The little girl looked at the carriage outside, and knew that it was the prefect of Suzhou outside, although he didn't know what the prefect's idea was, but he thought that the prefect was asking for them, and there should be no bad idea, so he replied: "The eldest girl of our family came back with my uncle and young master." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When the prefect of Suzhou heard this, he sat in the carriage and stroked his sparse beard and groaned.

The Lin family's little servant closed the door, and the carriage of the Suzhou prefect also turned a corner and went back along the way it came.

Daiyu didn't know that the Suzhou prefect had inquired about her, she watched the girls clean up the small yard, and asked the boy's name was Brother Tong'er, Lin Li, and told the girls not to be slow down, and to serve with heart.

Everything was settled, Daiyu came to the main house, and the old housekeeper sent Wang Shun to send the account books of the shop and the sacrificial field Zhuangzi in the past two years, as well as the expenditure records of the house.

Lin Daiyu read the account book for more than half a day, fortunately she had memories of her past life, and she was a little exposed to Wang Xifeng's dealings, and she could still understand it. Lunch was placed in the main room of the inner courtyard, Daiyu hurriedly ate a few bites, and then went on to read the accounts for the afternoon.

Jia Zheng went to see the Suzhou Academy, and sure enough, there were only two or three old Confucians who couldn't speak clearly, and there were only about a dozen Mengtongs.

Many parts of the academy were covered with new mud, and Jia Zheng gently picked out a large piece of dry mud with his fingers, which were stuffed with clumps of reeds and hay.

Jia Zheng sneered in his heart, and saw several superintendents pushing two people who looked like teachers to come in, and one of the superintendents said:

"I am wronged that you two are here to fill up the façade of our academy, and when the adults sent by the emperor have seen it, where did you come from and where do you go back."

The two gentlemen were still fighting indignantly, and one of the school supervisors had already seen Jia Zheng, who was dressed like a rich businessman, and hurriedly came over to drive people away: "What are you doing?" How did you get here? This is the academy, and no idle people are allowed to come in! ”

Jia Zheng didn't reveal his identity either, and was pushed out of the academy with Jia Baoyu, and the academy closed the door with a bang.

Jia Zheng looked at the door of the academy in silence for a long time, and walked along the courtyard wall of the academy to the back, only to see the restaurants, restaurants, and silk shops open next to the courtyard wall of the academy, surrounding the already small academy lively, and some simply used the academy house.

While Jia Zheng was walking slowly along this street, some people were complaining that the imperial court had sent officials to take charge of the academy, and the superintendent of the academy had taken back the house rented to them, and they couldn't find a cheap place to use it as a storehouse for a while.

The errand of the academy was sent by the emperor, and the queen designated Jia Zheng to run the errand, but the root cause was in her own family.

His niece Lin Daiyu donated the inheritance left by Lin Ruhai, and his eldest sister reported the matter to the queen.

Therefore, although this matter seems to be specially rewarded by the emperor to Jia Zheng for merit, if it is not handled well, it is likely to lose the emperor's face and hurt Jia Yuanchun's status in the palace. Jia Zheng can't help but raise his spirit to deal with it carefully.

He was originally an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he was also responsible for the construction of the palace, and after learning about the situation of Suzhou Academy, Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu to think while walking back.

The place where the academy is located is very narrow and downtown, which is not conducive to reading and learning at all; The house was in a tattered state, and there were traces of simple repairs such as reeds and hay pasted with new mud.

The two old Confucian students are too old to even do enlightenment, so they should be invited home to retire......

In this way, the college should be relocated, completely rebuilt, and recruited truly talented teachers.

Jia Zheng walked forward while thinking, and his steps were fast.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly followed with two small servants, and the coachman who was driving the carriage also hurriedly chased after him.

At this time, the prefect of Suzhou was sitting in the carriage, returning with a large string of people, and happened to pass by Jia Zheng and others.

The prefect of Suzhou, who was empty again, thought that Jia Zheng was likely to go to Suzhou Academy to check on the spot, and hurriedly took people to the academy again.

When the sun was dark, there was a commotion in the outer courtyard, and Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu came back.

Jia Zheng returned to the Lin family and went directly into the pen washing room, and he didn't care about the exquisite gilding post sent by the Suzhou prefect on the desk, and made a large account of his thoughts about the academy.

Daiyu put down the ledger and had a general idea of the income of the sacrificial field.

In addition to sacrificing fields, Lin Ruhai also left two silk shops in Suzhou, which were used to provide the living needs of his stepson's family and the monthly money of the servants in the house, and the annual surplus was handed over to the old housekeeper.

On this day, the old housekeeper handed over to Daiyu, in addition to these account books, which were silver tickets of three thousand taels of silver.

Daiyu handed the silver ticket to Zijuan and put it away. The old housekeeper was old and lacked energy, and he also proposed to Daiyu to hand over all the things in his hands, live quietly in the small courtyard allocated to him for the elderly, and recommended Wang Shun, the son of Mama Wang, to Daiyu as a housekeeper.

Daiyu thought about Wang Shun's behavior in the past two days, and knew that the old housekeeper should have cultivated him for some time, so she nodded in agreement.

Today's Lin family is neither a rich and noble family, nor does it have too many people, as long as there is a housekeeper who is general and has good character.

Jia Zheng was busy planning the rebuilding of the academy in Xibizhai. To give the emperor a break, he had to come up with a workable charter first, so he was so busy that he didn't even have the time to take a sip of water.

Although Baoyu went out for a walk during the day, it was following Jia Zheng, and he didn't dare to go west when Jia Zheng went east, and he was very bored.

At this time, Jia Zheng couldn't take care of him, so he asked Qiu Wen to help him fetch water, wash his face and change his coat, and went straight to the inner courtyard.

Daiyu put down the account book, and just as Zijuan was rubbing her shoulders with Zijuan, Baoyu came over in a hurry, asked Daiyu how much she had eaten during the day, what she had done, and talked about the scenery in the Suzhou market.

Daiyu sat quietly for a day, listening to what Baoyu said so lively, her heart was also a little moved, she thought about it for a while, and said to Zijuan: "Let's also go out for a walk and look at the street market outside, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

When Baoyu heard this, she was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "What's not to do?" I watched a lot of young ladies with girls come out to buy things this day. My sister's golden and jade-like character, although she is more noble than them, doesn't have to confine herself at home all day. ”

Zijuan thought for a while and replied: "My family is in the capital, and I often see young girls on the street shopping and playing. Although the old lady always detained the girls in the house and forbade them to go out, I knew that Miss Xue often walked outside. Even if I took a leave of absence to go back to see my family, I often went to the fat powder shop on the street, but the things sold there were not as good as our homemade. ”

Daiyu listened to what the two of them said, and also let go of her worries and doubts, and said with a smile: "Then let's go out for a walk today, Zijuan will change my clothes for me, and then call Qingwen and Qiuwen as well." ”

As he spoke, he called the little girl again: "Go and tell Wang Shunwang's housekeeper that I want to go for a walk on the street, and by the way, go to see the shop, and ask him to bring a few people and prepare two cars." ”
