[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

As for the unchangeable fact that Wang Xifeng married into Jia's family, compared to Mrs. Xing's full of unwillingness, Luochun accepted it calmly.Looking at Mrs. Xing's desolate and dejected face, she thought for a while, swallowed the words of comfort, she really didn't know what to say, no matter what words she said, they seemed too pale at this moment.

Luo Chun and Mrs. Xing did not speak. The waiters in the room were afraid of being offended because they heard the unpleasant topic they had just talked about.Just when Luochun was about to make a sound to break the dull atmosphere, Mrs. Fei came in from outside with a stack of account books smiling: "It's a coincidence that the girl and the wife are together, which saves my old arms and legs from worrying about it." I made a trip. This is the income and expenditure account of Zhuangzi’s breeding this month, please check it with your wife and girl.” While talking, he put the account book on the kang table between the two of them.

Mrs. Xing picked up the top ledger and flipped through it. Seeing the numbers on the paper, a smile appeared on her gloomy face.Luo Chun cast a glance at Mrs. Fei who was standing with her head down to answer the question, picked up an account book, flipped through it, and saw the money income shown on it, she couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

The reason why Mrs. Xing's status in Jia's house is embarrassing is not only because of her status as a second wife, but more because of the snobbish eyes of everyone in Jia's house and look down on her.People inside and outside the mansion commented on her, saying that she "passes in and out of money, and once it passes through her hands, it is extremely embezzled and greedy for wealth. Children and servants do not rely on anyone and do not listen to a word, so they are very unpopular." But when I think about it carefully, But there are reasons to be forgiven. Although Mrs. Xing's background is not considered prominent, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of Jia's family, but in her capacity, she doesn't get enough respect in the mansion, and she doesn't get the favor of her mother-in-law and husband. There is no power over the house.The Jia family is full of "snobbish eyes". Under such circumstances, who would really take her, the eldest wife of the Jia family, into their eyes?

Jia Lian, Yingchun and Jia Cong were not her own. Jia Lian had already been wooed by the second wife, and even if he was not partial to the second wife, he should have remembered when Mrs. Xing married in.As a stepson, how much affection would he have for this woman who took up his mother's position and called him "mother"?Filial piety is between the biological mother and the child, and the binding force between the stepmother and stepson is not so great!As for Yingchun, she couldn't even take care of herself well, so how could she be Madam Xing's reliance?Jia Cong is just a concubine, and his status refers to Jia Huan. Jia Huan still has another Aunt Zhao who is favored by Jia Zheng. What status?Jia Cong's aunt didn't even show her face, and she didn't see Jia She to pay attention to him. How can Madam Xing rely on him like this?As for the servants, "the sparrows are all flying around", if there is no benefit, except for the servants Mrs. Xing brought from her natal family, how can the servants of the Jia family who know her actual status in the Jia family follow her sincerely?

The person next to her pillow is unreliable, and her children can't count on her. Mrs. Xing, who can be described as a lonely family in the house, has to plan for the rest of her life. In this case, what else can she hold on to besides money?

Money is not a good thing, but it is indispensable, especially in a wealthy family like the Jia family.Like Mrs. Xing, because she has no housekeeping power, the money she can control in the Jia family, except for the monthly money, is her own dowry.Although her brother complained to Jia Zhen and the others in the article, saying that Mrs. Xing brought all the family's belongings here when she got married, and he came to ask for money, and the Xing family's money was enough for him to spend.This is true, but Mrs. Xing's dowry is calculated to be 3000 taels, but they are all tricks. In reality, it would be nice to be able to convert half of it.

Because Mrs. Xing's dowry is mostly clothes and other things, it looks like a box full of things, but these things change every year, and they are not bright after a long time, and their value is limited; similar to gems, antiques and shops. There is no such valuable hard currency at all; there is a piece of land in the outskirts of the capital in the dowry. The area is not small, but because the land is barren, there is little production.Of course, if this was not the case, judging from the fact that most of the land near the capital is occupied by rich and powerful families, it would not have fallen into the hands of the Xing family.

Mrs. Xing's dowry would be considered a decent dowry if she married into a family of comparable family, but in the eyes of a wealthy family like the Jia family, it was not enough. "3000 taels of silver" came to Wang Xifeng's mouth and became "it doesn't matter where you save it for a sip", so in the eyes of Jia's family, Mrs. Xing's dowry is really shabby and pitiful.

Wang Xifeng dared to compete with Jia Lian, and she was not weak in front of Jia Lian. Of course, it was because the Wang family and Jia's family were on the same level, but the generous dowry also gave her full confidence.Money is very important and indispensable in Jia's mansion. Don't you see, even Xue Baochai and Tanchun have to give extra money to the cook if they want to change their tastes. "Money makes people courageous", people have more than I have. As a girl in the mansion, Luochun has a fixed income of two taels of silver a month, but it may not be enough to spend. She doesn't want to buy something extra. If she wants to ask others for money, even if this person is Mrs. Xing or her mother, she can't accept it.

What's more, as Mrs. Xing's daughter, Luochun also wants to improve Mrs. Xing's status in the mansion. Even if she can't change Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's view of her, at least she must change a little with the servants.In other words, don't you have a pair of snobbish eyes? I have no power, but I can "beat" you to death with money!

Because as a woman, Luochun can't show her face to do business, and "scholar, farmer, businessman", in this era, the status of a businessman is not high.As a noble girl from a famous family, it is not a good reputation to deal with merchants, not to mention that she is still in her boudoir.In the end, Luochun decided to take advantage of her own advantages and set her mind on Mrs. Xing's dowry village in the suburbs of Beijing, where she started a breeding business.Because the land is barren, there is not much production. Although it does not give money every year, it does not bring any income to Mrs. Xing, so it is not difficult to convince Mrs. Xing.

In ancient times, there was no shortage of manpower and resources in the breeding industry. The most difficult thing was the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases, but this was not a problem for Luochun. It involved a secret of hers, and she had a portable space.The medicinal rice powder prepared with the medicinal materials and water grown in the portable space has a great effect on the prevention and control of epidemic diseases. With this weapon, large-scale breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs and sheep has gradually developed. Profit has already begun.

Luo Chun was not as eager to check the account books as Mrs. Xing, and tapped the kang table with his index finger and middle finger a few times, pondered for a while before saying: "Actually, besides the existing types, there are several more that can be added, such as pigeons, quails, and donkeys. And other varieties, and you can think about digging a pond, planting things like lotus root, and raising aquatic products like fish and shrimp. Mama Fei, go back and discuss with your head to see if it is feasible, and if feasible, come up with a plan Come out and report to me and mother."

Mrs. Xing, who was looking down at the account, heard what Luochun said, and looked up at her, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and then lowered her head and continued to read the account.Mrs. Fei's face turned into a flower with a smile. When she heard that there was a new errand, even if she couldn't make money from it, the more errands she had, the more she was valued by the master's family, and her wages would rise accordingly, not to mention Luochun. He is a generous master, as long as the errands are done well, he is not stingy with rewards.

After Wang Shanbao's family heard this, they looked at Mrs. Fei with jealousy and hatred.After Luochun handed over this errand to Mrs. Fei's family, at that time Wang Shanbao's family was still "exiled" because Mrs. Fei's family went out from the mansion to the Zhuangzi. I was left alone, and I was very happy that there was no one to compete with him. Now I saw that the three boys in Mrs. Fei's family had jobs, and their lives were not panicked because of leaving the mansion. Instead of being alienated from Mrs. Xing because of leaving the mansion, she was valued more and more and regretted her mistake at the beginning. After all, Mrs. Xing's No. 1 choice was her.Seeing that Mrs. Fei's family is so beautiful now, and being entrusted with more and more important responsibilities, she feels quite uncomfortable.

Luo Chun took Wang Shanbao's gaze into her eyes, and when she saw that Mrs. Fei had finished her reply, she motioned for her to leave the account book and leave.After Mrs. Fei retreated, Luochun lowered her head and thought for a while, looked at Wang Shanbao's family, and said, "Mother Wang, if you have time these few days, you can cook the roast chicken, sauced duck, and roast goose made in Beijing. Buy some kind of food and bring it to me to taste."

Wang Shanbao's family didn't know why, so he persuaded with an apologetic smile on his face: "The cooks in the house are all top-notch, what do you want to eat, why do you think of eating outside? But if you are curious, I will bring some in later. It's just that the food outside is not as exquisite as the food in the mansion, and it's too vulgar to attract the girl's eyes. Besides, I'm afraid the food outside is not clean, and the girl will spoil her stomach if she eats it." If she really wants to eat something good or bad, she can't I can't afford this responsibility.

Seeing that Wang Shanbao's family agreed, but with a look of disapproval, Luochun sighed helplessly, shook his head lightly, and clarified the words: "Now there are so many things in the Zhuangzi, the source of goods is not If it’s missing, it’s better to sell it yourself than to sell it directly. Not to mention the extra profit, it’s not that the people brought by my mother from the Xing family still have a lot of free errands, although they can’t be arranged to enter the mansion Being on errand, but having something to do is better than being idle at home."

Wang Shanbao's family understood the meaning of Luochun's words, and thought that this matter might fall into her hands. After all, Mrs. Xing brought only a few people from the Xing family, and Mrs. Fei had them. There is already a lot, this matter is no one else, so she smiled from ear to ear, and complimented: "Oh, my wife is short-sighted, or the girl thinks long-term." Looking at the grandfather clock placed in the room, and Said: "It's still early, and there's nothing wrong with my meeting here, why don't we go now. I know several cooked foods in Beijing. Although I can't make it for lunch, I can definitely make it for dinner at night. Let the girls and wives try something new for dinner sometime, and add some fun to the wild." After speaking, he hastily bowed to Mrs. Xing and Luo Chun and left.

Luochun looked at Wang Shanbao's family as if there was something rushing behind her, and shook his head helplessly. He acted like a wind. Look at the account.
