Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

When Emperor Jingchang said that he wanted to build cement roads, all the ministers naturally agreed, but when he heard that Emperor Jingchang said that the construction should be done around the capital first, he didn't show it on the surface, but he began to think carefully.

The benefits of cement roads were right in front of them, and they naturally hoped to have the cement roads repaired as soon as possible in the areas they were in charge of, so their eyes focused on Xichun.

It's not difficult to get some cement ash and a few people who know how to repair cement roads from Jia's princess, right?

Xichun immediately received a bunch of invitations, such as burning incense, worshiping Buddha, admiring flowers and listening to opera, Xichun put them all aside, and asked Lichun, "Is there any movement at Lai's house?"

Li Chun put away the pile of invitations, "Yes, Nanny Lai is trying to meet you. Her little grandson who became an official was promoted to Zhizhou last year, and now he is thinking of ways to build cement roads in the territory."

Xichun nodded, "Hang her first."

Lichun understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess."

Back then, Xichun focused on the Lai family, or Jia's mother, after Jia Zhen's incident.

Xichun couldn't figure it out, what did Mrs. Jiang do in the first place to make Mrs. Jia kill Mrs. Jiang?And that talisman from back then, obviously he was unwilling to let it go even after he died, which shows the hatred and fear towards Jiang.

Xichun first asked someone to check on Jia's mother, but Jia's mother did not leak water, so Xichun had no choice but to start with the Lai family. After a careful inspection, she found that Lai's mother was Jia's confidant, and the rest were just normal errands. , and looking at the attitudes of Jia Mu and Lai Nai towards each other, it seems more like mutual trust and mutual defense.

Xichun thought of a possibility that Nanny Lai had done something shady for Grandma Jia, and Grandma Lai was afraid that Grandma Lai would leak the secret and wanted to kill her, and Nanny Lai was also afraid that she would be killed by Grandma Jia, so she took that matter Threatening Jia's mother finally formed this situation.

Xichun sighed, take your time, you will always get revenge.

When winter was about to enter, three major events happened.

One is that Yingchun's fiancé took the imperial examination this year as a guarantor, but someone cheated, and Yingchun's fiancé was implicated and imprisoned. Before the Jia family rescued him, that person committed suicide in prison to prove his innocence.

The second was Lin Zhiyuan's high school exploration, and Lin Ruhai officially made a marriage for him and Lin Daiyu. Because of the past events that were revealed, many censors were impeached. It was decreed to restore Lin Zhiyuan's ancestral surname - Gu, and take Lin's surname and change his name to Gu Lin.Gu Lin also didn't enter the Imperial Academy, and was sent directly to Jiangnan as a small county magistrate. He took office immediately, and the Lin family went back all the way.

The third is that Jia Mu suddenly proposed to live with Jia She, and Jia She brought him back, but the first thing Jia Mu did after returning was to ask Jia She to help the little grandson of the Lai family.

This was Xichun's handwriting. In order to repair the concrete road as soon as possible, the little grandson of the Lai family sought out contacts. Xichun hung up on the Lai family for a while and then refused.

The little grandson of the Lai family already held a grudge for being rejected by Xichun. He saw a businessman selling cement ash and after checking the authenticity, he took the government's money to buy it and began to repair the cement road.

There was a lot of cement ash in the hands of the businessman, and the grandson of the Lai family bought the remaining cement road ash to build the road after seeing the benefits of the cement road that had been repaired.

When the concrete roads in the territory began to show results, the grandson of the Lai family began to write notes to ask for credit. Your Majesty, look, how is my order executed?Are you satisfied?Your Majesty, this concrete road is just fine!All the people here kowtowed to thank the emperor, saying that if it weren't for you, they wouldn't have such a good life. Now they have to kowtow to you in the direction of the capital every day to thank you before doing anything.

Emperor Jingchang was very happy to be praised, but the ministers on the side came out to ask questions.

According to the Lai family's grandson's excerpt, it is planned to build all the main official roads in the territory into concrete roads, and a construction schedule is attached.

But now there is little cement ash in the country, and we are all focusing on major official road repairs in various places. How did he get so much cement ash to build roads?

Emperor Jingchang thought for a moment that this was true, so he asked someone to ask the little grandson of the Lai family.

The grandson of the Lai family also directly said that he bought it from a businessman, and the imperial envoy asked where the businessman was?The little grandson of the Lai family sent someone to look for him, but the businessman disappeared!Ask others, everyone says there is no such person!

The little grandson of the Lai family hurriedly asked someone to investigate, and finally someone found it, but that person was not a businessman, but a palace man who was in charge of supplying cement ash to the surrounding continents!According to the people in the palace, the little grandson of the Lai family took money to bribe him and asked him to give all the cement ash to the little grandson of the Lai family. All the cement ash was given.

The little grandson of the Lai family was dumbfounded immediately, and the imperial envoy was also dumbfounded after hearing this, and the way he looked at the little grandson of the Lai family changed, good guy, no one has the guts!

As soon as the imperial envoy reported it, the officials in the surrounding places became angry. You took away the cement ash from our places, so what should we do?

The little grandson of the Lai family immediately got into trouble, and all kinds of impeachment papers were presented to Emperor Jingchang like snowflakes. Emperor Jingchang looked at it, and then asked the little grandson of the Lai family's achievements in the past few years. After the questioning, the person was sent to prison.

Nanny Lai was in a hurry, first she asked for help, but no one was willing to help, Nanny Lai had no choice but to find Mother Jia.

After Xichun knew about it, she wanted to take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the two, and then took the opportunity to find out the matter, but within a few days, Jia Jing took over these matters, and Xichun was not allowed to intervene.

Xichun went to look for Jia Jing, Jia Jing looked at her and smiled, "Let father do these things."

Xichun disagreed, "Father's body can no longer bother him, these daughters can do it too."

Jia Jing said: "Let father do it, this is the only thing father can do for your mother."

Xichun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said yes, I will find Jia Yi when I go out and tell them to pay attention to Jia Jing's situation.

Jia Yi and the others naturally nodded, and Xichun went to find Yingchun again.

Yingchun was still surprised to see her here, "Why do you have time to visit me recently?"

Xichun sat down beside her, "Father has taken over, so I don't have to worry about it."

Yingchun nodded, "However, you are really courageous, dare to pull your majesty to do it together."

Xichun smiled, "Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with that little grandson of the Lai family. He has no merit or virtue, but because of those nobles behind him, he was promoted all the way to Zhizhou, and he has won a lot of money for Prince Zhongshun over the years. It is me If you don't do it again, His Majesty will do it too."

Yingchun sighed: "However, His Majesty is really tolerant of you."

Xichun nodded, "But it's only this time, and I can't act like this again in the future."

Xichun said again: "But having said that, I really don't understand why His Majesty has been so tolerant to me these days."

Yingchun turned the book in his hand to another page, "We guess what His Majesty is thinking so clearly? It's true to manage yourself well."

Xichun chuckled, "I thought Second Sister would be sad this time, so I brought several handkerchiefs here."

Yingchun glanced at her, "What's so sad? To say something heartless, once born, second time familiar."

Yingchun was so indifferent, but Xichun didn't know what to say, and finally sat quietly by the side to accompany Yingchun.

Yingchun read the book for a while, then closed the book and threw it aside, "Okay, I'm not used to seeing you so quiet, let's go, let's go out for a stroll."

Xichun smiled and said yes, Yingchun asked the carriage to be harnessed, and the two went out to shop and shop, and finally bought a lot of things.

Xichun's feet started to ache, seeing Yingchun who looked excited and wanted to visit a few more stores, she begged for mercy, let Yingchun rest for a while before leaving.

Yingchun gave her a funny look, "I thought you were capable, but you're tired after a while, that's fine, let's find a restaurant nearby and sit down, just in time for something to eat."

Xichun naturally agreed, and the two found a restaurant and asked for a private room. While they were eating, they heard a discussion about the young ladies of the Jia family in the lobby below.

"Do you think this Miss Jia's fate is wrong? If a widow and a fiancé are killed, there will be no good ones?"

"Miss Jia's fate is not good? So what about being a widow? Didn't she become the princess of the county and the concubine of the county? She is so majestic! A person who eats gold and swallows jade all his life, even a hairpin on his head is worth more than you!"

"That's right! Miss Jia's family doesn't have to worry about getting married! Don't look at people's dowry, it's enough to support you for a lifetime!"

"Why am I worthless? Besides, no matter how nice Miss Jia's family is! I don't care too much! Be careful and enjoy life!"

"You, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. Miss Jia still thinks highly of you! It's not rare! Do you have the chance to be rare?!"

"Yes, I don't have a chance, but you have a chance! Your family is also a well-known wealthy family in the capital, go ask Miss Jia to marry me! Let me see if you dare!"

"Why don't you dare?! If I can really marry Miss Jia, it will be my blessing!"

"Okay! Let's all testify! You go! It happens that the second lady of the Jia family is missing!"

"... If you tell me to go, I will go? Cooperate with me and listen to you in everything?"

"Ha! I'm not afraid anymore!"

There was a burst of laughter in the lobby, "I'm really scared!"

Xichun's face darkened, and she immediately winked at Lichun. Lichun understood, and walked towards the door, but was stopped by Yingchun again, "Okay, what's the point of arguing about these things? After a while, they will stop talking when they lose interest." .”

Xichun didn't want to ignore it, "These people are idle all day long and don't do their business, but their tongues are longer than anyone else's. If they don't give them a long memory, they might arrange things indiscriminately!" After speaking, let Lichun go out.

The shopkeeper below also knew that the two young ladies of Jia's family were upstairs, and when they heard these words, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask them not to say anything, but this group of people were in high spirits, and they couldn't listen to them, so they started talking again one by one.

This said that Miss Jia's fate is noble, but it's a pity that her husband's fate is not good. It's okay if the man's fate can suppress the woman's, but if he can't, he will die sooner or later!

That one also nodded and said yes, isn't that the case with Miss Jia's family?Who in the world can have a more noble fate than His Majesty?You can see that other people don't have such a good fate, they either die in battle or commit suicide.

A group of people listened and nodded, and then someone asked, Miss Jia, the second lady and the fourth lady are all there, what about the third lady?

Another person laughed and said, Miss Jia's third lady was kicked out of Jia's house. Many people in the capital saw her and left the capital with injuries. She didn't know where she went or if she was still alive.

Someone patted the table and said, I remembered when you said that, but I reckoned that he was dead. At that time, the second master of the Jiajiaxi Mansion drove them out of the mansion without giving them anything. This is another orphan and widow It's hurt again, tsk tsk.

If someone laughs, it's good to die, so as not to harm another good man!

Everyone laughed again, the shopkeeper was already sweating from anxiety, but this group of people still ignored them, and they talked about the second miss of the Jia family, saying that now they don't know who will be so unlucky to become the second miss of the Jia family. A husband.

Li Chun was also very angry when he heard it, he walked to the stairs and stood still, just as he opened his mouth, he saw a mess below, it turned out that a man appeared out of nowhere and punched all the people who had spoken before!
