzhao Mansion will not stand by your side."

It was stated on the case file that someone was beaten to death, but the Xue family insisted that there was no such thing, and the Jingzhao Mansion would simply throw the case file aside.

Xue Baochai said: "Then, if you dare to ask your mother, what should our family do?"

She still doesn't understand.

Jia Yan said: "For Jingzhao Mansion to stand on your side, it must be the case of extrajudicial favor, for example, the revenge of killing the father, or for example, the hatred of taking the wife."

Xue Baochai was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, you mean, you want my brother to marry Xiangling?"

It was extremely difficult for Xue Baochai to say this sentence.

Among other things, neither Aunt Xue nor Xue Baochai looked down on Xiangling.Even though Xiangling's appearance is really good and her temper is good, Xiangling is a girl after all.

Taking a maidservant as a wife is a violation of the law, and it is very, very shameful.

Asking Xue Baochai to ask Xiangling to be Xue Pan's concubine, she has no objection.However, she simply cannot accept Xiangling as her serious sister-in-law.

Jia Yan said: "I don't think you understand what I mean. What I mean is that you, your mother, and your brother must all speak out, saying that this Xiangling was originally married by your brother's fingertips." Fiancée, the two families have already exchanged tokens, I don’t want to, because one year, by the way, does Xiangling remember her childhood?”

Xue Baochai didn't want to answer, but she had to answer, so she could only say dryly: "She said it, but she doesn't remember."

Jia Yan said: "Don't remember? Then, she fell into the hands of the kidnapper at about three or four years old? You can say that she was kidnapped by the kidnapper when she was three or four years old. Because your family has been thinking about it , That's why your elder brother became furious when he saw Xiangling for the first time, when he saw the rouge mole between her brows, so he shot too hard, beat the kidnapper to death on the spot and beat Feng Yuan to death Seriously injured. The hatred of taking his wife is really a great shame for a man. By the way, I remember someone said that Xiangling's accent is a bit like sister Lin. Before going to Jingzhao Mansion to complain, remember to go to Yangzhou or Suzhou to find out. See if there is such a family who lost a three or four-year-old girl more than ten years ago. Only after the two families have prepared a statement can they reverse the case for your brother."

Xue Baochai was feeling uncomfortable, but Shi Xiangyun said beside her: "Second Sister, in this way, Xiangling is a good citizen, right? She can be Sister Bao's sister-in-law, right?"

Although Shi Xiangyun is lacking in upbringing, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything.

Among other things, she knew about Lin Daiyu.In the original book, Shi Xiangyun targeted Lin Daiyu, firstly because Lin Daiyu had the support of Jia Mu and was a popular candidate for Bao’s second grandmother, and secondly, when the sisters were all around, Jia Baoyu’s attention was all on Lin Daiyu and he would not pay attention to her at all, so She was very upset, because in her heart, she was the one who grew up with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu's closeness with Lin Daiyu meant that Lin Daiyu had snatched away her most important friend.

But now, first of all, Lin Daiyu is not close to Jia Baoyu, although Jia Baoyu is equally obsessed with Lin Daiyu's appearance, bearing and talent, but Lin Daiyu has Jia Yan's help, so she is far away from Jia Baoyu everywhere; secondly, although Lin Daiyu has lost her parents and has become an orphan, But Lin Daiyu is rich and has the imperial seal of the imperial court, as well as Jia Yan's protection. She is no longer someone Jia Baoyu can match, nor is she able to offend her. Therefore, Shi Xiangyun, who is good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, is not Will provoke Lin Daiyu and speak ill of Lin Daiyu, which makes Jia Yan unhappy.

However, Shi Xiangyun also vaguely knew that Mrs. Wang Jia Yuanchun had offended the emperor. She also knew that because Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun were two, it was impossible for Jia Baoyu to marry a famous lady.

That is to say, if she still prefers Jia Baoyu, then Xue Baochai is her strong enemy.

It is because of this mentality that Shi Xiangyun has a little more hostility towards Xue Baochai deep in his heart.

In addition, every time she was with Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu's attention was on Xue Baochai. Even if Xue Baochai left early every time, Jia Baoyu would still mention Xue Baochai in front of her, which made her very, very uncomfortable.

If you are uncomfortable, you will naturally have to run on words.

This is Shi Xiangyun.

Jia Yan looked at Xue Baochai, then at Shi Xiangyun, and said: "Yes. The Xue family must treat Xiangling with the respect of a serious wife, so that the officials of Jingzhao Mansion can feel that the Xue family, especially Big Brother Xue He has a deep love for Xiangling, so he will stand by the Xue family and treat big brother Xue lightly. Otherwise, big brother Xue would not be able to escape the iron law of killing for life."

Jia Yan's voice pierced Xue Baochai's heart like a sharp knife.

Xue Baochai knew very well that, not to mention her, even her mother was unwilling to accept Xiangling as the young mistress of their Xue family, but Xue Baochai also knew that if this could save Xue Pan, Aunt Xue would eventually be able to save her. Will still do it.

If you accept Xiangling, you can save your brother, and their Xue family is not an extinct family; if you don’t accept Xiangling, her brother is still legally dead, and their Xue family is an extinct family. people despise, despise...

Xue Baochai felt very uncomfortable, but the upbringing she received made her accept Jia Yan's method.

There is no way, Jia Yan is not Mrs. Wang Xifeng, and she will definitely not help them to clear up the relationship between Jingzhao Mansion.As for Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, God knows what they will do for money.

Having already suffered a loss, will Xue Baochai continue to listen to Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and then fall into the same pit twice?

Soon, the Xue family sent people to the south to investigate.Of course, they didn't go into details. They just heard that there was such a family near the Gourd Temple in Suzhou back then. The man was called Zhen Shiyin. One was clean and moved away.

The Xue family didn't intend to marry this family at first, but they just used Zhen Shiyin's name to reverse Xue Pan's case, but they didn't want to, Jingzhao Mansion really found Feng for them, and made them deny it There is no excuse for him, so Xue Pan can only honestly let Xue Pan formally marry Zhen Yinglian, that is, Xiangling, as his wife, and also raise Feng's family by the way.

Of course, this is a story.

Let's say that after Xue Baochai offered the money and got Jia Yan's words, he had to get up and leave because of his shame.

As soon as Xue Baochai left, Jia Yan opened the box, and from the 5 taels of silver bills, he counted three 5000 taels of silver bills and packed them in blue lotus. Tanchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun each had one:

"Come, everyone who sees has a share. Everyone has a share."

That's all for Xichun, anyway, her own father is back, and he is still in charge of the big and small affairs of Ningguo Mansion and the Jia clan, it is impossible for anyone to treat her badly, but Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun are in trouble.

Tanchun knew very well that the concubine daughter of the Jia family will be given five thousand to ten thousand taels of silver as a dowry when she goes out in the future.If Jia Yan's status has not changed, if Jia Yan is still the original Jia Yingchun, her dowry will be no more than 1 taels of silver at most.If it were her, Jia Tanchun, who was begging for a living under the kind-hearted Mrs. Wang, she would have a dowry of 1 taels, and it would depend on whether her aunt's noble hand would not deduct it from it.

The 5000 taels of silver may not seem like much, but it is actually worth a pair of dowry.

Tanchun knew that this was the cousin's private subsidy.With the 5000 taels of silver as a base, she is not afraid of a slightly less dowry in the future.

Therefore, seeing such a purse thrown into his arms, Tanchun felt extremely hot.

Holding the purse, she looked at Jia Yan with some shame and said, "Second Sister..."

However, Shi Xiangyun happily stuffed his purse into his sleeve, and said cheerfully, "Thank you, Second Sister. I won't be polite."

Not only Tanchun is short of money, but Shi Xiangyun is also short of money.

The Shi family began to be short-lived in the early years, so the wives, grandmas, and girls of the Shi family were not as relaxed as the girls of the Jia family. Even Shi Xiangyun's aunts, the two wives of the Shi family were also inseparable in private.

Compared with the girls of the Jia family, Shi Xiangyun only has a few strings of money every month, not to mention Jia Yan Tanchun and others who cut off the makeup money before they cut off the makeup of two taels of silver a month After the money, Tanchun's monthly money is more than her!

Over the years, Shi Xiangyun has grown up year by year, and he has also calculated in private how much money he will have after he gets married in the future.

What Shi Xiangyun is most afraid of is that the historian will not give her a dowry in the future, let alone her mother's dowry.

5000 taels of silver is a little less as a dowry for a prostitute like Shi Xiangyun who came from the Duke's mansion, but it is not a lot as a box money.

Although Shi Xiangyun was curious whether Jia Yan would give it to Lin Daiyu, but considering Jia Yan's current status, she did not dare to ask.

Tanchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun sat down for a while and left.

As soon as they left, Jia Yan immediately drew another 5000 taels of silver bills from her private room to make up 5 taels, and then changed into plain clothes and jewelry and came to Lin Daiyu's room.

Lin Daiyu's and Jia Yan's yards have the same layout, but Lin Daiyu's here has a lot of boxes and cages, so the two sisters can only talk in Lin Daiyu's bedroom.

After the two sisters had met the ceremony, Jia Yan sat down on the big kang in Lin Daiyu's bedroom by the window. Across the kang table, Lin Daiyu also sat with her in full dress.

Jia Yan immediately returned the box full of banknotes to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was startled: "Second Sister!"

Jia Yan said, "Sister, take it."

Lin Daiyu quickly pushed the box over: "Second sister helped me a lot. Where else can I ask for money from second sister?"

Jia Yan said, "Sister Lin also cheated on me?"

After a pause, he continued: "It's because I don't know enough about the laws of the imperial court. I even forgot that the land of the Lin family is for the Lin family. I handed over the matter of the camphor wood to Sister Lin. My younger sister used the money left by my aunt to buy camphor wood. How can I feel better about this?"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said: "Look at what the second sister said. The second sister and uncle treat me like a sister and love me, and the other has protected me for so many years. Now that the uncle's family is going to build a palace with all their money, why should I just sit idly by? If the second sister is like this, I, I will have no face to live here."

Jia Yan pushed the box full of banknotes over again, and said, "What's more. You have brought all the old people of your Lin family for several lifetimes when you came to Beijing this time. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to do it for yourself." These people think about it! Without money, what do you use to support them? Take it quickly! Otherwise, I will be annoyed."

Lin Daiyu still shook her head and said, "Second sister, to tell you the truth, when my father left, he also left me 5 taels. I can do whatever I can..."

Jia Yan said: "Then you only kept 1 taels for yourself, and the rest was used to buy camphor wood, right?"

Lin Daiyu whispered: "Housekeeper Wang is used to it. 4 taels is more than enough, and there is still left..."

But in the end, her voice gradually lowered under Jia Yan's more serious eyes.

When Lin Daiyu stopped talking, Jia Yan said: "Come on, it seems that if I don't tell you the truth, you won't accept the money. Well, I'll tell the truth. I just like you These people from the Lin family, and your current status."

According to the national law, parents do not accumulate private property, which is clearly written in the national law.Therefore, like Jia Lian, Jia Yan and Jia Cong, even if they have a lot of money in their hands, they are not eligible to buy real estate and real estate.

However, Lin Daiyu's parents are both dead now. From the moment she became the county monarch, she is a female householder in the national law. She has her own household registration and can buy land, real estate and real estate.

What Jia Yan needed was to let Lin Daiyu's housekeepers of the Lin family go to Shandong to buy land and hire a lot of people to help stabilize Shandong.

After hearing Jia Yan's intentions, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Second sister, don't worry, Housekeeper Wang has already done this."

As early as the day when she returned to Jia's house again, Lin Daiyu took out 4 taels of silver.She originally thought that in a family like the Jia family, the marriage of a concubine's daughter is only five thousand to ten thousand taels of silver as a dowry, and the marriage of a concubine's daughter is only three to fifty thousand taels of silver.Like her, with those antiques, calligraphy and paintings left by her parents and the Lin family for several lifetimes, it is more than enough to keep 1 taels of silver around.Therefore, it should be enough to spend 1 taels of silver to buy the camphor wood needed for this palace.

She didn't want Wang Cheng, the chief housekeeper of the Lin family, to be more capable than she imagined.

Wang Cheng directly found the patriarch of the Lin clan, took out Jia Yan's identity and Lin Daiyu's current identity, and after talking with the patriarch of the Lin clan, with the help of the Lin clan, he bought enough money for 8000 taels of silver. The camphor wood was built, and the palace was built and the furniture was made, and [-]% more came out.

Wang Cheng kept part of the remaining 2 taels of silver—he still needs to talk to Lin Zhixiao and the Yan family to get enough sweet potato seedlings, chicken seedlings, duck seedlings, and goose seedlings to feed the people below. millet, sweet potato.

After all, if you want to hire people to open up wasteland, it is impossible not to feed them-the rest is distributed to three stewards, and these three stewards have now taken people to Shandong.

Jiangnan has a strong literary style, so there are a lot of people who pass the Jinshi examination every year. This time, there are also several new Jinshi who were appointed to Shandong as county magistrates.

Originally, it is the affection of the local people, and it helps to stabilize the hearts of the people. Even if Lin Daiyu is a woman, there is a lot of self-interest in buying a lot of land. However, this kind of thing is what the officials like to see.

Therefore, even if there is only 5000 taels of silver, and it is an unfamiliar place, there is still a lot to do.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yan said, "Sure enough, it's Sister Lin, who even thought of going with me. But last year, not only Jilu land, but also Yuzhou had a locust plague, but it was not as serious as Lu land, so we never got any news. That's all. Therefore, the money still needs to be accepted by my sister."

Lin Daiyu sighed softly, and said, "Yuzhou? If that's the case, I'll take this money as if I borrowed it from my second sister."

"It's okay." Jia Yan said bluntly, teasing Lin Daiyu again: "Then should you write me an IOU?"

"Okay. Get a pen!"

Of course Lin Daiyu is not to be outdone.

If there is no other reason, of course Lin Daiyu would not accept Jia Yan's money, but since Jia Yan has already talked about this, Lin Daiyu naturally wants to accept it.

It has to be said that the quality of servants of the Lin family is much better than that of the Jia family.

Probably this has something to do with the family style of the Lin family.

The stewards of the Lin family quickly established eight villages in Yuzhou and Qilu. The ones relying on the mountains grow sweet potatoes, the ones relying on the water grow bamboo shoots, lotus vegetables and other seasonal vegetables that are not afraid of flooding. Of course, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. Breeding will definitely not be less.

The Lin family also specially learned the recipes for raising earthworms and maggots, brought the locals together to raise chickens, ducks and geese, and even organized local women to weave countless gorgeous and beautiful silk fabrics with chicken, duck and goose feathers mixed with local catalpa silk. Warm clothing comes.

Because the Lin family is good at management, even if Lin Ruhai gave the Lin family's real estate and the Lin family's old house in the capital to the Lin family, leaving behind only a small village of two or three hundred acres in the suburbs of Beijing. However, soon, Lin Daiyu became a big landlord again.
