[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Another year is approaching, although there are still two days left before the new year, but the income from various villages has already been sent.Not only the newly purchased Zhuangzi went in and out, but also the first Zhuangzi on the coastal col far to the east.Not only the Ningguo Mansion, but also the Qingronghou Mansion are busy getting things into the treasury.

Although Yuzhou and Qilu encountered major floods this year, and even though the Yellow River embankment was saved dangerously, it was a fact that the harvest was not good.In addition to the meat and seafood, whether it was the nine Zhuangzi in Ningguo Mansion or the eight Zhuangzi in Qingronghou Mansion, they both sent no less than 1 taels of silver in cash.

Of course, this is just a part of the annual closing income of the two companies.

Because of Jia Yan, the two villages established in Gyeonggi, Yuzhou, and Qilu, even if they are smaller, are located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Even if they have just started on the right track this year, the prosperity of the hinterland of the Central Plains is not comparable to other places. There are a large number of them on the market, so this year, rents of 7 and [-] taels of silver were sent to the two families respectively, and there were also precious fabrics such as bird gold fur and tea, fungus, matsutake, and Poria cocos cream. specialty.

When the envoy came to Jia's house, Jia Amnesty was inspecting the fabrics, picking out the best ones, and said: "Although we only set up this farming and weaving workshop this year, it's not like the people in Lin girl's hands." , originally came from Suzhou, even if I have never seen it before, I am more familiar with it than us. But at any rate, these materials are all produced by our family, and not only this year, but also next year, the next year, and every year after that. Your wife does not need to be frugal ..."

As a result, the butler Lin Zhixiao trotted all the way, saying that the Minister of Rites had come.

Jia Amnesty was taken aback.

It’s not that he said, he’s just a dude, even if he was named a marquis because of sweet potato’s merits, deep down, he’s still that dude who came from a family of nobles and nobles, and he knows things like classics and history A general idea is to read it through, and there is no such thing.Therefore, he has never been able to get along with those civil servants.

Jia Amnesty was not like Jia Zheng, who felt that he could call himself a scholar after reading a few books and not even passing the imperial examination.In Jia She's mind, he is a dandy from a lord's noble family, and in the eyes of Qingliu, who is useless and only depends on the blessings of his ancestors. Therefore, the best and most suitable way for him to get along with those Qingliu is to divide the road into two sides, Qingliu The civil servants walked their sunny way, and he, a worthless playboy, walked his single-plank bridge.

Jia Amnesty never thought that one day, the Minister of Rites would come to their Jia family.Even if he was looking for him, it should be Shangshu Hubu who came to him for sweet potatoes or something else?Or people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and even Jingzhao Mansion told him that so-and-so of their Jia family had committed a crime, or that their servants of Jia's family were robbing them outside and forcing them in the name of Qingronghou Mansion. Human life was lost.

Jia Amnesty never thought of the possibility that the Minister of Rites would visit their Jia family.

Even visiting Ningguo Mansion is more likely than visiting their Qingronghou Mansion.Because Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion was the one who passed the Jinshi examination based on his ability.

Jia Amnesty really didn't think that much at the time, but after hearing that the Minister of Rites had arrived, he quickly asked someone to open the door, and then welcomed him in through the main entrance.

In the end, the imperial edict was issued on behalf of the emperor—the emperor had already decided to make Jia Yan the queen.

Jia She, who was kneeling there at that time, opened his mouth in such a stupid way, and did not respond for a long time, and let the Minister of Rites hold the edict for a long time.

Jia Cong, who was still kneeling behind, felt something was wrong, carefully tugged at the hem of Jia She's clothes, and whispered, "Master?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahahahahahaha! I'm going to be the head of the country! I'm the head of the country..."

Jia She looked up to the sky and laughed maniacally, only Fan Jinzhongju could compare with his madness.

The Minister of Rites is also a person who is familiar with these allusions, how can he not know that Jia She is fascinated?Therefore, before everyone in the Jia family could react, they raised their hands and slapped Jia Amnesty hard.

"you!"

Jia Cong couldn't help but glared at the Minister of Rites.

Instead, it was Jia She, who came to his senses after being slapped in the face, and hurriedly bowed to the Minister of Rites to thank him.

"Thank you, Xiangye. If it wasn't for Xiangye, I'm afraid I would embarrass my empress today."

The Minister of Rites hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Where is it, the king is polite. It is good that the king doesn't get annoyed with my profanity. In addition, the specific etiquette for the new queen entering the palace needs to be discussed in detail. Please also ask the king Haihan."

"Where is it, Mr. Xiang is serious. Everything is up to the will."

Jia Amnesty accepted the imperial edict and stayed in the Ministry of Rites to eat, but he didn't stay, so he left.

Jia Amnesty delivered it to the gate in person.

Jia's family became a sea of ​​joy, and the good news soon spread to Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall and Jia Zheng's courtyard. Both Xuan and Xue's small courtyard got the news.

Because the new year is approaching, sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin both moved back. Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue with the plan and account book, and Xue Baoqin helped Xue Baochai.

Although it is said that after taking refuge in Jia Yan, the Xue family will not be exploited by others, you only need to be filial to the Jia family, but the Jia Yun and Yan families who have taken refuge in Jia Yan before have become officials, only the Xue family has only harvested a bunch of money. Zhuangzi, and it was purchased with the Xue family's own money, Aunt Xue felt a little uncomfortable.Aunt Xue has never told anyone about this feeling, even her own son and daughter.Xue Pan is a careless person. He never cares about this kind of settlement. In Xue's house, his only task is to accompany wine, accompany people of various identities to drink, and then pay the bill.

However, for Xue Baochai, who has helped Aunt Xue with her accounts for many years, this year is undoubtedly a good year.In the past, their Xue family had to deal with the two big-mouthed lions of the Wang family and Mrs. Wang, but this year, their Xue family only had to deal with the Jia family.Even if Wang Ziteng is Xue Baochai's uncle and Mrs. Wang is Xue Baochai's aunt, Xue Baochai still wants to say that in terms of asking for money, Jia Amnesty and Jia Yan combined cannot compare to Mrs. Wang alone!

Because there was no Mrs. Wang, nor Wang Ziteng and Wang's family, their Xue family was particularly relaxed this year.Although they bought a lot of villages this year, resulting in a backlog of money, in Xue Baochai's view, at least these fields are under the Xue family's own name, not sent to other people's pockets.

Even if she really knew what Aunt Xue was thinking, Xue Baochai didn't feel that her mother had anything to be unhappy about.After all, their Xue family just mixed with others this year, unlike Jia Yun, who was originally from the Jia family and Jia Yan's nephew, and not like the Yan family, whose daughter gave Jia Lian a concubine.Their Xue family was originally Mrs. Wang's in-laws, and Mrs. Wang plotted against Jia She more than once, saying that she was the aunt of Concubine Shu, but Xue Baochai said that Mrs. Wang's relationship with Jia Yan is not an exaggeration.With such a relationship, why should people treat them like their own clansmen?

Xue Baochai crackled the abacus in his hand, recording it on paper from time to time.At this time, Yinger hurried in from the outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she called out breathlessly: "Madam! Girl! Girl! Big event! Big event!"

Seeing Ying'er who couldn't straighten her waist, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue were a little puzzled, Aunt Xue said: "You girl, what kind of thing can make you so impolite? Do you want others to see it?" Can't it be a joke?"

"Mother, madam, big deal! Ma'am, ma'am..."

When Xue Baochai heard this, she immediately put down the abacus in her hand and said, "What's wrong with your mother? You should speak well."

This is related to the future of their Xue family.

The Xue family invested so much in Jia Yan under Xue Baochai's suggestion, of course Xue Baochai didn't want to lose everything in the end.

Ying'er said loudly: "From today onwards, we will change our name and call us Queen Mother!"

Surprised and delighted, Xue Baochai grabbed Ying'er and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Ying'er said: "Girl, just now the Master of the Ministry of Rites came to read the imperial edict in person, and our empress is the new empress. However, we need to hold a court meeting to discuss whether we should be canonized directly as empress or hold a grand wedding. However, our empress is The new queen, this has been announced to the world."

Xue Baochai was overjoyed.

She immediately stood up: "Mom, we should go to congratulate the old lady and the empress."

Xue Baochai knew that if he hadn't taken refuge in Jia Yan early and had spent a large sum of money, based on the current wealth of their Xue family, they wanted to support the mother of the country?Dreaming is faster.

Jia Yan became the queen, which is a testament to Xue Baochai's vision.

"Girl, the old lady, Master Hou, and Mrs. Hou have already gone to the East Mansion to ask the Elder Jing of the East Mansion to open the ancestral hall."

Xue Baochai said, "Then I'll go into the garden to congratulate my mother."

Aunt Xue next to her had already asked people to bring out the New Year's clothes and jewelry made for Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin's sisters, dressed the two sisters well, and sent them to the garden.

Up to now, Aunt Xue has lost all the little thoughts in her heart.

So what if there is no progress in three to five years?Being able to climb up to the Queen's Empress is the biggest and most successful business of their Xue family.
