[Red Mansion] When Zhen Shiyin was reborn

Chapter 37 Tea at Miaoyu Department Plum Blossom Snow Emperor Yongchang Severely Punishes Debtors

Besides, when Jia She paid back the money and got benefits, the government and the public were very shocked. On the one hand, they complained about Jia She's troublesome things, and on the other hand, they envied Jia She's benefits.

Some families had some extra money and didn't owe a lot of money, so Baba went to pay it back, and they were still sitting at home, hoping to get some benefits from Emperor Yongchang.It's just that the one who gets the benefits is always the one who dares to eat crabs first, and the one who pays back the money later only gets some awards, such as titles, so don't even think about it.

But now that Jia Amnesty has paid back the money, he closes the door to thank the guests, and also arrests Jia Lian, forbidding him to go out, so as not to cause trouble.Moreover, because Jia Amnesty eliminated the house thieves, for a while, the atmosphere of the whole house was austere, Sister Feng handled the housework quite easily, and even her body was a little loose.

And because today's climate is quite abnormal, after the beginning of spring, we encountered a spring drought that has never happened in a century, drought in the south and flood in the north. The disaster relief alone made Emperor Yongchang burnt out, and because the local officials did not provide disaster relief in time, there were people's rebellions in western Hunan. Not to mention that at this moment, news of the death of Empress Tang of Shanghuangfu suddenly came.

Logically speaking, Emperor Yongchang should at least replace the moon with the day and keep the filial piety for 27 days, but the disaster is so urgent that Emperor Yongchang has no choice but to decree, "The first emperor's benevolence and righteousness must not be limited to minor details. Years, three days of national mourning are enough."

Although such disaster relief was timely, Emperor Yongchang gained a reputation for being unfilial.

After dealing with the disaster relief, Emperor Yongchang finally had his hands free to deal with the mystery of the emperor's death.

It turned out that the emperor had been taking erysipelas uninterruptedly since three months ago, and the erysipelas had accumulated in his body. This time he got a new medicine, after the emperor took it, the previous erysipelas was aroused, and the emperor died suddenly.

Seeking longevity seems to be the dream of all emperors in their later years, but most of them have the opposite effect. The longevity they want turns into a reminder in the end.

The emperor is a typical example.

Emperor Yongchang had no intention of severely punishing those Taoist priests, but he did not intend to let them go, so he punished them to receive a lifetime mausoleum for the emperor.

Those Taoist priests suffered from this unreasonable disaster, and thought that death was inevitable, but now they escaped to death, which made them overjoyed.

Speaking of it, most of the responsibility is not on those Taoist priests. In the past few months, those Taoist priests did not dare to give the emperor those elixirs of unknown efficacy.He only gave the emperor the medicine he was used to and felt harmless. It was harmless in the first place, and there were still side effects, but they would not show up so quickly.

The elixir this time was after the elixir furnace in the palace was built, and after the emperor went to the elixir room to see it for half a month, he got a elixir recipe from nowhere and went to refine it himself.

Because it was the first time he had refined the medicine, the emperor ate it with great anticipation, but, I'm afraid he never imagined that what was ushered in was not longevity, but death.

Those Taoist priests stopped again and again, but they still couldn't stop the emperor.

However, a lot of money was spent due to disaster relief and suppression of the epidemic. The Jia family returned more than four million taels and other small repayments. It's been used a lot.

And because of the drought in the south and the flood in the north, most places should have had no harvest in recent years, so Emperor Yongchang was exempted from taxes for two years.Therefore, the tax revenue for the coming year is almost negligible.

Emperor Yongchang had no choice but to urge those who owed the treasury to pay back the money as soon as possible.

It's just that there are still people who don't pay back, some really can't pay back, but most of the people who don't pay back just don't take it seriously.

Emperor Yongchang urged him several times, but there were still some people whose ancestors made great contributions but are now far away from the center of power, and refused to pay back.

Emperor Yongchang saw that there were still some people who were stubborn and unresponsive. In addition, there were a lot of troubles in recent days, so he became very impatient. He directly ordered the house to be ransacked and handed over the matter to Ruhai.

After receiving this thankless task, Ru Hai felt very helpless.It's just that the emperor's order was hard to break, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

As a result, those diehards have suffered the consequences one by one.However, Ruhai is still very humane and skips over the people who are now in decline and really can't afford it.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Yinglian who is waiting to get married at home.

Yinglian is now at home waiting to be married, and she doesn't go out much on weekdays, Daiyu is a little melancholy, so she often comes to Zhen's mansion to look for Yinglian during these days.

On this day, Daiyu also came, and the two talked for a while, and went to drink tea with Miaoyu together.

Miaoyu saw the two of them coming, and heard what they were coming, so she went to make tea.I saw Miaoyu personally holding a small tea tray filled with begonia-style carved lacquer filled with Jin Yunlong's birthday. Inside was a small kiln bell with five colors. She held it with Yinglian and Daiyu and said, "Try this Dahongpao." Daiyu took it all, took a sip, and asked what water it was.Miaoyu smiled and replied, "It's the rain from the old year."

A group of people talked for a while, and when the cup of tea was finished, Miaoyu did not refill the tea for them but brewed a new pot.

I also saw Miaoyu take out two more cups.There is an ear on one side, and the three official characters "べlea" are engraved on the cup, followed by a line of small real characters that read "Jin Wang Kai Zhenwan", and a line of small characters "Su Shi in Meishan, Meishan, in April of the fifth year of Song Yuanfeng, met in Bifu".Miaoyu poured a cup with Yinglian.The other was small in shape like a bowl, also had three pendulum seal characters, engraved with "point rhinoceros", Miaoyu poured another cup with Daiyu, then took out the green jade bucket she usually used, and poured it for herself. a cup.Yinglian smiled when she saw it: "Use such an elegant utensil for the two of us, and you are wronged to use this vulgar one." Miaoyu said: "Is this an vulgar utensil? I'm not talking crazy, I'm afraid you may not find it at home. Such a vulgar utensil." Daiyu laughed and said, "As the saying goes, 'follow the country into the country', when you come here, you will naturally degrade all the gold, jade and jewelry as vulgar utensils."

Miaoyu was very happy when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin's clever mouth is really admirable." It is full of praise.Dai Yuyin asked, "Is this also the rain of the old year?"

Miaoyu laughed and said: "You are such a person. I just praised you for having a clever mouth. You are a common man. How can you not even taste water? These are the plum blossoms I collected five years ago when I lived in Panxiang Temple in Xuantou. The snow on the ground, I got that grimace-green vase, and I couldn’t bear to eat it. It was buried in the ground, and it only bloomed this summer. I only ate it once, and this is the second time. Why can’t you taste it? The next year's rain is so frivolous, how can I eat it?"

Daiyu knew that although she meant to make fun of it, she didn't mean it maliciously, so she replied with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't keep the snow water for five years. So, in the future, I'd better come to my sister's place to soak it up." Brighten up." For a while, the three of them laughed together again.After having tea and sitting for a while, Daiyu asked Yinglian to come out.

The author has something to say:

Miaoyu's cups are from Chapter 41 of the original book.

There are also some dialogues that refer to the original work.It's just that the attitude has changed a lot, because the identities of the three of them are different from the original one.
