[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Jia Yan wanted to entertain the female family members of Jia's family, so it was impossible to invite only Jia's mothers from the West Mansion. Even Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Youshi in Ningguo Mansion were also invited--although Qin Keqing is beautiful, Jia Rong is also young and vigorous. At that time, because of Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen's old affairs, I felt uncomfortable, so I just left this young, beautiful and noble wife at home, and took some family members to go to other places to go to work on my own.

Qin Keqing was wronged by herself, so she didn't dare to argue.But after all, she has passed the bright road in front of the emperor. Although the royal ultimatum does not have her name on it, and she has not officially recognized her publicly, she has acquiesced in her existence, and she does not have to hide like she did in the past. Hidden and secretive.Therefore, when Jia Zhen came to court her again, she would be able to beat Jia Zhen down with confidence - this has nothing to do with Jia Jing being at home now.

Therefore, Qin Keqing is now more confident than before. On the surface, she still looks gentle and gentle, but inside she is different.Not only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law need to take care of the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion, but even the Qingronghou Mansion also needs her help from time to time.

When Jia Yan entertained his family members here, it was naturally impossible for Youshi Qin Keqing and his wife and mother-in-law to be sidelined. Therefore, on this day, Youshi and Qin Keqing both came here early, and first reported to Jiamu, and then Jiamu led them. , to the Grand View Garden.

Mude Hall was also ready early.

In Jiamu's Rongqing hall, because Aunt Xue and Li Wan's widowed aunt Mrs. Li are guests, these two sit on top of Mrs. Xing on Jiamu's side.

But Jia Yan's here is the royal palace, so everything is naturally in accordance with the palace rules.

That is to say, people are seated according to their grades, those with grades sit at the front, those with no grades or the youngest are served at the bottom: Jia Yan naturally sits in the middle seat, and Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, You The three of them are high-ranking Mrs. Madam Chiming. Naturally, there is a seat for each person. They sit on Jia Yan's left and right hands in turn, and then it is the turn of Mrs. Li and Aunt Xue. They are guests but they are all white. , fight for a seat, and sit at the head of Mrs. Xing.

Then it was the girls' turn, and they were seated for two, followed by Tanchun and Xichun, Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen and Li Qi, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, and then Jiahui and Jiaru, because they were the youngest, another seat.

Li Wan and Qin Keqing, one is a widow and the other is a junior, both serve in the underground.

Mrs. Xing relied on being Jia Yan's mother, so she was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the venison sent by Long Live is enough for your Majesty to use alone, and she specially distributed it to us. Isn't it enough for your Majesty?"

Jia Yan laughed and said, "Where did the mother say that? If it weren't for the deer hunted by Long Live, why would the daughter need to send it to the old lady and mother? It is because it is the deer hunted by Long Live, so it is distributed to the old lady and mother. , and let all the sisters in the family get a lot of money. If you just want to eat venison, why don’t mother ask sister-in-law Zhen, our West Mansion is the same as the East Mansion, when will we be short of these things?”

Hearing this, Youshi stood up quickly, and when Jia Yan finished speaking, he was about to go to the middle and kneel down, but Jia Yan finally stopped him, so he used the gold hairpin on his temples instead of two kowtows, and after the ceremony, he said: "It's me. Inconsiderate, I forgot to report back to my wife. Our two mansions are on the east side of the Shanaohaiyanzi. In addition to money, we have to send rents in summer and autumn, especially when the New Year is approaching, every year. Send thirty big deer, fifty roe deer, fifty roe deer, twenty soup pigs, twenty dragon pigs, twenty wild boars, twenty domesticated pigs, twenty wild sheep, and twenty green sheep 500 family soup sheep, [-] family style sheep, [-] sturgeon fish, [-] catties of miscellaneous fish, [-] live chickens, [-] ducks and geese, [-] chickens, [-] ducks and geese, [-] pairs of pheasants and rabbits, [-] pairs of bear paws, [-] catties of deer tendons, [-] catties of sea cucumbers, [-] pieces of deer tongues, [-] pieces of beef tongues, [-] catties of dried leeches, [-] bags each of hazel, pine, peaches and apricots. Fifty pairs of large prawns, [-] catties of dried shrimps, [-] catties of high-grade silver frost charcoal, [-] catties of medium charcoal, [-] catties of charcoal, [-] stones of royal rouge rice, [-] catties of green glutinous rice, [-] catties of white glutinous rice Fifty dendrobiums, fifty dendrobiums with powder stems, fifty dendrobiums of variegated grains each, one thousand shi of regular rice, one thousand catties of dried vegetables of various colors, and takeaway grains and livestock for silver. In good times, it is about five or six. Thousands of silver, when times are bad, only about [-] taels of silver. There are also two pairs of live deer, four pairs of live white rabbits, four pairs of live black rabbits, and two pairs of live golden pheasants for the girls and masters at home to play with. , two pairs of Western ducks."

Mrs. You knew Madam Xing's temperament, so instead of letting Madam Xing question her for a while, causing Madam Xing to lose face and implicate Jia Yan, it would be better for her to pretend to be dull, taking care of Madam Xing's dignity and empress's face.

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhen, this should be your case in the East Mansion, right?"

"Returning to your mother's words," You said, "There are nine Zhuangzi in our mansion, and eight Zhuangzi in this mansion. The hero fields of the two mansions are all on the edge of the mountain and sea. In terms of prospects, they are almost the same."

As she spoke, she paused, and emphasized again: "It's all me. I was careless for a while, and I even forgot to report to my wife."

Qin Keqing hurried out of the queue, knelt in the middle, kowtowed, and said: "It's not our grandma's fault when I go back to your mother. It's because I thought that these people would not leave until the end of October. The weather this year is extraordinarily cold, and the roads are slippery. It’s not easy to go, I’m afraid I’ll be able to arrive when the ancestor worship is approaching. So I didn’t report back to my wife and grandma in time.”

Although the blood is noble, since she married into the Jia family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.Since Youshi is Qin Keqing's mother-in-law, Youshi can't be wrong. Even if Youshi is wrong, it is Qin Keqing's fault as a daughter-in-law, and has nothing to do with her mother-in-law.

Therefore, whenever this time comes, Qin Keqing will definitely carry it down immediately.

Before Qin Keqing's identity was exposed, she was unanimously loved by the Jia family, Ning Rong and the second family, which was naturally inseparable from her behavior.

If Wang Xifeng had half of her, how could he be in such a state?

Jia Yan said, "Huh? Hasn't this year's autumn grain harvested yet?"

Qin Keqing kowtowed again, and replied: "Go back to your mother's words, yes. Even in the good old year, you will not arrive until December. If the road is not easy, maybe it will be delayed until the New Year's Eve to worship the ancestors." to be able to arrive.”

Jia Yan said: "So that's the case. Before, my father sent people to send a lot of game such as venison and roe deer, as well as livestock and poultry. I thought that our family's autumn rent had already been collected."

Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Going back to your mother, what you are talking about is the Zhuangzi bought by the Hou's mansion later. Because these Zhuangzi are either in the capital or close to the big city. If you count the silver you get from selling the animals, they are richer than the hero Tian. It’s better. Plus it’s further south than Gongchen Tian, ​​so it’s much cheaper.”

Not only the current West Mansion, but also the Qingronghou Mansion has newly built many Zhuangzi, and their East Mansion is the same.It's just that these Zhuangzi are still new and the production is simple, so this autumn rent is not as complete as the hero farms that have been operated for two or three generations in the two mansions.

These new Zhuangzi only pay silver money as rent, and there is no other filial piety for livestock.

Jia Yan thought for a while and said, "It really is."

After a pause, he laughed at himself: "I thought I could boast about playing with those mulberry crops, but now I have heard the filial piety from my family's hero Tian every year, so I realize that I am just a frog at the bottom of a well."

Jia Yan said this is not self-effacing.

Look at the list of things reported by You Shi just now, which one is simple?It can be seen that the people on this land have already started compound breeding and ecological breeding. In contrast, the villages she Yang Jiashe ran are only good enough to spend money to brush up | political | achievements.

Qin Keqing smiled apologetically, and said, "Where does your lady come from? If it wasn't for your ladyship, who would have thought of raising tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese with less than a hundred acres of farmland, and who would have thought of using these chickens, ducks and geese to prevent and control diseases?" locust……"

Qin Keqing wanted to say more, but Jia Yan had already stretched out her hand, signaling her not to continue.

The world of Dream of Red Mansions is a world with a highly developed civilization and culture. Any time-traveling woman who is in her era, if she is in this world, how much confidence can she compete with the people here in terms of food culture?

And this farm, the farm.

Rather than saying that he is advanced, it is better to say that the two consecutive years of locust plagues have made Jia Yan perfect.

It looks like it's time for her to make a change.

At least in the matter of farming and mulberry, especially this breeding workshop, needs to be changed.

Seeing that Jia Yan seemed to have something on her mind, Mother Jia hurriedly stood up and performed the hairpin ceremony. After the ceremony, she said, "Your Majesty has something on her mind? Do you need help from home?"

Jia Yan narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "No, I'll ask my father for an explanation later. Some things that need to bother the family and the clan, I still need to discuss it with my father first."

Mother Jia originally wanted to intercede for Jia Zheng, saying that Jia Zheng could also help Jia Yan, but Jia Yan directly said that she would speak to Jia Amnesty first, and Mother Jia could only suppress her thoughts.

Among other things, Jia Amnesty was originally Jia Yan's father, and it was an outside matter. Jia Yan had to discuss it with his father first, no matter from the perspective of etiquette or other aspects, it was not wrong.

It's just that Jia's mother is not reconciled.

But what if you are not reconciled?

In the original book, Jia’s family respects Jia’s mother, Mrs. Xing can’t speak in front of Jia’s mother, and Wang Xifeng doesn’t agree with the big house, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, or even her husband, so in the original book, Jia She can only look at Jia Zheng. The house is booming.

But now this is the royal palace, Jia Yan is the imperial concubine, she is the biggest, even if Jia's mother wants to speak for Jia Zheng, it depends on whether Jia Yan listens or not.

Just as Jia's mother favored Jia Zheng, the youngest son, Jia Yan also favored his father, thinking about his father in every way.

Mother Jia can say Jia Yan, can't she?

Of course not.

Just like in the original book, Mrs. Jia Shexing can't even complain about Jia Mu's partiality in private, because she is Jia She's mother. Jia She follows her as filial piety, and Jia Mu has filial piety as a basis; Yan is the emperor, and there is a difference between the emperor and his ministers, and Jia's mother can't say that Jia Yan is wrong.

The people present would not help Jia Mu to speak for Jia Zheng and make Jia Yan unhappy. Jia Mu had to leave and laugh with Jia Yan.

When she was young, Qin Keqing came over with a list of plays and asked Jia Yan to order plays.If it were You Shi who changed, Jia Yan would have to give a little face, because now Jia Jing, the patriarch of the Jia clan, has no wife and is a widower, and You Shi is acting as the patriarch's wife because she is Jia Jing's daughter-in-law.As for Qin Keqing, she was originally a junior.

Therefore, Jia Yan just glanced at it briefly, and then dropped it: "I don't like to watch this. If the sisters like it, they can go to the old lady's side later, or go to your mansion. You can see it. In this garden , forget it.”

You Shi said: "Your Majesty doesn't like this?"

Jia Yan said: "I'm still living in this garden. Fewer things, less right and wrong."

When You Shi heard about it, she immediately knew that Jia Yan didn't like foreign men entering the garden and harming her reputation, so she pleaded guilty again and again.

Qin Keqing immediately asked Baozhu, the girl beside her, to go outside to spread the word, so that all the opera singers would disperse, so they don't have to come in to serve.
