Da Jiang heard Ziqing say that he wanted to take some chickens and ducks, so he said: "Grandma, this will go, the chickens and ducks have not been killed, why don't I send the masters home first, and when grandma thinks about what she wants, I will make a special trip to pick it up is Qing'er's pastoral life." so that they may be well prepared. ”

Shurui also said, "Yes, mother, let's go home." Second brother, they are still waiting for us at home, this day is not good, if it drags on, we really won't be able to enter the city. ”

Shu Rui is also worried that Ziqing is not safe outside, besides, this day is really cold enough, the north wind is blowing, Shu Rui doesn't want Ziqing to suffer.

Ziqing listened to Shurui's words, so she had to dispel this idea and go home. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Fan said: "Aunt Xia's grandmother and mother came yesterday, and the eldest uncle said that he would pick up the wind for them at his house at night, and grandma will come over when she comes back." ”

Ziqing listened to it and said secretly, it was really here that he shouldn't have come.

After Ziqing freshened up, she took Shurui to Zifu's house, and before she entered the door, she heard Mrs. Xia's voice: "Who know that because of this, it is still down, I heard that their family is also planning to enter Beijing at the end of the year to find a way." ”

Shen sighed: "Okay, what are you tossing around?" The children's relatives have not been affected, right? ”

Ziqing was confused when she heard this, and when she entered the door, Mrs. Xia was busy talking, Ziqing asked well, and when she saw that there was no old lady Xia, she asked, "Why didn't you see the old lady?" ”

"There are some water and soil adaptations along the way, and it is a little uncomfortable to enter the house, no, rest at home."

As he was talking, Ziyu hugged Wen Lin, Xia Ganyong helped the old lady to come, Ziqing also said hello to Hello, and Chun Tao served tea. Shen accompanied them to talk. Yanran and Yongxuan Yongqin were playing with Wenlin, Ziqing turned to the flower hall, and Liu was arranging for the maid to set the table.

Ziqing didn't want to inquire about anything, and Liu smiled when he saw Ziqing: "Your eldest brother is in the study." I haven't had time to ask yet. ”

Ziqing smiled: "Forget it, I can't help if I know, I don't have to be more troubled." It's better not to know. ”

That's true. That's right. The second brother and sister are checking the accounts in the small study, you can help me to take a look, last month's dividends should come out. Liu smiled.

"Yes, not to mention the accounting, I have a headache when I see the account books now, and these accounts in my family are not enough for my headache? There is also a glass factory, which has a thick stack every month. This counts. Let them do it. Ziqing said.

"By the way, speaking of which, Xiaosi and his brother-in-law are not here this year, what is the glass factory like? I also pointed to it and gave my daughter a dowry. Liu smiled.

"Don't worry, you're indispensable. This year, several large factories were built. Where not to use cement and glass? There is also the wharf, which was only halfway made in the old year, and it will be almost the same, and the warehouse is not less built. Ziqing said.

In the dock warehouse of Songjiang Mansion, Wen San also specially left two for Ziqing, and the goods of Ziqing's family were piled up and turned, which saved a lot of rent.

"This year, this year, your family should be able to make a lot of purchases in the Light Palace, right?" Liu said with a smile.

"Make-do. It's less than two thousand taels a month, not counting those bitten things. Ziqing estimates that this imperial merchant will bring Ziqing a maximum of 40,000 taels a year, and this emperor is still relatively economical.

Liu listened and was about to speak. The Chen family came out, and when they saw Ziqing, they said angrily: "My sister didn't help settle the account when she came, knowing that I was much slower than you to do this." ”

"After practicing all these years, it should have grown a little, right?" Ziqing said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, not really." Chen laughed.

Fu Shi handed Ziqing a silver ticket of fifty taels and said: "This month is ten taels more than last month, it seems that the weather is cold, and there are more people who come to take a bath. ”

Ziqing thought about the yard for a while, it seems that there is not much open space, and if you squeeze a few yards, it will be a little nondescript, after all, people have considered the spacing when designing, so she said: "It's better not to destroy the beauty, but it looks small." ”

Yang smiled: "That's what I mean, too." ”

Yang's speech is generally not strong, but when he saw Ziqing saying the same as her, he was naturally happy.

Liu said: "Go and invite someone to come out, the table is set." ”

When Ziqing saw it, she went to the study to call Zifu, but she didn't expect Zilu and Zishou to be there, so she smiled and said, "What did you guys say?" ”

"What can there be? But ask them their homework, what are you going to do? Zifu asked Qing'er's pastoral life.

"Sister-in-law told you to eat." Ziqing said with a smile.

Zilu and Zishou stood up and left first, Zifu and Ziqing asked as they walked, "Do you know why the Xia family came?" ”

"No, I just heard a phrase when I entered the door, like something had happened? Will it affect the Fu family and the Qin family? Ziqing asked.

Zifu stood up and said, "I haven't inquired yet, but it seems that the three of them can't get out of it, and it's not clear how big the matter is." ”

"But I just saw the fourth brother and sister, as usual, I didn't see her worrying." Ziqing asked.

Zifu was about to speak, when Chun Tao shouted, "Master, I'm waiting for you." ”

Zifu said, "Let's talk about it when we come back." ”

After the meal, Ziqing accompanied Shen to talk to Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia proposed to take the old lady back to rest first. Ziqing hurriedly asked the Shen family what happened to the Xia family.

It turned out that this Lord Qin was related to Lord Fu by marriage, so Lord Qin and the prefect of Luzhou were reversed, but coincidentally, the imperial court wanted to mine copper ore in Luzhou, and the government naturally took the lead, and this Lord Qin secretly bought a few nearby mountains and wanted to mine them privately in the future.

"But, what does this have to do with the Fu family and the Xia family?" Ziqing asked.

"The Qin family felt that the risk of the family was too great, so they dragged the Fu family and the Xia family into the water, and now, the imperial court has known about the matter, it is said that the Holy Thunder is furious, as for how to deal with it, it is really not good, it is estimated that they should enter Beijing at the end of the year." Shen sighed.

Zifu said: "It turned out to be this, I said why didn't I hear the wind at all?" If there is any other corruption or bribery, the officials will be able to know about it. ”

Ziqing smiled: "Don't they know that this mountain was donated by us?" ”

"I didn't tell them this, ignore her. If you don't do a good job, you want to make foreign money, and we are not in Anzhou, otherwise, if you don't buy it with us, this matter will be troublesome. Shen said.

"It is estimated that the black yarn hat is difficult to keep, looking at the mood of the saint, I heard that the first batch of gunpowder bought a few days ago came in, and the silver was earned from Lin Kangping's ship, and the textile factory in Songjiang Mansion also began to make money, the mood of the saint should be good, right?" Zifu said.

"The holy mind, as courtiers, you must not try to figure it out, not a single one, I don't know how the catastrophe came? Also, several of them are expected to come to you to intercede, because Xiao Si is not here, you can think about it carefully. Zeng Ruixiang said to Zifu.

Zifu replied: "Dad, don't worry, I still don't know the depth of this." ”

"Do the four siblings know?" Ziqing asked.

"I don't know, Xiao Si is not here, what can she do? It's just annoyance. Shen said.

Ziqing returned home, thinking about this person's heart, it was really greedy, this Chen family had just committed an accident and was demoted to Meizhou, but I didn't expect that this Mrs. Qin didn't learn a lesson, and dragged the Fu family and the Xia family into the water, it seems that this world is really unpredictable, I think that at the beginning, when Zixi proposed marriage to the Fu family, the Zeng family was nothing, but it was only a few years, but the Fu family stagnated.

Zifu's meaning, the affairs of these three families, to say that it is not big, because the imperial court has not clearly stipulated that the people are not allowed to buy mountains and open mines, but the timing is not right, this imperial court is opening mines with great fanfare, and you take advantage of the advantages of your official position for your own selfishness, which is obviously out of place.

Because of this Mrs. Xia, Ziqing almost didn't go to Ziyu's house, usually asked a few words when Zifu's house asked for peace, Mrs. Xia told Fu the cause and effect of the matter, Fu still didn't believe it, and cried a few times, but couldn't help anything, and wanted to write a letter to Zixi, but the other party didn't even have a fixed address, and wanted to ask someone to probe the wind from the emperor, but usually came and went to several ladies and wives, and the level was low, and no one could see the emperor at all.

Fu Shi touched the wall like a fly without a head for a few days, and Zifu persuaded her that it was better to wait for her parents to come before making plans, after all, her father had been an official all these years, and there were always some acquaintances and colleagues.

Fu Shi had no choice but to give up when he heard this, and at this time, two months had passed.

Entering December, there were several heavy snowfalls, Ziqing stayed at home, holding a hand stove on the kang all day long, playing chess with Yanran, playing, Xiaoyi doesn't come every day now, sometimes only once in three or four days, probably it's cold and inconvenient to go out.

Ziqing didn't even bother to do the New Year's goods, last month Anzhou sent a cart of things over, Xiaoqing Xiaolan knew that there was a shortage of vegetables here, and she dried a few large baskets of dried vegetables, which was enough for Ziqing to eat for a while. Others, there are also rabbits, robes, sheep, pigs, etc., all raised in the Zhuangzi.

Zifu They entered December, and the assessment of officials also began, and they were also very busy, and they rarely went home.

Liu always looks for Ziqing to play mahjong these days, Ziqing feels strange and asks, "Aren't the four of you just right?" Can't you pull me? ”

Liu said with a smile: "How can the fourth brother and sister be in the mood? Didn't you watch her go around all day long? There was no shortage of money. The third brother and sister can't always sit when they're pregnant, and I don't bother to go to her, or Mrs. Xia will have to make a kick when she hears it, and I have to deal with her, and you guys will come in turns. ”

"This, the matter of the fourth brother and sister, I really don't know, I just go to see my father and mother every night, I don't like to go out when it's cold. Didn't the eldest brother persuade her? What are you going out to toss around? Ziqing asked.

"She's an anxious person, it's not the end of the year, she's afraid that the people in the ministry will make trouble, so she wants to take care of it first." Liu said.

Officials, Ziqing thought of Wen San, and had the heart to ask him, but he was worried about causing trouble to him, besides, he came to find Ziqing these few times, and it was really not easy for Ziqing to find him.
