No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Originally, there was a group of boys eager to take part in the county examination. Every family in Beijing paid close attention to it. They were all waiting to see what the Jia family's private school, taught by uncles Jia She and Jia Zhen, could do. Collect the papers. There is no need to reveal their names in the county examination, and then put the papers of the dozen children of the Jia family together with the papers of other people's private schools. I heard that no matter how much the examiners of the Jia family are bothered, they won't be able to do anything." Eunuch Xia said with a smile. .

"What do you mean?" The new emperor was startled. He had listened to the old lady's class before and knew her temperament, but he could write the paper so well that even the political opponents and examiners would find it difficult to pass it. How good could it be?
"That's right. They said they would arrange them together. They said their children's papers were all written in official Chinese style. They were all written in small regular script. Even if they were laid out, it could be seen that each person's character was different. Even if they were measured with a ruler, they would be fine. Make sure that every word is of normal size. The examiners all said, The Jia family is not training the pillars of the country, but training masters, right?" Eunuch Xia chuckled.

He also listened to the old lady scolding the students for not being good at calligraphy, which shows how strict the Jia family school is on children's calligraphy.I used to think that the old lady was being picky, but now I see that this alone can throw other students off the street.

The new emperor looked at the memorials on the table. They were all written by masters from various schools in small regular script. So without looking at the signatures, he would not know who was who.I also found it funny and thought about it, "Do you also think the old lady is being picky?"

"That's not true. The servant was chatting with the old lady that day. The old lady said, 'The so-called love at first sight is all about lust.' This shows how important appearance is. Good words mean that you get the head start and don't give others a chance to suppress you. Otherwise, The paper was taken away from me at the beginning, and they bluntly said that their basic skills were not good enough, and no one would say that they were selfish."

"You like chatting with the old lady so much?" The new emperor has heard that Eunuch Xia went out of the palace to chat with the old lady several times.

"Yes, yes, when people get older, they like to find people to chat with." Eunuch Xia hurriedly lowered his head and smiled.

"Is Jia Yuan's marriage settled?" the new emperor said while reading the book. It took him a long time to ask.In fact, Jia Yuan's marriage is now the last step. Now that it's settled, it's almost like a gift.

"Yes!" Eunuch Xia had a layer of white sweat on his back and didn't know what to say.Looking back at the new emperor, he glanced at him, thought about it, and forced out a smile, "This time, it can be seen that the Jia family is really united. The official issued a 1 Wan Liang was given to the old lady; and the old lady returned half of it to the official, took out her own private room to make up for it, and even opened the warehouse to take out the furniture that she had given as a wedding dowry. If it belonged to someone else, she would probably say Jia The family failed, but this time, everyone said that the old lady was extremely partial. The old lady's blessing was really unmatched by ordinary people. Mr. Zheng also gave 1 taels to Miss Jia, but Miss Jia asked Jia to Jue goes to add property to his second wife, but he cannot let his second wife split up in the future and have nothing. I heard that Mr. Zheng often hides his face and cries because he is reluctant to let go of his daughter."

"Then does her dowry count as too much or too little?" The new emperor really didn't know what the market was like now.

"Of course it's a lot. Nowadays, there are only a handful of families with girls like the Jia family who have more than 5000 taels in total. For example, when the second girl from the Zhen family married into the Prince's Palace in Beijing, she brought with her a boatload of dowry, but after the dowry was revealed, I heard it's only about 1 taels, and it's also a betrothal gift from the Prince of Beijing, so the Jia family is still very wealthy." Eunuch Xia knew the answer and said hurriedly.

"Where did Jia Zheng get 1 taels?" The new emperor raised his head. He knew the Jia family's finances very well. He had paid great attention to the old lady's way of doing things since she used various methods to deal with the slaves.Naturally, Fannie and Freddie’s finances must be carefully studied.

Every emperor actually faced the same dilemma, no money!Those who say that the royal family is rich in the world mean that they have not really brought themselves into the attitude of being a family member.Even a small number of people in the Jia family still have to worry about money, let alone the court.Seeing them robbing slaves, the new emperor wanted to imitate him, but he didn't have the guts for the time being.But don’t delay his research.

Seeing that the Jia family had snatched away their slaves, most of the crisis between their two houses had been resolved.So what we are doing is the integration of resources. For example, after the Jia family reduced costs and reduced staff to increase efficiency, the Rongning Second Mansion looked refreshed. Even its reputation has improved a lot. The absurd and unethical things done by the old and young men before , no one is talking about it now, it is those unscrupulous slaves who are out there ruining the reputation of the family master.

They released all the slaves they had bought from outside, and did not charge them any money. Those who were decent were rewarded with silver. They also asked the chief steward to take them to the Yamen in person to go through the formalities, and then sent them back and handed them over to their parents to do the same thing. Coming down, it looks like a Jishan home.

Especially the handling of the Lai family is really decent, and I have paid you all the salary you deserve over the years. I will give you a lot, but you have to spit out the excess.

This also shows that what the old lady has to do is to prevent others from taking advantage of her.Everything was done in an orderly manner, and he made good use of the law to endorse Jia's family.As a result, Jia Mansion's lintel swept away its previous decline and became prosperous again.

But the money of the Lai family, as well as the money copied and picked up by the honorable servants, is also the common wealth of the officials, and this wealth must be inherited by the descendants. This has nothing to do with the second wife Jia Zheng.He can use it, but it's not his, it belongs to the official.

In one year of Jia Zheng's life, the amount of rice, cloth, money, and various subsidies from unpopular government offices amounted to only one thousand three hundred and four hundred taels.Although he now has a different style from the noble man before and knows how to be diligent and thrifty in managing his family, he is not someone who can come up with 400 taels of cash in one go.

"Yes, this is the reason why the servant said that the Jia family is really united. At the end of the year, each village sent back its calendar. Jia She distributed 1 taels of cash to the second house, saying that the second house had not saved enough money before, but now that he is here, he will Publicly save it for the second roommate. When word spreads, no one will praise Jia Enhou for his generosity." Eunuch Xia likes to go to Jia's house. Another reason is that he really likes Jia She. He is not stingy. He is really a bastard when he is doing it, but it is fun. , it’s also really fun.

"Jia Zheng is not angry to death. Isn't this stabbing him in the heart?" The new emperor spat out the tea in a sip.This is really like what Jia She did. I gave you the money, but if I don’t make you angry to death, am I still your big brother?

"That's not true. Jia Zheng has a mediocre temperament. He married a rich wife before, hoping that his life would be better. But it turned out that the Wang family didn't know how to educate their daughter. That wife was a prodigal and was extremely stingy. , the eldest girl got married this time, and the Wang family didn't pay a penny. The eldest girl's dowry was all done by the old lady of the Jia family, the eldest master, and the second master together. Not a single thread from your Wang family was used. So the eldest master gave the second master 1 Two, in fact, I also want to make him look good. After all, when the eldest daughter gets married and becomes the biological father, you can't blame the old lady and the eldest son. Master Zheng knows the eldest master's painstaking efforts." The old man thought about Jia Zheng, and then I feel that Jia She actually said that with great pains. The two brothers are really not as bad as what others say.

My health is fine today, thank you all.But a lot of people in the unit got cold.It seems that this wave of influenza is also very powerful.
