After enjoying a hearty and warm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, several children got red envelopes from the old lady and happily gathered together to discuss how to spend such a large amount of "huge money". Only Chang Yujiao was alone, silently handing the red envelope to a grandmother beside her, and Chang Jinbai realized that when she came over today, it was not Ru Ping who was followed by her.

His eyes were gloomy, and Chang Jinbai took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to recruiting Sanfu.

"Go to the eldest lady's house and take a look, and see why Ru Ping didn't follow the third lady today."

Sanfu should go down, and the brothers and sisters here also plan to go back to rest. Tomorrow morning is the day when families walk the streets and alleys to greet each other, and the children have to go to the front hall early in the morning to wait, just to show that he often treats people well, and the guests are also the names of relatives and relatives who are treated equally.

Jiang's courtyard has never been so easy to enter, and the people below are also extremely well controlled, and Sanfu has not been able to find out any news after all. But at breakfast on the second day, I saw Ru Ping coming back again, but her eyes were a lot empty. Without thinking about it, Chang Jinbai knew that this girl must have been severely criticized yesterday, and planned to ask her when he had time to go back.

For a few days, the gates of Changfu were full of people. It stands to reason that although he Chang Hao is a second-class person, he is just a book in the end, which is not very prestigious, and it is far from worthy of so many colleagues in the DPRK and China to visit him.

But Chang Hao people just have such a great ability. Without him, it is only because what Chang Hao is in charge of is an important institution that holds the economic lifeline of the huge empire - the household department.

Population surveys, money and grain collections, tax revenue banks, and all kinds of important businesses related to the people's livelihood are all controlled by their household departments. The gang of people in the cabinet can say that they have to eat and live in private, right? It can be said that from the Ninety-Five Supreme to the common people of Limin, if they want to live a good life, they can't bypass the hands of their households. In the court, you can say that the criminal department is the head of the six departments, but in the eyes of ordinary people, who doesn't know that they are the only ones in charge of money in the court? Even all the expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to go to the account of the household department, so isn't it clear where the importance of this household department is reflected?

Therefore, for a few days in a row, the people who came to visit their mansion were basically Chang Hao's colleagues in the DPRK and China, and it was not until the fourth and fifth days of the new year that the situation improved slightly, and some relatives from all over the country and officials who were really close to Chang Hao began to come to the mansion to chat.

Seeing relatives has always been something Chang Jinbai is not willing to do. In the previous life, their family was like that, the seven aunts and eight aunts all disliked their poor family, and the conditions were poor and they were unwilling to come and go, and then he made a fortune, and when he became the general manager, he began to lick his face and stammer, which made him full of disgust for the word relative. So this time, a relative came to the door, and Chang Jinbai directly asked Sanfu to go back, he was unwell, and hid in the house to be happy.

And it's not just him, his good second sister Chang Yuning is also very good at this. Before Chang Jiangang came to this world, she would already use all kinds of small means to avoid such boring gatherings. Now that Chang Jinbai is with her, Chang Yu is rather happy, the sisters and brothers have been in Chang Jinbai's warm room all afternoon to read books and chat about idle days, and even dinner is used in his room, so happy and happy.

It was late at night, and the sister and brother quietly went out to greet the old grandmother, thinking that the annoying relatives should have all returned.

Walking around the corner of the corridor, Chang Jinbai was caught off guard by a small body. Fortunately, he hasn't exercised in vain for most of the year, and his lower plate is extremely stable, so he hasn't been hit by someone who has come. On the contrary, Chang Yuning on the side was taken aback, and subconsciously put on a posture to look like a professional boxer, how can he have the image of a half-point eldest lady?

Sanfu felt sorry for his young master, and immediately stepped forward dissatisfiedly, pulled away the person who bumped into him, and scolded: "Where did the little cheap hooves come from? Don't you have long eyes when you walk? Look at the one who hit our young master, if something happens to you... Ay?! Ru Ping, are you Ru Ping? Second Miss Young Master, this is Ru Ping! ”

Chang Jinbai's originally dissatisfied expression suddenly became more and more solemn. He knew that Ru Ping had a lively personality, but she was by no means a crazy woman who didn't know the rules and ran around. Now this is no longer the case. Eighty percent of it was Chang Yujiao's side that had an accident.

"Third Young Master, Second Miss! Slaves... The slave didn't check for a while, and collided with the two, please forgive the third young master, Miss Son, forgive the sin! Ru Ping was unusual, lowered her head and hurriedly knelt in front of everyone.

Chang Yuning hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her.

"What's going on, huh? Ru Ping, yo, look at your face, look at the fifth child, this is clear... It's clearly a slap print! What the hell is going on, Ru Ping? Could it be... Could it be the third sister... No, it can't be, just that girl's temper... Could it be a big lady? Oh, what the hell is going on, Ru Ping, you are talking, don't cry, okay? Oops, I'm going to die! ”

Chang Yuning's quick temper kept asking questions, but Ru Ping seemed to be stunned, she just covered her face and cried, but she couldn't say a word for a long time.

The sixth sense made Chang Jinbai think that this matter was not trivial, and his tone was a little more severe.

"Okay, don't cry, Ru Ping, I'm asking you now, is there any trouble on the third sister's side? If you really feel sorry for your young lady, then tell us the truth about what happened, do you hear? ”

As soon as he asked this, Ru Ping really obediently closed her mouth and stopped crying. Qingque handed over a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face, and a large red mark clearly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Sanfu was angry: "My God, look at the young master!" This mark on Ru Ping's face, how many hands must have been under it? ”

Chang Jinbai also had a gloomy face, but he didn't speak, quietly waiting for Ru Ping to take the initiative to tell the truth.

finally relieved herself, and Ru Ping was finally able to speak. From her intermittent narration, everyone understood that the sister-in-law of today's eldest lady Jiang also came to the house with her two children.

Jiang's family is illustrious, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family. She is the eldest daughter in the family, and each has a younger brother and sister. Among them, this younger brother Jiang Yuqing is now serving as the government in Longxi, and he has made great achievements in office for many years, and he is a good official with a good reputation.

And her sister-in-law Jiang Yuyan married Xu Zhiqiang Xu, who is currently a doctor, two years after she married Chang Hao, and the two had a son and a daughter after marriage, the elder sister is called Xu Yao, and the younger brother is called Xu Zhang. In terms of relationship, these two people are Chang Yujiao's cousins and brothers.

Jiang is jealous but strict and fair, and his younger brother Jiang Yuqing is similar in age to his sister, and his personality is quite similar. But when it comes to this sister Jiang Yuyan, the problem comes out.

Jiang Yuyan is different from her older brothers and sisters, she was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. Jiang Taifu is loyal and upright, has good conduct, has always been praised by his colleagues in the court, and the children he has educated are generally more regular and sensible, and his educational strategy is rigorous and has been praised by the emperor.

But Mrs. Jiang is parallel and upright, but the wife she married is soft-eared. Back then, in terms of educating children, Mrs. Jiang had always had high standards and strict requirements, but his wife Liu felt sorry for the children to bear so much pressure at a young age, and there were many disputes between the two about this matter.

Therefore, after the birth of the third child, Liu took the child back to his parents' house in the name of his mother's elderly parents and had no children to serve, and lived there for more than two years.

At that time, the first emperor had been ill for a long time, and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, and the court was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. As the prince's teacher, Mrs. Jiang didn't have time to take care of too much family background, so she just let her go back to her parents' house to live when his wife was homesick.

Later, when he ascended the throne, Mrs. Jiang finally became idle, and then he remembered to take his wife who had been living in his mother's house home.

However, the Liu family followed him back, but the youngest daughter was left in her grandfather's house and raised until she was fifteen years old before she was taken back to the capital.

Liu's mother's family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, with a wealthy family, and Jiang Yuyan was pampered since she was a child. When she was going to take her back to the capital, Mrs. Jiang was worried that this girl grew up in Shangjia's family, and she was afraid that she would have been raised rudely. But after returning to the capital, Mrs. Jiang found that the child's behavior, sitting, and lying down, and his words and deeds were very in line with the public's requirements for the standard of ladies and girls, and he felt very satisfied at that time. As everyone knows, this daughter of hers is famous for acting, and the tricks behind her have been used by her as early as when she was at her grandfather's house, that is, several children of her uncle's family are far from her opponents in terms of competing for favor and scheming, not to mention Mrs. Jiang, who only reads sage books and can't understand such cheap tricks.

Later, when she married into the Xu family, Jiang Yuyan's nature began to be gradually exposed. The greedy nature cultivated since childhood living in the pile of gold and silver and the shameless character of wanting to climb up the elite can be described as a perfect match, in just a few years, these two people have relied on the power in their hands and Jiang Taifu's past reputation to soar, amassing huge wealth, and bringing the greed and shamelessness of human nature to the extreme.

But these two are not brainless people, they have always been rigorous and thoughtful in their words and actions, and they never leave any handle for outsiders. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Taifu's name is on his head, even if the officials in the court and the central government know what they are doing behind their backs, they are not willing to take the risk to offend the emperor, which makes the Xu family and his wife's behavior more and more bold, and now they are the top wealthy families in Beijing.

With the words and deeds of such a pair of wonderful parents, the two children of the Xu family, Xu Yao and Xu Zhang, have developed a bad habit of arrogance and arrogance since they were young. And these two children have perfectly inherited their mother's tricks of being good at acting in front of people, and they will always be a well-behaved and sensible childlike appearance in front of outsiders, in fact, those pickled things they have done in private are really outrageous!
