When Xue Baochai was there, Daguanyuan also had 800 taels of silver every year to replant flowers and trees and repair houses, but Mrs. Wang had no money, and he would not come up with so much silver, on the contrary, he asked Li Kun and Tanchun to pay 800 taels of silver every year.

In Li Kun's opinion, this is simply impossible, but this matter was ordered by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun couldn't hide at all, so he could only hide himself behind Tanchun.

Tanchun also knew that this matter was very difficult. But he knew that he had to do it. That day, he waited in the east room on Mrs. Wang's side for a whole day, and Mrs. Wang didn't see him, and as a result, after two days, everyone knew that this reform was Tanchun's idea, and some people even swore that the matter of monthly money was also Tanchun's idea.

In the past few days, Tanchun obviously felt that Shi Xiangyun looked at him wrongly, but fortunately, the two waiters and Cuimo beside him were sympathetic to him and often solved problems for him. It's just that in such an environment, they just want to speak, and they can only avoid people secretly in the middle of the night, especially the matter of monthly money, and they can't export it.

As the girl who explores spring, Shishu and Cuimo are different from Shi Xiangyun's Cui Wei. Because Tanchun is not like Shi Xiangyun who has Jia's mother as the backing, the two of them are much more cautious in their words and deeds. Now, when the girls in Jia Baoyu's house mention the monthly money, they all secretly say behind Jia Baoyu's back that they can't let the girls below find out, let alone them?

On this day, after taking two little girls with lanterns to follow Tanchun for an inspection, he specially told those little girls to pay attention to the candles. And he extinguished all the lamps and candles in all places, leaving only one or two lanterns in the most important places, and then he returned.

This is a must-do every day now. And this kind of thing. At most, Li Kun is just doing something. Li Kun has always been like this, in Li Kun's heart, his son is the first, the silver is the second, and the reputation is the third. Li Kun is very positive about getting a good reputation without spending money, but when he needs to pay for something, Li Kun will slip away faster than anyone else. The ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb is also first-class.

But when Xue Baochai was there, Xue Baochai would always sit in a small sedan chair with a string of mothers-in-law. If you patrol everywhere, remind people everywhere to be careful about the door and pay attention to the candles.

Therefore, when the master and servant returned to Qiushuangzhai, Tanchun also freshened up. The little girls all went down. Cui Mo couldn't help but say: "When Miss Bao was there, there was a large group of people, if there was anything, Miss Bao only needed to sit in the sedan chair and give orders, and some people rushed to help." It's just that our girls actually do these jobs that the daughters-in-law used to do. ”

When the waiter heard this, he hurriedly pulled Cui Mo.

Tanchun sat stunned for a while. Cai said: "How is this the same? At that time, our whole family was raised by Sister Bao. Sister Bao wants to make her life better. He spent his own money, who can say about him? ”

Cui Mo said: "Girl! Your words are too exalted to him. I don't know whose money the treasure girl spent? Who doesn't know that Miss Bao got tens of millions of taels of silver from the second girl's hand. If the matter was done by the second girl, I am afraid that there is more than such a grand view garden, and there is also a big Zhuangzi, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. The old lady doesn't have to worry about the silver, and the girl doesn't have to be wronged. ”

Cuimo is the big girl next to Tanchun, and his monthly money turned out to be a hanging money. Now that four-fifths of it has been cut off, how can he not be nervous? He wasn't one of those in Jia Baoyu's house. Jia Baoyu is favored, and the girls in the house are also rising with the tide, and any big girl has a private room of four or five hundred taels of silver. And he Cuimo, the time to follow the spring is not short, but if you talk about private rooms or something, thank God for having half of the girls in Jia Baoyu's house.

As the girl of Tanchun, even Tanchun has to try her best to slap Mrs. Wang, let alone the two of the servant Cuimo? Even if they grew up together, but in front of Mrs. Wang's girls, it has always been the sisters Jin Chu'er and Yu Chu'er who are sitting, and they are standing with Shucuimo. In this regard, they are not even as decent as the two Ying'er Wenxing beside Xue Baochai.

Shishu and Cui Mo didn't dare to be angry with Mrs. Wang, but it didn't prevent them from seeing Xue Baochai's various unpleasant eyes.

The two servants also knew that when their own girl faced that Bao girl, she might not have no grievances in her heart, but she didn't dare to express it because Xue Baochai was Mrs. Wang's niece and daughter. Now, seeing that Mrs. Wang is also disgusted with Xue Baochai, why can't the two of them take the opportunity to say a few words?

The waiter also said: "Girl, in the past two years, when Miss Bao was mentioned in the garden, everyone said that our monthly money was given by Miss Bao, so when something happened, everyone spoke to Miss Bao. As for the second girl's batch of silver, who has said it in the past two years? No one mentioned it at all! If the reason is concerned, isn't it because Miss Bao is now in charge? Back then, Miss Bao was in charge of the preparation of this garden, and the stone was not money, so it was not wrong for the second girl to give Miss Bao directly. The hateful thing is Miss Bao, who was obviously worth tens of millions of taels of silver, but he sold it at a discount, not to mention, he actually wrote twelve taels of silver and one stone on the account book. He still has a face! The maid once secretly calculated that in addition to the stones we had called for by our own family, Miss Bao had privately obtained at least four or five million taels of silver. The maid also heard that there are many things in this grand view garden, what vase ornaments, what antique toys, are shoddy, with fakes to get by, Bao girl's spending in this garden, with a million taels of silver to the sky. It's also a shame that he has the face to say that their family supports us, and he can't tell who is raising whom! Perhaps, people are waiting for the opportunity to roll up the four or three million silver and leave. ”

When Tanchun heard this, he immediately raised his head.

Isn't these words in his heart? Tanchun thought more than once, if it wasn't for Mrs. Wang going too far, if it wasn't for the two families being too stiff, would the second sister just give them the silver to the second room? But Tanchun himself knows that this is just if.

Tanchun said: "What's the use of talking about this now? It is only right to do the things arranged by the wife seriously. ”

knew that the things that Mrs. Wang explained were not easy to do, but Tanchun didn't dare not do it. Even he had to do it beautifully, and he had to satisfy Madame Wang. Tanchun knew that Madame Wang would only be kind to those who were useful to him. Once he has no use value, Mrs. Wang may sell him casually, or marry him to someone who can afford a large dowry.

Not to mention, Tanchun is now living in the garden, if the garden is closed, he will definitely go to Mrs. Wang's garden to beg for a living. In that case, his quality of life will certainly not be much better. Although, the situation of Tanchun is not very good now. It's not that there is no room to turn around, and if you go to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, you will only be pinched to death by Mrs. Wang. Even for the sake of his current life, Tanchun can't be unreasonable.

Tanchun is not Li Kun. And the amulet of Jalan.

"Prepare the pen and ink. I'm going to write a letter to my second sister. Something. It would be more appropriate to consult the second sister. This kind of thing is used to the second sister and the young girl, but Sister Yun and I have only heard of it. Now that my wife has explained the following, it's just a matter of doing well, and if I don't do well, I'm afraid of ......"

I'm afraid there will be no future.

If Tanchun didn't have an exit, the hearts of Shishu and Cuimo were bright.

Cui Mo said: "On that day, when Miss Bao was there, there were also a few people. They all know how to get these things. It's a pity that they were all sent out by their wives. ”

The waiter said: "It's so far. What's the use of saying that? Could it be that let's use the girl to use the treasure girl? It's better to ask the second girl. ”

Tanchun listened, let out a long sigh, and finally didn't say anything.

A few days later, Jia Mu sent someone to send two baskets of crabs here. Jia's mother felt sorry for her youngest son, knowing that Jia Zheng didn't have much family business, or that Jia Zheng had already spent almost all the money he got from the family, so she immediately drew 6,000 taels of silver from this year's summer rent, and specially asked the mandarin duck to send it to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

At the same time, Jia's mother also asked someone to bring Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Li Kun's mother and daughter to the next Yuan Festival. Jia Baoyu didn't say it, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun both got the clothes and jewelry sent by Jia's mother. Although the jewelry is an old object many years ago, and it is not a fashionable style, it is already an unexpected joy for Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun today.

The person who came not only brought Jia's mother's gift, but also brought the latest news from Jia Yu's side. After caring about the position of the head of the Ministry of War for several years, Jia Lian was promoted. The current Jia Lian is the governor of Tongzhou. At the same time, the Emperor Taishang also promised the girl of his maternal uncle's family, that is, Shang Qingyi's sister-in-law, to Jia Lian.

As the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Jia Lian's grade is finally the same as Jia Zheng's, and they are all positive five grades. What's more, Jia Zheng's Ministry of Labor, Wailang, is a fictitious position, but Tongzhou Zhizhou is the leader of Tongzhou. Tongzhou is also a transportation hub for entering Beijing, whether it is goods from the north and south, or personnel, they must stay here and go in and out of Beijing after investigation.

It can be said that this is a rare shortage of fat in the Gyeonggi area.

As for Shang Qingyi's sister-in-law, this girl did get engaged before, but who would have thought that the young master who really married the merchant girl died in the family infighting a few years ago, and the person who is now studying in the academy is the young master's fellow sister disguised. The family even planned to wait for the merchant girl's sedan chair to arrive, and let the merchant girl marry their concubine. It was because she didn't want to see the merchant girl being calculated, that the girl nested in the academy and didn't come back.

No one cares what the final outcome of that family will be. Anyway, Shang Qingyi fished out the girl and found a place to settle down. As for the merchant's relationship with the family, she naturally had to give up. When Emperor Taishang heard about this, he happened to get the news that the emperor had promoted Jia Lian, and heard from the people on the side that Jia Yu had been busy for so many years, and he didn't marry his son a daughter-in-law, so he pointed out the merchant girl to Jia Lian.

Although it is said that both the unmarried couple are not young, they can't be satisfied with this family business, so they proudly show off with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

It is said that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was so angry that she didn't even bother to look at the gifts sent by Jia Yu, and directly asked people to send them everywhere. Not only Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Li Kun's mother and son, but even Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. The men's are books, pen and ink studies, and the women's are jewelry and clothing. With the sisters and brothers of Jia Huan in Tanchun, Jia Jiu also specially carried a few silver tickets.

As for Tanchun's request for advice, Jia Jiu sent a small bookcase. Inside the bookcase, there are all manuscripts. Every common flower and tree medicinal material, from the appearance to the picking season, and even to the method of concocting, Jia Jiu has given a detailed explanation. I was even afraid that Tanchun wouldn't be able to understand it, and the manuscript was accompanied by lifelike pictures.

Looking at the gifts he received, Tanchun felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Only the second sister can understand me. In the past, I was jealous that the second sister only cared about praising Sister Bao, but now that I think about it, if the second sister praises me and takes care of me in front of people, I am afraid that I will not have such a peaceful birthday. ”

At that time, his mother-in-law would never tolerate herself riding on the head of his mother's family. Tanchun is well aware of this.

The waiter hurriedly found a needle and thread, sewed a purse, wrapped the silver ticket in oiled paper, and then sewed it into the mezzanine of a belly pocket, and asked Tanchun to put it on, and then said: "Girl, with this, the girl will have the confidence to encounter things in the future." ”

Tanchun nodded and said, "It's not easy for the second sister, it's hard for him to remember me." ”

Cui Mo was very strange and said, "Why did the girl say that? ”

Tanchun said: "Now, the storm in the middle of the court is surging, and it is not the idea between the emperor and the current long live. The second brother Lian was promoted by Banzai, but the second sister-in-law of Lian, who was about to enter the door, was from the emperor's side, and it was still a marriage given by the emperor. If there is anything in the future, won't it ......"

The waiter said: "What did I want to say as a girl, but it turned out to be this." If you want me to say, the girl doesn't have to worry. The ability of the second girl, how many people in the world can underestimate it? ”

Tanchun listened, and could only nod.

It was Aunt Zhao's side that she was shocked when she saw the silver ticket Jia Jiu gave to her son. Although Aunt Zhao is vulgar, she is not a real fool, otherwise, he would not have been chosen by Jia's mother to become Jia Zheng's concubine, let alone raise a son, a daughter and two children peacefully.

Aunt Zhao is a successful one. He also found an inconspicuous fabric and sewed the silver ticket on Jia Huan's belly pocket, so that Jia Huan could carry it with him. The other clothes, jewelry, gold, silver, and other things were also hidden separately, so that he forcibly pacified himself and prepared for Mrs. Wang's seizure.

Aunt Zhao has served Jia Zheng for so many years with Mrs. Wang's disgust, and she is naturally familiar with Mrs. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Aunt Zhao knew that Mrs. Wang knew that she had obtained this property, and she would definitely try her best to take it away from her, and Jia Zheng, even if Mrs. Wang did not take care of it, she would not help herself.

Therefore, how much property you can keep in the end depends on your own ability.

Aunt Zhao knows this very well. (To be continued......)
