Seeing that Li Kun accepted the silver and ice cream sent over, the attacker also smiled: "Grandma Zhu, then it's okay, I'll go back first."

Listening to the attacking words, Li Kun also smiled and said, "Then I'll let Su Yun send you."

After that, Li Kun instructed Su Yun next to him: "Su Yun, you go and send off the attacker."

Su Yun nodded hurriedly, and then followed the attacker.

Seeing the attacker and Su Yun leaving, Li Kun turned around and looked back at Jia Lan and asked, "Lan'er, how are the imperial examinations in this school going recently?" Have you ever memorized all four books skillfully?"

Jia Lan couldn't help but smile slightly: "Mother, I have memorized a lot of the four books, if I want to reach the realm of not forgetting to be familiar with it, I am afraid it will still take a lot of time. I also ask my mother not to worry about this matter, my son must study hard, make a name for himself, and in the future, he will be the same as Brother Yun'er, so that his mother can enjoy pure blessings."

Li Kun was very satisfied with Jia Lan's words, so he hurriedly took Jia Lan into the inner room, and after pouring water for Jia Lan, he said, "You have to walk around with Brother Yun more in the future!"

Although he is a figure of the same generation as you, he is from a champion background, and he is extraordinary.

If my son wants to become famous and become an official in the future, I still need more help from him."

Jia Lan took the water cup handed over by Li Kun, took a sip of water sharply, and then said, "Mother, I saw that the attacker made a special trip to deliver something, I think it was Brother Yun'er's kindness, and my mother should not refrain in the future.

Otherwise, if Brother Yun felt that he was brushing his face and offended him, how would this be good?

What's more, I don't have any ill will towards our mother and son, so why should my mother refuse people thousands of miles away?"

Li Kun shook his head, and it was inconvenient to talk to Jia Lan about more embarrassing things.

She is a merry widow, and she is only twenty or thirty years old, and in terms of generation, she is Jia Yun's eldest aunt.

As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door.

Although Jia Yun is willing to take the initiative to help herself, although she is also kind, she will inevitably make people gossip and slander the private relationship between the two of them behind her back, and there is some suspicion of shady deeds.

There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's door, and the world is always sinister.

Once there is such a man next to Li Kun to come out for activities, she will take care of her own face to some extent, afraid that she will not have face to go out to meet people.

Li Kun has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a knowledgeable and knowledgeable cultural person.

In this kind of etiquette and religious defense, chaste women who are also extremely valued will definitely not dare to get too close to Jia Yun, and provoke others to laugh and gossip.

Although Jia Lan is smart, she can't think of these things, she is just confused and weird, and she only feels that Jia Yun is willing to help herself, which must be a good thing, why is her mother not willing to let Brother Yun help her?

.......

At the same time, Yingchun came to Rongguo Mansion again and went to Tanchun's house.

Tanchun was in the house dealing with the housekeeping of Rongguo Mansion, and the affairs of the family, and now all of them fell on top of her head, which is no wonder she has a headache.

She needs to decide how many things, big or small.

When Tanchun didn't take care of things before, he was very envious of Wang Xifeng.

I envy this Sister Feng who holds great power and has great prestige as the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion.

But now!

Tanchun knew that it was not easy for this housekeeper, but he knew that this big family also had some big difficulties, food and clothing, bribing eunuchs, favors, etc., which did not cost silver?

But where did the money come from?

Tanchun looked at the mother-in-law below, flipped through the account book in his hand again, and asked dissatisfiedly: "The harvest on the grange, why is it that the harvest on the grange is so bad for one or two years, and it is not as good as a year after year?"

The woman also grinned and said with a smile, "Third girl, there is really no way to do the above things in our Zhuangzi!

In the past two years, the years have not been good, and droughts and floods are frequent

The harvest is also owed.

In many cases, people are dying of starvation, and where can they still pay in full according to the rules of previous years?

This year's annual season is not good, and there have been no days of rain in March until now.

I'm afraid there will be another famine this year.

In the past, the fields of Ningguofu were still a little better, but the fields of our Rongguofu really couldn't survive.

People still can't eat, can they bring so many things?

If you go to the heart of the three girls and bodhisattvas, and do well, you will tolerate us a few times and give us a way to live."

Hearing the words of this mother-in-law, everyone in the room suddenly became noisy.

Although Tanchun also felt that the forced expropriation at the moment, he was afraid that there would be no harvest, and he really couldn't collect it, but he was still dissatisfied and said, "Our Rongguo Mansion has few sources of income, and now that I hear you say this, won't we be able to count on you in the future?

Who doesn't have a few difficulties? It's just that so many people up and down in our Rongguo Mansion are counting on silver for eating, and most of them are called by local officials, and those who are short of money are far from being as simple as you countrymen think.

This is a great difficulty, and since the harvest is in arrears in the year of disaster, then I will not embarrass you, and you will have to pay more if you can."

When the mother-in-law saw Tanchun say this, she also said helplessly: "Yes, yes, three girls, I also understand this truth, and I will do my best."

Tanchun also sighed.

Not only did he feel annoyed in his heart, but he also felt that the men in the family except Jia Yun were all some wine bags and rice bags, and they didn't have any economic means, so they couldn't help but complain: "Such a big mess, just throw it to me alone, how can I manage it?"

The mothers-in-law below laughed when they heard this: "The third girl has always been smart and a capable person. Since ancient times, it has been a capable person who works hard! The old lady and her wife are also at ease and trust in the three girls, and they will not let the three girls be embarrassed."

Tanchun waved his hand: "Hey, this world is difficult now! Before the construction of the Grand View Garden, it was a waste of a lot of silver, and I haven't seen a few pieces of silver so far. Although it was Brother Yun'er from Dongfu who helped him get some silver out of thin air, it was really a drop in the bucket."

Most of the princes and clans have good faces and need to maintain a rich and noble system.

Then there are a lot of places that need to be taken care of up and down.

In the past, Rongguo Mansion was fine, sitting and eating the mountain empty, in the end, there were still old books left by the ancestors to eat.

But that's no longer the case.

The old books left by the ancestors of the past have bottomed out.

I'm afraid that the building will collapse, and it won't be a few years later.

There is no need for the emperor to raid the Rongguo Mansion, just because there is no silver to call, it is the sunset, which is irretrievable.
