Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 43

Emperor Longxi and the crown prince resolved Ya'erlin's concerns in this way, so of course he had to reciprocate.The two cannot practice magic for the time being due to the issue of the throne, but they can use various potions for body conditioning and accessories with various attributes.

Ya'erlin gave the two compartments at once, and the two compartments were obviously not sold by the two shops on Baihu Street.

Both Emperor Longxi and Tu Ze were very happy.For them, this is not about saving a lot of money. Even though there is no money in the household department, as royals, they don't just live on the money in the household department.

The Ministry of Households transfers money from the national treasury to the royal family every year, but this money stopped as early as twenty years ago when Emperor Qing Shizu was still alive.At that time, the arrangement of the Ancestors’ Club was not due to a problem with the tax money, but because the shops in Huangzhuang owned by the royal family were operating normally, and there was no longer any need for supplementary tax money from the state, so the royal family could live a very good life.

But later, after experiencing various natural disasters, the money in the treasury became less and less.In addition, Emperor Longxi didn't become emperor until he was 45 years old, and it took him so long to become No.1 in this empire, so there will be a lot of willful moments.As a result of Emperor Longxi's willfulness, he went to Jiangnan six times, and the Zhen family picked him up four times.

When the Zhen family picked him up, they borrowed a lot of money from the treasury.In order to make the Zhen family repay the shortfall, Emperor Longxi also pointed out the Jiangnan weaving and salt classes to Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family.It's a pity that Zhen Yingjia's ability is limited. Even if she took two weaving courses and one salt course, she couldn't pay back the shortfall.

Later, Emperor Longxi had no choice but to let this matter go lightly.After all, it is his mother's family who loves women the most, and it is also the family of Mrs. Fengsheng who took good care of him when he was a child.

Emperor Longxi's rare soft-heartedness made the courtiers stare at him. There were those officials who came to the household department to borrow money because they were really in trouble, and there were also people who borrowed money in order to continue to live a luxurious life.After the wave of everyone borrowing money from the Ministry of Households started, there were too many officials to follow suit.

Up to now, it is even more impossible to transfer the money from the treasury to the royal family, and it is even more difficult for Emperor Longxi to transfer the money from his own treasury.

As for these, Tu Ze, who has just taken over the government affairs from Emperor Longxi, is still not very clear.When he found out, he didn't know what he would curse Emperor Longxi in private.Those who dote on concubines to this extent, the emperors throughout the ages, are basically kings of subjugation.Even if it is not the king of subjugation, the complete collapse of that dynasty is not far away.

These things are beyond Yaerlin's touch, so he doesn't even know that the Rongguo Mansion also owes a large amount of money to the treasury.If he had known, he would have asked the mansion to return the money before the separation, and he didn't want to take advantage of the big house.

Erfang's family moved into Zhenshenggong's mansion, except Jia Baoyu who was very uncomfortable without a charming and beautiful maid, and cried for several days, everyone else got used to it very quickly.Even Aunt Zhao, who often yells and scolds, is obediently nestling in her yard to raise her daughter.

In Rongguo Mansion before, Aunt Zhao still had some hope, after all, her daughter could be regarded as one of the third generation masters of Rongguo Mansion.Now in Zhenshenggong's mansion, what is her aunt next to the master's father's father?For the sake of her Tanchun, she'd better keep to herself.It can't be said that, then Jia Zhu can treat this concubine better because Jia Tanchun can get married.

The second bedroom family is harmonious and beautiful, and the big house in Rongguo Mansion is also good.Only Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Yangzhou and saw the news of Jia Zhu becoming the real Holy Duke from the mansion newspaper, was a little bit upset.

When he knew that Emperor Longxi was about to abdicate and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, Lin Ruhai hated his mother-in-law Jia Shishi very much.Therefore, he decided to alienate himself from the Rongguo Mansion.But in less than three months, such earth-shaking changes have taken place in the capital?

Lin Ruhai frowned thinking that Jia Min hadn't talked about Rongguo Mansion for a while because of his attitude towards Rongguo Mansion.After calling his staff to explain what happened in the yamen today, he picked up the mansion newspaper and walked towards the backyard.Even if there was a gap between him and the Rongguo Mansion, he didn't want Jia Min to hide anything from her or anything else.

Jia Min should understand that she is now the Lin Jia family, the head wife of the Lin family, and no longer the beloved first daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

In the hall of the main courtyard, Jia Min took off the bracelet and ring, took a silver spoon, scooped up the steamed custard bit by bit and sent it to Lin Daiyu's mouth: "Yu'er likes steamed custard very much, right?"

"Ah—ah—oh——" the meaningless words came out of Lin Daiyu's bright red mouth, making Jia Min's eyes more gentle.Nanny Ren, who walked in with a letter in her hand, nodded in relief when she saw this scene.The young lady and the young lady are both in good health now, and she can rest assured that she is an immortal.

After feeding a small bowl of custard, Jia Min asked the maid to clean up the things, and Lin Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo carried her down before turning her head to look at Fang Momo.Her eyes paused for a moment on the envelope she was holding in her hand, and then she said softly: "Mom, is there a letter from the capital?"

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Ren nodded, stepped forward and put the envelope in front of Jia Min with both hands, "It was delivered from the post station."

The names of the people in the Lin family were originally the same as that of Qingliu, becoming the master and wife, but after Lin Ruhai's mother, the old lady of the Lin family, passed away, and Jia Min took over the affairs of the Lin family, they let the people in the mansion be called the same as the Jia family. up.

It doesn't matter which address is more decent, it's just that Jia Min is more used to this kind of address.

Jia Min took the letter, sighed faintly, opened the envelope and picked up the letter to read.Since the old sage announced his abdication, she has seen Lin Ruhai's attitude towards the Rongguo Mansion.Although she, as a woman, didn't take much part in the outside affairs, she, a married woman, still knew a little about the situation of her natal family.

She said she was brought up by Jia Shishi, but it was not the case.When Jia Daishan returned home from the military camp, he found that the two sons in the family were being raised by the old mother and wife in a disgraceful way, so he put all his thoughts on her, the youngest daughter who was born in the first place.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.

These are obviously things that the boudoir daughters of civil servants would learn, but Jia Daishan specially invited a female wife to teach her.At that time, she didn't know why, but she studied hard because she liked it.But now, she knows how far-reaching Jia Daishan has planned for the Jia family.

But no matter how far-reaching it is, it cannot resist the living.

As a daughter, as a married woman, even if Jia Min knew that her natal family was unreliable, she couldn't say anything about it.In addition, she had no children for many years, and her status in the Lin family required the support of the Rongguo Mansion, so she kept many things about the Rongguo Mansion from Lin Ruhai.

All she can say is that Rongguo Mansion is harmonious and that the second brother has been working hard in the court.The eldest nephew of the second elder brother's family, Jia Zhu, is a good student. He is already a juren at a young age, and he is the son-in-law of the Guozijian offering wine.The second sister-in-law gave birth to a son who was born with a jade title, and she was blessed.

She tried her best to weaken the first room in Rongguo Mansion, and asked Lin Ruhai to point out the excellence of the second room in Rongguo Mansion, and let him know that there was a worthy Rongguo Mansion behind her.

If Jia Min knew that Lin Ruhai didn't know the absurdity of the Rongguo Mansion's back house because of her small thoughts, and thus became a hidden member of the loyal prince's faction under Jia Shishi's instigation, I don't know how she would regret it.

But she didn't know, so she only vaguely guessed that it might be because Rongguo Mansion Lin Ruhai made some wrong decision, so his attitude towards Rongguo Mansion was a little strange during this time.Jia Min only thought that when the short time was over, the family would go to Beijing, and then they would resolve these misunderstandings.

As the crown prince ascended the throne, Lin Ruhai, as the confidant of the old sage, had to go back to report on his duties and participate in the Zen throne and enthronement ceremony.

Looking at the letter sent by Jia Shishi, Jia Min's complexion changed rapidly.Shocked, couldn't believe it, felt ridiculous and weird, and finally calmed down.

"Ma'am, what did the old lady say in the letter?" Seeing that Jia Min, who had put down the letter, was in a good mood, Nanny Ren asked cautiously.

During this period of time, she could see the tense atmosphere in Lin's mansion, and the hostess and hostess in the mansion were not as close as before.Not to mention the other servants, even the nanny who is needed by her wife is also cautious in her actions.I just hope that the old lady's letter contains some good news, so that the martial law in Lin's mansion can be lifted.

"The old lady said that Zhu'er was canonized by the old sage as the real Holy Duke, and she often enters the palace to accompany her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation when she comes in. Every time she gets a lot of rewards from the old sage and the prince." Jia Min sighed, frowning slightly, "Because of Zhu'er's conferment of knighthood, the second room has now been separated from the Rongguo Mansion. Oh, it can no longer be said to be the Rongguo Mansion. After the second room was divided, the elder brother gave the book to the saint, and changed the plaque outside the gate to first class. The General’s Mansion, and some of the over-regulated places in the mansion have also been rebuilt.”

"So many things happened!"

"Min'er, is what you said true?"

Nanny Ren and Lin Ruhai's voices sounded at the same time.Jia Min looked out the door, and saw Lin Ruhai holding a mansion newspaper in his hand, standing outside the door curtain set up by the maid with a look of surprise and embarrassment.

Seeing the arrival of the hostess, who seemed to have something to say to the hostess, Nanny Ren bowed her knees and bowed at the opportunity, and retreated with the other maids.Perhaps, the mansion is really about to thaw?It's the hottest month of August now, but because of the two masters in the mansion, everyone is extremely cautious.

It seems that after today, there is no need to do that anymore.

Nanny Ren stood under the eaves of the main courtyard, smiling all over her face.

After all the servants left, Lin Ruhai stepped forward and held Jia Min's hand: "Min'er, is what you just said true?"

Jia Min raised his eyes and glanced at him, then handed him the letter in his hand: "This is a letter from mother just delivered from the post station, just read it yourself."

Lin Ruhai took the letter and read it at a glance.What Jia Shishi wrote in the letter was indeed the same as what he had just heard from Jia Min outside the door, but it was more detailed.The reason why Jia Zhu was canonized as a duke was not written in the letter, which made him a little disappointed.

But according to this point of view, since Jia Zhu is so valued by Emperor Longxi and the crown prince, it shouldn't be a big deal that the Rongguo Mansion—no, the General's Mansion is taking a position in private.

Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly while holding the letter, thoughtful.
