205 Hundred States
It is not only the Anjun Wangfu that has been affected by the pox turmoil.
In Jiang's room, Xiao Shi looked at Jiang Jun, who was a little anxious, and said carefully: "Master, is this really not going to happen?" ”
In the past few days, Jiang Jun has grown a circle of bubbles on his mouth, and he can't go down by drinking coptis water. Hearing Xiao Shi mention this annoying thing again, he couldn't help but say impatiently: "I won't know until Sister Tao goes to the northwest to see it." It's not going to work out, it's just that something went wrong in the middle. Don't listen to gossip from outside. ”
Xiao Shi snorted: "However, this is what my sister-in-law told me, saying that now it is spreading outside, and this kind of pox is simply faked in the northwest, and it is all because Dingbei Hou wants to make a name for Sister Tao, and he also wants to add merit to himself...... Otherwise, why don't you go outside after the pox is planted in the northwest......
This is also the biggest question point in Beijing today. Such a good thing, why only do it in the northwest, and not take the opportunity to promote it to expand the credit? It must be because there is a Dingbei Hou Mansion in the northwest that covers the sky with one hand, and you can say whatever you want, but if something happens outside, you can't hide it, isn't that the case now?
"Hugh wants to listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, what does she know." Jiang Jun is actually not very confident in his heart, he can sit still these days, and he still looks at Mrs. Jiang. Old lady Jiang has been sitting quietly in Baicaozhai until now, and she hasn't even been to the Anjun Palace, and she seems to be confident, so Jiang Jun comforted her a little.
However, Jiang Jun's trouble is not only in the pox itself, if it is just the suspension of pox, he will just wait, but he has something else in his hand......
"But, but—" Xiao Shi pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Sister-in-law said that someone has come to the house to ask for money......
Jiang Jun's face darkened: "Whose money did your brother take?" ”
Since the start of preparations for the pox vaccination, Jiang Jun has not had a few visitors here, and many people want to benefit from this event. Some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and some people want to make some political achievements, especially those local officials, if they can take the lead in promoting pox in their own jurisdiction, it is a great political achievement, and seeing that the three-year evaluation period is coming again, a good result, but it is very good for the future.
For the former, Jiang Jun almost declined, but slightly relaxed towards those who wanted to make credit. However, he does not accept money or heavy gifts, but the favors of the future. Therefore, even if anyone knows, they will not be able to hold his handle.
Xiao Shi shrank under her husband's forced gaze, and said with a flickering gaze: "Actually, there are not many ...... There is no income in the elder brother's family, and several children are going to marry relatives this year...... "The life of the side branch of the family has been a lot hard, although the younger family's family is quite passable, it is not a wealthy family, and now the dowry for the daughter has not been saved."
"Didn't take much?" Jiang Jun was angry, "If it passes through me, I will never ask for it, who else did your brother promise in private?" "If he can't go here, some people will go through Xiao's mother's house, Jiang Jun has not helped this uncle in the past, this time he will turn a blind eye and let him introduce some people to meet, and get some small money to subsidize it.
But these are just normal expenses, just like handing the door bag to the door of the high-ranking official and the eunuch's mansion, even if he can't get things done when he meets someone, he doesn't get the door bag back. The one who will come to the door to ask for money must be the brother of the Xiao clan who has indiscriminately agreed to something, and now he can't do it, so it will be like this.
Xiao Shi did not dare to speak. In fact, the person who came to beg for money didn't want to make a big deal out of it, the problem was that when the money was received, her sister-in-law immediately bought a dowry for her daughter, and now there is no money to pay back. This money is not much, but it is also a lot, a full two thousand taels. Not to mention that the Yu family can't take it out for a while, even if it is Xiaoxiao, there are no two thousand taels of silver in their hands now.
Jiang Jun walked around the room, only to feel a hot pain around his lips, and even his throat seemed to start hurting like a fire, knowing that this fire was surging up, he had to reluctantly suppress it, and said coldly: "How much silver did he take?" At this time, it was useless to ask anything, so I quickly gathered the money and returned it to others.
Xiao Shi asked in a low voice, "Sure enough, it doesn't work?" Her sister-in-law didn't want to pay back the money, she just wanted to ask her brother-in-law if this kind of pox was okay, if her brother-in-law said yes, she would ask her husband to give someone a word of permission when she went back, and told him to wait. Xiaoshi doesn't want to pay money, she is not very rich, and there are two sons and a daughter who are not married, so if she has money, she will naturally save it as a dowry, who wants to fill the hole for her sister-in-law.
Jiang Jun said coldly: "No matter whether this thing is successful or not, it is not up to my uncle to collect other people's money." He didn't dare to accept the money, but the eldest brother was really generous, "Put the money together, and from now on, tell him not to bring anyone else." "Since you are so capable of calling the shots, let's earn your own money, don't take advantage of his brother-in-law.
Seeing that her husband was angry, she didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded and agreed, and went back to the room to find money for her mother's family, and secretly swore in her heart that she would never pull her brother and sister-in-law like this again-it would only cause trouble for her, and she was really not angry at all.
Jiang Danhua was frowning with the account book in the room, and when he saw that the Xiao clan was looking for land to get the silver ticket, he couldn't help asking, and after hearing about the situation, he became irritable: "Mother is really!" Over the years, how many things have been filled into my uncle's house, and now it is even better, thousands of taels of silver are filled in, how can our family have so much silver? only cares about the scenery of his uncle's house, who knows his own suffering? ”
In this regard, it is indeed a bit of a loss for the lesser family. Fill things on weekdays, but if your husband and children are not picky, once they are picky, they are not. But being taught by her daughter like this, Xiao Shi was also displeased: "What did you fill in?" It's just some grain and rice, and your uncle hurts you in vain on weekdays! If these words are spread, you will see that people outside will say that you are rude! Seeing that the person who is going to be married, there is still no restraint on his lips! Mrs. Ou is the most disciplined, you give me more care, if there is a change in this family business, see what you do! ”
Jiang Danhua couldn't help but shut up when he thought of his relationship with the Ou family. In March, Xiao Xiaoshi took the opportunity to congratulate Ou Hangdao and walked around with the Ou family, and gradually penetrated the tone of marriage. Now the Ou family has also expressed their intentions, and the two sides have privately combined the eight characters, and they also say that it is a match made in heaven, so they are waiting to pick up an auspicious day and walk the six salutes.
At this critical time, there can be no more problems. European Airlines is this year's heirloom, although the family background is a little thinner, but it is also very popular, if it is not for the Ou family and the Jiang family to have a relationship, I am afraid that this family affair will not be Jiang Danhua's turn.
To be honest, Xiao Shi was quite worried that Mrs. Jiang didn't like Jiang Danhua and would interfere with this family affair, after all, Mrs. Ou seemed to have taken a fancy to Jiang Lianhua at that time. Who knew that Mrs. Jiang was unexpected, and after talking to Mrs. Ou, she only told her that she was good at detaining Jiang Danhua to learn the rules and learn the housekeeper, so as not to marry Mrs. Ou in the future, and she couldn't stand it, and then there was no more to say, and the family affairs went down step by step.
Although Jiang Danhua also wanted to marry into the Gaomen in his heart, the European Airlines Young Jinshi, who was no better than the ordinary second-rank Jinshi, was registered in front of the emperor, and his future was naturally worry-free. She is now sixteen years old, and if she is not sure of her marriage, she will be looked at sideways. People sometimes have to recognize the reality, and there is no marriage waiting for her in the Houmenbo Mansion, so the Ou family's family affairs are already excellent. At least, it's better than Mr. Chen Yan in the second room.
Thinking of Chen Yan, Jiang Danhua couldn't help but ask: "I heard that Liu Hanlin went home to serve the sick?" Now that she is talking about marriage, Xiaoshi often tells her about the outside world, so as not to blacken her eyes when she goes out to socialize by herself in the future. Now the pox turmoil is the biggest thing in the capital, and the mother and daughter talk about it the most, of course, it is related to this.
"Say it's typhoid fever." Xiao Shi couldn't help frowning when he said this, "It was when your father was so busy that he went home to serve the sick, saying that his mother was seriously ill and quit his errands." ”
Jiang Danhua muttered in a low voice: "Is it true or false, such a coincidence......" Something happened to the pox, and Mrs. Liu also had an accident.
Xiao Shi sighed: "Sister Tao went to see it in person before leaving Beijing, and said that it was indeed severe typhoid fever. Mrs. Liu was so sick that she was lying on the bed and humming, as if she couldn't take care of herself, in this case, could Jiang Jun still stop Liu Zhijing from quitting her errand? This is to prevent people from fulfilling their filial piety, and they will be scolded to death.
"That-" Jiang Danhua pulled the veil and finally asked, "Will the Ou family also ......" Even if Mrs. Liu's illness is true, Liu Zhijing must have a reason to avoid the problem, so her relationship with the Ou family has not yet crossed the clear road, if the Ou family fell in love with Jiang Jun's scenery at the beginning, then this is ......
"Your grandfather said no." Xiao Shi is actually a little worried, "The Ou family is a rule-oriented family, and they will not do this kind of thing to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." It's just that this person who talks about the rules, you have to be careful when you go in, and you must not violate your mother-in-law's wishes. At this time, she regretted raising her daughter a little bit, if she had been restrained since she was a child, she didn't have to worry about it now.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang was also talking to Jiang Songhua in Baicaozhai: "Why did you come back at this time?" Just like that, you can't hold your breath? ”
Jiang Songhua was a little embarrassed: "I want to come back to see if there is anything that can help the third sister, and I don't want the third sister to have left Beijing." ”
"Sister Tao is neat, so she naturally says she will leave." Old lady Jiang turned the page of the book in her hand, and the old god was there, "And she knows it in her heart, so you don't have to worry about it all day long." ”
"That, the fifth sister's family affair ......" Jiang Songhua actually came back for half of this matter, "Ou Jia......" He also knew Ou Hang in the academy, and he knew a little about the rules of the Ou family, Jiang Danhua's lazy and lazy appearance was absolutely not in line with Mrs. Ou's requirements.
Old lady Jiang still looked at the book in his hand: "The Ou family has strict rules, and Sister Dan is lacking people to teach - they are all spoiled by your mother." If I say that I have the ability and ideas, I won't tell her about this family business, but it is a nest, and when I get to my in-law's house, I will only be taken care of. The rules of the Ou family are strict, but they are not people who will care about their daughter-in-law, she can only satisfy her mother-in-law when she marries, and her life can go on. "Of course, before Mrs. Ou is satisfied, she has to suffer some hardships, which should have been eaten at her mother's house, but since her mother's family didn't give her food, she had to go to her mother-in-law's house to eat.
Jiang Songhua thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandfather is right. Sister Dan is young and confused, but she is not the kind of person who will be bad at calculating, she just hopes to be carefully taught by someone and know what is good or bad. "Jiang Danhua has done two bad things, one is to push down Taohua when she was a child and throw people stupid for a few years, and the other is to push Jiang Xinghua into the pool and almost drown, but these two things are not her intention to harm people, but I really don't know the severity. In the future, when she marries into her in-law's family, she can't be allowed to behave so presumptuously, even if she wants to do such a thing, she can't do it. There is a mother-in-law who is pressed and taught hard, and maybe he can change those bad problems.
Of course, at this time, Jiang Songhua didn't know what the results of Jiang Danhua's two things had led to, and even Mrs. Jiang didn't know, in fact, her granddaughter and niece had already changed their internal shackles.
Since the sisters are fine, Jiang Songhua hesitated for a moment, and still talked about Jiang Jun: "Father, I don't know if there is any impact?" ”
"It's good to sharpen his temperament." Old lady Jiang said lightly, "You did a good job last time, and after that, your father also knew to be more restrained, and now he has confiscated any heavy gifts, favors, there are people who are in the favors, and no one can say anything without evidence, but nothing will happen." ”
said and smiled: "It's your third uncle's adopted son-in-law, who is really a man who sees the wind and steers, and he is in a hurry to clear up the relationship at this time." That's good, after all, the girl's surname is Chen, and your third uncle is now away from home, so it's okay to take the opportunity to separate. ”
"100 people are different." Jiang Songhua now has a wide range of horizons outside, but he doesn't care much, "I don't know how Brother Bai arranged it now?" I vaguely heard that the third sister was going to plant pox for Bai Ge'er, did she plant it? ”
Old lady Jiang sneered: "I think Sister Tao did it on purpose." I didn't plant it, so I sent it to your second uncle's house to stay for a while. After all, the northwest side said that there was smallpox, and they didn't dare to take him over without pox. ”
"Want to get away with it?" Jiang Songhua couldn't help but laugh, "In this way, the third sister is really confident?" ”
"Sister Tao may not think so far, maybe it is the meaning of King Anjun." Old lady Jiang picked up the book in his hand again, "Sister Tao married him, and I am also relieved." You don't have to worry about them anymore, just read your books, and try your hand at the next autumn, if you can pass the exam, you should also discuss family affairs. ”
Speaking of his own family affairs, Jiang Songhua was a little shy: "Grandchildren are actually not in a hurry......
Old lady Jiang glanced at him from the page of the book, and smiled meaningfully: "It's not in a hurry, that girl is still young, even if you are only sixteen in the autumn, Bishanchang's family has never been accustomed to marrying their daughters early, and they will not let them go out until they are seventeen or eighteen years old." ”
Jiang Songhua's face suddenly turned red, and the old lady Jiang laughed and kicked her grandson out: "Hurry back to your academy, don't run away from home if you have nothing to do." With a grandfather watching at home, you can't mess up the overall situation! ”
Jiang Songhua went out with a red face, and when he came out of Baicaozhai, he saw a few people sitting under the wisteria trellis in the distance, and it was Yu Shi who was there with the maids, watching them turn over the flower thread. Jiang Songhua hurriedly went over to ask for peace, Yu Shi looked at him, asked a few words about the food and clothing in the academy in a slow voice, and said casually: "What do you say to your grandfather?" ”
If in the past, Jiang Songhua was really casual gossip about being a grandmother, but in the past few days outside, he also traveled with the mountain chief, but he opened his mind, and when he heard this, he knew that the Yu family wanted to see Mrs. Jiang, but he refused to go in, so he replied respectfully: "Grandfather asked his grandson about his study, and said that there was no obstacle at home, and let his grandson go back to the academy to study with peace of mind." ”
Hearing this, Yu Shi exhaled slightly, nodded and said, "Listen to your grandfather, don't be distracted by family affairs, go." ”
Jiang Songhua bowed down and agreed, and retired in a proper manner, and Yu Shi looked at the direction of Baicaozhai and became distracted. In the past few years, she often walks under this flower stand, because it is the closest to Baicaozhai, but she can't be seen without leaving the courtyard gate of Baicaozhai.
Since Mrs. Jiang told Jiang Songhua that as long as she reads, there will indeed be no major events at home. Yu sighed, obviously she had already got the answer and could go back to her yard, but she just didn't want to move. It's been a few years since Mrs. Jiang moved into Baicaozhai, and the husband and wife have been strangers for decades.
Could it really be that she did something wrong? Yu was in a trance. At the beginning, she naturally did that to rely on the Queen Mother, but now that the two granddaughters are in the palace, they are both immortal, Jiang Jun has to use it now, or rely on Jiang Taohua's medical skills, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. Although she is also surnamed Yu, but after careful calculation, in fact, she has not received much benefit from the Yu clan over the years, so why do you do that with a clear conscience? It's just that now, everything is irretrievable. It's like no matter how long she sits under this trellis, she won't see it in Baicaozhai.
"That's it......" Yu sighed slowly, "Let's go, go back and send a letter to the palace, it's not a big deal, let Sister Mei rest assured, just live as before." ”
The pox stalled, and the situation of the Jiang sisters in the palace also changed, and quite a few low-ranking concubines took advantage of their wishes, first saying something sour, and gradually bullying them in person.
Of course, the queen is happy to see it happen. At the beginning, she felt that she was quite protective of Jiang Meihua, but who knew that Jiang Meihua was pregnant in private, which seemed to her to be revenge! Although in the end, Jiang Meihua was aborted, but this feud was settled. Not to mention that a Jiang Taohua appeared later, which made the emperor feel uneasy. Although they are not sisters, they are all surnamed Jiang anyway, and they can't escape from the family.
Because of this, although the Jiang sisters are now not favored in the palace, in the end, Jiang Meihua did not have an inch of merit, but she was promoted to the end of the nine concubines with Jiang Taohua's credit, and she can be regarded as a high-ranking concubine, how can the queen be happy? Someone is willing to be her vanguard to suppress the Jiang sisters, she will naturally only support, Heng Zhi now even the Queen Mother doesn't say anything about taking care of the Jiang sisters, what else does she care?
Jiang Xinghua was originally encouraged by Jiang Meihua, and faintly had a hint of inviting pets, who knew that he first talked to Taohua and touched a soft nail, returned to the Qunxiang Palace, and was coldly indifferent by Wang Chongrong for a few days, and this thought was scared back again.
Although she was reborn in a lifetime, she has not changed much from her previous life, and she is still the cowardly and uninformed Jiang Xinghua. Although she finally entered the palace with the little thing she knew in her previous life, which can be regarded as changing her fate, she herself is a little inexplicable about how this thing was done.
But it's not really her fault. In her previous life, she was trapped in the back house of Liu's Mansion all her life, and she didn't know anything except doing needlework and housework. After being reborn, she didn't have time to learn anything, so she just wanted to get rid of Liu Zhijing. Therefore, she has never changed at all in her bones, except for "resolutely not marrying Liu Zhijing", she is still so passable.
In this case, when it became very difficult to invite pets, she retreated again. There was no one around to help her, and it was too difficult for her to think of it on her own. Hengzhu is now doing well in the Qunxiang Palace, and there is Wang Chongrong to protect her, so it is better to forget it for the time being.
Jiang Xinghua shrank her head and only made Jiang Meihua half angry. But now that she is colorless and unfavored, what else can she do? When I wanted to enlighten this sister again, Wang Chongrong stopped her in the head, intentionally or unintentionally. After all, Jiang Xinghua now lives in her palace, and she is under her control to say that she is serious, although Jiang Meihua is her own sister, she is in another palace, so it is not good to cross her to say anything to Jiang Xinghua.
I really couldn't sit still, Jiang Meihua slowly walked around with Lu Ying, and at the same time asked someone to send a letter outside the palace and ask what was going on at home. She is not well-informed in the harem, and listening to the sour words of those people seems to be Taohua going to be called to Dali Temple to play the board in a few days, although she knows that this is impossible, she also feels bottomless.
"Sister Mei is not easy to ......" Yu Shi seemed to say to himself, and he was a little gloomy. It's not easy, it was also Jiang Meihua's own choice of the road at the beginning, at that time, Mrs. Jiang strongly objected, but no one in the family listened to him, only felt that there was a bright road ahead, as if he could fly up to the top. What else can be said about the fact that it has turned out to be like this?
"The old lady doesn't have to worry too much, in the end, the eldest girl is now a full mother, as long as the third girl can pass this matter in front of her, there will still be a good time in the future." Yinliu saw that Yu was bored, and hurriedly took words to explain.
Who knew that it was okay if she didn't say it, but this time, Yu's chest was even tighter. When she did that, she ruined the second room's family, but in the end, her granddaughter's future was in the hands of the second room, isn't this retribution?
"Help me back." Yu Shi only felt that his chest was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't even bother to speak.
Yinliu hurriedly came to help people, but who knew that he was only halfway up, Yu Shi covered his chest with one hand, rolled his eyes, and fell crookedly......
