Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

"That shows how capable Third Sister is." Jia Lu praised her, since good words don't cost money anyway, and said,

"When I just took over, I happened to be fooled by Zhang Daliang's family. I must have suffered from my sister-in-law, otherwise I would have suffered. I don't know if the third sister has encountered such things?"

"How could you be at a disadvantage? The fourth girl showed her power and discovered the tricky things about Zhang Daliang's family. No one in the whole family knew about it.

I have also met some people. Which family or government has such a small number of people? I also learned from you. I am checking the accounts. "

Jia Lu knew that she was just talking, but how could she move anyone who was not a long-standing old slave and Wang Xifeng dared not move?It's just that she simply misses it.

"The people in our house are indeed too ostentatious and domineering, are they more masters than us who are masters?"

"Who made us inferior?" Tanchun sarcastically said, and then said again,

"If they are more responsible, we should respect them more, but they are all greedy, and an egg costs ten dollars. They don't even know how to make a draft! Silver, even the monthly bills are almost gone!"

Hearing this, Jia Lu's eyes lit up, "Oh, it's the end of the year, even if you are short of money, shouldn't you be short at this time?"

"Why?" Tanchun's eyes were full of doubts, she really didn't know why there would be no shortage of money next year.

Jia Lu choked. She wanted to inquire about the financial situation of the Rong Mansion, but she didn't expect the housekeeper to look like he didn't know the situation. How do you know this if you haven't been in touch with these things?

Later, Jia Lu explained to Tanchun in detail where their family's income came from, why they would be more abundant next year, and so on.

Tanchun was confused when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "I have never seen any income, and there is not even a little spare money in the account book!"

Even Jia Lu had heard about the income and expenditure of the Rong Mansion for a long time, and she couldn't help but be surprised. Every family visits relatives and friends at the end of the new year, and the most concentrated days are for banquets and dinners. No family will leave some leisure time. Money is used for human relations, how can there be no money at all?

It is strange that Wang Xifeng is willing to let go, this housekeeper is a hot potato, oh no, the potato is still edible and has some uses, but this housekeeper is useless at all, whoever sticks to it will be unlucky!

Seeing that Tanchun was in a hurry, Jia Lu could only comfort her, "Third sister, don't worry, maybe the second sister-in-law didn't explain clearly, or maybe it was with the eldest sister-in-law, just go and ask!"

After leaving Qiushuangzhai, looking at the gloomy sky, Jia Lu sighed, "The storm is coming!"

Mo Ran looked at Tiandao, "I'm afraid it doesn't look like rain, it should be snow, but the girl has an umbrella and coir raincoat, so she is not afraid of it even if it rains."

Not knowing what Mo Ran said, Jia Lu laughed loudly and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid of it, let's go back!"

The next day, I heard that Tanchun went to look for Wang Xifeng, and I didn't know what he said afterwards, and I didn't see that the family was saving money and preparing for the new year as extravagantly as in previous years. In addition to Jia Lu, Tanchun, and maybe a Baochai, the girls None of them knew the difference this year, nor did they know where they got the money in the end.

But no one cares about this, it is not as eye-catching as Baoyu's incident that day, he went to a banquet and put on the peacock fur that the old lady gave him, he didn't want to have a hole in it, and was lectured by the old lady and his wife.

This year, Zhenqian has been working for three years, and there have been many twists and turns throughout the year, but the overall situation is getting better and better, especially the good things in Ningguo Mansion. Pregnant, and will be a father next year, he is the first-class luck.

For the next two children, Jia Qiang adopted the princess, and even Jia Lu became the son of the Hou family. One after another, the good deeds were all squeezed into this year. It seemed that God felt that the blessings were not enough, so he added another a sum.

In the twelfth lunar month, there was a news that our Dakang Dynasty navy had defeated the pirates of the Qianxiang Kingdom in the coastal battlefield. A male heir can be regarded as a firm foothold in the court.

Jiang Zining, the commander of the navy, is the future uncle of the Ning Mansion. He has risen a little higher in this war. Now he is the commander of the navy and is now a third-rank general. Yes, among them is the benefit of his military exploits, which is also the reason why he is the emperor's cousin, and no one dares to take his credit.

But unfortunately, the king of Nan'an County was reluctant to part with his influence in southern Xinjiang, and he was unwilling to return to Beijing to plead guilty. Taking advantage of the advantages of the southern border, he rebelled. coming.

Although the Rong Mansion did not have as many happy events as the Ning Mansion, it was not bad. An in-law of the Rong Mansion, Prince Teng, was promoted.

Second, Jia Yucun of Liaozong in Herong Mansion was also promoted, and he was hired as the chief minister, assisted in military affairs, and counseled the government, and became the second backer of Rong Mansion;

The third is Jia Zheng, who has finally moved from the position of the five-rank Dianmao Xianggong for more than [-] years, and has been appointed as a food officer on a foreign mission.

Another Wang Xifeng finally became pregnant after many years. This is not only Jia Lian's eldest son, but also the eldest son and grandson of Rongfu's next generation, with different identities.

The Jia family, with so many happy events, planned to open a ancestral hall to worship the ancestors after discussing it, and told the ancestors that the juniors were considered promising and lived up to the prestige of the ancestors.

The Rongguo Mansion, the Ningguo Mansion, and the He's Mansion were set up, and sacrifices were a major event. Ningguo Mansion, as the head of the clan, was even more busy. Except for the Zhang family, even the pregnant Shen family and little Jia Lu were ordered to come here. Alright, the men outside, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong led some promising men from the clan to get busy up and down.

The Ningguo Mansion is fairly secure, after all, the Zhang family has been in charge for many years.Rongguo Mansion originally appointed Wang Xifeng to preside over it, but after only two days, she got tired and developed a little redness, which frightened Jia Lian so much that she refused to let her move.

There is no way, Wang Xifeng can only step back, she is not here, Mrs. Wang has promised for two days, but she can't stand it anymore, Mother Jia has no choice but to let the Chen family take charge of it with the girls. The stepmother didn't have the qualifications, but there is no one else, but fortunately, everything is in the Ning Mansion, and she doesn't need to do anything more.

On that day, the Ningguo Mansion opened the ancestral hall, and people cleaned it, packed up the offering vessels, invited the Lord God, and cleaned the upper house to prepare the images of the remains of the offering. Before that, the bright yellow silk bag containing the reward silver was burned to the ancestors.

The door was opened wide, a banquet was set up, and many members of the Jia family were invited to the banquet. There were a lot of people in the Jia family, especially in the past two years, after the study of the family was suspended and Jia Jing rectified the family rules, the young people of the family were more promising, but they were not. You can also do business from overseas, and you can make a lot of money.

This day is going well, who doesn't buy two servants, taking advantage of this day when the tribe gathers to show off, everyone brings a couple of servants and maids, and there are more and more people, fortunately The Ning Mansion has a large territory, few masters, and few servants, so it can accommodate these people.
