[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 66
After Grandma Liu left, Princess Shouchun asked the Queen Mother.
"How did you manage to talk to her?"
"She met your father and your brother when she went to the city, can you tell me if this is fate?"
Princess Shouchun nodded, "It is indeed fate. The capital is so big, she met my father once. Now that she has met my grandmother again, it can be seen that there is really a fate with our family. Then I will continue tomorrow Go teach that young man how to read?"
The Empress Dowager Xi didn't believe that her granddaughter taught people how to read. In her opinion, she just went to play with others when she had nothing to do.
Inevitably, I have to tell Princess Shouchun, "You are also a big girl, you must remember the taboo things, you can play with other girls, but you can't show your face in public."
"Granddaughter remembers that there are so many people around her, and if she wanted to show her face, she would have scared them away."
After Princess Shouchun and Qing'er had read books for several days, the Empress Dowager Xi thought that the two little girls would be worried about taking people outside, so she asked Qing'er to follow her into the Zhuangzi.
On this day, Princess Shouchun couldn't wait for Qing'er, so she asked one of her guards to go to the next door to have a look in Zhuangzi.
The guard took the two nuns to go for half a quarter of an hour, and met Qing'er on the way, several people gathered together, and came to Princess Shouchun.
Princess Shouchun couldn't help asking, "Why did you come? I can't wait for you if I wait."
Qing'er apologized on the side, "I kept you waiting, my mother won't let me go out, it's because my grandma told me to let me go out."
"why?"
"In the past few days, someone came to our Zhuangzi, saying that there are a few little sisters in our Zhuangzi, who have a bright voice and a good figure, and they want to buy them to be opera actors."
Princess Shouchun didn't want to give lectures anymore, so she grabbed Qing'er's hand and asked, "Did the family agree?"
"It's not that they can't afford food. Who sells their sons and daughters at this time. But those people just stay in our village and insist on buying those little sisters. My mother is also worried about me. So let me not go out for two days."
Princess Shouchun patted the table angrily, "Who is so bold to force someone to sell their child!"
"I've heard that many people in the city are going to take the empress back. It is said that the empress in the palace likes to listen to operas, so I just bought a small opera actor and went back to teach it. It's good to sing in front of the empress then. A paragraph."
"Nonsense, why haven't I heard of any empress who likes to watch operas. It's clear that some bastards are taking advantage of this incident to rob other people's daughters."
The foster nun next to her quickly reminded, "Girl, the girl's family can't say these things."
Princess Shouchun didn't care about these things anymore, "So what if I say it? You go and sue me in front of my mother."
The foster mother was too frightened to speak.
The more Princess Shouchun thought about it, the more angry she became, so she ordered a few of her guards and asked them to go to the village next door to find out, "If it is true that some people forcefully buy other people's children regardless of their wishes, they will be tied up directly, and I will go to my father Tell me."
The guards outside the door agreed and went out.Qing'er looked at Princess Shouchun with some fear, "If you do this, what if you get your parents into trouble later?"
"Don't think about it, just think about what I taught you yesterday, do you remember?"
Qing'er is really anxious now, "Look at my brain, I still remembered it this morning, but now I forgot it again."
There are more people serving the queen mother and the princess here, and what happened in the next village reached the emperor's table in the afternoon.
The one written on the table is more detailed than what Qinger said.
Someone bought an actor, and invited someone to teach these girls, writing clearly and clearly.After reading it, the emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a while. He decided on this strategy in the first place, in order to let these people buy more bricks, tiles and building materials, but he didn't let them buy the children of these good families.
It happened that Jia Hua came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River and joined Yushitai.Leave this matter to him. Since you have a dog, the dog must bite some people so that it can be considered a good dog.
So the court began to become restless again.
Lin Ruhai stood motionless in his place when facing the court.Anyway, my family didn't buy actors, nor did I raise actors.No matter how the fire burns, it can't reach my own body.
Lin Ruhai was in the team, and the old god was thinking about how his son was doing in the exams in recent days.In the beginning of next spring, I will take the Jinshi examination. If I don’t get the Juren this time, I won’t be able to become a Jinshi next spring.
My youngest son should also hurry up to educate him, so that he can understand some palace rules.This kid is just too skinny, he needs to be disciplined properly.
After he thought for a while, Jia Hua and Jia Yucun sprayed people to the end.Subsequently, several unlucky ones were removed from official positions, and several unlucky ones were fined money.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Ruhai came out with everyone, and heard several people discussing this matter on the road.
"Looking at it like this, there is no way to buy opera actors near the capital."
"The emperor said not to allow forced buying and selling, nor to force good actors to become actors. If not, let's go to the south of the Yangtze River. The Kunqu opera in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and there are many small opera actors there. Go there and buy some well-educated people. If you can sing directly at home, there should be no one to participate in the performance."
The people nearby nodded, this is also a way.
Lin Ruhai not only shook his head in his heart, thinking about going home early so as not to get involved in this matter, before he could move his legs, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Master Lin, go slowly."
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai kept on stepping, thinking that there are so many people surnamed Lin, they may not be calling me, even if they call me, they won't answer.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't listen, the people behind shouted again, "Master Lin, go slowly."
Lin Ruhai couldn't leave if he wanted to. After standing still, he slowly turned around, "I don't know which lord calls this old man?"
Jia Yucun trotted over and took a few breaths, "Why is Mr. Lin walking so fast, so that the officials can easily chase after him."
"I don't know if Master Jia is calling the old man, forgive me, forgive me, you are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
"The last time I had a hasty farewell to Mr. Lin, I still remember the demeanor of Mr. Lin, and I want to invite Mr. Lin to have a glass of water and wine later."
Lin Ruhai shook his arm, "I can't drink alcohol when I'm old. The imperial physician has already told me to avoid spicy and alcoholic beverages. I appreciate Mrs. Jia's kindness. I will have a chance to drink tea with you someday. Today is too late. It's really a coincidence that the middle and small dogs are going to his father-in-law's house to ask for a wedding date."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left. Jia Yucun followed behind and had time to chat a few words before meeting a eunuch from the harem.
This eunuch is specially waiting for Lin Ruhai.
"Your Majesty has ordered you to take something with you when you leave. This is a reward for the eldest son of your mansion. Don't refuse, my lord."
Jia Yucun quickly stretched his neck to take a look, and saw some festive palace satin, thinking that the empress in the palace probably made a face for her brother, so that it would look better in the father-in-law's house.
After receiving the things, Lin Ruhai thanked him again, but this Jia Yu Village was like a dog's skin plaster and couldn't get rid of it wherever he went.
Lin Ruhai had already reached the gate of the palace, "Master Jia, I won't chat with you today if I have something to do, please do it."
"It's easy to say, after two days to rest, I will go to visit the boss." After speaking, he took two steps back, turned around and strode away.
Lin Ruhai's face was not good-looking, and his baby brother Xie Da asked beside him, "Master, who is this? Why can't I understand that the eyebrows are raised and the eyes are lowered."
"Don't worry about him, I have avoided his limelight in the capital for the past few years."
After returning home, Lin Hao had already returned.Sitting in the hall talking to Jia Min.
Lin Ruhai was supported by the two sons and sat on the seat, and asked the elder son slowly, "Has the Xin family settled down?"
"It's settled down, and I visited the old man. The old man likes his son very much and rewarded him with a lot of good things."
Jia Min smiled and said to Lin Ruhai, "This is also someone who doesn't know how to be ashamed."
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, "Since the things are sent over, the two families can discuss a good date. I will treat Brother Ma to drink tea tomorrow, and thank him for lending the yard to his in-laws. It will be cold after the wedding. If it rains on the road It’s snowing and it’s hard to walk, the capital city is thousands of miles away from the land of Shu, and the road is not easy to walk, I mean let the old lady in-law wait until next year’s spring to go back.”
Jia Min thought for a while, "Otherwise, the master will go talk to Mrs. Ma tomorrow, and ask the old man in-laws to bring a few young masters to live there until the spring of the new year."
"Let's take a look again. When we get married, it's okay for the Xin family to live in our house."
Jia Min thought for a while, "It might be a bit inappropriate. I want to bring my mother back during the Chinese New Year..."
"How many relatives live in the family, so what's the matter. No family can do without a few relatives, the empress won't care about this, don't worry."
Lin Daiyu pulled Rajamin's clothes aside, "Mother just thinks too much, isn't my grandfather's house full of relatives?"
When Lin Daiyu said this, Jia Min remembered something, "Lian's daughter-in-law came to our house this morning, saying that many people went to Yangzhou, Suzhou, and other places to buy opera actors, and asked if our family would like to buy some? I was thinking of us. No one at home went to the theater, so I told her not to buy it.
But when I think about it later, when our old lady was still there, my mother liked to go out to see a theater with the old lady... Would the master buy it or not? "
Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Buying and selling people is a shameful thing. Our family has endless slaves, so why buy them again. Besides, the house is restless after buying them. Look at these two brothers, neither of them can calm down. For those who are determined to study, if there are more people who can sing ditties, you can see whether the two of them can still read the book."
Lin Jiao was unhappy, "Daddy can't say that, my son doesn't look at these things, my son wants a pony..."
Lin Ruhai snorted, stood up and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
Lin Jiao ran up to Jia Min with grievances, "Mother..."
"Hey, you're only a little taller. That pony is much taller than you. Let's learn how to ride a horse a few years later, shall we?"
Lin Jiao wanted to persuade Jia Min to agree to buy a pony, but Jia Min was dizzy from his disturbance, and beckoned to his elder son to take the little guy away, but Lin Jiao disagreed, and put his arms around Jia Min's waist and refused to leave.At this time, Wang Xifeng came again.
Jia Min wondered why his son Wang Xifeng went and came again, Lin Hao had already carried Lin Jiao out of the yard.
Wang Xifeng met the two brothers on the road, and greeted them from a long distance, "What are you two brothers doing here?"
"Hello, sister-in-law, take my second brother for a stroll in the street outside."
"That's a good relationship, you go early."
After Wang Xifeng and the two brothers said goodbye, they hurried to Jia Min again. "Auntie, I'm here again."
"Sit down quickly. Why are you running again? What's the matter? Just let the girl come over and tell me."
Wang Xifeng forced a smile on her face, "This is a big deal, how can the girls make it clear. I just want to borrow some people from you. My aunt lived in Yangzhou for a while before, and I borrowed some stewards who often work in Yangzhou. We want to buy some embroidery from Yangzhou."
Jia Min thought for a while and felt a little unhappy.I thought in my heart that it would be best not to get involved in the affairs of my mother's family, or I would not be able to tell if I would be fishy in the future.
He directly refused, "Is it possible that your family has no manpower? Besides, the Zhen family has deep roots in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is something to do, it would be better to invite their family to come forward."
Wang Xifeng explained with a smile, "The old lady said that my aunt might also buy something for the empress here. Our family happened to have a good time, so the two of us bought it together."
Jia Min smiled, "It's too late for you to say, our family has already gone last month, and they might come back next month."
Lin Daiyu brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Wang Xifeng, "Second sister-in-law, please drink some water."
"Don't dare to work on my sister. My sister sits down quickly. My sister-in-law is just a poor family, so I just need to drink whatever I want."
Lin Daiyu went back and sat beside Jia Min, "To tell you the truth, my second sister-in-law has already bought all the things in our house. I don't plan to buy anything I haven't bought."
"Auntie's work here is very profitable... It's just that Auntie really doesn't plan to buy some actors here. When the time comes..."
Jia Min waved her hand, "Your Majesty never liked this since she was a child. When he comes back, I'll just cook a few dishes and let her have a good meal. But for your family, if you don't have anything to buy, it's fine." If you want to buy it quickly, it will be too late."
Wang Xifeng put the teacup on the table, "I won't talk nonsense to my aunt, there are a lot of things I haven't bought, but I don't have any money now."
Jia Min thought in her heart, it really is the empress who is the most powerful. When her mother's family paid back the money, the empress said not to accept it. Now they don't have the face to borrow money again.
Wang Xifeng didn't think of coming to the Lin family to borrow money, and she just wanted to complain.
"Every move in the house costs money, and the money is really spent like flowing water. Every plant and tree must be calculated carefully, otherwise, if there is a lack of one side or another, it will be unsightly in the end. To tell you the truth from my aunt, the internal treasury at home has already been spent."
Jia Min followed with a sigh, "Who's family is not like this, I will also settle the score for you. When the empress gets married, the dowry is not just other odds and ends. You won't believe the amount spent. .
I remember that at that time, it cost tens of thousands of dollars just to entertain guests for dinner and drinks on the day of marriage.Let alone other things, like the wedding money that was thrown out, the wedding cake money given to relatives and friends...
I haven't been relieved this time since I got home, and we have encountered such a big event, otherwise, how could we not show this face to the empress, I heard that the garden of our family is the most mean among all the empresses. "
After saying this, he sent his youngest daughter, Lin Daiyu, to the kitchen to have a look, "Go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready. When it's done, put it on the table and treat your sister-in-law to a drink."
Wang Xifeng quickly stood up to stop her, Lin Daiyu agreed, and led the maids out.
Jia Min asked Wang Xifeng in a low voice, "You just have to tell me the truth, since your family doesn't have enough money...is the money you use now is the wife's private house or the old lady's private house?"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, "It's okay for my nephew and daughter-in-law to tell my aunt the truth. This money is neither the old lady's private house nor the wife's private house. It is the property of those merchants... Many merchants were stolen by Xue. My aunt brought it to my wife through needles and needles, and my wife took their property and started to build a garden."
Jia Min frowned, "This is not good, how much money can a small family have? Those big companies are willing to bow their heads easily. At this time, those who are willing to bring all their wealth to invest are small businesses. They How much oil and water do you have on your body?"
"My aunt is right. Although the small households don't have many taels of silver, they can't stand the crowd... Madam wants to take advantage of those big companies, but she doesn't dare to act rashly after she has lost her teeth."
Mrs. Wang is unlucky and Jia Min is happy to hear, "Which business is it that your wife is interested in?"
"Which one could it be? For basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, those cloth shops rank first. The leader of the cloth shop is Yunsheng. My wife has taken a fancy to Yunsheng."
Jia Min snorted coldly in his heart, hating the second sister-in-law to the extreme.
I thought in my heart that the family had already started to rob and rob, whether the old lady knew or didn't know.Thinking about it again, knowing is knowing, but just not caring.
Back when the old man was still alive, the Rongguo Mansion was the real rich family. Now that the two elder brothers are in charge of the house, the family life is getting worse day by day.Now that she doesn't even want a bit of decency, she actually collects other people's property everywhere, and if she can't do anything when someone asks her at the door...
See if her daughter can raise her head in the palace or not.
Several people had lunch together, Wang Xifeng said goodbye and went home, and went to see the old lady directly after returning home.
The old lady is wiping dominoes with her grandchildren in the pavilion.After seeing Wang Xifeng come back, he threw the cards in his hand on the table, "It can be regarded as coming back, why did it take so long to come back?"
Wang Xifeng was joking aside, "Don't throw the cards away, old lady. She must have seen that she couldn't win this hand, so she pretended to talk to me and threw the cards on the table to stop playing."
The maids and women in the pavilion all laughed. Xue Baochai Tanchun and Jia Baoyu stood up, bowed to Wang Xifeng as equals and then retreated. Several people commented on the chrysanthemums on both sides in the corridor.
The old lady asked, "What did your aunt say?"
"My aunt said that the housekeepers of their family had gone to Jiangnan last month. I thought maybe we could catch up and meet them in Yangzhou."
The old lady shook her head, "Your aunt has become estranged from our family these days, probably because our mother made a noble concubine."
When Wang Xifeng was thinking about how to answer this question, the old lady said again, "Your aunt can't think about it, and the empress in the palace might even think about it...I chose a suitable person from our family a few days ago, and I want to send it to you. The palace went to give orders to the imperial concubine, but the House of Internal Affairs and the yamen of the inner palace refused to pick up this person. Presumably the anger of the empress has not subsided."
Wang Xifeng could only bite the bullet and persuade the old lady, "The empress is your granddaughter, the imperial concubine is your granddaughter, and they are all of your blood... What is there to think about? It must be the eunuchs in the various yamen who think about it." Get some benefits, as long as the money is paid enough, they will definitely let it go."
After hearing this, the old lady smiled again, "After all, girl Feng has some knowledge, you should go back first."
Wang Xifeng was eager to leave here at this time so that he could go back and rest for a while. After hearing this, he didn't refuse. He was going home with a few girls, but he didn't see Ping'er when he looked around.
"Where did Ping'er's hoof go? Grandma, I'm too tired to complain, but she's fine, she's gone to hide away."
There was a little girl named Feng'er, "Second Grandma, Sister Xiren called Sister Ping'er away just now."
After hearing this, Wang Xifeng gave up and took the people back to her yard.
Ping'er was taken to a secluded place by the attackers.
"Is there anything you can't say in public, but are you still sneaking here?"
Xiren looked around and saw that there was no one around, "The monthly money from our side hasn't been paid yet, I just want to ask you when will the money be paid?"
Ping'er also looked up and looked around, "Why do you need money so urgently?"
"That's not true. It's just that I've been waiting for several days. I just want to ask you two, master and servant, when will the monthly money be distributed?"
"Hurry up, it will only be like this for a day or two."
"I'd like to ask you, master and servant, what the hell are you doing? You didn't post it on time last month, and you didn't post it on time last month. This month, it was several days late. What's going on? ?”
"Isn't it because life at home is difficult, and our grandma took the money and went outside to make a profit?"
Xiren also just snorted coldly, "You guys are good means. You took our money to make money for you."
"It's just these few times. If you are short of money, just tell me. I still have some here, and I will send someone to send it to you. It's just that this matter is kept a little secret, so don't talk about it everywhere. Don't let our master know, otherwise many things will happen."
"I'm not in a hurry. You also know that the money I saved was only given to my mother-in-law outside. I don't have much place to spend money on weekdays. Today I just ask."
After the two talked, they walked back from the secluded place. Ping'er heard that Wang Xifeng had gone back, so he quickly resigned from the attacker.
"I should go too, go ahead."
Xiren nodded, and after watching Ping'er leave, he turned to look for Jia Baoyu himself.
The soles of Jia Lian's feet have blisters from running recently.Helplessly, the price of brick and tile building materials in the capital has remained high.How many people were waiting at the pier, bidding on the spot for everything brought in.
Jia Lian couldn't buy stone materials for four or five days, and he was anxious and angry, with several blisters in his mouth.This day was still without success. When returning home from the pier outside the city, he ran into the emperor outside the city.
"Why is Brother Cui here?"
The emperor walked over on his horse and bowed to him on the horse.
"A few days ago, the youngest son in the family was crying day and night, and the knowledgeable old people said that the baby's soul was unstable, so our wife went out of the city to attend a few days of puja, and today I will pick her up."
Jia Lian is also the son of everyone, and he knows all the etiquettes. After hearing this, he quickly adjusted his clothes, "I should go to see your wife, please urge my brother to lead the way."
The motorcade stopped, and Jia Lian greeted him outside the carriage, and the Empress Dowager sent an old lady out to pass some kind words.
The convoy moved forward slowly again, and two people rode on horseback at the tail of the convoy, talking without saying a word.
The emperor asked Jia Lian, "Why are you outside the city?"
"Going to the pier, our garden hasn't been repaired yet, we need to use some stones in some places, and see if we can find suitable ones."
"I've heard people say that your garden has been repaired a long time ago, and you have invited people to see it several times. Why hasn't it been repaired at this time, and you still need to use stones."
"It was supposed to be repaired, but there are a few places where stones should be placed by the water. Our master looked at them several times and was not satisfied with those stones. Now there is only one place left, so we must be slow." Find it slowly."
"I know a shopkeeper. When you go to him later, just tell me that I told you. He will bring you some good stones. It's just the price..."
"It will definitely not let them suffer."
The emperor nodded, and seeing the convoy entering the capital, he said goodbye to Jia Lian, "If brother Jia is not busy some other day, send a message to our shop, I have something to say to my brother."
Jia Lian also thought that he was too busy to touch the ground now, so he agreed.
After entering the city, he went to find the shopkeeper introduced by the emperor.
After busying for a while, I did buy a suitable stone. After Jia Lian took a breath, he went to find the emperor.
But I didn't expect someone from the Cui family to tell Jia Lian that their master was outside.
Jia Lian came to the window of a restaurant on horseback. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Cui Qiye craned his neck and looked down.
"Brother Cui, I'm already here, don't look."
"I didn't look at you, but at my son. Look at the one downstairs."
Jia Lian also craned her neck to look down, and saw a child pulling a basket with a basket full of pomegranates hawking below.
"What's this for? Your family doesn't lack the money, so why bother with the children."
The emperor felt distressed, "Who says it's not, but my daughter-in-law wants to do this anyway, what can I do?"
Jia Lian felt that Cui Qiye doted on his wife too much, "Wait a minute, I'll let the boys go down and buy that basket of pomegranates, I'll call the kids up first."
"Don't go, this idea doesn't work. If it does work, I've already used it just now. Why should you send someone down?" Sighed, "I often say that my wife is a loving mother, and I'm worried that he will take the child away in the future." He is so spoiled that he doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, who knows that he will drive the child to the street to sell pomegranates. Look at our kid who has never done such a thing."
Qilin squatted below for a while, and found that there were people coming and going here, and no one came to buy it, so he had to drag the basket to another place.
As soon as he moved the place, the emperor's side also changed places. "Brother Jia, let's talk in another place."
Jia Lian secretly sighed, his eyes full of envy.I feel that if my kid does this in the future, I will definitely follow behind.
Qilin was on the road with a big basket, and met the first buyer. After bargaining, Qilin weighed a pomegranate with a small scale and sold it to others, and got a few pennies to put in his pocket.
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he finally felt that his son's luck had come.The pomegranates in his basket were round and plump, with a bright color. Many people came up to ask the price, and Qilin even opened a piece for the inquirers to taste.
The basket of pomegranates was finally sold out, and after they were sold out, several people rushed out from all directions to carry the basket and weights for Qilin, and sent Qilin upstairs in its entirety.
The emperor was sitting on the edge of the table at this time, pretending to be indifferent, watching his son jump up and down the stairs.
"Greetings to you Jia Shibo."
After the salute, Qilin took out his small cloth bag, poured the copper coins inside onto the table and counted them one by one.Divide the money into two piles, one pile is the purchase price of this basket of pomegranates, and I will give it to my mother when I go back later.The other pile is the money I earned, which is my own.
Qilin pushed his pile of money to the emperor. "Father, you keep the money." After speaking, he winked at the emperor.When the father and son were here, Qilin said that he would honor his father after earning money, and this copper plate is for him to honor his father.
The emperor was so moved that he almost shed tears. He quickly pulled the copper coins into his arms, wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into his sleeves.
"Don't worry, Daddy won't spend this money in the future. Go back and find someone to thread it with silk thread and hang it in the study."
The father and son sat together and showed exactly the same smirk.Jia Lian looked sour in his heart.
The emperor smirked with his son for a while, and hurriedly cared if his son was hungry, thirsty, tired...
"Do you want to eat? Have someone get it for you. If you want to go for a walk, ask Jiang Xi to bring someone to follow you."
After Qilin had left, Jia Lian deliberately said to the emperor, "Brother Cui is going too far. He acts like this in front of me, a childless man, and doesn't care about my mood?"
"My sins, my sins, I'll punish myself with three cups later. I have invited Brother Jia here today because I have something important to tell you."
At this time, Jia Lian didn't bother about what happened just now, and immediately became curious. "What's the matter?"
"It's not a good thing. I heard the steward at home tell me that your family put usury outside... do you know about this?"
"How is this possible? Although our family is not as good as before, we still have money for food and drink... Who did it?"
"Your daughter-in-law."
"How could she do such a thing as a woman?" Jia Lian thought for a while, "Maybe it was something her companions did outside. I'll go back and have a good trial."
The emperor saw that his reaction was not like an insider, so he couldn't help persuading him, "You really have to ask clearly when you go back, but don't do things that violate the law and discipline. No way."
"I still know about this kind of thing. You know me as a person. I only have some petty problems of love for sex. I haven't harmed decent people. I don't know how to do other things. Don't worry."
Even though I said that, I kept muttering in my heart, the family is so money-loving, there is no one else except that tigress...
"Brother Cui's matter is about taking a thief and catching the stolen goods. Is there any evidence? If I tell my wife that when I go back, she won't admit it."
The emperor really came with evidence, he nodded to Qian Sheng behind him, Qian Sheng went downstairs, and came up after a while with a bag.
Pointing to the bag, the emperor said to Jia Lian, "Here is the evidence, you go back and have a look first. We are friends, I must say one more thing, if you can listen to it, listen to it, if you can't listen to it, just pretend I didn't say it.
The women in the family have to be careful, don't look at them talking and laughing at Yanyan, once you get ruthless, you don't know what they will do. "
"I'll make a note of this." Jia Lian was in no mood to drink anymore, and took this bag to bid farewell to the emperor and was about to go home.
After Jia Lian left, the emperor asked Qilin to be called back, and the father and son went back together.
On the way, the two were still discussing how to deal with the copper coins they earned.
"The queen mother said that making money is the easiest thing in the world, but told me that it is not easy at all. This is the first time I have made money."
"We will not spend this copper coin. There is a maid in your grandmother's palace who is very skillful. Ask her to weave two plum blossom knots for you. One big one is placed in the study of the emperor, and the other is placed in your study. Whenever you are hesitant about something, hold it in your hand and play, and you can also think of today's difficulty."
The father and son had already made plans, because they were really too excited, and went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom after returning to the palace.
The father and father stared at the maid who made the plum blossom knot with identical peach blossom eyes, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother after holding it in her hand.
Qilin had reported Qilin's performance today to Linlin, and Linlin was really satisfied when she heard about it, as long as this kid can open his mouth.There are many children who are unwilling to open their mouths in front of others, always feel embarrassed, Qilin is not such a person, he is a very lively boy.
The behavior of encouraging him in the early stage finally saw the results, and the next step is to let him have more sense of accomplishment.
After her son came back, Linlin touched his little head and said to him, "You also know that making money is not easy, so you should cherish this separation and never waste it. To waste it is to waste your hard work." .”
Qilin quickly nodded his head. "Mother, my son will sell pomegranates tomorrow."
Linlin smiled, "It's too slow to sell pomegranates, the queen mother will give you a Zhuangzi, do you dare to take over?"
Qilin's eyes widened immediately, "Zhuangzi... Is it the same Zhuangzi we went to last time?"
"That's a big Zhuangzi, let me practice with a little Zhuangzi."
Xiao Zhuangzi... is also a Zhuangzi.
Qilin nodded quickly, "Yes, son, dare, when shall we go to Zhuangzi?"
"It's not for you to go there to play. There are many things to do to be a small farmer. It's too late today. Tomorrow, when you are free, come to see the queen mother. The mother will tell you first. After the lecture, find some people to take care of you." Look at you, you will know that things are not easy to do after working for a year or two."
"A year or two more?"
"Then do you still want to share your mother's worries...People say that if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world, and the mother will say that you can't manage a village well, how will you manage our family's property in the future..."
"Don't be angry, my son will come to you tomorrow morning."

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
"How did you manage to talk to her?"
"She met your father and your brother when she went to the city, can you tell me if this is fate?"
Princess Shouchun nodded, "It is indeed fate. The capital is so big, she met my father once. Now that she has met my grandmother again, it can be seen that there is really a fate with our family. Then I will continue tomorrow Go teach that young man how to read?"
The Empress Dowager Xi didn't believe that her granddaughter taught people how to read. In her opinion, she just went to play with others when she had nothing to do.
Inevitably, I have to tell Princess Shouchun, "You are also a big girl, you must remember the taboo things, you can play with other girls, but you can't show your face in public."
"Granddaughter remembers that there are so many people around her, and if she wanted to show her face, she would have scared them away."
After Princess Shouchun and Qing'er had read books for several days, the Empress Dowager Xi thought that the two little girls would be worried about taking people outside, so she asked Qing'er to follow her into the Zhuangzi.
On this day, Princess Shouchun couldn't wait for Qing'er, so she asked one of her guards to go to the next door to have a look in Zhuangzi.
The guard took the two nuns to go for half a quarter of an hour, and met Qing'er on the way, several people gathered together, and came to Princess Shouchun.
Princess Shouchun couldn't help asking, "Why did you come? I can't wait for you if I wait."
Qing'er apologized on the side, "I kept you waiting, my mother won't let me go out, it's because my grandma told me to let me go out."
"why?"
"In the past few days, someone came to our Zhuangzi, saying that there are a few little sisters in our Zhuangzi, who have a bright voice and a good figure, and they want to buy them to be opera actors."
Princess Shouchun didn't want to give lectures anymore, so she grabbed Qing'er's hand and asked, "Did the family agree?"
"It's not that they can't afford food. Who sells their sons and daughters at this time. But those people just stay in our village and insist on buying those little sisters. My mother is also worried about me. So let me not go out for two days."
Princess Shouchun patted the table angrily, "Who is so bold to force someone to sell their child!"
"I've heard that many people in the city are going to take the empress back. It is said that the empress in the palace likes to listen to operas, so I just bought a small opera actor and went back to teach it. It's good to sing in front of the empress then. A paragraph."
"Nonsense, why haven't I heard of any empress who likes to watch operas. It's clear that some bastards are taking advantage of this incident to rob other people's daughters."
The foster nun next to her quickly reminded, "Girl, the girl's family can't say these things."
Princess Shouchun didn't care about these things anymore, "So what if I say it? You go and sue me in front of my mother."
The foster mother was too frightened to speak.
The more Princess Shouchun thought about it, the more angry she became, so she ordered a few of her guards and asked them to go to the village next door to find out, "If it is true that some people forcefully buy other people's children regardless of their wishes, they will be tied up directly, and I will go to my father Tell me."
The guards outside the door agreed and went out.Qing'er looked at Princess Shouchun with some fear, "If you do this, what if you get your parents into trouble later?"
"Don't think about it, just think about what I taught you yesterday, do you remember?"
Qing'er is really anxious now, "Look at my brain, I still remembered it this morning, but now I forgot it again."
There are more people serving the queen mother and the princess here, and what happened in the next village reached the emperor's table in the afternoon.
The one written on the table is more detailed than what Qinger said.
Someone bought an actor, and invited someone to teach these girls, writing clearly and clearly.After reading it, the emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a while. He decided on this strategy in the first place, in order to let these people buy more bricks, tiles and building materials, but he didn't let them buy the children of these good families.
It happened that Jia Hua came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River and joined Yushitai.Leave this matter to him. Since you have a dog, the dog must bite some people so that it can be considered a good dog.
So the court began to become restless again.
Lin Ruhai stood motionless in his place when facing the court.Anyway, my family didn't buy actors, nor did I raise actors.No matter how the fire burns, it can't reach my own body.
Lin Ruhai was in the team, and the old god was thinking about how his son was doing in the exams in recent days.In the beginning of next spring, I will take the Jinshi examination. If I don’t get the Juren this time, I won’t be able to become a Jinshi next spring.
My youngest son should also hurry up to educate him, so that he can understand some palace rules.This kid is just too skinny, he needs to be disciplined properly.
After he thought for a while, Jia Hua and Jia Yucun sprayed people to the end.Subsequently, several unlucky ones were removed from official positions, and several unlucky ones were fined money.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Ruhai came out with everyone, and heard several people discussing this matter on the road.
"Looking at it like this, there is no way to buy opera actors near the capital."
"The emperor said not to allow forced buying and selling, nor to force good actors to become actors. If not, let's go to the south of the Yangtze River. The Kunqu opera in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and there are many small opera actors there. Go there and buy some well-educated people. If you can sing directly at home, there should be no one to participate in the performance."
The people nearby nodded, this is also a way.
Lin Ruhai not only shook his head in his heart, thinking about going home early so as not to get involved in this matter, before he could move his legs, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Master Lin, go slowly."
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai kept on stepping, thinking that there are so many people surnamed Lin, they may not be calling me, even if they call me, they won't answer.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't listen, the people behind shouted again, "Master Lin, go slowly."
Lin Ruhai couldn't leave if he wanted to. After standing still, he slowly turned around, "I don't know which lord calls this old man?"
Jia Yucun trotted over and took a few breaths, "Why is Mr. Lin walking so fast, so that the officials can easily chase after him."
"I don't know if Master Jia is calling the old man, forgive me, forgive me, you are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
"The last time I had a hasty farewell to Mr. Lin, I still remember the demeanor of Mr. Lin, and I want to invite Mr. Lin to have a glass of water and wine later."
Lin Ruhai shook his arm, "I can't drink alcohol when I'm old. The imperial physician has already told me to avoid spicy and alcoholic beverages. I appreciate Mrs. Jia's kindness. I will have a chance to drink tea with you someday. Today is too late. It's really a coincidence that the middle and small dogs are going to his father-in-law's house to ask for a wedding date."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left. Jia Yucun followed behind and had time to chat a few words before meeting a eunuch from the harem.
This eunuch is specially waiting for Lin Ruhai.
"Your Majesty has ordered you to take something with you when you leave. This is a reward for the eldest son of your mansion. Don't refuse, my lord."
Jia Yucun quickly stretched his neck to take a look, and saw some festive palace satin, thinking that the empress in the palace probably made a face for her brother, so that it would look better in the father-in-law's house.
After receiving the things, Lin Ruhai thanked him again, but this Jia Yu Village was like a dog's skin plaster and couldn't get rid of it wherever he went.
Lin Ruhai had already reached the gate of the palace, "Master Jia, I won't chat with you today if I have something to do, please do it."
"It's easy to say, after two days to rest, I will go to visit the boss." After speaking, he took two steps back, turned around and strode away.
Lin Ruhai's face was not good-looking, and his baby brother Xie Da asked beside him, "Master, who is this? Why can't I understand that the eyebrows are raised and the eyes are lowered."
"Don't worry about him, I have avoided his limelight in the capital for the past few years."
After returning home, Lin Hao had already returned.Sitting in the hall talking to Jia Min.
Lin Ruhai was supported by the two sons and sat on the seat, and asked the elder son slowly, "Has the Xin family settled down?"
"It's settled down, and I visited the old man. The old man likes his son very much and rewarded him with a lot of good things."
Jia Min smiled and said to Lin Ruhai, "This is also someone who doesn't know how to be ashamed."
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, "Since the things are sent over, the two families can discuss a good date. I will treat Brother Ma to drink tea tomorrow, and thank him for lending the yard to his in-laws. It will be cold after the wedding. If it rains on the road It’s snowing and it’s hard to walk, the capital city is thousands of miles away from the land of Shu, and the road is not easy to walk, I mean let the old lady in-law wait until next year’s spring to go back.”
Jia Min thought for a while, "Otherwise, the master will go talk to Mrs. Ma tomorrow, and ask the old man in-laws to bring a few young masters to live there until the spring of the new year."
"Let's take a look again. When we get married, it's okay for the Xin family to live in our house."
Jia Min thought for a while, "It might be a bit inappropriate. I want to bring my mother back during the Chinese New Year..."
"How many relatives live in the family, so what's the matter. No family can do without a few relatives, the empress won't care about this, don't worry."
Lin Daiyu pulled Rajamin's clothes aside, "Mother just thinks too much, isn't my grandfather's house full of relatives?"
When Lin Daiyu said this, Jia Min remembered something, "Lian's daughter-in-law came to our house this morning, saying that many people went to Yangzhou, Suzhou, and other places to buy opera actors, and asked if our family would like to buy some? I was thinking of us. No one at home went to the theater, so I told her not to buy it.
But when I think about it later, when our old lady was still there, my mother liked to go out to see a theater with the old lady... Would the master buy it or not? "
Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Buying and selling people is a shameful thing. Our family has endless slaves, so why buy them again. Besides, the house is restless after buying them. Look at these two brothers, neither of them can calm down. For those who are determined to study, if there are more people who can sing ditties, you can see whether the two of them can still read the book."
Lin Jiao was unhappy, "Daddy can't say that, my son doesn't look at these things, my son wants a pony..."
Lin Ruhai snorted, stood up and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
Lin Jiao ran up to Jia Min with grievances, "Mother..."
"Hey, you're only a little taller. That pony is much taller than you. Let's learn how to ride a horse a few years later, shall we?"
Lin Jiao wanted to persuade Jia Min to agree to buy a pony, but Jia Min was dizzy from his disturbance, and beckoned to his elder son to take the little guy away, but Lin Jiao disagreed, and put his arms around Jia Min's waist and refused to leave.At this time, Wang Xifeng came again.
Jia Min wondered why his son Wang Xifeng went and came again, Lin Hao had already carried Lin Jiao out of the yard.
Wang Xifeng met the two brothers on the road, and greeted them from a long distance, "What are you two brothers doing here?"
"Hello, sister-in-law, take my second brother for a stroll in the street outside."
"That's a good relationship, you go early."
After Wang Xifeng and the two brothers said goodbye, they hurried to Jia Min again. "Auntie, I'm here again."
"Sit down quickly. Why are you running again? What's the matter? Just let the girl come over and tell me."
Wang Xifeng forced a smile on her face, "This is a big deal, how can the girls make it clear. I just want to borrow some people from you. My aunt lived in Yangzhou for a while before, and I borrowed some stewards who often work in Yangzhou. We want to buy some embroidery from Yangzhou."
Jia Min thought for a while and felt a little unhappy.I thought in my heart that it would be best not to get involved in the affairs of my mother's family, or I would not be able to tell if I would be fishy in the future.
He directly refused, "Is it possible that your family has no manpower? Besides, the Zhen family has deep roots in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is something to do, it would be better to invite their family to come forward."
Wang Xifeng explained with a smile, "The old lady said that my aunt might also buy something for the empress here. Our family happened to have a good time, so the two of us bought it together."
Jia Min smiled, "It's too late for you to say, our family has already gone last month, and they might come back next month."
Lin Daiyu brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Wang Xifeng, "Second sister-in-law, please drink some water."
"Don't dare to work on my sister. My sister sits down quickly. My sister-in-law is just a poor family, so I just need to drink whatever I want."
Lin Daiyu went back and sat beside Jia Min, "To tell you the truth, my second sister-in-law has already bought all the things in our house. I don't plan to buy anything I haven't bought."
"Auntie's work here is very profitable... It's just that Auntie really doesn't plan to buy some actors here. When the time comes..."
Jia Min waved her hand, "Your Majesty never liked this since she was a child. When he comes back, I'll just cook a few dishes and let her have a good meal. But for your family, if you don't have anything to buy, it's fine." If you want to buy it quickly, it will be too late."
Wang Xifeng put the teacup on the table, "I won't talk nonsense to my aunt, there are a lot of things I haven't bought, but I don't have any money now."
Jia Min thought in her heart, it really is the empress who is the most powerful. When her mother's family paid back the money, the empress said not to accept it. Now they don't have the face to borrow money again.
Wang Xifeng didn't think of coming to the Lin family to borrow money, and she just wanted to complain.
"Every move in the house costs money, and the money is really spent like flowing water. Every plant and tree must be calculated carefully, otherwise, if there is a lack of one side or another, it will be unsightly in the end. To tell you the truth from my aunt, the internal treasury at home has already been spent."
Jia Min followed with a sigh, "Who's family is not like this, I will also settle the score for you. When the empress gets married, the dowry is not just other odds and ends. You won't believe the amount spent. .
I remember that at that time, it cost tens of thousands of dollars just to entertain guests for dinner and drinks on the day of marriage.Let alone other things, like the wedding money that was thrown out, the wedding cake money given to relatives and friends...
I haven't been relieved this time since I got home, and we have encountered such a big event, otherwise, how could we not show this face to the empress, I heard that the garden of our family is the most mean among all the empresses. "
After saying this, he sent his youngest daughter, Lin Daiyu, to the kitchen to have a look, "Go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready. When it's done, put it on the table and treat your sister-in-law to a drink."
Wang Xifeng quickly stood up to stop her, Lin Daiyu agreed, and led the maids out.
Jia Min asked Wang Xifeng in a low voice, "You just have to tell me the truth, since your family doesn't have enough money...is the money you use now is the wife's private house or the old lady's private house?"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, "It's okay for my nephew and daughter-in-law to tell my aunt the truth. This money is neither the old lady's private house nor the wife's private house. It is the property of those merchants... Many merchants were stolen by Xue. My aunt brought it to my wife through needles and needles, and my wife took their property and started to build a garden."
Jia Min frowned, "This is not good, how much money can a small family have? Those big companies are willing to bow their heads easily. At this time, those who are willing to bring all their wealth to invest are small businesses. They How much oil and water do you have on your body?"
"My aunt is right. Although the small households don't have many taels of silver, they can't stand the crowd... Madam wants to take advantage of those big companies, but she doesn't dare to act rashly after she has lost her teeth."
Mrs. Wang is unlucky and Jia Min is happy to hear, "Which business is it that your wife is interested in?"
"Which one could it be? For basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, those cloth shops rank first. The leader of the cloth shop is Yunsheng. My wife has taken a fancy to Yunsheng."
Jia Min snorted coldly in his heart, hating the second sister-in-law to the extreme.
I thought in my heart that the family had already started to rob and rob, whether the old lady knew or didn't know.Thinking about it again, knowing is knowing, but just not caring.
Back when the old man was still alive, the Rongguo Mansion was the real rich family. Now that the two elder brothers are in charge of the house, the family life is getting worse day by day.Now that she doesn't even want a bit of decency, she actually collects other people's property everywhere, and if she can't do anything when someone asks her at the door...
See if her daughter can raise her head in the palace or not.
Several people had lunch together, Wang Xifeng said goodbye and went home, and went to see the old lady directly after returning home.
The old lady is wiping dominoes with her grandchildren in the pavilion.After seeing Wang Xifeng come back, he threw the cards in his hand on the table, "It can be regarded as coming back, why did it take so long to come back?"
Wang Xifeng was joking aside, "Don't throw the cards away, old lady. She must have seen that she couldn't win this hand, so she pretended to talk to me and threw the cards on the table to stop playing."
The maids and women in the pavilion all laughed. Xue Baochai Tanchun and Jia Baoyu stood up, bowed to Wang Xifeng as equals and then retreated. Several people commented on the chrysanthemums on both sides in the corridor.
The old lady asked, "What did your aunt say?"
"My aunt said that the housekeepers of their family had gone to Jiangnan last month. I thought maybe we could catch up and meet them in Yangzhou."
The old lady shook her head, "Your aunt has become estranged from our family these days, probably because our mother made a noble concubine."
When Wang Xifeng was thinking about how to answer this question, the old lady said again, "Your aunt can't think about it, and the empress in the palace might even think about it...I chose a suitable person from our family a few days ago, and I want to send it to you. The palace went to give orders to the imperial concubine, but the House of Internal Affairs and the yamen of the inner palace refused to pick up this person. Presumably the anger of the empress has not subsided."
Wang Xifeng could only bite the bullet and persuade the old lady, "The empress is your granddaughter, the imperial concubine is your granddaughter, and they are all of your blood... What is there to think about? It must be the eunuchs in the various yamen who think about it." Get some benefits, as long as the money is paid enough, they will definitely let it go."
After hearing this, the old lady smiled again, "After all, girl Feng has some knowledge, you should go back first."
Wang Xifeng was eager to leave here at this time so that he could go back and rest for a while. After hearing this, he didn't refuse. He was going home with a few girls, but he didn't see Ping'er when he looked around.
"Where did Ping'er's hoof go? Grandma, I'm too tired to complain, but she's fine, she's gone to hide away."
There was a little girl named Feng'er, "Second Grandma, Sister Xiren called Sister Ping'er away just now."
After hearing this, Wang Xifeng gave up and took the people back to her yard.
Ping'er was taken to a secluded place by the attackers.
"Is there anything you can't say in public, but are you still sneaking here?"
Xiren looked around and saw that there was no one around, "The monthly money from our side hasn't been paid yet, I just want to ask you when will the money be paid?"
Ping'er also looked up and looked around, "Why do you need money so urgently?"
"That's not true. It's just that I've been waiting for several days. I just want to ask you two, master and servant, when will the monthly money be distributed?"
"Hurry up, it will only be like this for a day or two."
"I'd like to ask you, master and servant, what the hell are you doing? You didn't post it on time last month, and you didn't post it on time last month. This month, it was several days late. What's going on? ?”
"Isn't it because life at home is difficult, and our grandma took the money and went outside to make a profit?"
Xiren also just snorted coldly, "You guys are good means. You took our money to make money for you."
"It's just these few times. If you are short of money, just tell me. I still have some here, and I will send someone to send it to you. It's just that this matter is kept a little secret, so don't talk about it everywhere. Don't let our master know, otherwise many things will happen."
"I'm not in a hurry. You also know that the money I saved was only given to my mother-in-law outside. I don't have much place to spend money on weekdays. Today I just ask."
After the two talked, they walked back from the secluded place. Ping'er heard that Wang Xifeng had gone back, so he quickly resigned from the attacker.
"I should go too, go ahead."
Xiren nodded, and after watching Ping'er leave, he turned to look for Jia Baoyu himself.
The soles of Jia Lian's feet have blisters from running recently.Helplessly, the price of brick and tile building materials in the capital has remained high.How many people were waiting at the pier, bidding on the spot for everything brought in.
Jia Lian couldn't buy stone materials for four or five days, and he was anxious and angry, with several blisters in his mouth.This day was still without success. When returning home from the pier outside the city, he ran into the emperor outside the city.
"Why is Brother Cui here?"
The emperor walked over on his horse and bowed to him on the horse.
"A few days ago, the youngest son in the family was crying day and night, and the knowledgeable old people said that the baby's soul was unstable, so our wife went out of the city to attend a few days of puja, and today I will pick her up."
Jia Lian is also the son of everyone, and he knows all the etiquettes. After hearing this, he quickly adjusted his clothes, "I should go to see your wife, please urge my brother to lead the way."
The motorcade stopped, and Jia Lian greeted him outside the carriage, and the Empress Dowager sent an old lady out to pass some kind words.
The convoy moved forward slowly again, and two people rode on horseback at the tail of the convoy, talking without saying a word.
The emperor asked Jia Lian, "Why are you outside the city?"
"Going to the pier, our garden hasn't been repaired yet, we need to use some stones in some places, and see if we can find suitable ones."
"I've heard people say that your garden has been repaired a long time ago, and you have invited people to see it several times. Why hasn't it been repaired at this time, and you still need to use stones."
"It was supposed to be repaired, but there are a few places where stones should be placed by the water. Our master looked at them several times and was not satisfied with those stones. Now there is only one place left, so we must be slow." Find it slowly."
"I know a shopkeeper. When you go to him later, just tell me that I told you. He will bring you some good stones. It's just the price..."
"It will definitely not let them suffer."
The emperor nodded, and seeing the convoy entering the capital, he said goodbye to Jia Lian, "If brother Jia is not busy some other day, send a message to our shop, I have something to say to my brother."
Jia Lian also thought that he was too busy to touch the ground now, so he agreed.
After entering the city, he went to find the shopkeeper introduced by the emperor.
After busying for a while, I did buy a suitable stone. After Jia Lian took a breath, he went to find the emperor.
But I didn't expect someone from the Cui family to tell Jia Lian that their master was outside.
Jia Lian came to the window of a restaurant on horseback. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Cui Qiye craned his neck and looked down.
"Brother Cui, I'm already here, don't look."
"I didn't look at you, but at my son. Look at the one downstairs."
Jia Lian also craned her neck to look down, and saw a child pulling a basket with a basket full of pomegranates hawking below.
"What's this for? Your family doesn't lack the money, so why bother with the children."
The emperor felt distressed, "Who says it's not, but my daughter-in-law wants to do this anyway, what can I do?"
Jia Lian felt that Cui Qiye doted on his wife too much, "Wait a minute, I'll let the boys go down and buy that basket of pomegranates, I'll call the kids up first."
"Don't go, this idea doesn't work. If it does work, I've already used it just now. Why should you send someone down?" Sighed, "I often say that my wife is a loving mother, and I'm worried that he will take the child away in the future." He is so spoiled that he doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, who knows that he will drive the child to the street to sell pomegranates. Look at our kid who has never done such a thing."
Qilin squatted below for a while, and found that there were people coming and going here, and no one came to buy it, so he had to drag the basket to another place.
As soon as he moved the place, the emperor's side also changed places. "Brother Jia, let's talk in another place."
Jia Lian secretly sighed, his eyes full of envy.I feel that if my kid does this in the future, I will definitely follow behind.
Qilin was on the road with a big basket, and met the first buyer. After bargaining, Qilin weighed a pomegranate with a small scale and sold it to others, and got a few pennies to put in his pocket.
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he finally felt that his son's luck had come.The pomegranates in his basket were round and plump, with a bright color. Many people came up to ask the price, and Qilin even opened a piece for the inquirers to taste.
The basket of pomegranates was finally sold out, and after they were sold out, several people rushed out from all directions to carry the basket and weights for Qilin, and sent Qilin upstairs in its entirety.
The emperor was sitting on the edge of the table at this time, pretending to be indifferent, watching his son jump up and down the stairs.
"Greetings to you Jia Shibo."
After the salute, Qilin took out his small cloth bag, poured the copper coins inside onto the table and counted them one by one.Divide the money into two piles, one pile is the purchase price of this basket of pomegranates, and I will give it to my mother when I go back later.The other pile is the money I earned, which is my own.
Qilin pushed his pile of money to the emperor. "Father, you keep the money." After speaking, he winked at the emperor.When the father and son were here, Qilin said that he would honor his father after earning money, and this copper plate is for him to honor his father.
The emperor was so moved that he almost shed tears. He quickly pulled the copper coins into his arms, wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into his sleeves.
"Don't worry, Daddy won't spend this money in the future. Go back and find someone to thread it with silk thread and hang it in the study."
The father and son sat together and showed exactly the same smirk.Jia Lian looked sour in his heart.
The emperor smirked with his son for a while, and hurriedly cared if his son was hungry, thirsty, tired...
"Do you want to eat? Have someone get it for you. If you want to go for a walk, ask Jiang Xi to bring someone to follow you."
After Qilin had left, Jia Lian deliberately said to the emperor, "Brother Cui is going too far. He acts like this in front of me, a childless man, and doesn't care about my mood?"
"My sins, my sins, I'll punish myself with three cups later. I have invited Brother Jia here today because I have something important to tell you."
At this time, Jia Lian didn't bother about what happened just now, and immediately became curious. "What's the matter?"
"It's not a good thing. I heard the steward at home tell me that your family put usury outside... do you know about this?"
"How is this possible? Although our family is not as good as before, we still have money for food and drink... Who did it?"
"Your daughter-in-law."
"How could she do such a thing as a woman?" Jia Lian thought for a while, "Maybe it was something her companions did outside. I'll go back and have a good trial."
The emperor saw that his reaction was not like an insider, so he couldn't help persuading him, "You really have to ask clearly when you go back, but don't do things that violate the law and discipline. No way."
"I still know about this kind of thing. You know me as a person. I only have some petty problems of love for sex. I haven't harmed decent people. I don't know how to do other things. Don't worry."
Even though I said that, I kept muttering in my heart, the family is so money-loving, there is no one else except that tigress...
"Brother Cui's matter is about taking a thief and catching the stolen goods. Is there any evidence? If I tell my wife that when I go back, she won't admit it."
The emperor really came with evidence, he nodded to Qian Sheng behind him, Qian Sheng went downstairs, and came up after a while with a bag.
Pointing to the bag, the emperor said to Jia Lian, "Here is the evidence, you go back and have a look first. We are friends, I must say one more thing, if you can listen to it, listen to it, if you can't listen to it, just pretend I didn't say it.
The women in the family have to be careful, don't look at them talking and laughing at Yanyan, once you get ruthless, you don't know what they will do. "
"I'll make a note of this." Jia Lian was in no mood to drink anymore, and took this bag to bid farewell to the emperor and was about to go home.
After Jia Lian left, the emperor asked Qilin to be called back, and the father and son went back together.
On the way, the two were still discussing how to deal with the copper coins they earned.
"The queen mother said that making money is the easiest thing in the world, but told me that it is not easy at all. This is the first time I have made money."
"We will not spend this copper coin. There is a maid in your grandmother's palace who is very skillful. Ask her to weave two plum blossom knots for you. One big one is placed in the study of the emperor, and the other is placed in your study. Whenever you are hesitant about something, hold it in your hand and play, and you can also think of today's difficulty."
The father and son had already made plans, because they were really too excited, and went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom after returning to the palace.
The father and father stared at the maid who made the plum blossom knot with identical peach blossom eyes, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother after holding it in her hand.
Qilin had reported Qilin's performance today to Linlin, and Linlin was really satisfied when she heard about it, as long as this kid can open his mouth.There are many children who are unwilling to open their mouths in front of others, always feel embarrassed, Qilin is not such a person, he is a very lively boy.
The behavior of encouraging him in the early stage finally saw the results, and the next step is to let him have more sense of accomplishment.
After her son came back, Linlin touched his little head and said to him, "You also know that making money is not easy, so you should cherish this separation and never waste it. To waste it is to waste your hard work." .”
Qilin quickly nodded his head. "Mother, my son will sell pomegranates tomorrow."
Linlin smiled, "It's too slow to sell pomegranates, the queen mother will give you a Zhuangzi, do you dare to take over?"
Qilin's eyes widened immediately, "Zhuangzi... Is it the same Zhuangzi we went to last time?"
"That's a big Zhuangzi, let me practice with a little Zhuangzi."
Xiao Zhuangzi... is also a Zhuangzi.
Qilin nodded quickly, "Yes, son, dare, when shall we go to Zhuangzi?"
"It's not for you to go there to play. There are many things to do to be a small farmer. It's too late today. Tomorrow, when you are free, come to see the queen mother. The mother will tell you first. After the lecture, find some people to take care of you." Look at you, you will know that things are not easy to do after working for a year or two."
"A year or two more?"
"Then do you still want to share your mother's worries...People say that if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world, and the mother will say that you can't manage a village well, how will you manage our family's property in the future..."
"Don't be angry, my son will come to you tomorrow morning."
