By Jia Xiuzhen

Sister Feng let go of her mind, and her life turned better.Hearing about Second Sister You's actions, she simply entrusted Jia Lian's affairs to her, thinking that she was in poor health and was too busy helping his wife to manage the board, so she was afraid that she might accidentally neglect Jia Lian.Usually there is no way, Ping'er Qiutong can only be regarded as a servant in the house, how can he manage the master.Second Sister You is different again. She is the second wife married by Jia Lian, so she can share some burdens with Sister Feng.Second Sister You was so eager for this, seeing that Sister Feng took another bag of broken silver and handed it to her, she immediately agreed.

When Jia Lian came back and heard about this, he first praised Sister Feng for being generous and virtuous, and then suspected that Sister Feng didn't take herself seriously, so she couldn't understand.I just went to see Sister Feng in her room. They talked as usual, there was no difference.But Sister Feng is suffering a lot of losses now, and she is often red. Naturally, she can't stay overnight, and she still goes to sleep with Second Sister You.

This day Mrs. Wang called Sister Feng over, and after talking about a few household chores, she started talking about the affairs in Sister Feng's yard. She said, "How did I hear that you entrusted Lian'er's affairs to Second Sister You? That's terrible." Is it right? Your sister-in-law Zhen had to be taught by her own mother for a long time, and the second sister You and her took the name of sisters, but they belonged to each other. She knows what! Don't make any mistakes. The face was swept outside."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "Madam is also worried, but this is not my idea. The second master has been very caring since he met the You family girl. I think it is because of the compatibility of temperament. I have not been in good health. Second master usually We all live in that house, so it’s more convenient to let her take care of it. I also save one thing, can I be more energetic and help my wife?"

Mrs. Wang heard the sentence that she lived in that house all day, and thought that Second Sister You was still different from Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao back then, so she sighed for Sister Feng.In the past, I only saw that she had a bad reputation because she violated the rules, but now that she is virtuous, she was relieved at first, but she was secretly worthless for her.It's just that I am not a serious mother-in-law, and I can't talk, so I have to take care of her more on weekdays.

The unexpected joy was Mrs. Xing, Rao Second Sister You often hugged Brother Su to show her face after she was confinement, and she didn't get any closer.On the other hand, when Sister Feng went to pay her respects that day, she looked at Sister Feng's face and said, "I misunderstood you too! I only thought you were a strong and determined person, but in the end you became a coward! Although she also Grandma Dansheng, she is just a concubine after all, what are you afraid of her?! Let her be! Let me tell you, this person is the most unforgivable person. You let her take a step. She only treats her as what you deserve. Let her go again. Three steps, and there will be no place for you to stand in the future!"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows secretly, and said helplessly, "What Madam said is not reasonable, but when the world talks about people's hearts, how can there be any reason at all? No matter how strong I am, I am just a woman after all. Our second master has the final say? If it suits the second master's wishes, it is naturally good. Even if I say to break the sky? Let the second master say that I am jealous and don't look like a big house. I think about it, why not Go along with his thoughts, and have a quiet life."

Mrs. Xing snorted heavily after hearing this, then suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Did he really attack you last time?"

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, but she was not what she planned to be now, so she nodded with reddened eyes.

Mrs. Xing patted the armrest: "Stupid thing! Dirty seed! I said that little whore is so bold, how dare this stupid thing be so unprovocative!" She pointed at Sister Feng, "You are not good at progress either! He dares to do something, You won't tell the old lady to go, tell me to come?! Let him bully you, this time he will move his hands, and the next time he may move his feet! Where did the arrogance go earlier?! If you do this, you will lose Coming down?!"

Sister Feng picked two things to tell Mrs. Xing. It was nothing more than how Jia Lian favored the second sister You, and she had to give in for preservation because of her husband's favor.Mrs. Xing scolded Jia Lian and Second Sister You all the way.From then on, I would send some food and stuff to Sister Qiao from time to time, but I didn't mention Brother Su. Everyone said that the eldest wife was going to support the second grandma.

However, Sister Feng knew what Madam Xing was thinking, and her temperament and behavior were mostly her own. Madam Xing thought of herself after seeing Sister Feng's embarrassment.But when she was facing Jia Amnesty, she naturally calmed down, but now she is playing the role of the empress dowager in this play, and she will definitely vent her anger.Sometimes Sister Feng couldn't help laughing when she thought about it carefully, but she never thought that this way of showing weakness, not only did not suffer a disastrous decline as she had thought before, but instead gained a lot of benefits, which is really popular.

There are more than one or two people who calculate people's hearts?

In the south study of Qianyuan Hall, the three brothers were discussing matters.

Xin Wang turned over a few pieces of paper in his hand, tapped his fingers on the handrail, raised his head and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about the disasters in Nantong and Yancheng, Taizhou will be affected very little, but the disaster in Yangzhou is critical? Don't make me laugh."

The emperor said indifferently: "Who said that the disaster in Taizhou is not serious?"

Xin Wang patted his arm: "I said it! Uh no, it was the letter from the trading firm Taitonghang, which said that the account of the disaster loss of the firm. Because Nantong is close to the sea, both Yancheng and Yancheng were affected. The fact that the tsunami has affected is true. Taizhou will not be affected much, and my younger brother can guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

The emperor threw another memorial in front of King Xin, and said, "I just said that, your news is not on the right track. You can read this again."

Xinwang turned it over, but it was the disaster memorial of the local officials in Taizhou. It listed the serious damage of the disaster and the misery of the people.Immediately choked with anger, after a while, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bastard!"

Seeing him like that, the emperor bent his mouth and smiled, then nodded his head and said: "I have sent people to give relief, you let the other end keep an eye on them, keep calm and let them eat them. Just remember to count the number of heads. Write it all down for me. Also, didn’t you say you could raise a group of fast-witted accountants? I’ll see you when I pick up two. If it’s true, I’m afraid we’ll have to use them next year.”

Xin Wang blinked: "Is this what you mean by putting some bait before collecting the net?"

The emperor didn't answer, but changed the topic again: "Lin Aiqing is about to return to court...how do they all hear?"

King Xin laughed and said, "Brother, you haven't seen it! They are like ants on a hot pot. Once the news came out, aside from other things, there were more people in Chang'an city to deliver letters. It’s more than doubled. Hehe, I didn’t expect that there would be so many people watching Lin Ruhai’s little movement, and it’s not enough to find someone to discuss with!”

The emperor nodded: "Very good, let them guess. In two days, you can ask someone to mention the salt administration in the court, so I can talk."

Xin Wang nodded tightly.Seeing that Old God Cheng Wang was drinking tea by himself, he said, "Ninth Brother, there is a disaster along the coast, can you hold your breath now?"

King Cheng didn't even look at him, he just said to himself: "In the past, it was only because of grain seeds and planting, so we couldn't always keep a good harvest. Now that I think about it, the weather is unpredictable, and no matter how good the grain seeds are, it can't guarantee a good harvest every year. And when the sky is not beautiful, the spring is very cold, the flowers are rainy, and the ground is cracked for a long time... let alone such things as hailstorms, black storms, and tsunamis. No income."

The emperor nodded and asked him, "What idea do you have?"

King Cheng then said: "I thought, although I dare not expect a good harvest every year, it will not be a failure every year. This cycle of good and bad is probably a constant. So, the most appropriate way is to save the grain from the good year to the bad year. It’s difficult to use it. I didn’t know if I didn’t go outside, but now I’ve gone to several places. It’s true that in a good year even the dogs eat white flour, and in the next year they can only eat chaff. Asking, it’s not easy to store food. Especially It’s even more difficult for each family, damp and moldy. Even if they are stored well, they will still not be able to catch them when there is a big flood. When the few new cold-resistant species in my hand bear fruit, I want to make good use of them. Get a countermeasure for this food storage."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, just tell me what you need, and just transfer whoever you need. This is the great event of the Qianqiu community."

King Xin rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said to King Cheng: "Brother Nine, I think you'd better add another 'marrying a daughter-in-law' between these two things. It's been a year, and it's time for you to think about this matter. By the way, it wasn't the Zhen family who wanted to give you the concubine's daughter as a side concubine a while ago? If you don't make up your mind, just let those people talk to the concubine. , Whenever her old man is accidentally talked into, if she really decides for you, you will be finished."

King Cheng glanced at him: "Don't put your mind on these men and women's affairs all day long, what can you do when you grow up?!"

King Xin choked, and the emperor above leaned on the Longshu table and shrugged his shoulders with a smile. King Cheng said, "I'll teach you if I can't see it," and "I'm teaching you for your own good." When I grow up... where else can I grow?!"

In a few days, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the early dynasty were involved in the affairs of the salt administration of the dynasty. Therefore, the Holy One remembered Lin Ruhai, the former salt censor Lin Ruhai, and recounted his various measures and achievements during his tenure, sighing, "The so-called pillars should be like this." .For a while, the government and the opposition were speculating a lot, and they didn't know what kind of profound meaning the Holy Majesty's move contained.

Daiyu was also quite disturbed in the academy, several wealthy officials who had no relationship with her suddenly often came to talk to her, and they would inevitably talk about family affairs.Fortunately, Daiyu has lived in Jia's mansion for many years, although she doesn't bother to use it, she doesn't really understand it, and it's easy to deal with a few boudoir girls.In the end, it was Mr. Yunyang who got annoyed and asked her own nanny to guard the door, and no one would be allowed in. Then she said to Daiyu: "Fame and wealth reflect so much evil in the past and the present. A little bit of good for a woman is a shame." Stay away from these pickled things, and you should cherish this preciousness." Naturally, Daiyu couldn't answer.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the year, Jia Zheng came back, first went to the court to face the sage, and then went to the Yamen to complete the affairs. The emperor gave him a one-month leave to let him rest.Yuanchun in the harem learned that Jia Zheng had returned to Beijing at the end of his tenure, so he wanted to pay attention to the movement of the former court, but only heard that the emperor gave him a leave, and had nothing else to say.For a moment, my heart was tossed, and it was difficult to calm down.

When Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, everyone met each other, but they saw Jin Chuan'er and another woman standing behind Jia Zheng with their women's hair in a bun and a little girl. A two-year-old doll.She looks pink and jade-carved, and now she looks at a room full of people without crying, with a pair of purple grape-like eyes looking at this and that, very clever.

Jia Zheng kowtowed to Jiamu, and Jiamu helped him up, with tears in her eyes, she said, "Okay, okay, just come back."

Jia Zheng helped Jia's mother to sit down, stood sideways, and said to the child, "Come over and say hello to the old lady!"

The nurse put him down, and the little baby walked up to Jia Mu on short legs, bowed in a decent manner and said, "Xu'er greets the old lady, and hello to the old lady." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.Everyone around laughed, and Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to help him up, then led him to take a closer look, and said with a smile, "It looks clever."

Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "You can figure out how this person arranges it."

Mrs. Wang said: "Aunt Zhou went with her earlier, but she was not blessed. The master and servant three went, and this one is left. Now she has given birth to the master again, so she can be promoted to aunt. Jin Chuan'er followed I have been with me for these years, since the master thinks highly of her, it is worthwhile to serve her together."

Mother Jia nodded and said, "You can make arrangements."

After a few days, a few tables of wine were set up at home, and Rui'er and Jin Chuan'er became Jia Zheng's aunts.Because Rui'er remembered Aunt Zhou's kindness in her heart, she only said her surname was Zhou, so she became Aunt Zhou again.Jin Chuan'er's original surname was Bai, so she was called Aunt Bai.

The two girls who were originally serving Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhou, after returning home, they still serve Mrs. Wang all day long as before, without any outrageous words or deeds.It disappoints those who want to watch the excitement.Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Xun was clever, and besides, he was young, and she would let her hug her to make fun of him from time to time, and she looked very good as a wife and concubine.
