[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Thanks to the blessing of entrusting his younger sister Wang Xifeng to be fostered under the empress's name, Wang Ren also gained a lot of glory with him. Although he lived in Yuqing Palace with His Royal Highness, the empress still took care of him, not to mention monthly The marquis's salary was delivered in full, and even the usual necessities of life, the empress thought about him.

In addition to the generous salaries offered to ministers of civil and military affairs in the Yong Dynasty, some vain positions, such as dukes, princes, and earls, only received some lumi annually, and the annual salaries for the daily expenses of concubines in the harem were pitifully small. .

Of course, this is pitifully small only in relative terms.

According to the annual salary of an unmarried princess, not to mention the annual salary, the princess has 300 taels of silver a year in salary alone.According to the fact that 20 taels of silver can make a family of five rich for one year, the 300 taels of silver can be used for 15 years.It may seem like a lot, but in the imperial palace, which is known as the richest place in the world, this mere 300 taels of silver is pitifully small.As soon as the salary was obtained, rewarded the palace people, and bought the confidants, it was all spent in the blink of an eye. Therefore, if the people in the harem lived on the salary alone, they would have starved to death long ago. Compete for favor.

Wang Ren inherited the title of Zhongyonghou from his father, Wang Zisheng, who had fought for his life. According to the usual practice, he can receive 48 shilumi per month, which is about three taels of silver if converted into silver taels.And Wang Xifeng wears the title of county head on his head, except for the year, the annual salary is 100 taels.Calculating carefully, Wang Ren's title is not as valuable as his sister's title of County Lord!

The topic is a bit far away, let's talk about the Wang family.In fact, on the whole, Wang Ziteng is still a good person, at least he recognizes his cynical elder brother who is favored by Peter.It's just that the wife he married, plus his mother, regarded Wang Zisheng as a thorn in his side, and always thought that it was because of his existence that Wang Ziteng could not inherit his father's title of magistrate.

Of course, the aunt and nephew of the Shi family didn't think it was wrong. It was indeed because of the existence of Wang Zisheng.

Finally, the aunt and nephew resorted to various means to drive away Wang Zisheng's family. As a result, before the title of County Earl was warmed up, Wang Zisheng earned another title with his life.To be honest, the hearts of the uncle and nephew Shijia were very stuffy.

Wang Ziteng's wife, Xiao Shishi, thought that Wang Ren was only five years old, and she had been misunderstood since she was a child, so she could handle it well, but she made a good plan, but she didn't expect that Shui Lan would actually intervene and seal the baby Wang Xifeng. Not to mention the title of a county lord, he was also brought up in the palace. Now, Xiao Shi, who had evil intentions and wanted to raise Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng, was dumbfounded. He could only watch Wang Ren become more and more competitive. Fortunately, her aunt is in her eyes.

Xiao Shi's idea was that Wang Ziteng, his uncle, didn't know about it, so he was still sad that Wang Ren was getting less and less close to him.Shui Lan saw this in her eyes and laughed in her heart.This Wang Ziteng is a typical official and a man, and he doesn't think about why Wang Zisheng insisted on moving out even though he didn't even want a title.

To put it bluntly, if two wives die one after another, no matter how big the personality is, they will still feel something is wrong, not to mention that Wang Zisheng is a monkey spirit at all.

Shui Lan sighed, originally thinking that it was time to transfer Wang Ziteng back from the border, but now it seems that it is better to forget it.Based on his daughter-in-law's rebellious nature, maybe when he came back, his wife collected a lot of crimes about Wang Ren, and instigated Wang Ziteng to find ways to charge Wang Ren with the crime of being defiant and disrespectful to his elders.

Well, let Wang Ziteng continue to be in charge of the nine provinces, continue to inspect the border according to the order, and let the nine provinces be inspected!

In an instant, Shui Lan decided that Wang Ziteng would not be in the capital for a long time. Instead, she ran to watch Shui Ying, Wang Xifeng and others flying kites.Wang Xifeng was born in Baotai five years ago, the same age as Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion, and is now six years old.Compared with the sharp and fearless Feng Lazi in the original book, under the upbringing of the empress, although Wang Xifeng is still good at observing words and demeanor, but she is also gentle and courteous, very demeanor of a royal lady!

No, compared to Shui Ying, who is a bit crazy when playing, Wang Xifeng is obviously more well-behaved.

Shui Lan watched the kites flying by the sisters for a while, then sat on the stone bench and sipped tea.After dealing with the political affairs of the day, drinking a cup of hot tea and taking a nap with slightly squinted eyes are considered rare leisure time for Shui Lan, who is now the emperor's mulberry, so it's no wonder that Shui Lan doesn't like to move.

Wu Tingfang was also aware of Shui Lan's exhaustion, so after ordering the accompanying palace people to take care of several noble girls, she walked lightly to Shui Lan's side and massaged his temples.

Wu Tingfang's technique is very familiar, it is obvious that she often relieves fatigue with Shui Lan's massage.

Under Wu Tingfang's massage and kneading, Shui Lan closed her eyes comfortably.While Shui Lan was drowsy, suddenly a palace official came to report that Shui Juan and her son were visiting!

"That bastard Lian Er instigated you to come here again!"

Shui Lan and Shui Juan have always talked like brothers and sisters in ordinary people's homes, unrestrained and straightforward, so Shui Lan made fun of Jia Lian in front of Wu Tingfang and Shui Juan. "What? I ran into my uncle again in this Huangzhuang today!"

Now at the age of six, Jia Lian, who already knew Miss Miss, blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and said with a sweet smile. "Yes, Uncle Emperor, what a coincidence, when my mother accompanied me to Huangzhuang, I ran into Uncle Emperor and Auntie." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian looked left and right, as if anxiously looking for someone.

Seeing this, Shui Juan rolled her eyes speechlessly, while Wu Tingfang and Shui Lan laughed at the same time.

"Okay, don't look for my aunt's brother Lian. Sister Feng is flying a kite in the garden with Ying'er, Wu'er, and Mei'er. It's not here at all..."

Just as Wu Tingfang spoke, she saw Jia Lian rushing towards Huayuanzi like a spinning bow and arrow. The speed made Shuijuan, who was leading him just now, dumbfounded.

Wu Tingfang chuckled and teased Shui Juan. "Looking at Lian Er like that, I really can't bear to leave Sister Feng's eyes for a moment."

The Sister Feng that Wu Tingfang was talking about was naturally Wang Xifeng.It's strange to say that Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian seemed destined to be together. Jia Lian, who is usually a little cynical, followed his mother who is the eldest princess into the palace to ask for peace. .The big-bodied child is clamoring all day long to marry Sister Feng as his daughter-in-law, and usually jumps around in the palace. Today, he either picked flowers from the Imperial Garden and gave them to Wang Xifeng, or took Shuijuan's rouge and water powder to the palace. People brought it to Wang Xifeng.

Shuijuan also likes Wang Xifeng.Therefore, she is happy to see the success, and even more happy to watch the show.As for Shui Lan, she was shocked when she heard it for the first time, but then she shook her head and laughed.In the original novel of the Red Chamber, the reason why Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian was firstly that Mrs. Wang set the knot, and secondly, it was also a marriage between a family of aristocratic families.Shui Lan also thought that if she brought Wang Xifeng to the palace and had her raised by the empress, it might break the connection between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, but she didn't expect to be waiting here for her.To be honest, Jia Lian's virtue is really like his own father who is the mascot of Dayong.

Shui Lian intends to make this natural couple perfect, but she also wants to watch a play, so she tacitly agrees with Wu Tingfang and Shui Juan, the heartless mother-in-law.The imperial decree referring to the marriage was still in place, so Jia Lian wandered around Wang Xifeng anxiously.

No, not long after Jia Lian ran to the garden, the palace servants who were following her came to report. "Sister Feng's kite fell into the pond, Brother Lian asked for help..."

"Oh, help, I remember that Lian Er can't drink water, how can he help? "

Wu Tingfang asked curiously.

"Brother Lian helped. When the women in the palace salvaged the kite, Brother Lian was on the sidelines to help comfort Sister Feng."

As soon as these words came out, the three unscrupulous elders all laughed. "This is a way to help..." Shui Lan shook her head jokingly, "Sure enough, you and Enhou's seed, look at this style, it's just like that guy Jia She." So shameless!

Shui Juan rolled her eyes at Shui Lan, and hurriedly asked the palace servants. "What about Sister Feng, what is Sister Feng's reaction?"

"Sister Feng ignored Brother Lian, and Brother Lian was not discouraged, and continued to circle around Sister Feng persistently!"

"Keep watching!"

Shui Juan waved her hand, and after the palace servants retreated, Shui Juan turned to Shui Lan and said. "Second brother, Lian Er just asked me yesterday when the emperor's uncle would marry him to Sister Feng. I replied to Lian Er that your emperor's uncle plans to find a husband who can be a pillar of the country and has both civil and military skills for Sister Feng." Son-in-law. I thought that this kid knew he was in a hurry now, and he should study hard, but he was in a hurry, but he was in a hurry to refute me, saying that he was such a perfect, romantic talent who was printed in the same mold as his father , who can compare to him, and said that if the emperor's uncle doesn't marry Sister Feng to him, it will only prove one thing, the emperor's uncle is lame."

"You're really as thick-skinned as Enhou, and you have the guts to call yourself a romantic talent with that hand-cooked character!" He also slandered his uncle, thinking that he had a cute face, and he, as an uncle, would not dare beat up.Shui Lan shook her head and said with a smile.

"Juan'er, go back and tell that brat, when he can write well, he will be able to get his wish!"

"No more difficulty!"

As if she couldn't believe that Shui Lan would agree so easily, Shui Juan's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm talking about the second brother, I can hope to use the matter of Sister Feng to calm brother Lian's heart, not to mention that he is as versatile as his elder brother, but he must also be able to recite poems, right?"

Hearing that Shui Juan mentioned reciting poems to be against each other, Shui Lan thought of the farce at Shui Zhai's big wedding back then, and couldn't help saying with black lines: "Come on, just because he and Enhou have the same tune, I, as an uncle, will I'm sure that he will definitely inherit his father's reputation and become the next mascot of the Yong Dynasty. We can't ask too much for a mascot! I think it's hard for that brat to practice calligraphy well. him."

Ignoring Shui Juan's mournful expression, Shui Lan's words determined Jia Lian's future life - the next mascot of the Yong Dynasty!
