As soon as Fu Jin and the others left this Prince Jane's mansion, the actual hostess was the Guerjia clan, and taking the person away seemed to imply that she was not a good sister-in-law and would abuse her husband's brother. Although she didn't want to see those half-grown children, she felt a little embarrassed when she was exposed in front of the prince and father-in-law.

"You're burying me, aren't you?" Guarjia sneered, "What? Am I treating the fifth child badly? Is it cold to him or hungry to him? Tell me this clearly in Amma's presence. ”

Tong Ying said calmly: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I just think that I don't learn well in real schoolwork, and I need someone to guide me." There is no learned gentleman in the palace, but I have one there, and I also save the effort of inviting people again. What's more, there is a big place in my house, and there is an empty yard, so it is nothing to live in my brother's house for a few days, so that he can concentrate on studying. ”

Guerjia snorted coldly: "Who are you coaxing?" I know you don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you! Got an empty yard? She glanced at Shuning, "It's better to take a concubine's room, my brother and sister are so virtuous, I will definitely not object, and I won't save you from having nothing to do every day!" ”

Tong Ying frowned, Shu Ning was a little angry when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, I have always been respectful to you, but I have been married for less than 100 days, and you have already said this concubine and another marriage several times." No matter how virtuous I am, I don't have the reason to let anyone step on my face. Are you so opposed to this marriage?! ”

The Guerjia clan glared and was about to come back, but was stopped by Yarjianga and reprimanded: "The more you talk, the more nonsense you get!" What do you do as a sister-in-law?! Then he turned his head and apologized to Tongying and Shuning: "Second brother and second brother and sister, your sister-in-law is foolish for a while, I will compensate you for her." Please don't blame you. ”

Tongying naturally won't say anything, and Shuning will accept it when she sees it. It's just that Gualga's face is ugly.

Yarjianga saluted Prince Jane, who was on the main seat, and said respectfully: "It's all the son's negligence." I didn't pay attention to my brothers' homework, and asked Amma to punish him. The son will definitely bring the best master for his younger brothers as soon as possible. ”

Prince Jian slowed down and nodded with satisfaction: "You know that you are wrong, and you can change it." But the most important thing is to find a few good riding and archery masters, and as for those who are in second place. If it's a gentleman in the second family, please come and give you some guidance, and it's not impossible for your younger brothers. However, it is more convenient to make it easier in the house. After that, he glanced at the Guerjia clan: "Have the kung fu to discipline your daughter-in-law to be the housewife, and you must have the bearing of being the housewife." ”

Yarjiang hurriedly answered, and he and Tongying accompanied the two to say something, and then sent his father back to the backyard. The Guerjia clan glared at the others fiercely as soon as Prince Jane was gone. As soon as he shook the handkerchief, he went back to his room.

Tong Ying and Shu Ning glanced at each other and said to their brother: "Sister-in-law just misunderstood my eldest brother, don't blame her too much." Yarjianga shook his head and said: "It's because I used to spoil her so much that she lost her sense of proportion, and she couldn't even distinguish between right and wrong." I'm so busy these days that my feet don't touch the ground. didn't pay attention to the things in the house, but she was so careless as a sister-in-law. When it spreads, others think I ordered it. It's really a long head and a short insight. ”

This is the elder brother's housework, and Tong Ying didn't have much to say, he paused and explained: "I proposed to let Shige go to live in my mansion, just to help the fifth brother, and I didn't hint at burying the eldest brother." Big brother, don't get me wrong. ”

Yarjana laughed: "I don't know this yet? We are brothers, and I know who you are. He glanced at Shuning and lowered his voice and said, "Although I don't like those little rabbit cubs, I won't do anything that makes people gossip." You can rest assured. I knew I would never give them a chance to complain to Amma! ”

Tongying lowered her head and thought about it. Pulled his brother to the side and whispered: "Big brother, don't be careless, Ama is only forty this year, and his body is still healthy, and he has always favored Fujin, Guo Fujin, Wang Fujin, and they have more than one son." Here, we watch, fortunately, if we go back to Mukden, who knows what others will do? Big brother, don't think that everything is all right just because you have sealed the world. ”

Yarjianga was stunned when he heard this: "You mean...... Will those women not give up? Hmph, indeed......"

"Therefore, the eldest brother should be cautious in doing things, and don't let people grab the handle. It doesn't matter if the brothers lift up more. Azaran is old and can't change his mind. But Shige and Wuge are different, their mothers are now out of favor, and they can't say anything in front of Ama and Jifujin, let's win them over more, they will favor us, which can be regarded as a help. Even if it is Guo Fujin and Wang Fujinsheng's younger brothers, if we can let them stand on our side, what is the use of their mother's scheming? ”

Yarjianga smiled and patted Tongying on the shoulder: "Good brother brother knows what to do." Then he went out and called the governor of the palace.

Tong Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that such a statement would make her brother treat the other brothers better, at least on the surface, and not treat them badly. Turning back to Shang Shuning, he smiled worriedly and said, "It's okay, I'll just convince the eldest brother to be kind to the younger brothers." ”

Shuning didn't ask much, just approached and covered his cold hands to warm up.

The subordinates of Prince Jane's Mansion have undergone a rectification, and they dare not neglect the other little masters anymore. I also heard that Ilgen Jue Luo had made a suggestion, and Yarjianga invited some of his father's former subordinates to serve as the cavalry and archery master of his younger brothers......

Ilgen Jue Luo has been pregnant for six months, and Yarjianga wants to take advantage of the New Year to fight for a side blessing for his concubine. As soon as Guerjia heard about it, he almost broke the whole room, and beat a girl ring who didn't like it. However, she fainted because she was too excited, and when the doctor came to see her, she was already three months pregnant.

Now she regained her complacency, and she didn't know what she had said to Yarjana, who, after leaving the room, instructed her family to postpone the application for the canonization of the Ilgenjue Luo clan.

He felt very guilty about his concubine and went out of his way to comfort her. However, Ilgen Jue Luo didn't care at all, and even persuaded him in turn: "The child in Fujin's womb is important, and the concubine doesn't care about these titles, as long as she can stay by the master's side, she will be satisfied." Again. Who knows if the concubine is a male or female? In the future, when the concubine gives birth to a white and chubby son, it is not too late for the concubine to ask for canonization. ”

Yarjianga felt very pleasant when he heard it, and he only felt that this concubine really deserved to be his favorite woman, which was called the general knowledge, and from then on, he valued Ilgen Jue Luo more much.

Tong Ying and Shuning sighed after hearing about this side blessing turmoil. However, it has nothing to do with them, and they are more focused on preparing for the first New Year after marriage.

There are various properties under the name of Beizi Prefecture. Including the Jumahe Xiaozhuang who was married by Shuning, they have reported their output, and the income is quite considerable. But when Shuning saw that the income from the account books sent by the two hot spring villages in Changping was only half more than that of the small village in Jumahe, she knew that there was a ghost. Immediately summoned the two heads of the village and asked them carefully.

Ma Si and Wu Xudong, the two heads of the village, both said that this year's year is not good, the grain harvest is small, and there is not much surplus for their own food. As for fruits, vegetables and flowers. Because there are many hot springs and farms doing the same business, the prices are all down, and the income is only a little more than in the first half of the year.

Tongying doesn't know about farming. At first, I thought they were telling the truth, but when I saw Shu Ningdi's face, I knew that something was wrong, so I just watched quietly.

Shuning said lightly: "This year's situation is indeed not good, but if there is less grain harvest because of this, I am afraid that God cannot be blamed, right?" The two Zhuangzi are both fertile land, and the grain grown together is thirty or forty hectares, which is actually less than three times the output of the small village that I married. You must know that the fields of the small village are only middle and upper. In addition, the price of melons, fruits, vegetables and flowers in winter is four or five times that of usual, and the income in the second half of the year is only a little more than in spring and summer? Where did all this money go? Do you deceive me that I don't know how to farm? Before cheating. Why don't you ask me who Amma is?! ”

The two heads of the village looked at each other. I quickly remembered that the last time I heard from the steward Wang who accompanied the room, it seemed that the new lady's mother's father was good at farming, and his own family had Mrs. Zhuangzi who had cooked when he was at home, and he couldn't help but regret it.

Wu Xudong's eyes rolled, and he said cautiously: "The small landers have been running Zhuangzi for more than 20 years, and they have always acted according to the rules, which may be different from other families. As for the money for melons, vegetables, and flowers, they were all set by the merchants, and listening to Mrs. Di's words, I think they deceived us and didn't know how to do it, so they lowered the price. ”

Shuning was unmoved: "It turns out that when you ran Huangzhuang in the past, the production was worse than that of ordinary people?" This errand is truly ...... I want you to take care of Zhuangzi, I hope that you will increase your income for the house, but now it will make the house suffer such a big loss, I am afraid that it will be better if you change anyone. What do you say are such useless stewards to keep for? ”

The two heads of the village did not dare to speak. In the past, even the most shrewd Manager Yin didn't show what they did, and this time they have done it very carefully. Unexpectedly, this new lady, who seemed to be very kind and easy to talk, still showed clues. They are all Huangzhuang families, and after being given to Beizi Mansion, they are not as beautiful as before, and they only want to take more benefits. But if you really lose your errand, how will you live in the future?

Tong Ying saw it clearly and snorted coldly: "It seems that it is not the first time that you have come, you are really bold!" Think no one knows? Why don't you spit out the money you swallowed in the real account! The two Zhuang heads were busy kowtowing to quit, but Shu Ning added: "Don't move your minds, what kind of grain can be harvested in one hectare of land, how many buckets can be sold, and how much melons and vegetables are sold, and how much melons and vegetables are ...... flowers, I know these things, if you do it again" She snorted softly, and the two Zhuang heads retreated sweatingly.

Shuning wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but she also knew Tongying's concerns. These two people were given together with Zhuangzi, and if they were to be replaced, they were afraid that there would be some trouble on the side of the Internal Affairs Office. As long as they are afraid and don't dare to be so greedy anymore, it is of course better to let them continue to manage Zhuangzi than to use newcomers. Although she has the intention to promote the people she trusts, she doesn't dare to do it too obviously when she first arrives, so she can only figure it out slowly.

The income from the re-reported accounts has almost doubled, of which fruits, vegetables and flowers are really the majority. The grain from the Zhuangzi Shang area, together with the Lu rice obtained from the title of Viscount Bei, was enough for the whole of their province to eat for several years. Therefore, all the other food that was left for his own food was sold. Shuning had the heart to help her mother's family, so she took charge and sold it to SF Grain. Gu Quansheng gave his relatives and friends the same price as the big house in the Baron's Mansion, but they were all happy.

According to Tongying, every New Year, the emperor will give red envelopes to the emperor's relatives, and he got three thousand taels last year. If this year is also this number, the income in the house will be 14,500 taels. It was the first time for Shuning to handle so much silver, and she was a little excited in her heart. However, she also knew that the foundation of Beizi's Mansion was thin, so she didn't dare to spend a lot of money, and half of the silver was saved.

In addition to preparing for the New Year in your own house, you must also send New Year's gifts to the palace and various houses. This year's gift is different from the birthday ceremony, and it can't be replaced by a painting, so Tongying didn't bother to just take the money

Shuning stopped Tong Ying and Manager Yin from going to places like antique jade shops to buy them, not to mention the high prices, and it was not easy to find good things. She specially sent someone to Huo Comprador's shop, and happened to meet him himself, so she asked him to come to the house to explain her budget and delivery goals, and Huo Comprador smiled and completed the matter.

The New Year's gift sent to the palace removed some small and fragmented objects, mainly an ivory flower bonsai, carved very finely, and the price was 3,000 taels, and the comprador was discounted by eight. Originally, Tong Ying took a fancy to the other two ivory works in the Huo family's treasure Xuan, one was a thirty-three-layer ivory ball, and the other was an ornament of Tiangong Wonderland, but the price was too expensive, so she had to give up.

Shuning also bought another white jade Guanyin statue to give to the Queen Mother, although she did not deliberately stammer, but the public relations work still had to be done, Tongying was still a little decent in front of this old lady, so she regarded it as a gift for her husband.

What was sent to Prince Jane's mansion was a pair of coral bonsai, one each for Prince Jian and Prince Jian, but there was a slight difference in size.

The New Year's gifts in the palaces and princes' mansions are much more low-key, and the New Year's gifts to the mother's family are mostly practical, such as Tongying, the precious medicinal material that my mother loves to collect, grew up in Fengtian, and some medicines such as ginseng are very easy to obtain; What was prepared for his father and brother was the official hat, the top of the hat and the materials of the pearls, and there was no leakage even on the side of the big house.

In the past, she was always busy with her mother, and she never took charge of these things by herself, and Shuning felt that she was really tired. Fortunately, Tongying mentioned a lot on the side, although Manager Luo had a straight face, he was really capable, which reduced her burden a lot.

Finally, I was busy with the New Year's ceremony and busy with the affairs of the house. The most troublesome thing is that Tongying suddenly changed his mind and wanted to eat the kind that Shuning bought for him, and he hurriedly went to Zhengmingzhai to place an order, and Shuning stared at Tongying a little angry.

Tong Ying tugged on her sleeve and whispered, "You've only been busy lately, so you can take care of me." ”

Shuning was angry and funny, but she still blushed slightly and said, "I know what's going on, I'll talk about it at night." Seeing that Tongying was happy when she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then hid.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Japan thought that the two couples would celebrate the New Year together, but considering that they were going to participate in the New Year on the first day of the New Year, Shuning and Tongying just ate dumplings and went to bed early. In the middle of the night, the three watches got up, and with the help of Yahuan and the eunuch, the two couples put on a full set of dresses and went to the palace.
