Baochai is a happy wife [Red Mansion]

In the yard, Xue Baoqin climbed off the stone chair neatly again, and trotted to Mrs. Xue's side.

"Mother." After Xue Baoqin called out, she said again, "Mother, when you come back, you want to call me that way, right?"

In the village, she is called mother, and when she returns home, she is called mother, which is more solemn.

Xue Baoqin said that she knew all about it. The countryside is relatively free, but the family is also fine.The little Xue Baoqin didn't clamor to go out to play, she was very well-behaved.

Seeing Xue Baoqin like this, Xue Baochai felt that the other party would become very ladylike and decent in the future, which was normal.Xue Baoqin's parents are also good, so they can naturally raise an excellent daughter.

The little girl traveled around with her parents. When she grew up, she was not so crazy and played around, and she knew so much.Isn't it because the parents have taught them well, if they don't pay attention, it is easy to turn the children into rogue monkeys.

But having said that, parents should want their children to be more lively, not to look perfect in all aspects, because that is very hard.When Xue Baoqin's parents didn't die, Xue Baoqin should be different from Xue Baoqin in the original book. After the death of her parents, she was hit hard and put away those jokes.

"Yes." Mrs. Xue said with a smile, and turned to look at Mrs. Xue, "See, she can climb very well. She was young, and she wanted to learn how to climb trees before."

Mrs. Xue Er did not always stop her daughter. I heard from the people in the countryside that children will inevitably bump into bumps.As long as there are no major problems, just look a little more.Mrs. Xue Er asked the servant girl to take care of her daughter more, so that she could feel more at ease.

"Lively." Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Baoqin like this, she didn't know whether her daughter was more lively, or Xue Baoqin's niece was more lively, "Baochai is also, she was arguing with her brother to practice swords before."

"If you want to practice, let her practice." Mrs. Xue didn't think it was something she couldn't agree to, "Girl, if you know a little kung fu, it may not be bad."

Dignified and virtuous or something, that's what I want.Mrs. Xue Er didn't think there was any conflict between the two. Some of the daughters of military generals also had boxing skills, so it might not be good to deliberately prevent their children from learning.

Those people are not afraid that women will know martial arts, but they are afraid that women will only know martial arts and nothing else.A woman still has to know how to be a housekeeper, otherwise how can she be a grandmother.

In this era of three wives and four concubines, if the mistress is also gentle and gentle, knowing how to please her husband without knowing anything, it will not last long.If the mistress takes the route of a concubine, she will not be able to enter the hall of elegance.Of course, if she can also manage the house, then that woman is no matter how gentle or obsessive she is, and she will be envied for being able to control her husband's heart.

This problem has to be looked at from different angles.Some things don't look good on the surface, but when viewed in conjunction with other things, it's fine.

Mrs. Xue Er is not the kind of person with shallow eyesight, she can see clearly, "If Baoqin wants to learn, let her learn too."

"Okay." Xue Baoqin said quickly, "Learn sword."

"" Xue Baochai thinks that they are still young now, so don't think about how they will be so magnificent when they grow up.

Instead of wasting time thinking about it, think about what to have for dinner tonight.

In the martial arts field, after Xue Pan saw Xue Biao, he wanted to drag his cousin to practice martial arts together.But the visitor is a guest, even if he is a cousin, he is still a guest.

If his parents knew that he was dragging his younger cousin to practice martial arts, he might be beaten. Xue Pan still didn't dare to ask Xue Biao to practice martial arts together.He thought it would be a long time, maybe Xue Biao would also practice martial arts with him in the future.

At that time, my cousin's situation must be no better than him, so I won't be crushed by my sister alone.Xue Pan thought of his younger sister Xue Baochai, and felt that as an older brother, he really couldn't be worse than his younger sister.But it is still difficult to work so hard every day.

Xue Pan can only think that water drips through stone, and over time, he will one day defeat his sister Xue Baochai.

Ahem, it doesn't matter if you are not defeated.

People outside don't know that he can't beat his sister, and my sister probably won't tell such a big truth outside.

Two days later, Mr. Zhang, an official of the household department in the capital city, and Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp, and others came over. At this time, Wang Ziteng was still the emperor's confidant and was reused by the emperor.

Elder Xue and Elder Xue came to meet them, Elder Xue said, "Now all the silver is ready, you adults and father-in-laws should go and have a look first, and they will rest at the mansion later, and they have been packed." courtyard."

Right now, the most important thing is to take these people to the treasury to see the cash, not to entertain them.

If he still delays time at this time, although it is right to entertain these people, the emperor obviously cares more about the money.

"Let's take a look at the money first." Although Chen Qin was no better than Jiang Sheng, he was also the chief eunuch in the palace.The emperor sent him, that is to trust him, of course he knows what to do.After counting the silver coins, read the emperor's imperial decree.

The emperor had already explained it, and Chen Qin knew it in his heart.

Don't be sure how much money the Xue family will donate in the end, it's okay to read it out early.If it had been read earlier, the imperial decree had not written much money, but what if the money donated by the Xue family was less.

The emperor is the son of heaven, but the emperor also has difficult times.Even if the emperor thinks that these courtiers dare not fool the emperor, what if, after all, the Xue family is a family, and these families are old fritters.

Chen Qin was still very gentle in front of Mr. Xue and other members of the Xue family, "The treasury is empty, and the emperor is also anxious. Don't blame Mr. Xue."

"As a subject, one should be anxious about what the emperor is anxious about, not to mention meager efforts, even if you try your best, you should." Elder Xue said.

"Everyone, please come inside." Master Xue Er said.

These people all went in with the two brothers of the Xue family, and they directly took the people from the capital to the treasury where the cash was placed.

After arriving at the treasury, Mr. Xue said, "The cash is most of the Xue family's cash, and the rest is reserved for circulation in the shop."

Master Zhang of the household department and other small officials of the household department were shocked when they saw the cash in the Xue family treasury.Although these household officials can see a lot of money when they look at the treasury, the money in the treasury is still different from the money in Xue's treasury.

No wonder the emperor wanted someone to come over to count and escort them, because he was afraid that someone would have other intentions and embezzle the money privately.

What's more, the emperor didn't want anyone to come and ask the Xue family for money in various ways, so that the Xue family could bribe them personally.Mr. Zhang had already made up his mind that the Xue family would indeed arrange for the officials who came to Jinling to give them something, which was normal, but they officials could not imply that the Xue family would give them money, that would be considered corruption.

"These silver coins should be better." No need for Xue's family to say, Wang Ziteng said, "Don't appear silver-plated at that time, and the center is not silver."

Wang Ziteng knew that it was not good for the Xue family to speak up. The Wang family was the in-laws of the Xue family, so they still had to say it.Since the Xue family wanted to donate money, they had to donate in a good-looking way, and they must not be designed by others.It's hard to guarantee that someone really has other thoughts, dare not rob it openly, and do it secretly.

"Order." Mr. Zhang said humanely, and at the same time looked at Mr. Xue, "Let's put the food outside this courtyard, and we will eat here."

The Xue family is safe, the treasury of the Xue family is not on the ground, but underground.There are only two intersections, and both intersections are guarded.Naturally, the Xue family's treasury is not only this one, but there are others, but because they want to donate money to the court, they cleared it out early and sent people to watch it.

It is said that it was packed early, but in fact, it was still moving money here two days ago.

"It's safer to have the heavy troops brought by Mr. Wang." Mr. Zhang looked at Wang Ziteng. They brought a lot of people out of the capital this time, thousands of them, and those people were quite capable.

It is precisely because of the large number of people brought, so the arrival is slower.However, this time still needs to be delayed. If there are fewer people and there is a problem when escorting the money, that would be bad.

"Excuse me, my lords." Master Xue said.

This time, it was a big deal for the Xue family to donate money, and it was also a big deal for Wang Ziteng and others to escort the money back to Beijing.

The officials of the Ministry of Households still have to look at each ingot of silver, and it will be difficult to avoid defective products at that time.Looking at the fineness of those silver ingots, they knew that these silver ingots were good.

Silver ingots are not copper plates, not banknotes, and one ingot is quite a large ingot, and it is not the kind of silver that is one tael or one tael.

Therefore, the officials of the household department are not particularly slow to count.When escorting a large amount of silver, they didn't take the waterway. If it fell into the water, it would not be so easy to deal with.When the time is not particularly urgent, it is natural to find a waterway.

This night, after the welcome banquet.Wang Ziteng went to Mr. Xue to find out what kind of attitude this brother-in-law had. It was really because he had a dream that the emperor was a Mingjun, so he listened to the Buddha's words to donate money. Wang Ziteng didn't really believe it. It's better to believe that something big happened to the Xue family.

"From my generation to my generation, Xue's family is only working in the household department, and my son is not suitable for studying, so he can only practice martial arts." Master Xue knew that Wang Ziteng would definitely ask him, "The upright young man of today's sage, what dream is that?" But it's also true."

Whether the dream is real or not, they have to treat the dream as real.

"If my son can serve the court, it will be my son's blessing." Mr. Xue understood very well that the Xue family has no real power in the court now, so one has to be cultivated.Otherwise, if this continues, the Xue family will be ruined, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless, and it will become fat in the mouths of others.

Wang Ziteng is in front of Mr. Xue, of course he cannot say that the Xue family relies on himself.They are related by in-laws and have a good relationship, but they don't have the same surname, so you can get rid of them if you want to. Those words are empty words.The most important thing is that someone in the clan has to stand up.

"It's my nephew's blessing." Wang Ziteng nodded, "Eunuch Chen will announce the decree tomorrow, when will you go to Beijing?"

"In a few days." Master Xue said, "The most important thing is to escort the money to Beijing. I will wait a few days later when the speed is not so fast."

"That's good." Wang Ziteng thought carefully, and the brother-in-law was right.

The Xue family can indeed go behind the team, but they are escorting the money back to Beijing, and they rush as soon as they can.And the Xue family still has children, so it is inevitable that they will not be so fast, and it is impossible for their team to escort the money to wait for the Xue family.

Then there is no need for them to go to Beijing together, it is better to go one after the other.

Wang Ziteng was not from Xue's family, so he didn't ask any more questions.He knows in his heart that each family has its own plans, and it is true that the same spirit is connected, but the same spirit may also be broken.What's more, Xue's donation of so much money is too eye-catching, which makes many people feel incredible.

After all, now is not a time of war, and few merchants are rushing to donate so much money.

The brother-in-law said that most of the money in Xue's family was circulating money. Wang Ziteng believed that the amount of money shocked him, tens of millions of taels of silver.That's all white money, it's real, there's no adulteration.

Master Xue's family came to Beijing to develop in Beijing, and also to show their attitude to the emperor, to be the emperor's pocket.

Wang Ziteng felt uncomfortable, as if everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, suddenly, a grasshopper jumped out from the rope, the rope was loose, and this grasshopper could run away at any time.But this can't be overthought, each family has its own plans, just like he didn't tell the Xue family, Jia family, etc. about his plans, this can't be blamed on others.

This also made Wang Ziteng think of historians. On the surface, historians have a double family, but in fact they are just good-looking.He was not reused by the emperor, had no real power, and there were not only those two marquises in the capital, not to mention that the historian had a lot of emptiness because of what happened back then.

Wang Ziteng was helpless, the four major families, that is, the Xue family, were getting more and more down and down, their official positions were attached to the household department, and they had no real power, which was worse than Lord Hou.It's no wonder that the Xue family would like to donate money, donating more money, maybe it's not real.

Without those silver coins, the Xue family can continue to make money.The Xue family left the liquid money, so the Xue family would not be hurt. Even if some merchants really dealt with the Xue family because of the lack of money, the emperor would still be there.

Wang Ziteng thought that it might be a good choice for Mr. Xue to make such a choice.

The next day, Eunuch Chen Qin announced the imperial decree to let Xue Pan go to Beijing to study with the prince. Mr. Jin Xue is a fourth-rank official, and his official position is still attached to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even Mrs. Xue has an imperial order.

Mr. Xue just wanted to continue to be affiliated with the Ministry of Household Affairs, he didn't think about getting a title, and he didn't think about the bigger reality.He is still a little weak, it is best to be a businessman and continue to be an imperial businessman.He thought it was good for the emperor to do this, so as not to make the merchants feel like they could be named marquis or uncle by donating money.

Otherwise, for a while, merchants can indeed donate a lot of money, but those titles will be flooded, and it is easy to cause bigger problems.Some merchants have donated so much money, it is inevitable that they have to get back their money from other places, so it is not bad that they don't have a big official position, but give opportunities to juniors.

The Xue family donated a lot of money, which does not mean that other merchants can donate so much money.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Elder Xue and the others were very happy, with smiles all over their faces, "In two days, I will get up and go to the capital. After I go to the capital, I will thank Long En."

Seeing Mr. Xue with a sincere smile on his face, Eunuch Chen Qin was quite satisfied, so he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed and wanted more.The fruit still has to be eaten bite by bite to taste the flavor and get more later.
