Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber
Chapter 56
After Yingchun this time, Jia's mother surrendered to the Queen Mother, and the relationship with Ningshou Palace took another step closer.Afterwards, when Yingchun went to Ningshou Palace again, he could always meet the Empress Dowager and talk a few words, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
This is all thanks to the secret help of Nanny Gui, so Yingchun finds out the Empress Dowager's activities, and does not arrive at Ningshou Palace a quarter of an hour before lunch every time, just in time for the Empress Dowager to be free before dinner.Zuo was just waiting to eat, gossiping just to pass the time.
Another visit time is two quarters of an hour before dinner.At this time, the empress dowager usually has free time, because chanting requires sincerity, and the empress dowager usually needs time to come out of the quiet environment after chanting.At this time, someone needs to chat with her about the hot topics in the world, and talk about the empress dowager's emotions back into the world of fireworks.
Because Yingchun had Nanny Gui waiting to play the side drums, she was able to have dinner every time she came back.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager will take a walk on the waterside bridge in the back garden of Ningshou Palace in the afterglow of the sun, and take a walk to digest food.Look at the flowers, plants and trees to maintain your eyes, and then feed the fish swimming in the water to relax your mood.
When the Empress Dowager climbed the mountain, Yingchun was the one who supported her. When the Empress Dowager cast bait, Yingchun was the one who clapped her hands and smiled delicately to create a different atmosphere: "Look, look, the koi is coming up, the fish are dancing Well, they must have known that the Empress Dowager is coming, so they came out together to congratulate and perform dances."
Generally, when people are not aware of the strange scene, they hear Yingchun’s exclamation, and then with Yingchun’s exclamation, there will be a strange scene on the lake. The queen mother made do with it.
In fact, there is no bait, and these koi will come out to have fun, because the koi king exudes arrogance, and they come out to pay homage to the koi fairy.
Afterwards, the koi worship and dance became a spectacle in the back garden of Ningshou Palace, and the emperor also came to watch it.
As a result, Yingchun and the emperor spent several times over and over again.Later, Yanxi Palace was rewarded by both the emperor and the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager specially rewarded Yanxi Palace with a complete set of silverware, including wine pots, wine cups, dishes, bowls, chopsticks, and basins and candlesticks, all 24 pieces in one color.
The emperor rewarded Yanxi Palace with a pair of gold and jade Ruyi, twelve pieces of palace satin, twelve sets of gold and jade heads, twelve pieces of silver fox skin, and twelve pieces of sable skin.This is a routine reward for the concubine. After the autumn hunting, Fanbang will enter the palace with various high-quality furs, and the emperor will reward the concubine for winter clothes.
The emperor gave various rewards this time, and the emperor specially rewarded two pots of cold orchids and two pots of Jianlan in Yanxi Palace.
This is a signal that the emperor especially favors Yanxi Palace.
The other concubines, You Ke, didn't know the meaning of the emperor's award of Han Lan, but they were just envious and jealous, and they were afraid that Chong Yuan would be favored.
Yingchun and Concubine Li's orchid lawsuit can hide it from others, but Concubine Li herself. The emperor's move is a slap in the face to Concubine Li.
Li Fei was so angry that she smashed the porcelain all over the floor.
Afterwards, Concubine Li inquired, Yingchun got the emperor's favor because she flattered the empress dowager, it wasn't Yingchun herself who moved the emperor, she sneered in her heart, could it be that the empress dowager's own aunt can't compete with an outsider?
For this reason, Concubine Li embarked on a journey to Ningshou Palace to fight for favor.
Concubine Li has a good understanding of the living habits of the empress dowager because she served as a female historian in Ningshou Palace.
Concubine Li makes various calculations to run on Yingchun.
On this day, when Yingchun went to Ningshou Palace, a eunuch suddenly rushed out on the long street and splashed wet clothes, and had to go back to change.
After Yingchun changed her clothes and hurried to Ningshou Palace, it was already too late, and Concubine Li had already arrived first.
Yingchun had no choice but to return.
Once the time is missed, it would be impolite, Yingchun had no choice but to cancel the visit that day.It is very impolite to interrupt the Queen Mother's meal because of being late.
Yingchun didn't pay attention at first, but when she went back the next day, someone splashed oil and water not far from the gate of Yanxi Palace, causing Yingchun to sprain her foot.
Yingchun found something unusual so far, so she ordered the koi to eavesdrop on the Yonghe Palace, only to find out that it was Concubine Li who caused the trouble.On the third day, Yingchun deliberately didn't avoid it, and after being splashed again on her clothes, she began to pretend to be sick, and ordered Xiuju to go to Ningshou Palace to plead guilty.
It's a pity that Concubine Li ran away from Yingchun. After walking with the Queen Mother, the spectacle of koi pilgrimage never appeared again. The Queen Mother was used to watching the koi dance every day.
However, Concubine Li was her niece, and she was pregnant with a child. For the sake of her grandson, she could only endure the displeasure in her heart.
The emperor went to visit and learned that Yingchun suddenly stopped going to Ningshou Palace, and the one who visited Ningshou every day was replaced by Concubine Li, which made the Empress Dowager depressed.The emperor didn't know that the empress dowager was depressed because of the koi incident, and he said that the empress dowager was not happy to see concubine Li because she was concerned about the orchid being scalded to death. Therefore, the emperor ordered concubine Li to raise her baby quietly.
Concubine Li didn't know what it meant, and said that it was the empress dowager who hated the orchids and secretly hated the Yuanchun sisters, it wasn't these two sluts playing tricks, how could the empress dowager alienate herself.
Concubine Li wanted to cause trouble, and it was not easy to find sisters Yuanchun.In terms of rank, she went to Chengqian Palace to salute Yuanchun first.How could he be willing.
It's not easy for Concubine Li to look for trouble in Yanxi Palace. Yingchun has ears to repay the gods. Once Concubine Li wants to do something wrong and wants to come to Yanxi Palace to deal with Yingchun, Yingchun always hides in Chengqian Palace first. , or simply went to Ningshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace is now a forbidden place for Concubine Li. The emperor said that she is not allowed to go to Ningshou Palace to disturb the Empress Dowager until the baby is born.
At first Concubine Li used her special status to force her way into the Ningshou Palace, but the emperor gave her a severe lesson and warned her that if she continued to mess around, she would be grounded and her monthly meeting would be cancelled, so Concubine Li became quiet.
After doing this, Concubine Li made a foolish move. Regardless of the Queen Mother's objection, she issued a decree to ask for the family.
Concubine Li is now five months pregnant, and her belly is already conceived. The emperor originally disagreed, but the Wu family also repeatedly asked for an order outside, saying that anyone is willing to live in silver to help, and now they have raised more than one million yuan , The start-up capital is already there, and the Wu family's money is not a problem.
Hearing this remark, the emperor took it easy, disregarding the empress dowager's objection, with a wave of the ink pen, let's visit his relatives.
But the time is set for the Shangyuan Festival, don't rely on me if you don't make it in time.
In fact, the Wu family has everything in place, such as wood, bricks and tiles, all have fixed shops to take over, and the big guys are risking their efforts to make a fortune.
Concubine Li's family visit incident caused a big wave in the harem.
Originally, she was still waiting to see Concubine Shu make a move, but Concubine Shu was very cautious. She shrank herself, but instigated her sister Zhou Meiren to come forward to visit her relatives in order to increase the Zhou family's honor.
Concubine Shu also has a good reason. Although Concubine Shu has not been ripped off the green-headed brand, the emperor has not turned on her for a long time. She can't speak in front of the emperor at all. My sister's family repaired the garden to pick me up.
Before, there was Concubine Hui in front of her, and then Concubine Li and Concubine Shu were born in a big way, which made Yuan Chun's heart go crazy.
Because one of the reasons why Yingchun tricked her into calming down at first was to wait and see, and let Concubine Li be the weathervane.
Now Concubine Li is moved, and Yuan Chun is moved.
However, now that Yingchun knew about the emperor's plan to raise pearls and kill meat, she would never let Yuanchun mess up. She had already prepared two reasons to wait for Yuanchun.
First, Yingchun asked Yuanchun to inquire carefully to see what the empress dowager's attitude was after Concubine Li made up her mind to visit her relatives.
Second, Yingchun decided to tell Yuanchun the sad news that Rongning and Ningfu had a fight.
Yuan Chun hurriedly asked what happened.
Yingchun said that because Jia Lian followed her sister's opinion, Shang Zhezi did not agree to pick him up, so Jia Zhen instigated the elders of the whole family to come to the Rongfu and forced them to spend money to build a garden to pick him up.
Of course Jia Lian resolutely refused, and used the words of the Yuanchun sisters to restrain the two masters, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.
Then, Jia Zhen failed to make a plan, and made another plan. He got involved with a gathering of dudes in Kyoto, and recruited Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Baoyu to bomb them collectively.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng wavered, and finally Jia Lian and Baoyu withdrew angrily.
Jia Lian simply saw that visiting relatives was harmful and not beneficial.Baoyu couldn't listen to these people using their sisters for welfare.
Baoyu doesn't agree with the matter of visiting relatives now.
Today, Baoyu studies harder because Yingchun has hung two large carrots on her nose.
The first one, Yingchun sent Baoyu a message, as long as Baoyu earnestly studies and progresses, one day he will become a minister in the study room. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, went to the palace to pay homage during her birthday. At that time, she had the opportunity to meet her sisters.
The second carrot.Yingchun told Baoyu that if he wanted to marry Daiyu, he had to overcome the obstacle of Wang.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Mrs. Wang didn't like Daiyu as a daughter-in-law.However, as long as Baoyu was in high school in the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, preferably the top three in high school, he would try to marry them.
At that time, the Wang family did not dare to object. Daiyu married Baoyu, and she was no longer an orphan girl. She became the young mistress of Rongfu, the wife of a Jinshi, and she had a royal seal, so she could go to the palace to meet her and visit her personally .
At that time, if Baoyu had anything to say, he could just tell Daiyu, and if he had something to say, he could also tell Daiyu to take it back to him. In this way, we could see each other once a month. Wouldn't it be the same as being married outside?
Yingchun finally told Baoyu that whether the sisters in the family are doing well and whether they have face in the in-law's family mainly depends on whether the brothers in the mother's family are capable or not, whether they are up to date.
As a man, if you don't think about making progress, you only focus on living on the rewards of the old lady. If you continue to mess around like that, you will be done for a lifetime, and don't even think about it.
Wanting to marry Daiyu is tantamount to going to the sky, Wang's stopped, and the old lady can't help it, because since ancient times, the parents have decided the marriage, and the old lady can't surpass the parents. Brother Bao, if you don't work hard, just wait to marry Bao sister.
After some careful consideration, Baoyu felt that Yingchun's words were justified, and since then she no longer mentioned the matter of visiting her relatives, and went to study hard every day for her own happiness in life.
However, Yingchun didn't reveal the above-mentioned foolish Baoyu's words to Yuanchun, so he just skipped it and said that Baoyu acted handsomely.
This time, he was forcibly pulled back to attend Jia Zhen's so-called family meeting, but some outsiders who didn't know what to do came, Jia Lian suddenly became angry, and Baoyu walked away with him.
Jia Lian immediately got into a fight with Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen asked the aunt and grandma of the Jia family to ask for relatives, and Jia Lian asked for a division of the clan, and threatened Jia Zhen. .
Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng were so angry that they wanted to beat Jia Lian, but Jia Lian held his head and did not bend down. Then a letter of complaint sued Jia Zhen to Jing Zhaoyin, saying that Jia Zhen disobeyed the old lady and bullied the clan by virtue of her status as the patriarch. Uncle Li and brother.Different ways are not for conspiracy, so he asked to separate from Jia Zhen.
Anyway, I came to Ningguo Mansion to meet Jia Zhen, and I have already given five clothes to Jia Lian.Branches are also reasonable.
Now Jing Zhaoyin has received the pleadings, because Jia Yucun and Jia Zheng have a good relationship, the pleadings are suppressed and there is no trial.
Yuan Chun was stunned when he heard these words: "When did this happen?"
Yingchun said: "It's not complete to reward Sister Feng for visiting relatives. This time the ancestors entered the palace to thank you. Sister Feng told me that because my sister was pregnant, I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would make trouble and it would not be good for An fetal.
Yuan Chun was absent-minded for a while, and said, "So, it's not possible to visit relatives?"
Yingchun said in a low voice: "Sister, think about the attitude of the majesty. At the beginning, when my sister said that she didn't care about your relatives, did the majesty treat you more and more? Now you are going back on your word, what does the emperor think? And the time for visiting relatives is in Shangyuan. It was very cold at that time, Are you sure that the child will not have any problems after such a toss? Think again, you have a son, is there hope in what you want to do in the future? The Queen Mother once followed the Supreme Emperor to Jiangnan for inspections, did she go home secretly? Can you do it in the future?"
Yingchun's drawing of the blueprint touched Yuan Chun's heart, and Yuan Chun's eyes lit up immediately.
Yingchun smiled, and said again: "I think it would be great if the second elder brother can successfully branch off from the Ning Mansion this time. In this way, the second elder brother can become the clan leader of the Rong Mansion, leaving aside the messy things in the Ning Mansion. Sister, you Think about Qin Keqing's death, and think about it again, the Ning Mansion and the Zhongyi Prince's Mansion are now linked to the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, but the Zhongyi County King is the grandson of the emperor who has been trampled down by today, what can he do with the Zhongshun Prince? Good thing? What good thing is there for the Ning Mansion to join forces with them? It's better to separate clans, each is cheaper."
Yuan Chun's face became calm: "Sister, is this what you want me to say?"
Yingchun's forehead: "It's better for my sister to say that she misses the old lady and let the old lady enter the palace to visit relatives. The Empress Dowager thinks that my sister's pregnancy is more frequent. Although she thinks it is more frequent, she will definitely allow it. My sister will divide us into the same family." Having said that, it is best to analyze the general situation, because the old man used to support King Zhongyi, and now he can no longer have old eyes. We are all married to the emperor, and my sister is pregnant. Can it be impossible to help outsiders deal with us? We have to follow The emperor has one heart, the emperor's enemy is our enemy!"
Yuan Chun's face gradually turned red, he pursed his lips into a smile, and stretched out his hand to meet Chun Equinox Ruirui's pretty face in shame: "I don't know how to be ashamed, little girl, have you moved your heart?"
Yingchun said seriously: "No, I just resigned to my fate, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog."
Yuan Chun was so frightened that he covered Yingchun's mouth: "Speak nonsense, how can the emperor be compared to a dog!"
Yingchun laughed, and as soon as Yuanchun let go, Yingchun raised her forehead: "Well, the emperor is not a dog, he is a dog that is in heat everywhere!"
Yuan Chun's eyes turned red: "I know you are arguing for me. I chose this myself. There are 3000 people in the harem Fendai. It has been like this since ancient times. My sister will not say anything."
Yingchun smiled and held Yuanchun's hand: "It's good for my sister to figure it out."
Only then did Yuanchun realize that Yingchun was just persuading himself, so he smiled and scratched Yingchun's nose: "You are a clever little kid, you know everything."
Yingchun suddenly remembered that Yingchun, where she lived, was disliked by Yuanchun, and wrinkled her nose: "How can it be? The sisters in the family recite poems and compose Fu, Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai Sandingjia are doing it alternately. Calligraphy, I had to pretend to play chess, but I couldn't beat Sister Lin in the game, it was useless."
Yuan Chun didn't believe it, Ying Chun was so smart and sensitive, how could she not understand poetry, she thought Ying Chun was self-effacing, and comforted her: "If you seek perfection, you will be ruined, no one is perfect, the harem doesn't need smart people, my sister is just fine like this."
Afterwards, Yuan Chun went to Zhezi to meet again. Jia Mu and Sister Feng came, and Yuan Chun recounted the words of Yingchun according to the scriptures.
Jia's mother originally blamed Jia Lian for splitting the clan, and made a big fuss about it. Jia Zhen's support for the family was also a good intention, but her attitude was tougher, which was also the reason why he was in power when he was young and acted out of loyalty.
When Jia's mother said this, Yuan Chun knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Jia's mother could not accept the division of the clan.
Then he dismissed the crowd, and made a final confession with Jia Mu, saying: "In the past, the ancestors obeyed the arrangement of the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor personally selected the new lord of Jiangshan. What about the county king? The old lady has seen many storms in her life, and she should know that those who betray the master will die. Besides, if the family joins with outsiders now, it will put me to the death of my second sister. The old ancestor still said that Jia Zhen did it for us. How are you sisters?
If the old lady doesn't come to her senses and follows Shenhe, she will tell our children and grandchildren to die together, or the old lady will go back and announce the separation of my second sister and me, or the old lady will go back and let go, and persuade the clan elders to discuss matters and separate the two houses.Whether our sisters live or die depends on the old lady's thoughts. "
Yuan Chun's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he turned his face away.
Jia Mu was dumbfounded by her sudden bombardment. She was stunned for a long time, and tears filled her eyes in an instant: "Yuan girl, are you trying to pick my heart out?"
Yingchun didn't expect Yuanchun to speak so aggressively, and was momentarily stunned.Busy explaining for Yuan Chun: "Don't blame the elder sister, the old lady, every step of the palace is frightening, plotting and scheming everywhere, the elder sister is always worried about it, she is afraid that if she makes a wrong step, it will lead to a catastrophe.
Since the eldest sister was pregnant, she couldn't be favored. Now the emperor only comes once every ten days and a half months, and there are few opportunities to speak.If there is still trouble at home, the old lady thinks about it, the Holy Majesty is most afraid of King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi County, and now they are just hindering the Supreme Emperor and not doing anything.One day when the Supreme Emperor is gone, I don't know what the emperor will do.There is a big one. Since ancient times, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?
Since the shooter shoots the horse first, our family will make a fuss like this, I am afraid that we will be wiped out as a rush, and the prince will be angry, blood will flow like a river, can our family bear the consequences of the emperor's anger? "
"Old lady, you have to think about it and make up your mind, whether it is the second elder brother Bao who kisses you, or the eldest brother Zhen!"
Sister Feng was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
Seeing her dumbfounded, Yingchun gave her a wink and ordered her to join in and fool Jia Mu.
Sister Feng hurriedly interjected: "Old lady, the concubine Xian has a big chest and a big belly. In less than ten days, she summoned us to enter the palace twice. Why? If it wasn't for the emergency, think about it carefully, old lady. Forgive Concubine Xian, pregnant people can't sleep and are impatient, and the empress will always target the old lady because she is worried about the family situation. Apart from blood relatives, who would worry about our family so much."
When Jia's mother heard the words, she wiped her tears from her forehead: "How can I not understand what you say? I can't bear it here either. Zhen'er's mother died early, and she held my hand before she died. And unreliable, now that I kick him away, I can't get over it, I always feel that her mother is watching me."
Yuan Chun's complexion changed, and Ying Chun hurriedly said: "It's not that the old lady doesn't care about him, it's just that letting him mess around like this will also burden us, and we will each have their own jobs. If he is good, the old lady doesn't need to worry. If it’s not good, the old lady will help him once or twice, and no one will say a word, do you think that’s the reason?”
When Yingchun said this, Jia's mother felt more at ease, and said with her forehead: "Since you both mean the same thing, I will take care of it when I go back, but if I want to teach Lian'er to withdraw the pleadings, we will divide the clan by ourselves. It is really hard to go to court. a shame."
Yingchun and Yuanchun looked at each other, felt that this was acceptable, and said: "It's all up to the old lady to decide, the second elder brother will be the head of our branch from now on, so there's no need to live with the old man anymore, old lady I can't afford the duties of the clan wife, and the second wife is sick, so why don't the old lady directly nominate the second elder brother to be the head of the clan, and Sister Feng's everything is in order, so if you keep looking at these things, it's okay to keep them for nothing, what do you think?"
Watching the interaction between the two granddaughters, Mother Jia finally felt that she was getting old, and thought to herself, that's all, now the family will rely on the two granddaughters for support within ten years, because she said with her forehead: "It's up to you."
Received the promise from Jia Mu, Yingchun glanced at Yuanchun, got up and smiled and said: "Old lady, you can sit with the elder sister. After the elder sister is pregnant, she always has doubts in her heart. You have experience, so you can explain it to the elder sister. Sister Feng and I went out for a walk."
Sister Feng also had something to discuss with Yingchun, so she hurriedly smiled: "That's fine, I'll accompany Second Sister for a walk."
For a while, Yingchun and Sister Feng went to the Aiwan Pavilion behind Chengqian Palace, ordered Xiuju to guard the intersection, and sat and talked in the Aiwan Pavilion.Yingchun glanced at Sister Feng: "How about the money in and out of the house now?"
Sister Feng was stunned, not knowing where Yingchun's question came from.
Yingchun smiled: "Chuang Tzu is still making money, right?"
Sister Feng was busy digging out the money: "This is the latest income, the second younger sister will share the dividend, a total of 5000 taels in five months, the empress will keep it, and the palace will be easy to manage."
Yingchun accepted it with a smile: "Tell me the truth, how much did you earn?"
Sister Feng would get the wrong idea and turn her eyes for a moment: "Second sister thinks it's too little? It's just that it's not easy to do business nowadays, labor costs, headcount fees, everywhere, everything needs money, and there are various merchants who make profit, seven or seven Eighty-eight, there is not much left, in the past five months, my sister-in-law and I have earned the title of prince."
Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled secretly, knowing that Sister Feng had set up an ambush, she didn't point it out, and said, "How much is the income from the land in the mansion?"
Sister Feng made a silent calculation: "Well, this year's spring is better than in previous years. Didn't the old man Lai Da get it back by stealing the winery? In the first half of the year, he made a profit of [-] yuan. When he said it, he got angry. This bastard, he used to He only pays us [-] silver a year, and he still talks about it and complains endlessly. The more he thinks about it, the more he gets angry.
This time to expel the Lai family, the old lady asked your second brother to give over 1 silver belongings to Nanny Lai. In the end, that little thief Lai Shangrong still messed with us. Hey, it's hard to say whether he can live or not, this person is so incompetent, he deserves it! "
Yingchun thought of the medicinal materials in her own space. Now she doesn't need money. In the future, when Yuanchun has a baby, what would she think?
It is impossible not to fight in the harem, and it is impossible for me to take the initiative to compete with Yuan Chun for favor. Yingchun will take refuge in the Queen Mother and will not take the initiative to turn against Yuan Chun. As long as Yuan Chun does not turn against himself, then the sisters will work together to live better.
If Yuan Chun's baby is a son, then you have to make some preparations for him. A poor prince will be humble when he goes out. Instead of asking him to make friends with ministers and attract people's attention, it is better to make preparations at home. If you have money in your pocket, you will not panic. ah.
Yingchun said with a smile: "We also have some storefronts. I heard from my second brother that they have been refurbished, and I haven't decided what to do yet.
Sister Feng, do you want to open a crude drug shop or something? There are people in our eastern province who have land, and medicinal materials are produced there. It is very cheap to open a crude drug shop. I heard that Brother Huan is now mixing with Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying to play guns and sticks. How are you? Win him over, be kind to him, from now on you can instruct him to escort the herbs, you just tell Sanyatou, tell her to learn from brother Huan, and when he gets married, you promise her a dowry of [-] silver in the public account. Big sister is just like me, she must be devoted to you.
Sanyatou is a capable person and also has calculations. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will definitely do her best to help you. Don't pay too much attention to power and money yourself. Let Ping'er and Sanyatou help you. Take advantage of your youth and give Er It's important for the elder brother to give birth to a younger brother. Why does elder brother Zhen control the second elder brother in everything? Isn't it because the second elder brother has no son! "
Sister Feng blushed: "Talking about this again!" After a pause, she nodded again: "I know!"
Yingchun asked again: "Sister Feng, do the math. Now that the income and expenditure of the mansion are balanced, how much money is left?"
Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled: "In a good year, at least two or three thousand yuan can be saved. If there is a shortage of harvest, there are wineries and shops, and if you don't do business, you can rent out a few thousand silver and have a tight account. It can also be balanced."
Yingchun smiled and said: "Open another herbal medicine shop, and I will promise you to earn a prince's double salary for a year."
Sister Feng's eyes flickered suddenly: "How can you make so much money? Why is Xue's drugstore going to close?"
Yingchun sneered: "Don't worry about him, when did idiot Xue do something seriously? In this way, you will lose [-] silver a year, and you will still have the bottom line of your ancestral property. There will also be thousands of silver left over there every year, which you can use. Do you still remember what you just said when you resigned? Lai Shangrong just wasn’t satisfied, so he ended up like this.”
Sister Feng frowned, staring at Yingchun with her beautiful eyes, her eyelids twitched after a while: "Second sister, you mean the Lin family's stuff?"
Welcome the spring forehead.
Sister Feng bit her lip: "The Lin family's millions of silver are all in the treasury and have not been moved. Originally, the old lady wanted to use this as a base, borrow some to build a garden, and take the aunts and grandma back to Ning. Now it is no longer needed, and I am also panicking. I can’t bear to throw it away, and use it, but I’m flustered, seeing Sister Lin dangling in front of my eyes every day, I feel uneasy.”
After a pause, he looked at Yingchun: "there are old ladies, elder masters and second masters here. Even if I have my heart, I can't make the decision. At worst, how much I share in the future, I just return it to Sister Lin."
Yingchun also knew that it would not be easy to dig it all out and return it to Lin Daiyu, because she said: "It's good if you have this intention, and it's best to return the other people's money, otherwise, you will not feel at ease for a few lifetimes. There will be more and more, why bother to live with the burden?"
Sister Feng's forehead: "That's very true."
Yingchun sighed: "I know it's not easy for you, and I'm not trying to force you, I'm just telling you a reason, after all, we will be in the palace from now on, and the family will depend on you and the second elder brother now, and a person must act righteously to be rigid. Only in this world can we stand on our feet and stand on our foundation. To let the future generations live a bright and aboveboard life, we must not leave hidden dangers for the children, and let the children be beaten with black guns one day, saying that they are here to avenge their ancestors coming."
Sister Feng smiled: "Don't worry about that."
Yingchun said again: "Has the Xue family moved out? Are they still in Lixiangyuan?"
Sister Feng frowned: "What else can I do?"
Saying this, he sighed: "Nowadays, the mother and daughter of Xue's family spend almost every day in front of their wife to flatter them. Fortunately, Baoyu is working hard in the study every day, and will not go to his wife's room when he is free. I am so worried here. I am afraid that my wife will die one day How can I feel sorry for Uncle Lin by using a way to fool my aunt and grandma with a good decree for marriage. Uncle Lin used to repay our family’s hundreds of thousands of debts. I heard about this matter from my uncle. No one mentioned it. I just felt guilty when I saw Sister Lin."
Yingchun hooked her lips and smiled: "Don't worry about this. Baoyu's performance now shows that the message you brought last time has worked. As long as Baoyu can keep it, I will keep her and give her a marriage."
Yingchun originally planned to persuade Sister Feng to let go, so that Wang can take care of her own life, so as not to hurt Sister Lin's daughter-in-law in the future.Now it seems that once this person wakes up, he is afraid that he will become a monster.Yin asked, "Why is the second wife served by Baochai, and sister-in-law Li Wan, doesn't she care?"
Sister Feng's complexion changed, as if she couldn't speak: "Oh, speaking of sister-in-law, I really don't know how to say it."
Yingchun was taken aback for a moment: "Even though sister-in-law doesn't talk much, she has an old-fashioned temperament and a tight grip on power and wealth. She is indeed very smart. What will happen?"
Yingchun thought, maybe Li Wan would not be able to marry again?This is also understandable, if you are less than 30 years old, in modern times, it is the time of romance, or is it because you are clinging to the uncle in the house?
Yingchun couldn't help thinking of Jia Rui's account. Could it be that someone else has taken a fancy to Li Wan?
What Sister Feng said didn't matter at all, but it made Yingchun blush: "Sister-in-law is now living behind closed doors, saying that she is a widow, so she should not go around. She also said that she is in poor health, and now she doesn't even wear plain clothes. Every day, she is dressed in white, or in black, or in gray, and she doesn’t wear any gold or silver jewelry on her head. The cloth is torn off and she holds a cloth baotou. She also wears black clothes with a black baotou, and white clothes with a white baotou. She looks like a ghost. People will panic when they see her in the daytime! People in the house are afraid of seeing her! Wenches and women are not willing to follow her. When the sky comes to make trouble with me, if I want to change errands, I will die of worry Already!"
This is all thanks to the secret help of Nanny Gui, so Yingchun finds out the Empress Dowager's activities, and does not arrive at Ningshou Palace a quarter of an hour before lunch every time, just in time for the Empress Dowager to be free before dinner.Zuo was just waiting to eat, gossiping just to pass the time.
Another visit time is two quarters of an hour before dinner.At this time, the empress dowager usually has free time, because chanting requires sincerity, and the empress dowager usually needs time to come out of the quiet environment after chanting.At this time, someone needs to chat with her about the hot topics in the world, and talk about the empress dowager's emotions back into the world of fireworks.
Because Yingchun had Nanny Gui waiting to play the side drums, she was able to have dinner every time she came back.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager will take a walk on the waterside bridge in the back garden of Ningshou Palace in the afterglow of the sun, and take a walk to digest food.Look at the flowers, plants and trees to maintain your eyes, and then feed the fish swimming in the water to relax your mood.
When the Empress Dowager climbed the mountain, Yingchun was the one who supported her. When the Empress Dowager cast bait, Yingchun was the one who clapped her hands and smiled delicately to create a different atmosphere: "Look, look, the koi is coming up, the fish are dancing Well, they must have known that the Empress Dowager is coming, so they came out together to congratulate and perform dances."
Generally, when people are not aware of the strange scene, they hear Yingchun’s exclamation, and then with Yingchun’s exclamation, there will be a strange scene on the lake. The queen mother made do with it.
In fact, there is no bait, and these koi will come out to have fun, because the koi king exudes arrogance, and they come out to pay homage to the koi fairy.
Afterwards, the koi worship and dance became a spectacle in the back garden of Ningshou Palace, and the emperor also came to watch it.
As a result, Yingchun and the emperor spent several times over and over again.Later, Yanxi Palace was rewarded by both the emperor and the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager specially rewarded Yanxi Palace with a complete set of silverware, including wine pots, wine cups, dishes, bowls, chopsticks, and basins and candlesticks, all 24 pieces in one color.
The emperor rewarded Yanxi Palace with a pair of gold and jade Ruyi, twelve pieces of palace satin, twelve sets of gold and jade heads, twelve pieces of silver fox skin, and twelve pieces of sable skin.This is a routine reward for the concubine. After the autumn hunting, Fanbang will enter the palace with various high-quality furs, and the emperor will reward the concubine for winter clothes.
The emperor gave various rewards this time, and the emperor specially rewarded two pots of cold orchids and two pots of Jianlan in Yanxi Palace.
This is a signal that the emperor especially favors Yanxi Palace.
The other concubines, You Ke, didn't know the meaning of the emperor's award of Han Lan, but they were just envious and jealous, and they were afraid that Chong Yuan would be favored.
Yingchun and Concubine Li's orchid lawsuit can hide it from others, but Concubine Li herself. The emperor's move is a slap in the face to Concubine Li.
Li Fei was so angry that she smashed the porcelain all over the floor.
Afterwards, Concubine Li inquired, Yingchun got the emperor's favor because she flattered the empress dowager, it wasn't Yingchun herself who moved the emperor, she sneered in her heart, could it be that the empress dowager's own aunt can't compete with an outsider?
For this reason, Concubine Li embarked on a journey to Ningshou Palace to fight for favor.
Concubine Li has a good understanding of the living habits of the empress dowager because she served as a female historian in Ningshou Palace.
Concubine Li makes various calculations to run on Yingchun.
On this day, when Yingchun went to Ningshou Palace, a eunuch suddenly rushed out on the long street and splashed wet clothes, and had to go back to change.
After Yingchun changed her clothes and hurried to Ningshou Palace, it was already too late, and Concubine Li had already arrived first.
Yingchun had no choice but to return.
Once the time is missed, it would be impolite, Yingchun had no choice but to cancel the visit that day.It is very impolite to interrupt the Queen Mother's meal because of being late.
Yingchun didn't pay attention at first, but when she went back the next day, someone splashed oil and water not far from the gate of Yanxi Palace, causing Yingchun to sprain her foot.
Yingchun found something unusual so far, so she ordered the koi to eavesdrop on the Yonghe Palace, only to find out that it was Concubine Li who caused the trouble.On the third day, Yingchun deliberately didn't avoid it, and after being splashed again on her clothes, she began to pretend to be sick, and ordered Xiuju to go to Ningshou Palace to plead guilty.
It's a pity that Concubine Li ran away from Yingchun. After walking with the Queen Mother, the spectacle of koi pilgrimage never appeared again. The Queen Mother was used to watching the koi dance every day.
However, Concubine Li was her niece, and she was pregnant with a child. For the sake of her grandson, she could only endure the displeasure in her heart.
The emperor went to visit and learned that Yingchun suddenly stopped going to Ningshou Palace, and the one who visited Ningshou every day was replaced by Concubine Li, which made the Empress Dowager depressed.The emperor didn't know that the empress dowager was depressed because of the koi incident, and he said that the empress dowager was not happy to see concubine Li because she was concerned about the orchid being scalded to death. Therefore, the emperor ordered concubine Li to raise her baby quietly.
Concubine Li didn't know what it meant, and said that it was the empress dowager who hated the orchids and secretly hated the Yuanchun sisters, it wasn't these two sluts playing tricks, how could the empress dowager alienate herself.
Concubine Li wanted to cause trouble, and it was not easy to find sisters Yuanchun.In terms of rank, she went to Chengqian Palace to salute Yuanchun first.How could he be willing.
It's not easy for Concubine Li to look for trouble in Yanxi Palace. Yingchun has ears to repay the gods. Once Concubine Li wants to do something wrong and wants to come to Yanxi Palace to deal with Yingchun, Yingchun always hides in Chengqian Palace first. , or simply went to Ningshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace is now a forbidden place for Concubine Li. The emperor said that she is not allowed to go to Ningshou Palace to disturb the Empress Dowager until the baby is born.
At first Concubine Li used her special status to force her way into the Ningshou Palace, but the emperor gave her a severe lesson and warned her that if she continued to mess around, she would be grounded and her monthly meeting would be cancelled, so Concubine Li became quiet.
After doing this, Concubine Li made a foolish move. Regardless of the Queen Mother's objection, she issued a decree to ask for the family.
Concubine Li is now five months pregnant, and her belly is already conceived. The emperor originally disagreed, but the Wu family also repeatedly asked for an order outside, saying that anyone is willing to live in silver to help, and now they have raised more than one million yuan , The start-up capital is already there, and the Wu family's money is not a problem.
Hearing this remark, the emperor took it easy, disregarding the empress dowager's objection, with a wave of the ink pen, let's visit his relatives.
But the time is set for the Shangyuan Festival, don't rely on me if you don't make it in time.
In fact, the Wu family has everything in place, such as wood, bricks and tiles, all have fixed shops to take over, and the big guys are risking their efforts to make a fortune.
Concubine Li's family visit incident caused a big wave in the harem.
Originally, she was still waiting to see Concubine Shu make a move, but Concubine Shu was very cautious. She shrank herself, but instigated her sister Zhou Meiren to come forward to visit her relatives in order to increase the Zhou family's honor.
Concubine Shu also has a good reason. Although Concubine Shu has not been ripped off the green-headed brand, the emperor has not turned on her for a long time. She can't speak in front of the emperor at all. My sister's family repaired the garden to pick me up.
Before, there was Concubine Hui in front of her, and then Concubine Li and Concubine Shu were born in a big way, which made Yuan Chun's heart go crazy.
Because one of the reasons why Yingchun tricked her into calming down at first was to wait and see, and let Concubine Li be the weathervane.
Now Concubine Li is moved, and Yuan Chun is moved.
However, now that Yingchun knew about the emperor's plan to raise pearls and kill meat, she would never let Yuanchun mess up. She had already prepared two reasons to wait for Yuanchun.
First, Yingchun asked Yuanchun to inquire carefully to see what the empress dowager's attitude was after Concubine Li made up her mind to visit her relatives.
Second, Yingchun decided to tell Yuanchun the sad news that Rongning and Ningfu had a fight.
Yuan Chun hurriedly asked what happened.
Yingchun said that because Jia Lian followed her sister's opinion, Shang Zhezi did not agree to pick him up, so Jia Zhen instigated the elders of the whole family to come to the Rongfu and forced them to spend money to build a garden to pick him up.
Of course Jia Lian resolutely refused, and used the words of the Yuanchun sisters to restrain the two masters, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.
Then, Jia Zhen failed to make a plan, and made another plan. He got involved with a gathering of dudes in Kyoto, and recruited Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Baoyu to bomb them collectively.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng wavered, and finally Jia Lian and Baoyu withdrew angrily.
Jia Lian simply saw that visiting relatives was harmful and not beneficial.Baoyu couldn't listen to these people using their sisters for welfare.
Baoyu doesn't agree with the matter of visiting relatives now.
Today, Baoyu studies harder because Yingchun has hung two large carrots on her nose.
The first one, Yingchun sent Baoyu a message, as long as Baoyu earnestly studies and progresses, one day he will become a minister in the study room. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, went to the palace to pay homage during her birthday. At that time, she had the opportunity to meet her sisters.
The second carrot.Yingchun told Baoyu that if he wanted to marry Daiyu, he had to overcome the obstacle of Wang.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Mrs. Wang didn't like Daiyu as a daughter-in-law.However, as long as Baoyu was in high school in the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, preferably the top three in high school, he would try to marry them.
At that time, the Wang family did not dare to object. Daiyu married Baoyu, and she was no longer an orphan girl. She became the young mistress of Rongfu, the wife of a Jinshi, and she had a royal seal, so she could go to the palace to meet her and visit her personally .
At that time, if Baoyu had anything to say, he could just tell Daiyu, and if he had something to say, he could also tell Daiyu to take it back to him. In this way, we could see each other once a month. Wouldn't it be the same as being married outside?
Yingchun finally told Baoyu that whether the sisters in the family are doing well and whether they have face in the in-law's family mainly depends on whether the brothers in the mother's family are capable or not, whether they are up to date.
As a man, if you don't think about making progress, you only focus on living on the rewards of the old lady. If you continue to mess around like that, you will be done for a lifetime, and don't even think about it.
Wanting to marry Daiyu is tantamount to going to the sky, Wang's stopped, and the old lady can't help it, because since ancient times, the parents have decided the marriage, and the old lady can't surpass the parents. Brother Bao, if you don't work hard, just wait to marry Bao sister.
After some careful consideration, Baoyu felt that Yingchun's words were justified, and since then she no longer mentioned the matter of visiting her relatives, and went to study hard every day for her own happiness in life.
However, Yingchun didn't reveal the above-mentioned foolish Baoyu's words to Yuanchun, so he just skipped it and said that Baoyu acted handsomely.
This time, he was forcibly pulled back to attend Jia Zhen's so-called family meeting, but some outsiders who didn't know what to do came, Jia Lian suddenly became angry, and Baoyu walked away with him.
Jia Lian immediately got into a fight with Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen asked the aunt and grandma of the Jia family to ask for relatives, and Jia Lian asked for a division of the clan, and threatened Jia Zhen. .
Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng were so angry that they wanted to beat Jia Lian, but Jia Lian held his head and did not bend down. Then a letter of complaint sued Jia Zhen to Jing Zhaoyin, saying that Jia Zhen disobeyed the old lady and bullied the clan by virtue of her status as the patriarch. Uncle Li and brother.Different ways are not for conspiracy, so he asked to separate from Jia Zhen.
Anyway, I came to Ningguo Mansion to meet Jia Zhen, and I have already given five clothes to Jia Lian.Branches are also reasonable.
Now Jing Zhaoyin has received the pleadings, because Jia Yucun and Jia Zheng have a good relationship, the pleadings are suppressed and there is no trial.
Yuan Chun was stunned when he heard these words: "When did this happen?"
Yingchun said: "It's not complete to reward Sister Feng for visiting relatives. This time the ancestors entered the palace to thank you. Sister Feng told me that because my sister was pregnant, I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would make trouble and it would not be good for An fetal.
Yuan Chun was absent-minded for a while, and said, "So, it's not possible to visit relatives?"
Yingchun said in a low voice: "Sister, think about the attitude of the majesty. At the beginning, when my sister said that she didn't care about your relatives, did the majesty treat you more and more? Now you are going back on your word, what does the emperor think? And the time for visiting relatives is in Shangyuan. It was very cold at that time, Are you sure that the child will not have any problems after such a toss? Think again, you have a son, is there hope in what you want to do in the future? The Queen Mother once followed the Supreme Emperor to Jiangnan for inspections, did she go home secretly? Can you do it in the future?"
Yingchun's drawing of the blueprint touched Yuan Chun's heart, and Yuan Chun's eyes lit up immediately.
Yingchun smiled, and said again: "I think it would be great if the second elder brother can successfully branch off from the Ning Mansion this time. In this way, the second elder brother can become the clan leader of the Rong Mansion, leaving aside the messy things in the Ning Mansion. Sister, you Think about Qin Keqing's death, and think about it again, the Ning Mansion and the Zhongyi Prince's Mansion are now linked to the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, but the Zhongyi County King is the grandson of the emperor who has been trampled down by today, what can he do with the Zhongshun Prince? Good thing? What good thing is there for the Ning Mansion to join forces with them? It's better to separate clans, each is cheaper."
Yuan Chun's face became calm: "Sister, is this what you want me to say?"
Yingchun's forehead: "It's better for my sister to say that she misses the old lady and let the old lady enter the palace to visit relatives. The Empress Dowager thinks that my sister's pregnancy is more frequent. Although she thinks it is more frequent, she will definitely allow it. My sister will divide us into the same family." Having said that, it is best to analyze the general situation, because the old man used to support King Zhongyi, and now he can no longer have old eyes. We are all married to the emperor, and my sister is pregnant. Can it be impossible to help outsiders deal with us? We have to follow The emperor has one heart, the emperor's enemy is our enemy!"
Yuan Chun's face gradually turned red, he pursed his lips into a smile, and stretched out his hand to meet Chun Equinox Ruirui's pretty face in shame: "I don't know how to be ashamed, little girl, have you moved your heart?"
Yingchun said seriously: "No, I just resigned to my fate, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog."
Yuan Chun was so frightened that he covered Yingchun's mouth: "Speak nonsense, how can the emperor be compared to a dog!"
Yingchun laughed, and as soon as Yuanchun let go, Yingchun raised her forehead: "Well, the emperor is not a dog, he is a dog that is in heat everywhere!"
Yuan Chun's eyes turned red: "I know you are arguing for me. I chose this myself. There are 3000 people in the harem Fendai. It has been like this since ancient times. My sister will not say anything."
Yingchun smiled and held Yuanchun's hand: "It's good for my sister to figure it out."
Only then did Yuanchun realize that Yingchun was just persuading himself, so he smiled and scratched Yingchun's nose: "You are a clever little kid, you know everything."
Yingchun suddenly remembered that Yingchun, where she lived, was disliked by Yuanchun, and wrinkled her nose: "How can it be? The sisters in the family recite poems and compose Fu, Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai Sandingjia are doing it alternately. Calligraphy, I had to pretend to play chess, but I couldn't beat Sister Lin in the game, it was useless."
Yuan Chun didn't believe it, Ying Chun was so smart and sensitive, how could she not understand poetry, she thought Ying Chun was self-effacing, and comforted her: "If you seek perfection, you will be ruined, no one is perfect, the harem doesn't need smart people, my sister is just fine like this."
Afterwards, Yuan Chun went to Zhezi to meet again. Jia Mu and Sister Feng came, and Yuan Chun recounted the words of Yingchun according to the scriptures.
Jia's mother originally blamed Jia Lian for splitting the clan, and made a big fuss about it. Jia Zhen's support for the family was also a good intention, but her attitude was tougher, which was also the reason why he was in power when he was young and acted out of loyalty.
When Jia's mother said this, Yuan Chun knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Jia's mother could not accept the division of the clan.
Then he dismissed the crowd, and made a final confession with Jia Mu, saying: "In the past, the ancestors obeyed the arrangement of the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor personally selected the new lord of Jiangshan. What about the county king? The old lady has seen many storms in her life, and she should know that those who betray the master will die. Besides, if the family joins with outsiders now, it will put me to the death of my second sister. The old ancestor still said that Jia Zhen did it for us. How are you sisters?
If the old lady doesn't come to her senses and follows Shenhe, she will tell our children and grandchildren to die together, or the old lady will go back and announce the separation of my second sister and me, or the old lady will go back and let go, and persuade the clan elders to discuss matters and separate the two houses.Whether our sisters live or die depends on the old lady's thoughts. "
Yuan Chun's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he turned his face away.
Jia Mu was dumbfounded by her sudden bombardment. She was stunned for a long time, and tears filled her eyes in an instant: "Yuan girl, are you trying to pick my heart out?"
Yingchun didn't expect Yuanchun to speak so aggressively, and was momentarily stunned.Busy explaining for Yuan Chun: "Don't blame the elder sister, the old lady, every step of the palace is frightening, plotting and scheming everywhere, the elder sister is always worried about it, she is afraid that if she makes a wrong step, it will lead to a catastrophe.
Since the eldest sister was pregnant, she couldn't be favored. Now the emperor only comes once every ten days and a half months, and there are few opportunities to speak.If there is still trouble at home, the old lady thinks about it, the Holy Majesty is most afraid of King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi County, and now they are just hindering the Supreme Emperor and not doing anything.One day when the Supreme Emperor is gone, I don't know what the emperor will do.There is a big one. Since ancient times, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?
Since the shooter shoots the horse first, our family will make a fuss like this, I am afraid that we will be wiped out as a rush, and the prince will be angry, blood will flow like a river, can our family bear the consequences of the emperor's anger? "
"Old lady, you have to think about it and make up your mind, whether it is the second elder brother Bao who kisses you, or the eldest brother Zhen!"
Sister Feng was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
Seeing her dumbfounded, Yingchun gave her a wink and ordered her to join in and fool Jia Mu.
Sister Feng hurriedly interjected: "Old lady, the concubine Xian has a big chest and a big belly. In less than ten days, she summoned us to enter the palace twice. Why? If it wasn't for the emergency, think about it carefully, old lady. Forgive Concubine Xian, pregnant people can't sleep and are impatient, and the empress will always target the old lady because she is worried about the family situation. Apart from blood relatives, who would worry about our family so much."
When Jia's mother heard the words, she wiped her tears from her forehead: "How can I not understand what you say? I can't bear it here either. Zhen'er's mother died early, and she held my hand before she died. And unreliable, now that I kick him away, I can't get over it, I always feel that her mother is watching me."
Yuan Chun's complexion changed, and Ying Chun hurriedly said: "It's not that the old lady doesn't care about him, it's just that letting him mess around like this will also burden us, and we will each have their own jobs. If he is good, the old lady doesn't need to worry. If it’s not good, the old lady will help him once or twice, and no one will say a word, do you think that’s the reason?”
When Yingchun said this, Jia's mother felt more at ease, and said with her forehead: "Since you both mean the same thing, I will take care of it when I go back, but if I want to teach Lian'er to withdraw the pleadings, we will divide the clan by ourselves. It is really hard to go to court. a shame."
Yingchun and Yuanchun looked at each other, felt that this was acceptable, and said: "It's all up to the old lady to decide, the second elder brother will be the head of our branch from now on, so there's no need to live with the old man anymore, old lady I can't afford the duties of the clan wife, and the second wife is sick, so why don't the old lady directly nominate the second elder brother to be the head of the clan, and Sister Feng's everything is in order, so if you keep looking at these things, it's okay to keep them for nothing, what do you think?"
Watching the interaction between the two granddaughters, Mother Jia finally felt that she was getting old, and thought to herself, that's all, now the family will rely on the two granddaughters for support within ten years, because she said with her forehead: "It's up to you."
Received the promise from Jia Mu, Yingchun glanced at Yuanchun, got up and smiled and said: "Old lady, you can sit with the elder sister. After the elder sister is pregnant, she always has doubts in her heart. You have experience, so you can explain it to the elder sister. Sister Feng and I went out for a walk."
Sister Feng also had something to discuss with Yingchun, so she hurriedly smiled: "That's fine, I'll accompany Second Sister for a walk."
For a while, Yingchun and Sister Feng went to the Aiwan Pavilion behind Chengqian Palace, ordered Xiuju to guard the intersection, and sat and talked in the Aiwan Pavilion.Yingchun glanced at Sister Feng: "How about the money in and out of the house now?"
Sister Feng was stunned, not knowing where Yingchun's question came from.
Yingchun smiled: "Chuang Tzu is still making money, right?"
Sister Feng was busy digging out the money: "This is the latest income, the second younger sister will share the dividend, a total of 5000 taels in five months, the empress will keep it, and the palace will be easy to manage."
Yingchun accepted it with a smile: "Tell me the truth, how much did you earn?"
Sister Feng would get the wrong idea and turn her eyes for a moment: "Second sister thinks it's too little? It's just that it's not easy to do business nowadays, labor costs, headcount fees, everywhere, everything needs money, and there are various merchants who make profit, seven or seven Eighty-eight, there is not much left, in the past five months, my sister-in-law and I have earned the title of prince."
Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled secretly, knowing that Sister Feng had set up an ambush, she didn't point it out, and said, "How much is the income from the land in the mansion?"
Sister Feng made a silent calculation: "Well, this year's spring is better than in previous years. Didn't the old man Lai Da get it back by stealing the winery? In the first half of the year, he made a profit of [-] yuan. When he said it, he got angry. This bastard, he used to He only pays us [-] silver a year, and he still talks about it and complains endlessly. The more he thinks about it, the more he gets angry.
This time to expel the Lai family, the old lady asked your second brother to give over 1 silver belongings to Nanny Lai. In the end, that little thief Lai Shangrong still messed with us. Hey, it's hard to say whether he can live or not, this person is so incompetent, he deserves it! "
Yingchun thought of the medicinal materials in her own space. Now she doesn't need money. In the future, when Yuanchun has a baby, what would she think?
It is impossible not to fight in the harem, and it is impossible for me to take the initiative to compete with Yuan Chun for favor. Yingchun will take refuge in the Queen Mother and will not take the initiative to turn against Yuan Chun. As long as Yuan Chun does not turn against himself, then the sisters will work together to live better.
If Yuan Chun's baby is a son, then you have to make some preparations for him. A poor prince will be humble when he goes out. Instead of asking him to make friends with ministers and attract people's attention, it is better to make preparations at home. If you have money in your pocket, you will not panic. ah.
Yingchun said with a smile: "We also have some storefronts. I heard from my second brother that they have been refurbished, and I haven't decided what to do yet.
Sister Feng, do you want to open a crude drug shop or something? There are people in our eastern province who have land, and medicinal materials are produced there. It is very cheap to open a crude drug shop. I heard that Brother Huan is now mixing with Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying to play guns and sticks. How are you? Win him over, be kind to him, from now on you can instruct him to escort the herbs, you just tell Sanyatou, tell her to learn from brother Huan, and when he gets married, you promise her a dowry of [-] silver in the public account. Big sister is just like me, she must be devoted to you.
Sanyatou is a capable person and also has calculations. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will definitely do her best to help you. Don't pay too much attention to power and money yourself. Let Ping'er and Sanyatou help you. Take advantage of your youth and give Er It's important for the elder brother to give birth to a younger brother. Why does elder brother Zhen control the second elder brother in everything? Isn't it because the second elder brother has no son! "
Sister Feng blushed: "Talking about this again!" After a pause, she nodded again: "I know!"
Yingchun asked again: "Sister Feng, do the math. Now that the income and expenditure of the mansion are balanced, how much money is left?"
Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled: "In a good year, at least two or three thousand yuan can be saved. If there is a shortage of harvest, there are wineries and shops, and if you don't do business, you can rent out a few thousand silver and have a tight account. It can also be balanced."
Yingchun smiled and said: "Open another herbal medicine shop, and I will promise you to earn a prince's double salary for a year."
Sister Feng's eyes flickered suddenly: "How can you make so much money? Why is Xue's drugstore going to close?"
Yingchun sneered: "Don't worry about him, when did idiot Xue do something seriously? In this way, you will lose [-] silver a year, and you will still have the bottom line of your ancestral property. There will also be thousands of silver left over there every year, which you can use. Do you still remember what you just said when you resigned? Lai Shangrong just wasn’t satisfied, so he ended up like this.”
Sister Feng frowned, staring at Yingchun with her beautiful eyes, her eyelids twitched after a while: "Second sister, you mean the Lin family's stuff?"
Welcome the spring forehead.
Sister Feng bit her lip: "The Lin family's millions of silver are all in the treasury and have not been moved. Originally, the old lady wanted to use this as a base, borrow some to build a garden, and take the aunts and grandma back to Ning. Now it is no longer needed, and I am also panicking. I can’t bear to throw it away, and use it, but I’m flustered, seeing Sister Lin dangling in front of my eyes every day, I feel uneasy.”
After a pause, he looked at Yingchun: "there are old ladies, elder masters and second masters here. Even if I have my heart, I can't make the decision. At worst, how much I share in the future, I just return it to Sister Lin."
Yingchun also knew that it would not be easy to dig it all out and return it to Lin Daiyu, because she said: "It's good if you have this intention, and it's best to return the other people's money, otherwise, you will not feel at ease for a few lifetimes. There will be more and more, why bother to live with the burden?"
Sister Feng's forehead: "That's very true."
Yingchun sighed: "I know it's not easy for you, and I'm not trying to force you, I'm just telling you a reason, after all, we will be in the palace from now on, and the family will depend on you and the second elder brother now, and a person must act righteously to be rigid. Only in this world can we stand on our feet and stand on our foundation. To let the future generations live a bright and aboveboard life, we must not leave hidden dangers for the children, and let the children be beaten with black guns one day, saying that they are here to avenge their ancestors coming."
Sister Feng smiled: "Don't worry about that."
Yingchun said again: "Has the Xue family moved out? Are they still in Lixiangyuan?"
Sister Feng frowned: "What else can I do?"
Saying this, he sighed: "Nowadays, the mother and daughter of Xue's family spend almost every day in front of their wife to flatter them. Fortunately, Baoyu is working hard in the study every day, and will not go to his wife's room when he is free. I am so worried here. I am afraid that my wife will die one day How can I feel sorry for Uncle Lin by using a way to fool my aunt and grandma with a good decree for marriage. Uncle Lin used to repay our family’s hundreds of thousands of debts. I heard about this matter from my uncle. No one mentioned it. I just felt guilty when I saw Sister Lin."
Yingchun hooked her lips and smiled: "Don't worry about this. Baoyu's performance now shows that the message you brought last time has worked. As long as Baoyu can keep it, I will keep her and give her a marriage."
Yingchun originally planned to persuade Sister Feng to let go, so that Wang can take care of her own life, so as not to hurt Sister Lin's daughter-in-law in the future.Now it seems that once this person wakes up, he is afraid that he will become a monster.Yin asked, "Why is the second wife served by Baochai, and sister-in-law Li Wan, doesn't she care?"
Sister Feng's complexion changed, as if she couldn't speak: "Oh, speaking of sister-in-law, I really don't know how to say it."
Yingchun was taken aback for a moment: "Even though sister-in-law doesn't talk much, she has an old-fashioned temperament and a tight grip on power and wealth. She is indeed very smart. What will happen?"
Yingchun thought, maybe Li Wan would not be able to marry again?This is also understandable, if you are less than 30 years old, in modern times, it is the time of romance, or is it because you are clinging to the uncle in the house?
Yingchun couldn't help thinking of Jia Rui's account. Could it be that someone else has taken a fancy to Li Wan?
What Sister Feng said didn't matter at all, but it made Yingchun blush: "Sister-in-law is now living behind closed doors, saying that she is a widow, so she should not go around. She also said that she is in poor health, and now she doesn't even wear plain clothes. Every day, she is dressed in white, or in black, or in gray, and she doesn’t wear any gold or silver jewelry on her head. The cloth is torn off and she holds a cloth baotou. She also wears black clothes with a black baotou, and white clothes with a white baotou. She looks like a ghost. People will panic when they see her in the daytime! People in the house are afraid of seeing her! Wenches and women are not willing to follow her. When the sky comes to make trouble with me, if I want to change errands, I will die of worry Already!"
