Xichun is a Buddhist practitioner [Red Chamber]

Xie Changqing was not very happy in Princess Zhaohua's mansion, and his brother left them to play around again.

"You should feel relieved that he at least left the son to you." Seeing her husband's unhappy expression, Xie Changqing's wife comforted her, "Brother, he still treats you very well."

"But he became Marquis of Anyuan..." Xie Changqing said quietly.

"..." Mrs. Shizi thought for a while, and then said, "If you don't have the seat of Xuanninghou Shizi and inherit Xuanninghou's mansion, it is impossible for me to marry you."

In this way, her husband should be happier. Mrs. Shizi is thinking that her natal family is really interested in Xie Changqing's future. If Xie Changqing is just a wealthy son who cannot inherit the second son of the Hou family, maybe she will not be able to marry him. La.

Xie Changqing looked at his wife, that is to say, these people all value family status and want to be of the same family.After all, the family's carefully cultivated daughter-in-law, of course, wants the daughter-in-law to marry better, so it is impossible to marry anyone casually.

Although it is not selling a daughter, everyone will consider these issues. Even if a man marries a wife, the man's family will also look at the woman's family background and whether she is worthy of their son.

"Without your elder brother, it would be impossible for you to marry me." Mrs. Shi Zi winked at Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing said that the fact is indeed like this, why after hearing what his wife said, he felt that his wife was going to marry someone else instead of him, "Do you want to marry someone else?"

"It's the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I don't have this opportunity to marry someone else." Mrs. Shizi coughed lightly, she didn't like anyone else.Xuanninghou's mansion is quite good, with simple personnel. Xuanninghou only has one wife, Zhaohua, and Anyuanhou, Xie Changyun, has only one wife, Princess Tai'an.

Well, her husband, Xie Changqing, only has her as a wife now, and Mrs. Shizi still likes life here very much.

"If you were given a chance, would you marry someone else?" Xie Changqing frowned.

"No, Princess Zhaohua is very good, and this side is also good." Mrs. Shizi said, "It's not good to have wives and concubines in groups."

"..." Well, Xie Changqing felt that he was just incidental to his wife, and the other party didn't fancy him at all.

No matter what Xie Changqing thought, Xie Changyun and Jia Xichun still set off for the northwest.

Because Xie Changyun and Jia Xichun didn't intend to have children, and the emperor didn't mind granting Xie Changyun a marquis, anyway, there was only a false title, and no fiefdom or anything, it just looked good.

Don’t say that Xie’s family has three families, this one is different, one has no children, and the title will be taken back sooner or later, one is the child of Princess Zhaohua, who has to hang a carrot to do things, and one is Xuanpinghou’s mansion, The current Xuanping Hou Shizi is so pitiful, so let's face it.

Anyway, if they don't do well and just take their salary and don't do anything, then they should find a crime and punish them.That's how the historians cut off one family and two marquises in that way. The Xie family looks beautiful now, but in fact Xuanninghou makes people think that he is eating the soft food of Princess Zhaohua, and Xie Changyun relies on Tai'an Princess to become a marquis.

So this is not a good reputation at all. The emperor doesn't care about these things, and it's not that his reputation is bad, so why bother with those things.

"If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse." The emperor taught the emperor grandson this way.

The emperor's grandson has grown up, but he still often hears his emperor's grandfather say these words.

"There is a carrot hanging in front." The emperor grandson said, "That's what motivates them."

"Of course, these vain titles cannot be given casually." The emperor was not so capricious, "If they were given casually, they would be worthless."

"Yes." The emperor nodded. If you give it casually, it is really worthless, so you still have to be careful.

The emperor's grandson has studied for so many years, so he naturally knows a lot of things, and he has already started to help with political affairs.

Xie Changyun and Jia Xichun left the capital and went directly to the northwest, but they didn't stop on the road too much, and they didn't play while walking.

Until now, Jia Xichun didn't know that Xie Changyun had recovered the memory of the upper realm.After being with each other for a long time, she no longer thinks about who abandoned who. Instead of thinking about such a long-term thing, she might as well enjoy the present moment.

The climate in the northwest is not as good as that of the capital city, and the weather is getting worse all the way to the northwest.When Jia Xichun and the others arrived in the area under Jia Baoyu's jurisdiction, they felt that this place was really difficult, but luckily Jia Baoyu was still here.

Yangfeng City, this is where Jia Baoyu is located, he is the magistrate of Yangfeng City, and Beiqiu County is also within the area of ​​Yangfeng City.

Jia Baoyu didn't want to go to other places to be the magistrate, staying here is just right, he can help the people here, and he can also take care of Mrs. Wang nearby.Because Jia Baoyu has done a lot of things, the emperor also allowed him to take care of Mrs. Wang more openly.

Mrs. Wang still didn't go to Jia Baoyu's house, and she didn't go to put her mother-in-law's money.In order to make her son's life better, she didn't bother him too much. Sometimes she was very satisfied to see them bring their grandchildren to visit her.

In the past, she thought that if Jia Zheng could not marry and fill the house, she would have to occupy the position of main wife, but now, she just wanted to see more of her grandchildren.

Mrs. Wang did not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, did not live together, and the other party brought their children to see her from time to time, that was enough.

Many people in the Northwest know that Mrs. Wang is Jia Baoyu's biological mother, and that Mrs. Wang has committed crimes. They know that Mrs. Wang would rather suffer more than go to Jia Baoyu, because this is the price she has to pay. Who told her to lend loan sharks.

No one is perfect, and no one is perfect.Even though Mrs. Wang once gave loan sharks, many prostitutes were scattered.But because Mrs. Wang has performed very well these years, people in the village where Mrs. Wang lives treat her well and can chat with her.

Mrs. Wang didn't put on airs either, she was just like an ordinary old lady, chatting and doing things with the old ladies in the village.

Because of this, Jia Baoyu's reputation is also good.Those common people thought that Jia Baoyu set an example, he was not as good to his mother, and he didn't let his mother live in the house to enjoy the blessings, and they didn't think that others couldn't do it.

When Jia Xichun and Xie Changyun came, Jia Baoyu was not in the government office, but walked around the place below.Jia Baoyu likes to go to places and see more, so that he can better understand how the people in the area are doing and how to help them.

If you have been sitting in the government office and haven't gone out, you don't understand many things, let alone go to those things.

"He didn't come back so soon, probably in the evening." Jia Baoyu's wife, Mrs. Jia said, "How about this, I'll send someone to call him back."

"No need, let's go shopping in a while and come back tomorrow." Jia Xichun prevented the other party from calling Jia Baoyu back, "We will stay here for a while, don't worry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia was not in a hurry.She knew that her husband was doing things outside, and she didn't like others to disturb him at will. Unless it was something serious or urgent, he would rather do more things outside.

The princess of Tai'an came, and it was a meeting between relatives. Mrs. Jia didn't think Jia Baoyu would come back in a hurry, and it probably depended on how things were handled.How embarrassing it would be if my husband didn't come back after calling someone.

Fortunately, Princess Tai'an will stay here for a while, so he can just wait, which is much more convenient.

Jia Xichun brought some things over, and also gave Jia Baoyu's children a meeting gift.She knew that Jia Baoyu had a child, but she didn't come to the northwest to see her. When Mrs. Jia passed away, Jia Baoyu went back by herself. The journey was far away and the child was young, so she didn't take the child back.

After staying at Jia's house for a while, Jia Xichun and Xie Changyun left first.

In the evening, when Jia Baoyu came back, he learned that Jia Xichun had come to the northwest.He also returned to the capital when Mrs. Jia passed away and met his cousin.Since he came to the Northwest, they rarely met each other. Without that opportunity, the other party unexpectedly came to the Northwest.

"The princess is a very kind person." Mrs. Jia said that the princess of Tai'an didn't wait for him to come back, so she went back first, and came back another day. "I wanted someone to call you, but after coming and going The time is also long.”

Because of the long time, Mrs. Jia didn't dare to let Princess Tai'an wait, for such a long time, she couldn't just sit and drink tea.

"No problem." Jia Baoyu said, "I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

Jia Baoyu wasn't angry, and didn't think his wife did anything wrong, and she did it for him.

It was not until the next day when Jia Baoyu went to the inn that he saw Jia Xichun and Xie Changyun.

"Tai'an, when did you come?" Jia Baoyu didn't call her sister XX like before. Such a title would seem a bit young and ambiguous, so it's better to call her directly.

"I came the day before yesterday." Jia Xichun replied with a smile, "Yesterday I went to look for you, and saw that you were not here, so I came back first."

"I went to see the fields outside yesterday." Only by knowing what the fields produced by the people can we know how the people's life is going. You can't stay in the house and take it for granted how much food those fields can produce. Before Jia Baoyu I just heard people say how much food can be produced by one mu of land.

I heard it was just a rumor, and what I saw with my own eyes was not necessarily the case. Some people told him that one mu of land could not produce so much grain, and that after paying taxes, there was not much grain left.

Jia Baoyu usually ate rice and steamed buns made of white flour. When he went to the people's homes, he saw how poor their food was, and sometimes he would try it at home.There is too little rice in the porridge, just like water, how can such porridge be full?

But those people don't have enough food, so they have to live like this, eating less rice, even those white noodles, which are also expensive things.Ordinary people can't eat those white noodles all the time, but to eat other things, they have to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, so that they can eat some.

Since there are many people looking for wild vegetables in the mountains, some people can't find so many wild vegetables at all.

Jia Baoyu collected grain according to the tax law of the court, and he also had to consider the output of those people. If he could not reduce taxes and grain, he could only find ways to make those people grow more things and increase the output of grain.

He has never learned those agriculture, let people study it, how can such a thing be so easy to study.He heard that the imperial court had researched rice with a higher yield, but there were not so many paddy fields in the northwest, so it was still not enough. When the time came, rice with a higher yield could be planted, but it was not enough.

What to do with those people who don't want to grow high-yield rice, they have to find a way.

Jia Baoyu was worried, so he went to the fields more often. Maybe he couldn't research high-yield crops, so he could learn more knowledge.

"It's difficult for the common people to cultivate the land, so I should see more." Jia Baoyu said.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was much calmer, Jia Xichun thought that people still need to experience some tempering in order to see more things and learn more things.

"It's time to read more." Jia Xichun nodded, and replied solemnly, "The lobby sister asked me to bring some things to my aunt, and there is a letter from my uncle."

Jia Baoyu took the letter. His father didn't say much in the letter, but simply talked about the situation in the capital, so that he wouldn't have to worry and let him live a good life.

Jia Zheng hardly mentioned Mrs. Wang in his letters, even though Jia Baoyu sometimes mentioned Mrs. Wang in his letters.Jia Zheng also pretended not to see it, and never said anything about Mrs. Wang.From Jia Zheng's point of view, Mrs. Wang's usury made him almost lose his official position, and this original wife couldn't get married, which is really an eyesore.

"Auntie, let me go and have a look." Jia Yuanchun gave Jia Xichun some money to buy some food for Mrs. Wang, and the rest of the money was also given to Mrs. Wang. Of course Jia Xichun had to do it.Although she said that it is okay to let the servants do it, but she still wants to see how Mrs. Wang is doing now.

Mrs. Wang has been exiled to the Northwest for so many years, but she is still alive, which is enough to show how strong she is.Even though Jia Zheng gave up on her, even if the Wang family didn't pay much attention to her, she still kept going.

When Jia Yuanchun stayed in the cultivation world before, he knew how weak the ancients were. They often lost their lives because of a little wind and cold, and sometimes because of depression in their hearts, they easily lost their lives.This is also related to the backwardness of ancient medical skills. In the cultivation world, those mortals' medical skills are not very strong, but they are much better than here.

"Mother's life is pretty good." Jia Baoyu put away the letter, "Even if she lives in a small village, it's easy there, and she doesn't need so much money on weekdays."

Jia Baoyu had already built a house for Mrs. Wang, and two years ago she sent a woman to Mrs. Wang's side to take care of her.Mrs. Wang was getting old, and Jia Baoyu was worried that if something happened at that time, he was not in front of Mrs. Wang and didn't know about those things, so he sent a woman over there.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to reject this woman, she is an exiled person, how can she use a woman.But the son insisted again and again, Mrs. Wang let the woman stay, and she still did those things by herself.

People in the village didn't say much when they saw Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law. They also thought of Mrs. Wang as a woman, and she was so old. Master Jia was worried that something might happen to her, so it was normal for him to send someone to take care of her.

"If you don't need so much money, don't you need to put loan sharks?" Jia Xichun thought of this when he heard Jia Baoyu's words.

"Probably." Jia Baoyu didn't know what to say when he thought about his mother's usury back then.

It is quick to make money by lending usury, once you put usury, you are reluctant to break it, and you are reluctant to have such a high income, so you want to continue to put usury.

Jia Baoyu has also dealt with loan sharks during these years in the Northwest. Those loan sharks are like that, because they get money quickly from loan sharks, so they don't want to do other things.Those loan sharks are more or less related. If it weren't for the emperor's people around him, it would be difficult to deal with those people.

The protection of officials and officials, and the collusion between officials and businessmen really exist, and Jia Baoyu can feel it.Some things did not violate the law, and he would turn a blind eye to similar things, but if it was too much, it would not work.

The way to be an official is not that simple. Jia Baoyu is in the northwest because his father-in-law is a general and can protect him a little.Otherwise, these people in the northwest would have gnawed Jia Baoyu's bones.

At noon, Jia Xichun and Xie Changyun went to Jia Baoyu's house for dinner. Jia Baoyu and Xie Changyun chatted, and Jia Xichun occasionally said a few words to Mrs. Jia.After all, because they are not very familiar with each other, they have little to say.

Mrs. Jia didn't think that Princess Tai'an talked to her very little. After all, she has a high status, so it's very good to be able to talk to her so much, so it shouldn't be awkward.

At night, when Jia Baoyu entered the house, he did not forget to say something to his wife.

"In two days, you can take Tai'an and the others to meet their mother." Although Jia Baoyu is Mrs. Wang's son, he is a man after all, so it is not good for him to sit and chat with their women, so it is appropriate for his wife to go there.He could take his cousin-in-law for a walk and avoid embarrassment.

"Then I'll have someone tell my mother tomorrow." Mrs. Jia had done her job properly, so her mother-in-law might be frightened, so she told her in advance.

Mrs. Jia knew that Mrs. Wang didn't have much to deal with Princess Tai'an in the past, and it had been so many years, and those things should have disappeared.However, she didn't know the specifics of the year. She knew that the Northwest where Mrs. Wang was exiled was to release usury on the one hand, and disrespect the princess of Tai'an who was personally appointed by the emperor on the other hand.

She didn't know whether her mother-in-law resented Princess Tai'an. After all, Princess Tai'an lived so well, but her mother-in-law was exiled to the northwest, and her life was not as good as before. The difference between heaven and earth.

Even if Mrs. Jia saw that Mrs. Wang's life was going well these years, there were some things that could be kept in her heart for a long time.

"Okay." Jia Baoyu didn't think too much, he just wanted to tell his mother first, and then he wouldn't be in a hurry.Tai'an's identity is placed there, so I can't pour a glass of well water for others to drink, and I have to prepare a little food, "Send some money and prepare some meals."

When Jia Baoyu went by himself, he didn't care about the simple food.But in the face of Princess Tai'an, Jia Baoyu still hoped that his mother would be more prepared, and he did not want any misunderstanding between his cousin and mother.

When Mrs. Wang learned that Princess Tai'an had come to the northwest and wanted to come to see her, she thought of those things that happened in Rongguo Mansion back then.It would be a lie to say that she didn't complain about Princess Tai'an, but she hated Jia Zheng even more. On Princess Tai'an's side, she really didn't like Princess Tai'an, and sometimes she didn't give him face.

"Prepare some meat." Mrs. Wang said to the old woman, "See if Ah Fa has any new prey. If there is a wild rabbit, buy one and make fried rabbit meat with hot pepper."

Mrs. Wang remembered that Princess Tai'an seemed to like eating meat at that time, she didn't want to become a monk, she didn't want to shave off her beautiful hair, she didn't want to be a vegetarian, she wanted to eat a lot of food.Lin Qi of the Lin family kept a lot of rabbits just for food. Sometimes she saw the rabbit of Princess Tai'an and ate the big white rabbit, but Princess Tai'an didn't eat the white rabbit and asked the kitchen to buy rabbits.
