Jia Zhen and Jia Lian's wives were on board the boat to the capital. They were chatting and laughing. They were not lonely along the way, but because of Jia Zhen's entire Jia family, in the end, there was no family that was worth letting him bring out. , feeling a little depressed.

He came here this time mainly to study the ancestral tombs and the sacrificial fields, because he was the only one separated from Jia She, so they only wanted the tombs of Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan, and the sacrificial fields were reserved for the rest of the tribe.

Because Jia Zhen and Jia She were separated from each other, this was agreed by the emperor, so the Shi family and others had to admit it even if they didn't want to, but because Jia She was the eldest son, he should take care of his mother Shi, so Shi still lived In Rongguo Mansion.

That's not right, now there is no Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the capital, and it has become two first-class general mansions, and the regulations are also rebuilt according to the general's mansion.

Jia She and the Xing family moved into the remodeled main house, which was originally the Rongxi Hall. Although there were no decorations like Jia Daishan's when he was Duke of Rong, the spaciousness and refinement were by no means comparable to that of the Eastern Courtyard.

Originally, Jia She felt that Jia Hu was in charge of the family now and wanted Jia Hu to live in Rongxi Hall directly, but Jia Hu waved his hand and refused, because he did not have a title, even if he lived in Rongxi Hall, he could only live with Jia Hu. Like politics, it is not necessary to live in the wing room, it is better to monopolize the East Courtyard by yourself.

As for Jia Lian, Jia Hu directly discussed with him, anyway, sooner or later they will have a family, so he simply gave Jia Lian the yard copied from the Lai family, and asked him to move there with his wife and be the master of the house.

Anyway, it's like Ningguo Mansion, they are all on the same street, with a corner door at the back, it's no different from a mansion.

It's a pity that Shi Shi still let Jia Zheng live in the South Courtyard opposite Jia's mother under the pretext that he wanted his younger son to take care of him and couldn't do without Baoyu.

Of course, Shi Shi was not happy, and Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were also not happy, because Shi knew that Jia Zheng had to hand over the yard to Jia Amnesty anyway, so she wanted to let The two brothers changed the courtyard and gave Jia Zheng the East courtyard.

After all, Jia Hu has the Zhuangyuan Mansion himself, so he usually won't come back, and the East Courtyard is the largest and best courtyard besides Rongxi Hall and Jiamu's current courtyard.

In addition, the representative place of the East Courtyard was the courtyard where the heir lived. She hoped that Jia Zheng would live there first, and after two years, when Jia Zheng gained a foothold in the officialdom, he would give the courtyard to Baoyu.

It's a pity that Jia She and Jia Hu didn't agree. If Jia She hadn't hindered Jia Daishan's last words and said that the family could not be separated before Shi's departure, he would have kicked Jia Zheng's family out.

Shi was helpless, she knew that now she couldn't handle Jia Amnesty anymore, and Jia Hu and Jia Lian seemed to have gained the favor of the emperor. In the future, Jia Zheng and Baoyu might need their help, so they had to compromise.

When she remembered that the Lai family's house in the back was not smaller than Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian had already moved in with someone.

He also thought, only when Jia Zheng goes out to meet her, can he use the banner of the General's Mansion, and the Shi family can only make Jia Zheng live in the South Courtyard wronged.

In the early years, it was the residence of Jia Dairu, Jia Daishan's concubine brother. It wasn't too big, but it had a separate corner door, so it was convenient to travel. However, after Jia Zheng's wives and concubines lived in this courtyard, Jia Zhu's widow, Li Wan, mother and son could not be housed.

The Shi family simply gave Jia Min the yard before his marriage to their mother and son. This is the small courtyard behind Shi's yard, separated from Jia's mother by a wall, which is the yard where Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng lived in the red building.

In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off the west corner gate of the mansion. Jia Amnesty is a little bit unwilling, but he has no choice.

Mrs. Wang was also very unwilling. She married to Rongguo Mansion, but in the end she only got a five-rank and pleasant imperial seal, and she didn't get much money. Neither is enough.

And the one who was most unhappy was Jia Zheng. Although he could only live in the east wing of Rongxi Hall because of the rules, he could use everything except the main room.

Therefore, he kept a lot of diners in the East Courtyard next to the Rongxi Hall, and on weekdays, he called the big study at the back to review poems and books and study knowledge.

Now that Jia Amnesty is living in Rongxi Hall, he can no longer help him support these disciples for granted, but he still wants to occupy the East Courtyard, but this is just a dream.

Jia Amnesty didn't kick out the Xue family who lived in Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner, it was because Jia Hu said that they were still useful and he wanted to fish, so he reluctantly tolerated it.

In the end, Jia Zheng could only vacate a courtyard allocated to him in the city to accommodate these diners, but the expense was really high, which made Mrs. Wang worry about money every day.

But now, she can actually be the master of buying and selling the sacrificial field, but this sacrificial field is their own last retreat, she is reluctant to part with it, and she will not move the things in the old lady's hand, because from then on it will be precious jade of.

Just as she was moving around, a young eunuch from the palace came over again. The little eunuch knew that the two houses did not interfere with each other now, so he came directly to the west corner gate to look for Mrs. Wang.

The little eunuch, surnamed Zhou, looked very arrogant. When he saw Mrs. Wang, he didn't salute, but just cupped his hands and said: "The miscellaneous family is entrusted by Director Xia, come here to bring a letter to Mrs. Jia."

After Eunuch Zhou finished speaking, he tidied up his cuffs slowly, but did not continue. Mrs. Wang held her breath in her heart, but she flattered Zhou Rui's family to stuff a purse in her mouth.

After receiving the purse, it was light and weightless, so Eunuch Zhou smiled with satisfaction: "You are welcome, this is a letter from the female history to Yiren, take a look, do you want the miscellaneous family to help you pass it back?"

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly opened the letter, and after reading it, she closed the letter paper calmly, and asked Zhou Rui's family to serve good tea and asked him to wait a while.

Eunuch Zhou touched the purse that was delivered again, and said in a good temper: "Okay, but there is a time limit for the miscellaneous family to come out, it's better to act quickly."

Mrs. Wang nodded, took the letter, and asked the women to carry Xiaojiao from the inner door through the vertical flower gate to Jiamu's courtyard. At this time, Jiamu was listening to the news from the servant. Daiyu and Lin Ruijin were not married. The granddaughter and grandson who have met are coming.

Jia Baoyu, who was sitting next to Jia Mu, also said happily: "A fairy-like sister has come to the family, and now another fairy-like sister is coming. I can't wait for a quarter of an hour."

Mother Jia laughed out loud at being amused. Although she complained a lot about her daughter and son-in-law, she also knew that the Lin family had a lot of holy families and they should be friends.

Lin Ruhai holds great power in his hands, if he betroths Daiyu to Baoyu, Baoyu will not have to worry about his career in the future.

As for the Lin family playing chess, Jia's mother knew that Lin Hai definitely did not want Daiyu to be drafted, because the Lin family had the loftiness of a scholar and was unwilling to seek that kind of wealth.

Besides, even if the Lin family raised the Zhenglan Banner of the Shangsan Banner, but the Lin family is Han Chinese, and there is a rule that the daughters of the Lin family are not concubines, the emperor might not be able to propose marriage.

If the Lin family is willing, ask for grace, and avoid the draft, then Baoyu and Baoyu are a match made in heaven. As for Baoyu's identity not worthy of Daiyu, then there are cousins, cousins, and kisses.

Mrs. Wang listened outside, and naturally knew Shi's plan. Although she wanted Baochai to be her daughter-in-law, she also knew that Baochai's status was not good enough, and Daiyu was the best choice.

She didn't want Jia Min's daughter to be her daughter-in-law, but she thought that if she could get the help of the Lin family, she could bear it. At worst, she would let Baoyu marry Baochai again, and she would treat Daiyu Just turn a blind eye.

After thinking about it, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and let the magpie open the curtain and walk in. When Jiamu heard the voice and looked up, she saw Mrs. Wang and asked: "I just went back, why don't you take a good rest, are we here again? "

Mrs. Wang said: "Mother, the eunuch Xia next to Mr. Zhen sent someone to deliver a letter. My daughter-in-law wants mother to help me make up my mind."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I'm an old woman, I'm already confused. I don't have the shrewdness when I was young. It may not be right to give you an idea."

Having said that, she still asked Yuanyang to bring her tortoiseshell reading glasses, and here she also took the letter from Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang said honestly: "Mother has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. Naturally, our knowledge is not comparable to ours. If you give us your eyes, you will not be wrong."

Jia Mu was amused and laughed, and said, "They say you are stupid. Listen, isn't this a good way to coax people?" As she spoke, everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Baoyu and Mandarin ducks.

Yuanyang helped Jiamu fan the fan and laughed: "Madam, Madam, this is not coaxing you, you are really wise, but I have heard that when the old man was fighting, you guarded the rear, but there is old lady She Your style is amazing!"

Smiling and cursing: "You little hoof, you can be tricky with just one mouth!" Yuanyang smiled coquettishly, pulled Baoyu and ran out.

Jia Mu put on her glasses, and after reading the content, she pondered for a while, and said to Mrs. Wang, "Suo'etu is going to be an official. Mingzhu is probably going to retire. The eldest prince's side is not a good choice."

Mrs. Wang asked: "Then what will the Zhen family say when you reject Mrs. Zhen?"

Mother Jia shook her head and said, "Our two families are old relatives who have always helped each other. We were supposed to support Daqiantui together, but the Zhen family probably had other plans long ago, and now they want to send Yuanchun to Daqiantui's courtyard. I'm afraid they plan to use Yuanchun as a raft, and also use the Jia family as a scapegoat."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's eyes were red with anxiety, Mother Jia frowned and knocked on the floor, "What are you panicking about? Is the knife resting on your neck, or is the sky falling? If there's anything wrong, calm down!"

Madam Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Mother, what should we do now?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, and asked Mrs. Wang to come closer, and whispered in a low voice: "Stay still, nobleman Zhen, and bring 1000 taels of silver to Yuanchun later, but you have to write it with alum water on the back of the family members. fend for themselves."

Mrs. Wang was shocked, and Mother Jia looked down on her stupid appearance, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You wrote in the letter at home that her cousin from the Lin family has received the grace of a saint and is going to study in the palace. Elder Brother is with me, and when I arrive in Beijing the next day, and enter the palace to pay my respects, she will naturally understand what to do."

Seeing Jia Mu's calm look, Mrs. Wang seemed to have taken a reassurance. She didn't care about Jia Mu's contempt for her, as long as she got benefits.

Just like now, she knows that she doesn't need to know Shi Shi and Jia Yuanchun's plans, she just needs to follow suit.

However, as soon as she thought about taking out another 1000 taels of silver, Mrs. Wang began to feel pain again. What she was spending now was all the second room’s own money. , no one can touch it.

Mrs. Wang sent it away, and Shi Shi slumped on the chair with a headache. She knew that Jia Yuanchun's move was completely ruined. It is estimated that she will have good fortune in the future, and she is just a princess of the palace, even Yu Die. no.

However, this is the best way for her to save her life. Sibeile is a cold-faced prince who is dedicated to doing practical things. No matter who is in power, he will treat this virtuous king with three points of courtesy.

Of course, Shi did this mainly because she knew that Da Qiansui might not have a chance. If Yuan Chun came to Yinti's Prince's Mansion and something happened later, Jia Zheng and Baoyu would be implicated.

As for Jia Amnesty and the others, because they have already divided their clans, even the Zhu Jiu Clan is basically unaffected.

Therefore, Shi Shi could only choose the safest method, but it was a pity that she spent so many years of training, teaching, and painstaking efforts.

According to Shi Shi's explanation, after dismissing eunuch Zhou, Mrs. Wang began to worry about the family's expenses. She asked her accompanying room, Zhou Rui's family: "Have you collected all the rent?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "Ma'am, this year's crops have all been harvested, but this year's rain is heavy, and the two villages allocated to the master are low-lying and suffered disasters. The harvest is not more than [-]% of previous years."

"In addition, in our shop, because there are a lot of new shops this year, there are a lot of goods in stock, but we can't get much money for turnover."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she slammed the teacup in her hand. After she finished the drop, she felt distressed again. Now the loss was all paid for by herself.

At this time, the little girl outside stretched her head to look into the room, and Mrs. Wang said angrily when she saw it, "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and clean it up!"

The little girl hurried in with the broom to tidy up, and then said cautiously: "Madam, the master asked someone to come and say that he, he was eating in Aunt Zhao's room, and asked you to order some good wine and food to be brought over."

After finishing speaking, the little girl wished she could ball herself into a corner, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her eyebrows almost stood up. Fortunately, Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "Madam, the master is still behind."

Only now did Mrs. Wang realize that she was not in the spacious Rongxi Hall. There were only a few rooms in the yard here, and as long as she spoke in the yard, she could hear her louder.

Helpless, Mrs. Wang could only wave her hands with a cold face, and asked the little girl to go to the small kitchen to cook some good dishes according to the master's instructions. When only Zhou Rui's family was left in the room, she threw herself into Zhou Rui's arms and cried out. ,,,,....,,,,
