The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Those who don't know the details of Shulan can definitely give a compliment. She is indeed a big girl who came out of Mrs. Wang. Although her words of fooling Lin Zhixiao and Mrs. Wang's words of fooling Aunt Xue in the original book are different, their essence is the same. It's a reasonable and well-founded flicker by dragging the things you want in your dreams.

In the same way, the way Shulan gave Jia She to rescue the Zhang family should be played in the same way.

"Today, the old lady had to believe that the aunt was promoted, and it happened that Mrs. Lai was away, so I went to the aunt's house. The decree of the aunt's promotion was made by the fifth prince. What does it mean to issue an imperial decree on behalf of the emperor at this time? Don't you understand? The fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Hui, was born in the Zhenguo Bull's family." Shulan said slowly.

Lin Zhixiao seemed to understand a little bit, "You mean to ask the old lady to beg Concubine Hui?" That is, to beg the future empress dowager and emperor.

Shulan shook her head, "It's impossible for the old lady to go, she is partial to the second master. She can't come even if the big house is suppressed, otherwise why didn't the old man use the contacts of that mansion before? This matter has to be done by the old man himself. "

"Ah!?" Lin Zhixiao's face was a little ugly. "If the old man can go, why worry?" Since the emperor vomited blood and passed out in the morning, the princes under him have all lived in the palace. Yeah, where is the place that Jia She can go, even if he is not in the palace, the fifth prince is not something that Jia She can see.

"Of course I can't go now, but after the dust settles on the matter in the court, maybe I can go. If the Zhang family didn't make a big mistake, I'm afraid no one will take care of them at the moment, and I'm not afraid Wait a little longer. The key is that the Elder Master has to give the Fifth Prince a big gift, as the old saying goes, if you want to take it first, you must give it first." Shulan said in a deep voice.

The expression on Lin Zhixiao's face was a little weird, "Will the fifth prince accept it?" He didn't hear it wrong when he bribed the future emperor, right?

Shulan said inscrutablely: "What is the worst thing about the new emperor becoming the throne?"

Before Lin Zhixiao could answer Shulan, he said, "Money!"

"Whether it's the funeral ceremony, the enthronement ceremony, or the future feudal officials' amnesty to the world, the posthumous ceremony, and concubine ceremony, all require money." Although Shu Lan is not an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he cannot say how much money it will cost, but history She had to know what the process was like after each emperor succeeded to the throne, and she naturally understood how much it cost.

Shulan looked into Lin Zhixiao's eyes and said: "I remember that the mansion once took over the holy car in Jiangnan when the Duke was alive, and borrowed a few hundred thousand taels from the treasury because he didn't have any money at hand, but the emperor was sympathetic. The minister did not ask the Duke to pay it back right away. Now that the family is going to be separated, the debt will naturally be separated." Shulan remembered that in the original book, some of the crimes of Jia's family being ransacked were shortfalls, and now he just took this opportunity to owe the state treasury I paid back my money, and I will be less charged in the future.

"You mean, let the old man repay the debt of the national treasury, sell it there, and take the opportunity to ask for things from the Zhang family." Lin Zhixiao's eyes lit up, yes, this is a good way, give money in a fair manner, the fifth prince No, no, others still can't find Jia Amnesty's fault, after all, debt repayment is justified.

Shulan smiled slightly, "That's right. Not only that, I heard that Dong Mansion also owes money to the treasury. Now Mr. Jing is being squeezed out by those civil officials in the Hanlin Academy. Mr. Jing is in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, and he is also a member of the Jia family. The head of the patriarch has more contacts than the old lady. Let the old man use the Zhang family to support him in the Hanlin Academy after he is released from prison as bait, do you think the old man will agree to this?"

Maybe Mother Jia would intervene in this matter and not allow people from Jia's family to help the Zhang family, but that was because there was no benefit.

"Naturally, Master Jing is the most outstanding person in the two mansions. He was admitted to the Imperial Academy by virtue of his strength. No one believed him when he said that he didn't want to further his official career." Lin Zhixiao said confidently .

At this time, Jia Jing is still the pride of the Jia family. Compared with the unreliable Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, who only talks about it, and Jia Zhu, who is still a brat.Undoubtedly, Jia Jing, who was admitted to Jinshi and served as an official in the Imperial Academy, was the leader of the Jia family. In addition, although he was not the oldest, he was the head of the clan, and even Jia's mother would not dare to win in front of him.

"In this way, the Zhang family will be saved, and we can make a good deal on both sides." Lin Zhixiao was happy. He felt distressed after losing more than n silver in the future, but he could find a good future for his future son. I don't feel bad.After all, money cannot be bought, and sometimes you want to send money out, but you can’t.

Shu Lan shook her head, "After paying back the treasury's money, there is only a [-]% chance of success. Therefore, the Elder Master has to do one more thing, one thing to share the worries and problems of Concubine Hui." Only by working together can the success rate be guaranteed. .

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhixiao asked curiously, he didn't think Jia She could help Concubine Hui in any way.

"Don't forget, now Concubine Hui and the fifth prince are not..." Shulan pointed her hand upwards, and after seeing Lin Zhixiao understood her meaning, she continued: "Concubine Hui's natal family is in charge of the country. The situation of the Bull’s family is similar to that of the Jia’s family, both of which are hereditary descendants. Even if the fifth prince, Jia En, won’t be able to restore the title of the Duke of Zhen at once. But there is a big difference between the Duke, the uncle, and the first-class general. Far.

To be honest, the Duke of the State is gone, and the Grand Master of the mansion inherited the title of first-class general. Now the Rongguo Mansion should not be hung at all, and the Ningguo Mansion is the same.Now it's just that something in the court didn't notice these trivial things. If the imperial censor references a book in the future, it will be a real criminal evidence.

Therefore, it is better to ask the Elder Master to make a report, saying that the old lady is not in good health, and I am afraid that the old lady will be hurt by seeing things and thinking about others, so I implore the emperor to allow Jia's mansion to continue to hang the sign of Rongguo Mansion while the old lady is alive, Your Majesty Cherish the old and pity the poor will definitely agree.

The other four kings and eight princes are hereditary descendants, and when they see the grand master's booklet, they will definitely be moved by the news.When the Niu family's Zhen Guogong brand is preserved, will Concubine Hui have a good impression of the Elder Master, and then let the Eldest Wife enter the palace to ask An to cry, and the matter will most likely be accomplished. "After all, the Zhang family's crimes are not particularly serious. As long as there is no such crime of abusing the prince, the other crimes are drizzle, and Jia Amnesty can help the Zhang family settle it.

"And the other families of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes have benefited, so they have no choice but to help the old man. The Zhang family will definitely be rescued, right!" Lin Zhixiao said with the corner of his mouth raised.

Shulan gave Lin Zhixiao a thumbs up, smart!
