old lady in red

Chapter 185 Opportunity

Beginning in March of this year, after the trees were planted in various provinces.

Start planning to plant flowers and plants.

The nurseries in Rongfu are selling well.

Especially the precious flowers and trees, plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, peony and peony, are particularly popular.

Peach, plum and apricot blossoms are also selling very well.

Concubine De and other six concubines will visit relatives on August [-]th and September [-]th.

Osmanthus, chrysanthemum, gardenia, jasmine, and Phalaenopsis are all open in the first month.

The demand for Chinese roses, roses, and roses is also large.

For the flowers of Wu's family, Rongfu just wanted to quote a price of 1000 taels of silver.

At the beginning Jia Yun only replanted a few trees in the Grand View Garden, and received 200 taels of silver.

1000 taels of silver is not enough to buy two pots of famous orchids.

The Wu family moved 36 pots of orchids from Rongfu.

Rong Mansion is doing this to save face for Emperor Chunzheng.

For 1000 taels of silver, the Rong Mansion couldn't handle it at all, so they only let the Wu family go to the Procurement Office and the House of Internal Affairs to hand it over.

If they can save the 1000 taels of silver, it is also the skill of their Wu family.

The Rong Mansion also has to pay a sum of money for the Wu family, which is the tax that should be handed over for this flower transaction.

Regardless of whether Concubine De and Emperor Chunzheng care about it or not, this is the filial piety of the Rongfu as courtiers to Emperor Chunzheng and his mother.

At the beginning of April, the Zhang family sent Lin Zhixiao, the second housekeeper, to Zigui County to give birth gifts.

By the way, he sent two midwives away, and selected two wet nurses to go with him during the family birth.

Qu Feng's natal family also sent a housekeeper to accompany them.

Early May.

Jia Xun sent back news that Baoyu and Jiayun had passed the government and college examinations, and they were only waiting for the August scientific examination and Qiu Wei.

The eighth day of May.

After Tanchun passed Dading, the bride price was 5 taels.

The wedding is scheduled for next March.

This year's Longevity Day, the emperor did not entertain civil and military officials, but hosted a banquet for people over 73 years old within three hundred miles of Kyoto in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

All civil and military officials are preparing gifts for longevity.

However, the emperor ordered Jia Zheng that he did not want the gold, silver and jewels from the Rong Mansion, and asked the Rong Mansion to bear the melons, fruits, vegetables, and tea for the banquet.

There is no problem with melons, fruits and vegetables, only the quality is different.The rest of Renrui ate ordinary vegetables.

The emperor ate spiritual plants.

Although the aura contained in it is not so strong, it is enough to maintain health and delay aging.

The emperor is 84 this year.

He had a stroke in his octogenarian years. In the past ten years, his condition has not continued to deteriorate, and he has gradually recovered.

The effect of this spiritual vegetable can be seen.

On the same day, Shi Mei also received a food box from His Majesty.

But it is the secret recipe of the eighth-rank court, and there is also the southern fruit lychee banana passion fruit.

Dai Quan came to give gifts and proclaim the decree.

There is no imperial decree, only the emperor's oral order.

The emperor still praised Shi Mei as a loyal person.

Shi Mei criticized the emperor as a cheapskate in her heart.

Since he is said to be a loyal person, why not give the imperial pen an imperial edict?

If you bury the imperial decree in a box, and if you are lucky enough to return to modern times in the future, and then dig it out, wouldn't it be a fortune?

Shi Mei was discussing here, and Dai Quan asked someone to take out a brocade box from the sedan chair again, but it was a picture of a lady of Tang Bohu from the previous dynasty.

The owner, Mrs. Shi, has a picture of a hut with apricot blossoms.

It is a gift from Jia Daishan to the owner.

Now, what the emperor bestowed on Shi Mei was the picture of a lady with peony.

Shi Mei looked at this chubby Tang Dynasty version of the beauty, she didn't know why, but she was busy thanking her.

But Dai Quan said: "Mrs. Duchess, please don't kneel. The Holy One has ordered you not to enter the palace to thank you. Thank you!"

Shi Mei looked at the big two characters on the scroll - Tang Yin.She was secretly happy, if this was brought back to modern times, her wealth would double.

Even if they don't sell, the two authentic works of Tang Yin are enough for her to break into the circle of cultural celebrities in Kyoto.

Shi Mei is full of regret.

Oh, what a pity!

That night, Jia Cong's letter arrived.

Jia Cong and Ye Zheng had daughters at the same time.

Zhang is very sorry.

However, Shi Mei went to Jia Daishan's front and offered three injections of fragrance, and praised Jia Daishan: "You are still more in charge, and you didn't let them cause a big disaster."

Jia Cong lives in remote Zigui County, so it is impractical to send porridge and rice.

However, Shimei and Zhang's love for their younger generation cannot be ignored.

Shimei, Zhang, Yang, Jia Min, Yuanchun, Yingchun, Xichun, Tanchun, Shuiling, Mei Xiner, Yu, Xu, Wang Shuhua.

And Jia Xun, Jia Xun, and Yuxiu all gave the two children a golden lock of longevity.

A total of 32 gold locks of various kinds were packed into sixteen boxes.

There is also the newly harvested new wheat, which is divided into several stones.

And promised that when the new rice is harvested, I will send some more.

In any case, children should not be treated badly.

Mrs. Zhang asked Jia Wei to print a pair of little feet and bring them to Ye Yun.

Besides, Mrs. Zhang and Shi Mei opened their own private warehouses, and packed two copies of fine cotton cloth, cotton and silk, and silk brocade.

Ye Jun and Ye Zheng each have one serving.

I also packed two big boxes of nourishing medicinal materials from the warehouse, ginseng, bird's nest, notoginseng, red ginseng, and angelica scutellaria, and each of Ye Yun's sister and brother had a portion.

Also brought to Zigui County is the calligraphy written by Jia She himself, and the name given to his granddaughter: Jia Han.

Don't underestimate the names given by grandparents, this is a blessing for the younger generation.

Zhang also told his daughter-in-law Ye Yun that when the ancestral hall opens on the Double Ninth Festival, Jia Han will be given a family tree.

The gift for Ye Yun has left, and Mei Xiner finally has good news.

That day, Mei Xiner rinsed her mouth with green salt in the morning and suddenly felt nauseous.

She didn't notice it herself.

It was early this day because Jia Wei wanted to eat distilled fish.

Shi Mei made a plate for Cheng Chong's grandson.

Jalan Jiawei didn't finish eating.

In the end, when Mei Xiner came to pay her respects, smelling the smell of fish, she immediately spit out tears.

Shi Mei winked at Nanny Lai.

Later, Nanny Lai sent Shui Ling out and said: "Second Young Mistress, our old lady got up early today and sneezed several times. The slave girl said to ask the imperial doctor, but the old lady is not allowed to tell.

The old slave was very uneasy, and felt that he should tell Second Mistress..."

Shui Ling was studying Mei Xin'er, when he heard this, he felt blessed, and hurriedly said: "Nurse Lai is very thoughtful, the old ancestor's body is not sloppy, thank you, Nanny Lai."

When Shui Ling went back, he asked someone to take a sign to invite the imperial physician.

Here, however, they gave Madam Lai a reward in a serious manner.

It is said that Nanny Lai has worked hard to take care of the ancestors.

He also ordered the kitchen to add food to Madam Lai.

Nanny Lai was holding a red envelope of 20 taels of silver, plus two rulers, and a table of wine and food, she felt embarrassed and ran to thank Shi Mei.

Shi Mei said: "This is the dignity you should have, just put it away.

Originally, you were also in your seventies, so you didn't have to work as an errand for a long time.

You are not willing to go back, but you are willing to accompany me, and I am also willing to use it.

They don't dare to order your real servants. "

Nanny Lai was busy saluting: "Your maidservant is a maidservant in the first place, so I dare not trust you."

In this life, the Lai family really didn't care much.

The young master from the back street of Rongfu is here, and that is also the young master.

Although I would like to say hello to Nanny Lai.

However, Mammy Lai and Lai Da did not dare to stand up and return the salute.

It is impossible for slaves to bully their masters in Rongfu.

Once a servant dares to commit a crime against the master, Jia Daixiu will report it to Jia Jing immediately if he gets the letter.

Such slaves are thrown out of the house immediately.

Of course, the master's punishment of the slave must be justified.

Otherwise, you will still be reprimanded and punished.

If the circumstances are bad, the family will be reeducated through labor and deprived of the family's benefits.

The family ugliness is not publicized.

Generally, it will not make trouble in the Yamen.

These are off-topic.

It is said that the imperial physician Xiao Wang entered the mansion and asked Shi Mei for a safe pulse.

In my heart, I feel that these rich people are really having fun, and their bodies are stronger than him, who is in his thirties, so why don't you ask for a safe pulse?

However, the Rong Mansion would give him 20 taels of top-notch red seals every time, which was more than his monthly salary.

He also endured it.

Afterwards, he realized that Mrs. Shi had been wrongly blamed.

But the third young mistress of Rongfu is happy.

This time, Imperial Physician Xiao Wang won two first-class red seals, and left happily.

Before he left the mansion, he flattered calmly: "Old ancestor, next time there is such a happy event, you should invite the boy."

The Rong Mansion and the Wang family have also been friends for several lifetimes.

Because of this, Imperial Physician Xiao Wang dared to talk to Shi Mei.

Shi Mei was naturally happy: "Okay, I will invite you in a few days."

There are so many young daughter-in-laws in Rongning and Ningfu, so there are many happy events.

Mrs. Zhang kept her face here, went to Biyun Temple to add sesame oil, and went to Tianqi Temple to donate rice and noodles, so that the monks could treat the beggars.

The busy chatter at home was over, and the day came for Concubine De to visit her relatives.

On this day, many people went to Concubine De's house to watch the ceremony.

Concubine De is more respectable than Yuan Chun. She leaves the palace immediately after lunch, and returns to her private residence to go to the theater and meet relatives.

Then, it was not until Haishi that Feng Huan got up and drove back to the palace.

There are three concubines who go home to visit relatives in August.

On the ninth day of September, there were three more concubines visiting relatives.

It is said that this is the time set by the emperor.

Years ago, all the concubines had finished visiting their relatives, and the rest were Emperor Chunzheng's concubines.

Emperor Chunzheng is very interesting, he really is a very colorful emperor.

Three of Emperor Chunzheng's six concubines visited relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and three others were on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The time to leave the palace is exactly at the hour of Xu.

Shi Mei was finally sure that this Emperor Chunzheng was the original emperor in the book.

After the date was approved, the families of the six concubines began to send invitations to the nobles and nobles in Kyoto.

In fact, it is selling seats.

However, the first six concubines visited relatives, which made many wealthy families in Kyoto regret it.

Because the promises made by the natal families of these concubines could not be fulfilled at all.

Many people who had promised to sponsor before backed out, and the follow-up money would not be released.

Therefore, the family members of these empresses and concubines went out again a few years ago to sell seats at a clearly marked price.

He even suggested that if you pay [-] silver, no matter what your background is, Xiaoxuan can send a daughter to the palace next year to be the maid of honor for the empress.

What is the essence of this selling point is self-evident.

5 taels of silver, to buy a chance for a daughter to climb onto the dragon bed.

As soon as this news came out, it once again aroused the interest of many people who wanted to fly to the branches.

It is said that the business is very prosperous.

Shi Mei only thought it was funny when she heard Mrs. Zhang report these interesting things to her.

These people are really poor and crazy.

He actually did such a thing, but he didn't know whether Emperor Chunzheng would admit it or not.
