Jia Yu has made a lot of money here, and he has been promoted and crowned, and it has been a mess for more than half a year. But when it was Jia Zheng's turn, it could be said that he had been unlucky in the past six months.

had a good New Year, and suddenly the outer study was occupied, and even the big and small wives were forced to move. Obviously, he is the owner of the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, but he looks like a lost dog, and as soon as people say that they want to expand the mansion, he has to give up his seat. Although the second master of Zheng endured the humiliation on the surface and moved the study generously, he was ...... He had already scolded Jia Yu thoroughly, and he almost broke his neck when he went out.

And that's not all, the Yangtze River flooded, the embankment was washed away, and the Ministry of Industry was unlucky.

In view of the fact that many of the dikes broke in the flood, the entire Ministry of Works was eaten and hung up from top to bottom, and Shangshu and Shilang even lost their heads. Fortunately, he is just an inconspicuous foreigner from the fifth grade, and he has no real power in his hands, so he is not implicated. But even so, he was punished and fined for three years.

was fined a lot of silver, and the second master didn't care too much, because the Rongguo Mansion had a big business, and his silver was indispensable. But it was explicitly declared, which made the second master dizzy, and his face was full of shame and shamelessness. He has always prided himself on being upright, but he was denounced as a fly camp dog, if it weren't for the purpose of leaving a useful body, he would have been eager to die on the Golden Palace to prove his name.

And on the contrary to his reprimand, it was Jia Yu who was praised by the saint for his meritorious contribution to cement and was added to the rank of official, which made the second master of Zheng feel at his own heart? ! For this matter, the second master did not go out for two or three months, and even the Qingke at home was not seen.

hated Jia Yu for being selfish, and while he didn't know how to bring his brother, he even hated the old man Jing in the house next door. Obviously, he is a serious official of the Ministry of Works, and the fake Taoist priest made something as good as cement, why didn't he hand it over to him to operate and make offerings, but handed it over to the famous bastard, he was really full.

But no matter how much he hated, he couldn't even touch Jia Jing's side. Even if he was made a first-class viscount, Lord Jing only stayed in the Ning Guo Mansion for two days when he received the holy decree, and still went back to Xuanzhen Temple to cultivate the Dao and refine the pill afterwards. So that he couldn't even find a chance to theorize, and the second master had to swallow it in his stomach, and he only hated the sky and had no eyes every day.

Jia Zheng was not happy, and Mrs. Wang was not very comfortable.

Originally, without Wang Xifeng, a substitute for the dead, the huge hole in Rongguofu could only be filled by her, and her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all painful. Have the heart to call Wang Xifeng back, send someone to Zhuangzi and be returned by the Xing family on several trips, it is easy to wait until their general's mansion is repaired and moved back, but this Feng girl is pregnant and can't work, who does this make her talk to? !

Also, the expanded General's Mansion, not to mention the small courtyard that occupies her daily life, is not much worse than the Rongxi Hall. In addition to the fact that the regulations have never been exceeded, Mrs. Wang feels that it is better than Rongxi Hall everywhere she looks. Every time she thinks of this, Mrs. Wang can only comfort herself, no matter how well the mansion is repaired, Rongxi Hall is the main hall that built Rongguo Mansion, and the one who lives in the main hall is the real master of Rongguo Mansion.

But thinking about it like this, it didn't make Mrs. Wang's mood much better, because she found that Xing seemed to have become generous.

Although the Xing family is a stepfamily, they have also been concubines for more than ten years, and she naturally knows what kind of virtue the other party is. But since the Xing family moved to live in the Zhuangzi for a period of time, he has been much more generous, and he has never heard of any such thing as deducting people, but has often received large and small rewards. This time, her eldest wife was praised by the people.

Listening to those words in Mrs. Wang's ears, although her face was still kind and kind, she secretly calculated it in her heart. Why did Xing's detain people, people are greedy for one thing, and more importantly, she doesn't have much private space in her hands. Now that she is generous, she must have silver in her hand, or a lot of silver. So, where did her money come from?

Mrs. Wang, who was suspicious, sent Zhou Rui's family to inquire, but before Zhou Rui's family went out, her good niece gave her the answer - the soap that opened all over Gyeonggi and was exported to Jiangnan was actually the industry in Xing's hands. This...... How can it be?

Mrs. Wang was shocked in her heart, thought about it for a while, and then changed her clothes and went to Jia's mother. I have to ask the old lady to ask about this. Now that the two houses are not separated, the industry should naturally belong to the public middle school, and everything can't be cheaper.

At this time, Master Pardon had already set off to the south, even Jia Lian was also taken by him, and his son had grown so big, it was time to go outside to see the suffering of the world. This time to drive to the disaster area, it is a good opportunity, if it weren't for Jia Xiaocong who was too young, the master even wanted to take him. Of course, Jia Xiaocong knew that his father didn't take his brother to play, so he made a fuss for a few days.

When Mrs. Xing heard that the old lady was invited, she was taking Yingchun to talk to a grandmother in the palace. This Mama Zhang was invited by Jia Yu to her daughter, and she was selected by the eldest master for her daughter. Mama Zhang was elected to the palace at the age of twelve, and stayed in the palace for more than 30 years.

"Mama just came today, and take a good rest, in the future, my girl will be handed over to Mama to mention, I'm afraid you have worked hard." After arranging Mama Zhang, Mrs. Xing took Yingchun to Rongqing Hall in a sedan chair, and whispered as she walked: "You say, what did the old lady call me for?" Guess if your second aunt is there? ”

Jia Yingchun looked brighter than before, but she still didn't speak, and when she heard her wife ask her, Fang said: "The old lady likes to be lively, I think I asked my wife to come over and talk to relieve her boredom." The second aunt is busy with housekeeping now, but she may not be there. ”

"Hmph, if you really think so in your heart, then I really taught you in vain." Mrs. Xing hated iron and steel, nodded at Yingchun's forehead, and said angrily: "The old lady doesn't think I'm annoying her, I'm Amitabha, and asked me to relieve my boredom, do you believe it yourself?" Ever called me from there, they all went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This time, I'm afraid of my small property. ”

"As for your second aunt, where there is excitement, where can she be missing. I'm afraid that our mother and daughter have been more generous in the past few days, attracting their eyes, and they want to try us. Besides, there is also Lian's daughter-in-law's unclear little traitor, maybe people are wondering how to confiscate my small property. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Xing said it bluntly, Jia Yingchun just smiled silently. The upbringing she received since she was a child made her unable to do such a straightforward act as her wife, but she agreed with her words very much. In the past few months, my wife has always told her about the situation in the house, which has made her understand a lot in her heart, and she no longer only stays on the surface when looking at people and things.

Not long after, the two came to Jia's mother's upper room, and Mrs. Xing smiled as soon as she entered the door: "It's really strange today, the old lady actually called me over to talk at this time, which really flattered me, and I was so happy that I didn't know how to do it." ”

Hearing this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were a little stunned, after all, it was not like Mrs. Xing would say this. If Wang Xifeng is concerned, the style of painting will be right.

"It's not that the princess of Beijing sent me some small things, and specially called you over to divide the points. Come over quickly, second girl, see if you have anything you like, while your sister and sister-in-law haven't come yet, you pick first. Jia Mu was just stunned, then put her surprise aside, smiled and beckoned Yingchun to her side.

There were two small boxes beside her, one containing some small jewelry, palace flowers, etc., and the other containing delicately packaged soap. Jia Yingchun stepped forward to take a look and understood that this soap was what she really wanted to show them.

Not only to welcome the spring, Jia's mother also wanted to greet Mrs. Xing: "The eldest lady also came to see if there is anything you like, these little things are used by young girls, not to mention, the soap in this box is exclusively for the palace, I heard that it is much better than the one bought outside, you come over to see what you like, take two pieces to make a rarity." ”

"Yo, doesn't the old lady know? On the day we returned, the soap we sent was the kind that was exclusively for the palace, and each master in the house gave a box. Our lord said that since it is home-made, of course we must use the best for ourselves. Especially the old lady here, even the first-class maid has two pieces. Mrs. Xing smiled and looked at the faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Your own business?" Jia Mu was nervous when she heard this, but she pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why, are these soaps actually from our house?" Why have you never heard anyone mention it? Don't fool me, old woman. ”

Mrs. Xing smiled and watched her performance, sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, it can't be said that this is the property of the house, it should be said that it is my dowry and private house." The recipe for this soap was found in the mezzanine of a box I was married to, and I had heard my mother mention it, but I was so confused that I forgot it for more than ten years. ”

Although her industry is getting bigger and bigger, in fact, every qiē only comes from those few prescriptions. The master had already explained to her, and said that the recipe was in her dowry, and it would be her private room in the future, and no one could occupy it.

"No, I was very idle in the Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year, so I simply made it according to the recipe. When I showed it to the master, I happened to see it when I was still the prince of Su, and I thought it was a good thing, so I took it back to the ladies and girls. The ladies all said yes, and I made up my mind to do this. Mrs. Xing stared at the ugly faces of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and smiled brighter and brighter.

The old lady's property has crossed the Ming Road, and it was brought by the recipe in the old lady's dowry, which is also known today. The old lady wants to see how you open your mouth with the old lady. I want to take advantage of my mother, hum!

Indeed, Mrs. Xing put the word dowry there, and even if Mother Jia was worried about the soap industry in her heart, she didn't know how to speak for a while. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, a woman's dowry was her private property, and no one could take it for any reason unless she was willing to do so. This made her open her mouth and let Xing's merge the soap industry into the public school.

However, seeing so much silver entering the big house, how could she be willing to give up!
