In the blue yarn cupboard, Miss Biao said in a light tone: "Although my mother left letters and last words before she died. But I only thought of the safety of my brother and me, but I couldn't help but ignore the guys in the south, if the imperial court takes over the fleet, it will inevitably send another manpower, those guys have served for my Huo family for generations, if they lose their livelihood from now on, isn't it that my Huo family has mistaken them? So I wrote another letter and sent it to the palace along with the token and my mother's letter. What the letter says...... But instead of dedicating the fleet to the imperial court, it was dedicated to the saints. ”

Chunying immediately thought that the imperial court and Jinshang were ...... Is it the difference between public and private ownership?

But I heard the young grandmother ask puzzledly: "What's the difference?" Are they all dedicated to the emperor? ”

"When Emperor Taizong opened the sea and forbade the South Seas, a total of five families participated, and later four more were added, but only a hundred years of ups and downs, and now only six are still there, and the rest are either cut off from children and grandchildren, or bad things were taken back by the imperial court. During the reign of the first emperor, several fleets that were originally owned by the Inner Treasury were assigned to the household department, which was supervised by the household department, but the income was not as good as a year. Not long after the Holy Lord was in power, he was about to make a big move, but he couldn't take the money from the household department for himself. Compared with his subordinates, he is dwarfed. I offered the fleet, but it was exactly what he wanted. Moreover, I made it clear in my letter that I was willing to give all my family wealth, and I only begged the Holy Lord to leave the Huo family boatmen. ”

The young grandmother was taken aback: "This ...... Why are you doing this?! The livelihood of the guys is important, and you don't need to go bankrupt?! ”

Miss Cousin chuckled: "Why should the eldest cousin be in a hurry? I'm not done yet. I made it clear in my letter that the dedication of the fleet was my father's will, so how could I treat his heirs poorly? Therefore, the queen sent a secret envoy to tell her that the Huo family's silver is still the Huo family's, and the shipwright will also stay, and from now on, the Huo family can get a 10% dividend of the fleet every year. ”

The eldest grandmother said in surprise: "Really? That's great! With this dividend, your eldest cousin and I don't have to worry about your siblings' livelihood in the future. The Holy One is truly a benevolent monarch! ”

Chun Ying frowned when she heard this, is there really such a good thing in the world? Someone offered a mountain of gold and silver to the emperor, and the emperor would give two pieces of gold to that person? However, as an emperor, you must show your benevolence, maybe for other ministers, so as to show how benevolent and lenient you are.

Miss Biao's next words indirectly proved her guess: "The Holy Lord is certainly a benevolent monarch, but ...... The fleet always has to be taken care of, and if the saint doesn't want to hand it over to the household department, it will save effort if he can keep the Huo family. I have written to the steward that he should serve the adults who have come to oversee him, and that he will receive a bonus of one percent each year. I'll take 30 percent of them to subsidize the boatmen. As long as the Holy One treats the Huo family favorably for one day, the Huo family will naturally be loyal to the Holy One Day. When the other families know about it, they will definitely feel the mercy of the saints, and they will be closer to the saints in the future. ”

The eldest grandmother sighed, "I see...... This is also a good thing, since you are the person you are used to in the Huo family, it is naturally towards you. After a pause, "Although the steward is newly arranged, the few people your eldest cousin found before are very reliable, and with them watching, I don't think this dividend will be discounted." ”

Chunying nodded slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Linglong shaking outside, as if she was looking at herself, and then remembered that she had been inside for some time, hurriedly sorted out the things on the table, took the broken flower branch and walked out gently, her heart moved, and she whispered in Linglong's ear: "There are people coming and going outside, my sister has time to persuade Miss, don't talk about important things here, I really want to say it." It is better to send someone to guard the door. ”

Linglong's originally wary gaze softened, nodded slightly, and waved her hand to signal her to go out. Chun Ying went out, but her heart was full of joy.

There is a lot of good news today, not only has my sister's marriage been settled, there is hope for leaving the country, and even Hu Fei, who went south, has kept his golden job, I just hope that he will be safe and sound, and when he returns to the capital in the future, he has already fulfilled his wish and achieved fame.

She went to work happily, but she didn't know that after she left, Linglong told Miss Cousin what she said.

Miss Huo Yi frowned and said, "How can I not know? It's just a grandmother's kindness, and the new yard has not yet been renovated. Besides, my grandmother's people all know the rules, and I haven't done anything unseemly, so if I have to guard against this, I just don't have to speak! ”

Linglong didn't dare to interject, so the young grandmother Jing smiled and persuaded her: "It's your girl who is careful, you should praise her, why are you angry?" ”

Huo Yi lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I said it wrong, don't blame my cousin." It's just ......," her face turned pale, "the person who needs to be guarded against the most in this Manchu Mansion is treating me very coldly now, and he will probably not send someone to eavesdrop on me anymore." And all the people I call for are reliable people...... Besides, I live in my grandmother's yard and have to guard against people, so doesn't it make my grandmother unhappy? ”

The young grandmother sighed, "I'll tell you the truth. My sister was annoyed. My sister is a very smart person, but you are still sick, and you are young, so you should put aside your worries and open your mind to recuperate. Thinking so hard all day long, being careful everywhere, even if you are not sick, you will get sick. I know that my sister has a lot of grievances in her heart, but in this world, how can everything go well? It's also good for yourself to look away. ”

Miss Cousin seemed to be a little choked: "What the eldest cousin said is right, how can I not know?" It's just that...... The world is hot and cold, people's hearts are unpredictable, how many people in this world are like the big cousin and sister-in-law, who refuse to add icing on the cake, and only want to send charcoal in the snow? Everyone is inclined to be inflammatory, and I don't know when they will secretly calculate you......"

"I was about to advise you on this. In this world, even if you are close relatives, you also pay attention to the word 'etiquette', if you respect people, others will respect you, no matter what thoughts you have in your heart. You can't lose the word 'li'. My sister is good in everything, but she is stubborn, and since the day she entered the house, she has been like a thorn all over her body, and she is not gentle enough to speak and do things. It's just a matter of paying it back in front of the old lady and the Hou Ye, and treating others is a little too arrogant. I've been with my sister for a long time, so I naturally know that my sister is not such a person, but it's just ...... When others don't get along with you much, they will naturally have ideas. The eldest grandmother smiled faintly, "My sister may think that my words are harsh." It's just that I really don't want to see my sister stay so withdrawn like this. Even if you keep filial piety, you can talk to the old lady, or learn needlework with your sisters, and your wife can often go to ask for peace. Presumably, Mrs. Gu is in the spirit of heaven, and she also hopes that her sister can get along well with our whole family, don't you say? ”

Huo Yi was told to bow her head to eat tea, Linglong was a little anxious, and interjected: "Grandma, don't you know...... "Grandma" Grandma glanced at her: "How don't I know?" Just treat the elders, you can't forget the etiquette, the old lady loves her sister, and when she sees that her sister understands etiquette, she naturally feels more pity. My sister was the pearl of Jinshan Bofu, presumably she has never been wronged, and I also feel sorry for my sister, so I said this when I said this, if my sister didn't listen, just when I was talking nonsense. ”

Huo Yi shook his head with tears in his eyes and said: "I know that my eldest cousin has good intentions, I used to be at home, I was pampered by my parents, and no one would give me any anger, but now that I have no parents, I will be annoying to put on a shelf." She reached out and held the hand of the eldest young grandmother, "Good sister-in-law, no one has ever tried so hard to persuade me, thank you for reminding me." In the future, if I don't do well, please teach me more. ”

The young grandmother's eyes were also moist, and she held Huo Yi's hand with both hands, and her heart settled down.

The days passed day by day, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was the Chongyang Festival, and the maids also added jackets, and the sewing room began to make winter cotton jackets.

The Lu family intermittently sent letters in, and Qiuyu's marriage had reached an understanding with the Mu family. It is said that the woodsteward and his wife did not mean to be angry at all, but just lamented that their son Bazi was not born well, and he could not match a good girl like Qiuyu, and Chunying sweated profusely when he heard it.

However, Mu Niangzi also helped introduce a family, surnamed Lu, who lives in Magpie Hutong outside Chongwen Gate, has a small courtyard with three entrances to live in, and two other large miscellaneous courtyards are rented out to people, and there are more than 100 acres of land outside the city, which can be regarded as a solid family. There are no parents above, it was a lone seedling, but there is a little, the feet are a little lame, but the appearance is quite good, and I want to marry a wife who is both talented and good-looking and can take care of the house, because the requirements are too high, and I have not married in my twenties this year.

In addition, the Qida * grandmother Zhao of the Hou Mansion family also heard the news and came to the door again, her brother was originally a talent in the village, and the talent was also passable, it is said that Mr. is very optimistic about his autumn results next year. There have been many families who have come to the door to propose, but his family has not nodded. Qida's grandmother played a great role in it, because she believed that her brother would be an official in the future, and if he married a girl from a small family, he would not be able to do it in the future, so she would rather marry a maid than a little girl. It's a pity that her ability is limited, and she can't ask for a first-class girl like Liuli Jade, Qiu Yu is also the top in the second class, and her father is a steward, so she came to ask sincerely.

Lu Yougui and his wife are very embarrassed, these two families have their own benefits. The Lu family is well-off, but unfortunately the man is a little disabled, and the Zhao family has a good future, but they are a little poor, and they are outside the city. In desperation, I had to write a brief description of the situation, and quietly asked someone to bring it into the house, so that my daughter could choose by herself.

Since Qiuyu received the letter from home, she hid in the room all day and refused to come out. Chunying knew the truth, so she secretly made fun of her, laughing so much that her sister hit people with a red face, and then got up seriously to help her analyze. Pearl, Wenyu and others, who were good friends with Qiuyu, heard the wind by chance, and they all came to help with ideas, so ashamed that Qiuyu couldn't wait to hide in the bed. laughed, even the other girls noticed it and snickered. Someone had already reported to the old lady, because the girl said playfully, to please the old lady, she rarely showed a smile, said: "In this case, let her be picked, and when the date is set, I will give her a dowry and let her come out of the pavilion!" As soon as these words came out, the girls started to coax more and more.

Nanqi leaned on the pillar under the corridor and smiled faintly, and when he saw Chunying squeezing out of the house, he laughed while watching the excitement, so he said, "Which one do you say is good?" ”

Chunying was stunned, turned around and smiled: "There are good and bad families, and it depends on how far away my sister is, but in the end, I have to see myself to decide." ”

Nanqi was a little surprised and smiled: "Your sisters have a pair of good parents. I'll tell you the truth, if it's me, I'll choose the one surnamed Lu, and don't have anything to do with the house. ”

Chunying looked back at her, she turned around and left without saying anything, Chunying frowned, wondering if she knew anything, and hurriedly chased after her, but a figure rushed in from outside the courtyard gate, and one eye was wrong, so she bumped into Chunying, and the two collided into a ball and fell to the ground.

Chunying was dizzy, sighed twice, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the girl ring who was full of embarrassment and had messy hair was not Manru?

I saw that Manru was full of tears, frowning between his eyebrows, and his little face was not powdered, yellow, emaciated and thin, which made people feel a little pity.

It's a pity that Chunying didn't have a trace of pity in her heart, and when she saw her, she frowned: "Can't you see the road when you walk?" How do you hit people indiscriminately?! ”

The tears in Manru's eyes were even greater, as if she had suffered a great grievance, she bit her lower lip tightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she was about to shed tears.
