With the power of the Wang family, it is indeed a breeze to find a mere clerk from the fifth rank, and it is not even a problem to be promoted by half a rank.However, this was in the past, and today, Mrs. Wang is really not sure.

After being summoned by Jia Mu to explain the whole story in detail, Mrs. Wang only had wry smiles on her face, she didn't know what to say at all. In the end, it was Jia Mu who got angry, so Mrs. Wang faltered and said the reason.

"Old lady, you are really embarrassing me. In the past, I would go there whenever I said anything. But now this stall... that's all, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In fact, I just went there not long ago. I went to my natal family, but it turned out that the old man of my natal family was not at the house, the old lady refused to see me because of her illness, and the second sister-in-law even sneered at me, and she never gave me any face. And my eldest brother from my natal family, he simply I asked the housekeeper if Zhuangzi had sold it in front of my face, and said that the household department was waiting to ask for it, if it drags on for a while, I am afraid that the elder Xi of our mansion will come to ask for it again."

Mrs. Wang's words can be said to be indirect, Rao Jia's mother had already guessed seven or eight points after hearing half of it, and now she was even angry and ashamed, her old face was flushed, and she didn't say a word for a long time .

Jia Zheng, who hadn't left yet, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said, "It's just that it's not successful. When I report on my work at the end of the year, I will hand in my paperwork. I think I can be transferred. Otherwise, it's not bad to be sent to know the state."

With Jia Zheng's ability, it is basically hopeless to be transferred to Yan Ke, but if it is just to send a Zhizhou, it is really not difficult.The only trouble is, I am afraid that the possibility of being transferred to a barren place will be very high. If this is the case, it will go against Jiamu's previous wish.

"Master, it's really not that I don't want to give up this face, it's just that on the other side of my natal family, the one who loves me the most is the old lady of my natal family. She doesn't want to see me, what can I do? My elder brother is the only one. I don't have a heart, even if I speak badly, I will coax him a little later and he will definitely not care about me, but it is useless to coax him!" Mrs. Wang was very embarrassed, she could see it Jia Zheng got really angry, but she really couldn't do anything about it. A married woman depends on her parents, and her elder brother and sister-in-law are not reliable at all.Now, the old lady of the Wang family who loved her the most in the past doesn't care about her, what else can she do?

"Forget it, it's only the end of June, and it's still a long time before the end of the year. Maybe your natal family will calm down by then." Jia Mu didn't want to offend the Wang family at this time, and she thought from the bottom of her heart that the Wang family's behavior The action was really nothing, it was because she herself was terribly annoyed at Jia She, not to mention the Wang family who gave up more money for no reason.

All blame Jia She, that bastard! !

"It's okay. My natal old lady loved me the most in the past. Even if she was really angry, it shouldn't be too long." Mrs. Wang understands the meaning of her natal family to a married woman, and she cares more about her natal family's treatment than anyone else. Her own attitude, if she hadn't been forced to help, she would not want others to know her natal family's attitude towards her.However, after thinking about it again, how can parents be angry with their children all the time?It wasn't her fault in the first place, and it would take a few months at most before it would be back to normal again.

Not only Mrs. Wang thinks so, but Mother Jia also thinks so.There are still more than five months before the three-year return to Beijing to report on his work. At that time, after the assessment and evaluation, it will be time for transfer. At that time, Jia Zheng must find a fat job.

Mother Jia secretly made up her mind, and after a moment's hesitation, she sent Jia Zheng away, leaving only Mrs. Wang to speak.

"Second daughter-in-law, there are some things I can't say clearly in front of Zheng'er. Although his temperament is much more stable than that of the boss, he is honest. He knows how to learn and write articles all day long, and he has no understanding of the world at all. well……"

With a long sigh, Mother Jia ordered someone to bring over the account book. Although Nala Shuxian is in charge now, as the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia will keep an extra copy.She didn't say anything, and directly gave it to Mrs. Wang.Although the latter has no literary talents, fortunately, things like reading the account books are not difficult for her.

Half a moment later, Mrs. Wang's hands trembled so much that she could hardly hold the account book anymore. She looked up at Mother Jia with shock and despair on her face: "Old lady! Is there really no money in our house?"

Although Mrs. Wang really didn't want to believe what she saw, she knew in her heart that Mother Jia would never joke about this kind of thing, especially after she raised her eyes and saw the sad expression on Mother Jia's face. Madam nearly fell over.

"Yeah, our family has run out of money, and the public storehouse has almost been emptied, and the rest are just grown-up materials and some hard-to-sell ornaments. It's the end of June now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I don’t know where the gift is, but I’m interested in waiting for everyone to give the gift before we give it. It’s fine in the capital, but what about the old relatives at the other end of Jinling? There’s no money…”

Things like boxing etiquette are not necessarily a loss of money. After all, if you give it away, others will give it to you, and the value is mostly the same. Most of the time, there is even some profit. People in Rongguo Mansion will send gifts, but they don't need to return gifts.However, except for close friends in the capital, most people need to prepare etiquette in advance and send someone to send them there early.Like the Lin family in Yangzhou, old relatives and friends like Jinling City, they all need to be sent there at least a month in advance.

But today's Rongguo Mansion can't even come up with the money to buy rituals.

In fact, it's not impossible to get it out at all. Although nine out of ten warehouses in the public house are empty, the private money in each house is not used at all.Most of the so-called 80 taels of silver owed came from the company, and a few were paid by the houses first, and then filled up with the company's inventory.

To put it simply, only the public warehouse was evacuated, and the other two houses, including Jia Mu's private warehouse, were full. Although there was a slight loss, the problem was not serious, at least not at all.

"Old lady, what should we do now?" Mrs. Wang's hand holding the ledger was trembling, and her voice was full of unconcealable fear.

It is true that the private treasury of the two houses suffered little loss, but the problem is that the daily expenses of everyone in the mansion are taken from the public house, which includes the monthly allowance of the master and servant of the whole mansion, which is sent to Three festivals and two birthdays, filial piety to Shangfeng's ice charcoal, and occasional celebrations with relatives and friends.Here are the first pens and pens, which one does not need silver taels?According to the original practice, the mansion can receive the grain income from the Zhuangzi every year, as well as the interest earned by the shop.These incomes are completely sufficient to maintain the operation of the entire Rongguo Mansion, ensure that everyone lives comfortably, and even have a lot of money left over.

Now that the public in the mansion has no money, it means that the whole Rongguo Mansion is facing a situation of not knowing what to do.

——Unless someone adds money to the company.

Mrs. Wang is not afraid that she has no money to spend, but she is afraid that Mother Jia will force both houses to take out money.She knew very well that if this was the case, the two parties would have to spend 10,000+ each at the end.It's not that she can't take out the money, but she doesn't want to take it from the bottom of her heart.I also want to know that their second wife is just a passer-by in the mansion. Although the Rongguo mansion has not yet separated, what can they do next?To put it bluntly, after Jiamu's hundred years, this family will score regardless of division.At that time, even the second wife will be able to share part of the family property, but the big head will definitely fall on the eldest son.

"Old lady, what are you talking about? Regardless of other things, how about the Mid-Autumn Festival rituals? Is it possible that the two houses should each share the festival rituals?"

This is the best way Mrs. Wang can think of. Although there are some disadvantages, compared to spending real money to go out, it is the best way for each family to return to etiquette.After careful calculation, she only wanted to go back to her natal family. Since Jia Zheng planned to be transferred at the end of the year, he could even save the tribute to Shangfeng.As for the other people, naturally the big house should worry about it.

"Everyone?" Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang a cold look, "Let's not talk about how Jinling's old man will deal with it, just talk about Min'er, is it simply omitted? There is also Baolinghou's Mansion , are you planning to have this marriage?"

"No, old lady, you have misunderstood me..." Mrs. Wang showed embarrassment, but she thought to herself, of course, these gifts were returned by the big house, what did they have to do with her.

"Hmph! Rituals are different, so why don't you just mention the separation? I'm not dead yet, so you're hoping that this family won't get married?"

The expression on Mother Jia's face was extremely ugly, and without waiting for Mrs. Wang to say anything, she just slapped the young couple next to her fiercely, causing Mrs. Wang to kneel down immediately, her body shaking like a shuttle.

In fact, Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Jia's mother also guessed a little bit, and even Jia's mother could understand her quite well, but understanding is one thing, but actually implementing it is another.If it is really as Mrs. Wang said, it is tantamount to dividing the family secretly. If this is the case, what is the point of her being an old lord?

There must be money in the public.

"You don't need to say any more, I've already thought about it, including me, each of your two houses will give another 10 taels of silver, and a total of 30 taels will be stored in the palace for flowers. Just save the matter of crying poor, coax That's all for outsiders, coax me... Huh! As for the future, when Zheng'er finds a fat job, he won't be short of money, and I won't force you to take it out, just keep it for yourself alright."

"Is that true?" Mrs. Wang looked up in surprise. She hadn't had much interest in the transfer before. One of the important reasons was that even if she had money, it might not always be in the private treasury of the second room.In addition to the practice of parents not separating the family, there is another saying that the elders have no private property.As long as Mother Jia is still there, apart from the fact that Mrs. Wang can guarantee that the dowry she brought from her natal family is hers alone, everything else actually belongs to the entire Rongguo Mansion.It's fine if Mother Jia doesn't pursue it, but once they do, they won't be able to keep anything.

However, as soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang cried inwardly that something was wrong, lest Jia's mother would get angry because of this.But he wanted to defend himself a few words, but couldn't find the right words for a while.Mrs. Wang just knelt on the ground with an embarrassing expression, lowering her head in remorse.

"Finally say what's in your heart? Oh, well, who can be selfish? Mrs. Wang, just remember that Zhu'er is 11 years old, and sister Yuan is also nine years old. Watching the children's day-to-day If it's longer than a day, don't you think about them?"

As the child gets older, there will be more and more places where money is needed.Brother Zhu wants to learn when he grows up, he needs to give gifts to his husband, he needs to buy high-quality pens, ink, paper and inkstones, rare ancient books, he needs to see his wife, and he needs to make a betrothal gift for marriage.Sister Yuan is a girl's family, and the dowry is also a large sum of money, but Mother Jia has already decided to let Sister Yuan enter the palace, so the dowry can be saved, but the money spent in the palace to seek a future is no more than a piece of money Thick dowries are less.All of these could have been taken from the public account, but who made Jia Amnesty empty out his family's wealth, and now he can't even buy rituals, so he no longer tries to make money, and he is afraid that the future will become more and more difficult.

Mrs. Wang actually understands all these principles, but the Wang family has a common problem, they always only see immediate benefits, and completely ignore long-term plans.

After Jiamu's words, Mrs. Wang was enlightened like she was enlightened.

That's right, it's meaningless to care about these small profits in front of you. You must take a long-term view. In addition to trying to save money, the more important thing is to make money.

Make money!Make money! !Make money! ! !

With a look of determination on her face, Mrs. Wang assured Mother Jia: "Don't worry, old lady, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. If the old lady of my mother's family doesn't want to see me, I will kneel for a day and a night, and I will ask her to marry you." understanding!"

Isn't it a loss of face?Compared with the real benefits, what is the face?As long as her natal father and brother can help to transfer Jia Zheng to the salt class, let alone sarcasm, she will endure even yelling at her openly, and even go out and get beaten, it's worth it!

With this in mind, Mrs. Wang went straight to the Wang family early the next morning with a sense of heroism.

As soon as she entered the gate of Wang's house, she knelt down with a plop.

……

For the Wang family, Rongguo Mansion is simply a place where strange flowers gather, and each one is more open-minded and shameless than the other.In fact, the Wang family is not completely unreasonable. In fact, after Mr. Wang's patient explanation, everyone in the Wang family understands that it is inevitable to return the owed money, and Jia Amnesty is for their own good.

However, I understand the truth, but I just don't want to see you again.

Not to mention Jia Amnesty, but the Wang family doesn't want to see anyone or anything that has anything to do with the Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family.There is no way, as long as they see something related to the Jia family, all the Wang family will involuntarily think of the 5 million taels of silver.

What a gaudy silver! !

all gone...

It can be seen from this that Mrs. Wang's open-minded temperament when she sees money is indeed inherited from the Wang family.It's not even just hereditary, this temperament can also be contagious, don't you see that even the female family members married into the Wang family love yellow and white things in the same way.Therefore, after the repayment of the owed money, the Wang family could only wish to blacklist all the people related to the Jia family, at least in a short period of time, so that they would never be seen again.

As soon as I saw them, I thought of those white silver coins.

Distressed, heartbroken, myocardial infarction, I can't wait to rush up and fight with them! !

Therefore, when the housekeeper came over in a hurry to report that Mrs. Wang had returned to her mother's house, not to mention the second wife of the Wang family, even the old lady couldn't resist dropping the teacup in her hand.

However, Mrs. Wang not only has her eye for money inherited from the Wang family, but also comes from the Jia family's shamelessness.She made up her mind to kneel until the Wang family softened her heart, no one would persuade her, at most she moved from the main door to the second door under the begging of the housekeeper.

Kneeling from the first half of the morning to the second half of the morning, Mrs. Wang refused to eat or drink, and stuck her neck to the end.In the end, she didn't see the old lady of the Wang family, but met the old man Wang, his son and his son who had returned home.

That's right, there are three people, father and son, and even Wang Ziteng, who doesn't go back to the mansion often, has come back, and he was the first one to come back. When he saw Mrs. Wang, he was full of surprise: "You are short of money or something?" What? Been kneeling for a day? Then you must be short of a lot of money?"

Mrs. Wang was dizzy from her knees, but when she heard her little brother Wang Ziteng's teasing, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted out of anger.Fortunately, Wang Ziteng was just talking casually. Seeing that his sister's complexion was not right, he immediately changed his mind and said, "What's the matter? What can't be said properly, why do you have to kneel here? It's okay, don't be stubborn, get up quickly stop."

While talking, Mr. Wang and Wang Zisheng also came back one after another. Before they had time to express surprise to Wang Ziteng who had returned home suddenly, they saw Mrs. Wang kneeling in the second door with her neck stuck, and she was speechless.

Come on, if the matter gets out of hand, then there is no need to hide it, let's just talk about it directly!

In the end, Mrs. Wang's wish was fulfilled.Although she still couldn't see the old lady of the Wang family in the end, the old man Wang agreed to her, and would help Jia Zheng find a way to transfer him later, not necessarily to the salt class, but at least he would help him find a job. The magistrate of a wealthy state.

That's enough.

<<

Regardless of what happened in Rongqingtang or the other side of the second room, it can't be hidden from Nala Shuxian.To be more precise, she couldn't escape the eyes of Nanny Rong.Rather than helping the housekeeper to manage affairs, Nanny Rong would actually rather be a transfer station for news, scouting around for news, and even bought a lot of eyeliners for this, to ensure that no matter what happened in Rongguo Mansion, big or small, she would not be able to escape Her eyes.

Regarding this, Nala Shuxian was quite powerless to complain.

In the past, in the East and West Sixth Palaces, all kinds of gossip were extremely important, but in the Rongguo Mansion, there is really no need to be obsessed with those trivial details.Nala Shuxian already knew about Mother Jia's plan, and it was nothing more than changing Jia Zheng to a position that was convenient for making money, and that was enough. She was really not interested in listening to the detailed explanation inside, and Nanny Pianrong was very interested.

"...It was too late to say it, but I heard the second wife tell the old lady that the matter has been settled, and I just wait for the next year to see the second master of politics to be transferred! Maybe I can be promoted by half a level! The truth is, in three years, the magistrate has [-] snowflakes in silver. Although the second master of the government can be transferred to a magistrate, but if he only wants to make money, he will definitely get as much money as the magistrate!"

Nanny Rong spoke with gestures and gestures, just like a storyteller.

Nala Shuxian was speechless, but Twelve Gee on the side clapped her hands and applauded, and asked, "Why are you so optimistic about Mr. Zheng Er? I don't think he has such a brain. You must know that making money is also a skill." job."

"Master, what you said is true, but even if you don't believe in the Second Master Zheng, you still have to believe in the Second Wife!" After getting the applause, Nanny Rong became more and more snarky, "The Second Wife is the daughter of the Wang family, the most capable of the Wang family. What is it? Making money! And the old lady said beforehand that the money earned by the second house is not going to the public account, it is all their own private money! Tell me, is the old slave trying to take care of them?"

"That's true!" Twelve nodded fiercely, "Second uncle Zheng is from the fifth rank. Although there are many official positions he can choose, there are only a few who can make money... Well, why don't I push him and let him Climb up?"

"Don't mess around!" Nala Shuxian turned her head and glared at Twelve, "It's his business how he goes about it, what are you doing by mixing it in?"

Twelve was not annoyed when he was scolded, he was not a targetless person, so he naturally had his own considerations for saying this.After thinking about it carefully, Twelve decided to leak a little word, at least to pave the way for his future behavior, so as not to frighten Nala Shuxian in time, it's a small matter, and it's a big deal to get beaten back.

In fact, Twelve's idea is very simple. Jia Zheng probably won't be able to get in at the salt class. In conclusion, Jia Zheng was most likely sent to a wealthy state to be his fifth-rank prefect.

Knowing the state is only the first step. After thinking about it, Jia Zheng has tasted the sweetness and will definitely not return to Beijing in a short time.Then, as long as there are no major mistakes during his tenure, promotion will be much easier than in the capital.I believe that after a few terms, it will be a matter of time before he is promoted to the fourth rank magistrate.And once promoted to the magistrate, then every move can hardly escape the eyes of the superiors.Count the time again...

"It's the 51st year of Duan Leap. If Uncle Zheng's official career goes smoothly, when the new emperor comes to the throne, he will almost appear, and then he can be snapped by that master..."

Saying that, Twelve gestured to wipe his neck.

It's one thing not to like the second room. If something happens, let's not talk about the impact on the entire family, but what should Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan do in the future?There is a beheaded father, they don't think about it in the future.Twelve Yuan was not a cruel person, and besides, there was only suspicion between the eldest and second wife, and it wasn't that there was a mortal hatred.

"Then is there any way to save the life of the Second Master Zheng? It is impossible to persuade him not to be greedy. At this time, even if he is unwilling to make money, the old lady and the second wife will help him." Nala Shuxian is particularly helpless, she is not so morally noble that she thinks corrupt officials deserve to die, the problem is that it doesn't matter what she thinks, the key is that grandpa's eyes are spotless.

"Promote! Help him, let him be promoted to a high official early, to attract the attention of the superiors, and get him down first while the saint is still in good health. Don't worry, the saint is very talkative, and he will never It’s the second uncle’s death.” If it drags on for a few more years, it will be called a dead end.

Mrs. Wang would never have imagined that she had asked her natal father and brother for help in this side, and the big house in the other side was also busy with one purpose, to find a high-level fat job for Jia Zheng quickly, so that he could embezzle and get in as soon as possible!

The left and right can't stop Jiamu and Erfang from joining forces to die, so let them do what they want, as long as they get back before they really kill themselves.

Da Fang's abacus was crackling, especially Twelve, and he thought of another thing.I still remember that Emperor Changqing once praised Jia She, but Jia She didn't make a tailor-made life plan.Although I can't remember the specific details, I still remember the general content twelve, including Yushitai...

When Jia Zheng is about to kill himself, let Jia Amnesty do a righteous extermination of relatives, which can not only save some merit, but also save Jia Zheng's life.As for the gratitude of Jiamu and the second room, there is no need to hold out hope. I am afraid that when the time comes, Jiamu will either be pissed off directly, or not far away from being pissed off.

As Twelve ran back and forth between Zhang's house and Zhang's house, Jia's mother and the two families also gave out 10 taels of silver one after another to maintain the operation of the house.As for the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, it is not difficult to buy it if you have enough money.And when the boxing gifts from other families are delivered, and the hatchback is calculated, the Rongguo Mansion not only did not lose money, but also made a small profit.It's a pity that even if they made a small fortune, some of them were all kinds of antique jade wares, but the silver was really scarce.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, before returning to Beijing to report on his work every three years, a major event happened in the capital.

However, recently, the biggest bustle in the capital was the fact that the elder of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She, was following Prince Lian, helping to collect debts from his close relatives and friends.However, this incident started one after another in May, and after a few months, everyone gradually accepted it. No matter how stubborn Jia Amnesty was, as long as he gritted his teeth and refused to pay back, there was nothing he could do.At most, seeing that Prince Lian has already recovered the money owed by thirteen or four families one after another, the rest of the families are panicked, fearing that something will happen next.

As a result, something really happened.

On September [-]th, Emperor Changqing called all the princes into the palace and publicly announced that the prince was abolished for the second time.In a few days, the prince himself and his family members were detained in the East Palace, and many of his confidantes were successively taken down by Emperor Changqing.

All of a sudden, the entire capital was in chaos, regardless of those who were on the prince's side, even the courtiers who were not close to each other couldn't help but panic when they arrived at this stall.And because the three-yearly return to Beijing to report on their duties is approaching, many officials working in other places have postponed their schedules. They would rather be late and receive bad reviews than come to Beijing at this time.As for the royal family and nobles, on the one hand, they waited and watched the specific situation, and on the other hand, they secretly sent their own children outside.

Throughout October, people in the capital were panic-stricken, especially Changqing Emperor, who changed his image of generosity and benevolence in the past, sent heavy troops to surround the residences of several important ministers in the court, and even questioned the prince's confidantes one after another, causing widespread concern.

Until November [-]th, Emperor Changqing will finally depose the crown prince and send officials to sacrifice to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji.From this day on, the matter of abolishing the crown prince finally came to an end again.

However, this is only on the surface.

The career of the crown prince for decades not only allowed the princelings to spread throughout the Tu family dynasty, but also made the prince quite prestigious among the courtiers, aristocratic families, and common people.And the so-called "two establishments and two wastes", not only did not ruin the crown prince's reputation, but made some people feel lucky, thinking that Emperor Changqing must just forgive the crown prince as he did last time, and even set up the crown prince three times.

This kind of rumor is quite popular. After the initial uneasiness passed, the princelings calmed down one after another.

In fact, not only other people think this way, but even Jia Amnesty thinks this way.

"Let's just wait, that one was released within half a year after he was deposed last time. I guess it will take a year and a half at most this time. Can this father be against his own flesh and blood? Cursed and beaten, but looking back, it’s not the same as father and son? Tsk, my old man beat me up a lot when I was a child!” Jia She felt deeply moved, “But that one is really nice, after such a big thing happened, No one cares about me anymore, even the cynicism that I used to hear in the past is gone, the last time I met Xueshi Pan, he smiled at me. I am so lucky that I didn't scare my master to death!"

is not that right?The crown prince has been deposed for the second time. In comparison, the annoying Jia She is not so annoying.

Cough, to be precise, it's not that Jia She is not annoying anymore, but that at this stall, no one has the time to care so much about a fool.In particular, Jia Amnesty has been with Prince Lian for several months, and has been branded with Prince Lian's stamp from inside to outside. Prince Pian Lian is still one of the most favorable supporters of the prince. It was very big, but there were quite a few people who saw Prince Lian making jokes, even Jia Amnesty was ridiculed for a long time.

What is it called?In vain, hatred turned into love, love for him, a big fool.

The only good thing is that Jia She's brain is not enough to fully understand the twists and turns here, Twelve knows it well, but he is too lazy to explain it to the stupid father in detail, even if he sees Jia She and is in it again. Being stupid, Twelve just smiled and said, "So it doesn't matter how I get into trouble, Master, you still love me the same?"

Jia She was startled, turned around and stared at Twelve sharply, and said after a long time, "Well, what did you do again? Tell me honestly!"

"Actually, it's nothing. At most, it's approaching the end of the new year, and I have good friends. No, I took a few good fans and pendants from your private treasury, master. I think you won't mind, master?" As Twelve said that, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away in a hurry.Only Jia She was left looking at Twelve Paoyuan's back with a bewildered expression, his treasure!Don't be misled by this bastard!

After going to the private warehouse to order it, Jia Shesheng went to Dongnange to look for Nala Shuxian, and when they met, he complained: "Shuxian, just take care of Conger! This kid is getting worse and worse." It's outrageous, last time I took my beloved bonsai as a gift to his grandfather, this time I actually took more than half of my treasured fan! Let me tell you, what about this kid, he really can't do it if he doesn't fight!"

Nala Shuxian was flipping through the account book, wondering which family had forgotten to add gifts, even if the annual gifts were complete, she still had to prepare more when she visited during the first month of the new year.Not to mention that the children in the mansion are gradually growing up and have their own friends, but they haven't married a wife yet, so she has to worry about preparing gifts.

Hearing Jia Amnesty's complaint suddenly, Nala Shuxian replied without raising her head: "Shoot if you want, and no one is stopping you, master."

Although Jia Mu has always favored the younger generation, her temperament is that she will ignore it if no one complains.I also know that with Twelve's virtues, even if I get beaten, I will never complain to Jia Mu. If so, the beating is useless.

"How can you do this?" Seeing La Shuxian's absent-minded appearance, Jia She was immediately unhappy, and directly snatched the ledger from her hand, glanced at it, and threw it on the end of the kang. "That's our Cong'er, why are you so cruel?"

Without the account book, La Shuxian was not annoyed, she just looked at Jia Amnesty speechlessly.

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty was even more displeased: "Cong'er is still young, besides, it's normal for this boy to be naughty. As parents, we just need to be patient and teach more. It's just beating and scolding. If something good or bad happens, it's easy to scare the children if you don't say it. It's not like you don't know that Zhu'er from the second room was a little scared when she saw my second brother until now. This Lao Tzu is not like Lao Tzu, and son is not like son, which is not interesting at all. Is that the reason?"

Hearing Jia Amnesty's words, Nala Shuxian felt more and more speechless, so she nodded silently.

"That's right! This kid, it's okay to scold him a little later, but you can't beat him, no matter how naughty he is, it's our own! How can we beat him as soon as we say so?" Jia She said while talking. , couldn't help being stunned, and then said after a moment of bewilderment, "Speaking of which, I was the one who said I wanted to fight Cong'er, right?"

Nala Shuxian: "..."

Jia She, who had already been crying stupidly by himself, covered his face silently. Fortunately, he had no other advantages, but his face was as thick as a city wall. He quickly remembered other things, and changed the subject: "Shuxian, guess what?" How long can the Holy Majesty hold back this time? I remember, the longest time I ever did it, I didn’t want to argue with Conger for three full days, the Holy Majesty is so capable, it should be a long time, right?”

"That's what you say." Nala Shuxian has never been able to do anything to Jia She, and besides, she is a female family member in the back house, so she doesn't need to pay attention to the affairs of the court, so she just perfunctory, but in her heart she has already given the girl who has never heard of it. The former Crown Prince whom we met lit a row of wax.Because of the precedent, even His Highness the former Crown Prince himself would think so, hoping with great anticipation that Emperor Changqing would show mercy, release him again, and even restore him as the Crown Prince for the third time.

Unfortunately, this time, there is no hope forever.

Nala Shuxian's guess was right. Although the former Crown Prince was restrained in the palace, he was not directly moved to the cold palace like last time, but remained in the East Palace, which symbolized the crown prince.It was precisely because of this that the former Crown Prince was quite calm, and he was even able to calmly see those brothers who came to visit him (joke) under the pretext that the end of the year was approaching.

However, it was not until the middle of the twelfth lunar month that the former prince finally started to panic.

Among the visitors, there is no Prince Lian.

For the first time, the former prince felt extremely uncertain. No matter how uneasy he was last time, Prince Lian sent him a message at the first time. After Emperor Changqing calmed down a bit, he would intercede for him.However, this time, not only did Prince Lian not make any movement, the former prince had not even seen him since September [-]th, when Emperor Changqing announced to the princes that he was abolished.

"Come here, find a way to go to Prince Lian's mansion, or inquire about him. What happened outside? Go and inquire!"

The former prince kept comforting himself, thinking that maybe Prince Lian was just busy with business, after all, Prince Lian was a person who would even forget to eat and sleep when he was busy.But after thinking about it for a while, I knew that this possibility was unlikely, because such a thing had never happened before.

In fact, Prince Lian was not only the brother of the former prince, but also the only one among all the princes who publicly supported him.In particular, Prince Lian's background is not low. His biological mother is one of the four concubines, and his adoptive mother is the successor. In addition, he was conferred the title of Prince and holds real power.The only shortcoming is probably that although the reputation in the court is not very good, in the eyes of the former prince, this is not a shortcoming, but a huge advantage.

If such a strong supporter is lost, it will be a huge blow to the former prince who has now lost power.

"No, certainly not. There can be no such thing."

No matter how hard he tried to comfort himself, it couldn't beat the fact that Prince Lian never came to visit him.Especially after the people he sent out were driven back, the former prince almost felt a trace of despair.Afterwards, the servants in the palace tried their best to find out some news, and learned that Prince Lian was really not idle. Even though the Chinese New Year was approaching, that Lord was still busy collecting debts everywhere, so that those people had already stopped the abolition of the prince. The people who were relieved from the pain have entered the cursed daily life again.

This news gave the ex-prince a little bit of comfort, he thought, maybe when the New Year's Eve, Prince Lian would ask Emperor Changqing for help as he did last time.Or because the time is short this time, they will wait until the Grand Palace Banquet?Otherwise, before the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, he could always intercede for himself, right?

However, nothing.

The New Year's Eve has passed, and the New Year's Eve has also passed away quietly. Even if it is the New Year's greetings in the first month, after the fifteenth day of the first month, the taste of the New Year gradually dissipates, and the East Palace is no longer the same as before.
