What Jia Jin did when he went to the Viscount's Mansion, Xing Shuang didn't plan to care at all.

Although the son looks like he is only seven years old, he is twenty-eight years old in modern times, and he has grown here for another seven years, adding up to more than thirty. Such a big person should have his own privacy, which Xing Shuang still respects.

But she was ready to talk to her son about what his goals and intentions were in this world.

"It seems unlikely that you will be allowed to take the imperial examination. These eight strands, let alone you, even a native like your eldest brother are not good at it.

"We're here, and we don't know when we're going to be back. The people here are precocious, and boys can already marry wives at the age of fourteen or fifteen. I won't urge you during this time, you should think about what you want to do to make a living at that time. ”

Jia Jin immediately said: "The major I studied is not very useful here, but I want to do management things a little." ”

Xing Shuang raised her eyebrows: "Management, that's the housekeeper?" If you have a field at home, it's not impossible. In that case, it is time for you to know what property I have in my family and what private property I have here. ”

After that, Xing Shuang called Jin Chuan and asked her to bring all the account books at home.

Jin Chuan ran back and forth four or five times before he brought all the account books. This is only the account book of this year, and does not include previous years.

Xing Shuang pointed to the pile of books on the table and said, "These are enough for you to read for a while, after reading them, you can read them from previous years." After reading it all, it is estimated that it will take a while. ”

Jia Jin looked at the pile of ledgers on the table, and her eyes were shining.

Ordinary people would faint for a few minutes without a headache when they saw so many numbers, but he immediately picked up a book and read it.

Xing Shuang didn't bother when she saw this, and it happened that Zijuan brought the new big picture, so she got up and went to the flower hall to see the new one.

Zhen Yinglian came in from outside, and said to Xing Shuang with a smile: "The water surface of the cold Jiaozhou generation is frozen. The sister-in-law got off the boat in Jiaozhou and was hiring someone to hire a car to prepare to come back by land. Wuling sent someone back to report the news first, saying that it was estimated that he would be able to leave after 12, and he would arrive in the capital in seven days. ”

Xing Shuang turned her head and asked Zijuan, "What day is today?" ”

Zijuan said: "It's fifteen today." ”

Xing Shuang said to Zhen Yinglian again: "So it will be five days away, maybe you can hurry up on the road, and there are some two days in advance." ”

Zhen Yinglian replied: "I think so too, and ask someone to clean Xiangyangju again." Then the New Year's gifts of each prefecture are ready, and the wife will see when they will be sent. ”

Xing Shuang said again: "In previous years, it was sent at twenty, but this year my wife is not in Jinling, so it is okay to send it later." By the way, can you send it to the ancestral house? ”

Zhen Yinglian said with a smile: "I won't forget, although Brother Zhen and they just moved over, but the wife of the ancestral house has already cleaned up, and now it is just a matter of putting things away, so I don't think it will be busy." It's just that this year is different from previous years, they moved, and I took it upon myself to add a few more. ”

Xing Shuang asked her, "What's the addition?" ”

Yinglian said: "But all kinds of satin cloth have their own horses, thinking that they have only moved, so they have to buy some new bedding furnishings." The tablecloth on the table, the curtain on the door, which one should not be used? We sent it here, and it saved them from going outside to buy it again. ”

Xing Shuang smiled and nodded: "You are the most intimate and proper, I am naturally relieved of this." ”

Yinglian asked again: "I heard that the old lady is going to incense this year, I think that my wife is always bored at home, let's go and play together, okay?" ”

Xing Shuang laughed, pointed at her and said, "I'm afraid it's because of this that you came to me." I'll just say that you didn't make any mistakes in the past, so how can you take things back to me now. ”

Yinglian smiled shyly, came over and pulled Xing Shuang's arm, and said very embarrassedly: "Mother is used to making fun of me, and these things should have been returned to my mother." ”

Xing Shuang was overjoyed, agreed to it, thought about it and said, "You go to Zhijietang to talk to the second wife, and say that we will all go to Shangxiang a year ago, and ask her to invite Aunt Xue together." ”

Zhen Yinglian asked curiously: "Why do you call her home again, could it be that Miss Bao's good thing is near?" ”

Xing Shuang said: "Whether it's a good thing or not, I don't know." However, since she made a splash for her last time, and took her to the Beijing Palace, it seems that many official wives have taken a fancy to her. A few days ago, someone wrote a post to me, inviting me to come to the door, and I had a good relationship with that person, thinking that I wanted to ask me to kiss him. ”

Zhen Yinglian asked curiously: "Which one is it?" ”

Xing Shuang said: "It's the wife of Zhang Shouxing, a Fujian tea horse road patrolman." ”

Zhen Yinglian tilted her head and muttered, "The wife of the Fujian Tea Horse Road patrolman, how can she be in the capital?" ”

Xing Shuang smiled and said, "You don't know this, do you?" Zhang Shouxing's father is Zhang Lunyue, the secretary of Dali Temple. He only has such a son, who is expensive when he is young. Later, Zhang Shouxing became older and became an official in the court, and His Majesty also sympathized with Zhang Lunyue, and only let Zhang Shouxing serve as an official in Beijing, not letting him stay away from his parents.

"It's just that this Zhang Shouxing is upright, honest and upright, and it is not easy to be promoted if he does not let go of his political performance. This year, he was sent out and went to Fujian to be a tea horse road patrolman. When he left, it was not appropriate for his parents to be taken care of at home, so he left his wife to accompany his parents in Beijing and took office by himself. ”

Zhen Yinglian smacked her tongue when she heard this: "Could it be that this Shouxing wants to take a concubine?" ”

Xing Shuang patted Yinglian and said angrily: "Chewing his tongue, this Shouxing is in his forties, and he is for his son." Zhang Shouxing also only has one son, named Heze, who has not yet married a wife in sixteen this year. ”

Zhen Yinglian chuckled: "If you bluff me, my wife won't make it clear." It's just that since this Zhang family has been an official for two generations, why would he fall in love with a merchant woman? ”

Xing Shuang shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this, but I heard that although his family has been an official for two generations, the father and son of the Zhang family are both honest and upright, so the family background is average." Thinking about it, I also want a daughter-in-law who can run the house, as for this identity, I don't care.

"Besides, Bao Yatou herself is not bad, although she is the daughter of a businessman, she is full of poetry and books, she is smooth in dealing with people, and she is also shrewd and capable, so for his family, it is the best choice."

Zhen Yinglian listened and said, "Then will Aunt Xue look down on the Zhang family?" No matter what, that Lord Zhang is just a fourth-grade official, only the same product as our uncle. ”

Xing Shuang pursed her lips and smiled: "How can he compare with Zhu'er, how old is he now, and how old is Zhu'er?" In addition, the four products of Zhu'er are the four products of Beijing officials. The fourth grade of the local government saw the fourth grade of the Beijing official, and it had to be automatically demoted by three levels. ”

Zhen Yinglian covered her mouth and grinned: "Madam, this is not very modest. ”
