[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Chapter 57 Being a king and an official, benefiting the country and the people

After Jia Amnesty and Xiao Ba left, Shui Lan shook her head, opened the roster, and was stunned by Xiao Ba's enigmatic handwriting, which was as natural as a chicken paw...

Ouch, my royal father.After so many years, the handwriting written by Xiaoba is still ugly.

Shui Lan chuckled, sat back at the desk, picked up a thin Langhao pen, swiped the ink and copied again what Xiao Ba had written.

Because the emperor liked Zhao Huizong's thin gold body, Shui Lan practiced thin gold calligraphy from the day she was able to hold a brush.In terms of preference, I like Wang Xizhi's characters more than Zhao Huizong's thin gold font and Shui Lan, but after 20 years of practice, Shui Lan has gotten used to the thin gold font, so Shui Lan didn't change it wording.

The Zhao family in Huaiyin bought a set of chicken wing wood official hat chairs and a set of painted multi-treasure plates with flowers, fruits and vegetables, totaling 28 million taels of silver and 5 taels of gold.

The Yin family in Huaidong built a large red sandalwood picture frame, with a total of 220 million taels of silver and 3 taels of gold.

The Liu family in Huaibei didn’t take pictures, so they donated 100 million taels of silver and 3 taels of gold.

.......

Shui Lan briefly glanced at the list that she re-copied, and unexpectedly saw the name of Xia's family in the capital among the top nine.The Xia family took a set of inner-made gold-plated dot emerald inlaid jewelry butterfly pattern jewelry, a total of 80 taels of silver.

The Xia family in the capital city, could it be the Xia family with only one daughter in the family, the Xia family who raised Xia Jingui, married Xue Pan, tortured Zhen Yinglian to death, and hang out with Xue Biao.

Well, if memory serves me correctly, then this is the Xia family.

Tsk, I didn't expect the Xia family to be so rich!

Shui Lan pursed her mouth, put the copied list aside, and then wrote it down again. [Five families of Zhao, Yin, Liu, Liu, and Du conferred the title of sixth-rank Chengdelang, among them, one of the children of Zhao, Yin, and Liu was allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and the three families of Xu, Wei, and Jin were granted the vacant position of sixth-rank Chengwulang. , the Xia and Shen families were given the vacant position of the sixth-rank Zhongxian Captain]

The words written by Shui Lan were handed over to Lao San, a literati, for polishing, and then announced to the world together with the wealthy businessmen who praised them verbally.

The top ten wealthy merchants who paid the most money were overjoyed when they received the award, while the rest of the wealthy merchants who were highly praised verbally were happy and disappointed. They were happy to know that their names were known to the world, but they were disappointed that they paid too little money, so that they only got A verbal compliment.

Fortunately, the rules have long been announced along with official documents, and the executors such as Jia Amnesty and Xiao Ba have strictly followed this rule. The third child is responsible for recording, supervising, and verifying, and they are all fair and just on the surface, so they fall out of the top ten The wealthy businessman with the highest ranking didn't say anything, he packed up his luggage, and went back to his respective homes with a dignified official document of verbal praise for his name.

Three days later, the sky was clear and cloudless.

After ordering all the packing, Mr. Zhang Dian, the special imperial envoy and grand master of the court, brought 500 million cash, grain and cold clothes purchased with 500 million silver, and all the sons and daughters of the Wucheng Army Command Division who escorted the supplies. , rushed to the disaster area.

Since Wang Ziteng had taken other posts to inspect the frontiers, the commanding department of the five cities was commanded by Jia Jing, who was now the commanding envoy of the Jingwei Commanding Envoy, crowned Prince Taifu, and General Zhaowu.

Accompanied by Master Zhang Dian, Jia Jing left Beijing to go to the disaster-stricken area for disaster relief. The unattended Jia Zhen was like a runaway horse, and she was about to go to heaven with joy.Because of Jia Jing's education, Jia Zhen is not too close to Niu Menglin as a bear child, so Niu Menglin wants to restrain her, but unfortunately Jia Zhen doesn't listen to her, and instead makes more noise, finally Niu Menglin can only accept it resentfully. hand, gritted his teeth and cursed Jia Zhen as a bastard, and counted the days when Jia Jing returned to Beijing with his fingers.

Hmph, my old lady can't deal with you, isn't there still your father?

I will be beaten up by your father at that time, but don't blame your mother for not reminding you.

Thinking about it this way, Niu Menglin, who is in good spirits, the wife of the super-pin Duke of Ningguo Mansion, took a bath Shi Shiran.After washing away the stinky sweat from chasing Jia Zhen, Niu Menglin changed into a clean and refreshing quilted brocade jacket and long skirt with wide sleeves, and went to the Rongguo Mansion next door to accompany the eldest princess on a horse-sling.

Niu Menglin, the current Emperor Sang's direct cousin, to put it in more common terms, is as stupid as Liu Mei, the wife of Tan Renjie, the current Minister of History, and Shuizhai's cousin Liu Mei.She is stupid and unruly, but she knows more about practical affairs than Niu Qian in the palace. This can be achieved from Shuijuan marrying into Rongguo Mansion. figure it out.

In fact, when the Niu family was deposed from the duke position and the whole family returned to their hometown Fengyang to settle down, Niu Menglin felt uneasy and fortunate.Niu Menglin was glad that she got married early, and that she could not be implicated in the messy things done by her own father, and she was worried that Jia Jing would hope that the decline of the family would be alienated from her relationship.

Fortunately, Jia Jing is a good person. He still treats himself as usual, and when he intends to turn a blind eye to the Niu family's affairs, he also warns himself not to anger his father-in-law because of his mother-in-law's death.

Niu Menglin was grateful for Jia Jing's hard work, and knew that part of the reason why he chose to do this was because of the emperor's cousin sitting on the dragon chair.Although the emperor's cousin always blamed her for being stupid, so beautiful and refined, she was the only one in the world, but Niu Menglin knew very well in her heart that Shui Lan still had a little affection for her.

Just like her father, who was so dazzled by the aunt who was born in the brothel, that soon after her mother died of illness, she ignored the worldly etiquette and couldn't wait to set her upright, her cousin still had a little affection for him.Otherwise, just because his father made such a big mistake, how could he just take away half of the family property and leave half to his father, so that he can take it back to his hometown and become a rich man with peace of mind.

With the help of Jia Jing, Niu Menglin sorted out the clues, and calmly sent away the unwilling father and family.Jia Zhen's brat was taught by her father who believes in making a filial son with a stick. As for herself, she should continue to live a peaceful and comfortable life as a super-class princess. She is responsible for her beautiful appearance and playing horses with the eldest princess every day.Today is no exception.Of course, after the routine horse hanging, Princess Chaoshuijuan complained that the bear child was disobedient, which was unavoidable.

Although the sturdy legend about the eldest princess still reverberates in the hearts of the children of the meritorious family who were ravaged by her in the past, it is hard to tell from the appearance now that she has already married a woman and had a lifetime like the queen's sister-in-law. Shui Juan, who was born in a dragon and a phoenix, has long restrained her aggressive aura, becoming deep and restrained.

"If the child is disobedient, just give him a good beating."

Shui Juan smiled and gave such a suggestion.

When Niu Menglin heard this, she immediately sighed: "I want to beat that brat too, but I can't catch up," that brat is very good at hiding and running.If you chase him in a straight line, he will take a roundabout way to avoid him, and if you learn to chase after him in a roundabout way, the brat will run away in no time.It must be because the child's father beat him too many times, this brat has already summed up the experience of escaping.

"Then we have to wait for cousin Jing to come back..."

Seeing Niu Menglin's mournful face, Shui Juan smiled again, fully demonstrating the royal version of gloating.Unexpectedly, the reality report came very quickly, and when the second son was born, Shuijuan finally experienced Niu Menglin's feelings when facing the bear child.The child is disobedient, Nima is still disobedient after one spanking, and can only be spanked twice, and the father and mother take turns to fight.

"I think so too. This kid can only rely on his father to take care of him."

Niu Menglin touched a card and played it. When Shui Juan was looking at the cards carefully, she seemed to be very gossiping. "I don't know if the princess has heard..."

Before Niu Menglin could say a word, she was interrupted by Princess Shui Jing who was at the same table and said, "We have three princesses here. I don't know which one Cousin Niu is calling?"

"It doesn't matter who you call. The three of you are all princesses. I asked you three at the same time."

Like Shui Juan, Niu Menglin doesn't like Shui Jing very much, but this does not prevent Niu Menglin from being friendly with her.There are only a few people in the ladies' circle, you come and go, everyone looks up and down, making appointments with each other is a kind of communication, as long as you are calm on the surface, who cares what you think...

"It's about the Zhen family."

Shui Hua, who has a gentle personality, is the princess who sees things most clearly, not one of them.When she was living in Ganquan Palace and waiting to marry in, Zhen Yu'er had a convulsion to win her over, but was punished by the queen's sister-in-law.From that cold attitude, Shui Lian understood that the emperor and empress did not want to see the Zhen family, and Shui Lan was to blame.

Shui Lan reluctantly pampered Zhen Yu'er because of the favor of the undead Supreme Emperor.Now that Zhen Yu'er is pregnant, the Zhen family, who thought they had entered the Sacred Heart, became rampant again.

"Isn't it spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital? In order to save the people of the world, the emperor called on the wealthy businessmen to raise donations with the promise of giving empty jobs..." Shui Hua paused, said 'huh', and finished collecting the gold leaves , to reshuffle and draw the cards, Shui Hua continued. "Actually, apart from wealthy businessmen actively donating money, some wealthy households and officials in the city also donated some money under the call of the Queen's sister-in-law..."

"Yesterday, I went to the palace to visit the empress's sister-in-law. Listening to what she wanted, I would also inform the emperor that I would issue a decree to raise the rank of life for some wives."

Shui Jing also took the mouth and continued. "Why, what kind of joke has this Zhen family who can't read the wink made a joke again?"

"Do you know that the Zhen family is related to the Ningguo Mansion? According to the information obtained by the Lai Er family, when the wife of the Zhen family was called by the empress to donate money, the wife of the Zhen family kept crying. , and finally donated 100 taels of silver, meaning..."

"Pfft, I remember..." Princess Shuijuan also remembered that scene and smiled happily. "I heard Brother Xi come back and said that when he learned that his wife had actually donated 100 taels of silver, Zhen Yingjia's face, who went to Beijing to continue her job, looked so ugly..."

Marrying such a reckless daughter-in-law deserves to be ashamed together.Don't think that the royal family doesn't have a detailed account in their hearts. This Zhen Yingjia has been favored by his father to serve as the president of the Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, and is in charge of Jiangnan Weaving. In which year, he earned no more than 80 million taels of silver.It is said that when entering Beijing, the gifts given to the important officials in the various dynasties were no less than a thousand taels.Just like the Jade Buddha that the Zhen family sent to the Rongguo Mansion, if you don’t have ten thousand taels of silver, you can’t buy it at all, so I’m ashamed to cry poorly, and when the empress empress, who has a reputation for being virtuous, only took out Paying 100 taels, is this slapping the empress's face, or my own face, or my husband's face!
