Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]
Chapter 31 Eliminate Diabetic Maids for Aizi Wang's Maid and Protect Her Reputation
As soon as the emperor left Beijing, Jia Qi was free.
He has already handed over all the money and the glass shop, so he has nothing to do.Anyway, he was serving the imperial edict, the emperor was not around, and he was young, so naturally he had nothing to do. He went to answer his appointment every morning, sat down for a while, and then went home.
Although Jia Yue is married, Jia Wan is also 16 years old, so it's time to say kiss.
Jia Qi thought that Jia Wan would get engaged smoothly, but who would have thought that the concubine of the Supreme Emperor would not be able to make it through, and would suddenly disappear?
However, the Taishang Emperor is a stubborn person, and he doesn't know which prince talked to him, anyway, it is the year of national mourning that is spread along with the funeral news.
The Supreme Emperor asked his subjects to mourn for the concubine for one year.
Well, the theater troupe behind the Grand View Garden can't stay.All masters, instructors, and musicians were all sent home, even the group of little opera singers, who had places to go, and there were only twelve left, who had nowhere to go, and Mother Jia left a civil servant. One named Wenguan was allowed to enter the Grand View Garden, but another named Ouguan was named to Lin Daiyu.
Mrs. Xing was sitting at home well, when out of the blue, a woman came from Jiamu's side, leading a girl who didn't look like a girl in, and said it was for Lin Daiyu. After asking again, she became even more speechless.
Mrs. Xing was timid, but she dared not disobey Jia Mu's wishes, she had to drag the old woman first, and another little girl had already slipped out to find Jia Qi.
When I was young, Jia Qi came and met Mrs. Xing. After knowing what happened, he glanced at the girl coldly and said, "Little opera singer? A singer?"
This group of little opera singers have all heard about the matter of Lingguan, and Ouguan is no exception. Now that they are so close to a real person, how can they not be afraid?Bisheng didn't dare not answer, so he nodded.
Jia Qi said: "Singing Xiaosheng?"
The lotus root officer nodded again.
"Called the lotus root official?"
Jia Qi's voice was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip, Ouguan was terrified, how could he dare to nod?
"I heard that when the pharmacist was here, you and the pharmacist not only pretended to be husband and wife on the stage, but also acted like a husband and wife every day? After the pharmacist died, he replaced the rui officer, and said, what is it like a man reuniting?"
The lotus official has long been speechless.
She knelt on the ground with a common sound and kowtowed repeatedly.
Jia Qi said: "The old lady really cares about Sister Lin, or is she humiliating me? Who doesn't know that Sister Lin is so beautiful, it's too late for me to protect her, you say, I will let a girl who pretends to be a man stay With her?"
Not only the girl, even the woman was dumbfounded.
Jia Qi didn't care, and asked someone to put the girl on hold, and asked You Ruo to send her back.
As soon as You Ruo left, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but said to her son: "Xiao Si, that's an old lady after all."
Jia Qi said: "My daughter-in-law is mine. Is there a lack of such a girl in our family who is eager to ask for the little opera singer who enshrines the empress over there? Or is it that the mother responds quickly and asks me to be called in time, otherwise, today If the story of the show gets out, people won't say that the old lady sent it here specially, they will only say that we have shallow eyelids! Besides, can this girl who sings an opera be a good girl? Mom, look at it, this In the future, there will be more things going on in the Grand View Garden. If Mother is free, she will take her sister and nieces out as guests, and avoid going there, so as not to cause something to happen there and rely on us."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Grand View Garden to become lively.
Different from the original book, in the original book Mrs. Wang is Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, and she has the title of Mrs. Chiming. Since the concubine is gone, Mrs. Wang must go to worship with Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing.
But now, Mrs. Wang is just a white body, she is looking forward and looking forward, looking forward to it for so long, and the family has built a family-confectioning villa for Meiyang Meilun - Grand View Garden, but the will of Jiaen to her is far away.
Although Mrs. Wang is the wife in charge of Jia Zheng's side, her face is really dull.
Even if the daughter-in-law is squeezed into the Grand View Garden and she holds the power of the housekeeper of the family, but seeing Mrs. Xing's appearance is decent, and looking at herself, Mrs. Wang will not mention how embarrassing she is.
Just at this time, the eunuch in the palace came again, and looking for a reason, he asked Mrs. Wang for 2000 taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang's heart ached so badly, but she couldn't help it.
After the little eunuch left, Mrs. Wang felt even more distressed when she counted the money extorted by these eunuchs these days.
The Grand View Garden reform started under this circumstance.
Mrs. Wang's meaning was naturally to save money, but Mrs. Wang wanted her reputation for compassion, so it was naturally difficult to bring it up.Therefore, Mrs. Wang used the excuse that Yingchun and Tanchun were grown up, and it was time to learn how to be a housekeeper. She handed over the Grand View Garden to the two sisters for practice. She was afraid that the two sisters would have a baby, so she asked Li Wan to help and Xue Baochai. Point them out.
Behind the scenes, Caiyun, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Wang, greeted Tanchun again.
Tanchun originally wanted to show off, but now that he has this opportunity, how can he not be dedicated?Naturally gave the answer.
But Mrs. Wang and Tanchun never expected that Xue Baochai would make a move. Not only did she rob all the credit, but she also gave the 400 taels of silver that could have been collected a year to the women.
Xue Baochai did this because of the factors of buying people's hearts and attacking the faction of concubines such as Tanchun and Aunt Zhao, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Mrs. Wang.
Although the rouge powder and dim sum are saved, how much is it worth?What Mrs. Wang wants is to reduce the high maintenance cost of the Grand View Garden every year. Now, all these calculations have come to nothing. She also wants to thank Xue Baochai for her thoughtfulness.
Not to mention, Xue Baochai's win over the attacker, making Ying'er recognize Mingyan's mother as a godmother, etc., turned out to be ambush around her son before the marriage was even written off.
Mrs. Wang panicked for the first time. If her son really wants to marry this Xue Baochai, is that still her son?
Jia Zhu was dead, and Mrs. Wang certainly didn't want Jia Baoyu to divorce her. Jia Baoyu was raised by Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang felt bad enough. Now, Xue Baochai did it again.
In the original book, with Lin Daiyu attracting firepower, Mrs. Wang naturally wholeheartedly guarded against Lin Daiyu, and naturally thought that Xue Baochai was an excellent person, but now, without Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun is like that again, obviously even Jia Mu is not satisfied. Xue Baochai is one, why doesn't Mrs. Wang take a magnifying glass and break apart and crush Xue Baochai's every move?
Not to mention, what happened to the little opera singer that year made Jia Qi vigilant, and Jia Qi knew about Caiyun Caixia and Jia Huan, so he had already grasped these two girls.There are two reminders from Caiyun and Caixia, can Xue Baochai pass the test so easily?
Not only Xue Baochai, but also Xiren, Jia Qi will not let it go.
No, this day Mrs. Wang was taking a nap, Caiyun and Caixia drove the other girls out, and then counted the time. When Mrs. Wang woke up, the two girls chatted on purpose:
"It's really not easy for my wife. In just a few days, my wife has lost a lot of weight."
Caixia said: "That's not true. Madam saw that the family's expenses are high, and originally wanted to save a little bit, but in the end,..."
Caiyun said: "Actually, I've wanted to say it a long time ago, this garden is too outrageous. Do you still remember Qianxue?"
"Xianxue? She used to serve the Second Master Bao?"
Caiyun nodded and said: "We all know that Qianxue was kicked out because the girl in Second Master Bao's room had a quarrel with Nanny Li, but what the big guys don't know is that it was the attacker Playing with Second Master Bao, Nanny Li saw that something was wrong, and then she exploded. But how powerful is the attack, taking Qianxue to take the blame, and also made Second Master Bao hate Li Nanny, you Look, how long did Nanny Li go out, how long did it take?"
Caixia was startled, and said: "No way? How could it be Xiren? She was just bought from outside. Where did she get such great energy?"
Caiyun said: "She naturally has such great energy. Who made her climb into the bed of Second Master Bao? Her family was originally starving to death because they couldn't eat, so they sold her. Up to now, who doesn't Knowing that their Hua family is a well-known landlord in the suburbs of Beijing! Last time the girls in the garden wanted to set up a poetry club but had no money, so Master Bao told him to do it. As a result, the box under the bed was dragged out to look, and there were only two Ingots and silver are a few pennies. Do you think that people like us will lose the gold and silver coins of the second master Bao during the festivals, or the monthly money of the second master Bao during the weekdays?"
Mrs. Wang sat up with a cry, and said, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang only has such a young son left, why don't she care?Now hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately changed her face.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill.
Caiyun and Caixia immediately knelt down and begged Mrs. Wang for forgiveness.
Mrs. Wang said: "Shut up! What you just said, is it true?"
Caiyun Caixia hurriedly kowtowed: "Madam, we dare not lie. Everything we say is true. Madam just ask someone to check."
Mrs. Wang got up immediately, handed over to Wu Youliang's family, and gave her orders.That afternoon, Wu Youliang took people to Xiren's house, and sure enough, they found a lot of things. Besides money and fields, there were also many accessories that Jia Baoyu had used and Mrs. Jia Muwang gave to Jia Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang immediately reported to the official, threw Hua Zifang's family into the prison, and then entered the Grand View Garden aggressively with her people regardless of the night.
At first, Xiren thought that if she had Mrs. Wang's trust, anyone could have an accident, but she was the only one who had Mrs. Wang's approval, but when Mrs. Wang asked someone to drag her down for a medical examination, she panicked.
Not only Xiren, but also Bihenqiuwen and several people who were related to Jia Baoyu were also in bad luck.
In Jia Baoyu's room, Qingwen was the most beautiful, and Mrs. Wang was the most worried about this girl. Therefore, she specially told those mothers to pay attention to Qingwen. Not to mention how upset Madam Wang was that the attacker who won Mrs. Wang's heart was not clean.
Annoyed and because it was about Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang became even more angry. She even asked someone to strip off Xiren's, Bihen's, and Qiuwen's clothes and jewelry, leaving only a single piece of clothing, which was dragged away.
Annoyances can be annoyances, sons are the most important.
Mrs. Wang ordered Xiren, Bihen and Qiuwen to be dragged down, beat the rest of the maids, gave Caiyun to Jia Baoyu, and then took them away.
Jia Baoyu cried like a tearful man, Caiyun didn't even get angry when he saw Jia Baoyu like this.She is good with Jia Huan, how can she be willing to serve Jia Baoyu? ?
So when she saw Jia Baoyu crying, and the other girls were still surrounding Jia Baoyu, comforting Jia Baoyu, Caiyun snorted coldly: "Since you like those few so much, why didn't you just ask your wife for mercy? Maybe you can't do anything else, give them It’s alright to keep your clothes and save your face, right? I didn’t have the guts just now, so I’ll save cat urine now!”
Jia Baoyu hiccupped from crying: "But, but..."
"But what?" Caiyun said, "Not only them, but also Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er! Among them, Yu Chuan'er is the most unlucky. After Jin Chuan'er is gone, she won't give you good looks. But you just want to provoke She, you can just provoke her, but she fell into the eyes of the master. When Yu Chuan'er was beaten to death, why didn't you cry?"
As she spoke, Caiyun's tears also came down.
Caiyun didn't want to cry in front of Jia Baoyu, so she stomped her feet and went back to her room.
Caiyun doesn't like Jia Baoyu, so naturally she doesn't want to serve Jia Baoyu, but the more she ignores her, the more Jia Baoyu loves to come to her, but this scene fell into Jia Huan's eyes.
Caiyun was given to Jia Baoyu by Mrs. Wang, and it was none other than Jia Huan who felt the most uncomfortable. Now seeing Jia Baoyu and Caiyun flirting, Jia Huan was very angry, and ran all the way back to the house, sending the old Caiyun away. He found all the things that were given to him, and threw them on Caiyun's face, expressing that he didn't care for a girl like Caiyun who climbed high.
Caiyun was angry and impatient, but she couldn't care less, so she immediately chased after Jia Huan and dragged Jia Huan into the rockery, saying to Jia Huan, "Heaven and earth conscience, who have I been doing all these years for? Not for you! Do you think, If I have something to do with Second Master Bao, will my wife tolerate me? Isn’t it because my wife will give me to Second Master Bao because she trusts me and because I won’t provoke Second Master Bao?!”
Jia Huan lowered his head and didn't speak.
Caiyun looked around and saw that there was no one around, and there were no shadows under the trees or behind the stones, so she said, "How did you know about the attack when you are a wife?"
"Ok?"
Jia Huan is not stupid. Hearing what Caiyun said, he naturally knew that there was something else going on here.
Caiyun said: "Have you forgotten, when Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin were gone, what was the attitude of this mansion towards Miss Lin's filial piety? After Xiren's mother died, what was Xiren's wife's attitude? People are so proud of this, thinking that they have surpassed Miss Lin, and they have spoken ill of Miss Lin several times in front of Second Master Bao. You don't know what kind of person Master Qi is in the mansion? For Lin Girl, he can kill someone in front of the old lady! Xiren said bad things about Miss Lin, it's no wonder he can spare her!"
"So, this is Brother Qi..."
Caiyun said: "It's good that you know."
Saying that, he straightened Jia Huan's clothes.
Jia Huan was very embarrassed: "Sister Caiyun, I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."
"I know." Caiyun said in a low voice. After thinking about it for a while, she still whispered in Jia Huan's ear, "Brother Huan, you are not young anymore. It's like that again, you can't learn anything at all. I have already begged Master Qi over there, and he promised me that as long as you clean up well, he will let you go to the Qi family's house to study."
The Qi family, that is, Jia Yue's in-law's family, is a serious scholarly family.The Qi family's family education has produced several candidates, let alone scholars.
Hearing what Caiyun said, Jia Huan was moved to tears. He swore that he would study hard and live up to Caiyun's wishes.
Caiyun also instructed Jia Huan, and the two left.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jia Huan to go to Qi's family to study.He also knew that he could only get ahead by studying, so he worked very hard, and with two targeted training questions Caiyun Caixia asked from Jia Qi, he finally passed the scholar examination four years later.
This is all for later.
On the other hand, Caiyun turned out to be Mrs. Wang's big girl, and she had no other thoughts about Jia Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang stood behind her, so she naturally became the number one in Jia Baoyu's room.
Caiyun was quite capable, and soon, Jia Baoyu's needlework had to bother outsiders.
Caiyun will not allow the girls below to be lazy. She said on the first day she officially took office: "I know everything about the affairs of Second Master Bao's house. I am not an attacker, so I will let you be lazy. But you use the girl from your relative's house as a needleworker! Either you take the work from me every month, as long as you finish it on time, I don't care what you do in the rest of the time. Otherwise, I'm going back to my wife now, and now Let you go home!"
Where are these girls willing to go home, they have to be obedient.
Even Fangguan and Ouguan had to embroider some handkerchiefs and purses every day, so naturally they didn't have such a carefree mind.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Baolinghou came back from a trip that day, and the next day after returning to Beijing, she went to Jia's house, and Jia's mother called Caiyun to question her.
Caiyun said: "Back to the old lady, the lady, the servant girl was serving the wife before, and the days of serving the second master Bao are not very long. However,..."
"But what?"
"The servant girl asks the old lady to pardon the maidservant's innocence, so that the servant girl dares to speak."
"You said."
"The servant girl has long disliked Xiren, not only because Xiren seduced Second Master Bao, but also because Xiren deliberately manipulated the girls in Second Master Bao's house, making them play wild, while he manipulated Shi The eldest girl and Bao girl help to do needlework for her."
Jia Mu immediately asked.
Caiyun said: "Old lady, many people know about this matter. The servant girl was served by the wife's side, and it was too late when she found out. It is said that Xiren deliberately didn't send Bao Erye in the house in order to gain a virtuous name. The maids are doing the work, but I have limited ability, so I often ask Miss Shi and Miss Bao to help her. For this reason, Xiren even arranged for Miss Lin..."
"Why did you get involved with Miss Lin?"
Caiyun told Xiren and Shi Xiangyun how to arrange Lin Daiyu in front of Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu was not happy. Seeing Jia Baoyu's face, he agreed to help the attacker make Jia Baoyu's underwear.
Jiamu's face changed immediately: "When did this happen?"
Caiyun said: "Back to the old lady, the maidservant doesn't know the exact time, but the maidservant only knows that when the maidservant heard it, it was already past Miss Lin's birthday."
Mother Jia waved her hand and let Caiyun go down.
When it came to the little opera singer, Mother Jia gave up on wanting Shi Xiangyun to be Jia Baoyu's wife, but what Caiyun said today offended Jia's mother.
Shi Xiangyun even said good things about Xue Baochai to Xiren, and even said, "If I have such a sister, it's okay if I don't have parents."
Based on Shi Xiangyun's words,
Just because Shi Xiangyun helped Jia Baoyu make close-fitting clothes,
It was enough to make the girls of the Shi family hang themselves and wipe their necks!
It is also enough to discredit the aunts, aunts, and aunts who married all historians!
And the only way to make up for it is to get Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun engaged!
Mother Jia wanted this, and Mrs. Wang naturally wanted it too.
Mrs. Wang was shocked and frightened when she saw the change in Jia Mu's expression.
With a plop, she knelt down in front of Mother Jia.
Jia Mu said, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Wang trembled and said: "Old, old lady, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, please, don't, don't let Baoyu marry, marry..."
"Who to marry? Yun girl? I remember, but you praised Xiren a lot, which made her so courageous!"
"But Xiren was given to Baoyu by the old lady."
"So you're blaming me?"
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law dare not."
Mother Jia snorted coldly, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Then tell me, who do you want Baoyu to marry? You want you to name someone, as long as this person is higher than Miss Yun, as long as this person The family also agrees, and the old woman has no objection."
Mrs. Wang blushed, her mouth trembled, and she didn't fart for a long time.
Jia Cong, who is only one year older than Jia Baoyu in the east, is already a Juren. If Jia Cong hadn't been preparing to take the test three years later, he might be engaged by now.
Just imagine, in a family of nobles and nobles like Jia She, the father is a first-class supernatural general appointed by the imperial court, and the son is already a juren at a young age. Even Mrs. Wang, if she has a daughter, she is willing to marry her daughter.
But in contrast, Jia Baoyu is only one year younger than Jia Cong, and he is still messing around in the inner circle. He hasn't even gone to school for a few days, and he spends less time working as a servant for those girls than touching serious books. Long, even at a young age, he has already had skin-to-skin relationships with the girls.
If such Jia Baoyu was not Mrs. Wang's own son, Mrs. Wang herself would despise him.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang sympathized with Xue Baochai's dislike of Jia Baoyu.
Jia's mother said: "You have also seen that there is no better candidate than Yun girl. Besides, Yun girl's two uncles are Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou. If Yun girl marries Baoyu, old Two, what's the matter, don't historians help?"
Madam Wang nodded.
The matter between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu was settled in this way, but it is still in the state mourning, and it is not easy to go to the Yamen to issue a marriage certificate, so the two families exchange tokens and it is over.
Mrs. Wang originally wanted to use the good fortune to get money from Xue's family, but Jia's mother didn't want to make a bigger incident. Therefore, on this day, when the daughters-in-law on both sides came to pay their respects with the younger generations, Jia Mother announced it.
When Xue Baochai heard it, it was as if someone had punched her hard, her face turned pale.
However, apart from being uncomfortable, Xue Baochai didn't feel much humiliation in his heart. On the contrary, Xue Baochai was really relieved.
that's nice,
He's finally engaged,
My mother may be able to wake up.
Aunt Xue was able to get rid of Mrs. Wang's bewitchment, which was a great victory for Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai felt that Jia Baoyu was engaged, and he was 16 years old. Although it was said that marriage was forbidden during the national funeral, seeing each other was allowed.I am not bad in appearance, although the dowry is not as good as that of Lin Daiyu, but compared with Jia Yue and Jia Wan, it is not much worse.
It's not too late to find a good marriage for yourself.
Xue Baochai's plan was well planned, but how could Mrs. Wang let her go so easily?
Xue Pan did not come back after selling goods outside?
It's easy.
Soon, the Mei family went to the Jia family to withdraw the engagement.
The meaning of the Mei family is very clear. Jia Baoyu's reputation of being romantic and lustful has spread throughout the capital, and all the girls around him have affairs with him. How can Xue Baoqin, who lives with Jia Baoyu in the Grand View Garden, be innocent?
Xue Baoqin cried to death.
But what's the use of this?
The Mei family said it well, Xue Baoqin is only old this year, not even 13 years old, right?Even if the two families have already signed a marriage certificate, it is impossible for the Mei family to let Xue Baoqin in so early.If Xue Baoqin honestly took care of her mother at home, their Mei family would never break their promise when they were old.
What now?
Xue Baoqin actually abandoned her sickly mother to live in Grand View Garden. Their Mei family did not care about such an unfilial daughter!
Public opinion is on the side of the Mei family. Chen Yushi in front and Mrs. Jia Shexing next door will definitely not get involved in this muddy mud. So what if the Xue family gave money to Mrs. Jia Muwang?It will only make Xue Baoqin's reputation worse.
The marriage between Xue Baoqin and the Mei family ended like this. Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Wan's widow immediately took her two daughters and went to her uncle.
It was at this time that Jia Jing died and Xichun went home.
The Grand View Garden was almost half empty at once.
Xue Baoqin was divorced, and Xue Baochai was the most uncomfortable one.
She originally thought that since her cousin married the Mei family, she could take advantage of the Mei family's name to find a good marriage for herself, but now?
Xue Baoqin's resignation means that Xue Baochai's future has been cut off!
The more Xue Baochai thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and finally she couldn't hold it any longer, and she developed a fever that night.
Xue Baochai had a fever, which frightened Aunt Xue half to death. She moved Xue Baochai out of the Grand View Garden overnight, invited a doctor, and searched for century-old ginseng as medicine. The fragrant pills were dug out and fed to the cousin.
The Grand View Garden, which was still bustling yesterday, more than half of the people left at once.
Xichun went back to General Wei Lie's mansion to keep filial piety for his father, sisters Li Wen and Li Qi followed their mother to their uncle's house, sisters Xue's family moved out of the Grand View Garden, and now only Yingchun Tanchun Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu are left in the Grand View Garden. Four people only.
In this regard, Jia Qi said that he was very satisfied.
On the other side, there was also someone who was very satisfied with Jia Qi.
This is Dezhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is not a small town, and it is still a long way from the Yellow River.This time the Yellow River broke its embankment, and it was the river embankment in the north that broke. Therefore, Jiyang and Yucheng have become a whole country. The emperor thought that in Dezhou, he would see a group of people in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, and desperate. Scenes of human tragedies of selling off sons and daughters, and changing sons to eat, but the emperor never expected that he would see such a scene.
Just outside the South Gate of Dezhou, there is a row of tables, and a row of people who look like accountants are sitting behind the tables, and there is a white cloth embroidered in black on the city wall, and there are people on the city wall who are pointing at the refugees under the city wall Shout out:
"...Look carefully, look carefully, and see if the words on the paper you received match the ones on this piece of cloth. It doesn't matter if you don't know the words, as long as you are careful, don't make mistakes with the characters. Just do it!"
"...Fellow folks, Jia Shizhao in Beijing bought 90 mu of river beach land in the area of Yumenkou to dig lakes and discharge flood and sand for the Yellow River! In this way, the imperial court will be able to manage the downstream more easily. Therefore, Jia Shizhao is short of manpower, a lot of manpower. Go to work for Jia Shizhao, have food, meat, and wages, you see, "
The man held a spear without a head, and patted the hanging cloth:
"It's written on it, every man who does heavy work, look carefully, he is a man who does heavy work, 36 catties of grain per month, white rice and millet are half and half. Of course, such a little grain is definitely not enough to eat, so , This document also said that one catty of white rice is worth ten catties of sweet potatoes! If you are reluctant to eat white rice, you can ask for sweet potatoes, and eat it with millet, and you will be full! Also, every man who does heavy work gets a chicken every ten days One duck and one rabbit! That is to say, if you don’t eat in the cafeteria, you can get the ingredients and go home and make it yourself. If you eat in the cafeteria, there are tickets in the cafeteria, meal tickets for meals, meat tickets for meat, and vegetables for vegetables Tickets! Everyone eats with tickets! Listen carefully, this is a man who does heavy work, and a man who does not do heavy work is just like a woman."
"The wages are also calculated every ten days! The first year is [-] yuan a month. That is to say, as long as you work for Jia Shizhao, you can still get money in addition to the meal tickets in the cafeteria. But , everyone knows that as a human being, one has to pay a tax. As for the tax, Jia Shizhao has already won the lowest for us, which is [-] yuan a year, that is to say, ten yuan a day! This money Well, it will be paid by Jia Shizhao, so, in the end, in the first year, everyone can get only ten coins per day, and the other ten coins will be taxed. However, as long as you have worked for one year, that is, you have paid for one year Ding tax, you can settle in the local area, and your household registration is counted as a tenant farmer! If you continue to work for Jia Shizhao, you can still eat in the cafeteria, but your salary is not [-] yuan a month, but based on seniority, For every additional year, you will get an extra [-] Wen a month, and once a year. Of course, if you have the ability to work in Jia Shizhao’s workshop or shop, the salary will naturally be more.”
"Of course, when it comes to men, there are women. Jia Shizhao needs so many men to help with work, so it is natural for women to help with chores, such as washing clothes for heavy labor, cooking, and of course, there are other things. For example, women are definitely required in textile workshops, and women are also required to take care of abandoned babies. So, girls and daughters-in-law of various families, take care, women, as long as they are 15 years old, they also have to pay the small tax. However, you only need to pay half of men's, that is, [-] Wen a year, so your wages are only half of men's. Similarly, considering your appetite is not as good as men's, the food part is only two-thirds of men's. Take a look, women’s wages are half of men’s, and their food is two-thirds of men’s. Similarly, after one year of working and paying the small tax, you can also settle down, and your household registration is the same as tenants...”
The person above shouted hoarsely to the people below, explaining all men and women, old people and children one by one, and a large group of people below lined up in order, standing in front of more than 30 tables in a row, listening Accountant’s questioning, and then pressed his fingerprints on each piece of paper, and took a few thick pieces of paper that were about an inch long and the thickness of a finger—these pieces of paper were their rations for the past few days. If you are on an errand, you will naturally get more tickets, even cloth tickets-go to the side, take the paper and replace it with a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach, and then someone will take them to wait elsewhere.It is said that when the weather is better and the boat comes, they will go upstream.
Although these common people are still dragging their children and taking care of their daughters, and although these common people are still dressed in rags, the emperor saw much better than the time more than ten years ago.
The spirits of these people are good, at least, they still have hope.
The emperor looked around for a long time, then carefully looked at the refugees, and suddenly said: "This little thing, no wonder he is short of money! 36 catties of grain a month! White rice and millet are half and half! This is not a small amount. .”
Immediately someone said: "Long live, I want to impeach, Jia Shizhao is buying people's hearts."
The emperor took a deep look at those people and said, "If he had a different heart, he would not have taken in so many women and children. The children are fine, so what can women do?"
Since the Yuan Dynasty, the world has been full of contempt for women, and the emperor is no exception.
Therefore, seeing Jia Qi taking in so many women, the emperor naturally dispelled his doubts about Jia Qi.
He has already handed over all the money and the glass shop, so he has nothing to do.Anyway, he was serving the imperial edict, the emperor was not around, and he was young, so naturally he had nothing to do. He went to answer his appointment every morning, sat down for a while, and then went home.
Although Jia Yue is married, Jia Wan is also 16 years old, so it's time to say kiss.
Jia Qi thought that Jia Wan would get engaged smoothly, but who would have thought that the concubine of the Supreme Emperor would not be able to make it through, and would suddenly disappear?
However, the Taishang Emperor is a stubborn person, and he doesn't know which prince talked to him, anyway, it is the year of national mourning that is spread along with the funeral news.
The Supreme Emperor asked his subjects to mourn for the concubine for one year.
Well, the theater troupe behind the Grand View Garden can't stay.All masters, instructors, and musicians were all sent home, even the group of little opera singers, who had places to go, and there were only twelve left, who had nowhere to go, and Mother Jia left a civil servant. One named Wenguan was allowed to enter the Grand View Garden, but another named Ouguan was named to Lin Daiyu.
Mrs. Xing was sitting at home well, when out of the blue, a woman came from Jiamu's side, leading a girl who didn't look like a girl in, and said it was for Lin Daiyu. After asking again, she became even more speechless.
Mrs. Xing was timid, but she dared not disobey Jia Mu's wishes, she had to drag the old woman first, and another little girl had already slipped out to find Jia Qi.
When I was young, Jia Qi came and met Mrs. Xing. After knowing what happened, he glanced at the girl coldly and said, "Little opera singer? A singer?"
This group of little opera singers have all heard about the matter of Lingguan, and Ouguan is no exception. Now that they are so close to a real person, how can they not be afraid?Bisheng didn't dare not answer, so he nodded.
Jia Qi said: "Singing Xiaosheng?"
The lotus root officer nodded again.
"Called the lotus root official?"
Jia Qi's voice was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip, Ouguan was terrified, how could he dare to nod?
"I heard that when the pharmacist was here, you and the pharmacist not only pretended to be husband and wife on the stage, but also acted like a husband and wife every day? After the pharmacist died, he replaced the rui officer, and said, what is it like a man reuniting?"
The lotus official has long been speechless.
She knelt on the ground with a common sound and kowtowed repeatedly.
Jia Qi said: "The old lady really cares about Sister Lin, or is she humiliating me? Who doesn't know that Sister Lin is so beautiful, it's too late for me to protect her, you say, I will let a girl who pretends to be a man stay With her?"
Not only the girl, even the woman was dumbfounded.
Jia Qi didn't care, and asked someone to put the girl on hold, and asked You Ruo to send her back.
As soon as You Ruo left, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but said to her son: "Xiao Si, that's an old lady after all."
Jia Qi said: "My daughter-in-law is mine. Is there a lack of such a girl in our family who is eager to ask for the little opera singer who enshrines the empress over there? Or is it that the mother responds quickly and asks me to be called in time, otherwise, today If the story of the show gets out, people won't say that the old lady sent it here specially, they will only say that we have shallow eyelids! Besides, can this girl who sings an opera be a good girl? Mom, look at it, this In the future, there will be more things going on in the Grand View Garden. If Mother is free, she will take her sister and nieces out as guests, and avoid going there, so as not to cause something to happen there and rely on us."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Grand View Garden to become lively.
Different from the original book, in the original book Mrs. Wang is Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, and she has the title of Mrs. Chiming. Since the concubine is gone, Mrs. Wang must go to worship with Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing.
But now, Mrs. Wang is just a white body, she is looking forward and looking forward, looking forward to it for so long, and the family has built a family-confectioning villa for Meiyang Meilun - Grand View Garden, but the will of Jiaen to her is far away.
Although Mrs. Wang is the wife in charge of Jia Zheng's side, her face is really dull.
Even if the daughter-in-law is squeezed into the Grand View Garden and she holds the power of the housekeeper of the family, but seeing Mrs. Xing's appearance is decent, and looking at herself, Mrs. Wang will not mention how embarrassing she is.
Just at this time, the eunuch in the palace came again, and looking for a reason, he asked Mrs. Wang for 2000 taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang's heart ached so badly, but she couldn't help it.
After the little eunuch left, Mrs. Wang felt even more distressed when she counted the money extorted by these eunuchs these days.
The Grand View Garden reform started under this circumstance.
Mrs. Wang's meaning was naturally to save money, but Mrs. Wang wanted her reputation for compassion, so it was naturally difficult to bring it up.Therefore, Mrs. Wang used the excuse that Yingchun and Tanchun were grown up, and it was time to learn how to be a housekeeper. She handed over the Grand View Garden to the two sisters for practice. She was afraid that the two sisters would have a baby, so she asked Li Wan to help and Xue Baochai. Point them out.
Behind the scenes, Caiyun, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Wang, greeted Tanchun again.
Tanchun originally wanted to show off, but now that he has this opportunity, how can he not be dedicated?Naturally gave the answer.
But Mrs. Wang and Tanchun never expected that Xue Baochai would make a move. Not only did she rob all the credit, but she also gave the 400 taels of silver that could have been collected a year to the women.
Xue Baochai did this because of the factors of buying people's hearts and attacking the faction of concubines such as Tanchun and Aunt Zhao, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Mrs. Wang.
Although the rouge powder and dim sum are saved, how much is it worth?What Mrs. Wang wants is to reduce the high maintenance cost of the Grand View Garden every year. Now, all these calculations have come to nothing. She also wants to thank Xue Baochai for her thoughtfulness.
Not to mention, Xue Baochai's win over the attacker, making Ying'er recognize Mingyan's mother as a godmother, etc., turned out to be ambush around her son before the marriage was even written off.
Mrs. Wang panicked for the first time. If her son really wants to marry this Xue Baochai, is that still her son?
Jia Zhu was dead, and Mrs. Wang certainly didn't want Jia Baoyu to divorce her. Jia Baoyu was raised by Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang felt bad enough. Now, Xue Baochai did it again.
In the original book, with Lin Daiyu attracting firepower, Mrs. Wang naturally wholeheartedly guarded against Lin Daiyu, and naturally thought that Xue Baochai was an excellent person, but now, without Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun is like that again, obviously even Jia Mu is not satisfied. Xue Baochai is one, why doesn't Mrs. Wang take a magnifying glass and break apart and crush Xue Baochai's every move?
Not to mention, what happened to the little opera singer that year made Jia Qi vigilant, and Jia Qi knew about Caiyun Caixia and Jia Huan, so he had already grasped these two girls.There are two reminders from Caiyun and Caixia, can Xue Baochai pass the test so easily?
Not only Xue Baochai, but also Xiren, Jia Qi will not let it go.
No, this day Mrs. Wang was taking a nap, Caiyun and Caixia drove the other girls out, and then counted the time. When Mrs. Wang woke up, the two girls chatted on purpose:
"It's really not easy for my wife. In just a few days, my wife has lost a lot of weight."
Caixia said: "That's not true. Madam saw that the family's expenses are high, and originally wanted to save a little bit, but in the end,..."
Caiyun said: "Actually, I've wanted to say it a long time ago, this garden is too outrageous. Do you still remember Qianxue?"
"Xianxue? She used to serve the Second Master Bao?"
Caiyun nodded and said: "We all know that Qianxue was kicked out because the girl in Second Master Bao's room had a quarrel with Nanny Li, but what the big guys don't know is that it was the attacker Playing with Second Master Bao, Nanny Li saw that something was wrong, and then she exploded. But how powerful is the attack, taking Qianxue to take the blame, and also made Second Master Bao hate Li Nanny, you Look, how long did Nanny Li go out, how long did it take?"
Caixia was startled, and said: "No way? How could it be Xiren? She was just bought from outside. Where did she get such great energy?"
Caiyun said: "She naturally has such great energy. Who made her climb into the bed of Second Master Bao? Her family was originally starving to death because they couldn't eat, so they sold her. Up to now, who doesn't Knowing that their Hua family is a well-known landlord in the suburbs of Beijing! Last time the girls in the garden wanted to set up a poetry club but had no money, so Master Bao told him to do it. As a result, the box under the bed was dragged out to look, and there were only two Ingots and silver are a few pennies. Do you think that people like us will lose the gold and silver coins of the second master Bao during the festivals, or the monthly money of the second master Bao during the weekdays?"
Mrs. Wang sat up with a cry, and said, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang only has such a young son left, why don't she care?Now hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately changed her face.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill.
Caiyun and Caixia immediately knelt down and begged Mrs. Wang for forgiveness.
Mrs. Wang said: "Shut up! What you just said, is it true?"
Caiyun Caixia hurriedly kowtowed: "Madam, we dare not lie. Everything we say is true. Madam just ask someone to check."
Mrs. Wang got up immediately, handed over to Wu Youliang's family, and gave her orders.That afternoon, Wu Youliang took people to Xiren's house, and sure enough, they found a lot of things. Besides money and fields, there were also many accessories that Jia Baoyu had used and Mrs. Jia Muwang gave to Jia Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang immediately reported to the official, threw Hua Zifang's family into the prison, and then entered the Grand View Garden aggressively with her people regardless of the night.
At first, Xiren thought that if she had Mrs. Wang's trust, anyone could have an accident, but she was the only one who had Mrs. Wang's approval, but when Mrs. Wang asked someone to drag her down for a medical examination, she panicked.
Not only Xiren, but also Bihenqiuwen and several people who were related to Jia Baoyu were also in bad luck.
In Jia Baoyu's room, Qingwen was the most beautiful, and Mrs. Wang was the most worried about this girl. Therefore, she specially told those mothers to pay attention to Qingwen. Not to mention how upset Madam Wang was that the attacker who won Mrs. Wang's heart was not clean.
Annoyed and because it was about Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang became even more angry. She even asked someone to strip off Xiren's, Bihen's, and Qiuwen's clothes and jewelry, leaving only a single piece of clothing, which was dragged away.
Annoyances can be annoyances, sons are the most important.
Mrs. Wang ordered Xiren, Bihen and Qiuwen to be dragged down, beat the rest of the maids, gave Caiyun to Jia Baoyu, and then took them away.
Jia Baoyu cried like a tearful man, Caiyun didn't even get angry when he saw Jia Baoyu like this.She is good with Jia Huan, how can she be willing to serve Jia Baoyu? ?
So when she saw Jia Baoyu crying, and the other girls were still surrounding Jia Baoyu, comforting Jia Baoyu, Caiyun snorted coldly: "Since you like those few so much, why didn't you just ask your wife for mercy? Maybe you can't do anything else, give them It’s alright to keep your clothes and save your face, right? I didn’t have the guts just now, so I’ll save cat urine now!”
Jia Baoyu hiccupped from crying: "But, but..."
"But what?" Caiyun said, "Not only them, but also Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er! Among them, Yu Chuan'er is the most unlucky. After Jin Chuan'er is gone, she won't give you good looks. But you just want to provoke She, you can just provoke her, but she fell into the eyes of the master. When Yu Chuan'er was beaten to death, why didn't you cry?"
As she spoke, Caiyun's tears also came down.
Caiyun didn't want to cry in front of Jia Baoyu, so she stomped her feet and went back to her room.
Caiyun doesn't like Jia Baoyu, so naturally she doesn't want to serve Jia Baoyu, but the more she ignores her, the more Jia Baoyu loves to come to her, but this scene fell into Jia Huan's eyes.
Caiyun was given to Jia Baoyu by Mrs. Wang, and it was none other than Jia Huan who felt the most uncomfortable. Now seeing Jia Baoyu and Caiyun flirting, Jia Huan was very angry, and ran all the way back to the house, sending the old Caiyun away. He found all the things that were given to him, and threw them on Caiyun's face, expressing that he didn't care for a girl like Caiyun who climbed high.
Caiyun was angry and impatient, but she couldn't care less, so she immediately chased after Jia Huan and dragged Jia Huan into the rockery, saying to Jia Huan, "Heaven and earth conscience, who have I been doing all these years for? Not for you! Do you think, If I have something to do with Second Master Bao, will my wife tolerate me? Isn’t it because my wife will give me to Second Master Bao because she trusts me and because I won’t provoke Second Master Bao?!”
Jia Huan lowered his head and didn't speak.
Caiyun looked around and saw that there was no one around, and there were no shadows under the trees or behind the stones, so she said, "How did you know about the attack when you are a wife?"
"Ok?"
Jia Huan is not stupid. Hearing what Caiyun said, he naturally knew that there was something else going on here.
Caiyun said: "Have you forgotten, when Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin were gone, what was the attitude of this mansion towards Miss Lin's filial piety? After Xiren's mother died, what was Xiren's wife's attitude? People are so proud of this, thinking that they have surpassed Miss Lin, and they have spoken ill of Miss Lin several times in front of Second Master Bao. You don't know what kind of person Master Qi is in the mansion? For Lin Girl, he can kill someone in front of the old lady! Xiren said bad things about Miss Lin, it's no wonder he can spare her!"
"So, this is Brother Qi..."
Caiyun said: "It's good that you know."
Saying that, he straightened Jia Huan's clothes.
Jia Huan was very embarrassed: "Sister Caiyun, I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."
"I know." Caiyun said in a low voice. After thinking about it for a while, she still whispered in Jia Huan's ear, "Brother Huan, you are not young anymore. It's like that again, you can't learn anything at all. I have already begged Master Qi over there, and he promised me that as long as you clean up well, he will let you go to the Qi family's house to study."
The Qi family, that is, Jia Yue's in-law's family, is a serious scholarly family.The Qi family's family education has produced several candidates, let alone scholars.
Hearing what Caiyun said, Jia Huan was moved to tears. He swore that he would study hard and live up to Caiyun's wishes.
Caiyun also instructed Jia Huan, and the two left.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jia Huan to go to Qi's family to study.He also knew that he could only get ahead by studying, so he worked very hard, and with two targeted training questions Caiyun Caixia asked from Jia Qi, he finally passed the scholar examination four years later.
This is all for later.
On the other hand, Caiyun turned out to be Mrs. Wang's big girl, and she had no other thoughts about Jia Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang stood behind her, so she naturally became the number one in Jia Baoyu's room.
Caiyun was quite capable, and soon, Jia Baoyu's needlework had to bother outsiders.
Caiyun will not allow the girls below to be lazy. She said on the first day she officially took office: "I know everything about the affairs of Second Master Bao's house. I am not an attacker, so I will let you be lazy. But you use the girl from your relative's house as a needleworker! Either you take the work from me every month, as long as you finish it on time, I don't care what you do in the rest of the time. Otherwise, I'm going back to my wife now, and now Let you go home!"
Where are these girls willing to go home, they have to be obedient.
Even Fangguan and Ouguan had to embroider some handkerchiefs and purses every day, so naturally they didn't have such a carefree mind.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Baolinghou came back from a trip that day, and the next day after returning to Beijing, she went to Jia's house, and Jia's mother called Caiyun to question her.
Caiyun said: "Back to the old lady, the lady, the servant girl was serving the wife before, and the days of serving the second master Bao are not very long. However,..."
"But what?"
"The servant girl asks the old lady to pardon the maidservant's innocence, so that the servant girl dares to speak."
"You said."
"The servant girl has long disliked Xiren, not only because Xiren seduced Second Master Bao, but also because Xiren deliberately manipulated the girls in Second Master Bao's house, making them play wild, while he manipulated Shi The eldest girl and Bao girl help to do needlework for her."
Jia Mu immediately asked.
Caiyun said: "Old lady, many people know about this matter. The servant girl was served by the wife's side, and it was too late when she found out. It is said that Xiren deliberately didn't send Bao Erye in the house in order to gain a virtuous name. The maids are doing the work, but I have limited ability, so I often ask Miss Shi and Miss Bao to help her. For this reason, Xiren even arranged for Miss Lin..."
"Why did you get involved with Miss Lin?"
Caiyun told Xiren and Shi Xiangyun how to arrange Lin Daiyu in front of Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu was not happy. Seeing Jia Baoyu's face, he agreed to help the attacker make Jia Baoyu's underwear.
Jiamu's face changed immediately: "When did this happen?"
Caiyun said: "Back to the old lady, the maidservant doesn't know the exact time, but the maidservant only knows that when the maidservant heard it, it was already past Miss Lin's birthday."
Mother Jia waved her hand and let Caiyun go down.
When it came to the little opera singer, Mother Jia gave up on wanting Shi Xiangyun to be Jia Baoyu's wife, but what Caiyun said today offended Jia's mother.
Shi Xiangyun even said good things about Xue Baochai to Xiren, and even said, "If I have such a sister, it's okay if I don't have parents."
Based on Shi Xiangyun's words,
Just because Shi Xiangyun helped Jia Baoyu make close-fitting clothes,
It was enough to make the girls of the Shi family hang themselves and wipe their necks!
It is also enough to discredit the aunts, aunts, and aunts who married all historians!
And the only way to make up for it is to get Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun engaged!
Mother Jia wanted this, and Mrs. Wang naturally wanted it too.
Mrs. Wang was shocked and frightened when she saw the change in Jia Mu's expression.
With a plop, she knelt down in front of Mother Jia.
Jia Mu said, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Wang trembled and said: "Old, old lady, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, please, don't, don't let Baoyu marry, marry..."
"Who to marry? Yun girl? I remember, but you praised Xiren a lot, which made her so courageous!"
"But Xiren was given to Baoyu by the old lady."
"So you're blaming me?"
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law dare not."
Mother Jia snorted coldly, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Then tell me, who do you want Baoyu to marry? You want you to name someone, as long as this person is higher than Miss Yun, as long as this person The family also agrees, and the old woman has no objection."
Mrs. Wang blushed, her mouth trembled, and she didn't fart for a long time.
Jia Cong, who is only one year older than Jia Baoyu in the east, is already a Juren. If Jia Cong hadn't been preparing to take the test three years later, he might be engaged by now.
Just imagine, in a family of nobles and nobles like Jia She, the father is a first-class supernatural general appointed by the imperial court, and the son is already a juren at a young age. Even Mrs. Wang, if she has a daughter, she is willing to marry her daughter.
But in contrast, Jia Baoyu is only one year younger than Jia Cong, and he is still messing around in the inner circle. He hasn't even gone to school for a few days, and he spends less time working as a servant for those girls than touching serious books. Long, even at a young age, he has already had skin-to-skin relationships with the girls.
If such Jia Baoyu was not Mrs. Wang's own son, Mrs. Wang herself would despise him.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang sympathized with Xue Baochai's dislike of Jia Baoyu.
Jia's mother said: "You have also seen that there is no better candidate than Yun girl. Besides, Yun girl's two uncles are Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou. If Yun girl marries Baoyu, old Two, what's the matter, don't historians help?"
Madam Wang nodded.
The matter between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu was settled in this way, but it is still in the state mourning, and it is not easy to go to the Yamen to issue a marriage certificate, so the two families exchange tokens and it is over.
Mrs. Wang originally wanted to use the good fortune to get money from Xue's family, but Jia's mother didn't want to make a bigger incident. Therefore, on this day, when the daughters-in-law on both sides came to pay their respects with the younger generations, Jia Mother announced it.
When Xue Baochai heard it, it was as if someone had punched her hard, her face turned pale.
However, apart from being uncomfortable, Xue Baochai didn't feel much humiliation in his heart. On the contrary, Xue Baochai was really relieved.
that's nice,
He's finally engaged,
My mother may be able to wake up.
Aunt Xue was able to get rid of Mrs. Wang's bewitchment, which was a great victory for Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai felt that Jia Baoyu was engaged, and he was 16 years old. Although it was said that marriage was forbidden during the national funeral, seeing each other was allowed.I am not bad in appearance, although the dowry is not as good as that of Lin Daiyu, but compared with Jia Yue and Jia Wan, it is not much worse.
It's not too late to find a good marriage for yourself.
Xue Baochai's plan was well planned, but how could Mrs. Wang let her go so easily?
Xue Pan did not come back after selling goods outside?
It's easy.
Soon, the Mei family went to the Jia family to withdraw the engagement.
The meaning of the Mei family is very clear. Jia Baoyu's reputation of being romantic and lustful has spread throughout the capital, and all the girls around him have affairs with him. How can Xue Baoqin, who lives with Jia Baoyu in the Grand View Garden, be innocent?
Xue Baoqin cried to death.
But what's the use of this?
The Mei family said it well, Xue Baoqin is only old this year, not even 13 years old, right?Even if the two families have already signed a marriage certificate, it is impossible for the Mei family to let Xue Baoqin in so early.If Xue Baoqin honestly took care of her mother at home, their Mei family would never break their promise when they were old.
What now?
Xue Baoqin actually abandoned her sickly mother to live in Grand View Garden. Their Mei family did not care about such an unfilial daughter!
Public opinion is on the side of the Mei family. Chen Yushi in front and Mrs. Jia Shexing next door will definitely not get involved in this muddy mud. So what if the Xue family gave money to Mrs. Jia Muwang?It will only make Xue Baoqin's reputation worse.
The marriage between Xue Baoqin and the Mei family ended like this. Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Wan's widow immediately took her two daughters and went to her uncle.
It was at this time that Jia Jing died and Xichun went home.
The Grand View Garden was almost half empty at once.
Xue Baoqin was divorced, and Xue Baochai was the most uncomfortable one.
She originally thought that since her cousin married the Mei family, she could take advantage of the Mei family's name to find a good marriage for herself, but now?
Xue Baoqin's resignation means that Xue Baochai's future has been cut off!
The more Xue Baochai thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and finally she couldn't hold it any longer, and she developed a fever that night.
Xue Baochai had a fever, which frightened Aunt Xue half to death. She moved Xue Baochai out of the Grand View Garden overnight, invited a doctor, and searched for century-old ginseng as medicine. The fragrant pills were dug out and fed to the cousin.
The Grand View Garden, which was still bustling yesterday, more than half of the people left at once.
Xichun went back to General Wei Lie's mansion to keep filial piety for his father, sisters Li Wen and Li Qi followed their mother to their uncle's house, sisters Xue's family moved out of the Grand View Garden, and now only Yingchun Tanchun Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu are left in the Grand View Garden. Four people only.
In this regard, Jia Qi said that he was very satisfied.
On the other side, there was also someone who was very satisfied with Jia Qi.
This is Dezhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is not a small town, and it is still a long way from the Yellow River.This time the Yellow River broke its embankment, and it was the river embankment in the north that broke. Therefore, Jiyang and Yucheng have become a whole country. The emperor thought that in Dezhou, he would see a group of people in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, and desperate. Scenes of human tragedies of selling off sons and daughters, and changing sons to eat, but the emperor never expected that he would see such a scene.
Just outside the South Gate of Dezhou, there is a row of tables, and a row of people who look like accountants are sitting behind the tables, and there is a white cloth embroidered in black on the city wall, and there are people on the city wall who are pointing at the refugees under the city wall Shout out:
"...Look carefully, look carefully, and see if the words on the paper you received match the ones on this piece of cloth. It doesn't matter if you don't know the words, as long as you are careful, don't make mistakes with the characters. Just do it!"
"...Fellow folks, Jia Shizhao in Beijing bought 90 mu of river beach land in the area of Yumenkou to dig lakes and discharge flood and sand for the Yellow River! In this way, the imperial court will be able to manage the downstream more easily. Therefore, Jia Shizhao is short of manpower, a lot of manpower. Go to work for Jia Shizhao, have food, meat, and wages, you see, "
The man held a spear without a head, and patted the hanging cloth:
"It's written on it, every man who does heavy work, look carefully, he is a man who does heavy work, 36 catties of grain per month, white rice and millet are half and half. Of course, such a little grain is definitely not enough to eat, so , This document also said that one catty of white rice is worth ten catties of sweet potatoes! If you are reluctant to eat white rice, you can ask for sweet potatoes, and eat it with millet, and you will be full! Also, every man who does heavy work gets a chicken every ten days One duck and one rabbit! That is to say, if you don’t eat in the cafeteria, you can get the ingredients and go home and make it yourself. If you eat in the cafeteria, there are tickets in the cafeteria, meal tickets for meals, meat tickets for meat, and vegetables for vegetables Tickets! Everyone eats with tickets! Listen carefully, this is a man who does heavy work, and a man who does not do heavy work is just like a woman."
"The wages are also calculated every ten days! The first year is [-] yuan a month. That is to say, as long as you work for Jia Shizhao, you can still get money in addition to the meal tickets in the cafeteria. But , everyone knows that as a human being, one has to pay a tax. As for the tax, Jia Shizhao has already won the lowest for us, which is [-] yuan a year, that is to say, ten yuan a day! This money Well, it will be paid by Jia Shizhao, so, in the end, in the first year, everyone can get only ten coins per day, and the other ten coins will be taxed. However, as long as you have worked for one year, that is, you have paid for one year Ding tax, you can settle in the local area, and your household registration is counted as a tenant farmer! If you continue to work for Jia Shizhao, you can still eat in the cafeteria, but your salary is not [-] yuan a month, but based on seniority, For every additional year, you will get an extra [-] Wen a month, and once a year. Of course, if you have the ability to work in Jia Shizhao’s workshop or shop, the salary will naturally be more.”
"Of course, when it comes to men, there are women. Jia Shizhao needs so many men to help with work, so it is natural for women to help with chores, such as washing clothes for heavy labor, cooking, and of course, there are other things. For example, women are definitely required in textile workshops, and women are also required to take care of abandoned babies. So, girls and daughters-in-law of various families, take care, women, as long as they are 15 years old, they also have to pay the small tax. However, you only need to pay half of men's, that is, [-] Wen a year, so your wages are only half of men's. Similarly, considering your appetite is not as good as men's, the food part is only two-thirds of men's. Take a look, women’s wages are half of men’s, and their food is two-thirds of men’s. Similarly, after one year of working and paying the small tax, you can also settle down, and your household registration is the same as tenants...”
The person above shouted hoarsely to the people below, explaining all men and women, old people and children one by one, and a large group of people below lined up in order, standing in front of more than 30 tables in a row, listening Accountant’s questioning, and then pressed his fingerprints on each piece of paper, and took a few thick pieces of paper that were about an inch long and the thickness of a finger—these pieces of paper were their rations for the past few days. If you are on an errand, you will naturally get more tickets, even cloth tickets-go to the side, take the paper and replace it with a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach, and then someone will take them to wait elsewhere.It is said that when the weather is better and the boat comes, they will go upstream.
Although these common people are still dragging their children and taking care of their daughters, and although these common people are still dressed in rags, the emperor saw much better than the time more than ten years ago.
The spirits of these people are good, at least, they still have hope.
The emperor looked around for a long time, then carefully looked at the refugees, and suddenly said: "This little thing, no wonder he is short of money! 36 catties of grain a month! White rice and millet are half and half! This is not a small amount. .”
Immediately someone said: "Long live, I want to impeach, Jia Shizhao is buying people's hearts."
The emperor took a deep look at those people and said, "If he had a different heart, he would not have taken in so many women and children. The children are fine, so what can women do?"
