Chapter 220 Borrowing
Can Wang Xifeng ask for advice on the Maharaja Law?
When Shen Ning returned, she asked someone to check it out. Sure enough, Wang Xifeng copied what she asked her to learn.
That’s great!
Shen Ning is not afraid that she will learn, but he is afraid that she will not learn.
Nowadays, the economic situation of the two mansions is good. Yuanchun, who spends the most money, is getting married. Jia She, who worked hard and ruined the family, has accepted it. Jia Zheng can support himself. The servants in the mansion have been cleaned several times. Although they are not as thorough as those in Dongfu, they are definitely not. Better than before.
Wang Xifeng is a good housekeeper. Under a virtuous cycle, no matter what happens, she can have a good death, right?
In the Red Mansion, Shen Ning still liked Sister Feng very much.
If she had been more careful with her aunt, Mrs. Wang, she would not have fallen into the situation of "having one thing and two things will make three people dead, and crying to Jinling will be even more tragic."
This night, Shen Ning rarely had a good sleep again.
But King Jin couldn't sleep.
He was very cold.
Broken legs and arms were very painful.
Today he crawled hard to find someone for help, but no one stopped for him. Some people even gave him a few kicks because they thought he was blocking the road.
If only a few beggars hadn't seen him pitifully and gave him some food...
King Jin wants to cry but has no tears!
He shivered and waited for dawn.
He wanted to bask in the sun, and he wanted to drink something warm, even if it was just a bowl of water.
Time finally passed slowly despite his endless calls, and the sky gradually dawned.
Early in the morning, Jia Zheng came to the city carrying the couplets he had written.
He didn't know why it was so long and tiring after more than ten miles!
But the couplets have to be sold!
He had already heard from the village chief that one of the young men who ransacked the house was a woman.
It must be a blue branch.
Yes, she comes from a border town.
The generals who came from the border towns had no roots in the capital, so the emperor should trust them more.
Once Blue Branch takes root in the capital...
Jia Zheng was afraid that if he didn't pay back the money, she would come and beat him again.
Two bamboo poles, a rope, and a bench are his stall.
Jia Zheng carefully hung the written couplets on the rope and let others choose. If he really couldn't choose, he could write them on the spot.
Of course, he also hung up the paper for writing letters, hoping to earn a few pennies.
It’s really important not to lower your expectations, as farmers are very good at bargaining.
So far in the village, he has sent fifteen blessings and two good harvests.
Despite the loss of pen and ink and red paper, I still listened to them talk a lot of nonsense.
Jia Zheng didn't know what was wrong.
His ideal pastoral life is not like this.
His ideal pastoral life is to be able to read and write and be full of wild fun.
He once thought about herding cows, but how could he have imagined that cows would poop so big that their urine would be like a small river...
This was not his idyll.
He used to imagine that when the rooster crows, he would get up and read, but now that the rooster crows..., he is even more irritable.
There was no hot tea, no hot, fragrant food, not even a hot towel to throw on my face.
You have to do everything yourself.
He had to get up shivering, boil water to wash his face and wipe his teeth, and every day besides porridge, there was still porridge.
If that's all, this porridge... often has a strange smell.
That’s something even their third-class servants wouldn’t eat!
After Jia Zheng swallowed a large bowl of strange-tasting porridge with tears today, Wang discovered that there was a piece of mouse droppings in the porridge.
This day...
Jia Zheng sometimes thought that it would be better for him to die happily while living like this.
But when I think about it, I still have to live.
He and the Wang family lived in harmony.
"How did you sell this couplet?"
An old lady came over and looked into her shrewd eyes. Jia Zheng bit the bullet.
From a distance, Long'er couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the second master bargaining with others, and when the eight cents were finally taken away by others.
The second master is in such a bad situation!
Under Nian Gen, the red paper he originally bought was quite expensive, but luckily for him, he worked hard to write, but he couldn't even keep the price of the red paper.
At this moment, he didn't know whether the second master and their master were equal brothers in need.
Their masters are now carving wood and stone, and the resulting items are often not as valuable as the original wood and stone.
Alas~
“Have a bowl of chicken soup wontons!”
Longer stamped his feet and shouted to the store owner.
"Hey, sir, sit down!"
After a while, the store owner came over with a bowl of wontons sprinkled with chives and coriander.
The fragrant chicken soup wontons are not something ordinary people can afford.
Everyone had wontons instead of chicken soup.
Long'er took one mouthful of soup and one wonton. After a while, he started to sweat a little on the tip of his nose.
Jia Zheng, who received eight cents, also wanted to make his mouth warm, but he lost money again, and this eight cents can be said to be the first time in his life that he made money by himself.
Jia Zheng was very reluctant to part with him.
He put the eight cents in his arms, touching it now and then again.
He didn't know that his appearance had been seen by many beggars.
Jia Zheng was hungry and wrote another letter to others. He also read two letters to others, so he barely earned thirty-two coins.
It was noon and he was very hungry. He looked around and saw that only the big cake was the cheapest and most filling.
Of course, the main reason is that he eats thin food and eats enough.
"Boss, how do you sell this cake?"
"Two cents each."
"Come on one!"
Jia Zheng was happy to pay, but as soon as he took out the money bag, it seemed as if a gust of wind hit him.
"Ouch~"
He was hit and staggered. When he came to his senses, the money bag was long gone, "Thief, thief, catch the thief, it's my money!"
Jia Zheng was shocked, it was the first time in his life that he had earned money!
There was a motorcade entering the city in the distance. When Xue Baochai heard the noise, she opened the curtain and took a look outside, but was pressed by Aunt Xue, "It's cold, don't let the wind blow."
"Mom, are we going to our uncle's house or our aunt's house now?"
Cousin Yuanchun is still Mrs. Xinpinghou.
There seem to be relatives everywhere in Beijing, but who do you really want to live with...
Xue Baochai always found it difficult.
"Go to your aunt's house."
"But aunt..."
"How is your aunt? We just came to Beijing, how do we know?"
Aunt Xue wanted to send her son to the Jia family to study, but the eldest brother in the Wang family was not at home, so she had no hope at all.
Her son is already very good at it. If he tries to learn from his second brother again...
Aunt Xue never thought of returning to the Wang family.
"Besides, there is your cousin over there with the Jia family."
Wang Xifeng?
Xue Baochai pursed her lips and said nothing.
There are letters between the family and the uncle's family. The uncle's family believes that it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. My cousin only knows some words and writes... Xue Baochai has seen her greetings to the Hou family. The words are not to mention ugly.
"Girl Feng is different now."
Aunt Xue sighed, "It turns out that your aunt wanted to get married. If anything happened, she could just tell Feng Yatou, but she didn't expect that the two families would suddenly separate."
With the separation of the family, the relationship between the eldest bedroom and the second bedroom was reversed.
Now that Feng Yatou is the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion, who does her sister count?
"Jia Lian has become a doctor in the arsenal department, so she is a fifth-grade Yiren."
Aunt Xue was also very sad. No matter how rich the Xue family is, they are still just businessmen.
"See you, be respectful!"
Aunt Xue knew her daughter well, because she had always had letters with her sister before. She knew her sister's attitude towards Feng Yatou, so she inevitably looked down upon her, "Today is different from the past. Your aunt is not at home, and we have to rely on her to gain a foothold in the Jia family. ”
There is certainly a way for Xiaoxuan to enter the palace, but just look at Yuanchun and you will know how difficult it is.
Although the Xue family can use money to pave the way for their daughter, in the same place in Jiangnan, the Xue family mostly relies on the Zhen family. Since the Zhen family has the King of Jin, it is impossible for them to establish their own family.
"Mom, I still want to enter the palace."
Xue Baochai knew that their family wanted to turn over, and no matter who they married, they were attached.
In this case, why not enter the most noble place in the world?
"Dad wanted me to enter the palace from the beginning."
Her father regretted that she was not a boy and could not support her family, but he did not want to let down her intelligence. The gentleman he hired said he was teaching her brother, but in fact he was teaching her.
"Okay, okay, let's handle this one by one."
At this time, they didn't know that a mutiny had just occurred in the capital, the King of Jin had fallen, and the Zhen family had already been unable to protect itself.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The Xue family's motorcade headed all the way to Ningrong Street.
Wang Xifeng was stunned when she heard that Aunt Xue and her family were coming.
While she asked someone to speak to the old lady and his wife, she and Li Wan went to the second door.
Li Wan is the nephew's daughter-in-law. If her aunt is not at home, who will support her if she doesn't support her?
As for Xue Pan...
Jia Zheng was not at home, and Jia Zhu was in the Imperial Academy. For Wang Xifeng's sake, Jia She had no choice but to accept him.
This family passively welcomes guests, and the smiles on their faces are inevitably a little far-fetched.
But what kind of person is Aunt Xue?
Pretending not to see it at all.
Without living in the Jia family, how could she, an orphan and a widower, deter the big housekeepers?
Now that the Jia family is so good, if they say defection, then they will defect.
Of course, this is a gift...
That is enough.
Even Mrs. Xing got better.
"...old lady..."
After bowing to the old lady, Aunt Xue looked like she was holding back tears, "I really didn't know my sister would be so confused."
"Alas~"
The old lady still didn't know how miserable her son would be.
But, compared to the prodigal Wang family, it was really not easy for Aunt Xue to take care of a pair of children and worry about them exhaustively after the Xue family left.
"I won't talk about her."
Mainly because the second son is useless.
Jia Mu waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down, "You are coming to Beijing at this time..."
"...To be fair to the old lady, I came to Beijing at this time mainly to join my sister and Feng Yatou."
Aunt Xue added Wang Xifeng.
My niece is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, so it would not look good to shut her out as an aunt. "As you know, Pan'er has no one to teach her now that the head of the family has gone, and she is getting more and more naughty now. My sister told me before However, the Jia family is very good at learning, but if you can’t do it, come here.”
It would be better to say that she came here by invitation than to come up on her own.
"I hesitated for a long time, but now Baochai is getting older and is ready to be selected for the palace."
Aunt Xue looks loyal and kind, and speaks gently and softly.
Although the Shi family has made some progress again among the four major families, the Shi family's financial resources are thin. If they really rely on old relatives to get closer... the Xue family's wealth may be consumed faster.
"Old lady, I didn't expect such a big change here, and the house in this house has not been cleaned up..."
When she said this, she quickly looked at everyone, and found that only the old lady's face was relaxed. She hurriedly tried hard on her, "Look, can we stay here for a few days, and then we can move in after cleaning up the house?" Go back?”
this?
Just say no, they have already said it.
Say yes...
Mother Jia sighed, "You also know that the family has been divided. Now your sister and the others live in Lixiangyuan. How about this? There is a small courtyard next to Lixiangyuan. If you don't mind it being crowded..."
"No matter what, no matter what..."
How could you dislike it?
Aunt Xue looked eagerly at Wang Xifeng and Li Wan again.
When these two people took her all the way to the upper chamber, although they talked about a lot of difficulties, they did not make it clear, "We will have to trouble my nephew's wife and Feng Yatou."
"...should."
Li Wan did not expect that after his mother-in-law left, there would be another elder in the family.
Wang Xifeng used to like to show off his strength, but now because of Jia Lian, he has to think more often.
If you are not careful, you might end up like your aunt...
Wang Xifeng is afraid!
She doesn't have any children yet.
The men of the Jia family are now very popular.
Especially Jia Lian.
That means they get married early.
"Since Auntie doesn't mind the crowding, I'll let someone clean it up."
Wang Xifeng was thinking about the layout of the small courtyard.
Xue Pan is a foreigner and cannot come to the inner house, so he can only open a door in the courtyard.
She doesn't like opening the door!
There was a mutiny a few days ago, and there were so many gates in Dongfu that I didn’t know how many people had to be dispersed to guard the gates.
Why don't we open the door and let them live in the guest house in the outer courtyard?
It doesn’t seem to work either.
Look at my aunt like this...
Now that I have voted, I probably won’t leave easily.
"Go, go!"
Jia Mu didn't think too much. She saw that Baochai looked very good and said, "You are Baochai, come here and let me take a look."
Xue Baochai hurriedly stood up and saluted, and asked her to take Haosheng to look at him, "Well, he is a neat child." Relatives said that this child was really good enough to be with the emperor.
"The old lady praised me."
Xue Baochai was shy, "I heard from my aunt that the sisters in the house are very nice."
"What a good thing they are!"
Speaking of her several granddaughters, Jia's mother was very happy, "each of them learned some exquisite naughty things." She wanted to show off and said to Yuanyang: "We have visitors from far away, please give the girls a day off."
< br>
"Eh~"
Yuanyang responded with a smile.
"Are the sisters at school?"
Xue Baochai was very curious.
She had never let her husband worry about her studies. Not only did her father feel sorry for her talent, but so did her husband.
Xue Baochai wanted to know the difference between herself and the daughters of these princes.
"Just recognize some words."
Jia's mother was modest on behalf of her granddaughters, "What books has Baochai read?"
"...I just read the Four Books on Women."
Xue Baochai glanced at her mother and said the "Four Books of Women" very shyly.
Anyway, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying this.
By the time Shen Ning found out that the Xue family was coming to Beijing and moving into Rongguo Mansion, everything was almost done there.
For Xue Baochai...
She really wants to meet him!
The first of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, which is as famous as Lin Daiyu.
If you say she is not good, it can only be said that she is too scheming and can only be seen from a distance but not up close.
"How did the Xue family arrange it?"
Shen Ning also thought of Xue Pan immediately.
Unlike in the Red Mansion, the Jia Family School was terrible, and he was even worse there. The current Jia Family School...
Xue Pan was afraid of crying if he wanted to go in.
