Baochai is a happy wife [Red Mansion]

Wang Ziteng can still get some news, and he also told Jia Lian.As for Jia Amnesty, Wang Ziteng would rather trust Jia Lian than think that Jia Amnesty would do more.If Jia Amnesty had the ability, he would have been able to, and Jia Lian was a little better.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be spread all at once, otherwise those people would try to put pressure on the emperor before the Chinese New Year, which would not be a good thing.

There are always some veterans who rely on the old to sell the old, thinking that the royal family should treat them well, and think that their ancestors have made merit.But how many years have passed, and how many merits have these people made now? Many of them are from their ancestors. It is true that the merits of their ancestors can be enjoyed by generations to come.

Wang Ziteng had known for a long time that the emperor would deal with these people sooner or later, and now the time is almost right.

Before, the emperor even asked the concubines in the harem to visit their relatives, and some of them built a particularly good family visitation courtyard.These people don't have the money to pay back the treasury, but they have the money to build other houses. Don't be an emperor and a fool.

When Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he talked to Wang Xifeng about the money owed by the household department. Wang Xifeng's face was not good-looking at all.The second room was divided, and the second room didn't have to pay back the money. Even if they went to the second room, it was impossible for the second room to pay.

When Wang Xifeng thought about it, he felt that the eldest house was really pitiful. He gave Jia Yuanchun so much money to enter the palace, but in the end he didn't get any benefits, it was all for the second wife.

"There is only 10,000+ taels of silver left in the public house." Wang Xifeng couldn't help it, even if the second room was separated, but the second room was there before, and it cost a lot of money before.There is also the provincial hospital, what Mrs. Jia is staring at is to ask them to pay more money.

It is impossible to dismantle and sell the Grand View Garden, and the materials will not be sold for much money.

The key point is that Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun burned several houses in the Grand View Garden, but the mansion has not been repaired yet, all of which cost money.

It's not easy to get together millions of taels of silver.

Wang Xifeng's dowry was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.It is also impossible for her to take out all the dowry, so it can only be those antique calligraphy and paintings in the public house, but if she sells them now, the price will be lowered, and they cannot be sold for a lot of money.

Even if you sell those antique calligraphy and paintings, it's still bad, and there are few such things in the public.

Back then, Mrs. Wang made some money when she was in charge of Zhongfei.Later, Mrs. Xing's housekeeper was okay, but Mrs. Xing followed Mrs. Jia, and some things were taken by the second room.When Wang Xifeng was in charge of the house, there were very few things in the public house, and there were even fewer exchanges between people.

If you exchange favors, others will return.But don't forget, the Jia family is not as good as it used to be, and the Jia family has to go to please others and give more gifts.

In this way, the things in the public are not so durable.If you really sell all the things in the public house, then no matter how you deal with people in the future, you still have to keep some things.What's more, even if they are all sold, it is estimated that they will get together 60 million taels of silver, which is still poor.

"I still have some things over there." Jia Lian had something left to him by his dead mother. His mother was born in a big family, otherwise how could he marry into Rongguo Mansion, which was still prosperous at that time, "Father There should be one over there."

Jia Amnesty was once very much loved by his grandmother, Mrs. Jia's mother-in-law, and she had a lot of things in her hands.

It is precisely because Jia She was raised by his grandmother since he was a child that Mrs. Jia was not close to Jia She and became closer to Jia Zheng. She also thought that Jia She got a lot of things, but Jia Zheng had too little.Mrs. Jia wanted to subsidize Jia Zheng in various ways, and she wanted the second room to have more things. She also felt that Jia Amnesty was not as good as Jia Zheng.

Jia Lian thought about it carefully, and if he could raise a million taels of silver, he could still get it together, but he would have to hurt his muscles and bones.After repaying the money owed by the Ministry of Households, there will not be so much money in the house, and there will be no way to give so many things in the future.

"Alas." Wang Xifeng sighed, "If we save a little bit in the future, we'll be fine, but the old lady can't save it. There are many favors from outsiders. There used to be more, but now there are fewer. I don't know what will happen. Fortunately, the one who owes money to the household department There are a lot of people, so I should be able to take it easy."

"En." Jia Lian nodded, hoping to slow down.

On New Year's Eve, Xue Baochai held the child to watch the fireworks outside, but she didn't dare to freeze the child, so she put on two extra clothes for him.

"It doesn't matter, he's not that weak." Situ Jin said, his son was born differently, he was born as a god, how could he be so easily chilled by the air-conditioning of the secular world.

Situ Jin looked at the little baby, the little baby's snot...

Well, he doesn't want to talk about his son anymore, his son is very good at pretending.

"Put on more." Situ Jin wondered if the baby wanted to pretend to be sick, "Don't worry too much, worrying too much is bad for your health."

little baby:……

The little baby received his father's message, that is, he should not make his mother worry too much.

"I know." Xue Baochai nodded, "Just let him watch the fireworks outside, it's the first New Year's Eve."

Situ Jin hugged her sweetheart with a smile on her face, "It's the first time, and we will live together from now on."

"If we're retreating and going to a secret place, how can we go together?" Xue Baochai asked.

"..." Situ Jin thought to himself, as expected, he couldn't speak casually, such words were indeed easy to find flaws, "When I didn't go!"

"That's right." Xue Baochai said.

"Yes, that's right." Situ Jin said with a smile, and only hoped that her sweetheart could say the same when she remembered everything.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Xue Baochai and Situ Jin went to Xue's house, and Xue Baoqin and her husband also went to Xue's house.Mei Hanlin estimated that he would wait until May and June before being transferred to the capital. There was still a period of time in between, and Xue Baoqin was naturally also in the capital.

Mrs. Xue and the others are in Jinling, it is impossible for Xue Baoqin to go to Jinling to pay New Year's greetings, that is to go to Patriarch Xue's side with her husband.

Because the Xue family is not bad now, Mrs. Mei's attitude towards Xue Baoqin is not bad, but my sister-in-law likes to say that Xue Baochai's pearl hairpin is beautiful, and that thing is beautiful.How could Xue Baoqin not know what her sister-in-law meant, that she wanted her to give something for nothing.

This mouth can't be opened, Xue Baoqin will give it when she wants to, and don't give it when she doesn't want to.

It was impossible for Xue Baoqin to wait for her sister-in-law to speak in front of her husband. She had to say a few words first, and she had to say a few words in front of Mrs. Mei.

The Xue family's money is not blown by strong winds, and her dowry is not inexhaustible. Don't wear things out. People will see that this thing belongs to her, and that thing also belongs to her. , At that time, the reputation of the Mei family girl will be lost.

Or is it just to wear it at home, or if you want to go out of Beijing in the future, you can just ask for it?Or do you want to show that they have a good relationship?

Of course, in front of Mrs. Mei, Xue Baoqin not only said that sister-in-law wanted her things, but also said that she wanted to leave things to her son, who would be Mrs. Mei's future grandson.Xue Baoqin deliberately showed that her daughter is always married out, and she will not leave much to her daughter in the future, but will leave it to her son.

People like Mrs. Mei like to be greedy for cheap and spoil their daughters.But compared to her daughter, Mrs. Mei cared more about her children and grandchildren, thinking that what Xue Baoqin said was right, if her daughter took everything away and brought it to her husband's house in the future, then what should I do.

What's more, it's not that Xue Baoqin didn't give things to Miss Mei, it's just that she didn't give everything.

In this way, Xue Baoqin's husband can understand that Mrs. Mei doesn't want her daughter to take everything from her grandson.Not to mention that those are things for women, so what if they are used by women, they can still be exchanged for money.

When Xue Baoqin and Xue Baochai talked alone, they talked about the situation of the Mei family.

"We're all married, and we have to live on." Xue Baoqin sighed, "If it wasn't for my husband, he would still listen to what he said and didn't blindly spoil his sister, otherwise I really don't know what to do. It's okay in the capital now, but I'm afraid Out of the capital..."

Xue Baoqin was a little worried that after they left the capital, they thought that the emperor was far away, and the Xue family was far away, so they made all kinds of troubles.

"They still want to go back to Beijing and get promoted." Xue Baochai said, "As long as they think about this, they won't dare to make too much noise."

"That's right." Xue Baoqin nodded slightly.

Xue Baoqin also understands that not every family is easy to get along with. Under the same roof, conflicts are inevitable.To the Mei family, she is an outsider, and her daughter-in-law was married from outside, so she is easy to be regarded as an outsider.

Xue Baochai's husband also said a few words to Situ Jin, Situ Jin said less, Xue Pan said more.

Xue Pan's wife Hu Shi brought fruit to Xue Baoqin and Xue Baochai, and talked to them with a smile.

After leaving Xue's house, Xue Baoqin's husband also said that Situ Jin was rather cold.

"He's from the royal family." After Xue Baoqin said this, her husband didn't dare to say more.Immediately afterwards, Xue Baoqin continued, "My husband has lived in the capital for so many years, so I should know some rumors about my brother-in-law, and I should also know his temperament."

"..." Xue Baoqin's husband felt that Situ Jin treated him fairly well when he thought about it. He didn't speak ill of him, but he also said a few words to him.

Seeing her husband's expression softening again, Xue Baoqin couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart.Don't expect others to treat you well, you have to see how the Mei family is, or you have to work hard on your own.

Before the first month came out, there was bad news from the palace that Jia Yuanchun was gone.

Jia Yuanchun really wanted to survive the first month, but his health was too poor to survive.Jia Yuanchun was originally a very temperamental person, and just in time for the Chinese New Year, some concubines were promoted in the palace, and they were promoted uniformly.

Previously, Jia Yuanchun was promoted to the title of Xiande concubine alone.Some women in the harem haven't been promoted for many years, and Concubine Shu's seat is vacant, so she also fills it.

And Jia Yuanchun herself was a virtuous concubine, so naturally she didn't get promoted again, and neither did the noble concubine. Those who were promoted were basically those low-ranking old people who had served the emperor for many years.

Concubine Leng, who had conflicts with Jia Yuanchun earlier, was promoted to concubine Shu. The women in the position of concubine either had no children, or only had daughters.The emperor did this on purpose, just to let those princes rest their minds, don't even think about fighting for the crown prince, don't even think about fighting for the throne.

Concubines and other low-ranking women who originally gave birth to princes thought that they could be promoted to a higher level and think about the position of concubine. They never expected that it was because they gave birth to sons that they were not destined for the position of concubine.

The emperor is a cruel man.

After Concubine Leng became Concubine Shu, she didn't deliberately show off in front of Jia Yuanchun.But Jia Yuanchun couldn't bear it himself, when he heard the news, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.

In a few days, Jia Yuanchun went in the first month.
