old lady in red

Jia Dairu said: "In the past few years, I have seen clearly that the children of the clan are only in the school for a while, and they are not willing to work hard at all, blind to the cultivation of the two prefectures.

These children, not to mention the young ones, most of the older ones have no chance of imperial examinations.

I am nearly fifty years old, and the bit of resentment in my heart faded away when your brother died.

Although it is said that all things are inferior, only reading is high, but you have to have this life.

One you, one Zheng'er, came out without seeing your head hanging on the beam and stabbing your ass, this is fate! "

Jia Qi also has a talent for reading, but Jia Qi didn't have the fate to get such a dilapidated body.

Jia Dairu is also the son of Duke Rong.

Since he was a child, he was eager to learn, and he became a scholar when he entered school, and that's all.

Jia Daishan's intention to marry a wealthy daughter is not enough.

He married Xiaojia Biyu but was full of gratitude.

This is life!

Jia Dai treated him well. He was 36 years old, his official career was cut off, and he invested in the construction of a private school.

Jia Dairu's residence was also expanded by Jia Daishan into a house with three entrances and three roads.

for he had three sons.

It's a pity that his sons died of illness one after another, and the money was spent like running water without any response.

Jia Dairu couldn't help crying, and stretched out his hand to pat Jia Jing: "You are a good boy, you have been worthy of your tribe all these years, I will come forward tomorrow, maybe they will listen."

Last year, Jia Dairu was still not very happy. After all, he was a private school teacher, so how could he persuade people not to study.

This year, his youngest son will fail again, so he also wants to open it.

What else are you fighting for? People can't fight for their lives!

This time, the success of Jia Xun and Jia Xun aroused the enthusiasm of the Shuzhi of Rongning and Ningfu.

There are more and more people willing to do business.

In the past, everyone was a scorpion, and when they went out, they could no longer receive the monthly two-two subsidy from the clan.

Now look at Jia Xun and Jia Xun, how many twos are there.

Except for the sixth grandpa's son who is weak and several families have no suitable labor, most people are willing to try.

However, Shi Mei didn't just give the money in a muddle-headed way.Instead, everyone is asked to come up with the reports and budgets of the inspection projects.

After Shi Mei investigated and deliberated, she felt that it was feasible, so she gave the money to the shop.

The tribe still has some vision.Several companies are willing to jointly open silk and satin villages.

Jia Amnesty was an official in the south of the Yangtze River, and he went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy goods.

There are also those who make porcelain, groceries from the north and the south, and those who open bookstores, restaurants, and teahouses.

After choosing the candidate, Shi Mei made a rule that it doesn't matter if she doesn't make money within a year.

However, you cannot lose money.

In the second year, you must make money, otherwise you will close the stall.

What's more, if you want to monopolize the money after making money, it's a pile of two mountains. Not only will you not want to do it, but you will also be thrown out of the capital.

The family can raise idlers, but not traitors.

Jin Shan and Lai Da came forward to open a shop and go to the government to apply for documents.

Both Jia Xun and Jia Xun actively participated and assisted in the middle.

They have been working for a year, and they are familiar with each other. Say hello, this is my brother and uncle, and the big guy will save face.

Then find a dental exchange shop, which was done properly years ago.

Rongfu spent a total of 600 taels.

All are three-year leases.

That is to say, the clansman could not earn money in the first year, so the more than 3000 silver was thrown into the water.

The first time you buy goods, Rong Mansion will send a housekeeper to take the goods to see the goods and buy them, and everything will be done for you, and you will follow suit from now on.

It is really necessary to get on the horse and send it off again.

There are also eight shops set up in Ningfu, just like here, silk shop, tea shop, candied fruit shop and so on.

These businesses are not afraid of repetition.

Forty-Nine City is so big, as long as people work hard, they can make money.

Twelve shops were set up in Rongfu at once.

Shi Mei suggested that another Huamu Zhuangzi could be opened, but no one responded.

Because Huamu Zhuangzi has to cultivate and cultivate.

These people have embarrassing emotions, so don't they really become peasant coolies?

Shi Mei is optimistic about this business, because in a few years, the world will be peaceful, and the palace will kill pigs to cause trouble.

Huyou Xungui's large-scale construction projects, flowers, plants and trees can earn a lot of money.

This is still earning money with coolies, and the emperor is jealous and can't get a piece of it.

If everyone doesn't do it, Shi Mei is going to do it herself.

She thought about it for a few days, and planned to buy [-] mu of barren hills and thin land near the Tiekan Temple, her family temple, and then select a few capable households to take charge of it and set it up.

For flower and tree workers, local farmers are recruited on the spot.

Shimei plans to turn the Tiekan Temple, the family temple, into a flower and tree base, which can not only sell flowers and trees, but also be used by literati to visit.

Shi Mei discussed this matter with Zhang, and Zhang thought it was feasible.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discuss and choose who will be in charge.

Zhang Jue found out and came to recommend Shi Mei.

Zhang Jue recommended his adoptive parents.

His adoptive father can hunt and plant, and his adoptive mother can graft flowers and trees.

The couple are actually from the south, and they were implicated and sent out of Beijing in their early years.

Now that things have changed, parents and brothers are dead, and the remaining nephew doesn't recognize him at all, and his life is not satisfactory.

Therefore, there is no place to stay in my hometown.

Now, the old cold legs of the adoptive parents are suffering in the Eastern Province, Zhang Jue wants to send them back to Kyoto to retire.

It's just that there is no chance, and I am afraid that the adoptive parents will misunderstand.

This time is an opportunity.

The Rong Mansion needs management talents in this area, so he does not shy away from relatives.

Zhang Jue said: "My mother-in-law is less than 50 years old, she can do it herself, my adoptive father can help, and he can also plant flowers and trees. You just need to arrange some people to help them, and the custody can help you set up the flower and tree garden."

Shi Mei nodded: "Let me think about it. This matter has to be discussed with the East Mansion. Tiekan Temple is not owned by the Rong Mansion family. You should know that."

Zhang Jue responded: "It's okay if you have difficulties. I'll try to find another way. I just want to take care of them under the name of Rongfu because they are independent households and have no one to take care of them."

This is true.

Right now, the Osmanthus Xia family is unique in Kyoto, and most of the flowers and trees in Kyoto come from their family.

The savages from the Eastern Province suddenly came to compete for food, and they ran into you in three or two days until you closed your door.

Shi Mei recruited Jia Jing to talk, and she told Zhang Jue's life experience: "This is the result of your uncle's lack of virtue after drinking, and entrusted it to the Wu family. have no idea.

Her mother distorted the facts, saying that she had been insulted in the church.

Now I want to renovate Tiekan Temple, so that it will not look good if it is left naked in the wilderness.

I just want to make this temporary resting place for the tribe more warm.

At the same time, it is also a business to support the family temple by offering sacrifices to the land and dispatch almost other people to run it.

If you can't make a lot of money, our two governments don't need to spend extra money. "

Jia Jing naturally agreed.

Shi Mei approached Jia Zheng to discuss: designing the garden of the family temple of Tiekan Temple.

Jia Zhengyin asked, "Why did mother suddenly think of this?"

Shi Mei said: "I also went back to my hometown this time, and saw the ancestral hall of my hometown, which is full of green shade.

Looking at the cemetery of the former dynasty again, it is also towering ancient trees.

We dare not compare with the royal family.

However, the family temple cannot be left alone in the barren mountains.

Fengshui, Fengshui, isn't it just landscapes and trees? "

When Jia Zheng heard that the words involved future generations, he felt reasonable: "For the Fengshui of the family temple, the son is duty-bound!"

"it is good!"

Shi Mei said: "This time you set up an account, make a budget, and see how much money you will need. This is a joint construction project between the two governments, and all expenses will be shared by the two governments.

Like some kind of stair pavilion, you plan and build slowly in the future.

This matter is not in a hurry, it will take ten years.

Let's improve slowly.

Such a day-by-day evolution is neither conspicuous, and our business is done.

Right now, you can first go to the field to investigate and make a plan. Let’s plant what kind of trees in which area. The trees should be conducive to the feng shui of the family temple and also be conducive to viewing.

It is best to make it an elegant and interesting place that literati and inkmen like! "

Jia Zheng had a poet's dream hidden in his heart, and he became more and more happy when he heard this.

Adding sacrifice fields to the family temple is also for the sake of descendants.

In case of defeat, the descendants can cultivate and read the family heirloom, and make a comeback.

The emperors of all dynasties will never confiscate the Tianzu Temple.

After discussing with her son and nephew, Shi Mei agreed with Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue left immediately and wanted to rush back to Eastern Province.

Shi Mei said: "This snowy weather will not last for half a month, and it is already twenty today."

But Zhang Jue said: "That's dragging the family, the kid is alone, and he will arrive in seven days."

Shi Mei said: "Could it be that you returned to Beijing a year ago?"

Zhang Jue said: "The boy has exactly this intention, and my adoptive parents are not in Heishantou, but in the accompanying capital, which is very convenient."

Shi Mei then ordered Lai Da: "Arrange a small courtyard for Zhang Jue in the back street, where a family of four can live."

Invisibly, Zhang Jue has entered the sight of Jia's mansion through Wu's house, and avoiding taboos can't solve the problem.

It's better to simply put it in front of your eyes, and you can grasp the movement at any time.

A small farm owner can no longer shake Rong Guohou's mansion.

Shi Mei also wanted to see clearly what the mother and son Zhang Jue wanted to do.

The 23th of the twelfth lunar month.

Jia Sheyan Hou Lin Ruhai and the three of them appeared at the south gate of the city as if they had fallen from the sky suddenly.

There were 36 officials escorted back to the south of the Yangtze River, all of whom were Taoist or above.

Then there are hundreds of liang of baggage carriages.

Half of the frame went into the household department, and half of the frame went directly into the Xihuamen.

These 36 officials are thieves and moths who colluded with salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, raised prices on the ground, and entrapped the people.

Zhen Yingjia, the nephew of Concubine Zhen, was also among them.

Of course, these are only the officials His Majesty allowed to arrest.

Going deeper, Yanhou didn't dare to move, let alone Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty just obeyed orders.

The same is true for Lin Ruhai.

Due to the obstruction of the salt merchants, Lin Ruhai's salt tickets were not sold out in the current season.

However, the promised tax increase of 500 million, the figures are coming together.

But it is the sum of the money interest and the salt merchant's family property.

It was at midnight on the 24th that Shi Mei found out that Jia Amnesty had returned to Beijing.

When Shi Mei learned that Jia She came back in the middle of the night, she was terrified and didn't know what happened.

After Jia Amnesty kowtowed to Shi Mei, before saying anything, he handed Shi Mei an IOU. The 20 IOU written by Jia Zheng years ago became 10 taels.

Shi Mei stood up suddenly: "Where did you get the money?"

Jia She grinned and said, "Mother don't worry, the son has never touched any money, this IOU was handed over to the son by Du Shangshu himself.

Look carefully, is it your son's handwriting? "

Shi Mei almost fell down: "Your Majesty's reward!"

Oh mother!

Shi Mei's skin suddenly tightened!

At this time, what Shi Mei thought of was not debt-free.

She doesn't want to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation again!

I don't want to be swayed by the old dragon's dragon energy anymore!

Shi Mei shrank in her heart: "Xie'er, have you thanked me?"

Jia She was taken aback for a moment: "My son didn't care about it!

I returned to Beijing in the middle of the night last night, and went to face you in the morning.

Then, he spent the whole day running around in the House of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, a series of handover procedures, and it was already dusk.

The palace rewarded three of us with royal meals, and after eating, we left the palace, and met Du Shangshu on the way. "

Jia She was still a very perceptive child, seeing his mother's distressed face, he asked, "Could it be that someone in the palace made things difficult for you?"

Shi Mei said: "It's not too difficult.

It's just Concubine Zhen Gui who speaks in a strange way, after all, she is a monarch, and as a mother, she is afraid that one day she will not be able to restrain her temper and bring disaster to the family.

This female family member has to go to the palace to thank the empress and concubine. After all, we are still related to the Zhen family.

If you don't go, it's time for people to talk about our family.

Go ahead, she's always talking about something and nothing.

At that time, His Majesty was cold to her, but she didn't dare to go too far, but now His Majesty has changed his mind..."

In fact, Shi Mei is not very worried about Concubine Zhen, but Shi Mei's appearance is becoming more and more a burden at the moment.

Looking at the capital, even the empress in the palace is not as close to fifty as she is, and she is still pink and white, just like a twenty-eight beauty.

The emperor's house is the dirtiest place.

Emperor Jiahe may not have any intentions, but he is afraid that someone will sway him.

She doesn't want to fall into the dye vat and become a canary!

But you can't say this to your son.

Therefore, it is better to show up less in the future.

Just eat and drink at home, just be the old queen of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She nods his head: "My son knows, just go and thank him.

After all, the son is the head of the family.

No matter how powerful Concubine Zhen is, she has no reason to summon foreign ministers. "

Shi Mei was overjoyed when she heard the words: "I feel at ease now. Oh, what does your errand majesty say, will you continue to work in the south of the Yangtze River in the new year?"

Jia She said: "Yes, this is just the beginning, it will take at least three years for the Marquis of Yan to be transferred.

The same is true for the son, by the way, he spent these three years helping his brother-in-law gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan.

It's a pity that this time it seems that they can't beat the Zhen family to death. I don't know what kind of trouble they will make in the future. "

Shi Mei couldn't help asking: "Did you hear that there is something wrong with the Zhen family in Jiangnan?

For example, there are children who should not have in the family?

Or, what kind of children did their family send to someone else, like this? "

Jia She was taken aback when he heard this, and thought for a while: "What are you suspecting? Don't you suspect that there is something wrong with the dead son of the Qin family?"

Shi Mei nodded: "This kind of pearl wandering is the most capable of deceiving people's hearts.

It's good that the king of Yizhong County is standing in the court, but if there is a mistake in the king of Yizhong County one day, there may be troubles outside.

Therefore, She'er must avoid getting involved with this kind of person when walking outside.

In fact, Your Majesty is still very kind to our family, and this Marquis of Yan is a wonderful ally.

The beauty is that he has the supreme honor and favor, but he will not be jealous of other princes.

Similarly, you, Yan Hou's hardcore, will not be feared by others.

You spend ten days with your elder brother Jing, and tell him a thing or two, our two families are in the same breath, it is best to be able to keep pace. "

Jia Amnesty responded, "It's only natural. My father told his son on his deathbed that he must advance and retreat with the Ning Mansion."

Shi Mei couldn't hold back in the end, and talked about the possible tricks arranged by Concubine Zhen's family: "I have heard that something is wrong in Ping'an Prefecture, and there are lake bandits and road tyrants from time to time, and they collude with the local guards.

She'er can avoid it if she can, and don't want to be contaminated.

I'm also hearing this, maybe it's a rumor.However, it is better to believe what is there than not to believe what is not.

Be careful not to step wrong! "

Jia She's heart was shaken, but he bowed in response: "My son will definitely remember what my mother said today to wake up the world."

Shi Mei said again: "This, don't reveal it in front of Marquis Yan, it must be difficult to write, blood is thicker than water..."

Jia She said: "My son knows!"

Then, Jia Amnesty brought Shi Mei imported goods this time, which turned out to be a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a pocket gold pocket watch.

Shi Mei's eyes are not nearsighted at all.

However, she was still very happy that her son wanted it.

Jia She took out a vermilion box again and handed it to Shi Mei: "This is a box of gems that my son got. The rarest thing is that it has all the colors."

Shi Mei spread out the brass lock, and spiritual energy rushed to her face immediately.

In an instant, Shi Mei's eyes were a little smoky as if he had drunk adult sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Shi Mei asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"

Jia She said: "My son caught a boat smuggling contraband at sea, and this is something that was added to the smuggled goods.

It was not registered at that time.

Yan Hou, my brother-in-law, the three of us shared two shares, one of which is here for my mother. "

Shi Mei just laughed: "I was just about to ask if your wife has these things."

Jia She smiled: "My son is narrow-minded."

Shi Mei smiled: "Nonsense, you did a good job.

Since she also has a share, I will accept it all. "

Shi Mei loves these things very much.

These twelve spirit stones are completely different from the ones she got from Puyu Street.

The content of aura is like the difference between a brook and a big river.

With these twelve spirit stones, she can stabilize her cultivation and no longer have to take the risk of being attacked by the dragon.

Thinking of this, Shi Mei couldn't help holding the spirit stone in her hand.

Then, absorb the spiritual energy, run it to the eyes, and quietly open the sky eyes.

Shi Mei discovered that Jia Sheyintang's luck became more and more colorful, even tainted with a hint of purple.

Shi Mei knew that Jia She took this step in the right way, because she had followed Yan Hou for a long time and had been contaminated by Yan Hou's luck.

Jia Amnesty has definitely been on the rise in the past three years.

Shi Mei guessed in her heart, whether Jia She's purple aura was promoted or given a title?

This year, Jia Amnesty still had one thing that Shi Mei was satisfied with, the two girls remained silent.

This shows that Jia Amnesty has been giving medicine to the two girls!

This is good.

At least if you have another child next year, you won't lose face in front of your in-laws.

Zhang's heart will also be very comfortable.

Home and everything is going well!

Shi Mei said: "Go back, your daughter-in-law is probably already waiting."

Zhang's current control over Rongfu, someone should have sent a letter to Rongxitang.

He didn't come here for a long time, probably because he was afraid of disturbing their mother and son's conversation.

Mrs. Zhang is a very measured mistress.

The next day.

Both Jia She and Zhang came to greet Shi Mei.

The affection in Zhang's eyes really wants to flow out.

The rosiness on that face was like a peach.

Jia pardoned Zhang's family, Jia Lian and Jia Cong, Zhang'er was held by Jia Lian, and the family saluted Shi Mei in a row.

"Greetings to my mother (grandmother), I wish my mother (grandmother) good health!"

Shi Mei only felt a warm current of anger between her brows, instantly reaching all limbs.

Afterwards, Shi Mei only felt that the pores all over her body felt refreshed!

Shi Mei found out that after six years of coming, she gradually blended in, for the sake of the glory of her children and grandchildren.

For their filial son secretly happy.

Moved by their happiness.

Shi Mei asked: "Is breakfast served here?"

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, and Jia Cong eat at Rongqing Hall all day long after school.

But Jia Amnesty came to say goodbye: "It is estimated that today will not be possible. King Zhongjing asked his son to discuss with the Marquis Yan about the arrangement of the palace guards this year. In the past few days, the officials from all over the border will come to Beijing one after another. Udon, Lusong, Baiyue and Fusang Foreign ministers went to the palace to pay homage, and the palace was in a hurry. I'm afraid they couldn't stay at home a few years ago."

Shi Mei hurriedly said: "This is a big deal, I won't delay you."

After Mrs. Zhang took the children to send Jia She out, she turned around and brought a box into the house, presenting it to Shi Mei.

When Shi Mei saw it, it was actually a spirit stone.

Shi Mei smiled and said: "I know your filial piety, and I have it too, so you put it away."

Zhang said: "The daughter-in-law left six inlaid jewelry, and now the six are dedicated to the mother, I hope you will accept them."

Shi Mei likes it very much.

However, these things are all absorbed by her, and they will not reach any new heights.

Shi Mei had a hunch that the twelve in her hand could stabilize her current state.

She actually didn't know what the result would be if her cultivation base improved.

For the unpredictable future, she doesn't want to rush into it.

Shi Mei said: "Jade can ward off evil spirits, suppress shocks, soothe the nerves, preserve health, and beautify the face.

This is a tribute from udon, a rare and rare jade that can be used as a family heirloom.

You have three children now, and there will surely be more, so keep them for the children. "

Shi Mei picked out a piece of green spirit jade from the box and handed it to Mrs. Zhang: "This quick spirit jade can be cut into several pieces of jade locks for the children to wear. It is better than the ones given by their aunts before."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang took back the jewelry box gratefully: "Since my mother said so, my daughter-in-law will take it back. Thank you for your teaching."

At noon, Jia Min also arrived at Rongfu, taking Qingyu with her.

Qingyu perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents, bearing the face of her mother and the bones of her father.

It's really good, he chooses whichever.

He is still under the age of now, and he can speak many words in babbling.

When Zhang'er called her grandmother, he followed suit.

While learning the tongue, he smiled like a flower and drooled.Very interesting.

Jia Min also came to offer treasures, not only bringing more than a dozen boxes of fruit, but also a box full of spiritual stones.

Shi Mei looked at twelve and smiled: "Give them all to mother, don't you want them yourself?"

Jia Min said: "My mother-in-law is not rare, she gave it all to me."

Shi Mei said: "Your mother-in-law gave it to you because she wanted to keep it for her grandson, but you gave it to me. Your mother-in-law should scold you for being a prodigal."

Jia Min smiled softly and said: "My mother-in-law doesn't know the goods, she thought it was the ordinary jade from the past, and said how many boxes were piled up in the warehouse.

I don’t even look at these and push them to me.

It is also suggested by your son-in-law to honor you.

Your son-in-law said that Jiangnan will allow Fanbang to open a warehouse for imported goods in the future. Such things are probably not difficult to obtain.

Just take it. "
