Donation

On the day of Mrs. Yang's banquet, it was still full of friends.

There are those who are not as attentive as the Shen family and Mrs. Wu, and there are more attentive people like the Song family in the Changping Marquis Mansion.

Although it is a concubine, but the crown prince succeeds to the throne, how can Yang Fenning be a concubine, and this concubine is also expensive.

But then again, no matter how expensive she is, she is just a concubine, so except for a few people who were originally friends with Mrs. Yang, or deliberately tended to be worshipped, everyone else at the banquet was lukewarm, just passable, and there was no difference from ordinary banquets.

- The Mansion of Lu Guo is not far away, if you really want to catch the hot stove, it is better to go to the wife's house.

However, there are few people who can come to this banquet who are not smart people, no matter what they think in their hearts, they can get by on face, and they can enjoy themselves - if it wasn't for that mistake......

This thing is also ridiculous, Lord Yang is a secretary of the ministry, and the official assessment has to take his way, Xu Hanlin has been a Hanlin for more than ten years, and Mrs. Xu has long stopped expecting him anything.

This son is the only one...... The fame has also been examined, and now it is time to assign places to the new officials, some of whom can stay in Beijing and some who cannot stay in Beijing.

Even if you stay in Beijing, whether you will be assigned to the Qingshui Yamen, which has not been opened for three or five days, or to the prosperous place under the emperor's nose, this is all exquisite.

Although the Xu family has a deep foundation and will not pave the way for this child who looks the most promising now, in the final analysis, Xu Hanlin himself has little ability, and the rest of the brothers have hearts - after all, they are sons and nephews, Mrs. Xu is always worried that they will not be extra attentive, and she will have to find a way by herself.

Therefore, for the sake of her son, Mrs. Xu not only prepared a heavy gift, but also flattered Mrs. Yang at the banquet.

Naturally, Wei Jing could not be restrained.

Wei Jing's body and bones have not been better since she gave birth, and no one in the ordinary family pays attention to her, and her heart is depressed, and her body bones are even worse.

Now she is even worse than when An Cheng came out of the cabinet in Anchi.

Walking two steps was like out of breath, and the maid couldn't even move her legs without holding it.

Mrs. Song of the Marquis of Changping was originally flattering Mrs. Yang with Mrs. Xu, but unfortunately she was born in a position, and her family was really a shabby, and her speech was not as unobtrusive as Mrs. Xu's to make Mrs. Yang comfortable, and Mrs. Yang didn't pay much attention to her.

When Song Shi felt that his face was dull, he turned his face and saw Wei Jing, and he had an idea in his heart, and hurried over.

When she didn't open her mouth when she was in the past, she was startled - she was far away before, she didn't look carefully, and when she got closer, she saw that the white and red complexion on Wei Jing's face was all smeared with rouge, and Rao was like this, she couldn't cover the blue and gray under her eyes.

In the end, it is his own daughter, and the Song family is not a person who only knows ruthlessness, so he blurted out, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Wei Jing listened to her mother's plan after giving birth, and she was also disheartened, and waved her hand, "I didn't sleep well last night." ”

What if you say it, is it possible that the Song family will give her a head-out?

After saying this, I have a little expectation in my heart...... In case Song asks a few more words......

But Song just nodded, she was not on her mind now, and casually instructed a few words, "Don't sleep too late at night, you are young, your body bones can be tossed, don't care about this, you will know when you are old." ”

Wei Jing only wanted to sneer when she heard this, but she had to take care of each other's faces in front of everyone, so she only turned sideways, and then covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Song didn't think too much about it, and pulled Wei Jing, "I'll tell you a few words." ”

"You take your mother-in-law away first, and when I finish talking to Mrs. Yang, you will come back."

"I have a big deal to do with our whole family, and I want to talk to her."

Wei Jing remembered the rumors before, and frowned, "But do you want to donate officials to your brother?" ”

The Song family might as well Wei Jing knew, and nodded, "Exactly, I want to have a good talk with Mrs. Yang, but your mother-in-law is stirring up in it, and I can't interject." ”

Wei Jing's fingernails pinched her palms tightly, and her face was deliberately calm, "Do you know why my mother-in-law is so close to Mrs. Yang?" ”

Knowing that the Song family didn't care, he didn't wait for her to speak, "San Lang has recently been admitted to fame, and my mother-in-law is looking for a good place for him, so that he can't get out of the Qingshui Yamen." ”

When Song heard this, he was first overjoyed, "That Xu Saburo is really capable!" ”

Then this big girl won't have a good life, maybe she can still pull and pull her mother's family......

hurriedly pulled Wei Jing over, "Don't be confused, live well with Xu Sanlang, when you have a child, your status will be stable, and your brother and sister will still ......"

As he spoke, he blamed Mrs. Xu a little, "My son has become famous, what are you fighting with me ......?"

Naturally, she is more anxious about her reputationless, and her own daughter is still her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know how to be considerate!

Wei Jing couldn't listen to it, and asked Song directly, "Since my mother wants to donate money to my brother, can I get the silver?" ”

The name of this official donation has been for many years, but the conditions are harsh, the first thing is that businessmen cannot donate officials, but they are not businessmen, who can take out the two or three hundred thousand taels of silver to buy officials?

That is, from the beginning, the most official donation is the top eight grades, and the highest person who donates the official can only go to the fifth grade, and can not have real power, salt, rice, cloth, wine, involving these official positions, donating officials are not able to do.

In addition, the number of donors each time is very small, and three or five is considered too much.

Therefore, donating officials is a very uneconomical deal, and most of them are bought by wealthy landlords in order to make a false name and glorify their ancestors.

There are too few noble families who are willing to donate officials.

After listening to the statement that the Song family was going to donate officials to his brother in the Xu family, Wei Jing thought that it was the people under him who chewed the root of his tongue, but he didn't think that the Song family really had this idea.

is also curious, how much foundation the family has, Wei Jing is not uncounted, and the purchase of the ancestral house may not be enough for these two or three hundred thousand taels.

Hearing Wei Jing's question, Song told her what he was thinking, "I have already thought about it, someone in my mother's family knows that big merchant and is willing to lend us silver, and the interest rate is higher." ”

"But once your brother takes office, this silver can't be repaid, who hasn't heard of the 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years?"

"It's not easy to find this way, if it weren't for your aunt, we would all be kept in the dark."

When Wei Jing heard this, she almost laughed angrily for a while, and then felt that there was such an ignorant mother, and she was not wronged to fall to this point.

"Mother, do you know that those who donate officials are all vain names, and they will not be separated to be the officials of one of their parents."

The court is not stupid, it took a lot of silver to donate to the officials, and then let the officials get the silver back from the people?
