[Red Mansion] En Gong's painting style is wrong!

With ulterior motives, this word is used wisely.Charming instantly understood the meaning behind Jing Er's sister-in-law's words.

"Sister-in-law, the second younger brother of my consort's family doesn't suspect that the second elder brother intends to make Brother Zhu a prostitute, and he doesn't want his house to produce a serious scholar?"

The more Meimei talked, the more she felt that Wang Nianhui was thinking too much. There are not many scholars in the world, and there are many scholars.All the children of Jia Zheng's second room can read, so what if they all passed the imperial examination.Although the pursuit of being promoted, getting rich, and shining the lintel is vulgar, it is definitely on the minds of most scholars who are on their way to official careers. The big house is charming, and the worst is like this. So what about the standard playboys, as long as they have a good character and don't play casually, they will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.Therefore, being charming is peaceful for the future of the children. If you are willing to study, you can study. If you are not willing to study, it is also good to learn from her son-in-law.

Of course, Meimei's big-hearted attitude towards children is a bit strange in the eyes of contemporary people. For example, Jia Zhen is the only child under her knees, and Jing Er's sister-in-law who raises her nephew actually has the same attitude as Wang Nianhui, and wants to marry Jia Zhen and Jia Zhen. Fu's posthumous son taught Cheng Cheng, the pillar of the country with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor. The reason why he complained about Jia Zheng and Wang Nianhui was too hasty, just because Zhu Ge'er's health is really poor, and he can only take care of it carefully, so he will endure it now The enlightenment of mental strength will really affect the future longevity.

This reasoning doesn't matter Jing Er's sister-in-law can see it clearly, even the charm is transparent.After returning to Rongguo Mansion, while enjoying dinner with Jia She, Mei Mei briefly told Jia She what Jia Zheng planned to enlighten Brother Zhu.

Jia She paused for a moment with his right hand holding the chopsticks, and then regained his composure, his expression remained the same as usual, with a bit of cynical indifference. "That's his own brother, he can do whatever he wants, lest I, a big brother who thinks I'm good enough to intervene, thinks I'm meddling in my own business."

According to Jia Zheng and Wang Nianhui's urgency, if Jia She cares about his nephew's body and opens his mouth to delay Jia Zheng's enlightenment, he will definitely think that Jia She is meddling and uneasy.So Mei Mei nodded in agreement and said:

"There are younger brothers and sisters again. It is estimated that the expenses in the South Courtyard will be very high. Chunyu suggested to his wife that he can increase the monthly money for the younger brothers and sisters appropriately. After thinking about it for the wife, why not let the money increase on the basis of the monthly money increase?" The doctor sitting in the mansion makes some things like ginseng nourishing pills, and let the second room take it at will, what does the son-in-law think?"

"Let Chun Yu and Xia Yu figure it out. Anyway, our Rongguo Mansion has no shortage of things like ginseng."

It is true that there is no shortage of ginseng, but that is just an ordinary one. There are only a few or ten years old ginseng, but there is a shortage of ginseng that is more than a hundred years old and can be used to save lives.Of course, in the private coffers that have been harvested from Emperor Wen for many years according to the charm, there are a lot of ginsengs that are centuries old, or even those that are thousands of years old, but they are found by the snake.Therefore, to make ginseng Yangrong pills, it is not so generous to use the things in its own private warehouse, but to use ordinary ginseng stored in public pharmacies.

Although this is the case, the housekeeper's charm is not as good as Mrs. Wang in the original novel. She specially selected some rotten ginseng roots to make ginseng Yangrong pills and sent them to sister Lin, so the ginseng Yangrong pills she proposed to make are [-]% quality guaranteed.As for why she made such a proposal, it was to prevent it from happening, lest Wang Nianhui's current miscarriage would be blamed on Chun Yu and Xia Yu's too strict stewards.

"As a wife, I know what to do. The son-in-law doesn't have to worry too much about the affairs of the house. It's serious to help the prince's elder brother with peace of mind."

That's all for the couple.After dinner, Yu Mei went to take a bath first, while Jia She went to the study to look through his collection.Just as Jia She couldn't put it down to play with the antique fan he bought at a huge price, Yin Ding came in and complained.

"Master, the second master is here and says he has something important to discuss with you."

Normally, Jia Zheng would not easily go to the gate of Rongxi Hall when he had nothing to do. Now that it was at this point, Jia Zheng actually came to the gate. He was afraid that he really had something important to ask for.

Without changing his face, Jia Amnesty let the copper coins lead Jia Zheng in.

Jia Zheng came in, nodded slightly to Jia She, and took his seat with a reserved expression. The attitude of the official made Jia She subconsciously twitch his mouth.

The copper coins made tea for Jia She and Jia Zheng respectively. Jia She picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Second brother came to Rongxi Hall so late, what's the matter?"

As soon as Jia Amnesty asked him why he came to Rongxi Hall to look for him on this point, Jia Zheng didn't hide it, and said directly: "Brother should know how many cleanups my younger brother has raised." Bar."

Qing Ke refers to literati who help rich and noble families to make fun of or entertainers who teach playing and singing. According to Jia Zheng's lofty spirit, the Qing Ke he raises naturally belongs to the former type.Although the entire Rongguo Mansion is managed by two fifth-rank female officials, Chunyu and Xiayu, Jia Shek still knows that Jia Zheng has raised Qingke, but the number of Qingke is not a few but a dozen or so.

Jia Amnesty smiled mockingly in his heart, but said without revealing anything on his face: "Brother knows about this, and my second younger brother came here on purpose to talk to my brother about cleaning up customers, but what did this bunch of joking literati do wrong?"

"No, no." Jia Zheng waved his hands again and again, expressing that they were fine, and that was not the reason why he came to seek Jia Amnesty.

At this moment, Jia She already had a rough idea in his mind, but he still pretended to be confused, and said in a very straightforward and heart-wrenching way: "What is that for? We are blood brothers, so we have something to hide. Brother, you might as well say it straight."

Jia Zheng blushed inexplicably, and said embarrassingly, "Brother... the monthly expenses..."

Jia Zheng was really embarrassed to go on, but it was all about this, and Jia Amnesty might be a fool if he didn't understand.

Jia She, who was inexplicably wanting to laugh, held back his smile, and said in a puzzled way, "50 taels a month is not enough, so how much does my second brother want?"

Jia Zheng's face turned blue, apparently extremely dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty's words.

In Rongguo Mansion, she is called the housekeeper's wife in a charming and euphemistic manner, but in fact, all the affairs of the housekeeper are managed by Chun Yu and Xia Yu, two fifth-rank female officials who comb their hair and do not plan to marry.And as mentioned above, Chun Yu and Xia Yu are really strict housekeepers.At least since Wu Mei married into Rongguo Mansion and became the housekeeper's wife, the life of the second wife has not been very easy.Even Jia Zheng, an old man who likes to buy books, has only 50 taels of silver for him every month.

In fact, according to the current prices in the capital, 50 taels of silver is really more than enough. The 50 taels of silver are streamlined and carefully used, which is enough for a family of five for several years.However, due to the fact that the Tuo dynasty attached great importance to education, the printing industry was prosperous. Books can be bought with a few coins. 50 taels a month is really enough for Jia Zheng to buy a small house of books.But how should I put it, Jia Zheng is a scholar with aspirations and dreams. After he was sure that he would really embark on an official career in the future, he began to support like-minded Qingke before he started working.You must know that it costs a lot of money to raise Qing Ke, after all, not only Qing Ke himself, but also Qing Ke's family are needed, so the fixed cost of 50 taels of silver per month is not enough for Jia Zheng.

What should I do if the fixed expenses of 50 taels of silver per month are not enough? Jia Zheng doesn't want to keep less like-minded customers, so he can only try to recruit children to increase the upper limit of monthly fixed expenses.As the wife of the house, the charming Jia Zheng didn't dare to find him, so he could only find Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was also a generous master, or he didn't want to continue quarreling with Jia Zheng, so when he asked Jia Zheng how much money he thought he wanted every month, but Jia Zheng didn't answer, Jia Amnesty simply used his With a talent for calculating accounts, he and Jia Zheng carefully calculated the overall expenditure and income of the Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Zheng continued to keep his silence as gold and silently raised objections, Jia She changed the subject and expressed brotherly love: "Since you think that 50 taels a month is not enough for you to eat, then 100 taels is fine." You must know that even though I am a son-in-law, I can only withdraw 80 taels of silver from the public every month."

What Jia She said was true, but unfortunately Jia Zheng didn't think much of it, and immediately broke the silence, a little annoyed: "Brother, what are you talking about? Where did you get the money for the antique calligraphy and painting that you bought back home?"

"Second brother's question is funny." Upon hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia She's complexion turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "Brother, where did I get the money to buy antique calligraphy and paintings! Oh, of course it's you." The princess’s sister-in-law loves my brother and me. Knowing that my eldest brother only has a hobby of appreciating and playing with antique books, gold, silver and jade, she specially scooped up her private house to subsidize it. What’s the matter, is the silver that the princess secretly subsidizes to my eldest brother also counted as public expenditures? The second younger brother should refrain from speaking and acting cautiously, you must know that if this word spreads, the second younger brother will not be pleased, maybe even the current official position will be wiped out, and the former white body will be restored."

Jia Zheng now realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately blushed, admitting his mistake.

Jia Amnesty chuckled, seeing Jia Zheng's sincerity in admitting his mistakes, he simply resorted to a trick. As for whether it is good or not, it depends on how Jia Zheng understands it.

Jia She said: "Second brother is raising Qingke. Since I really feel that the monthly expenses of 100 taels of silver are not enough, then let your daughter-in-law subsidize you. Although your daughter-in-law's dowry is not as good as that of your princess sister-in-law Ten miles of red makeup, but overall it’s not bad, it’s enough to subsidize your maintenance.”

Jia Zheng didn't answer, Jia Amnesty said persistently, "Don't feel embarrassed, like my elder brother, don't you feel at ease with your daughter-in-law's money? After all, you raise Qingke for the sake of having someone to help and consult with you. , it’s also for this family, so there’s nothing wrong with you taking Wang’s dowry to support Qing Ke.”

Jia Zheng...

I don't want to comment on Jia She's words, but somehow I feel that it makes sense?

Jia Amnesty's ability to talk about unreasonable things is still very strong, and a blind BB successfully fooled Jia Zheng who had come to ask for money so that he could support Qing Ke so hard that he really felt that it made sense to use his daughter-in-law's money to support Qing Ke.As a princess, she is so charming and powerful, but she is willing to donate her own money to support Jia She's expensive hobby, so Wang Nianhui should also take out all the dowry money for him to support Qing Ke.

Jia Zheng felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so after returning to Rongqing Hall, he directly opened the mouth to Wang Nianhui.
