Baochai is a happy wife [Red Mansion]

The Ningguo Mansion is not considered to be down, it can only be counted as a decline, and then it is gone.This kind of one is pretty good, at least not committing a major crime, not really being ransacked, or just moving from a big house to a small house, and still has an official position.

It's just that in a few years, I don't know if the official position is still there.

As far as what Jia Zhen and the others did before, what happened to Qin Keqing alone was not something they could bear.

Qin Keqing is a member of the royal family, but these people probably haven't thought of this.After all, Qin Keqing had passed away for many years, and they still felt that what they did was right.

No one will explain this kind of thing to Jia Zhen and others, and it's hard to say.This kind of thing is hidden, it depends on the mood of the emperor.

The Xue family had nothing to do with the Ningguo Mansion, so it's okay, and there is no need to worry about them.

"Take more children." Xue Baochai handed the baby to Situ Jin and asked him to hug him more. The other party went out early this morning and didn't hug the baby much.

Xue Baochai still wants to treat the child better, she thinks that even if she has the memory of the upper world, she can't just ignore the child.Maybe her life in these years is just a snap of her fingers for herself in the upper world, but she believes in herself.

It is difficult to change a person's nature, especially the kind of immortal who does not know how many years he has lived, it is even more difficult to change.

Situ Jin hugged the baby, and felt like staring at the baby.

"It's been a bit of a mess outside these few days." Situ Jin said, "But it's not too messy, it's just that someone might want to hide something."

Those old ministers didn't want to pay back the money owed by the Ministry of Households, and didn't want to take things back, so they wanted to hide things.This is not a good thing.It is also impossible for the emperor to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. Since these old officials are to be rectified, they must be rectified in place.

If it is not enough to pay back, then it is still a matter of their official functions not being kept.Even if the official position is kept, the original house may not be kept, and they have to live in a smaller house.

Situ Jin didn't care much about these things, they were all things of the secular world, and they should be.If the emperor has no courage, how can he secure the throne.

"Didn't go out." It was impossible for Xue Baoqin to wade into the muddy water, besides, she was a weak woman now, how could she wade into the muddy water, did she lend money to others?impossible!

She felt that she would not have to worry about the children she would have in the future without spiritual roots, so she would not have to think about saving more money for the children in the future.

Xue Baochai felt that it was not easy for her and Situ Jin to have such a child. Who knows when the next one will come?

"En." Situ nodded slightly.

The Xue family, Madam Xue and Patriarch Xue have not seen any visitors for a while.Those people all thought that Xue's family had money, but someone sent an idea to Xue's family, wanting to borrow money from Xue's family.

Hehe, if you lend out money, it will never come back.

If their Xue family is a fool, of course it is impossible to lend money to them.

When Xue Pan was away, he also encountered people who asked him to borrow money. If it was more than a dozen taels, he would borrow it, but if it was more than a hundred taels, he had to consider it.As for these young masters, it may not be easy to find and pay back the money when the time comes. Those who owe money are all uncles.

Xue Pan's wife, Hu's natal family, has someone here. Of course, her natal family is not here to ask her to borrow money, but to keep her stable.

Mrs. Hu deliberately explained to her daughter that the Xue family is now the uncle's residence, and Xue Pan has a good future.If there is no Hu family, he can still marry someone else. If Xue Pan does not want the Hu family, he can also divorce his wife without reconciliation.

"Anxin, my daughter can understand." Hu said with a smile, "I have already contacted some of the Xue family's business."

Mrs. Hu understands that the Xue family's plan is to continue the Xue family's business, and Xue Pan is not easy to touch, that is her and Xue Pan's child.In addition, the Xue family is regarded as the emperor's money bag. The Xue family is too rich, and Xue Pan cannot be a high-ranking official, and so are the descendants of the Xue family.

The official position is not high, but as long as the Xue family is stable and does not encounter a foolish emperor, then the Xue family can maintain its long-term prosperity and wealth.

Those businesses originally belonged to the Xue family, not the royal family, and there was no reason for the royal family to send someone to take them over.If there is such a day, it is estimated that they do not need to be loyal to the emperor.

"That's because your parents-in-law value you." Mrs. Hu nodded, "The Xue family is also simple, there are no such messy people, so we should cherish it."

Xue Pan currently does not have a concubine room, and only takes a concubine when he is forty childless. This is the Xue family's promise to the Hu family.Of course Hu knew what she should do. She was able to do business so well before, so she was naturally not a fool, and she was not a person who was very oriented towards her natal family. She didn't think about subsidizing her natal family more, and her natal family didn't need her subsidies.

"I haven't done much yet." Mrs. Hu looked at her lower abdomen, "I still have to give birth to a child."

Mrs. Hu didn't think about showing it. The most important thing now is to have a child. You have to have a son first. If you have a daughter, it doesn't matter. You will have a son later.

If a man strives for strength, a woman's belly must also strive for strength. Hu didn't mean to be patriarchal, he is a woman himself, so what is there to look down on a woman.It's just that the Xue family needs an heir, and she also needs a son so that she can take charge of the Xue family's business in the future. If she has more sons, that's fine.

A child can't be a big official, but it's okay to be a small official. He can keep his glory and live a good life.

Hu also thought that if she had children, she must teach them well and not let her brother Ni Qiang.

In the first-class general's mansion, Mrs. Jia was much haggard, and she didn't come out much.After Jia Yuanchun's death, Mrs. Jia's health was not very good, and she was not as energetic as before. Later, the emperor asked all the houses to pay back the money owed by the household department.

Because there was not so much money in the mansion, Wang Xifeng planned to cut down the maids and servants in the mansion. There were only a few masters in the mansion, so there was no need to use so many maids and servants.

Some servants have stayed in the mansion for many years, and some servants went to find Madam Jia, they didn't want to leave.Working in the first-class general's mansion, they don't have to do too many things, and they can get a lot of money, and sometimes they can be lazy, so of course they want to stay.

If I go to other places, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a leisurely thing to do.Besides, if they go out, where will they go?

Under such circumstances, of course they want to stay.

Mrs. Jia is indeed soft-hearted, but she also knows that what she said in the mansion will not work.Wang Xifeng had already given her face without touching her Rongqingtang, and did not reduce the cost of Rongqingtang, so Mrs. Jia didn't say much, but still called Wang Xifeng over.

"Is the money paid back?" Mrs. Jia asked, the people from the household department have already left, and I heard that the people from the Ningguo Mansion next door have moved out of the Guogong Mansion and lived in a house outside.

"Return it." Wang Xifeng nodded, "There is only 2 taels of silver left in the public house, and those calligraphy and paintings were also brought back to the people in the household department to pay for those owed money. Father also took out a lot of things, It's all used to pay off, and I also took some money from the dowry."

"Your dowry?" Mrs. Jia frowned. Is it true that there is no money in the house?

"In the past, the money given to the empress in the palace was almost a million taels of silver." Wang Xifeng mentioned this point, "In addition, the mansion has been unable to make ends meet these years, and there is no income, so there is even less money. The money from the household department has to be paid back, so I can only grit my teeth and find a way to pay it back."

Wang Xifeng has already said such things, so Mrs. Jia can't say any more about why there is not so much money in the mansion.She recalled that when she asked Wang Xifeng to give money to Jia Yuanchun, she did ask many times, and sometimes it was very unpleasant.

"Those servants... are there so many?" Mrs. Jia still asked.

"It won't work to keep them out of the mansion. The public doesn't have that much money. How can we feed them?" Wang Xifeng said, "I won't talk about where they live. There is a place to live in the mansion. It's just food. How much do you eat a day? With monthly money, they have to make clothes every year..."

Wang Xifeng counted them down one by one, and told Mrs. Jia how much money was spent to support these people.

Mrs. Jia was in charge of the house and knew that it was a considerable expense, but she didn't think it was too much because she had money at home.If the public really doesn't have that much money, it's not easy to let those servants continue to stay.

"You can do it." Mrs. Jia didn't say much, she was buried in the soil, so she didn't care what to do.Why bother to make things difficult for Wang Xifeng for those servants, there is no need, she still has to live in the mansion, as long as the big house doesn't reduce her expenses.

Back then, when Jia Yuanchun spent so much money, Mrs. Jia didn't take out more money from her private room.Taking it from the public house is completely different from taking it from the private house. It doesn’t hurt to take it from the public house, but it hurts to take it from the private house.

Mrs. Jia originally wanted to talk about Jia Baoyu, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.Jia Baoyu's matter had caused a lot of uproar before, and Jia Yuanchun must have been affected. Now, Jia Yuanchun is gone, and the funeral is not beautiful, so let's not talk about Jia Baoyu's matter for the time being.

When these people repaid the debt owed by the Ministry of Accounts, Shi Xiangyun remarried and got married.

After Jia Baoyu learned about it, he was really sad, but there was nothing he could do.His sadness is easy to get over, and the beautiful maid beside him will coax her a few words, and she will be happy.

When Mrs. Jia knew that Shi Xiangyun was remarried, she didn't say much.She just felt that Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu should not have been engaged in the first place, and they should not have been married, and Jia Baoyu was really... Mrs. Jia didn't know how to say it.

"Old lady." Yuanyang brought hot soup to Mrs. Jia, she was worried about the old lady, she was worried that the old lady would go with Jia Yuanchun.

It's been cold recently, that is, the daytime is warmer, and it's easy to catch cold in such weather.Especially the elderly and children should pay more attention.

"Am I, an old lady, taking too much care?" Mrs. Jia said, "I take care of it all the time, but I don't manage it well."

"You have good intentions." Yuanyang dare not say that Mrs. Jia is not, of course it means that Mrs. Jia is good.

"What good intentions are, in the eyes of others, it's partiality and too much control." Mrs. Jia sighed. She used to think that her mother-in-law was partiality, and now these people also think that she is partiality. It's the same.

She is indeed eccentric, partial to the second room, and feels that the second room gets too little.But now...just Jia Yuanchun spent so much money, and Jia Baoyu also spent a lot of money when he was in the mansion.

The second room is not a disadvantage, Mrs. Jia thought so.
