old lady in red

Jia She was very happy for a while.

When Shi Mei asked him about the arrangements for Jia Cong, Jia She finally woke up and realized one thing: the previous work was useless.

Originally, he planned to send Jia Cong to Shaanxi, Gansu to serve as a county magistrate.

These places are poor and backward, and political achievements can be made in three to five years.

Now I can't go, all my efforts and favors are wasted.

"Jia Cong is also from Hanlin, so he will be rotated among the six in the future?"

Shimei and Zhang looked at him.

Instantly, Jia She felt like an idiot.

There are already two people in Rongfu who have rotated in the six departments.

Jia Zheng was in the Ministry of Industry, and Jia Lian was in the Ministry of War, serving concurrently as the Imperial Guard.

Where is Jia Cong going?

An imperial court, where every department of the Rongfu occupies the entirety?

Because of Wang's popularity, Jia Zhu has already sought a foreign appointment.

He wanted to take his family, mainly to take away his mother, Wang, so that she would not cause trouble at home.

The family found him an official position as the magistrate of Henan Prefecture.

Henan is rich and prosperous, and Tongzhi is only an assistant official, which is good for Jia Zhu to study.

Jia Lian also has to go out of Beijing to practice before he can be promoted.

However, Jia Lian cannot leave Beijing at the moment.

He has to protect Shuiyang's safety.

Jia Amnesty was blinded.

He's not exactly a mentor.

Jia Cong is currently in the stage of self-expansion: it turns out that he is no worse than his brothers!

Shi Mei finally suggested: "Let's stop messing up, Cong'er usually listens to his uncle and grandfather the most, why don't you listen to what Mr. Zhang has to say?"

Jia She slapped his head: "Oh, how come I forgot the old man."

Jia Amnesty sent the Zhang family back to Ning.

This is not surprising in the eyes of outsiders.

The grandson has been taught by Mr. Zhang for many years, and he is a good scholar, so he should come to thank him.

Mrs. Zhang didn't go to the inner house for the first time, but went to the study together.

Mr. Zhang couldn't help staring at his old daughter.

Husband and wife meet and greet each other.

Mr. Zhang said, "What kind of charter is this? Why doesn't the girl go to see your grandmother?"

Zhang's face turned red.

Jia Amnesty started talking.

Mr. Zhang snorted: "The art of the emperor is not surprising."

Zhang Shifu said: "We all know it, but how can we tell the children? My daughter is afraid that their brothers will not get along."

Mr. Zhang said: "There are still three years, what are you doing in such a hurry, you have to trust your child.

Of course it's good to be respectful to brothers and sisters, but the National People's Congress has a big heart, and it's normal for Cong'er to make a fuss.

Otherwise, your family is monolithic, who will use you at ease? "

The old man looked at Jia She: "Think about your brothers back then?"

Brothers are like wolves, brothers are like tigers and leopards!

Jia Amnesty blushed.

Shi Mei was surprised when she heard the news: "Master Zhang is saying that we can rule by doing nothing?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Father said that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and we will see how things change.

Cong'er was in high spirits, it was not a good time to pour cold water on her.

The daughter-in-law is afraid that someone will instigate her.

But my father said that only in this way would people dare to use our family. "

Shi Mei was in a very depressed mood.

At the beginning, the two brothers were useless, so mothers were worried.

Now that her grandson is so capable, she still has to worry about it.

In the end, Shi Mei also felt that Mr. Zhang's method seemed to be the safest.

Grandmother, father and mother cannot arrange for a lifetime.

At the beginning of April, Jia Zhang entered the Guozijian.

Subsequently, Jia Zhu's appointment came down.

Jia Zhu took Hu Yanran and the Wang family out of Beijing to serve as an official in Henan.

Xue Wang's mother completely set up the road of Rongfu.

Jia Rong was very competitive, and he passed the Wu Jinshi examination in March.

Entered the Jinyiwei, became the commander of the Jingwei, the commander of the town and the governor, and the governor of the fifth rank, and mixed with Bai Jintang.

Ye Zheng was just a martial arts talent, recommended by Jia She, and became a guard outside the court.

Guards from outside shifts are not as easy to promote as guards from inside shifts, but their responsibilities are also small.

Like last time during the Mid-Autumn Palace Change, the guards in the internal shift were killed or injured, and those who were alive were sent to jail.

The outside guards are all fine.

Ye Yun siblings are very satisfied.

It's good to have errands.

Then, Jia Lian sent back news that Jia Cong was recruited by Emperor Chunzheng from time to time to serve as the imperial servant.

Jia Cong was very happy to be favored by the new emperor, and said that he once wanted to join Jin Yiwei, but his mother didn't want him to join the army, so he gave up.

The new emperor was very interested in hearing this, and ordered Jia Cong to compete with the imperial guards.

Jia Cong had the upper hand against the two imperial guards alone.

The new emperor praised Jia Cong for being both civil and military.

After that, Jia Cong almost became Emperor Chunzheng's personal bodyguard.

Jia Cong's fighting spirit was high all day long, and he was proud of the spring breeze.

In three or five days, I will have a banquet with my friends on horse races.

Jia Zhang and Jia Yu (Bao Yu) have become Jia Cong's fans.

This year, the Jia Mansion did not recruit any new tutors.

Because both Jia Zhang and Jia Yu entered the Imperial College.

The private school stopped.

Jia Qiang no longer goes to school, and follows Jia Jing, helping with family affairs and managing the business of Ningfu.

Jia Xun's son Jia Yun ([-] years old) and Jia Xun's son ([-] years old) went to study ethnology.

Then, Jia Cong started asking Ye Yun for money because he was doing business outside every day.

Jia Cong had no silver deposits.

His total private property is only more than 1000 taels (monthly bills and lucky money accumulated over more than ten years), and after marriage, it is handed over to Ye Yun for safekeeping.

In less than three months, on the Longevity Day in June, he couldn't even come up with the birthday gift of two hundred silver.

Ye Yun concealed it for him, but he didn't know that the whole family was staring at Jia Cong.

Then, in August, Ye Yun diagnosed Ximai.

The whole family is overjoyed.

Jia Cong Zhongqiuyue wanted to treat guests again, and asked Ye Yun for two hundred silver.

Ye Yun couldn't help showing a sad face.

Although the Rong Mansion hired a lot of money, and her dowry was also quite a lot, it couldn't afford to spend several thousand taels a year like this?

Jia Lian came forward to find Jia Cong and asked him how he spent it.

He is now in the Hanlin Academy, and he also has a monthly salary of a few taels of silver.

The family still has a monthly rule of ten taels of silver.

He also has the title of Lieutenant of Qingche and Lieutenant of Yunqi, with a salary of 240 taels a year.

Adding to the savings of 1000 taels, it turned out to be less than three months spent.

This is really unreasonable.

Jia Cong blushed a little, and walked away: "This is my business, and I didn't spend any money from the public. My brother is too lenient."

Jia Lian holds Jia Cong back.

Jia Cong wanted to fight Jia Lian because of his martial arts.

Jia Lian treated Jia Cong like a joke.

Jia Cong is also working in front of the imperial court now, so he can't hurt his face.

Jia Lian tapped his acupuncture points like lightning.

Jia Cong couldn't exert all his strength.

Then, Jia Lian stuffed walnuts into Jia Cong's mouth so that Jia Cong would not frighten the women and children in the house by yelling.

Twist the chick generally screwed on Cuiwei Mountain.

On Cuiwei Mountain, Jia Lian clicked on his acupuncture points.

Jia Cong was free, blushed with shame, and shouted angrily: "Second elder brother bullied others. You succeeded in training but I failed. You bully the weak with the strong. It's not fair to win."

Jia Lian said: "The secrets of our practice are the same, the masters are all grandmothers, if you can't practice by yourself, who is to blame?

Do you still want to be a general?

When the two armies are fighting against each other, you can't beat the enemy chieftain, so you can also call it unfair?

If I were an enemy chieftain, would you still have a mouth to speak? "

Jia Cong's arrogance was extinguished: "This is not a battlefield either."

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "Because it's not a battlefield, you can do whatever you want? Do you know why I want to beat you up today?"

Jia Cong hummed: "How would I know, you are an older brother, you can beat him up if you like."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You are really ugly and don't know yourself. Let me tell you, sister Ye Yun is happy."

Jia Cong burst into laughter, "Ah, really?"

Jia Cong ran away, but was caught by Jia Lian: "Do you have the face to be a father?"

Jia Cong was unconvinced: "Why can't I be a father, isn't that right?"

When Jia Daishan died, although Jia Lian was young, he also felt that the mountains and rains were coming, and the human feelings were cold and warm.

Shi Mei never hides things from Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

Jia Lian studied with Jia Min and Shi Mei when he was a child, and later the family repaid the debts and separated. He and Jia Zhu both experienced it first-hand.

I have some awareness of the difficulties of the mansion at that time.

Therefore, Jia Lian has a very strong sense of belonging and responsibility to the family.

His understanding of the family in his heart is to work together and take care of the overall situation.

Since Jia Cong became sensible, Rong Mansion has been thriving.

Therefore, although the two brothers received the same education, their understanding of the world and the family are very different.

In Shi Mei's eyes, Jia Cong is somewhat similar to Jia Lian in the original novel.

A noble son with both civil and military skills, a confident and flamboyant son of an aristocratic family.

Among the peers in Kyoto, it can be said to be a leader.

He is a second-generation official and rich second-generation with excellent character and learning.

Jia Lian smiled lightly: "The son is yours, of course you are his father.

What I am asking is, do you have the face to let your son learn from you?Self-righteous, after taking a Jinshi examination, you think you are a circle bigger than the sky?

Spending money like running water, without any calculations, reaching out to your daughter-in-law, don't you feel guilty?

When you were young, you had a lot of ideas and wanted to be a general, the bravest person, and defend your home and country.

So practice martial arts diligently.

Later, he wanted to be the Imperial College Jijiu, become the leader of scholars, and studied hard.

These are great ideals, and you act on them.

What do you want to do now, have you thought about it carefully?

Stay in six parts, that's fine.

Now half a year has passed since February, what have you learned?

I have practiced for three years, and I have clearly figured out the twists and turns of the Ministry of War. I am not talking big, but if you give me the Ministry of War, I can play it well.

Give me the bodyguard, I can afford it too.

Those of my same age were envious and jealous, but they wanted to curry favor with me.Because they can't beat me.

Brother Zhu mainly practiced in the Ministry of Industry, building city gardens, repairing bridges and roads, clearing rivers, building embankments, making clocks and watches, burning porcelain, burning glass, four treasures of the study, publishing books, he is proficient in all fields.

When he arrived in Henan, he could develop the local humanistic economy and build the strongest city wall.

What do you want to do in three years, have you thought about it?

Serving as a servant to His Majesty for the rest of your life?

There are three tripods!

Do you know, why do all your concubines reject you?

You have occupied the position of the Three Tripod Armor.

Your classmates in the same year regarded you as a sneak peek through the back door. "

Jia Cong's face turned purple again.

My brother is saying that he is not worthy of virtue.

There are rules in all walks of life, and he cannot cross the Three Tripod Armor.

At least in the three years of experience, you can't go past them.

Then, Jia Cong stood up, put his hands on his sides, and stood upright.

Jia Cong returned to the mansion with his head drooping, and getting the good news of his son only made him feel even more ashamed.

When Jia Amnesty saw this, how could he go to the imperial court?

He twisted Jia Cong up and threw it to Mr. Zhang: "Father, this is the consequence of your inaction. How do you fix it?"

Mr. Zhang didn't mean anything, he asked Jia Cong to drink with him, and then drove Jia Cong away: "I went to Mobei all my life to drink the northwest wind and eat snow water, and I didn't lose my face.

You come to have a meal with me and droop your face.

I have promoted you to the Jinshi position, and it is not tiring enough, still want me to hold you?

Do you want to be shameless?Get out! "

To put it bluntly, Mr. Zhang still ruled by doing nothing.

Jia Cong already knew he was ashamed, so what else could he say?

No need to teach, you should know how to do it.

Jia Cong went back and thought about it, the second uncle was in the engineering department, and the second brother was in the military department, what should he do?

Cadre department.

Although delayed for several months.

However, the children of the Rong Mansion are good at cleaning up the accounts, and even bad debts can be sorted out.

As soon as Jia Cong said he wanted to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Jia Lian entrusted someone to throw him to the Ministry of Household Affairs without Jia Amnesty.

Tomorrow, the servant of the household department has a son or nephew who will be thrown directly to the military department, or thrown to the Jinyiwei of the Holy Army.

In the days that followed, Jia Cong was still called into the palace.

However, in my spare time, I practice in the household department.

Starting from the most basic sorting of warehouse accounts, sorting out the account books accumulated over the years, and performing cumbersome income and expenditure accounting.

Jia Cong first went to Guangyingku to check the accounts.

Then go to the Banknote Printing Bureau to calculate the accounts.

Of course, all you can see are the books that match the facts.

It depends on whether you can understand it or not.

Soon, Jia Cong's talent was revealed.

Jia Cong has his own set of methods to clean up the bill.

At the end of the month, the principal asked about the accounting of the warehouse.

The two concubines who arrived at the household department two months earlier than Jia Cong reported that they were cleaning up before they knew the way.

Jia Cong has already explained the inventory situation of Guangyingku under his control.

The accounting situation of the Banknote Printing Bureau is also clearly stated.

Jia Cong was attracted by Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Yunnan.The Department of Cleaning Officials in Yunnan is the busiest place in the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is in charge of the sales of money and grain in Yunnan, the taxation of various factories, and water affairs.

Jia amnesty and Jia Lian were very happy.

The errands of the Qingli Division in Yunnan are the most complicated, not only in charge of money and grain taxation, but also involving Caoke, Cangke, Zhike, and Huofang.

Jia Cong has a clear understanding of this matter in Yunnan, and he can also gain a foothold in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

When he arrived at the place, he was in charge of the money and food of the whole family, and he had it at his fingertips.

Jia Cong still went out to drink flower wine and play tea.

But he is more restrained than before, and knows how to live within his means.

They asked him to go there three or five times. He was busy with errands, and his wife was pregnant, which became a good excuse.

Shimei and Zhang shi heaved a sigh of relief.

Jia Cong gradually adapted to society from a sunny boy.

Shimei and Zhang discovered the loopholes in their education of children from Jia Cong?

Educating children cannot be blindly educated.

Shimei teaches the children to be positive, to be compassionate to farmers, to pity the poor and the weak, and to repay the society after being rich.

They are not taught to deal with intrigue and cunning.

This is mainly because Jia Zhu and Jia Lian became adults so smoothly.

Shimei and Zhang ignored it.

Although Jia Zhu and Jia Lian did not deliberately educate them, they themselves experienced the rise and fall of Rongfu.

Even if it's just scratching the surface, that's enough.

In fact, Jia Amnesty should be responsible for this task.

Obviously, Jia Amnesty does not know how to educate his son.

The children of poor families have been in charge of the family early, and what they are talking about is an experience, a cognition and defense against disasters.

Shi Mei entrusted this task to Jia She, and asked him to speak out.

Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, after picking and choosing, Mrs. Zhang finally made up her mind and got engaged to Yingchun.

Yingchun Xu was given to the second son of Dali Siqing.

This second son is 17 years old and has the reputation of a scholar.

Now he is studying in Guozijian.

The hometown of the minister of Dali Temple is in Zhili.

The second son's daughter-in-law does not need to stay at home to serve her mother-in-law, but can be sent out with her husband.

Xichun promised Feng Ziying.

This Feng Ziying was her mother who came to propose to Mrs. Zhang in person.

Jia Amnesty is very happy to marry Feng Tang.

Feng Tang's wife doesn't care that Xichun is a concubine.

She has met Xichun in person, Xichun is bright and generous, and her signs are capable.

She made it clear that she didn't care about the concubines.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang agree.

In fact, the two marriages did not determine which daughter it was.

However, Zhang stubbornly dislikes generals.

Jia Amnesty also likes Feng Ziying.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to give it to Xichun reluctantly.

Shi Mei thought that Yingchun died in the general's house in the original book, but she didn't stop her.

Anyway, Jia Amnesty liked Feng Ziying, as long as he was a son-in-law, he didn't care who he was.

Mrs. Zhang called Qingying and told Xichun about their marriage.

Qingying learned that Xichun's son-in-law is a nobleman, but she really kowtowed three times to Mrs. Zhang.

Qingying has been very honest these years, and took the initiative to take charge of Zhang's sewing room, except for hiding to do needlework, she rarely took the initiative to come forward.

Mrs. Zhang treated her well, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she didn't stop Xichun from meeting her.

The two marriages of welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring have already entered the twelfth lunar month.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and Jia Lian still entered the palace.

The ancestor worship is still performed by Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong, Jia Zhang and Jia Yu.

Jia Zhu asked the housekeeper Li Xing to send back three cars of Henan Tuyi, and asked the family to send favors.

Then, Jia Zhu told the family the good news that Hu Yanran was pregnant.

Shi Mei was very happy: "Xuan'er is two and a half years old, she should be pregnant."

Zhang's eyes lit up: "Lan Er is also two years old?"

Shi Mei poked Zhang Shi: "I should be happy to be pregnant, but it's not easy to rush, don't put pressure on Ling girl.

Besides, girl Yun is only pregnant, and girl Ling is pregnant again, and they are engaged to welcome the spring and Xichun at the beginning of the new year. Are you busy? "

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I'm really going to get pregnant, and I'm happy to die."

Shi Mei tapped on the table: "Hey, hey, today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, so don't be taboo."

Mrs. Zhang said by herself: "The bad ones don't work, but the good ones work."

Shi Mei smiled: "You go, don't make me laugh."

Yingchun Xichun is engaged.

Shi Mei felt that time was running out, so she used her spiritual power to guide and assist her in cultivation.

Xichun has made greater progress than Yingchun, but it is still far from practicing qi into the body.

Shi Mei was very depressed. She suspected that these two people were not the souls of the two girls in the original book at all.

Otherwise, the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, who are also well-known on the list, how could their foundation be poor?

However, these two girls are physically strong and have already surpassed women of the same age in this era.

The first month of the year.

The Rong Mansion began to entertain guests from the first day of the first lunar month, mainly the people from the Back Street, and the people from Jinling.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Zhang's water spirit returned to Ning.

The married daughter of the Rong Mansion, Jia Min Yuanchun also went back to her natal family to visit relatives and celebrate the New Year.

The Rong Mansion held a banquet for Jia Min and Yuanchun's two great aunts.

All the clan members in the back street came to visit, and the gifts received by the two daughters piled up into a hill.

Of course, the red envelopes sent out are not old or young.

In short, everyone is happy.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Ning Mansion hosted a banquet for the two aunts, and invited several daughter-in-laws and nieces from the back street to accompany the guests.

Mrs. Zhang was worried about her pregnant daughter-in-law, and Gui Ning, her aunt and niece, returned to Rong Mansion in the afternoon.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Jia Min and Yuan Chun returned home separately.

Jia Min went home mainly to entertain Qingyu's classmates.

Yuan Chun went home because he wanted to go home to take care of his grandparents.

And her father-in-law and mother-in-law also went to Beijing.

Yuanchun's sister-in-law was arranged by the family to work as a knife and pen official in the household department because her husband failed in the imperial examination three times, and she was upset.

Now there are three sisters-in-law in the Du family, Yuan Chun and the eldest sister-in-law are all Mrs. Hanlin, as long as she is the wife of Juren.

The knife and pen official will at most be a fourth-rank official in the future.

Don't want to be the first or second grade in your life.

She bowed her head for the rest of her life.

Yuanchun's natal family gave Du's family four annual gifts at once.

Ningfu, Rongfu and Jiazheng each have one copy, and Jiazhu returns the other.

Her natal family only had one gift, which was [-]% less than the Du family's annual gift.

She also felt ashamed, and went back to her natal home to argue with the sister-in-law in charge.

In this way, when I came home in the third day of junior high school, I said I was sick.

Originally, Mrs. Du Ge asked Yuan Chun to play at her natal home until the seventh day of the lunar new year, and then go home after seeing her father and uncle.

As a result, Yuan Chun was too embarrassed to stay longer when he heard that his sister-in-law was ill.

Mrs. Zhang packed the fresh melons and fruits of Rongfu for Yuanchun, some of which were self-produced, and some were given by Jia Xun's fruit shop. In short, they always packed a cart of gifts.

The Yang family of Ningfu also packed half a carload of gifts for her.

Jia Min gave half a car as a gift.

Another gift from Wang Shuhua, a member of the tribe, pulled a total of four carriages back.

Yuan Chun is a smart person, so there is no need to say much.

Shi Mei told her to go back and take good care of her in-laws and grandparents.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Shi Mei told Zhang's mother-in-law and Ye Yun's daughter-in-law to rest for a day.

She personally took Yingchun Xichun and Tanchun to make a broth pot with three flavors of spicy and fresh soup.

Then prepare various meat slices: beef, mutton, pork slices, fish slices, chicken breast slices, pork liver, chicken liver, foie gras.

More than a dozen kinds of vegetables were prepared: spinach, Chinese cabbage, toon sprouts, coriander shepherd's purse, wolfberry sprouts, bean skins, golden sprouts, mung bean vermicelli and other side dishes.

Own a dish to eat.

Then, there is a table for the men and a table for the female relatives, and there are three pots on each table.

As a result, Baoyu Jia Cong and Jia Zhang rounded up the meat.

Shimei Zhang's Ye Yun Yingchun sisters like to eat vegetables.

Yingchun said: "Eating table seats is not as comfortable as eating hot pot. It would be nice to treat guests to hot pot."

Mrs. Zhang just whitened her with her eyes. Wouldn't it make people laugh to death with a hot pot banquet?

But there is a bad way to say it, because I am afraid that my mother-in-law will be suspicious.

But Shi Mei didn't care: "Well, it's not easy, if you don't want to have a banquet, just come, I'll make it for you."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Mother, don't spoil them too much. Who will spoil them like this when you go to your in-law's house tomorrow?"

Shi Mei said: "Because it's not free to go to my in-law's house, I have to live comfortably for a few years."

Yingchun Xichun acted like a baby next to Shimei: "I like grandma the most."

Mrs. Zhang said reproachful words, but her eyes were full of smiles: "I just like girl Tanchun, she is so cute and sensible."

This table just lacks Xiangyun.

Xiangyun's mother was dying of illness.

Xiangyun went to Biyun Temple to accompany her, wondering if he could survive this severe winter.

The imperial doctor said, after the severe winter, in the spring, I'm afraid I can live another year.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

We welcome the spring and cherish the spring together with a small ceremony.

Rongning Street is covered in red and colorful, and it is very lively.
