old lady in red

In Jia Zheng’s memorial, the reason why the Ministry of Industry set up a self-ringing bell research workshop is that the Ministry of Industry simply does not have any large-scale construction projects.

He was free anyway.

Therefore, the chime bell was studied.

Then, I felt that the development of the self-ringing clock was feasible.

As long as you have enough time and money, you can be successful.

I hope His Majesty will allow the establishment of a self-ringing bell research and development workshop.

Jia Zheng emphasized that the Great Moon Dynasty was dignified, a state of etiquette, and educated the people.

Can no longer be underestimated by Fan Bang's children.

The Franji people refused to agree with the etiquette of the Great Moon Dynasty. This dynasty should fight back and let them know who is the overlord.

Shi Mei shook Jia Zheng's memorial: "Why do you ask His Majesty to contribute money and efforts with such empty words?

You have to point out the benefits of studying chiming bells, and let His Majesty see the benefits!

From the whole of your memorial, it can be seen that you are not convinced by the Westerners, and want to study chiming clocks to gamble with them and beat the Frankies!

Your majesty, under the light of the holy candle, can you play house with your child and make a fuss?

For the sake of face, His Majesty will scold you to death! "

Jia Zheng had no confidence in his heart.

Recently, I fell in love with the magic of the chime clock, and felt that it was extremely mysterious, and I wanted to continue researching and putting it into production.

Of course, the material of the chime bell is not generally expensive, so I just want to try to see if I can get His Majesty's support.

If it doesn't work, it's all right for him to sell the iron by himself.

He has already made a clear investigation, and the chiming bell is now popular in the honorable family.

In the future, it will definitely be popularized in Qinggui and even ordinary rich families.

His chime clock does not need to be sold for one thousand denarii, five hundred is enough.

This is pure profit.

How much silver can the imperial court earn!

But this money-making thing can't be announced!

Scholars' mouths are full of copper stink, which is very vulgar.

Jia Zheng explained why he couldn't talk about money.

Shi Mei said: "Who told you to make money?

Making money is a dirty business.

Of course, taxation is the most important weapon of the country.

You have to convince His Majesty in terms of taxes.

This is a promising industry.

If this industry can be established, businessmen can make a lot of money.

In this way, the treasury can collect a lot of taxes.

Then, you can spread it out, we can also learn from the Francophones and sell the chime clocks to our dependent countries.

All the silver earned in this way belongs to the court.

Then, think about it again.

For example, the national treasury is full and can do many things.

Make ~ guns, make ~ guns.

As long as the cannons are set up at the three passes, the Tartars will attack Caogu again, and they will bomb as many times as they come.

You can also develop cavalry, learn from Huo Qubing, and drive all restless Tartars out of the Mongolian steppe.

You can also build a powerful navy.

In this way, once the sharp weapon is released, the Japanese pirates have nowhere to hide. "

Jia Zheng frowned, "But right now most of the officials are advocating peaceful co-existence."

Shi Mei said: "Then don't talk about fighting, but talk about strengthening the country, strengthening the army, and enriching the people."

With a rich and powerful country, you can build a strong army, and with a strong army, you can frighten foreign nations.

Fanbang's son is honest, and he pays tribute every year and comes to the court every year, and the court will be stable.

The border is stable, the court will stop fighting, and our people will be stable, so they can live and work in peace and work hard.

As the people became richer, taxes naturally increased.

It's a virtuous circle.

In this way, the treasury of the Great Moon Dynasty will be more abundant, and the country will become richer and stronger.

The peace and prosperity of the Great Moon Dynasty is just around the corner! '

Jia Zheng's blood boiled when he heard it.

Then, Jia Zheng frowned: "Mother, a small chime bell, do you want to talk so much and go so far?"

Shi Mei smiled: "I can figure it out.

Anyway, it's hard to convince Emperor Jiahe with your memorial!

Otherwise, you can discuss it with your master! "

Shan Ziye is fine anyway.

He used to be a great Confucianist, didn't he want to leave his name in history, but only liked to hide his achievements and fame?

If you really want to hide merit and fame deeply, you should learn from Jie Zitui and go to the mountains to be a savage.

Then, after three days of dawdling, Jia Zheng gave Shi Mei another memorial.

Basically follow Shi Mei's way.

It's just that the one among them is also, alas.

One sentence, one sigh.

However, Shi Mei could understand.

……

Rest and live, the people are rich.

The people are rich and the country is full!

……

Shi Mei then asked: "Is this a powerful poem? Is it right that such a memorial can be played in court?"

Jia Zheng retracted it with a dark face.

Then, the third draft was finally readable.Even if you go to the Golden Luan Hall to read it, it should not be regarded as a mental illness.

And it is full of stories about making the country rich and the people strong, well-founded and well-organized.

Even if Emperor Jiahe refused to allow it, he would not be scolded.

Shi Mei said: "How about this, when the time comes, you will say that you have the memorial, and then hand over the memorial, if His Majesty wants it, you will definitely let you play it right in court, if you don't, then it's fine.

You don't have to be upset, although the money at home is not full, saving and saving can also support your research.

It's just that, if you gain benefits in the future, you have to make up for it to your brother. "

This self-ringing clock is not an airplane made by farmers, and Shi Mei is confident that it will be successfully developed.

His Majesty would not be so shameless, he didn't support it at the beginning, and he didn't allow him to withdraw the principal.

In short, no matter whether Emperor Jiahe supports this matter or not, it will not be harmful to Rongfu.

Greetings first, when the time comes, if you want to be nationalized, there must be a condition.

Maybe, Jia Zheng can also sit with the title of title.

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face was full of gratitude: "Thank you mother, my son can still hold on now, and when he can't hold on that day, he will naturally talk to his mother."

Shi Mei said: "Success, I have already written a letter to your brother about this matter, asking him to find a local missionary.

Perhaps, they can have the name of the material of construction of this chime clock, or the processing method. "

Jia Zheng hurriedly saluted after hearing the words: "Thank you, mother."

Shi Mei said again: "However, I don't think you should contact any Franji before His Majesty approves."

Every year, Franji people come to Beijing to pay tribute, seeking the opportunity to meet His Majesty.

It's just that Emperor Jiahe didn't like their amazing skills.

Moreover, Emperor Jiahe insisted on making people kneel and kowtow three times, but Franji was not happy.

In short, many disharmony caused the Frangji people to miss the opportunity to meet Emperor Jiahe for many years.

Francois can only jump some words.

Because of the language barrier, almost no one paid attention to them except Li Fanyuan.

Shi Mei was afraid that Jia Zheng would get hotheaded, so she had to remind him first.

To avoid being labeled as an adulterer.

Jia Zheng methodically made the final preparations.

Shi Mei also has no time to take care of him.

Mrs. Zhang has reached the expected date of delivery.

After entering the winter moon, Shi Mei asked the midwife not to go home, but to live in the inverted room of Rongxi Hall, ready to deliver the baby at any time.

The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhang started.

This time, because Zhang was frightened during pregnancy, the child was very small.

Mrs. Zhang didn't bother.

It starts at noon, and before midnight, a delicate little girl is born.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy.

The old lady Zhang was also very happy: "Oh, this time, Yaonu's wish has come true."

Shi Mei secretly pinched her fingers: Yuan Chun is seven years old, this child is seven years younger than Yuan Chun.

However, based on the calculations of Red House, Yingchun should be eight years younger than Yuanchun.

Because Baoyu is ten years younger than Yuanchun.

Yingchun is as old as Baochai and two years older than Baoyu.

Mrs. Zhang was happily holding the child, and saw Shi Mei frowning, thinking that Shi Mei was unhappy that her daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter.

The old lady Zhang suddenly became unhappy: "No way, mother-in-law, you have had so many grandchildren, why are you still greedy and want a kid?"

Seeing old lady Zhang sowing discord, how could Shi Mei let her?

Shi Mei sneered: "What nonsense, who doesn't like it?

I was thinking about my granddaughter who is so beautiful, what should I call her! "

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and sniggered a few times, before she regained her composure and said, "My husband said, if you give birth to a boy, you will go down the list according to the draft. If it is a daughter, please name your mother."

When Shi Mei heard that she was asked to name her, she was very happy, she thought for a while and said: "Yuan girl is called Jia Yuan, and this one has to be named Jia Ying.

A daughter as beautiful and noble as jade. "

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "Jia Ying!

The name sounds good, and the meaning of the words is also good.

Thank you mother for the name. "

Mrs. Zhang said: "Now that you have a scientific name, you need a baby name. Grandma will think of another one."

Shi Mei thought to herself, how can I get up?

According to Yuanchun, this season is to welcome the spring.

This is a bit deliberate.

With Jia She's temperament, who knows if he will give birth to a few concubine daughters?

Shi Mei rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this, I have already adopted a first name, so I will give my baby name to my grandmother."

The old lady Zhang said: "This baby name is usually a brother and sister.

If the elder sister is called Sister Lan, the younger sister must be called Sister Lian, Sister Xing, which sounds like a sister.

The eldest girl in your house is called Yuan Chun, and it is said that she was named by the old man.

The girl in the back has to follow along, otherwise, the old man is afraid that he will not like it. "

Shi Mei tentatively said, "Is that Congchun or Congyuan?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Of course you can't follow Yuan. Yuanchun is called Sister Yuan. How to distinguish another Sister Yuan? Let's start with Chun. Sister is called Yingchun, and Sister Ying."

Shi Mei sighed, she was worthy of Yingchun.Give her a prostitute, and find a real wife, a talented daughter-in-law.

Afterwards, Shi Mei was happily busy preparing for the New Year's Eve.

This year Jia Xuan married a wife.

His wife is the daughter of a small landlord in the suburbs of Beijing, named Liu Yue'e.

This Liu Yue'e is the eldest daughter, and her mother is not in good health, and she handles all the family affairs.

The population of the family is also simple. There are three older brothers, all of whom are small landlords who are responsible for their duties. Each family has [-] acres of land.

It belongs to the portal of self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

Although Liu Yue'e came from a small family, she was born intelligent, quick-witted and diligent.

Follow Shi Mei to fight, and get along with Rongqingtang's girls, sisters and sisters.

She is fast with hands and feet and can read words, and she does things in a hurry. At the beginning, she made some jokes and made some small mistakes, and gradually became generous in her actions.

The point is that this little daughter-in-law is very good at tea and rice.

When she is free, she goes to help in the kitchen. She cooks a few clear side dishes with gusto.

There is one thing that Shi Mei is not happy about, Liu Yue'e is already dead.

The 16-year-old daughter-in-law usually knows how to use contraception, and for two years, she happened to be Shi Mei's helper.

Now that she's eighteen, she's about to give birth, no matter how capable she is, Shi Mei won't get much.

Shi Mei scolded Jia Xuan: "It's all your fault for being slow-tempered, brat. If I married back two years ago, my wife would be much more relaxed."

Jia Xuan chuckled.

Two years ago, he didn't know anyone.

This time, he went to the countryside to collect antiques. Unexpectedly, the antiques were not received, but a capable and handsome young daughter-in-law.

He went to this little daughter-in-law two years ago, and she would not marry him.

Liu Yue'e was divorced.

The other party is a cousin of the Liu family, who passed the examination last year as a scholar, and felt that the little landlord's cousin was worthless, so she resigned from the marriage and married the daughter of the head of Tonglu Academy.

This girl is all that's left.

Simply because the family lacked a caretaker, she made up her mind that she must marry someone with a better family background and better talents than her cousin.

Otherwise, I will not marry.

Then, Jia Xuan caught up.

Jia Xuan went to collect antiques, and when Liu Yue'e's mother suddenly fell ill, Jia Xuan lent some donkey carts to others to escort the sick.

He drove all the way, and when he arrived at the hospital, he paid for the medicine.

He came and went and got acquainted with others.

When I went to collect antiques again, I walked on a detour, and I also went to people's homes to ask for tea.

Then, Shi Mei sent Jia Xun's daughter-in-law to the house to spy on her, and when she got the word out, she invited the official media.

Jia Xuan had no parents, so Shi Mei asked Jia Dairu's wife, the sixth old lady, to come forward and make a marriage arrangement with him.

Hurry to marry people in on the eighth day of the winter month.

Liu Yue'e was unambiguous.

Jia Xuan gave a dowry of 500 taels of silver, and she brought back a dowry of 600 taels of silver.

This is commendable in small households.

Some people who don't pay attention to it can give you a dowry of 100 taels if you give a thousand dowry.

Shi Mei saw that this young daughter-in-law was a high-spirited person.

Therefore, after Mrs. Zhang gave birth in the twelfth lunar month, she was asked to come into the mansion to help.

In a blink of an eye, it is the 23th of the twelfth lunar month.

Jia Amnesty went to Beijing again with luggage, went home to celebrate the New Year, and escorted back the tax money from Jiangnan.

Jia Amnesty went to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects, and told Shi Mei that his concubine in the south of the Yangtze River was also Zhang's dowry girl, and she also gave birth to a daughter on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Jia She asked Shi Mei to give him a name.

Shi Mei was a little dazed.

When Jia She returned to Beijing in June, he didn't mention this matter?

Where did this kid come from?

The children were all born, and the family didn't know any information.

Shi Mei couldn't do anything to blame the scouts, she must have thought that Jia She would say so.

Shi Mei decided to hide it.

Anyway, he didn't come back, so he told Jia Amnesty to keep it a secret for the time being, and wait for Zhang's full moon to talk about it.

Otherwise, Mrs. Zhang would definitely feel uncomfortable if a girl gave birth to a child without telling her.

Let Shi Mei give this name to Mrs. Zhang as well.

Anyway, Mrs. Zhang insisted on giving her concubine.

Shi Mei didn't want to interfere with this, so as not to spoil the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jia Amnesty didn't care: "I'm not a kid, Mrs. Zhang is a virtuous person..."

Shi Mei stared: "I understand women's hearts, or do you?

Which woman is willing to let another woman give birth to her husband?

Only you kind of...

This kind of man will think that the mistress is very happy...

Forget it, let's not talk about it.

In short, listen to me, let’s talk about it after the first month, and tell the people around you, whoever dares to talk too much and ruin my business, will be punished! "

Jia She then became serious: "Son, remember."

Shi Mei said: "I am very satisfied with your daughter-in-law.

Be alert and protect yourself.

Your three sons all depend on her to become adults, so don't be careless.

You also said that she is very virtuous and offered to arrange a concubine for you.

You have to be worthy of this virtuousness, behave well, warm people's hearts with three kind words, coax a little, don't make people feel cold! "

Jia She responded with a smile, thinking that his mother was too wordy, and his daughter-in-law didn't know about it, so why coax her?

Then, when Jia Amnesty returned to her room, Mrs. Zhang burst into tears.

Jia Amnesty panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and the pleasant words flowed like water.

However, Shi Mei didn't hide the fact that the concubine gave birth to a granddaughter, and invited the old lady to have tea, and then said: "Then what, that concubine named Qing Ying, Xi'er, also gave birth to a daughter.

I'll let Xie'er keep it a secret for now, and wait until Xie'er's daughter-in-law is full moon.

Men are creatures without brains, you have to take care of your in-laws. "

The old lady Zhang was stunned for a moment, but said: "The girl gave it to someone back then, so these things must be expected.

Furthermore, we have all our sons and daughters, and it is a decent family to have a concubine. "

This time, Shi Mei has a serious understanding of Jia She's bastard thinking.

Otherwise, Shi Mei will misunderstand Jia She to change the core and become a love saint!

A person's ability can be improved, and his character can be shaped, but his nature will not change.

Jia She is lustful!

I can't change it for the rest of my life.

Food color also.

I hope it won't make you dizzy.

Mrs. Zhang felt a little disappointed.

However, she listened to Shi Mei and kept her daughter's concubine a secret.

Seeing Jia She is still very close.

After all, the two sons of the Zhang family also have concubines, but they don't have decent aunts or concubine children.

This is the rule of the Zhang family. Only when a man is forty and childless can he take a concubine and have children.

Once you have a child, you can only use the house girl when your wife is inconvenient.

However, Tongfang girls do not have the right to have children.

This is made clear at the beginning.

When she was old enough, Tongfang girl had a considerable dowry and returned to her hometown to marry.

This house rule is actually very good.

However, the men in Rongfu may not like it.

Shi Mei doesn't have this extravagant wish either.

But I hope that Jia Amnesty can respect the original spouse, be considerate of the original spouse, and have a harmonious family, that's enough!

Because of Shi Mei's persuasion, Jia Amnesty went to the main courtyard of the main house to talk with his first wife every day before entering the palace as an errand.

Then, Jia She entered the palace.

When Shi Mei saw Mrs. Zhang again, she was a happy model with a flushed face.

Shi Mei teased and greeted the spring: "My daughter dresses up as a mother.

Ying'er is a good girl. Since having you, your mother's face has become ruddy every day, which is more effective than grandmother's ginseng and bird's nest. "

Yingchun didn't know anything, when she felt someone touching her, she thought it was time for breastfeeding.

She closed her eyes and turned her head, her mouth was open, like a yellow-billed sparrow.

The mouth is pecking and pecking, and the mouth is looking for food.

Then, when he realized that he had been duped, he felt aggrieved immediately, opened his mouth wide, and burst into tears.

Only then did the nanny dare to come forward to pick up the child.

This time looking for a nanny, Shi Mei abandoned the nanny surnamed Li.

Anyone surnamed Li will be wiped out.

Shi Mei felt that as long as Mrs. Li was left behind, with Zhang's ability, no matter how cowardly Yingchun was.

There should be no one who would dare to row against a girl who was born in private.

Then, Jia Amnesty went home on the sixth day of the lunar new year and exchanged for another IOU from the household department, which only had [-] yuan left.

This time, Jia Amnesty handed over [-] silver again and put it into the public account.

Jia Amnesty knew about Jia Zheng's research on chiming bells.

Shi Mei guessed wrong.

Emperor Jiahe neither asked Jia She to report in the hall, nor did he reprimand him in the hall.

Instead, he accepted Jia Zheng's memorial and kept it.

This matter is up for discussion.

What Jia Amnesty meant was for Shi Mei to support Jia Zheng: "My son will make an agreement with Mrs. Zhang, and the second brother will study the cost of the chiming bell every year, and the family will support it.

Now Lian'er also has a title, but the second brother does not.

He wants to do one thing and we should support him. "

Shi Mei nodded: "Okay, but, you go and tell him yourself, I suggested it, but he rejected it."

In the past, the Wang family jumped up and down, always trying to get Jia Amnesty down.

Jia She hated the Wang family, and also hated Jia Zheng.

Now that things have changed, my mother is no longer biased, but the big house has taken advantage of it.

Jia Amnesty felt relieved, and wanted to make up for Jia Zheng.

Certainly, Dafang took all the credit for Sweet Potato.

In the end, Jia Zheng reached an agreement with Jia Amnesty that the research funds would be shared equally among the brothers.

If there is promise in the future, it will be shared equally between the two.

Of course, if it fails, everyone is out of luck.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Rong Mansion held a full moon wine for Jia She's daughter, Jia Ying.

Of all the children, only this one was born in good times.

The court is peaceful and the family is prosperous.

On this day, there was a hustle and bustle of carriages and horses on Rongning Street, old relatives and old friends, neighbors from left to right came together.

Then, the Rong Mansion had a special and not unexpected guest this year.

General Yu's wife brought Ms. Yu to visit.

The Yu family has gone to Beijing.

In last year's battle against the Tartars, Jia Zhen lost the life of the young leader.He was promoted by General Bai and became a hundred households.

Even if he is just a low-level official, he can still be regarded as giving an account to the Yu family.

Jia Zhenlai has been in Yu's family for three years, and if the girls of Yu's family don't marry him, there is only one way to become a monk.

The Yu family didn't want the girl to be alone for the rest of her life.

Jia Zhen also showed her sincerity, and the Yu family finally let go.

The family rushed back to Kyoto a few years ago, met with Jia Jing several times in private, and reached an agreement.

Xiaoding on the [-]th day of the first month and marriage on the [-]th day of the third month.

Speaking of which, Ms. Yu's dowry was prepared five years ago, and it has been sealed in the old house so far.

This time, you just need to move it out and clean it well before you can use it.

Three months is enough for gold and silver preparations.

Shi Mei is busy with Zhang's affairs because of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang didn't come over to bother her, she wanted to wait for the marriage to be settled in the first month, and report it together.

In the marriage of the two families, the primary problem is Jia Rong's problem.

Yang felt that Jia Rong should be taken back and let Ms. Yu teach her.

Jia Jing also agreed, but Jia Zhen was sullen and unhappy.

Taking it back and letting Ms. Yu take care of it is acknowledging Jia Rong's status as the eldest grandson.

Jia Zhen felt disgusted when she thought of Yang Qing'er and that cripple.

Even when he saw Jia Rong, he hated him and wanted to beat him up.

Jia Rong stepped forward to salute and called her father.

Jia Zhen didn't respond at all, and even spat at Jia Rong.

No matter how smart Jia Rong is, she never expected Jia Zhen to turn her face suddenly.

Jia Zhen's vicious look made Jia Rong's face turn purple with fright, and she almost lost her temper.

Yang was so distressed that she beat Jia Zhen, hugged Jia Rong and cried hard again.

The Yang family colluded with the Yu family, and only then did they know that Jia Zhen told the Yu family that Jia Rong was the son of an adulterer, not the blood of the Ning family.

He will not allow Jia Rong to go on the genealogy.

And guarantee that Ms. Yu's child must be the eldest son and grandson of Ningfu.

In the future, he will inherit the title and inherit the family business.

When Jia Jing heard the news, he scolded evil and spat out blood.

Shi Mei really has a big head.

It stands to reason that when Jia Zhen gets married, Jia Rong should go back to Ning Mansion and accept the teachings of her aunt.

This is the rule.

Ms. Yu was born in a general family, and she was trained by the court at a young age. She is exactly the daughter-in-law that the Ning Mansion needs.

I believe Jia Rong will not be particularly mean.

However, Jia Zhen made it clear that she did not recognize Jia Rong.

They even arranged that Jia Rong was the son of an adulterer, and deceived the Yu family, assuring that the daughter of the Yu family would give birth to the eldest son of the Ning family.

This put Jia Jing on the stove to roast.

To achieve the marriage, Jia Rong must be sacrificed.

If it is insisted that Jia Rong is the eldest son and grandson, Jia Zhen cannot get married.

If you marry someone else, you don't know what will happen in the future.

The Yu family also made their attitude clear and obeyed Jia Zhen in everything.

Why did the Yu family recognize a son that Jia Zhen didn't even recognize?

Jia Jing and even Ningfu have become a joke.

Jia Jing could only insist: "I will talk about how the title will be passed on later, I will recognize the daughter-in-law, and I will handle the marriage.

However, there is no doubt that Jia Rong is the eldest grandson of the Ning family. "

All three members of the Yu family have met Jia Rong and know that Jia Zhen is talking nonsense.

Then Jia Rong and Jia Zhen look exactly like each other, so how could they be children of adultery?

In fact, what Jia Zhen said was right, Jia Rong was pregnant before she got married, and she had a child by adultery.

However, after getting married, this matter was perfectly covered up.

Jia Zhen just exposed her ugliness.

Because he was wearing a cuckold, everyone in Kyoto knew about it, so there was no need to hide it.

Then Jia Rong's original sin generally exists, so it's hard to think about it.

Let alone get a little bit of light from him.

Shi Mei never imagined that Jia Zhen, who suffered from a second-degree illness, would be so obsessed.

Helpless, Yang's eyes went blind from crying, and Jia Zhen didn't change her words.

In the end, Jia Jing compromised, and Jia Rong was brought up by him and had nothing to do with Jia Zhen.

As for the family tree, Jia Zhen is not the patriarch at the moment.

Jia Jing said that if you want to add it, you must add it.

The two sides reached an agreement for the time being, and the marriage continued.

The Yu family hardly spoke about how much they were betrothed.

It was Jia Zhen who begged for the girls of Yu's family.

Thirty thousand silver dowry gift, dowry at will.

However, the Yu family said in this regard that they must follow the rules.

The Yu family did not have a dowry of [-] silver.

Therefore, the Ning Mansion is required to hire Wanliang, and they will be married with a dowry of 2 taels of silver.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Amnesty still went out of Beijing to Hangzhou as a deputy general.

Mrs. Zhang was not surprised that Jia She got a concubine's daughter.

She just felt aggrieved by being deceived and doubted by her former confidant girl.

Qing Ying concealed her pregnancy, she must have thought Zhang would take care of her, so she chose to conceal it.

Mrs. Zhang was somewhat resistant to this concubine in her heart, and didn't want to record it under her name.

Generally speaking, like Jia She, the aunt and concubine are only a few days away within a month. For the convenience of future marriages, they are usually recorded under the name of the aunt.

However, Zhang did not agree.

She said: "I have to take care of housework and four children. I'm afraid I can't take care of both. Let Qingying take care of it."

Then, in March, Ao Sakura was sent back to Kyoto along with the child.

Jia pardoned the stick, he thought Qing Ying had said it herself.

It turned out that he was deceived by this girl.

In a fit of rage, Qingying was dispatched back to Beijing.

The child didn't have a name, so Shi Mei asked Zhang to name it: "You are her mother, so you choose a name."

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "It's still Congchun, let's call it Xichun."

Shi Mei almost sprayed tea.

Xichun is not a concubine, nor is she from this mansion.

He is a descendant of Dongfu.

What a mess.

But what to do.

Zhang named her name, and Shi Mei couldn't just refute it, otherwise she would be asked why, and she didn't know how to explain it.

At this moment, Shimei has no confidence in how Baoyu and Tanchun will appear.

Not to mention Xichun and Yingchun, they are so similar.

The two sisters both look like Rongfu, with duck egg faces, double eyelids, small cherry mouths and straight noses.

No one would believe that they were not real sisters.

This is really true.

Shi Mei feels a little bit wronged for Mrs. Zhang.

In the blink of an eye in March, Jia Zhen got married for the second time.

Then, the Ning Mansion followed the rules of the first marriage.

Because, neither Jia Jing nor Jia Zhen felt that Ms. Yu should not be wronged.

Just as Jia Zhen cherishes Qin Keqing, she can't wait to give everything she has.

Now he wants to be so kind to Ms. Yu.

Then, on the second day of her marriage, Ms. Yu went to Rongfu to meet Jia Mu in person.

He also proposed that Jia Rong should be welcomed back to be educated.

Shi Mei said: "Your mother-in-law put the child here to prevent you from feeling uncomfortable. It is also to prevent Jia Zhen from hurting her.

Now that you've just got married, you'd better manage your marriage more. The discord between Rong Er and Zhen Er's father and son cannot be changed overnight.

If you insist on being stubborn with Zhen'er, it will only ruin the relationship between the two of you, and it will not help the matter.

Let's follow Zhen'er first, and slowly look for opportunities in the future, don't act too hastily. "

No matter what the motive is, Ms. Yu is willing to come this time. Shi Mei thinks that Ms. Yu at least knows how to take care of the overall situation.

Shows that she understands her responsibilities as a stepmother.

It is clear what is right and what is wrong.

Such a daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law who can start a family.

It's a pity that there was an episode in the middle, and there were scars where the beautiful picture was broken and continued.

However, in Shimei's case, Jia Zhen's success in not marrying the You family, not provoking the You family sisters, and not getting together with her father and son is already half the battle.

Shi Mei also thought about Jia Rong's situation for a long time, wondering if Jia Rong could be adopted by Jia Fu as an independent family.

In this way, the flaws in his identity will be covered up, and the Ning Mansion's assets will be divided into four or six, so life may not be impossible.

In this way, Jia Rong can be preserved, and the Rongning and Ning Prefectures will not break up because Jia Rong and the Yu family have more connections in the army.

Of course, this is unfair to Jia Rong.

However, whoever made his mother disrespect her, having a child by adultery is already unbearable, and she still wants to cheat in marriage.

It is also understandable for Jia Zhen not to let Jia Rong inherit the family business.

Shi Mei can't take the initiative to mention this, in the future when Jia Jing asks for help, Shi Mei will speak out.

Otherwise, Jia Jing insisted on setting up Jia Rong, and when Jia Jing's Yang family passed away in the future, Jia Zhen's temperament didn't know what cruelty she would do.

Jia Amnesty's concubine Qing Ying and her daughter return home, but Shi Mei doesn't intervene.

Mrs. Zhang did a good job, with two wet nurses and two foster nuns.

Two big girls and four little girls.

Shi Mei just mentioned something when Mrs. Zhang was choosing a nanny candidate: "Zhu'er's mother has dirty hands and feet. Someone exposed that she always likes to follow things from the house and likes to play cards with others. Such a person cannot Put it next to the girl.

In the future, pick a suitable opportunity and transfer her family to the farm. "

Mrs. Zhang replied: "My daughter-in-law knows that you didn't pick her to welcome the spring last time, and my daughter-in-law wouldn't pick her either.

One more thing, Qing Ying has already given birth to a child, should she be raised as an aunt? "

Shi Mei smiled: "This is a matter in your room, you can decide for yourself.

However, although a man has three wives and four concubines.

However, having too many wives and concubines is not conducive to harmony within the family, and it will also give people the impression that Sheer is greedy.A good daughter-in-law benefits three generations.

This benefits three generations, depending on whether the children are promising or not.It's not about how many concubines you have. "

Shi Mei made it clear that the matter between Qing Ying and the child was Zhang's own decision.

Zhang's face turned red, and she bowed her head in response: "My daughter-in-law will not be able to do so in the future."

Taking concubines and asking for children, Jia Amnesty's children are enough.

In the future, he wanted to enjoy himself in time, and no one objected.

This era has this service.

However, Shi Mei really doesn't like the birth of another concubine's children.

To be honest, Shi Mei finds it bothersome.

The grandson and granddaughter of the concubine are not good to love, and they slapped their daughter-in-law in the face.

Don't love, how does a little child face this complicated society.

If you don't teach people how to behave in the world, if you go out in the future, it will only hurt your family's reputation, it doesn't hurt or itch.

It is a crime to lose a small life.

For Xichun who was born, Shi Mei still hoped that she could get a good education.

That's why I specifically mentioned the matter of the nanny.

In this era, children spend more time with their wet nurses than their biological mothers.

In a child's growth career, it is almost half the status of a mother.

Therefore, the character of the nanny is very important.

A few days later, Mrs. Zhang brought Qing Ying to kowtow to Shi Mei, and she was officially included in Jia Amnesty's gate wall and became an aunt.

Seeing Zhang's face, Shi Mei asked her to kowtow from a distance, rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets, and let her go down.

From the beginning to the end, Shi Mei didn't speak.

The duty of teaching concubines is the responsibility of the matron.

As a mother-in-law, Shi Mei only needs to give advice to Mrs. Zhang.

Although Qingying cannot be said to be a mistress.

However, Shi Mei couldn't do anything to flatter or suppress her son's concubine.

Therefore, it is best not to meet.

Qing Ying herself regretted it very much, she lied to it, thinking that she could get a man with one ask.

In the end, it was a daughter.

Not only offended the mistress, but also offended Jia She, and was driven back.

If I want to have a son in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Qingying seems to want to please Shimei, several times the nanny came to Rongqingtang to pay her respects with Xichun, and Qingying also came.

Grabbing the errands of Amber Coral, serving tea behind the curtain, in a hurry.

Shimei sees that she wants to curry favor with her, so she tells Madam Lai that Xichun can come and go in and out of Rongqing Hall at will, just like other grandchildren.

However, Qingying is not allowed to come in and out casually.

If Shi Mei gave Qingying face, it would be tantamount to recognizing her as his wife.

Where is Zhang's face?

Furthermore, Shi Mei didn't have such a low-level compulsion.

end of March.

Emperor Jiahe suddenly invited Jia Zheng, but the bell in the palace suddenly stopped.

This self-ringing bell is an annual gift from Marquis Yan to Emperor Jiahe, and Emperor Jiahe loves it for 10 minutes.

At this time, the missionaries all went back to Haijiang and Jiangnan, and no one in Kyoto understood this.

Emperor Jiahe remembered that Jia Zheng seemed to have studied this.

Then someone summoned Jia Zheng to enter the palace.

Although Jia Zheng has been in the Six Departments for more than three years.

However, he has never met the Holy Spirit alone.

When Jia Zheng received the news from the servant, he was in a daze.

Ask His Majesty Dai Quan why he summoned him.

After being beaten, Dai Quan did not dare to talk nonsense.

Jia Zheng was apprehensive, sweating from fright.

Then, after Jia Zheng entered the palace, His Majesty's chime bell broke.

Emperor Jiahe said: "I heard from you last time that you seem to have studied the chiming bell. Let me see why the chiming bell doesn't go away."

After Jia Zheng disassembled the self-ringing bell, he found that the eunuch was nervous and afraid of making mistakes, so the winding was too tight and the mainspring was broken.

Then, Emperor Jiahe said: "Can you fix it? If you can fix it, I can think about it. Your memorial."

When Jia Zheng heard the words, it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, but he suppressed his excitement: "I can give it a try, but time..."

Emperor Jiahe said: "Time is fine, how long do you need, half a month or a month?"

Jia Zheng didn't know how many days it would take to finish.

However, he felt that the longer the time, the more calm it would be.

Then, Jia Zheng took the broken spring back to the Ministry of Industry, and let the casting masters see if they could make steel sheets of the same quality.

All the casting masters said that the steel sheet is not difficult, the difficulty is to achieve this thickness.

Then, Jia Zheng stayed in the forging workshop all day, and even went to the forge in person.

Shi Mei wanted to say that there is actually another way, which is to directly melt the broken springs and reconnect them. It only needs to make the street part as thin and tough as the original springs.

In this way, Emperor Jiahe's mission can be completed quickly and Emperor Jiahe's support can be obtained.

Moreover, Emperor Jiahe only said that it would be repaired, but did not say that it must be rebuilt.

However, Jia Zheng didn't know why he was so stubborn, so he wanted to rebuild.

Shi Mei was about to remind, but held back.

In the future, when researching self-ringing bells, this kind of thing must be built by oneself, and it is not a bad idea to do an experiment right now.

If after half a month, Jia Zheng still has no direction, I will remind him at that time.

This is as simple as stirring the glass without bubbles.

But
