Chapter 467: Ruyi

The inner house of the Yanzheng Yamen has hung red lights everywhere.

Each door has also changed the door god, the couple, the listing, the new oil peach charm, a new look.

Daiyu is not a stingy person, and ordered Cui Yi's family to give the daughters-in-law, grandmothers and girls who were on errands in the house a New Year's Festival reward, and they were exempted from kowtowing.

This was supposed to be a reward for the servants and maids to kowtow one by one on the first day of the new year, but Daiyu was impatient with this, so she sent it in advance.

And it's all big red seals!

It's just that the daughters-in-law and servants in the inner house of the Yanzheng Yamen, except for one Cui Yi's family and a few old mothers who are too old to be directors, most of them are people who are prepared by Shen Yan's old wife Wu for Jia Cong, and they are not the Lin family, but only on errands in the Yanzheng Yamen.

And the grandmothers and servants of the Yuan Lin family had already been sent out by Jia Cong.

At least nine out of ten of them were someone else's eyeliner, and the remaining one was a double agent......

Keep them, in case one day they are really bought and poisoned in the well kitchen, which will make people regret and die......

Maybe there is this reason, other people's servants and maids are doing things, so the "year-end bonus" issued by Daiyu is enough for a year's monthly money.

How can you not let everyone smile?

Now Daiyu is a really wealthy woman, and Jia Cong once calculated an account for her during chatting.

Not to mention the considerable amount of dowry left to her by her mother Jia Min, Lin Ruhai has been working in Yangzhou Salt Courtyard for many years, and the silver she has accumulated is a huge sum.

However, it is not as exaggerated as the rumored two or three million taels of silver in the previous life, and now the two million taels of silver left in the treasury in a year are all great harvest years.

During the Zhenyuan Dynasty, after years of war, in which year was there not a deficit of millions of taels on the accounts of the household department?

Every year, the provincial treasury is sent to Beijing, and it is empty after staying in Taicang for less than half a year.

In the second half of the year, either the ministers scavenged from the treasury of the palace, or they were sent to the people, and some of them ate grain.

In order to maintain the operation of the front-line army and the imperial court, the Zhenyuan Dynasty ruled for a total of 25 years, but in some places the tax was collected to 35 years.

It is also thanks to Emperor Chongkang that he is not bad for the people and admits this account.

If you change the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the next ten years will be erased and disrecognized, and the Son of Heaven is very poor......

Therefore, if Lin Ruhai has two or three million taels of silver, Emperor Chongkang will not let him go......

But the ancestors of the Lin family have been four generations of princes, plus the fat shortage over the years, there are still hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

And when Jia Cong took Daiyu to Suzhou to sweep his mother's tomb, he sold Lin Ruhai's land, ancestral house and furniture and antiques together.

That's the family business that the Lin family has accumulated over several lifetimes!

The Lin family has always had a difficult heir, and they are almost inseparable from their sons, so you can imagine how rich this family business is.

If Daiyu is a man, this family business naturally cannot be sold lightly.

Can the ancestral industry be abandoned?

But she's a girl, how can she have the heart to pay attention to this......

And she obeyed Jia Cong's words, and knew that Jia Cong planned to take her and Lin Ruhai into Beijing to be raised, and it was better to sell it than to leave the family business empty in Suzhou Mansion.

She wasn't ready to come back......

And although the Lin family still has distant relatives and branches, even if they have the intention to occupy the ancestral business of the Lin family, but now the Jiangnan Shi clan has long been frightened by Jia Cong's means of raiding the family and the clan's base Jingguan, who dares to say more about him?

What's more, Jia Cong still sold the Lin family's ancestral business to the Lin clan for eighty percent below the market price in the name of Daiyu.

In this way, the dough was not torn, and Daiyu also lost a good reputation.

In this way, even if Daiyu is not worth a million, it is not much worse.

These things naturally have to be told to her, so that she will not be like in her previous life, thinking that she is just a parasitic fence, living in Jiafu and being looked down upon......

In fact, she is not poor, she is very rich.

Jia Cong still remembered the look of surprise on Daiyu's face when she heard this, she only knew that the family was not bad at eating, wearing, and chewing, but it seemed that there was still some distance from the rich family.

Before her mother was alive, she told her that the grandeur and wealth in the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing were far from comparable to the Lin family.

Moreover, the food and clothing in her family is only the level of ordinary eunuchs, not to mention wealth.

How can there be so many belongings?

After Jia Cong heard his doubts, he explained to her the importance of Lin Ruhai's status.

In that position, even if he was not greedy for a penny, only the usual filial piety silver received every year was enough to make many officials jealous to the point that their eyes were red.

And the Son of Heaven is also watching from above.

Whenever there is the slightest bit of ostentatiousness to show off wealth, the knife that is afraid of raiding the house will be handed over.

In addition, Lin Ruhai was born as a scholar, and he is not luxurious, so the home consumption is only exquisite, not extravagant.

As for the ancestral part, most of them are land deeds and furniture antiques, and before they are realized, they can't see much money......

After clarifying this, Daiyu became happy.

No one really wants to be a poor girl, of course it's a good thing to have money.

But that's all there is to it......

Except for rewarding the people below with a lot of money, the amount of net worth doesn't seem to mean much to her.

It's rare that she still remembers the lack of silver in Jia Cong's hand, so he just needs to take it.

Thinking of the sincerity and encouragement in this girl's eyes at that time, a smile curled up at the corner of Jia Cong's mouth......

"Yo! Master Cousin is back! ”

Cui Yi's family was also dressed in new clothes, and when he saw Jia Cong enter the second gate, he came forward to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Cousin, go inside, the girls are making dumplings and reunions in the house, and they are lively!" ”

Jia Cong had a rare smile on the following women who had a lot of treachery and slickness in their hearts, and he was more lenient in the next year, and smiled: "Oh? Southern Province also eats dumplings for the New Year? ”

Cui Yijia said with a smile: "It's not, Yangzhou Mansion pays attention to 'lighting up the ball and falling on the lamp', but the young master and the girls are all from the capital, so the girls also made dumplings." ”

Jia Cong was stunned, nodded and said, "Then Mama is going to be busy." ”

Cui Yi's family was busy and left, and Jia Cong raised his feet and walked inside.

……

"Little horn, shut up! That's the sesame candy of the reunion, it's almost all about for you to eat it with Fang Fang Yuanyuan! ”

"Damn it! Xiaojiaoer is really greedy, and even eats the round filling! ”

"Oops! Why is there only one auspicious wishful egg left that Mama bought back today? ”

"Small! Horn!! Child!! ”

"Not like even if it's not like ......"

"And said it's not you, your mouth is a smell of chicken!!"

"Ouch! Don't talk about it, I'm going to burst with laughter......"

The last sentence is Daiyu's voice.

Jia Cong had a smile in his eyes, and was about to push the door in, when he saw the door open from the inside, Qingwen and Chunyan together, dragging the breathless little horn who was laughing on his back and walked out, Fang Fang Yuanyuan obediently followed behind and picked up a small embroidered shoe that Xiao Jiao'er had fallen off......

Xiaojiao'er didn't have any shame at all, she was so happy that she couldn't catch her breath, but the two violent people were tired and panting, sweating profusely.

The laughter in the back was about to pierce the roof......

The three of them walked forward with their heads bored and almost bumped into Jia Cong, who asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

After bluffing the three of them, Qingwen and Chunyan let go at the same time, and Xiaojiao'er fell to the ground without accident......

Jia Cong was busy preparing to help, but after Xiao Jiao'er turned around twice, he climbed up, and after calling "Third Master" crisply, he continued to giggle.

Seeing her like this, Qingwen and Chunyan, who were originally angry, were all laughed, not to mention Jia Cong.

In the back, Tea Lady, Xiaohong, Qingwen, Zijuan, Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan and others heard the movement outside and walked out with a smile.

Then listen to Qingwen and Chunyan's accusations of "starving cats and cats", Xiaojiaoer did the "evil things" of "running out of bamboos"!

Jia Cong heard this, looked at the round little horn and finally lowered his head a little shyly, and said with a smile: "Where is the evil thing, it is obviously cute." ”

When Xiao Jiao'er heard this, a spirit raised his head, and his little round face turned into a flower, and he looked up more and more proudly and giggled.

As a result, she was very happy and sad, and the queen mother, who was looking up, fell to the ground with a "bang......

Daiyu, who had been holding an embroidered handkerchief to cover her mouth and laugh non-stop, saw it and lay directly on Zijuan's shoulder, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand.

After a while of excitement, Qingwen and Chunyan still insisted on driving the three little guys away, otherwise don't think about having a good reunion tonight, the stuffing has been eaten by them!

Xiao Jiao'er was not bad, he touched his round belly with a smile, and went back to sleep with Fang Fang Yuanyuan.

Qingwen is half dead! The others couldn't laugh......

There was no smoke cage outside, and it was a little cold, so the group went back inside.

Qingwen and the others went to prepare the garden and dumplings again, but Daiyu didn't know how to do it, so she asked Jia Cong to sit.

Jia Cong lay down on a fragrant concubine couch and breathed a sigh of relief with a slight tiredness.

Seeing Daiyu holding a cup of tea with a blue and white jade cup, Jia Cong hurriedly sat up and took it, and said with a smile: "How can you let my sister serve?" It's hard work, it's hard work......"

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she said angrily: "The third brother is making fun of me again!" ”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Where is the word......" After saying that, he drank the hot tea in his hand and stretched his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Daiyu's gaze soothed.

She took the blue and white cup that Jia Cong had drunk, and said, "You lie down and rest again, you are so tired ......"

Jia Cong was not hypocritical, he stretched his waist and lay down, smelling the faint fragrance, listening to the chatter of Qingwen and Xiaohong not far away, Chunyan seemed to be a good persuasion on the side, but in fact fanned the flames, and then after being discovered by Qingwen and Xiaohong, they turned the gun and attacked together, and there was a laugh.

He slowly closed his eyes and thought about the mirror again.

Don't delay too long, wait until the first day of the new year to set off.

Or horseback riding, faster.

From Yangzhou Mansion to the south, the Yangtze River and Ganjiang waterways are all countercurrents.

It's just that you can't ride all the horses, otherwise how could that little friend Henry stumble and fall into the river......

He wanted to see this person again and talk more about his sister.

You must always know yourself and your opponent in order to have a purpose.

Time is running out......

Just as Jia Cong was deep in thought, suddenly, he felt that something was rolling in the center of his eyebrows.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Daiyu playfully holding an egg rolling at the center of his eyebrows.

The egg is painted with characters and landscapes, colorful, and there are auspicious words written on it.

Seeing Jia Cong open his eyes, Daiyu chuckled, rolled at Jia Cong's heart with an auspicious wishful egg, tilted her head to look at Jia Cong, and said with a smile in glutinous Yangzhou dialect: "Roll, roll, roll, bless the third brother with good luck, good luck every year, and all the best!" Come on, the third brother eats it quickly, hehe! ”

This is the custom of Yangzhou, in my childhood memory, this is how her mother did it to her father during the New Year......

……

PS: I'll slow down for two days first, sort out my thoughts, hehehe......
