The people around him urged, and it was inconvenient to stay outside for more in this situation.

Shui Rong retracted his unwilling gaze, and walked away with his companions, hiding in the snowy night outside Ningrong Street, and there was no return.

The 31st of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, before noon.

The Zhenbei General's Mansion delivered the news to the Rongguo Mansion, and he was going to leave at five o'clock in the morning on the second day of the New Year's New Year, and Jia Lian was asked to make preparations as soon as possible.

In addition, the silence in Beijing is as quiet as water, and you can't see the dark tide surging.

Jia Lian got a letter from his residence in the north and south sandwich roads, and told Qingwen to pack her luggage and prepare to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion tomorrow afternoon to enlist.

After Qingwen cleaned up, Jia Lian paced around the hall by himself for a while, and stubbornly endured the idea of sending someone to inquire about the news of the Beijing Palace, but Quan had never heard that night before.

While her mind was restless, Sister Feng came into the house.

Sister Feng already knew the news of Jia Lian from the imperial court, so she forced back her tears and said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the three girls are calling people for a meeting in the Daguan Garden, let's go and have a lively time, and by the way, we will go around and have a look."

Jia Lian didn't want to go, but Sister Feng couldn't help but come forward and pull him out.

Recently, I really apologized to Sister Feng, but I didn't dare to break free, so Jia Lian had to go out of the north-south road with me and come to the back of the Grand View Garden.

When Sister Feng was housekeeper, she always worked in the East Cross Courtyard, but now Tanchun and Li Kun help Mrs. Wang as the housekeeper, and they work in the flower hall in front of the Grand View Garden, counting the number of people every day and distributing signs.

Jia Lian originally went to the Grand View Garden, but after listening to Sister Feng'er's reminder, she turned to the flower hall.

The couple came just now, and there were already many mothers-in-law gathered in the flower hall, listening to the words of the three girls to explore the spring.

"From now on, the repairs and care of all parts of the Grand View Garden will be taken care of by individuals, and they will be in charge of their own business, and you will set a silver tael for yourselves, and I will make a decision at my discretion, and the annual interest will be different and settled."

The three girls are going to sit in the Grand View Garden and give the place to the selected mothers-in-law to take care of.

As soon as these words came out, the mothers-in-law who gathered were all happy.

Taking care of the bamboo forest can pull bamboo shoots and make bamboo drains, and the edge of Daoxiang Village can be seriously planted and grained, and it is even more profitable to take care of a dry flower.

Grandma Zhu, Li Kun, was also in the flower hall, and said at this time: "Now that the place has been divided, the things that are eaten, played, and used everywhere in the Grand View Garden must be provided according to the rules. Besides, let ye profit from it, and then settle the account at the end of the year."

Since it is the land distributed by the landlord, of course, it is necessary to calculate the rent, but these are all silver that can be obtained for free every year, who is not happy?

These mothers-in-law are all happy to say yes.

The third girl Tanchun said: "The general ledger is only calculated on my side, don't go to the account room, there has always been a master who divides everything, and they get half a point, this is an old practice, everyone knows. Now it's my new creation in the Grand View Garden, so I don't need the silver that is the main point of the pipe."

These called mothers-in-law were all chosen to use some honestly, and naturally they were all full of promises.

Sister Feng listened outside the flower hall, and smiled at Jia Lian: "Look at this, only a serious girl in the house can say it, and she is not afraid of taboos. If it were me, the daughter-in-law, I wouldn't dare to fight this idea, otherwise I would be chewed up behind my back, saying that I was greedy, and I would even touch the money in the public office."

Jia Lian said: "After all, the location is different, and the three girls are just acting for the Grand View Garden, and you are not at ease in other places where you are welcomed."

Sister Feng snorted and said, "You are always stupid and don't like to listen, you should follow me at this time."

Jia Lian had no choice but to smile and arch his hand: "No wonder, no wonder."

The movement outside had already been noticed by the people in the flower hall, and Tanchun and Li Kun came out to greet them and shouted, with a sad look on their faces.

The good second master and second grandmother Lian have always been proud, but now they have reached such a situation.

Sister Feng didn't see anything strange on her face, she saw Tanchun and Li Kun, she walked into the flower hall first, looked around and smiled: "It's still a little worse, the land shared by the three girls must be profitable, but there are more people in the Grand View Garden, who doesn't blush when they see you?" If anyone does it secretly

Bad, there is no defense for a thousand days."

People in the world do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, the truth is the same, a god-in-law heard this, where would she not think.

Tanchun followed behind, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thinking.

Sister Feng came to hold Tanchun's hand at this time, turned around and said to a godmother-in-law: "I think this matter is also simple, the wool is out of the sheep, add a quota, and the annual accounts will be returned to the third girl, and a few pieces of silver will be given to those who have not been allocated to the place, and everyone will be happy. It's all like this, who dares to make trouble, whether it is divided or not, they can punish her mercilessly!"

The mother-in-law, who listened with her head down, shuddered, lowered her head, and said, "Yes."

Seeing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to my sister-in-law more."

After chatting for a few more words, Li Kun instructed a godmother to go to the Grand View Garden to do things first.

Jia Lian watched the excitement for a long time on the side, and then he also came in and asked Tanchun, "Why do you have this heart for reform?"

Seeing that Second Brother Lian and Sister Feng didn't mention the matter of distributing the frontier, Tanchun also pretended not to know first, and replied with a smile.

"Good brother, you don't know, it's not as good as before. When the Grand View Garden first got up, it was the gold and silver mountains that were spent, and the number of people in the house was counted, and there were more than 500 people, and the money was like flowing water. At present, the income in the house is as low as a year, and the court says that it is chasing the deficit, and they are living with their hands and feet tied inside and out, and many people have been dispersed. Since my wife has entrusted me with the management of affairs, in this situation, I have to think about it when I am poor."

Sister Feng nodded beside her and said, "It's hard for the third girl to think of this method, in my opinion, it's very good."

Jia Lian found a place to sit down, and said, "It reminds me of the moat on the edge of the imperial city, which has always been outsourced, and in addition to handing over lotus roots and water chestnuts to the palace every year, I also have to pay rent."

The eldest sister-in-law, Li Kun, smiled and said, "So there is still such a thing? There is nothing in the world that cannot be valuable, and the method of the third girl is similar to what Brother Lian said."

Tanchun, who boasted about this, was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled Sister Feng to laugh and hide her shyness.

When Jia Lian was still on an errand in Taichang Temple, he was surprised when he heard that the moat of the imperial city was outsourced, and he thought it was a rare thing, and it was not a suburb of Beijing.

Now that he heard Tanchun say this, he saw another way, and then pointed out loudly: "Daguanyuan is not on the edge of the imperial city, there are no such strict rules, and they have been passed down from generation to generation for people to abide by. Now the third sister suddenly took this benefit to others, so that other people's minds lived, and they would only think about making more profits, and they would not still think about saving in the Grand View Garden. Moreover, there is a difference among the subordinates, and when the control is not considerate for a day, I am afraid that there will be continuous troubles and loss of decency."

"The second master will talk too much at this time, disturbing people's fun."

Sister Feng glanced at Jia Lian, and then said, "So I said that when I should be punished, I should not show mercy, where is there any miscontrol?"

Tanchun nodded, looked at Jia Lian and said, "Second Brother Lian is right, since I have come up with this method, if I am in the garden for a day, I will do my best to control it for a day. The benefits are always more than the disadvantages, and if the place is divided, not only will the expenses for personnel and plants be reduced in a year, but also four or five hundred taels of silver will be gained, and a few acres of land will be added to the land and a shop, which can be regarded as a living water entry."

Jia Lian shook his head lightly, and couldn't help but be secretly amused.

I also wanted to send to the frontier, so I listened to the news of the reform of Tanchun and came to persuade him.

She earns 500 taels a year, and she will suffer a lot of trouble, and if she is tempted to take advantage of it, she will inevitably have a day of backlash. The rules inside and outside are gone, and the mothers-in-law who have divided the land only put their own property in the Grand View Garden, and the family has been intriguing all day long, and the people's hearts are even more uneven.

This makes people far away, and they can't rest assured.

What is four or five hundred taels of silver a year, and the errand fee for Zhao Da and Zhao Er is not enough. If his official position is still there, when the officials enter Beijing at the end of this year, the military department will not be able to send hundreds or thousands of taels of silver one day, and this is still a situation that has never opened his mouth to pass on the meaning.

Now even if he is down, but there are still some silver in the three holes of the cunning rabbit

Target. If you are worried about the money in the management of the Grand View Garden, you can take the five hundred and two thousand taels of leisure, and it will be clean and clean, and there will be no troubles.

Tanchun saw Jia Lian shaking his head, as if he was disdainful, and immediately said, "Second Brother Lian, don't laugh at it, although this matter is small, no matter how unorthodox it is, I will definitely do it." Otherwise, watching the mountains and mountains empty, people will be struggling and fighting, and after all, there will be no fun."

Speaking of this, with the previous unsubsiding sadness, the three girls couldn't help but shed tears.

Hearing this, Jia Lian hurriedly retracted his original ridicule, got up and wanted to help Tanchun and stopped, but Sister Feng and Li Kun went to persuade her.

Jia Lian hurriedly made a salute, and said sincerely: "Good girl, don't cry about this, I should not do it right. This method is useful after all, and with you in the Grand View Garden for a day, there is no reason why no one will be dispersed."

It's true that he was wrong, four or five hundred taels he doesn't seem to be worth mentioning, but on Tanchun, this matter of opening up sources and reducing expenses has been exhausted, how can he laugh at her?

I thought I was thinking about it before, what kind of bullshit was it, and I dared to have that arrogant heart.

The three girls Tanchun can insist on doing this in the Grand View Garden, isn't it ten thousand times better than the incompetent self now?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian apologized again and again.

Tanchun hurriedly came to help Jia Lian, how could anyone be so considerate of his sister as a brother, but he was so anxious that people forgot how to cry.

While he was talking, Shan Daliang's family outside came in and said, "The ancestor has woken up, and the wife said that while the time comes, everyone will go to worship the New Year, and then talk in the evening."

They all knew about the old lady's condition, and everyone in the flower hall glanced at each other, and they all walked out and went to Jia's mother's courtyard to find her.

This year, Chinese New Year's Eve in Rongfu was much colder.

Dongfu didn't mention the New Year together, the funeral of the eldest lord Jia Yu was in front, the second master Jia Lian was going to be assigned later, and the old lady was also drowsy all night, so people didn't dare to make a sound.

At the New Year's banquet, the virtuous concubine in the palace did not send any letters, which had never been done before.

It stands to reason that on the days of the New Year, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuanchun generally has some messages to come out to celebrate the festival together.

The second master, Jia Zheng, sent several groups of people to the imperial city repeatedly, and even the chief housekeeper Lin Zhixiao was sent, but strangely none of them came back.

The more I ate, the more panicked I became, and it dispersed in less than midnight.

In the early morning of the next day, the chief housekeeper Lin Zhixiao was wet and returned to the Rong Mansion with a scorched black face.

"Unbelievable! There are chaotic soldiers in the imperial city, and there are fires on all sides, and they will kill anyone they see! Several of our family members have lost their shadows, and the villain also lost his life to find a well to hide in, so he escaped with his life and came back."

When Jia Zheng heard this, the tiredness of sleepless all night was bluffed, and he said in a panic: "Isolated from the inside and outside, no wonder I can't hear from my mother. Why is it that the palace is so good, and this thing is bad...... Hurry up and call Jia Lian to come!"

As soon as he spoke, Jia Zheng shook his hand again and asked Lin Zhixiao to go down and clean up first, go out first, and come over in the north-south road.
