Just two days after the Xing family came to Beijing, there were indeed Sister Feng's brother Wang Ren's family, a pair of sons and daughters Xue Bian and Xue Baoqin from Master Xue's family, and Li Wan's aunt brought her two sisters Li Wen and Li Qi. He came to the mansion one after another to greet him.

Wang Xifeng greeted guests every day, arranged banquets, and was really busy for quite a while.When he was finally able to rest, he couldn't help muttering to Jia Lian again, and said: "Thanks to the draft before, I didn't have time to arrange Baoyu and a few girls in the family to live in the garden. Otherwise, I would see so many girls from relatives. The old lady has to ask everyone to live in the garden. At that time, there will be a lot of miscellaneous things, and I will be the only one who is tired."

Jia Lian didn't take it to heart when she heard her complaining, knowing that Jiaji, the second grandmother, was willing to take care of these things, so he casually said: "It's easy for the family not to go in, but just keep the garden empty. It’s a pity too.”

Suddenly, Sister Feng's eyes lit up and she said, "Look at the little garden in Uncle Xing's house, the size of a sesame seed, and he made a few hundred taels of silver by selling flowers. Otherwise, we'd ask someone to raise them in the garden. Flowers, let’s sell them for silver. I don’t think it’s a problem to earn one or two thousand silver a year.”

Jia Lian clicked on Sister Feng and said, "there is no shortage of envoys in the house now, and we have our own private property. Why are you getting more and more stingy? If you really do that, you will have to make people laugh at Rongguo Mansion."

"Whoever thinks that too much money can't make it, why is it petty?" Sister Feng said unconvinced, "Anyway, even if the garden is empty and no one lives there, people have to arrange for people to take care of the flowers and plants inside. Why don't we arrange a few handicrafts alone? I don’t need a lot of gardeners, so I just ask him to cultivate some precious flowers and plants. When the time comes, we will quietly take them out and sell them, which is another big income. Even if we keep them as a dowry for our sister Qiao That's good too."

Jia Lian said helplessly: "If you insist on doing this, you don't have to give our sister Qiao a dowry if you get the silver. You can still afford your own daughter's dowry. I think it's better to put it directly on the public account, or to be independent. Once the account book is done, it will be used as a preparation for the palace. When the sixth prince grows up, there will be plenty of money to spend. In case someone finds out, someone will have to talk."

Sister Feng knew that what Jia Lian said was reasonable, and she agreed in her heart to use the proceeds from the garden to make a separate account book for the palace.So I asked Feng'er to send a message to Jia Yun, telling him to arrange it directly, and telling him not to say anything.

On this day, Rongguo Mansion received news from Baolinghou's Mansion, saying that Baolinghou Shi Nai had relocated as a high-ranking official from another province, and he would leave Beijing with his family members to take up his post in the near future.Because Jiamu was reluctant to part with Xiangyun, she sent someone to her uncle's house and said that she would keep Xiangyun in Beijing to accompany her.

Xiangyun's aunt is very willing in her heart, and it's okay to raise a niece whose parents are dead, it's better than those concubines who are more pleasing to the eye.But who told her master to inherit his father's title? She usually treats this niece very lightly, and she is afraid that if something is wrong, someone will say something unpleasant.This is not as soon as I heard that the old aunt was going to take it over and raise it, so I quickly agreed.Xiangyun knew that she was going to live in Rongguo Mansion permanently, and it was a place she was used to living in since she was a child. Not only did she not have to sit around all day to learn the rules, but she also had Baoyu Tanchun and Xichun to play with her, so she immediately liked it I happily agreed.On the same day, he came to Rongguo Mansion with salutes, personal attendants, and a foster nun.

Xiangyun is a lively person, and Mother Jia also really likes her.He directly told her to stay with Tanchun Xichun in his yard and live in the house where Yingchun lived before entering the palace.

Baoyu has moved out of Rongqing Hall since the incident of attacking people, and has her own yard.But on weekdays, I often hang out with Jia Mu.It's not that since Xiangyun came here, except for studying and sleeping at school, the rest of the time was spent with Jiamu, making jokes with Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Xichun.If by chance Jia Min brought Daiyu, and Aunt Xue brought Baochai and Baoqin to greet Jiamu, he would pester Jiamu even more so he would not even go to school and just follow these sisters. have fun together.

Jia Min shook his head, but every time he mentioned it to his mother, the old lady said: "It's a family of flesh and blood, and it's all children's family. There are so many things. Besides, Baoyu is still young." Well, people are born weak and weak, so it will be fine when they are two years older." Jia Min couldn't do it, so he had to try not to bring Daiyu over.Even if they come, the maids and mothers will surround them tightly, and resolutely don't ask Baoyu to come to her daughter.

After all, Baoyu was Jia Min's nephew, and he sighed to Lin Ruhai several times that he might not be thinking about the imperial examination, and the second brother's family might still be counting on Lang Geer.Lin Ruhai had a good impression of Rongguo Mansion because of Jia Lian's delivery of medicine before, so he thought about it and said: "My nephew is still a bit spiritual in reading, maybe he is still young, and his ambition is not here. What's more, he is in There is quite a bit of literary talent in poetry, if you cultivate it well, even if you are not as good as a poet, you can become a master of poetry in the future." Jia Min took it to heart when he heard this, and mentioned it to his mother and second sister-in-law. Take a bite.But Mrs. Jia Muwang didn't take it to heart, and only looked forward to Baoyu's great fortune in the future.Seeing that my mother and second sister-in-law have such an attitude, and my second brother has always been pedantic, it doesn't make sense, so I have to.

Let's just say that apart from being busy with things in the mansion and palace recently, Sister Feng is often invited by Aunt Xue to help Xue's mansion.Because although Master Xue used half a repair pill to prolong his life for a few years, the illnesses on his body were not cured after all.I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear it when the time comes, which will delay the marriage of my children.Therefore, thinking that she could still support herself, she urged Aunt Xue to tell her to hurry up the marriage between Xue Pan and Baochai.

The Xue family now has another Xue Baoqin who is going to Beijing to marry, and this one married two married Sanzhuang marriages, and the marriages have all been rushed together. Aunt Xue really couldn't do it alone, so she invited Sister Feng over and asked her to help manage it together. .

No matter how it changes, Sister Feng is still the hot girl who loves to seize power and show off her talents.So when Aunt Xue called out, she was willing in her heart.After asking the old lady and the eldest lady for instructions, she went to Xue's house to help every now and then.

After busying around, Xue Pan's six marriage ceremonies have passed the acceptance, name asking, Najib, and request period, and he is waiting for the day to go to the general's mansion to welcome his relatives.Yes, now that Xue Pan's father-in-law has been promoted to the third-rank general, the Xue family attaches more importance to this marriage.

When it came time to put on makeup, Sister Feng brought Brother Wei to put Xue Pan in bed.As soon as I entered the main hall of Xue's house, I saw that from the Qiangongbabu bed to the children's and grandchildren's bucket, there was a lot of huanghuali furniture placed there, which was very eye-catching.Except for those odds and ends for daily use, there are more than 20 boxes of four-season clothes, bedding, and fur fabrics.There are also two boxes of precious medicinal materials, two boxes of gold, silver, emerald jade, pearl and gem headgear, two boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, and two boxes of playware ornaments.

There is a full 5 taels of silver in the box, which is the amount of the dowry gift given by Xue's family, but no one knows whether the bride's natal family has given extra money to the private house.

In addition, the general also married his daughter a house and two shops in central Beijing, two villas in the suburbs of Beijing, and two large villas in the north where the general was guarding the border.You must know that there are 20 yuan of adobe for these four farms alone.This means that there are twenty hectares of land for the dowry alone, which means that the general married a daughter and gave away a total of two thousand mu of land.Even though the north is sparsely populated and the land is cheap, these two villages of more than 1000 mu are quite remarkable.You must know that although the north is a place of bitter cold and the fields do not produce much, there are not only precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler, but also such precious furs as mink, deer, wolf, and tiger.

This dowry is a total of one hundred and eight lifts, which is quite worthy of a ten-mile red makeup.These people who came to watch the fun couldn't help sighing that this is the family of generals who made their fortune from their ancestors, thinking that they didn't miss those spoils on the battlefield back then.He also thought that the Xue family was born in an imperial merchant, and they were already wealthy, so marrying a daughter-in-law now is also a solid foundation.Thinking about it, the descendants of two or three generations will be rich and not worry about it.

Not to mention the soreness in the hearts of these spectators, even Xu Li's eyes became hot.In ancient times, being able to marry a good daughter-in-law was simply a shortcut to making a fortune.

Thinking back to Nian Gengyao, who was the most popular during the Yongzheng period, his daughter married to Duke Yan of Qufu.In order to marry his daughter as a dowry, he bought farms everywhere, with a total of [-] hectares and zero. 'The General Nian Gengyao Nian only gave his daughter [-] mu of land. Is it really okay for this third-rank general to marry his daughter to accompany her with [-] mu of land?

Xu Li hurriedly asked the system to check the situation of the general's family.It turned out that the general's surname was Sun, and his ancestors also started with military exploits, and his family made great military exploits.But since the ancestors, most of the nephews in the family died in battle.When it came to his great-grandfather's generation, only his great-grandfather was left alone, and the family was afraid that the incense would be cut off, so they never dared to ask him to go to the battlefield again.His great-grandfather gave birth to two sons, and the grandfather named General Sun was the youngest son in the family, so he naturally took half of the family property and left the house.The family title was inherited by his elder brother.

This grandson's family may have killed too many ancestors, resulting in a lack of offspring.The great-uncle of General Sun Shen had only one son after he became a prince, and then the son had only one grandson, and then the grandson had only one only son.It has been handed down for several generations, and now only the nephew of the uncle's grandfather has inherited a last title.When Xu Li saw that the nephew of the Xijue family was named Sun Shaozu, she couldn't help but silently lit a candle for Xue Pan and mourned for two seconds.
