In the evening, Jia Jiu settled down and had time to care about the Lin family sisters and brothers in Xiangxue Villa, but when he heard the news that the Lin family brothers and sisters had been settled at the door, he stopped the girl who was going to report, and told him to come back after noon the next day.

The things in Jia's mother's courtyard have never been secret, as long as you are willing to inquire, you can naturally inquire clearly. But there are not one or two people who are curious about Jia Jiu's attitude, at least Xue Baochai is suspicious. It's just that he didn't dare to ask Jia Jiu openly, but he encouraged Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun to come over.

Shi Xiangyun's heart for Jia Baoyu is indeed true. So he especially couldn't get used to Jia Jiu's attitude towards Mrs. Wang, but at that time, Jia's mother acquiesced to Jia Jiu's words and deeds, and Shi Xiangyun had to pretend that he didn't know.

That doesn't mean he's going to give up.

When Jia Jiu returned to his room, he saw Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun sitting in his room, the tea had been changed I don't know how many times, Shi Xiangyun's face was still full of anger, and Tanchun lowered his head, and his mind was difficult to distinguish.

As soon as Jia Jiu entered the room, Shi Xiangyun stood up and said, "Second sister has such a big shelf!" ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "I think Sister Yun actually wants to say, where did I get such a big temper, I didn't give face to the eldest sister in the palace, and attacked the second aunt in public." Isn't it? ”

Shi Xiangyun snorted: "Second sister knows and says!" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Yun, if you were replaced, in front of your biological father and the aunt of the Outer Eighth Road who is not from the same sect, which one would you choose?" ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned. Needless to say? Father, of course! Even if you don't have your parents in your swaddling clothes, you don't know what it's like to have a father and be protected by your father. But as a qualified daughter. Of course, he knows what filial piety is.

"Father, of course." Shi Xiangyun paused and said, "Second sister." I know that your father and the second master have already separated. However, the eldest sister in the palace is the imperial concubine, and if he knows about it, you will also be in big trouble. ”

Jia Jiu said: "My sister's kindness, I understand it." It's just that it's about what the world thinks of my father, and it's also about my brother's future, so. Among outsiders, I chose to keep my family and my family's reputation. Besides, something like today. Even if it is put in front of the emperor, I am justified. Sister Lin has just arrived at home, and no one has sat down yet, even if she counts other people's family business, she is not allowed to keep filial piety for her father. If such a thing is preached. The outside will accuse the second aunt of the perpetrator as soon as possible. Those palace concubines will also attack the eldest sister with this matter, saying that the eldest sister has poor morality and is not worthy of becoming a princess. If one or two say so, it's fine, but if everyone in the palace says so, what should the big sister do? The eldest sister has worked hard for so long, even if the family can't share his worries, he can't be held back. ”

The abilities of those aunts around him, Jia Jiu knows very well. He also knew, soon. This news and these words will reach Jia Yuanchun's ears. And in the way he Jia Jiu hoped. He gave Mrs. Wang no face in public, and Jia Yuanchun might be grateful to himself.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Jia Jiu and then at Tanchun, and his heart was confused for a while.

He hesitated for a while, and then said, "But second sister, you don't need to be ...... like that to the second wife."

Jia Jiu smiled: "Is that rude, so fierce?" ”

Shi Xiangyun nodded.

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "It is because I am familiar with the second aunt's temperament that I chose such a method." The second aunt has always been a bold and reckless person, and she can't even tell what can be done and what can't be done. Otherwise, he would not have committed a taboo at the beginning, and he would not have carried the black pot for those minions and was grounded in the Buddhist hall. I thought that over the years, the second aunt had already reflected in the Buddhist hall, but these days, I only saw him blinded by the word silver, jumping up and down to ask the old lady for silver, asking the Xue family for silver, asking our family for silver, and even Sister Lin came to the door on the first day today, and he opened his mouth, and it was the family business of the Lin family. How can he calm down and listen to me? If you don't let him quiet down, I'm afraid that he will make more and bigger mistakes in the future, and it will also affect the big sister in the palace. The old lady also knew this, so she acquiesced to my harsh words to the second aunt. It's all for the big sisters in the palace. ”

Shi Xiangyun lowered his head, not knowing how to speak.

When he came, he only thought that Mrs. Wang had been swept away, and Jia Baoyu's face was not good-looking, but he didn't think of a deeper layer.

It's just that Jia Jiu is too good at speaking a few words, so he can't open his mouth.

Moreover, what Jia Jiu said is also very reasonable.

Shi Xiangyun didn't apologize, he said: "But second sister, can't you be accommodating about this provincial villa?" ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "This is a big deal, and it involves a large amount of money, where can we girls interfere?" Now that my father has opened his mouth, there is no room for this matter to turn around. ”

Shi Xiangyun wanted to say more, but saw Tanchun shaking his head slightly at him, and he didn't feel a little strange.

"Third sister, the eldest sister is your own sister, why don't you pay attention to his business, but shake your head?"

Tanchun didn't expect Shi Xiangyun to break it directly, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Sister Yun, 300,000 taels is already a lot." "Even if Mrs. Wang is Tanchun's mother-in-law, and Jia Yuanchun is also the imperial concubine, she still doesn't dare to offend Jia Jiu. As for 300,000 taels, what can be done, Tanchun himself doesn't know.

He was a lady of the boudoir, and he had never been out of the second door at all, nor had he personally come into contact with the merchant merchants, let alone the transactions such as the sale of fields and houses. How did he know the true value of three hundred thousand taels of silver?

Shi Xiangyun also didn't know the actual value of money. In fact, Shi Xiangyun, who has lived in Jia's house for many years, is very dissatisfied with the idea of silver money that the Shi family gives him every month, especially since last year, the two marquis of the Shi family have been released, and after Jia's mother left Shi Xiangyun by his side, he followed the girls of the Jia family to receive the monthly money, two taels of silver a month plus two taels of silver powder money, which is an example of Tanchun. Nearly twice as many as he had before. But these four taels of silver can't be seen at all compared to Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, who are already registered show girls.

According to the rules of the Jia family, the girls who can participate in the draft will go with the young grandmothers. A month is ten taels of silver per month plus ten taels of silver for fat powder. can be like Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, who have already passed a general election, and are the girls of the registered show girl, they can no longer be regarded as the girls of their Jia family, they can only be said to be half a royal person, even if they do not enter the palace, there is no clear purpose, even if they have to participate in a general election three years later. That's also a nobleman. The Jia family is just raising them for the royal family. Therefore, the share of these three people should be mentioned upwards and be on a par with the wives. Only one level lower than the old lady.

That is to say, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing are three, and now they receive sixteen taels of silver every month, not to mention, there are also sixteen taels of fat powder money. It is eight times that of Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun!

Shi Xiangyun only saw his four taels of silver per month. saw Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, and the three of them were thirty-two taels of silver every month. But they did not know what four taels of silver could do, nor did they know what thirty-two taels of silver could do. Even Cui Wei beside him knew that even if he received thirty-two taels of silver for a month, Jia Jiu would have to save more than nine thousand months, nearly seven hundred and eighty years.

But Shi Xiangyun also saw that whether it was Jia Jiu or Jia Qian and Jia Qing, they had an example. According to the rules of Ning Guofu, only young masters and young grandmothers who have become families will have an example. is like Jia Baoyu, the top of Jia's mother's heart, because he has not yet started a family. So every year during the Chinese New Year, he can only get some deer, rabbits and other living creatures.

But Jia Yu's side is different.

Shi Xiangyun had people secretly inquire that as early as five or six years ago, after Jia Jiu began to send wine outside, this Rongguo Marquis Mansion would make a lot of wine grape juice (actually failed wine) every year. Because the wine of the Marquis of Rongguo does not have the astringency of Western wine, it is very popular in Kyoshi. Nowadays, as long as there are conditions, almost every wife, wife and grandmother will use a glass of wine before going to bed to nourish their faces, and those grape juices with unique flavors have become a handkerchief for the girls in the boudoir or a drink to treat themselves.

Because of this entry, Jia Yu has to give the following three girls a lot of money every year.

Shi Xiangyun didn't know what the exact number was, but the girls in Jia's mother's house were so excited, Shi Xiangyun thought in his heart, this number was at least thousands of taels.

In addition, the three of them have been canonized by the imperial court, and having a knighthood means that there is a phoenix crown, a court dress, a big dress, and kowtowing to the palace, and the court also gives the money, including silver, rice, fat powder silver and Huangzhuang, among them, Jia Jiu is still double, in addition to the share of the junjun, there is also the emperor's special reward for the emperor.

Shi Xiangyun is not ignorant of the Jia family. He knew that whether it was Jia Jiu, Jia Qian or Jia Qing, any one of the three of them, a year's income was enough to marry Tanchun once. And the sum of the annual income of the three of them is enough for the Shi family to marry a concubine.

This is not counting the examples given to Jia Jiu by the Daomen, nor the things that the Confucian Sect and the Yan family gave to Jia Qing. The value of those things is simply incalculable.

In Shi Xiangyun's opinion, even Jia Jiu's three girls are so rich, and Jia Yu only took out 300,000 yuan in the end, which still counts the Lin family's share. It's too much to be so stingy.

Shi Xiangyun is here today to settle accounts with Jia Jiu, and then come to rob the rich and help the poor.

Because Mrs. Wang couldn't come up with the money to repair any provincial villas.

Thinking of Jia Baoyu, then thinking of Mrs. Wang, who was struggling with money, and thinking of Xue Baochai, who was at a loss, the courage in Shi Xiangyun's heart came spontaneously.

He raised his head, glanced at Tanchun, and said, "Third sister, don't think I don't know. You've been saving up for so long, and you've only been spending a dozen dollars, and in the end, Baoyu just brought you something? The small basket made of willow branches, the incense box dug by the roots of real bamboo, and the wind stove with clay stacks, these are just a few things......"

Jia Jiu couldn't help but say, "Which shop is out of it?" Could it be a treasure handed down from the founding of the country? Just a little thing costs a dozen dollars? ”

Jia Jiu said this, but it was not without purpose. Take the girls of the Jia family as an example, the monthly example of the first-class girls is one or two silver, according to the official price, that is, the consistent money; The second-class girl is half of the first-class girl, that is, five hundred dollars, also known as a hanging money; The third-class girl is half of the second-class girl, that is, two hundred and fifty dollars. It is also called a string of money; There is also a rough little girl below, and it is only a hundred and ten copper plates a month.

As a Tanchun, he is also a month, even if he is in Jia's mother's yard. It's also indispensable to dot up and down. For example, occasionally give money to the mother-in-law who guards the door, or to the little girl who helps him with his errands. Tanchun is not Jia Jiu, as a maidservant daughter, he doesn't know if he has this opportunity to go to the family tree in this life, if he wants to call those girls, this expense is naturally indispensable.

For such a spring visit, if you want to save more than ten dollars. It's not an easy task.

Jia Jiu sighed and said, "I understand, Baoyu is bullying the third sister again." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister." That's not right for you, how did Baoyu bully the third sister? He also brought a basket of willow branches for his third sister、......"

Jia Jiu said: "As an elder brother, isn't it common to go out to play and bring some gadgets to my sister at home?" My brother goes to the yamen every day. Remember to get me some ink ingots, new books, and study utensils. These are all etiquette, and I haven't seen my brother go out to play with the monthly money I saved! ”

Shi Xiangyun immediately put down his face and said, "How can Baoyu compare with Second Brother Lian." The second brother Lian is an adult, and he has a ...... on his body."

Jia Jiu said: "Will the old lady be bad to Baoyu?" He is a young master, and he has ten taels of money a month, which will not be less. At the beginning, the family invited him to invite a husband alone, and specially gave him eight taels of silver per month for dim sum, this silver. He's been leading it. In other words, Baoyu has been kept in the old lady's house. Food and clothing, and another example, and no entertainment expenses, net income of eighteen taels of silver every month, comparable to the draft money of me - I still have outside entertainment! - Such a Baoyu, he goes out shopping, where does he need the third sister to give him money! Where did his monthly routine go?! I know, eighty percent of his monthly money has been ruined by the girls in the room. Hmph, the third sister is his serious sister, he doesn't know that he is distressed, but he has wronged the third sister again and again for those girls, and he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart. ”

If Jia Baoyu is a smart person, when Tanchun gives him money, he should show his brother's appearance and directly say that he is rich! His share is more than three times more than that of Tanchun! But what about him? Those girls received the monthly money, and they ruined his monthly money, he didn't say anything serious, and praised those girls like young ladies, pitiful Tanchun, and could only be wronged.

A trace of anger flew on Jia Jiu's face, but it made Shi Xiangyun lower his head, and even Tanchun couldn't speak.

In fact, Tanchun befriended Jia Baoyu, made shoes for Jia Baoyu, and gave money to Jia Baoyu, not so much the closeness of the two brothers and sisters, but rather the fact that Tanchun did it for Mrs. Wang. It's just these small calculations behind the scenes, and Tanchun is not easy to tell others, so he can only keep it in his heart.

This kind of abacus of Tanchun, in Jia Jiu's opinion, is simply in vain. A woman like Mrs. Wang is selfish, has absolutely no sense of family honor, and does not have any vision. Even if Jia Jiu said to Mrs. Wang that if she takes good care of Tanchun, it will be an arm of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu in the future, Mrs. Wang will not believe it. Therefore, if there is no accident, Tanchun is about to get married, and she is just a maidservant girl. His name and Jia Huan's name will never appear on the genealogy of the Jia family, whether it is from the Ning Guofu or the Rongguo Marquis Mansion.

Even in Jia Jiu's opinion, in Gao E's sequel, letting Tanchun be a gift from the Jia family to the Nan'an Palace, replacing the little county lord and relatives of the Nan'an Palace, is already his best ending.

Tanchun to please Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu is in vain. He was destined to be exchanged for silver money, power, and other people's support for Jia Yuanchun by Mrs. Wang. In front of Mrs. Wang, Tanchun is not even sand at all, it is just a small prop for him to show benevolence and exchange for wealth in the future.

Shi Xiangyun said very confidently: "Maybe it's really a few things that are more expensive......

Jia Jiu said: "Where did Baoyu buy it?" ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "I heard that it was in the market. ”

"If it's in an antique shop, forget it. If it is a stall in the market or a merchant's burden, this kind of thing is already very expensive if it is a copper one. If you get it on the back street, as long as a hundred big dollars, you want to be square, you want to be round, and you want to be flat. You can also draw customized drawings and be satisfied! As for the baskets woven by willow branches, there are baskets in the garden at home, and they can be woven as they want when they break two branches. If the willow branches are too monotonous, you can also choose thatched or bamboo. Jia Jiu said, "Baoyu is also true." He has so much money a month, and the gold and silver silver he gets during the New Year's holidays are even better, and he occasionally goes out and brings so many copper things to his sister? Could it be that the third sister treats him badly? The last time I saw his new shoes, it seems that my third sister made them for him! ”

Tanchun's eyes were red.

Compared with Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu is a milk doll at all.

Jia Baoyu was considerate of the girls in his house and respected the girls in his house, but he never really understood their sisters and sisters, nor did he really respect them.

Is the girl's psychological pursuit the same as that of these masters and girls?

Respect also depends on people. (To be continued......)
