The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Speaking of Jia Lian, he took his daughter-in-law to take up the post, and they walked on the water for more than three months before arriving in Guangzhou. The two got off the boat and settled down in the post station. On the second day, Jia Lian ordered someone to send a greeting card It was in the name of the son-in-law of the Yan family.

The Zhang family has almost no contact with the Yan family. Mrs. Zhang frowned when she saw the greeting card, and sent someone to ask Zhang Junhao. When Zhang Junhao heard about the Yan family, his first reaction was that there was no contact. After a while, he remembered. Isn't the son-in-law of the Yan family Jia Lian?He knew from his son's letter that Jia Lian had married Yan Xueshi's daughter.

Zhang Junhao thought to himself, isn't this Jia Lian working in Beijing?How did you come here so far?Order someone to reply and let Jia Lian come home tomorrow.

Zhang Junhao looked at Jia Lian's and Jia Amnesty's similar peach blossom eyes, and he felt angry. He asked Jia Lian why he came to Guangdong, and when he heard Jia Lian said that he came to take up the post, and he came to be the county magistrate.

When he opened his mouth, he said sarcastically: "Others are officials who are getting bigger and bigger, why are you doing the opposite? A sixth-rank official in Beijing is actually a seventh-rank magistrate when he is released? It's still such a place." Could it be that Jia Lian made a big mistake in Beijing? Zhang Junhao I can only guess like this, after all, Jia Lian's father-in-law is a second-rank official.

Jia Lian recounted what had happened in Beijing, and Zhang Junhao asked, "The east mansion of the Jia family repaid Ku Yin, so your west mansion didn't owe Ku Yin?" A few years ago, I told you about the repayment of treasury silver at home.

"Your father has finally done something serious. The old lady of your family said that she was from the Hou family, and her knowledge is not as good as that of a village woman." Zhang Junhao criticized the old lady of the Jia family, but he was not polite.Jia Lian knew that his uncle had a lot of opinions on the Jia family, so he kept his head down and listened obediently.

"You came to take office, but your father brought you some money?" Zhang Junhao asked. Zhang Junhao had seen the greed of the Jia family back then. He was afraid that his sister's dowry would go into other people's pockets, so he directly took the dowry back. .

"Before I left, my father gave me 5 taels of silver." Jia Lian had been in office for three years, and Jia Amnesty gave him 3 taels of silver for these three years, and gave him another 2 taels for daily travel. Li, in fact, when Jia Lian left Beijing, he not only brought 5 taels of silver, but also a lot of specialties in Beijing, planning to give them away in the future.

Zhang Junhao was silent for a while, then changed the subject and asked: "Didn't you bring your wife to take office together? Why didn't you bring your wife to the house?" He seemed to have figured it out, and then said: "Today I won't keep you Yes, tomorrow you will take your daughter-in-law to see your aunt."

The next day, Jia Lian took Yan Peining to see his aunt. The aunt warmly received them, told them about Jia Lian's biological mother's life, and told Jia Lian and others about Zhang Junhao's worry about Jia Lian all these years.After these words, the relationship between the uncle and nephew was abruptly brought closer.

Since Jia Lian came to take up the post, he didn't stay in Guangdong for a few days. Zhang Junhao found Jia Lian a master of money and food, and sent several guards. In addition, Scholar Yan arranged for him a master of punishment to ensure Jia Lian's safety in office. .

When Jia Lian left, he went to his uncle's house to say goodbye. His aunt took out a box, gave it to Jia Lian, and said, "Your uncle was afraid that your mother's dowry would be swallowed up by others. When you grow up, you won't get a point, so you took your mother's dowry away." When you come back, leave it to me to manage, and now that you have grown up, we will return your mother's things to you."

"However, after all, there are many people who know what happened back then. I discussed with your uncle and converted your mother's dowry into silver and gave it to you, so as not to cause any trouble." Mrs. Zhang gave Jia Lian the box, which contained 20 The Zhang family did not treat Jia Lian badly for the ten thousand taels of silver bill, but added a lot of silver to it.As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Junhao is not short of money.

Jia Lian took the opportunity to escape and escaped the muddy water in central Beijing, but Lin Ruhai, who was the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, was not so lucky. He was in the middle of this, and he could not avoid participating in it.

Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the country. Taxes in Jiangnan account for one-third of the treasury's revenue, and salt tax is the most important thing. In recent years, the princes have grown older and have extended their hands to Jiangnan, resulting in a huge tax revenue in Jiangnan. Only then did the Holy Majesty send his confidant Lin Ruhai to take up the post.

Lin Ruhai lived up to his trust and acted falsely. During his term of office, the salt tax in Jiangnan continued to increase, but this was far from enough. In the past few years, Lin Ruhai has been secretly investigating evidence of Jiangnan officials colluding with salt merchants to smuggle salt. It's the critical time.

Unexpectedly, the youngest son was poisoned by an undercover agent sent by the salt merchant. He was discovered late and was not rescued. With the death of the youngest son, Jia Min lost his energy and his health deteriorated. In just two months, he was exhausted, and begged Lin Ruhai to send his daughter to Beijing when he was about to die.

In the past few years, there have been news from the middle of the capital that scandals in her natal family have continued. Jia Min also knows that it is not a good choice to hand Daiyu to her mother, but she can only choose this way to keep the remaining trace of blood. As for her mother The mentioned marriage, she could not agree to it no matter what, the status is too bad, the reputation of the second brother's family is not good, not to mention Jia Baoyu's mother Wang is such a poisonous woman, she has no face to propose in front of the master. to this matter.

Jia's mother first received the news of her grandson's death. Unexpectedly, just two months later, she received the news of her daughter's death again. Miner.Xing Yue couldn't stand it anymore, why didn't she see how much the old lady loved Jia Min, according to Xing Yue, part of the old lady's sadness was really sad for her daughter, most of it was worried that Lin Ruhai would marry again in the future, and she would lose He married the son-in-law of a third-rank official.

The aunt has gone, and the family must send a master there. Now that Jia Lian is going to Guangdong to take up his post, it is estimated that he has just arrived in Guangzhou.

Xing Yue packed up Jia She's luggage, and specially invited Imperial Physician Liu, who had retired from the imperial hospital, to go to the south of the Yangtze River together, and also sent a cook who was good at conditioning to follow. After all, this time the old lady specially ordered Jia She to bring Lin Daiyu to Beijing. In the movie, the old lady said it well, saying that Lin Ruhai, a big man, has to work as a errand, how can he have the time and energy to take care of his daughter, besides, Lin Daiyu is already seven years old, and she needs a female elder to teach her.

Lin Daiyu was born prematurely and her body was weak. They all knew that she had just lost her mother, and the journey was far away, so if there was an accident on the way, how would they explain to the uncle and the old lady?Jia She is getting older, so he should pay more attention along the way, right?

This time the old lady sent the old lady Lai to follow Jia She to pick them up. Xing Yue always felt that the purpose of the old lady was not so simple, so she ordered the old lady who followed them to pay more attention to them. After all, there was still a seven-year-old Lin family. The old concubine Lin Xin is still alive.

When Jia Min planned to get rid of Lin Xin according to his mother's wishes, there was news that the Wang family had done too many bad things and retribution was on Jia Zhu. After so many years, Jia Min had such a precious son. Afraid of retribution to his son, he didn't kill him, but just adopted a stocking attitude towards that bastard.

Lin Ruhai looked at his brother-in-law who was kind and kind, so he felt relieved to hand over his son and daughter to him.After Jia Min's coffin was sent back to Suzhou for burial, Jia Amnesty returned to Beijing with his two children.

Nanny Lai and the others did not find a chance to do anything in the Lin Mansion. On the way back, they found an opportunity to do something to Lin Xin. They fed the child unclean food, vomiting and diarrhea. Zhou might die. Fortunately, all of this was seen by Xing Yue who ran over to monitor Nanny Lai. They discovered it in time. After the diagnosis and treatment by Liu Taiyi and the meticulous care of the mother-in-law, Lin Xin was relieved and reported to the police. Jia Amnesty, next, Madam Lai and his party were assigned to take care of Lin Daiyu, and they never had a chance to get close to Lin Xin.The group arrived in the capital safely.

Early in the morning, Xing Yue sent someone to pick up Jia She and his party at the pier. It was almost noon before the party entered the mansion. Xing Yue noticed that when the old lady heard that the Lin family had arrived, her eyes darkened, and she felt a little bit more in her heart. be vigilant.

Xing Yue looked at the brothers and sisters of the Lin family who walked in together. Both of them were wearing plain clothes, their faces were pale and their bodies were weak, but they were all good-looking. Xing Yue didn't see that Lin Daiyu was as good as the one described in the book .

The two came in to say hello to the old lady. Xing Yue found that the bastard Lin Xin was obviously not well-behaved, and he also disdained Jia Min in his heart. As expected, like a mother, there must be a daughter, but Jia Min was not cruel enough to get rid of this bastard. Ruthless, only the concubine is left.

When the old lady saw Lin Daiyu, she hugged Lin Daiyu and cried, saying: "The one I love the most is your mother, but she has gone, my poor Yu'er, she lost her mother at such a young age" and so on. Yes, Lin Daiyu's tears were drawn out, and Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu hugged each other and cried, leaving Lin Xin standing there awkwardly, at a loss, Xing Yue looked pitiful, and persuaded them to stop tears.

At this time, the old lady introduced the two of them one by one. Today, when Lin Daiyu came, Xing Yue asked people to bring Yingchun and Jia Cong over to meet her cousins.Lin Daiyu listened to Jia's mother's introduction and compared it with what her mother told her. Why did it look different from what her mother told her?

Now that Mrs. Wang has been imprisoned in the ancestral hall, Jia Baoyu has not been sent by her to the temple to fulfill her vow, and is waiting for the arrival of Lin Daiyu's brother and sister at the old lady's place.

When the old lady introduced Baoyu, she was obviously smiling. Jia Baoyu was spoiled by the old lady, and she was still wearing bright red clothes today, and the maidservants around her were also dressed in fancy clothes, which formed a clear contrast with Dafang's family who were all in plain clothes.Xing Yue can take care of the maids of the first room, but not the maids of the second room, right?Besides, the old lady didn't say anything, so she pretended she didn't see it.

Jia Baoyu has always been afraid of Xing Yue, the eldest aunt, perhaps because Xing Yue has no intention of getting close to him. Even though the old lady has repeatedly issued a gag order, but with Mrs. Liu behind to fuel the flames, Jia Baoyu still knows a little about what his mother does. of.Now Xing Yue is here, looking at him frowning, so the family dare not be presumptuous, and respectfully salute the brothers and sisters of the Lin family.

"Old lady, this is what my brother-in-law asked his son to bring back to honor you. In addition, my brother-in-law gave my son 5000 taels of silver, saying that it was for the expenses of the two children in Beijing." Jia Amnesty asked someone to carry the box in and said.

"Lin's son-in-law is too much. Yu'er is my direct granddaughter. Can our house afford the expenses without her granddaughter?" The old lady didn't mention the concubine of the Lin family at all. After hearing this, Jia She said, Embarrassed, the mother became more and more confused, how could she say this in front of the child?

"My son also said the same thing. How can our family shorten the expenses of two children, but my brother-in-law insisted. I can't refuse, so I can only accept it." Jia She said.

"Then enter the public account, Yu'er, new brother, if you need anything, you can go directly to your eldest aunt. Now, your eldest aunt is in charge of the house." The old lady said with a smile.

"New brother, Yu'er, if you need anything in the future, or if your slaves are not dedicated, you all tell your aunt, old lady, it's already noon, and the children are probably hungry too, why don't you have dinner?" Xing Yue came forward to call Looking at the Circus, today Xing Yue specially asked the big kitchen to cook light and easy-to-digest vegetarian dishes. Now the two children and the master have been eating on the boat for a month or two. Xing Yue blocked the dish of big fish and meat without any scruples.

While eating, I saw Baoyu pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with the food. The old lady saw the food on the table and said nothing else. She planned to ask the small kitchen to make something suitable for Baoyu after the brothers and sisters of the Lin family divorced. .

After the meal, seeing that the two children were sleepy, Xing Yue said: "Old lady, I see that the two children are exhausted from the journey. They are sleepy. I will take them to rest. Daiyu and Yingchun live in the same yard. Brother Xin lives in the same yard as Brother Cong, they are about the same age and can play together." Xing Yue had already made arrangements.

The old lady wanted to leave Lin Daiyu in her own courtyard and have a romantic relationship with Baoyu, but there is still a brother from the Lin family, who seems to have no rules, and maybe she will spoil her Baoyu. Think, simply give up, there will be opportunities in the future.

Xing Yue returned to her courtyard with a bunch of steamed buns, and put the children in the courtyard to rest. She was really tired, and after a while, all the children fell asleep.Only then did Xing Yue lead people to arrange the things of the two children, and asked them to send over the cloth and fur that had been prepared earlier, and asked the maid and mother-in-law to make thick clothes for the two children. Now in October, it will be soon It's winter, the winter in the capital is not like the winter in Yangzhou

much colder.

After returning, he found that Jia Amnesty had not returned to his own courtyard, but fell asleep in her place.She came in with such a big commotion, but she didn't wake up in a daze, and she seemed to be tired.
