old lady in red

Jia Daixiang once again had the urge to vomit blood!

Is he that bad?

No matter what he said, he mentioned that Rong Mansion has been in charge of the family business for 30 years, and he also visited Jinling's Futai master and county magistrate following Jia Daishan.

The county magistrate goes to the countryside to inspect and meet the villagers, and he also has a seat.

How come these mothers and sons say they are rascals?

This is too embarrassing!

What kind of mother and son is this?

The young ones blatantly bully others, but the old ones don't care about injustice, they just know how to protect the calf!

However, Jia Daixiang was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he didn't dare to show his teeth a little.

Who let Jia She hold the handle on his eldest son!

At this moment, Jia Daixiang no longer has illusions about impressing his mother and son with family affection and passing the test by luck.

These three mothers and sons are all in the same group, and they are not good people at all!

However, he had to beg these people!

Jia Daixiang fell to his knees with a thud, and cried, "His aunt, it's not that brothers don't know how to flatter and don't know what to do, 80 taels, brothers really can't afford it..."

Shi Mei is busy yelling at Lai Da: "You are all dead people, I didn't see the fifth master fell, why don't you hurry up and help him up!"

Shi Mei was also very surprised. Why did Jia She have to kill 80 people?

Shi Mei took the time to glance at Jia She, and then raised her eyebrows to ask for clues.

Shi Mei confessed that he confiscated Wufang's 40 yuan of assets and left [-] yuan for Wufang as a settlement fee.

How did you kill 80 people?

Jia Amnesty is very smart, Shi Mei knew what his mother was thinking when he saw it, so he handed Shi Mei the account book brought by Jia Daixiang.

After Shi Mei took over, she immediately understood why Jia She got mad.

The house deeds and land deeds brought by Jia Daixiang are all the barren places in the eastern province.

There is nothing in the fertile land of Wu County and Mei County in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Eastern Province has only [-] mu of old forests and mountain depressions, plus a farm, a winery, and a breeding farm, which are worth less than [-] silver.

Wu County and Mei County have [-] mu of high-quality fertile land and ten luxury houses.

Is this treating people as fools, or dismissing beggars?

Since this person is fat and shameless, Shi Mei doesn't need to care about affection.

"Ask the fifth master, our father-in-law entrusted me on his deathbed, saying that he once asked the fifth master to spend half of the land every year, buy more good land every year, and set up farms. I don't know how the fifth brother is doing? Why have I never seen him in these years?" What about the title deed?"

Shi Mei still left the last fig leaf for Jia Daixiang by saying so.

Otherwise, she could just use the post to ask the elders of the Dong clan to open the ancestral hall, settle accounts with Wu Fang in front of the clan uncles, and ask Wu Fang: Where did the hundreds of thousands of family wealth come from?

Hearing what Shi Mei said, Jia Daixiang opened his mouth in horror. When did Jia Daishan say that he would buy a farm and buy good land?

He wants to reprimand, this is taking advantage of the fire!

But he couldn't utter a complete sentence except "Oh, oh, that, that...".

After all, the land deeds of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and the deeds of more than a dozen luxurious houses are lying on the wall of his home.

Some of these fertile farmland and luxury houses were embezzled from the Rong Mansion, but half of them were hard-earned money earned by his own hard work.

These living bandits want to catch them all in one go!

Why?

Shi Mei threw the account book brought by Jia Daixiang into Jia Daixiang's arms: "Since Uncle Wu came to ask for advice, I will offer two solutions.

The first article, Jia Li does not get rid of his clan.However, Jia Lian's misbehavior, the fish and meat are next to each other, the impact is extremely bad, and the lack of severe punishment is not enough to anger the people.

Not punishing severely is not enough to enforce the family rules.

Therefore, Jia Lian may not be expelled from the family, but he must accept the punishment of the family rules, and he will be punished in public for forty years to show his vigilance.

It was the son's fault that he did not teach his father, and Jia Yan harmed one party, which damaged Jia's reputation and reduced his prestige to dust.As a father, Fifth Brother has an unshirkable responsibility.

Therefore, you Wufang will leave the Jinling Jia family from now on, and go to the Eastern Province to be the originator of the mountain.

If Brother Wu accepts it, I will make the decision. These things will be the foundation for Wufang to survive and grow in the future.

From now on, the Jia family in Eastern Province, the Jia family in Jinling, and the two prefectures of Kyoto will still be relatives.

Everyone is in the same spirit, watching and caring for each other.

If Uncle Wu is not satisfied with this, I still have a second way.

First of all, according to the family law of the ancestors, the black sheep Ma Jia was expelled from the family.

Then, hand him over to the government, and let the government deal with it according to the law.

Don't talk about the past, just talk about the current rape of women from good families, what should be the crime?

Furthermore, your Five Households have lost all their credibility, and Wuyan will no longer be in charge of the ancestral property for the Rong Mansion.Wufang immediately handed over the general affairs seal of my Rongfu.

I don't care about the things in the hands of the old man for the time being. Since the first year of Jiahe, I have been in charge of Zhongfu, and we will sort out the accounts for the next 20 years, shall we? "

Jia Daixiang suddenly felt struck by lightning, staring at Shi Mei as if seeing a ghost.

Without him, the things in the Eastern Province are the things he embezzled in Jia Yuan's hands.

The fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River was obtained by accumulating money in the 25 years after Jia Daishan accepted the general affairs.

Jia Daixiang didn't expect Shi Mei to see through the wealth he was hiding.

Jia Daixiang trembled so badly that he aged more than ten years in an instant.

Jia Daixiang's wife suddenly burst into tears: "Is there such a bully? We have worked hard for decades, and once..."

Shi Mei interrupted her softly: "Is one hundred thousand belongings too small? Jinling's ancestral home has twelve houses. Search each household to see which house has hundreds of thousands of belongings?"

At this time, Jia Tan was frightened and went crazy, hugging his father's legs and bumping wildly: "Dad, dad, help me, I don't want to go to jail, those dogs will definitely kill me and put me in jail, I don't want to I'm still young, I'm in prison, I'm the eldest son, I want to inherit the family business, and I want to honor you two elders..."

Jia Daixiang, who was never willing to touch Jia Lian's finger, kicked his son: "It's a prodigal thing that drags down your parents and brothers, and you still have the face to cry?"

Jia Daixiang finally understood what Jia Dailu said, the Jia clan is afraid that there will be no peace from now on!

Shi Mei's meaning is very clear, Jia Daixiang handed over the things stolen from the Rongfu, and the Rongfu kept a thread of love, and did not expel the family.After that, Jia Daixiang asked for his order, and his family moved to the eastern province to settle down.

At the same time, he obtained the land deed and house deed of the Eastern Province as the foundation, and has since become Jia's branch in the Eastern Province.

If they disagree, Wufang's family will be ruined immediately, and his face will be ruined!

Jia Daixiang finally gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Wufang is willing to branch and relocate, and establish another ancestral hall!"

Shi Mei nodded: "Since Fifth Uncle has repeatedly asked for branching, although we can't bear it, we have no choice but to agree. Boss, you go and tell your Eighth Uncle yourself to prepare the relevant procedures. Before the yamen is sealed, prepare a note !"

Jia Daixiang dared not speak out: Rongfu is so desperate to expel them!

How much do you hate Wufang?

If he has no credit for these years, there must be hard work, right?

The white-eyed wolf in Rongfu is so heartless!

Naturally, Shi Mei didn't know about Jia Daixiang's slander, otherwise she would laugh out loud.

Embezzling the owner's family's money, using the owner's reputation to earn money, but letting the owner's family take the blame, what kind of credit and hard work is this?

Knowing that he was going to be punished, Jia Tan was so frightened that he fell to the ground and howled: Dad, the forty board will kill people!

The ground of Rongxi Hall was wet a lot in an instant.

Shi Mei was extremely disgusted in her heart, and ordered: "Lai Da, Jin Da, you take people to drive, take the fifth master and fifth wife home, and then move our things back."

Jia Daixiang rolled his eyelids after taking a look at Shi Mei: He thought to himself that this woman is a traitor, she is afraid that he will go home and transfer the family wealth!

Jia Daixiang already understood at this moment that Rong's parents and children can't afford to mess with them!

He cupped his hands and said goodbye: "Thank you Mrs. Rong for your forgiveness, we are leaving!"

Shi Mei knew that he had resentment in his heart, but she was not afraid or regretful, and ordered: "Da Lai, please continue to order, only accept the things from the fifth master's study and warehouse, and the female relatives in the inner house are not allowed to disturb, and the female relatives' belongings are not allowed to touch your hands. Family law doesn't allow it!"

Jia Daixiang paused, knowing the meaning of these words, this is the respect Jia Mu gave to the five-bedroom female family members.

It is also a warning to the slaves, Wufang is also the master if he made a mistake, and he must not be humiliated!

Jia Daixiang had mixed feelings in his heart. Over the years, he hadn't understood this woman.

But he bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Mrs. Guogong, for your success!"

Nanny Lai knew the potential of a woman, but she hesitated to speak several times.

Shi Mei didn't want to go into details.

She wants to punish Wufang and establish her prestige, but she won't leave an impression of being mean and unkind to the clansmen.

One hero and three gangs!

Sometimes, blood relatives are the most reliable!

After all, everyone has common ancestors and common interests.

The water is so clear that there are no fish, and the people are so observant that there are no disciples!

Shimei's goal is to become the leader of the Jia family, lead the Jia family to prosper, and become a respected, loved, happy old lady.

Instead of being a loner who makes people fear and keep a respectful distance!

Returning home this time, I was only planning to cultivate my son and win people's hearts, so it was a surprise to get rid of the fifth house.

Too much is too late, there is no need to drive the dog into a poor alley!

In the future, Shi Mei will formulate a management system that combines management and supervision. It is advisable to set up a small imperial court in the mansion to collectivize and institutionalize the management of Rongfu assets.

It is impossible for the Wang family to steal and sell their ancestral property any more.

Lai Da accompanied Jia Daixiang home to collect the seal of the house deed.

Shi Mei asked Jia She to meet with the acting patriarch Jia Dailu to intercede for Wufang.

As for Wufang's relocation to Eastern Province, Wufang said it himself.

Anyway, Shimei made a promise first, and Wufang didn't fulfill his promise, and the Rongfu immediately sent Jia Li to the yamen.

It is not a matter of the top [-] boards to seize the market.

Jia Dailu promised to open the ancestral hall the next day to punish Jia Tan.But he was guessing in his heart, how much money Wufang spent to buy Rongfu.

Wufang has a lot of assets.

On the fifth watch, Lai Da finally completed the settlement with Wufang.

Lai Da brought back twelve deeds for the Huazhai, 28 acres of fertile land, and [-] taels of cash.

Including the assets of the Eastern Province, Wufang's assets are as high as 50 taels.

Shi Mei sighed, it's so strange that people say that the magistrate has been cleared for three years, and one hundred thousand snowflakes.

A small side branch, but relying on the power of the direct branch, can amass so much money!

With only 20 mu of fertile land, it is impossible for Wufang to accumulate such a huge amount of money in [-] years.

Wufang must have crooked money!

"Is there any evidence of the smuggling of salt tea that I brought to your attention?"

Lai Dao: "The maidservant searched carefully, not only was it not recorded in the books, but also the maidservant in the secret room and dark room searched carefully, but did not find it."

Shi Mei said: "Have you ever asked the fifth master?"

"The servant asked the fifth master, but the fifth master denied it, saying that he did not dare to break the law!"

However, Shi Mei knew that the information provided by Jia Mei was absolutely reliable, Wufang must have participated in the sale of private salt and private tea, but he didn't know how they operated, and they were able to hide it.

Shi Mei summoned Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers and told them: "Although you don't have to take care of the general affairs yourself in the future, you must understand the hurdles, which will be of great benefit to you entering the officialdom in the future. Otherwise, you will be an official in the future. The deaf and the blind can be fooled by others.

You brothers will follow Lai Da tomorrow to count the shops and check the accounts. You must find out who is running these shops for a living these years. "

Shi Mei guessed right, Jia Daixiang really used the shop in Rongfu to smuggle salt tea.

Shops in Rongfu buy and sell salted tea, and Jia Daishan buys a decent official Yanyinchayin every year.

However, Jia Daixiang shipped ten times as much as a salt.

This is taking Rongfu's future in exchange for his own money!

Shi Mei was furious now: "We are too kind to Wufang."

Jia Amnesty was furious, and immediately went to clean up the fifth room: "These hateful things should have discounted the legs of that dog, Jia Li. I'm going to send that old boy Jia Daixiang to the authorities for investigation."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "Smuggling salt and tea is a serious crime. Once the news gets out, our Rongfu will be criticized. Your future success will also be affected."

Jia Shechen gritted his teeth with hatred: "Just let them go like this? I said, mother, you are too kind. They are worthy of giving away such a large amount of furniture?"

Shi Mei sighed: "This fifth house is indeed a curse, and it will drag us down sooner or later. But, it's best not to move now. Then, you go and arrange it yourself, and use the holiday as an excuse to close all our twelve shops in Jinling tomorrow." .Then it spread rumors that the store has suffered a lot of losses in recent years and cannot continue to operate.”

Jia Amnesty was heartbroken: "I know that the salt and tea shop receives thousands of silver every year, which is almost [-]% of the income of the mansion. It's just closed like this. What a pity? Where did the father of this salt and tea shop live with His Majesty?" Minglu’s business is currently closed, and it will be difficult to open it again in the future.”

Shi Mei said: "Salt, tea and iron are the most important taxes of the imperial court, and they have always been under the control of the imperial court. Only a very small number of royal relatives and relatives can be contaminated. You also said that this is your father's face, and now your father is gone. , people leave the tea cold, just take it when you see it.

We reflect on ourselves, even if this matter breaks out in the future, His Majesty may look at your father for mercy.

If we are greedy, sooner or later we will be liquidated by His Majesty!

Furthermore, how much of your father's profit from running this salt tea shop has been brought into the public house? "

Jia Zheng was confused by these words, but Jia Amnesty heard them clearly.

The prince needs money to attract talents and buy people's hearts.

As the prince's master, his father pays tribute to the prince every year, even at the expense of borrowing money.

As far as Jia She knew, his father once helped the prince to raise a debt of 40 taels. It is not known how the money was disposed of in the household department.

Jia She nodded: "Mother is at ease, the son knows what to do."

Jia Amnesty was nimble.

From the next day, the shops began to be closed with great fanfare, and within a day, word spread on the streets of Jinling that the shops in Rongfu suffered serious losses and were about to close down.

As for why they lost money, most of the slaves in the Rong Mansion were hesitant to say: "Master, don't talk nonsense, we can't tell!"

The more hidden it is like this, the more it will be interpreted in many versions.

In the end, it turned out that the Jia clan bullied the orphans and widows.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, these opinions came to an abrupt end.

But on this day, Jia Daixiang, the fifth housewife of the Jia family, suddenly led his family and left their ancestral home in the wind and snow.

Although the timing of Wufang's departure was wrong, however, Wufang's bastards were full of momentum.

The whole family, old and young, all wore mink fur cloaks, and there were four carriages with canopies, and a dozen or so masters of the fifth house were sitting there.

There are also twelve hanging mules and carriages for pulling things.

Shi Mei originally negotiated with the clan to let Wufang start spring and then go to the Eastern Province to settle down when the weather is warmer.

Unexpectedly, Jia Daixiang chose to move in the twelfth lunar month in order to give the Rongfu mother and son a harsh reputation.

Now, everyone didn't know how to talk: who bullied whom?

Shi Mei played with the medicine key deed from Wufang, and sneered in her heart: If you want to slander Rongfu, you should dress in shabby clothes, that's the appearance of being bullied.

Nowadays, such a luxurious and precious car is more honorable than returning home in rich clothes, so what is it?

Besides, who wouldn't know how to hire sailors to spread rumors?

Shi Mei called Lai Da Jinda and gave him detailed instructions.

The two took the lead.

Jia Daixiang moved ahead of time and did not know the family members.

Jia Dailu's face turned green when he heard this.

Wufang is showing the world the evil of Rongfu mother and child!

How do you know that Rongfu mother and son are easy to provoke?

If this torment continues, Wufang might really be exiled to Mobei for the rest of his life, never to return

Before Jia Dailu came up with a rescue measure, another version began to circulate on the street.

It was Lai Da, the chief housekeeper of the Rong Mansion, who was rushing back and forth between the major dental shops in the cold winter and snowing against the wind and snow.

But he always frowns and sighs.

The boss of the dental shop became curious, so it doesn't have to be the case if he can't find a suitable shopkeeper, right?

After questioning, I found out that all the shopkeepers of Rongfu's twelve shops in Jinling resigned, and after the Rongfu shop suffered a loss, all the shopkeepers were poached away.

The mothers and sons of the Rong Mansion were orphans and widowed, ignorant of common affairs, and unfamiliar with the place of life in Jinling, seeing that the shop was about to close forever.

Lai Da also said with a sad face: "Our father-in-law has passed away, and the title has not yet been obtained. The whole family is relying on the shop to make a fortune. Tell me, it is already the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and you will close the shop in four days. Where do you tell me to find a suitable candidate? Isn't this going to force our whole family to beg for food?"

Everyone couldn't help but wonder: "Wufang moved, could it be that these people can't move too, they are in Jinling, they always have to eat?"

Lai Da shook his head: "I don't know, some say they have a new employer, some say they want to return to their hometown for the elderly, but they won't do it anyway."

Everyone in Yaxing laughed: "It's not like we haven't seen the shopkeepers in your shop before. Most of them are under fifty. Why do they support them?"

Lai Da nodded and echoed, "That's what I said too, but even if he wants to resign from his job, we can't force him!"

After finishing speaking, Lai Da rushed to the next house.

The topic he left behind did not end there.

The crowd who knock their teeth is not lacking in imagination:

Wufang was in charge of the shop for Rongfu, and took advantage of his position to steal all the money, and then poached the shopkeeper who was familiar with the business, leaving only an empty shell for the orphans and widows of Rongfu.

It's no wonder Wufang moved. There are those precious carriages and cages. I'm afraid they have hidden a lot of gold and silver.

At this thought, the people watching the theater suddenly realized: it turned out that Wufang took advantage of the death of Rongfu's father-in-law to bully the orphans and widows!

The discussion in Jinling Mansion was instantly one-sided, and they all scolded Wufang for losing his conscience.

Without Jia Daishan, the Jia family in Jinling can achieve today?

Before Jia Dailu could figure out how to appease Rongfu, his son told him the latest rumors on the street: "Father, hurry up and think about it, our family has become a joke after dinner."

Jia Dailu was attacked by both sides of Wufang Rongfu, and he was devastated and had no choice.

He knew the whereabouts of Wufang, and he didn't even open the door when he went to Jia Daixiang.

Jia Dailu had no choice but to come to Rongfu to intercede for Wufang: "Everyone is connected by blood, and the same spirit is connected, Wufang shouldn't guard and steal from himself, it is indeed wrong.

Of course, they have already been punished and expelled, so why do you want to kill them all, sister-in-law?

Wufang is already stink in the clan, everyone knows how forgiving his sister-in-law is, and Wufang is ugly, so why should everyone know about Wufang's ugliness?

This made Wufang lose face, and now, wouldn't Wufang's heirs be able to return to the ancestral hall forever? "

Shi Mei asked Jia Dailu back: "Uncle Ba, does this mean that our mother and son are unfeeling? May I ask Uncle Ba, Wu Fang used the shop under my family's name to sell private salt for profit. Once the government finds out and investigates it, what will happen to the lives of my Rong family?"

Does Eighth Uncle think that the lives of a hundred people in my Rong Mansion are less important than Fifth Household's face?

Wufang accused us of being mean and ungrateful, but have you ever thought about how we can gain a foothold in front of the world?

Shall we lose face? "

Jia Dailu was hit by Shi Mei's sharp point, and his neck was suddenly strangled, his mouth opened and closed but he was speechless.

This day is the twelfth lunar month.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Mei came to greet Shi Mei, but in fact Shi Mei made an appointment with him to discuss taking over the general affairs of Rongfu.

This time, Shi Mei is not going to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

First of all, during the remaining two years of filial piety in Jinling, Shi Mei planned to let Jia pardon the three siblings, Jia Zheng and Jia Min, to take care of the general affairs of the Rong Mansion while studying and practicing martial arts and embroidery.

In case a big man's family is raised so that his ten fingers do not touch the spring water, he doesn't distinguish the five grains, and he can't understand the general affairs, he will be deceived by Lai Da's servants in the future.

Just like Xuan Tong, he was very happy to buy an egg for ten taels of silver.

Shimei had drawn up a management plan early in the morning for twelve shophouses under the name of Jia's mansion, another [-] mu of ancestral property, and [-] mu of new fertile land.

The fertile land under the name of Rongfu is not a whole piece of land, there are 24 farms in total.

In the past, these farm owners were all confidantes placed by Wufang. Wufang has been eating and drinking all these years, but I haven't seen them say a word, so it can be seen that they are all gangsters and gangsters.

All these people can no longer be used.

Shi Mei is not going to act like this anymore, Jia Mei is just going to hire a chief in charge of general affairs, who is the liaison and supervisor between the owner and the farm owners below.

Shi Mei decides to send her trusted son-in-law to act as the head and shopkeeper of the Rong Mansion.

Having children at home is easy to manage, and if something goes wrong, you can go to the end.For old relatives like Wu Jinzhong and Jia Daixiang, when something happened, they were a little bit wary.

Jia Mei took a look at the rules and regulations formulated by Shi Mei, and immediately understood that Shi Mei had banned the previous family-style management, and instead treated herself as a staff member of Rongfu.

The twelfth house can't be expected to be like the five house, one family dominates and monopolizes all the riches and vacancies of Rongfu's assets.

Jia Mei felt a little lost.

He thought that by taking the canopy train from Rongfu this time, his plan to pull out the twelve rooms would be ruined.

Shi Mei is well aware of this, she wants to employ people, and she can't make people go hungry to do errands.

That iron-blooded emperor in Yongzheng wanted to employ people, and he also had to distribute money for maintenance, not to mention that she was an ordinary woman!

Shi Mei said: "My nephew is not an outsider, so I will keep my ugly words in my head, my job is not easy.

Our Rong Mansion is said to have a title, and the salary and money can't support people at all.In fact, the daily life of the Rong Mansion depends on the harvest of the land.

People eat for food.

Nongsang affairs should not be sloppy, like Wufang's previous soft pillow style is not advisable.

As the agent of Rongfu, nephew, you have to inspect farming and mulberry in spring, prevent floods in summer, prevent snow disasters in winter, and inspect the preparations for spring farming in various places. You have to know everything about it.

Throughout the year, you must return to Beijing once a season to report on the situation of the farm.In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, you must make detailed reports on the farms under your jurisdiction. Drought, flood and snow disasters must have specific dates, the size of the disaster, remedial measures, and relief situations.

You can't just talk in plain language: if you suffer a disaster, you can't harvest it, and it's over.

Can my nephew bear this hardship? "

Jia Mei naturally agreed: "My nephew used to run errands in the tooth shop, all year round, in the wind and rain, I am afraid that there is no business to do, so I will not be afraid of hardship or tiredness."

Shi Mei nodded: "That's good. Calculated in this way, even though Rong Mansion's property is in Jinling Mansion, just inspecting [-] acres of land is enough for you to be busy. You may not be able to stay home for half a year.

You can't feel at ease if you're restless at home.

I've thought about this for you too.

I took a look a while ago and found that your family's mansion has not been repaired for decades, and there are more than a dozen brothers, it is too cramped to be crowded in one yard.

It just so happens that Wufang moved out, and the mansion they vacated will belong to you.

There are five courtyards at the front and back of the five-room house, which is equivalent to a big house with five entrances, which is enough for you to support your parents and accommodate your three sons and one daughter.

Jia Mei never thought of such a good thing, she hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Shi Mei waved her hand: "Sit down and talk.

In addition, I hired you to manage the property for me in Rongfu. You are like my son, and your monthly bill is the same as that of your two brothers, ten taels of silver per month.

Clothes and clothing are prepared in the four seasons. In summer and March, there is a monthly summer subsidy of five taels, and in winter and March there is a monthly subsidy of firewood and carbon.

In addition, the monthly cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is [-] taels, which is the same as their brothers.

When you go out, you spend five taels of silver more than their brothers in travel expenses every month.At the end of the year, if the weather is favorable and the harvest is bumper, you will have an extra big red envelope. "

While talking, Shi Mei handed Jia Mei a form: "This is your responsibilities and remuneration I have proposed. Take a look, if you are not satisfied, please bring it up to me, and I will increase it as appropriate."

Jia Mei packed up the form tightly, but her fingers were trembling. The monthly fee of [-] taels of silver in January and [-] taels of silver for paper and pen were enough for his parents, wife and children to eat and drink, and there was still a balance.

The travel expenses of five taels of silver are enough for him to spend for a year and still be rich.

Jia Mei got up and tidied her clothes, then bowed and said in a trembling voice: "My aunt has arranged for my nephew so well and thoughtfully, my nephew jumped from the chaff into the honeypot all at once, if he is not satisfied, he is not a person.

My nephew's greatest wish is to let his parents live a prosperous and happy life, and my aunt helped my nephew realize his wish.The nephew has no other skills but a conscience, and the nephew will never disappoint his aunt's love in this life.Otherwise, the nephew would not be considered a person! "

Shi Mei laughed and said: "Well said, there are capable people everywhere in this world, but conscientious people are very rare.

So, we're done.

Oh, one more thing, last time your wife didn't want your eldest son to come to the mansion to study with her, you can ask, if she is willing, let her often bring the children to the mansion, let the children Familiar with each other, if there is a destiny, the child is also willing, so let's go to Beijing with him in the future. "

Hearing this, Jia Mei was so moved that she almost knelt down.

If the eldest son really went to Beijing, he would not have to worry about his future in this life.

In the worst case, he will be able to take over his errands in the future and live a lifetime of food and clothing.

Jia Mei came home with two carriages, and everyone in the twelfth room couldn't help being surprised.

It was Shi Mei who ordered Lai Da to help the twelve rooms move.

Although Twelfth House is poorer, Jia Daiyu is still reluctant to move and abandon the old house.

Of his twelve sons, nine are married and established, and the remaining three are unmarried. Jiulang Juro is a twin, 14 years old, and he just found a shop as an apprentice last year, so he can eat by himself.

There is only one old son, nicknamed Tianci, who eats and eats by his side. His wife accidentally became pregnant when he was 40 years old. He is one year younger than the eldest grandson and is only seven years old this year.

Jia Mei got a wife and had to move. The brothers who got married had already set up their own kitchens, so naturally they couldn't follow.

The most difficult thing is the three youngest sons who are not married.

It's no problem for the elder son to take care of him, but is he willing to take care of the younger brother?

Eldest son Ken, do the other sons have any objections?

In the past, I didn't think about it, and everyone didn't care about it.

Now that the big family has benefited, they are all brothers, and they can take care of the three younger ones, so why can't they take care of the older ones?

Who wasn't born by a mother?

Jia Daiyu has no skills, but he still has a face!

I also don't want to cause trouble for my eldest son.

Jia Daiyu could only grit his teeth and said, "You are going to help Dizhi with an errand, so naturally you have to live in the house of the master. What are we going to do with it? You are filial, just give me some more pension money from now on."

How can Jia Mei agree here? His parents live in a broken house and tell him to live in a good house to enjoy, and he still hasn't been punctured in the back?

He guessed his father's concerns in his heart, so as the eldest son, he called twelve brothers to discuss.

As a result, his twelve brothers really wanted to be honored.

The brothers have been blessed with the surname Jia, and they have read a few books regardless of whether they are good or bad.

Twelve rooms have the simple duty of family inheritance.

However, they also want to learn from Wufang, and they will be so hot that they will ascend to heaven.They all want Jia Mei to arrange fat jobs for them.For example, the owner of the farm, the shopkeeper and the accountant, they are all competent.

Jia Mei understood Shi Mei's thoughts a long time ago, and said: "Our auntie is much smarter than my father-in-law and uncle, or she was scared by Wufang, and now she has made it clear that she will abandon Wufang. .

If you want to be in charge of the accountant, you can do it, but you have to pass the recruitment assessment of Rongfu. To be the shopkeeper, you have to be able to do business and make money for the owner. Are you successful?

To be a farmer, you need to know how to farm and mulberry farming, do you know it? "

His brothers, except for the third and fourth in Liuli Street, one who sells and sells books for others, one who helps people with goods in the wharf warehouse, and the eighth who sets up a stall at the wharf to write letters for him, and also sells calligraphy and paintings by himself, the rest are There is no fixed job, with one mouth and one hand to help out.

Jia Mei knew that according to Shi Mei's requirement, good character and experience, his brothers' character was right.

However, experience is not enough.My brother is probably barely able to be an accountant, but he is really inexperienced as a shopkeeper.

Rongfu needs a shopkeeper who can make money by opening.

Everyone was disappointed: "Are we hopeless?"

Jia Mei said: "Yes. If you become apprentices, I can talk to you. The future will depend on your own abilities.

And the eighth, my aunt said that the family not only wants to open a boys' school, but also a girls' school.

Women's school is no better than men's school. You can hire outside men to teach. In addition to hiring talented female masters outside, you can also hire men from the clan to serve as teachers.

Old Ba, you can write well, and your poems are not bad, it should be enough to teach the sisters to read and write.

Spring Rong Mansion will be open to recruit teachers, you can go to sign up.The five brothers in the tenth room also have to apply for the exam, and the number of recruits has not yet been determined. My aunt said that it depends on how many sisters enter the school. "

Jia Mei's other brothers are eager to try.

Jia Mei poured cold water: "Why don't you learn how to sell characters like Lao Ba, and go to carry goods and run errands to do coolies?

Isn't it because you can't write chicken feet with one hand, you ghosts draw peach charms, ask yourself can you teach your sisters and nieces?

You are qualified to apply for the exam, but how many children of the Jia clan, can you figure out whether you can rank up?

In the past, you blamed your parents for having no money as apprentices, but now I have a way to make your apprentices unhappy? "

His fifth younger brother, Jia Xiao, was not happy: "We are all brothers, you can be a big boss, but we can only be little guys? Why?"

Jia Mei said with a smile: "I know how to buy and sell land, and what kind of crops are suitable for farming in various fields, do you know?

Most importantly, Wufang was unlucky and let me catch up.

This is the same as Liu Bang, a gangster who became the emperor, does not mean that all gangsters can be emperors. "

Seeing that Jia Daiyu had almost finished speaking, he scolded: "They are all stupid!

In the past, there was no way to curry favor with others and want to learn art, but now you have a way to pick and choose. Do you have a father who is an official or a father who is a butcher?How little is your brother pulling you?

He only has this ability, and he has done his best, so forget it if you don't go, get out of here! "

The twelve-room house was in disrepair for a long time, and there were many sons, and the wife who married later built all thatched houses, and the meeting hall was just a thatched shed.

Maybe Jia Mei didn't want to hide the fact that she didn't hide from the wind when she spoke.

Lai Da learned from Shi Mei when he turned around.

Shi Mei said: "Jia Mei's attitude is very good. I hope that he will never forget his original intention. This is everyone's blessing." He also told Jia She: "When recruiting small accountants and female masters in the next year, think more about my brothers."

Jia Amnesty was a little disgusted: "The only brother in my family is Jia Dun who is a scholar, so he must not be very good at poetry and poetry."

Shi Mei said: "Girls in the family will marry in the future and will be the head of the house. I teach them to study for reason and to broaden their horizons. In the future, they will be a clear-sighted mother, a director of the family, a husband and a child. Does it matter if you understand poetry or not?"

Jia Amnesty blushed.

Shi Mei's eyes were full of ridicule, she just missed spitting on his face.

Being a husband and wife is not just as simple as adding fragrance to the red sleeves!

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Jia Amnesty handed over a letter with a shy face, but it was a letter written by Zhang Tete to her mother-in-law Shi Mei.

It turned out that Zhang's in-laws wrote a letter to Zhang, and Zhang learned that her mother-in-law had been taking care of her natal family, and she couldn't be more grateful.

Then, Zhang reciprocated, knowing that Shi Mei wanted Jia Zheng to take the imperial examination, and also knew that Shi Mei had been looking for Shan Ziye to no avail.

Mrs. Zhang said that he had recommended to her father to ask her father to point out articles for her younger uncle Jia Zheng, and asked Jia Zheng to write an article every month and send it from the post station to the accompanying capital. His father would review it and send it back.Until Jiamu found a famous teacher.

After reading the letter, Shi Mei raised her forehead and sighed: "I really can't see Mount Tai. Isn't your father-in-law a ready-made famous Confucian? What are you looking for?"

Jia She said: "It's just that the company is thousands of miles away, and it will take half a month for an article to go together. After all, there is no direct way to listen to it with your own ears."

Shi Mei said: "What's so difficult about this, after your father Xiaoxiang in March next year, your brothers will go out for a study tour and inspect the farms in the Eastern Province by the way."

Jia She said: "Speaking of Eastern Province, my son remembered something. Wufang didn't leave the capital, but lived in Liujiazhuang on the outskirts of Beijing. Also, my son received news that Wufang used our channel to give Dear brother, send a letter,

The son bought off the postman, peeked at the letter,
