[Comprehensive] Hanjiang Snow 3

Over the years, the Sheng family's focus has been on Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng, who are about to take the imperial examination. Even a busy person like Sheng Hong spares time every day to tutor his two sons in their studies, and tries his best to put himself in the imperial examination. Tell them about your experience at that time.

In the school, because of the imperial examination, the girls' schoolwork was temporarily suspended, and they only resumed classes after the imperial examination.

Because Mrs. Wang has such a good housekeeper and helper as Jiang Xue, she almost puts the power of Zhongfei in the hands of her daughter, and she cares about Sheng Changbai wholeheartedly.

I personally take care of everything about basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, for fear that something wrong will affect Sheng Changbai's studies.

Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Molan were even more so. There was another Xu Xiaoniang in the house, and Lin Sushuang was so stressed that she could hardly breathe. No matter how much she expected, she put all her thoughts on her sons and daughters, especially Sheng Changfeng, who was her lifelong reliance and caring.

For a while, the Sheng Mansion was calm and peaceful, and the days were comfortable.

It's just such a peaceful day, but one day there was a turmoil, which was caused by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang actually learns from others to lend usury outside.

"Mother, who told you this method of putting interest money?" Jiang Xue asked directly, holding the account book.Mrs. Wang is simple-minded. Although the Sheng family is not very rich, they have never worried about money. If she was herself, she would never think of giving interest.There must be someone instigating behind this.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect her daughter to be aware of this, and a guilty conscience suddenly floated on her face. Seeing Jiang Xue's complexion was a little uncomfortable, she said, "Ru'er, although this way of making money is a bit inappropriate, but there are many Officials and eunuchs are all like this, so don't worry about it." It's just that although she said this, she was very guilty in her words.

"Mother, you are too confused." Jiang Xue sighed, seeing what Mrs. Wang wanted to say, she opened her mouth first: "...Do you know how serious it is to put usury? It's not just harmful to morality , if someone finds out, my father's career will be affected, even my second brother's career will be affected, and in severe cases, the whole family will even be questioned. Mother, how can you be so confused. "

In fact, it was not as serious as what Jiang Xue said, but the reason why she said this was to scare Mrs. Wang so that she would not think about it in the future.You must know that if the lending of interest really leads to the destruction of the family, what Jiang Xue said is not impossible.

Mrs. Wang was really taken aback when she heard Jiang Xue's words: "It's normal, how could it be so serious?" But her wandering eyes and guilty tone had already betrayed her current mood.

"Mother, I am facing Article 8 of Chapter 12 No. [-] of the sixth volume of the Criminal Law: lending money and debts and pawning property, the monthly interest shall not exceed three cents, although there are many years, it is only one interest. Violators will be whipped for four years." Ten, if the stolen goods are calculated based on the surplus profits, the stolen goods will be counted." Jiang Xue looked into the eyes of Mrs. Wang and said straightforwardly.

"This, how could it be?" Mrs. Wang was a little dumbfounded for a while when she heard this. As serious as it is, just thinking that everyone is like this, I want to save more money for myself. I didn't expect such consequences, I don't know, if I knew, I would never dare to do this."

His voice was trembling, showing that he was really frightened.

Some bewildered people said again: "Then, what should we do now?"

Jiang Xue patted Mrs. Wang's hand reassuringly, and said, "Okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose. Mother, you don't have to be so anxious. The time is still short and nothing happened. It's not too serious Turn around." The tone was a bit seductive: "...but mother, you tell me first, who told you about the way to put usury?"

"It's your aunt." Mrs. Wang replied.

"Aunt? The one who married into the Kang family." Jiang Xue asked.

When Mrs. Wang heard Jiang Xue's words, her mind became more stable: "Aren't you just such a direct aunt for what you child said?"

Jiang Xue didn't have a good impression of her as a direct aunt, she didn't say much, she didn't have any good intentions, her eyes were calculating, and her tone of voice was full of sourness and jealousy, only Mrs. Wang was simple-minded and couldn't see Just come out.

It's just that Jiang Xue didn't want to argue with Mrs. Wang on this issue.

"Mother, don't think about anything during this time, just take care of the second brother's basic necessities. Can you leave the usury to me?" Jiang Xue's eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness, but the expression The tone is soft.

Mrs. Wang still had great trust in her youngest daughter's way of running the family, she nodded her head, but said after a while: "There is also your aunt, you should also send someone to write a letter to explain the benefits to her clearly. Don't let her get into trouble with the family for some money."

"Don't worry. I will." Jiang Xue smiled.

Of course, she will not only explain clearly to her, but also settle accounts with her.

Mrs. Wang's boudoir name is Wang Ruofu, and she is the legitimate second daughter of Mr. Wang, the left servant of the household department. However, although she is a legitimate daughter, she did not grow up with her parents since she was a child, but was fostered in her uncle's house since she was a child.Although my uncle is a businessman's family, the population of the family is simple, the husband and wife are loving, and the sisters are also peaceful. The lady Wang who grew up in such an environment has a straightforward temperament and can't hide her words.

On the contrary, this Aunt Kang, who lived with her parents since she was a child, was spoiled by her parents and elder brothers, she is beautiful and capable, and her family background is not bad, so her heart is also high.The family that Empress Jiji married was also the Kang family, which was still considered a noble family at that time.

At one point, he laughed at Mrs. Wang for marrying a concubine.

Who would have thought that in the 30 years in Hedong and the 30 years in Hexi, Uncle Kang was not only greedy and lustful, but also very incompetent.After the second elder of the Kang family passed away, Uncle Kang lost all of the family's shop and property in just a few years. After that, the whole family lived on Aunt Kang's dowry. Aunt Kang was not a good earner. Her dowry was already stretched thin.

After the whole family of the Sheng family moved to Bianjing, Aunt Kang came over several times, saying that she came to see her sister and nephew, but in reality it was to play the autumn wind, and she often coaxed away money from Mrs. Wang.But every time Nian she comes over, Mrs. Wang is really happy, and the Sheng family is not short of that little money, so Jiang Xue doesn't care about it, she just takes the money to buy Mrs. Wang's happiness.

But she didn't expect that she coaxed Mrs. Wang to release the usury in private. She can guarantee that Mrs. Wang won at most a small part of the interest from the loan shark, and most of it went into Aunt Kang's pocket.

It seems that she was overweight.

Thinking that with her staring at her, Aunt Kang would not be able to cause any serious trouble, but unexpectedly...the slap was really loud.

However, it also completely dispelled the arrogance in her heart.

Jiang Xue has never been sloppy in doing things, and now that she knows it, she will naturally handle it cleanly and crisply.As for the usury matter, Mrs. Wang has only started it for less than three months, and the time is short, and there has not been any trouble, so it is not troublesome to deal with it.

It's just that although the usury matter has been dealt with, Jiang Xue has no intention of letting it go.

Some of the servants in this mansion saw that the master's family was kind, and their hearts gradually grew up a lot, especially some 'old people' who had worked in the Sheng family for three generations, because they had the mentality of killing chickens to scare monkeys, Jiang Xue didn't show much sympathy in rectifying the servants this time.

Not to mention those in the mansion who like to be lazy, act adulterously, drink and gamble in private, or are sold or dismissed, none of them are missed, and everyone in the Sheng mansion is in danger for a while, and they are more diligent in doing things than before Quite a lot.

And among the handlers this time, there is Sheng Rulan's wet nurse's family, she doesn't need a wet nurse who always wants to restrain her.

Previously, the wet nurse seemed to have a little problem, but Mrs. Wang thought of her affection for nursing Jiang Xue, so she turned a blind eye.But since Jiang Xue gained the power of Zhongfu, the nursing mother has more careful thoughts. Sometimes she wants to ask for a future for her children, and sometimes she wants to ask for an errand for a man. Even she herself also wants to intervene in the kitchen shopping errand.

Jiang Xue had whispered to her a long time ago, if Mrs. Wang hadn't suppressed her, saying that she was afraid of being dismissed for no reason and fearing the hearts of the servants in the mansion, she would have sent the family out long ago.It just so happened that, taking advantage of this big deal, she gave some money to the wet nurse's family and released them into slavery, making them good citizens.

No one can say that Jiang Xue is not good at all. Could it be said that being a good citizen is not better than being a slave.

As for Aunt Kang, Jiang Xue didn't plan to let her go, she was a scumbag, if she didn't deal with it in time, something might happen in the future.So she made Aunt Kang fall ill cleanly and crisply, and let her linger on the sick bed, so as not to cause any trouble again.

"Ms. Wang is lucky, and the children she gave birth to are not bad!" After watching Jiang Xue's handling of the slaves, Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but sighed to her confidant, Fang Nu, "...I always thought that the fifth girl had a gentle temperament. , but I don't want to, she is the most decisive among the sisters, and in this regard, the sixth girl is worse than her."

"Our sixth girl is also very good, gentle and obedient, and intelligent. She can reveal a lot of things at once." Mother Fang said, "Besides, is it not right now? With the help of fifth girl, the eldest lady You can rest easy."

Coincidentally, a young girl wearing a light purple jacket came over, her face was beautiful, and her neat bangs made her look more cute and gentle. It was Sheng Minglan, the sixth girl who was raised under Mrs. Sheng's lap, and came slowly with a tray. , saluted, and said with a gentle smile: "Grandmother, my granddaughter saw that your throat seemed to be a little uncomfortable these two days, so I asked someone to make you stewed pears with Chuanbei. It is the most effective in reducing phlegm and relieving cough."

"Good boy." Hearing these words, Old Madam Sheng felt extremely warm in her heart, and her words were more gentle.

The way Nanny Fang looked at Sheng Minglan became more gentle.

Miss had a hard life in her life, her concubine was indifferent, and Lin Sushuang disturbed her daughter-in-law who had been chosen by herself. Now that she is old, it is good to have such a caring child at her knees.
