Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber
Chapter 50: Jia Lang's Advice, Jia Lian's Promotion
Everyone sent gifts, but Lin Daiyu didn't.Everyone started making troubles against Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu wanted to spit on them, but she saw Jia Lang looking at her with a smile, and blushed for a moment.
Wang Xifeng saw that everyone was arguing about Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu was about to run away, so she interrupted.Casually making a haha made everyone burst into laughter, and forgot to ask for Lin Daiyu's farewell gift.
After playing around for a while, Jia Lang made an excuse of 'going to report to the official department tomorrow' and left early.
Lin Daiyu thought about the gift she hadn't given yet, so she also found an excuse to leave.
The two are one in front and one behind, the one in front is not walking fast, and the one behind is not rushing too fast.
Listening to the noisy footsteps, Jia Lang couldn't hear Lin Daiyu's landing, but Lin Daiyu could see Jia Lang's shadow on the ground.
The two didn't say a word until they returned to the yard, Sangzhu and the others didn't understand what their young lady was thinking.
Why didn't he say anything when he was clearly chasing after him.
Lin Daiyu walked to the corner of the same wall as Lixiangyuan, and ordered the servant girl to put her qin on it.
The faint sound of the piano sounded slowly.
Jia Lang is now in the gazebo, drinking wine and looking at the moon.
The painting given by Xichun was hung in front of his eyes by Yuliu.
Feeling drunk, Jia Lang shook his head, pulled the painting in front of him, and flicked it vigorously, the painting actually 'floated' to the wall of the next courtyard.
The painting scroll fell on the strings and made a 'clank' sound.
The sound of the piano was suddenly interrupted.
Lin Daiyu was taken aback by this sudden change, and when she saw the object that fell from the sky, she couldn't help being stunned.
"This painting, why is it wet?" Sang Zhu took the painting and flattened it to see that some places on it were blurred.
Daiyu looked over quickly, and when she saw it clearly, she turned her head and went back to her room.
Sangzhu and Yuliu also took a closer look, and immediately smiled at each other.
Originally, the theme of this painting was Jia Lang and Lin Daiyu. Because of layout problems, Jia Lang was on top and Lin Daiyu was on the bottom.Everyone else is around.
The others were already indistinct, but now Jia Lang's unintentional smear of wine is completely invisible to others.Fortunately, Jia Lang and Lin Daiyu are the only ones left.
Sangzhu unfolded the painting and held it up like this, and then entered the room with both hands raised.Put it on the desk and flatten it with a stone so that the wet place won't wrinkle.
When Lin Daiyu woke up the next day and saw the painting, she immediately scolded Sangzhu, Yuliu, and repeatedly asked them to put the painting away.
Speaking of which, after Jia Lang got drunk, he didn't remember what he was doing at all, so he went back to the bed and went straight to sleep.
Qingchan and Yaolan hurriedly helped to take off their clothes and wipe their faces, knowing that Jia Lang never liked others approaching, so they dared to take off his coat, shoes and socks.
He hurriedly ordered the servant to prepare the materials for sobering up, and let the kitchen cook it first in the morning.
On the second day, Jia Lang recalled last night, feeling embarrassed.
However, it is not good to rush over.
On the contrary, before he left the house, he received a gift from Lin Daiyu, a pouch with a light blue background and colorful flasks embroidered on it.
This is the second time he has received a purse from Lin Daiyu.
Because of her poor health, everyone never explicitly asked her to be a female celebrity, just relying on her happiness.
Rather than being a female celebrity, Lin Daiyu would rather read books.It has been more than a year since he came to Jia's mansion, and he is the only female celebrity who has done his best.
Jia Lang didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and wanted to tell Qing Chan to keep it safe, but Qing Chan was the first to tie it around Jia Lang's waist.
Jia Lang felt that he couldn't see Lin Daiyu again today, so what to do.But after thinking about it, it's a bit of a fuss to make a fuss if the system is all tied up and taken off.
He tugged his sleeves and went out.
The little girl who had been guarding outside saw Jia Lang coming out, so she took a few more glances at Jia Lang's waist, turned around and left.
Jia Lang didn't have the idea to come here, so he went out to sit in a sedan chair.When he came to the Ministry of Officials, he took the official robe and the flower feather on his top, and took the documents with both hands, and he officially became the magistrate of the fourth rank.
If these things are missing, he is not an official.
Originally, the official robes had to be bought by the officials themselves, but for junior officials of the seventh rank, it would cost one or two hundred taels, and the increase would be doubled.
Jia Lang's official robe cost at least 1000 taels, and Jia Lang was not short of this amount, but the officials would not dare to ask Jia Lang for it.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said this to Jia Lang very kindly, and never mentioned the cost of the official robes.
As soon as he changed into his official robe, a little father-in-law came to Jia Lang and asked Jia Lang to go to the imperial garden to face the saint.
All the officials were even more affectionate, they only hated that their son was not Jia Lang, and all envied and hated Jia Shena, Jia Lang's father.
This Jia She is sensual and sensual, he eats wine and gambles, he can be said to be capable of all kinds of "eighteen martial arts".That is, he would have been reincarnated as the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, or he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Now that the Jia Mansion is gone, everyone has long since lost their respect for the Rongguo Mansion.Unexpectedly, when Jia She was old and old, a son of great fortune would emerge instead.
Everyone was uncertain about the future of the Jia family.
Yuan Heng was sitting on the stone bench, it was 'immediately with a horizontal knife, extraordinary power', it would be even better if this posture was not used for barbecue.
"Come on, come on, this venison is really delicious." Yuan Heng greeted Jia Lang immediately when he saw him.
"You have to call me three times a day, and you won't be afraid of people's comments." Jia Lang flicked his hat and snatched the meat skewers from Yuan Heng's hand.
"Hey, why are you snatching my meat, you want to eat and grill it yourself, hey, don't steal my meat." Yuan Heng hurriedly moved his meat skewer away.
"Didn't you want to seal off the harem a few years ago? Why is there nothing happening here?" Jia Lang actually forgot the scene of 'the concubine visiting relatives'.
"No money." Yuan Heng was quite a bachelor.
"It's good if you don't have money. If you don't take out the money, people won't tell you that you are stingy." Jia Lang ate the barbecue, which was really delicious.
"It's not that there is no money, it's that there is no money. After ascending the throne, all the positions of the harem will be changed, and everyone's status will be raised.
Forget one or two, I really can't bear these dozens.
And the old ones can't be used anymore. Those two things from the Ministry of Rites say that the old ones are different from the current ones, and that the new emperor needs to use new ones when he ascends the throne.
I really want to take the memorial and slap the two of them a few big mouths. They still work hard for the money. "Yuan Heng was annoyed when he thought of those two old men.
"Hahaha," Jia Lang laughed loudly, "Then you just have to wait for a year, and you'll probably be fine next year."
The matter of ministers borrowing money also happened in the Jin Dynasty, and there were quite a few of them.
When the Supreme Emperor was young, he was in a state of poverty and madness when he encountered a great war. Therefore, no matter what the reason was for the major families or sincere courtiers, the Supreme Emperor basically robbed [-]% of their belongings.
Later, when the war was over, the neighboring small countries sent 'peace money', and the treasury became rich all of a sudden.
The ministers all quietly united and staged a bitter drama for the Supreme Emperor.The Supreme Emperor was also a little embarrassed, so he allowed the minister to borrow money with no deadline and no interest.
As soon as the words were spoken, hundreds of thousands were lost in three days.
The Taishanghuang was also heartbroken, but he couldn't bring himself to take back the words.In addition, several companies are really too poor to uncover the pot.
Later, after all the taxation and salt administration were handed over, the Supreme Emperor turned a blind eye to borrowing money.
Later, when it was said to borrow money, the household department said that there was no money and could not be borrowed.
In fact, there is really no money, but the Ministry of Households does not know who has thought of a way, under the guise of 'making the Ministry of Households earn money every year'.
As a result, the trend of buying officials started.
In short, there were people on top of them, and the Ministry of Officials began to clearly mark prices for some small officials and small shortages. Naturally, high-ranking officials did not have the courage.But petty officials are also valuable, and there are many positions, and even more without real power, so the money comes rushing.
They hand in [-]%, and the remaining [-]% and [-]% will be reported.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor naturally also knew about this matter, and after an investigation, he found out that he had gone to Prince Zhongyi (the deposed prince).
There is no way, I can't say it clearly, I just leave Prince Zhongyi out, and let the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Household Department fight their braids, and the case is closed.
But this trend of buying officials has never been broken, and it is always sneaky.The older the Taishanghuang became, the more kind-hearted he became, and he was thinking of old love, thinking that he was just a few small officials, so he ignored it.
Today, the Ministry of Finance has lent enough money to demolish and rebuild the entire imperial palace.
As an emperor, you can have nothing, but you must have face.
So, the Supreme Emperor couldn't hold back his face, so he shook his hands and quit.The new emperor was forced to suffer. He was promoted by the Minister of the Household Department. As long as he raised the money, the Minister of the Household Department would either cry loudly or return home.
Yuan Heng could only look at Jia Lang pitifully.
When the emperor, no one is without money.However, no one is really rich.
The whole world belongs to the emperor, and naturally all the money in the world belongs to the emperor. The problem is that he does not hold it in his own hands.
Before Yuanheng ascended the throne, Jia Lang gave away 100 million taels, and after he ascended the throne, Jia Lang gave another 100 million taels, and if he wants...nothing!
Yuan Heng also knew that Jia Lang did not rely on the Jia family, but on himself.For the 200 million taels, other businesses would have peed their pants in fright.
So when Jia Lang said no, Yuan Heng also believed it.After all, his treasury doesn't even have 100 million taels, and the disaster relief has been sown not long ago.
Hearing what Jia Lang said, Yuan Heng's eyes lit up immediately.
"The Jia family also borrowed silver in the early years, about 90 taels." This money really has nothing to do with Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty, most of it was borrowed by Jia Daishan.
One is that the emperor speaks, there is no interest and no deadline, just like giving.
Although it was a loan, in their view, it was a disguised form of borrowing back what the previous emperor had taken away.In fact, it's their own money.All in all, Jia Daishan borrowed 50 taels in one go.
The second is that the Jia family was originally in Jinling, and now the direct line has moved to Kyoto, but the other branches are still in Jinling.Whenever people from the Jinling tribe wanted to pick them up, people from the Jia family would come to Jia Daishan to cry for poverty, and Jia Daishan would borrow money, 10 taels at a time.
Fortunately, Jia's family picked him up twice, and the remaining two times were when Jia's mother took care of Jia Daishan's funeral, and once when Jia's mother sent Jia Yuanchun to the Prince's Mansion, and the money was used for Jia Yuanchun's care.
To be honest, Jia Lang lamented how courageous Mother Jia really is!
90 taels of silver, while Grandma Liu's family only spent 20 taels a year.Such a huge amount not only did not make the Jia family rich, but also made Jia Jiayin eat enough food in the end, leaving a huge deficit.
Yuan Heng was not surprised by this figure, he knew it long ago, he was even clear about why it was borrowed and where it was spent in the end.
"It was said that Jia's mansion paid it back, but in the end you didn't pay it back. Are you soft-hearted again?" Yuan Heng didn't think Jia Lang's soft-heartedness was a big deal.
This is human nature, and Yuan Heng would feel that Jia Lang valued affection and righteousness instead.
"How is it possible, my father, you know it. The mountains of gold and silver are not enough for him to defeat, and he must not be allowed to be the master of the house in the future.
The old lady treats me well now, and she is not that partial, and she is old after all, I can't bear her dying without a good home.
I don't care about the second room, and I don't want to.My second uncle's child has a good talent, but if he is raised by the old lady, he will naturally grow up in the future.
When I leave, you send that child to the prince and let the prince grind him. "Thinking of the prince's small noodle stall, with a particularly poisonous tongue, I want to laugh.
When Yuan Heng thought of his eldest son, he was also helpless.
"I have an older brother above me who used to fish in troubled waters, but it's over now. I'm not telling you that I want him to follow me to endure hardships. After a year or two, he will naturally become mature.
From now on, the father will be raised by him, and the mother will be raised by me, and they will live in separate houses.
All, I will not come forward for this money, I will let him come forward.At that time, don't you want to copy Jia's house? You can see that it is not worth the money, and let his merits and demerits be offset.Moreover, it can also act as a deterrent. "Jia Lang's mind was spinning really fast.
"If you really want to do this, those guys will not pay back the money, they will only use the money as a life-saving straw. When it comes to committing a crime, they want to pay back the money." Yuan Heng rolled his eyes, and this guy lost his mind up.
"You are stupid, who would have thought that Jia's family has 90 taels. This money was copied when you copied Jia's house. Besides, it should be exactly 90 taels.
Then, you made a decree in the name of my brother, saying that he has merits and demerits, and finally offset them.What do you think those ministers think? Jia Lang also rolled his eyes at Yuan Heng.
Yuan Heng slapped his thigh, his eyes brightened.
Those ministers would think that Yuanheng was short of money, and wanted the Jia family to pay back the money, but couldn't bear to speak up, so they simply found a reason to copy the Jia family.
Otherwise, why would it be 90 taels that are just owed to the Ministry of Accounts?
What's more, they ransacked their homes and ransacked their homes. In the end, they ransacked their money and demoted their posts, and the others had nothing to do with it.This model was just for them to see, and the imperial decree of the last explanation was even more blatantly threatening.
If you don't pay back the money, wait, and after you have the evidence, you will immediately ransack the house.
Just as all the ministers were racking their brains to guess the emperor's intentions, at this time the emperor's confidant took the initiative to pay back the money, and the emperor pretended to reward with a few words and gave some small gifts.
After this scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers is played out, even a fool can understand what the emperor means.
I can only pay back all the owed money obediently, and even part of it if it is not paid, at least superficial work must be done.
Just as Yuan Heng and Jia Lang were having a lively conversation in Yuyuan Garden, the Jia family seemed to be blown up.
"Follow the heavens, the emperor said.
The Jia family, Jia Lian, has worked diligently and conscientiously since becoming an official..."
The Jia family kneeling on the ground only heard the word Jia Lian in their minds, and they were completely stupid.They knew that Jia Lang went to report to the Ministry of Officials, and they thought it was some reward or an imperial decree for Jia's family, but who knew that it was Jia Lian who was granted the title.
"Promoted to the fourth-rank county magistrate, appointed Yuanhuai County, keep everything simple and take office immediately. I respect you!" The eunuch passed the edict and finished the last word.
Not only the Jia family was dumbfounded, but even Jia Lian was dumbfounded.
Jia Lang said at the time that he would take him to Yuan'an County because he was a fellow acquaintance.
Now it has turned into a promotion to go to Yuanhuai County, to be the magistrate of a county, and to be in charge of a county? !
Seeing Jia Lian's unabashed surprise, Jia's mother originally suspected that the two brothers were colluding, but this seems not to be the case.
It's just that I still complain about Jia Lang in my heart. If I have the ability to promote Jia Lian, why not promote Jia Zheng.No matter how you look at it, Jia Zheng is more qualified to manage a county than Jia Lian, and can help Jia Lang better.
"Eunuch is busy, please come in and have a cup of tea." Jia Amnesty didn't even try to hide it, and directly stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of Eunuch Chuanzhi.
"Mr. Jia is really good at teaching his sons, not only the third son Jia is promising, but also the second son Jia is well-accumulated, the two will be the pillars of the dynasty in the future.
I won't drink the tea, the emperor and Mr. Jia San are talking in the imperial garden, I have to go back early to report. "The father-in-law felt the weight in his hand, he laughed happily, and his attitude was very affectionate.
"In that case, I don't want to keep my father-in-law too much. If you have any orders from your father-in-law in the future, just come to Jia's residence." Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes with joy.
Joyfully sending off the messenger, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder vigorously, and shouted hello three times.
Following Jia Amnesty's three loud roars, the people in the whole house finally realized that Jia's mother shouted for rewards again and again, and the others also congratulated Jia Lian.
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang looked at the bustle and bustle of the big house, one thought of Baoyu who was stubborn, and the other thought of Jia Zhu.
When Jia Zheng thought of Baoyu, he acted angrily. He should have studied and studied hard like the eldest son, but he was raised by his mother and wife to be a dandy.
Mrs. Wang thought of Jia Zhu, thinking that everything today should belong to his Zhu'er. If the master hadn't forced Jia Zhu to study again and again, why would she have left so early.
The couple originally had a shallow relationship, but now they blame each other and generate resentment.
When Jia Lang returned home, he was surprised to hear the news.
"This, really has nothing to do with me. I just told the new emperor that I would go to a poor place to do things for the people, and I didn't mention my second brother.
Yuan'an County and Yuanhuai County are all famous for their poor mountains and bad waters, so it's fine for me to suffer by myself, why bother to bring my second brother. " Jia Lang was blunt, he really didn't know that Yuan Heng gave Jia Lian a fourth-rank official so generously.
"Although you didn't mention it, the emperor still mentioned your elder brother's position for your sake." Jia's mother believed Jia Lang's words.
Even though Jia Lang was appreciated by the emperor, even if he really wanted to promote Jia Lian, Jia Lian would not be allowed to pass Jia Lang.
A fourth-rank official is comparable to a senior fourth-rank official.
At the end, Jia's mother joked that Jia Lang, from the fourth rank, would surpass Jia Lian, the regular fourth rank, as soon as possible.
A light flashed in Jia Lang's mind, and now he understood why Yuan Heng wanted Jia Lian to be a higher official than himself.
Because Jia Lian is his elder brother, although they are half-brothers, they are brothers in the eyes of outsiders.
It is only natural for the elder brother to promote the younger brother.This younger brother's promotion of his elder brother is also an expression of brotherhood.
The problem is, if the same place is an official, the younger brother sits and the older brother stands.
After a long time, but...
Jia Lang let out a sigh of relief, sure enough he was playing tricks, he was really not as good as Yuan Heng.
Jia Lang originally planned to leave on the second day, but because of Jia Lian's "misfortune", he left another day later.
Six carriages, twenty guards, and sixteen servants, here are the two of them 'light and simple'.
Yesterday the second wife originally wanted to ask Wang Xifeng to keep the housekeeper, lest her niece go to a desolate place to suffer.Now that Jia Lian has enough confidence, he directly ignores the second wife and asks Wang Xifeng to pack up quickly.
He succeeded in getting the second wife away, so angry that she went directly to complain to the ancestors.
When the ancestor summoned him, none of Jialian's people went, but Ping'er was called to answer.
"My grandma is currently packing up her luggage and saluting. She doesn't know anything about daily necessities and what an official needs, so I just let my grandfather make arrangements.
My grandfather never thought of leaving home before, but now he is away as an official, and he doesn't know how long it will be before he can return. Now he is jumping around in the yard anxiously, and he doesn't even know what he brought with him.
The third master Lang was found and asked for advice.Now the house is full of things, and I can't even step on it.
Originally, grandma wanted to come and answer in person, but it was not blocked by those boxes and cabinets. When I talked to her, I shouted at the top of my voice through the boxes.
My father said that he had borrowed the advantage of Third Master Lang, and now he didn't want to drag him back, so he wanted to go with him.
Clean up tonight, come tomorrow to pay respects to the ancestors, and take office in the afternoon. "Ping'er said a few serious things, and a few funny ones.
The old ancestor also understood and was happy, so he turned his head and said a few words to Mrs. Wang.
It means that Jia Lian is willing to take his daughter-in-law to take office, and Wang Xifeng is also willing to follow. What else can others say.Although Mrs. Wang is her aunt, but the serious mother-in-law didn't speak, so others should not worry about that.
As soon as Mother Jia spoke, Mrs. Xing immediately waved to Sanchun as if she had received an order.
"I heard that the place is poor, and your sister-in-law Lian has been spoiled and doted on since she was a child, and the old lady loves her even more when she married. Thinking about the remoteness of the place, the roads are not easy to walk, so you have to suffer a little bit.
The daughter-in-law was reluctant to part with her girl, and wanted to take her there with her.As a parent, it must be hard to part with the flesh and blood.
Yingchun, you take this key, I went to Ci'an Mountain to worship Buddha in the first month, and the wheel was cracked, and Lang'er gave me a new carriage, which was stable and comfortable.You send it to your sister-in-law, and let her mother sit on it, so that the road will be more comfortable.
I still have a box of medicinal materials, which are not expensive, but it is estimated that there are not enough to buy in the small fields in the countryside, so you can find them and bring them with you.
The master also prepared something for Lian'er, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so Yingchun also brought it to your second elder brother Lian.
Wang Shanbao's family, you follow and watch the girls click, Lian'er doesn't think there are people coming and going, don't let anyone bump into the girls. "
After Madam Xing's long conversation, she not only used her prestige, but also trampled on Madam Wang's face.
Mrs. Wang kept saying how to pity her niece, but in the end she didn't take out any sand in her hand for her niece.
Mrs. Xing also told Mrs. Wang, and the old lady, she is not afraid without a master, she has a son to support her.
It turned out that she had asked someone to repair the two carriages a long time ago, but no one responded after two months of repairs.As a result, Jia Lang asked them to fix it, but they did it. Before they had walked two miles, the wheel started, and Jia Lang was almost injured.
Jia Lang almost hurt his hand, so he went to complain to Jia Amnesty when he turned around.Jia Amnesty was shocked, and without further ado, he sold all those people out, and even blatantly pissed off the housekeeper's second wife, accusing her of disrespecting her brother and sister-in-law.
After Jia Zheng knew about it, he also told the second wife about it. The second wife had no choice but to come and visit Jia Lang, and even pretended to be kind and said some sarcastic words in secret.
Jia Lang laughed happily, and delivered a carriage to Mrs. Xing with great fanfare the next morning.
The old lady's horses and carriages have always been the best, but now the eldest lady's is 'resplendent', completely worthless compared to Mrs. Wang who follows her.
Jia Lang also provided Sanchun's carriage, although it is not gorgeous, it is also unique.
Well now, there is only Mrs. Wang's carriage, which is black and old, but fortunately it is not broken, otherwise I really thought it was some poor relative who came to the house to beat the autumn wind.
The second wife looked at the two carriages, and then looked at her own carriage, her face almost couldn't hold back.
The old lady didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention it.
Seeing Sanchun coming, Jia Lian said something casually, and asked them to find Wang Xifeng.
Since Jia Lian followed Jia Lang, his purse was enough, and his life became more fulfilling.Sometimes, there is too much money and no time to spend.
Seeing Jia Lang's kindness to these girls, it is inevitable that he loves the house and Wu (you are polite).
Seeing Sanchun coming, Wang Xifeng greeted her immediately.This year, Wang Baoshan's family became close to Wang Xifeng, and their friendship has improved a lot.
After saying what Mrs. Xing had said, he went to watch outside the door.
"Hey, you and Brother Lang have both gone to other places, and we are the only ones left here." Tanchun complained strangely.
"Why, do you want to get married now?" Wang Xifeng joked immediately.
"Bah, you have such a mouth, see if you write to us to complain in the future, we will not help you." Tanchun glared with his hands on his hips.
"My aunt, you are the best, you are the most kind..." Wang Xifeng quickly pulled Tanchun to sit beside her.
For a while, everyone made a fuss.
Sanchun knew that Wang Xifeng was going to be busy, so she sat down for a cup of tea and left.
Ping'er sent Sanchun out the door, and when he entered the door, he saw Wang Xifeng opening the box that Mrs. Xing had sent over.
This box is quite big, one by one small box, there are many small characters written on it.
"What is this?" The ordinary person was a little curious.
"Pharmaceutical box." Wang Xifeng pulled out the 'ginseng' drawer, and a century-old ginseng with intact roots appeared in front of Wang Xifeng and Heping'er.
"This... the eldest lady really put her heart into it." Although Ping'er had never met the old ginseng, it was not that the old ginseng existed.
As far as the weight of this ginseng is concerned, at least four or five hundred taels of silver.If it's a hundred year old, I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand taels.
"It's more than that." Wang Xifeng sighed.
How could the former Mrs. Xing not know that with two cents in her hand, another cent would be deducted.
Nowadays, ordinary silks and satins, gold, silver and jewellery, cannot catch the eye.
Where can Mrs. Xing get this ginseng, it must have been given by Jia Lang.Just give Madam Xing a word, I'm afraid she didn't take the few thousand taels seriously.
Wang Xifeng was more and more in awe of Jia Lang's unrivaled ability, and at the same time lamented her own fate.This Mrs. Xing's life was worse than when she was a girl, but now she doesn't pay attention to thousands of children.
If you want her, dozens of cars are fine, but she doesn't want to buy thousands of cars for her daughter-in-law.
Ping'er is also smart, and Wang Xifeng did not hide the fact that she got 5000 taels from Jia Lang.
"Grandma, if you ask me, you should be more generous." Ping'er whispered in Wang Xifeng's ear.
"Your grandma and I don't have a son as capable as Jia Lang, so I should be more generous." Wang Xifeng immediately shook his head.
"Grandma, there are some things that other people don't know, don't I know? Ever since you took charge of the account, outsiders have regarded you as a brave man, and have even spoken ill of you.
Those who are full of filth, how do they know that this mansion has already been living without food, and it wasn't filled with grandma's dowry when they were just housekeepers.
The second wife just pushed it on grandma, and refused to pay any money.Grandma thought about it carefully, it was not Zhou Rui's mother-in-law who first mentioned this matter in grandma's ear about the profit.
I'm just a maid, so it's disrespectful when I say this, but I ask grandma to forgive me for the sake of my heart. "Ping'er slapped himself.
Wang Xifeng quickly grabbed Ping'er's hand and told her to continue talking.
"At the beginning, we also felt that it was not good to give out profiteering money, and it was detrimental to morality. But at that time, in order to repair the Lixiangyuan, grandma asked for thousands of taels all at once, so how could I get them out.
But, grandma, haven't you also watched Lixiangyuan? Whose room did the toys mentioned by the second wife end up in? "Ping'er reminded Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng has sharp eyes and a good memory, so he remembered it in a while.
Inside Baoyu's room.
Wang Xifeng thought about it up and down, and immediately understood.
Her good aunt is really amazing, even her own niece is cheated!
Wang Xifeng's face suddenly became ugly with anger.
"Don't be angry, grandma. If you want me to tell you, this is grandma's blessing. You see, now that there is no profit, grandma doesn't care about the house. In fact, the two balance out.
The third master over there clearly wants grandma to help, but in fact he wants to give grandma a kiss and compensate grandma for her dowry.
He is a person with supernatural powers, and he must know that grandma spent her own dowry to make up the shortfall, which is only 5000 taels. The total dowry you paid out back then was 1 taels. "Ping'er said, and finally became softer.
Hearing what Ping'er said, Wang Xifeng also agreed with it, nodding frequently.
"The most important thing is that I think Third Master Lang is only willing to pull our master now because he looked at the blessings accumulated by grandma in the past.
Look at our lord, he has changed a lot now, he doesn't mess around outside, he is a lot more decent, and he has been promoted to a rank in just one year.
Instead of giving the money to this elder tomorrow and that eunuch the day after tomorrow, it is better to spend it on Third Master Lang.
Third Master Lang has become a fourth-rank official at such a young age, so it may not be possible that he will not have a higher position in the future.And he is not a cold hearted person, let the emperor give us a higher official position than him, which shows his heart.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if Third Master Lang can't let our master go further, at least he has more money.The flow from his fingers was several times more than that of the second wife. After finishing speaking, Ping'er patted the medicine box.
Wang Xifeng suddenly became excited, and his mind suddenly became clear.
"What's the matter with money, both of his mothers are several times richer than your grandma." Wang Xifeng thought that if Jia Lian could move up the ladder, she would not have to worry about money in the future, and I don't know how many people would give her money.
"Here," Ping'er patted the box, "the ones who came just now, and the one who didn't come."
Ping'er didn't mention anyone's name, but Wang Xifeng understood.
"Then tell me, I want to..." Wang Xifeng immediately began to plan how to give gifts.
"Grandma," Ping'er yelled, crying and laughing, "what's the time now, just wait for the future."
Wang Xifeng slapped his forehead, how can he have that kind of skill this time.
"You little hoof, at the wrong time, you still hooked your grandma on purpose." Wang Xifeng scolded with a smile.
"Today is not the time, but tomorrow is the time. The New Year's gift from the Wang family included a few scarlet cloaks, and the rouge gouache from the south of the Yangtze River." Ping'er immediately reminded.
"Well, it seems that the cloak is not enough?" Wang Xifeng remembered whether there was only one cloak or two.
"There are three cloaks, and they are given to the three girls. Although Miss Lin said that she should not give her any flamboyant ones except for filial piety, and she doesn't look like a flirtatious person.
A while ago, didn’t you say that you made some thick gauze skirts with duck down glued with the newly produced green gauze made in the south of the Yangtze River? Didn’t you say that you planned to give it to Miss Lin? "Ping'er reminded.
This is when Wang Xifeng heard that Lin Daiyu and Jia Lang were engaged, and ordered Ping'er to find out and prepare to give it to Lin Daiyu, but he forgot about it after a while.
"That's right, I almost forgot." Wang Xifeng cheered up.
"I've already found it and installed it. Tomorrow, you and the second master must be going to say goodbye to our ancestors, and send them together at that time.
I also found the little rice gauze (beige-yellow to white) that time. Last time you went to Ms. Lin’s, you said that her window screen hadn’t been changed for a long time. When I delivered the letter a few days ago, I saw that the gauze hadn’t been changed.
Miss Lin doesn't like to make publicity, and if everyone doesn't change it, she just saves it.The color of the rice yarn this time is not correct, and the clothes are not good-looking. It is better to borrow flowers to present Buddha and send them together. "Ping'er hurriedly took out everything that had been prepared.
"You little hoof, you have already thought about it, and you are here to bury your grandma." Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's comprehensiveness, and was really moved in his heart.
"See what you said, you are my ancestor, how can I not support you." Seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't blame her for making her own decisions, Ping'er agreed happily.
"Hey, I've been eating honey today, and I can still spit out a few nice words." Wang Xifeng got up, and went to her closet to take out the early spring clothes.
"You and I have been with me for so many years. I know better than the second master Lian. Nuo, I have prepared it for you. Ping'er, don't blame your grandma for being cruel. As long as I can give birth to a son, I will carry you the next day." Be an aunt." Wang Xifeng stuffed the clothes into Ping'er's arms.
"Grandma, grandma, Ping'er is not because of this..." Ping'er explained again and again.
"Okay, I know. This is what I give you willingly. Instead of our master looking for it outside, it's better to let you take over.
You really think about me, and I don't treat you badly. "Wang Xifeng is telling the truth.
Ping'er kowtowed three times to Wang Xifeng respectfully.
Seeing Ping'er like this, Wang Xifeng's discomfort dissipated.
When Jia Lian became an official, he would not rely on himself in the future, but he would rely on him.From now on, Jia Lian will be the master of the house, and if he really wants to marry, he can't even say a word.
Jealousy is out of seven!
Wang Xifeng saw that everyone was arguing about Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu was about to run away, so she interrupted.Casually making a haha made everyone burst into laughter, and forgot to ask for Lin Daiyu's farewell gift.
After playing around for a while, Jia Lang made an excuse of 'going to report to the official department tomorrow' and left early.
Lin Daiyu thought about the gift she hadn't given yet, so she also found an excuse to leave.
The two are one in front and one behind, the one in front is not walking fast, and the one behind is not rushing too fast.
Listening to the noisy footsteps, Jia Lang couldn't hear Lin Daiyu's landing, but Lin Daiyu could see Jia Lang's shadow on the ground.
The two didn't say a word until they returned to the yard, Sangzhu and the others didn't understand what their young lady was thinking.
Why didn't he say anything when he was clearly chasing after him.
Lin Daiyu walked to the corner of the same wall as Lixiangyuan, and ordered the servant girl to put her qin on it.
The faint sound of the piano sounded slowly.
Jia Lang is now in the gazebo, drinking wine and looking at the moon.
The painting given by Xichun was hung in front of his eyes by Yuliu.
Feeling drunk, Jia Lang shook his head, pulled the painting in front of him, and flicked it vigorously, the painting actually 'floated' to the wall of the next courtyard.
The painting scroll fell on the strings and made a 'clank' sound.
The sound of the piano was suddenly interrupted.
Lin Daiyu was taken aback by this sudden change, and when she saw the object that fell from the sky, she couldn't help being stunned.
"This painting, why is it wet?" Sang Zhu took the painting and flattened it to see that some places on it were blurred.
Daiyu looked over quickly, and when she saw it clearly, she turned her head and went back to her room.
Sangzhu and Yuliu also took a closer look, and immediately smiled at each other.
Originally, the theme of this painting was Jia Lang and Lin Daiyu. Because of layout problems, Jia Lang was on top and Lin Daiyu was on the bottom.Everyone else is around.
The others were already indistinct, but now Jia Lang's unintentional smear of wine is completely invisible to others.Fortunately, Jia Lang and Lin Daiyu are the only ones left.
Sangzhu unfolded the painting and held it up like this, and then entered the room with both hands raised.Put it on the desk and flatten it with a stone so that the wet place won't wrinkle.
When Lin Daiyu woke up the next day and saw the painting, she immediately scolded Sangzhu, Yuliu, and repeatedly asked them to put the painting away.
Speaking of which, after Jia Lang got drunk, he didn't remember what he was doing at all, so he went back to the bed and went straight to sleep.
Qingchan and Yaolan hurriedly helped to take off their clothes and wipe their faces, knowing that Jia Lang never liked others approaching, so they dared to take off his coat, shoes and socks.
He hurriedly ordered the servant to prepare the materials for sobering up, and let the kitchen cook it first in the morning.
On the second day, Jia Lang recalled last night, feeling embarrassed.
However, it is not good to rush over.
On the contrary, before he left the house, he received a gift from Lin Daiyu, a pouch with a light blue background and colorful flasks embroidered on it.
This is the second time he has received a purse from Lin Daiyu.
Because of her poor health, everyone never explicitly asked her to be a female celebrity, just relying on her happiness.
Rather than being a female celebrity, Lin Daiyu would rather read books.It has been more than a year since he came to Jia's mansion, and he is the only female celebrity who has done his best.
Jia Lang didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and wanted to tell Qing Chan to keep it safe, but Qing Chan was the first to tie it around Jia Lang's waist.
Jia Lang felt that he couldn't see Lin Daiyu again today, so what to do.But after thinking about it, it's a bit of a fuss to make a fuss if the system is all tied up and taken off.
He tugged his sleeves and went out.
The little girl who had been guarding outside saw Jia Lang coming out, so she took a few more glances at Jia Lang's waist, turned around and left.
Jia Lang didn't have the idea to come here, so he went out to sit in a sedan chair.When he came to the Ministry of Officials, he took the official robe and the flower feather on his top, and took the documents with both hands, and he officially became the magistrate of the fourth rank.
If these things are missing, he is not an official.
Originally, the official robes had to be bought by the officials themselves, but for junior officials of the seventh rank, it would cost one or two hundred taels, and the increase would be doubled.
Jia Lang's official robe cost at least 1000 taels, and Jia Lang was not short of this amount, but the officials would not dare to ask Jia Lang for it.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said this to Jia Lang very kindly, and never mentioned the cost of the official robes.
As soon as he changed into his official robe, a little father-in-law came to Jia Lang and asked Jia Lang to go to the imperial garden to face the saint.
All the officials were even more affectionate, they only hated that their son was not Jia Lang, and all envied and hated Jia Shena, Jia Lang's father.
This Jia She is sensual and sensual, he eats wine and gambles, he can be said to be capable of all kinds of "eighteen martial arts".That is, he would have been reincarnated as the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, or he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Now that the Jia Mansion is gone, everyone has long since lost their respect for the Rongguo Mansion.Unexpectedly, when Jia She was old and old, a son of great fortune would emerge instead.
Everyone was uncertain about the future of the Jia family.
Yuan Heng was sitting on the stone bench, it was 'immediately with a horizontal knife, extraordinary power', it would be even better if this posture was not used for barbecue.
"Come on, come on, this venison is really delicious." Yuan Heng greeted Jia Lang immediately when he saw him.
"You have to call me three times a day, and you won't be afraid of people's comments." Jia Lang flicked his hat and snatched the meat skewers from Yuan Heng's hand.
"Hey, why are you snatching my meat, you want to eat and grill it yourself, hey, don't steal my meat." Yuan Heng hurriedly moved his meat skewer away.
"Didn't you want to seal off the harem a few years ago? Why is there nothing happening here?" Jia Lang actually forgot the scene of 'the concubine visiting relatives'.
"No money." Yuan Heng was quite a bachelor.
"It's good if you don't have money. If you don't take out the money, people won't tell you that you are stingy." Jia Lang ate the barbecue, which was really delicious.
"It's not that there is no money, it's that there is no money. After ascending the throne, all the positions of the harem will be changed, and everyone's status will be raised.
Forget one or two, I really can't bear these dozens.
And the old ones can't be used anymore. Those two things from the Ministry of Rites say that the old ones are different from the current ones, and that the new emperor needs to use new ones when he ascends the throne.
I really want to take the memorial and slap the two of them a few big mouths. They still work hard for the money. "Yuan Heng was annoyed when he thought of those two old men.
"Hahaha," Jia Lang laughed loudly, "Then you just have to wait for a year, and you'll probably be fine next year."
The matter of ministers borrowing money also happened in the Jin Dynasty, and there were quite a few of them.
When the Supreme Emperor was young, he was in a state of poverty and madness when he encountered a great war. Therefore, no matter what the reason was for the major families or sincere courtiers, the Supreme Emperor basically robbed [-]% of their belongings.
Later, when the war was over, the neighboring small countries sent 'peace money', and the treasury became rich all of a sudden.
The ministers all quietly united and staged a bitter drama for the Supreme Emperor.The Supreme Emperor was also a little embarrassed, so he allowed the minister to borrow money with no deadline and no interest.
As soon as the words were spoken, hundreds of thousands were lost in three days.
The Taishanghuang was also heartbroken, but he couldn't bring himself to take back the words.In addition, several companies are really too poor to uncover the pot.
Later, after all the taxation and salt administration were handed over, the Supreme Emperor turned a blind eye to borrowing money.
Later, when it was said to borrow money, the household department said that there was no money and could not be borrowed.
In fact, there is really no money, but the Ministry of Households does not know who has thought of a way, under the guise of 'making the Ministry of Households earn money every year'.
As a result, the trend of buying officials started.
In short, there were people on top of them, and the Ministry of Officials began to clearly mark prices for some small officials and small shortages. Naturally, high-ranking officials did not have the courage.But petty officials are also valuable, and there are many positions, and even more without real power, so the money comes rushing.
They hand in [-]%, and the remaining [-]% and [-]% will be reported.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor naturally also knew about this matter, and after an investigation, he found out that he had gone to Prince Zhongyi (the deposed prince).
There is no way, I can't say it clearly, I just leave Prince Zhongyi out, and let the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Household Department fight their braids, and the case is closed.
But this trend of buying officials has never been broken, and it is always sneaky.The older the Taishanghuang became, the more kind-hearted he became, and he was thinking of old love, thinking that he was just a few small officials, so he ignored it.
Today, the Ministry of Finance has lent enough money to demolish and rebuild the entire imperial palace.
As an emperor, you can have nothing, but you must have face.
So, the Supreme Emperor couldn't hold back his face, so he shook his hands and quit.The new emperor was forced to suffer. He was promoted by the Minister of the Household Department. As long as he raised the money, the Minister of the Household Department would either cry loudly or return home.
Yuan Heng could only look at Jia Lang pitifully.
When the emperor, no one is without money.However, no one is really rich.
The whole world belongs to the emperor, and naturally all the money in the world belongs to the emperor. The problem is that he does not hold it in his own hands.
Before Yuanheng ascended the throne, Jia Lang gave away 100 million taels, and after he ascended the throne, Jia Lang gave another 100 million taels, and if he wants...nothing!
Yuan Heng also knew that Jia Lang did not rely on the Jia family, but on himself.For the 200 million taels, other businesses would have peed their pants in fright.
So when Jia Lang said no, Yuan Heng also believed it.After all, his treasury doesn't even have 100 million taels, and the disaster relief has been sown not long ago.
Hearing what Jia Lang said, Yuan Heng's eyes lit up immediately.
"The Jia family also borrowed silver in the early years, about 90 taels." This money really has nothing to do with Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty, most of it was borrowed by Jia Daishan.
One is that the emperor speaks, there is no interest and no deadline, just like giving.
Although it was a loan, in their view, it was a disguised form of borrowing back what the previous emperor had taken away.In fact, it's their own money.All in all, Jia Daishan borrowed 50 taels in one go.
The second is that the Jia family was originally in Jinling, and now the direct line has moved to Kyoto, but the other branches are still in Jinling.Whenever people from the Jinling tribe wanted to pick them up, people from the Jia family would come to Jia Daishan to cry for poverty, and Jia Daishan would borrow money, 10 taels at a time.
Fortunately, Jia's family picked him up twice, and the remaining two times were when Jia's mother took care of Jia Daishan's funeral, and once when Jia's mother sent Jia Yuanchun to the Prince's Mansion, and the money was used for Jia Yuanchun's care.
To be honest, Jia Lang lamented how courageous Mother Jia really is!
90 taels of silver, while Grandma Liu's family only spent 20 taels a year.Such a huge amount not only did not make the Jia family rich, but also made Jia Jiayin eat enough food in the end, leaving a huge deficit.
Yuan Heng was not surprised by this figure, he knew it long ago, he was even clear about why it was borrowed and where it was spent in the end.
"It was said that Jia's mansion paid it back, but in the end you didn't pay it back. Are you soft-hearted again?" Yuan Heng didn't think Jia Lang's soft-heartedness was a big deal.
This is human nature, and Yuan Heng would feel that Jia Lang valued affection and righteousness instead.
"How is it possible, my father, you know it. The mountains of gold and silver are not enough for him to defeat, and he must not be allowed to be the master of the house in the future.
The old lady treats me well now, and she is not that partial, and she is old after all, I can't bear her dying without a good home.
I don't care about the second room, and I don't want to.My second uncle's child has a good talent, but if he is raised by the old lady, he will naturally grow up in the future.
When I leave, you send that child to the prince and let the prince grind him. "Thinking of the prince's small noodle stall, with a particularly poisonous tongue, I want to laugh.
When Yuan Heng thought of his eldest son, he was also helpless.
"I have an older brother above me who used to fish in troubled waters, but it's over now. I'm not telling you that I want him to follow me to endure hardships. After a year or two, he will naturally become mature.
From now on, the father will be raised by him, and the mother will be raised by me, and they will live in separate houses.
All, I will not come forward for this money, I will let him come forward.At that time, don't you want to copy Jia's house? You can see that it is not worth the money, and let his merits and demerits be offset.Moreover, it can also act as a deterrent. "Jia Lang's mind was spinning really fast.
"If you really want to do this, those guys will not pay back the money, they will only use the money as a life-saving straw. When it comes to committing a crime, they want to pay back the money." Yuan Heng rolled his eyes, and this guy lost his mind up.
"You are stupid, who would have thought that Jia's family has 90 taels. This money was copied when you copied Jia's house. Besides, it should be exactly 90 taels.
Then, you made a decree in the name of my brother, saying that he has merits and demerits, and finally offset them.What do you think those ministers think? Jia Lang also rolled his eyes at Yuan Heng.
Yuan Heng slapped his thigh, his eyes brightened.
Those ministers would think that Yuanheng was short of money, and wanted the Jia family to pay back the money, but couldn't bear to speak up, so they simply found a reason to copy the Jia family.
Otherwise, why would it be 90 taels that are just owed to the Ministry of Accounts?
What's more, they ransacked their homes and ransacked their homes. In the end, they ransacked their money and demoted their posts, and the others had nothing to do with it.This model was just for them to see, and the imperial decree of the last explanation was even more blatantly threatening.
If you don't pay back the money, wait, and after you have the evidence, you will immediately ransack the house.
Just as all the ministers were racking their brains to guess the emperor's intentions, at this time the emperor's confidant took the initiative to pay back the money, and the emperor pretended to reward with a few words and gave some small gifts.
After this scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers is played out, even a fool can understand what the emperor means.
I can only pay back all the owed money obediently, and even part of it if it is not paid, at least superficial work must be done.
Just as Yuan Heng and Jia Lang were having a lively conversation in Yuyuan Garden, the Jia family seemed to be blown up.
"Follow the heavens, the emperor said.
The Jia family, Jia Lian, has worked diligently and conscientiously since becoming an official..."
The Jia family kneeling on the ground only heard the word Jia Lian in their minds, and they were completely stupid.They knew that Jia Lang went to report to the Ministry of Officials, and they thought it was some reward or an imperial decree for Jia's family, but who knew that it was Jia Lian who was granted the title.
"Promoted to the fourth-rank county magistrate, appointed Yuanhuai County, keep everything simple and take office immediately. I respect you!" The eunuch passed the edict and finished the last word.
Not only the Jia family was dumbfounded, but even Jia Lian was dumbfounded.
Jia Lang said at the time that he would take him to Yuan'an County because he was a fellow acquaintance.
Now it has turned into a promotion to go to Yuanhuai County, to be the magistrate of a county, and to be in charge of a county? !
Seeing Jia Lian's unabashed surprise, Jia's mother originally suspected that the two brothers were colluding, but this seems not to be the case.
It's just that I still complain about Jia Lang in my heart. If I have the ability to promote Jia Lian, why not promote Jia Zheng.No matter how you look at it, Jia Zheng is more qualified to manage a county than Jia Lian, and can help Jia Lang better.
"Eunuch is busy, please come in and have a cup of tea." Jia Amnesty didn't even try to hide it, and directly stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of Eunuch Chuanzhi.
"Mr. Jia is really good at teaching his sons, not only the third son Jia is promising, but also the second son Jia is well-accumulated, the two will be the pillars of the dynasty in the future.
I won't drink the tea, the emperor and Mr. Jia San are talking in the imperial garden, I have to go back early to report. "The father-in-law felt the weight in his hand, he laughed happily, and his attitude was very affectionate.
"In that case, I don't want to keep my father-in-law too much. If you have any orders from your father-in-law in the future, just come to Jia's residence." Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes with joy.
Joyfully sending off the messenger, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder vigorously, and shouted hello three times.
Following Jia Amnesty's three loud roars, the people in the whole house finally realized that Jia's mother shouted for rewards again and again, and the others also congratulated Jia Lian.
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang looked at the bustle and bustle of the big house, one thought of Baoyu who was stubborn, and the other thought of Jia Zhu.
When Jia Zheng thought of Baoyu, he acted angrily. He should have studied and studied hard like the eldest son, but he was raised by his mother and wife to be a dandy.
Mrs. Wang thought of Jia Zhu, thinking that everything today should belong to his Zhu'er. If the master hadn't forced Jia Zhu to study again and again, why would she have left so early.
The couple originally had a shallow relationship, but now they blame each other and generate resentment.
When Jia Lang returned home, he was surprised to hear the news.
"This, really has nothing to do with me. I just told the new emperor that I would go to a poor place to do things for the people, and I didn't mention my second brother.
Yuan'an County and Yuanhuai County are all famous for their poor mountains and bad waters, so it's fine for me to suffer by myself, why bother to bring my second brother. " Jia Lang was blunt, he really didn't know that Yuan Heng gave Jia Lian a fourth-rank official so generously.
"Although you didn't mention it, the emperor still mentioned your elder brother's position for your sake." Jia's mother believed Jia Lang's words.
Even though Jia Lang was appreciated by the emperor, even if he really wanted to promote Jia Lian, Jia Lian would not be allowed to pass Jia Lang.
A fourth-rank official is comparable to a senior fourth-rank official.
At the end, Jia's mother joked that Jia Lang, from the fourth rank, would surpass Jia Lian, the regular fourth rank, as soon as possible.
A light flashed in Jia Lang's mind, and now he understood why Yuan Heng wanted Jia Lian to be a higher official than himself.
Because Jia Lian is his elder brother, although they are half-brothers, they are brothers in the eyes of outsiders.
It is only natural for the elder brother to promote the younger brother.This younger brother's promotion of his elder brother is also an expression of brotherhood.
The problem is, if the same place is an official, the younger brother sits and the older brother stands.
After a long time, but...
Jia Lang let out a sigh of relief, sure enough he was playing tricks, he was really not as good as Yuan Heng.
Jia Lang originally planned to leave on the second day, but because of Jia Lian's "misfortune", he left another day later.
Six carriages, twenty guards, and sixteen servants, here are the two of them 'light and simple'.
Yesterday the second wife originally wanted to ask Wang Xifeng to keep the housekeeper, lest her niece go to a desolate place to suffer.Now that Jia Lian has enough confidence, he directly ignores the second wife and asks Wang Xifeng to pack up quickly.
He succeeded in getting the second wife away, so angry that she went directly to complain to the ancestors.
When the ancestor summoned him, none of Jialian's people went, but Ping'er was called to answer.
"My grandma is currently packing up her luggage and saluting. She doesn't know anything about daily necessities and what an official needs, so I just let my grandfather make arrangements.
My grandfather never thought of leaving home before, but now he is away as an official, and he doesn't know how long it will be before he can return. Now he is jumping around in the yard anxiously, and he doesn't even know what he brought with him.
The third master Lang was found and asked for advice.Now the house is full of things, and I can't even step on it.
Originally, grandma wanted to come and answer in person, but it was not blocked by those boxes and cabinets. When I talked to her, I shouted at the top of my voice through the boxes.
My father said that he had borrowed the advantage of Third Master Lang, and now he didn't want to drag him back, so he wanted to go with him.
Clean up tonight, come tomorrow to pay respects to the ancestors, and take office in the afternoon. "Ping'er said a few serious things, and a few funny ones.
The old ancestor also understood and was happy, so he turned his head and said a few words to Mrs. Wang.
It means that Jia Lian is willing to take his daughter-in-law to take office, and Wang Xifeng is also willing to follow. What else can others say.Although Mrs. Wang is her aunt, but the serious mother-in-law didn't speak, so others should not worry about that.
As soon as Mother Jia spoke, Mrs. Xing immediately waved to Sanchun as if she had received an order.
"I heard that the place is poor, and your sister-in-law Lian has been spoiled and doted on since she was a child, and the old lady loves her even more when she married. Thinking about the remoteness of the place, the roads are not easy to walk, so you have to suffer a little bit.
The daughter-in-law was reluctant to part with her girl, and wanted to take her there with her.As a parent, it must be hard to part with the flesh and blood.
Yingchun, you take this key, I went to Ci'an Mountain to worship Buddha in the first month, and the wheel was cracked, and Lang'er gave me a new carriage, which was stable and comfortable.You send it to your sister-in-law, and let her mother sit on it, so that the road will be more comfortable.
I still have a box of medicinal materials, which are not expensive, but it is estimated that there are not enough to buy in the small fields in the countryside, so you can find them and bring them with you.
The master also prepared something for Lian'er, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so Yingchun also brought it to your second elder brother Lian.
Wang Shanbao's family, you follow and watch the girls click, Lian'er doesn't think there are people coming and going, don't let anyone bump into the girls. "
After Madam Xing's long conversation, she not only used her prestige, but also trampled on Madam Wang's face.
Mrs. Wang kept saying how to pity her niece, but in the end she didn't take out any sand in her hand for her niece.
Mrs. Xing also told Mrs. Wang, and the old lady, she is not afraid without a master, she has a son to support her.
It turned out that she had asked someone to repair the two carriages a long time ago, but no one responded after two months of repairs.As a result, Jia Lang asked them to fix it, but they did it. Before they had walked two miles, the wheel started, and Jia Lang was almost injured.
Jia Lang almost hurt his hand, so he went to complain to Jia Amnesty when he turned around.Jia Amnesty was shocked, and without further ado, he sold all those people out, and even blatantly pissed off the housekeeper's second wife, accusing her of disrespecting her brother and sister-in-law.
After Jia Zheng knew about it, he also told the second wife about it. The second wife had no choice but to come and visit Jia Lang, and even pretended to be kind and said some sarcastic words in secret.
Jia Lang laughed happily, and delivered a carriage to Mrs. Xing with great fanfare the next morning.
The old lady's horses and carriages have always been the best, but now the eldest lady's is 'resplendent', completely worthless compared to Mrs. Wang who follows her.
Jia Lang also provided Sanchun's carriage, although it is not gorgeous, it is also unique.
Well now, there is only Mrs. Wang's carriage, which is black and old, but fortunately it is not broken, otherwise I really thought it was some poor relative who came to the house to beat the autumn wind.
The second wife looked at the two carriages, and then looked at her own carriage, her face almost couldn't hold back.
The old lady didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention it.
Seeing Sanchun coming, Jia Lian said something casually, and asked them to find Wang Xifeng.
Since Jia Lian followed Jia Lang, his purse was enough, and his life became more fulfilling.Sometimes, there is too much money and no time to spend.
Seeing Jia Lang's kindness to these girls, it is inevitable that he loves the house and Wu (you are polite).
Seeing Sanchun coming, Wang Xifeng greeted her immediately.This year, Wang Baoshan's family became close to Wang Xifeng, and their friendship has improved a lot.
After saying what Mrs. Xing had said, he went to watch outside the door.
"Hey, you and Brother Lang have both gone to other places, and we are the only ones left here." Tanchun complained strangely.
"Why, do you want to get married now?" Wang Xifeng joked immediately.
"Bah, you have such a mouth, see if you write to us to complain in the future, we will not help you." Tanchun glared with his hands on his hips.
"My aunt, you are the best, you are the most kind..." Wang Xifeng quickly pulled Tanchun to sit beside her.
For a while, everyone made a fuss.
Sanchun knew that Wang Xifeng was going to be busy, so she sat down for a cup of tea and left.
Ping'er sent Sanchun out the door, and when he entered the door, he saw Wang Xifeng opening the box that Mrs. Xing had sent over.
This box is quite big, one by one small box, there are many small characters written on it.
"What is this?" The ordinary person was a little curious.
"Pharmaceutical box." Wang Xifeng pulled out the 'ginseng' drawer, and a century-old ginseng with intact roots appeared in front of Wang Xifeng and Heping'er.
"This... the eldest lady really put her heart into it." Although Ping'er had never met the old ginseng, it was not that the old ginseng existed.
As far as the weight of this ginseng is concerned, at least four or five hundred taels of silver.If it's a hundred year old, I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand taels.
"It's more than that." Wang Xifeng sighed.
How could the former Mrs. Xing not know that with two cents in her hand, another cent would be deducted.
Nowadays, ordinary silks and satins, gold, silver and jewellery, cannot catch the eye.
Where can Mrs. Xing get this ginseng, it must have been given by Jia Lang.Just give Madam Xing a word, I'm afraid she didn't take the few thousand taels seriously.
Wang Xifeng was more and more in awe of Jia Lang's unrivaled ability, and at the same time lamented her own fate.This Mrs. Xing's life was worse than when she was a girl, but now she doesn't pay attention to thousands of children.
If you want her, dozens of cars are fine, but she doesn't want to buy thousands of cars for her daughter-in-law.
Ping'er is also smart, and Wang Xifeng did not hide the fact that she got 5000 taels from Jia Lang.
"Grandma, if you ask me, you should be more generous." Ping'er whispered in Wang Xifeng's ear.
"Your grandma and I don't have a son as capable as Jia Lang, so I should be more generous." Wang Xifeng immediately shook his head.
"Grandma, there are some things that other people don't know, don't I know? Ever since you took charge of the account, outsiders have regarded you as a brave man, and have even spoken ill of you.
Those who are full of filth, how do they know that this mansion has already been living without food, and it wasn't filled with grandma's dowry when they were just housekeepers.
The second wife just pushed it on grandma, and refused to pay any money.Grandma thought about it carefully, it was not Zhou Rui's mother-in-law who first mentioned this matter in grandma's ear about the profit.
I'm just a maid, so it's disrespectful when I say this, but I ask grandma to forgive me for the sake of my heart. "Ping'er slapped himself.
Wang Xifeng quickly grabbed Ping'er's hand and told her to continue talking.
"At the beginning, we also felt that it was not good to give out profiteering money, and it was detrimental to morality. But at that time, in order to repair the Lixiangyuan, grandma asked for thousands of taels all at once, so how could I get them out.
But, grandma, haven't you also watched Lixiangyuan? Whose room did the toys mentioned by the second wife end up in? "Ping'er reminded Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng has sharp eyes and a good memory, so he remembered it in a while.
Inside Baoyu's room.
Wang Xifeng thought about it up and down, and immediately understood.
Her good aunt is really amazing, even her own niece is cheated!
Wang Xifeng's face suddenly became ugly with anger.
"Don't be angry, grandma. If you want me to tell you, this is grandma's blessing. You see, now that there is no profit, grandma doesn't care about the house. In fact, the two balance out.
The third master over there clearly wants grandma to help, but in fact he wants to give grandma a kiss and compensate grandma for her dowry.
He is a person with supernatural powers, and he must know that grandma spent her own dowry to make up the shortfall, which is only 5000 taels. The total dowry you paid out back then was 1 taels. "Ping'er said, and finally became softer.
Hearing what Ping'er said, Wang Xifeng also agreed with it, nodding frequently.
"The most important thing is that I think Third Master Lang is only willing to pull our master now because he looked at the blessings accumulated by grandma in the past.
Look at our lord, he has changed a lot now, he doesn't mess around outside, he is a lot more decent, and he has been promoted to a rank in just one year.
Instead of giving the money to this elder tomorrow and that eunuch the day after tomorrow, it is better to spend it on Third Master Lang.
Third Master Lang has become a fourth-rank official at such a young age, so it may not be possible that he will not have a higher position in the future.And he is not a cold hearted person, let the emperor give us a higher official position than him, which shows his heart.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if Third Master Lang can't let our master go further, at least he has more money.The flow from his fingers was several times more than that of the second wife. After finishing speaking, Ping'er patted the medicine box.
Wang Xifeng suddenly became excited, and his mind suddenly became clear.
"What's the matter with money, both of his mothers are several times richer than your grandma." Wang Xifeng thought that if Jia Lian could move up the ladder, she would not have to worry about money in the future, and I don't know how many people would give her money.
"Here," Ping'er patted the box, "the ones who came just now, and the one who didn't come."
Ping'er didn't mention anyone's name, but Wang Xifeng understood.
"Then tell me, I want to..." Wang Xifeng immediately began to plan how to give gifts.
"Grandma," Ping'er yelled, crying and laughing, "what's the time now, just wait for the future."
Wang Xifeng slapped his forehead, how can he have that kind of skill this time.
"You little hoof, at the wrong time, you still hooked your grandma on purpose." Wang Xifeng scolded with a smile.
"Today is not the time, but tomorrow is the time. The New Year's gift from the Wang family included a few scarlet cloaks, and the rouge gouache from the south of the Yangtze River." Ping'er immediately reminded.
"Well, it seems that the cloak is not enough?" Wang Xifeng remembered whether there was only one cloak or two.
"There are three cloaks, and they are given to the three girls. Although Miss Lin said that she should not give her any flamboyant ones except for filial piety, and she doesn't look like a flirtatious person.
A while ago, didn’t you say that you made some thick gauze skirts with duck down glued with the newly produced green gauze made in the south of the Yangtze River? Didn’t you say that you planned to give it to Miss Lin? "Ping'er reminded.
This is when Wang Xifeng heard that Lin Daiyu and Jia Lang were engaged, and ordered Ping'er to find out and prepare to give it to Lin Daiyu, but he forgot about it after a while.
"That's right, I almost forgot." Wang Xifeng cheered up.
"I've already found it and installed it. Tomorrow, you and the second master must be going to say goodbye to our ancestors, and send them together at that time.
I also found the little rice gauze (beige-yellow to white) that time. Last time you went to Ms. Lin’s, you said that her window screen hadn’t been changed for a long time. When I delivered the letter a few days ago, I saw that the gauze hadn’t been changed.
Miss Lin doesn't like to make publicity, and if everyone doesn't change it, she just saves it.The color of the rice yarn this time is not correct, and the clothes are not good-looking. It is better to borrow flowers to present Buddha and send them together. "Ping'er hurriedly took out everything that had been prepared.
"You little hoof, you have already thought about it, and you are here to bury your grandma." Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's comprehensiveness, and was really moved in his heart.
"See what you said, you are my ancestor, how can I not support you." Seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't blame her for making her own decisions, Ping'er agreed happily.
"Hey, I've been eating honey today, and I can still spit out a few nice words." Wang Xifeng got up, and went to her closet to take out the early spring clothes.
"You and I have been with me for so many years. I know better than the second master Lian. Nuo, I have prepared it for you. Ping'er, don't blame your grandma for being cruel. As long as I can give birth to a son, I will carry you the next day." Be an aunt." Wang Xifeng stuffed the clothes into Ping'er's arms.
"Grandma, grandma, Ping'er is not because of this..." Ping'er explained again and again.
"Okay, I know. This is what I give you willingly. Instead of our master looking for it outside, it's better to let you take over.
You really think about me, and I don't treat you badly. "Wang Xifeng is telling the truth.
Ping'er kowtowed three times to Wang Xifeng respectfully.
Seeing Ping'er like this, Wang Xifeng's discomfort dissipated.
When Jia Lian became an official, he would not rely on himself in the future, but he would rely on him.From now on, Jia Lian will be the master of the house, and if he really wants to marry, he can't even say a word.
Jealousy is out of seven!
