The turmoil at the full weekly banquet on the autumn night was not mentioned after the parties returned to the public mansion, and it was over.

Three days later, it was Wang Qingqian's birthday.

Qiu Lulan took Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang to the door as promised, and the Lian family received them very warmly. At the birthday banquet, Wang Lian found an opportunity and quietly asked: "I heard that the descent period of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Lexin is in the same month as the Wanshou Festival?" ”

"Exactly." Qiu Yulan knew what she meant, "After the matter of the eldest princess, His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

Wang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Qingqian accidentally won the princess that year, but he couldn't get together the dowry at first, and this was finally solved after copying the Duan family; followed by the death of the Empress Dowager Gu and the first emperor, and at the suggestion of the important ministers, the King of Wei was filial piety for three years; After the end of the filial piety period, Wang was inexplicably slandered by others...... In the past few years, the Lian family has simply broken their hearts for this marriage, and it is easy to look forward to the filial piety of King Wei, and Wang Lian's family wishes that his daughter would leave the cabinet as soon as possible, so as not to have any more branches!

Now that I have Qiu Yulan, I think that although July has reached the second half of the year, it may not be too late to hold a big wedding in the remaining months. Especially the eldest princess of Yongfu born to the Empress Dowager Jiang, who is two years older than Wang Qingqian, Wang Lian thought that he was afraid that his daughter's youth would be delayed again, and he thought that the Empress Dowager would also have to calculate for the eldest princess of Yongfu. So if there is no accident, Wang Qingqian should be able to go out this year.

Thinking so, Wang Lian's heart must have asked Qiu Yulan for advice on how to wear the Holy Birthday Day in the next few days.

After returning home from the Lian family's banquet, Qiu Yulan changed her clothes, and Shan'er in front of Shui Jin - Xian'er and Juan'er are now all allowed, and the four big maids who came up with Shui Jin are still named from the female characters, which are Shan'er, Jiao'er, Jie'er, and Yuan'er, headed by Shan'er, come over and say: "My young lady asks the nineteenth young lady to come over and talk about it!" ”

"What's the matter?" He Shuijin has always been a busy person, especially now that she has a son under her knees, and she has to guard against He's mother-in-law, it will be even busier, this year, but there is anything to let the henchmen directly pass the word, and rarely ask Qiu Yulan to negotiate in the past. At this moment, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but wonder if something had happened again?

Sure enough, Shan'er said softly: "It seems to have something to do with the fact that several sons over there in Kui County want to escort Miss Sun to Beijing." ”

"Count the days, the eldest brother and the eleventh brother have already been filial piety, and Huizhi is also twenty years old, so it's time to go back to Beijing together." Qiu Lulan followed Shan'er to the third room, and when she saw He Shuijin, she asked, "What is this......?" Is there something that needs to be discussed? ”

He Shuijin glanced left and right, and waited for everyone to withdraw, and then said: "If it's just the grandchildren of the big house who come back with their great-grandchildren, it won't be anything, but this time, there are also people in the second and fifth rooms who come together." ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yulan was slightly taken aback, "Aren't these two rooms out of office?" Come to Kyori...... Is it just to come and see? ”

"It's really good, but do you think that although Kui County is much richer than before because of our Jiang family, no matter how rich it is, can it be compared to Jingli?" He Shui Jin flicked the tea bowl in front of him, and said, "Even if they really came here to open their eyes, when they see this world of flowers, can they really continue to hold on to it or not?" Grandfather's attitude towards his uncle and grandfather, we are all very clear! At the beginning, it was the intention of the uncle and grandfather not to let the second and fifth rooms go out, but now the uncle and grandfather have gone, and they have not stayed until the end of their lives, and the second and fifth rooms are not allowed to go out of the office - you say, if the people in these two rooms beg for the grandfather, will the grandfather be soft-hearted? ”

"Besides, even if they don't say this, they will rely on eating, drinking, and having fun in the capital......"

and Shui Jin put his hand on it, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that younger brothers and sisters, you also know, there are a lot of people in our family who only spend money and don't care about earnings!" Your fourteenth brother is one of them! Although I have some experience in taking care of the industry, I don't have the magic of turning stones into alchemy in the end, and it is okay to maintain the current situation. ”

"To put it mildly, now the property of the Guogong Mansion is being taken care of by our three rooms, but in the future, the four rooms, and the eighth uncle's room, are all taken for granted, and there is no reason to reach out in the other rooms - the big house has been with my grandfather for decades, and it is okay for them to have food, clothing and housing in one room, if the second and fifth rooms also regard this Guogong Mansion as a big wrong, this ......"

Obviously, Heshuijin does not welcome people from the second and fifth rooms to come to Beijing!

After all, the property she is currently presiding over will be divided into four parts in the future, with two shares for the third room, and one share for the fourth and eighth rooms - that is to say, without considering the gifts that Qin Guogong will give to his nephews before his death, half of the assets that Shui Jin is worried about now are managed for the fourth and eighth rooms.

Even if the third room is a long house, you can take two shares, but-the third room is not just a male heir of Jiang Yaheng, the property of the third room has to be divided into four more parts, the late Jiang Ya love house receives two shares, and Jiang Yayi and Jiang Yaheng each receive another share. Even considering that it has been Heshui Jin who has presided over them for many years, Jiang Ya Heng can share more, but it may not be able to surpass Jiang Yaqing's share!

In this case, it is reasonable to supply outsiders, and it is reasonable to have grievances with Shui Jin, who wants their hard-earned property to be squandered by someone who suddenly feels no pain?

"And this is only considered from the perspective of family assets, from the political cake, even if the second and fifth rooms are currently in a high position, but what about the future? Even if Qin Guogong may be able to delay it for a few years, but the second room and the fifth room are always the people of the Kui County men, and the men of Kui County were not allowed to go out of the second and fifth rooms before, not only to encroach on the interests of the nephews too much, but also to appease Jiang Tianqiao's grievances and resentment - now that the Kui County man has just died, the people in the second and fifth rooms will follow the big house back to Beijing, saying that how can it be possible without the permission of the big house? ”

Qiu Yulan's heart turned, "Dafang is not a person who can think of brotherhood, they must have a plan when they do this-is because Jiang Yayue passed away, and there are not enough credible people, so they plan to pull help from the second and fifth rooms?" ”

Considering from Qin Guogong, the head of the Jiang family, Qin Guogong doesn't like Mrs. Han, but the second and fifth rooms of Mrs. Han are also the blood of the men in Kui County. When Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianyuan were wronged, the second master Jiang Tianju and the fifth master Jiang Tianjun were still young, and they were not instigated by their mother to bully their half-brothers and sisters, so Qin Guogong's feelings towards these two nephews were not bad.

These two rooms have been in Kui County for decades, no matter how prominent the Jiang family in Beijing is, they can only guard their father as a squire in their hometown - it is completely for their mother, no matter how they think about it, Qin Guogong will have some pity for them.

From the perspective of the second and fifth rooms themselves, they are not allowed to go out of office, and they are not allowed to go to Beijing to take the test if they can study, and their fame is artificially limited at the level of lifting people. Even if this ban is removed, it will not be able to develop in a short period of time. And because they have been nesting in Kui County for many years, they have never gotten along with the relatives of Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou, and they can't talk about much affection.

In contrast, although Dafang has many grievances with them, he is always closer to the bloodline, and the children of the same branch have more contacts. If they enter the office, if they don't follow the big house, who else can they follow?

"I really didn't expect Jiang Tianqiao to choose like this after his father's death - this move is also tantamount to a magnanimous score in front of Qin Guogong." Qiu Yulan pursed the corners of her lips and said slowly: "It's just that they said they were coming, so we can't say we don't want them to come, right?" ”

"The fourth brother's family under the second uncle's knees, and the fifth brother's family under the fifth uncle's knees, the people who will be filial to Kui County, except for the married daughter, can be said to be all here." He Shui Jin took a sip of tea, "The fourth brother has a reputation for lifting people, and the daughters under his knees are not mentioned, the only male heir, Jing Dui, is only eleven years old, do you think he can give Chunfu a try when he comes?" If you don't get in the spring, maybe you will continue to take the exam, I have inquired, what is the style of our fourth brother......"

Spread his hands, "It's a little similar to starling." ”

Well, there is no need to say anything else, Qiu Yulan already knows the character of this fourth brother who has never met.

"Even if I win, it's not that I said bad things about starling, but brother and sister, think about it, do you think that starling's personality, even if he has a Jinshi fame, is a person who is willing to leave Beijing?"

Of course it can't be - Jiang Yadan accompanied Jiang Qizheng to Shazhou before, which was already his only advantage and valued his brothers and sisters, and at that time, Jiang Yadan thought that he could return to Beijing by going to Shazhou, and never planned to stay in Shazhou for a long time - if it was something else, he was told to leave the bustling capital, I am afraid that he would not be able to kill him!

"It's just that Jing Dusk's age is the time to study, the fourth brother can talk to him, don't worry about him if he doesn't take him outside, and I'm afraid that there won't be many Hongru in Beijing outside, which will delay him!"

Therefore, after the fourth son Jiang Jingzhao's family came, unless he was willing to leave, the possibility of wanting to get rid of him basically did not exist.

"Besides, the fifth brother - the fifth brother's heirs are not abundant, just the two sons, after Jing Zhan's death, his wife Xiao Jin was shocked. You also know the news of the hanged husband's martyrdom, brother and sister. ”

"Now the fifth brother's family is said to be a family, but in fact, the fifth brother and his wife and their young son Jing Man, Jing Man is two years older than Jing Duan, and he is only thirteen!"

"The fifth brother is not interested in reading, but I heard that he has a lot of experience in pleasure. When he was in Kui County, he was alone, and he never spent 100 gold on his daily use! This is still because Kui County is just a county, and its prosperity is limited! When I came to Kyoto, I really didn't know what kind of expenses I would have to pay to survive. ”

He Shuijin sighed, "Father Xiao, I heard that Jing Zhan was similar to the fifth brother when he was alive - Jing Man is still young, but I think it should be similar to his father and brother?" You say that if this is the case, how will we live our lives in the future? ”

Qiu Yulan knew that this level of squandering of the Guogong Mansion was actually affordable—but why!

couldn't help frowning: "Don't they plan to bring any expenses to Beijing?" ”

After the rise of the Jiang family, although there were countless acquisitions from the Jingzhong side, the Kui County side followed the light, and there was a lot of money. Otherwise, how could Jiang Ya be late and spend 100 gold a day?

"The big house has been eaten for so many years, and it is said that it was opened by Grandma Dou before her death." He Shuijin sneered, "With them as an example, the second and fifth rooms that they brought into Beijing to, do you think they will take advantage of this?" In their eyes, they have always been in the countryside, but they have been wronged! It's so easy to come to Beijing, we are used to them! ”

"When the time comes, they will see their grandfather, and he will most likely see him. Jiuhui will leave them to live in the mansion......"

After moving in, people stretched out their hands to speak, but they didn't mention the money, Qin Guogong was still alive, and the water and gold were embarrassed, can he still open his mouth to ask for it?

Qiu Yulan rubbed his forehead and muttered: "Or, sister-in-law will say that there is something wrong with the accounts now, and reduce the use of everyone in the mansion except for grandparents and grandmothers?" When the time comes, these two will come, and compared to our reduced share, it can't be said that we will be slow. In addition to the expenses, the sister-in-law pretended to be confused and let them figure out how to go by themselves? ”

It seems that this is the only way, and you can't just drive people away, right?
