Yingchun is a little lucky girl [Red Mansion]

Since the transfer order of the Ministry of Officials will come down soon, the Jinshi who is engaged to Jia Yuanchun will soon go out to be an official.Therefore, Jia Yuanchun's marriage must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and it cannot continue to be delayed.

The emperor bestowed a marriage, even if it dragged on, it was impossible for the two to dissolve the engagement.You still have to prepare for marriage early, don't be anxious when the time comes, you will not be ready on the contrary.

Rong Guofu's married daughter must not be too shabby. The process of the should be gone, and the gifts that the other party should give should also be given, not too shabby.The Jinshi's family had a lot of money, and he was willing to spend it when he gave the dowry, so he didn't lose Jia Yuanchun's face.

Jia Yuanchun was just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, even if she was a legitimate daughter, the dowry gift should not be excessive.

When Mrs. Wang saw those betrothal gifts, she couldn't help feeling that they were few, and so did Jia Yuanchun.

In Wang Xifeng's view, the betrothal gift given by the Jinshi's family is not too small. The identities of both parties are placed there, so it is not good to give too many things, and there must be certain specifications and cannot be exceeded.

Wang Xifeng took out 2000 taels of silver notes from the office to Mrs. Wang to buy Jia Yuanchun's dowry. Mrs. Wang thought it was too little and thought Wang Xifeng should give more.

"Auntie thinks it's too little." Wang Xifeng came to Rongqingtang and gave it to Mrs. Wang in front of Mrs. Jia. Seeing that the other party was not very happy, she said again, "I don't have much money anymore. I heard that the family still owes you money." There are so many people in the house, so it’s time to plan carefully. This dowry money is also given by other people’s houses. The other houses have 1000 taels of silver, which is 1000 taels more. Forget about going to the palace first, let’s not talk about it.”

Wang Xifeng deliberately didn't say the whole thing, she believed that Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang would understand.Who knows if there is any money left over for Jia Yuanchun's relationship with the palace.Jia Yuanchun brought a lot of money into the palace, and all the money was wasted.

The money was all spent by Erfang, even if Erfang said that Jia Yuanchun entered the palace for the Rongguo Mansion.But they all knew that if Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, it would be more beneficial to the second wife, and most of what Jia Yuanchun spent was money from the public.

This mansion was inherited by the Dafang, and there is not much difference between Hua Gong's money and Hua Dafang's money.

Wang Xifeng has already given Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun a lot of face. It stands to reason that with Jia Yuanchun's status, he doesn't have so much money to buy a dowry. 2000 taels is quite a lot, and those ordinary people may spend a few taels a year.

"Sister Yuan doesn't have any money left in the palace." Mrs. Wang still had to say in front of Mrs. Jia that it was impossible for her to take out the remaining money, and Jia Yuanchun didn't give her much.She suspected that Jia Yuanchun had kept some, and if her daughter kept some, she would keep some, and she couldn't force her daughter to take it out, "Maybe it's because I didn't bring enough."

"Okay, let's use the 2000 taels of silver to buy her a dowry." Mrs. Jia said, she had no dowry or anything for the idea of ​​sending Jia Yuanchun to the palace.But now, if Jia Yuanchun wants to get married, of course it is indispensable.

It's just that although Wang Xifeng is also from the Wang family, but Wang Xifeng is the daughter-in-law of the big house, so she can't be too partial to Jia Yuanchun.According to Wang Xifeng, Bie’s is 1000 taels of silver, while Jia Yuanchun’s is 2000 taels.

Mrs. Jia thought that Wang Xifeng was giving the second house too much face.Jia Yuanchun did bring a lot of money into the palace, and even took a lot from the public.As for the money owed by the government to the state treasury, Mrs. Jia has never thought about this issue. Now that Wang Xifeng mentions it, she always feels uneasy.

There are quite a few families in the capital who owe money to the state treasury, but none of them have paid back the money.At this time, of course, you can't be the first to pay back the money, but you also have to consider if the royal family asks you to pay back the money, will their mansion be able to survive?

Jia Yuanchun went to the palace for more than half a year and spent several 10 taels of silver. I don't know how Jia Yuanchun spent it.At that time, Mrs. Jia only thought that if Jia Yuanchun could become a concubine, it would be worth it, so she gave more, and then people sent some more one after another.

The reason why Jia Yuanchun spent so much money at once was mainly because those concubines made things difficult for her, and the difficulty increased, so the money spent was naturally more.However, after others receive the money, they only care about the moment and don't care about the future, so they have to give money again and again.

Later, after Jia Yuanchun found that giving money was not so useful, he no longer wanted to give it.She also found that if she didn't give money, those people's attitudes were even worse, so she gritted her teeth and gave money again.

Because Jia Yuanchun herself is a rich lady who stays in the boudoir and doesn't have much concept of money.This also caused Jia Yuanchun to be very generous in his actions, and those people in the palace were still laughing at Jia Yuanchun behind his back, saying that she treated her as a master to reward the palace people.

In fact, even those concubines did not give money to the palace like Jia Yuanchun. If they gave so much at once, how could they give so much money, and the family couldn't stand it.Because they are not concubines for one or two years, but for many years, it is impossible to do that all the time.

"No one has paid back the money owed by the treasury." Mrs. Wang still had to say something.

"That's true, but it's hard to guarantee that the other family has already prepared the money. If the royal family asks for debts, they will be able to pay it back immediately." Wang Xifeng said, "If you pay it back at the beginning, you can make a good start and look good. Pay it back later. Yes, then the leftovers, you can’t get anything.”

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes. Her uncle Wang Ziteng didn't tell her about this.But what Jia Yingchun mentioned before, Wang Xifeng thought it made sense, the royal family couldn't let them owe money to the treasury all the time.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the money was lent to them by the former emperor, not the current majesty.

His Majesty did not ask them for money in the early years, probably because the time was not ripe enough, what if the time is ripe?

Wang Xifeng thought that if others owed her so much money, she would find a way to get it back, and it was impossible for those people not to pay it back.As for those who have no face, with so much money, how important is face.

Instead of waiting for the time to be in a hurry, it is better to prepare in advance, and you can advance or retreat when the time comes.

Mrs. Jia glanced at Wang Xifeng, thinking that the girls of the Wang family didn't read much and didn't understand these things.I didn't expect that Wang Xifeng's mind was quite flexible. Of course, maybe it wasn't Wang Xifeng's own thought, but someone else mentioned her.

Is it Anyuan Duke's Mansion? Mrs. Jia thought, if it was said by the Anyuan Duke's mansion, then they should really prepare the money.

But when Mrs. Jia thought of the money Jia Yuanchun had spent in the palace, she felt pain in her flesh, and nothing was lost. Just this marriage, if Jia Yuanchun didn't enter the palace, they could help Jia Yuanchun find a good marriage. .

What happened this time was not only a matter of spending so much money, but also lost many informants.

Mrs. Jia once again looked at Mrs. Wang, it's better not to pay Jia Yuanchun so much money for a dowry.The second daughter-in-law said that Jia Yuanchun had no money left, but Mrs. Jia didn't think so, she probably had some money left, but she didn't plan to hand it over to the palace.

This is how people grow up, they all have selfishness, and they are not willing to hand over what they have.If it was Mrs. Jia herself, she would not be willing to hand it over.

"You can figure it out." Mrs. Jia turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng, "You are the one who owns this house. From now on, this mansion will also be yours."

When Mrs. Wang heard Mrs. Jia say that, she could only listen with a smile.

After leaving Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang cooled down, "You are really good at attacking my aunt so soon. Sister Yuan treated you kindly before."

"Isn't this giving her 2000 taels of silver to buy a dowry? Another thousand, and ours two thousand." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, no matter whether Mrs. Wang is cold-faced or not, she is not afraid, "If you think it's too much, you don't have to." .”

It was impossible for Wang Xifeng to give any more money, and this was also done in front of Mrs. Jia.

"You're still so eloquent." Mrs. Wang was displeased, Wang Xifeng had long been out of her control, and she couldn't go back to her mother's house to blame Wang Xifeng.Mrs. Wang just knew that people outside didn't give so much money, and she used to give us usury for fear of making her brother dissatisfied.

Her elder brother is not so easy to fool, he knows a lot.If she goes to talk, the elder brother will only satisfy her.

Wang Xifeng is Jia Lian's wife, and Jia Lian is valued by Anyuan's mansion. Mrs. Wang knows that it is impossible for Wang Ziteng to offend Anyuan's mansion because of her.

It's really pissing off, why did Princess Yong'an fall into the Zhang family, and even became Jia Amnesty's concubine.If there were no such things, wouldn't Wang Xifeng still have to listen to her as an aunt, and Jia Yuanchun could also become a concubine.

"I can't be eloquent at all, I'm afraid my words won't sound good, and my aunt will be unhappy." Wang Xifeng said.

"" Mrs. Wang is very unhappy now.

When Mrs. Xing learned that Wang Xifeng took 2000 taels of silver from the public to buy Jia Yuanchun a dowry, she still felt that Wang Xifeng had given a lot.When Mrs. Xing married into the Rongguo Mansion back then, she didn't have so much money to buy a dowry. She just brought the dowry from the Rongguo Mansion, and some dowry collected by the family.

At that time, the Xing family was in decline, and they didn't have much money.But because Mrs. Xing married the Rongguo Mansion, they still took out the only money in the family to buy a dowry for Mrs. Xing.

"Missy, it's Missy's, if you want to marry, you will be rich." Mrs. Fei brought pastries into Mrs. Xing's room, "I asked them to cook some chicken soup for you, but Zhou Rui's family can't do anything there. .”

Aunt Fei and Zhou Rui's family have always been at odds. After Wang Xifeng took charge of Zhongfu, she wanted to find an opportunity to say something about Zhou Rui's family.Aunt Fei is Mrs. Xing's companion, and Mrs. Xing basically doesn't care about those things, so she can't go directly to Wang Xifeng and say these things in front of Mrs. Xing.

Of course Mrs. Xing doesn't like Mrs. Wang, nor does she like Zhou Rui's family.Hearing Mrs. Fei say such a thing, she was naturally upset.

"These cakes are a bit cold." Mrs. Fei said again, "Miss over there won't eat them."

"Let's put it aside." Mrs. Xing heard that Jia Yuanchun didn't eat it, so she wasn't in the mood to eat these pastries either.

In the past, Mrs. Wang was still in charge of Zhongfu, and Mrs. Xing would not say much, because she couldn't say anything more.But now Wang Xifeng is in charge of Zhongfei, Mrs. Xing is Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, so she can say a few more words.

At night, Wang Xifeng was called over by Mrs. Xing, and heard Mrs. Xing talk about what happened in the kitchen.

"It's because the servants are ignorant." Of course, Wang Xifeng couldn't say that Mrs. Xing was wrong, nor could she say that Mrs. Xing couldn't drink chicken soup. In the final analysis, it was the fault of the subordinates.

As for Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng didn't want to say much, so she could only talk about the people in the kitchen.

Even if Jia Yuanchun wants to eat, it can't be like this.Even if Jia Yuanchun is about to get married, then Jia Yuanchun is still a junior, since he is a junior, he must look like a junior.

But because Jia Yuanchun was going to get married, Wang Xifeng wouldn't talk too much. Next, if Jia Yuanchun wanted to eat, he would go to the kitchen with his qin in his arms, so it was Zhou Rui's family.This shows that there are other problems here, and Wang Xifeng did not blindly believe Mrs. Xing's words.

The words of Mrs. Fei next to Mrs. Xing were not so reliable. Mrs. Xing was unlikely to go to the kitchen. If she did, how would Zhou Rui's family dare to say those words.Even if Zhou Rui's family looked down on Mrs. Xing, they had to do a good job in the face, so that no one could catch them.

"Since you have become the family, you have to take good care of it." Mrs. Xing said, she can't talk about Mrs. Wang, she can always talk about Wang Xifeng.She just wanted to see how the aunt and niece got along, and they were not in the same room.

If Wang Xifeng did not turn to her mother-in-law, Madam Xing would not be disappointed, after all, she is not Jia Lian's own mother, and she does not have much status in the mansion.But if Wang Xifeng is devoted to the second room, Jia Lian will sooner or later break up with Wang Xifeng.

Mrs. Xing didn't care about Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, she just thought about how to live by herself.

"You have to take good care of it." Wang Xifeng nodded seriously.

In Anyuan Duke's Mansion, Jia Yingchun is planting flowers in the yard. When the weather is fine, all the strawberries she planted bear fruit.

"Take a small basket"

"Here we come." Before Jia Yingchun could finish her words, her second aunt handed over the small basket, and the second young lady had already taken a fancy to these strawberries.With so many strawberries, it is impossible for my niece to eat them by herself. They must be eaten separately as before. Since they are eaten separately, don't let my niece work hard to pick strawberries alone.

Jia Yingchun turned her head and saw her second aunt, "I just sent someone to call you."

"Really?" The second young lady blinked and missed it perfectly.

She knew that her niece would definitely call her, and she liked to pick these fruits by herself.The second young lady had already reached out to the strawberry, picked one, and stuffed it into her mouth without thinking about washing it.

Jia Yingchun saw the second young lady like this, looked at the expression of enjoyment on the other side, and wondered if these strawberries were really so delicious

She looked at a large piece of strawberries in front of her, and thought she had to find the second aunt to come over. The second aunt picked the fruits quickly and very cleanly. She would definitely pick all the ripe strawberries, and would never pick the unripe fruits Picked up.If the third aunt comes, the third aunt will think that these strawberries are almost red, and they should be ready to pick.

Then, there must be fruits that are sour and hard.

This kind of thing happened before, and the third aunt was disgusted by the second aunt, saying that it would be fine to let the third aunt make pastries, and there was no need to be similar, how could the fruit be similar.Unripe fruit doesn't taste as good and is a waste.

The second young lady thinks that picking fruit requires an experienced hand like her, who must know what kind of fruit is ripe and what kind of fruit is the best to eat.

"In a while, let's pick it first, and let someone send it to the palace for the empress dowager to eat." The second young man knew the rules, they could eat a little while picking the fruit, but when the fruit was almost picked, they should send some to the palace.Hug the royal thigh, of course you have to hug it better.

They eat a little while picking, that is considered a poison test.

The second young lady is not guilty at all, she is used to doing these things.Among the young wives, the second young lady has the best relationship with Jia Yingchun.It was precisely because of this that the second young lady often missed the maid sent by Jia Yingchun perfectly, and she came here first.

"Next time, don't call me. When I see that there are a lot of fruits here, I will know that we have a share." The second young lady is not the kind of person with shallow eyes. I don’t come to pick them, of course I have to leave them for my niece to eat.Even if the niece can't finish eating, isn't there still in the palace.

The second young lady also always remembers to tell the people in the palace to help the niece remember.The Rongguo Mansion is unreliable, and the Anyuan Duke's Mansion is more reliable, but the backer does not dislike it. The second young lady thinks that it is better for the niece to have more backers.

The second young lady's sons always feel that they are not their own cousins ​​but their own

"If you don't have much, you can come here and pick it for me to see what tastes better. Leave the delicious ones to me, and leave the bad ones to you." Jia Yingchun said intentionally, "Let's eat them quietly. .”

"No, if you eat it quietly, your first aunt and third aunt will go crazy with jealousy, and then hide in the room and cry." The second young lady sighed, "I am a good sibling and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Third Young Master happened to come over together, and happened to hear what Mrs. Second Young Master said, and today I heard such embarrassing remarks from this one.

"It's because you're greedy, and you're afraid to eat it quietly. You eat too little." The third young lady came over.

"Eat quietly, don't feel at ease, always afraid that people will see, swallow the dates whole, and don't taste the taste." Mrs. Shizi echoed.

"" The second young lady didn't speak, and they saw through it again.

After a while, the second young lady said again, "Didn't you just call me?"

"No." Jia Yingchun pointed to a large piece of strawberries in front of her, "It's getting late, more people, hurry up."

The second young lady looked up at the sky, why did she feel that her niece valued her more? This must be an illusion.

When the people from Anyuan Duke's Mansion sent the things into the palace, the palace was almost closed, but fortunately they arrived in time, and the things were delivered to the Queen Mother and others.

"These strawberries are really big." The queen mother had never eaten such a big strawberry before, and she was in a good mood looking at these big red strawberries.

The queen mother knew that Jia Yingchun had planted strawberries before, and she thought that she would be able to eat strawberries soon.The child would always send some fruits into the palace for them to eat, no matter how little it was, he would still give it away.

Maybe because of the big strawberries, there are not many strawberries in this small bamboo basket, that is, about twenty strawberries.Strawberries are not a good thing to store too much. If you pick them today and eat them today, they will taste much better. They may not be as good tomorrow, and they are not easy to store.

The concubines in the palace learned that Jiahe County Lord sent fruit to the palace again, and they all envied the Queen. It is impossible to give them fruit.

In Concubine Shu's palace, the third princess was holding a big strawberry, which was given to these princes and daughters by the emperor.

"Mother Concubine, why doesn't Jiahe always give it to us?" The third princess sniffed the strawberry, a little reluctant to eat it, such a big strawberry.Something went wrong, please refresh and try again
