old lady in red

Yang Shi nodded: "I can only trouble Auntie."

Shi Mei accompanied Yang Shi through the detour to the gate of Huifang Garden, and whispered privately to Yang Shi: "I checked carefully, Rong'er's grandma is very nice, and she is very patient with him.

However, Rong'er, I'm afraid that you and Jing'er will have to worry more from now on.

Not to mention how the stepmother is, the first thing is that Zhen'er doesn't recognize him.

This child probably doesn't mean anything to Zhen'er.You have to plan early and don't force your children to resent. "

Yang sighed again: "Auntie, this is a golden word.

People's hearts are not biased, not to mention Rong'er's mother, who almost ruined Miss Yu's life.

Zhen'er suspects his bloodline again, even his parents can't point it out.

What a twist of fate, they were supposed to be mother and son..."

Yang wiped her tears and left: "Auntie is tired, so I will entrust Rong'er to Auntie for the time being."

Shi Mei only felt emotional in her heart.

Nothing is perfect in this world.

Ms. Yu entered the door, and the scandal of gathering together probably won't happen.

The ugliness of Eryou in the Red Chamber will never happen again.

But Jia Rong's situation is not good.

Don't look at Jia Rong as a little boy, he can turn into a wolf if he is in a hurry.

I hope that Mo will change from gathering to patricide.

There are no patricides in history.

Most of them are due to the fatuousness of their fathers.He was repeatedly persecuted and had to resist.

The deposed prince is an example.

It's just that the abolished prince failed.

Shi Mei sighed secretly.

Among the three generations of Ning Mansion, it is doomed not to be kind to father and son to filial piety!

Rongqingtang originally had many children, so it would not be a big deal to have one more little Rong'er.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong and even Yuan Chun all liked Rong'er very much.

After all, Jia Rong was born beautiful, and her mouth was willing to make people laugh, and her uncles and aunts couldn't stop laughing.

Kiss whoever hugs.

The few children provoked are particularly novel.

The horse race also brought Jia Rong along, and Jia Rong had a share in everything he ate.

Apart from Shimei, Jia Rong also likes Zhang very much.

The milk on Zhang's body was not clean, and there was still some milky fragrance left.

Jia Rong still likes Jia Zhang very much. When the nanny misunderstood him, he fell in love with Zhang'er.

He also imitated the nanny, touching Zhang'er's little buttocks, and if he got wet, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Grandmother, nanny, little uncle is peeing."

Later, Jia Rong reminded the adults from time to time.

The little uncle's peeing became a joke in Rongxi Hall.

It wasn't until Jia Zhang's full age that the joke disappeared.

Shi Mei didn't expect that Jia Rong's reliance on Rongqingtang would take root in Rongqingtang and become a child of Rongfu.

Not only did he not mention going back, his grandmother Yang came to pick him up, but he also avoided going back.

He also said to Yang in all seriousness: "Grandmother, don't worry, Uncle Zhu, Uncle Lian, and Uncle Cong have all said that they want to take me in as their son.

If they have food to eat, I will have food to eat.

Besides, I have something to do here, and I have to take care of Uncle Zhang'er, so I'm busy. "

Shi Mei glanced at them, and saw these boys who love to take advantage.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, and Jia Cong shrank their heads: They were joking, but I didn't expect Rong'er to take it seriously.

Yang shi didn't take it seriously, she felt in her heart that Rong'er was getting along with these uncles, and there would be someone to take care of her in the future.

However, from now on, as long as there is no important matter in Yang's mansion, most of the time will be spent in Rongqingtang.

Help Shimei take care of several children.

Take care of their basic necessities of life.

The purpose is that the grandson Jia Rong can learn well, so that he will not be alone when he grows up, and there will be someone to help him.

Yang also quietly told Shi Mei that Jia Jing said that in the future, his savings will be shared equally with Jia Zhenrong'er, and he will not be left without food.

Yang shi sighed as she spoke, and speaking of it, it was all the fault of his Yang family.

Now the Yang family has received retribution, the old mother is paralyzed, his elder brother beats his wife all the time, the son is disabled, and the daughter-in-law ran away.

Mrs. Yang has become a rough woman who rolls up her sleeves and fights for an egg and a handful of vegetables.

Yang shook her head: Back then, they wished they could swallow the entire Ningguo Mansion...

But he said Lin Ruhai.

In April of this year, His Majesty sent out all eight inspectors and imperial envoys.

Then, Ruhai's patrol salt censor is still helping in the household department.

Within half a month, Lin Ruhai received a formal notice to leave Beijing for a tour of salt at the end of April.

Right now is the golden time for drying salt.

Lin Ruhai, the patrol censor, is about to pack up and set off.

At this time, Jia Min was really in a dilemma.

Children who are less than three months old are definitely not suitable for traveling and traveling.

The most important thing is that Lin Ruhai, the censor who patrols salt, is not a peace official.

After hearing the news, Shi Mei came to visit Lin's mansion, and suggested that Jia Min should wait for the child to reach the age of one before going to Jiangnan.

However, Jia Min was very hesitant, not only reluctant to part with the child, but also reluctant to part with the husband.

Mother Lin insisted that the whole family should go together.

And came to Jia Min's residence and persuaded Jia Min to go to Jiangnan together.

Mother Lin's words also sound reasonable: "Daughter-in-law, Jiangnan is a land of flamboyance.

Not to mention the flower boats on the Qinhuai River, but only the skinny horses raised by the salt merchants, all of them were raised by Jiao Didi according to the model of everyone's ladies.

Hai'er was full of blood, and was dragged into the water when he couldn't keep it. Daughter-in-law, you have to follow and watch him. "

Jia Min said: "Of course I want to go with my husband, but Qingyu was born in the capital, a child, without any ability to resist, once the climate is not acclimatized, it will not be fun.

He's still so young, I'm really worried.

At least we have to wait until he is a full year old and his endurance is stronger before we go. "

At such a time, Lin Ruhai also arrived.

Lin Ruhai himself didn't want to take his family members into office, but he couldn't resist his mother's stubbornness.

Shi Mei felt that she was an outsider, and it was inconvenient to ask Ru Hai what to do, so she only said: "Min'er gave birth for less than a year, and her body has not yet recovered.

The baby is young and cannot withstand any twists and turns. I hope that the mother-in-law will consider it carefully. "

After saying that, Shi Mei said: "Min'er, take a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly got up to see him off.

Seeing that Mother Lin didn't follow, Shi Mei asked, "What do you think, Young Master?"

Ruhai can't blame her mother, so she doesn't know how to answer.

Shi Mei said: "As far as I know, there is no special yamen for inspecting salt censors. The inspecting salt censors have to borrow their residences and transfer to the office of the salt transportation envoy. You are not just inspecting this time. If you find any problems, report it to the emperor and finish the job." up.

You have accepted His Majesty's secret decree to bring about a new deal on salt affairs and increase the salt tax by 500 million for Your Majesty.

What a daunting task this is, can it be done with a family and a family?

You should know the news sent back by She'er last month that the implementation of the New Deal is difficult.

Due to the interference of the salt merchants and the inaction of the salt transport government, the implementation of the salt ticket was not good.

Salt merchants still dominate the salt market.

After you take office as the patrolling salt censor, you will have to fight wits and courage with the salt merchants and the salt transport yamen.

Blocking people's money is tantamount to killing their parents.

Your path will be extremely difficult.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have buried the inspectors in advance, the generals will escort you, and released eight inspectors and imperial envoys to disturb the Jiangnan officialdom for you.

In this case, are you sure you want to bring your family to take office? "

Shimei and Ruhai are standing at the hanging flower gate talking.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu rushed over, just in time to hear the words behind her, she was terrified immediately.

"Haier, what does your mother-in-law mean?

What escort?

What disturbs officialdom?

What is your errand on this trip, and why is it so dangerous? "

Lin Ruhai's eyes were clear, and he bowed to his mother: "The king's reward is shared with the king's worries, and my son bears the trust of His Majesty, so he must devote himself to it.

The salt market is hugely profitable, and his son wants to nationalize it.

This is tantamount to stealing people's money, and danger is inevitable.

So, mother, you should listen to Er'er's persuasion and stay in the capital with Min'er.

When your son settles down and the New Deal opens up, your son will return to Beijing to greet you in person, is that possible? "

Mother Lin's eyes turned red, and she stretched out her hand to beat Lin Ruhai: "You fool, I went to Jiangnan to relieve your worries, and now you are so dangerous, how can I ignore you?

The more this is the case, the more I want to follow, even if it is death, I have to stand in front of him. "

Lin Ruhai was so frightened that he almost knelt down: "Mother, let me touch this."

Then, Ruhai bowed to Shimei: "Please move mother-in-law, let's talk in the study."

Lin Ruhai wanted her mother-in-law to persuade her.

Lin's mother is very stubborn, and it is difficult to turn back what she has decided on.

Lin Ruhai really has nothing to do with her mother.

In Mother Lin's heart, Lin Ruhai is his life.

The grandson also has to go to the back row.

Shi Mei didn't want to get involved with their mother and son, but when she thought that Lin's mother would bring Jia Min along, she had to accept Ru Hai's request.

Then, Shi Mei broke it open and crushed it for Lin's mother to analyze, and finally said: "Although this matter is dangerous, it shouldn't be a big problem with the escort of She'er Yanhou.

It's just that once someone captures the family members and thinks they are threatening, that's another matter.

My mother-in-law is familiar with poetry and books, so I should remember the words of the previous dynasty, shoulder to shoulder with the king..."

Shi Mei had said all she wanted to say, but Mother Lin still insisted on her own opinion and dragged the whole family onto the dangerous ship, which meant that the Lin family deserved it.

Big deal, she sent a few more scouts to protect Jia Min's mother and son.

Furthermore, unlike before, Jia Amnesty also has several thousand soldiers in his hands, so it should be possible to protect Jia Min's mother and son.

After Shi Mei left, the Lin family mother and son were relatively silent.

Mother Lin muttered to herself: "I thought you were a glorious ancestor, and I didn't want to risk my life."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "This is just the worst situation, it shouldn't end here."

Lin's mother shook her head disgustedly: "Your mother-in-law sees no one in her eyes and is arrogant about everything.

However, I really love my children, especially your daughter-in-law.

I was just taking a concubine for you, who wouldn't do that?

She bared her fangs and threatened to face the king.

My daughter-in-law gave birth and asked her to stay a few more days, but she refused because she was afraid that I would say something.

Now that she came here to point fingers, if she didn't think her daughter and grandson were dangerous, how could it be so? "

Lin Ruhai suddenly knelt down to his mother, kowtowed and said: "Mother loves her son, the heaven and the earth are clear, the son is exhausted, and the son knows that the mother will do anything for her son, just like when the clansman stormed the gate of the house, you protect the son, I would rather be beaten. At that time, the son swore that he would protect his mother when he grew up. However, the son still has to drag his mother down.

The son is really unfilial! "

Mother Lin said: "This is the fate of our mother and son, and we have to accept it."

But Lin Ruhai said: "No, the son does not accept his fate. For the sake of the mother, for the sake of Miner's mother and son, the son wants to fight for his life, and the new salt policy must be implemented. This is what the son insisted on, and the son has no reason to be picky, but, The son hopes that the mother will guard the rear and the home for the son, and when the son is tired from rolling, he can come back and have a good rest.

Mother, son, I beg you, guard your son, your wife, and your home for your son, just like you stood in front and guarded the old house for your son.

Son please! "

Mother Lin burst into tears: "But, son, mother is worried about you..."

Ru Haidao: "You also know that brother-in-law is a martial artist, he is the eldest son of his mother-in-law, and Marquis Yan is also His Majesty's favorite, there is really no way out, how did these two people leave Beijing?

Now the official worships as a third-rank general, with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and Yan Hou, as an envoy, also has personal soldiers in his hands.These two people advance and retreat together with the son, as long as they are not threatened by the enemy, the son can guarantee that there will be no danger. "

Lin's mother lamented: "Are you sure to leave your mother behind?"

Ru Haidao: "It's not that the son left his mother alone, it's that it's not peaceful. Take a look at uncle, look at Marquis Yan, which one of them has brought a family? Even His Majesty hinted that the son would keep his family, so , Your Majesty can feel at ease! Mother, do you understand?

This is the holy fate, the holy fate is hard to do!

Mother, our backer is Your Majesty! "

Mother Lin hugged Ruhai and wept bitterly.

Lin Zhong was sad in his heart, but he guarded the door from a distance, not letting anyone get close to their mother and son easily.

The next day.

Ruhai brings Jia Min back to Ning, but Mother Lin has agreed to stay in the capital with Jia Min.

Jia Min didn't know the conversation between mother and husband, let alone the conversation between mother-in-law and husband.

She said happily: "The mother-in-law has already agreed, and when Qingyu reaches the age of one, she will go to the south of the Yangtze River with her daughter."

Shi Mei nodded: "Well, I know, I'm so happy not because of the proximity to my natal family, but because I'm leaving Beijing in a year's time. It's really sad."

Jia Min hurriedly hugged Shi Mei and acted like a baby when she heard the words: "Mother, you really know that my daughter doesn't mean that, and my daughter definitely wants to stay with her mother. To be honest, my daughter really wants to be like her mother, so that she can be calm and calm in the world."

Shi Mei nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, now that I'm old, of course I won't be surprised in the world."

Jia Min immediately said: "Mom, you are not old at all, otherwise, if we go out and ask, people will definitely think we are sisters."

Shi Mei concealed a smile: "You're talking nonsense again, beware of other people's jokes."

Shi Mei thought about the other wives, those in their [-]s had very little white hair, but their cheeks were plump and loose, and there were nasolabial folds.

It is indeed rare for Shi Mei to have cheeks as tight as porcelain jade.

Shi Mei thought, if she went out to eat and drink in the future, she should darken her complexion so as not to attract attention.

Lin Ruhai left Beijing at the end of April.

Shi Mei gave him some pigeons.Let him write to his wife and children about what he saw on the road and the itinerary, so as not to worry about Jia Min.

That day, Jia Min sent Lin Ruhai farewell with his son in his arms. He only sent him to the pavilion ten miles outside the city, and wanted to send him outside.

Only then did Shi Mei come forward and stop Jia Min.

After Lin Ruhai left the capital, Mother Lin suddenly became strict. Unless someone from the Rong Mansion came to the door, the door of the Lin family was rarely opened.

In mid-June, His Majesty suddenly issued a decree to replace Su Qian, the salt transport envoy of the Jiangnan capital on the spot, and ordered Yanhou, the procurator of Zhejiang Province, to temporarily replace the salt transport envoy of the Huaihe River and Huaihe Rivers, and preside over the implementation of the new policies in the Jiangnan area.

At the same time, dismissed Lianghuai Yandao Tongzhi and Deputy Envoy, appointed Lin Ruhai as Tongzhi, and appointed Xinke Jinshi Du Zongyuan as Deputy Envoy (formerly Du Jijiu, family member of Shangshu of the Idle People's Household Department, Jiazhu Jialian's mentor)

Cooperate with Yan Hou to implement the New Deal.

Today, the only hidden guard left is Jia She.

Jia Amnesty wasn't idle either. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he got in touch with Wang Rui, Wang Ziteng's die-hard brother and the famous criminal master of the Fujian-Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Wang Rui mediates on behalf of Jia She, and Jia She gives the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang a piece of Lingyu and an antique folding fan from his family.Jia Amnesty got where to go to train soldiers in Fujian and Zhejiang.

With this appointment, thousands of Jia Amnesty's families can train troops in Fujian and Zhejiang.

And General Hangzhou can also mobilize the guards in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Jia Amnesty just didn't want to cause trouble for General Hangzhou. General Hangzhou's power should be used at critical moments to save lives.After all, the queen had nearly [-] soldiers under the general's command.

Jia Amnesty said that what he wanted was to practice soldiers and horses on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

In this way, Jia Amnesty set off from Hangzhou and stationed troops in the canal. As long as he got the news and stopped at night, within two days, he could rush to the rescue of Suzhou and Yangzhou without anyone noticing.

Then, Jia Amnesty used the same method to get in touch with the governor of Liangjiang, and gave Lingyu Antique Shanzi, and also got the right to train troops in Liangjiang.

After receiving the warrants from the two governors, Jia Amnesty greeted Yan Hou's uncle, and pulled 2000 people out under the pretext of training soldiers and horses.

This practice ran from Hangzhou to Suzhou, and then from Suzhou to Yangzhou.

Jia Amnesty made it clear first.

Then, when they went ashore, they purchased all kinds of earthenware in large quantities.

All kinds of delicacies were eaten next to each other.

Then, wait for the scout to say, those eyeliners are gone.

Only then did Jia Amnesty get in touch with several business partners of the Wang family in Yangzhou.

Jia Amnesty handed over Wang Zisheng's famous assassin and hosted a banquet in Wangjiang Tower.

The purpose of entertaining these people is to find out the family background of the salt merchants.And these salt merchants are related to so and so.It would be best if there is an amount of money given to any official.

Wang Ziteng has always wanted to get his hands on Yancha, but unfortunately he has been rejected, even the Xue family can't get involved.

This time, taking advantage of the government's rectification of the salt business and small subcontracting, these related households of Wang Ziteng have received a lot of benefits.Having tasted the sweetness, I naturally want to expand profits.

How to expand profits and kill the original monopoly salt merchants!

I always heard Emperor Jiahe say that salt merchants evaded taxes and were rich enough to rival a country.

Jia Amnesty wanted to find out exactly how much money these people had.

They are here to fight these people, to collect taxes for the Ministry of Households, and to recover money and interests for the emperor's old son's internal treasury.

The salt merchants kept crying for poverty.

If Jia Amnesty wants someone to pay back the money, he must know himself and the enemy, so that he can do it overnight.

Once Emperor Jiahe's money is recovered, Jia Amnesty will benefit more.

I am afraid that another [-]% of the debt owed by the household department can be written off.

Therefore, Jia She received the secret decree shown by Yanhou, which is embarrassing.

At the same time, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but admire the unscrupulous father and son.

Interest is more deceptive than loan sharks, and the interest returned by the salt merchants to the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already multiplied five times the principal.

The salt merchant still owes the principal and interest of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has not paid off.

Jia Amnesty only discussed these matters with Marquis Yan.

Jia Amnesty is following the orders of his mother and adults.

Shi Mei told Jia Amnesty that only information about safety was allowed at home.The rest, related to government affairs and secret matters, unless you are the person concerned, don't say it out loud, and leave it on paper.

Beware that walls have ears.

That is to say, the minister does not keep secrets!

Therefore, when Jia Amnesty came and went, even the governors of Fujian, Zhejiang and Liangjiang didn't know what he was going to do.

It's another treat, another drink, and another big purchase.

After watching it for more than a month, I came to the conclusion: This is the second generation ancestor, a dandy!

Jia Amnesty used his status as a dandy to exclude scouts, and under the cover of the Wang family's business partners, he spied everywhere.

Lin Ruhai arrived in Yangzhou, proving that the time has come.

Jia Amnesty's first piece of information was expedited through Yan Hou eight hundred miles, and flew to Emperor Jiahe's dragon case.

Emperor Jiahe issued an edict, and Yanhou and Lin Ruhai formally walked in front of the people.

Yanhou is the temporary envoy of salt transportation.Did not surrender the right to inspect.

The safety of Yan Hou and Lin Ruhai, the newcomers, was guaranteed, and at the same time, Lin Ruhai's work efficiency was also improved.

It won't show up again, Lin Ruhai issued a signing order, no one will take over the errand.

Because of this, what Shi Mei knew was that the implementation of the New Deal was slow.

Shi Mei didn't know about Jia She's series of drinking flowers and wine, making big purchases, leading soldiers to eat and drink, and visiting lakes and mountains.

Since Ruhai arrived in Yangzhou.

On the capital side, Shi Mei and Jia Min can receive letters from the post station every ten days and a half months.

Ruhai also wrote about Yangzhou's local conditions and customs to his mother, wife and children.

No matter Jia Amnesty's letters to his mother or his wife, they are all the same simple and rude: don't read for peace! !

As for the two maids Zhang sent to Jia She, there was no information sent back at all.

Mrs. Zhang suspected that the two girls had an affair.

Shi Mei guessed that it would not be so fast if she was born out of her heart, and Jia She must have time to gain a firm foothold.

If you are still obsessed with women and don't know how to make progress, then there is nothing you can do.

Shi Mei was more willing to believe that the two girls were trapped, or that they couldn't get any useful information at all.

Shi Mei didn't dare to reveal these analysis to Mrs. Zhang, not because she was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would disclose it to outsiders, but because she was afraid that what she said unintentionally would be heard by those who cared.

Furthermore, Mrs. Zhang needs to grow up, and she slowly realizes herself!

Compared to Mrs. Zhang, Jia Min is very relaxed. While missing her relatives, she is a little proud.

Because Lin Ruhai would resign Taotao every time he wrote a letter, it seemed that he was writing letters to his wife every day without doing anything serious.

It wasn't that Jia Min was heartless, because they were afraid that she would not be able to stand up, neither Shi Mei nor Lin's mother told Jia Min that Lin Ruhai's farewell was dangerous.

Jia Min has resumed cultivation now. She is still young, and her figure has recovered quickly, without a trace of fat on her body.

With the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River that Lin Ruhai can create, Jia Min lives a relaxed and comfortable life.

Counting the days secretly in my heart, when Qingyu is a full year old, she is like a member of the regiment with her husband.

Shi Mei was envious of Jia Min's innocence, but also worried for her. Once she went to Jiangnan, she would not be able to understand Lin Ruhai's difficulties and hardships. Would the husband and wife still be in harmony?

Shi Mei just hoped that Lin Ruhai and Yanhou could open up the situation within a year.
