No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Since the four Jinling families are above the court and have long lost the right to speak before, then how did this matter come to this stage? This is Ou Mengmeng's second question. What is the problem?
Ou Mengmeng felt that she was really turning into an old lady and it was really painful.

"Old lady, there is a letter from my aunt." Yingge sent the letter. Ganzhou is several months away from the capital by land, so when Jia Yuan wrote the letter, these things in Beijing had not happened yet, so she opened the letter by herself. Jia Yuan actually didn't write letters very often. In Ganzhou, she had to take care of three children, all of whom were still young, and there were a lot of things to do at the Zhang Town government office. It would be good for her to have one letter every ten and a half days. It was mainly to say hello and then to report the good news. Worrying news, but finally news.

Ou Mengmeng put on her reading glasses and read the letter back and forth twice.

"Old lady." Yingge held up the lamp to the old lady. This was the countryside, and the old lady's upper room was more spacious, so she just held the lamp closer. Looking at the old lady's face, she was a little worried. Many servants had died this time. Although there were no relatives of hers, they were all servants born in the family. She was also a little sad. She also saw the old lady's loss. Now she also I am worried about the old lady's condition, and I am afraid that some bad news will come from my aunt.

"It's okay. You can send the letter to the eldest master tomorrow. The eldest lady and the others are going back to Beijing." Ou Mengmeng smiled, folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and handed the letter to Yingge.

"It's great. The eldest master also sent people to visit the Zhang family before. Zhang Shangshu's house was damaged, but Zhang Houye's house was okay. Thanks to Zhang Shangshu accompanying him, Mrs. Zhang Er went to the Hou's house to help prepare for Master Sun. It's a full moon, otherwise, it would be very dangerous. When my eldest aunt returns to Beijing, she can help the second wife clean up." Yingge smiled and said in a crisp voice.

"Yes, it's good news." Ou Mengmeng knew that Yingge wanted to divert her attention. Zhang Shangshu's family was the second wife. Mrs. Zhang had been taken care of by Mrs. Zhang Hou before, and she never took care of the house by herself. Many troubles arose while waiting for the Zhang family to be separated. It made everyone uncomfortable. After Jia Yuan came to the house, he made Mrs. Zhang a little smarter. Mainly because Jia Yuan and Mrs. Zhang arranged the marriages of the two brothers below, and also brought the two brothers to school to play. Although they were not from the Jia family students have really learned a lot. At least I haven't been fooled again.

There was chaos in the capital this time. Mrs. Zhang said she was going to the Hou Mansion to help, but she was just angry with her two young daughters-in-law at home. The two younger brothers and sisters of the Zhang family are not as smart as Jia Yuan. They manage the household and finances well, but they are not as perceptive as Jia Yuan learned from serving people in the palace for five years. When Jia Yuan was there, it was naturally her responsibility to coax the second wife. She was the eldest daughter-in-law, and the second wife was also coaxed. She followed her baton happily every day, and she did not feel at all that she was being deceived by her daughter-in-law. . The Second Grandma Zhang and the Third Grandma did not have this skill, so after Jia Yuan and the others arrived in Ganzhou, the two sisters-in-law did not have the ability to coax the Second Mistress. If they did not coax, someone else did, so Zhang The second young master and the third young master were troubled for some time.

The two brothers of the Zhang family, with the mentality that their sister-in-law's natal family is also our own family, often asked Jia She for advice, and they actually solved a lot of problems. But Jia She couldn't be at Zhang's house every day, so it was a coincidence that Zhang Hou's family had a grandson. The two daughters-in-law failed to satisfy the second wife as a gift for the baby, so the second wife went to the Hou's house in anger to help. This time, the second grandma and the third grandma didn't want to endure it anymore, so they made a scene and went back to their parents' homes.

It was only that small. It happened that no one was in Shangshu Mansion that day, and then it was smashed. The loss is definitely not as big as that of the Jia family, but the current mentality of the Jia family is that as long as no one is killed, anything can be done. So I packed it up and admitted it myself.

The current problem of the Zhang family is that everyone feels that it is the other's fault. The second wife feels that if she is not at home, the two daughters-in-law should take care of the home. Now because there is no one at home, they have suffered such a big loss. I am not asking you to compensate. But let you realize your mistake. The two daughters-in-law are even more angry. We have already suffered losses, and you still say such things. What's more, luckily we weren't there that day. What if we were really there? What if something happened? Money can solve this.

Now the two brothers-in-law of the Zhang family feel that they no longer want to work. Looking at the miserable situation of the Jia family, they still know a little bit about themselves. If they were at home, they would be waiting to die. Therefore, I felt chilled when I heard my mother's words, and unanimously told Zhang Shangshu that I wanted to separate the family. We quit!

Zhang Shangshu really thinks that his wife is not smart, but even if she is not smart, she is still his legitimate wife. How can he express his opinion on such a thing? I can only play fifty bucks behind each other, stuff a little money into each of my two sons, and fool both sides. Of course, he also sent a message to his two daughters. He felt that the old wife was not allowed to do this, and the daughter-in-law could not persuade her. He did not dare to believe what others said, so he could only point at his daughter. The two daughters knew about their mother's problem, so they hurriedly called their mother to the Huaishan Prince's Mansion and tried to persuade her. That’s why Zhang Shangshu’s mansion didn’t become a joke in the capital.

Yingge mentioned this just to make the old lady stop thinking about the Jia family and think about the Zhang family, which was even more troublesome. At least the Jia family didn't have such an idiot, and she was still the mistress of the family. Maybe it can make the old lady feel better again. However, Ou Mengmeng didn't pay attention to this. She was thinking about Jia Yuan's letter that they were coming back because Zhang Zhen had been promoted.

Generally speaking, Zhang Zhen has been in Ganzhou for two years. He takes the exam every three years. If his performance is good, he will take the exam again in the same place and serve for six years to stabilize his local policies. One point, and you can move up to another level. You must know that what the Zhang family is planning for Zhang Zhen is the serious path of being the prime minister and assistant minister, and every step must not be wrong.

Like Zhang Zhen, the fact that he didn't stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years is already very criticized. Everyone is saying that he is relying on the relationship between Shangshu's biological father and sneaking in. But I also don’t want to think about it. Some of those who returned to Beijing in their thirties and entered the Sixth Department finally came out. In the officialdom, seniority is also a resource, and no one has made it step by step like boiling oil. If you are too young, you will easily be tabooed, or worse, you will be tripped up by others. What's worse, it is not impossible to fall into disgrace. Even if he has a minister, he may not be able to protect him.

Jia Yuan shouldn't know too much about this kind of thing, so after they got married, Zhang Zhen was very careful in every step he took, which suppressed his progress. This time they went to Ganzhou. Although Jia Yuan was worried about her family, she still endured her uneasiness and followed them. I just don’t want Zhang Zhen to lose everything. It had only been more than two years, and it turned out that Zhang Zhen had been promoted. Although it was hard to say much in the letter, it was obvious that this was definitely not what Zhang Zhen and she wanted.

Ganzhou also has to rush for spring plowing in May, which is the busiest time for local officials. At this time, let them return to Beijing and have other appointments. Don't say there is no problem in the middle. Ou Mengmeng looked at the dancing candlelight, so the new emperor had arranged everything a month ago. Because he didn't know who would die, Zhang Zhen, like him, was transferred to the capital first so that he could be deployed at any time. Ou Mengmeng almost wanted to sigh, so the new emperor really didn't want to pretend anymore.

I'm in a good mood today, half way through the week.
