Chapter 144: The Emperor Dies
"Actually, I have a good candidate here." At this time, Li Jingfu said suddenly.
"Who?" Old Man Li asked curiously.
"Brother-in-law of the Chunhua of the Sixth Uncle's family." Li Jingfu said, there are three daughters in the sixth room of the Li family, the eldest daughter Li Chunhua, the second daughter Li Xiahua, and the third daughter is Li Jinhua, because the two young sons before the old man Li Liu have not survived for more than 100 days, so, although it is the sixth room, this eldest daughter Chunhua is two years younger than Li Jingfu.
"You said it's Yao Qianshan? Did you see him? Old Li said.
This Yao Qianchuan, who was the teacher of the Li family's private school, when the seventh brother took a fancy to his talent, he helped Chunhua Bao's matchmaker, but unfortunately this Yao Xiucai is talented, but the luck is not good, and he has repeatedly failed in the township test, and later was favored by the county master at that time, so he became a master to the county master, and then the county master was transferred elsewhere, Yao Qianchuan took Chunhua and followed, and this walk is more than ten years.
And Yao Qianshan followed the Dong Weng who also changed every three years, and it is said that there were still a few years of post in the middle, so over the years, there was still some news at the beginning, but in the next few years, the news was broken. Every time the sixth brother mentions this eldest girl, he is also very concerned.
"Well, I met in Shanxi, the Qin family in Shanxi has a friend of mine, I went to walk when I passed by, and I happened to meet the Qin family in Shanxi to invite him to eat and drink, it seems that the Qin family values his ability a lot, and also wants to help him donate an official, however, he was rejected by Qianshan's brother-in-law, Qianshan Na Dong Weng died of illness in the position of the secretary of the inspection department, and his family wanted to help Mrs. Dong Weng to help the coffin back to his hometown, in addition, listen to Qianshan's meaning. It's coming back too. I should be able to come over when I want to come for the New Year. Don't hesitate to talk to him then. Li Jingfu said.
The gold digging team that rescued him at the beginning was actually the Qin family, but this relationship cannot be said. As for Yao Qianshan, the Qin family seems to value it quite a lot, and he is also capable of it.
Thinking about Zhenniang a daughter, how can she do it alone without a foil in Nanjing, Qianshan is a capable person, especially familiar with officialdom, if you can donate an official. That can also help the Li family support and reduce the pressure on Zhenniang.
"Then let's wait until he gets back." The old shopkeeper Li nodded, thinking in his heart, Nazhi County was kind to Yao Qianshan back then, and now that Nazhi County has died of illness, Qianshan actually rejected the Qin family's desire to donate officials for him in order to help him return to his hometown.
In addition, I am afraid that he is also an assertive person who does not want to be influenced by others. So. Yao Qianshan is both a little bit of a character and a sense of kindness. is also assertive, Brother Qi didn't look away back then, and when he comes back, you can have a good talk with him and see what he means. After all, this kind of thing is also a slap in the face.
Zhen Niang listened on the side, and she was also curious about this Yao Qianshan, Aunt Chunhua was a married daughter, and there would be no record of Yao Qianshan on the genealogy, but before the Qin family in Shanxi was willing to donate officials to pull him, I think there must be something outstanding, as long as it is not the white-eyed wolf like Wang Jincai, the Li family is not guarding against support, after all, this business house must be bigger, there must always be someone behind it, especially the Li family will eventually strive for tribute and ink, there are people in the court, and there is some room to speak.
The integrated model of government and business is the characteristic of the Ming and Qing merchants.
In this way, the family talked and laughed.
In the evening, the sixth, seventh and ninth rooms all got the news, zuihou was brought forward by the seventh grandmother, and the whole banquet was made, which was regarded as everyone celebrating the New Year together, and it was also a celebration of Li Jingfu's immortality.
This banquet was lively, the woman dispersed first, and the aunts and aunts accompanied the old lady to sit and eat tea in the house.
The men outside continued to drink.
And Zhenniang took Brother Xi, Brother You, Brother Run, and Xiaoguan to set off firecrackers outside.
"Okay, okay, this is really the emperor's eyes." In the house, the ladies of several families were chatting, and the Cheng family was still pulling the Zhao family and sighed vigorously. As she spoke, she couldn't help but blush, thinking of her deceased father-in-law.
The first old man Li understood that his eldest daughter-in-law was a little sad, so he changed the topic and said: "By the way, Zhenniang, what are your plans for Zhenniang's marriage?" ”
Huang came back, since the Nanjing side of the matter to tell the old lady 1510, now, Zhen Niang is already the princess's mansion worship, the status is different, there are more people with all kinds of thoughts, in the past, Zhen Niang was no one cared about, and now whether it is Huang's side, or Han Li's side, or Zhao's side, there are all kinds of relatives, but this mind is too mixed, so the Li family has to come up with the charter.
"It's up to the Seventh Uncle to decide." Zhao thought about it for a while, and she understood that Zhen Niang had a 10% share of the ink shop as a dowry, so it was not easy for her to make decisions about Zhen Niang's marriage, so she had to ask Qi Bo Niang to come forward.
Hearing what the Zhao family said, the Seventh Old Lady was not polite, and said: "Don't talk about those other people, Zhen Niang and her second aunt have a candidate, or the third master of the Chen family mentioned it to her privately, if you can agree, you can talk about it in depth." ”
"The third master of the Chen family, if it is the Cheng family, then it is a haode, but several young masters of the Cheng family seem to have been engaged, right?" Hearing about the Cheng family, Zhao couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Cheng Sanye is not talking about people from his Cheng family, but Luo Wenqian of the Luo family." Old Madam Li said.
"Luo Wenqian? The young master of the Luo family, the one who now opens a money bank in Nanjing? Is this done? He doesn't seem to have broken off with the three girls of the Tian family, right? Zhao frowned slightly, and asked in a stack, not because he had an opinion on Luo Wenqian, but because he felt that Luo Wenqian was engaged to the daughter of the Tian family after all, although after the Luo family's accident, this family affair seemed to be broken, but now the three girls of the Luo family did not say that they were married, she went to Nanjing for a while, and she also saw the three girls of the Tian family greeting the Luo family's boy, it was the ink incident of the Tian family, and it was also the three girls of the Tian family who found Luo Wenqian to solve the financial problem, so, This Young Master Luo and the three girls of the Tian family always have some unclear connections, speaking of which, the young master of the Luo family is really a good candidate, but thinking about these, how can the Zhao family rest assured?
"I will let the second daughter-in-law have a deeper understanding of this, I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as it seems." The Seventh Old Lady groaned.
"So, let's talk about it when we understand it clearly." Zhao Shi groaned for a moment. After all, it's his daughter's family. But it can't be ignored at all.
"Hmm. It should be. Mrs. Li also nodded.
In this way, the matter was laid out again.
Zhen Niang was playing outside with a few small crazy games at this time, and the firecrackers were set off one after another, and the laughing official was dressed like a round ball, running up and staggering, seeing that she was about to fall, Zhen Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the little guy laughed and fell into Zhen Niang's arms.
That little nose was red with pain.
"Alright, alright. Zhenniang took them all back to the house, it was really cold, maybe it would snow at night. At this time, Aunt Jinhua, who was standing in the corridor, smiled at Zhenniang.
"Hmm." As soon as Zhen Niang answered, she felt ice on her face, and couldn't help but look at it, and saw one or two broken snow fluttering down. couldn't help but scream softly: "Ah, it's really snowing, Aunt Jinhua is thirty-six." ”
The so-called thirty-six teeth are iron and bronze teeth, and one is accurate.
It's just a blink of an eye. Large snowflakes floated down, and a few small ones were particularly excited. Jump beneath the snowflakes. A few housemaids and mothers were also watching closely from the side.
At this moment, I heard a cry on the street outside: "Silly girl, why can't you think about it so much?" ”
"Ah, what's going on?" Someone asked again.
"What's the matter, I can't live in this world, it's a good haode family, all of them have eaten rat poison." And I heard someone shouting.
"Ah......h
"Is this still alive?" Someone asked.
"It doesn't matter if you can't save it, you can always be saved." Someone replied.
……
"What's going on?" Zhen Niang and Aunt Jinhua glanced at each other.
A daughter-in-law came in from outside, and stepped forward and said: "Zhen girl, it is the mother of the Jiang family who is crying, alas, it is not all the disaster of raising silkworms this year, so haode farming is not allowed, not forcing everyone to raise silkworms, the yamen also said that the silkworm cocoon can be used to offset taxes, but the silkworm cocoon is good or bad, the first product and the second product are all determined by the yamen who come to collect the silkworm cocoon, Jiang Niang's mother's daughter died of illness in the first few years, and a person pulls a pair of children to beg for a living, relying on a few acres of thin fields on weekdays, plus the days of helping people sew and mend will be passed,
But the yamen apportioned the task of raising silkworms, Jiang Niangmu's daughter had to be raised, but she was not very good at raising, the first batch died most of them, and lost a lot of money, and then found a good hand at raising silkworms to learn, only to raise silkworms, but when zuihou deducted taxes, good haode first-class products zuihou are all counted as second-class products, and the taxes are not complete, and a part of the tax has to be paid. Jiang Niang's mother's daughter took the child, and the cold pot at home was cold, so she was sad from it, and she couldn't think about it for a while, so she actually took the two children to eat rat poison together, and fortunately, Jiang Niang's mother was worried about her daughter, so she took some rice from home to find out about it, otherwise, no one would know if she would die tomorrow. ”
The daughter-in-law said, shaking her head and sighing.
Is this such a thing? In Nanjing, Zhenniang is about to know a little about this thing, which has to start from changing rice to mulberry, because the matter of the acres of land at that time was very noisy, changing rice to mulberry actually did not implement, but the benefits of raw silk are really attractive, Zuihou raw silk merchants came up with the Yamen to cooperate, by the Yamen to encourage the people to raise silkworms, the harvest of silkworm cocoons and taxes linked, so that the actual effect of changing rice to mulberry has been achieved.
This is completely a policy decided by patting the brain, of course, it is not that silkworm raising is not good, Huizhou has less fields, but there are many mountains, silkworm raising is really a good livelihood, Zhen Niang's family used to build silkworms at home to live.
However, the silkworm raising of this nest of bees will inevitably cause the purchase price of silkworm cocoons to decline, and the yamen will collude with businessmen, and there will be too many cats in it.
"Well, I'll take a look." Zhen Niang said.
"It's dark and it's snowing again, be careful." Aunt Jinhua stared at it.
Zhen Niang nodded, and walked out of the door, outside the door, a man pulled a cart, and on the cart lay Jiang Niang's mother and daughter's family of three, Jiang Niang's mother followed the side and wiped her tears.
"Jiang Niang's mother's family is not having a good time, where does she have the money to save her daughter's family." Onlookers whispered. There are a lot of people who have the heart to help each other, but the life of the family is not very easy, and they are also powerless.
Zhen Niang squeezed forward and was about to take out the silver in her purse, this kind of life-saving thing, she can always help it, not to mention that she has this ability now.
"Auntie, don't cry, take this bit of silver, hurry up and go to the medicine hall to save people." At this time, a slightly muffled male voice spoke first, and a silver ingot weighing five taels was stuffed into the hand of Najiang Niangmu.
"Alas, thank you little brother." The man pulling the cart was busy, and everyone was also relieved, and then Jiang Niangmu and others sent people to the medicine hall.
watched Jiang Niang's mother and her party gradually walk away.
Zhen Niang only found out at this time that it was Luo Wenqian who took the lead, the snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, Luo Wenqian had obviously just arrived, with a package on his back, followed by two guards, all three of them were simple and simple, and there were snow petals on their heads and eyebrows.
At this time, Luo Wenqian also saw Zhenniang, but he grinned at her.
At this moment, there was another burst of gongs and shouts on the street: "The emperor has died, all the people sacrifice together, dress plainly, prohibit alcohol, prohibit gambling......"
