Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Not long after Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, several waves of eunuchs came to the house, all of them were very arrogant, and when they asked for money, each of them was darker than the other, and it was like a lion gaping.

Jia Lian's heart fell to the bottom, and now he believed Ming Xi's words [-]%.

After Wang Xifeng gave birth to a child, she closed the door and devoted herself to raising the child, and Mingxi never touched the housekeeper.

Mrs. Wang was almost dying of worry about money. She told Mother Jia several times that she had enough energy to be a housekeeper, and she wanted Wang Xifeng to help.

Jia's mother can't do anything about it, now Wang Xifeng is as slippery as a loach, and when she mentions the housekeeper, she says the child is young.

And Ming Xi was protecting her, she couldn't say anything.Besides, whoever cares about this family is the same to her. The second family wants to take advantage of it, but doesn't want to work hard. How can there be such a cheap thing?

The old lady was about to hit her. Since Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang has been a little drifting. She simply let go. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was dying, but there was nothing she could do.

She wanted to get Ming Xi, but Ming Xi said: "Let me be the housekeeper. I have the final say on how to manage this family. Also, I don't recognize the bad debts from the past. I have to open the warehouse and deal with all the bills." once."

Madam Wang dare?Don't say she didn't dare, even Jia's mother didn't dare.Ming Xi's temper is right there, no matter what she is at home, she can still make people turn their backs.If she were to be the housekeeper, there would be no peace in this mansion.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, father and son, began to transfer their family property out little by little like ants moving house.

At this time, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to report on his duties.Before he returned to Beijing, Housekeeper Lin had renovated the old house of the Lin family. After he came back, he took Lin Daiyu home.

Lin Ruhai wanted to continue, but he couldn't decide on the candidate.Later, he saw that Lin Daiyu's housekeeper was also very good-looking, so he put aside the sequel.

Lin Daiyu met Lin Ruhai's father and daughter, and Lin Daiyu had endless words to him.What Mingxi said to her also imitated Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was particularly grateful to Mingxi, and specially prepared a generous gift to thank her.

Jia Amnesty's relationship with Lin Ruhai, his brother-in-law, was pretty good, so he handed over half of his private house to Lin Ruhai for safekeeping, in case something happened, it was a way out.

Although Lin Daiyu returned to the Lin family, the old lady was also her grandmother, and she would come back to visit Jiamu every now and then, and even stay for a few days.

Mother Jia was a little unwilling to give up, and always wanted to stay Lin Daiyu for a few more days, and wanted to bring her and Baoyu together.

The old lady's idea is good, but she has a pig teammate Wang who is holding her back.Every time Lin Daiyu was fooled by the old lady and felt that Baoyu was actually okay, Wang would jump out and do something to wipe out that little goodwill.

Baoyu is not very helpful, although he loves Daiyu, but he is born with the kind of temperament that pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.He couldn't help but want to cherish the maid who can act like a baby, not to mention the Xiangyun who called him love brother and the bright and generous Baochai.

After Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, the status of the Wang family in Jia's mansion rose, and even the old lady had to give up three points.Except for a bastard like Ming Xi who dared to attack unceremoniously, everyone else was afraid of her.

When Wang saw Mingxi, she had a headache. After Wang Xifeng gave birth to her son, she disappeared. Wang Ziteng loved her niece even more, and became more and more indifferent to her as a younger sister.

He clearly knew that Yuan Chun could gain a firm foothold in the palace because of the support of the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Zhen. As his uncle, he did not support his own niece, but instead voted for the new emperor.

If Mingxi knew what she was thinking, he could spray her to death.Stupid, how many years can the Supreme Emperor live?Who doesn't know that Emperor Yong, the new emperor, has a small mind and loves to hold grudges, if you please the Supreme Emperor and offend him, that old birthday star is really tired of hanging himself!

To say that Wang Ziteng was able to successfully switch to Emperor Yong's sect and escaped catastrophe, he had to rely on Ming Xi's blessing.In the past few years, she has been tinkering with dispensing medicines according to medical books.

Rong Hui, the eldest son of Emperor Yong, was poisoned, and the imperial physicians were helpless. When his life was in danger, Wang Ziteng brought the medicine and medical books into the palace.

Seeing that Rong Hui was about to die, Emperor Yong's dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and someone poured medicine into it.

Half an hour later, he vomited a few mouthfuls of black blood, and most of the poison was cured.The imperial physician prescribed the medicine according to the medical book, and within seven days, all his poison was cured.

Emperor Yong was overjoyed, and Wang Ziteng took the opportunity to show his loyalty and handed over his military power. Emperor Yong, who was weak and unable to compete with the Supreme Emperor, was overjoyed.

Since then, Prince Teng became Emperor Yong's right-hand man. The Supreme Emperor thought that Prince Teng was his confidant, and he was very supportive of Emperor Yong's reuse of Prince Teng.

Under Wang Ziteng's planning, Emperor Yong held more and more military power, and the Supreme Emperor was almost emptied by him.

Wang Ziteng got the benefits, and he reciprocated the favor and supported Jia Lian, although this was not what Jia Lian wanted.

He just wanted to be a son-in-law until he died, but now he was sneaked into the barracks by the prince Tengti, and he had to practice all day long, exhausting himself to death.If he wasn't afraid of being beaten by Mingxi when he fled back, he would have given up his pick a long time ago.

The Xue family said that they went to Beijing for the draft, but they didn't pass the primary election.Since then, the family of three has been living in Lixiangyuan, and never mentioned the matter of moving out.

Xue Pan hangs out with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong of the Xifu all day long, and Xue Baochai acts like a hostess in Baoyu's courtyard, which makes Jia's mother displeased, but Mrs. Wang supports her, and she has nothing to do.

After Emperor Yong came to the throne, the treasury was empty, and he had been trying to weaken the power of these old noble families.

Mingxi offered soap and glass prescriptions through Wang Ziteng's hands.Emperor Yong summoned skilled craftsmen from the House of Internal Affairs and opened two workshops in Huangzhuang.The soap soap and glass produced were soon in short supply, adding a lot to the treasury and his private treasury.

He was also thinking about letting the ladies in the palace go back to their natal homes to visit their relatives. To visit relatives, they had to repair their gardens. He would like to see which of these honorable nobles was most willing to spend money on garden repairs.

Everyone owed money to the treasury and refused to pay back, saying that they had no money and were unable to pay back the money owed to the treasury, but they were able to repair the garden, and he would take care of it slowly in the future.

The news that the palace lady was going to visit her relatives reached the Jia family, and Mrs. Wang hurried to the Rongqing Hall to discuss with the old lady.

Her thoughts coincided with those of the old lady. This family-bestowing garden must be repaired, and it must be repaired well, so that the empress cannot lose her status in front of other people.

Jia Zheng naturally agreed. He is not in charge of the family and does not know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. In his opinion, it is just a garden, how much can he spend?

The old lady asked the eldest family to call over to discuss the matter of repairing the provincial garden.

No matter what she and Mrs. Wang talked about, no one in the big room expressed their opinion, and they all looked at Mingxi.

The old lady sighed and said to Mingxi: "Master, what do you think about this?"

Mingxi glanced at her: "What ideas can I have? If you want to fix it, you can fix it. The family is under the care of younger siblings. If you need to spend money to open the warehouse in the office, that's fine."

The old lady coughed twice: "Where did you get the money from the public? Usually you can't make ends meet, you don't know..."

Mingxi stopped her: "If the old lady doesn't tell us, we really don't know what it means to make ends meet? Our father-in-law has six or seven big estates, which add up to thousands of dollars. This year's income is at least fifty or sixty thousand taels. right?

There are also those few shops, which are all prosperous shops in good locations, and they cost tens of thousands of taels this year.Even counting as little as possible, there is always 10 taels a year, and there are only so many people in the house, no matter how much you spend, you won't be able to make ends meet? "

When Wang heard this, she became anxious: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that Zhuangzi's income has not been as good as every year in the past few years, and there are still shops, and some even lose money..."

Mingxi directly retorted: "The weather has been good these few years, and the crops are not in short supply. How can it be worse than the next year? The income is not good, either the servants below are not caring, or someone is greedy for income. Such a farmer Don't change it, and keep it for the New Year?

Check, must check to the end!Some time ago, some people said that there are some slaves in our family, and their lives were more nourishing than those of the masters.Living in a large mansion with three or four entrances, the family has many servants...

Sir, you are a nobleman in this family, do you think these servants who are greedy for the master's family should be punished? "

Jia She immediately agreed: "Yes, Madam, don't worry, none of these slavish slaves can escape."

Mother Jia paused angrily on her crutches: "Isn't it a joke to mobilize people like this?"

Mingxi snorted: "It's a joke to be fooled by a group of slaves? Old lady, don't you have something to hide? It is said that the reason why you rely heavily on Nanny Lai is because of old housekeeper Lai...

These words are really ugly. If you protect his family again, maybe what people will say about it? "

Mingxi's words almost made Mrs. Shi angry to death, she turned her head and left: "You can do whatever you like, I won't be annoying as an old woman."

Mingxi glanced at Jia She and Jia Lian: "This matter has to be done by the elders, our family's property can't be cheap for those slaves."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian directly confiscated the houses of the Jia family's big managers and big bosses.What was copied made the jerky Jiamu and Wang shut up.

Only 10,000+ taels of silver and banknotes were copied, and there were dozens of land properties and houses, and countless others.

Only a small part of the money was handed over to Gongzhong, and most of it went into Mingxi's pocket.Wang only knew that she had copied a lot of belongings, but she didn't know how many.

After the servants in the mansion cleaned up, Mrs. Wang began to ask each house to use money to repair the provincial garden.

Mother Jia asked Jia She to take the money, and Jia She pushed the matter on Ming Xi in a very bachelor way: "The big house is the housekeeper of the wife, the old lady, you have to discuss it with her."

The old lady looked at Ming Xi who was sitting there calmly and drinking tea, and persuaded her earnestly: "Your Majesty is well in the palace, it's a blessing in our house, at this time..."

Mingxi put down the teacup: "I don't understand what the old lady said. You mean that the empress's situation in the palace is not very good, right? Then what are we going to do?"

Wang Shi said reservedly: "Of course your empress is very good in the palace, and she is the only one who is favored. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't blabberingly seal the word "virtuous..."

Ming Xi smiled: "Since it's very good, what does it matter if we don't build the family garden? Could it be that if the garden is not built, the emperor will neglect the empress?"

Mrs. Wang was anxious when she heard this: "All other houses are repairing, but we are the only ones who don't. Isn't it a joke for people to see your mother? This garden must be repaired."

Mingxi spread his hands: "Then you can fix it. I don't disagree. You can do as many things as you have in the public. Anyway, I'm leaving the words here, and our eldest family has never touched a concubine. He wants us to pay for it, so we don’t need to talk about it.”

Mrs. Wang was about to go mad with anger: "In the past, the empress's rewards were not less than half of you."

Mingxi sneered: "You are ashamed to say that little reward. If you want it, you can pay it back. Since you said so, let's talk about it. How much money was paid?

How did our first house take advantage of her?The Grand Master is the one who inherits the title. The □□Xi Tang is your second bedroom, and you are in charge of the house.What Jiu Zhan Magpie's Nest is talking about is your second wife, old lady, this partiality is too much, it is not a sign of family prosperity...

Even if your second wife is backed by a virtuous concubine, my first wife is not afraid of you.At the feet of this majestic emperor, is there still no place to reason?Even if I sue it in front of the emperor and queen, I dare to accompany it to the end! "

Mingxi was not in a hurry, and the words he spoke in a slow voice were like knives, and every sentence pierced the chests of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang.

Jia's mother was afraid that Mingxi would really make a fuss regardless of his care.I had to give up the idea of ​​letting Dafang pay the money.

She took out 10 taels, the second room gave 20 taels, plus 10 taels from Gongzhong, and Mrs. Wang borrowed another 10 taels from the Xue family.

She also sent someone to the Lin family to borrow money. Lin Ruhai couldn't save face, so she lent 5 taels, and she scolded her for being stingy.

Not only did Ming Xi not pay, but she also made a fortune when building the Grand View Garden.This garden needs all kinds of stone materials. She bought a mountain directly in the suburbs of Beijing earlier.

It was very cheap when I bought it, but no matter how expensive it is now, people are rushing to buy it.There are also good wood and other materials, which were transported from Jiangnan by Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was so grateful to Mingxi, it was for helping with all his heart.Mingxi earned nearly one million taels just from these concubines repairing gardens.Of course, the money was too hot to hold, so she didn't keep a cent and offered it to Emperor Yong through Wang Ziteng's hand.

Emperor Yong sighed: "This lady of the Jia family is really a wonderful woman. I will definitely meet this lady who does not give up to others when I have the opportunity in the future."

Wang Ziteng smiled bitterly: "This madam is really amazing, Jia Enhou and his son were beaten all over the yard by her. Don't be afraid of your emperor's jokes, my niece is good enough, she behaves like a cat in front of her.

Even Chen felt pressured when talking to her, and the old lady of the Jia family had nothing to do with her.Don't look too impatient when she speaks, but every word she speaks is like a knife..."

Emperor Yong was amused by his words: "Then I should meet you..."

Not long after, Concubine Xiande sent someone to invite, saying that she missed her family in the palace and wanted to see her grandmother, eldest aunt and mother.

Mingxi directly refused: "My lady misses her family, it's fine for the old lady and younger siblings to go, what am I going to do with the eldest aunt in the next room?"

As a result, the eunuch said that it was the queen's will.Mingxi glanced at him, the eunuch was quite arrogant towards the rest of the Jia family, but he treated Mingxi well.

Ming Xi figured it was because she had donated 100 million taels of silver, so he changed into the clothes he was going out in, and followed him into the palace.
